After hearing their explanations, Chu Mo was speechless, his head full of black lines as he looked at the two of them: "You two are the top young Heavenly Geniuses in the entire Luotian cosmos, do you really have to go this far?"

"Men become brothers, often a single glance is enough!" Zi Dao said.

Liu Yunfeng urged Chu Mo, "Hurry up and tell your story to scare us!"

Zi Dao nodded his head, "Yes, my biggest goal in life is to kill that old thing. I didn't expect your sworn enemy to be more terrifying than mine. Having a Great Saint at the pinnacle as one's enemy is already thrilling. Anyway, once he detects my thoughts, I'm certain to die. So, since it's all the same in the end, might as well have a few more impressive enemies."

Liu Yunfeng said, "Although I don't have such a terrifying enemy, I feel like my life doesn't have much meaning. I can't find any trace of my parents, and the path to enlightenment is so arduous. Perhaps, this could be an opportunity for me. Having such formidable enemies can also inspire me at all times! So, come on, spill it. Scare us to death! I, Liu Yunfeng, swear by my primordial spirit, I will not reveal a single word of today's events. I will never do anything to betray a brother!"

"I, Zi Dao, swear by my primordial spirit and by my deceased parents, I will never utter half a word about what happened here today. I will never do anything to betray a brother!"

Chu Mo's head was full of black lines, thinking to himself: God... they've even sworn oaths now. This is really committing to a path of no return.

"Hurry up, this scroll can last for only an hour..." Zi Dao urged.

Half an hour later, Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng sat there with a dazed look, twitching at the corner of their mouths. The shock on their faces, if seen by others, would definitely be disbelieved to be expressions coming from them.

It was utter despair!

Liu Yunfeng swallowed hard, then carefully glanced at Chu Mo and revealed an extremely ugly smile: "I finally understand now why you were expressionless when we were comparing our miseries."

Zi Dao also came to his senses, with a bitter expression on his face, "I always thought that the Yanhuang Domain was sealed because of your mother's timeless love with your father, but now I realize I was too naive!"

"That prophecy... I've heard a little about it before, I always thought it was a lie." Liu Yunfeng said.

Zi Dao nodded, "I also thought it was a lie."

"So that means, in the future, the three of us brothers will face not only hostility from some people in the Luotian Imperial Clan but also... those supreme beings?" Liu Yunfeng's facial muscles stiffened, he tried to smile but couldn't.

That kind of pressure, it becomes acutely tangible only when one gets directly involved.

"The good news is that those supreme beings must have suffered backlash from their actions against the former emperor of the Imperial Clan, and are now in a state of recuperation. I can say with certainty that they won't appear in the world for the next few hundred years, if not longer." Zi Dao said.

Liu Yunfeng replied, "But the problem is, there's still a bunch of Great Saints! Which progeny of those supreme beings doesn't have a few Great Saints among them?"

Zi Dao pondered, then suddenly said, "Speaking of Great Saints, I do know one; if we could persuade him to exit his seclusion, then... all other Great Saints would be nothing but dust before him!"

"There's such a being? Supreme?" Liu Yunfeng looked at Zi Dao.

Zi Dao shook his head, "No, he's also a Great Saint. Moreover, I think he is still being suppressed right now."

"..." Liu Yunfeng had a head full of black lines as he looked at Zi Dao, "Are you joking?"

Zi Dao said indifferently, "Have you ever heard the story of a monkey?"

Liu Yunfeng looked confused.

However, Chu Mo recalled something and asked, "Are you talking about... that monkey suppressed by the Buddhist sect?"

"You know about it?" Zi Dao's eyes brightened.

Chu Mo shook his head, "I know very little, I only heard someone mention it briefly back in the day."

"I envy you for possessing both Buddhist and Taoist divine abilities. Moreover, you've carved a completely unique path for yourself, do you know how many people envy you?" Zi Dao said as he looked at Chu Mo with admiration.

Chu Mo bitterly smiled, "Does my experience seem pleasant to you?"

"We really haven't experienced the mortal realm, but indeed, having loved ones killed is not pleasant." Liu Yunfeng sighed, "After listening to Brother Zi Dao's story, I thought he had the most tragic life, only to realize now, it's you."

Chu Mo had just shared almost his entire life story with them. If they were to become brothers, they needed to be honest with each other. Although Liu Yunfeng's initial suggestion of swearing brotherhood seemed far-fetched, after their exchanges, they began to feel an increasing sense of closeness.

It was a kind of spiritual resonance, for each of them had similar experiences. Likewise, the compatibility and resonance in their characters and sentiments also brought them closer.

Thus, by now, all three of them had come to regard each other as brothers.

At this moment, Zi Dao said, "That monkey, I know where it's being held. It's right here in the Trial Field!"

"What?" Chu Mo and Liu Yunfeng were both slightly surprised, not expectant that a Great Saint was being suppressed within the Trial Field.

"That monkey caused a great ruckus in the Luotian Immortal Domain, nearly overturning it. At that time, most of those supreme beings already had their own issues and no one intervened. The monkey was left to wreak havoc and slaughter at will. In the end, a Great Buddha of the ancestral realm from the Buddhist sect, who was about to pass away, could no longer stand by and suppressed the monkey." Zi Dao explained, "After so many years, I assume that monkey's ferociousness should have dissipated. But these things are uncertain. If it is still as defiant as before, we might release it only to be killed by its first strike..."

"Well, let's forget about it then. Right now, we don't need its help anyway." Liu Yunfeng's face conveyed fear.

Provoking a top-tier Great Saint was practically equivalent to courting death for the three of them.

Chu Mo revealed a thoughtful expression and said, "If we can let it out, we could stir up some trouble over there..."

Zi Dao's face lit up with joy: "You really get me!"

"Where is it?" Chu Mo asked.

"In one of the three forbidden lands," Zi Dao responded.

Liu Yunfeng looked at them both anxiously: "Hey, you two..."

Chu Mo waved his hand: "Relax, it's not as scary as you think."

Zi Dao nodded: "Exactly, it's not that scary, don't worry."

Liu Yunfeng thought about the enemies of these two guys and suddenly fell silent, thinking that made sense. Any enemy of either one of them would be more terrifying than this monkey. Not to mention Chu Mo, let's just talk about Zi Dao — is his enemy really just one uncle?

"The forbidden land... that's a bit difficult, but if we study it properly, it's not necessarily impossible," Chu Mo said.

Zi Dao nodded: "Right, let's swear brotherhood! Should we do it by age or cultivation rank? If we go by age, I am one hundred seventy-six years old. If we go by cultivation rank, I am temporarily the highest!" He said, baring his teeth in a grin at the other two.

Liu Yunfeng twitched his lips: "If we do it by age, I am one hundred thirty-five years old this year, and in terms of cultivation rank, I am currently at the peak of supreme, so I should be second."

Chu Mo looked at the two speechlessly: "Then what's there to rank? Zi Dao is the eldest brother, Yunfeng is the second brother, and I'm the third brother..."

"How old are you?" Zi Dao asked.

Liu Yunfeng was also curious, clearly caring about this matter.

Because according to what Chu Mo just shared of his experiences, he didn't seem to be very old. His experiences were rich, fraught with hardship, and full of twists and turns. But they all felt Chu Mo must be quite young.

Chu Mo glanced at the two of them: "Do you really want to know?"

"Go ahead, it's not like you haven't scared us half to death before," Liu Yunfeng said expressionlessly.

"Uh..." Chu Mo scratched his head: "I don't quite remember my exact age, but it should be... under sixty years old, right? This age is already quite old, in the mortal realm at this age, one could already be a grandfather..."

"Second Brother, I want to beat him up," Zi Dao said with a defeated look, cutting off Chu Mo's words.

"Eldest Brother, I also want to beat him up," said Liu Yunfeng with the same sense of dejection.

These two top Heavenly Ranking warriors of the Trial Field, supreme geniuses, were indeed completely provoked.

They never doubted their own talents, to reach this realm at their age, it's one in a trillion!

All along, those they met, such as the second on the Heavenly Ranking Zhong Sheng, the third Wu Fei, the fourth Du Chuan, these people were probably around two hundred years old. That is to say, their cultivation years were roughly two hundred.

Like the current fifth on the Heavenly Ranking, Hu Xiao who is said to be very young, but is also over one hundred years old.

The sixth on the Heavenly Ranking, Zhang Yalu, is also over a hundred years old.

In the entire Trial Field, these young supreme cultivators, known as unrivalled Heavenly Geniuses, the youngest are almost never under one hundred years old!

To reach enlightenment at a hundred years old is an astoundingly impressive achievement; even the top geniuses with the best talents can hardly do so.

But this guy in front of them, not yet sixty, had already reached enlightenment.

And, that's after him having spent several decades wasted in the Yanhuang Domain due to the battle with the Demon Clan. If he had been born in one of the other Seven Great Domains, or in the Luotian Immortal Domain, and had an endless supply of resources from a young age.

Then, by today, at sixty years old, would he have become a Holy Realm cultivator?

That, nobody could say for sure!

Anyway, these two had no doubt that Chu Mo had the chance to break into the Holy Realm before he reached a hundred years old.

Afterward, the three knelt on the ground for the remaining time of an incense stick on the scroll left by Zi Dao's parents, solemnly swearing oaths, and became sworn brothers of different surnames.

They didn't place an incense burner because they dared not announce this to the heavens, as doing so would immediately inform the supreme beings that now partially govern Heaven's Will. The three of them also felt there was no need to declare it to the world.

One lifetime, two brothers; as long as they recognized each other in their hearts, that was enough.
