"I'm not the legitimate child, I'm a concubine's daughter."

"My mother died in childbirth while giving birth to me…"

"Are there instances of difficult childbirths in the Heavenly Realm as well?" Chu Mo was very curious.

"If he wants it to be, then it will be." Dong Yu looked at Chu Mo.

Suddenly, Chu Mo fell silent, his face filled with remorse.

"It's nothing..." Dong Yu sighed lightly, "It's just fate. My mother was too beautiful and gentle, she was never suited to be part of a powerful clan. So, even though my father hid her away, in the end, she still couldn't escape from the clutches of that dark hand."

"However, my mother's death outraged my father. Although he didn't directly sever that black hand, he killed a bunch of its dogs and issued a declaration—if anything happened to me, he was ready to bury the whole clan related to this matter!"

"Therefore, I've enjoyed relative safety since childhood without suffering from any deprivation."

"But I never wanted to go back to that family. I love gourmet food, and I think dishes prepared by others are simply inedible. So, I started experimenting with cooking from a young age."

"Yet, deep down inside... There has always been a knot in my heart. I want to avenge my mother."

"Even though she didn't have a high status, she was a wonderful woman. She should have lived a happy and joyful life. Her death was totally unjust."

"Unfortunately, my talent is only mediocre in the Heavenly Realm…"

Upon hearing this, Chu Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes and look at Dong Yu, "Miss Dong, how old are you this year?"

"Hey, asking a girl's age is very impolite!" Dong Yu glared at Chu Mo but still answered, "I am already twenty-one years old."

"Twenty-one and you're at the peak of ascension... and you say you're just mediocre?" Chu Mo's lips twitched.

"What do you know." Dong Yu glanced at him, "I merely possess a blue top-grade bloodline. While it's not considered low in the Heavenly Realm, it's definitely not very high either. Despite having eaten so many good things, my body is only at the Ninth Peak, not even Innate yet, let alone reaching the Daoist Realm."

"Is the bloodline really that important?" Chu Mo looked at Dong Yu.

Dong Yu nodded earnestly, "Of course. Once you reach the Spirit Refining stage, you will understand the advantages of possessing a powerful bloodline."

"Your bloodline is already quite powerful," Chu Mo consoled her, although he couldn't help but think about his own bloodline.

During the initial test, his bloodline directly shattered the jade platform, and that was when the Realm Spirit appeared before him.

That bloodline test could be said to have changed many things.

Without that bloodline test, the Realm Spirit wouldn't have discovered him, and Chu Mo's life trajectory would have undergone a major change as a result...

"You don't need to comfort me. I know my own condition very well," Dong Yu said with a faint smile, "Some time ago, a blue bloodline elf girl appeared in the human layer of the Phantom God Realm. Now, her bloodline is truly powerful!"

Chu Mo spaced out slightly. Of course, he knew that the blue bloodline elf girl she mentioned was Qi Xiaoyu.

"However, that girl seems to have come from the Spirit Realm. After the successful bloodline testing, she disappeared quietly. Maybe, she was directly taken away by a major clan." Dong Yu said somberly, "But her future is definitely bright!"

"You shouldn't belittle yourself either. You've reached this stage at such a young age. It's not impossible for you to become a female emperor in the future," Chu Mo said.

"Female emperor?" Dong Yu chuckled, "Do you really think it's easy to become an emperor?"

With that, Dong Yu looked at Chu Mo and asked, "Do you think that the group of people who are able to enter the Phantom God Realm are already the most powerful group among all there is...under the heavens?"

"Aren't they?" Chu Mo asked in return.

"Of course not!" Dong Yu gave Chu Mo a rather surprising answer.

"Those with an exceptional bloodline...are not necessarily all geniuses!" Dong Yu lightly said, "On the contrary, among those with non-remarkable bloodlines, not all of them are weak. The so-called geniuses are all relative."

Chu Mo nodded his head in agreement. He quite liked her perspective.

Because maybe, the Demon Lord's bloodline was not particularly strong either. However, even after having entered the Phantom God Realm, Chu Mo had an intuition that his master's strength was surely not inferior to the geniuses of the same rank in that realm!

Otherwise, how could he have stirred up major troubles in the Immortal Realm back in the day, causing so many powerhouses to hunt him down?

Dong Yu's beautiful eyes looked towards the distant horizon as she whispered, "Actually... in the Heavenly Realm, the real top heavenly geniuses disdain to enter the Phantom God Realm."

"Ah?" Chu Mo's face turned blank as he stared at Dong Yu.

"What, feeling a bit taken aback?" Dong Yu smiled, "Actually, when I first heard about this, I was also disheartened for quite a while."

"Why? Isn't cultivating in the Phantom God Realm faster than in the Heavenly Realm?" Chu Mo asked.

"Actually, it's not necessarily so. Sure, if you're comparing the Phantom God Realm with the wilderness of the Heavenly Realm, then it is true." Dong Yu said with a smile, "But how many nobles who really have a high social status would cultivate in the open void? If they did so, even after a hundred years...they wouldn't reach the Mahayana stage, let alone ascension or becoming a Daluo Jinxian."

"Heavenly Crystals?" Chu Mo looked at Dong Yu.

"Heavenly Crystal Arrays." Dong Yu said with a smile, "That is the true cultivating method of the young powerhouses in the Heavenly Realm. Obviously, the consumption of such a method is not something that ordinary clans can afford."

"So, the Phantom God Realm..."

"The Phantom God Realm, you see, is actually quite an interesting place, and that's how many people see it," Dong Yu said with a smile, "For people of the Immortal Realm and Spirit Realm, the Phantom God Realm is obviously an excellent cultivation ground, and there are even opportunities to get treasures from the Heavenly Realm. However, for those born in the major clans of the Heavenly Realm who are not short of resources, the Phantom God Realm...is merely a slightly larger sub-world."

"So, that's how it is..." Chu Mo laughed at himself.

"The Phantom God Realm is indeed mysterious, that's true," Dong Yu looked at Chu Mo, "However, for the young powerhouses who truly stand at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Realm, even if the Phantom God Realm is steeped in mystery, it can't retain them. Their targets are always located in the endless depths of the starry sky…"

Chu Mo's heart shuddered slightly, feeling a sense of inexplicable shock. Deep within his body, it seemed as if a stream of blood was quickly heating up.

"So, you see, I want to revenge, but first...my strength alone is not enough; second, the object of my vengeance is in the Dong family, a force so great that it's hard to imagine. If my intentions were to be discovered, the one who would suffer first...would certainly be me," Dong Yu whispered, "Moreover, even if I did possess such strength, the pressure coming from the family would instantly crush me."

"The vengeance of a mother's death must be avenged." Chu Mo declared.

"Indeed, there will always be an opportunity!" Dong Yu answered with a charming smile. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
