Chu Mo's heart was indeed filled with curiosity. At the same time, he sensed that this old man was not an ordinary person. Thus, he tried his best to climb onto the fish's body. After a long time of effort, he finally climbed up from the fish's tail and moved up bit by bit. He finally saw the seven-colored scale that the old man had mentioned. It was on the top of the dorsal fin!
The scale was not as big as the others. Instead, it was surprisingly small, only the size of an adult's fingernail. It looked like a seven-colored gem that was embedded there, sparkling brilliantly. It was difficult not to notice such an obvious scale.
Chu Mo blurted out, "There really is …"
The old man's face was also filled with excitement as he asked loudly, "Kid, how big is that scale?"
"About … the size of a fingernail," replied Chu Mo.
The old man's excited expression immediately froze. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and sighed, "It's still not big enough …"
"What do you mean?" Chu Mo stood there and did not rush to take the scale. Instead, he looked at the old man.
"If it was the size of a fist, we could leave this godforsaken place together." The old man raised his head and looked at the gray sky above him. He did not speak for a long time. His eyes revealed a slightly disappointed expression.
Chu Mo was stunned as he stared blankly at the old man. He did not even know if the old man was speaking the truth or not.
After a long time, a wry smile appeared on the old man's pitch-black face as he said, "This is fate, the will of the heavens! How can it be so easy to get out of this sinful place? Forget it … Kid, take it and keep it. Whether you can escape from this place or not depends on it! "
Chu Mo could not help but gasp as he looked at the old man and said, "Why are you giving it to me? I didn't do anything. "
The old man glanced at Chu Mo and said with a wry smile, "Do you really think this old man wants to give it to you? Although this old man is not an evil person, I can't be that selfless. I'm giving it to you because this fish … is coming for you! It is your opportunity, and it is also your good fortune! Just now, I asked you how big the Rainbow Fish Scale is. If it's as big as a fist, then … it's our shared destiny! But now … forget it, you can take it off first. It's very easy. You'll know once you try. "
"What if I give this opportunity to you?" Chu Mo looked at the old man and asked seriously.
The old man was slightly stunned. He then looked at Chu Mo with great interest. "Kid, do you know what your words mean in this place?"
"I don't understand this place, but I can feel that it's not a good place. Moreover, it's very likely that we won't be able to get out once we enter, "Chu Mo said honestly.
"Then why do you still want to give it to me?" The old man looked at Chu Mo with an indescribable look in his eyes.
"You were the one who caught the fish." Chu Mo said, "If you hadn't told me this, I would never have known."
The old man stood there and looked at Chu Mo. He was silent for a long time before he said, "Sigh … So, this old man has been waiting here for a thousand years and I haven't seen a single Rainbow Golden Fish. The moment you came, it appeared. That's the difference! Kid, thank you for thinking of this old man, but it's useless. You're the only one who can take that seven-colored fish scale. "
At this moment, Chu Mo bent down and used his hand to touch the Rainbow Fish Scale that looked like a rainbow gem.
Crack!
With a crisp sound, the piece of rainbow-colored fish scale actually fell off and landed in Chu Mo's hand.
Following that, all the scales on the body of this huge Rainbow Golden Fish fell off like rain.
Crash!
Almost in an instant, the ground was covered with a huge pile of golden fish scales.
Following that, a scene that left Chu Mo dumbfounded happened!
After this Rainbow Golden Fish shed its scales, it actually began to disappear slowly!
"This … What's going on?" Chu Mo stood on the back of the huge fish with an extremely shocked expression on his face.
"Jump down." The old man said loudly, "This isn't a real fish … This is the manifestation of the Dao Realm!"
Chu Mo immediately jumped down from the fish. Using the momentum of the fall, he somersaulted a few times before stabilizing himself. Then, he turned his head and stared blankly at the huge golden fish disappearing at an extremely fast speed.
At this moment, the old man came to Chu Mo's side and said faintly, "This place is the Land of Heavenly Punishment and also the Land of Sin. Some people even call this place the Underworld. Hmm, to be precise, the place we are at is the border of the Underworld. It's a completely sealed world! "
The old man walked to the pile of Rainbow Golden Fish Scales, bent down to pick one up and flicked it lightly with his hand.
Clang!
A metallic sound rang out.
He continued, "Those who come to this place are all people who are not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao. Those who fail to transcend the tribulation but don't die; those who have done evil deeds devoid of conscience but don't deserve to be annihilated; and there are also those who have violated the Heavenly Dao for some inexplicable reason … In short, this place is like a place of exile. But the Heavens will always leave people with a chance of survival. Even if this person is really a wicked and evil person, the Heavens will not really be so ruthless. So, they left behind this back door. "
Chu Mo said in a daze, "This Rainbow Golden Fish?"
The old man nodded. "That's right. This Rainbow Golden Fish is the manifestation of the Great Dao. At the same time, its body carries many kinds of Divine Metals. Those who are fated can fish it up and obtain the Divine Metals on its body. Only those who are fated can see the Rainbow Golden Scales on its body. So, if the person who climbed onto this big fish today was me and not you … then, there's an eighty to ninety percent chance that I won't be able to see this Rainbow Golden Scale! "
"I'm very confused right now. Please enlighten me, Senior." Chu Mo looked at the Rainbow Golden Scale in his hand, then solemnly cupped his fists and bowed to the old man.
The old man said, "Even if you didn't ask, I would have told you. Because with this great fated encounter of yours, I believe that the fated encounter that belongs to this old man … is not far away! Speaking of which, this old man still has to thank you! "
Chu Mo said blushingly, "I should be the one thanking you, Senior." As he spoke, Chu Mo handed the Rainbow Golden Fish Scale in his hand to the old man and said, "This Rainbow Golden Fish Scale is for you, Senior."
"Haha, do you still not understand? This Rainbow Golden Fish Scale is the manifestation of the Great Dao. It represents … a kind of Dao! "The old man looked at Chu Mo." So, this Dao belongs to you alone! I can't use it! "
Chu Mo looked at the small Rainbow Golden Fish Scale in his hand with a puzzled expression. He didn't feel any Dao aura from this scale at all.
"This is a forbidden place that isolates all Daos." The old man looked at Chu Mo. "So, you can't feel the Dao aura from it. But if you leave this place, you'll understand."
"Senior, tell me about this place." Chu Mo looked at the old man.
"Okay." The old man led Chu Mo to sit on a rock by the river and said slowly, "Before entering this place, I actually never heard of the existence of such a place in this world. At that time, I only knew of the Heavenly Realm, the Immortal Realm, the Spiritual Realm … Oh, and the Human Realm. So, even if someone told me about it at that time, I wouldn't believe that such a place really existed in this world. Just like the Six Paths of Reincarnation, it's said that after people die, they can reincarnate, but who has actually seen it? Who can prove this? "
Chu Mo nodded and said, "Indeed."
