Chu Mo gazed pensively at the departing figure of Shangguan Nan, a faint hint of mockery playing at the corners of his lips.

He was never known to be lenient with his enemies.

He remembered distinctly how Shangguan Nan had treated him in the past. He knew full well if he had revealed himself as Chu Mo, Shangguan Nan would definitely not let him off lightly.

His adversary's thirst for revenge was hardly small.

In that case, well, he can't really blame me for playing him.

Once Chu Mo had collected the materials left by Shangguan Nan and the materials Lingdan Hall requested to be made into elixirs, he promptly walked away.

Back at the inn, Chu Mo wasted no time in invoking the Chaos Furnace, querying it on an issue.

"Is it possible to insert a backdoor in the Breaking Boundary Pill, so that we can track its user?"

Soon, a surge of spiritual energy issued a response to Chu Mo.

"Yes... One can do so by refining a Mother-Child Breakthrough Pill! Keep the Mother Pill and gift the Child Pill, and you can track the recipient's location within 100,000 miles."

A look of delight spread across Chu Mo's face.

He wanted to ascertain Shangguan Nan's true intentions.

The Human Layer within the Illusory God Realm was vast and boundless, teeming with countless unexplored corners brimming with life.

Certain areas were particularly perilous and unfit for cultivation by anyone below the Golden Immortal realm. Yet paradoxically, once one achieved the Golden Immortal state, they had to progress to the Earth Layer...

Although Emperors could transcend some rules, shuttling between the human and divine realms, they couldn't venture into those perilous areas either.

For they were too advanced!

The only people who could enter those places were those beneath the Emperor stage.

Such were the rules of the Illusory God Realm.

Rules that countless individuals found incredibly frustrating.

Shangguan Nan had provided sufficient materials for a hundred perfect Breaking Boundary Pills.

Alas, this was quite an excessive asking only for someone on the level of Chu Mo, other alchemists, on the other hand, would find it quite intimidating.

Perfect grade Breaking Boundary Pills were rare, with a success rate of less than one percent. This was normal, even Master Alchemists couldn't guarantee success.

For Chu Mo, however, Shangguan Nan appeared exceedingly generous!

The Chaos Furnace had yet to disappoint Chu Mo.

While he currently was unable to concoct celestial or heavenly grade elixirs, he could produce perfect quality elixirs flawlessly just with the help of Chaos Furnace.

To be on the safe side, Chu Mo first concocted a set of Mother-Child Breakthrough Pills. Looking at the two pills radiating a cold metallic aura, he couldn't help but marvel inwardly: The world of elixirs was indeed profound and endless, he had never thought that one could manipulate elixirs in so many ways.

Afterwards, Chu Mo kept those two pills safe and proceeded to refine the remaining materials into one hundred and thirty Breaking Boundary Pills.

Yes, he once again exceeded the original quantity!

Then, he took a breath and managed to finish refining the elixirs needed by Lingdan Hall.

After storing all the elixirs systematically, Chu Mo decided to make a trip to the Illusory God Lake, hoping to obtain the Five Elements Water from the lake.

...…

Several young cultivators were standing above Illusory God Lake. The men were heroic-looking while the women were as beautiful as flowers.

Their faces bore relaxed expressions, a stark contrast to others who visited the lake with severe and tense countenances.

"It is said that Lingdan Hall's little princess and some man were tricked by Zhuge Changping, a young master from a subsidiary branch of the Zhuge Family. They fled together from the Illusory God City to the Illusory God Lake... with a possibility of a romantic rendezvous." A man with a regretful expression on his face said, "Such a wasteful end to the Heavenly Genius. The blooming flower was mysteriously plucked by someone."

This man was named Luo Ning, he was a Heavenly Genius from the Luo family of the Heavenly Realm and a rising star among the younger generation. His cultivation had already reached the pinnacle of the Ascension Stage. He harbored no intention of taking part in the ranking battles because, in his opinion, the only list worth aiming for was that of the Heavenly Layer!

Rankings of cultivation stages at the Human and Earth Layers were insignificant to him.

After one got a high-ranking position, they were not only exposing themselves but also revealing their cultivation. To which he held disdain and no fondness for.

Standing next to Luo Ning was a young man who bore a striking resemblance to him, Luo Ying, his younger brother. Luo Ying was a cultivator at the peak of the Mahayana Stage. Upon hearing the stories, he chuckled, "Liu Yun was indeed cunning... to think he drugged the princess of Lingdan Hall. It's funny when you think about it, the grand princess of Lingdan Hall was tricked with a simple potion. Although it was unfortunate for Zhuge Changping, losing his head and life for such a petty scheme... It was a death not worth the cause!"

A stunning woman sneered, "Everyone seems interested in those matters. Instead of indulging in such gossip, we should focus on our upcoming action plan."

This woman was Qin Shi of the Qin family from the Heavenly Realm, a genuine Heavenly Genius. She was on the pinnacle of the Ascension Stage and was on the verge of entering the Golden Immortal State.

Another girl with a chubby and cute face chimed in, "Sister Shishi is right. Instead of gossiping about these irrelevant happenings, it'd be better to formulate our next move."

This chubby girl, named Dong Yu, came from the Dong family, a prestigious clan from the Heavenly Realm. In fact, she was seen as a more promising Prospect than Qin Shi.

Dong Yu's bloodline was awakened at a very young age, and with the help of numerous blessings of fate, despite not even being twenty, her cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the Ascension Stage. She was a talent who could potentially step into the state of Golden Immortal at any moment.

All of these individuals had one thing in common: they despised the limelight. The various popularity rankings of the Human Layer held no appeal to them.

The truth of the matter, their elders were suspicious of those lists within the Illusory God Realm. They felt as if they were being studied, so they told their younger generations to keep a low profile once they entered the Illusory God Realm.

Actually, there were many prodigies like them.

That's why the Realm Spirit had told Chu Mo, "There are numerous hidden geniuses in the Illusory God Realm. Always remain vigilant."

Upon hearing the women's words, Luo Ning smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry. This time, I have brought a heavy weapon. Barring unforeseen circumstances, the Five Elements Water... will surely fall into our possession this time!"

The faces of Qin Shi and Dong Yu lit up in anticipation upon hearing Luo Ning's words.

Luo Ning and Luo Ying had been tirelessly pursuing Qin Shi and Dong Yu for some time now. The Five Elements Water was a priceless treasure in the Cultivation Realm, too valuable for estimation.

However, the Luo brothers, if it could earn them the charm of the beautiful women, would be willing to pay any price, no matter how extravagant!

Both Qin Shi and Dong Yu possessed the extremely rare Nine Yin Body constitution, a trait which naturally inclined them towards water-type cultivation practices.

More importantly, if one were to dual cultivate with such individuals, immense benefits could be reaped!

It was not just Luo Ning and Luo Ying who recognized this fact, the entire Luo family held this view and were doing everything in their power to make the double marriages happen.
