271: Heaven and Earth Cage? !

Where is that voice coming from?!

Why is it echoing in my ears?

Chu Mo blinked.

How strange!

Someone wants to be with Shen Qingqiu? What does that have to do with me? Doesn't he have enough women around him already?

One more, one less, it doesn't matter.

The most urgent matter is Cultivation.

Everything else can wait.

Chu Mo calmed his mind, preparing to enter Cultivation once more, but a vast voice kept echoing in his ears, preventing him from settling down.

"What Immortal-Demon Bet? What Demoness Clone? What about this life, he must achieve Immortal Ascension, otherwise the Heavenly Emperor's method of separating the Immortal Realm and Demon Realm will fail...?"

"What does any of this have to do with me?!"

"I just want to Cultivate now... Sigh! See, I told you you were a good judge of character! Don't worry, who else but me can handle this? I will definitely not let these demonesses ruin Senior Brother's Cultivation!"

"With me here, Senior Brother will surely achieve Immortal Ascension!"

Chu Mo slowly opened his eyes, a brilliant light bursting forth, and on his crossed legs, a pure white Jade Lotus floated quietly, exuding an ethereal Qi.

"Immortal Realm treasure, Creation Jade Lotus, if consumed and refined, can forge the foundation of the Dao of Immortals, freeing one from the constraints of the Immortal Ascension path..."

Chu Mo took a deep breath, suppressing the agitation in his heart. Just now, someone from the Upper Realm used a supreme treasure to obscure the heavenly secrets and sought him out.

From that person's words, he gained a clear understanding of the Xuanling Continent. This world was artificially created, specifically for the Reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor.

As for why the Heavenly Emperor needed to undergo Reincarnation, the people from above didn't say. They only mentioned that the Demon Realm had received news and tampered with things, leading to an unexpected turn of events.

"This world was sealed into the Void Realm. Neither the Immortal Realm nor the Demon Realm can heavily interfere with its internal affairs, but..."

The Heavenly Emperor has undergone ninety-nine tribulations, all ending in failure. If he fails one more time, he will be completely unable to return.

His true spirit would fall into the mortal realm, losing its divine power, and to return would be fraught with immense difficulties, perhaps even impossible, until it dissipates.

This time, the Immortal Realm paid an immeasurable price to bring the Creation Jade Lotus and the information painstakingly calculated by the Immortal Realm."

Chu Mo held the Creation Jade Lotus in his hand. White light spread up his arm but was blocked by his spiritual energy.

"The Heavenly Emperor entering this world for tribulation is definitely a secret of the Immortal Realm, known only to a select few. Yet, something went wrong midway. Haha, I don't believe there aren't any spies from the Demon Realm planted within!"

Chu Mo caressed the Jade Lotus, pushing it towards a black coffin in the distance, and sneered, "The Creation Jade Lotus can forge an immortal foundation, allowing Immortal Ascension without needing to pass through the Immortal Ascension path. Haha, I don't believe it!"

If this Creation Jade Lotus could truly forge an immortal foundation and allow direct Ascension without needing the Immortal Ascension path, then why would it be given to an unknown nobody like him?

It would be better to give it directly to Shen Qingqiu to refine.

Without the constraints of the Immortal Ascension path, with Shen Qingqiu's abilities, he would definitely be able to Ascend directly.

Therefore.

"The Void Realm severs connections between heaven and earth, essentially acting as a cage. But this cage protects the Reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor within it, making it convenient for his tribulation.

However, before this, a mole in the Immortal Realm leaked information about the Heavenly Emperor's Reincarnation tribulation. The Demon Realm interfered, causing the Heavenly Emperor to fail ninety-nine tribulations!"

Chu Mo continued to ponder, meticulously dissecting the situation.

Therefore.

The Immortal Ascension path is the gateway to the cage.

Passing through the Immortal Ascension path allows connection with heaven and earth.

Shen Qingqiu would then be able to reclaim his position as the Heavenly Emperor!

It all made sense, everything clicked!

"Although reality might differ slightly from my conjectures, it should be largely similar."

Chu Mo let out a long breath.

If his guess was correct, this Creation Jade Lotus definitely had a problem, and the Immortal Official position promised to him by that voice was probably an empty promise.

Because if he refined this Creation Jade Lotus...

He would surely die.

And without his help, Shen Qingqiu would fail his tribulation again. By then, the Heavenly Emperor's methods would become ineffective, and the Demon Realm would launch a full-scale invasion, leading to widespread devastation.

"How did I, while just drifting along, become more and more righteous?!"

Chu Mo couldn't understand, but he still had his Clone take the Creation Jade Lotus far away to refine it.

Lest it affect his main body. At the same time, he still needed to hide his main body deeper to avoid being discovered.

"If the Immortal Realm can pay the price to contact me within the Void Realm, then the Demon Realm can surely do the same. Sigh, a season of troubles."

"Forget it! Forget it! The most important thing now is to completely overturn this grand chess game, otherwise, it will inevitably lead to a disadvantage!"

........

Xuanling Continent, Eastern Region.

The vast, boundless ocean stretched endlessly. A figure held a Jade Lotus, slowly placing it before his chest.

As he breathed, the Jade Lotus was absorbed into his body.

Before entering his body, the Jade Lotus glowed with radiant light, surrounded by ethereal Qi. But upon entering, it instantly transformed into a black lotus, deeply rooted in his heart.

Dense Devilish Qi began to spread, like an invisible, gaping maw, devouring him.

A moment later, the black mist dissipated. A figure in black robes stood above the boundless East Sea, emanating a chilling, terrifying Devilish Qi.

"The person calculated by the Immortal Realm to break the situation, after spending countless treasures, isn't that impressive after all! I solved him so easily!"

"If you ask me, the Heavenly Demoness of Lust paid such a heavy price to transform this world and influence its living beings, and the effect is quite good! Most living beings have deep-seated demonic roots, just waiting for the final moment to be converted into members of our Demon Race. By then, the Heavenly Emperor will be eternally lost, with no chance of recovery, however..."

"This final life still requires our assistance. The Heavenly Emperor's hundredth tribulation is his strongest life, and also the one most deeply affected by lust. This life will surely, like the last, fall prey to an Inner Demon Tribulation! Hahahaha!"

The East Sea surged, with Yao Beasts in droves.

No matter how much this Demon Race member racked his brains, he never imagined that beneath the East Sea, countless large fish were secretly observing him, recording everything with a record stone.

I knew why Senior Brother would occasionally be confused. So this is why...

It's not Senior Brother who is wrong, but this world!

As for what this Demon Race member just said, that most living beings have deep-seated demonic roots and will be converted into Demon Race members at the last moment...

Chu Mo found it very reasonable.

He looked at the people around him, and they all seemed like imposters.

Normal people wouldn't be like that.

So, they were all demons!

Nothing more to say, just do it!

Above the sea, this Demon Race member pinpointed a direction and immediately sped towards the nearest city in the East Sea.

In the sea, schools of fish swam, following closely behind.
