The aura emitted by this creature far surpassed that of a Spirit Refining cultivator, at least reaching the state of Mahayana!

Its huge body emitted an extremely pungent stench, and with its gaping maw, it lunged directly at Chu Mo to swallow him whole.

"What in the world is this thing?" Chu Mo's speed had escalated to its peak, leaving not even a shadow behind, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared thousands of miles away. Yet the massive creature continued its desperate chase behind him.

"That's an Immortal Mole, just a tiny little bug,"

Just then, from the Fire Dragon Cup on Chu Mo, came the voice of the Fire Dragon.

When Chu Mo ascended to the Immortal Realm, he had brought the Fire Dragon Cup with him, fulfilling a promise to the Fire Dragon. But in the future, once Miao Yi Niang and others ascended to the Immortal Realm, Chu Mo would let the Fire Dragon continue guarding the Piaomiao Palace until he ascended to the Heavenly Realm, at which point he would take it with him again.

By that time, the Fire Dragon would completely regain its freedom.

Hearing the Fire Dragon's voice, Chu Mo suddenly remembered he had such a powerful protector with him. He burst into laughter, stopped running, and said, "Why didn't you speak up earlier? You should have wiped out those people at the Guiding Land right then. You made me waste a bunch of top-grade elixirs!"

Whether it was an Escape Pill or a Breaking Boundary Pill, the ingredients were all incredibly costly. If not for Chu Mo's collaboration with Lingdan Hall, he would never have found the materials to concoct these elixirs.

The Fire Dragon spoke in an ethereal voice, "You're already nearly everyone's target, do you really want more people to know about your trump cards?"

Chu Mo scratched his head, becoming somewhat silent; of course, he was reluctant.

"However, I can take care of this little bug for you. It's not challenging," said the Fire Dragon nonchalantly.

At that moment, the thousand-zhang-long body of the Immortal Mole brought its immense head right up to Chu Mo, its fleshy head covered in mud and slime, looking disgusting yet extremely terrifying!

"Begone!"

The Fire Dragon issued a cold roar, its huge body bursting out of the Fire Dragon Cup.

Instantly, the Immortal Mole, as though encountering a natural predator, smashed into the ground with a thud, creating a long, deep trench stretching thousands of zhang and kicking up clouds of dust.

Chu Mo was instantly speechless. This creature, upon seeing him, acted as if it had found a delicacy. Yet, it cowered instantly before the Fire Dragon... Wasn't this bullying too blatant?

"Actually, this thing is very nutritious and tasty," the Fire Dragon said.

"Ugh... you eat it," Chu Mo immediately felt his stomach churn and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

The Fire Dragon snorted coldly, "If I could eat it, do you think I'd leave it for you? Never mind, if you don't want to eat it, let's just let it go. After all, this is the first non-human creature you've encountered since entering the Immortal Realm."

Watching the trembling Immortal Mole lying on the ground, Chu Mo sighed inwardly and nodded, "Let's go."

Then, the Fire Dragon slipped back into the Fire Dragon Cup, and Chu Mo, holding it, slowly walked away.

At that point, the colossal Immortal Mole seemed to suddenly come back to life, diving headfirst into the deep earth and quickly disappearing without a trace.

This was just a minor incident, but for Chu Mo, it was like a wakeup call. It told him that this was no longer the Spirit Realm.

"The Immortal Realm is filled with numerous such creatures, this one is nothing special, merely a Mahayana period insect. But in fact, if we had encountered an Ascension period Immortal Mole just now, even I... might not have been able to suppress it completely," Fire Dragon said. "After all, I am sealed within the Fire Dragon Cup, which comes with inherent limitations. Moreover, if the opponent discovers this secret, then... as long as it sends out a fragment of its primordial spirit to attack you, I will not be able to guarantee your safety."

"So you're saying..." Chu Mo sighed lightly.

"So I'm saying, even if you keep me with you all the time, at most... I can only help you deal with Mahayana period beings," Fire Dragon said. "In fact, once your Primordial Infant transforms into the spirit, and you truly enter the Spirit Refining phase, you might not be powerless when you encounter such creatures."

"From what you're saying, it seems like you want me to hurry up and find a safe place to set you down before you'll feel at ease?" Chu Mo asked with a smile.

"Yes, staying beside you, young man, is simply too dangerous!" Fire Dragon answered frankly: "Do you know why that Immortal Mole was relentlessly pursuing you just now? Normally, a cultivator of your realm would not pique its interest at all."

"Why?" Chu Mo was also curious about this.

"Because of your physique and your bloodline!" Fire Dragon said with a sigh: "Although I cannot accurately determine your physique and bloodline, do you know? Your physique and bloodline are an irresistible temptation to any being in the Cultivation Realm!"

"..." Chu Mo was immediately speechless.

Fire Dragon said earnestly: "This is true, indisputable fact. Perhaps human cultivators, generally speaking, even if they do sense something special about your physique and bloodline, might not entertain the idea because to extract someone's bloodline and refine someone's body... is not only unethical, it leads to big cause and effect, and it's also not easy. But for non-human beings, first of all, their perception far surpasses that of human cultivators, allowing them to distinctly sense your differences. Secondly, the vast majority of non-human beings essentially have no concept of ethics. So, their desire to consume you... carries no psychological burden for them!"

"I've turned into hot property..." Chu Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes. Such a situation never happened while he was in the Spirit Realm.

"So the first thing you need to do now, while I'm still here, is to quickly find a safe place and transform your Primordial Infant into spirit!" Fire Dragon seriously suggested.

It was not aware of Chu Mo's plans, but it intuitively felt that Chu Mo seemed not to be in a hurry to take the step of transforming his Primordial Infant into spirit; rather, he seemed to be somewhat hasty in wanting to do something else.

"This way..." Chu Mo was silent for a moment, then nodded his head: "You make sense."

Afterwards, Chu Mo directly found a quiet place, then placed the Fire Dragon Cup beside himself and took out Heaven Slaying... setting it aside.

Fire Dragon had no objections to this. If Chu Mo lacked even this level of vigilance, then it might actually disrespect him.

How have you survived till today without any vigilance?

Following that, Chu Mo began to practice the "Heaven's Will, My Intent" technique.

This time, as he practiced, the third volume of "Heaven's Will, My Intent" technique – the Tao Extreme Scroll – began to slowly activate.

Chu Mo was overjoyed; this was a sign that "Heaven's Will, My Intent" had progressed to the third layer!

After so many years, he had finally stepped into the third layer of "Heaven's Will, My Intent".

When the time comes to see his master, perhaps he could pass on the last two volumes of "Heaven's Will, My Intent" to his master! Back then, various conditions were not ripe, and Chu Mo simply dared not show the perfected "Heaven's Will, My Intent", but today, it should be possible.

Thinking this, Chu Mo began to practice the Tao Extreme Scroll.
