Finally, the agreed time arrived, and a large number of cultivators all flooded into this region.

Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng, who had not participated in the Royal Clan's banquet, sighed in relief upon seeing Chu Mo vibrant with essence energy and spirit.

Liu Yunfeng looked at Chu Mo and earnestly cautioned, "Third Brother, be careful."

The Bald Chef and Lin Xiu also looked at Chu Mo with concern. The Bald Chef said, "You must defeat that guy!"

Zi Dao transmitted a message to Chu Mo, "I have a feeling that Zhong Sheng might attempt to break through to the Saint Realm during your battle. If he shows signs of triggering the Saint Tribulation, you must dodge at all costs."

"The Saint Tribulation?" Chu Mo chuckled, saying nothing more. Deep down, he actually wished for Zhong Sheng to do so because his Thunderbolt Path feared nothing more than the various Heavenly Tribulations!

If Zhong Sheng did not do so it would be fine, but if he did, it would only serve to refine Chu Mo's Thunderbolt Path even further.

The party arrived at the entrance to the small world established by the Jiang Family, and there they coincidentally met the group from the Zhong Family who had also just arrived.

As soon as they met, the atmosphere instantly tensed.

A young disciple from the Zhong Family, his eyes blood-red, stared at Chu Mo with venomous hatred and gritted his teeth, "Are you Chu Mo? Did you kill Zhong Yun?"

Chu Mo didn't even glance at him, simply walking towards the arena's small world.

"You're courting death..." The Zhong Family disciple, not expecting to be ignored by Chu Mo, was immediately enraged and slapped violently towards Chu Mo.

"Do you want to die?" Prince Ji bellowed, ready to intervene.

This short-tempered and proud scion of the Imperial Clan kept saying he didn't like Chu Mo, and in his heart, he truly felt that way. But he wouldn't allow anyone to humiliate a person related to the Imperial Clan! He might look down on him, dislike him, or even bully him, but... others could not!

But someone was quicker than him!

A figure appeared instantly before the Zhong Family group and struck out with a hand.

About three or four members from the Zhong Family acted at the same time.

Boom!

An explosion instantly resounded at the entrance of the small world arena.

The figure didn't budge, while the group from the Zhong Family was sent toppling. A deep voice then came from the Zhong side: "Jiang Peng, what is the meaning of this? Is the Zhong Family bereft of people?"

"Zhong Cheng, the Jiang Family has always maintained neutrality, and this time we are the hosts of the arena. Your indulgence of the Zi Family disciples' misbehavior here shows the Zhong Family lacks discipline, while the Jiang Family has its rules!" This voice was resonant, countering Great Saint Zhong Cheng directly.

The few who had just been struck by the members of the Zhong Family all climbed up from the ground, their faces covered in dirt. Though uninjured, their expressions were extremely unsightly.

Zhong Cheng hadn't acted, but he hadn't stopped his family member from attacking Chu Mo either, which did put him in the wrong somewhat. He hadn't anticipated the Jiang Family taking action, and this was beyond his expectations. As for what Jiang Peng said about the Jiang Family consistently maintaining neutrality, Zhong Cheng simply sneered inwardly. He thought, 'Your butt is almost sitting in the lap of the Luotian Royal Clan, yet you still speak of neutrality?' But such words remained unsaid, only swirling in his mind.

He could only snort coldly, brush his sleeves, and head into the small world arena first.

Zhong Sheng looked at Chu Mo with chilling murderous intent in his eyes.

Chu Mo, however, smiled back, his face beaming like a spring breeze, then stretched out his hand and made a throat-slitting gesture across his neck.

Zhong Sheng's face turned dark green with ugliness, and he turned and entered the small world arena.

After that, Chu Mo directly approached Jiang Peng, who had just acted, and gave a fist-and-palm salute, "I thank the elder for your righteous action."

Jiang Peng was a refined middle-aged man around forty, with a beard one foot long, wearing a green Taoist robe, and smiling benignly he waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's nothing!" He then looked towards Jiang Caiyue and Chu Tianji who were coming over and smiled slightly, "Lady Jiang, long time no see!"

"So it is Brother Jiang Peng. Thank you for intervening just now." Ji Qingyu exchanged pleasantries with Jiang Peng, and it was clear they were quite familiar with each other. Afterward, Ji Qingyu introduced Chu Tianji to Jiang Peng.

Chu Mo and Zi Dao, Liu Yunfeng, and the others were the first to enter the small world arena.

Upon entering, there was a feeling of sudden enlightenment. It was as if they were standing on an enormous basin, stretching as far as the eye could see, covering millions of miles in diameter. The basin sloped like a terrace, serving as a grandstand, while the few million miles of open space in the middle formed the arena.

Standing at the edge of the basin, one could clearly feel a strong fluctuation of power between the arena and the grandstand. There must be a powerful array at work there!

At this moment, Jiang Caiyue, accompanied by Ye Qing and the witch Zhenzhen, approached and saw Chu Mo. She asked with a smile, "How do you like the arena? Are you satisfied?"

Chu Mo observed and responded, "This array... is quite good!"

"Hehe, I knew you would notice," Jiang Caiyue said with a happy smile, then added, "This array is a top-tier array passed down by the Jiang Family. It hasn't been activated yet, but once it is, not even supreme beings could easily destroy it!"

As Jiang Caiyue spoke, her bright eyes shone with a gleaming light, and she said cheerfully, "The Jiang Family maintains a neutral stance and will do our best to provide all necessary services."

She didn't transmit her voice secretly but said this openly, causing many who heard it to roll their eyes inwardly. They thought, can the Jiang Family really be neutral? But one could hardly argue otherwise, for up to now, the Jiang Family hadn't publicly declared their allegiance to the Luotian Imperial Clan, nor had they dispatched troops to assist them. Even privately, aside from a princess of the Jiang Family who seemed quite close to Chu Mo, there was nothing else.

After realizing this, many were speechless. It was a clear-cut matter, yet there was nothing concrete to fault. The Jiang Family's way of doing things was indeed very clever.

Subsequently, Zi Dao, Liu Yunfeng, the bald chef, Lin Xiu, and the rest, along with the people from the Luotian Imperial Clan, were led by a special guide to a dedicated sector for the Luotian Imperial Clan. Chu Mo, under the guidance of Jiang Caiyue, started to make his way towards the preparation area.

On the way, Jiang Caiyue transmitted a message to Chu Mo: "Be careful. The Zhong Family has profound resources. Don't think Zhong Sheng's performance in the Trial Field, consistently being overshadowed by Zi Dao, tells the whole story. In the Trial Field, cultivators without deep roots desperately push forward, but those with profound resources are often low-key and forbearing, not using their full potential there. Even Xue Wulei, who you've seriously injured, would have a much easier time ascending to sainthood, should he wish to."

"Do you mean it's very likely that Zhong Sheng might undergo tribulation and become a saint during our battle?" Chu Mo remembered Zi Dao's warning and asked Jiang Caiyue.

After pondering a moment, Jiang Caiyue replied, "Yes, it's quite possible. If it had been before the intervention of both the Jiang Family and the Luotian Imperial Clan, maybe not, because ascending during battle adds a degree of danger. They would most likely resort to devious moves in the dark—that's a typical tactic of the Zhong Family. But now, with the Jiang Family and your Imperial Clan involved, even if the Zhong Family is shameless, they likely wouldn't dare to meddle in the shadows. And even if they did wish to, they'd first have to overcome the arrays set by our Jiang Family!"

There was a hint of pride on Jiang Caiyue's face as she continued, "Moreover, this time, the Emperor himself might come here! Even if the Zhong Family and the Luotian Imperial Clan fell out with each other, they wouldn't dare to act recklessly in front of the Emperor, who controls Luotian's qi movement!"

Chu Mo nodded, "Don't worry. Even if Zhong Sheng really does undergo tribulation during the battle, I'm not afraid."

Jiang Caiyue looked at Chu Mo and said, "If someone else at your level said this, I wouldn't believe it. But coming from you, I find it highly credible!"

"Hahahaha," Chu Mo laughed heartily, then said, "Then let's just wait and enjoy the show!"

Jiang Caiyue's eyes lit up with a brilliant glow as she nodded with a smile.

Then, Chu Mo began his preparations.

At that time, a large number of cultivators began to flood into the arena. Among them were many Heavenly Geniuses from the Seven Great Domains, who entered this world for the first time through the Immortal Domain's entrance in the Trial Field, all to witness this epoch-making battle!

What interested them most was not the battle between Chu Mo and Zhong Sheng but the one that would follow theirs!

Although Zhong Cheng had declared that he would suppress his realm to the Saint Realm, he was ultimately a Great Saint. Besides, how many young cultivators of this generation have truly witnessed a battle between saints? In each of the Seven Great Domains below, at most only one or two saints could emerge. Even the young cultivators of the Luotian Immortal Domain barely had the chance to witness a battle of saints.

Observing the young Heavenly Geniuses who kept pouring in, Chu Mo was filled with a strong sense of longing. In the vast universe of Luotian, besides the Luotian Immortal Domain, there should have been a total of eight great domains. Now, the prodigies from the Seven Great Domains had all arrived here, with only the young geniuses from the Yanhuang Domain missing.

Is it really because the geniuses from the Yanhuang Domain lack talent, making them unworthy of being here? No!

If not for that seal, cultivators from the Yanhuang Domain would have also emerged as dazzling talents. Take the Drifting Empress for example... If she had been born in any other domain, not necessarily even needing to be in the Luotian Immortal Domain, she would have probably reached the Great Saint Realm by now!

And those Heavenly Geniuses and young nobility of her generation should all be cultivators of the Supreme Realm by now.

Damn the seal!

"One day, I will smash you to smithereens myself!" Chu Mo swore through gritted teeth, "And furthermore, I will build a Tunnel directly from the Yanhuang Domain to the Trial Field, allowing the prodigies of the Yanhuang Domain to endure the harshest trials, and push their full potential..."

At this moment, Chu Mo didn't know that the seal which had isolated the Yanhuang Domain for countless years had already been shattered by a monkey with his staff. He was even more unaware that his master, the Demon Lord, along with his follower Luo Jue, and the group led by Yiyi had already left the Yanhuang Domain.
