Chapter 839 - 928 Discussion

After staying with the Nangong Family for two more days, Chen Mo and the two sisters boarded the Spiritual Boat and returned to the Shenxiao Sect.

This journey, whether for Chen Mo or for the two sisters, was very satisfying.

The sisters no longer had to endure the pressure from their family. In the future, as long as they worked hard on their cultivation and followed in Chen Mo’s footsteps, they could live a life of rising and resting with the sun.

Upon Chen Mo’s return to the Shenxiao Sect,

a piece of news about the Direct Disciple Competition spread within the Sect.

The so-called Direct Disciple Competition is a tradition left by the Shenxiao Sect, aimed at encouraging competition and mutual improvement among Direct Disciples.

Some people, after becoming Direct Disciples of the Shenxiao Sect, became complacent due to having no worry about cultivation resources, not needing to be concerned about their status, and being flattered by many disciples.

For this reason, the Shenxiao Sect holds Direct Disciple Competitions every so often to test the strength of each Direct Disciple, setting an example for Outer Sect disciples and outside disciples.

Furthermore, looking back at the previous Sect Leaders of the Shenxiao Sect, each one has almost always been the first among the Direct Disciples.

Therefore, if one achieves first place among the Direct Disciples, there is a very high possibility of succeeding as the Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect.

Rumor also has it that Sect Leader Dao Feizi is about to break through, hinting at an intention to step down from his position.

In past Direct Disciple Competitions, Zhou Yang always came first, and in the hearts of many disciples, Zhou Yang was believed to be able to become the next Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect.

However, following the Dao Alliance assessment, a different voice emerged in the Shenxiao Sect.

They believe that Chen Mo is the one meant to be the next Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect.

Although Zhou Yang is the strongest among all Direct Disciples and is a student of the Supreme Elder, in terms of talent, he is indeed inferior to Chen Mo.

In the Dao Alliance assessment, Chen Mo was tested and found to possess the Three Immortal Body.

This proves that his potential is extremely high.

As long as he doesn’t fall midway, he will definitely become an immortal in the future.

Such a person is undoubtedly more suitable to succeed as Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect.

Even the issue of the Direct Disciple Competition sparked a conflict between Zhou Yang and Chen Mo at that time.

Zhou Yang mockingly said that Chen Mo would only hide behind women.

Chen Mo asked how long Zhou Yang had been cultivating.

Zhou Yang replied, "One thousand one hundred and nineteen years."

Chen Mo then asked, what realm he had reached.

Zhou Yang answered, "Late stage of the Void Realm."

Thus, Chen Mo immediately declared, "If I cultivate for over a thousand years, let alone the Void Realm, even the Unity Realm would be beneath my feet."

At that time, many people did not believe him and took Chen Mo’s words as a joke.

But now, nobody doubts.

After all, Zuoqiu Yiren reached the Unity Realm in less than eight hundred years of cultivation.

Chen Mo, possessing the Three Immortal Body, is clearly more formidable than Zuoqiu Yiren.

This will no longer be an empty statement.

...

On Zhou Yang’s Sword Coming Peak,

"Senior Brother Zhou, Chen Mo possesses the Three Immortal Body and is highly valued by the Dao Alliance and our Sect. Given time, he will surely enter the Unity Realm. When that happens, what will Senior Brother Zhou do?" Long Xiaoyao, sitting by the stone table at the edge of the cliff, looked at Zhou Yang who was painting beside him, glanced at the woman in the painting, and with a playful smirk, continued,

"If Chen Mo were truly a useless Blue Body, perhaps Senior Brother Zhou could have snatched Junior Sister Zhao from him. But now with his reputation of the Three Immortal Body spreading, the Primordial Heaven will surely be filled with outstanding women throwing themselves at him. It seems hardly possible for Senior Brother Zhou to take the beauty, and not only that, even the next Sect Leader position might be snatched by Chen Mo..."

"Bang!"

As he spoke those words, a sudden force struck Long Xiaoyao, sending him flying.

However, the heavy injuries Zhou Yang imagined did not materialize; Long Xiaoyao stabilized himself steadily and looked at Zhou Yang, saying, "Why is Senior Brother Zhou so angry? I wasn’t wrong."

"Scram." Zhou Yang was unwilling to waste words with him, directly uttering a single word with a cold voice.

Zhou Yang was not a fool; he could hear that Long Xiaoyao was trying to provoke enmity between him and Chen Mo.

To get him to deal with Chen Mo.

Zhou Yang is a smart person, and naturally, he would not be swayed by Long Xiaoyao’s trivial talk to act as his pawn.

Long Xiaoyao did not obediently leave, but instead said, "Is Senior Brother Zhou planning to give up on Junior Sister Zhao? Senior Brother Zhou should know, as long as Chen Mo is alive, Junior Sister Zhao will never part from him."

"Rather than worrying about my affairs with Junior Sister Zhao, you should worry about yourself. As far as I know, you were found out for inciting others in the Dao Alliance to spread rumors about Chen Mo, and perhaps Chen Mo knows too. With how the Sect holds him as a Grandmaster, he could kill you in front of an Elder, and nothing would happen to him," Zhou Yang said.

Long Xiaoyao’s face darkened.

How could he not know that the minor character he once dismissed had now become a serious threat to him?

If Chen Mo truly found out that it was him who orchestrated the rumors in the Dao Alliance, Chen Mo definitely wouldn’t let him go.

Thus, between the two of them, one must die.

This was why Long Xiaoyao was in such a hurry to find Zhou Yang.

However, Zhou Yang didn’t want to get involved in the matters between Long Xiaoyao and Chen Mo. Before Long Xiaoyao left, he said, "If you want to live, the Direct Disciple Competition is your only chance."

...

The Direct Disciple Competition is still far off for Chen Mo.

The Direct Disciple Competition is held once every ten years.

There’s still about four years until the next one begins.

On Yong’an Peak,

During the days Chen Mo was away, Wu Xin’Er and her group had been expanding their living quarters and unearthed a spring.

Upon seeing that the flowing water was warm,

they realized they had dug up a hot spring.

Immediately, they dug a pool on Yong’an Peak and filled it with the spring water.

Wu Xin’Er, with her strong hands-on skills, added a circulation system to the pool.

After bathing, the hot spring water can be replaced in time.

In the hot spring pool,

Xiao Yunxi, Ye Wanqiu, Qi Nichang, Zhao Qianyi, Zhao Jiangning, and Ji Xi’Er soaked within, their graceful curves faintly visible through the thin gauze, still alluring in the water.

Xiao Yunxi was once the Empress of Zhao Ji, while Ye Wanqiu, Qi Nichang, and Ji Xi’Er were his former consorts, Zhao Jiangning was Zhao Ji’s daughter, and Zhao Qianyi was Zhao Ji’s sister.

But now, five of them were soaking in the hot spring pool, each as Chen Mo’s woman, leaving the thin-skinned Ye Wanqiu somewhat embarrassed.

Xiao Yunxi lazily opened her beautiful eyes, glanced at Ye Wanqiu, and said, "Speaking of which, Wanqiu, how did you get together with Prince Zhen Nan, and Nichang, I remember Prince Zhen Nan had no chance of interacting with you at Weiyang Palace."

Ye Wanqiu blushed but said nothing.

Qi Nichang, with her white as jade hands stirring the water, hesitated slightly before saying, "Speaking of which, this matter started with me. At that time, I was not favored in the palace and was quite annoyed, and it was Wanqiu’s tabby cat that annoyed me. I threw the cat into the lake, and it was my husband who saved it..."
