Chapter 209 Conflict in the Three Realms
The Great Mo Domain is a chaotic world of the Black Lotus not too far from the Three Realms, and the capital of the Black Lotus Empire.

The Heart God General, one of the nine divine generals under the Black Lotus God Emperor, resides in his cultivation cave.

"Hmm?" The mind, which was sitting cross-legged and immersed in cultivation, seemed to sense something and opened his eyes. When he saw Shi Mo stepping in front of him as the space rippled, his expression changed and his eyes widened.

You were clearly taken aback by Shi Mo's sudden appearance here.

"Why are you so surprised? You should know I would come sooner or later," Shi Mo said calmly, having subtly frozen time and space within the cave, seeing his surprised and flustered expression.
"You haven't forgotten what you did in the Pangu World, have you? Or do you really think Nuwa and I were fooled by you?"

Xin Shenjiang's heart sank down. Looking at his pale face, Shi Mo couldn't help but shake his head and say, "You have received guidance from many of the methods in my Three Realms, yet you still haven't been able to break through to become a World God. You are truly a waste."

"But don't worry, even trash has its uses. Killing you directly would be too easy on you," Shi Mo said, and with a thought, he directly used his mental power technique, and the invisible mental power invaded the body of the Mind General.

Before long, after his somewhat dazed mind returned to normal, he looked at Shi Mo with burning eyes and respectfully said, "Master!"

"Your little mental techniques are nothing but a joke in front of a true mental power cultivator," Shi Mo said with a sneer, then disappeared with a thought.

They came and went quietly, without the Black Lotus God Emperor, who had already reached the peak of the World Realm, not noticing at all.

Meanwhile, outside the Three Realms, in the immortal abode where Shi Mo now resides and observes the chaos, Shi Mo's Dharma body sits facing Nuwa's Dharma body.

Suddenly, a group of figures traversed the chaos and arrived outside the cave. The leader was a seemingly gentle and kind-hearted Taoist priest in a gray robe.

"Pan Shi?" Nuwa frowned slightly upon seeing the gray-robed Taoist, and her expression darkened further when she looked at the powerful figures following behind him.

The Rock Daoist was a powerful human who rose to prominence before the ancient War of Destruction. He was always calm and composed, and had even received personal guidance from Nuwa.

But he was actually the reincarnation of the Mind General's clone, something Nuwa hadn't anticipated.

"No wonder he's so low-key and unassuming, such a nice guy?" Nuwa's expression darkened slightly as she recalled her past impressions of him.

Shi Mo was not surprised at all. Since he had controlled the Mind General with his mental power, he naturally knew the identity of the Mind General's hidden clone in the Three Realms.

However, upon seeing the Blood River Ancestor, the Ink Bamboo Dao Ancestor, and other powerful figures behind the rock, Shi Mo couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He managed to gather the other three members of the Four Ancestors of the Source River.

The mind control method is indeed difficult to guard against, and this mind general is really too unscrupulous. Despite the deterrence of Nuwa and Shi Mo, he has secretly controlled more than ten powerful beings, and even more than dozens of true gods and immortals.

Although the majority of them were powerful figures from the Boundless World, there were also several, even three, powerful figures from the Pangu World.

"What do you plan to do with them? Killing them all will probably cause quite a stir in the Three Realms," Nuwa asked, her expression somewhat grim.

Shi Mo casually said, "Let them start a war in the Three Realms, let it last a long time, try to temper the immortals and demons of the Three Realms, and finally let the war intensify and let them die in the war."

"Wouldn't a battle between powerful beings cause too much of a commotion?" Nuwa couldn't help but frown. "And there's also the constraint of a life oath."

“There are too many immortals and demons in the Three Realms now, it’s time for a great battle. As for the bondage of the life oath, it’s not fixed. If there are really irreconcilable grudges, can’t they still be resolved through a life-or-death battle?” Shi Mo said.

Nuwa hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "Alright! If this battle gets too big, Suiren and the others will intervene. How long do you think it should last?"

"Let Pan Shi prepare it; he's good at this. Let's take it slow and steady," Shi Mo said directly.

Thus, with the tacit approval of Shi Mo and Nuwa, the generally peaceful Three Realms gradually began to stir with undercurrents. The struggle between immortals and demons increased, and even some great worlds experienced rebellions by feudal lords, which even escalated into clashes between two great worlds.
However, even the battles between gods and immortals were not worth the great powers' attention, and they gradually got used to it over time.

After all, in the vast Three Realms, it's understandable that the powerful beings don't have any conflicts, but it would be strange if the immortals and demons below didn't fight and struggle.

Although the struggles in the Three Realms are intensifying, the powerful beings remain calm.

Today, a batch of Ancestral Gods of the Three Realms and World Realms have emerged, possessing profound foundations and facing no external threats. Even the fiercest battles between immortals and demons at the lower levels are still within a controllable range.

If powerful figures were to intervene rashly, it might actually escalate the conflict.

Moreover, the powerful beings had a vague idea of ​​Shi Mo and Nuwa's intentions, and they also knew that there were too many immortals and demons in the Three Realms.

Although the goddess Nuwa created hundreds of chaotic worlds around the Three Realms, the rate at which immortals and demons were born in the Three Realms was still too fast, and many still preferred to stay in the Three Realms.

The large-scale conflict at the bottom level of the Three Realms involved many large and small worlds and lasted for a long time. Some of the gods, immortals, and emperors who ruled over a large world were replaced.

However, some outstanding figures emerged from such conflicts, and even some celestial beings and immortals broke through to become powerful true gods and Dao ancestors.

Similarly, some mortal cultivators have risen to become renowned celestial beings and immortals throughout the three realms.

For example, the True Immortal of the Eastern Journey Great World, because his love affair with a celestial fairy from the Heavenly Court was thwarted, stubbornly cultivated himself into a true celestial god and led the immortals and demons of that great world to fight against the Heavenly Realm, causing a great commotion and forcing the Heavenly Emperor to bow his head.

It should be noted that due to the current chaos in the Three Realms, the Heavenly Court is responsible for mediating the conflicts among the Three Realms and still wields some influence.

However, the Eastern Immortal was indeed one of the top figures among the Heavenly Gods and True Immortals, and there was not a single Heavenly God or True Immortal in the Heavenly Court who could contend with him.

After all, how many truly powerful gods and immortals would actually serve the Heavenly Emperor?
In the chaos beyond the Three Realms, inside Shi Mo's cave, the avatars of the Three Pure Ones were sitting opposite Shi Mo's physical body, sipping tea and chatting.

"Isn't that your blue ox behind the Eastern Journey?" Shi Mo asked with a smile, referring to the commotion in the Heavenly Realm not long ago.

The Three Pure Ones smiled helplessly: "The Green Ox did indeed give him some pointers, and Donghua also has a good relationship with him. Those two really are giving me a lot of trouble!"

“Donghua has already comprehended the Heavenly Dao and become a great being; he is your prized disciple. Qingniu is also a true god and Dao ancestor long ago. Do you really need to worry about such trivial matters?” Shi Mo shook his head casually. The Three Pure Ones couldn’t help but frown and said, “The constant strife in the Three Realms is no small matter. Do we really not need to intervene?”

"Let the younger generation handle it! If they can't even manage things within the Three Realms, how can we expect them to make a name for themselves in the endless territories in the future?" Shi Mo said indifferently.

“Nowadays, the conflicts in the Three Realms are being intervened by powerful beings behind the scenes,” the Three Pure Ones continued.

Before he could finish speaking, Shi Mo casually said, "I know!"

"Then you..." The Three Pure Ones Daoist was somewhat surprised.

"There are many true gods and Dao ancestors in the Three Realms, but none of them have the strength to venture into the Chaos. If they are not even allowed to participate in the conflicts within the Three Realms, they will probably be driven crazy by this,"

Shi Mo shook his head and said, "Let them compete! Maybe we can hone a few truly brilliant geniuses."

"Alright!" Although the Three Pure Ones had some concerns, they still nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. All the conflicts and the great world's immortal destiny gatherings and other competitions are for the purpose of cultivating truly powerful beings. You and Goddess Nuwa also have your own considerations."

“Yuanshi, the boundless territory is vast, with many Dao Lords of Life and Death, and even the rare Eternal Emperors occasionally perish. Although our Three Realms have some foundation, we are far from being able to rest easy,” Shi Mo said meaningfully.

The Three Pure Ones Daoist couldn't help but sigh and said, "Indeed! There are already many World Realm experts in the Great Mo Domain alone. If you don't go out and see for yourself, you really won't know how vast the world is."

“Focus on your cultivation and nurture the younger generation. Everything is for the sake of the Three Realms. Don’t worry about anything else,” Shi Mo said.

Not only the Three Pure Ones, but also some powerful leaders who either commanded a region or cultivated in seclusion, such as Tathagata, Suirenshi, and Zhurong, gradually came to Shi Mo or to see Goddess Nuwa because of the escalating conflict in the Three Realms, expressing their worries and concerns.

The powerful beings on the side of the Boundless World were even more uneasy, because some of them had already been involved in the conflict, and almost all of them were powerful beings secretly controlled by the Mind General.

Other powerful beings from the other worlds might be dissatisfied with the Pangu world, but seeing the increasing strength of the Three Realms, and with their cultivation levels rising due to the methods taught by Shi Mo and Nuwa, their competitive spirit has faded. Most of them now seek the ultimate in cultivation and hope to venture out beyond the world.

However, if Shi Mo and Nuwa think that they want to start a fight, their lives in the Three Realms will definitely not be easy in the future. Even if they don't think about themselves, they have to think about their disciples and descendants.

However, all the concerns were ultimately suppressed by Shi Mo and Nuwa.

They remain silent, and no leader or powerful being in the Three Realms possesses the absolute prestige to quell the conflicts within the Three Realms with a single word.

Therefore, the conflict continued, sometimes fierce and sometimes mild, gradually becoming the norm in the Three Realms, and even subtly affecting hundreds of chaotic worlds outside the Three Realms.

Time flies, and the higher one's cultivation level, the faster time seems to pass. A single period of seclusion can last for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

Before anyone knew it, Goddess Nuwa had become a Fourth-Step Dao Lord, a powerful and renowned peak Dao Lord in the endless realm.

Her strength is constantly improving, and she is single-mindedly cultivating to pursue the Dao, constantly going on adventures to hone her skills, seeking opportunities and treasures, and striving to increase her chances of successfully achieving the Dao.

More than half a Chaos Era has passed in the blink of an eye, and Shi Mo has remained unknown in the Endless Territory, rarely making a move.

Even the leaders and powerful beings of the Three Realms, such as Nuwa, did not know whether Shi Mo's true form was in the Three Realms or had gone to wander and travel in the endless territories.

As for Shi Mo's strength, no one knows for sure.

However, Shi Mo's physical body remained in the chaos outside the Three Realms, while his energy avatar was always in the Nebula Great World, occasionally giving lectures, accepting disciples, and guiding some powerful immortals and demons.

Moreover, his casual and effortless guidance often brings significant improvement to immortals and demons who have struggled to make progress through arduous cultivation.

As batches of immortals and demons continue to be born throughout the Three Realms, the number of powerful figures in Shi Mo's lineage is also increasing. Although their status has always been relatively detached, their influence in the Three Realms is undeniable.

Finally, the entire Three Realms endured for a long time, and even some powerful beings perished in some endless battles, triggering a catastrophe.

The battle between the two powerful beings, which ended in mutual destruction, destroyed the Six Paths of Reincarnation and shocked the entire Three Realms.

However, Shi Mo and Nuwa merely rebuilt the cycle of reincarnation and casually rebuked them.

The Three Realms appeared peaceful afterward, but undercurrents were already surging. The two major camps formed by the long years of conflict were also poised to truly compete.

The immortals and demons have different personalities; some are upright, while others are ruthless and decisive.

The long-standing conflicts in the Three Realms inevitably led to the formation of different camps, revealing the true nature of many immortals and demons, and inevitably distinguishing between so-called good and evil.

In the Nebula Great World, atop the Eight Treasures Peak of the Nine Cauldrons Iron Fork Mountain, beside a cliff, several futons and a table are set up. The avatar of Shi Mo is sitting opposite the withered old Taoist Bodhi Patriarch, whose hair and beard are all white, and they are enjoying immortal tea.

"Bodhi, isn't this tea good? It was specially cultivated by Kucao and sent to me," Shi Mo said with a smile.

Bodhi nodded and smiled slightly: "You favor this disciple so much, yet she still hasn't been able to comprehend the Heavenly Dao and become a Dao Ancestor. Instead, she's becoming increasingly adept at various methods. A jack of all trades is a master of none; this makes it even harder to break through!"

“The path of cultivation is about accumulating knowledge and experience before unleashing it; why rush it?” Shi Mo said nonchalantly. “Although she is still a little short of fully comprehending the Heavenly Dao, her power of reincarnation has already reached the fifth level.”

"Fifth level of the power of reincarnation? No wonder the cycle of life and death can cultivate such a lingering tea flavor," Patriarch Bodhi exclaimed in surprise. "When it comes to teaching disciples, no one in the entire Three Realms can compare to you!"

"Hehe, Bodhi, why are you so modest?" Shi Mo shook his head and smiled: "Being able to cultivate such an outstanding disciple as Hou Yi, there are quite a few immortals and demons in the entire Three Realms who admire and envy you!"

Bodhi Patriarch chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Hou Yi is indeed a prodigy, and I haven't been able to teach him much. It is your guidance that has enabled him to reach the sixth level of mental power, open up a world of mental power, and become a true cultivator of the mental power stream. His future achievements will probably surpass those of his master!"

“He’s no weaker than you now!” Shi Mo joked, then turned his head with a change of expression and saw that space was distorted in the distance, and the figure of the one-armed Daoist Sanshou appeared.
