51: Holy Land News

Not long after, Nangong Xue'er's response reached Ji Mo, stating that he should wait at home with peace of mind, as she would arrive immediately.

Before long, a series of light, brisk footsteps sounded from outside the courtyard.

Upon hearing this, Ji Mo knew it was Nangong Xue'er, so he gently opened the courtyard gate.

Sure enough, a graceful figure like a purple shadow rushed straight into his embrace.

In an instant, a faint and charming fragrance wafted over.

Ji Mo subconsciously tightened his arms, hugging the beauty's slender and soft waist tightly.

Just at this moment, he faintly felt a trace of moisture on his chest.

Ji Mo was heartbroken and gently cupped Nangong Xue'er's tear-stained, pretty face, seeing her eyes shimmering with tears, looking pitiful.

Ji Mo was full of heartache and hurriedly asked:

"Xue'er, who exactly bullied you? Why are you crying so sadly?"

He gently kissed away the tear stains on her cheeks.

Nangong Xue'er lightly punched Ji Mo's chest and chided:

"It's all because of you, you bad egg. You left for half a year without any news. I was worried and scared every day, afraid that you might have some accident."

Ji Mo hurriedly apologized with a smile:

"It's all my fault, all my fault. Look, didn't I come back safe and sound? My body is still strong."

He even playfully flexed his biceps for her.

Nangong Xue'er broke into a smile through her tears and coquettishly said:

"You only know how to act silly. I was genuinely worried about you!" After saying this, she gazed infatuatedly at Ji Mo and said affectionately:

"I missed you so much!"

"Mmm..."

Looking at this breathtakingly beautiful face in his arms, even compared to faces modified by tenth-level beauty filters on Earth, it seemed even more stunning and moving.

Ji Mo could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart, slowly leaned down, and kissed her,

as if to melt all the longing from these past six months into this kiss, greedily feeling the intermingling of their breaths.

By the time the two separated, they were already sitting on Ji Mo's bed.

Nangong Xue'er's soft, boneless body leaned into Ji Mo's embrace, and with a hint of expectation in her eyes, she said:

"Husband, Xue'er has already achieved a Breakthrough to the Xiantian Realm."

Ji Mo understood in a second. Since the beauty had spoken to this extent, if he refused, he would simply be a eunuch.

Besides, Ji Mo had been a monk for so many years; how could he hold back?

With a wave of his hand, the faintly visible heaven and earth creation bell enveloped the entire room.

Ji Mo didn't want anyone to peek at his beauty; it was better to enjoy it all by himself.

What kind of body was this? Her skin was white as jade, emitting a seductive aura.

That night, Ji Mo transformed into a werewolf and tasted the most delicious "delicacy" in the world. It wasn't until dawn that the shaking in Ji Mo's room stopped.

After the clouds and rain, the two embraced. She was already a mature and beautiful young woman, but now, after truly transforming into a woman, she was even more radiant.

The charm that she emitted every moment made Ji Mo's appetite whet again.

"Husband, please let Xue'er rest for a while."

Considering that it was Nangong Xue'er's first time, although she was an Xiantian Master, the vulnerable places were still vulnerable, so Ji Mo finally let her go.

Holding the beauty, Ji Mo asked softly:

"Xue'er, after you achieved a Breakthrough to the Innate Realm, did you enter the Holy Land?"

"Yes, two months after Husband left, I successfully achieved a Breakthrough to the Innate Realm and was immediately absorbed into the Holy Land.

The Holy Land is covered by a layer of powerful Restriction, and most of the Disciples inside are in the Xiantian Realm.

Those who have not yet reached the Innate Realm are either peerless Prodigies with exceptional talent who are being heavily cultivated by the Sect, or they are the descendants of the Sect's upper echelons."

Nangong Xue'er gently moistened her red lips and continued to narrate,

"Only the place above the Wushuang Mountain Range is the true Holy Land for cultivation of the Peerless Sect.

The Wushuang City that we first entered is just like a massive place for raising Gu.

The Sect only provides the most basic resources and platform; only those who stand out like strong Gu insects are qualified to step into the Holy Land."

Ji Mo's large hand started "making mischief" restlessly again.

Nangong Xue'er gave him a chiding glance.

Ji Mo, however, brazenly said: "Xue'er, you keep talking, don't mind me."

Nangong Xue'er was helpless, so she had to let him be and continued:

"Within the Holy Land, there are ten Elders belonging to two factions: the Sect Master's lineage and the Grand Elder's lineage.

My Master is the Seventh Elder, Gong Yue, one of the three female Elders, who belongs to the Grand Elder's faction.

And that Song Jianyi has joined the Sect Master's faction.

This is also the important matter I was anxious to tell you about tonight."

Ji Mo said:

"According to my Master, Song Jianyi achieved a Breakthrough to the Xiantian Realm a few years ago. At the moment of the Breakthrough, he even comprehended nine parts of Sword Intent,

possessing exceptional talent, and was personally taken in as a Disciple by the Sect Master to be heavily cultivated as the next Sect Master.

Moreover, Song Jianyi has now been sent into the Sect's Secret Realm by the Sect Master.

That Secret Realm is only accessible to the Sect Master's successor.

I heard from my Master that the Secret Realm was personally created by the Peerless Sect's Ancestral Master—an Advanced Saint-tier expert."

Speaking to this point, Nangong Xue'er suddenly paused and turned to ask Ji Mo:

"Husband, do you know the division of Realms after the Innate Realm?

I only heard about it from my Master after I achieved a Breakthrough to the Innate Realm.

After the Innate Realm, there are three Realms: the Zhen Gang Realm, the Condensing Gang Realm, and the Void Shattering Realm. Breaking through beyond that is the Saint Realm."

Ji Mo nodded and replied: "When I was in the City of Chaos, I heard the City Lord, Shangguan Batian, mention it."

"That's right. Song Jianyi has now obtained a Heaven-Defying Opportunity.

My Master says that as for what secrets are hidden in that Secret Realm, apart from the Sect Master, no one else knows.

The only thing that is clear is that everyone who comes out of that Secret Realm can reach at least the Peak of the Condensing Gang Realm, and some can even achieve a Breakthrough to the Void Shattering Realm in one go."

"My Master also said that Song Jianyi will come out in about two years, three years at the latest. Given his talent, it is very likely he will achieve a Breakthrough to the Void Shattering Realm."

Speaking of this, Nangong Xue'er's expression was full of worry.

Ji Mo saw that Nangong Xue'er was full of worry and couldn't help but smile slightly, asking: "Xue'er, do you remember what my cultivation was when we first met?"

"Of course I remember. Husband was only at the sixth level of the Acquired Realm back then," Nangong Xue'er answered without hesitation.

"From the time we met until now, it's only been about half a year, right?

But now, I have already reached the Physical Body Innate Realm. As for Spiritual Qi cultivation, as long as I am willing, I can achieve a Breakthrough to the Innate Realm at any time."

Ji Mo said confidently.

Hearing this, Nangong Xue'er was shocked, her eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape, looking incredulous:

"Husband, how is this possible! Your cultivation has improved so rapidly; it's simply too incredible!"

"Xue'er, you must have confidence in your husband.

No matter how much of a Genius that Song Jianyi is, after he comes out of seclusion, he will only have a dead end."

Ji Mo clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with a firm light.

"Husband, do you have any cultivation plans for the next steps?"

Nangong Xue'er raised her head and asked with full concern.

"I don't have any clear plans for the time being.

I plan to go ask Elder Mu tomorrow. I have always felt that Elder Mu's identity and strength are far from ordinary."

Ji Mo frowned slightly, a hint of gravity appearing in his expression.

"Husband, speaking of this Elder Mu, when I achieved a Breakthrough to the Innate Realm, my Master specifically warned me that if I encountered Elder Mu while out, I must be respectful.

According to my Master, when she was still a newcomer, Elder Mu was already in the Martial Pavilion. She also doesn't know Elder Mu's background, only that Elder Mu is very powerful."

Nangong Xue'er's eyes also held a hint of curiosity.
