Chu Mo frowned at the severed arm on the ground, thinking to himself, was the opponent in such a hurry to take this arm away simply to reattach it? As he pondered, his gaze landed on the fingers of the severed arm. There was a dark ring sitting there.

"Could it be because of this?" Chu Mo chuckled, thinking it was amusing that the opponent had worn a storage ring on their hand.

Chu Mo walked over, removed the ring directly and then tried to open it with his mental power. Unexpectedly, the seal on the ring was strong and not easily broken.

Considering this, Chu Mo put the ring away for the time being, planning to try to open it when he had more time.

Afterwards, Chu Mo found a place in order to heal himself first. Even though he had defeated his opponent and made them flee, Chu Mo had also suffered a lot. If it weren't for the power of his ancestral realm body and the constant strength from the Five Elements Dao Foundation, he probably would have already fallen.

Through this battle, Chu Mo had gained a full understanding of the strength of the Five Elements Dao Foundation.

With just the initial stage of Golden Elixir Realm, he could actually compete on equal terms with a Primordial Infant cultivator who was an entire realm ahead of him.

This was not the case for an innate versus Foundation Establishment cultivator. Although Foundation Establishment cultivators were many times stronger than innate ones, they were, after all, just starting on the path of cultivation. Many times, they had not completely left their martial combat instincts behind.

But a Primordial Infant cultivator was completely different. They were true experts!

Having abilities that could reach the sky and go through the earth, Primordial Infant cultivators were the top existence in the whole Spirit Realm.

Having reached this realm, whether it be their power, the proficiency of their techniques, the strength of their physical body, or their combat consciousness, they would easily leave behind cultivators of the Foundation Establishment or Golden Elixir Realm by miles.

So, a Golden Elixir cultivator versus a Primordial Infant cultivator was much more difficult than an innate versus a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Normally, a Golden Elixir cultivator could never defeat a Primordial Infant cultivator.

"No wonder those Heavenly Geniuses in the Heavenly Realm are so desperate to pursue the Daoist Realm body. The families behind them, even if they face extreme difficulties, will still provide them with cultivation materials of at least perfect quality... It's really different!" Chu Mo sighed internally.

Life is inherently unfair.

Are innate geniuses in the Mortal Realm really much less talented than descendants of big clans in the Heavenly Realm? Not necessarily... Some of them might even be more talented than those Heavenly Geniuses in the Heavenly Realm.

But that doesn't matter!

Those Heavenly Geniuses in the Heavenly Realm begin cultivating through various methods even before their birth. After birth, an unfathomable amount of resources are poured into them, increasing their starting point by countless folds.

Otherwise, there would not be so many powerful cultivators in the Mahayana or Ascension Stage in their twenties in the Heavenly Realm.

Even more horrifying are those who have stepped into the Daluo Jinxian Realm or even higher at that age.

This is the result of differences in birth, environment, and resources.

In contrast, most of the genius youth in the Mortal Realm may not even become martial artists in their lifetime!

Because they simply do not have such an environment or opportunity!

And their families would not understand the terrifying potential of their children.

"I always felt unfortunate, never having seen my parents. But now that I think about it, I am luckier than everyone else!" Chu Mo murmured, "Even the most extraordinary geniuses in the Heavenly Realm...do not have an ancestral realm body, let alone the Five Elements Dao Foundation."

Chu Mo was not being complacent. He was merely moved. His path might have been full of obstacles, even crises at times, but overall, he was luckier than everyone else by quite a bit!

"Now that I have stepped onto the Golden Elixir Dao, I need to transform my elixir into an infant as quickly as possible! Once I reach the Primordial Infant Realm, I will have enough strength to protect those around me. I will also then have the qualification and meaning to search for her."

Chu Mo knew that finding Xiaoyu now would be meaningless.

Because his strength was not sufficient to stand by Xiaoyu's side and protect her.

"Wait for me, I will definitely reach that realm as soon as possible and then... I will come to see you!" Chu Mo released a long breath, hastily treated his wounds, and then began adjusting his breath for cultivation.

One day later.

Chu Mo returned to Jinxiu City.

However, he did not immediately return to the Lu Family, instead heading in the direction of the west city.

At this moment, Chu Mo had restored the appearance of Lu Tianming. He wanted to quietly visit the Jin Family.

No matter what, the Jin Family was one of the first to treat him with courtesy when he first entered Jinxiu City.

Before he arrived at the Jin Family's place, Chu Mo felt a murderous aura emanating from the western part of Jinxiu City. He frowned, thinking: could something have happened to the Jin family at this time?

Pondering this, Chu Mo sped up his pace. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the front gate of the Jin Family.

There, a large crowd had gathered.

Chu Mo instantly recognized a familiar stranger in the crowd.

Wang Wu!

It was the shameless man who had exchanged his childhood sweetheart for cultivation materials!

Chu Mo had learned about Wang Wu's actions not long ago from idle conversation with Lu Tianyue. He had felt a bit regretful at the time. He could still remember when he and Big Rooster first arrived in the Spirit Realm and encountered that caravan.

Not much time had passed since then but it felt like so much had changed.

The three great families of Jinxiu City were going through dramatic changes, and he... had rapidly stepped onto the Golden Elixir Dao from being an innate martial artist.

"Everyone is changing," Chu Mo thought as he watched Wang Wu, who was exuding the aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, from afar, "Even if he's despicable, it was his choice. But... why is he showing off so smugly in front of the Jin Family's gate at this time?"

Watching Jin Ming, it seemed as if he had lost his once high-spirited demeanor and appeared to be extremely dispirited, revealing the severity of the blow he had suffered from his father's death.

"There's nothing to say. The humiliation I faced at the Jin Family, you must pay back to me today twofold!" Wang Wu coldly said to Jin Ming who stood in front of him, "Also, hand over Fang Lan! I know she's here again. Hmpf... Really interesting. Her words say no, no, but she ran over here on her own accord. Jin Ming... You're quite skillful! But... you'd better start praying you haven't laid a finger on her. Otherwise, no one can save you!"

"Shut up!" Jin Ming's face turned white with anger, he didn't even feel the urge to curse at the person in front of him.

This person is a downright villain, a shameless wretch without a shred of decency!

Jin Ming has seen a fair share of shameless people throughout his life, but no one like Wang Wu.

What makes Jin Ming secretly wary are the people standing beside Wang Wu. He can't tell their depth but they don't seem to be weak. Most importantly, these people seem... to be following Wang Wu's orders!
