Long Henmo... Long Qiushui resented Chu Mo.

Had Long Qiushui named himself this, it might have been somewhat acceptable. Under extreme oppression, adopting such a name to motivate and inspire oneself isn't too absurd.

In the cultivation realm, it's not uncommon for individuals to change their names to something similar.

The critical issue was that it was Chu Mo who named Long Qiushui!

Who plays like that?

It's both laughable and lamentable, leaving one at a loss for words.

Once word spread, Long Qiushui's dignity was certain to be in tatters. For the rest of his life, he would be unable to escape the shadow cast by Chu Mo. Even if Chu Mo were to die one day while he lived on, he would still have to carry this shame.

Unless Long Qiushui could begin to distribute power strongly, know his disgrace, and then courageously defeat Chu Mo one day, otherwise, this humiliation was un-washable!

Even the Long Family, his kin, could not openly seek reckoning from Chu Mo.

This was truly... utterly humiliating!

Those native cultivators in the Hanging City didn't have much of a feeling about this, as they were bound to leave the heavenly road eventually. No matter how startling their talents were, it had little to do with them.

However, the cultivators from the Heavenly Realm viewed Chu Mo with complex gazes.

Previously, not to mention those young adults, even these once prominent cultivators never took Chu Mo seriously.

Everyone present, at the time of Chu Mo's ascension to the Heavenly Realm, were already true immortals, the weakest among them... were at the realm of Heavenly Immortals. This level, for the cultivators of the Immortal and Spirit Realm, was simply godlike!

Back then, who cared about Chu Mo, a mere ascender? Even before the heavenly road opened, although many have heard of Chu Mo's name, they didn't take him seriously.

A cultivator who could stir storms in the lower realm would have to start from scratch upon ascending and was not a concern.

But what happened next completely dumbfounded everyone.

At the gates of Heavenly Dao Garden holding a jade card, his identity revealed, it stunned everyone on the spot. Zhang Shuangshuang, within the Heavenly Dao Garden, battling at the pinnacle of Heavenly Immortals with the cultivation of a great Luo Jinxian, shocked countless people, then in front of Qiushui, who voluntarily sealed his own cultivation, Chu Mo, also having sealed his cultivation and half a realm below Qiushui, exploded Qiushui with two punches.

Upon hearing this news, those who had not witnessed it firsthand responded—this is impossible!

Indeed, it was unbelievable, inconceivable as to why a young adult, being half a realm higher than the other, could still lose?

After stepping into the heavenly road, everyone was busy seeking their fortune, but news of Chu Mo continued to reach their ears intermittently.

Even Chu Mo's master and mistress became exceedingly eye-catching. Shortly after entering the heavenly road, they each received their great fortune, advancing from the great Luo Jinxian realm to the higher echelons of the Emperor Realm. Although it was unclear to what extent they had advanced precisely, it was obvious... they had both stepped into the higher domain of the Emperor Realm.

No such event had occurred for many years... Even those young adults who heard about it were envious, though they wouldn't express it.

And Chu Mo continually stirred up storms along the heavenly road, ultimately reaching Hanging City and even trapping a grand heavenly genius like Qin Xiaotian.

Only now did these grand geniuses from various parts of the Heavenly Realm suddenly awaken, realizing that the ascender from the lower realm they hadn't paid much attention to before had far surpassed them, leaving them in the dust. Now, even his silhouette was probably hard to catch.

Amidst the crowd of cultivators from the Heavenly Realm, a hushed silence fell, and the mockery and schadenfreude directed at Long Qiushui gradually faded away.

After accepting that fact, they suddenly realized that it wasn't Long Qiushui who was too cowardly, too weak, too inferior... but rather the young man who ascended from the lower world was powerful to a freakish degree!

He was a true monster!

In the past, they could look down upon him, but now, they could only look up.

Long Qiushui left, taking Tong Ying and Fang Hongyan with him, looking somber as they went away. To be accurate, he should be called Long Henmo because he had accepted that name.

Zhang Shuangshuang was nowhere to be found, and it was unknown whether she would ever return to Long Qiushui's side.

Other people gradually dispersed as well.

There were also some young cultivators from the Heavenly Realm with high status who knew Chu Qing, Shui Yiyi, Yue Qingcheng, and Hu Lie. They came forward to greet them, ultimately hoping to establish a relationship with Chu Mo.

Such a powerful young man had a limitless future, and if they could not be friends, then they definitely did not want to be enemies.

Chu Mo didn't put on airs, in fact, he had never done so. He responded to those who approached him with a smile. This quickly enhanced his reputation.

"Strong yet humble, Young Master Chu is even more admirable than expected!"

"I was a bit nervous initially, Young Master Chu's notoriety was so widespread, even a major figure like Qin Xiaotian had been severely tricked by him... But then, Young Master Chu smiled and nodded at me, I felt warmth in my heart, and I swore to diligently cultivate and take Young Master Chu as my role model."

"Young Master Chu is a great person, truly worthy of being a descendant of the once glorious Chu Clan."

In all the pubs big and small in Hanging City, everyone was talking about this. Chu Mo's reputation, following this uproar in Hanging City, became exceptionally good.

However, by this time, Chu Mo had already left Hanging City with a group, continuing toward the deeper parts of the heavenly road.

Chu Qing, Shui Yiyi, Yue Qingcheng, Hu Lie, and others were by Chu Mo's side, followed by dozens of cultivators from the Chu Family and Shui Family, as well as followers of Shui Yiyi and Chu Qing.

As for Yue Qingcheng's family, other cultivators had come too, but they spread out because Yue Qingcheng had chosen to follow Chu Mo, so she no longer needed those people for protection. The Tiger Clan had entered the heavenly road with more than just Hu Lie; according to him, there should be hundreds of Tiger Clan members on the heavenly road, but they too had dispersed.

In fact, both the Chu Family and Shui Family had brought hundreds of people into the heavenly road, but not all of them were here.

Now, the Chu Family and Shui Family cultivators present here looked at Chu Mo completely differently from before. Particularly the cultivators from the Shui Family, who previously had somewhat disliked Chu Mo. There had been many arguments within the Shui Family over that engagement, with the majority opposing it. If not for the command of the old ancestor, that engagement would have already been dissolved. But now, after so many events, they had to admire Shui Yiyi's vision when they thought about that engagement.

Because when Shui Yiyi openly expressed her love for Chu Mo, he hadn't been as outstanding as he was today.

The cultivators from the Chu Family looked at Chu Mo with eyes full of relief.

Chu Qing had no siblings, just Chu Mo as a cousin. The Chu Family's cultivators were all people who had always been dependent on the Chu Family and had been given the Chu surname. In other words, they were all serfs of the Chu Family!

Yet these individuals were also remarkable, and to this day, many of their elders had attained very high statuses. Yet their loyalty to the Chu Family had never wavered.

Thus, seeing that the family finally had a true heir, their hearts were happier than anyone else's.

Not everyone was so pleased, such as one of Shui Yiyi's followers, the tall and robust man—Fan Yang.
