Secret Realm?
[Golden Body Tai Sui]
Upon hearing this, Chu Xuanao couldn't help but glance at this ancestor; the ancestor's luck was quite good.
His meridians were severed, and he was poisoned. At the brink of death, he still had such a great opportunity: a treasure that could repair his meridians, medicine that could cure poison and turn a powerful Ascension Realm, and the ability to pull this ancestor back from the Yama. These treasures were no ordinary items, not to mention the [Golden Body Tai Sui].
This is also a rare and precious herb that can help people enter the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. In fact, it is even rarer than the [Earth Fire Condensed Lotus] that he had drawn before.
Of course, this refers to the [Golden Body Tai Sui]. Ordinary Tai Sui are precious medicines or great medicines that can give people the opportunity to enter the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. They are at least Spiritual Tai Sui that are over a thousand years old.
Even at this level, it can't compare to [Earth Fire Condensed Lotus]. The Spiritual Tai Sui absorbs the energy of heaven and earth to grow, and in special environments, it has a chance to undergo mutations, such as [Blood Fiend Tai Sui] and [Golden Body Tai Sui].
The [Golden Body Tai Sui] is the top-tier among them, even rarer than the [Earth Fire Condensed Lotus]. Every time such a rare treasure appears, it brings bloodshed and chaos.
On the verge of death, he narrowly escaped with his life, stumbled upon a priceless treasure, and took another step forward. Even the ancestor has the makings of a protagonist!
Thinking about these things, Chu Xuanao frowned slightly. His ancestor was born into the Imperial Clan, and his cultivation techniques and martial arts skills were undoubtedly top-notch in the world.
To enter the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, one must use a rare and precious treasure like the [Golden Body Tai Sui]. The fact that one can enter the Celestial Phenomenon Realm means that this treasure is perfectly suited to oneself, indicating that one's ancestor's foundation is definitely not bad.
With such a superior foundation, far surpassing Dong Xuanfeng in every aspect within the same realm, how did he end up being defeated by Dong Xuanfeng?
Not even a chance to run?
They were captured alive!
Unaware of Chu Xuanao's thoughts, Chu Mo simply continued speaking to himself.
"It was precisely because of this [Golden Body Tai Sui] that I didn't return. If I had brought this back to the Imperial Clan, haha, you know what would have happened without me having to say it."
"I couldn't bear to leave the treasure there and go back myself, so I left it there in the end. At that time, my cultivation had already reached the Late Ascension Realm. As long as I reach the Peak Ascension Realm, I will have the opportunity to enter the Celestial Phenomenon Realm with this treasure."
"The result was as I expected. The myriad phenomena of mountains and rivers, and the myriad images of the mind, are all present. The cultivation method I practice is the [Myriad Manifestations of Mountains and Rivers Scripture and Rivers] of my Imperial Clan. My path is quite compatible with the [Golden Body Tai Sui], and thus I have entered the Celestial Phenomenon Realm."
"But right after my breakthrough, something unexpected happened there. I was injured, and after I came out, I ran into Dong Xuanfeng, and that's how things turned out."
Chu Xuanao nodded. "Hmm, the beginning is reasonable enough." Chu Xuanao understood what Ancestor Chu Mo meant. If he took this treasure back, it would definitely not be his anymore. It would be given to the most outstanding talents of the Imperial Clan, like his aunt and second sister.
Leaving it there, I can't bear to part with it. Who would dare leave something there unattended? Even if someone is there watching it the whole time, the treasure might not be yours. If you leave, no one will know what happened.
But what does the following sentence mean. "Something happened there, so they came out"?
Moreover, the fact that the ancestor was imprisoned by Dong Xuanfeng for a hundred years means he must have a secret that could save his life. Dong Xuanfeng only imprisoned him and did not kill him because of his greed. That guy also wanted to obtain the secrets of the ancestor Chu Mo.
Otherwise, the grass on this ancestor's grave would have been over three meters tall long ago.
Seeing the doubt in the Prince of Qin's eyes, Chu Mo naturally knew what he was thinking and asked.
"Your Highness is wondering why Dong Xuanfeng imprisoned me for a hundred years instead of killing me or currying favor with the Great Feng Imperial Clan?"
Chu Xuanao nodded.
"Your Excellency is wise; I do indeed have some doubts about this matter."
The fact that a Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert would care so much about this secret shows that he is indeed interested.
Chu Mo smiled knowingly and said.
"Actually, it's nothing. Do you know where I woke up?"
How could I possibly know where you are going?
Hearing this, Chu Xuanao couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. If I had known, I would have investigated you thoroughly long ago, and I wouldn't be asking you like this today.
However, Chu Xuanao shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
Chu Mo looked directly into Chu Xuanao's eyes and said in a deep voice.
When I awoke, it seemed I had arrived in another world, a Secret Realm.
"Secret Realm?"
Chu Xuanao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and Li Xunhuan beside him also immediately became serious, as this news was truly unbelievable.
Looking at this ancestor, Chu Xuanao felt increasingly uneasy. Was the ancestor really the protagonist?
Did a new Secret Realm just fall from the sky and hit me on the head?
To break through to the Heavenly Being Realm, one must condense a Celestial Body with the power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. However, the laws of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth are incomplete here. Only in the Secret Realm formed by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth can one break through to the Heavenly Being Realm.
It's not just the Heavenly Being Realm; the Secret Realm contains the complete Great Dao of Heaven Celestial Phenomenon Realm doesn't require rare and precious materials. As long as your potential is not exhausted and you can comprehend your own path and understand the Dao of Heaven, you can enter the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
Cultivating in the Secret Realm is vastly different in terms of speed compared to cultivating outside.
Each of the top powers has its own Secret Realm under its control, and no outsiders know its location. At most, when they talk about it, they might give their own precious Secret Realm a name.
Therefore, the ancestor cannot go to other people's Secret Realm. If he did, he would definitely be killed by them. The only reason he is still alive is because a new Secret Realm has appeared.
Damn, no wonder Dong Xuanfeng imprisoned the Ancestor; anyone would want that!
Wait, that doesn't make sense either!
Chu Xuanao's mind finally caught on, and he realized something was wrong.
Secret Realm are extremely rare. In the last few thousand years, only three top-tier forces— the Li Family, the Blood Lotus Sect, and the Corpse Immortal Sect —have created three Secret Realm.
If Ancestor Chu Mo could discover another new Secret Realm for the Imperial Clan, such a great achievement would be worth more than a [Golden Body Tai Sui]. He might even have Ancestor Tianren split the [True Dragon Tree] nurtured by the Imperial Clan in half as a reward.
How could they possibly hide away and not go back just because of a [Golden Body Tai Sui]?
Seeing Chu Xuanao's expression, Chu Mo knew that the Prince of Qin had considered the conflict involved, and slowly said...
"Your Highness, that is a decaying Secret Realm, not far from fading away and returning to the world. Even the Celestial Phenomenon Realm cannot comprehend it. I had just broken through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm within it using the [Golden Body Tai Sui] when the Secret Realm space experienced another upheaval and collapse."
"I managed to escape by chance, but I was severely injured by the spatial disturbances. When I came out, I saw Dong Xuanfeng. He also noticed me and thought that I had been in a new Secret Realm. He had been searching for a long time but could not find a way to enter, so he wanted to know the method from me."
"That's why I survived, but I was imprisoned and tortured by them until His Your Highness came to my rescue."
It was precisely because the Secret Realm might collapse that Chu Mo had no choice but to stay. It would be too regrettable for such treasures to turn into nothingness with the collapse of space, but as long as the Secret Realm still existed, it would not be easily discovered by others, and he would still have a chance.
But who would have thought that he would encounter another upheaval in the Secret Realm right after breaking through, and then run into Dong Xuanfeng as soon as he emerged? What a coincidence!
After hearing Ancestor Chu Mo's words, Chu Xuanao's expression turned somewhat strange. So, the secret Dong Xuanfeng had sought for a hundred years had all come to nothing?
One should not be too greedy!
He might as well just kill Ancestor Chu Mo directly, or present him to the Great Feng Imperial Clan to curry favor.
Now that he's risked his life for this, if Dong Xuanfeng knew that what he pursued and longed for was just his own delusion, and that it would all come to nothing in the end, he would probably be so angry that he would come back to life.
