A great battle had taken place here before. Even someone new to the Cultivation Realm like Ye Qing could tell at a glance; however, the expression on her face was full of shock. Because looking out into the sky, even tens of thousands of miles away, the scene remained the same!

The ground here was riddled with huge, deep pits. Standing on the ground and looking forward, it was a flat expanse with no end in sight!

A layer of green grass covered the area, with some young saplings swaying in the wind. It was clear that the battle here had just occurred not long ago. The spirit energy in the Cultivation Realm is so abundant that plants grow at an exceptionally fast rate.

In a mundane world without spirit energy, it could take decades for a tree to grow to great heights, but in the Cultivation Realm, it may only take a month or two, or even shorter.

Thus, from the patches of saplings that were two or three feet tall, one could tell that the battle likely took place just a few days ago.

"Has there already been a battle here?" Ye Qing muttered quietly.

Chu Mo sensed something more. In this void, he felt the residue of a supreme aura.

The victor didn't even bother to erase their presence before leaving composedly. Yes, the supreme aura Chu Mo felt belonged to the victor.

In this void, there were also traces of an unwilling resentment, whether it belonged to a supreme being was unclear, but it was definitely from a human cultivator and immensely powerful.

The human beings who end up in the Trial Field, with the exception of accidental entrants like Ye Qing, are almost all devoid of weakness.

"Let's go." Chu Mo quietly left the place with Ye Qing, thinking to himself: Is the cruel battle about to start?

A day later, Chu Mo and Ye Qing arrived at a large city, about half a day's travel from where the battle had occurred.

Could the conflict have originated in this city, leading them to resolve it in that place?

In the Trial Field, there's actually a city? This was Chu Mo's first thought upon seeing this city.

After that, he saw cultivators coming and going from the city. Nearly every cultivator exuded a mighty aura, all striding proudly, full of vigor. Some were heavy with killing intent, not attempting to hide it in any way.

Chu Mo clearly saw that when those with intense killing intent entered the city, others kept their distance and did not approach them.

Interesting.

The Trial Field indeed gave Chu Mo a whole new feeling—there were human cities here that seemed orderly. However, killing was common.

In this gathering place of Heavenly Geniuses, conflicts are too easy to arise, especially since Chu Mo had prepared himself enough before arriving. Now, it seemed there were still places where battles could be avoided, like this city in front of him.

Although he had not yet entered, Chu Mo could guess that inside this city, fighting was probably not allowed.

After all, even the strongest cultivators need a place to settle and exchange.

"Shall we go in?" Ye Qing asked timidly, looking at Chu Mo. Although she had also experienced many battles during this time, those were against non-human beings. She had never fought a human cultivator before and could clearly perceive the unfriendly aura emanating from those people, leaving her somewhat bewildered.

"Of course." Chu Mo nodded. He had come here to temper himself!

If he simply wanted to break through to the Supreme Realm, he could have hidden in the place where he defeated the giant mantis and slowly cultivated. He believed that it would take only a few years for him to break through his current realm and step into the Supreme Realm to become enlightened.

But that was not Chu Mo's desire.

"Okay." Ye Qing nodded her head, obediently following Chu Mo's words. Not to mention whether she would become Chu Mo's maidservant, his act of imparting cultivation techniques to her and teaching her battle experience, which allowed her rapid growth, was akin to the grace of a Master. This made Ye Qing always maintain absolute respect before Chu Mo.

The two entered the city without drawing any attention. Cultivators like them were quite common in this city and no one gave them a second glance.

Chu Mo led Ye Qing into a restaurant. Glancing casually at the menu prices, even the wealthy Chu Mo couldn't help but be taken aback, thinking: Damn that's expensive!

A single dish cost tens of thousands of top-grade, top-level crystals. The top-grade crystals mentioned here should be the Heavenly Crystals. Chu Mo had yet to see any crystals better than the Heavenly Crystals. Some dishes cost even hundreds of thousands or millions of Heavenly Crystals!

But the dishes and wines here were all top-grade delicacies. Key is, all the waiters here were Quasi-Supreme realm cultivators. Being served by such cultivators, the exorbitant prices seemed somewhat acceptable after all.

Ye Qing, meanwhile, wore an expressionless face because she simply did not understand! She had no idea what those prices represented. If she did, a mere glance would probably scare her half to death.

Perhaps because it was too expensive, not many customers were in the restaurant's main hall. When Chu Mo and Ye Qing entered, the waiter immediately greeted them with a smile, "Would the two guests like a meal?"

Chu Mo nodded, feeling quite peculiar inside, seeing a Quasi-Supreme realm cultivator bowing and scraping like a little waiter to the people entering the restaurant. It was quite strange to think about.

But the Quasi-Supreme realm cultivator didn't seem to mind, leading Chu Mo and Ye Qing enthusiastically to a seat by the window. From there, people outside could see them.

To attract customers, the waiter was indeed putting in a lot of effort.

Chu Mo thought to himself.

Then he took out a Heavenly Crystal: "Shall we settle the bill with this?"

The waiter took a look at the superior Heavenly Crystal stone without any hint of emotion in his eyes, simply nodding lightly: "Not bad."

"Good, give me a few of the restaurant's signature dishes at random," Chu Mo said offhandedly.

"A few?" The waiter was slightly taken aback.

At that moment, people at several other tables in the hall couldn't help but turn their heads to glance at Chu Mo. In their eyes, there was a bit of strangeness.

"Yes, is there a problem?" Chu Mo glanced at the waiter and then at the tables of those people, and found himself slightly startled. He hadn't noticed the food on those people's tables earlier. Now, he realized that even with four people sitting together, there were only one or two dishes on the table!

Seems... I have revealed that I am quite wealthy?

Chu Mo felt somewhat at a loss for words.

Truth be told, he had never worried about resources for his cultivation. In his view, any cultivator who could enter the Trial Field was a top-tier Heavenly Genius of their respective domains. How could these people be lacking money?

But judging from the eyes of those few tables, they seemed... quite astonished? Could they be poor?

By now, the waiter had also collected himself, looking at Chu Mo with a much more enthusiastic demeanor and said, "How about... you take a private room upstairs? The hall is a bit noisy, and it's quieter in a private room... Those rooms, they are all equipped with arrays, ensuring more private conversations. Hehe..."

As he spoke, the waiter gave Chu Mo a knowing smile. After all, with his cultivation at a certain realm, he boasted considerable discernment. Upon Chu Mo's entrance, he had already glanced at the prices of the signature dishes on the wall. Despite showing a hint of surprise, he didn't have any excessive reaction.

That was enough to show that his financial means were not lacking. As for that woman, she was even more impressive! She didn't even spare a glance at the prices on the wall!

If this Quasi-Supreme waiter knew Ye Qing's true background, he would have sobbed. To think that he, too, could misjudge.

Chu Mo was somewhat speechless, thinking to himself, do I look like someone who would cause trouble in your restaurant?

However, he declined the waiter's suggestion. Being new to the place, he wanted to learn more about the situation in the Trial Field. Hearing about it from others was never as good as experiencing it firsthand.

The waiter simply shrugged with indifference and said, "If the honored guest prefers to stay in the hall, that's fine. Don't worry, the drinks and dishes will be served shortly!"

Chu Mo was eager to overhear what those people were discussing, to familiarize himself with the Trial Field through their conversation.

However, he quickly became disappointed because this group of people was actually communicating with telepathic thoughts!

Really, granny!

Chu Mo was filled with black lines, showing a dumbfounded expression.

This incident was indeed frustrating, way too much!

Even though you are all top-tier Heavenly Geniuses from the same domain, even though the weakest among you is at the peak of Quasi-Supreme Realm. But this is a restaurant, not a tea house, is such silence really necessary?

At this moment, suddenly at one table where three people were sitting, they began to converse verbally.

"What do you think, can Junior King Ji make it onto the Heavenly Ranking this time?" a man appearing to be in his thirties asked.

"Junior King Ji has the strength, but lacks a bit of luck. Last time, it's said that he encountered Jiang Caiyue, who ranks tenth on the Heavenly Ranking, and nearly won. Unfortunately, Jiang Caiyue used the Ji Family's powerful divine ability in the end, repelling Junior King Ji with one move. It's said that if it weren't for the fact that the Jiang Family has some connections to the imperial Ji Family, that strike... could have taken Junior King Ji's life," a young man in his twenties said animatedly.

"Alas, Junior King Ji is indeed a bit unlucky. Who else could he have chosen but Jiang Caiyue? That woman..."

Just as a similarly thirty-something man in fine clothes was speaking, a woman in a white dress walked in, her gaze turning towards the finely dressed man in his thirties.

"Uh..." The finely dressed man was facing the door and as he mentioned "that woman," he saw the white-dressed lady enter, choking back the rest of his words as his face turned beet red.

The people at the other tables also noticed the lady in white, and some looked towards the finely dressed man, their eyes revealing a hint of taunting.

That's what you get for running your mouth!

Wouldn't telepathic communication suffice? Insisting on speaking out loud to satisfy your lips, now that the person concerned is here, dare you speak?

Certainly not!

The finely dressed young man watched the lady in white nervously.

But the lady in the white dress seemed as if she didn't see him at all, walking straight towards Chu Mo and Ye Qing.

The finely dressed man showed a look of relief in his eyes, grateful that she didn't bother to deal with him. With his face still flushed, he lowered his head, then out of curiosity, looked up again towards Chu Mo's direction.

The woman in white arrived in front of Chu Mo and Ye Qing, then, looking at Ye Qing, said in a cold voice, "I've noticed you ever since you entered the city."
