In the snowy night, fine snowflakes drifted through the second-floor window and mingled with the steam of the hot pot.
Qing Dui sat by the hot pot, the table filled with mutton. He casually dipped the meat in the broth.
The members of the Huanmo Sect who ascended to the second floor instantly knew upon seeing him that he was the ‘upper immortal’ they were waiting for.
Some people are like that.
Even if he appeared to be just an ordinary person without any realm, sitting there made him stand out like a firefly in the dark—so distinct, so prominent.
“Guests from afar, the meat is ready. Please take your seats.”
His voice came through the steam of the hot pot.
The Huanmo Sect’s holy son narrowed his eyes, and the people around him exchanged glances.
Sigh…
It was their designated spot.
But the other party had already arrived and even ordered food in advance. This suffocating feeling was almost unbelievable.
“Upper Immortal, we finally meet.”
Luo Yexian chuckled.
Ke Mo smiled:
“It’s also a coincidence. I happened to pass by this hot pot shop and was drawn by the aroma, so I came in for dinner. Who knew you would choose this place.”
“That shows we have a connection with the Upper Immortal of Black Earth.”
Luo Yexian didn’t believe it for a moment.
If one person came, why order so much mutton?
“Please sit down. Treat it as your own home.”
Ke Mo invited the group of Huanmo Sect members to sit.
In fact, a faint wave of consciousness soul vibrated in his ear, coming from Taiyin. The clear voice of Bingduzi sounded in his ear:
“The Huanmo Sect’s holy son is probing your realm.”
“He has two figures nearby, likely two experts from the Huanmo Sect.”
Hearing this, Ke Mo looked at the sickly young man.
Luo Yexian observed the scene: “This is my Huanmo Sect’s holy son, Lord Tan Zhuyin.”
“I am Tan Zhuyin.”
The Huanmo Sect’s holy son Tan Zhuyin also took his seat.
At this moment, he was very cautious because he had secretly probed earlier and found the other party to be an ordinary person without any realm.
But how could an ordinary person know their whereabouts?
He was scrutinizing Ke Mo, and Ke Mo was scrutinizing him as well. His divine eye had long been activated.
Name: Tan Zhuyin
Age: 28
Constitution: Ten Thousand Forms Nether Dragon Body (damaged state).
Realm: Observation Realm Nine Apertures.
Destiny: Gold
Evaluation: Born with dragon form, a peerless talent for cultivating the Ten Thousand Forms Dragon Sutra. Once ranked first on the Qianlong List, he nearly achieved dragon body perfection but was dispersed by Da Yu Crown Prince Jiang Yu.
Recent Encounter: Investigating the truth of the Wanxiang Xianzong, coincidentally encountering the rebirth of one of the Three Ancestors of the Huanmo Sect, the Dream God, hoping to inherit his legacy and seek revenge against Jiang Yu, reclaiming the top spot on the Qianlong List.
Dream God?
Ke Mo couldn’t help but recall the black beast that died three days ago in Bingduzi’s dream.
“Observation Realm?”
The Huanmo Sect’s holy son had previously asked the Dharmaraja to investigate, and now the Dharmaraja gave him the answer.
The other party was in the Observation Realm.
Even the Dharmaraja could discern the reality of Dharmabody Realm, indicating that the other party might be using some extraordinary treasure?
However.
Why does a mere Observation Realm give the feeling that closing one’s eyes makes the person seem non-existent?
Is it real or fake?
“Pity, Holy Son.”
Ke Mo’s voice was calm, but his smiling face suddenly turned icy:
“If your dragon form were complete, entering the Inner Scene might make you qualified to join the Immortal Sect and learn a few divine techniques.”
“Is your tone too big?”
Tan Zhuyin showed no emotion, but he was startled inside.
The other party saw through his true self at first glance!
Moreover, saying it now…
“How about having those behind me probe my realm again?”
Ke Mo ate a piece of mutton, his demeanor high and aloof.
He slightly activated the Mirage Divine Pearl.
Behind them?
Did the other party discover the presence of the two Dharmarajas?!
The two Dharmarajas hidden in the shadows were also shaken, but what truly shook them wasn’t the discovery of their location.
Earlier, they investigated further and found that this young man had already progressed from the Observation Realm to the Inner Scene Realm!
“Holy Son, this person went from a mortal to the Inner Scene Realm. No… he became a mortal again…”
“What?!”
Tan Zhuyin’s pupils contracted, leaning back slightly.
One check revealed a mortal, another revealed an Observation Realm, then an Inner Scene Realm, and finally returning to a mortal!
The other party’s realm was as unpredictable as the weather!
This was practically telling him that all his probes were known to the other party!
“Do not blame me, Upper Immortal. You know our Divine Sect is not tolerated by Da Yu. Naturally, we must be cautious. Besides, my nephew suffered an injury in his youth, sometimes his mind…”
Luo Yexian sensed the displeasure in Black Earth Immortal’s tone and quickly put on a serious face:
“Nephew, I told you the Upper Immortal cannot be fathomed by ordinary people. It would make us look disrespectful!”
“My apologies, I was overly cautious. Please do not hold it against me.”
Tan Zhuyin suppressed the surging waves of shock, even though he was usually unruly, he was now subdued.
He was certain.
Whether the other party is truly an ‘immortal’ is uncertain, but they are indeed unfathomable!
That so-called Wanxiang Xianzong…
Seeing the other party’s expression, Black Earth Immortal felt relieved.
They had passed the test.
Now it was time to get to the point.
“No harm done. The Huan Shen Sect only inherited some techniques from the Immortal Sect and does not possess its doctrines. After being in the mundane world for too long, one inevitably falls into commonness.”
“But you still have a connection with the Immortal Sect. As long as you return to the sect soon, there is no need to stay in the mundane world.”
“At that time, what will Da Yu Dynasty be worth? What will the top spot on the Qianlong List be worth?”
Ke Mo dipped the mutton until it was tender and swallowed it immediately.
“Top spot on the Qianlong List?”
Tan Zhuyin’s eyes flashed with light.
His greatest wish in life was to regain his dragon form and seek revenge against Jiang Yu!
“Dream God.”
Ke Mo swallowed the mushroom and said calmly:
“You came here for Him, right?”
“!!”
Not only Tan Zhuyin, but the members of the Huanmo Sect, including the two Dharmarajas hiding in the shadows, all sucked in a breath of hot pot steam.
This was a secret of the sect!
What else did the other party not know?!
The members of the Huanmo Sect began to doubt. Could it be that their three ancestral gods truly have an inseparable connection with the Wanxiang Xianzong?
Or… were they elders within the Immortal Sect?
No wonder the other party said their Divine Sect only inherited a fraction of the Immortal Sect’s legacy!
“Can you accompany us to the Dream God’s inheritance site and investigate?”
Tan Zhuyin’s breathing quickened.
Black Earth Immortal pondered.
Fine, Ke Mo actually discussed with Bingduzi.
Was that black beast related to this so-called ‘Dream God’?
Otherwise, why would the beast’s d*ath be followed by signs of revival?
Perhaps, the black beast was sent by the ‘Dream God’ to find the Ying family, to find Ying Bing?
Maybe, the true person with designs on Ying Bing is the so-called Dream God?
Regardless of Bingduzi.
Perhaps exploring with the Huanmo Sect isn’t smooth sailing, but it is still necessary.
After discussing, Ke Mo nodded:
“Very well, I will go and lend a hand.”
