Heaven Slaying Blade

Chapter 261: Tastes Better When Stewed?


"What do you mean, by what right?" The Big Rooster looked at Chu Mo: "Are you an idiot? That place is guarded by the Four Great Sects! Apart from the Four Great Sects, no one could possibly get in. Now that they've opened it up and are only taking 30%... is that excessive?"

Chu Mo also looked at the Big Rooster in surprise: "You actually have the concept of rules in your mind?"

"Pah!" The Big Rooster naturally knew what Chu Mo meant. He glared at Chu Mo in somewhat embarrassed anger, and then drooping his head said, "I, the great rooster, have tried several times and couldn't break in. One time, I even managed to avoid those guards in the innate realm, but as a result... I almost died at the entrance."

"Ambushed?" Chu Mo asked, at the same time, his heart slightly stirred, murmuring in his heart: The Four Great Sects had actually stationed a group of powerful figures in the innate realm there. That place... indeed seemed a bit strange.

Looking dejected, the Big Rooster said, "No ambush, it's a restriction! That damn place... restricts the age of your bones!"

"Bone age?" Chu Mo looked at the Big Rooster curiously. It was his first time hearing this term too.

"Yes, you can fake your appearance. For example, all these old things in the innate realm, despite being ages old, insist on looking like they're about thirty," the Big Rooster glanced at Chu Mo, "Your master must've lived thousands of years... yet he still appears to be in his thirties."

"You dare talk about my Master?" Chu Mo's eyebrows twitched, preparing to get angry.

"I mean no disrespect to your Master." The Big Rooster quickly explained, genuinely afraid of this kid turning hostile because it had placed its hopes in Chu Mo.

Chu Mo glanced at the Big Rooster and said calmly, "In the future, do not drag my master into anything."

"Got it." The Big Rooster nodded awkwardly. Then it said, "One can fake their appearance, but they can't fake their bone age. Bone age is like the rings of a tree. Some trees grow quickly and get thick within a decade; others grow slowly and even after a few hundred years they're only the size of a bowl. Just by looking at the outside, it's hard to tell. But, if you look at the tree rings, you can tell instantly!"

Chu Mo nodded, indicating that he understood.

Continuing, the Big Rooster said, "That place, the Ruins, restricts the bone age to fifty. This really is a bit unfair..."

"You're not a human anyway." Chu Mo said indifferently, countering the Big Rooster's earlier disrespect towards his master.

The Big Rooster rolled his eyes: "My bone age has long exceeded this limit, so I can't get in. Hmph, if I'm not wrong, the Four Great Sects probably haven't gained much from the Ruins over the years. They're trying to cast a wider net, involving as many people as they can. After all, even if they die... it's not their own people dying. But if someone manages to succeed, then they would've profited!"

Chu Mo sneered: "Do they think everyone else is an idiot? Would people really report how much they've gained? Wouldn't they hide it?"

The Big Rooster looked seriously at Chu Mo and shook his head: "You're too naive. What are the Four Great Sects? To this world, the Four Great Sects are gods from high above! Their words are laws that must be obeyed! Anyone who tries to play tricks in front of the Four Great Sects is bound to die horribly. Moreover, that place, the Ruins, is very peculiar – anything like storage rings or storage bracelets... can't be brought in."

"Why?"

"The specific reason is unclear. Based on my judgement, after the Ruins fell into the Mortal Realm, it must've formed its own realm, an independent space, and developed a consciousness of its on, rejecting any other spaces." The Big Rooster speculated, "Because a storage ring... is also a kind of space."

While speaking, the Big Rooster looked up at Chu Mo: "However, perhaps you'll be the exception! The Sky Mirror you possess is one of the top divine artifacts in Heaven and Earth. I guess the Ruins might not reject your Sky Mirror! Therefore, if you make it to the Ruins, you'll be the only one... who can cheat! But don't you perform too well, otherwise, if people find out you've gained too much, the Four Great Sects will definitely force you to give up all your treasures. More importantly... they might discover your Sky Mirror. If that happens, you would've gained nothing but lost everything."

Being responsible, the Big Rooster detailed everything about the Ruins to Chu Mo.

In the end, Chu Mo looked at the Big Rooster: "Ok, you've said so much; you must have a motive. Spill it."

"Let's go for a walk." Unexpectedly, the Big Rooster didn't bring up its request right away, but spoke in a somewhat disappointed tone about wanting to go out and walk around.

Chu Mo looked at the Big Rooster with doubt but didn't refuse. He'd told He Xu earlier that he would be in seclusion, and a few days had passed, it was time to show his face.

Subsequently, Chu Mo, bringing the Big Rooster and the puppy along, strolled out of the army camp.

Along the way, everyone who saw Chu Mo all bowed respectfully, addressing him as Your Majesty King of Chu.

Strictly speaking, Chu Mo's kingship had not been made public yet, but the miners turned soldiers all felt that calling Chu Mo as such was appropriate. After correcting them several times to no avail, Chu Mo just let them be.

This, in fact, was these soldier's way of expressing their affection for him.

Others who wanted to address him thus, hadn't earned the right yet!

Seeing Chu Mo emerge, He Xu rushed over immediately, and trotted over to Chu Mo, saluting, "Your Majesty, when are we going to take action? I've obtained all the detailed information on the Tiger Head Army, and the Tiger Head Army seems to be alert, they might realize our existence at any moment."

Chu Mo nodded, "Tomorrow, we'll... launch an attack on the Tiger Head Army!"

He Xu's spirits rose, he loudly declared, "Alright, I will prepare immediately!" Saying this, he left immediately and hurriedly.

Looking at Chu Mo, the Big Rooster spoke through telepathy: "See? This is a person truly suited to the battlefield, kid... you, are not!"

Chu Mo didn't deny anything, he took the Big Rooster to a nearby hill, and found a bluestone to sit on. Looking at the Big Rooster, he asked, "Was there something you had to talk about outside?"

Looking at Chu Mo, the Big Rooster said: "The great Rooster wants to talk about its past. The army camp... I don't really like it. Wanted to find a place without others."

The puppy jumped onto the bluestone, and honest as ever, lay down next to Chu Mo.

The Big Rooster glanced at the puppy and grumbled: "This piece of dog luck, the great Rooster's secret... isn't for just anyone to hear."

The puppy lifted its head and looked at the Big Rooster disdainfully. Despite the inability to speak and its intelligence being sealed, instinctively, it showed a repulsive attitude towards the Big Rooster.

Ignoring this little piece of crap dog, the Big Rooster looked at Chu Mo and said: "Your master was very insightful. He realized I'm the Phecda! Yet he doesn't know the meaning of Phecda."

"More delicious when stewed?" Chu Mo asked, looking at the Big Rooster.
