On their way back, Chu Mo and the rooster had a smooth journey headed west, barely meeting anyone along the way!

A man and a chicken, casually bickering and arguing, made their lives rather jovial. There was no rush on the journey back, hence, only after seven days did Chu Mo and the rooster returned to a location about a hundred miles away from Yanhuang City.

They stood on a mountain, gazing at the grand city in the distance.

"How is it? The mortal world's city is quite impressive, isn't it?" Chu Mo turned to the rooster beside him and asked with some satisfaction.

"Impressive?" The rooster looked at Chu Mo with some sympathy, "Wait until you enter the Heavenly Realm and see the Big City there, then talk about being 'impressed'."

"Boring, this is the human world!" Chu Mo rolled his eyes and said, "By the way, big rooster, you can't follow me into the city like this. You'll scare everyone."

"How can Lord Rooster's grandeur and might scare people?" The rooster looked at Chu Mo with disbelief.

Chu Mo twitched the corners of his mouth, "Have you ever seen a rooster as big as you?"

"How could those mortal roosters be compared to Lord Rooster?" The rooster sneered and turned his head away.

Chu Mo looked at the rooster with an exasperated expression, "So, you think you're invincible in this mundane world?"

"Pretty much!" The rooster replied proudly, "Lord Rooster is not a fighting cock, but not just anyone is qualified to fight with me."

"Enough, if you want to enter the city with me, you need to be more low-key. The way you are now… is just too conspicuous!" Chu Mo said.

"You mean, Lord Rooster is too good-looking?" The rooster looked at Chu Mo.

Chu Mo made a pretending to vomit gesture, then said, "What I mean is, if you don't want to be turned into braised chicken, be more low-key!"

"Kid...you're asking for it!" The rooster flapped its wings and instantly charged at Chu Mo, and a fierce battle ensued.

"Look at Lord Rooster's invincible kick!"

A moment later...

"Take your claws away or I'll cook you!"

"I won't!"

"Take them away? If not, I'm getting a knife."

"Do you have any other means besides threatening me with a weapon?" The rooster scornfully retorted, standing on Chu Mo's leg.

Chu Mo's retort was ice cold, "There will be later!"

The disgruntled rooster reluctantly retracted its claws, muttering unhappily, "You're no match for me. How shameful to threaten me with a weapon."

"You are not a human, so how would you know what humiliation feels like?" Chu Mo retorted, casually getting up from the ground.

With Chu Mo's current abilities, he was no match for the rooster without using his Heaven Slaying weapon, but he never tired of fighting with the rooster. Even though the rooster proclaimed that it wasn't a fighting chicken, its combat skills were actually very strong and it was very valiant in battle.

Especially during their previous spar, when it exhibited an unmatched combat power. It managed to reduce Chu Mo to a state of disarray, only stopping when threatened with the Heaven Slaying weapon.

Afterwards, the rooster slowly shrank down but was still twice as large as an average rooster.

In the rooster's words, "Lord Rooster" had never degraded himself like this in his life. It was a huge sacrifice to be this way now.

Chu Mo had no choice but to pacify the rooster's wounded pride with a Creation Fish. Fortunately, this fish made the rooster throw all his dissatisfaction out of the window.

The stone pit was placed beside a small, withered tree in the jade space, and all the Creation Fish inside were lively and jumping around.

According to the rooster, the Sky Mirror was a naturally occuring Creation artifact and had no problem keeping these Creation Fish alive. Moreover, these Creation Fish, as long as they have enough food, will soon begin to spawn.

But when Chu Mo asked what the Creation Fish eat, the rooster was somewhat evasive. In the end, under the relentless pursuit of Chu Mo and his Heaven Slaying weapon, it had no choice but to confess to Chu Mo. The food of the Creation Fish does not exist in this world.

It may be available in the Spirit Realm, but that's not guaranteed either.

It's a kind of worm that specifically grows in the Netherworld River, known as Netherworm.

"What is the Netherworld River? Is it a river in the Netherworld?" Chu Mo asked the rooster.

"No, it's the river in extremely Yin environments like burial sites, and it is known as Netherworld River." The rooster responded meekly.

"Such a place is almost impossible to exist on the Four Symbols Continent, isn't it?" Chu Mo said sharply.

The rooster guiltily nodded, "If such a place existed on the Four Symbols Continent, it would probably have long been corroded by Yin energy, making it impossible for any living beings to exist. The Netherworld is so vast that there might just be such a place…"

"There is no Netherworld River here, so naturally there will be no Netherworms. Without Netherworms, these Creation Fish cannot reproduce. Big rooster… what you're saying is that from ancient times to the present, there has never been an increase in the number of Creation Fish on the Four Symbols Continent, only a decrease, right?" Chu Mo's voice was icy as he glared at the rooster.

"Well… ahem… what Lord Rooster was trying to tell you..."

"Is it correct or not!"

"Correct!"

Chu Mo glared at the rooster in anger, "Since you knew, why didn't you say anything? The number of these fish is decreasing, and with your rate of consumption, they won't last until we enter the Spirit Realm! They will all be eaten by you! What will you do then?"

The rooster looked at Chu Mo sheepishly, "Lord Rooster knew… but he just couldn't control himself."

"Starting from today, you are not allowed to eat any!" Chu Mo scowled, "Not until we enter the Spirit Realm, find the Netherworld River, catch Netherworms, and watch with our eyes as the Creation Fish spawn!"

The rooster, feeling guilty, saw Chu Mo's anger and felt a bit embarrassed. It said, "Actually… Netherworm alone is not enough…"

Chu Mo glared at it, exasperated.

The rooster softly said, "We also need Reincarnation Pool water…"

Chu Mo, suppressing the urge to strangle the rooster, snapped, "Where do we get that item apart from the Heavenly Realm?"

"Lord Rooster mentioned Reincarnation Pool water, not water from the Six Paths of Reincarnation Pool," the rooster explained cautiously, afraid to provoke Chu Mo further. "This Reincarnation Pool exists in all realms. The Four Symbols Continent is no exception."

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Okay, later you will have to take me there!" Chu Mo said.

The rooster shrank its neck and timidly said, "That place is dangerous...".

"Why are you so cowardly?" Chu Mo exclaimed.

The rooster was also upset, "Lord Rooster, cowardly? Kid, remember your own words! When we go to the Reincarnation Pool, if you don't dare to go and fetch water, swallow your own words!"

Both the man and the chicken snorted simultaneously, ignoring each other, and continued on their way back to Yanhuang City. (To be continued.
