Liu Yun held the communication device, her heartbeat racing, feeling her entire face burning hot. She reached out to touch her face, then typed a long message, only to delete it all, typed again... and deleted again. In the end, only one word remained, which she chose to send.

"Okay."

After sending that word, Liu Yun felt it was a bit impolite, so she asked another question, "And you?"

"I'm quite well." Chu Mo's reply came quickly.

A faint smile appeared on Liu Yun's face, stunningly beautiful. She carefully glanced around, took a deep breath, and wrote on the communication device, "The device has changed its functions, making communication and interaction between people more convenient, but also more dangerous. There are many who now secretly aim to target you; you must be extra careful."

"Don't worry, I'm very well!" Chu Mo's reply was still prompt.

"Then that's good, I have other matters to attend to, let's talk when I'm free." Having sent these words, Liu Yun carefully turned off the communication device. She then took a deep breath and put the device away. A joyous smile emerged on her exquisite face.

She stood up and walked outside, her steps seeming much lighter than before.

Outside, she caught sight of that young man sneakily peeking in her direction. Liu Yun raised an eyebrow slightly, "What are you looking at?"

"Ah... heh, nothing, I'm on my way, elder sister..." The young man was startled by the happiness that seemed to overflow from Liu Yun's face; it had been too many years since he had seen such an expression on his sister's face. He was somewhat dazed.

Liu Yun glared at the young man, threatening, "If you dare to speak of today's matter, you know the consequences!"

"Ah, I understand, I understand... You can rest assured, sister, I'm the brother who loves you the most... I'd rather die than speak out!" The young man wore a fawning smile, patting his chest to assure her.

Liu Yun gave the young man a casual glance, then walked away with light footsteps.

Only when she had completely disappeared from sight did the young man exclaim in amazement, "Heavens... my sister... she's actually in love? That's truly miraculous! Could it really be that Chu Mo, the exceptional Heavenly Genius that's rocked the entire fantasy-ridden Cultivation Realm... By reputation, he seems to be a match for my sister, but his cultivation... My sister is nearing the level of a Heavenly Immortal! When he comes to the Heavenly Realm, I must verify for myself whether he's worthy to be my brother-in-law."

With that, the young man too, turned to leave.

The upgrade of the communication device stirred up a huge commotion among all the bloodline talents that could enter the fantasy-ridden Cultivation Realm.

This upgrade, it was simply too powerful!

And it came so suddenly, unexpectedly for everyone. No one could have imagined that a communication device could bring out so many variations.

Some discerning elders of the Heavenly Realm couldn't help but express their opinions, "If this continues, people's dependence on the communication device will only grow stronger!"

Some visionaries also shared their opinions in the comprehensive discussion area of the communication device.

"On the true value of the communication device."

"With the communication device becoming so powerful, what if one day we were without it?"

"The communication device has truly integrated into the lives of all cultivators in this way."

"In the future, the Cultivation Realm will have no secrets, all matters will be sent to the communication device immediately."

"Our ancestors say these are distractions that will lead to our downfall, saying all I do is look at various strange tales on the communication device..."

In short, there were all sorts of opinions, but overall, all cultivators with a communication device displayed immense interest in its upgrade.

The changed communication device now allowed private contact, a revolutionary innovation. This made communication countless times simpler.

"Mom doesn't have to worry about me hiring an assassin being discovered by others anymore."

"Mom doesn't have to worry about my being a killer anymore, it won't be unsafe."

Posts like these were also plentiful on the message board. Although many people were just joking, for many others, wasn't this indeed the reality?

The changes to the message board's function had, overnight, profoundly affected the entire Cultivation Realm. Its far-reaching implications may still be somewhat vague now, but perhaps, in a few years, its powerful aspects will be fully evident!

Chu Mo put away the message board and returned to his room, where Qi Xiaoyu was still deep in slumber.

Her face was tranquil.

That peerlessly charming visage was completely unguarded against Chu Mo.

Her breathing was stable, with a faint smile lingering on her lips, as though she were savoring a pleasant dream.

Seeing Qi Xiaoyu sleeping peacefully, Chu Mo finally felt at ease, and a faint smile also appeared on his face.

Sitting beside Qi Xiaoyu, he began his cultivation practice.

To Chu Mo, entering the Daoist Sect's Nine Word Mantra wasn't particularly difficult, but to master it... was indeed very challenging!

Even Chu Mo, whose talent in cultivation was enough to look down upon the vast majority of cultivators in this world, found it impossible to quickly master these Nine Words!

Although the Nine Word Mantra consisted of merely nine short words, it encompassed everything!

It included everything in the entire cosmos!

Each word could evolve into billions of different branches.

It was as if each word carried the weight of billions of completely different worlds. Thus, when truly cultivated to perfection, each word... was equivalent to billions of worlds!

That... was true suppression!

No matter who the opponent was, the mere utterance of a single word of truth was like the weight of billions of worlds pressing down on them all at once. Those with slightly inferior cultivation... would likely be crushed to dust on the spot. Even a mighty being with terrifying cultivation levels couldn't withstand such pressure.

The Buddhist Sect's Six Word Mantra also had an equivalent effect. However, Chu Mo favored the Daoist Sect's Nine Word Mantra and had decided in his heart that if he found someone with the right aptitude, he wouldn't let the Buddhist Six Word Mantra be neglected.

Even though he wasn't the patriarch of the Buddhist Sect, he owed the old monk so much that he always had to repay it.

While Chu Mo's true body was comprehending the Nine Word Mantra, his second primordial spirit, sitting atop the Five-Colored Dao Platform, began to operate the method of "Heaven's Will is My Will" from the Daoist Extreme Volume, frantically absorbing the essence energy between Heaven and Earth. Chu Mo was preparing to break through to the Mahayana realm while simultaneously comprehending the Nine Word Mantra!

His formidable enemies had not disappeared; the countless experts of the Fu Family had formed a vast net, determined to trap him completely!

The ancestor of Dugu Mountain, Dugu Yu, had been killed, and Dugu Yi, leading the powerful beings of Dugu Mountain, together with the people of the Fu Family... swore to root out the couple, Chu Mo and Qi Xiaoyu.

If it weren't for the sudden upgrade of the message board, which disrupted their arrangements, they might have already caught up by now.

The Fu Family's intelligence capabilities were quite exceptional. During this chase after Chu Mo and Qi Xiaoyu, the Fu Family's intelligence department demonstrated their strength. Wherever there were gatherings of people, whether in villages or towns, one could almost always spot the presence of Fu Family intelligence personnel.

They paid close attention to any male-female pairs. On the surface, they offered a hefty reward, and in private... they employed various means, vowing not to rest until they located Chu Mo and Qi Xiaoyu.
