The First Immortal of Destiny

On the fifth day after Shen Mo returned to Chong’a Mountain, Chen Mengze came out of her seclusion and immediately visited GuanYun Mansion.

Through his five senses and [Method Eye Candle Wisp], Shen Mo found that her Dao Body was increasingly becoming an Ice Spirit Body. But there were subtle differences compared to the Ice Spirit Body described in the ancient Manuals, which was somewhat puzzling.

However, the enhancement of her Talent greatly accelerated her cultivation speed. Over a decade had passed, and she had already stepped into the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm, a progress that could be described as rapid compared to the past!

Even Zhao Lingyin, who was not lacking in High-grade Elixirs, had only cultivated to Layer VII of the Spirit Sea Realm, falling far behind Chen Mengze. Of course, this was also related to Zhao Lingyin’s obsession with the Alchemy Path and her neglect of cultivation. Compared to others in the Spirit Sea Realm within the sect, Zhao Lingyin still belonged to the fastest-advancing group.

Being scrutinized by Shen Mo, a hint of vexation appeared on Chen Mengze’s face. She exhaled a frosty breath onto his face. Shen Mo shivered, then smiled awkwardly. He retracted his sense, stopped probing her Destiny, and personally brewed a pot of Enlightenment Tea as an apology.

”Senior Sister Chen, this Enlightenment Tea is a top-grade spiritual tea I obtained from the immortal sect in the Heaven Patrolling Zone, produced by a ten-thousand-year spiritual tea tree. Even Heavenly Monarchs in the Divine Bridge Realm who frequently drink this tea can benefit their cultivation somewhat.”

”Now that your Core Formation is imminent, take this tea and use it. It can help perfect the transformation of your Essence and Qi, improving the quality of your Core Formation...”

Shen Mo took out the Enlightenment Tea he had prepared in advance, along with a collection of Elixirs, exotic treasures, and other spiritual items, and handed them all to her.

If it were anyone else, Chen Mengze would have refused. However, since it was Shen Mo’s goodwill, she did not make further objections and accepted these precious resources.

Subsequently, Chen Mengze looked around and, seeing no one, waved her hand to conjure a screen of thin cold smoke. She abruptly moved close to Shen Mo and passed a cool breath to him.

”Hmm…”

As the cool breath entered his mouth, it instantly turned into a warmth that spread throughout Shen Mo’s limbs and organs. His Essence and Qi silently strengthened considerably, and the quality of the Golden Core in his body improved slightly.

When Chen Mengze had forcefully broken into the Mountain River Valley, she had used this method, so Shen Mo knew this was a breath of ”nature Qi”.

However, he had thought that once this ”nature Qi” was lost, it would not regenerate. It seemed he had misunderstood. The nature Qi Chen Mengze passed into his mouth today contained even more potent mystical power than the last time, and the benefits it brought him far exceeded the previous instance!

A moment later, Chen Mengze sat back in her original place as if nothing had happened, though the blush on her cheeks and neck still betrayed her inner shyness.

”This is one of the miraculous effects produced by my practice of the ’Pure Jade Mantra’.

”Every so often, I can refine a breath of nature Qi, which brings no benefit to my own cultivation.

”On the contrary, it’s more akin to a technique that primarily benefits others’ cultivation, with effects not inferior to the legendary Immortal Spirit Qi!

”However, if I want to pass it to another, it can only be done mouth-to-mouth, as we just did. It cannot be preserved by any means, or it will immediately dissipate into the heavens and earth...”

After seeing Chen Mengze off, Shen Mo immediately entered his Cultivation Secret Chamber for seclusion, focusing on digesting the benefits brought by this nature Qi.

When he awoke from his cultivation, a look of joy involuntarily surfaced on his face. With the help of Senior Sister Chen’s nature Qi, the quality of the Chaotic Yuan One Qi Pill in my body has improved quite a bit. I should be able to step into the late-stage Golden Core Realm even more quickly!

Furthermore, Chen Mengze hadn’t said everything, but the implicit meaning in her words was quite clear.

Because of the unique method of transferring the nature Qi, Chen Mengze would not give this ”opportunity” to anyone else, only to Shen Mo.

Thus, Shen Mo had a complete opportunity to enhance the quality of his Golden Core to the supreme grade before establishing the Divine Bridge. His subsequent cultivation speed would also be much faster than he had originally anticipated!

Indeed, the opportunity reciprocated by Chen Mengze was worth far more than the many spiritual items Shen Mo had gifted her.

What kind of existence is Death Jaw, after all?

Senior Sister Chen obtained the Pure Jade Mantra from it, while I received the True Immortal Magic and the mutation of the Soul Refining Flag. Both are incredibly mystical and beyond ordinary imagination.

Unfortunately, the Ghost Nation Ruins seems to have become a forbidden land, patrolled by terrifying entities. Visiting it again will not be so easy...

Once I establish the Divine Bridge, I must go back to investigate. Firstly, to determine if Patriarch Feng is alive or dead, and secondly, to see if I can encounter Death Jaw again!

Not long after finishing this period of cultivation, Mi, who had returned to Fairy Flower Valley, contacted Shen Mo through a communication method.

Immediately, he flew towards Fairy Flower Valley as an escaping light and landed about fifty miles away.

In a short while, Mi and a Flower Fairy with a peculiar aura walked out of Fairy Flower Valley.

When they came closer, Shen Mo discovered that the ”Flower Fairy” beside Mi, although similar in appearance to Mi, had a body woven from exotic flowers and herbs, somewhat resembling the puppet techniques of the cultivation world!

”Moro Shen, Moro Shen, she is Big Moro Yao...” Mi naturally landed on Shen Mo’s shoulder, tugging at his hair, and chattered as she introduced them.

Before returning to Chong’a Mountain, Shen Mo had sent Mi back to Fairy Flower Valley. In addition, Gold Man Tai 26 had also left on his own accord, returning to the forbidden land of the Gold Man tribe.

Before parting, Shen Mo had asked Mi to relay his intention to visit a Big Moro in Fairy Flower Valley, which led to today’s meeting.

This Flower Fairy, Big Moro, was clearly not her true body but an Incarnation of plants and trees condensed by a Spell. However, since Shen Mo was seeking her help, he naturally wouldn’t fuss over such trivial matters.

”Big Moro Yao, may you have boundless blessings and longevity!” Shen Mo quickly paid his respects to this Class-V Flower Fairy.

Flower Fairy A Yao returned the courtesy with a smile and explained, ”Shen, I hope you understand that I’m currently unable to leave Fairy Flower Valley and thus have to greet you in this Incarnation. I hope you won’t take offense.”

She spoke in human language, unlike other creatures from the Outer Zone who typically communicated in their native tongues accompanied by a trace of Divine Sense. This surprised Shen Mo and also made him feel a sense of affinity.

She still cannot leave the forbidden land. It must be because she has to resist the assimilation force of the Primordial Realm’s world, to prevent the forbidden land from collapsing and herself from being Daoized...

Shen Mo’s thoughts whirled as fast as lightning before he stated his purpose.

That is, he was hoping that Big Moro Yao or another Class-V Flower Fairy could guard him when he was establishing his Divine Bridge, protecting him against an assassination attempt by Lin Zhaozai, the Evil Monarch!

Flower Fairy A Yao did not immediately refuse. She explained her predicament to Shen Mo: neither she nor the other Flower Fairy Big Moros could currently leave Fairy Flower Valley. They would have to wait another ten years before they could move about in the Outer Realm.

”No problem! I still need a few more years before I can reach the late-stage Golden Core Realm.”

”In ten years, if all goes well, my Cultivation Realm should be at the peak of the Golden Core Realm or slightly below it. That should be in time.”
