Ji Qingyu seemed to have thought of the same, shaking her head: "It has nothing to do with Zi Dao's mother's family, the Zi Clan. This Patriarch Zi has a very mysterious origin. No one knows what his true form is, but it's certain that he is not of the Human Clan."

"Patriarch Zi's sect is the closest to us?" Chu Mo asked.

Ji Qingyu shook her head: "Far away. Moreover, Patriarch Zi's is not a clan but an ancient sect. That sect's existence predates even our Luotian Imperial Clan, tracing back to the ancient age. Within that sect, non-human spiritual cultivators account for more than ninety percent."

"Back in the day, those who attacked the old ancestor—did Patriarch Zi also join them?" Chu Mo asked.

Ji Qingyu nodded: "Yes."

"I understand." Chu Mo said, "Then, the battlefield closest to us is the northern battlefield of Patriarch Heiyu?"

Ji Qingyu said, "Also not close. In fact, the two battlefields are about the same distance. The Heavenly Realm Sea where Patriarch Heiyu resides is extremely dangerous. Moreover, over there it is also an ancient sect, not a clan. But the Heiyu Clan's strength is equally formidable."

"Then it's decided." Chu Mo said.

"Are you sure it's no problem?" Chu Tianji watched Chu Mo and said, "Don't force yourself. Honestly, crippling the Ancient Nine Nether Clan is already enough to deter many forces."

"Not enough." Chu Mo looked at his father. "If our strength is even slightly weaker, will those forces just be deterred by us?"

Chu Tianji smiled bitterly, "Naturally not. Among cultivators, battles often end with annihilation. Mercy… often only breeds thankless wolves."

"Then that settles it." Chu Mo said. "Let's go, head to the Heavenly Realm Sea!"

Too decisive!

Even the senior Great Saints of the Imperial Clan scratched their heads, though their worry stemmed mainly from their fear of Chu Mo encountering any unexpected mishaps. This was a true precious gem; they couldn't allow anything bad to happen to him.

"Should you inform your uncle?" Ji Qingyu looked at Chu Mo.

"Just let him know," Chu Mo said. "Let's take advantage of those old undying ones being preoccupied and cripple their minions first!"

"Alright!" Ji Qingyu, being sharp and resolute, did not oppose after seeing her son's insistence.

The hatred toward these forces was even stronger in Ji Qingyu, Chu Tianji, and these direct Imperial Clan descendants than it was in Chu Mo. If given the chance to cripple their enemies, they would hesitate not a moment. But now, with their son's welfare at stake, they wavered only because of that.

The army marched forth, continuing its expedition.

On the way, Chu Mo shared with his parents his experiences in the Beidou Realm and the things he had accomplished after returning to the Yanhuang Domain.

Ji Qingyu and Chu Tianji were deeply moved, astonished that their son had truly attained the opportunity to transcend in the Beidou Realm. Though they had vaguely suspected this before—it was the only explanation for Chu Mo's extraordinary leap in cultivation—they hadn't imagined it to actually be true.

After this battle, Chu Mo's cultivation realm had already approached the peak of the Great Saint Realm. Such rapid advancement was utterly unprecedented. Even those paramount titans of old had never reached such heights at Chu Mo's age.

As for Chu Mo's future, the couple dared not make any predictions now, as it had completely surpassed their realms of understanding.

Concerning the prophecy made by Spiritual Master Lingtong, the two were now inclined to believe in it almost entirely.

After all, only such an extraordinary genius could truly stir the winds and clouds of the entire Luotian cosmos, right?

For the deeds Chu Mo accomplished in the Yanhuang Domain, both Chu Tianji and Ji Qingyu expressed their highest praise.

"You did the right thing. No matter when or where, one must never forget their roots," Ji Qingyu remarked.

"Those who drink water must think of its source. For a father, you bring me great pride!" Chu Tianji commented deeply.

Their son was too outstanding, which brought Chu Tianji pressure as well. Outdoing one's predecessors was joyful, yet tinged with a hint of poignancy. Fortunately, Chu Tianji had long since seen through such attachments during endless years of cultivation. Plus, no matter what, Chu Mo remained his flesh and blood.

Ji Qingyu and Chu Tianji, however, were unaware of how close Chu Mo had come to losing the bloodlines of both the Ji Clan and the Chu Clan within him.

Chu Mo hadn't mentioned this matter, feeling it unnecessary to bring it up, lest it evoke needless sorrow.

"A pity the Seven-Star Array Map was taken by Patriarch Beidou," Ji Qingyu remarked coldly. "If only we knew where that old undying one is hiding, we could drag him out!"

Chu Tianji said, "He's likely aligned himself with a titan. There's been no movement for such a long time…" As he spoke, he glanced at Chu Mo: "You must be extra careful. Patriarch Beidou hates you to the bone, and the secrets you carry will undoubtedly be revealed to the titan he's allied with. The Seven-Star Array Map, if I guess correctly, should now be in possession of some titan. You were originally a priority target for elimination for these figures, and now… the danger escalates."

Ji Qingyu expressed her worry as well: "Indeed, there are likely a dozen or so Supreme beings still alive in this universe. Some stay completely out of worldly affairs. They may seem irrelevant to us, but this doesn't mean they're benevolent."

Chu Mo suddenly asked, "Do you think these titans would use you to threaten me?"

The question stunned both Chu Tianji and Ji Qingyu. The two exchanged a glance. Ji Qingyu hesitated before saying, "This… shouldn't happen, right?"

"It wouldn't," Chu Tianji answered with certainty, looking at Chu Mo: "Because there would be no need."

"No need, huh?" Chu Mo smiled bitterly, grasping his father's meaning. Indeed, should a titan truly intend to take action against someone like him, intermediaries wouldn't be necessary—they could simply aim their gaze at him. In the vast Luotian cosmos, no matter how high and low Chu Mo might flee, he'd likely never escape their grasp.

When reaching that level, external opinions may not matter, yet there remains reverence. What they fear are things tied to immense karmic consequences!

Even taking action personally against Chu Mo would demand extreme caution, given the colossal karmic repercussions!

A person like Chu Mo—if someone claimed he bore no immense karmic manifestations, no one would believe them.

When several titans attacked the Imperial Clan's ancestor in the past, the resulting karmic backlash was so dire that even today, they've been unable to eradicate it entirely. This shows the terror of such karmic forces.

That truly marks the realm of being haunted by death itself.

Titans are not truly immortal—there are fears even they must contend with!

The difference lies in the scale of their vision and comprehension, which leads many to mistakenly believe titans are entirely fearless.

"So long as those ancient undying ones don't use you to threaten me, I am fearless." Chu Mo's words were delivered with such tranquility that even he found it surprising.

When did I start viewing life and death so lightly? No… not quite. I should still hold reverence for death. Chu Mo's mind surged with countless thoughts, forming and dissipating instantly in his current transcendent state, where pondering these matters unfolds within mere moments.

Chu Mo had never considered himself indifferent to death. Being unafraid didn't mean one could face death serenely. He still carried numerous concerns, plenty of attachments—people and matters he couldn't let go of. Therefore, he didn't think he could approach death with calm acceptance.

Soon, Chu Mo unraveled the root of the issue.

The **Star Mnemonic**!

When the Seven-Star Array Map was fully refined into the Beidou Star Formation, uniting his physical body, spirit, and soul into one, cultivating the immortal Star Form—at that point, even without ascending to the Supreme Realm, he would still become a transcendent existence!

Escaping beyond the three realms and stepping outside the Five Elements!

This revelation was the ultimate basis of Chu Mo's fearlessness embedded deep in his soul—a truth he hadn't noticed before now.

Ji Qingyu looked at Chu Mo, her voice trembling with emotion: "No matter what, I hope you'll live well in this world. Don't die, please—never." Saying so, she reached out and grabbed Chu Mo's hand, her eyes reddening.

She had missed being there during Chu Mo's childhood, which left her with too many regrets. Although reunited now as mother and son, both had cultivated to realms far removed from ordinary life—making simple, familial bonding extraordinarily difficult. Yet, a mother's heart as protector remained unchanged.

Chu Mo reassured her softly: "Don't worry, Mother. I firmly believe not all titans out there stand opposed to us. Surely, some wouldn't care about Spiritual Master Lingtong's prophecy."

Would there be such figures? Chu Mo didn't know for sure, but he felt compelled to say so, unwilling to let his mother worry or see sorrow on her face.

The immense warships traveled soundlessly across the silent cosmos, leaping across vast space at incomprehensible speeds. With each jump, they emerged in completely unfamiliar corners of the universe.

This was a supreme divine ability—much like Chu Mo's Great Saint Realm power to fold universes. These warships of the Luotian Imperial Clan operated in the same way.

All Supreme Realm war generals aboard were sealed; otherwise, they couldn't endure the force of the universe-folding power—their minds and spirit seas would collapse instantly.

Half a month later, the vast war fleet of the Luotian Imperial Clan found themselves at the edge of an expansive, boundless ocean.

The Heavenly Realm Sea!

Infinite cosmos, endless sea.

This sea was unimaginably vast, floating amidst the infinite universe. Even titans couldn't glimpse its edges with a mere glance.

Numerous stellar rivers drifted above the Heavenly Realm Sea!

The sea itself dwarfed even the largest domains many times over.

Its size was infinite, and its depths unfathomable!

The Heavenly Realm Sea harbored boundless secrets—even titans dared not claim complete knowledge of it.

In the depths of the sea, a frenetic battle raged, its noise carried on the sea winds. Countless powerful cultivators roared in fury, screamed in desperation, or emitted final cries of anguish and defiance before perishing.

Chu Mo's gaze penetrated the countless stellar rivers, landing upon a lone figure.

The figure, who had been wildly slaughtering nearby cultivators, seemed to perceive Chu Mo's regard at that moment, turning his head abruptly. Across the infinite stellar rivers, their eyes locked.
