Chapter 7: Exposed

Chen Mo kept Kun Peng's wings and opened his status panel.

[Name: Chen Mo]

[Race: Human]

[Cultivation: 1-star Dou Shi]

[Host level: lv1 (29/100)]

[Bound goddess: Zi Yu Di, favorability (29). When favorability reaches 100, you can become dao companions with her.]

[Cultivation Method: Supreme Primordial Chaos Technique]

[Skill: Kun Peng's wings (Can be advanced)]

[Bloodline: Normal]

[Favorability coins: 6]

Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat. Her favorability had already reached 29, and it had only been a day. At this rate, he would probably be able to embrace the beauty in a few days.

Chen Mo looked at his backpack again. There were still two moments of enlightenment left.

Since he couldn't start a fire during the day, Chen Mo began cultivating after eating sashimi with Zi Yu Di in the morning.

Chen Mo closed his eyes and entered a meditative state. His consciousness immersed itself in the God-level cultivation method, the Supreme Primordial Chaos Technique. This method was derived from the Sage's observation of chaos. It could turn a person into the moon in the water. The moon was in the sky, and there was a shadow in the water. Although it could be seen, there was nowhere to touch it. Once this cultivation method was mastered, no one would be able to control it. Every thought and action contained the philosophy of heaven and earth.

This cultivation method was divided into nine levels. Chen Mo began to cultivate according to the first level of the chant. In his lower abdomen, the cyclone spun rapidly. The surrounding Dou Qi flowed with the cyclone and rushed into Chen Mo's body. It passed through his meridians and merged with the cyclone.

After a dozen or so cycles, it was already afternoon. Chen Mo suddenly opened his eyes.

"Are you done with your cultivation?" Zi Yu Di, who was drawing circles on the ground with a tree branch out of boredom, saw Chen Mo finally moving. She immediately stood up and said excitedly.

"Not yet," Chen Mo replied.

"Oh." Zi Yu Di pouted and sat down in disappointment.

He was stuck. If Chen Mo's cyclone was a water tank, the Dou Qi he absorbed was equivalent to a ladle of water. This cultivation speed was too fast.

Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh at how powerful the Supreme Primordial Chaos Technique was. Only a few hours had passed. But if he cultivated too quickly, he would naturally be stuck.

Based on his knowledge from reading thousands of Xuanhuan novels, he roughly understood that he had reached a bottleneck. How long had it been since he had broken through to a one-star Dou Shi? Was he about to break through again? According to the experience from the novels, if one wanted to break through the bottleneck, one needed talent and background resources. These two were easy to understand. Apart from that, there was another type, and that was enlightenment. Sudden enlightenment was a situation that could only be chanced upon by luck, relying entirely on one's fortune.

But that was for ordinary people. Chen Mo was a cheater. Chen Mo hurriedly extracted the time it took for an incense stick to burn. In an instant, a strange feeling descended from the sky. His mind became unprecedentedly empty as countless "spiritual lights" flashed crazily in his mind. It was like an open canal, waiting for the water to flow through.

Without needing to deliberately cultivate, the Supreme Primordial Chaos Technique had already begun to circulate in his body. The slowly flowing Dou Qi in the surroundings was like a stream, gushing into Chen Mo's body. He was only a one-star Dou Shi, and the Dou Qi in his body couldn't be considered dense. But at this moment, it felt like a raging river, flowing endlessly and growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, incomparably dense Heaven and Earth Energy suddenly surged into the canyon. If there was a Dou Huang here, they would definitely be able to sense that such dense Heaven and Earth Energy was something that even a Dou Ling wouldn't be able to achieve.

It was dangerous. Chen Mo's face darkened. He never expected the Supreme Primordial Chaos Technique to be so powerful. Just the first layer caused his body to become like a black hole, continuously devouring the surrounding Heaven and Earth Energy. Such a huge commotion would definitely attract the attention of those who were looking for Zi Yu Di.

Looks like I have to speed up. Chen Mo circulated the first layer of the Supreme Primordial Chaos Technique to its limit.

Time trickled by.

In the distance, a middle-aged man who was searching for the Snake Lady in the portrait suddenly turned his gaze to a canyon not too far away from him. There, Heaven and Earth Energy surged into the canyon. The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows, kept the portrait, and ran toward the canyon. At the same time, another small group noticed this strange phenomenon.

"Soon, soon, it's coming!" Even though Chen Mo had already circulated the Supreme Primordial Chaos Technique to its limit, he still subconsciously pushed it to its limit. A moment later, Chen Mo seemed to hear a soft sound coming from his body, as though something had been pierced. The Dou Qi that was originally restrained began to surge like a broken dam. However, the amount of Dou Qi that the vortex could contain was larger than before. Just like that, he became a two-star Dou Shi. The bottleneck that a normal cultivator would face was reduced to mere decoration in an instant.

"You… what are you doing?" Zi Yu Di's body was suddenly lifted up by Chen Mo. Before her head could react, she had already fallen into Chen Mo's embrace. In particular, her buttocks and armpits were being held tightly by him. This caused Zi Yu Di to be extremely flustered, and her heartbeat involuntarily quickened. Zi Yu Di's tail was very long, so Chen Mo could only carry her in a princess carry.

[Ding! Favorability + 1. Obtained 1 Favorability coin. Triggered intimacy bonus. Obtained Middle Yellow Rank Dou Technique — Mysterious Thunder Palm.]

"???"

Chen Mo did not have time to be puzzled and said to Zi Yu Di, "Let's go, this position is exposed." After saying that, he sped up and rushed out of the canyon.

"Brat, put down that Snake Lady for me," a rough voice sounded from not far away.

Zi Yu Di's expression changed. They were coming for her again.

"Boom!" A pair of half-meter-long golden wings shot out from Chen Mo's back. Without hesitation, Chen Mo carried Zi Yu Di and soared into the sky. Although the flight was a little shaky, he could not care less. According to the system notification, that person was a Da Dou Shi, and Chen Mo was not his opponent.

"Dou Wang? Senior, please spare my life. I have eyes," the middle-aged man was so scared that he knelt down and begged for mercy. Seeing that there was no response, the middle-aged man raised his head and saw that Chen Mo and the rest were no longer there. The middle-aged man was stunned and immediately reacted. He understood that it was not some Dou Wang, but a rare flying Dou Technique.

"Damn, you dare to trick me!" The middle-aged man was furious as he chased after them.

In the yellow sand, a small mercenary group was heading towards the canyon. Suddenly, a piercing sound came from above. One of the mercenaries exclaimed, "Boss, there's someone in the sky."

"It's the Snake Lady in the portrait," another mercenary said, recognizing that it was the person they were looking for.

"It really is that Snake Lady!" The leader of the mercenary group, a man around thirty years old with a four-star Dou Shi cultivation, spoke up.

"Dou Qi Wings! Boss, what should we do? That person seems to be a Dou Wang."

"No, that's not Dou Qi Wings. Quickly, release the arrows!"
