Subsequently, Chu Mo activated Jiang Caiyue's spiritual energy on the transmission stone.
"You're quite something, silently pulling off such an earth-shattering feat, killing a Holy Being. At the Supreme Realm level, I have heard of only two others who have achieved what you have. You're really impressive!"
From the other side of the transmission stone, Jiang Caiyue's mental fluctuations were filled with amazement.
In fact, communicating through mental power can express emotions far beyond what language can convey, richer and more genuine.
Chu Mo flatly denied, "What a joke? Kill a Holy Being? Why don't you say I can kill a Great Saint while you're at it?"
"Hehe, I wouldn't be surprised if you chopped down a Great Saint one day," Jiang Caiyue's giggling thoughts came through.
"..." Chu Mo was left speechless, bitterly smiling as he transmitted his thoughts, "Where does all this confidence in me come from?"
"Intuition! Haven't you heard that a woman's intuition is very powerful?"
"Please, you're a cultivator! And you believe in intuition?"
"Why not believe?"
Chu Mo was exasperated, replying, "What did you want to talk about?"
"Do you want to join the Jiang Family? I can make the decisions and I can offer you a status and position that will definitely satisfy you. From now on, the Jiang Family will protect you in everything. The Haoyue Sect or any other minor sect pales in comparison to the colossal Jiang Family, they can't even stir up a ripple. I can send someone to annihilate the entire Haoyue Sect, so you and your brothers will never have to worry again."
Jiang Caiyue made no secret of her admiration for Chu Mo: "You are a true Heavenly Genius. You should understand, coming from me, this means something different than from anyone else. In my eyes, a Heavenly Genius is someone who will have no issues advancing to the Great Saint Realm in the future."
Chu Mo remained silent, offering no response.
Jiang Caiyue continued, "But you should also understand that every Heavenly Genius has a growth process, and not all of them successfully grow up. There are countless examples of falls along the way, causing deep regret. But the reason is almost always the same—the power behind them is not strong enough! Seriously, Liu Yunfeng and Zi Dao are with you now, right? You can ask them whether what I say is true. Zi Dao, despite having ancient clans like the Zhao Family and families like the Zi Family, which are not inferior to the Jiang Family, certainly has his problems, which I believe he has shared with you. You are brothers... right?"
Chu Mo continued to remain silent, not answering.
Jiang Caiyue seemed not to mind this and spoke on: "As for Liu Yunfeng, it's true that he has a renowned reputation in the Trial Field, but it's not because of the Haoyue Sect. Such a sect might have some status in the minds of the cultivators from the Seven Great Domains, but to those from the Luotian Immortal Domain, it counts for very little. Does he admit that? Because in the Luotian Immortal Domain, even a slightly substantial family might have at least one Great Saint behind them. But the entire Haoyue Sect had just one, and you've chopped him down."
"..." Chu Mo curled his lips but couldn't deny that Jiang Caiyue made a lot of sense; not only was this woman smart, but her understanding of human nature was also incredibly strong.
"Therefore, you three brothers might seem able to traverse the entire Trial Field for now, but honestly, the Trial Field really isn't all that significant. It's just a place for young geniuses to train. When you become a Holy Being, you will ultimately have to make a choice. Whether to enter the Seven Great Domains or the Luotian Immortal Domain. In the Seven Great Domains, you might be able to reign supreme, but what's the point? Being a king in a small pond is not as good as swimming freely in the ocean. Right?" Jiang Caiyue's spiritual thoughts were filled with sincerity.
Chu Mo nodded slightly, "You make a good point."
"Mhm, that's the current situation around you. Zi Dao is stubborn, I can't recruit him. But he definitely doesn't want to return to the Zhao Family, because his enemy is there." Jiang Caiyue, hailing from the Luotian Immortal Domain, knew many secrets and didn't conceal any from Chu Mo: "As for the Zi Family... their attitude towards him is also very subtle. Anyway, even if he eventually enters the Zi Family, he will not represent the Zi Family to recruit you and Liu Yunfeng. The Zi Family might be willing, but Zi Dao probably won't be. And there is no need to mention Liu Yunfeng, since he has completely broken with his sect and has to stay away from the Tian Gang Domain. Chu Mo, I can promise on behalf of the Jiang Family, you will not be let down if you join us! And if Liu Yunfeng can come along, that would be even better! The Jiang Family is willing to offer all resources and... protection for a true Heavenly Genius!"
After finishing, Jiang Caiyue's spiritual thoughts finally paused, seemingly waiting for Chu Mo's response.
Chu Mo first expressed his gratitude for Jiang Caiyue's high regard for him, "Honestly, being valued like this really touches me, and I'm happy..."
"Lin Hei, before you hurry to reject me, seriously, think about it. In the entire Luotian Immortal Domain, no one else can offer the same terms as the Jiang Family, I can assure you that! Even the Imperial Clan wouldn't offer such terms! And Chu Mo, this isn't just my personal recruitment, this is from the Jiang Family!" Jiang Caiyue felt Chu Mo might be inclining to a refusal and quickly interjected.
"Jiang Daoist friend, I'm not rejecting you, but there are some things I currently can't explain. With you being so sincere, if I don't say anything, it would make me seem pretentious. So here's the deal, give me one year. Give yourself one year too. How about that? One year is short, right? It will pass quickly. If after a year, you still think the way you do now and are interested in me, I will seriously consider it," said Chu Mo.
"One year?" Jiang Caiyue seemed puzzled; she couldn't understand what Lin Hei meant by this one year. Indeed, one year is not a long time. If you don't use special divine abilities, relying solely on your own strength to travel, in a year, you couldn't even travel far in the Trial Field!
"Yes, one year," Chu Mo affirmed decisively.
"Alright then, I believe you are a man of your word. One year it is." Jiang Caiyue was straightforward in her response, neither pursuing relentlessly nor pestering annoyingly. It was one thing to be optimistic about Chu Mo's future, but she was smart enough to know when to stop, and at the same time, she possessed her own pride deep down.
After switching off the transmission stone, Chu Mo briefly explained the situation, leaving Lin Xiu and the bald chef looking perplexed, as they were not even clear on who Jiang Caiyue was. However, Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng were both shocked.
Liu Yunfeng said with a wry smile, "If Third Brother wasn't rejected because of his identity... the Jiang Family would truly be an excellent choice."
"Actually, I think that even considering Third Brother's identity, the Jiang Family... is still a good choice," Zi Dao seriously suggested.
"Why? Doing this, isn't it tantamount to dragging the Jiang Family down with us?" Liu Yunfeng was somewhat puzzled as he looked at Zi Dao. "Our brotherhood should not be capable of doing such a thing, right?"
Zi Dao looked at Liu Yunfeng and said, "Second Brother, have you forgotten about our senior, the Monkey?"
"Hm?" Liu Yunfeng frowned.
Zi Dao explained, "Firstly, the Jiang Family is not some pushover that anyone can just threaten and bully. Secondly, since the Monkey senior has appeared, I think some people will definitely restrain themselves. So, if Third Brother really joins the Jiang Family, it could indeed be an option."
After some thought, Liu Yunfeng nodded, "It seems there's some reason to that, but... joining the Jiang Family now would be somewhat improper."
Zi Dao nodded, "So, it's up to Third Brother to make the choice."
Without hesitation, Chu Mo shook his head, "I have slashed a Great Saint of the Haoyue Sect; this matter will sooner or later spread to the Luotian Immortal Domain. A supreme cutting down another supreme. It's definitely not possible relying on cultivation realm alone. Thus, it must be the power of the blade. My blade... is too infamous in the Luotian Immortal Domain. The higher the status, the more likely they are to know of my blade. Therefore, unless something unexpected happens, it won't be long before my identity is exposed. I reckon we'll soon be heading back to the Dead Leaf Forbidden Zone, or maybe the Black Rain Forbidden Zone or the Yellowstone Forbidden Zone."
"..." Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng were left speechless.
But upon reflection, it was true that the most terrifying places in the Trial Field had become the safest havens for them, although this was only limited to the Dead Leaf Forbidden Zone. Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng did not believe that Chu Mo could lead them to rampage through the Black Rain Forbidden Zone and the Yellowstone Forbidden Zone.
"Once my identity is exposed, would the Jiang Family still dare to keep their promise to me as they do now?" Chu Mo looked at his two brothers, "It's quite possible that they might not even take action against me, and that would already be showing mercy beyond the law."
"Ah... that damned prophecy, it's truly frustrating. When will I be able to wield my blade freely across the skies, chopping down anyone who dares to provoke with a single slash!" Liu Yunfeng sighed.
Chu Mo smiled, "Don't rush, I believe that day will not be too far away."
The bald chef eventually put on a mask, a clown's mask, which looked far more pleasing than before. He had no complaints about their current situation. Being able to enter the Trial Field for so long and remaining safe was already a tremendous gift from heaven.
Perhaps due to his appearance, the bald chef had a very positive attitude. He felt that everything in the world was beautiful, and being alive was a happiness in itself. He even refused to reveal his real name to Chu Mo and the others, asking them to simply call him 'Baldy'.
"Really, I am a baldy, and I don't feel insulted when you call me that. I find it endearing because I know you don't look down on me."
Lin Xiu was full of curiosity about this world. But she was a sensible girl, never asking more than she should. Wherever she went, whatever they did, and however it was done, she almost always followed Liu Yunfeng's suggestions and showed considerable respect towards Chu Mo and Zi Dao. Yet, she was not just a pretty vase; in fact, she had her own independent thoughts and understanding on many matters, simply lacking experience for the time being. Given time, she would surely grow.
The three brothers, Chu Mo included, quickly decided to return to the Dead Leaf Forbidden Zone!
And there, they would practice cultivation!
They would discuss leaving only when they had reached the Holy Realm!
They also agreed that after reaching the Holy Realm, the first thing they would do was take a trip to the Tian Gang Domain.
Although the Haoyue Sect had already suffered a serious blow, those who really deserved to die were still alive.
That vengeance, needed to be avenged.
