Transcending the Nine Heavens

Mo Tianji squinted his eyes and said, "Boss, I won’t say much now, but once many years have passed... you will understand that planting a tree today means that when it is almost scorched to death in the future, a forest is waiting for you!"

Chu Yang smiled faintly, "I can imagine the forest, but overexerting yourself like this is not a solution. If in the future you engage in fierce battles in Nine Heavens and your body cannot hold up, it would drag us down."

Mo Tianji laughed warmly, "That will absolutely not happen! Everyone knows that mastering the world is attributed to this so-called 'mastering the world', which Xiao Fengyun created himself, but after studying it for a while, I found it to be boundless!"

He blinked and said, "Since we can use our lifespan to exchange for predictions of heaven's secret, then we can recover our losses through fortune and various other means."

"I estimate that the senior Xiao Fengyun back then was also able to achieve such greatness because he obtained this mastery of the world."

Chu Yang immediately recalled.

Xiao Fengyun, a generation of wise men, started at a young age, modified his mental techniques, broke through to martial sovereign in the Lower Three Heavens, and created his own cultivation techniques, climbing all the way to the Upper Three Heavens!

Any rubbish cultivation technique in his hands could be transformed into magic!

His supreme achievement was the ninth grade peak martial lord!

However, he reached this level purely through his own efforts, only taking ninety years!

Although he had the surname Xiao, he was not a member of the Upper Three Heavens Xiao Clan!

Moreover, the most astonishing thing was that with the strength of a ninth grade martial lord, he fought in the Upper Three Heavens barehanded and even gained territory, which was acknowledged by the nine great sovereign clans!

Before this, Chu Yang always thought that a martial lord was unattainable, so he didn’t notice anything unusual.

But as his understanding grew, Chu Yang gradually discovered: in the Upper Three Heavens, a martial lord actually isn’t that impressive!

But why was Xiao Fengyun able to rampage through the Upper Three Heavens with the strength of a ninth grade martial lord?

This was an unsolvable mystery.

Mo Tianji looked at Chu Yang’s expression and couldn’t help but smile, saying, "Throughout his life, Xiao Fengyun relied on the word 'wisdom'! When he was still unstable in the Upper Three Heavens, he never fought anyone head-on. Anyone who took the initiative against him would later find themselves inexplicably in conflict with other major families in the Upper Three Heavens."

"He always maneuvered skillfully, never relying on others, and his knowledge was vast like the sea. Eventually, a situation was created where all the major families needed him! Thus forming a delicate balance where they did not interfere with him. But once he died, the power he created was immediately divided!"

Mo Tianji sighed deeply, saying, "But precisely because he learned too many things, although he possessed this supreme treasure of mastering the world, due to his eclectic studies, he stopped at the ninth grade martial lord!"

"What a remarkable person!" Chu Yang exclaimed, suddenly his eyes lit up, saying, "So, doesn’t that mean you, like Xiao Fengyun, can extrapolate anything in martial arts?"

Mo Tianji smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"I'm different from Xiao Fengyun. He was obsessed with the arts, music, chess, poetry, wine, and tea, while I have no interest in any of that. Even because of tea, I even gave up heaven's secret tea!"

"What I’m most interested in is strategy and intelligence, heaven's secret, fortune, yin and yang, and the universe! Although it sounds like a lot, it can all be summed up as one thing: transformation!"

Mo Tianji said lightly, "So this is my current primary focus! As for martial arts, I originally had little interest, but after this battle, I will also delve deeper. Because only if my martial arts keep up, and my cultivation level rises, can my ability to perceive heaven's secret progress as well!"
