Ye Mo overwhelmed Jue Ya with his realm domain and falling mark sword rune, destroying the primordial essence divine emperor's foundation and nearly annihilating his soul. Spared at Jue Wuheng's plea, a humbled Jue Ya thanked Ye Mo before being sent to the divine dao void, where he mentioned an imprisoned green-robed primordial essence divine emperor. Ye Mo then returned to Mo Yue Immortal Sect, greeted by sect members and family, sharing a heartfelt reunion with Luo Ying.

After Ye Mo's return, Mo Yue Immortal Sect exploded in popularity, turning into the ultimate destination. Even positioned in the low heaven domain, Mo Yue Immortal Sect claimed the title of the most renowned sect throughout the immortal realm.

In these recent days, sects from the major immortal heavens flooded in to pay visits. The entire Gong Hua Heaven buzzed with unprecedented excitement.

The one brimming with utmost joy was Ying Qing. She secured the authentic 36 lightning sea orbs and wasted no time entering secluded cultivation to spirit control them.

Luo Ying, Ning Qingxue, Su Jingwen, Song Yangzhu, and the others finally reunited with Ye Mo, remaining glued to his side without pause.

Mu Xiaoyun and Chi Wanqing emerged from the Golden Page World. Overjoyed upon learning Ye Mo had reached Mo Yue Immortal Sect, they rushed out to greet Luo Ying and the rest.

...

On this particular day, Ye Mo recounted his thrilling experiences from the past years to everyone around. Noticing Ye Ling's dejected expression, he asked, “Ye Ling, are you okay?”

Ye Ling wiped her reddened eyes. “I wonder if second brother is alright now. He was so foolish before. I believe the harsh abuse he endured made him act without thinking of the consequences. Big brother, could you scan with your spirit sense to find second brother...”

Ye Mo sighed deeply. He viewed things differently from Ye Ling. Though Ye Ling and Ye Zifeng were true blood siblings, Ye Zifeng shared no relation with him. After his transformation, Ye Zifeng plunged deeper into madness.

He had witnessed firsthand Ye Zifeng executing Nangong Fei through savagely cruel methods. Yet, Ye Zifeng couldn't be faulted entirely, as Nangong Fei had proven equally vicious.

“Alright, I’ll search for him.” Ye Mo didn't wish to leave Ye Ling too disheartened. Without pressing reasons, he avoided deploying his spirit sense across the vast immortal realm, knowing it would reveal countless repugnant scenes. Far from its glamorous facade, the immortal realm teemed with pervasive darkness.

“Dad, you have to help me hunt down that nine-headed bug. That loathsome creature almost devoured me. I can't track it now, but if I could, I'd obliterate it on the spot...” Yimo urged.

This marked the first time Ye Mo learned Yimo had nearly been eaten by the nine-headed bug, prompting him to demand immediately, “Yimo, what exactly happened?”

Yimo detailed the ordeal from her initial arrival in the immortal realm.

“A nine-headed void devouring bug lurks in the immortal realm? How many heads did it have?” Ye Mo's face grew deadly serious in an instant. He grasped the sheer terror of the nine-headed void devouring bug all too well. While he could eradicate it with a mere flick, it spelled utter catastrophe for the immortal realm.

“It sported nine heads, though the color on its crest was a faint purple. It might have turned golden by now,” Yimo explained.

Ye Mo warned Yimo right away, “Yimo, you're an Immortal Emperor now, but if you spot that nine-headed void devouring bug with a golden crest, do not confront it. Golden-crested nine-headed void devouring bugs reign as kings of their race. You stand no chance against it.”

Yimo stuck out her tongue playfully. “I know, Dad, that's exactly why I'm asking for your help.”

“Did you see who rescued you?” Despite knowing the grey-robed figure hadn't intended to save his daughter, Ye Mo felt profound gratitude.

Yimo projected a shadowy grey figure. “I only caught his back view. He vanished in a blur, incredibly swift.”

Ye Mo studied the figure intently for a long moment before declaring, “I know exactly who he is. I benefited from him myself, even if unintentionally.”

Ye Mo unleashed his spirit sense. The helper was none other than the middle-aged man from the Ethereal Immortal Pond. He had gifted Ye Mo a star core flame, boosting Ye Mo's own flame. Though aiming to exploit Ye Mo, the man failed as Ye Mo detected the ploy and purged the spirit sense mark.

Evidently, the man had regained his cultivation prowess, sufficient to drive off the nine-headed void devouring bug.

Ye Mo's spirit sense swept from the low heaven domain all the way to the grand heaven domain. He found neither the man nor Ye Zifeng, but discovered Li Kun cohabiting with a man in a commonplace immortal city in Yu Yue Heaven.

Ye Mo recognized the man instantly as Feng Xi. Li Kun's cultivation hadn't surged much, yet she procured the immortal materials to reform Feng Xi's body. Ye Mo rejoiced for her.

Ye Mo chose not to intrude on them. He extended his best wishes. He knew Li Kun could easily reach him by visiting Mo Yue Immortal Sect if desired.

Ye Mo located neither the nine-headed void devouring bug nor Lu Wuhu.

Lu Wuhu had ascended to the immortal realm long ago, but he couldn't have ventured to the Divine Dao Realm. Ye Mo planned to locate Lu Wuhu, who held a fragment of the world mountain.

“Dad, did you fail to find the nine-headed void devouring bug? It's okay. Maybe that grey-robed man destroyed it.” Spotting Ye Mo's frown, Yimo consoled quickly.

“The nine-headed void devouring bug won't fall so easily, but I did spot two familiar faces. Ye Ling, let's go meet them.” Ye Mo rose and announced.

Lin Yiban caught these words and inquired, “Sect Leader, did you find Ye Zifeng?”

“It’s not Ye Zifeng himself, but someone connected to him. Yiban, go ahead and use your real name. If I’m not mistaken, Chu Jiuyu is likely in the Immortal Realm. You’ll encounter him someday.” Ye Mo stated.

Lin Yiban rose to his feet and declared, “I’ve resolved to seek out Ancestor Jiuyu first. If successful, I’ll restore the Chu surname.”

Ye Mo nodded and remarked, “You’re aware of Chu Dan from your Chu family, aren’t you? On my return, it seemed like I spotted her.”

At these words, Lin Yiban hurriedly responded, “Thank you, Sect Leader. Her talent surpasses mine by far. Chu Dan is now at the Mo Yue Immortal Sect.”

...

Yuan Le Heaven ranked as the top Middle Heaven Domain. Nuo Yi Immortal City held the position of premier city there, hosting the Dao Seeking Tower.

Within the foremost Immortal Rest Tower, two women occupied a chamber. They appeared composed on the surface, yet turmoil brewed inside.

“Nangong Xiaodai, we share no bonds. So, why did you come to me?” The woman in blue robes questioned.

Nangong Xiaodai let out a sigh upon hearing this. “Cheng Nana, I regret ignoring your words. A man who discards the wife who backed him from the start will discard anyone else too.”

These two were Cheng Nana and Nangong Xiaodai. They shared the same fate.

“I expected scorn from you. Why the silence?” Nangong Xiaodai gazed at Cheng Nana, bewildered.

Cheng Nana replied steadily, “I bear no ties to Ye Zifeng. However, since Ye Zifeng spared you, some place must remain for you in his heart.”

Nangong Xiaodai scoffed, “Position?”

Before Nangong Xiaodai could say more, a voice came from the doorway: “May I enter and take a seat?”

“It’s you?” Nangong Xiaodai stared in shock at Ye Mo and Ye Ling.

“Brother Ye, Ye Ling, how did you end up here?” Cheng Nana stood up in alarm. She had fled to the Middle Heaven Domain to escape the Ye family, only to bump into Ye Mo and Ye Ling anyway.
