Chu Mo looked at this group of people, middle-aged men, strapping young men, fresh-faced young girls, charming young wives, and an old man with a smoking pipe dangling from his mouth. Their bodies still emanated that simple, rustic air of the countryside. Their eyes, too, remained innocent and unadorned.

If one only looked at them, they'd indeed believe these were just a group of humble country folk, indistinguishable from the countless ordinary people in the world.

But they all bore wounds.

Very serious wounds!

The middle-aged man should have been brimming with vigorous blood energy, even though he was trying his best to conceal his injuries from Chu Mo. But Chu Mo didn't even need the Heavenly Scan to sense his weakness and exhaustion.

The smiling young wife appeared overjoyed when she looked at Chu Mo, but in fact, her internal injuries were even more severe than those of the middle-aged man.

Because in every battle, she always charged to the very front!

The robust young men, the old man puffing on his smoking pipe, all of them were trying hard to appear unscathed in front of Chu Mo and the others.

But their injuries couldn't be completely suppressed. They served as reminders to Chu Mo and everyone else of the fierce battles they had been through in this period.

There had been few messages from these people during this time.

So much so that many people outside began to think they might be searching for the last array or perhaps... they had already returned to the ancestral land of the Chu Clan. They hadn't found the last array, but they had certainly not been idling!

They were constantly fighting!

While Chu Mo was subduing and guiding demons; this group of people was exterminating them!

The old man with the smoking pipe looked cheerfully at Chu Mo: "Miss Qing said, Young Master found that old thing's lair?"

Chu Mo nodded: "Yes, I guess the last array should also be hidden there."

"Let's go. When the time comes, our group will hold off those two guys. Young Master will break the array; any problems with that?" The old man with the pipe was straightforward, immediately proposing the division of tasks.

"Your injuries..." Chu Mo looked at the old man: "Must be treated first."

"Aren't there plenty of top-grade elixirs with the Young Master? Hurry and bring them out." The young wife said to Chu Mo without reservation.

Chu Mo really liked this feeling, these people in front of him could already be considered the true core members of the Chu lineage. The more casual they were with him, the warmer he felt inside.

Because this is the way a family should interact.

Chu Mo took out a large number of elixirs directly from his body, even asking the gentiana for a few drops of essence fluid.

The gentiana did not refuse. World-Dominating Biao had been following Chu Mo the whole time, informing the gentiana and Huang Jianlan about Chu Mo's actions recently.

Now that Chu Mo was about to undertake the most dangerous task, the gentiana and other top-grade medicinal beings could only admire him.

"Young Master really is wealthy." The young wife gleefully received the elixirs handed over by Chu Mo, but when her gaze fell on the essence fluid offered by the gentiana in Chu Mo's palm, her laughter stopped abruptly, and she said with a shocked expression: "This... What is this?"

The old man with the smoking pipe was also stunned, looking incredulously at Chu Mo's palm that held seven or eight drops of faint white fluid.

There were only seven or eight drops of white fluid, each looking no bigger than a soybean, clear and translucent, emitting a faint fragrance. They spun slightly above Chu Mo's palm, seemingly alive.

The middle-aged man said with a solemn face: "This is the essence fluid of the Supreme medicinal being? No, that's not right..." Before he could finish, he shook his head, a look of shock on his face: "This, is it Quasi-Saint medicine?"

Chu Mo nodded: "Correct, it's Quasi-Saint medicine, and it should be okay for healing everyone's injuries."

The young wife couldn't help but put her hand to her forehead, looking at Chu Mo speechlessly: "Young Master, the way you put it... what do you mean 'okay'? This... this is more than okay, isn't it excessive?"

A robust young man muttered quietly on the side: "It's a bit of a waste... This kind of essence fluid could be used to refine life-prolonging medicine."

The old man with the pipe looked deeply at Chu Mo, then turned to the others: "Since it's Young Master's kind intention, let's all take some!"

Cheers erupted among everyone, and they all excitedly gathered around, first thanking Chu Mo, and then carefully taking a drop of the Quasi-Saint medicine's essence fluid.

By the end, everyone had taken a drop. Watching their satisfied expressions, Chu Mo felt a pang of discomfort inside.

These people looked like country folk who could be planting crops, but any one of them had strength surpassing that of emperors!

Perhaps they weren't all Quasi-Supremes, but they were definitely among the most powerful people in the world!

Were these people fools? Did they not know what they were about to face? The old man with the smoking pipe casually took on the task involving Blood Demon Ancestor and Qin Cang. Didn't he know that was undoubtedly a death sentence?

But none of these people had spoken even a word about it!

Facing the essence elixir Chu Mo gifted, everyone took it with gratitude, carefully receiving and consuming it, then their faces showed complete satisfaction.

Chu Mo felt a deep sorrow in his heart. This was a battle with no return, a battle fated... to end in tragedy. He was fearless, and so were these people!

In fact, there were many who were unafraid, but Chu Mo no longer wished to seek out so many. Against the existence of two Supreme Realm beings, no matter how many more people there were, it made little difference. At this moment, he began to understand why his grandfather hadn't extinguished the Qin family back then. He understood his grandfather's initial intention to leave a spark for the Cultivation Realm.

But unfortunately, the Qin family, including that Supreme Qin Cang, didn't understand his grandfather's thoughts at all, even going so far as to choose Demonic cultivation without reservation. For the sake of advancing their own cultivation, they did not hesitate to drag the entire Cultivation Realm down with them.

Compared to the people here, compared to the countless passionate cultivators, Qin Cang was truly nothing but scum! A degenerate! Garbage!

Chu Mo took a deep breath, and he made a decision.

He was going to transcend tribulation.

Chu Mo left behind Bian Kaiyu, left behind the World-Dominating Biao, left behind the gentiana, and also left Huang Jianlan. He even left behind the sealed golden ginseng and the countless top-grade Heavenly Crystal stones on his body.

World-Dominating Biao, gentiana and Huang Jianlan, he entrusted to Aunt Hongyue, and the golden ginseng, he also left to Aunt Hongyue.

"To gentiana, golden ginseng, they are of great use to my master. If, one day my master comes looking for you, please help my master," Chu Mo said to Hongyue. Then to the gentiana in the Supreme flower pot: "Please take care!"

The gentiana in the Supreme flower pot sighed softly, "If possible, come back alive."

Chu Mo nodded, "I will!"

World-Dominating Biao looked at Chu Mo, "If you do not return, gentiana, Huang Jianlan and I will guard the people by your side for ten thousand years. Then, we will leave."

"Okay." Chu Mo nodded.

At this point, Bian Kaiyu said to Chu Mo, "I will guard the relatives of my master until death. If there is a battle, I will die first."

Chu Mo looked at Bian Kaiyu, "Take care."

Chu Mo had left Bian Kaiyu behind precisely to help guard the people close to him.

He had once thought of taking Qin Shi, Dong Yu, and the others to train on the heavenly road, but now, there wasn't enough time. If he could return alive, everything would proceed as normal. If he did not, he could only hope that those people would be well taken care of.

Fortunately, from a general perspective, the situation in the Heavenly Realm was quite advantageous for the Chu Clan.

Hongyue looked at Chu Mo, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "Come with me."

Chu Mo nodded and followed Hongyue, leaving the City of Heavenly Domain and flying out for millions of miles, to a place sealed off, where Hongyue landed on a mountain peak.

Then, she took out a metallic sphere from her body. This sphere was hollow, carved as if gilded, and she said softly, "Leave a drop of your essence blood here, and I will exile it into the Chaos void."

Chu Mo thought for a moment and did not refuse.

His hand had only just touched the golden sphere when he felt a sharp pain, and a drop of his essence blood was taken.

Then, Hongyue began to draw arrays, her hands directly tracing an array in the void, her expression extremely solemn. In the end, her face even turned somewhat pale.

Pfft!

She spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, which astonishingly contained several drops of her essence blood!

Directly sprayed onto the array!

Boom!

An immense energy burst forth in an instant, and then the entire array, including the metallic sphere inside it, disappeared without a trace.

That metallic sphere contained a drop of Chu Mo's essence blood, but he instantly lost all connection with that drop!

"This metallic sphere is something the Drifting Empress found... by chance in the great cosmos from the outer realm. Its rank seems not high, apparently only at the level of a supreme artifact. But in fact, it's very special and mystical. Even the Empress said she could not see through its specific composition; it seemed to contain some unimaginable power. She stumbled upon it then brought it back. Later, she discovered it contained great secrets, but by the time she wanted to study it, the Empress..." Hongyue became pale and weak, sighing after speaking.

Chu Mo knew that was probably during the later period of the Drifting Empress. With no time or energy left to explore the secrets hidden within the metallic sphere.

Chu Mo gave a deep bow to Hongyue, having just witnessed the sphere through the Skydivine Eye only to receive a response of ungraspable mystery. If it weren't for knowing the rank of the Skydivine Eye, Chu Mo might not have been so shocked. But the Skydivine Eye, that's an ancestral artifact!

Even if it's currently incomplete due to some reasons and cannot reach the level of an ancestral artifact, it definitely surpasses a holy artifact.

If even it cannot detect anything, then this metallic sphere must contain unimaginably huge secrets.

Hongyue continued, "I have now used a secret method to exile the sphere, carrying a drop of your essence blood, back into the endless Chaos cosmos. And I have used my essence blood to cover up everything! Remember, do not mention this matter to anyone. This may be your last resort."

Chu Mo nodded, "Don't worry, Aunt, I understand."
