Chu Mo's eyes flickered, his thoughts racing.
The Heavenly Emperor had never appeared... was he unwilling? Did he have no desire to? Or was he unable to?
He pondered for a moment, then took a Jade Slip from his sleeve. He had found it in the Yue Clan's treasury after bringing the head of the Yue Household under his control. Recorded within was the Divine Lord cultivation method left behind by the Yue Clan's ancestor.
