Ling Yuwei stood behind Chu Mo, sizing up the person in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction: "Hmm, still as handsome as ever!"

"This mask is?" Chu Mo could feel the extraordinariness of this mask but did not know its origin.

"This mask... hehe, it's the work of another master artificer from Luotian Immortal Domain. His works have one characteristic; once created, even he himself can't recognize them," Realm Spirit chuckled beside him.

"..." Chu Mo was momentarily speechless and thought to himself, how could an artificer be so muddle-headed that they can't even recognize their own work?

Seeing his disbelief, Realm Spirit cheerily said, "This is truly the spirit of a great craftsman, because such masks are intended to conceal the true face. It generates a new face according to the features of each individual, and unless a unique mark is left, even the creator cannot recognize it. That master artificer is a cultivator of noble character and never does such things, hence his masks are always in great demand."

So, that was it. Chu Mo came to a realization and smiled at the mirror. The young and valiant person in the mirror also smiled back at him.

"This battle attire is also extraordinary, all of them the works of top master artificers from the other side. Moreover, wearing them will pose no problems," Realm Spirit said.

Once everything was ready, Ling Yuwei pulled out an ancient scroll, made of some unknown material that looked like it could be beast skin. Its color was indistinct, indicating its antiquity.

"The beast skin of a Time Beast... This item is becoming increasingly rare," Realm Spirit remarked pensively.

Ling Yuwei slowly unrolled the scroll and handed it to Chu Mo, whispering a series of numbers to him, then said, "Brand these numbers onto the scroll, and good luck, Young Master!"

Chu Mo glanced once more deeply at these two, then with clear-minded focus, took the scroll and silently branded the numbers Ling Yuwei gave him onto it. A mystical power of time exploded from the scroll, completely enveloping Chu Mo.

Whoosh!

Chu Mo's figure completely vanished from that place.

Sigh!

Ling Yuwei let out a long sigh, then glanced at Realm Spirit, with an unusual hint of vulnerability in her eyes.

Realm Spirit sighed lightly, "Ling'er, this is all we can do. The young master's qi movement is strong, he will be alright."

"Yes, the young master's qi movement is strong," Yuwei sighed, "But among those young supremes who might make it to the Trial Field, which one of them has poor luck?"

They are all top Heavenly Geniuses of a great domain, all real dragons and phoenixes among people, who can achieve the Dao at a young age—indeed none of them are with poor luck.

Realm Spirit smiled, "Don't forget, our young master has the qi movement from two domains combined! Besides, he's someone who can make those supreme entities feel threatened..."

Yuwei nodded, "Hopefully, he'll always be safe."

...

Chu Mo stood somewhat bewildered atop a small hill, looking towards the distant little village with rising wisp of cooking smoke, feeling the absence of any spirit energy in this slice of Heaven and Earth, he scratched his head and mumbled: "Is this the Trial Field? Is there a mistake? Was I teleported to a secular mortal realm?"

Ling Yuwei and the grand rooster had already imparted Chu Mo with plenty of knowledge regarding the Trial Field. However, they never mentioned such a scene within the Trial Field.

Wasn't it supposed to be full of dangers? Where threats not only come from the top Heavenly Geniuses of various domains, but the Trial Field itself is filled with all sorts of risks. Where even a blade of grass can emanate murderous intent that can slay a landlord, and a frog can swallow a supreme in one gulp. But what's going on with this peaceful and serene little village?

Could it be like the heavenly road, possessing indigenous beings living within the Trial Field? How do they survive?

Chu Mo pondered, releasing his divine sense to explore the depths of the little village. Because Sister Yuwei once told him, even a pretty and adorable little girl couldn't be trusted—she might smile sweetly at you one second, and the next, plunge a sword into your heart!

But then, Chu Mo was stunned because his divine sense could only stretch out a few miles.

This was preposterous!

Even a Primordial Infant stage cultivator has a divine sense that could cover tens of thousands of miles!

A cultivator at Chu Mo's level, with a single thought, could cover an entire galaxy! That's a distance of countless billions of miles!

How come here, his divine sense could only reach a few miles?

What was happening?

Chu Mo tried to leap into the air, which usually would allow him to easily cross a distance of millions of miles in an instant, traversing countless rivers and mountains.

However, at the moment, his leap only carried him about a dozen yards.

Well, that did have a bit of the flair of a martial expert from the secular mortal realm.

Chu Mo was completely stunned!

If it weren't for the fact that all the forces within his body were very normal, with no signs of being sealed, he might even suspect that he'd been suppressed!

Next to Chu Mo, there was a massive boulder about two to three yards tall. Before, such a boulder would have been turned into dust with merely a thought from Chu Mo, leaving no residue. But now, after applying the fierce might of his divine sense.

Not a single trace of movement from the huge rock!

Then, Chu Mo directly threw a punch at this massive boulder.

Bang!

After a muffled sound, the boulder shuddered violently a few times, and many cracks appeared, spreading from where he struck it like a spider web.

"How strange," Chu Mo felt somewhat unwell, a bit dazed.

If this Heaven and Earth suppressed realms, then he would definitely have a sense of it, just like when he had entered those small worlds before. One could clearly feel the suppression of realms. But here, he didn't feel this at all.

The overwhelming strength inside his body was still there!

The terrifying divine sense in his spiritual sea was also present!

But he just couldn't display the expected power in this place!

"Could it be that the problem isn't with me, but with this Heaven and Earth?" Chu Mo's eyes suddenly widened with this possibility, then he began to use the Fengshui Divine Art to deduce this place.

The Technique of Energy Observation could only reveal the mountains and rivers within several dozen miles, and it was blurry and vague.

Indeed, this was a place where the rules of Heaven and Earth were so powerful they bordered on the bizarre!

Is this the Trial Field? The entire world of the Trial Field... is like this?

Chu Mo furrowed his brows.

Neither One Sword nor Ling Yuwei had mentioned this place to him.

Upon reflection, this place did share some similarities with the small courtyard where he had attained his dao by chopping wood!

That ancient scroll had already disappeared. Clearly, it was a one-time item. Thinking again about how the scroll was left by his mother for Ling Yuwei to prepare for him, Chu Mo seemed to understand something.

This place was indeed the Trial Field, there should be no mistake. Because both One Sword and Ling Yuwei had said that the Trial Field was magical, with too many miraculous places, and rarely could anyone who had entered the Trial Field dare to say they fully understood it.

That also meant that his mother might have anticipated today's situation back then, thus, when preparing this scroll for him and telling Ling Yuwei those numbers, she specifically chose this place for him.

Thinking of this, Chu Mo felt a lot more settled. He glanced at the village shrouded in cooking smoke and decided to go take a look!

Since the rules of this Heaven and Earth could suppress him, they could clearly do the same to others!

It was almost impossible to harm him through divine abilities or arrays. And in hand-to-hand combat, Chu Mo was never afraid of anyone.

Looks can be deceiving; the mountain wasn't very far from the small village at first glance, but in reality, it was separated by a distance of seventy or eighty li. For Chu Mo, such a distance would be virtually insignificant on any normal day. But now, when he could only jump a dozen yards at a time, seventy or eighty li... wasn't close anymore.

Fortunately, the power within Chu Mo's body seemed inexhaustible. He took long strides and began to sprint. On each step, he leaped over a dozen yards, and in the blink of an eye, he found himself in a far distant place.

Outstanding individuals were called such because, no matter where they go, they outshine others.

The small village was very quiet, with probably only a few dozen households. At the entrance of the village, there was a creek flowing slowly, and a small stone bridge spanned the creek. The water was clear, quietly babbling, and from time to time, some fish and shrimp could be seen swimming.

When Chu Mo arrived at the entrance of the village, an ancient tree there caught his eye.

This ancient tree, thick enough for over a dozen people to embrace, wasn't particularly tall but had dense foliage, covering half of the village. From this tree, a strong life force emanated. Chu Mo sensed a sort of spirituality.

This was an extremely rare plant cultivator!

Chu Mo almost instantly came to this conclusion. He stood there, quietly observing the ancient tree for a long while, attempting to communicate with it, but received no response.

At this moment, a young wife carrying a wooden basin full of clothes came out from the village. Seeing Chu Mo, she was momentarily stunned, her face immediately turning red, seeming very shy and nervous, as well as full of curiosity, stealing glances at Chu Mo.

Chu Mo smiled at the young wife: "Sister, greetings. I've come from outside."

The wife's face turned even redder, extending to her neck as she lowered her head deeply, not replying and standing there, seemingly a little lost.

Then, a man with a curled beard came out from the village, apparently noticing the young wife's unusual behavior and came out specially to check. He saw Chu Mo and his expression immediately changed, then he fiercely glared at the wife, scolded her in a low voice: "Shameless thing, get lost quickly!"

The wife's eyes, brimming with tears, instantly misted, and she didn't dare to argue. Holding the basin, she hurriedly walked back.

The man with the curled beard coldly stared at Chu Mo: "Stranger, get out of here, don't come looking for trouble! Otherwise, the Tree God will make sure you have no place to be buried!"
