Fairy Caidie's face of deep resentment suddenly vanished, and she looked at Chu Mo solemnly, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, as she softly said, "Although it's been a long time since we last met, I have always been concerned about your movements. Recently, you have been untraceable, and no news has been heard from you. Yet many things have happened in the Heavenly Realm, I heard that some families have fallen to demonhood entirely. Then, these families were either sealed or exterminated. Are you involved in this matter?"

She was indeed a very sensitive and intelligent woman, who could infer almost accurate information from bits of it. However, she had guessed Chu Mo's intentions wrong, but not entirely, for they were indeed related.

Chu Mo gave a wry smile and said, "Don't worry, I want to go to Butterfly Valley, but not to cause trouble."

"Oh?" Fairy Caidie's piercing gaze fixed on Chu Mo as she softly said, "Butterfly Valley has always been non-contentious with the world, truly non-confrontational, never involving itself in mundane affairs. It is thoroughly secluded. Could you tell me your purpose for seeking Butterfly Valley?"

Chu Mo thought for a moment and said, "It concerns the last Luotian destructive array."

Sss!

Fairy Caidie gasped sharply, her eyes wide, looking at Chu Mo in shock, "You're not scaring me, are you? Are you saying that the last Luotian destructive array is in Butterfly Valley?"

"That's not what I mean." Chu Mo shook his head and grimaced, "Rather, someone in Butterfly Valley knows this information."

Fairy Caidie frowned, closely watching Chu Mo's expression for a long time, before finally saying softly, "Are you talking about Fairy Caidie?"

This time it was Chu Mo's turn to be surprised, looking at Fairy Caidie, he asked, "How did you guess that?"

"It could easily be guessed because within all of Butterfly Valley, the only person who would be qualified to know such a thing probably could only be Fairy Caidie herself." Fairy Caidie suddenly looked at Chu Mo with a playful smile, "Because I am her disciple."

"What?" Chu Mo's lips twitched, and then he gave Fairy Caidie a few glances.

"It's quite a surprise, isn't it? But it is the fact," Fairy Caidie said with a smile. "However, getting to Butterfly Valley is not easy since it is enclosed. Moreover, my master spends most of her recent years in seclusion, intending to metamorphose again... aiming for a breakthrough, so she might not be willing to meet outsiders. Even I haven't seen my master for a very long time."

"But this matter relates to the entire Heavenly Realm," said Chu Mo.

"I understand and appreciate your concerns. There's something, Noble Sir, that you surely are not aware of," Fairy Caidie said lightly, "Regardless of what becomes of the Heavenly Realm, Butterfly Valley should be the safest place. Because, to some extent, Butterfly Valley leans closer to the Demon Clan. To be clearer, fundamentally, the Caidie Clan is of the Demon Clan."

Chu Mo stood there, astounded.

Fairy Caidie watched Chu Mo, continuing to say, "In many epochs ago, the Demon Clan had already entered the Yanhuang Domain. Back then, the Yanhuang Domain was a complete... world of perfect laws and abundant resources."

"Yes, that was the Yanhuang Domain," Chu Mo nodded.

"Fairy Caidie went on, "At that time, the Yanhuang Domain had many powerful beings. Though the Demon Clan was strong, it dared not act recklessly. It wouldn't dare to shout about exterminating the human race, or else it would have been wiped out long ago."

"..." Chu Mo was somewhat speechless, but he thought it must indeed be so.

The rules of the Yanhuang Domain might not have been as advanced as those of the Luotian Immortal Domain, but in that age, a supreme was akin to today's emperors, with too many supremes throughout the Yanhuang Domain!

Chu Mo vaguely remembered, back during the Kui Xu era, a supreme within the mountain had once said to him that back then, each supreme ruled over a million miles... A million miles? This number today seems too pitiful, doesn't it?

Which major clan of the Heavenly Realm today doesn't govern over hundreds of millions of miles?

But in an epoch ago, in that once glorious age, a supreme being could only govern a million miles? What does that imply?

It only implies that there were too many supremes in that epoch!

For example, the Realm Spirit mentioned the Kunpeng Family, which alone produced three supremes!

But where is the Kunpeng Clan now? They have long since vanished into the river of history.

At this moment, Chu Mo suddenly remembered the supreme inside the mountain belly, who seemed to say he had lived through more than a dozen epochs... Chu Mo suddenly felt something was amiss. It dawned on him that the being was not a supreme; it was probably a Quasi-Saint medicine, or even possibly... a Saint medicine!

Otherwise, how could it have lived through such an expanse of time?

Chu Mo couldn't help feeling a bit sentimental inside.

Across from him, Fairy Caidie's crisp and pleasant voice continued to speak, "So back then, all the beings from the Demon Clan approached the creatures of the Yanhuang domain with extreme caution. The tolerance of the cultivators from the Yanhuang domain was very strong, and they did not discriminate against them because of the demonic aura on their bodies. They treated them just like Beast Cultivators or plant cultivators. They showed equal kindness to all."

Chu Mo nodded, thinking, that kind of tolerance stemmed from absolute confidence! Without the confidence that 'the Demon Clan will surely not turn the tide', where would their tolerance come from?

Fairy Caidie continued, "The Butterfly Clan, actually, migrated into the Yanhuang domain around that time from the Demon Clan. Because in the harsh lands of the Demon Clan, there was almost no living space left for the Butterfly Clan. Because they were non-confrontational and beautiful, life was very tough for the Butterfly Clan in the Demon Clan's lands."

"Did it get better after they moved to the Yanhuang domain?" Chu Mo asked.

"How to put it, certainly better than in the Demon Clan, but..." Fairy Caidie said somewhat melancholically, "Beauty is sometimes a sin, so the Butterfly Clan sequestered themselves in Butterfly Valley and rarely had anyone walking outside."

"Including you, you were in Butterfly Valley too, right?" Chu Mo asked.

Fairy Caidie gave a charming smile, "Smart!"

So that was the case; Chu Mo thought to himself. No wonder most of the cultivators in the Heavenly Realm knew of Fairy Caidie, but very few had actually seen her in person.

"It was only this time when the heavenly road opened, I changed my appearance and came out once," Fairy Caidie said with a smile, "After returning from the heavenly road, I went back immediately."

"No wonder there was no news about you," Chu Mo said with a smile.

Fairy Caidie smiled, "People of Butterfly Valley don't really like to be in the limelight; I'm considered one of the more outgoing ones. Hmm, let me continue about the Demon Clan."

Chu Mo nodded.

Fairy Caidie said, "The Demon Clan really started to stir, actually a epoch ago, during the age of that divine war. That battle was too fierce, and the supreme powerhouses of the whole Yanhuang domain suffered losses of nearly ninety-nine percent. Initially, the Demon Clan also participated in the war. At that time, many demons viewed the Yanhuang domain as their homeland too. In the beginning, they were also actively engaged in the war and suffered heavy casualties. The change in attitude happened later when the Yanhuang domain shattered, and the tunnel connecting the Demon Clan to the Yanhuang domain was also destroyed. During that cataclysmic age, it was unsurprising that the remaining strong members of the Demon Clan began to harbor other thoughts. Some of their strong members believed it was the best opportunity for the Demon Clan to take over the Yanhuang domain. But unexpectedly, the top powerhouses of the Yanhuang domain were still immensely powerful despite their great reduction in number. The destruction of the tunnel made it extremely difficult for the Demon Clan to come over. Thus, the war did not last long and ended with the defeat of the Demon Clan. It was from then on that the Demon Clan and the Human Clan truly stood in opposition, becoming irreconcilable enemies. Later on, the rules of Heaven and Earth in the Yanhuang domain changed, further sealing the passageway between the Demon Clan and the Yanhuang domain."

This history is very ancient and was narrated eloquently by Fairy Caidie. What Chu Mo visualized was a Demon Clan completely different from what he understood.

"I am not speaking for the Demon Clan," Fairy Caidie said in a low voice, "Although the Demon Clan was cold-blooded and cruel, they were actually quite restrained during that era. For instance, the Blood Slaves..." Fairy Caidie looked at Chu Mo, "In that era, Blood Slaves were strictly prohibited. It wasn't allowed for any demon to do this. Only a few within the Demon Clan secretly cultivated a few Blood Slaves, implanting a few humans with demonic seeds..."

Chu Mo suddenly asked, "The primary purpose of planting a demonic seed, is it for control?" This matter, even the jade slip given to him by that Demon Clan supreme didn't mention, and Chu Mo was very curious.

Fairy Caidie shook her head, "No, the primary purpose is for themselves. The demonic seed, I've heard from my master, can control the host body while it resides within. Once it leaves the host, it can live independently. Once it is taken back by the master, it can be transformed into nourishment for the master. In short, this is a very sinister technique. In fact, it's not many within the real Demon Clan who use this method."

"But they passed this technique on to the Human Clan cultivators who fell to demonic ways, right?" Coldness flashed in Chu Mo's eyes.

"That's right, the Blood Demon Ancestor..." Fairy Caidie sighed, "Among the contemporary human cultivators who've fallen to demonic ways, probably only the Blood Demon Ancestor possesses this technique."

"You also know about the Blood Demon Ancestor?" Chu Mo asked.

Fairy Caidie looked at Chu Mo, "I know, you want to find your master, probably to find out where the Blood Demon Ancestor is, right? Could it be that the last Luotian Breaking Array... is hidden with him?" As she spoke, Fairy Caidie muttered to herself, "Yes, it could only be hidden with him. You really are incredible, very few people would have thought of this."
