Heaven Slaying Blade

Chapter 400: Shocking the Hearts


"Leave this world?" Everyone looked at Chu Mo in surprise.

Fan Wudi glared at Chu Mo and said, "Kid, what nonsense are you talking about? Are you drunk without even drinking?"

Nayi's enchanting eyes fell on Chu Mo, a sparkle flickering in her pupils, as if she was contemplating something deep inside.

Xu Fufu said, "If there really is such an opportunity, it's definitely worth a try!"

Wang Dafa's corners of the mouth twitched slightly, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. In self-deprecation, he said, "People like me, able to ensure a life of wealth and fulfil some ambitions in this world, that itself is already a happy thing. As for leaving this world, I dare not even think about it."

Chu Yan, who always had a blind trust in Chu Mo, whispered, "If it's possible, wherever brother goes, Yan'er wants to follow."

Everyone knew Chu Yan was Chu Mo's adopted sister, but what was even clearer was that Chu Yan had affectionate feelings for Chu Mo.

Otherwise, how could she willingly take Chu Mo's place, and conquer the swathes of land for Chu Kingdom? And how could she immediately relinquish all her powers the minute Chu Mo returned?

Worldly desires stir people's hearts. Where does "name" come from?

"Holding the power of the world"... This is the greatest "name"!

But Chu Yan didn't care about it, and she easily gave up. It shows that she doesn't care about "name" and has no ambition for power; as for "profit"... What Chu Kingdom snatched from Great Qi wasn't just land, but also loads of wealth!

And Chu Yan never touched these riches. All of it... was dedicated solely to the national treasury.

The dazzling desires of "name" and "profit", she didn't want them. So, what did she want?

She wanted love!

A romance that belonged to only her, Chu Yan!

But she could replace Chu Mo, and achieve dominance for the Chu Kingdom, yet she couldn't easily fulfill the deepest yearning in her heart.

Indeed, a girl worthy of pity.

Few knew how much Chu Yan envied Nayi's confession of love to Chu Mo deep down.

She didn't dare to speak, to confess, and even to show too much affection for Chu Mo, fearing that others might see it... even though, everyone had noticed it long ago.

But she was still stubborn, not wanting to express it.

She felt she was unworthy!

If it weren't for Chu Mo, she might still be a blade in the queen's hand today, or probably offered as a gift to some bigwig to fulfill the queen's wish...

Chu Mo totally changed her fate, and she wanted to change it even more drastically.

Therefore, when Chu Mo asked this question, others might have some doubts in their hearts, but for Chu Yan, it seemed like a lifeline!

She wouldn't let go, even to the point of death.

Chu Mo glanced at Chu Yan and gave a slight smile.

Immediately, Chu Yan's face turned rosy; her heartbeat quickened, and her mind began to blur.

Chu Mo looked at the nameless eunuch, Mr. Tantai, Mr. Weichi, as well as Xiao Yiyue and several other female disciples from Piaomiao Palace. "And you?"

Mr. Tantai raised his eyebrows. "My biggest wish in this life is to step into the Innate Realm, to pursue the supreme Heavenly Dao and become a true cultivator. You see... for this ideal, I even abandoned Great Xia and followed the palace master here. Therefore, if such an opportunity truly exists, I think, I wouldn't miss it."

Mr. Weichi chuckled. "The achievements I have today are all owed to the palace master's immense kindness, which is already hard to repay. So, why not owe some more and make it a lifelong endeavor to repay them?"

Mr. Tantai and the eunuch referred to the palace master, clearly recognizing their identity as the deputy palace master of Piaomiao Palace. In other words, they acknowledged Chu Mo as their leader!

The nameless old eunuch smacked his lips and said, "I am just a eunuch, and no matter how much I cultivate, that thing won't grow back...but...if there's a chance to pursue the elusive Heavenly Dao and become a true cultivator, I'd definitely want to give it a try."

The eunuch's words made the women present blush a bit, but no one laughed because it was the truth.

However, Chu Mo laughed. "I've heard that when you cultivate to a certain realm, you'll get the chance to re-form your body. By then...you never know...hee hee."

The old eunuch's eyes lit up instantly, looking at Chu Mo. "Palace Master, you mustn't trick me... anticipation followed by disappointment isn't fun."

Chu Mo laughed and said, "I'm not fooling you. It's just that you have to genuinely cultivate to that realm!"

The old eunuch chuckled, "When it comes to innate talent and effort in cultivation, I admit my talent is inferior, but when it comes to effort... I won't lose to anybody!"

Chu Mo's gaze swept over the others. "What about you guys? Do you want to be big shots in the mortal world, or insignificant ones on the path of cultivation?"

This question was not easy to answer.

Even though it seems like the journey of cultivation offering longevity and immortality should be a no-brainer and that everyone... would choose this path.

But that's not the case.

If longevity were so easy to attain, how could the saying, 'The path to becoming an immortal is elusive, stepping on it leads to no return', be passed down?

Cultivation is a very painful process in itself. It's not only dull and difficult, but also full of various unimaginable crises.

These crises can be natural disasters or man-made calamities.

In short, it's like the world of martial arts. You don't have control of your fate in the world of martial arts, and the same goes for the path of cultivation.

The others fell silent, reflecting on it.

Chu Mo suddenly laughed. "Well, there's no rush to answer this question. When the right time comes, it'll not be too late to decide. After all, not everyone can easily step onto the path of cultivation."

Fan Wudi laughed and scolded, "What exactly are you trying to say, kid?"

Chu Mo took a deep breath and said, "There's a place where your cultivation can rapidly improve..."

"How fast?" Mr. Tantai suddenly looked up at Chu Mo and asked.

"Are you currently at the mid-stage of the Enlightening Heart Realm, sir?" Chu Mo asked.

Mr. Tantai nodded. "Thanks to you for curing my injury, otherwise, being able to maintain the Understanding Heart Realm without falling...would be considered good."

"That's something from the past, and it was just a matter of lifting a finger." Chu Mo waved his hand. "If you go to that place, I can ensure that within a year, you will step into the Innate Realm!"

"What? Reach the Innate Realm in a year? How...how is that possible?" Despite being accustomed to the various miracles that happened to this young man, Mr. Tantai still found Chu Mo's words hard to believe.

"One year from the Enlightening Heart Realm to the Heavenly Heart Realm... and then to the Innate Realm? This...this isn't possible, right?" Everyone looked at Chu Mo in astonishment.

Chu Mo just gave a faint smile and blatantly said, "Within three years, I guarantee, sir, you can ascend to the Spirit Realm after surviving the tribulation!"

"..." Mr. Tantai felt dizzy, looking at Chu Mo in shock, he was completely at a loss for words. (To be continued... If you like this work, please come to qidian.com to vote for recommendation, monthly ticket. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
