We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real? - Chapter 310: But What We Kill Are Gods!

The day after the Grand Hunt, the Qin Kingdom palace sent people to deliver Xiao Mo’s rewards.

After mother and son gave thanks, Xiao Mo had wanted to use this large sum of money to let his mother buy some jewelry and new clothes but Zhou Ruoxi put the gold away, planning to save it for her son’s future wedding.

As for the fine silk, Zhou Ruoxi gave Cuicui two bolts and planned to use the rest to make clothes for Xiao Mo.

After learning his mother’s intentions, Xiao Mo tried persuading her for a long time.

Only then did Zhou Ruoxi reluctantly agree to use this silk to make two garments for herself.

Regarding his mother’s frugality, Xiao Mo knew that no matter how much more he tried to persuade her, it would be useless. This was already Mother’s greatest concession.

Perhaps only after he achieved some accomplishments in the future would Mother truly be generous to herself.

After the Grand Hunt ended, Xiao Mo naturally returned to his daily routine.

When Huang Shan learned Xiao Mo had hammered a Pale Moon Wolf to death, he wasn’t particularly surprised.

After all, regarding his disciple’s talent and strength, Huang Shan understood them best.

“Your battle with the Pale Moon Wolf can be considered a blessing in disguise. It made your realm even more solid, your blood qi even more vigorous, and gave you awareness between life and death. Now you can attempt Foundation Building.

But kid, Master needs to make this clear to you. No matter how high a person’s talent is, when breaking through realms, there will always be certain risks. Success isn’t guaranteed.

If you fail, at best your realm will shatter and you’ll never be able to advance further in this life. At worst, your body will perish and your Dao will vanish, leaving this world.

So how about it? Do you still dare attempt Foundation Building?”

Huang Shan stroked his beard and asked Xiao Mo.

“Master said that cultivation is like rowing upstream. If you don’t advance, you retreat. If this disciple didn’t dare, Master wouldn’t have taken me as a disciple.” Xiao Mo said firmly.

“Hahahaha! Good!” Huang Shan nodded with satisfaction, “Tomorrow morning, I’ll come to your courtyard to get you.”

“Alright, Master. However, Master, regarding my Foundation Building, could you please not tell my mother first?” Xiao Mo requested.

Huang Shan was stunned for a moment and quickly understood the kid’s meaning, “Don’t worry. Tomorrow Master will say I’m taking you out to spar with others and practice fist techniques.”

“Thank you, Master.”

Xiao Mo cupped his fists in courtesy, only then feeling completely at ease.

Otherwise, if Mother knew he was going to break through realms, Mother would worry for a long time again.

The next morning, Huang Shan came to the outside of Xiao Mo’s courtyard.

Huang Shan told Zhou Ruoxi he wanted to take Xiao Mo to spar with some martial Dao cultivators of similar age.

Zhou Ruoxi didn’t seem to think much of it and agreed readily.

“Mother, then your child will leave first. Your child will definitely go early and return early.” Xiao Mo said to his mother.

“Mm.” Zhou Ruoxi nodded, bent down, and straightened the child’s collar and hem, “Mo’er, remember, be careful in all things. Don’t force yourself.”

“Alright, Mother.” Xiao Mo followed Master and left the courtyard.

Watching her child’s gradually receding back, Zhou Ruoxi bit her thin lip lightly, her small hands unconsciously gripping her sleeves tightly.

“Madam needn’t worry. Young Master is only sparring with others. Nothing will happen.” Seeing the madam’s worried appearance, Cuicui stepped forward to comfort her.

“Yes…” Zhou Ruoxi raised her head, gazing into the distance, “My Mo’er has great fortune and great fate. Nothing will happen… He will definitely succeed…”

Past halfway through the hour of chen, Huang Shan and Xiao Mo arrived at a barren mountain outside the capital city.

At the mountain peak, Huang Shan took out a pot and set it up, then filled it with spring water and added body-tempering medicinal herbs.

“We martial cultivators undergoing tribulation don’t have those flashy procedures like other cultivators. We don’t worship heaven and earth either. If heaven wants to block us, we’ll shatter this heaven with one punch. Why be falsely cordial with the heavenly Dao?”

Huang Shan took a drink of wine.

“And this is your last body tempering at Qi Refinement realm. The purpose is so that even if you fail tribulation, you’ll have a greater chance of preserving your life. Understand?”

“I understand, Master.”

“Good that you understand. Get in.”

“Yes!”

After Xiao Mo jumped into the large pot, Huang Shan started the fire for him.

This final body tempering at Qi Refinement realm, Xiao Mo felt was much more painful than before.

Previously it was the pain of tendons and bones breaking inch by inch but this time, it was like a great mountain crushing you to powder again and again.

Moreover, during this body tempering, Xiao Mo clearly felt these medicinal herbs stimulating the blood qi and spiritual power within his body.

After half an hour, Xiao Mo could no longer suppress his realm and suddenly opened his eyes.

“Boom!”

Above the firmament, dark clouds instantly gathered, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Sounds of thunder rang out from the cloud layers.

“Boom!”

Accompanied by earth-shaking thunder, a bolt of lightning struck straight down at Xiao Mo!

When most Qi Refinement realm cultivators underwent tribulation to enter Foundation Building, facing the lightning tribulation they generally didn’t dare make any resistance, only daring to endure it, because they worried about enraging the heavenly Dao.

But Xiao Mo threw out a punch, as if wanting to compete with heaven and earth!

One incense stick’s time later, the thunder sounds disappeared and the lightning tribulation dissipated.

Above the firmament, the sky was clear and bright.

Below the firmament, Xiao Mo lay on the ground. His clothes were in tatters, his scorched skin peeling off bit by bit, new flesh growing out bit by bit.

“How do you feel?”

Huang Shan walked forward and kicked Xiao Mo’s thigh.

“Not dead…” Xiao Mo coughed a few times, smoke rising from his throat, “It’s just that with disciple looking like this, after returning, I don’t know how to explain to Mother.”

“You kid…” Huang Shan sat cross-legged beside Xiao Mo, sighed, and shook his head, “Do you really think your mother doesn’t know what you came to do?”

Xiao Mo turned his head to look at Huang Shan.

“Your mother, no matter what, is the daughter of Zhuang Kingdom’s Yunhui City Lord. Her perspective cannot be compared to ordinary women’s. She definitely already guessed you were undergoing tribulation today.

It’s just that your mother feared affecting you, so she said nothing.”

Huang Shan rubbed Xiao Mo’s head.

“Kid, you don’t want your mother to worry, but hasn’t your mother been doing the same?”

“…”

Xiao Mo lowered his eyes, momentarily speechless.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Just return openly. Now that you’ve successfully broken through, this is the best comfort for your mother. And since you’ve reached Foundation Building, from today on, Master should also pass on spear techniques to you.”

“Master, what is the name of the spear technique we’re learning?” Xiao Mo asked.

Previously when he kept asking Master about the spear technique, he wouldn’t say a word.

“The name of our lineage’s spear technique has only three characters.”

With a flick of his toe, Huang Shan sent up an ordinary long staff from beside his foot. Then Huang Shan grasped the staff with one hand and pointed forward.

“Boom!”

Two hundred zhang away, a barren mountain shattered halfway, rocks tumbling down.

“Others’ spear techniques—

Kill people.

Kill demons.

Kill ghosts.

But what we kill are gods!”

Huang Shan’s voice reverberated across the mountain peak.

“Therefore… this spear technique is named… God-Slaying Spear!”
