Chapter 944: Chapter 944: Wishing to Do Good, But the Opportunity Has Not Yet Arrived

The Longevity Demon Lord seemed to be slain by Shen Mo and others, but in truth, Shen Mo and the seven were merely part of the Immortal Tribulation.

This peak Formless Realm great demon, before undergoing the tribulation, was arrogant and overwhelming in his fierceness, yet he couldn’t surpass the Immortal Tribulation, and ultimately only a wisp of his soul remained!

It can be said that the "Immortal Tribulation" perfectly matched Shen Mo’s conception for the fourth unique sword style, mysterious and unparalleled in its lethality;

Most importantly, predecessors from the Riverside Sect who cultivated the All-Encompassing Sword Canon, limited by their own cultivation level and perspective, had never seen anyone undergo the Immortal Tribulation. Thus, there was no identical sword style in the sword canon.

As soon as Shen Mo returned to the Green Cloud Cave Paradise, he couldn’t wait to enter seclusion for cultivation, aiming to perfect this move...

Soon after, his figure vanished from the Cultivation Secret Chamber, and with a thought, he had already arrived at the Heart Refining Zone, where there were fewer sect disciples!

"Universal Tribulation!" Shen Mo called out softly.

The Taiyi Sword gleamed with cold light, and a sharp sword Qi surged forth, nature’s spiritual energy and the power of tribulation roaring and enhancing the sword’s power;

The disquieting aura of tribulation spread, and faintly within the sword’s light, various phenomena appeared, revealing tribulations like the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation, Three Disasters and Six Tribulations, and Outer Space Tribulation!

"Boom!"

The towering mountain used as a target was instantly cleaved in two by the sword Qi, and the sword Qi continued to extend further.

With a thought, Shen Mo suddenly scattered the sword Qi of Immortal Tribulation, making it vanish without a trace... He was here merely to verify the power of this unique sword style. If fully exerted, even the spatial barriers of the Green Cloud Cave Paradise might be sliced through!

"Its power is indeed significant, and it contains a trace of the true intention of the Immortal Tribulation!"

"However, I didn’t observe the entire process of the Longevity Demon Lord undergoing the Immortal Tribulation, hence this sword style is only a rough prototype at present, not yet perfected! To truly form this move, I need to personally experience an Immortal Tribulation or fully witness a Xian Dao Stronghold overcoming the tribulation to immortality."

"Forget it, I’ll slowly perfect it later!"

Shen Mo sheathed the Taiyi Sword, and his figure disappeared once more, leaving only the mountain cleaved in two by the sword Qi, silently in its place.

...

When he reappeared, Shen Mo had already arrived outside Chen Mengze’s Dark Ice Mansion.

As always when he visited, upon sending a message to Chen Mengze, the formations and prohibitions outside the mansion ceased with a series of "crackling" sounds. Once Shen Mo entered, they resumed operation!

Chen Mengze’s mansion was meticulously crafted from a massive amount of millennia-old dark ice, with ice doors, ice walls, ice pillars, and ice tiles complementing each other, exuding chilling air, still so bone-chillingly cold; Shen Mo followed the ice corridor deep inside and soon arrived at Chen Mengze’s sleeping quarters.

She had just finished her communication with the Ocher Immortal Slaying Bracelet spirit, apparently quite annoyed, as her crystalline face and long eyelashes were covered in frost.

Shen Mo smiled gently, "How can a lower-grade spiritual treasure be easily subdued?"

In the past, he had to exert a lot of effort to subdue the Drunken Immortal Pot, ultimately exhausting his patience and nearly eradicating its pot spirit before fully conquering it.

Seeing Chen Mengze looking adorably puffed, Shen Mo flickered with a spirit light and instantly appeared on the ice couch behind her;

He reached out, embracing her form, lowered his head to plant a gentle peck on her cold and glistening cheek, "Senior Sister, don’t be upset, that bracelet spirit is unaware of its own worth. You should teach it a lesson. Even if you accidentally refine it to death, I’ll find another spiritual treasure for you!"

With spiritual treasures, the higher the grade, the more stubborn the Artifact Spirit within, making them difficult to subdue once acquired.

When cultivators attempt to subdue and refine them while fearing damage to the treasure’s spirit, the Artifact Spirit becomes even more brazen, so one must never hesitate during "intimidation!"

Of course, there are exceptions;

For instance, the spiritual treasure Ice Hairpin was quite akin to Chen Mengze, and she easily made the hairpin spirit recognize her as its master.

"Hmm! I understand."

Chen Mengze nodded, but she did not attempt to further subdue the Ocher Immortal Slaying Bracelet, storing it instead. Her head was half-tilted upward, as she looked at Shen Mo with concern and asked, "You were injured in the previous battle with the Longevity Demon Lord, have the injuries healed yet? If not fully recovered, I have just cultivated a breath of nature Qi..."

Before she could finish, Shen Mo’s expression shifted, temporarily abandoning the idea of giving her the "Ice Marrow Spirit Blood from Ning Qingnv." He immediately leaned in to bite her lips.

Shen Mo adjusted to a more comfortable posture, hugging Chen Mengze’s delicate, snowy body in his arms, one hand undoing her belt, slipping into her magic robe while savoring the sweet coldness of her lips and the delightful touch of his fingers.

Even after all these years of numerous intimate moments, Chen Mengze was still somewhat flushed and unable to contain herself...

She tightly closed her eyes, a blush spreading from her cheeks to her shoulders and neck, her long, lightly frosted eyelashes trembling continuously, and her previously icy-cool body rapidly warming, becoming increasingly hot, her breathing promoting the surging cold energy within the mansion!

As Shen Mo was about to make a move, Chen Mengze suddenly broke free from his embrace, somewhat "drama-queen" tightening her magical artifact belt.

"No! It’s not the right time yet."

Shen Mo’s gaze clarified, and he had no intention of forcing her, just quickly pulling her back into his arms, whispering softly amidst the intimacy, "Then when will be the right time?"

"You should know, Junior Brother, that the Pure Jade Mantra I cultivate is rather mystical!"

Chen Mengze pressed down Shen Mo’s playful hand, continuing with a red face, "Due to the cultivation method, during our first Yin and Yang convergence, we both will gain immense benefits! However, only when my realm matches yours, can the optimal effect be achieved, even elevating both our cultivation levels by a Minor Realm."

"You’re currently early-stage Formless Realm, and I’m early-stage Divine Bridge, with a full Major Realm difference. It would waste this once-in-a-lifetime great opportunity!"

Shen Mo felt a bit perturbed. Though their relationship now lacked the name of Dao companion, eventually it would have its reality.

Only, his cultivation speed was unmatched by ordinary people, even if Chen Mengze’s cultivation progress was remarkably fast, by the time she reached the Formless Realm, he might have already cultivated to immortality, then wouldn’t they miss it again?

Chen Mengze nestled her cheek against Shen Mo’s palm, soothingly, "If by the time I’ve cultivated to Formless, you remain in the Formless Realm, I’ll... grant your wish."

"But if by that time, Junior Brother has achieved True Immortality, then you’ll have to patiently continue waiting for me."

"When both of us are at the same tier, it won’t be too late, and doing so will enable us to progress even further. Wastefulness of such an immensely fortuitous opportunity would be truly regrettable!"
