Qi Xiaoyu's eyes fell on the message board, expressing utter shock; she froze on the spot.

"Miss… what happened?" The elf girl was looking at Qi Xiaoyu with some concern.

"Nothing. I need to deal with something. You go on." Qi Xiaoyu said, put away the message board, and hurriedly left to her own room.

She didn't look at the content on the message board immediately, but sat there gently stroking her own chest.

She was frightened and even found it hard to believe what she had seen. Therefore, she needed to calm herself down first.

That person died right before her eyes years ago, vanished into thin air. Considering his level back then, how could he survive?

Qi Xiaoyu felt she must have been mistaken, or perhaps… the message was one he had sent before?

No… Impossible!

That man had only ever posted one message under the name of 'Blue Sky as Dark as Ink'.

About her.

After that, the name completely disappeared from the message board, leaving no trace behind.

Qi Xiaoyu sat there for a long time, then picked up the message board with somewhat trembling hands, and looked closely.

That message was still there.

But additional responses seemed to have appeared below.

"This is quite simple. You probably haven't experienced this kind of thing, haha." This person snidely declared it simple but didn't explain further.

Qi Xiaoyu frowned, muttered under her breath: "Jerk!"

She continued to read.

"What you're talking about seems a bit like a curse or something. It's a curse that can find the murderer no matter how far they move away if the one the curse is placed on dies. This method is not very clever and is seldomly used due to how easily it can be broken. Why don't you give me a top-grade Heavenly Crystal, and I'll tell you in person, trade upfront, guaranteed!" This seemed like a response but was clearly a greedy attempt to make a profit.

Qi Xiaoyu raised an eyebrow, angrily retorted: "Obsessed with money, aren't we?"

Having composed herself, Qi Xiaoyu saw another reply underneath, which seemed far more reliable.

"This is a kind of technique, not a divine ability, called the Child-Mother Spell, typically used on those closest to the caster. This method is quite common in the Spirit Realm and the Immortal Realm. Almost none utilize this method in the Heavenly Realm due it being so easily dissolved. All you need to do is this… The friend above is too much, charging a top-grade Heavenly Crystal for such a simple thing, aren't you mad with greed?"

The person responding wrote the method of dissolution on there. It was just a short spell.

The one who previously tried to swindle a top-grade Heavenly Crystal possibly never thought the person posting the message would fall for it. After being exposed, he only replied with two words.

"Heh heh."

Qi Xiaoyu glanced at the spell. Although she was unsure if the spell was correct, she believed the other party wouldn't lie about it.

At this point, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Murmuring: "Could it be that he didn't die back then? So he is... in the Spirit Realm now? Should... should I go and find him?"

As Qi Xiaoyu spoke, a flash of melancholy crossed her eyes, silently thinking to herself: I shouldn't go find him, otherwise, he would definitely get involved. The enemy I am facing is not something he can handle. Regardless of whether the elder's prophecy is right or wrong, I don't want him to get involved again.

Just then, Qi Xiaoyu suddenly saw that 'Blue Sky as Dark as Ink' had replied again to the person who had taught him how to break the spell!

"Thank you, friend. I tried the spell, and it worked. I can clearly feel the karmic thread breaking!"

"He really is alive!" Qi Xiaoyu's eyes became remarkably bright, and then, misted over with tears.

"That's wonderful," she murmured softly.

Then, she calmed down and muttered: "It's better if I bear it alone. It's enough to know he is alive!"

As she spoke, a relieved smile appeared on her typically cold face. But the tears in her eyes became increasingly apparent.

She dreamed of him countless times, revisiting fragmented memories.

She missed him.

...

Chu Mo was indeed very happy. He didn't expect to get answers immediately after asking for help on the message board.

The spell was indeed effective, and instantly severed the force of karma on him. Moreover, it wasn't just one... but three!

Which means, out of the five Gold Core cultivators who were obliterated by the Heavenly Tribulation, three had this spell on them!

Chu Mo was indeed astonished, secretly thankful that only one person came this time. If three Primordial Infants had come, even if he could trigger the Heavenly Tribulation, he would definitely not stand a chance.

Furthermore, these people were extraordinary, possessing dharma instruments far surpassing those in the Spirit Realm!

It was knowledge far superior to that of the Spirit Realm that allowed Chu Mo to effortlessly break the curse of the Versatile Taoist.

Don't underestimate that short spell. To countless cultivators in the Spirit Realm, it's an incredibly profound art!

This is about perspective and knowledge. Just like a wise man who has never set foot outside his mountain village, his wisdom would quickly fall short upon entering the big city, because he has neither seen nor experienced this before.

Therefore, Chu Mo was well aware of his advantage.

But what about the dharma instruments on Zhao Qing and today's man?

Zhao Qing's was a bit lacking, and in the end was still obliterated by Chu Mo using the Heavenly Tribulation. But the dharma instrument on today's man was definitely a real treasure!

Moreover, it was an offensive dharma instrument!

Not everyone possesses such an instrument even in the Heavenly Realm, let alone the Spirit Realm.

If the man today hadn't had that dharma instrument with him, he wouldn't have been able to withstand that horrifying Heavenly Tribulation and would have turned to dust long ago.

"Could it be that the Blood Demon Sect… is a sect with far-reaching connections?" Chu Mo's wariness towards the Blood Demon Sect had escalated tremendously.

Now that he had broken the opponent's spell and severed the connection, Chu Mo felt relieved. He was thinking whether the man would have already noticed the connection being severed and would be waiting for him in Jinxiu City.

With a moment's hesitation, Chu Mo used the Disguise Technique to change his appearance into a slightly dark-skinned young man in his early twenties.

After that, he headed towards Jinxiu City using the Shrinking Ground into Inches technique. In just a moment, he had traveled thousands of miles.

As Chu Mo was traveling, he suddenly noticed a woman in a palace dress in front of him. She had a good figure and was quite tall. From her silhouette, she seemed to be a beautiful woman. She was standing in the wilderness as if searching for something.

Chu Mo noticed her just as she noticed him.

Seeing Chu Mo, the woman in the palace dress was momentarily stunned. Then, a trace of confusion crossed her eyes, and she called out: "Young man, could you… possibly help me?"
