Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

Lin Mo only felt the scene before him shift, the barren rocks and desolate mountain walls around him vanished, replaced by a lush green valley with shimmering waters, blooming wildflowers, like Tao Yuanming’s paradise.

”Sure enough, there’s more than meets the eye!”

Lin Mo’s lips curled into a faint smile, as he opened his arms and took a deep breath of the fresh air.

As for the Xuanyuan Sword behind him, Lin Mo did not retract it, but carried it on his back. Previously, keeping it inside his body was due to the fact that walking around with a sword might be seen as madness.

However, in this deserted area, Lin Mo did not need to retract it into his body.

”The Spiritual Energy here is abundant, could it be that the place guarded by the Earth Dragon Beast is here?”

Lin Mo leapt into the air, his invisible Divine Thought stretched out like strands of spider silk, continually probing the surroundings. The valley wasn’t very large, with the longest diameter about ten kilometers, surrounded by mountains with a small lake nestled in the center.

Butterflies, bees, and gentle deer drank by the lakeside, while some clever rabbits darted into the forest.

”There are no Fierce Beasts?”

Lin Mo was somewhat surprised, and then quickly flew forward.

A moment later, he landed at the peak of a mountain, which was not high, with an elevation of only four to five hundred meters.

”A cave?”

Upon closer inspection, beside the rocky peak there was indeed a cave. Atop the cave was a long stone plaque, engraved with strange runes. Though unfamiliar with the writing, through Divine Thought’s probing, he instantly understood its meaning, Zi Sang Taoist’s cave.

Lin Mo pondered silently, the Earth Dragon Beast outside, and those Array Barriers, were likely left by this Zi Sang Taoist.

Moreover, outside the cave, there were faint fluctuations of Spiritual Energy, with five layers of arrays arranged outside.

Defense, Attack, Illusion Technique, trapping array... Gathering Energy...

Lin Mo gently extended his index finger forward, as if touching a calm lake, ripples spread out in concentric circles.

It was unknown how long these arrays had been arranged, nothing can withstand the ravages of time; the arrays were already dilapidated, combined with Lin Mo’s external force, all of them dissipated in an instant.

Lin Mo drew the Xuanyuan Sword from behind, holding it in his hand, his face showing no signs of relaxation, who knows what he might encounter here!

Crackle!

Pushing open the heavy stone doors, a dark cave appeared in Lin Mo’s view. With a thought, two clusters of purple flames floated atop his shoulders, faintly illuminating the entire Stone Chamber.

The cold uneven stone walls, as his palm touched, transmitted a slight chill into his palm.

The Stone Chamber was about a hundred and fifty square meters, inside were various stone tables and chairs, along with dusty tea sets.

”Such fragrance!”

Yet the entire Stone Chamber was enveloped in a faint aroma, causing one’s mind to tremble.

The sound of footsteps... echoing in the empty Stone Chamber...

Lin Mo walked towards the interior; his footsteps echoed off the empty Stone Chamber walls.

Inside the Stone Mansion, a skeletal figure sat cross-legged upon a stone bed, already deceased, a faint golden light flowing across the bones.

”Zi Sang Taoist?”

Lin Mo blinked, the person had already passed away, the bones showing golden light, evidently having reached the Condensation Great Perfection Realm, a step away from the Golden Core Stage.

But alas, he did not break through, eventually exhausting his Life Span and passing away in the cave.

Witnessing this, Lin Mo felt somewhat touched, the vastness of the Cultivation World with strong figures aplenty, even those at the pinnacle of the stars eventually become mere dust, disappearing in the river of time.

Lin Mo slightly bowed to the figure sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, out of courtesy.

After all, he was intruding into someone else’s cave.

A moment later, Lin Mo approached a stone shelf carved into the stone wall beside him, taking out a book, and with a brief sweep of his Divine Thought, found it contained Cultivation insights, including experiences in forging Magic Treasures and arranging formations, as well as a book that amounted to a biography of Zi Sang Taoist.

”Hmm?”

Lin Mo scanned the autobiography, shaking his head. This Zi Sang Taoist turned out to be a prince from an ancient small kingdom, and having lamented the impermanence of years, the change of life and death, he sought the truth of life, renouncing his claim to the throne and family, venturing alone to seek fortune, only to serendipitously become a disciple to a Taoist and embark on the path of Cultivation.

Sang Taoist’s aptitude was not exceptional, and he met with little success in the path of Cultivation, eventually retreating here to meditate, failing to break through his Life Span and passing away.

”Cultivation is defying the heavens, mastering fate, surveying the vastness... the world is in subjugation!”

Suddenly, Lin Mo’s pupils shot out two beams of energy, sweeping away the emotions fogging his mind, replaced by a fiercely burning fighting spirit.

Almost swayed by Zi Sang Taoist’s influence, the path of Cultivation is exceedingly difficult, and it’s easy to feel discouraged by others’ failures, thankfully Lin Mo’s resolve was firm, and he quickly solidified his Dao Heart.

Setting aside the book, Lin Mo turned his gaze to a stone door on the left.

It was the stone door inside the Stone Chamber, about two meters wide and one meter tall, engraved with ancient runes that faintly glowed.

”The fragrance comes from within here.” Lin Mo approached the stone door, gathering Spiritual Energy in both palms, covering the stone door.

Lin Mo was like a master locksmith, and this stone door was nothing more than the simplest quantum lock, easily breaking the mechanisms.

Then, with a hand suction gesture, the stone door slowly opened.

The scent that hit him made Lin Mo even more delighted.

With such fragrance, there must be strange treasure.

The inside of the stone door was pitch black, but some distant purple glows were vaguely visible, Lin Mo formed several spells in his hand, placing a Fireball directly on the stone wall, illuminating the interior clearly.

Inside was a rectangular pool, flowing with green liquid, somewhat sticky, about two meters long and one meter wide.

At the center of the pool stood a thirty centimeters high purple plant, spreading bits of purple light specks around it, dreamlike, akin to the Immortal Herbs from fairy tales.

”This is the Six Ren Buddha Flower.”

Lin Mo’s eyes shot two beams of sparkles, his heart stirred as if a thousand waves surged.

The mysterious fragrance he sensed earlier was emanating from this Six Ren Buddha Flower, intoxicating, dreamy, calming one’s mind instantly.

The viscous liquid flowing in the pool was pressed from the leaves of some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the rim of the pool also had several strange arrays.

Six Ren Buddha Flower, Mystic-grade Ninth-class Super Divine Medicine, Lin Mo had seen it before. A Mystic-grade First-grade treasure starts at a price of at least ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, considering different treasures, the Six Ren Buddha Flower if Mystic-grade First-grade requires at least thirty thousand Spirit Stones, while Mystic-grade Ninth-class is considered priceless, with the starting price at five million top-grade Spirit Stones.
