Chu Mo gave a wry smile, "This, it's truly hard to believe."

"I find it quite magical too," the woman said indifferently. "After Master told me about this, she said that your first stop upon ascending to the Heavenly Realm would be this city, so I came back specially to wait for you." As she spoke, the woman smiled faintly, like a blooming field of flowers, "Master even found me a little junior sister, a young girl from the Qin family of the Heavenly Realm?"

"This…" Chu Mo was now completely at a loss for words. Since she knew even this, it clearly wasn't something heard through hearsay.

The image of that extremely beautiful woman from the ruins flashed in Chu Mo's mind, his shock growing stronger as he thought: Could it be… that the power of the Supreme has grown to such an extent?

As if seeing through Chu Mo's thoughts, the woman said, "The Supreme represents the ultimate in power, and also the beginning of the Dao."

"What do you mean?" Chu Mo frowned slightly, looking at the woman with confusion.

The woman said, "Cultivators claim that they cultivate the Dao, but in reality, up to the Supreme, they are still cultivating power. Think about it, isn't each breakthrough you make a process where your power increases?"

Without waiting for Chu Mo to speak, the woman continued, "When your power grows, the techniques you can use also increase. The higher the realm, the stronger the divine abilities and secret techniques that you can display. But ultimately, it all boils down to the strength of one's power."

Chu Mo pondered the woman's words, and eventually, he found himself somewhat at a loss for words.

Because that was indeed the case.

Advancing from one realm to another is indeed a process of increasing power.

The stronger the power within the body, the more techniques become available. Both attack and defense grow stronger. As for the understanding of the Great Dao, the control over the laws of Heaven and Earth, they are indeed not as well-mastered as the control over one's own power.

After letting Chu Mo think for a while, the woman said, "In fact, only when you reach the true immortal realm do you truly start to come into contact with the 'Dao', because at the true immortal realm, the primordial spirit unifies and can transform into myriad incarnations. But even then, the Dao is still one's own Dao, a minor Dao. When it reaches the Emperor Realm, it is still near the epitome of power, and the Dao remains a minor Dao."

"What about the Supreme?" Chu Mo asked.

"The Supreme is the epitome of power. A person's entity can exhibit the strongest power that is probably the Supreme Realm. Only by reaching one peak can another be initiated. That is the Dao…" the woman looked at Chu Mo, "That kind of Dao… is the true Great Dao of Heaven and Earth! It allows cultivators to truly transcend and detach. Therefore, the realm of the Supreme is very magical and powerful. Do you understand now?"

Chu Mo scratched his head, somewhat embarrassedly shaking his head, "I kind of get it, but I'm far from reaching there."

"No, you are already very outstanding," the woman said with a faint smile. "When Master first told me this, I didn't understand it at all."

Chu Mo smiled, somewhat at a loss for how to respond.

The woman glanced at Chu Mo, "Do you believe my identity now?"

Chu Mo nodded, "Although it's hard to believe, it seems you have no reason to deceive me in this way."

"Then call me 'Senior Sister' and let me hear it?" the woman suddenly revealed a mischievous smile.

Although Chu Mo knew deeply that this woman's age was beyond his imagination, looking at her alone, he wouldn't consider her as some ancient, elder figure. He would just see her as a gentle girl-next-door. Thus, calling her 'Senior Sister', Chu Mo felt no aversion. He looked at the woman and called out, "Senior Sister!"

"Mm, good!" The woman nodded and said with a light laugh, "In the past, Master only had me as her disciple. Unexpectedly, after so many years, she has taken another disciple, another student."

Yes, Chu Mo wasn't exactly the disciple of the Drifting Empress, but rather a student. But even as a student, he learned no less than what this Empress of Purple Smoke had learned. Almost all of the Drifting Empress's legacy had been passed on to Chu Mo.

Therefore, it wasn't wrong for the Imperial Master of Purple Smoke to acknowledge Chu Mo as her junior brother.

"During this time, you should stay here. When Master passed the legacy to you, you were still too young, and it was said that what you had learned was quite mixed. Being here, I can stand in for Master and help perfect your divine abilities a bit more," Purple Smoke said to Chu Mo, "and just in time, you can rush to have a breakthrough in your realm."

Chu Mo nodded, gratefully looking at Purple Smoke, "Well… Senior Sister, won't this be a disturbance to you?"

Purple Smoke slightly smiled, "No, I have been cultivating for many years and have always been very lonely, so having a junior brother makes me quite happy."

Chu Mo earnestly performed a bow to Purple Smoke, "Then, thank you very much, Senior Sister!"

This outcome was something Chu Mo had never even dreamed of before; his friends in the Heavenly Realm had really been limited. Hu Lie counted as one, and though there were alliances with Lingdan Hall, Chu Mo did not want to ask them for too much. Unexpectedly, after arriving here, he found that he was not alone. This feeling warmed his heart.

In this way, Chu Mo settled directly in the Purple Smoke Hut. He had also asked this Emperor Realm Senior Sister whether the person she had fought with that day was Zhuge Lang, and Purple Smoke outright said it was him.

Seeing Chu Mo somewhat worried, Purple Smoke reassured him with a light laugh, saying it was alright. The Zhuge Family might be full of strong members and have a vast clan, but she was not afraid.

Indeed, it was just like that; Chu Mo had been staying here for already half a month and had successfully stepped into the realm of a Grand Golden Immortal. The anticipated retaliation from the Zhuge Family... had yet to occur.

After stepping into the realm of a Grand Golden Immortal, Chu Mo's whole demeanor became very extraordinary; with the help of Purple Smoke, he also gained a new understanding of the legacy passed down to him by the Drifting Empress.

"Could it be that they really don't dare to come?" one day, Chu Mo asked Purple Smoke.

Purple Smoke shook her head, "If they're smart enough, they probably don't dare."

Chu Mo looked at Purple Smoke in shock and couldn't help but ask, "Senior Sister, what realm are you actually at?"

"Emperor," Purple Smoke said.

"But aren't there many levels within the Emperor Realm?" Chu Mo looked at Purple Smoke. "Which level are you on?"

Purple Smoke gently smiled and said, "Eighth level."

Hisss!

Chu Mo sharply inhaled, stared at Purple Smoke dumbfoundedly for a long time, and then said, "That's really high!"

"Don't rush, you will step into this realm very soon," Purple Smoke said.

Chu Mo gave a wry smile and shook his head. To say he could step into the realm of a true immortal soon, he believed it. But to say he could soon step into the Emperor Realm, he really did not dare to boast.

Regarding talents, he had never thought himself inferior. But his starting point was too low!

Growing up from the Mortal Realm, step by step to this day, he had already walked ahead of many people. But compared to those truly top Heavenly Geniuses in the Heavenly Realm, Chu Mo really didn't dare say he was the strongest among them.

Because among his peers, some had already stepped into the Emperor Realm.

Purple Smoke said, "Maybe some people have stepped into the Emperor Realm ahead of you, but you will definitely become a young supreme ahead of them!"

"Supreme has no path, alas..." Chu Mo smiled helplessly.

Purple Smoke said indifferently, "Supreme might not be without a path, as long as you tread each step well, you will definitely become the youngest supreme!"

Chu Mo thought of that young supreme who had once crossed the endless galaxies to come to the Immortal Realm, thinking to himself: That person's age should be older than his, but only by a little, right?

Purple Smoke looked at Chu Mo and said, "Pack up your things, I'll take you to a place where you can grow faster. At the same time, you can meet more people, and while you're at it, resolve the grievances you had with some people in the Heavenly Realm."

"What?" Chu Mo was startled and looked at Purple Smoke, "Which place?"

"Heavenly Road," Purple Smoke said softly.
