"What?" Chu Mo stared at the Realm Spirit in bewilderment, his eyes full of incomprehension, questioning whether he had heard wrong.

"Challenge the Jin Wu Emperor. That bird has already put your reward in the Illusionary Divine World. No matter who it is, if they defeat him, they will get the Samadhi Real Fire. The reward he has put up this time is pretty good, the Samadhi Real Fire is considered a top-tier fire even in the Heavenly Realm. For you, it's the best choice for alchemy." Realm Spirit said leisurely, looking at Chu Mo.

Before Chu Mo could respond, the Realm Spirit said, "Don't think your Chaos Furnace can do everything!"

Chu Mo twitched at the corner of his mouth, and thought to himself, 'You were just talking about the rules, claiming you wouldn't pry into things you're not supposed to know, but it seems my secret is fair game to you.'

The Realm Spirit glanced at Chu Mo and said lightly, "All the things you possess were placed on you by me back then... So don't think I'm snooping into your secrets."

"What?" Chu Mo was initially shocked, then his eyes sparkled as he looked at the Realm Spirit: "You put them on me? Then…"

The Realm Spirit waved his hand to interrupt Chu Mo's question: "I absolutely won't speak a word about it."

"Why not?" Chu Mo felt like someone had thrown a bucket of cold water on him.

"It's for your own good," the Realm Spirit said, "Rest assured, although that little tiger suspects you possess an artifact, he will never guess what it is. While artifacts are enticing, they are not an urgent need for most beings in the Heavenly Realm. No one other than me knows your secret so far."

"But…I want to know…" Chu Mo pleaded with the Realm Spirit.

The secret he carries directly relates to his origins. The man before him is informed, and Chu Mo was desperate to know his own background, as well as who his parents were.

"Forget about it. I've technically broken the rules just telling you this much." The Realm Spirit's tone hardened. He looked at Chu Mo with a serious face and said, "Even if you knew everything now, it wouldn't benefit you! It would only bring you endless disasters, so disastrous that even I…"

Having said that, the Realm Spirit fell silent, shook his head, and changed the topic: "Now let's talk about the challenge to the Jin Wu Emperor. If you want to use the Chaos Furnace to refine the Heavenly Primordial Pill, you must have a powerful real fire. Samadhi Real Fire is a good choice."

Chu Mo was not satisfied with the Realm Spirit's shifting of topics, but also deeply helpless.

"When will I qualify to know these things?" Chu Mo was a stubborn man at heart, otherwise, how would he dare set foot on the vast icy tundra at such a young age?

"Wait until the Illusionary Divine World is shattered," said the Realm Spirit.

"What..." Chu Mo stared at the Realm Spirit with a twitching mouth: "Are you messing with me?"

"Why should I be messing with you?" The Realm Spirit answered without expression.

"The Illusionary Divine World has existed for countless years, hasn't it?" Chu Mo could feel a surge of anger burning within him.

"To be specific, the Illusionary Divine World has existed for over one hundred and thirty thousand years." The Realm Spirit's eyes flashed with memories as he spoke.

"One hundred and thirty thousand years, this reaches back to a very old era. How can such a stable world with its own rules... possibly shatter?" Chu Mo stared at the Realm Spirit with gritted teeth.

If he were able to defeat the Realm Spirit, he might have split him with a sword already.

"Nobody can be sure about that. It might be a few years, or a few hundred years, or tens of thousands of years..." The Realm Spirit looked at Chu Mo with a complex expression, "Don't blame me for not telling you; in fact, the Illusionary Divine World exists because of you. So, it could collapse at any moment."

"Because of me? What kind of joke is that?" Chu Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes, feeling frustrated.

"I've already said too much. One day in the future, you'll understand." The Realm Spirit droop.ed his eyelids, not wishing to continue the topic. No matter how Chu Mo pressed, he refused to say more.

In the end, Chu Mo had to give up in despair because he knew that the Realm Spirit wouldn't tell him the truth.

"You don't know about alchemy at all! You're just using the connection between your own blood and the Chaos Furnace, along with the spirit of the Chaos Furnace to perform alchemy. The fact that you can refine a perfect quality of Spiritual Origin Pill is already incredible!"

"Don't think just because the Chaos Furnace gives you the elixir recipe that you can do anything. I dare you to try, you just can't refine Xian and Tian quality elixirs. As for five elements elixirs… it's virtually impossible for you!"

"If top-quality elixir was that easy to refine, who could have been an opponent to the Emperor of Elixir in the old days?"

"So you must challenge that big bird, obtain the Samadhi Real Fire, refine it, and then in this process, I will teach you alchemy until you learn it!"

"Once you have done so, you can demonstrate your alchemy skills in the Illusionary Divine World."

"I understand your ambition; you want to become a new Emperor of Elixir. Although in my opinion, this aspiration is quite backward, even a little laughable. Your ambition should be solely about you, but considering the current circumstances, it is indeed the best path for you."

"Because only by mastering potent alchemy skills, can you win over various powers and… those powerful cultivators!"

The Realm Spirit looked at Chu Mo and rattled off a slew of words, disregarding the previous unpleasantness between them.

Chu Mo finally understood - it turns out there are so many things about alchemy. Just because he had the Chaos Furnace and powerful elixir recipes, didn't mean he could create top tier elixirs.

Looking back, his performance at Lingdan Hall was indeed somewhat pompous and naive.

If the Realm Spirit hadn't pointed it out, what could he have offered the Feng Chun Emperor? Could he have fled the Illusionary Divine World for good?

Chu Mo broke out in a cold sweat thinking about it. He had almost made a terrible mistake!

That was absolutely not the result Chu Mo wanted.

So, it seemed that he really needed to obtain the Samadhi Real Fire that the Jin Wu Emperor had left in the Human Layer.

"But… With my current state, how can I challenge him?" Chu Mo despondently said, "Even if the Jin Wu Emperor was only at the Mahayana phase when he was in the Human Layer, that's still a phase way beyond my reach!"

"The bird's battle phantom left in the Human Layer is sentient. If you challenge it normally, he might not even look at you. A mere breath could kill you!" said the Realm Spirit bluntly. "But because it's sentient, you can negotiate with it!"

"Negotiate? How? Ask him to seal his strength and compete with me?" Chu Mo looked at the Realm Spirit, twitching at the mouth. He scoffed: "He's not you..." (To be continued.
