Inside the bronze cauldron.
Chu Mo held the spirit stone in his hand, sat quietly in the void, and devoted himself to cultivation.
As the spirit stones were consumed one by one, the volume of his dantian sea continued to expand.
The drizzle above the golden lake gradually turned into raindrops, falling steadily.
The cyclone spun wildly, without stopping...
Time passed.
The area of the lake gradually expanded from the initial several hundred zhang to a range of two thousand zhang, and continues to increase.
He has been cultivating here for a year, and has used up over a thousand spirit stones.
Compared to before, this is equivalent to him having cultivated here for ten years.
The area of the spiritual energy sea has long exceeded that of an ordinary high-grade Foundation Establishment cultivator.
But having learned from his previous breakthrough, he knew that this alone would be far from enough to break through the bottleneck, so he continued his cultivation.
Another year has passed.
The area of his spiritual sea had already expanded to nearly five thousand feet.
He still didn't feel like he was making a breakthrough, and he wasn't in a hurry.
He took out the Immortal Spirit Grass and swallowed it, then held a spirit stone in each hand and closed his eyes again.
Until the third year.
Chu Mo, who was sitting quietly, suddenly burst into wild laughter, his voice filled with joy.
An unprecedentedly terrifying aura rose from his body, stirring up the surrounding world.
The pure spiritual energy within a hundred miles surged towards him like a madman.
Suddenly, a howling sound of a strong wind swept through the quiet space.
It was like a Category 12 hurricane.
Chu Mo stood motionless amidst the storm, greedily absorbing the pure spiritual energy, like a bottomless pit.
It wasn't until ten days later.
The storm gradually subsided.
At this moment, his dantian sea had already expanded to tens of thousands of feet in diameter, and had incorporated the cyclone that was originally suspended above it.
Amidst the swirling mist, the golden lake was stirred by the vortex, constantly boiling and churning, like a small sun.
The lake water, originally pure gold, now has a hint of purple, making it both pure and noble.
Chu Mo was shocked and quickly used his divine sense to examine the situation carefully.
Those wisps of purple were actually tiny, almost imperceptible crystals.
However, at this moment, those purple crystals were incredibly clear in his eyes.
It is continuously generated from the swirling cyclone, like purple ice shards in winter.
Crystal clear and dazzling.
A terrifying pressure emanated from those tiny crystals, powerful and pure.
Chu Mo felt that he could easily shatter his former self into pieces with a single palm strike.
If we say that his strength increased by about five times from the lower to the middle level of Foundation Establishment.
At that moment, he felt that he had improved more than tenfold.
He even had the illusion that some of the Golden Core elders in Lingyin Village were no longer his match.
That's a bit outrageous.
Fighting across a minor realm is understandable, but is fighting across a major realm also acceptable?
It seems... it really can work! Chu Mo was very confident at this moment.
All he wants now is to find a Golden Core cultivator and give it a good try.
"That archbishop of the Ancient God Cult seems to be someone who surpasses even a high-ranking archmage."
"How about... we go and have some fun with him?" Chu Mo muttered to himself.
Speaking of his own Dragon Hidden Pavilion, it just so happens that it lacks some true masters.
...
At this time.
Inside an old church abroad.
A voluptuous and alluring woman wearing a ghost mask stood quietly.
But sitting directly above the church was a sinister-looking old man with white hair.
His triangular eyes were as cold as a snake's, and he was toying with a crystal skull the size of a fist in his hand.
Looking at the masked woman below the steps, the old man coldly asked:
"Four days have passed, and Green and the others still haven't returned. Do you have anything to say?"
"When I got close to the target, I couldn't find an opportunity to strike, so I notified them to cancel the operation temporarily."
"But when I got back to my place, they didn't come back for a long time, so I figured something had happened to them and I had to leave. I don't know anything else."
The woman in the ghost mask had a voice that was icy cold and devoid of emotion.
It was as if they were talking about something that had nothing to do with them.
"The opponent is only a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. The four of you acted together and still failed. It is a disgrace to the church."
The sinister old man finally couldn't contain his anger and crushed the crystal skull in his hand into powder. A sickly flush appeared on his pale, bloodless face.
He took a deep breath, stared coldly at the woman, and said ruthlessly:
"I'll have someone else handle this. Go to the snake pit and reflect on your actions for three days."
"yes!"
The woman in the ghost mask trembled slightly, then resolutely turned and left.
What do you think?
After the woman left, the old man suddenly looked at the empty church and asked coldly.
"The Holy Maiden seems to have changed a bit since she returned from the Dragon Kingdom."
From the shadows behind him emerged a strange, dark figure, its aura as malevolent as a demon.
"Ignore her. She's just a sacrifice. In ten days, she will complete her final mission."
"What I'm asking about is the matter of the Dragon Kingdom. Why did Green and the others suddenly disappear?" The old man's face was angry and irritable.
"This time, you and the four elders must work together to capture them alive. In short, either the formula or the person must be brought back."
"Your Excellency, Chu Mo is currently under the protection of the Dragon Kingdom's government. Aren't we afraid of angering those old fogies in the Dragon Kingdom by doing this?"
The shadowy figure spoke with concern, but his eyes were filled with doubt, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Are you in such a hurry because of that ancient will?"
