Chapter 855 - 943: Reversal

A graceful figure flashed in the cave of the Fire Dao, and then disappeared mysteriously. When it reappeared, it was already beside Chen Mo.

"Half-Step Divinity Transformation, what is this?"

Zuoqiu Yiren grabbed Chen Mo’s hand, and in her anxiety, the first thing she wanted to do was check Chen Mo’s pulse.

But upon sensing, she discovered that Chen Mo had unexpectedly reached Half-Step Divinity Transformation.

This... This...

Jumping from the Middle Stage Nascent Soul to Half-Step Divinity Transformation— even with the Three Immortal Body, it would take at least ten to twenty years to achieve this level...

What kind of opportunity did he have?

Zuoqiu Yiren’s gaze turned to the coffin wrapped in vines.

Su Mengyan saw Zuoqiu Yiren’s face change. With her present, Su Mengyan couldn’t make a move against Chen Mo.

"Mengyan." Just as Su Mengyan frowned, another voice echoed from the back of the Fire Dao, followed by a rainbow light that shot across the stone chamber, transforming into the figure of Li Meng.

Seeing Li Meng, Su Mengyan breathed a sigh of relief, then used transmission to tell Li Meng everything that had transpired.

As a disciple of the Joyful Union Sect, Su Mengyan was not like other innocent girls who would be shy when talking about the union of men and women. Instead, she spoke about it openly.

Hearing about the Nine-Colored Other Shore Flower, Li Meng was overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, just as the information had said, there truly was a Tribulation Crossing Realm cultivator who had died sitting in the tomb mansion.

Mengyan obtained the Nine-Colored Other Shore Flower, which would be greatly beneficial to her.

The Nine-Colored Other Shore Flower inherently had the effect of improving one’s constitution, and with Su Mengyan possessing the Nine Yin Divine Body, the help from the Nine-Colored Other Shore Flower could fully unleash the potential of the Nine Yin Divine Body.

Moreover, the energy of the Nine-Colored Other Shore Flower could allow her to break through to the Void Realm.

By then, she would have considerable confidence in the upcoming Saintess competition.

As one of the Elders supporting Su Mengyan, Li Meng truly felt happy for her increased strength.

But upon hearing the latter part— knowing her purity was taken by the man in front of her, and half of the Nine-Colored Other Shore Flower’s energy was also taken by him—

Li Meng’s expression also darkened.

As the Saintess of the Joyful Union Sect, to maximize benefits, her man, even if not the owner of an Immortal Body, should at least be of the bloodline of the member of a top-tier force.

This would enhance Su Mengyan’s strength even further.

But now, Su Mengyan’s Primordial Yin was taken by an obscure boy.

This was a disgrace to the Joyful Union Sect.

If other saintesses learned of this, they would certainly use it as a topic to ridicule Su Mengyan.

"Boy, who exactly are you?" Li Meng glared at Chen Mo.

This boy had not shown his true face earlier.

"What’s wrong?" Zuoqiu Yiren sensed something amiss, and seeing Su Mengyan’s condition of losing her Primordial Yin, obviously something significant had happened, so she quickly used transmission to inquire from Chen Mo.

Chen Mo felt somewhat embarrassed.

After all, she had repeatedly warned him not to touch Su Mengyan before.

But now, everything he shouldn’t do, he had ended up doing.

Even though it wasn’t his intention, he was forced.

Still, speaking about it felt kind of odd.

Yet this matter clearly couldn’t be concealed, so after a brief hesitation, Chen Mo also used transmission to explain to Zuoqiu Yiren.

"You... Didn’t I tell you not to touch her?" After hearing, Zuoqiu Yiren’s eyes widened. Without using transmission, she couldn’t help but exclaimed out loud.

Upon hearing this, Su Mengyan’s face darkened. From these words, she sensed Zuoqiu Yiren’s growing disdain towards her.

And that man earlier, as well.

"I didn’t do it intentionally. It was the tomb’s owner who said he wanted to play matchmaker and forced me to do it with her. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have touched her at all and would have already left here with the Nine-Colored Other Shore Flower." Chen Mo quickly explained, without using transmission either.

Hearing this, Su Mengyan got somewhat angry.

Who do you think you are?

I haven’t even expressed disdain for you.

And yet you despise me...

Su Mengyan directly spoke, "Don’t pretend to suffer after taking advantage. I am the Nine Yin Divine Body; my Primordial Yin remains, so you should be thankful and quietly rejoice instead of showing disdain."

Li Meng echoed sentiments similar to Su Mengyan’s.

However, before Chen Mo could speak.

Zuoqiu Yiren revealed her true self, standing up for Chen Mo: "Who really took advantage here? My Little Mo has the Three Immortal Body as verified by the Daoist Alliance. At that time, the sect leaders, elders, and representatives of various Immortal Dao sects personally witnessed it.

Although Su Mengyan has the Nine Yin Divine Body, she pales in comparison to Little Mo..."

Zuoqiu Yiren didn’t know why, but upon hearing people saying these things about Chen Mo, her first reaction was to stand up for him.

"Zuoqiu Fairy..." Li Meng, although unfamiliar with Chen Mo and having never met him before, recognized Zuoqiu Yiren.

Previously, the two had interacted more than once.

Since she’s Zuoqiu Yiren,

surely the Little Mo she’s referring to must be Chen Mo, the owner of the Three Immortal Body causing recent uproar in the Daoist Alliance...

Li Meng’s expression turned a bit blank.

Apart from surprise, there was a sense of excitement akin to finding a pie falling from the sky.

Three Immortal Body!

Previously, Elder Shen Lan had spoken to her.

Should Mengyan choose a Dao Companion in the future,

Chen Mo was undoubtedly the most suitable choice.

Moreover, Elder Shen had also mentioned at the time that Chen Mo’s appearance was outstanding, ranking among the top three even against the prodigies from other Immortal Dao sects.

The anger and grievance in Li Meng’s heart vanished into smoke at this moment.

She felt like the madam of a brothel, discovering that the beggar before her was actually a Crown Prince who had wandered into the populace.

She beamed warmly, "So it’s Zaokiu Fairy and young friend Chen Mo. It’s a misunderstanding, all of it is a misunderstanding. If Zaokiu Fairy had clarified identities earlier, none of this would’ve happened. I’ll let Zaokiu Fairy have the ring."

After learning about their identities, Li Meng no longer contested the black ring obtained by Zuoqiu Yiren.

"Misunderstanding, you call this a misunderstanding. I gained the ring with my own skill; do I require your concession?" Zuoqiu Yiren showed no friendly face to Li Meng.

Yet Li Meng, having already gained substantial benefit, wasn’t angered by Zuoqiu Yiren’s words but continued to greet with a smile, apologizing instead, "Please calm down, Zaokiu Fairy. It’s all my fault for failing to recognize Mount Tai."

This wasn’t a one-time transaction.

For Li Meng, Chen Mo was now Su Mengyan’s benefactor, their top supporter.

While their dual cultivation allowed mutual enhancement, the outcome undoubtedly favored Su Mengyan.

Hence, Li Meng certainly had to maintain the relationship well.

If the relationship went sour,

leading Chen Mo to turn away from Mengyan,

the greatest loss would surely be Su Mengyan’s.

Su Mengyan at the moment wore a varied expression, her eyes wide as if she was covered in mud and suddenly a heavy rain fell, washing off all the mud on her body.
