369: round and smooth

In the courtyard, lightning flashed in the sky.

Stewing a dish led to a Heavenly Tribulation, and Zhuge Rizhao felt his Dao Heart faintly cracking.

Is this even human?!

Chu Mo wasn't too concerned about the impending Heavenly Tribulation; it was just a routine operation.

It was just that...

The power of this Lightning Tribulation was more than ten times greater than previous Lightning Tribulations.

Furthermore, unlike the Void Realm, Medicinal Pills and Immortal Artifacts in the outside world, once they reached a certain level, had to undergo this Lightning Tribulation; otherwise, they couldn't use the power of lightning to refine the Impurities within, which would lead to an insufficient grade and prevent them from entering the ranks of Immortal Treasures.

And if they couldn't reach the ranks of Immortal Treasures, they couldn't be completely concealed.

After all, Long Aotian's body had already reached the True Immortal Realm, and more importantly, his Dragon Pearl was a common item. Does that make sense?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lightning poured down frantically.

Zhuge Rizhao, who was hiding to the side, couldn't avoid it in time.

A defensive Formation composed of Talismans protected him, preventing him from being blasted into dust by the Lightning Tribulation.

The Tribulation Lightning struck the Dragon Pearl, and Chu Mo needed to personally protect it.

The 'Dragon Pearl' he refined was very unusual; it was both a Medicinal Pill and not a Medicinal Pill, an Immortal Artifact and not an Immortal Artifact.

It belonged to both the category of Medicinal Pills and Immortal Artifacts.

Simply put, it could be eaten, and it could also be used as a weapon against enemies.

"The Dragon Pearls of the Dragon Clan are rare treasures, but my even more special rare treasure, I wonder if it can fool the heavens?!"

Every time lightning struck the 'Dragon Pearl,'

Chu Mo would use more Artifact Refining runes to temper it, even incorporating his unique understanding of Artifact Refining and Alchemy.

Rumble!

The last bolt of lightning was incredibly powerful, comparable to the full-force strike of a True Immortal undergoing ten tribulations.

Zhuge Rizhao's mansion, along with the surrounding mansions, was reduced to a pile of rubble under this destructive lightning.

Although he had painstakingly conducted business for many years to buy this small mansion in the imperial capital, where every inch of land was precious,

Zhuge Rizhao didn't feel any heartache; on the contrary, he cheered loudly: "Master, awesome!"

How could it not be awesome?

This was an Immortal Treasure!

A genuine Immortal Treasure!!

If this Immortal Treasure were sold, it would be enough for him to buy a hundred such small mansions. No, an Immortal Treasure is too valuable to be sold!

Of course, it's for me, this newly accepted Disciple, as a welcoming gift!

Zhuge Rizhao's eyes sparkled, and he quickly ran towards Chu Mo.

Suddenly,

A dark shadow flashed across the sky, and the Immortal Treasure, still surrounded by the power of lightning after just Undergoing Tribulation,

was snatched away so effortlessly.

Before Zhuge Rizhao could even curse, a group of Yan Ling Guards dressed in red robes arrived from all directions and instantly formed a large Formation.

They trapped Chu Mo and Zhuge Rizhao within the Formation.

"Audacious madman! Don't you know His Majesty once decreed that no one is allowed to undergo Tribulation within ten thousand miles of the imperial capital?"

"But... that's not a person, that's a dish!" Zhuge Rizhao craned his neck, pointing at the pearl in Eunuch Wang's hand.

"This dish is called 'Perfectly Round and Smooth.'"

"A dish Undergoing Tribulation has nothing to do with people! So, we haven't violated His Majesty's order either..."

Zhuge Rizhao's voice grew softer and softer, and he even subtly shifted his feet behind Chu Mo.

The surrounding Yan Ling Guards were staring at him intently, as if they wanted to tear him limb from limb, which was quite unnerving.

"Who are they?!"

"The ones trapping us with a Formation are the Yan Ling Guards, subordinate to the Emperor of Great Yan. They're considered the Emperor's personal army. And that eunuch is Eunuch Wang, the Eunuch Chief by the Emperor's side!"

"Is that so..."

Even though he was trapped within the Formation by a crowd of people, Chu Mo's face showed no fear.

Compared to what he had experienced,

this small skirmish was truly nothing.

Moreover, even if a fight broke out, these people might not truly be his opponents.

Except for... that hermaphrodite in the sky.

"His aura is incredibly profound, probably already at the level of a True Immortal undergoing thirty-six tribulations. One more step and he can directly enter the Golden Immortal Realm. The whisk in his hand is also an Immortal Treasure, and the jade pendant and jade belt at his waist, even his shoes are, his clothes are also Immortal Treasures... Damn, it's a complete set! If it really comes to a fight, I might not be his opponent!"

Chu Mo instantly compared the combat power gap between the two of them.

The Lust Demoness's Realm was only that of a True Immortal undergoing seventeen tribulations, and her actual combat power was barely that of a True Immortal undergoing twenty-five tribulations.

Going all out, plus the opponent being hesitant due to his special identity, he could still put up a fight.

However, this old eunuch at the thirty-six-tribulation True Immortal Realm had already surpassed his ability to contend, especially with all his Immortal Treasures.

Chu Mo indicated that he couldn't fight at all.

Of course, if the old eunuch insisted on not letting go, he wouldn't mind letting the other party experience what it's like when...

I don't want my things to be used by others at will!

If I can't blow you up, I'll at least disgust you to death!

At this moment, Eunuch Wang was also somewhat bewildered by Zhuge Rizhao's words.

What did 'a dish Undergoing Tribulation' mean?!

How did these words connect?!

He brought the round pearl in his hand closer to his eyes and examined it carefully.

It somewhat resembled an Immortal Treasure refined from a Dragon Clan's Dragon Pearl, but this fragrance... it truly made his appetite soar... No, that's not right!

This was a trap!

Looking at the runes circulating on the pearl,

Good heavens!

This was an Immortal Artifact refined with a Dragon Pearl as the main material.

Once swallowed, if the other party detonated it,

even with his Realm, he would be severely wounded.

"How insidious, to use... a dish as a disguise to deceive this humble one..."

Eunuch Wang flicked his whisk and pointed at Chu Mo and Zhuge Rizhao.

"Yan Ling Guards, listen to my command!"

"These two brazenly defied His Majesty's decree by refining Immortal Artifacts within the imperial capital, attracting a Lightning Tribulation.

They not only destroyed surrounding houses but also disturbed His Majesty's elegant pastime of stargazing!

Their crime is unforgivable!! Quickly apprehend them, throw them into the Heavenly Prison, and await His Majesty's judgment!"

As soon as the order was given,

the confining Formation set up by the Yan Ling Guards rapidly converged, continuously compressing the two's range of activity, while a huge suppressive force fell upon them.

Chu Mo was still fine.

However, Zhuge Rizhao, due to his low cultivation, instantly lost the power to resist.

"Eunuch Wang, is it!" Chu Mo looked at Eunuch Wang in the sky, "There are some people your Great Yan Immortal Dynasty cannot afford to provoke!"

"Cannot afford to provoke... The Great Yan Immortal Dynasty has no one it cannot afford to provoke. Apprehend..."

Eunuch Wang hadn't even finished speaking.

Chu Mo interrupted him again.

"Lilang Immortal Land!"

His heart skipped a beat, and Eunuch Wang looked incredulously at the eight-year-old child below.

Although he appeared to be eight years old, the light in his eyes was completely unlike what an eight-year-old should possess; instead, it resembled an old, cunning fox.

"To be honest, your Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, which doesn't even have an Immortal King, I truly don't know where you get the audacity to speak to me like this. Do you know who my Old Ancestor is? Huh?"

Arrogant!

Extremely arrogant!

If it were an ordinary person being this arrogant, Eunuch Wang would have slapped them to death long ago.

But Chu Mo possessed an extraordinary demeanor.

His dark eyes were like a black hole, and his face held a calm and composed expression.

In addition, his cultivation was indeed not bad, his refining techniques were extremely novel, and even his extremely arrogant attitude was identical to that of the second-generation rich kids from the various great Immortal Lands... At this moment,

Eunuch Wang hesitated.

He dared not gamble, nor could he gamble.

The Great Yan Immortal Dynasty...

did not have an Immortal King of the Taiyi Realm presiding over it!
