Chu Mo gazed at the head of the Ping Family.

The head of the Ping Family said indifferently, "It's just a battle for the reallocation of power."

Chu Mo watched the forces from all directions tangled in battle, constantly witnessing people fall from the sky, dying. The sky turned a deep red, looking as if it were ablaze.

In fact, it was the blood energy of cultivators that dyed the sky red.

"The battles between cultivator forces have always been exceedingly cruel. Even family heads may perish. However, it is rare for a force to be completely annihilated. The defeated side will lose many resources, and might never recover, sinking into second-rate status or even third-rate status," said the head of the Ping Family somewhat sentimentally. "Looking back at the history of the Spirit Realm, you will find that such wars are quite common. There are also too many once-glorious forces that have ultimately vanished from the Spirit Realm. For instance... the ruins you explored previously."

"The Qingxu Sect?" Chu Mo asked.

The head of the Ping Family nodded, "Yes, Qingxu Sect was once the most powerful sect in the entire Spirit Realm, unmatched! When they were at their peak, our clans and sects... were all overshadowed by their brilliance, completely incapable of contending with them. At its strongest, Qingxu Sect had thousands of cultivators who were half a step into Spirit Refining! There were countless more at the Primordial Infant stage. But later on, they too declined. Even though Daoist Master Qingxu is now in the Heavenly Realm, becoming one of the big shots there, he can only sigh in the face of such events, powerless! Great prosperity leads to decline... It's like a curse. What we hope for is just that this decline comes a bit later. Yet, no one can escape the great trend of the Heavenly Dao."

Chu Mo nodded, thinking to himself: He wasn't specifically addressing me with his words, but they serve as a warning to me. All along, my greatest wish has been to make Piaomiao Palace the most powerful sect under these stars, unmatched! According to this pattern, even if it truly becomes that kind of sect, it might someday decline. I too would face this helplessness...

Then, Chu Mo inwardly chuckled at the thought that he was worrying too much. Not to mention the timeless truth that "descendants will have their own fortune." Just consider one fact... right now, Piaomiao Palace can only be considered the strongest sect in the Mortal Realm, without even a bit of reputation in the Spirit Realm!

If you're worried about great prosperity leading to decline, the first precondition is that you've had to flourish... Otherwise, what decline is there to speak of?

With these thoughts, Chu Mo's somewhat melancholic heart instantly felt lighter. Then he began to watch the captivating battle unfold.

The head of the Ping Family's eyes slightly narrowed, and from the corner of his eye, he glanced at the expression on Chu Mo's face, feeling a bit of sentiment himself: This is a truly intelligent young man, with a remarkably firm heart. Not just anyone could shake his resolve. In view of this, the strategy previously set must remain unchanged. We have to befriend him!

The narrative he had just delivered was actually meant to probe Chu Mo. He wanted to see just how ambitious this young man was, and the extent of what he could achieve!

Being powerful as an individual is completely different from being powerful as a group.

If only Chu Mo were powerful, then sooner or later, Jinxiu City would be breached, and Chu Mo's disciples and followers, possibly even those around him now, would likely suffer.

These top forces that have been entrenched in the Spirit Realm for thousands of years are not to be underestimated. A centipede dies but never falls down. Unless they are truly and completely eradicated, they will rise again one day. Such profound enmity could lead these revitalized forces to desperately retaliate against Jinxiu City!

By that time, Chu Mo would have already ascended to the Immortal Realm. Even if he knew about it, what could he do? Could he return to the Spirit Realm?

That's how the Cultivation Realm is; once you leave, you leave. Ascending is extremely difficult, but returning is equally challenging.

So, if Chu Mo is just a "powerful individual," then the Ping Family would only befriend him alone, and after his departure, they would gradually cut ties with Jinxiu City.

But if Chu Mo is not just a "powerful individual" but also capable of empowering everyone around him, then Jinxiu City will become a force to be reckoned with!

No matter how you consider it, the Ping Family needs to form an alliance with Jinxiu City, and a friendly one at that!

Forming a true alliance!

Although Chu Mo was unaware of these considerations inside the head of the Ping Family, even if he had known, he wouldn't be overly concerned. At this moment, his attention was entirely captured by the distant battle.

This was the first time Chu Mo was watching a fierce battle from the perspective of a spectator.

All sorts of spells from the cultivators burst forth, dazzling beyond compare, and in that blood-red sky, they appeared exceptionally brilliant.

Always, the techniques Chu Mo had mastered ranged from the earliest Phantom Rapid Steps, Three Talents Boxing Technique, Netherworld Eight Blades, Thousand Heavy Hands to the numerous Supreme inheritances he had acquired later in the Ruins … any one of these was fundamentally different from the techniques cultivated by those in the Spirit Realm!

They were far more advanced than the techniques cultivated by these people!

As a result, Chu Mo almost never paid any attention to the techniques used in battle by these Spirit Realm cultivators.

With a single Supreme Art strike, the opponent was already dead. Why bother caring about what techniques they cultivated?

But this time, after observing carefully, Chu Mo finally realized a truth—there really are no useless techniques in this world, only incapable cultivators!

The techniques he had previously looked down upon, if used in the most suitable situations, could produce power and inflict damage hardly inferior to his Supreme Art!

Even though Chu Mo wouldn't start learning these techniques due to this realization, it made him understand that the reason he had always been invincible had not been because his combat skill truly surpassed his opponents by countless times, but because his combat strength was too strong, leaving no gaps for his opponents to counterattack!

If he truly encountered a formidable opponent someday and tangled with them, the outcome would indeed be hard to predict.

It seems I must also be cautious about my own attitude.

The consecutive victories had made Chu Mo's confidence immensely sufficient while also slightly inducing a trace of arrogance. This arrogance, unrelated to an unbeatable heart, meant pride, and pride meant relaxation.

And relaxation… would let the enemy seize their chance!

This is indeed the most fatal!

The head of the Ping Family, who had been stealthily observing Chu Mo's expression all along, could somewhat make out the change in Chu Mo's mindset.

On the surface, he remained calm, but his heart was already storm-tossed.

Such a strong young man, already so excellent, was considered one of the top tier, not just in the Spirit Realm, but even in the Immortal Realm and Heavenly Realm!

Yet, powerful as he was, he still did not forget to learn and constantly stay vigilant.

This kind of person… was truly the most fearsome kind!

At this moment, the head of the Ping Family suddenly felt immense respect for his previous choice. Looking at the chaotic battlefield around and at the ruins of Dugu Mountain below his feet, he felt emotional: Had he made one wrong step at that time, the Ping Family would definitely be among the unfortunate forces today!

The battle out there continued, fiercer than ever.

Meanwhile, in the Divine Spirit Realm, on the tablets of faith… chaos had erupted.
