Chu Mo chuckled wryly, "I certainly did not intend to ambush you."
"Sweet talker, do you take me for a fool?" Prince Ji sneered a few times, then gave Chu Mo an icy stare, "Then what are you still doing here?"
"Just enjoying the show!" Chu Mo said with an expression of 'as it should be by right'.
Prince Ji's mouth twitched, and he said coldly, "Stop making trouble for yourself, get lost and stay far away."
His temper was as nasty as ever. Chu Mo looked at him wryly for a moment then suddenly made his move!
He executed the zhen character mnemonic from the Daoism's Nine Word Mantra!
Now in the Supreme Realm, Chu Mo could distinctly feel the difference when executing the zhen character mnemonic. Although he had already become enlightened before and had the right state of mind, he had lacked the corresponding power!
Now that he had stepped into the Supreme Realm and started to use the Nine Word Mantra again, both the Dao and the power sustaining the Dao were sufficiently strong!
In this segment of the void, including the domain set by the disposable Imperial Seal of Prince Ji, time in all areas suddenly froze!
Space was divided into segments, and then the grey bat's body suddenly appeared in front of Chu Mo. Chu Mo casually collected the grey bat, and then said, "This creature is indeed a rare and excellent material, if you don't want it, I'll take it."
Prince Ji had already decided to use another disposable powerful dharma instrument. Hearing this, he almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood, glaring at Chu Mo, "I am the one who killed it!"
"Is that so? I know, oh, oh, oh, I forgot to thank you." Chu Mo said with a face of sudden realization.
"Who needs your thanks? Give it back to me!" Prince Ji could not contain his fury. How could he not know that the grey bat was valuable? The creature was terribly difficult to deal with, but it was a first-rate material for artifact forging. Even in a place like the Trial Field, its numbers were not great. It truly was rare and expensive.
The reason Prince Ji didn't collect it immediately was because of Chu Mo's presence. He didn't want to be distracted. He never expected that Chu Mo wasn't after him but his prey instead.
Prince Ji's face went completely dark as he looked coldly at Chu Mo, "Young man, do you know who I am? My name is Prince Ji!"
Chu Mo replied indifferently, "Who you are has no bearing on me. I don't want to fight with you either. Alright then, don't be so paranoid thinking I'm going to bully you. I'm leaving."
With that said, he turned around and left.
Prince Ji, with a darkened face, wanted to chase after Chu Mo, but found that the time in the whole void area... was still frozen!
Even attempting to move slightly was extremely difficult for him!
A chill ran through Prince Ji's heart. He realized he had encountered a true powerhouse. His anger at having the gray bat snatched away dissipated significantly. He sensed that this person had the strength of those ranked in the Heavenly Ranking, but why did he seem so unfamiliar?
"Friend, would you dare to leave your name?" Prince Ji asked coldly. Despite his apprehension, he was reluctant to let the matter rest.
"Give it up, you are no match for me. It might be meaningful for Ji Qi to come, but for you, not so much." Chu Mo's figure receded into the distance and soon vanished into the vast cosmic void.
Prince Ji's face turned the color of iron. The loss he suffered today was neither huge nor small, but it was a great blow to his pride!
After all, the person had known all along who he was and even mentioned the name Ji Qi. Any Heavenly Genius in the Trial Field would know who Ji Qi was. That was a top Heavenly Genius ranked within the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking.
Although only ranked eighth, no one doubted his strength.
In fact, the ranking in the Heavenly Ranking, as long as one could make it into the top ten, the disparity in combat strength between them is generally not too vast.
For example, the disparity between Jiang Caiyue, who is ranked tenth, and Zhang Yalu, who is sixth, isn't particularly stark. In fact, if it came down to a fight to the death, it's hard to say who would win or lose.
Unless it's on the level of Zi Dao, who has become a Quasi-Saint, the gap would start to widen.
At the Supreme Realm, anyone could potentially be victorious.
Prince Ji could only watch in anger as his spoils of the battle were taken away by someone else, without being able to do a thing about it. Only after the figure had disappeared completely, did the force of time and space dissipate.
Bang!
The disposable dharma instrument, the Imperial Seal, could no longer hold up and finally burst apart with a bang.
"You don't tell me who you are, do you think I can't find out? Sooner or later, I will drag you out!" Prince Ji ground his teeth, furious.
Chu Mo, on the other hand, left coolly and at ease. If it weren't for the fear of revealing his identity, he would have really liked to beat up Prince Ji—just for the defaming words that had been spoken about his mother, Ji Qingyu, killing him wouldn't have been too much.
However, not everyone in the Luotian Imperial Clan stood with Prince Ji and his group. This included the respected Nineteenth Royal Uncle Saint and the unknown being who saved him with an imperial seal in that mysterious world. Therefore, Chu Mo's feelings towards the entire Luotian Imperial Clan were quite complex.
After considering it over and over, he still decided not to touch Prince Ji. One day, when he has completely figured out the relationships within the Luotian Imperial Clan, and has definite news of his mother, he will consider how to treat them.
Along the way, Chu Mo encountered several beings of the Supreme Realm, each of them extremely powerful, some even possessing combat abilities close to those of the supreme human cultivators. However, none of them stood much of a chance against Chu Mo.
They were quickly dispatched by Chu Mo and their bodies collected.
Without saying much, just the bodies of these Supreme Realm beings stored in Chu Mo's spatial ring could be used to forge a large number of dharma instruments and elixirs, their flesh a priceless and nourishing delicacy.
The Trial Field, though terrifying and cruel, really is a treasure ground!
In the following days, Chu Mo continued to comprehend the Dao and consolidate his realm. At the same time, he was also relearning the Supreme Arts that he had acquired before.
Two months later, Chu Mo arrived above a vast cliff, beneath which was a roaring, mighty river. The torrential river water radiated a biting chill.
Standing at the edge of the cliff, Chu Mo gazed into the distance; the opposite side featured similarly steep cliffs, and even further was an endless expanse of plain.
There, Chu Mo retrieved the Windwalker from the Sky Mirror World, which had been sealed all this time. After pondering for a while, he unsealed the Windwalker.
Opening his eyes in confusion, the Windwalker, upon seeing Chu Mo, was first startled and then, looking at the unfamiliar face, asked, "Who are you?"
Chu Mo smiled: "I am a friend of Chu Mo."
The Windwalker was speechless for a moment, then after thinking, asked: "Where is Young Master Chu?"
"He's fine, just not here," Chu Mo replied indifferently.
Even a saint couldn't see through Chu Mo, let alone the Windwalker, who was of the Quasi-Supreme level. Although filled with doubts, the Windwalker never associated the youth before him with Chu Mo.
He looked at Chu Mo and asked, "How many years have passed?"
Upon learning that only a few decades had passed, the Windwalker's expression was extraordinarily rich, staring at Chu Mo in disbelief: "Are you a supreme being?"
Chu Mo nodded his head.
The corners of the Windwalker's mouth twitched, thinking when did Yanhuang become home to such a young supreme being? Then he shifted his gaze to his surroundings: "What… is this place?"
Chu Mo explained: "This is a place far from the Yanhuang territory. He entrusted you to me, asking me to save you."
"Is that so? Young Master Chu... is a righteous man. It's a pity that I... alas." The Windwalker heaved a deep sigh and then asked, "How's the Yanhuang territory? Did the Demon Clan breach it?"
"The Demon Clan invaded the Yanhuang territory, but... they did not succeed. So, rest assured, your homeland remains," Chu Mo said.
Upon hearing this, happiness immediately spread across the Windwalker's face as he said, "That is good, that is very good. If something were to go wrong with Yanhuang territory, I would be deemed a sinner for ten thousand ages."
"I already understand your situation. I can now help you remove the demon brand within your body," Chu Mo told the Windwalker. "This place is cruel but also marvelous..."
As Chu Mo spoke, he took action and directly removed the demon brand from the Windwalker's body.
Some things seem insurmountably difficult until one reaches a certain level; looking back from that realm, they are not so troublesome after all.
The entire Demon Clan's seal, laid by the Great Demon Lord, might still be indecipherable by Chu Mo now. But the rest of those Demon Clan's seals seemed trivial before the boundless Chu Mo. Especially the one who had sealed the Windwalker, who might well have fallen in that battle at the Yanhuang territory.
So, it was effortless for Chu Mo to break the Windwalker's seal.
The Windwalker solemnly knelt and thanked Chu Mo profusely for the enormous favor, akin to a rebirth.
Chu Mo asked him to rise and explained the rules of the Trial Field to him before saying, "The Yanhuang territory is still under seal. Chu Mo entrusted you to me, not just wishing that I help you break the seal, but also hoping that you can take the next step. Then return to defend Yanhuang territory. Would you be willing to do this?"
"Willing, of course, I am willing! I could never dream of coming to such a magical place," the Windwalker exclaimed ecstatically. As for the place being cruel and full of dangers... he didn't care at all; he was unafraid of even becoming a devil, what could he possibly be afraid to do?
"That's good. For now, follow me. Later, find a city and cultivate there. When you reach the Supreme Realm, you can return to the Yanhuang territory and guard it for ten thousand years. Consider it repaying Chu Mo," Chu Mo said, looking in the Windwalker's eyes earnestly.
"I promise!" The Windwalker took a serious oath with his primordial spirit and then said, "The Yanhuang territory is also my hometown, my homeland; this doesn't even count as repaying Young Master Chu. By the way... where is Young Master Chu? Where did he go?"
Chu Mo smiled faintly and said softly, "He's... gone to a very distant place. Perhaps, one day, you will meet him."
The Windwalker looked somewhat puzzled but still nodded and said, "I truly hope to see him and thank him in person."
"You will have the chance," Chu Mo said.
