This battle, for Chu Mo, didn't feel significant. Over the years, he had experienced too many such fights. But for the Mahayana cultivator of the Netherworld Ancient Sect, it was a tremendous humiliation in his life!

A renowned Mahayana period cultivator, who had secretly followed a Spirit Refining period cultivator for so many days and had made thorough preparations. In the end, not only did his efforts come to naught, but he was also beaten severely wounded. He was simply not a match for his opponent!

Although no one else saw this scene, he felt as though he had been severely slapped in the face.

It hurt!

And the more he thought about it, the more disgraced he felt!

However, when he returned to the entrance of that relic, another matter shocked him.

"Another person came out of the relic! That guy earlier deceived us, not everyone is dead!"

"That person, carrying a cauldron on his head, withstood the attacks of dozens of us and slipped away right under our noses!"

"That cauldron must be the treasure from this relic! Even we, the cultivators at the peak of Mahayana period, couldn't handle it… This is a supreme treasure!"

"We must find out his identity, daring to covet the treasures of our Netherworld Ancient Sect, he's simply tired of living!"

It took a while for this Mahayana period cultivator to understand, listening to everyone's discussion, that while he was off secretly chasing Chu Mo, another person had come out of the relic.

That person, with a cauldron on his head, was nearly impervious to weapons. Even cultivators at the peak of Mahayana period could not harm him. He managed to escape right under the eyes of this group, using an Escape Charm.

This incident enraged everyone present, causing great fury in their hearts.

They swore to find that person and make him pay the appropriate price.

The person who escaped was naturally Wang Liang, who had been hiding in the cauldron earlier.

After a long time since Chu Mo had left, Wang Liang dared to crawl out of the cauldron. Seeing the many dead Immortal Beasts, he didn't dare touch the bodies of these beings but instead, carrying the cauldron, rushed straight out from the relic.

As expected, the cultivators of the Netherworld Ancient Sect couldn't breach his cauldron's defenses. After Wang Liang escaped, he didn't dare to go back to Dugu Mountain. Given the power of the Netherworld Ancient Sect, it was only a matter of time before they would discover his true identity. Dugu Mountain, a minor sect, couldn't possibly protect him.

Thus, he didn't even contact Dugu Mountain, threw away his message stone, and hiding alone with the cauldron, he vanished into the deep mountains and forests.

But Wang Liang would never forget the upheaval inside that relic. Perhaps he was the only one who knew the most clearly: he was not the person who benefitted the most from that relic. The young man who had left before him was the greatest beneficiary!

But Wang Liang would never speak of this matter.

This is the cultivation realm!

Everyone has their own opportunities and speaking of which, if it weren't for that person who used some means to slay a large number of terrifying creatures in the relic, Wang Liang might never have been able to come out alive.

By this time, Chu Mo had already moved far from there, continually progressing towards the direction of the Buddhist realm.

While passing through a city, he was somewhat surprised to hear about certain matters regarding the Netherworld Ancient Sect and that relic.

"The Netherworld Ancient Sect took a significant fall this time. Their own people suffered heavy casualties while exploring the relic. They had no choice but to call upon some unaffiliated cultivators to investigate the relic. As a result, a cultivator from Dugu Mountain named Wang Liang sneaked in, successfully found a cauldron inside, and used it to protect himself. Even the cultivators at the peak of the Mahayana period could do nothing but watch him leave. The Netherworld Ancient Sect really suffered a great loss this time."

"Now that they know that person is a cultivator from Dugu Mountain, given the nature of the Netherworld Ancient Sect, could they leave it be?"

"What's the use of going after him? If you were that Wang Liang, would you return to Dugu Mountain?"

"True, if it were me, I wouldn't go back either. With this treasure, hiding in the deep mountains and forests for decades, coming out as an unparalleled expert! Then, who would I fear?"

"But I heard that before that Wang Liang… another person had come out of that relic. He seemed to have come out with nothing, but after many people analyzed the situation, that person… very likely gained even more than Wang Liang!"

"Is that so?"

"Hmm, it is said that the person quite calmly tossed a storage ring to a disciple of the ancient Netherworld sect who wanted to extort him, and then he left leisurely. If it were a solitary cultivator who had gained nothing, he shouldn't have behaved so generously," he mused.

Chu Mo sat nearby, listening to their conversation, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: news in the Immortal Realm spread incredibly fast; moreover, there were many clever people in the world.

After a short stay, Chu Mo continued on his journey.

For several months, Chu Mo spent his days traveling.

During his travels, he would occasionally visit the Illusory Spirit Realm or check the messages on the board to keep up with various developments.

Miao Yi Niang and the others were all doing well. The Piaomiao Palace in the Spirit Realm had almost become the strongest sect in the entire Spirit Realm. Although a little lacking in heritage, with Chu Mo's strong support, no one dared to provoke them.

Chu Mo did not receive any news about Qi Xiaoyu in the Illusory Spirit Realm, but he believed that Qi Xiaoyu must be somewhere in the Immortal Realm. Her choice to turn to darkness, to plunge into boundless darkness, had inevitably made her an adversary to other cultivators.

A fallen Elf, in the eyes of those human cultivators, was not much different from the Demon Clan.

Subduing demons and eliminating evils had always been among the favorite activities of many cultivators.

Not only could they gain a good reputation, but they could also obtain vast cultivation resources, without any consequences!

Thus, Qi Xiaoyu would definitely have to hide herself well.

"Once I settle my family, I will come to find you and my master! I don't ask for much in the Immortal Realm, just these few things," Chu Mo's eyes showed a resolute color as he continued forward in the direction of a Buddhist temple.

That evening, Chu Mo walked on an ancient road and saw a small temple ahead.

Dim light flickered indistinctly inside the temple. Along with it, there was a faint, almost imperceptible sound of chanting.

For some reason, the barely audible chanting, although almost inaudible, resonated in Chu Mo's mind like thunderclaps!

It shook Chu Mo's spiritual sea violently.

A look of horror appeared on Chu Mo's face. He had never encountered such a situation before and did not know if it was intentional or not.

If it was unintentional, it was even more terrifying!

If it wasn't directed at him and could still have such an effect, what would happen if it was meant for him?

Moreover, the closer Chu Mo got to the temple, the greater the pressure he felt.

Eventually, when he was still about thirty feet from the temple, he felt almost unable to breathe.

At that moment, the chanting suddenly stopped, and then, a mild voice came from the temple: "Benefactor, you carry too much killing energy, and I am chanting scriptures for transcending spirits. But my powers are limited, so I can hardly transcend the killing energy in you. This is why you feel uneasy."

Ho!

As the chanting stopped, Chu Mo immediately felt refreshed and clear-headed.

-------------

Still weak, but managed to burst out with a fifth night watch!

Yeah, that's right.
