In the Mo Residence, Mo Qingcheng couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Grandpa, I wish to roam the world by myself."
Mo Qingcheng had already made up her mind. After the storm in Chu was over, she would roam Grand Xia together with Qin Wentian.
"You don't know what's good for you." Old man Mo berated, causing Mo Qingcheng to lower her head, not daring to look at him. Old man Mo's prestige in the Mo Residence was extremely high, even her father, Mo Tianlin, didn't dare to disobey him.
Usually, he wouldn't interfere in the affairs of the Mo Residence, but once he made a decision, it would be extremely difficult to change his mind.
"Roam the world? You're only at the initial Yuanfu Realm, and your looks are so outstanding. Do you know how dangerous it would be if you roam the world? Even I have to be extremely careful when I roam the outside world. If I'm not careful, my bones might be buried in a foreign land. " Old Man Mo lectured, "Young Master Hua is willing to introduce you to a sect, this is exactly what I've been looking for. In the future, if you enter a powerful sect, wouldn't it be even better to travel the world with your fellow disciples?"
"But …" Mo Qingcheng stubbornly refused.
"Qingcheng." Mo Tianlin interrupted her, smiling bitterly in his heart. He knew what his daughter was thinking. Qin Wentian was indeed outstanding, and if he could really resolve the commotion in Chu, he wouldn't object to Mo Qingcheng and Qin Wentian being together. But now that Old man Mo wanted to find a good sect for Mo Qingcheng, it was for Qingcheng's own good. As for feelings, they could be temporarily put aside.
Old man Mo indifferently glanced at Qin Wentian. Evidently, he had also guessed the reason for his granddaughter's abnormal behavior today.
"Lass, you've never roamed the world before, so you don't know how vast it is. Our Chu Country is like an ant when compared to the Grand Xia Empire. Any Heavenly Dipper Sovereign from Grand Xia would be able to view the people of Chu as ants, not to mention the transcendent powers of Grand Xia."
Old man Mo evidently doted on Mo Qingcheng a lot. His tone was much gentler as he continued, "In Chu, your talent can be considered outstanding. That's why Grandpa doesn't want to hold you back. Let me ask you, do you know what a Mandate is?"
"I've heard grandpa mention before that the Mandate of Martial Daos is formed through the comprehension of one's Astral Soul. It's extremely powerful, and is extremely useful for breaking through to the Yuanfu Realm." Mo Qingcheng replied in a low voice.
"What you said is correct, there are countless types of Mandates. For example, the Mandate of Wind, the Mandate of Thunder, the Mandate of Fire, the Mandate of Blood, etc. Every type of Mandate can give rise to different types of tyrannical powers. For example, the Mandate of Force, the first level is Force. This level is further divided into the Initial Realm, Advanced Realm, Transformation Realm, and Perfection Realm."
"At the Initial Boundary, your strength would be two times stronger. At the Advanced Boundary, your strength would be four times stronger. At the Transformation Boundary, your strength would be eight times stronger. At the Perfection Boundary, your strength would be over ten times stronger. Think about it, if someone at the same cultivation level had the Mandate of the Perfection Boundary, would his opponent be able to withstand a single strike from him?"
Old Mo slowly explained, as Qin Wentian listened attentively. Mandates of Martial Daos, Mandate of Force, these should be the abilities he had comprehended.
"After Stellar Martial Cultivators reach Yuanfu, the further they go, the harder it gets to cultivate. This is especially so for stepping from Yuanfu to Heavenly Dipper. This is an extremely huge barrier. One of the reasons for this is because it requires an extremely large amount of Astral Energy to support it. The other reason is that not only do you have to comprehend the first level of Mandates of Martial Daos, you have to comprehend the second level of Mandates of Martial Daos before you can condense your Astral Nova."
"Father, what is the second level of Mandates of Martial Daos?" Mo Tianlin was completely engrossed as he listened. Before this, his cultivation base wasn't high enough, so Old Mo didn't tell him about this.
"The first level of Mandates of Martial Daos is the foundation, it's something that will never change. The first level of the Mandate of Force is Strength, and as for the second level, it's something that can change. One can say that the second level of Mandates of Martial Daos is a transformation of the first level, a sublimation. Not only that, I've heard that there's an even stronger third level of Mandates of Martial Daos. The third level of Mandates of Martial Daos can even manifest a constellation.
That's the legendary Celestial Phenomenon Realm. "Old Mo's eyes were filled with yearning. He had roamed the Grand Xia Empire and had an intense yearning towards that legendary realm.
The Celestial Phenomenon Realm. After the Heavenly Dipper Realm, he didn't even have the chance to witness how terrifying that level of power was.
If it was an expert proficient in the Mandate of Blood, the moment he manifested his constellation, he would be able to transform millions of people into a rain of blood. That was the power that could penetrate the Heavens and Earth.
"Celestial Phenomenon Realm." Qin Wentian thought of that statue. So it turned out that the statue was a legendary expert. He also thought of the group of people outside the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect. Those were all terrifying existences at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Yet, this group of people were all killed by the middle-aged man who seemed to be 'his' father. In that case, how strong was' he '?
Was he at the peak of Celestial Phenomenon? Or was he even stronger than Celestial Phenomenon?
With a single thought, he could manifest all the constellations in the Heavenly Dipper Realm. How terrifying was that?
"Father, what level has your Mandate of Dao reached?" Mo Tianlin asked.
"I'm ashamed to say this, but after so many years, I finally broke through to the Transformation Realm during my roaming the world. Not only that, I have three Astral Souls, yet I've only comprehended a single Mandate of Dao. But even so, I'm still able to dominate the Yuanfu Realm in Chu." Old Mo's voice contained a hint of arrogance. After which, he turned to Mo Qingcheng and stated, "Qingcheng, after saying so much, you should understand what I mean right? This world is truly vast. You should go out and take a look. If you join a prestigious sect, you will be able to avoid too many detours."
Mo Tianlin and the rest all had expressions of shock on their faces. Old Mo's Mandate of Dao had actually reached the Transformation Realm? No wonder the people of Chu feared him so much.
Seems like there were indeed benefits to roaming the world.
"Senior, you don't have to join a prestigious sect in order to comprehend a Mandate of Dao." Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice as he bowed to Old Mo. He didn't mean to be disrespectful. He felt that in order to achieve success on the Martial Path, other than having a great teacher, one had to depend more on one's own hard work and talent. Naturally, luck was also an important factor, just like how he had comprehended the Mandate of Dao when he entered the Dark Forest.
Old Mo furrowed his brows as he unhappily replied, "What do you know? In Chu, how many Yuanfu cultivators have comprehended a Mandate of Dao? Back then, due to a stroke of good fortune, I only managed to comprehend a Mandate of Dao when I was at the sixth level of Yuanfu. It took me tens of years before I stepped into the Transformation Realm today. Do you know how difficult it is to comprehend a Mandate of Dao?"
"As for Young Master Hua, he's currently at the fourth level of Yuanfu, and has already comprehended a Mandate of Dao for over a year. This is the disparity between us." Old Mo coldly stated, "Truly, the ignorant are fearless."
Qin Wentian saw the strict attitude of old man Mo, and knew that his earlier words had angered old man Mo. Hence, he didn't argue any further. If he were to display his will of Mandate now, old man Mo might think that he was intentionally causing him to be unable to step down from the stage, slapping his face. Such a misunderstanding was something Qin Wentian didn't want to see.
"Senior's teachings are right." Qin Wentian bitterly smiled. However, it wasn't as if he didn't gain anything today. After listening to Old Mo's words, he gained a better understanding of the Mandate of Dao. Not only was it an extremely tyrannical ability, it could also pave the way for him to step into Heavenly Dipper in the future.
Currently, he had only comprehended the Mandate of 'Force' from the Heavenly Hammer Astral Soul. In that case, his second and third Astral Souls weren't inferior to the Heavenly Hammer Astral Soul in the slightest. Hence, there was a chance for him to comprehend the other two Mandates.
"Young people should be more humble. You can leave now." Old Mo waved his hands at Qin Wentian, ordering him to leave.
Qin Wentian froze for a moment before bowing, "Junior will take his leave."
"I'll send him off," Mo Qingcheng stated in a low voice. After which, she ignored Old Mo's objections and directly left together with Qin Wentian, causing Old Mo's eyes to widen in anger. After which, he turned to Hua Xiaoyun and stated, "This child, it's all my fault for spoiling her too much."
"Don't worry about it. If she really has the talent Old Mo spoke of, I can introduce her to a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign as a master. Not only that, she would be able to join one of the transcendent powers of the Nine Continents," Hua Xiaoyun replied calmly.
"Haha, this old man thanks you so much." Old Mo laughed heartily as he sighed in his heart. Looking at Hua Xiaoyun's magnanimity, compared to Qin Wentian's ignorance, this was the difference between them.
Actually, in his heart, Old Mo had already made up his mind about Hua Xiaoyun and Qin Wentian. Hence, his thoughts were naturally biased against Qin Wentian. Even though Qin Wentian had behaved humbly, he still felt that Qin Wentian was too young and ignorant.
Mo Qingcheng and Qin Wentian walked in the Mo Residence. Mo Qingcheng leaned against Qin Wentian as she tugged on his hand, whispering in a low voice, "Wentian, Grandpa's personality is always like this. Please don't take it to heart."
"I know, you don't have to explain to me." Qin Wentian smiled. As someone who stood at the peak of Yuanfu in Chu, he would naturally be proud and arrogant. Not only that, he would frequently roam the Grand Xia Empire, and would naturally look down on those from Chu.
"In that case, don't be angry." Mo Qingcheng playfully laughed, as she shook Qin Wentian's arm.
"Okay." Qin Wentian smiled as he nodded his head. He wasn't so lacking in bearing.
"Oi oi oi, what a pair of lovers." Nolan, who was following behind, laughed. Mo Qingcheng turned her head and rolled her eyes. The current her was much more natural compared to before. After all, in her heart, she had already treated Qin Wentian as her other half. Hence, she didn't really care about what others thought of her.
"If you have the ability, go find one yourself." Mo Qingcheng joked.
"I can't be compared to you. The number one beauty of Chu, with countless suitors." Nolan's lips twitched as they walked out of the Mo Residence, only to see a person waiting outside. Upon seeing him, Qin Wentian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment before a smile appeared on his face.
"Long time no see." Immortal Drunken Wine smiled at Qin Wentian, his hands still holding onto a flask of wine.
"Looking for me?" Qin Wentian was somewhat bewildered.
"Mhm, there aren't many people in the Royal Capital who don't know that you have entered the Mo Residence. Why, are you here to propose marriage?" Immortal Drunken Wine glanced at Mo Qingcheng, who was standing beside Qin Wentian.
"Not so fast." Qin Wentian shrugged his shoulders. He didn't deny that he was here to propose marriage, only saying that it wouldn't be so fast. This caused a sweet smile to appear on Mo Qingcheng's face.
"Do you have time to drink a cup or two? There's someone who wishes to meet you." Immortal Drunken Wine got straight to the point.
"Sure." Qin Wentian straightforwardly agreed. He was also very curious, why would Immortal Drunken Wine run errands for someone? Who was it that wanted to meet him?
