After finishing all this, Chu Mo handed those matters over to Ji Qi, then first returned to the Immortal Domain of Luotian. After meeting his parents and two children, he set out with Grandpa Chu Lao, his master Demon Lord, and the Drifting Empress for the return journey to the Yanhuang Great Domain.

Over here in the Yanhuang Great Domain, after so many years of development, it's already vastly different from the past.

Years ago, when Chu Mo reorganized the Yanhuang Great Domain, he made it into a complete great world.

Three thousand years passed, and this great world has become endlessly vibrant. It has finally and thoroughly integrated.

No longer divided into sections of the Mortal Realm, Spirit Realm, Immortal Realm, and Heavenly Realm. Only one complete… Yanhuang World remains.

In this world, the unique, top-tier force is Piaomiao Palace!

No exception!

For any cultivator, non-human and human alike, their most cherished sanctuary is here at Piaomiao Palace.

This is the largest sect in the entire Yanhuang Great World!

Here, everyone takes pride in being a disciple of Piaomiao Palace.

What gratifies Chu Mo the most is that after three thousand years, Piaomiao Palace is still full of life. It hasn't turned into a rotten, depraved force. If it did, Chu Mo would rather destroy it himself.

The person currently in charge of Piaomiao Palace has already changed to the descendants of those disciples from the Mortal Realm back in Chu Mo's days.

Because those disciples' identity and status are too high!

Chu Mo's disciples... Just this one identity is enough to make all the big figures in the Yanhuang Great Domain bow their heads.

Across the entire Yanhuang Great Domain, Chu Mo is akin to a god.

Upon returning to the Yanhuang Great Domain, Chu Mo's first impression is that this world feels exceedingly familiar, with a powerful mental force continuously injected into his body.

This surprises Chu Mo a bit; at his level, ordinary power can no longer evoke any feeling in him. Yet this mental force, although not particularly strong compared to the powers Chu Mo absorbs, is quite unique, containing endless Dao charm within.

With a slight perception, Chu Mo understands. This mental force, as it turns out, is a kind of "merit force."

The seed he planted years ago when he reorganized the Yanhuang Great Domain!

He asked Chu Lao, the Drifting Empress, and his master to go back first, not to disturb those old friends of the past. Chu Mo wanted to retrace the paths of the Yanhuang Great Domain, to visit the places he had traversed in the past.

This is an emotional journey, which Chu Lao and the others understand as well.

Chu Mo set off alone; he first returned to the area where the Mortal Realm was located years ago.

Three thousand years have passed, and this place has completely changed appearance. The entire world no longer has the mortals of the past.

Nations… still exist. But they've already become Cultivation Kingdoms.

Chu Mo returned to that vast prairie back in the day, to where the Chu Kingdom was, where he paused for a while, then quietly left. Afterward, he found the forest where he had met Qi Xiaoyu back then.

That location now already has a lot of spiritual beasts with cultivation, making it different from the past.

Chu Mo made a visit to Yanhuang City as well; Yanhuang City has now become a true ancient city. What surprised Chu Mo was that it still preserved his former residence!

There are specially-assigned personnel guarding this place!

Without disturbing anyone, Chu Mo wandered around inside. The memories of the past can still surface in his mind.

This city can be said to bear too much emotion for Chu Mo.

He left the "Chu Mo Residence" and came to the street, even seeing the sign of the Gluttonous Pavilion!

Of course, today's operators of the Gluttonous Pavilion surely have no connection to him or Xu Fufu. This is already a method of attracting guests by the owner here.

After all, this is the sign established by Chu Mo in the past. As a divine-like existence in this world, the name Chu Mo carries deeper significance for Yanhuang City. It's safe to say that in the entire Yanhuang Great World, no one dares cause trouble in this city.

Therefore, during the transformation into a Cultivation Kingdom, the process for the Great Xia Kingdom is incredibly smooth. The Xia family's members are still the Imperial Clan of the Great Xia Kingdom. No one has dared to even attempt to trouble them.

As long as there's the sign of Chu Mo, their national prosperity will continue indefinitely.

Not to mention that now Shen Xingxue, one of the Ten Great Patriarchs of Piaomiao Palace, has great ties with the Great Xia Kingdom.

Chu Mo lingered here for a while; he even randomly found a small tavern on the street, went in, and drank a couple of shots. Listening to those around talking about matters of the Cultivation Realm, Chu Mo suddenly felt: truly... he's getting old!

This feeling was quite faint before returning to the place where he rose.

Afterwards, Chu Mo visited the former Spirit Realm area from back in the day, where he wandered through many places. When coming before a mountain, he suddenly furrowed his brow slightly, like remembering something, then Chu Mo's figure disappeared in a flash.

In the next moment, he appeared in the original Heavenly Realm area of the Yanhuang Great Domain, arriving at the peak of a giant snowy mountain.

Atop the snowy peak, there was a large group of people surrounding a young man.

No one sensed Chu Mo's arrival; he simply watched the young man quietly.

"Jin Ming, you're neither human nor ghost, we've finally found you." A man exuding supreme aura looked smugly at the young man encircled by them: "Let's see where you'll run this time."

"I have no grudge against you, why do you persistently pursue me?" The young man, Jin Ming, was Chu Mo's early friend in the Spirit Realm years ago.

He was buried by Chu Mo on the mountain but came back to life again, albeit in another form. Over the years, he miraculously cultivated to the Supreme Realm through his own abilities.

Although he still fell far short of Fang Lan and her companions' level, for Jin Ming, it was already an incredible miracle.

He considered going to Piaomiao Palace to find those old friends, convinced they would recognize him once he arrived. Even if it's not for Fang Lan's sake, they would acknowledge him for Chu Mo!

Yet he didn't want to go, and he was somewhat afraid to; he felt very inferior.

Despite reaching the Supreme Realm, he still regarded himself as a monster.

The figure behind this group was a new generation of top-tier power for the Yanhuang domain's rise in the last three thousand years, already cultivated to the Saint Realm!

That person admired Fang Lan and somehow investigated Jin Ming's existence. Actually, Jin Ming's existence wasn't difficult to investigate. Many people in the Spirit Realm knew about this matter back then. Since Chu Mo became a god-like figure across the Yanhuang domain, those once associated with him all became individuals with extremely high status and identity.

Even former adversaries are now basking in their own pride: They once crossed paths with Chu Mo!

Concerning such matters, not only Chu Mo, but even those in Piaomiao Palace wouldn't care.

Years ago, Fang Lan, Lu Tianqi, Lu Tianyue, and Ping Ping who emanated from the Spirit Realm all tried searching for Jin Ming. They even met him because, given their abilities, locating a person within the Yanhuang domain wouldn't be difficult.

But Jin Ming refused to return to Piaomiao Palace with them. He felt merely being alive was already a miracle, and reaching the Supreme Realm was divine favor. He didn't want to provoke anyone or reminisce about too many past events.

Thus, over the years, Jin Ming remained solitary.

But this time, he was finally surrounded by this group of people.

"No grudge?" The man in the Supreme Realm laughed coldly: "Just because of your existence, Fang Lan refuses to accept my family's young master. If this monster were dead..."

Before he could finish, Jin Ming calmly smiled: "If I were dead, I can guarantee your young master, and indeed, your entire clan would be instantly crushed to pieces by Piaomiao Palace!"

Hidden in the void, Chu Mo couldn't help but laugh, thinking: They absolutely would!

Though Fang Lan could no longer marry Jin Ming, she would never allow anyone in this world to harm him.

Unfortunately, these people didn't believe Jin Ming's words. In their view, Jin Ming was clearly bragging; how could people from Piaomiao Palace possibly care about him—a worthless monster?

At this moment, the transmission stone of the leading Supreme man suddenly rang; he answered it full of reverence: "Young master, the person is surrounded, we are about to... huh? What? Don't kill? You're coming personally? Okay, okay, I understand, I understand!"

The Supreme turned off the transmission stone while still nodding and bowing, then looked arrogantly at Jin Ming: "My young master is coming personally to end your miserable life!"

Chu Mo watched this with a sense of melancholy; once upon a time, the Supreme Realm was the most noble and prestigious existence in the entire Yanhuang domain. No... it was legendary!

In just three thousand years, the number of Supremes has increased, but they no longer carry the dignity they once should have.

Soon, a figure appeared here, like a flash of lightning.

This was a Saint!

His entire body exuded strong aura, his appearance shrouded in radiance.

Although Chu Mo saw through him at once, the people below all looked shocked, showing him respect.

Upon arriving, he looked down at Jin Ming: "Kill yourself."

Jin Ming smiled: "I have long had no relation with Fang Lan, no relation for countless years. You managed to painstakingly investigate me and know that I'm alive. It's not easy; if you could apply such dedication to pursuing Fang Lan, it might be more effective. But, guess you can't even see her face?"

"Courting death!" The Saint Realm cultivator flew into a rage because Jin Ming's words struck a nerve.

Though he was a Saint, indeed, he couldn't see Fang Lan.

The people in Piaomiao Palace are all too powerful, too terrifying; even the dragon guarding the door has a Saint Realm cultivation.

The elders inside, any one of them just pulled out casually, possesses a Saint Realm cultivation; the Ten Great Patriarchs are extraordinary, having all entered a higher Great Saint Realm!

With just a thought, they could kill him ten thousand times!

But he was not discouraged, believing he wouldn't take long before becoming a Great Saint! He would eventually have the qualifications to pursue Fang Lan.

Thus, he looked coldly at Jin Ming: "Whether I can see her has nothing to do with you, as long as I first kill you, my heart will feel much more satisfied!"

Chu Mo shook his head, sighed, and directly emerged from the void, calmly saying: "Young man, like this, you'll never win a woman's heart."

Upon hearing this voice, Jin Ming's body shook violently, his eyes revealing an expression of disbelief, he was completely stupefied.
