Several days later, after Chu Mo returned to Piaomiao Palace, he assembled everyone for the first time and posed a question to them all: "Do you want to become stronger?"

Then, he was met with countless rolled eyes. Not to mention others, even Long Qiushui, looked at him speechlessly and couldn't help but mutter, "Isn't that a stupid question?"

Indeed, Long Qiushui was also here in Piaomiao Palace. On the day Chu Mo returned riding the Azure Dragon, he did not show himself. After all, he was a once-prominent youth in the entire younger generation of the Heavenly Realm, quite a notable figure. Although he had recognized the mistakes of his past and was willing to admit them, even humbly joining Piaomiao Palace, he was still somewhat unsure how to face Chu Mo.

However, during the banquet that very evening, Chu Mo personally toasted Long Qiushui, thus erasing the grudges of the past with a smile and welcoming him with open arms. Those days of youthful impetuosity and vigor were now nothing but fleeting clouds of the past. Now everyone has grown up and matured. The issues of the past seemed much less significant.

Chu Mo's magnanimity and demeanor won unanimous praise from everyone. Therefore, by today, Long Qiushui became much more at ease when facing Chu Mo.

Chu Mo was too strong, and he had already lost the urge to compete with him. However, the desire to strengthen himself had never vanished.

After all, in twenty years, the Demon Clan would descend upon this world. These were the twenty years obtained through Chu Mo's life-threatening efforts, as well as the lives of many clan members of the Chu Clan lineage. They had every reason to cherish this time.

Chu Mo said with a smile: "Everyone should know that I'm rather wealthy."

Instantly, a chorus of hisses filled the Heavenly Dao Garden.

There was no helping it, as this statement was too infuriating. Although it was the truth, was it really good to flaunt like that? This was how you make no friends!

But then Chu Mo continued, "Even with an endless supply of top-notch Heavenly Crystals, it would be very difficult for you to break through the peak of the Emperor Realm and step into the realm of the Quasi-Supreme in a short period of time."

Suddenly, the surroundings fell deadly silent, and everyone stared at Chu Mo in shock.

What the devil?

Quasi-Supreme?

Are you sure you're not joking?

Even Hongyue slightly furrowed her brows, unable to hide her astonishment. Indeed, the individuals present that day, any one of them picked out could be considered a genius. Absolutely brilliant, all very excellent. The phrase 'extraordinary talent' was not an overstatement for any of them.

But the problem was, Quasi-Supreme? Wasn't that joke a bit too much?

In this Heavenly Realm, it was already commendable to have one Emperor among a billion people. As for Quasi-Supremes, they were even rarer!

Since the day Chu Mo entered the Heavenly Realm, the Quasi-Supremes he had encountered could be counted.

You must know, the Heavenly Realm is the highest-level world of the vast Yanhuang domain!

It is a vast continent floating in the endless cosmos! So vast it seems nearly infinite, and the stars in the sky, compared to this continent, seemed like mere dust. As if one could fly out of the Heavenly Realm continent and gaze back from afar, the entire Heavenly Realm continent, sprawling across countless galaxies, was like a colossal wall spanning the universe and cutting through the cosmic void!

The number of creatures on this continent was beyond counting.

So many creatures, yet only a handful of Quasi-Supremes had emerged, and the established Quasi-Supremes in the entire Heavenly Realm could be counted!

But what was Chu Mo just talking about? He said it would be quite difficult for you all to break through the peak of the Emperor Realm and step into the realm of the Quasi-Supreme in a short time?

Was this just a difficult question? Was it not an utterly impossible fantasy?

Nearly everyone, including Hongyue, had this thought.

Only Bian Kaiyu, who was sitting quietly in a corner, as well as World-Dominating Biao, gentiana, and Huang Jianlan, these few rare herbs, didn't exhibit any strong emotional fluctuations.

Bian Kaiyu hadn't taken any official position in Piaomiao Palace; he declined the offer to become an elder, stating that he wished only to be a guardian, silently protecting this place. Of course, everyone in Piaomiao Palace respected him greatly.

Bian Kaiyu smiled as he watched Chu Mo, his heart already clear about Chu Mo's intentions. But still, he couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion. How many years had it been? Chu Mo had grown to such an extent! That he could suppress existences like the blood demon ancestor and Qin Cang—if he didn't know these events were absolutely true, he would hardly dare to believe it.

Truly the darling child of Heaven and Earth, worthy of being crowned King of the Heavenly Realm.

World-Dominating Biao, Huang Jianlan, and gentiana, these rare herbs, were elegantly rooted in the sacred soil of the Heavenly Dao Garden. They were very comfortable, and World-Dominating Biao rarely transformed into its beast form now, as it had scared quite a few people before.

Compared to Bian Kaiyu and the few rare herbs' calm, the rest of the crowd couldn't help but look at Chu Mo, puzzled about what he was hinting at.

Looking at everyone's silent yet infinitely curious gazes, Chu Mo said, "But if, under the condition of having abundant and powerful resources, you all can enter the heavenly road for cultivation... then, I believe, in twenty years, there might be many among us here who could become Quasi-Supremes."

"What? The heavenly road?"

"Am I hearing this wrong?"

"The heavenly road only opens once every three thousand years; are you joking with us?"

Everyone was immediately looking at Chu Mo with shock on their faces, expressing their incomprehension of Chu Mo's words. The Skyway Gate had already closed; what was the point of saying such things at this time?

Si Tutu rolled his eyes, unable to help but say, "I say, my lord, the Skyway Gate has long been closed; do you think the heavenly road is the Illusory Divine Realm?"

Aside from a few exceptions, almost everyone present knew a great deal about Chu Mo, so when they heard Si Tutu's words, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Indeed, the heavenly road isn't like the Illusory Divine Realm. Though Chu Mo has never publicly disclosed anything about his deep connection with the Illusory Divine Realm, those who truly understood him were well aware of it.

But the heavenly road—it has been a path that exists since time immemorial!

It used to be known as the path to godhood; how could such a place be somewhere you could enter just because you said so?

Chu Mo smiled and said, "What if I could take you onto the heavenly road? Would you like to go?"

As soon as these words were spoken, even Long Qiushui, Lu Hongxue, and Huang Wushuang had their eyes light up instantly. They were cultivators who had come out of the heavenly road just a few years ago, where they had all obtained unimaginable great fortunes!

Take Long Qiushui, for instance; at that time, she was so suppressed by Chu Mo that it would have been incredibly difficult for her to achieve Emperor Realm if she were in the Heavenly Realm. Yet, in the heavenly road, she still received an opportunity, not only breaking through the Emperor Realm but also barely stepping into the higher domain of the Emperor Realm.

Hence, this group of people understood the benefits of the heavenly road for cultivation better than anyone else.

Tong Ying's beautiful eyes landed on Chu Mo, her heart filled with complex emotions. She had struggled and hesitated for a long time before she decided to come to Piaomiao Palace. In her eyes, Chu Mo was a genuinely respectable person. Those who cared knew what Chu Mo had left to do. So, she wanted to do something for Chu Mo, to leave something behind for the Heavenly Realm. Only then would she have lived this life not in vain.

Unexpectedly, not only had Chu Mo returned as a king, but he also brought them such an immense benefit!

Thinking this, Tong Ying couldn't help but glance at Long Qiushui, who also had excitement in her eyes, and thought to herself: Indeed, good people receive good karma!

At least, before they chose to join Piaomiao Palace, they had never thought there would be such a benefit.

"Of course, we would!"

"Definitely willing!"

"How could we not be willing?"

Qi Bo, Mao Hanhai, and others were so excited they could hardly speak.

They had gained unbelievable great fortunes from just one trip onto the heavenly road. If they could enter a second time, a third time… or even more, then maybe in twenty years, entering the Quasi-Supreme Realm could be possible!

They were all cultivators; who wouldn't want to step into that realm? Who wouldn't want to have enough power to face the Demon Clan head-on when chaos descends?

Defending their homeland and protecting their families were the thoughts in everyone's hearts. Even someone seen as a bad person by others, as long as they were not irredeemable, would still have such a bottom line.

"Good you're interested, I'll take you there," Chu Mo said. "Even if you are expelled from the heavenly road after one opportunity, I can take you a second time, and a third, a fourth... and even more!"

This time, even Hongyue's face showed a hint of being moved.

Under normal circumstances, the heavenly road opened once every three thousand years, and all cultivators above the Great Luo Jinxian and below the Emperor Realm could enter. But if Chu Mo can bring them all in at any time, then even she thought of re-entering.

At the very least, there, she could also understand different and new Dao and verify her own. Even if she never breaks through to the Supreme Realm in this lifetime, she can, at least, carve out her own path like the Blood Demon ancestor!

That was the intention!

Hongyue, Purple Smoke, they all wanted to enter the heavenly road. Not to mention the others.

Everyone was looking at Chu Mo with eager faces.

Chu Mo said, "When you enter the heavenly road, be careful of the natives there; previously, I had some unpleasant encounters with those natives."

"Don't worry, we know what to do."

"Sure. If someone asks about you later on, we'll just say you're our archenemy!"

Chu Mo was speechless with a head full of black lines, looking at Qi Bo and Mao Hanhai who had spoken and said, "If saying so keeps you safe, then fine."

Everyone laughed again.

Afterward, Chu Mo didn't delay any longer. Since these people all wanted to go, then let's go!

He first set up arrays to directly seal off the Heavenly Dao Garden. Then, he left behind the World-Dominating Biao, gentiana, and Huang Jianlan, as well as the Fire Dragon, Azure Dragon, and the white tiger. Indeed, there was a twist between the white tiger and Azure Dragon; they no longer bared their teeth as they did before, but instead became very gentle, like an obedient cat.

Leaving these beings to guard the home, he gathered the rest of the people and took them all into the Chaos Furnace. He didn't want to expose the world within the Sky Mirror, so he took these people into the Chaos Furnace first, and then, carrying the Chaos Furnace, he directly tore through the void.

Into the heavenly road!
