NOVEL NEXT Chapter 737: Alas, This Opportunity I Can Only Enjoy Alone
As Shen Mo's comprehension of the Void Great Dao deepened.
Within the void, he became an increasingly radiant point of light.
Continuously attracting those void evil thoughts to draw near.
Countless void evil thoughts sought to invade him at every moment, using him as a springboard to return to the mortal realm.
In the foreseeable future, the deeper his comprehension of the Void Great Dao, the more he would suffer erosion from void evil thoughts.
And this process could never be reversed.
If he failed to obtain a treasure capable of resisting void evil thoughts, Shen Mo would likely struggle to touch the Saint Realm.
After all, void evil thoughts would disturb him constantly.
Hindering his cultivation.
This thing might not be able to kill him.
But it was incredibly annoying.
...
Leiyu Family.
Shi Tianhao had cultivated for many years and finally emerged from seclusion.
His cultivation had reached the Second Tribulation Supreme Realm.
His cultivation speed even astonished Lei Daoheng.
"Congratulations, Young Friend Shi! This cultivation speed is truly unprecedented!" Lei Daoheng exclaimed with emotion.
Shi Tianhao said modestly, "You flatter me, Old Supreme."
Though his words were humble, the smug satisfaction on his face was unmistakable.
How many years had it been since he became a Supreme? Now he had advanced to the Second Tribulation Supreme Realm in one go.
Truly unprecedented!
Lei Daoheng sighed, "Young Friend Shi's cultivation speed is the second fastest I have ever witnessed."
"Among the current generation of geniuses, only you can glimpse the shadow of Shen Mo."
"The others are still some distance from the Supreme Realm."
Hearing this name, Shi Tianhao's expression stiffened.
Why had Shen Mo been brought up again?
Shen Mo had long become his psychological shadow.
It was fine when not mentioned, but each mention deepened this shadow.
Though he knew Shen Mo's cultivation speed was terrifying.
He never compared himself to Shen Mo.
There truly was no need for comparison.
Comparing oneself to others only brings frustration.
"Old Supreme, I have been in seclusion for many years. Have any new Supremes appeared? Or has anything significant happened?"
Shi Tianhao asked casually.
Lei Daoheng pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "Nothing significant."
"Li Cangfeng, Cao Qingwan and other geniuses have all reached the Hundred Mark Nirvana Realm, but they are still some distance from the Supreme Realm."
Shi Tianhao nodded slightly.
A sense of satisfaction rose in his heart.
This was good.
Though his talent fell short of Shen Mo's, he could still surpass prodigies like Li Cangfeng.
Just then, a clear laugh rang out.
"Daoist Shi has emerged from seclusion? Perfect! I know of an ancient cave abode. Would Daoist Shi be willing to explore it with me?"
Shi Tianhao trembled all over.
This voice was too familiar.
Shen Mo! It was Shen Mo!
He had actually extended an invitation!
Lei Daoheng was very surprised, "Supreme Shen, why have you come?"
"Eh, your aura..."
Shen Mo smiled, "Just some minor progress."
His gaze imperceptibly swept over Shi Tianhao, instantly seeing through this person's life panel.
Lei Daoheng praised, "Supreme Shen is truly an unparalleled prodigy of this generation!"
He looked at Shi Tianhao, "Young Friend Shi, why haven't you agreed? Such an opportunity won't come easily again!"
Shi Tianhao remained silent for a moment before cupping his hands, "Supreme Shen, I feel my strength is insufficient. I dare not explore an ancient cave abode with you, fearing I would hold you back."
"I wish to cultivate for a while longer. After reaching the Third Tribulation Supreme Realm, we can discuss this matter."
How could he dare to seek treasure with Shen Mo?
Seeing this, Shen Mo could only shake his head, "Alas, this opportunity I can only enjoy alone."
With that, he quickly departed.
Watching Shen Mo depart, Shi Tianhao felt greatly relieved.
At the same time, a sense of confusion arose in his heart.
Why did Shen Mo frequently wish to explore treasures with him?
Could it be genuine sincerity in wanting to help him?
It seemed truly sincere.
After all, he could detect no trace of pretense.
Furthermore, Shen Mo had previously gifted him the Dragon Crown Divine Stone.
These incidents, one after another, showed absolutely no falsehood.
Shi Tianhao racked his brain but couldn't comprehend why. He simply stopped thinking about it.
Refusing Shen Mo was the right choice regardless.
Lei Daoheng shook his head, "Young Friend Shi, why would you pass up such a fine opportunity?"
He couldn't understand it either. Other Supremes would likely be eager to explore with Shen Mo.
After all, Shen Mo comprehended the Void Great Dao.
This was the most suitable Dao for exploring the Void Turbulence.
Yet Shi Tianhao remained indifferent.
Shi Tianhao could only smile, unable to think of any explanation.
Finally, he could only offer an excuse, "I still feel my strength is lacking. I won't hold back Supreme Shen."
...
Meanwhile.
Shen Mo had obtained what he wanted.
"Holy Spirit Box."
He looked at the small wooden box and smiled.
From Shi Tianhao's recent opportunities, he had learned of this object's existence.
It was refined by a demon race Supreme using the heads of his three brothers.
Though the refining method was extremely sinister, its effects were exceptionally potent.
The Holy Spirit Box constantly emitted an aura that calmed the mind and focused the spirit, dispersing the erosion of void evil thoughts.
Shi Tianhao was also deeply contaminated by void evil thoughts.
Only with this treasure could he preserve his essence and maintain his steadfast self.
With this treasure, Shen Mo could now assault the Nine Tribulation Supreme Realm and even the Saint Realm.
Otherwise, during the process of breaking through to higher realms, he would inevitably be eroded and attacked by void evil thoughts, leading to failure.
"To completely exterminate the demon race, I must find the Ancestral Demon Land."
"The demon race wishes to annex all realms, and they too must find the Ancestral Demon Land."
"Some Demon Saints believe the intelligence about the Ancestral Demon Land is hidden in the memories of the Rune Ancestor and the Nine Yin Saintess."
"I am currently only at the Supreme Realm and cannot yet interfere in Saint Realm conflicts."
Shen Mo sighed softly.
The Divine Phoenix, Dragon Tortoise, and Celestial Fox had all gone to find the Rune Ancestor and Nine Yin Saintess.
They should now be engaging those Demon Saints in battle.
He was still suffering from insufficient strength.
If his strength were sufficient, he could join the battle now, help the Divine Phoenix and others defeat the Demon Saints, and rescue the two ancestors.
"The opportunity to achieve Saint Realm does exist, but I must wait a little longer. When Shi Tianhao grows somewhat stronger, it will become visible..."
Shen Mo pondered thoughtfully.
Shi Tianhao could still grow to the Saint Realm.
When this person's realm improved, the opportunity to break through to the Saint Realm would inevitably manifest on its own.
"Continue cultivating."
Shen Mo calmed his mind and refined the Holy Spirit Box.
...
Time flew by.
After refining the Holy Spirit Box, Shen Mo seemed to have gained an additional barrier isolating him from the outside world.
He could freely refine void energy and comprehend the Void Great Dao, yet the void evil thoughts could not perceive his existence.
Thus, he could focus without distraction, free from obstruction. His speed of comprehending the Great Dao advanced by leaps and bounds.
His realm naturally arrived at the Nine Tribulation Supreme Realm.
He stood almost at the pinnacle of all Supremes in the Saintly Xuan Heaven and Earth.
Once this news spread, it immediately stirred up monstrous waves.
The Supremes were dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe.
This growth speed left even Ao Tian, the Lord of the Four Sacred Dragon Palaces and a fellow Nine Tribulation Supreme, utterly astounded.
"Perhaps only the Great Desolation Venerable of the past could be compared to him..."
Ao Tian smiled bitterly.
