Chu Mo quickly left, and to be honest, he felt somewhat softened by Ye Qing's crying at that moment. However, he was very clear in his heart that this destination, for Ye Qing, could not be any better! Whether that Quasi-Supreme realm guy was lying or not, he could see through at a glance.
As for Jiang Caiyue, he also had a relatively direct understanding of her: a woman with an actor's face but a man's heart. A bit hot-tempered, somewhat wilful but not arrogant. She can be seen as quite a reasonable person.
If Jiang Caiyue could hear Chu Mo's evaluation of her, she would certainly be overjoyed, nodding repeatedly and praising Chu Mo: Yes, yes, you're right, that's exactly what I think.
But if it gets out and others who know Jiang Caiyue hear it, they'll definitely faint and then look up to the sky and sigh: That witch... reasonable?
Anyway, Chu Mo did not have a bad impression of Jiang Caiyue, and Ye Qing coming out from that place to follow him would undoubtedly be filled with risks. Having Jiang Caiyue, such a woman, to protect her would be much better than being by his side.
So, despite some reluctance, he still resolutely let go.
Afterwards, Chu Mo strolled around the city, and then found a small inn. After entering, he was speechless again because, astonishingly, the inn owner was a cultivator in the Supreme Realm.
Well, this place is just so willful, Chu Mo didn't even see anyone from the Emperor Realm.
He guessed they probably can't get in, or were killed long ago...
The inn owner was very enthusiastic but also very expensive; a small courtyard cost a staggering hundred thousand top-grade Heavenly Crystals per day. With that kind of money, one could build a hundred inns like this one.
Of course, Chu Mo didn't want to stay at the inn. Otherwise, why wouldn't he just set down a house on a piece of open land? He wanted to understand this world, to find out the specifics of the Trial Field!
In fact, running an inn in this city wasn't really for the sake of accommodating people!
While the number of Heavenly Geniuses entering the Trial Field was not particularly high, it was not low either, and there were always newcomers who didn't understand anything. They chose to stay in inns for the same purpose as Chu Mo.
Thus, after paying five million top-grade Heavenly Crystals, the inn owner became even more enthusiastic. In the process of chatting with Chu Mo, the inn owner was very forthcoming.
Only then did Chu Mo understand that people like him, newcomers to the Trial Field, were commonly seen, and the so-called staying in an inn was more like a consultation fee.
Thinking this way, spending five million top-grade Heavenly Crystals was not a loss.
Through the inn owner, Chu Mo gained a general understanding of the Trial Field, including the Seven Great Domains and the Luotian Immortal Domain. As for the Yanhuang Domain, the eighth domain, Chu Mo didn't even ask; the topic was too sensitive and could easily lead to other thoughts.
To Chu Mo, knowing about the Seven Great Domains and the Luotian Immortal Domain was sufficient, but the situation in the Trial Field was still very useful to him.
Just as he had known before, the Trial Field was indeed a very cruel place, but at the same time, it was also one that tempered individuals greatly!
Here existed the best opportunities, but also the most ferocious dangers!
Heavenly Geniuses who could appear in the Trial Field were all outstanding; there were no mediocrities!
But even among Heavenly Geniuses, there are differences. The relatively weak Heavenly Geniuses are basically just stepping stones for others here.
"Or, just like us, start a shop and run a small business. It is stable and safe in this city, and nobody comes to bother us. We can also earn some resources. It's quite good," the inn owner revealed why there would be cities within the Trial Field.
"The Trial Field is a vast world, immensely expansive, and to speak of it, it's not much smaller than a domain. Within it, there are three forbidden lands." The inn owner looked at Chu Mo: "Young man, don't sparkle your eyes when you hear forbidden lands. The forbidden lands of the Trial Field are truly forbidden! Even saints might not come out if they enter!"
"…" Chu Mo was immediately at a loss for words.
The inn owner did not dwell on this topic and continued: "At the same time, there are six perilous places. By comparison, although the six perilous places are also extremely dangerous, there have been people who have come back from there alive, bringing back unimaginable opportunities. However, those places are not suitable for you either. Don't take offense at my words, young man; relatively speaking, your realm is still a bit lacking."
Chu Mo nodded, without any displeasure on his face.
The inn owner said: "In the Trial Field, there are three rankings: Heaven, Earth, and Man. These rankings are not artificially generated. There stand three stone steles in the river of reincarnation, which are said to record every cultivator that enters the Trial Field. But if you don't meet the standard, the stele won't display your name."
"The river of reincarnation?" Chu Mo frowned slightly, he thought of the waters of reincarnation. In the world of the Heavenly Mirror, the Creation Fish were still the same as before, and Chu Mo occasionally fed the Netherworld insects to the fish, but the Creation Fish couldn't lay eggs to reproduce their offspring.
Chu Mo had always felt that there was a great secret hidden within the Creation Fish, because even at his current realm, he still couldn't see through the secret of the Creation Fish. Therefore, he was very concerned about the waters of reincarnation.
"Indeed, within the Netherworld Abyss beneath the Reincarnation River, there exists a pool of Reincarnation Water," said the innkeeper. "But that water is of the utmost yin, and ordinary people dare not touch it. Especially since there are unnamed ominous beings within the Reincarnation Pool, I have not heard of anyone daring to go there. However it's different for the Reincarnation River, that place isn't dangerous."
"At the Reincarnation River, can one see the Heavenly, Earthly, and Human Rankings?" Chu Mo looked at the innkeeper and asked, "How many people are listed in each ranking?"
"Three thousand on the Human Ranking, one hundred on the Earthly Ranking, and ten on the Heavenly Ranking," replied the innkeeper.
Chu Mo couldn't help but take a sharp intake of breath and muttered, "That woman, Jiang Caiyue, is actually that formidable?"
The innkeeper was instantly stunned, his breath nearly halting as he looked at Chu Mo with horror: "You, you know Miss Jiang?"
"Yes, I've merely met her once," Chu Mo said, not wanting others to flatter him unduly. He was only pondering inwardly just how strong Jiang Caiyue was and how much he was lacking compared to her.
Three thousand on the Human Ranking, one hundred on the Earthly Ranking, but only ten spots on the Heavenly Ranking. This showed that those who could make it onto the Heavenly Ranking were definitely the true cream of the crop among Heavenly Geniuses!
The people on the Heavenly Ranking should then be the very top cultivators of the great domains, right?
"The Heavenly, Earthly, and Human Rankings only record the cultivators who are currently here. Meaning, even if you were the first on the Heavenly Ranking, if you leave the Trial Field, your name will disappear. Even if you enter again next time, you need to regain your place through battle," the innkeeper explained.
"Three thousand on the Human Ranking, so are you on it?" Chu Mo asked.
In his view, this innkeeper, being a cultivator in the Supreme Realm, should at least be listed on the Human Ranking, right?
The innkeeper, however, turned red and shook his head: "The Human Ranking? What am I thinking, is it that easy to get on there? With over a hundred thousand cultivators always in the Trial Field, countless are at the Supreme Realm and numerous at the Quasi-Supreme Realm. More importantly, there are many Grand Beings at the Quasi-Saint Realm! Who could compete with them for a spot on the rankings?"
Chu Mo was speechless, "You're saying that the number of Quasi-Supremes here in the Trial Field isn't large?"
"Of course not! Entering at that realm almost amounts to courting death! Or else they just settle down honestly to be shop assistants in the city!" the innkeeper blurted out, and only after he finished did he realize he was sitting in front of a Quasi-Supreme, adding apologetically, "I'm not talking about you, I mean the vast majority. You're definitely different from them..."
"..." Chu Mo was also speechless, thinking to himself what could you see that would make me any different from them? Such insincere flattery!
But Chu Mo didn't take it too seriously; he now felt increasingly fortunate for having Ye Qing stay by Jiang Caiyue's side. It was like finding a real rock to rely on! Chu Mo was truly happy for Ye Qing from the bottom of his heart.
Meanwhile, Jiang Caiyue over there was also doing work for Ye Qing.
This top Heavenly Genius, ranked tenth on the Heavenly Ranking, was currently anxious and kept pacing around Ye Qing, who was silently shedding tears. If this woman weren't the rare bearer of the Fire Phoenix Body, she would have been smacked dead long ago!
A cultivator behaving in such a childish, teary manner, completely lacking any free-spirited demeanor, was nothing short of a freak!
Jiang Caiyue really wanted to ask this woman: How did you ever manage to survive until today? Could it be that before this, it was your young master who had been protecting you?
However, it didn't quite seem like that. Despite Jiang Caiyue's seemingly impulsive nature, her thoughts were actually quite delicate. She could sense the tricky relationship between Chu Mo and Ye Qing from their interactions. It didn't seem like the typical relationship between a maid and a young master.
Yet there wasn't any ambiguity between them, and oddly enough, Ye Qing was very dependent on her young master.
It was truly exasperating.
"Look, stop crying already, as if I'm going to harm you. Do you have any idea how many people would kneel and line up if I, Jiang Caiyue, said I wanted to take in a disciple? Do you understand?" Jiang Caiyue spoke to the unmoved Ye Qing with a sense of helplessness: "Can we talk? Stick by my side and focus on your cultivation, and sooner or later you'll be able to return to your young master's side!"
"Really?" After a whole night, Ye Qing finally spoke her first sentence, her tear-reddened eyes lighting up: "Can I really return to his side one day?"
"..." Jiang Caiyue was covered in metaphorical black lines, her delicate face turned dark, thinking, am I going to train and train, only to raise a top-notch power for that unworthy fellow? This is simply...
But on second thought, the Fire Phoenix constitution was too rare! Jiang Caiyue had only seen this one in so many years, and no matter what, she was not going to give up.
"Really!" Jiang Caiyue, with that in mind, nodded earnestly. Little did Ye Qing know how much Jiang Caiyue's promise was worth at this moment.
"Then, where will I find him when the time comes?" Ye Qing asked.
