The heavenly road is but a path, a path filled with eeriness and ill omens! Yet this road attracts countless Heavenly Geniuses of the Heavenly Realm to venture forth.

Those who have managed to traverse this entire road since ancient times are few and far between, and none of them were weak.

Some were at the Heavenly Immortal Realm when they set foot on this path, but upon leaving the path, they had directly soared to the pinnacle of the true immortals. There were even a few who, upon stepping onto this road, were at the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage, but as they emerged, they had ascended to become Emperors!

"The heavenly road opens once every three thousand years, and any cultivator above the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage and below the Emperor Realm may enter. If they can walk to the end and leave from there, their cultivation will at least ascend by a major realm! However, there is also the possibility of falling midway. The road harbors opportunities as well as endless dangers, filled with weirdness and omens. These could come from the heavenly road itself or from other people around."

Purple Smoke explained seriously, then looking at Chu Mo, "Are you going?"

Chu Mo did not hesitate for a second, "Of course!"

Purple Smoke looked at Chu Mo with a smile of relief on her face and nodded, "Master wasn't wrong about you."

"Master Piaoling?" Chu Mo looked at Purple Smoke.

Purple Smoke nodded, "Yes, she said you seem gentle, but deep down there's a streak of ruthlessness, and it is this ruthlessness that will support you to reach higher." As Purple Smoke spoke, she lowered her eyelids and spoke softly, "Master said that I lack this ruthlessness, saying I smile too much. In fact, I've been trying hard to change over the years."

Chu Mo was slightly taken aback, looking at the incredibly beautiful woman before him, a top cultivator in the Emperor Realm, standing at the pinnacle of the Cultivation Realm.

At the eight-fold...Emperor Realm, such experts are likely absent even among the ordinary great clans. But at this moment, she showed a side of a young girl, evoking feelings of distress and pity.

Purple Smoke continued, glancing at Chu Mo, "You wouldn't laugh at me, would you?"

Chu Mo shook his head, "How could I? In fact, I think everyone has their own path. What the teacher said...may not all be correct."

Purple Smoke couldn't help but laugh, "Back in the day, I wouldn't dare to contradict Master. Just a while ago, she transmitted a message to me, which was very rare, telling me a lot about you. She said, if I brought up my own flaws to you, you would definitely say that what your Master said isn't necessarily correct, that you must walk your own path."

"..." Chu Mo was speechless, his image of the beautiful, stern teacher who would not hesitate to discipline him suddenly saying such things was surprising.

Purple Smoke went on, "Actually, the teacher also said, after many years of contemplation about my matters, she only now feels that I may not be suited to walk her path again. Although she has successfully become supreme, if I were to tread her path, I might not succeed."

Chu Mo nodded, "I think so too, even though I'm completely unfamiliar with that path."

Purple Smoke smiled, "Master said you're extraordinarily intelligent, that even if you had mediocre talent, you could forge a path unprecedented in history. Moreover, your talent... Master said it's matchless in the entire Cultivation Realm."

Chu Mo wore a look of astonishment.

Purple Smoke said, "It's true!"

"How could it be that great?" Chu Mo said, "There are countless geniuses in this world, like carps crossing a river. Although I don't like to belittle myself, I also cannot be arrogantly proud."

"Being humble is a good thing," Purple Smoke regarded Chu Mo, "Do you have any other matters to attend to in the Heavenly Realm? If not, let's set out for the heavenly road."

Chu Mo pondered for a moment; in the Heavenly Realm, aside from some grudges with a few families, there were only a few matters left.

The first matter was the whereabouts of Qi Xiaoyu. According to deductions, she was still in this world, but her location could not be pinpointed.

The second matter concerned Liu Yun. Now that Chu Mo had stepped into the Daluo Jinxian realm, he really wanted to see Liu Yun. The incident from those years ago needed to be addressed. No matter what, he was ready to acknowledge it.

The third matter involved his master and mistress. However, both his master and mistress were very safe now. Die had left a message for Chu Mo on the messaging board, saying they had embarked on the journey to find those few medicinal ingredients. At the same time, their cultivation was also rapidly improving, so Chu Mo need not worry about them.

Thus, this third matter was something Chu Mo could set aside for the moment. After all, Mistress Die had also promised him that she would inform him immediately should they encounter any danger or difficulties.

The remaining issues, such as where the big rooster had gone after ascending to the Heavenly Realm, such as having a drink with Hu Lie, and the owner of the scarecrow puppet… these were not considered top priority matters.

The big rooster had said long ago that it ascended to the Heavenly Realm because it had its own matters to handle. As for Hu Lie, Chu Mo could contact him at any time. The owner of the scarecrow puppet… with no leads at all, Chu Mo couldn't be bothered to think about it.

But there was another matter that weighed heavily on Chu Mo's mind, and that was the Blood Demon Ancestor!

If he could not resolve this threat, the shadow of the Blood Demon Ancestor would always accompany his growth. There was the possibility of encountering great dangers at any time.

However, the Blood Demon Ancestor's realm was probably not something Purple Smoke could deal with, so Chu Mo hadn't mentioned this matter to her.

Actually, Chu Mo had guessed that his matter with Qi Xiaoyu was already known by many in the Immortal Realm; it wasn't even considered a secret. Qi Xiaoyu was the Elf Clan princess, and even if the Blood Demon Ancestor didn't know himself, he was certainly aware of Qi Xiaoyu.

So, deducing that the person who ruined his plans years ago was Chu Mo wasn't difficult.

The reason why there was no activity until now might have other reasons behind it, but Chu Mo never harbored overly optimistic thoughts. He was already mentally prepared to face the Blood Demon Ancestor's retaliation. As long as it wasn't the Blood Demon Ancestor himself, Chu Mo wouldn't be too passive.

His perfect avatar would certainly surprise many who looked down on him.

Chu Mo had just mentioned the first matter, wanting to find Qi Xiaoyu, when Purple Smoke said, "If there are no accidents, these people should all appear on the heavenly road. The heavenly road opens once every three thousand years, and any cultivator with a bit of confidence in themselves shouldn't miss it. Even many cultivators at the peak of the true immortal realm, who already have the ability to step into the Emperor Realm, will continuously suppress their realm's advancement just for this opportunity!"

Chu Mo asked with some surprise, "Just for this opportunity?"

Purple Smoke nodded, "Indeed, because this opportunity might allow them to surge directly to the third or fourth layer of the Emperor Realm, or even the fifth or sixth layer. For those young nobles, it might even allow them to reach above the seventh layer of the Emperor Realm! However, in the past few tens of thousands of years, the number of cultivators reaching the higher levels of the Emperor Realm has declined, but even so, the essence energy on the heavenly road remains unbelievably dense. In the past, some said that road was the path to godhood. But after the transformation of the rules of Heaven and Earth, it was suppressed."

Although Purple Smoke didn't go into detail, Chu Mo still felt extremely shocked. The path to godhood… What kind of grandeur must that have been in times past?

At that moment, Chu Mo looked at Purple Smoke and asked, "Did Senior Sister also walk the heavenly road back then?"

Purple Smoke gave Chu Mo a rare roll of her eyes, "I won't tell you!" Then she gracefully walked away.

Chu Mo's face froze in confusion as he thought: Did I say something wrong?
