Chapter 426 Regret
When Taiyou, the Holy Maiden of Taiyi Sect, entered and saw the composed Mo Mo, she revealed an expression of "I knew it." When she heard Mo Mo's voice, she was certain that she had not mistaken the female disciple in her sect.
Actually, she was just trying her luck. Although she was a saintess of a sect and knew a lot about the forbidden area, she had never seen anyone from there. At most, she only knew bits and pieces of information from ancient books. So when she heard that the disciples of her sect had seen someone who looked like the person they had met on their journey, she did not hesitate to use this excuse to visit him. And she succeeded.
To her slight disappointment, neither Mo Mo nor Wang Hao seemed to possess any extraordinary abilities, such as having three heads and six arms. However, she didn't show her disappointment on her face. Instead, she revealed a rather delighted expression and said to Mo Mo with a smile, "I originally thought my junior sister had misread it, but it turns out it's true. I never imagined that our hasty farewell would lead to our reunion. You can't refuse me this time. Let's get acquainted. Taiyi Sect, Taiyou."
Mo Mo smiled slightly upon seeing this and said, "I am Mo Mo, a wandering scholar."
Upon hearing Mo Mo's introduction, Tai You's beautiful eyes lit up, and she said in surprise, "Young Master Mo seems to have an extraordinary demeanor. Although I don't know your specific strength, I imagine it must be quite impressive. You should be one of the top among your peers. How could you be a mere rogue?"
Mo Mo smiled slightly at her but did not answer. Tai You was slightly taken aback, smiled, and did not press the matter. Just then, Wang Hao smiled and asked Tai You, "Miss, I wonder how you two met? From your conversation, you two don't seem to know each other very well."
Their acquaintance wasn't anything shameful, so Taiyou directly recounted what had happened that day. However, when he heard that Momo had gone to the Imperial Domain after Taiyou and Momo parted ways, his pupils constricted. He knew the affairs of the Imperial Domain better than anyone, yet now someone had gone there and was still alive and kicking in front of him. His first reaction was that Taiyou was lying, but he quickly dismissed that idea. Judging from their previous interactions, the two weren't very close, and could even be considered strangers. This Holy Maiden of the Taiyi Sect had no reason to lie to him. But now Mo Mo was indeed standing in front of him. After thinking it over, he finally came to the conclusion that there was only one possibility: Mo Mo had quickly taken a detour and left after parting ways with the Holy Maiden of the Taiyi Sect. The reason for doing so was simple in his opinion: to increase his importance in the Holy Maiden's heart so that he could receive enough attention after joining the Taiyi Sect. Only this reason made sense. However, what he didn't know was that Mo Mo had indeed crossed the Imperial Domain, and he had even caused a minor disturbance there, although the disturbance quickly subsided.
Speaking of the incident, we must mention the time when a holy son of a certain sect tried to forcibly take Little Fox and her companions. At that time, Mo Mo not only rescued Little Fox and her companions but also killed the two people involved. However, after two days of investigation, the matter was dropped. After all, the area is a mixed bag, and no one knows how much effort the other party has invested or what backup plans they have. Therefore, it is quite normal for them to be secretly eliminated by their rivals.
Moreover, even if they wanted to investigate, they couldn't, because there were no clues at the scene. Although some people saw the two forcibly taking the little fox, Chu Jian and Chu Chen, who were with the little fox and the others, were currently in Wang Hao's wooden house. Wang Hao represented the Imperial Domain, a place that even the current emperor was unwilling to mention. Therefore, they naturally wouldn't say anything, and the matter was left unresolved.
Meanwhile, inside the wooden house, Mo Mo and the other two were chatting happily when Wang Hao suddenly told Tai You the purpose of Mo Mo's trip and also brought up the matter of Chu Jian and Chu Chen. With Tai You's help, he completely confirmed the matter. Now, unless Chu Jian and Chu Chen regretted it themselves, Mo Mo could not take the two away from him. This made Mo Mo smile inwardly, because Wang Hao's actions were like a child who was afraid that his candy would be taken away, so he held up the candy to declare his ownership to others.
However, Wang Hao's worries were completely unnecessary, even redundant. Mo Mo didn't care, though. After all, if a child did that in front of you, would a mature adult hold it against him? I think most people wouldn't. Of course, maybe a few might tease him, but Mo Mo wouldn't be so bored. Most importantly, Mo Mo wasn't familiar with him. Seeing Mo Mo's indifference, as if he had tacitly agreed, Wang Hao's lips curled into a smug smile. He then said, "Brother Mo, what is it that you want to take back? As long as it's really with me, I will definitely return it."
"That thing was stored here for me by one of my brothers a long time ago. It's something very important to me. I thought he would be able to keep it safe with his methods, but when I woke up this morning, I found that you, Brother Wang Hao, had taken it first. So I came here to get it back." Recalling that thrilling attack, Mo Mo was a little lost in thought. If it weren't for the immortal cauldron blocking it, the grass on his grave would probably be three feet high. However, he only paused for a moment before returning to normal. Mo Mo's words made Wang Hao's heart skip a beat. He suddenly had a bad feeling, but the words had already been spoken, and it was too late to take them back. However, he still held onto a sliver of hope.
However, Mo Mo's next actions made him feel increasingly uneasy. When Mo Mo stopped in front of the dilapidated cauldron in the inner room, his heart jumped into his throat. He secretly communicated with the system on his body. The moment Mo Mo stopped in front of the cauldron, he knew that this matter could no longer be kept secret. Although he did not know how Mo Mo found out, he would never easily give up this cauldron, even if it meant using his last resort.
He had spent nearly a billion points on this cauldron, enough to buy a hundred top-grade, ten-thousand-year-old medicinal herbs. This simple, three-legged, two-eared, lidded round cauldron was priced at a staggering 100 billion points – enough to propel him from Saint to Emperor! How could he not go mad? He had risked his life countless times, traversing so many worlds to reach his current level, and even then, the total points he had accumulated since obtaining the system were only three or four hundred billion. Now, a mere simple, unadorned cauldron was worth two or three times what he had previously earned. How could he let Mo Mo take it away?
Oops, I forgot to post it at noon. I'll post it together now that I've finished writing both chapters.

Chapter 427 Turning Against Each Other
However, after a moment's thought, Wang Hao made a decision. At this moment, his gaze toward Mo Mo was filled with determination. Even if it meant openly turning against Mo Mo, he was willing to do it. Although Mo Mo had granted their wish, their relationship had long been settled. In the face of such benefits, that little bit of gratitude was nothing.
Wang Hao's changes naturally did not escape Mo Mo's notice, but he didn't care. After all, would an elephant care about the hostility of an ant at its feet? Of course not. Moreover, he was in the right, with both force and morality on his side. Why should he care about Wang Hao's feelings? Strictly speaking, Wang Hao was now the thief, and it was already quite generous of Mo Mo not to pursue the theft of the Immortal Cauldron.
"He's only standing in front of that cauldron right now, so there might still be room for maneuver. After all, he hasn't made his choice yet, has he? Maybe he's just curious." Wang Hao thought to himself. He still held onto a sliver of hope. After all, while his trump card was powerful, the price to pay for using it was also considerable. He only had enough points left for one more use, and he didn't want to waste them. Most importantly, this was his last chance to use his trump card this year. Once it was used, it was gone, and he would have to wait until next year. But only three months of the year had passed, so he was extremely reluctant to use it.
However, Mo Mo's next words shattered his illusions. Mo Mo looked at the large cauldron in front of him and said softly, "This is what I want to reclaim."
Wang Hao's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Mo Mo, took a deep breath, and said in a seemingly casual tone, "Brother Mo, you're joking. I won this from a friend in the Imperial Domain through a bet. It's quite a memento, and the cracks on the cauldron are rather interesting, so I put it here for decoration. Besides, it's been there for quite a few years. How could it possibly be yours? Brother Mo, are you mistaken?" Wang Hao didn't immediately turn hostile. He wanted to test whether Mo Mo had really figured something out. If it was just a casual remark, Mo Mo's reputation from the Imperial Domain would likely overshadow it, and although he would be annoyed, he would probably change his tune. However, Mo Mo firmly shook his head, which instantly made Wang Hao's expression turn unfriendly. Nevertheless, he patiently reminded Mo Mo to choose another one, but Mo Mo stated that it was his.
"Brother Mo, I appreciate your generosity, but don't push your luck. This thing may not be worth much, but it holds great sentimental value for me. I'm letting it slide for Chu Chen and the others' sake, but you're not welcome here. Please leave immediately." Wang Hao's words were utterly blunt, a complete breakdown in relations. Tai You, standing to the side, was also somewhat taken aback; she hadn't expected things to turn out this way so quickly.
“I’ll leave once I’ve taken it. Besides, you should know better than me how I got this thing; it never belonged to you.” Since Wang Hao had already thrown caution to the wind, Mo Mo didn’t continue arguing with him and directly revealed the origin of the immortal cauldron. This made Wang Hao’s pupils shrink. Meanwhile, the sound of a teacup shattering echoed from another room. It was Chu Jian and Chu Chen who had accidentally broken the teacup in their shock. At this moment, only Tai You, the Holy Maiden of the Taiyi Sect, was still confused in the wooden house. However, she had already sensed that something was wrong; she seemed to have been drawn into something terrible.
Wang Hao was no ordinary person. Although he was somewhat shocked that Mo Mo had seen through his secret, he quickly recovered. He took a deep breath and then said indifferently, "I obtained this thing through my own abilities. Now that it's in my hands, it's mine. What right do you have to ask me for it? And what gives you the right to ask me for it? Are you the benefactor who helped me and Chu Chen? Or do you think I'm afraid this matter will be exposed, so I'll swallow my pride and give you a share?"
Looking at the aggressive Wang Hao, a hint of pity flashed in Mo Mo's eyes. Judging from his strong reaction, breaking the formation protecting the Immortal Cauldron must have cost him a lot. Moreover, the system within him probably knew the value of the Immortal Cauldron, otherwise Wang Hao wouldn't have lost his composure like this. However, the system certainly didn't tell him that the Immortal Cauldron actually had an owner. Perhaps the system within him didn't know either, or perhaps it knew but didn't care, thinking that with their strength and speed, they could easily get their hands on it. But whatever the reason, this time Wang Hao was destined to be tricked by the system and lose everything.
The fleeting hint of pity in Mo Mo's eyes was completely missed by Wang Hao, who was still furious. Seeing Mo Mo's silence, Wang Hao assumed that Mo Mo was feeling guilty, so he took the opportunity to speak softly: "Brother Mo, there are some things that you are not allowed to touch. However, I am not a heartless person. How about this, after this matter at the Emperor's Tomb is over, I will give you a few King of Herbs and ten catties of Divine Source as compensation, how about that?"
Wang Hao was very skilled at using the tactic of giving a stick and then offering a sweet treat. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have given in because of Wang Hao's powerful background. Unfortunately, his opponent today was Mo Mo, and even now he still thought that Mo Mo was just an ordinary native with decent strength. He didn't realize at all that he was facing an ancient divine dragon, and in the other party's eyes, he was just an ant that could be crushed at will.
Although Mo Mo had a good temper, he was unwilling to argue with Wang Hao anymore. He had completely realized that Wang Hao was now blinded by the huge profits in front of him, and no matter what he said, the other party would not give in. So he raised his right hand and touched the immortal cauldron in front of him.
Seeing Mo Mo's actions, Wang Hao's pupils shrank, and a powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body, directly blasting Tai You out of the house. At the same time, Wang Hao attacked Mo Mo's outstretched hand with one hand and knocked it away with the other hand on the Immortal Cauldron.
Mo Mo frowned upon seeing this, withdrew his hand to dodge Wang Hao's attack, and looked at Wang Hao, who was blocking the middle of the Immortal Cauldron, with a frown. At this moment, Chu Chen and Chu Jian, who were hiding in another room, could not help but come in and stand between Mo Mo and Wang Hao.
A flicker of hesitation crossed the faces of the two as they watched Mo Mo and Wang Hao confront each other, but their resolve quickly hardened. Chu Chen then took a step toward Mo Mo, saying with a look of shame, "Young Master, Chu Chen and Chu Jian will never forget your great kindness. However, this cauldron was obtained by Wang Hao after countless hardships and with all his might. We have nothing left now, and this is our hope for the future. Chu Chen begs Young Master to spare us. We will repay your great kindness in the future." Upon hearing this, Chu Jian also stepped forward to stand beside Chu Chen, expressing her determination to Mo Mo.
Mo Mo smiled wryly at this. Although he had never truly valued the two of them, their behavior still displeased him. From their perspective, their actions were correct, but that was based on the premise that the Immortal Cauldron did not belong to Mo Mo. Even if the Immortal Cauldron did not belong to Mo Mo, their actions, while reasonable, were somewhat heartless. This made Mo Mo completely abandon the idea of helping them. Since they no longer appreciated his kindness, why should he bother with it? At this moment, Chu Chen and the two of them were unaware of the enormous opportunity they had missed.
Just then, a figure flashed beside Mo Mo. A beautiful woman in a black dress, holding a chicken leg, suddenly appeared next to Mo Mo. After glancing at the scene, she suddenly pointed at Mo Mo and laughed loudly, completely disregarding her manners.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 428 Resurgence
The sudden appearance of the figure startled Wang Hao, but the other person's next actions left him completely baffled. After glancing at them, the person pointed at Mo Mo and burst into laughter. What surprised him most was that the person was holding a fragrant chicken leg, the aroma of which he could smell even from this distance. However, what surprised him was the somewhat embarrassed expressions on Chu Chen and Chu Jian's faces when they saw this woman, suggesting that they knew each other. What happened next fully confirmed his guess.
The beautiful woman in the black dress pointed at Mo Mo and laughed for a while, then suddenly her expression turned serious and she said solemnly, "I won't tell anyone about what happened today, except for two meals a day plus an extra big meal once a week."
Mo Mo was speechless as he watched the little black dragon, who was seriously trying to extort money from him. However, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree. He was certain that if he didn't comply with the little black dragon's request, he would hear an embellished version of what happened the next day from the little foxes. It would be a well-reasoned and plausible version that he would be unable to explain away even if he had a hundred mouths.
After getting what he wanted, the little black dragon released Mo Mo and turned to look at Chu Jian and Chu Chen, who were looking embarrassed. Just when the two thought the little black dragon would mock them, he simply gave them a strange look, shook his head with regret, and returned to Mo Mo's side to seriously deal with the chicken leg in his hand, ignoring them. Meanwhile, Wang Hao behind them was on high alert because his system told him that this unreliable beauty was actually a master at the Great Emperor level, and clearly Mo Mo's accomplice. This shocked him and forced him to use his last trump card.
With a silent thought, the number representing his remaining points projected into his mind rapidly changed. In the blink of an eye, the long string of numbers changed from nine digits to five digits. This was the reason he was unwilling to use his trump card, because each use of a trump card consumed hundreds of millions of points. Although he could summon other helpers, you get what you pay for. Summoning an Emperor-level expert would require at least one hundred million points, and the one he had summoned now cost one hundred and thirty million. This helper was also the strongest person he could find; the others might not even be as strong as him.
However, there was nothing he could do, no matter how much it hurt. The points had already been spent, and there was no use in regretting it. Moreover, he wouldn't regret it. As long as he took down this old cauldron, he wouldn't have to worry about points for a long time. So what he was most worried about now was whether the helpers he had summoned could defeat the opponent. So while summoning helpers, he had already quietly moved to the side of the immortal cauldron. At this moment, Mo Mo raised an eyebrow and looked at the empty space in the room, where a spatial passage was rapidly forming.
In the blink of an eye, a spatial passage nearly as tall as a person had formed where Mo Mo was looking. The little black dragon, who had been eating a chicken leg, put down her chicken leg and looked at the spatial passage that was about to be fully formed. She sensed a powerful aura from there that was almost as strong as her own.
The spatial passage took a very short time to fully form, less than two seconds. Before Chu Jian and Chu Chen could react, another person had already entered the room. It was a dignified middle-aged man. The man was tall, nearly 1.9 meters, and the black dragon robe he wore made him look even more majestic. As soon as he appeared, he immediately came to Wang Hao's side, and then took the opportunity to protect Chu Jian and Chu Chen behind him.
The arrival of this figure instantly bolstered Wang Hao's confidence. Standing behind the middle-aged man, he smiled and said to Mo Mo, "Although I don't know where you found such an expert, you're still a bit short if you want to snatch this item from me. Now you can leave; you're not welcome here."
"An Emperor-level expert? I didn't expect you to have such a trump card. But that's not enough. I can take on three weaklings like this by myself." The little black dragon bit off the last piece of meat from the chicken leg, casually threw away the bone in her hand, clapped her hands, and said with a disdainful look.
Wang Hao was a proud man, and now that he was being looked down upon by the little black dragon, even though he had great self-control, a nameless fire surged in his heart in an instant. However, just as he was about to retort with a sarcastic remark, the middle-aged man beside him stopped him and said with a solemn expression, "I am indeed no match for her, but the gap is not as big as she said. If I had a good weapon, it would not be impossible for me to win."
The little black dragon curled her lip in disdain upon hearing this. Her true form was a black dragon, and the dragon race was among the most powerful races in terms of sheer physical strength. Besides, having followed Mo Mo for so long, it would be a joke if she didn't have a few handy weapons. Therefore, although she hadn't experienced many real life-or-death battles, if a fight really broke out, she could directly use weapons and magical treasures to make him question his existence.
Of course, Wang Hao and the others were unaware of these things. When Wang Hao heard the middle-aged man say that as long as he had a good weapon, he was confident of winning the battle, his eyes lit up and he looked at the large cauldron beside him with burning eyes. The middle-aged man, as an Emperor-level expert, naturally noticed the abnormality of the cauldron. Now that he saw Wang Hao's abnormality, he knew how extraordinary the cauldron was. So he protected Wang Hao behind him and reached out to press down on the simple and unadorned cauldron that was full of cracks.
However, to the surprise of Wang Hao and the middle-aged man, the little black dragon and Mo Mo remained unmoved despite their obvious actions. Moreover, Wang Hao, who was hiding behind the middle-aged man, felt that the little black dragon's gaze was a bit strange, as if it were looking at a group of idiots. Although he didn't want to admit it, that was his feeling.
On the field, the originally simple and unadorned cauldron gradually began to change as the middle-aged emperor continuously poured his power into it. The cauldron slowly began to emit wisps of light, and as the emperor poured in more and more power, the light grew brighter and brighter. As the light grew brighter, the cauldron also trembled slightly, finally hovering above the emperor's head. At this moment, the cauldron shook gently, and the entire wooden house silently turned into dust and scattered in the wind. This shaking seemed to be a signal, and bursts of light erupted in the circular camp in an instant. Powerful weapons were autonomously reviving. However, what was shocking was that these revived weapons, like subjects of an emperor, all submitted to the cauldron above the middle-aged emperor's head.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 429 Stunned
Wang Hao was stunned at first, then burst into wild laughter, because he saw that among the surrendered weapons were several imperial weapons. This made him realize that he had really struck gold this time. The middle-aged emperor was even more shocked than Wang Hao, because he discovered that this was actually a celestial artifact. He believed that as long as he could study this celestial cauldron for a period of time, his strength would definitely improve further.
However, he quickly recovered from his shock, because in just two or three seconds, the power in his body had been consumed by the immortal cauldron by nearly half. This forced him to give up the idea of comprehending the mysteries within the immortal cauldron. He had to finish off the two people opposite him quickly, so he hurriedly activated the power of the immortal cauldron to suppress Mo Mo and the little black dragon.
However, at that moment, something terrifying happened. The Immortal Cauldron actually dispersed the power he was outputting, and when he issued the order to suppress the two people opposite him, a force surged out from the Immortal Cauldron and directly blasted him away. Moreover, in the instant he was blasted away, he seemed to feel the Immortal Cauldron's disgust and disdain for him, which filled his heart with bewilderment.
It sounds like a long story, but in reality, it happened in the blink of an eye. Wang Hao, who thought the situation was settled, laughed wildly. However, before his laughter had even subsided, the middle-aged emperor in front of him, who had been full of confidence, suddenly changed his expression and was sent flying backward, spitting out blood. This sudden scene made Wang Hao's smile freeze instantly. However, before he could react, the immortal cauldron he had placed so much hope in flew towards Mo Mo like a swallow returning to its nest, and began to spin wildly around Mo Mo. Mo Mo's next words left him completely dumbfounded.
"Old friend, how have you been since we last met?" As Mo Mo said this with a smile, the Immortal Cauldron suddenly stopped, then hovered in front of him, trembling and emitting a series of buzzing sounds, as if it were telling Mo Mo something. At the same time, an incomparably powerful aura suddenly erupted from the Immortal Cauldron. However, to everyone's surprise, although this aura was powerful, no one present felt any discomfort.
"This, how is this possible? What methods did you use? How could you subdue the Immortal Cauldron? I don't believe it." At this moment, Wang Hao was filled with shock. He knew that the Immortal Cauldron was something that even his system couldn't easily subdue, and it couldn't even be put away. But now, Mo Mo had done nothing and the Immortal Cauldron had flown to his side on its own, and it was even being controlled by an Emperor-level expert. As for what Mo Mo said, he simply ignored it.
"Methods? Subjugation? He was originally my weapon, so what's the point of subjugation?" Mo Mo's gaze towards Wang Hao was indifferent, and his tone was equally indifferent, as if Wang Hao in front of him was just a passerby.
However, Wang Hao, who was standing to the side, felt a tremor in his heart when he met Mo Mo's gaze. He clearly saw a kind of indifference in Mo Mo's eyes, a gaze that he would never forget. And what happened at that time was one of the reasons why he desperately wanted to become stronger.
He remembered that when he first got the system, he was just a novice who knew nothing. Whether it was lucky or unlucky, the first world he transmigrated to was a world of immortals and heroes. Moreover, the system arranged a pretty good identity for him: the son of a sect leader. With the system's abilities, he thrived in the sect and quickly became the number one among the younger generation. As a result, he became arrogant and thought he was the chosen one. Ignoring the advice of his sect elders, he insisted on entering the most mysterious and dangerous forest in that world.
Perhaps heaven was truly looking out for him, for he made it to the middle of the forest without any major incidents. It was at this moment that he encountered a severely injured dragon by a crystal-clear lake. Thinking himself the protagonist, he immediately ran up to the dragon and offered to heal it, but he also made a condition: that the dragon acknowledge him as its master.
However, what happened next was something he would never forget. The dragon, only a little over ten meters long, raised its enormous head—which, except for its single horn, was indistinguishable from a real dragon—glanced at him, and then plunged straight into the lake. The dragon's gaze then was remarkably similar to Mo Mo's gaze now, except that the dragon's gaze was one of blatant disregard. Mo Mo wasn't even worthy of being the dragon's food; it completely ignored him. Mo Mo's behavior was like an ant saying to an injured elephant, "I can provide you with food, but only if you become my servant." There are two possible outcomes: either the elephant ignores it, too lazy to step on the ant, and the ant survives; or the ant successfully attracts the elephant's attention, and the elephant steps on the ant and kills it.
Wang Hao was in the first situation. The dragon ignored him and left. After all, lifting a foot requires effort, right? Especially for a dragon that was already injured. So Wang Hao was lucky to survive. It was from then on that he really began to work hard.
Today, he saw similar looks again, and it was then that he realized that what Mo Mo had said before might have been true, and that this thing might really be his. But whether it was true or not didn't matter anymore, because the current situation was very clear: Mo Mo's side was obviously stronger than them, and even if the Immortal Cauldron wasn't Mo Mo's, they couldn't take it back.
After watching Mo Mo put away the Immortal Cauldron, Wang Hao completely gave up hope. At this moment, the middle-aged emperor who had been sent flying returned to Wang Hao's side. Only then did Mo Mo carefully observe the other party. After observing this middle-aged emperor, Mo Mo finally understood what the Emperor Domain was all about. If he was not mistaken, the middle-aged emperor in front of him was the true master of the Emperor Domain. As for why he could have two emperors coexisting, it was probably thanks to Wang Hao's system. He must have been sent to another world by Wang Hao. And other worlds do not have as many restrictions as here, so it is natural to break through to the Emperor Realm. However, it is likely that there are many restrictions on traveling to other worlds, and the points spent must be considerable. Otherwise, Wang Hao would not have looked so pained when summoning this middle-aged emperor.
Just then, the formation of the Emperor's Tomb finally exhausted all its power and collapsed. However, no one present made any rash moves, because there were still two Great Emperors facing off. At that moment, the middle-aged Great Emperor secretly used divine sense to tell Wang Hao that Mo Mo was also an Emperor-level expert, and his strength was even greater than that of the little black dragon. It was this sentence that brought Wang Hao back to his senses. In other words, the gap between him and Mo Mo was not that big.
This is undoubtedly great news. As long as the gap isn't too big, he will catch up with Mo Mo sooner or later. Moreover, with the system in hand, as long as he doesn't die, he will eventually become a giant in the myriad worlds. When that time comes, he will definitely get back at Mo Mo for what he did today.

Chapter 430 Coming to Find Trouble
The Immortal Cauldron had already been taken away. Although there were still some divine sources in the Emperor's Tomb, he no longer wanted to stay there. So he called out to Chu Jian and Chu Chen, and the three of them bid farewell to Mo Mo. Then, led by the middle-aged emperor, they left towards the Emperor's Tomb. The little black dragon, seeing that there was no excitement to watch, also returned to the small world. Mo Mo also returned to his harmless appearance. Just then, a great battle suddenly broke out. The entire Emperor's Tomb instantly turned into chaos, and the great tomb, which was no longer protected by the formation, was instantly blown up.
The moment the Emperor's Tomb was blasted apart, almost everyone present was stunned. No one expected that such a massive tomb would be so fragile, instantly crushed into dust by the aftershocks of their battle. Only the ancient stone platform at the very center remained intact. Of course, they were careful to hold back some valuable items, such as divine sources, during the fight, and thus most of them were collected. These were their only spoils.
However, the great battle did not last long. After the Emperor's Tomb was destroyed, it gradually subsided. Only a few top-tier experts from the Holy Lands and Divine Dynasties remained, still facing off against each other. Although the battle was only a short period of time, the casualties were extremely heavy, especially among the smaller sects on the outskirts. Without the protection of Emperor's Weapons and top-tier experts, they fell one after another in the aftershocks of the battle. On the contrary, the onlookers suffered few casualties, because those who sensed something was wrong had already fled.
Perhaps this is the tragedy of the weak, but they can't blame anyone else. Since they chose to come here to seize the opportunity, they had to be prepared to die. The rewards were all equivalent to danger. If you want to gain something, you must pay a price. And this time, what they paid was their own lives.
However, this has actually become the norm, and it's not that these sects don't understand; on the contrary, they understand the implications better than others. But as mentioned earlier, you have to give before you receive. Just like this time, if this were a true imperial tomb, let alone anything else, as long as they were lucky enough to obtain one or two treasures, their sect's strength could increase by at least 10% or 20%. And if they were extremely lucky and obtained some of the Great Emperor's inheritance, perhaps another holy land would rise in a thousand years. Therefore, even if all the disciples who might rise were wiped out, they would not let go of such an opportunity. After all, even if all these people were lost, their sect would only suffer some damage and could recover in a short time. But if they really gained something, it would be a huge boost to the sect.
However, although these people were not afraid of sacrifice, they were also unwilling to sacrifice in vain. Therefore, as soon as they saw that there was nothing in the Emperor's Tomb, their battle instantly eased and gradually stopped. Only the top sects were still in a standoff, and among these sects, Taiyi Sect, where Taiyou, who was somewhat familiar with Mo Mo, was prominently listed.
After a long standoff, for reasons unknown, the representatives of these sects suddenly all concealed their auras, and then they took away the ancient stone platform. After taking the platform, they still joined forces to conduct a thorough search of the surrounding area, turning the area within a thousand miles of the Emperor's Tomb upside down. At this moment, on the mountain peak where Mo Mo had been, he was leisurely drinking tea and talking about romance with a pale-faced, stunningly beautiful woman. This stunningly beautiful woman was none other than Taiyou, the Holy Maiden of the Taiyi Sect, who had removed her veil.
The reason for this scene is quite unexpected. After the various sects ceased fighting and there was nothing exciting to watch, Mo Mo was about to leave. However, at this moment, Tai You suddenly approached Mo Mo and complained with a resentful look that he had hidden his identity and demanded that Mo Mo take responsibility for her injury.
Mo Mo originally intended to ignore it, but after all, the two knew each other, and the injuries on her body were indeed caused by him. More importantly, Mo Mo unexpectedly discovered that the top experts from the surrounding holy lands had already subtly locked onto him, so he stayed. Then, Tai You used the excuse of recuperating to stay with him. Now, the two are basically together except when they are sleeping at night, and she often asks Mo Mo to help her heal her injuries. What surprised Mo Mo the most was that Tai You would tease him from time to time, and she not only did not refuse his attempts to take advantage of her under the guise of healing her injuries, but also took the initiative to come closer to him. This surprised Mo Mo greatly, but Mo Mo had guessed some of the reasons, so he did not refuse.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, filled with the carefree life of chatting and drinking tea with Tai You every day, and then taking advantage of him under the guise of healing. During these three days, apart from the occasional, subtle prying glances from those around him, no one bothered Mo Mo. But Mo Mo knew that this was only temporary. After all, what he possessed was too tempting, and they hadn't been completely inactive during these three days. They had secretly tested him countless times, but Mo Mo ignored them each time. Finally, on the afternoon of the fourth day, they couldn't hold back any longer.
When the representatives of these holy lands came to visit, Mo Mo was playing chess with Tai You. It must be said that as a holy maiden of a sect, Tai You was indeed extraordinary. She was proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Moreover, she spoke very politely and had a good grasp of things. Mo Mo could sense that although Tai You had certain purposes in approaching him, she had no ill intentions towards him. This was why Mo Mo was willing to stay. And most importantly, Tai You's chess skills were not bad. Although she was not as good as him, she could still win one out of ten games. This was even after Mo Mo let her win a little. But she never got tired of it. No matter how many games it was, she would smile and play with Mo Mo. Although she would occasionally cheat a little.
However, this game of chess was interrupted halfway through today. These people finally came knocking on his door. But to Mo Mo's surprise, the people who came to cause trouble were somewhat different from what he had expected. It wasn't the leaders of those sects who came to his door to pressure him and demand his immortal cauldron. Instead, they sent their disciples to provoke him under the pretext of Taiyou. Moreover, their methods were quite childish. They directly sent a holy son from one of the sects to provoke Mo Mo, saying that Mo Mo was not worthy to be with Taiyou and that he should stay away from Taiyou. They even seemed ready to fight at the slightest provocation. Meanwhile, the holy sons from other sects cheered from the sidelines, looking like they were enjoying the show.
To their surprise, after hearing their provocative words, Taiyou coldly rebuked them, saying loudly, "It's my freedom to be with whomever I want, and our sect leader has already agreed. Besides, we're not related, so why are you interfering in our affairs?"
These people were stunned by Tai You's sudden words. Their minds were filled with questions. "Didn't you say that everything was arranged? Didn't we just have to go and provoke them? Didn't you say that the other party would cooperate with us? What's going on now?"
However, those who could become holy sons of a sect were not simple. The holy son was only stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses. He ignored Tai You's words and looked at her with deep affection, saying infatuatedly, "Tai You, don't you understand my feelings for you? I fell in love with you from the first moment I saw you, and after I met you, I secretly vowed that I must become your Daoist partner in this life."
