The Vast Immortal Realm, boundless and stretching endlessly, was filled with magnificent and marvelous mountains and lands.

As Chu Mo walked among these mountains and lands, he continually comprehended the various Dao principles contained between Heaven and Earth. At the same time, he was studying the Six Word Mantra of Buddhism left to him by the old monk, as well as the techniques within a jade slip from the Daoist Sect.

Before the old monk passed into Buddhahood, his last words stated that these two techniques were not divine abilities but saint arts!

In the past few days, Chu Mo had searched on the faith plaque but had not found any records related to the words "saint arts." Thus, Chu Mo still had his doubts but dared not confirm the true class of the so-called saint arts.

However, one thing he had come to understand very clearly.

The world's strongest cultivator—the supreme—was not the true end point for a cultivator. Rather, it seemed like another beginning!

This realization shocked and astonished Chu Mo, and deep within his heart, it also gave rise to infinite hopes.

And there was that rage hidden deep within his heart!

I must find my father!

I must see my mother!

I will make sure that anyone who dares to dishonor them will never be able to speak again!

Whoever dares to insult my parents, I will kill them!

Although I am not yet powerful enough, I will certainly do everything I can to make myself stronger. On this path, no one can stop me. Whoever stands in my way, I will kick them aside!

The token of the Daoist Sect is the supreme symbol of the sect!

Though it has declined and can no longer command the world with just a token, its value... is still immeasurable!

Even more valuable is that jade slip.

It holds the Daoist Nine Word Mantra.

"Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, Xing."

Just nine words, yet they contain the supreme Great Dao.

The Lin character mnemonic is immovable as a mountain; the Bing character mnemonic holds a vast energy; the Dou character mnemonic resonates with the universe; the Zhe character mnemonic restores vitality; the Jie character mnemonic senses divine thoughts; the Zhen character mnemonic conceals aura; the Lie character mnemonic manipulates time and space; the Qian character mnemonic involves the Five Elements; the Xing character mnemonic unites Heaven and Human.

Compared to the Six Word Mantra of Buddhism, the Daoist Nine Word Mantra is closer to Chu Mo's cultivation system.

For he had barely comprehended it when he derived immense benefits from it!

For instance, when Chu Mo utilized the still unfamiliar Qian character mnemonic, the Five-Colored Dao Platform in his elixir field instantly resonated strongly, absorbing the Five Elements at a speed more than twice as fast as before!

It is known that Chu Mo's Five Elements Dao foundation already had an affinity for the Five Elements to an incomparable degree. Yet now, by running this completely unfamiliar Qian character mnemonic, he unexpectedly achieved such divine effects!

This realization shook Chu Mo to his core. He even felt as though the Daoist Nine Word Mantra was somehow prepared for him by destiny!

Chu Mo then tried running the Lie character mnemonic, and his speed of advancement also instantly doubled!

The sensation of tearing through the void in an instant and traveling through time and space made Chu Mo experience what true speed felt like.

Chu Mo couldn't help but be astounded as he thought: I have just started cultivating this Daoist Nine Word Mantra, and the corresponding aspects have already improved by more than double. Doesn't that mean, my current comprehensive combat capability... has almost doubled from before?

So, what if one began their cultivation? Advanced to proficiency? Mastered it? Or reached the suprememastery of a Grandmaster in the art?

What would the scene look like then?

Thinking this, Chu Mo couldn't help but feel perplexed. How could Daoism possibly decline if it possessed such terrifying saint arts?

How did all this come about?

This was really something that Chu Mo couldn't figure out.

Because in Chu Mo's view, although the Nine Word Mantra was very obscure, it wasn't to the extent that it was completely incomprehensible. If every disciple of the Daoist Sect mastered this Nine Word Mantra, what kind of forces in the world could possibly stand against Daoism?

What he didn't know was that if the Nine Word Mantra of Daoism were as easy to cultivate as he imagined, Daoism would indeed be invincible!

Firstly, to master this Nine Word Mantra, one inherently needs outstanding talent, a kind that might not appear even in ten thousand years!

Therefore, the powers or individuals in this world who possess the Daoist Nine Word Mantra are actually not few, but those who can truly cultivate it are almost nonexistent!

Over countless eons, only a handful of cultivators have learned all of the Nine Word Mantra, but to cultivate it to an extremely high level is almost impossible!

Most people are able to use just one or two of the mantras, which is considered a remarkable achievement!

Because the power of the Nine Word Mantra is too great, yet too difficult to cultivate, there was a saying in Daoism that the Nine Word Mantra is the most powerful, yet most garbage saint art in this world!

It is said that aside from the first, second, and third ancestors of Daoism, who cultivated the Nine Word Mantra to the utmost, no one else in Daoism has managed to cultivate it to that level.

So the current Chu Mo was still immersed in sheer joy. This fully illustrates that sometimes, having a renowned master is a disciple's fortune; but sometimes… not having one might also lead to unexpected effects!

Just like the current Chu Mo, who was almost entirely absorbed in the Nine Word Mantra throughout his journey.

The Six Word Mantra of Buddhism, though equally unmatched in power, Chu Mo felt was not the most suitable for himself. Just like the old monk said, someday when he truly finds a suitable person, it would be good to pass it on then.

Of course, whenever he completely deciphers the Daoist Nine Word Mantra, he might turn back to study the Buddhist Six Word Mantra. After all, in terms of rank, the two are equivalent! It's just a matter of which is more suitable.

Chu Mo's cultivation level was also continuously improving, and his rate of improvement was incredibly terrifying.

Just like the Realm Spirit once said, once Chu Mo successfully laid down his Five Elements Dao foundation, his speed of realm advancement would far surpass those haughty talents of the Heavenly Realm with countless top-tier resources.

Chu Mo thus journeyed for three months, and his overall strength had reached the pinnacle state of the Spirit Refining phase; he was on the cusp of stepping into the Mahayana phase!

His second primordial spirit had also solidified considerably. Now, he could occasionally allow this second primordial spirit to dominate his perfect clone and enter the illusory spirit realm. Yet, during this process, his original body couldn't leave for too long because his second primordial spirit wasn't stable enough to support his perfect clone's activities in the illusory spirit realm for an extended period.

The downside was a slight delay in his travel time, but the upside was... Chu Mo's perfect clone entering the illusory spirit realm could directly access the celestial layer's City of Illusory Spirits!

Moreover, no one... could recognize his identity from this perfect clone.

Thus, in the fourth month of traversing the magnificent landscapes of the Vast Immortal Realm, Chu Mo finally arrived at Daoism.

The ancestral court of that worldly power.

The place was not as ruined as he had imagined; rather, it exuded a peculiar sense of thriving prosperity!

Looking at the grandiose, immense gate before him, Chu Mo finally understood a bit of what the old monk had once said to him: You go to the Daoist Sect, and you may still encounter those who will make things difficult for you.

Because just from this gate, Chu Mo felt that he might not be able to enter it openly and honorably.
