Hu Lie and Yue Qingcheng both paused slightly, both pondering for a long while before Hu Lie, furrowing his brows, said, "It seems that before the rules of Heaven and Earth changed, those supre beings had all reached the true end of the heavenly road. But after the rules changed, I haven't heard of anyone reaching it."
Yue Qingcheng said, "I rember soone ntioned that the Imperial Master of Purple Smoke and Lord Hongyue and so others had once co extrely close to the true end of the heavenly road. But in the end... it seems they still failed."
Hu Lie was sowhat surprised. "Even Lord Hongyue failed? That's hard to imagine!"
Chu Mo thought for a mont and said, "Let's go, let's go to the end of the road to comprehend the Dao! Don't break through here."
"Ah?" Hu Lie looked at Chu Mo even more surprised. "Brother, are you serious?"
Chu Mo looked at Hu Lie and said, "Do I look like I'm joking?"
"This..." Hu Lie pondered for a mont before scratching his head and saying, "Actually, before I set out this ti, an elder in my clan told not to be overambitious. They said that on the heavenly road, opportunities and dangers coexist, the deeper into the heavenly road, the more opportunities there are, but the danger is also greater. It's said that at the very end of the heavenly road, there are powerful beings guarding it, not allowing foreign cultivators to enter the deepest part. That place is truly forbidden! I hadn't heard about Lord Hongyue failing at this challenge before, but I think, the likelihood that she failed there... is very high, isn't it?"
Chu Mo had never heard Aunt Hongyue ntion this matter because when he left the seclusion, there was already little ti left. Perhaps, Hongyue had not had the chance to tell him about this matter. Of course, it could also be that Hongyue, for so reason, did not want to talk about this.
Hu Lie continued saying, "The elders in the clan advised that on the heavenly road, everyone has their own opportunities. We shouldn't be too forceful about anything..."
Yue Qingcheng said indifferently from the side, "Cultivation itself is a process of striving, not to strive... might as well be an ordinary person, living a peaceful and undisturbed life without competition, theft, or robbery."
Chu Mo nodded, "Qingcheng is right, cultivation itself is a process of striving. Your Tiger Clan's elders are a bit too old-fashioned!"
Hu Lie froze for a mont, then exhaled, "That's true. The Tiger Clan has been declining over the years, with only a few old Emperor Realm masters remaining, and the new generation hardly has anyone outstanding. If my brother were still here... perhaps today on the heavenly road, he would be more outstanding than . If he were by your side, when you said to go to the end to comprehend the Dao, he would definitely respond and agree without hesitation."
ntioning his brother, Hu Lie's mood turned sowhat low.
Chu Mo looked at Hu Lie and asked, "Has your brother Hu Xiao's enemy been found?"
Hu Lie shook his head, "No specific person, but we already have a suspect."
Chu Mo looked at Hu Lie, "Who?"
Hu Lie sighed lightly, "The family that holds the deepest grudge against you now."
Chu Mo's eyebrows raised slightly, "The Zhuge Family?"
Hu Lie nodded, "But it's only suspicion; there's no concrete evidence."
"How could the suspicion have fallen on the Zhuge Family?" Chu Mo felt that the Zhuge Family was already unlucky enough, not knowing how many of their young mbers they had dispatched to trek the heavenly road. At least so of them were killed by the Imperial Master of Purple Smoke along the way. After entering the heavenly road, first a young heavenly genius who was advancing to the Emperor Realm was thwarted by Chu Mo, and then quite a few of their strong practitioners were killed.
Now, how many were left was unclear, but by now, those mbers of the Zhuge Family on the heavenly road probably hated him from the bottom of their hearts.
Hu Lie said with so indignation, "Shortly after my brother died, the largest auction house in the Heavenly Realm auctioned off several elixirs brewed using beings from the Tiger Clan. Our clan elders went to negotiate, and they claid that it was from a long ti ago... and moreover, the Tiger Clan in the Heavenly Realm isn't just us; there are also so scattered small tribes and loners. However, we suspect that the elixirs were... were made using my brother! Because only the bloodline of the Tiger Clan's heavenly geniuses could produce elixirs with the miraculous effects they claid. After insistent investigation, we finally traced that batch of elixirs back to the Zhuge Family! In the end, we identified a person—it was that Zhuge Lang who had been pursuing you!"
Hu Lie's eyes were sowhat reddened, and his voice filled with sorrow, as he said, "I've never talked about this matter with anyone. I didn't want to say it because I was too weak! If I were strong enough, I would certainly overturn the entire Zhuge Family! Killing one or two of them, where would that relieve the hatred in my heart?"
Chu Mo and Yue Qingcheng looked at each other, both feeling quite sighing.
No wonder Hu Lie swallowed the elixir refined from the blood essence of a true immortal without any hesitation. It wasn't just about the racial difference and lack of guilt. It was because Hu Lie's brother, Hu Xiao, was most likely killed by mbers of the Zhuge Family!
Now they were probably just lacking evidence. As long as they found it, they could be fully sure it was them who did it.
However, in the Cultivation Realm, oftentis, evidence wasn't necessary.
Chu Mo patted Hu Lie's shoulder and then asked, "So, at the end of the heavenly road, are you going or not?"
"Going!" Hu Lie shouted, "I can't keep living like this, I must pull myself together. You're right, cultivation itself is a demanding process. Without demand, how could one reach the Supre Realm? Without obsession, how could one beco strong?"
"Great, let's go!" Chu Mo smiled and high-fived Hu Lie as a pledge.
Yue Qingcheng was also very happy. Another person ant more strength, not to ntion that during this ti, Hu Lie had taken great care of her, like an older brother. Only today she realized that Hu Lie also had his vulnerable side.
This did not make Yue Qingcheng think less of him; rather, she respected him even more.
A person only truly matures when they understand responsibility and take it on.
The three of them then set off on their journey. On the way, Chu Mo asked Hu Lie what had caused the dispute with Qi Bo and the others.
Hu Lie gave a wry smile, "Before entering the heavenly road, didn't Qi Bo openly express hostility towards you on the ssage board? He even ridiculed Long Qiushui along with you."
"I never knew why he targeted ," Chu Mo said with a wry smile.
He initially didn't know about the various hostile comnts Qi Bo and Kong Hongyi had made on the ssage board because he had been in a state of enlightennt at that ti. After waking from that state and with the heavenly road already open, he rushed over without the ti to pay attention.
Even if Chu Mo had known, he wouldn't have cared much. Looking at Hu Lie, he said, "He wouldn't bother you guys just for that reason, would he?"
Hu Lie nodded, "Exactly… And it seems, it's not just about disliking . There seems to be another reason."
Yue Qingcheng added from the side, "Yes, at that ti Brother Hu Lie was in seclusion, and I was guarding for him. If it hadn't been for their disturbance, Brother Hu Lie would probably have already advanced to the Emperor Realm by now."
Chu Mo frowned, "They wanted to seize your cultivation fruit?"
Hu Lie rolled his eyes, "Do you think everyone is as formidable as you? I hadn't even reached that stage when they disturbed . It was just a bit of an impact, not too severe. But if you hadn't arrived in ti, we would really have been in danger."
"So, it seems that killing one of his followers wasn't a mistake," Chu Mo muttered.
"Of course not, it was that bastard Leng Nan who slapped my area of seclusion!" Hu Lie said angrily.
"So, I did get so revenge for my brother, right?" Chu Mo smiled.
Hu Lie nodded, "That's right, so thank you, hahaha!"
At this mont, Yue Qingcheng said, "I don't think Qi Bo is to that extent evil, at least he's willing to bear infamy for his followers. Why did he target the young master at that ti?"
Chu Mo thought for a mont and said, "This matter will eventually co to light, just like that assassin…"
