"So that was it." Mu Xian suspected nothing. After all, it was a Heavenly Venerable's supreme treasure-who could help feeling a little curious? He smiled and said:
"Fellow Daoist Qing Xuan, you truly are persistent. The others stopped examining this pool after a few attempts, but every time you come here, you refuse to accept defeat and insist on trying again."
Chu Mo said, "It is a Heavenly Venerable's supreme treasure, after all. I couldn't resign myself to it without uncovering something."
"Then did you gain anything this time?" Mu Xian asked quietly.
"No." Chu Mo shook his head, feigning helplessness. "A Heavenly Venerable's possessions are beyond the scrutiny of a lowly cultivator like me."
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something. He raised his eyes toward Mu Xian and asked curiously, "Brother Mu Xian, the Heavenly Venerable was still active in Myriad Spirits Heaven when you were born. Do you know anything?"
"Me?" Mu Xian's eyes flickered, then he shook his head with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Qing Xuan, you think far too highly of me. I had only just broken through to the Seventh Realm when the Heavenly Venerable left. How could I have known what his venerable self was thinking?"
He looked at Chu Mo with an unfathomable gaze. "All he left behind was that line: 'Within the pool and diagram lie myriad spirits; outside the pool and diagram lie myriad spirits too.'"
Something stirred in Chu Mo's mind, and he was just about to speak.
Boom!!!
Heaven and earth suddenly shuddered, followed by a violent upheaval that shook the ground and mountains. Both men looked toward Lesser Supreme Heaven at once. Qing Xuan shook his head. "It seems our fellow Daoists from Supreme Heaven can no longer sit still."
Chu Mo knitted his brows tightly
