Chapter 582 - 581: Po Xiao is So Scary

Chapter 582: Chapter 581: Po Xiao is So Scary

After Jiang Zuo left, the first person to arrive in the Tier Three Region was, naturally, Blade Master Hai Bian.

He had no allies in the Tier Three Region, so he journeyed to the forefront alone.

He, too, was told by the Door Spirit that he had to solve a riddle.

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator in the Tier Four Region was also alone.

Once he learned he truly held a great opportunity in his grasp, he stopped doing business with the others.

He was claiming this opportunity for himself.

Why?

Because obtaining the Enlightenment Stone was an even bigger business deal.

The opportunity was right before his eyes; it was a surefire profit.

Even without the big score of the Enlightenment Stone, he would still gain an opportunity.

Sharing it would mean a small profit at the cost of a much larger deal.

The loss would far outweigh the gain.

So he, too, arrived before the Door Spirit alone.

He was also preparing to accept the Door Spirit’s riddle.

’I’m a little nervous. After all, I’m not much of a reader.’

’I suddenly miss my junior martial sister. She was well-read and got good grades, too.’

"Leave the riddles to me. I’m great at them," Mo Yan said in the Tier Two Region, patting her chest.

She had said the exact same thing when she claimed to be an expert in Feng Shui.

Therefore, her credibility was extremely low.

Mo Yan said, "Bring on the question. There’s nothing I can’t solve."

The Door Spirit: "I contain ’awe’, and then ’some’. What word am I?"

Hearing this question, Chi Xue Child and the others were completely baffled. Liuyue Xue was even more clueless.

Riddles were their weak spot.

Just then, Mo Yan said with a deadpan expression, "Awesome. Open the door."

The Door Spirit was rendered speechless.

For some reason, it felt like it had thrown a punch and hit nothing but air.

"So weak. It must be because I’m too strong. It’s lonely at the top," Mo Yan said with a hint of regret.

It was like a master, lonely for countless years, who finally thought a worthy opponent had arrived, only to defeat them in a single blow.

Liu Yiyi and the others could only watch, speechless.

’But... was she really right, just like that?’

’We can go through?’

The Door Spirit was in a foul mood. It abruptly changed the subject and boomed, "Call me Daddy."

Everyone: "..."

Meanwhile, in the Tier One Region, Xiao Xiaomo and his group were deep in thought.

"’A gathering of only men’? How can you really get a single word from that?" Chen Yi asked doubtfully. Then he looked at Chu Qing. "Didn’t you say you were good at this?"

Chu Qing said innocently, "They didn’t teach this in my textbooks. But it is true that there are more guys here."

Liu Yu also said, "Yeah, just one girl."

The Door Spirit watched them with narrowed eyes, deciding to keep quiet. If it said anything, they might guess the answer.

’Let them struggle for a while.’

The cultivators in the Tier Three and Tier Four Regions were also stumped; this wasn’t their forte.

’Seriously, why do they ask these kinds of questions in the world of Cultivation?’

Blade Master Hai Bian felt a little helpless. It was just like this when they teamed up for Crossing the Tribulation, and it was happening again now.

’Why do they have to make things so difficult for cultivators?’

But hey, there was always a workaround.

The internet was up, wasn’t it? Time to search.

Asking the group chat was pointless. They would just hype him up for half an hour and then tell him to search for the answer himself.

In the end, Blade Master Hai Bian searched for the riddle: "What has an eye but cannot see?"

’Aha, there’s the answer.’

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator, on the other hand, knew countless resourceful people. His years of doing business had their uses.

With the help of a "young friend," he successfully answered the riddle.

After this, the two of them were the first to reach the summit of Celestial Book Mountain.

But the moment they stepped through the gate and caught a glimpse of the scenery at the summit, they immediately retreated.

Without a doubt, they both wore looks of terror. In the end, they decided not to go up.

’We’ll just wait here for Enlightenment.’

’As for reaching the summit... let’s take our time.’

’A long, long time.’

This left the Door Spirit staring blankly. ’As expected,’ it thought, ’was it because of "Daddy"?’

Back in the Tier Two Region, Mo Yan was the first to step up.

’It’s just calling him Daddy.’

"You all care too much about saving face. It’s not like I haven’t said it before, so what’s the big deal about saying it again? This is all a test of one’s disposition."

"The Daoist Skills follow nature, all beings are equal. I, Demon Cultivator Mo Yan, am destined to walk at the forefront," Mo Yan said profoundly.

Liu Yiyi said coldly, "And that’s your excuse for dragging us into this?"

Mo Yan retorted, unconvinced, "Without me, you wouldn’t have known the answer to the first riddle!"

Liuyue Xue typed: I could have just searched for the answer online.

Mo Yan: "..., That’s cheating! How could you do that to the Door Spirit? How could you disrespect Daddy’s hard work?"

Liuyue Xue took out her Heaven-Breaking Spear. As expected, arguing with Mo Yan was pointless.

Mo Yan leaped in front of the Door Spirit, decisively called out, "Daddy," and went inside.

The others were utterly exasperated.

’Do we really have to call it ’Daddy’ too?’

At the summit of Celestial Book Mountain, Jiang Zuo stood before an altar.

On this altar sat a throne that emanated an incredibly terrifying pressure, yet this pressure had no distinct form.

It was like a blank sheet of paper that would take on the color of whatever touched it.

For example, if someone heavy with Evil Qi were to sit on it, that terrifying pressure would be assimilated and transformed into Evil Qi.

If it were a righteous aura, the pressure would become a righteous aura.

However, few people, past or present, were capable of sitting on it.

And to trigger the universal Enlightenment, one had to sit on that throne.

This was not difficult for Jiang Zuo.

Jiang Zuo walked straight to the throne and, without the slightest hesitation, sat down.

As he did, the pressure emanating from Jiang Zuo began to consume the pressure of the throne. Soon, the absorption was complete.

And with that, the pressure radiating from Jiang Zuo’s entire body intensified several times over.

The Little Wild Cat, sensing Jiang Zuo’s pressure, instantly bristled. It spun around frantically on the spot before leaping directly into a Space Gate.

She was so scared she ran back to the Summoning Space.

Jiang Zuo didn’t mind. The Little Wild Cat wouldn’t have been much use down below anyway.

Just as Jiang Zuo sat on the throne, lost in thought for a moment, two more people suddenly appeared on the summit.

It was Blade Master Hai Bian and the Black-robed Demon Cultivator.

The moment they appeared, they saw Jiang Zuo. That terrifying pressure nearly scared the piss out of them.

The two of them then retreated without a moment’s hesitation, not daring to linger for a single second.

’We’re gonna die!’

’We’re not coming back. Never again.’

’We’re never competing with Po Xiao for anything ever again.’

’We’re terrified. Genuinely terrified.’

Jiang Zuo was rather speechless. ’Was I really that scary?’

Jiang Zuo was about to trigger the final phenomenon.

But at that exact moment, Mo Yan came strolling out nonchalantly.

Unfortunately for her, Jiang Zuo had already mobilized his pressure; it was fair to say he had truly begun to exert his power.

The instant Mo Yan appeared, she dropped to her knees. It was a subconscious reaction.

Her legs gave out.

When she saw Po Xiao, she couldn’t even manage to open her mouth.

’Terrifying... an absolutely terrifying presence.’

It was as terrifying as if the entire sky were crashing down on her.

Mo Yan didn’t hesitate for a second. With tears streaming down her face, she began to crawl back toward the Door Spirit. ’I wanna go home!’

’Chi Xue Child, Liuyue Xue, hurry up and save me!’

’I’m going to die!’

Mo Yan finally managed to crawl back with great difficulty. Liuyue Xue and the others, who had been hesitating about what to do, were startled to see her scrambling back in such a state of terror.

The moment she was back, Mo Yan threw her arms around Liuyue Xue. "SOB... That scared me to death! I thought I was going to die! If I died, who would find good burial plots for you all?"

Everyone: "..."
