Chu Mo felt warmth in his heart after learning about this matter, but he was also somewhat concerned for his Master and Mistress. The foundation of the Zhuge Family was not as superficial as it seemed. With the life expectancy of an Emperor Realm cultivator being very long, generally speaking, even if they could not live to see a second lifetime, they could still live for over ten thousand years.

Ten thousand years, for cultivators, was absolutely a long time. The more powerful the family, the stronger their ability to cultivate their descendants. In ten thousand years, they could foster many outstanding descendants. Not to mention the Zhuge Family, whose lineage had extended far beyond ten thousand years!

In their most glorious era, a hundred thousand years ago, this family had already existed and was far from weak!

Therefore, facing off directly against such a family, even a strong figure like the Demon Lord would likely suffer a loss.

Fortunately, both the Demon Lord and Die were experienced individuals who had gone through many trials and tribulations. They were intelligent and wise. After fiercely slapping the Zhuge Family, they drifted away.

Chu Mo contacted Die using the message board and soon received a response from her. She told Chu Mo that both she and the Demon Lord were fine and asked him not to worry about them, while also reminding him to be cautious himself.

After putting away the message board, Chu Mo's face revealed a faint smile. Taking Bian Kaiyu with him, he flew towards the City of Heavenly Domain.

Chu Mo did not exit through the normal exit of the heavenly road, so he was still some distance away from the City of Heavenly Domain.

At this moment, the City of Heavenly Domain was bustling with activity.

Almost all the cultivators who had come out of the heavenly road chose not to leave immediately.

On one hand, those who had gained great fortune needed to properly celebrate. Although celebrations would also be held back at their clans, they needed to celebrate in the City of Heavenly Domain as well!

The City had gathered nearly half of the contemporary elites from the entire Heavenly Realm!

On the other hand, these individuals were all waiting for one person.

They wanted to see just what kind of fortune that person could attain!

Feelings of jealousy, envy, defiance, and dissatisfaction pervaded the minds of many of these young elites deep down. They all wanted to witness firsthand the level Chu Mo could elevate himself to.

The Garden of Heavenly Dao was on fire again!

Incredibly popular!

Even more popular than before the opening of the heavenly road, by more than ten times!

This time, a large number of cultivators had received cards from the Garden of Heavenly Dao.

Silver cards were the most common!

Lord Hongyue took exceptional care of those cultivators who had obtained opportunities on the heavenly road. He issued thousands of silver cards at once, along with hundreds of gold cards, and a few purple cards.

As for the jade green cards, they were still those same two!

Many young elites gathered in the Garden of Heavenly Dao, waiting for Chu Mo's return.

Some even secretly opened a betting pool.

"His Master charged from a great immortal directly to the eighth layer of the Emperor Realm, an unimaginable level. I believe Young Master Chu could at least reach the ninth level of the Emperor Realm this time!"

"Stop kidding, the ninth layer of the Emperor Realm? Why not say he could shoot up to the Supreme Realm in one go?"

"That's right, his Master is his Master, and he is him! My ancestor was a supreme too. Does it mean I can also become a supreme?"

"I actually think, judging from Chu Mo's previous performance, even if he hasn't reached the eighth layer of the Emperor Realm, the sixth or seventh layers should be likely for him."

"Yes, look at how many young elites this time have reached the fifth or sixth layer of the Emperor Realm. I believe Chu Mo can only go higher, not lower!"

Discussions like these were countless throughout the entire City of Heavenly Domain.

At the same time, in a high-end reception room in the Heavenly Dao Garden, Lord Hongyue, Imperial Master of Purple Smoke, Yue Qingcheng, and Hu Lie were sitting together, drinking tea.

Being able to sit and drink tea with Lord Hongyue was a matter of pride for both Hu Lie and Yue Qingcheng.

Lord Hongyue, with a smile, looked at the youngsters and said, "All of you are quite impressive! Both of you have stepped into the fifth layer of the Emperor Realm, which is a proud achievement. You are in no way inferior to any young lords!"

Hu Lie and Yue Qingcheng humbly disagreed.

"There isn't anything to be modest about," Lord Hongyue casually mentioned. "Actually, the term 'young lord' did not even exist tens of thousands of years ago because when the empress was around, who dared to presumptuously claim that title?"

Imperial Master of Purple Smoke nodded and added, "That's right, it's only in the past few thousand years that this title has become popular. It's a term for those young geniuses who start their cultivation high and early. Actually, a true powerhouse needs to step into the Emperor Realm before their true strength can be distinguished. Being able to rush into the Emperor Realm doesn't necessarily mean they will excel at that level."

Hu Lie scratched his head and said, "But at least their talents are excellent."

"Talent indeed exists, and no one can deny that, but the efforts made afterward and the opportunities one encounters are also extremely important," Lord Hongyue eyed Hu Lie and Yue Qingcheng. "For example, the two of you, although your talents might seem slightly inferior compared with those called 'young lords', your efforts and fortunes afterward surpass them. Strengthening your weak points with your strong ones has made your achievements in the Emperor Realm in no way inferior to theirs."

Yue Qingcheng softly said, "It's mainly because of Young Master Chu, if not for him, we wouldn't have been able to encounter such great fortunes."

Hu Lie also commented, "Indeed, we owe our fortunes to Brother Chu Mo."

Lord Hongyue gave a slight smile and remarked, "Sometimes having a good friend is also a type of opportunity."

Hu Lie and Yue Qingcheng were slightly startled, then nodded vigorously.

Indeed, having a good friend is a tremendous fortune! They can transform you from the ordinary into someone completely different! They can make the already exceptional you, even more excellent!

Imperial Master of Purple Smoke then softly said on the side, "I heard Qing'er was taken away by my master after crossing the tribulation? It's unexpected, my master is still alive in this world."

A hint of mistiness appeared in Lord Hongyue's eyes as she gently nodded, "Qing'er sent a message using the message board, telling us not to worry about her, she is doing very well."

Imperial Master of Purple Smoke murmured, "I really want to see my master right now." Her words were laced with deep longing.

Lord Hongyue gently shook her head, "It's likely that the one who took Qing'er away isn't her actual self, but probably an incarnation."

Imperial Master of Purple Smoke nodded, "That should be the case, if Master's real body were to appear, it would shake the entire Heavenly Realm."

"Everyone outside is now guessing what realm Chu Mo will reach after coming out from the heavenly road. What do you think?" Lord Hongyue looked towards Yue Qingcheng and Hu Lie.

Hu Lie thought for a moment and replied, "In my view, after Brother Chu comes out from the heavenly road, he is very likely to rise to the ninth layer of the Emperor Realm."

"And you?" Lord Hongyue looked at Yue Qingcheng.

Yue Qingcheng said, "I also believe the Young Master will at least reach the ninth layer of the Emperor Realm."

At this moment, Lord Hongyue turned her gaze towards Imperial Master of Purple Smoke and said with a smile, "Purple Smoke, they think your little disciple will surpass you now."

Both Yue Qingcheng and Hu Lie appeared speechless.

Imperial Master of Purple Smoke smiled and shook her head, "My little disciple surpassing me is only a matter of time. If I'm not wrong, this time when he comes out, he should at least be on par with me, right?"

Lord Hongyue gently exhaled and stated, "Actually, our guesses are quite similar. However, this youngster, I've looked into his journey from the Mortal Realm, and noticed something."

The three looked towards Lord Hongyue.

Lord Hongyue continued, "I've found that apart from his formidable combat strength, in other matters, he always likes to surprise!"

The three were slightly stunned.

At that moment, a sudden burst of noise came from outside.
