Chapter 1010 - 1019: Refining the Blood God Seal, Competing for Spots

After speaking, Huang Yi stared directly into Chen Mo's eyes, her beautiful eyes revealing a serious and solemn expression.

High in the sky, the sunlight on the island formed a flowing layer of cold light beneath her porcelain-white skin, with faint stardust patterns distributed from behind her ears to her collarbone.

"So beautiful!"

Chen Mo stood with her on the Cyan Lotus, the two of them extremely close, and this proximity made his heart flutter.

Of course, despite his heart racing, the opportunity that Huang Yi spoke of definitely wouldn't be so easily obtained. He didn't agree impulsively but instead cupped his hands and asked, "Dare I ask, Fairy Yi, what is this opportunity, and how is the challenge?"

Huang Yi's eyes flickered slightly, and she said, "The opportunity is a spot to enter a secret realm, and in this secret realm grows a Pure Treasure Tree, said to be hybridized with the roots of the World Tree. This Pure Treasure Tree produces nine Seven-Turned Spirit Fruits every thousand years, and consuming this Spirit Fruit can help one step into the Spirit Platform Extreme Realm."

"Spirit Platform Extreme Realm?" Chen Mo showed confusion.

"In the Ancient Times, the Spirit Platform Realm didn't just have five layers but seven. However, as heaven and earth changed, it was discovered that cultivating beyond the five layers of the Spirit Platform became increasingly difficult, requiring a hundred times more time with no guarantee of success. So, past cultivators simplified it, reducing it to a Five-Layered Spirit Platform. Successfully cultivating the Five-Layered Spirit Platform allowed one to enter the Spirit Wheel Realm, and the Spirit Wheel Realm achieved from the Five-Layered Spirit Platform is not weaker compared to that attained from a Seven-Layered Spirit Platform," Huang Yi explained.

"Not weaker than that achieved from a Seven-Layered Spirit Platform, but the ceiling isn't as high, right?" Chen Mo understood that Huang Yi wasn't trying to imply the Five and Seven-Layered Spirit Platforms were equivalent.

"Correct." Huang Yi turned slightly and continued, "The Spirit Platform is the foundation of the path of spiritual cultivation. With the same talent, the higher the Spirit Platform is built, the greater the future achievements. More cultivators have proven this over time. Since you've chosen Spirit and God Dual Cultivation, you mustn't miss the Spirit Platform Extreme Realm.

Moreover, even if you don't obtain the Seven-Turned Spirit Fruit, some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in this secret realm can help you enter the Spirit Wheel Realm."

"From what you said, Fairy Yi, the challenge must be related to securing a spot in this secret realm." Chen Mo could guess one or two things.

"Correct." Huang Yi turned back, locking eyes with the young man before her, and smiled, "This secret realm wasn't discovered by my race alone. Two other forces in the Celestial Star Realm also found it.

The Seven-Turned Spirit Fruit, though a rare Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, is only useful to cultivators in the Spirit Platform Realm, so it's not worth fighting to the death over. Thus, my race and these two forces reached an agreement to co-own it. Every thousand years, each sends three Spirit Platform Realm juniors into the secret realm, where they compete for the fruit with their skills."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo finally understood and said, "Fairy Yi wants me to compete for one of the three spots among the Fairy Race?"

Huang Yi nodded.

"This..." Chen Mo worried, "Since it's a spot from Fairy Yi's race, as an outsider, they probably wouldn't consent to me competing, right?"

"No need to worry; with me here, as long as you win the competition, I'll help secure the spot for you," Huang Yi said after pondering for a moment.

Hearing this, Chen Mo discerned some hidden information, having been an Emperor in the outside world.

It seems there are quite a few factions within Huang Yi's race.

Otherwise, these three spots are family resources, and even if they must be contested, it would be internally within the family rather than given to outsiders.

Seeing Chen Mo remain silent, Huang Yi felt a bit disappointed but still said, "The competition for the spots will be held three days from now. If you want to enter the fray, you can come to me anytime within these three days."

To be fair, the reason Huang Yi offered such an opportunity to Chen Mo was mainly to compensate for the incomplete cleansing of Chen Mo's Spiritual Power.

"No need, I agree to enter the fray." Chen Mo thought for a while; this was an opportunity, and if not seized well, it would be gone forever.

The key point is that Huang Yi bringing it up this way shows she regards him highly, whether he can secure a spot or not. Agreeing might forge a good relation with her.

"Very good."

A slight smile appeared on Huang Yi's face as she said, "Come here before the hour of the Dragon three days later, and I'll take you to the competition location. Of course, you can also choose to stay here and make any requests you have."

"Um..." Chen Mo indeed had a request, rubbing his hands and said, "Fairy Yi, could you provide me with some of those Immortal Fruits that my Primordial Spirit refined when I entered the island?"

Huang Yi was slightly taken aback at hearing this, raising her jade hand to stroke the Cyan Jade Hairpin atop her head. A flash of cyan light later, a Small Jade Bottle appeared in her hand, which she handed to Chen Mo: "I don't have any Fire Spirit Fruits, but I do have a bottle of Fire Spirit Pills refined from the Fire Spirit Fruit."

As she spoke, Huang Yi was somewhat perplexed and added, "However, even the Fire Spirit Pill wouldn't be of much help to you now."

Chen Mo was already at the Fifth Layer of the Spirit Platform; unless he had thousands of Fire Spirit Pills, they wouldn't be of much help. Besides, whether Fire Spirit Pills or Fire Spirit Fruits, after the first, each subsequent consumption weakens in effect.

"Thank you, Fairy Yi. To be honest, I originally wanted to pick some Immortal Fruits for my family, but now..."

Chen Mo glanced at the island below; the Vajra Circle was too domineering, turning the Spiritual Qi-rich island into a barren land.
