My cultivation is too warm

After the previous tragedy, the Canggu World united as a loving family alliance and things have finally stabilized.

As time passed, Xu Mo also learned how to cultivate.

Because he hadn't seen Xianqing, he felt he might not be able to return to the future.

Fortunately, he possessed the Longevity Fruit, allowing him to live into the future and reunite with Xianqing.

Having learned cultivation, Xu Mo was in high spirits and planned to venture out and experience the feeling of traveling the world with a sword.

He originally thought that traveling should be a particularly pleasant experience, the kind where you see injustice on the road, shout out, draw your sword to help, and end up receiving countless praises.

But things took a completely unexpected turn, and this trip became arguably the darkest experience of his life.

All the friends and brothers he met along the way, the people he thought were good friends and brothers who could ride swords together and live and die together, turned out to be scheming against him in the end.

If it weren't for the numerous protective magic treasures given to him by the Heavenly Profound Sect Master, he would have died on the way.

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. The key issue is that some of the people he helped along the way ended up betraying him.

The reason was surprisingly that someone had offered a reward for his life.

This left Xu Mo feeling somewhat resentful. He had saved their lives, yet they betrayed him for some material possessions. Wasn't that a bit too unfair?

Don't they understand the meaning of repaying a small kindness with a great one? Don't they have any gratitude or basic humanity?

Xu Mo felt somewhat uncomfortable, but what saddened him even more was that after experiencing some betrayals and fully integrating into the ancient cultivation world, he realized that his previous experiences were not something particularly worth telling others.

Because that's the general atmosphere of the world. Along the way, he saw a world so dark and inhumane that all he saw was a world where people schemed and plotted to become stronger and acquire more resources.

As for human nature?
As long as you're alive, you're a human being, aren't you? Those who are dead aren't human.

After several years of traveling, Xu Mo couldn't take it anymore. This world full of killing and scheming was overwhelming for him. If it weren't for the many magical treasures he possessed, he would have been dead long ago.

However, it was precisely because he possessed numerous magical treasures that he attracted the attention of countless people, forcing him to hide from others all day long.

He was originally proud and planned to return to the Tianxuan Sect with his own strength, but as more and more people were chasing him, he had no choice but to put aside his pride and send a message for help to the Tianxuan Sect Master.

After seeking help from the Tianxuan Sect Master, he collapsed completely, feeling somewhat defeated, unable to even return home on his own.

This made him feel a little regretful. He shouldn't have refused the Heavenly Profound Sect Master's suggestion not to go to a place too far away from the Heavenly Profound Sect.

As a result, he was very proud at the time, believing that he had the cultivation of the third realm and could be considered a strong person. He thought that even without the care of the Tianxuan Sect, he could live well.

Not only that, he went even further and proposed going to the territories of forces that had not joined the alliance of the Canggu world, which united them into a loving family.

They believed that venturing into those places would allow them to better hone their skills, rather than remaining under the protection of the Heavenly Profound Sect Master.

The more proud he was back then, the more frustrated he is now.

Xu Mo, who was hiding in a cave and waiting for the Tianxuan Sect Master to rescue him, let out a somewhat dejected sigh.

I regret it.

Once I get back, I won't go anywhere else. I'll just focus on cultivating and work hard until my strength increases. Then I'll settle all the scores I owe you one by one.

Xu Mo's eyes were bloodshot, and he thought fiercely.

However, just as he was imagining in his mind the scene of going back to settle accounts with those people after he became invincible, the ground outside the cave suddenly shook violently.

At the cave entrance, countless specks of dust were thrown down, instantly turning the cave interior a yellowish-brown color.

This situation made him tense, and he immediately felt uneasy.

He has now used up all the protective magic treasures that the Tianxuan Sect Master gave him. If he is discovered again, he will truly be in dire straits this time.

Hopefully, Sect Master Tianxuan can arrive before those people discover him.

As Xu Mo pondered this, he concealed his presence, silently praying that he would not be discovered.

However, the things we least want to happen are often the things that do happen.

As a series of "hehehe" laughs rang out, his heart skipped a beat, followed by a terrifying force that instantly made everything go black before his eyes.

When he woke up, he found himself back in the Tianxuan Sect.

Seeing the somewhat gloomy expression of the Heavenly Profound Sect Master, Xu Mo was slightly taken aback. Just as he was about to get up to thank him, he found that intense pain was surging through his body.

The feeling was as if all the bones in his body were shattered, and bone spurs were stuck in his muscles and joints, making all his muscles resist and dare not move, as if any movement would cause all the bones in his body to break.

The burning, stinging pain terrified him. He wanted to check what was happening, but found he couldn't.

As soon as such a thought arises, endless fear arises in his heart, and all his organs instinctively protest, completely disobeying the command of his brain, making it impossible for him to even move.

"Senior, what's wrong with me?" After a long while, Xu Mo, who had calmed down, asked the Sect Master of Tianxuan.

Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of Tianxuan shook his head, sighed, looked at him, and said with a somewhat ashamed expression, "I'm sorry, I arrived too late. Although I managed to save you, by the time I got there you were already like this."

"This..." Xu Mo's face turned pale, and then he asked blankly, "Is there any hope for me now?"

Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of Tianxuan Sect nodded and said with certainty, "Yes."

Xu Mo let out a long sigh of relief; as long as there was hope, that was all that mattered.

He quickly said, "Senior, there's no need to blame yourself. It's good enough that you've survived. This is all my own fault. Even if I can't cultivate anymore, I... I accept it."

The Heavenly Profound Sect Master glanced at him with some surprise, then asked with a strange expression, "Who said you can't cultivate anymore?"

Xu Mo was slightly taken aback, and a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes. He cautiously asked, "Senior, do you mean that I can fully recover and still cultivate normally?"

The Sect Master of Tianxuan nodded and replied calmly, "Of course, it's just that my cultivation has been destroyed and my dantian, spiritual meridians, and bones are broken. It's not a big problem. I still have some healing elixirs that I can afford."

He glanced at Xu Mo and said calmly, "With injuries like yours, one pill will heal you quickly."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mo felt tears welling up in his eyes. He had just seen the Heavenly Profound Sect Master's somber expression and thought he was about to be ruined.

He then let out a long sigh of relief, "Phew, that's good, that's good. Thank you, senior. I thought you looked so serious..."

"Anyway, it's good that you're alright, thank you senior."

Xu Mo said gratefully. Upon hearing this, the Tianxuan Sect Master rolled his eyes at him, then said with displeasure, "Although your injuries are very easy for me to treat, I don't want to treat you right now. I want you to experience this kind of pain properly."

"No matter how I tried to persuade you, you wouldn't listen. Everyone says that the cultivation world is treacherous, but you still deliberately chose the worst place to go. Those guys don't even care about the destruction of the world, and they still refuse to join the Canggu World Alliance to unite as a loving family. What kind of good people can they be?"

"You deserve to end up like this. Now you'll experience this pain properly, so you'll remember this feeling and won't be taken advantage of later. I'll come back to treat you in a few days."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mo immediately looked ashamed. After a moment of silence, he solemnly replied, "I understand. Thank you for your guidance, senior. You are right. I should remember this pain."

He was deeply grateful to the Heavenly Profound Sect Master. Fortunately, the first person he met when he arrived in the Ancient World was the Heavenly Profound Sect Master. If it had been someone else, he would probably have been devoured to the bone by now.

The Sect Master of Tianxuan Sect not only did not delve into his origins, but also took good care of him, taught him cultivation, and patiently taught him the rules of survival.

It is only right that I call such a person my mentor, but unfortunately, the Sect Master of Tianxuan Sect has always forbade me to do so, saying that he will not accept me as his disciple.

However, the kindness he showed me was far greater than that shown to a true master and disciple.

Faced with Xu Mo's感慨 (expression/reflection), the Tianxuan Sect Master merely snorted coldly and left in a huff.

Seeing that, Xu Mo smiled slightly, feeling a warmth in his heart. Wasn't the other person's attitude also a sign of deep love? This must be what they call disappointing someone who hasn't lived up to their expectations; he had let him down.

After that, Xu Mo lay quietly, unable to move at all. This feeling made him extremely uncomfortable, but he did not complain and silently endured it.

Just as the Sect Master of Tianxuan said, all of this is what I deserve, and I should cherish and remember this pain.

During this time, he has been recalling the details of his trip in his mind, and those scenes are still vivid in his mind.

He finally understood that the cultivation world was not what he had imagined.

Previously, when Xianqing took him on a journey through the myriad worlds, perhaps because she was there, Xu Mo had never witnessed the darkness of the cultivation world.

Or rather, Xianqing would never let him see the darkness of the cultivation world.

Now, he has finally seen the true face of the cultivation world.

He felt he should be grateful for this experience; otherwise, if he had remained so naive, he might have been devoured long ago, leaving not even bones behind, in a different environment.

Now that the Heavenly Profound Sect Master is protecting him and providing him with an environment to grow, he is able to learn enough from these lessons and not remain as naive and innocent as before.

The Heavenly Profound Sect Master originally said that Xu Mo should rest for a month before receiving treatment.

However, after only ten days, the old man felt a little sorry for him and took out a healing elixir for him to eat.

However, he proudly gave a reason for this: "Anyway, you've learned your lesson and won't be so foolish again. Let's leave it at that for now. I have to go to a meeting with my comrades in the alliance, so I don't have time to deal with you."

Seeing that Xu Mo had recovered so well, he breathed a sigh of relief, then put on a stern face, as if the previous relief was an illusion, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.

Watching his retreating figure, Xu Mo, who was now able to move, immediately knelt down and kowtowed nine times in the direction he had left.

After this incident, Xu Mo didn't go anywhere and stayed at the Tianxuan Sect to cultivate quietly.

A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, the entire world suddenly emitted a violent roar, followed by darkness.

This commotion lasted for seven days, during which the entire Canggu world was shrouded in darkness.

When the world regained its light, everyone in the ancient world could clearly feel that the whole world seemed to have suddenly become different.

I felt completely relaxed and at ease, all the pent-up emotions in my heart vanished, and I felt incredibly comfortable.

After the explanation from the Sect Master of Tianxuan, Xu Mo learned that after years of fruitless negotiations, the Canggu World, united as a loving family alliance, decided to completely part ways with those who were unwilling to join, thus dividing the Canggu World in two.

The ancient remains ancient, while the one opposite is called the chaotic ancient. From then on, everyone went their separate ways.

The reason people felt this was because, when they separated heaven and earth, they also set up a purification array that could purify the resentment accumulated between heaven and earth.

After all, accumulated resentment can corrupt people's hearts.

It's good as it is now. Purifying the resentment won't change people's thoughts, and it will also make the world clear. New people won't be affected by the resentment and become dark.

Xu Mo could only sigh and say that the Heavenly Profound Sect Master and his ilk were truly adept at this.

After splitting the world in two, Xu Mo could clearly feel that, thanks to the efforts of the ancient world's united and loving family alliance, the whole world began to get better little by little.

Those schemes, plots, and deceit have become increasingly rare.

The hatred that had been built up in the past was completely erased by the alliance, and the new generation of power will never know about their past hatred.

Only those who rise to high positions are verbally informed of the past, to remind them of how hard-won the current situation is, and to ensure they do not fail the efforts of those who helped them.

Because the ancient world is becoming more and more united, they are also beginning to win victory after victory on the battlefield outside the heavens, and the crisis of world destruction is getting further and further away from them.

Ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye, and on this day, the Sect Master of Tianxuan suddenly came to say goodbye to Xu Mo.

Xu Mo was immediately startled. It turned out that the Heavenly Profound Sect Master had said that the Ancient World had become what he had imagined and had entered the right track.

Even if we don't need him, things won't turn out the same as before.

After all, the current Canggu is countless times stronger than it was ten thousand years ago. There are five more Dao Venerable experts now, including the Tianxuan Sect Master and the Haoran Sect Master.

Over the course of ten thousand years, their cultivation levels all broke through from the seventh realm of Dao Integration to the Dao Venerable realm.

Now, they no longer need to worry about Cang Gu's future, and it's time to resolve the issues between them.

Even after ten thousand years, they could not forget the deep-seated hatred between them.

However, in order not to affect Cang Gu's morale, they claimed to the outside world that they had discovered an enemy plot and were going to thwart it.

Upon hearing this, Xu Mo fell silent.

He knew that if the other person left, he might never see them again.

He truly didn't want this elderly man, who had shown him such immense kindness, to meet such an end.

Then, a thought struck him, and he asked the Sect Master of Tianxuan, "Senior, do you know where those people from other realms beyond the heavens come from?"
