At this moment, Chu Mo distinctly felt a sudden burst of scorching heat coming from the jade resting on his chest, searing him sharply.
"Huh?"
Chu Mo was slightly taken aback.
The Demon Lord, oblivious to Chu Mo's expression, said, "You should go back to your room and mull over it a bit. As for the meal, I will prepare it today. I'll call you when it's ready."
If it had been any other time, Chu Mo would have certainly retorted. However, the burning sensation in his chest had left him somewhat flustered.
He nodded, "Alright."
The Demon Lord, assuming that Chu Mo was eager to delve into the lore he had just received, didn't think further.
Once Chu Mo had closed the door behind him, he quickly undid his clothing, took out the jade from his chest, resting it on his palm, and observed it closely.
Then, the booklet recording 'Heaven's Will, My Will' that was lying beside him suddenly vanished into thin air!
Chu Mo was almost terrified to death!
Even someone as prideful as the Demon Lord held this lore in high regard, keeping it with utmost care until today when he decided to hand it down to him.
If he lost it, he would certainly be doomed!
Chu Mo, furrowing his eyebrows in recollection, seemed to vaguely remember 'Heaven's Will, My Will' escaping into the jade in his palm.
This was rather absurd, quite unbelievable.
Could it be that this jade was an artifact for storage?
Even if it indeed was, he didn't command it to store anything, did he?
Moreover, if it could indeed store items, how had he never discovered this in the years that he had been carrying it?
Chu Mo felt as if his head had swelled, everything seemed bizarrely absurd.
This was something that he couldn't explain.
He couldn't help but feel frustrated, glaring at the jade, he gritted his teeth and said, "Did you do this?"
A strong wave of mental energy shot out from Chu Mo's forehead, targeting the gleaming and warm jade.
All of a sudden...
There was a loud bang!
Chu Mo found his surroundings changing, he was unexpectedly in a hazy and chaotic space.
When he looked down, he could not see his own body, but noticed a book resting on a large green stone not far away.
It was 'Heaven's Will, My Will'!
In surprise, Chu Mo let out a cry, his mind reeling, and then, his vision brightened. When he looked again, he was in his own room.
"What... what just happened?" Chu Mo's heart was pounding in his chest.
He almost cried out the word 'master'.
However, he ultimately didn't.
He tried to focus and gaze at the jade in his hand. The next moment... he was back in that chaotic space.
This time, Chu Mo was certain. This jade he carried was a splendid treasure!
It possessed storage capabilities!
Afterwards, Chu Mo tried to use his intent to retrieve 'Heaven's Will, My Will', but after several attempts, it did not budge an inch.
Chu Mo grew a bit anxious. He approached it, forgetting that he did not possess a physical body here, only a consciousness, and attempted to grab the small book on the green stone.
Somewhere along these strange events, when Chu Mo's consciousness exited from that space and returned to the real world, he found 'Heaven's Will, My Will' actually in his hand.
Overjoyed, Chu Mo experimented again and again, thoroughly amused.
He finally understood the principles of this space. It seemed that to enter this space, he needed to concentrate. When he wanted to take something out, all he had to do was 'grab' it like he usually would.
As for the how and why, he still did not understand.
Simultaneously, Chu Mo also wondered why, in order to put things into the jade, it required his conscious command.
But why did 'Heaven's Will, My Will' fly into the jade on its own?
He also remembered the sudden burst of heat from his chest when he accepted 'Heaven's Will, My Will'.
Chu Mo slightly furrowed his brows, instinctively opening up the tome once again.
Only a glimpse was needed for Chu Mo's face to pale.
Because, on the first page of the lore, a few more characters had emerged!
Thanks to the Demon Lord's torment, Chu Mo's senses for texts were sharp enough to notice even a single added character.
Although it was just a few characters, the entire meaning of the document was altered!
"Oh, my... good gracious," Chu Mo held his chest, exclaiming inwardly, "What on earth is happening? This is utterly absurd!"
A perfectly fine lore, how had it changed so considerably after entering the jade?
And why did the jade suddenly activate?
Chu Mo was utterly puzzled. Could it have been that the jade opened because it was stained with the blood he shed while saving his master?
But throughout his life, he'd bled from fights where the jade had been stained as well.
Why hadn't it ever opened before?
Why did it choose to open this time?
Chu Mo was filled with questions, unable to explain them.
He wanted to ask the Demon Lord about all this, believing that his master would surely have the answers.
Moreover, he also believed that his master would not covet the treasure.
However, in the end, Chu Mo hesitated.
Because this jade was his only clue to finding his parents!
"Especially with the changes in 'Heaven's Will, My Will', I don't know if it's good or bad."
"My master had once told me that the biggest taboo in cultivation is...realizing you've been practicing the wrong method after decades!"
"Even if you grit your teeth, you have to continue making the same mistake!"
"Because...it's too late to change!"
"I fear my master has already reached a high level of cultivation with 'Heaven's Will, My Will'. Would he have to discard all of his progress and start anew?"
Thirteen-year-old Chu Mo showed rare signs of confusion and hesitation on his face.
After giving it much thought, Chu Mo eventually decided to keep this matter a secret for the time being.
It won't be too late to tell Master when I fully understand everything.
Then Chu Mo, suppressing his excitement, carefully stored his jade close to his chest.
Next, he calmed down and earnestly began to comprehend the first volume of 'Heaven's Will is My Will'.
'Heaven's Will!
"The heavens have their ways, they're elusive and mists, all beings in the myriad realms, are all in pursuit..."
This scroll of 'Heaven's Will' absorbed by the jade, after a few characters appeared on the first page, the entire mood was thoroughly changed.
Chu Mo practiced according to the cultivation methods mentioned, barely starting his cultivation, he felt a wave of abundant primordial energy, flocking from all directions, instantly rushing into his body!
Boom!
All the meridians throughout his body, unbelievably, in this instant, all opened up.
Chu Mo's whole person, was instantly enveloped in abundant primordial energy, the taste was marvelous, indescribable!
The meridians in his body were like a riverbed that had dried up for many years, suddenly being filled with flowing water.
Almost instantly, they brimmed with potent vitality!
"Is this too fast?"
Chu Mo even started to feel a little fearful.
Even though the Demon Lord had just told him that 'Heaven's Will is My Will' might be incomplete, it still was one of the most powerful cultivation methods in this world.
In the whole Four Symbols Continent, the most top-tier cultivation method, doesn't even amount to one tenth of it!
Chu Mo hadn't come into contact with the most top-tier cultivation method in this world, so he didn't know if his master was exaggerating.
But now, the speed at which he gathered primordial energy, was simply a hundred times more than before!
Possibly even more!
Previously, Chu Mo's primordial energy had always been stuck at the peak of the second layer.
To breakthrough to the Primordial Pass realm, was extremely difficult.
Because he didn't have a good cultivation method.
All along, Fan Wudi had been searching for a better cultivation method for his grandson.
The old man believed that with his grandson's talent, if he practiced a regular cultivation method, it would be such a waste, a huge waste of his talent.
It could even be seen as an insult!
Even though one can cultivate many types of cultivation methods, human energy is ultimately limited.
If one cultivates one method for seven to eight years or over a decade or so, and then switches methods, it might not result in progress, but destruction!
Because by that time, many things would have already taken shape.
All the cultivation methods practiced were in line with the original cultivation method.
If the cultivation method is changed, then all the cultivation methods practiced previously, must also be re-harmonized, and adapted!
The pressure and pain brought by the sudden plummet in strength is not something that just anyone can endure.
Retraining, is a very long process.
Ninety-nine percent of the re-trainers, probably can't persevere until the end.
Fan Wudi naturally understood this theory.
Unfortunately, although he was a general, the best cultivation method he could access was of the third rank tier.
In this world, the truly top-tier cultivation methods, would only exist in major factions like the Longevity Heaven.
This is also why, the old man wanted Chu Mo to become a disciple of Longevity Heaven.
Although Chu Mo could not become a disciple of Longevity Heaven, he met the Demon Lord!
This meeting, fated as it seemed, allowed Chu Mo to come into contact with a more powerful cultivation method.
The speed of the primordial energy accumulated in Chu Mo's elixir field was rather astonishing!
With the operation of the cultivation method, the primordial energy in various meridians throughout Chu Mo's body became increasingly abundant,
It kept flowing without end, converging in the elixir field.
The shackles of his second layer primordial energy, in less than one complete cycle, actually faintly ...showed signs of cracks!
This meant that as long as he continued to strive, breaking through to the Primordial Pass realm, would be just a matter of time!
The excitement in Chu Mo's heart was simply unspeakable.
Recently, for a long period of time, Chu Mo had experienced too many things that were not suitable for his age.
A lot of pent-up things piled up on the heart of this thirteen-year-old boy, causing him to often wake up from nightmares.
Although he acknowledged the Demon Lord as his master, he was always reciting those mnemonic rhymes that he didn't know what use they had.
To be as strong as the Demon Lord, capable of Ascending and evading, seemed like a dream.
Until today, until this moment!
All of a sudden, Chu Mo had a feeling of sudden enlightenment!
It was as though the entire world had begun to… light up in his heart.
After one complete cycle, Chu Mo felt like he was reborn.
His whole being, his spirit, his energy, his vitality, all underwent a huge change.
The vital energy of his body also began to flourish.
Compared to before his cultivation of the 'Heaven's Will', he seemed like an entirely different person!
Looking at the thin booklet in his hand, Chu Mo felt immensely grateful for his master.
Chu Mo was a bit curious, how much did his jade alter 'Heaven's Will is My Will'?
Thus, he casually flipped to the second page of 'Heaven's Will is My Will'.
At one glance, he immediately became dumbfounded.
Because it was completely blank!
No single character!
"What, what, what… what is happening?"
"I must be seeing things!"
"Where are the words?"
"Where has the unparalleled cultivation method on this page gone?"
