123: Ah? I'm a grandfather?

“I don’t even have a grandfather, so where would I get the Fen Jue? On the other hand, Junior Brother Han, you’ve uploaded quite a few Cultivation Techniques from the Ghost Hall, and I’ve learned quite a bit…”

Speaking of which, Lin Yan froze.

Oh right!

He didn't even have the Fen Jue, so where would he get the title of future Flame Emperor? Although it seemed like he was following the same script as Xiao Yan, his own script was actually a modified version.

The world had already been turned upside down in ways he couldn't understand, so why should he insist on walking the path of the Flame Emperor?

Therefore.

“Should I walk the Soul Heavenly Emperor’s path?” Lin Yan said this, and even he couldn’t quite believe it.

Chu Mo nodded in agreement.

“As you can see, the world you are in has begun to go berserk. The appearance of so many Rebirths has resulted in all Opportunities that are similar to, yet different from, the Flame Emperor’s being snatched up.

But at the same time, other Opportunities may be left vacant. So, what you need to do is seize those Opportunities that were originally meant for others but became available due to their unexpected deaths.”

Lin Yan suddenly understood.

“Oh right! If they can seize my Opportunities, then why can’t I seize theirs? Chu Ge, I understand! I will climb step by step, step by step, until I reach the very top! I want to become the Soul Heavenly Emperor!”

Li Tian Ce scratched his head, his mouth twitching slightly: “Isn’t that Gao Yao’s line? Is it appropriate for you to use it like that?”

“There’s nothing appropriate or inappropriate about it. Once I recover here for a while, I’ll go back and seize their Opportunities!” Lin Yan pulled out a bottle of Medicinal Pills from his storage ring and gulped them down, speaking indistinctly with a mouthful of pills: “They can seize my Opportunities, so I’ll seize theirs. As they can go, so can I!”

Li Tian Ce: “......”

Why did these words sound so strange coming from Lin Yan’s mouth?

Beside them, Chu Mo smiled without speaking, simply filling the empty storage ring with new items before tossing it to Lin Yan.

“A small gift for you. You should find it useful for dealing with those guys when you go back!”

Lin Yan checked the storage ring, his eyes widening dramatically. He wished he could hug and kiss Chu Mo twice.

Older brother! This was better than a real older brother!

With these items, he would surely be able to decimate those Geniuses from the Central Continent!

Li Tian Ce leaned closer and asked, “So happy? What good stuff did Chu Ge give you?”

Lin Yan didn’t speak, just kept grinning foolishly.

Li Tian Ce looked on enviously, his longing gaze sweeping towards Chu Mo, and he said coquettishly: “Chu Ge~, I want some too.”

“......” A black line appeared on Chu Mo’s forehead, and he clenched his right fist tightly, raising it as if to strike.

“Can you please speak properly? Don’t force me to punch you right now!”

“Uh.”

Upon hearing this, Li Tian Ce immediately adjusted his demeanor, finally returning to his aloof, imperial appearance.

“Old Lin’s situation is an emergency! What I gave him are emergency supplies. As for you, you’re already invincible in your world. Next, just accumulate national fortune and transform the world! As for small gifts, I’ll talk about it once I find something suitable for you.”

After hearing this, Li Tian Ce nodded repeatedly, resuming his playful, grinning demeanor, and made a heart gesture towards Chu Mo: “Chu Ge, I knew you loved me. Love you, mwah!”

“Get out! Don’t disgust me here!” Chu Mo cursed with a laugh.

In this unfamiliar world, anyone around him could be a deeply disguised old schemer. Only these jokers in the group allowed him to be himself without needing to pretend.

Being with them was the most relaxing.

Just then.

A dark figure shot over from a distance.

Lin Yan and Li Tian Ce didn't even have time to react before an old man stood in front of Chu Mo.

Who else could it be but Elder Yan?

He merely glanced at Lin Yan and Li Tian Ce before grabbing Chu Mo’s hand, intending to go to the bamboo forest.

“Quick, quick, quick! It’s been a whole year! You’ve been in seclusion for a full year. If it weren’t for the Formation protecting your Pill Pavilion, connected to the entire Heaven Sealing Demon Banning Array, I would have broken in!”

Elder Yan pulled Chu Mo along, his expression very anxious, as if something major had happened.

Chu Mo was puzzled. On this Elite Comprehensive Peak, besides a group of Elders from various factions who had been reassigned, there were only some pampered young masters.

What kind of trouble could they cause?

Under the Heaven Sealing Demon Banning Array, could anything still go wrong?

Elder Yan anxiously summarized, “You brat! Last time you threw Huo Tianyi into a wine jar and then went into seclusion yourself. It’s been a year, a full year! Huo Tianyi knew within seven days in the wine jar and chose to cultivate his Sword Heart again. Now, because of you, he’s been trapped for a whole year!”

He could actually break through the Magic Treasure meticulously crafted by Lianqi Peak, but the strange thing was that other Formations were set up around the wine jar.

As long as he attacked the wine jar fiercely, it would trigger the Formations.

Confinement Formations, Maze Formations, Illusion Formations, one after another.

One interlocking with the next.

He hadn't even rescued the person yet, and he was already on the verge of collapsing himself!

At that time, he vaguely recalled Chu Mo’s instructions before his seclusion.

Do not try to release Huo Tianyi; the consequences would be severe!

And weren’t these consequences very severe indeed?

He himself was trapped inside for a full three months before getting out.

The two arrived at the bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest was still verdant, and the wine jar remained sturdy.

Chu Mo formed a hand seal, “Open!”

The moment the lid was lifted, a dishevelled figure, like a beggar by the roadside, leaped out.

“I’m out! I’m finally out!”

Just then.

A familiar voice drifted over leisurely.

“Huo Tianyi, have you comprehended?”

The nightmarish voice echoed in his ears.

Huo Tianyi, who had just emerged from the wine jar, shivered all over, nearly losing his footing and falling to the ground.

On the seventh day, he had decided to re-cultivate his Sword Heart, ascend to the Shen Jian Sect, and reclaim everything that belonged to him.

But this time, it had dragged on for a whole year. During that year spent soaking in the wine jar, he constantly reflected and realized that he didn’t actually love her that much.

He repeatedly questioned himself whether she was worth him giving his all.

Confusion enveloped him.

Each time he questioned himself, he gained new insights.

Until now, he felt that the shadow in his heart had gradually faded.

“She doesn’t love me; she only loves the Sword Immortal. As for who this Sword Immortal is, it doesn’t matter!”

At this moment, a gentle breeze swept through, carrying away the smell of alcohol from Huo Tianyi’s body, and also taking away the last shadow in his heart.

Chu Mo formed a hand seal, dispelling the surrounding alcohol scent, and then put the wine jar into his storage ring.

He looked at Huo Tianyi again.

“It seems you have gained some enlightenment! I should now impart to you the unparalleled sword Dao that will shake the past and present, to prove your indestructible Sword Heart!”

Huh?!

Huo Tianyi mechanically turned his head, his gaze meeting Chu Mo’s burning eyes.

In those abyss-like eyes, faint flickers of fire grew brighter and closer.

A scorching aura rushed towards him.

As if to consume him in a raging inferno.

In this flame, he involuntarily opened his lips, exhaled a turbid breath, and bowed to Chu Mo.

“Huo Tianyi, thanks to Junior Brother Han!”

......

“Faster! Faster!”

“This month’s quota for Magic Treasures hasn’t been met yet!”

Time quickly passed, and three months later.

Inside the exclusive Artifact Refining room, Huo Tianyi, shirtless, revealed eight distinct abdominal muscles. Beads of sweat, as large as beans, trickled down his resolute face.

Around him floated hundreds of Magic Treasures, each inscribed with different runes, gleaming coldly and possessing extraordinary power.

Under the Spiritual Fire controlled by Huo Tianyi, every sword was tempered to its maximum extent. At the same time, his Spiritual Qi was being consumed at a tremendous rate.

Chu Mo stood behind him, eating snacks while directing Huo Tianyi to speed up.

“Faster! Faster!”

“Forge ten thousand Spirit Swords in one month!”

“You’ve only made four hundred this month; you’re still far from the goal!”
