After scanning the area with his divine sense, Chu Mo was able to preliminarily determine that there were no fewer than thirteen Tribulation Transcending cultivators here.
It's no exaggeration to say that most of the Transcending Tribulation cultivators from the Eastern Region have arrived.
At the very least, every major sect and force has probably sent experts here.
The arrival of Chu Mo and his group attracted considerable attention, especially from Zeng Mushen.
After all, there was quite a commotion over there before, and everyone's divine sense couldn't detect it.
At this moment, two cultivators undergoing tribulation recognized him immediately. They walked up laughing and bowed, saying with admiration:
"Fellow Daoist Zeng, it has been hundreds of years since we last met. Your demeanor is even more radiant than before!"
"Indeed, it seems that Fellow Daoist Zeng has overcome another life-or-death crisis in the past few hundred years. This is truly a cause for celebration!"
The red-faced old man in the black robe smiled inquiringly after speaking, and asked curiously:
"That commotion over there just now... could it be that some fool has offended Fellow Daoist Zeng?"
Zeng Mu Shen laughed heartily and politely returned the greeting:
"A small incident did happen just now, but it has been dealt with."
"It has been hundreds of years since we last met. Fellow Daoist Lu and Fellow Daoist Chen, your cultivation has also improved significantly. It is truly fate that we can meet here today."
The people around were astonished when they saw this.
The reason is that those two are well-known big shots in the entire Eastern Region.
I never expected that I would know the person who came here?
It seems this person must be a big shot from another force in the outer realms.
Because they couldn't possibly fail to recognize a cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage from the Eastern Region.
At this moment, Liang Caiyun of the Wanhua Sect also saw some people she recognized and hurriedly went up to greet them.
However, they are mostly cultivators at the Dao Integration or Mahayana stages.
The few cultivators who had undergone tribulation only nodded casually to her when she stepped forward to pay her respects, their attitude neither warm nor cold.
Liang Caiyun showed no dissatisfaction; the unequal status was a normal situation.
However, Xia Qingyan, a low-grade Nascent Soul cultivator, caused quite a stir upon arriving here.
Some young cultivators who had come here with their sect elders to broaden their horizons excitedly stepped forward to chat, their eyes gleaming with eagerness.
All the young people felt honored to have spoken a word to her.
Even if their enthusiastic greetings only elicited a casual nod from her, it would still excite them for a long time.
"Haha, Brother Cheng, did you see that? Miss Xia nodded at me just now. Now you can believe that Miss Xia and I are friends, right?"
A finely dressed young man looked smugly at his friend beside him.
He was laughing with such smug pride.
Unfortunately, his friends didn't buy it at all, and instead looked at him with disdain.
"Heh, ridiculous. Miss Xia was clearly nodding at me just now. What does it have to do with you?"
His friend, who was also a young man, immediately retorted without backing down after hearing this.
Just then, another young man dressed in white, looking dashing and debonair, walked past the two of them with a smug look on his face.
When he walked up to the two of them, he deliberately paused and laughed loudly:
"What's this all about? Miss Xia just spoke to me, haha..."
"Yes, I did say that, Miss Xia. Are you free tomorrow? I was thinking..."
A young man immediately adopted a high-pitched voice and began to imitate the pronunciation vividly, continuing:
Then Miss Xia said: "I'm sorry, I've been very busy lately!"
The young man in white, as if someone had stepped on a sore spot, jumped up angrily and pointed at the other person, retorting:
"Let's leave aside what we're saying for now. At least I can speak with Miss Xia, while you can only watch from the sidelines."
The young man retorted with a pained expression, "That's because I'm considerate of Miss Xia and can't bear to see her overworked."
"Didn't you see so many people harassing her? Don't you even feel sorry for her? Are you even human?"
The verbal battle on the white-robed young master's side had only just begun when chaos erupted elsewhere.
Countless young people jostled and pushed forward, their only thoughts being to say a word to Xia Qingyan or catch a glimpse of her from afar.
Chu Mo couldn't help but secretly marvel at Xia Qingyan's charm.
However, the latter seemed very impatient with those who tried to strike up a conversation.
However, out of politeness, he could only give a few perfunctory replies, but even so, it excited the young people.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with the two men, Zeng Mushen pointed to the ancient-looking old man carrying a long sword and introduced him to Chu Mo with a smile:
"Young master, this is Lu Zhiqi, the sect leader of the Imperial Sword Sect, a fourth-tribulation cultivator!"
"This is Chen Muyuan, the master of the Star-Treading Tower. He is probably not far from the fourth tribulation."
"So it's Senior Lu or Senior Chen. I'm Chu Mo. Please guide me in the future!"
Chu Mo bowed respectfully to the two men, then secretly began to sized them up.
Lu Zhiqi wore a blue robe and carried a black-sheathed ancient sword on his back. His thin body was as tall and straight as a pine tree.
Three long, snow-white wisps of beard hung down to his chest, giving him an elegant and refined air.
Coupled with his upright, square face and weathered yet kind eyes, he immediately won people's favor.
As for Chen Muyuan, he was an ordinary-looking old man with a rugged appearance.
Aside from being tall and muscular, he doesn't look particularly special.
However, Chu Mo could sense the other party's composure and domineering aura from his every move, a kind of invincible momentum that came from the very bones.
Of course, this so-called invincibility does not mean that he is actually invincible.
Rather, it was his own aura.
While Chu Mo was sizing them up, the two of them were also secretly observing him.
Judging from how Zeng Mushen addressed him, and the respect shown in his words and eyes, the two had long been guessing Chu Mo's identity.
The two of them had dealt with the God of the Divine Seed hundreds of years ago, and the other's pride and talent were equally outstanding.
But why was he so respectful to this young man?
Zeng Mushen is the sect leader of the Antarctic Grand Sect and the Shimo Sect, a third-tribulation expert whose combat power is comparable to a fourth-tribulation cultivator!
Why treat a young person like this?
Could this young man be a descendant of some top tycoon?
While the group was exchanging pleasantries...
An arrogant old man with sinister eyes suddenly spoke up:
"The secret of the Celestial Forbidden Zone was first discovered by our families."
"Therefore, those who come later, please just stand by and watch, and do not interfere, or you will bear the consequences!"
As he said this, his gaze unabashedly swept towards the god of shepherds, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Are you talking about us?
Zeng Mushen's eyes turned slightly cold, and Chu Mo's gaze also narrowed.
