"Chu Mo, why don't you give this place a name?" Miao Yi Niang's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were moist as she spoke softly.

"Let's call it Piaomiao Mountain!" Chu Mo said, "The place where Piaomiao Palace is located, what else could it be called but Piaomiao Mountain?"

"Piaomiao Mountain… it truly fits!" Miao Yi Niang said, "From today forward, the Spirit Realm gains another genuine divine mountain!"

Then, Chu Mo looked at the group of women: "Yiniang, Xingxue, Xiao Ya, Huang Hui, Qin Shi, Dong Yu, Fang Lan, Ping Ping, Tianyue, Tianqi…"

All the women looked at Chu Mo in surprise, one after another, not knowing what he was going to do.

"Would you… like to join Piaomiao Palace, to become members of Piaomiao Palace?" he asked.

Qin Shi chuckled, "Haven't we already been members of Piaomiao Palace for some time now?"

Dong Yu nodded, "Yes, indeed, for quite a while now!"

Fang Lan said, "Of course, I'm willing!"

Ping Ping had no hesitation, "I'm willing."

Lu Tianyue looked at Chu Mo and gently nodded, "Willing."

Lu Tianqi laughed, "Why so formal? Of course, I won't refuse."

However, Miao Yi Niang and Shen Xingxue, the two women who had known Chu Mo for the longest time, both frowned slightly, looking at him as if they sensed there was more to come.

Indeed, Chu Mo immediately followed with, "From the day Piaomiao Palace was established in the Spirit Realm, you ten have become one of the Ten Great Patriarchs of Piaomiao Palace! From now on, whether in the Immortal Realm or the Heavenly Realm, it will be the same! You are all one of the Ten Great Patriarchs of Piaomiao Palace!"

Ping Ping and Fang Lan instantly looked panic-stricken, with Ping Ping unable to stop herself from saying, "How… how can I be worthy?"

Chu Mo looked at Ping Ping and smiled, "You managed to come here, even though it was for your family, but you did those things for me during my most critical time, and I have not forgotten."

"But those were just trivial things…," Ping Ping tried to object.

Qin Shi tugged at her hand, "You're a genius; don't sell yourself short!"

A look of gratitude flashed in Ping Ping's eyes as she now clearly understood the potential of this yet-to-be-formally-established sect. Becoming one of the Ten Great Patriarchs of the sect would be the greatest pride of her life!

Chu Mo turned to look at Fang Lan, "And you, because you're my direct disciple! Here, you represent me!"

Immediately, Fang Lan's eyes reddened, and she bowed her head slightly, her heart surging with emotions.

The women watched Chu Mo in a daze, with Shen Xingxue unable to restrain herself from asking, "And what about you?"

"We'll talk about my matters later," Chu Mo shook his head, "Next, Xiao Wanjun and Li Fangzhong will forever be the honorary protectors of Piaomiao Palace!"

Though these two great cultivators, on the verge of ascending to the Immortal Realm and entering the Spirit Refining phase, were not present, they would certainly not go against Chu Mo's wishes.

"The big rooster… will be the divine beast of Piaomiao Palace!" Chu Mo continued.

"Kid, Rooster Lord would like to have a serious word with you about this. Why should I be your divine beast? What am I...," the big rooster's clamorous voice could be heard from afar. It had been drawn here by the spiritual energy fluctuations, and upon arrival, it heard this declaration.

"You are a rooster," Chu Mo said.

The women all struggled to contain their laughter, reflecting on how the big rooster was perhaps the only one who could still afford to be so presumptuous in front of Chu Mo.

"I am of phoenix lineage!" the big rooster retorted angrily, then flapped its wings and descended from the sky.

After more than half a year and having consumed quite a few fortune-bestowing fish, the big rooster's feathers had finally grown back considerably. Although they were still somewhat short, looking rather pitiful, it no longer had to strut around wrapped in that tacky floral quilt.

"So are you in or out?" Chu Mo looked askance at the big rooster and asked with a sneer.

"In!" The big rooster answered crisply, surprising the women somewhat. But after saying so, it stared at Chu Mo and continued, "But listen here, I'm not doing this for your sake; I'm nodding because of their faces!"

"The big rooster is the best," Miao Yi Niang complimented.

"Yes, the big rooster is the most understanding!" Dong Yu added right away.

"The big rooster is the most beautiful!"

"The big rooster is the prettiest!"

"The big rooster is the most…"

One by one, the women continued to heap praises on the big rooster, flattering it to a degree that made it almost puff up with pride.

Then he looked at Chu Mo with a smug expression on his face.

"Fine, it doesn't matter whose face you're saving, as long as you have agreed, that's good enough," Chu Mo said with a smile, then added, "Fire Dragon Elder, in both the Spirit Realm and the Immortal Realm, you are also the guardian divine beast of the Piaomiao Palace!"

At this moment, all the women ceased their laughter, watching Chu Mo seriously, and they had also begun to realize something—Chu Mo appeared to be… entrusting them with a task!

Moreover, the way Chu Mo was doing it was unprecedentedly serious, and the arrangements he made were quite appropriate.

In the hearts of the women, they all harbored a thought they were reluctant to face: this time… it seemed they would truly begin to distance themselves from him.

It is said that the path of cultivation is a lonely one, but that refers to the genuine Heavenly Geniuses!

Because they were too familiar with him, although they knew Chu Mo was an extraordinary genius, they had never truly considered him as that kind of unattainable top-tier Heavenly Genius.

But at this moment, a sense of realization finally dawned in their hearts.

He was that top-tier, unparalleled Heavenly Genius!

One day, he would step onto a path completely different from theirs, to pursue his own Dao.

All the women present, being highly perceptive, felt a strong sense of reluctance and sadness surge in their hearts at this moment.

Chu Mo then said, "Hua Sanniang, He Feng, Shen Aobing, and Shen Aoshuang, the four Elders, are the eternal Elders of Piaomiao Palace!"

Chu Mo looked at the women in front of him, like a garden full of competing flowers, with each having its season of beauty. Any one of them possessed peerless grace and, with a smile, he continued, "The future of Piaomiao Palace will no longer just accept female disciples. Outstanding male disciples will also be permitted to enter our sect. But one thing—starting with the Spirit Realm, the true Patriarchs of Piaomiao Palace... will forever be the ten of you!"

"Then… what about you?" Miao Yi Niang asked again, repeating the question Shen Xingxue had asked moments before.

Chu Mo first fell silent, then lifted his head to look at the anxious and expectant eyes of the women. He smiled and said, "Me? I will always be the guardian deity of Piaomiao Palace!"

"Hey hey hey... kid, you're going a bit too far now!" the resplendent rooster glared at Chu Mo on the side: "Why are the little Dragon and I just guardian divine beasts, while you're the guardian deity?"

"Are you a human?" Chu Mo looked at the rooster.

"Of course Rooster Lord isn't human, but you're damn well not a deity either!" the rooster rolled his eyes.

"I will be, eventually," Chu Mo said with a slight smile, then addressed the women, "Rest assured, even if I must inevitably leave, you… will always be my dearest ones!"

Chu Mo spoke, and thinking of his family still in that bead, he inwardly said: You too, don't worry, I'll soon enter the Immortal Realm and send you to the Buddhist sect to listen to the sutras!

"Are you leaving?" Fang Lan looked at Chu Mo with some trepidation. If possible, she really never wanted to part with her master. Although now she had the ability to cultivate independently, she truly did not wish to say farewell to her master.

To say that everyone could ascend to the Immortal Realm, but by then, would they still be able to find their master's presence? Could they keep up with their master's pace? Fang Lan's heart was filled with sadness.

All the women felt a sense of melancholy.

But this was the way of the Cultivation Realm!

A thousand years of companionship, and yet there comes a farewell.

A month later, a majestic new palace had successfully been erected on Piaomiao Mountain.

Three months later, Piaomiao Palace officially opened its doors, becoming another emerging sect in the Spirit Realm. On this day, nearly all of the top-tier sects and clans in the Spirit Realm, those ancient families and sects with tens of thousands of years of heritage, sent envoys to express congratulations.

The Hu Family, Zhong Family, and Ping Family especially, had their family heads come in person!

For a time, the three words Piaomiao Palace thoroughly echoed throughout the entire Spirit Realm!

Even the Illusionary Divine Realm was attracted by this grand occasion, with many secretly paying attention.

On the day the sect was founded, the ten great Patriarchs of Piaomiao Palace made an appearance, stunning everyone present, with countless individuals wishing to join the sect.

But what no one expected was that Chu Mo, this miraculous young man, did not become the head of Piaomiao Palace.

"This sect has no leader. There are only the Ten Great Patriarchs." On the day the sect was founded, Chu Mo told everyone, "However, I will always be the protector of this sect. To attack it is to provoke me!"
