Chu Mo looked at Fairy Caidie and realized today that this butterfly... was not just a creature of beautiful appearance. Her wisdom was every bit as impressive as Yuwei's! Incredibly smart! She could draw inferences from one case to all others, from a single point to a vast area, and then deduce countless matters.

At that moment, Fairy Caidie stood up, gave a small curtsy to Chu Mo, and said, "I have understood Master's thoughts, as well as the seriousness of this matter. Thus, Master, please give me one day's time. Tomorrow afternoon, let us meet here again. Regardless of the outcome, I will come to see you and give you a response."

Chu Mo thought for a moment and realized there was no alternative. Expecting a race that did not wish to show itself to the world to open its doors freely to him was indeed a tall order. He nodded and said gravely, "Then I will trouble Fairy Caidie."

"Not at all, the Heavenly Realm is not only the homeland of the Human Clan but also of the butterfly race. Although the butterfly race was born of the Demon Clan, we are not devils. We share the same hatred for those among the Demon Clan who start wars." Fairy Caidie looked at Chu Mo with a somber expression and added, "One more thing, what made it impossible for the butterfly race to survive in the Demon Clan's lands was not its cruel environment, but them."

After saying that, Fairy Caidie nodded to Chu Mo and drifted away.

Chu Mo sat in the room, lost in thought for a long while, and then, with a flash, he too vanished from the spot.

When that true immortal of the Human Clan later wished to see Chu Mo again, he found Chu Mo's trace had already disappeared from the room. He couldn't help feeling a bit wistful. At the same time, he made up his mind to diligently practice his cultivation, striving to make something of himself.

At this moment, Chu Mo had arrived at the highest layer, the residence of Ling Yuwei.

Seeing Chu Mo, Yuwei was delighted. "Ah, young master has come."

Chu Mo scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "What sort of young master am I? Don't make fun of me."

Yuwei replied seriously, "Since the young master now knows so much, it's only natural that the way we address you changes. I am Miss's maid, and Realm Spirit is Miss's guard. What should we call you when we see you, if not young master?"

Chu Mo shook his head with a bitter smile, not wanting to debate this any further. He looked at Yuwei and asked, "Does Sister know about the recent events outside?"

The term "Sister" made Ling Yuwei beam with joy. Then, looking at Chu Mo seriously, she said, "I'm aware of a few things. I heard that the Demon Clan has started to stir again?"

"It is not the Demon Clan that is stirring but the humans," Chu Mo said with a cold laugh. "Many who have fallen into demonhood can no longer sit still. They are desperately trying to welcome their masters into this world."

"You forced them to, didn't you?" Yuwei joked, then looked at Chu Mo with earnest concern. "You need to be careful. When it's critical, just enter the Illusionary God Realm. Remember, you came into this world in a way unlike anyone else. You can enter with your soul or with your physical body as you wish. I'll pass on a mnemonic to you later. Give this mnemonic to those around you so they can also physically enter this world."

After thinking for a moment, Chu Mo furrowed his brow slightly and said, "Would that affect the Illusionary God Realm?"

"Well, the impact isn't that significant, but this world has always been reserved as the young master's private domain. If from the start everyone could physically enter, then one day, if you wished to reclaim it, it might be difficult. However, if it's just those people close to the young master, then it's no big deal," Yuwei explained.

It was then that Chu Mo understood that the Illusionary God Realm wasn't inaccessible to physical bodies, but it was because of this reason. He couldn't help but chuckle bitterly. "Is the Illusionary God Realm a dharma instrument?"

Yuwei nodded. "Yes, a Great Saint artifact."

"A Great Saint artifact..." Chu Mo was inside incredibly shocked, at a loss for words.

Yuwei glanced at Chu Mo and said, "The Firmament Divine Mirror you possess is an ancestral artifact; the Chaos Furnace on you is a sub-ancestral artifact that surpasses Great Saint artifacts, and your Heaven Slaying should also be counted as an ancestral artifact. So, you shouldn't be so surprised by a Great Saint artifact."

Chu Mo stared at Yuwei, dumbfounded. He had always known that the three divine instruments on him were not ordinary, but he had not realized just how extraordinary they were.

Two ancestral artifacts and one sub-ancestral artifact, each transcending the Illusionary God Realm's top-tier dharma instruments!

Some things, you don't realize the vast difference until you compare them.

What kind of world was the Illusionary God Realm? Probably every bloodline cultivator in the entire Heavenly Realm would give their thumbs up. Although some among them might resent Realm Spirit's bias and protection of Chu Mo, no one could find any fault with that world.

Yet, such a world turned out to be a dharma instrument, and what left one truly speechless was that the level of this dharma instrument did not match up to any one of the three instruments Chu Mo possessed.

"Your Firmament Divine Mirror itself is actually a vast great world. However, it has undergone turmoil, and its original world was shattered. It needs rebuilding," Yuwei said.

"The world inside an ancestral artifact was shattered?" Chu Mo exclaimed, "What level of battle would that be?"

"Definitely a battle of that magnitude, otherwise, how would they have fled?" Yuwei sighed lightly, then continued, "I know very little about events at that level, all I've heard were from what Miss said in the past."

As Yuwei spoke, she transmitted a mnemonic to Chu Mo, then seriously added, "Remember one thing, no matter what happens, Realm Spirit and I are your strongest support. If that day really comes, I will empty the whole Illusionary God Realm and bring the people around you in. It will serve as the last refuge."

"Can you and Realm Spirit leave this dharma instrument?" Chu Mo asked Yuwei.

A hint of sorrow flashed through Yuwei's eyes, and then she smiled. "It was our own choice. Perhaps one day we will leave the Illusionary God Realm, but not now."

Chu Mo looked deeply at Yuwei. "If you need my help, just say the word."

"Rest assured, you are our young master, and if needed, I won't hesitate," Yuwei said with a smile.

Then, Chu Mo bid farewell to Yuwei and, after thinking it over, he decided not to share the mnemonic with those around him for the time being, because it was not yet the right moment.

He was considering not only Miao Yi Niang's group, his true direct lineage, but also those related to the Chu Clan lineage. Should that day come, Chu Mo thought, he would protect as many as he could.

The so-called bloodline talents were only allowed in due to the restrictions set by the Realm Spirit and Yuwei.

Afterward, Chu Mo left the Illusion God Realm, appearing in another ancient place.

This was a true land of antiquity, where the terrain seemed unchanged for several epochs, filled with abundant spirit energy, majestic mountains, rivers like jade belts, lakes like bright moons, and all things thriving with life.

Here, resided an exceedingly ancient family, the Qin family of the Heavenly Realm.

This Qin family was not that other Qin family. This was the Qin family of Qin Shi; the same deeply connected to the Drifting Empress; and even in the Immortal Realm, it was the Qin family whose member, the Seven Stars Great Saint Qin Sen, had fallen from the Supreme Realm to the status of a true immortal lying low in a cave, struggling to survive after being decimated by colluding with the Luotian Immortal Domain.

Speaking of which, the connection between this family and Chu Mo was truly deep. When Chu Mo first heard the Executioner of the Empress mention this family's old ancestor, he was indeed very shocked. But that wasn't the most shocking for him because the one who shocked him the most was someone he didn't even know how to face.

The ancestral land of the Qin family was here. Looking from afar, a great city nestled in a vast plain surrounded by mountains rose from the ground, its posture stern and broad, emitting a grand aura.

Chu Mo sat on a mountaintop, looking distantly at that city. Then, he took out a message slate and sent a message to Qin Shi.

"Inside your family, there is an old ancestor named Qin Qiu, who has become Demon Clan. All those related by blood must have turned into Demon Clan too. What do you think I should do now?"

This was the terrible aspect of the Demon Clan, one person's demonic transformation could 'infect' all with shared bloodline, turning them into blood slaves. The worst part was that they themselves might not even realize it, completely unaware they had become puppets of the Demon Clan.

Even Qin Shi might not know...

This was the last thing Chu Mo wanted to think about and it gave him the most headache.

There was a time he thought about not telling Qin Shi at all; if the Demon Clan truly descended one day, he could simply seal Qin Shi away!

But after much consideration, Chu Mo ultimately decided he must inform Qin Shi. Despite the apparent severance of ties with her family, they were still her kin. If she was not told, she might come to hate him in the future.

The response from the message slate was long in coming.

Chu Mo sighed, imagining the complex feelings Qin Shi must be experiencing at the moment. If it were him, he probably would react the same.

Anyone living a peaceful life, suddenly being told: you are no longer human... would probably collapse, right?

Just as Chu Mo was about to put away the message slate, Qin Shi finally responded.

"How could this happen?"

One sentence conveyed Qin Shi's incredibly complex emotions.

"I don't know either. But this matter is almost certain," Chu Mo replied.

"What do you plan to do?" Qin Shi seemed relatively calm on the other end.

"Seal," Chu Mo replied with two words.

"Including me?" asked Qin Shi.

"If it really comes to that, including you," Chu Mo replied with resolve because only by doing so could he save her.

"Okay, go ahead and do what you need to; whatever you do, I support you," Qin Shi's reply came through, and then a follow-up message: "I can ascend soon, when that time comes, just seal me up."

Though Qin Shi's physical body was destroyed and she had to re-cultivate a new one in the Illusion God Realm, her soul remained intact, and it was the soul that the Demon Clan's seal targeted.

Thus, once Chu Mo said it, Qin Shi understood immediately.

Chu Mo sighed, "We'll see when the time comes, perhaps, we have a chance to indefinitely postpone the arrival of the Demon Clan."

"I believe in you," Qin Shi replied.
