Subsequently, the grand banquet began at the Piaomiao Palace.

Nothing was more exciting than the news of Chu Mo's return. Like those in the Luotian Immortal Domain, they once thought they might never see Chu Mo again in this life. Because of this, the Ten Great Patriarchs of Piaomiao Palace, including Chu Mo's old friends, and the people of the Mortal Realm, all felt immensely saddened.

Lamenting the impermanence of the world, marveling at the wonders and mysteries of this world, pondering on the boundlessness of the Great Dao.

Three thousand years passed, and though they never forgot Chu Mo, they gradually became accustomed to his absence.

At the same time, they silently wished in their hearts that Chu Mo could live well in a higher realm of existence.

They never dared to hope that one day they might see Chu Mo again.

Just like a few years ago, when the rooster roamed around and then strutted back to the Yanhuang Domain, saying that Chu Mo was basically not going to return.

No one expected that suddenly, Chu Mo would come back!

This surprise was really... a bit too overwhelming!

So much so that many people still feel dizzy about it.

Then, three ancestral realm powerhouses appeared.

Old Chu, the Drifting Empress, and the Demon Lord.

Die also appeared alongside the Demon Lord, and her daughter. Seeing Chu Mo, both mother and daughter were extremely delighted. Especially Die, who regarded Chu Mo as her own son.

Die's daughter, by age, was already quite grown. However, she was very quiet, and her cultivation level was high, having reached the peak of the Holy Realm. Upon seeing Chu Mo, her eyes blinked with a touch of shyness as she called him Senior Brother.

There were so many people that Chu Mo spent a long time just greeting everyone.

The people from the Mortal Realm back in the day had the weakest cultivation. However, even someone as lazy as Xu Fufu had stepped into the Supreme Realm.

As for the former queen of the Prairie, Nayi, she had already advanced to the peak of the Holy Realm!

Time has passed, and seeing Chu Mo again, the still beautiful and charming Nayi, had emotions flowing in the depths of her eyes. But her face showed more happiness! That kind of happiness from the heart.

Because she finally saw him again.

Fan Zhiyuan, in terms of seniority, was Chu Mo's little uncle. He had long since grown up, and his cultivation level was at the pinnacle of the Supreme Realm.

It's not that these people had exceptionally great talent, but rather... their cultivation resources were top-notch!

All came from the Luotian Imperial Clan, utilizing the best cultivation materials.

Thus, Chu Mo's lineage held a very special status within the Luotian Imperial Clan.

Fan Wudi and Long Qiushui were among those whose talent was not considered great, and their foundation was average. Yet, all had reached the Supreme Realm.

With their cultivation level, they still had a very long life expectancy. Therefore, they all appeared quite young. Even if their appearance hadn't changed, the strong vitality they possessed was very apparent.

There were many old friends, and Chu Mo could call each one by name, and the shared experiences with these people, he could recount effortlessly.

"Those memories, to me, feel like something that happened just yesterday," Chu Mo looked at everyone, "so I've never forgotten you."

"It's the same for us, you are our pride," Liu Mei'er said with a smile, looking at Chu Mo.

Having stepped into the Holy Realm, Chu Yan looked at Chu Mo, "Brother, this time when you return, will you leave again?"

A single sentence brought silence to the once bustling and lively hall. Everyone turned to look at Chu Mo. They were equally concerned about this question.

They feared that Chu Mo would come and go swiftly, disappearing from their sight once more.

"I will leave, yes," Chu Mo said with a smile.

Disappointment immediately appeared on many faces.

People like Miao Yi Niang, Shen Xingxue, Qin Shi, Dong Yu, all hoped deep down that Chu Mo could stay. But they also knew that the gap in cultivation between them and Chu Mo was simply too vast!

Even though they had fought hard to catch up, and by today had reached the Great Saint Realm—a realm they themselves found unbelievable—facing Chu Mo, they still felt overwhelmingly weak.

Chu Mo looked at everyone and said with a smile, "However, I can take you with me!"

Silence!

The grand hall instantly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop!

The quietness was somewhat startling.

Everyone wore expressions of disbelief.

As if it was difficult to believe that what Chu Mo said was true.

Walk together?

Where to?

Where has Chu Mo gone all these years?

Although they don't know, they can all guess. It must be a higher level world, that is... the world of gods in their perception!

Can that world be entered just like that? What is that world really like?

Afterward, Chu Mo didn't keep this group of people guessing, and instead explained the various aspects of the tunnel world in general terms. Except for some special information, he didn't hide anything. He allowed these people to understand what kind of place the tunnel world is in the shortest time possible.

Finally, Chu Mo looked at them and said, "I came back this time to give you a choice. In this life, to have known you, gotten acquainted, become friends and confidants, I consider myself very lucky."

Everyone present silently thought: We are even luckier!

Chu Mo said, "So, I think, if possible, I hope we can all be together forever."

"We want that too!"

The majority of those present blurted out without hesitation.

They truly want it!

Everything they have today is directly related to Chu Mo. Chu Mo's departure is like taking away the cornerstone for the entire Piaomiao Palace. Although over these three thousand years, the Piaomiao Palace has grown increasingly powerful, seemingly no different even without Chu Mo.

But in reality, deep in their hearts, they still miss those days when Chu Mo was around very much.

For them, being with Chu Mo is not to have lived in vain.

"The other side of the tunnel is not a utopia. It may, in fact, not be as stable as it is here." Chu Mo looked at them, "I also see that over the past three thousand years, you have developed very well! Many have become founding level figures. Here, you have your deepest roots. You may not want to leave so readily. Most of you, my friends, are no longer the children you once were. So, concerning this matter, I hope you will consider carefully..."

At this moment, Huang Wushuang suddenly stood up, looking at Chu Mo. He was just as handsome and suave as before, only with added elegance and steadiness: "Brother Chu, I want to know, how many people can you take to that world?"

Chu Mo thought for a moment: "As long as you don't try to fit all the beings of the entire Yanhuang Domain, I suppose there shouldn't be any major problems."

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, but then they all understood.

Chu Mo's current realm has already exceeded their understanding. Thus, taking these people to leave here and enter a high-dimensional world is no longer surprising.

Huang Wushuang nodded: "In that case, can I bring all my family with me?"

Chu Mo nodded: "Of course."

The faces of others immediately lit up with joy.

Huang Wushuang said: "In that case, I am definitely going. Being with Brother Chu surely can't go wrong. Perhaps in the distant future, we have the chance to see more landscapes. Although this Yanhuang Domain is good, our whole life is just like this. At most, because of Brother Chu, we have a certain identity and status in the entire Luotian Great Universe. But so what? Our realms are already so high, and this life is so long. If we cannot see more landscapes, gain more knowledge, and keep repeating the same life, it's also meaningless."

Chu Qing sat there, silently nodding, then looked at her father: "Dad?"

Chu Tianxiong softly said: "Go!"

Chu Qing immediately showed a joyful smile.

Hearing Huang Wushuang's words, Chu Mo felt somewhat moved in his heart. In truth, the friends around him are indeed a group of true heavenly geniuses.

He once thought that one's birth doesn't matter, and postnatal efforts are more important. This saying... is actually true. But it depends on how wide the vision is. Ultimately, it is an undeniable fact that seeing further requires standing higher.

If they were born in the tunnel, then cultivating to today, they would have likely all stepped into that ancestral realm tier already.

Thinking this, Chu Mo said, "Next, I will give everyone a month to think and make a decision. Once you make the decision, you need to start preparing to leave. I still have some matters yet to settle over there. Also, one thing, if you leave, then it might be hard to come back here again in this lifetime..."

Chu Mo himself naturally can. But if this time, he really takes away all his relatives and friends, then he won't need to return here again.

Xu Fufu laughed and said, "What's there to prepare or hesitate about? Friends walk together throughout life! As long as you're not afraid of us weighing you down or becoming a burden, wherever you go, we will go!"

"You are all my dearest friends and family; at any time, you will never be my burden." Chu Mo said seriously.

In the end, almost all of Chu Mo's former relatives and friends decided to leave with him. Including the gentiana that remembered the holy medicine, including the Red Dragon, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and the others.

With this departure, almost all of the top power in the entire Piaomiao Palace would be drained instantly!

For someone like Le Yao, who immediately panicked, she had to go too!

"Master, you can't leave me!" Le Yao grabbed Fang Lan's arm, tearfully looking at Fang Lan.

"What? Didn't you always want to be the future master of the Piaomiao Palace? Why insist on going with master? Your master's words weren't false, were they? That world may not be better than this one." Fang Lan said gently to Le Yao: "We are leaving because of the ties that can't be broken between us."

Le Yao said: "I also can't bear to part from master!"
