The next morning, Yiyi came over early to visit. Seeing that Chu Mo had woken up, Yiyi asked, "How are you feeling?"

"Rest assured..."

Yiyi gave Chu Mo a look, "We're friends, aren't we?"

"Of course," Chu Mo replied.

Then Yiyi pressed further, "So, how are you feeling?" Her commanding eyes twinkling as she stared at Chu Mo.

Chu Mo felt a bit guilty under her gaze and then said with a wry smile, "Actually, it's not a big deal."

"What exactly is the matter?" Yiyi asked for the third time, pursing her lips, a stubborn look on her face.

"Previously, at the Qin family's ancestral site, I sustained quite a serious injury because I not only wanted to destroy the Luotian Annihilation Array but also wipe out the group of people on the Qin family's ancestral land!" Chu Mo said in a deep voice.

"Well done! Those people deserved to die! Otherwise, countless lives would have been lost because of them," Yiyi said.

"The supreme ancestor of the Qin family, Qin Cang, had not fully recovered at the time, but the power he displayed was already terrifying. The aura of a supreme is truly despairing!" Chu Mo sighed lightly, "If it weren't for the Luotian Annihilation Array hindering him, I would've probably died on the spot."

Yiyi blinked away the mist forming in her eyes and said, "You were too reckless! How could you do something like this all by yourself?"

"At that time, I was afraid that if I didn't do it, there would be no chance later," Chu Mo said with a bitter smile.

Yiyi fell silent. If the Qin family's supreme ancestor had fully recovered, who else could break the array at the Qin family? Probably a single thought from him could kill a horde of emperors!

Understandable as it was, Yiyi still felt extremely heartbroken for Chu Mo deep inside. But not wanting to make it too obvious, she softly asked, "And then?"

"Then I ran," Chu Mo said matter-of-factly.

Yiyi chuckled and rolled her eyes at Chu Mo.

Chu Mo said, "If I didn't run, was I supposed to wait there for death? You don't know how Qin Cang reacted; he nearly went mad. Then I tricked him, and it took him a very long time to truly find me."

"He still found you?" Yiyi became a bit anxious, but then she relaxed. Chu Mo standing before her in one piece naturally meant that he had escaped that calamity.

"Mhm, he found me, and he was quick and decisive in trying to eliminate me. That's how I got my Dao injury," Chu Mo said with a wry smile, "But in the moment of crisis, the Drifting Empress appeared and saved my life."

"The Drifting Empress?!" Yiyi was utterly shocked, then looked at Chu Mo with some disbelief, "She, she's still alive?"

"It was probably her manifest body ." Chu Mo didn't go into too much detail, as it involved the matters of a supreme being, which he didn't want to reveal too much about.

"Even if it was a manifest body, that's still terrifying," Yiyi admired, then looked at Chu Mo, "So, what happened in the end?"

"The Drifting Empress, living up to being one of the most powerful cultivators in the recent history of the Heavenly Realm, utterly dominated Qin Cang, that old dog. If that were her true self, Qin Cang probably wouldn't last a hundred rounds," Chu Mo said.

Yiyi looked at Chu Mo with an astonished face, almost at a loss for words. After a long while, she murmured, "And after that?"

"They weren't finished fighting, and I... I just ran," Chu Mo said honestly.

"..." Yiyi's mouth twitched, and she looked at Chu Mo somewhat speechlessly, then nodded, "Right, why wait around? Even though the Empress's manifest body is strong, it's not her true self, and it can only sustain for so long."

Chu Mo nodded, "Exactly."

"And then, you thought about coming to the Shui Family?" Yiyi asked softly, then shook her head, "No, you weren't just planning to come to the Shui Family, you probably... wanted to visit all the families related to the Chu Clan. Partly to reassure them, and partly to deter external enemies."

Chu Mo looked at Yiyi with a hint of helplessness, "You're so clever, be careful or you might not get married."

"Are you scared?" Yiyi retorted almost subconsciously, then her cheeks turned crimson, and she lowered her head.

Chu Mo sighed softly and changed the subject, "You're right, I do indeed want to visit all the families related to the Chu Clan lineage, for the reasons you said."

"But there are families closer than ours," Yiyi said softly.

"You should understand," Chu Mo said.

"I do," Yiyi nodded, then suddenly smiled sweetly, "I brought you some breakfast, eat something, and then come with me to meet some of the younger generations. They admire you a lot, anything you say to them would be great."

"Sure!" Chu Mo smiled.

The breakfast was actually prepared by Yiyi, who had gotten up early and worked hard on it. But she didn't say, and Chu Mo didn't ask. Anyway, it was eaten, and Yiyi was very happy about that.

Afterwards, Chu Mo followed Yiyi to the Shui Family's square, where nearly all the people from the neighboring families and sects had already left. A brief visit was fine, but it would have been embarrassing for them to overstay their welcome.

On the square, a large number of young Shui Family members had gathered. Upon seeing Chu Mo emerge, they all wore an excited look on their faces. Many of the Shui Family girls showed looks of envy when they saw Yiyi standing next to Chu Mo.

Yiyi said with poise, "Aren't you all curious about Young Master Chu for a long time? Today he's here, so I asked him to share a few words with everyone." With that, she smiled sweetly and stepped back.

Eager clapping filled the square, followed by a multitude of fervent gazes fixated on Chu Mo. They were eager to hear Chu Mo's own experiences—his legendary tale!

From the stark Mortal Realm, this young man climbed upward, ascending to the Spirit Realm, the Immortal Realm, and the Heavenly Realm!

Now he shines brightly in the Heavenly Realm, becoming a young giant of his generation.

In that period, it also didn't take many years, even less than the time a Great Luo Jinxian would spend in closed-door cultivation!

How exactly had he accomplished this? What legendary tales were woven into his life?

Although various legends existed on the message boards, those were after all rumors, never acknowledged by Chu Mo himself. Now that Chu Mo stood before them, it seemed only natural that they expected him to share his experiences to inspire them.

Shui Qingqian stood among the crowd, her gaze intently fixed on the young man atop the stairs, catching the attention of the man, who looked over in her direction.

Shui Qingqian's face flushed with embarrassment as she lowered her head, and then, the man turned his attention away. Shui Qingqian secretly chastised herself for her timidity, wondering why she couldn't brave meeting his gaze.

At that moment, Chu Mo on the stairs slowly began to speak, "I, shall share some teachings with you all."

Buzz!

The square below instantly erupted with noise.

Breaking the previous silence in a split second.

Everyone looked incredulously at the young man standing on the stairs.

It was not a question of his qualifications to impart teachings. If someone capable of slaying the Emperor of the Ninth Heavenly Layer was deemed unworthy of teaching them, then there were very few in the world who could.

But the problem was... he was a member of the Chu Clan!

Sharing teachings with the descendants of the Shui Family? Was this... appropriate? Could it be that he intended to pass the unique knowledge of the Chu Clan onto them?

Suddenly, silence fell again. The young descendants of the Shui Family were quite cultured and respectful. Although quiet, their minds were engulfed in a storm of shock and awe.

Shui Hong'an, who was hurrying from behind, paused in his steps, his face revealing a look of astonishment as he stood still, not moving forward.

The Shui Family elders who had come upon hearing that Chu Mo was meeting the young descendants all stopped beside the family head, their eyes filled with surprise as they turned to Shui Hong'an.

Shui Hong'an slightly shook his head, gesturing for them to stay calm.

At this time, Chu Mo did not delay any further, promptly beginning to expound on the teachings.

Upon his first words, Shui Hong'an and the elders of the Shui Family were nearly frightened to their knees.

Supreme Art!

Chu Mo was publicly expounding on the Supreme Art in the Shui family!

What shocked and confounded them the most was that the teachings Chu Mo spoke of were unmistakably the Supreme Art of their Shui Family!

Yet it had been lost for far too many years!

Including Shui Hong'an, everyone was only aware of the Supreme Art in the abstract, as the specific transmission had long been lost within the Shui family!

"This... how is this possible?"

"Chu Mo... how could he possibly know the Shui Family's Supreme Art?"

"It's unbelievable!"

Everyone stood stupefied, like statues. Shui Hong'an's face, however, was streaked with tears of old age.

The youths of the Shui Family in the square knelt down instantly!

Not just internally but as Chu Mo began to speak, the sons and daughters of the Shui Family, thousands of them, fell to their knees.

Chu Mo did not attempt to stop them. He was imparting the teachings on behalf of the Shui Family's supreme ancestor; it was their ancestor they knelt to, not Chu Mo.

In the Guixu, Chu Mo had obtained many Supreme Arts, but only after entering the Heavenly Realm did he finally understand that the great tombs with Supreme Arts in the Guixu were the war generals of his Chu lineage!

Those people had all once followed his grandfather!

Although Chu Mo did not understand why the transmission of these Supreme Arts had been interrupted, and although those supremes hadn't explained anything when passing the teachings to him, Chu Mo even thought they were favoring him because of the big skeleton... but now, he felt it necessary to return these Supreme Arts to the descendants of those supremes!

He was visiting the related families of the Chu lineage not only to ease internal tensions and establish external authority but to continue the important task of passing on their ancestors' teachings on their behalf.

Behind them, in the vast Shui family front hall, including Shui Hong'an, all the upper echelons knelt down together to listen attentively to the teachings.

Shui Yiyi's mouth twitched, wanting to kneel as well, but Chu Mo looked back at her and then suddenly announced loudly, "As I transmit the Shui family ancestors' teachings, you may all kneel to thank your ancestors but then sit cross-legged to listen to the teachings."
