The swamp was too vast, its end invisible even from the sky.
"You actually hid your real body in a place like this?" Chu Mo felt the occasional terrifying aura emanating from the gigantic swamp and couldn't help but feel surprised.
It was hard to imagine that the World-Dominating Biao would hide its true body in a swamp teeming with formidable creatures.
The World-Dominating Biao suddenly looked at Chu Mo with a face full of bitterness and didn't want to say a word; it just wanted some peace. If Biao Lord had known earlier that you were ignorant... it would never have submitted to you, even in death!
But now it was too late to say anything, the little fellow had tricked it. Fortunately, the World-Dominating Biao knew how to console itself. There were benefits to following Chu Mo, at least it could leave this cage-like heavenly road. It had not acted all these years because it had no confidence in getting through that chaotic region and entering another heavenly road. On the other hand, if it had really chosen not to compromise at that time, Chu Mo would definitely have killed it. And for its roots to recover in this great swamp, it would take many years.
So be it!
Let this be a choice of fate!
The World-Dominating Biao kept comforting itself until its mood gradually calmed down.
It led Chu Mo, carefully traversing among the powerful creatures of all kinds.
The various powerful beings that inhabited this great swamp seemed to be very low-key, although they all released their auras, which drifted in the air, faintly visible. Yet, as the World-Dominating Biao led Chu Mo through, no creature came out to stop them.
Chu Mo was somewhat curious and asked, "Don't the creatures in this swamp attack each other?"
The World-Dominating Biao replied, "No, they have lived here for too many years and have grown accustomed to each other's presence. They do not attack each other."
"What about us outsiders... they don't seem to react to us?" Chu Mo probed further.
The World-Dominating Biao smiled lightly, "That's because they know I have returned."
"Um?" Chu Mo was slightly startled.
The World-Dominating Biao said, "I have lived a long life, almost like I watched them grow up. In the course of their growth, they inevitably encounter various dangers. Whenever I can, I lend them a hand. Because of that, they all respect me quite a bit."
"Is that so?" Chu Mo eyed the back of the World-Dominating Biao's head with disbelief, thinking to himself how could a ferocious Quasi-Saint level medicine that feeds on imperial herbs be so kind-hearted?
"Don't be skeptical, everything I've told you is true," the World-Dominating Biao seemingly sensed Chu Mo's gaze and spoke, "My diet consists of great medicines; this is my nature, just like carnivorous beasts that prey on other animals for food, it's all part of natural instinct; and my combative nature is even more so a part of instinct, yet I don't provoke other beings wantonly."
"Will they be angry to see you subdued?" asked Chu Mo.
The World-Dominating Biao gave a wry smile and said, "They've all grown very powerful, but to be honest, they're no match for you. The rules of this road forbid beings from entering the Supreme Realm. To you, beings below Supreme, how could they be your opponents?"
"Although you're flattering me, I do like hearing it," Chu Mo laughed heartily.
In fact, he himself wasn't clear on how strong his combat power was now.
The hierarchy of spiritual medicines was ultimately different from other beings. Like on this path, where beings of the Supreme Realm couldn't appear, Supreme medicines and Quasi-Saint medicines could!
But Quasi-Saint medicines like the World-Dominating Biao, who were extremely ferocious and skilled in combat, were after all the minority among minorities; probably the entire Cultivation Realm couldn't find many like it.
The World-Dominating Biao led Chu Mo deeper into the swamp, having traveled tens of millions of miles, they stopped in front of a vast lake that seemed like an ocean.
"This is the place," said the World-Dominating Biao softly. "It's been many years since I returned here."
As it spoke, the World-Dominating Biao began casting spells, stirring its own body.
Subsequently, a massive plant slowly rose from the great lake, emerging inch by inch.
This plant was shockingly over thirty thousand feet tall, its entire body dazzling with a brilliant radiance that made it impossible to discern its true color.
"The water in this lake is very special; ordinary creatures simply cannot survive here. Even a cultivator at the realm of Great Luo Golden Immortal would instantly reduce to a skeleton if they fell in," World-Dominating Biao explained to Chu Mo, then kicked a massive stone into the lake.
Plop!
The gigantic stone plunged into the water, causing a huge splash, and then... something astonishing happened.
Before the considerable weight of the stone could even sink, the part that came into contact with the water started to disintegrate rapidly, and in just an instant, the entire boulder... completely vanished!
Chu Mo was certain; not a trace of the stone remained. It had been completely corroded by the lake water!
"Such formidable water," Chu Mo said as he slowly walked to the lake's edge and extended his hand, intending to probe the water.
World-Dominating Biao was taken aback, "Master, what are you doing?"
"I want to try and see just how strong this corrosive power is." Chu Mo replied, dipping a finger into the water.
His physical body was incredibly robust, now, even more, terrifyingly powerful after having merged two paths and opened the Myriad Dao within himself. It was likely that even a being of the Supreme's physique would not be much stronger than Chu Mo's current physical body.
The moment Chu Mo dipped his finger into the water, he felt a slight sting. A powerful corrosive force instantly enveloped his finger, tearing at the flesh as if desperately trying to rip it off.
Chu Mo was slightly startled and couldn't help but sigh, "Such corrosive power, I fear even a normal true immortal would not be able to bear it."
World-Dominating Biao said, "A Great Luo Golden Immortal would turn to bones in an instant when they fall in, and soon there would be nothing left of them. A being at the Heavenly Immortal Realm might not die immediately, but if they stayed a bit longer, their death would be inevitable. This water probably couldn't kill a true immortal, but it could grievously wound them."
Chu Mo nodded, then thought for a moment. His eyes sparkled as he pointed a finger and directly drew the lake water into the world within his Sky Mirror Dharma Instrument!
The world within the Sky Mirror Dharma Instrument was vast. With a single thought, Chu Mo created a large lake inside the Sky Mirror Dharma Instrument.
World-Dominating Biao watched, completely dumbstruck. It knew, of course, that human cultivators had storage rings and that such storage spaces were common. They were merely dharma instruments created with the principle of space, nothing extraordinary.
But it had never heard of anyone having such a storage space... no, seeing how Chu Mo was drawing the water, it was clear he intended to take away a large volume. How large was his storage space?
World-Dominating Biao was astounded; it even recalled a legend: powerful beings with formidable magic and profound realms did not merely have ordinary space for storage, but a small world! Within that small world, living beings could even exist!
Could it be... that its somewhat scheming master also possessed such a small world?
Just then, as Chu Mo opened the connection between the Sky Mirror Dharma Instrument and the outside world, World-Dominating Biao suddenly felt Huang Jianlan's essence!
That was a strong life force!
She was alive!
And unsealed!
World-Dominating Biao looked at Chu Mo with a face full of pleasant surprise.
Chu Mo suddenly said, "World-Dominating Biao, what if I could move this entire lake? Would your true body still be able to remain in it? Although you haven't said so, I have a feeling that your true body benefits from this lake water."
"Move an entire lake?" World-Dominating Biao dumbfoundedly looked at the vast lake, which seemed like an endless sea, and then at Chu Mo, "Master, are you serious?"
