Days later, the group entered a majestic city with walls a thousand zhang high, built atop an immense plain. From afar, it looked like a colossal beast lying in wait. The city was ancient, and each brick emanated an aura of vicissitudes.

At this point, everyone had changed their attire to resemble that of the indigenous cultivators from the heavenly road. To the casual observer, they blended in seamlessly with the typical cultivators of the area, entering the city without attracting any undue attention.

Bian Kaiyu's head had been sealed by Chu Mo and tossed into the storage ring. He didn't want Bian Kaiyu to interfere with his plans at this juncture.

Once there, they realized they could no longer see any cultivators from the Heavenly Realm. Everyone felt a tinge of loneliness, the kind that comes from being far away from one's own kind.

Strangely enough, the local cultivators of the heavenly road didn't seem too different from those of the Heavenly Realm. Perhaps their attire was simpler, but after countless years of development, they had their own silks and fine garments. Their diet was not much different either, and even the architecture was quite similar.

But despite these similarities, gazing at the locals bustling through the streets, everyone felt an intense sense of solitude and unfamiliarity.

After all, it was two different worlds!

Even if everything seemed the same, they and the locals were not of the same world.

The group casually picked an inn that also functioned as a tavern and booked two courtyards, then made their way to the tavern.

It was evening by then, the sun setting in the west, painting the sky with beautiful shades of red.

The tavern wasn't crowded, with only about 30 percent occupancy. Everyone was quiet, and some even chose to communicate using voice transmission.

The arrival of Chu Mo and his companions didn't attract much attention; people looked up briefly before resuming their own business.

A waiter came over, flashing a diligent smile, and greeted them.

Hu Lie glanced at the waiter, "Bring us some of your signature dishes."

The waiter, almost reflexively, asked, "Is this the first time for you gentlemen here?"

Realizing his mistake, Hu Lie responded quickly with a smile and a nod, "Yes, it's our first time."

The waiter didn't dwell on it too much; after all, first-time visitors to the city were common, especially since this was the largest city deep within the heavenly road.

However, two people sitting in a corner of the tavern did take a few extra glances at Chu Mo's group but didn't make any further moves.

Chu Mo received a warning from the divine sense, coming exactly from that direction.

Without displaying any reaction, he glanced over discreetly and felt a slight stirring in his heart.

Not only had his group changed into the attire of the Heavenly Realm's native cultivators, but they had also altered their appearances. Chu Mo even used the Versatile Technique to completely hide his appearance and aura, making no distinction between himself and the local cultivators of the heavenly road.

Even if the cultivators from the heavenly road saw them, they would not hold any suspicions.

After all, Chu Mo and his companions had been on the heavenly road for nearly half a year now. With their talent and learning abilities, posing as local cultivators wasn't difficult.

The same was true when dealing with other cultivators from the Heavenly Realm since everyone had joined the heavenly road at the same time and survived there for equal lengths.

Yet, Chu Mo still sensed a familiar feeling from that person's demeanor and gaze!

A cultivator from the Heavenly Realm!

In such a place, to encounter cultivators also from the Heavenly Realm?

The two individuals had clearly altered their appearances as well, their Disguise Technique equally adept. Yet beneath the gaze of the Azure Sky Divine Mirror, such disguises were rendered utterly ineffective.

Two male cultivators, appearing to be natives of the heavenly road, were instantly revealed under the Azure Sky Divine Mirror.

"Female, orange bloodline, mid-stage true immortal."

"Male, yellow bloodline, late-stage true immortal."

Chu Mo could now confirm that they were cultivators from the Heavenly Realm! Because although there were also native cultivators with strong bloodlines on the heavenly road, their bloodlines were completely different from those of the cultivators from the Heavenly Realm!

Two cultivators from the Heavenly Realm, after using the Disguise Technique, emerged openly in the deepest city of the heavenly road. While their goals may be the same as Chu Mo's, he always felt something was not quite right.

It was their cultivation level!

Chu Mo thought of this point at once. Even for someone like Xiao Changping, a young lord at the peak of the true immortal realm, venturing alone deep into the heavenly road was fraught with hardships. According to his own account, he had repeatedly faced danger and came close to death.

Two cultivators, not even at the peak of the true immortal realm, had actually arrived at this place unscathed, which could not but be seen as strange.

At that moment, the two cultivators stood up, called the waiter to settle the bill, and then left with an air of nonchalance.

Chu Mo's divine sense stirred, and he promptly returned to normal.

At this time, a waiter brought up the dishes. Chu Mo ordered another pot of wine and began to taste the culinary delights of the heavenly road with the others.

On the other side.

Chu Mo directly controlled his perfect avatar and followed the two individuals.

Now, Chu Mo's control of the perfect avatar had become extremely skilled, virtually turning this avatar into his second self.

For someone at his level, to possess such an avatar was unimaginable.

A true immortal in the late stage, nearing the peak, to have an avatar almost at the peak of the Emperor realm… It was too incredible!

Although the avatar had reached such a level, Chu Mo was still careful not to let his guard down. This place was infinitely close to the true end of the heavenly road - who knew what kind of beings might exist within this colossal Ancient City?

Even though the avatar possessed a realm close to the peak of the Emperor, Chu Mo at most could only exert the true combat power equivalent to about the fifth level of the Emperor realm. After all, his true self had not truly entered into the ranks of the Emperor. Being able to exert the power around the fifth level was already a significant feat.

If he included his true self, Chu Mo was confident he could battle any Emperor below the seventh level. The overwhelming presence of the avatar's realm, coupled with the powerful combat ability of his true self, definitely presented an opportunity to defeat the opponent.

Two true immortal-level cultivators would never perceive the terrifying presence following behind them. The two walked towards a secluded alleyway, remaining alert and vigilant throughout, though they did not turn around. However, they did release their divine sense to explore their surroundings.

Their divine sense swept over Chu Mo's avatar several times, totally unaware.

Eventually, the two arrived at an ancient-looking building. After glancing around, they entered.

At this point, Chu Mo was fully certain that these two were up to something suspicious!

Although he did not know their identities, the fact that two cultivators from the Heavenly Realm had their own place in such a location was itself highly illogical. Even if the natives of the heavenly road would sell houses to people from the Heavenly Realm, the question remained – why would cultivators from the Heavenly Realm buy houses on the heavenly road?

After the two entered the room, they both seemed to heave a sigh of relief. At that moment, the woman said, "Guo Wenchang, I was almost killed by you!"

The man laughed and said, "Ah, Yan'er, after this matter is settled, we will both definitely become high-tier Emperors. When we return to the Heavenly Realm, who will dare to oppose us? Rest assured, Liu Yun will never have a chance to leave the heavenly road in this lifetime! Lord Luo Jue will definitely seal her completely! Lord Luo Jue promised me! No one will know this matter has anything to do with us. Fallen Heavenly Genius are numerous on the heavenly road. Even young lords are not spared. So what about Liu Yun?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Mo's scalp exploded in shock, and his heart turned icy cold. These two… they were related to Liu Yun? What happened to Liu Yun?
