Qin Shi and Dong Yu both couldn't help but cover their mouths and giggle softly. In fact, after spending this period together, they all got along quite well with Si Tutu. They also took a liking to this straightforward, somewhat careless girl.

However, this was just Si Tutu's outward appearance. In reality, she was an extremely intelligent girl with a talent powerful enough to attract Ling Yuwei's attention, who then took her as a disciple and meticulously trained her.

Especially Si Tutu's archery skills, which were nothing short of divine, had nearly cost Chu Mo dearly in the past.

All along, during battles, Chu Mo had deliberately refrained from letting Si Tutu take action. He didn't wish to expose all his hidden trump cards.

Having Qin Shi alone had already frightened enough people, and that was sufficient. He certainly didn't want the whole world to know at this point that all these close friends by his side were cultivating supreme inheritances!

Chu Mo looked deeply at Si Tutu and was met with her gaze that hesitated not at all. In the end, Chu Mo yielded and said, "Fine, I will tell you when I ascend."

Afterward, everyone returned to Piaomiao Palace.

Once again, Chu Mo reached out to Qi Xiaoyu but still received no response. In the Illusionary Divine Realm, there was no trace of her either. Chu Mo had already asked Lingdan Hall to inform him immediately once they detected any sign of Qi Xiaoyu. But after such a long time, there hadn't been a single piece of news. Presumably, Qi Xiaoyu was hiding herself quite deeply.

The critical issue was that the Heavenly Realm was too vast!

An ancient continent had been drifting in the center of this universe since the Immeasurable eons ago. Even though it split into the Immortal Realm, Spirit Realm, and Mortal Realm, the Heavenly Realm remained the largest part!

And it was unimaginably vast!

Ordinary stars, in the Heavenly Realm, were like marbles played with by children.

Even for cultivators at the level of an emperor, it would take countless years to traverse the entire Heavenly Realm. In addition, there were innumerable forbidden lands within the Heavenly Realm. Those places were the true lands of death, where almost no one dared to tread lightly.

Not even an emperor could do so.

Unable to contact Qi Xiaoyu, Chu Mo's heart remained in suspense.

He used this time to concoct numerous elixirs for Lingdan Hall, thereby repaying the various favors he owed them.

In fact, the support from Lingdan Hall had been growing increasingly substantial. Whether this had anything to do with Liu Yun, Chu Mo could no longer tell.

Anyway, Liu Yun seldom initiated contact with him, and even if she did, it was just a few words that seemed rather cold. Then Chu Mo wouldn't talk much with her either. Their relationship now appeared more like that of two acquaintances with a very ordinary friendship.

However, deep down, both were well aware that things were not like that.

Liu Yun thought Chu Mo knew nothing, while Chu Mo knew everything. It was precisely because Chu Mo knew that he found it difficult to speak openly and unrestrainedly to Liu Yun.

And Liu Yun had her own inner demons, always pretending to be indifferent whenever she communicated with Chu Mo on the message board.

Both of them didn't know when they would be able to fully clarify their relationship and then have an open conversation. As for what would happen after that, both Chu Mo and Liu Yun probably had no idea.

Once Chu Mo could settle down for cultivation, his advancement was astonishingly fast, so much so that even he himself was a little scared. In just over half a month, Chu Mo's realm had already soared from the early stage of ascension to the mid-stage.

Master and Mistress had already met in the Heavenly Realm and were very safe. Mistress Die on the message board assured Chu Mo there was no need to worry about them. She also happily told Chu Mo that the Heavenly Realm was a completely different world, gigantic and unparallelled!

"It's a place where all cultivators truly belong!" Die said to Chu Mo.

Chu Mo was also very happy.

One day, on a whim, he directly entered the Illusionary Divine Realm.

This time, he made no attempts to disguise himself, nor did he use the Versatile Technique to change his appearance. Just like that, with his true appearance, he entered into the Illusionary Divine Realm's Human Layer.

The Human Layer's Phantom City still looks the same, very prosperous, with many cultivators lingering here. And it seems even busier than before. Many people are trading here.

The Heavenly Realm is too vast, making it extremely difficult to move from one place to another. But for bloodline cultivators who wish to enter the Phantom Realm, it's quite easy, and trading here is very simple.

Chu Mo watched this scene and suddenly had an idea... What if a huge trading firm and auction house were opened in the Phantom Realm? What would happen then?

Indeed, the Phantom Realm already had trading firms and auction halls. Take Lingdan Hall for example, or the Zhuge Family, they each had their own businesses in the Phantom Realm. Moreover, many powers from the Heavenly Realm had their own operations in the Phantom Realm.

However, there were only three Phantom Cities in the whole Phantom Realm, where the land was worth its weight in gold!

Even for a real-world colossus like Lingdan Hall, its shops in Phantom City could not reflect the magnificence and luxury befitting their status.

It could be said that owning a shop in the Phantom City was already quite an enviable matter. Wanting something bigger? It was almost impossible!

So, what if one could build a new city in each of the three layers of heaven, earth, and man in the Phantom Realm?

Looking at the streets swarming with people, Chu Mo reflected deeply.

If this could really be successfully achieved, then in terms of wealth, he would become a cultivator with immense fortune in a short period of time!

For a cultivator, the word "wealth" is generally something they're reluctant to talk about, perhaps because it seems vulgar. Cultivators aspire for longevity, the Great Dao, and higher realms of existence. They do not seek wealth. However, without exception, no cultivators can survive without wealth.

Money is required to purchase elixirs, dharma instruments, various cultivation techniques... all of these require money. Even their very cultivation... cost money!

Because the wealth of cultivators isn't in gold and silver, but in spirit stones condensed with a large amount of essence energy from Heaven and Earth!

So, if it's possible, Chu Mo wouldn't mind becoming a wealthy man at all.

With these thoughts in mind, he walked towards the Phantom Hall.

He reverted to his original appearance, and those who recognized him now were almost nonexistent. Another very important point was that many of the people Chu Mo had encountered upon entering the Human Layer in years past had broken through to the Daluo Jinxian level and moved on to the Earth Layer.

As he was making progress, others were not idle either! Everyone was advancing rapidly!

After all, those who could enter the Phantom Realm were already among the best in the Cultivation Realm, the geniuses.

After entering the Phantom Hall, Chu Mo glanced over at the area for bloodline testing. It was as busy as ever, with a lot of cultivators gathered. They were all cultivators looking to test the strength of their bloodlines after just entering the Phantom Realm.

If one encountered a bloodline cultivator without any background, no matter how lowly a red bloodline, that cultivator would still be fought over by many small powers.

After all, bloodline cultivators were inherently powerful.

Chu Mo gave a slight smile and walked towards the room where the Realm Spirit was waiting, pushing the door open and entering. Probably only he had such a privilege in the entire Phantom Realm.

Sure enough, the Realm Spirit was sitting there, seemingly knowing he would come, and looked at Chu Mo with a smiling face, "Not bad, the speed of your realm advancement is so-so."

Chu Mo shook his head with a wry smile, sat down in front of the Realm Spirit, and got straight to the point, "I want to build three new cities in the Phantom Realm's heaven, earth, and man layers."

Realm Spirit was taken aback and looked at Chu Mo, "What are you trying to do?"

Chu Mo gave the Realm Spirit an answer that left him completely speechless, "Make money."
