Zhenzhen carefully glanced at the people at the table and said a little awkwardly, "I... I don't think I should sit here."
Jiang Caiyue smiled and said, "Since you are friends of Chu Mo, come and sit." As she said this, she motioned for a member of the Allheaven royal family to move his seat and said, "Just sit next to me." She then smiled at Chu Mo.
Zhenzhen naturally knew about Jiang Caiyue. Hearing her say this, her heart was filled with gratitude and she no longer denied that she was friends with Chu Mo. Even if they had been enemies in the past, at this moment, it could be said that she had entered Chu Mo's camp. And from now on, it was impossible for her to change camps. Ji Xuefeng's group must hate her to death. It wasn't because she, a Supremacy, was very important, but mainly because her betrayal was a very demoralizing and humiliating matter to the side branches of the royal family.
At this time, Jiang Caiyue secretly transmitted her voice to Chu Mo and said, "Be wary of the side branch. There are real powerful people among them. Although they won't attack you openly, they will definitely make some small moves in the dark to trick you. "
Chu Mo nodded.
Then the banquet began.
This was the first time Chu Mo had attended a banquet of the royal family. Looking at the dazzling array of precious delicacies on the table, Chu Mo did not know more than half of them.
At this time, Jiang Caiyue played the role of an interpreter, introducing the origins of these dishes to Chu Mo and Zhenzhen. It could be seen that she had a very special position in the Allheaven royal family. Even a proud direct descendant of the royal family like Ji Xiaowang behaved in front of her.
After three rounds of wine, people began to toast everywhere.
Chu Mo had wanted to toast his parents, but he did not expect that there would be an endless stream of people coming to him. The first one to walk over was Saint Ji.
"Chu Mo." Saint Ji looked at Chu Mo and said in a low voice. Everyone else quieted down.
Chu Mo looked at Saint Ji with a calm expression.
"I still don't like you." Saint Ji did not exercise his powers to get rid of the alcohol. That handsome face of his was slightly flushed. He looked at Chu Mo and said, "However, I've come to realize that you actually have some redeeming qualities."
This arrogant fellow among the younger generation of the royal family was still the same, speaking without any consideration for the feelings of others. He glanced at Zhenzhen, who was standing next to Jiang Caiyue, and then said to Chu Mo, "At least you still have some magnanimity."
Chu Mo looked at Saint Ji and said plainly, "That's right. I hate you too. If you were to die one day, it would be because of that mouth of yours."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent. There weren't many people in the Allheaven Celestial Realm who dared to say such things about a prince. Most of the people present had never heard of it before. So their expressions all changed all of a sudden, looking at Saint Ji nervously.
Even Ji Qi, Chu Tianji and Ji Qingyu at the main table couldn't help but look over. There was a hint of helplessness in Ji Qingyu's eyes, while there was undisguised admiration in Chu Tianji's eyes, as if to say, "That's my son!"
Saint Ji was stunned for a moment. This was probably the first time he had heard someone say such things about him to his face. But in the blink of an eye, he suddenly laughed and said, "Chu Mo, I suddenly realized that I don't hate you that much anymore. Because you're right! Not hypocritical! My mouth stinks! Hahahaha. " As he said this, Saint Ji directly drank the wine in his glass and then turned to leave. "I was going to tell you not to embarrass the royal family, but now I suddenly don't want to say it. Now I just want to say, don't embarrass yourself! "
The atmosphere in the hall relaxed in an instant, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that Saint Ji would suddenly explode and mess up the banquet again. Not only would it be a joke to those from the side branch, but it would also cast an ominous shadow over the upcoming battle.
Fortunately, Saint Ji was not that stupid. Although he was arrogant, he was not an idiot, and he was somewhat broad-minded.
But then again, this group of descendants of the royal family, who had always been high and mighty, also had a taste of Chu Mo's temper. He was not the kind of person who would spoil others!
Later, a large number of descendants of the royal family began to come over to toast to Chu Mo, and among them, there was no lack of princesses who came over to express their goodwill to Chu Mo.
Everyone who came over to toast was treated with courtesy by Chu Mo, which was very different from the attitude he used to treat Saint Ji. However, all of these people could also feel the alienation in Chu Mo's politeness. And no one cared. If it were them, they probably would not have been able to be as generous as Chu Mo.
Because they all knew very well that Chu Mo's achievements today had nothing to do with the royal family at all! It was all his own hard work, one step at a time.
Until the end of the banquet, Chu Mo still did not have a chance to toast to his parents, because his place was too crowded.
But after the banquet, he finally had time to chat with his parents for a while.
Zhenzhen was taken away by Jiang Caiyue, and in the words that Jiang Caiyue transmitted to Chu Mo, such a girl would be better off with me than with you. If those people from the side branch of the Allheaven royal family want to pick a fight, let them come to me.
Jiang Caiyue's repeated displays of goodwill finally moved Chu Mo a little. He did not stand on ceremony anymore and nodded in agreement.
In Chu Tianji and Ji Qingyu's room, the family of three gathered together. Ji Qingyu boiled water for the father and son to make tea.
Chu Tianji sat there and looked at Chu Mo, "Son, how confident are you in the next battle?"
Chu Mo thought for a moment, "It should be fifty-fifty."
"Fifty-fifty?" Chu Tianji frowned, "That's a little low."
"Father, don't talk about me. How confident are you against a cultivator like Zhong Cheng?" Chu Mo looked at Chu Tianji. Compared to himself, he was more worried about his father.
No matter how powerful Saint Zhong was, he was at most a Quasi Saint. Although Chu Mo was still a distance away from a Quasi Saint, it was not a big gap. Moreover, he believed that he could take that step in battle. But the battle between Zhong Cheng and his father would be different.
Zhong Cheng had already stepped into the Great Saint realm for many years, but his father had just become a Saint. Even if Zhong Cheng suppressed his realm to become a Saint, his understanding of that realm was far beyond his father's.
This was not to boost his opponent's morale, it was an iron-clad fact.
Chu Tianji smiled and said, "If he doesn't break the seal and returns to the Great Saint realm, I have 100% confidence. If he breaks the seal and returns to the Great Saint realm, I have 30% confidence! "
"What?" Chu Mo looked at his father in shock. He did not think that his father was the kind of person who liked to brag, but these words were a little too exaggerated, right?
100% confidence? What kind of concept was that? That was basically a one-sided beating!
Chu Tianji looked at his son and sighed softly, "Do you think that our Yan Huang Great Region does not have any powerful legacies? Do you think that your grandfather was really just an ordinary Quasi Saint in the past? The path that we have to walk is too arduous, and it is too difficult to raise one's cultivation level. If we had chosen another path, your grandfather would have long become a Saint, or even a Great Saint! Even I would be the same! "
Chu Mo stared at his father, dumbfounded, and muttered, "What path? Tempering one's body? "
In Chu Mo's view, the greatest difference between the Chu Clan's path and other cultivators' was the tempering of one's body. Take his Progenitor Body for example. Although he was still at the Supreme Martial Artist Realm, his body was already comparable to a Sage's!
To put it bluntly, he had taken a blow from a Sage head-on. His cultivation might have been damaged, but his body would not have suffered too much damage!
"It's not just what you think," Chu Tianji said in a low voice. "The universe is vast, and there are countless ways to cultivate. There are many ways to temper one's body. For you to be able to achieve the Progenitor Body is one of the ways to temper one's body. This is also the path that your mother and I planned for you back then. We just did not think that you would actually succeed. As for the Chu Clan, the path that we really want to walk is not your path. "
At this moment, Ji Qingyu poured tea for the father and son. He said softly, "The path that the Chu Clan walks is unique in the entire Great Heaven Universe. Otherwise, why would the Tribulation Taker of the prophecy appear in our family? "
Chu Mo took a deep breath and looked at his parents.
Chu Tianji shook his head. "That path is different from yours. We can't even verify each other. Therefore, I can't tell you the true core of the Chu Clan. That would have a negative impact on your future. However, you don't have to worry. Although your path was chosen by your mother and I, you walked it on your own. Therefore, your path isn't bad. On the contrary, it might even be better for you to walk on this path. You haven't discovered the true potential in you yet. Therefore, the battle between you and Sage Zhong was definitely not a 50-50 fight. Boldly release the shackles of your Progenitor Body. You will discover that you can beat up a mere Sage Zhong at will! "
"My body … has a secret that I haven't discovered?" Chu Mo was indeed a little surprised.
"There is no end to the Dao," Ji Qingyu said. "You must have absolute confidence in yourself."
Chu Mo pondered for a moment. Then, he nodded and suddenly asked, "Father, Mother, do you know how this prophecy came about? That Esteemed Ling Tong … what kind of mentality did he have to make this prophecy? "
Chu Tianji and Ji Qingyu looked at each other. There was a hint of helplessness in their eyes.
Chu Mo's question went straight to the heart of the matter. It was not only the three of them, it was also the biggest crisis facing the entire Allheaven Royal Family. As a direct descendant of the royal family, Ji Qingyu already knew a lot of secrets before she was suppressed by her elder brother.
However, at that time, Ji Qingyu didn't realize that these secrets would be closely intertwined with her fate. It would create such a huge karma.
"This matter is actually a long story. This is already related to the oldest grudge. Almost no one outside knows the truth. " With a wave of his hand, Ji Qingyu took out a few more Dharma artifacts and sealed the room into a small isolated world.
After doing all this, she said, "Esteemed Ling Tong is the person who fought with the Ji Royal Family for the Providence of the Allheaven Celestial Realm."
Chu Mo was startled and looked at his mother.
