Though decades had passed, she still remembered that voice.
She turned around sharply.
A familiar figure appeared before her eyes.
Tall and upright, with a handsome face.
Her eyes instantly turned red, and like a homing swallow, she threw herself into Shen Mo’s arms.
“Xiao Mo, I missed you so much... really so much…”
Tears streamed down Murong Yue’s cheeks.
In the blink of an eye, Shen Mo’s chest was soaked.
Shen Mo gently stroked her hair and chuckled softly. “Aren’t I back now?”
“The demon calamity is over, the chaos has settled. We can finally spend long days together.”
Murong Yue nodded hard.
She lifted her beautiful and delicate face and bit down fiercely on Shen Mo’s lips.
“Why didn’t you come back earlier?”
Shen Mo let out a bitter smile. “There were a lot of things to take care of…”
Murong Yue’s eyes turned sharp. “What could be more important than me?”
Shen Mo immediately shook his head. “Nothing, nothing. You are the most important.”
“Come. To my room. We need to talk properly,” Murong Yue gritted her teeth.
Shen Mo raised an eyebrow.
It seemed a fierce battle was inevitable.
He said at once, “Master’s orders—I dare not disobey.”
Silver bottle shattered, water burst forth. Iron cavalry charged, weapons clashed.
Their bodies tangled together, entwined for a long time.
As they lay together, Shen Mo told Murong Yue of his battles with the demon race, and of Ji Xuan’s grand plan that had been brewing for thousands of years.
Murong Yue shared how difficult it had been to cultivate the Ming Tian Divine Phoenix True Scripture, and how she had eventually become the sect master of Yuding Sect, backed by the elders’ support.
Murong Yue smiled. “With help from Elder Hai Qiankun and others, plus your renowned reputation as deterrence, the sect has flourished stronger than ever.”
“Except for a few sects making minor moves in the early years, the past decades have been mostly peaceful.”
Shen Mo smiled lightly. “Which sects made those moves?”
Murong Yue chuckled. “Cangzhou’s Shengling Sect, and Mozhou’s Mad Blade Alliance—but they were flattened more than ten years ago.”
Shen Mo finally nodded. “That’s good.”
Murong Yue fell silent for a moment. “And now… what realm are you at?”
Her voice trembled as she asked.
Shen Mo answered in a low voice, “Nirvana Realm.”
Murong Yue gave a bitter smile. “I’m still stuck at the peak of Divine Transformation Realm. Haven’t even reached Divine Palace Realm.”
“I’ve heard there’s a Dharma Aspect Realm above that?”
“The gap between us is growing wider and wider.”
Shen Mo smiled. “With me here, you’ll improve quickly.”
Murong Yue shook her head. “Forcing growth isn’t a good path.”
Shen Mo chuckled. “There are many heavenly treasures and elixirs in this world, with almost no side effects. They can raise your realm very quickly.”
“Luckily, I know where to find them.”
Murong Yue was stunned. “Really?”
Shen Mo smiled. “Come, I’ll take you somewhere good.”
A glowing portal appeared before them.
“Gaze directly into the portal,” Shen Mo said solemnly.
Their divine senses instantly entered.
Murong Yue looked around at the empty surroundings, astonished.
“Xiao Mo, what is this place? There’s nothing here.”
Shen Mo softly said four words, “Heavenly Dao Treasury.”
As the words fell, a massive golden list descended from the sky, landing before them.
Shen Mo said casually, “Search for heavenly materials for building the Divine Palace. Highest grade, of course.”
The massive list flickered rapidly.
A few breaths later, it stopped.
Four supreme-grade heavenly materials appeared in sequence.
