Elder Mu's doubt …
It quickly became the common doubt of the upper echelons of the five Heavenly Gates.
But this did not affect the change in their attitude towards the Scorching Sun Valley.
In the simplest words …
Since the Sword Thearch had a clear attitude towards the Scorching Sun Valley, they did not need to show any attitude towards the Scorching Sun Valley.
What they needed to do was to follow this attitude under the tacit approval of the Karma Realm and use practical actions to defend the Sword Thearch's attitude.
To Elder Mu, this was a pleasant surprise.
To the various forces that lost their soldiers in the Scorching Sun Valley, this was a pleasant surprise.
Because once the Sword Thearch expressed his stance …
No matter what, the Scorching Sun Valley was no longer just a matter between the South and West Heavenly Gates. At least the Four Heavenly Gates and even the Middle Heavenly Gate had to participate.
After the big shots set the tone, things became very simple.
They definitely had to investigate the unusual movements of the Demons in the Scorching Sun Valley.
The investigation did not determine the actions of the various Heavenly Gates in the future. Because no matter what they found, they had to organize an army, raise the Sword Thearch's will, and suppress the Scorching Sun Valley.
There were many Great Emperors in the Human-Demon Battlefield, and many of them had even fallen …
But to be able to participate in a battle that the Great Emperors would directly or indirectly make them excited.
Even Chu Mo couldn't help but feel a little excited.
However, thinking of the Burial Tablet Cliff, he felt that he might have grown to the point where he could remain calm even if it involved the Great Emperors. Thus, he regained his calmness and walked towards the Ancient Stairway Tower.
But before he walked out of the encampment, he was stopped by Feng Po.
"Senior Brother Feng Po, what can I do for you?"
Even after that incident, Chu Mo was still very respectful towards the people from Elder Mu's faction.
Feng Po immediately returned the greeting and sized up Chu Mo with a complicated gaze.
"Junior Brother Chu Mo, you're too polite. I'm here to pass something to you on behalf of Master …"
As he spoke, Feng Po took out a small and exquisite jade bottle from his chest.
Even though it was sealed in the jade bottle, it could not stop the thing inside from emitting traces of a strange fragrance.
Chu Mo's heart jumped a few times when he smelled the strange fragrance.
However, in the next moment, he regained his composure and took three steps back. He bowed to the jade bottle and said softly but resolutely, "Although I don't dare to reject a gift from an elder, please tell Elder Mu that I don't dare to accept it."
Chu Mo's performance was completely seen by Feng Po.
"The Northstar Cultivation Enhancement Pill …"
Feng Po sighed.
The Northstar Cultivation Enhancement Pill was one of the most valuable immortal medicines in the Hunyuan Immortal Sect.
Just from the name of the Celestial Herb, one could tell that it could increase a Qi Practitioner's cultivation.
This kind of immortal medicine was extremely rare to begin with. What was even more precious was that Qi Practitioners who used the Northstar Cultivation Enhancement Pill to increase their cultivation base wouldn't have to worry too much about it.
This was because he only needed to rest for a hundred years to stabilize his foundation.
Because of this …
Even in the Hunyuan Immortal Sect, the Northstar Cultivation Enhancement Pill was a treasure that could only be obtained through luck.
Feng Po remembered very clearly that when his Junior Brother, Xun Song, broke through to the Dao Breaking realm and became a Daozu, his master had given him a Northstar Cultivation Enhancement Pill as a congratulatory gift and given it to him to refine. It had shortened his cultivation time in the Daozu realm by at least a third.
In their lineage, only his Junior Brother had the right to do so.
Feng Po was not jealous.
However, when he thought about how ecstatic his Junior Brother was when he received the Northstar Cultivation Enhancement Pill …
When he compared that ecstasy with Chu Mo's calm rejection …
He felt that the two paragons of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect could not be compared at all.
Feng Po pulled back his drifting thoughts. Then, he smiled bitterly and said, "Junior Brother, if you really want to refuse, can you do me a favor?"
"Senior Brother, please speak. As long as I can …"
"Just help me collect my corpse."
"Huh?"
"Master said that if I can't give away the Northstar Cultivation Enhancement Pill, I don't have to go back."
Chu Mo was not surprised.
He understood what Elder Mu was worried about.
If this matter reached Elder Ba's ears, it would mean that the entire Hunyuan Immortal Sect would know.
If that happened …
Not to mention Xun Song, even Elder Mu's entire lineage would suffer heavy losses. Whether Elder Mu could still be an inner sect elder of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect was also questionable.
Therefore, a Northstar Cultivation Enhancement Pill could not compare to the losses that Elder Mu's lineage might suffer.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Mo sighed and respectfully took the jade bottle from Chu Mo's hand with both hands. He solemnly said, "Please tell Elder Mu that Martial Nephew will remember Elder Mu's kindness."
He rejected calmly.
He accepted it calmly.
Feng Po felt like he was hallucinating.
He did not seem to be facing Chu Mo, but Xie Tian, who was trapped in the Scorching Sun Valley.
As if sensing that his thoughts were wandering again, he shook his head and watched as Chu Mo carefully put away the jade bottle.
As for why his master would give such a precious immortal herb to Chu Mo, he did not know.
In his opinion, it was probably related to Xun Song, and it might be related to the Ancient Heavenly Stairway trial.
Logically speaking, these things should not be his concern. However …
"I wonder if Junior Brother has time? I have something to talk to you about."
Chu Mo hesitated for a moment, then nodded and smiled. "I have no reason to disobey Senior Brother's orders. Please."
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the two of them sat opposite each other in Chu Mo's cave abode.
"Senior Brother knows that Junior Brother's time is precious, so I'll get straight to the point." Feng Po smiled and tried his best to speak in a gentle tone. "Two years ago at the banquet, Junior Brother clearly said that you were not interested in the Ancient Heavenly Stairway. Why are you so eager now? Please clarify my doubts, Junior Brother."
Chu Mo smiled bitterly. After a while, he said softly, "I can only tell Senior Brother that no matter what I do, it will not be against Senior Brother Xun Song."
After staring at Chu Mo for a long time, Feng Po knew that he was speaking the truth. However, he also understood that it was impossible to know the specific reason why Chu Mo changed his mind and went to the Ancient Heavenly Stairway.
"I'm not afraid of Junior Brother laughing at me. Hearing you say that, I feel much better …"
Feng Po smiled shamelessly, then sighed. "To be honest, I used to think that Junior Brother was an arrogant Heaven's Favorite. I didn't expect Junior Brother's character to be even more admirable than your aptitude. Perhaps this is the reason why Junior Brother is able to progress so quickly."
"Haha, Senior Brother is right …" Chu Mo sighed as if he couldn't bear to look back. "In the past, I was indeed extremely arrogant. But later on, I realized that not only was it shallow, it was even more laughable … To tell you the truth, the reason why I've changed now is because I've been beaten too badly by others …"
"Oh?" Feng Po's expression froze. "There's such a thing? Who was so presumptuous to target Junior Brother? "
Chu Mo smiled bitterly. "The point is, the other party was not targeting me at all …"
"Then who was it targeting?"
"He wasn't targeting anyone …"
"This …"
"So, the Burial Tablet Cliff collapsed."
