Chu Mo bowing to Esteemed Ling Tong was like a junior bowing to an elder. Esteemed Ling Tong was bowing to Chu Mo, but he was bowing to Chu Mo's oath!
Chu Mo didn't passively wait for fate to befall him. Instead, he chose to take the initiative!
His vow was like a great ambition. This grand ambition meant that from now on, Chu Mo had no way out!
If he retreated, the heavens would cover his eyes, the earth would bury his heart, and all living beings would suffer!
This karma was too great!
No one could bear it!
But this was Chu Mo's determination. It had always been like this. It had never changed.
Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi happily followed Chu Mo out of Elegant Waters Villa. At the moment of departure, Esteemed Ling Tong couldn't help but take out a few magic treasures and give them to the two women. He quietly gave them a few more instructions.
Seeing this scene, Chu Mo's heart was filled with emotions.
Things in the world were just so strange.
Before today, he had never thought that the person he had always regarded as a great enemy, the person who had cast a shadow over him for many years, would have such a relationship with him. Before reaching that level, Esteemed Ling Tong's methods seemed cruel and even cold-blooded.
The trap he had set could be said to have influenced the cultivation world of the entire Allheaven Great Cosmos for many years.
But after reaching that level, looking back, he found that behind the cruelty and cold-bloodedness, there was some warmth and even more … a deep sense of helplessness.
In this world, who was truly free?
Are those great cultivators who don't have godhoods in their heads truly free and unfettered?
Even when they reached the end of their lifespans, they still had to face the situation of their cultivation being taken away and being reincarnated.
In the entire passage, the top existences were also filled with helplessness deep in their hearts, right?
In comparison, Chu Mo was really just a small fry. His realm hadn't reached that level yet, and his vision … wasn't as high as those supreme existences. However, fate had forcefully pushed him into that position. Even if he wanted to escape, he couldn't.
Therefore, he could only face it!
Only living beings that had attained such a level would truly understand that the helplessness of the world would never truly vanish no matter when or where.
Sometimes, when he was in the Mortal World, those mortals could only live for a few decades or at most a hundred years. Although their lives were short, they were still very exciting.
The lifespan of a butterfly was only a few days. In the eyes of humans, this feeling was simply too desolate and full of sorrow. But who dares to say that butterflies are unhappy? Because to it, those few days were actually a lifetime.
Chu Mo's current mood was actually very calm.
With his two wives by his side, the process of finding them was much easier than he had imagined, even though there were some twists and turns.
Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi were also very happy. It had been a long time since they'd been taken away by Esteemed Master Ling Tong. Only when they were by Chu Mo's side would they feel happy and at ease.
Therefore, although the issue of life and death was important to them, it was ranked lower than being with Chu Mo. If they weren't by Chu Mo's side, their lives would be worse than death.
"I heard that the Buddha guards the west. I've seen an ancient map that says that there's a vast Great Cosmos in the west of the passage called the Imperial Sky Great Cosmos," Qi Xiaoyu said softly. "I heard that the civilization of that Great Cosmos is very splendid. There are also many peerless powerhouses in the passage who come from that universe."
Shui Yiyi said, "If there's a chance in the future, I'd like to go to all the other universes and see how different they are."
"Yes, I want to go too. Let's go together, okay?" Qi Xiaoyu said as she looked at Chu Mo.
Chu Mo smiled dotingly. "We'll go wherever you want to go."
"I hope that these troublesome matters can be resolved as soon as possible. That way, we can live happily. " Qi Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh and smile bitterly. "Unfortunately, that's not very likely."
Shui Yiyi smiled. "Home is where the heart is at peace."
Yes, home was where the heart was at peace. No matter where you were or what you had to face, you could live happily as long as your heart was at peace.
"Speaking of which, do the two of you believe Esteemed Ling Tong's words?" Chu Mo asked Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi.
"What about you, husband?" Qi Xiaoyu blinked her lively eyes as she gazed at Chu Mo.
"I'm willing to believe him," Chu Mo said.
"I was somewhat at a loss, because all of this was simply too bizarre for me to comprehend. What past life and next life? Who would remember their past life? Who would know about their next life? Perhaps it's because my realm isn't high enough, "Shui Yiyi said with a faint smile.
"Whether it's our past lives or our next lives, we're all living in the present," Qi Xiaoyu said softly. Then, she smiled. "That's why I think it's enough to live this life well. When we reach the Grand Supreme Realm, we have to think about higher things and plan all sorts of things. I think it's too tiring. "
Once upon a time, both Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi had been heroic heroines with a heart that rivaled any man's. But everything had to go through a process of recognition and acceptance. Once it exceeded the limits of one's understanding, exhaustion would set in. In truth, hadn't Chu Mo been holding on all these years?
He'd wanted to let go of everything and have a good rest.
Just like after his wedding with Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi, he'd wanted to rest for a while and spend time with his two wives. He wanted to live a simple but warm life. Unfortunately...
"But we're together again in the end!" Shui Yiyi hooked one of Chu Mo's arms with a smile. "It feels so good."
Qi Xiaoyu took Chu Mo's other arm, and the three of them flew through the air like a celestial couple.
The passage was vast and boundless, but the three of them were happy and didn't feel tired at all. They deliberately avoided the large human cities and headed west.
Along the way, they encountered a few powerful beings blocking their way. Chu Mo left them to the two women to deal with. If they couldn't, Chu Mo would take care of them.
He'd even subdued a divine bird at the progenitor realm. It was a giant eagle covered in blue feathers and had a wingspan of several dozen meters after shrinking. He flew west with the three of them.
The further west they went, the fewer people there were. In the end, they flew for half a month without seeing a single trace of human life.
Instead, the number of powerful beings increased.
The progenitor eagle hadn't been convinced at first and tried to find all sorts of reasons to escape or refuse to cooperate. But after being beaten up twice by Chu Mo, it became much more obedient. Moreover, Chu Mo had already promised it that after completing this task, he would return to the place where he first met it and let it go.
"Be careful," the eagle reminded Chu Mo. "There are many strange beings in the Boundless Swamp. They may not have a high cultivation, but they all have frightening abilities."
"I understand." Chu Mo nodded with a serious look on his face.
In fact, on this journey to the west, Chu Mo wanted to ask the Buddha about those secrets. On the other hand, it was also a cultivation journey for Chu Mo.
At the progenitor realm, one's understanding of the dao deepened, and one's horizons had to be broadened. It wasn't as simple as locking oneself up and cultivating in seclusion for a few years.
As for whether he'd be able to meet the Buddha as he wished, Chu Mo wasn't sure. It was hard to say. If fate was right, he might be able to meet the Buddha. If fate wasn't right, he might not be able to meet the Buddha even if he waited for thousands of years.
Therefore, Chu Mo was quite at ease and didn't have many desires or desires.
He had always been like this. If he could handle it himself, he'd try his best to handle it himself. If he really couldn't handle it, it would be best if someone helped him, but if there wasn't, he wouldn't be too disappointed.
It had always been like this since he'd traveled from the human realm.
The three of them rode on the giant eagle. Five years passed in a blink of an eye. This time, Chu Mo didn't even use the Teleportation Formation because these places were too desolate. Once they used the Teleportation Formation, as long as someone was paying attention, they would definitely be able to find them through the Teleportation Formation.
In the past five years, Chu Mo's cultivation had improved, but he didn't deliberately improve it too much. He would spend more time helping the two women improve their cultivation. He would often stop to explain the scriptures to the two girls.
This blue eagle also benefited from him. When Chu Mo explained the scriptures, he wouldn't deliberately avoid it. To be able to meet was also a form of fate. The giant eagle was well-behaved enough, so Chu Mo didn't mind giving it some benefits.
For the eagle, this wasn't just a small benefit. It was a natural-born spirit creature, possessing a cultivation equivalent to a human's at birth. At the same time, it had its own heritage.
It knew quite a few combat arts and spells.
However, compared to the human race, which had a complete cultivation system, these non-human techniques were a bit lacking.
In battle, they mostly used their physical strength to fight against their enemies, and not their powerful magic power or cultivation level.
Chu Mo's lecture was not about combat techniques. In fact, after countless years of growth, creatures like the giant eagle did not lack combat abilities. What they lacked was the ability to comprehend the great dao of heaven and earth. That was what Chu Mo was talking about.
Several years were enough for the eagle to establish a relatively smooth relationship with Chu Mo's trio. The constant listening to the white-haired man made the giant eagle feel like it didn't want to leave his side. She felt that it wasn't a bad thing to be able to stay by his side and listen to the scriptures and fight alongside him.
In the ninth year, Qi Xiaoyu was finally about to break through!
Her cultivation was much higher than Shui Yiyi's, and her comprehension ability wasn't the least bit inferior to Chu Mo's. Therefore, with enough cultivation resources and someone at Chu Mo's level lecturing at her side, Qi Xiaoyu's cultivation rose at a rapid pace!
She was about to face her tribulation.
Qi Xiaoyu smiled. "I don't think a Investiture of the Gods or something will float over here, right?"
"Your joke isn't funny," Shui Yiyi said seriously. "Don't spout nonsense. We just want to be safe!"
Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi hugged lightly. The two of them were deeply in love. Even if Master Ling Tong hadn't mentioned that they were the same person, the two women had a tacit understanding of each other.
Chu Mo looked at Qi Xiaoyu. "Are you confident?"
Qi Xiaoyu nodded. "Don't worry, I'm confident."
Qi Xiaoyu waved a hand with a relaxed expression, then leaped into the air.
