Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

The two stared at each other for a full three seconds before Xia Mengdie suddenly realized it, crying tears of joy, ”Xiao Mo, you’ve woken up!”

”Mm,” Lin Mo nodded. It was then that Xia Mengdie realized she was holding Lin Mo, her cheek pressed against his chest. Even though they were husband and wife, having lost their former memories, Xia Mengdie’s pretty face suddenly turned red, feeling both embarrassed and shy.

”You’re awake...”

Xia Mengdie wasn’t as overexcited or erratic as she had imagined she might be; perhaps in her heart, she had always known that Lin Mo would definitely wake up. However, the arrival of this day brought her a sense of calm and stability.

”Mm.”

Lin Mo nodded. ”Mengdie, do you finally remember me now?”

Faced with Lin Mo’s clear gaze, Xia Mengdie’s pretty face blushed slightly, then she shook her head and said with a frown,

”I’m sorry, I still can’t remember what happened before, but Yao Dou has already told me; I’m your wife, and I will stay by your side.”

Lin Mo furrowed his brows.

He hadn’t expected the Cultivation Technique of Miao Xue Divine Palace to be so powerful as to erase Xia Mengdie’s previous memories.

Thinking this, Lin Mo gritted his teeth, regretting that he had been too lenient when he had killed two Palace Masters of Miao Xue Divine Palace, not letting them experience enough suffering. ”Don’t worry.”

Xia Mengdie, holding Lin Mo’s hand, said, ”Since I’ve forgotten the past, I can stay with you all the time in the future, and we will create more memories. But I’ve done many wrong things during this time, even almost causing your death. I feel very guilty in my heart. Don’t you think I’m a bad woman?”

Lin Mo chuckled and shook his head, ”No, since you have lost your memory, you don’t remember everything, and I won’t blame you for these incidents.”

Xia Mengdie pursed her lips, lovingly looking at Lin Mo, then rested her head on his chest.

Time seemed to stop at that moment, with only the sound of the wind, the scent of sunlight, serene and tranquil.

Lin Mo held Xia Mengdie tightly, a spark of light passing deep within his pupils, ”If it weren’t for you, perhaps I would still be asleep in the endless darkness of space, never to wake up.”

Lin Mo sunk into emptiness, losing himself, but every day he could hear a voice whispering in his ear, those sounds keeping him anchored, preventing him from getting lost in the limitless void.

The two embraced, their hearts drawing infinitely close at that moment.

Cherish each other, cherish this moment, cherish now, cherish the future!

After a long time, Lin Mo and Xia Mengdie left the wooden house, with Yao Dou perched on Xia Mengdie’s shoulder, looking adorably clumsy.

Lin Mo furrowed his brow, ”When I entered the space rift, they were all still in Lobu Lake. We don’t know how long we’ve been here. Yingzi, Sima Zining, and my parents must be worried about us; we need to find a way to leave this place.”

At that moment, Lin Mo surveyed their surroundings and confirmed they were in Immortal City.

The thick Spiritual Energy, the brilliant, colorful sky, the glow of dawn, the various rare Divine Grass and Immortal Fruit, and in the distance, the towering mountains with clouds building up around them created a picturesque scene of an Immortal realm.

The place they were in was also on a mountain’s flat top, surrounded by huge, damaged stone pillars and cracked stone slabs. From these massive pillars and the mysterious rune stone slabs, it was clear that this had once been a very grand architecture.

”Transmission Array.”

Lin Mo stared at the peculiar runes on the ground, the dilapidated stone pillars, stele, and indentations beside it—this was a commonly seen type of transmission array within Sects, also located at the Mountain Gate.

The so-called Immortal City that people from the Heavenly Sect spoke of was merely a more majestic Cultivation Sect that existed in the ancient times.

However, from the ruins here, it seemed that the members of this Sect had all left, leaving behind only a disabled Sect on Earth.

The other peaks in the distance were significantly taller than this one, clearly belonging to various elders within the Sect. The peak where Lin Mo and Xia Mengdie now stood must have also belonged to an elder.

However, to Lin Mo’s surprise, there were no residences for disciples on this peak, nor any place for cultivation or alchemy rooms.

Lin Mo returned to the wooden house and took a thick book from a shelf.

”I have read this book, but there’s nothing in it,” Xia Mengdie said, furrowing her willow leaf eyebrows.

Holding a spell in his hand, Lin Mo cast it onto the book, and immediately, lines of black text appeared on the blank pages, clearly not written in the modern script.

Although Xia Mengdie did not recognize these characters, she could understand the meanings conveyed by them when she saw the text.

”These must be the characters used by ancient cultivators, written with Spiritual Energy and protected by a layer of prohibition. Any cultivator should be able to understand it,” Lin Mo explained.

The two read through the text recorded in the book and learned that this Immortal City was actually a Sect known as the ’True Sect of Luminous Flame,’ and the one who lived here and left behind the book was the son of the Sect Leader, a person named ’Master Li Huo.’

But there wasn’t much description about the matters of the Ancient Cultivation World at that time; most of it was trivial matters within the Sect.

It turned out that Master Li Huo was the son of the previous Sect Leader, but naturally not suited for cultivation. It took him thirty years, even with the support of all kinds of Elixirs from the Sect Leader, to finally enter the Qi Cultivation Stage. He was truly among the most untalented.

Of course, everyone in the Sect, from the elders, protectors, Hall Masters, to disciples, looked down on him, the son of the Sect Leader, and naturally, he had no qualifications to succeed as the Sect Leader.

After the old Sect Leader passed away, the Great Elder’s True Disciple became the Sect Leader, and he, being the direct son of the old Sect Leader, was given a mountain peak to retire on as a gatekeeper of sorts.

Master Li Huo mostly recorded his own achievements, but he didn’t give up exploring the path towards the ’Great Dao.’

Lin Mo continued to read, and towards the end, they were all insights about the Great Dao and cultivation recorded by Master Li Huo.

Cultivation is about questioning life and death, seizing creation, and defying destiny!

The Great Dao is the heaven above, controlling everything, whether ordinary people or cultivators; all are governed by fate and the Great Dao. It seems to escape all constraints, but in the end, one is still bound by being within this mountain.

The origins of the methods of cultivation are unknown, but after a hundred years of study, I believe that to transcend and become a new self, one needs to carve out a path of their own, which might then pave the way to becoming an ’Immortal.’

Lin Mo’s eyes widened, his body startled.

”Xiao Mo, what’s wrong?”

Seeing Lin Mo’s expression, Xia Mengdie spoke with a furrowed brow and a touch of concern in her soft voice.
