This was a barren land. Despite the abundance of spirit energy, it was extremely desolate.
The entire receiving area was overgrown with weeds, and even trees were overgrown. Chu Mo had to push aside the weeds to barely see the ancient stone slab beneath his feet. The slab was engraved with some vague, mysterious inscriptions.
Chu Mo was rather speechless. He thought to himself, 'Although there are quite a few Guidance Lands in every realm above the Spiritual Realm, aren't they too barren?'
Had the entire Spiritual Realm given up on these places?
That was indeed a possibility. After all, it had been too many years since anyone from the human world had ascended here.
"Let's go and find a safe place to establish our foundation." Chu Mo glanced at the rooster, picked a random direction, and set off.
The Spiritual Realm was vast, far beyond the human world. It wouldn't be easy to find the elves' habitat in the shortest amount of time. After all, the elves had been hiding in the Spiritual Realm for many years. Their foundation was unfathomable.
Moreover, Chu Mo wasn't fully prepared to meet Qi Xiaoyu. What should he say when he did? What should he say? Would she avoid seeing him?
Chu Mo wasn't the type to worry about personal gains and losses, but he couldn't be at ease when it came to his own feelings.
Qi Xiaoyu had thought he was dead at the time and swore never to enter the Illusion God Realm again. Chu Mo blamed himself for this. He wondered how she was doing now.
It had been more than six years since he'd met her.
The fourteen-year-old boy from back then had also grown into a twenty-year-old youth.
Chu Mo's appearance hadn't changed much. Those familiar with him would be able to recognize him at a glance.
His top priority was to find a safe place to establish his foundation.
Only by becoming a true cultivator would he be able to establish himself in the Spiritual Realm. Otherwise, he would only be a cultivator.
Just like that, the man and the rooster quietly left the area. There was no commotion. The beings of the Spirit Realm would never have imagined that on such an ordinary day, a youth who had once caused a huge uproar in the Illusory God Realm and shook the Heaven, Immortal, and Spirit Realms would come to their world.
About five hundred kilometers away from Chu Mo and the big rooster, there was a small group of people lying on the hillside, looking nervously at the path below.
There was no one on that road.
The afternoon sun was exceptionally warm, and the birds in the forest were chirping weakly.
The team on the hillside had a total of six people, five men and one woman. Looking at their ages, they were all quite young. The oldest was only 27 or 28 years old, and the youngest was the girl, who looked to be 18 or 19 years old.
At this moment, the expression on the girl's face was the most nervous. He clenched his fists tightly and stared at the road without blinking.
"Xiaolu, don't be so nervous. With Big Brother Liu taking action this time, there will definitely be no problem." A young man in his twenties saw the girl's nervous expression and couldn't help but comfort her in a low voice.
Another man in his twenties looked at the young man in his late twenties with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He also said to the girl, "Xiaolu, Wang Wen is right. Don't worry too much. With Big Brother Liu taking action this time, those people will definitely not be a match for us!"
The girl's nervousness seemed to ease a little. She looked at the oldest young man with gratitude and said softly, "Big Brother Liu, I'm counting on you!"
The young man had a faint and proud smile on his face. He said, "Don't worry. I accepted your payment, so I naturally have to help you. Besides … I also like your sister very much."
The girl's mouth twitched. She laughed awkwardly and didn't reply.
On the other hand, another young man in his late twenties had an ugly expression. He said in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Liu, what do you mean by that?"
The young man with the surname Liu chuckled. The corners of his mouth curled up into a faint smile as he softly said, "Nothing much, just a casual remark."
The young man in his late twenties seemed to want to say something with an indignant expression, but he was stopped by his companions. The girl glared fiercely at him from the shadows as well, and only then did she stop speaking.
The young man surnamed Liu noticed their reactions, yet he acted as if he didn't notice it, and he sneered in his heart. A bumpkin wants to marry a girl like Fang Lan? Dream on! If it wasn't for me taking a liking to Fang Lan, would I even care about that little bit of spirit stones of yours?
The young man surnamed Liu was called Liu Tong, and he was a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. In an area of a few hundred kilometers around Silken City, he could be considered to be slightly famous. It wasn't because of his identity as a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, but it was because his sect was the largest sect in an area of 5,000km — the Spirit Rhyme Sect!
As an inner court disciple of the Spirit Rhyme Sect, Liu Tong's status was naturally not low in this area. This was also the main reason why he dared accept this assignment today and go against the Jin Clan. Because he was confident that even if the members of the Jin Clan saw through his identity, the Jin Clan would absolutely not dare do anything to him!
It was only a large clan in Silken City, and it was too inferior when compared to a colossus like the Spirit Rhyme Sect!
Liu Tong thought like this in his heart. The facts seemed to be like this as well.
The Jin Clan was indeed unable to compare to the Spirit Rhyme Sect, but it was difficult to say if the Jin Clan was able to compare to him, Liu Tong.
This young girl called Xiaolu's full name was Fang Lu, and she was born in a small clan in Fang Clan Town below Silken City. Her older sister, Fang Lan, was 20 years old and born with a natural beauty that was like a flower and jade. She possessed a strength at the peak of the Congenital Realm and was about to establish her foundation.
Because the clan didn't have sufficient financial resources to purchase foundation building materials, they had to rely on themselves to obtain them. Thus, Fang Lan stepped onto the path of searching for foundation building materials a few months ago.
How could foundation building materials be so easy to find? Fang Lan searched everywhere to no avail, yet she encountered the Eighth Young Master of Silken City's Jin Clan, Jin Ming. Jin Ming was instantly shocked when he saw Fang Lan for the first time.
Even though Jin Ming didn't join a sect, the Jin Clan similarly had a long history of learning, and he was only 23 this year, yet he was already an initial-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.
Relying on the power of the Jin Clan, he could be said to run amuck in Silken City, and no one dared offend him.
A small clan like the Fang Clan naturally couldn't afford to offend such a large clan. When faced with the group that Jin Ming sent to seek marriage, the Fang Clan was utterly powerless to resist and could only allow Fang Lan to be taken away.
This sort of matter seemed to be forcefully seizing a woman, but Jin Ming did it very well. Calling cards, betrothal gifts … Everything was present. As far as many people in Fang Clan Town were concerned, Fang Lan had climbed up the tree and become a phoenix!
Such a good thing was something that they couldn't even beg for.
Actually, even though Fang Lan's parents were slightly resistant in the beginning, after they got a complete understanding of the Jin Clan, their resistant thoughts weakened.
What sort of clan was the Jin Clan? If their own daughter were to marry over, even if it was to be a concubine, it would still be climbing up the tree!
Moreover, once she married over, the Fang Clan's status in Fang Clan Town would naturally rise along with the tide, and Fang Lan wouldn't have to painstakingly search for the foundation building materials herself. It was simply killing two birds with one stone.
However, Fang Lan was extremely unwilling because she already had a sweetheart.
