As soon as Chu Mo stepped out of the wooden house on the hillside, he saw that stunningly beautiful and aloof girl sitting under the tree by the door, cultivating.

Almost the instant he appeared, the girl opened her eyes and whispered:

"You're back."

The voice was as clear and calm as ever, without any ripples.

It was as if he had simply gone out and returned home.

Chu Mo found this scene very familiar.

The last time he came back, the girl was sitting in the same spot, saying the same things.

He couldn't help but chuckle, then plopped down on the rock next to her.

"Nangong Xiu, do you enjoy cultivating in this place?"

"The scenery here is beautiful."

This time, the girl didn't look away. She gazed into the distance and answered softly. After a short silence, she added:

"I've made a breakthrough."

"Congratulations, you're really amazing. You truly deserve to be called the number one genius of Lingyin Village."

Chu Mo gave a heartfelt exclamation of praise.

The other party's talent is indeed outstanding and beyond the ordinary.

If he hadn't had a cheat device, he might not have been able to crush his opponent.

Upon hearing his praise, the girl's beautiful eyes subtly changed, but she quickly regained her cool composure and continued:

"Many people in the village have broken through to higher levels, and everyone is very grateful for the spirit stones you gave them."

"Stone Brother's hunting team even captured a Earth-Splitting Bear alive and brought it back to keep as a pet, saying they'd use it as a snack with your drinks when you come."

Chu Mo felt a warmth in his heart and couldn't help but smile:

"It's just a few spirit stones, nothing to worry about. I brought back a lot this time."

Upon hearing this, the girl's eyes lit up, a hint of surprise flashing in them, and a beautiful smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

"Grandpa Qin went to the edge of the Burial God Abyss a few days ago. I'll go with you to find him."

"Why did Master go to the Burial Abyss? Has something changed there?"

Chu Mo's tone was worried, and a bad thought flashed through his mind.

Seeing his expression, Nangong Xiu couldn't help but comfort him:

"In recent years, Grandpa Qin has been going to check on things for a few days every two months, and he's fine."

Chu Mo was slightly relieved, and then he and Nangong Xiu headed towards the Burial God Abyss.

Soon, a desolate and eerie canyon came into view before the two of them.

Was this the very place where the Human Emperor fought to the death?

Looking around at the ravines and gullies, the terrifying canyons stretching for hundreds of kilometers, and the majestic mountains covering thousands of miles, one can see the surrounding landscape.

Chu Mo couldn't help but feel shocked.

He simply couldn't imagine that this place had once been a plain.

Everyone would simply think that this is the work of nature.

Moreover, this is only the tip of the iceberg he has seen. What kind of scene will it be outside the Prisoner Array?

A deep sense of awe rose within him.

How terrifying that battle must have been!

He looked up and saw his master sitting on a huge rock in the distance, quietly gazing in the direction of the temple.

The old man had obviously noticed them too, and turned around to wave at them.

"Master!"

Grandpa Qin!

The two appeared beside the old man in an instant and looked up into the distance.

In the center of the canyon, a huge, dark shadow lay quietly.

Surrounded by swirling black mist, the shadow resembled a ferocious beast shrouded in darkness, exuding an immense and terrifying pressure.

"Master, has anything changed here?" Chu Mo couldn't help but ask.

Qin Potian sighed deeply, his eyes more solemn than ever before.

"Based on my observations over the past few days, it seems that a mysterious power is slowly awakening beneath this palace."

"The day when the forbidden area opens is probably not too far away."

When the old man said this, he did not try to hide it from Nangong Xiu, which clearly indicated that he already knew about it.

After saying that, he glanced at Chu Mo again and asked, "You came back this time for something, right?"

"I have made some new discoveries and would like to ask my master and fellow disciples for their guidance."

"Okay, let's go back to the village first."

After Qin Potian finished speaking, he waved his hand and instantly disappeared from the spot, enveloping the two of them.

When they reappeared, they had returned to the village's council hall.

Soon, the other senior uncles also excitedly appeared in the hall.

"Haha, Xiao Mo is back! With the spirit stones you provided, the young people in the village are breaking through to higher levels faster than ever before."

"I think it won't be long before we can add at least a few more Golden Core cultivators."

Zhou Lu looked delighted and couldn't help but shout excitedly upon seeing him.

Even the usually aloof Third Uncle Jiang Fengchun was beaming with joy.

Tang Jingxiang pinched Chu Mo's handsome face and kept excitedly praising him:

"I have to thank Xiao Mo for all of this. He truly is my good junior apprentice!"

Looking at his Ninth Uncle's delighted face, Chu Mo felt utterly helpless.

It's really embarrassing to have someone pinch my cheeks when I'm already this old.

But in front of his martial uncle, he really had no right to resist and could only silently accept it.

Seeing his helpless expression, a smile flashed in Nangong Xiu's eyes.

"Alright, Xiao Jiu, stop bothering him and let's talk about serious matters."

In the end, it was Qin Potian who interrupted her prank.

Seeing that they were about to discuss something, Nangong Xiu obediently got up and went outside the main hall.

Qin Potian did not speak to stop her, even though he knew that the little girl already knew quite a few secrets.

But knowing less is ultimately a good thing for her now.

Some pressures shouldn't be borne by a child her age.

Chu Mo quickly recounted what Xiao Liu had said, along with his own analysis, to the elders in detail.
