Fang Lan sighed and said with a bitter smile: "You still have family, and your family treats you well and has high expectations for you. Moreover, you want to follow your master, but they... likely won't be willing to abandon the hard-won family establishment to leave the Yanhuang Domain."

What Fang Lan said was true. The Le Family is considered an emerging family in the Yanhuang Domain. In the previous era of the Heavenly Realm, the Le Family was only a medium-sized family. Later, after Chu Mo reorganized the Yanhuang Domain, the Le Family produced several brilliant geniuses in succession, elevating the entire family to the ranks of a first-class family in the Yanhuang Domain.

Now, the Le Family has produced another unparalleled genius like Le Yao, and the entire family's future looks even brighter.

In this situation, because of Le Yao's decision, moving the entire Le Family away from the Yanhuang Domain is somewhat unrealistic.

Especially since Le Yao has basically become one of the candidates for the next master of Piaomiao Palace, and the other disciples in that sequence are not as exceptional as her. Becoming the next generation master of Piaomiao Palace is more or less a certainty for Le Yao.

In this scenario, the Le Family is even more reluctant to leave.

This doesn't mean they don't understand that leaving with Chu Mo might be better, it's just a habit. They are unwilling to start over. Because they know all too well the difficulty of starting over.

In this world, some people don't mind being the tail of a phoenix, just to see more scenery. For example, Huang Wushuang. But equally, some people just want a comfortable life.

Although Le Yao is young and likes to be playful, she is not stupid. On the contrary, she is very smart and quickly understood all the intricacies involved. Her tears flowed uncontrollably as she softly said, "Although my family treats me well, I really want to stay by my master's side. If my master leaves, I may... may never see him again. I will miss you so much, I won't be able to stop crying..."

Fang Lan's eyes were slightly red too, but in this world, apart from Chu Mo, no one else could stop her from staying by Chu Mo's side.

Just like Yue Qingcheng and Fairy Caidie, when they heard Chu Mo's call, there was no hesitation at all, they immediately decided to leave!

Fang Lan felt the same. Although she couldn't bear to part with this little girl, she understood that Le Yao staying would be more suitable than following her. After all, no matter how unwilling she was, this girl wouldn't want to be separated from her parents forever.

In the end, Le Yao still decided to stay, but the little girl's tears flowed like a river, maturing from a mischievous wild child overnight.

In the days that followed, Chu Mo began preaching and teaching the dharma to the new generation of Le Yao and some of the core middle generation at Piaomiao Palace.

Supreme preaching!

Such an event is likely unprecedented in the entire Luotian Great Universe. Everyone, including the likes of old Chu, the Drifting Empress, and the Demon Lord, these giants of the ancestral realm, couldn't help but come to join the fun.

Not to mention everyone else.

The massive square of Piaomiao Palace was packed with people. Even many members of the great families of the Yanhuang Domain tried every means possible just to come and hear the sermon.

Chu Mo didn't mind. Although his heart leaned more toward Piaomiao Palace, in reality, he had already transcended such sectarian views in the entire Yanhuang Domain. Because this is his hometown.

As he preached here for a month, there were constantly vast phenomena in the sky, continuously emerging with his sermons.

Indeed, heavenly phenomena, and golden lotuses emerging from the ground.

Through his sermons, Chu Mo even attracted his old friend, the little monk, from years ago.

In the end, he also brought back the big rooster.

Even many from the Immortal Domain of Luotian were drawn by the celestial phenomena stimulated by Chu Mo's sermons, hastening to come here.

This result was unexpected for Chu Mo.

With his current realm, opening an altar for sermons would indeed cause various phenomena across the entire Luotian Great Universe.

He is imparting teachings, sowing a seed for this great universe.

Just like the things Taishang Wuji and Immeasurable Buddha did. Planting a seed named hope, one day, this seed will take root, sprout, and grow.

And this, is where humanity's greatest strength lies!

This is called heritage!

Finally, Chu Mo left a large amount of cultivation resources and top-tier dharma instruments for this new generation of Piaomiao Palace disciples led by Le Yao. With these, even if all the high-ranking members were to leave, Piaomiao Palace would still remain the most top-tier existence in the Yanhuang Domain.

Among those disciples Chu Mo took in during his time in the Mortal Realm, some chose to stay. It's not that they felt nothing for Chu Mo; it's just that those who chose to stay already had their own foundations set in the Yanhuang Domain. The families they established were already deeply rooted here.

So, although they felt reluctant to part with Chu Mo, they decided to stay.

Of course, Chu Mo wouldn't force anyone. Among those disciples he accepted back in the Mortal Realm, except for a few, like He and others, the rest did not have such profound feelings for him. Their feelings for Chu Mo were more of gratitude and admiration. In the end, in their minds, Chu Mo became akin to a deity-like existence. He had become somewhat totemic.

Before leaving, Chu Mo spent an additional three days exclusively teaching Le Yao. After departing from Chu Mo, Le Yao headed directly towards the heavens to undergo her tribulation!

This scene was etched into the depths of countless souls. Even after tens of thousands of years, people would frequently recount this event. The God Chu taught Le Yao for three days, and Le Yao directly stepped from the Supreme Realm into the Holy Realm. Moreover, her progress on the path of cultivation became unstoppable, rapidly reaching the ancestral realm, becoming the first ruler of the ancestral realm in the Yanhuang Territory after the era of God Chu!

At this time, Chu Mo had already taken a large group of people and left the Yanhuang Territory. Leading families like the Shui Family, and clans like the Elf Clan, all migrated in their entirety. The properties they left behind were all given to the Piaomiao Palace.

Many other families almost migrated entirely as well, or, like Huang Wushuang, took all their direct relatives with them.

They were temporarily placed into the world within the Celestial Mirror of the Vault of Heaven.

Accompanying Chu Mo were people like the Elder Chu, the Drifting Empress, and the Demon Lord, along with some others whom he had attracted from the Luotian Immortal Domain through his teachings. Of course, there was also the big rooster.

Chu Mo shared with the big rooster many messages that could only be told to it. For example, about Spiritual Master Lingtong.

The big rooster was greatly moved, not expecting that the once carefree Wan Shitong who roamed the world was actually a manifestation of Spiritual Master Lingtong. Even more astonishing was that Spiritual Master Lingtong had orchestrated plans over ten thousand ages, and Shui Yiyi and Qi Xiaoyu were originally the same person.

"Those matters in higher planes truly defy imagination. Who would have thought that the great rooster would one day also enter that world? But, kid, I discovered a secret in one place. Would you like to check it out?" the big rooster said to Chu Mo with a mysterious look.

"A secret?" Chu Mo looked at the big rooster, a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

"What's with that look? What's the matter? Have you grown so accomplished that you look down on the great rooster? I'm telling you, this place will amaze you once you go there. It's really magical; several times I tried to explore it but couldn't get in. I have a feeling that it conceals great secrets!" the big rooster said seriously, with a solemn expression.

"Okay, we'll take a trip there after settling things in the Luotian Immortal Domain," Chu Mo agreed with a nod.

Although the big rooster often seemed unreliable, it would not speak nonsense about such matters. Over the years, its comings and goings were mysterious, and its rate of ascending realms was astonishing, now at the peak of the Great Saint Realm.

A place that even a Great Saint like the big rooster found extraordinary and couldn't enter piqued Chu Mo's curiosity as well.

Subsequently, Chu Mo returned to Luotian Imperial City.

As expected, Ji Qi and others still intended to stay. Including the ancestral realm ruler, the old emperor, the entire imperial clan wished to stay; almost none wanted to leave with Chu Mo.

Their status was too high!

Whether in terms of vision, breadth of mind, or scale, they were too lofty.

Now that the Ji Clan had become the imperial family of the entire Luotian Cosmos, they had no reason to leave in this context.

If the tunnel world were truly as they had heard in the past, a divine realm, then they might have had reasons to be tempted. But after Chu Mo informed them about the situation of the tunnel world, they instantly lost interest.

Since they didn't have a deep connection with Chu Mo, naturally, they didn't want to go.

So, in the Luotian Immortal Domain, only Zi Dao, Liu Yunfeng, Jiang Caiyue, the enchantress, Ye Qing, along with Chu Mo's parents, sister Chuchu, and Xu Nan wanted to go with Chu Mo.

Ji Qi knew that Chu Mo had given a lecture in the Yanhuang Territory previously and requested him not to favor one over the other. Chu Mo had to conduct a seven-day lecture here at the imperial city.

Seven days sufficed for this group of relatively higher realm cultivators.

By the end, many even showed signs of imminent breakthroughs on the spot. It must be said, the Supreme Realm's understanding of all things was truly profound.

For paths that are elusive even to Great Saint Realm or ancestral realm cultivators, a single elucidation from him could clear their minds immediately.

Chu Mo also left many dharma instruments, cultivation resources, and top-grade elixirs for Ji Qi and them. He finally asked Ji Qi to take care of the Yanhuang Territory appropriately.

Ji Qi naturally agreed to Chu Mo's request wholeheartedly; he would have done so even without being asked.

Finally, the day of farewell arrived; Chu Mo opened the gateway of the Celestial Mirror of the Vault of Heaven, and Ji Qingyu and the others first waved goodbye to their friends and family. Jiang Caiyue, with tear-filled eyes, looked at her family but resolutely stepped forward.

She yearned to explore those unknown worlds even more.

Elder Chu, the Demon Lord, the Drifting Empress, and others also entered the world of the Celestial Mirror of the Vault of Heaven with curiosity.

Then, Chu Mo, along with the big rooster, waved goodbye to Ji Qi and the others.

In an instant, they vanished from sight.
