Chu Mo sat on the rooster, rushing in a single direction. In the blink of an eye, he covered more than a hundred miles and found himself at a giant lake, where remnants of buildings could still be seen around its edge.
This place must have been a relaxation area for the Qingxu Sect back in the day, but now it's nothing more than ruins.
Without any hesitation, Chu Mo and the rooster plunged into the lake.
As soon as he entered, not only did his Divine Eye explode, but even Heaven Slaying...also exploded!
Chu Mo had no idea what had happened. Guided by Heaven Slaying, which was in an extremely agitated state, he arrived at this great lake. When Chu Mo and the rooster plunged into the unfathomable lake, Heaven Slaying shot out of the Divine Eye, exuding an enormously strong aura.
The rooster, a look of exhilaration painting its face, said, "Kid, you've struck it rich!"
"What do you mean? How have I struck it rich?" Chu Mo's face bore an expression of bewilderedness. He had some guesses but dared not affirm anything.
"This place likely has a section of Heaven Slaying's blade body!" The rooster excitedly said: "Remember the story I told you? Heaven Slaying disintegrated itself, its blade separated into three sections, and the blade soul vanished without a trace?"
"Of course, I remember," Chu Mo's heart twitched as he watched Heaven Slaying advancing swiftly at the bottom of the lake. A spark flashed in his eyes as he thought: 'Could it really be as the rooster said?'
"If there's something here that could excite your blade so much, in all likelihood, it's that item!" The rooster looked enviously at Chu Mo: "Kid, your luck is really too good... you even managed to stumble upon this."
"It's the Will of Heaven," Chu Mo's heart began to race.
Very soon, under the guidance of Heaven Slaying, Chu Mo swam with the rooster towards the center of the lake, which was thousands of feet deep.
Thankfully, Chu Mo had a Water Repelling Pill on him. Otherwise, he'd have been extremely uncomfortable given the extreme depth, despite his body of the ancestral realm.
There was a halo in the distance, which was particularly conspicuous in the water. Chu Mo spotted it from afar.
On getting closer, he realized that the halo was a barrier. And hidden within it was what seemed like a stone platform. Heaven Slaying had almost grown frantic, slashing directly at the halo.
Hum!
With a soft sound, the halo burst into an incredibly intense light.
Heaven Slaying's strike failed to break through it!
Chu Mo thought for a moment, reeled in the discontented Heaven Slaying, held it in his hand and then took out a Breaking Boundary Pill and cast it.
Regardless of how strong this halo-like barrier was, it could, at most, be a barrier set up by a Primordial Infant realm cultivator. It was powerless before Chu Mo's Breaking Boundary Pill.
The barrier was instantly shattered.
An ancient stone table was revealed along with the object on it, which appeared before Chu Mo and the rooster.
Both the man and the rooster were stupefied, so shocked that they were rendered speechless.
The stone table was old, giving off a desolate ancient vibe.
A dark red sword lay quietly on the stone table. It was unclear how many years it had been there. It was exquisite, with many intricate inscriptions. A closer look would give the impression of falling deep into it.
These inscriptions were not etched into the sword by hand. They were naturally formed!
Heaven Slaying in Chu Mo's hand trembled, emitting a sorrowful aura.
"It's grieving." Said the rooster quietly.
At that moment, Chu Mo let go of Heaven Slaying. It quickly flew away and in an instant, turned into a transparent, intangible blade, directly fusing with the section of blade body on the stone table.
"It's really Heaven Slaying's blade body! It's indeed it!" Chu Mo was instantly filled with excitement.
He did not know what kind of changes this section of the blade body would bring to Heaven Slaying, but he was genuinely happy.
Just then, something unexpected happened!
The stone table suddenly emitted an enormous amount of light, and a vast spatial force erupted from it.
The rooster bellowed in anger: "No good, it's a transmission platform, damn it... someone wants to snatch Heaven Slaying!"
Hum!
At that instant, Heaven Slaying, who had just fused with a part of the blade body, burst into a surge of an immeasurably powerful aura, breaking free from the light emitted by the stone table and taking another object on the stone table with it, as it burst out of the cocoon of light.
Bang!
The stone table blew up!
The terrifying force blew away the bodies of Chu Mo and the rooster, sending them several feet away into the lake!
Thump!
Chu Mo coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, staring in shock at the spot where the explosion had occurred.
That blast was equivalent to being struck by a Primordial Infant realm cultivator!
If it weren't for his ancestral realm body, he would have been shattered to pieces by the impact!
Whoosh!
Heaven Slaying flew towards him, with a small, yellow bottle still clinging to the blade.
Chu Mo caught Heaven Slaying with one hand, took the yellow bottle and put it away, and then looked around: "Rooster!"
His voice trembled slightly. The rooster didn't have his kind of physique. The rooster was injured by the last explosion, so Chu Mo was even rather afraid to speculate on its condition.
"Rooster!" Chu Mo cried out loud.
"Damn... that was rather ruthless. It almost killed me!" A weak voice echoed from several feet away.
Chu Mo immediately turned around and saw the rooster, weak but swimming towards him.
"That's great, you're okay!" Chu Mo finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"I'm blessed with good fortune. I won't die so easily... even in such a dire situation," the rooster spat out a mouthful of blood and then, gritting its teeth, said: "The person who laid this trap, really isn't anything good! He doesn't want anything he can't get!"
The rooster swam over to Chu Mo's side.
Chu Mo took out two elixirs from his body and gave them to the rooster. "There's a big commotion here, we need to leave quickly!"
The rooster nodded: "That blast, it must have caught someone's attention, let's go!"
Just as they were speaking, an extremely terrifying aura suddenly spread from the water. An utterly cold will followed immediately.
"Whoever you are, hand over the object!"
"Damn it..." The rooster cursed and looked at Chu Mo; he gave him a verbal message: "Quickly enter the Illusion God realm!"
Chu Mo immediately grabbed the rooster and began chanting the mnemonic.
Both man and rooster disappeared instantly.
Simultaneously, five figures and one person dressed in black were confronted above the lake surface.
Zhao Qing looked at the man in black coldly. "Senior Zhu Hong, are you planning to compete with us?"
The man in black scoffed at Zhao Qing: "What do you amount to? What qualification do you, a few mere Golden Core cultivators, have to talk to me?"
Zhao Qing replied with neither humility nor pride: "Yes, we are juniors. However, our masters are certainly qualified to talk to you, Senior Zhu Hong, no?"
