Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 5: Clumsy Framing!

“Do you know? That young master Ji Mo once boldly declared, with great poise: ‘In life, one is fortunate to find a confidant, especially a close confidante of the opposite sex; what’s even rarer is that this close confidante can develop into love! I, Ji Mo, have found my spring, my lover, my beloved! I will fight for my love to the end! Even if the ascension is a demon, I will rescue my princess from the hands of that demon!’”

The person spoke with admiration while reciting Ji Mo's declaration of love, and Chu Yang nearly collapsed. The speaker had a somewhat croaky voice, and trying to imitate Ji Mo resulted in a misunderstanding for Chu Yang, who directly heard it as ‘In life, it’s hard to find a chicken, especially a close confidante chicken’...

It took him a while to realize the mix-up, causing him to choke slightly.

What a colorful life it is! Chu Yang felt a bit envious.

He was not surprised that Gu Duxing and Dong Wushang could break through to the throne level; he was astonished that Rocky Luo and Ji Mo also managed to do so.

However, there were two crucial pieces of news he was eager to hear but hadn’t: one regarding Mo Qingwu and the other about Meng Chaoran and Tan Tan!

By the time he collected all the news, the lights were beginning to twinkle. The vast amount of information temporarily left Chu Yang’s mind in a state of being overwhelmed. He was momentarily unsure about where to start.

No matter what he did, he felt it might be reckless. His brothers were thriving even without his assistance. If he forced their enhancement with the resources from the Nine Calamity Sword, it might actually harm their future. Moreover, as long as he was around, they would unconsciously develop a sense of dependency on him, which was not beneficial for their long-term development!

This sense of dependency even included Gu Duxing. That lonely person might have realized his reliance on Chu Yang, so he resolutely returned to the Middle Three Heavens, choosing to confront the grievances of the Gu brothers in order to maintain his solitude.

As for Mo Qingwu… what attitude did the Mo Family have? What plans or thoughts did they harbor? These were matters Chu Yang needed to investigate slowly.

If he barged in recklessly, he was sure the cunning old foxes of the Mo Family would leave him with nothing. After Mo Tianji took power, the family underwent a thorough cleansing to turn the situation around; before that, Chu Yang had a vivid memory of their greed and cunning.

Especially since Mo Qingwu was still part of the Mo Family; this required careful planning.

In the chaotic Middle Three Heavens, where should he start?

Chu Yang pondered deeply while eating and drinking; he aimed to carve a path for himself through the tangled mess. After finishing his meal, he deliberately bought a large quantity of dried beef, looking for a discreet moment to place it in the Nine Calamity Space, then he strolled downstairs and walked outside.

Night had already fallen. If he sought a place to stay, there were plenty around, and they were safe. But Chu Yang did not wish to stay there.

He chose the mountains!

In the mountains, it was during the night that spiritual energy was most abundant, suitable for cultivation. The inn was somewhat noisy, and the presence of wine, lust, and wealth muddied the air…

Chu Yang didn’t want to waste any of his cultivation time.

As soon as he stepped outside, he noticed someone was following him. Chu Yang smirked, coldly laughing as he swaggered down the street, ostentatiously striding along the main road.

Swish, swish, swish, the sound of clothing brushing through the air echoed, and a strange voice called out, “Hey, stop, you there, God of Wealth! Please hold on, hehehe…”

Chu Yang halted in his tracks, and in an instant, seven or eight people surrounded him from both the front and back. The two leaders were precisely the two he had sent away.

“Kid, you’re quite rich, and quite domineering too.” The thin man glared at Chu Yang with malice. “You dare to lay a hand on our brothers? You must be tired of living!”
