Ye Mo returned to the thriving Mo Yue Immortal Sect, reuniting with his wives, daughters, and friends amid visits from major sects. Ye Ling expressed worry for her brother Ye Zifeng and asked Ye Mo to search for him, while Yimo requested help tracking the dangerous nine-headed void devouring bug that once threatened her. Ye Mo's spirit sense scan missed their targets but spotted old acquaintances, prompting him and Ye Ling to confront two women in Yuan Le Heaven who regretted their ties to Ye Zifeng.

“Nana, tell me where Zifeng went?” Ye Ling pleaded desperately.

Cheng Nana lowered her head. “I have no connection with him. I don’t know his whereabouts.”

Nangong Xiaodai spoke up, “My Nangong family fell entirely into his grasp. He arrived in the immortal realm ahead of me. By the time I located him, he possessed abstruse immortal power. Back then, he was alongside Wen Caiyi and appeared to have a powerful master.”

Suddenly, Nangong Xiaodai seemed to grasp something. The gloom on her face vanished instantly. She bowed toward Ye Mo and declared, “I was going to question Cheng Nana earlier, but now there’s no need. Sect leader Ye, I’ll take my leave.”

Ye Mo remained silent as she departed.

Next, Cheng Nana bowed to Ye Mo. “Brother Ye, Ye Ling, I’m leaving too.”

“Brother, let’s head back,” Ye Ling said, her voice filled with sorrow. She couldn’t bear seeing her second brother turn out this way. Both Nangong Xiaodai and Cheng Nana were wonderful women. Why must her second brother act like this? Despite his tough times on Luo Yue Continent, so many years had flown by. He was an immortal now.

“Let’s go,” Ye Mo replied, ripping open space and returning to Mo Yue Immortal Sect in a flash.

Ye Mo had always regarded Ye Zifeng as a brother.

Yet, from the moment Ye Zifeng confessed to Nangong Fei that his intent to kill stemmed not from any mix-up with Cheng Nana but from coveting his secrets, Ye Mo viewed him as utterly alien.

Coveting his secrets meant nothing less than seeking his life. Ye Mo had never wronged Ye Zifeng, yet he showed such ruthless intent.

Upon his return, Ye Mo spotted Li Xiu approaching. Luo Ying and the others were chatting with her.

Li Xiu rose promptly upon seeing Ye Mo enter. “Immortal friend Ye...”

Ye Mo anticipated her question. “Big palace lord, Qing Ru has achieved dao vindication. She’s off in the Void Marketplace, seeking her path through trials, so she didn’t return with me.”

Gazing at Ye Mo’s wives, Li Xiu let out a sigh. She had left Qing Ru with Ye Mo hoping she’d become his dao partner, but it appeared her hopes were in vain.

She quickly dismissed the thought and continued, “Immortal friend Ye, I heard Jingwen mention you planned to mend the 33 heavens?”

Ye Mo nodded. “Indeed, I once thought that way, but I’ve reconsidered. The 33 heavens feels perfect as is—no worse than a full-fledged immortal realm.”

After returning from the nether realm, Ye Mo sensed the immortal realm might not require mending. Unlike the Divine Dao Realm, which would collapse without repairs, the immortal realm’s 33 heavens progressed logically from lower to higher levels.

The 33 heavens operated more stably, though unsuited for dao vindication. With over half the Divine Dao Realm restored, peak immortal emperor cultivators could head there for vindication. Lingering in the immortal realm for it would flood the place with divine emperors, potentially shattering it once more.

Ye Mo had no desire for the immortal realm to host excessive dao moulding divine emperors.

Li Xiu nodded in agreement. “I share your view. The 33 heavens aligns seamlessly with heaven dao—no repairs needed.”

Moments later, Li Xiu grew visibly anxious. Ye Mo, aware of her concern for Qing Ru, produced a formation flag. “Big palace lord, this lets you return via the Divine Dao Realm tunnel, though just once. I no longer need it—please take it.”

“Many thanks, immortal friend Ye.” Li Xiu accepted it without hesitation, expressing deep gratitude.

Clutching the formation flag, she appeared far more at ease. After lingering a bit longer, she stood and departed.

Once she was gone, Ye Mo gathered Luo Ying and the others, handing each a jade card he had crafted.

“Dad, what’s this?” Yimo inquired.

Mu Xiaoyun smiled. “It’s a teleportation jade card for the Golden Page World. Wanqing and I used one from the Divine Dao Realm to reach the Golden Page World and then come here to Mo Yue Immortal Sect.”

“Only Shadowless and little ginseng are there for fun—it’s too empty. Better to stay out here,” Yimo remarked, though she still wore the jade card around her neck.

Luo Ying, who knew Ye Mo best, asked directly, “Are you about to leave?”

Ye Mo affirmed with a nod. “I must visit the phoenix race. You can join me or reach me in the Golden Page World anytime via the jade card.”

“Stay safe. Cultivation resources abound here—we’ll await your return,” Luo Ying and the rest replied. They understood Ye Mo’s purpose at the phoenix race: securing allies for the battle in a century.

This time, worry was minimal since they could reunite with Ye Mo whenever needed.

...

Alone in the void, Ye Mo journeyed aboard the Mo Yue boat. Although his sea of consciousness spanned realms, mighty realm protection formations shielded every race’s domain. Spirit sense failed to pierce them. Tearing space to reach the phoenix race would spark provocation, not secure allies.

Fortune favored him as the Mo Yue boat raced at blinding speed under his command. In only a handful of days, he neared the phoenix race’s outer edges.

The moment Ye Mo stored his boat beyond the realm protection formation, watchful eyes spotted him. A plain-looking man with a red facial mark noticed Ye Mo. Though merely at immortal emperor power, this individual parted the formation without a single question to Ye Mo.

“May I ask if you are Pill Divine Ye Qianbei?” The immortal emperor inquired with deep respect.

“You know me?” Ye Mo felt sure he’d never encountered this immortal emperor before.

The immortal emperor hastily replied, “Congyin Divine Emperor commanded me to await Ye Qianbei here. She stated Ye Qianbei would soon grace our race with a visit.”

Ye Mo pondered the choice she might have made.

In truth, Ye Mo desired Tang Congyin to stay neutral. He held no expectations of their support, yet he dreaded their alliance with the beast race. After all, the phoenix race branched from the beast race.

The phoenix race realm matched the dragon race in potency. As Ye Mo pierced the atmosphere alongside this immortal emperor, potent world laws and rich god spirit chi assaulted his senses right away.

Ye Mo sighed deeply. Beside the phoenix and dragon races, the Divine Dao Realm seemed frail. Despite deploying chaos tree and abstruse yellow chi to restore its life force, the Divine Dao Realm lacked a world meridian and couldn’t collect god spirit chi. A century more would pass before he could seize the World Mountain, with the nether realm sealed shut.

“Pill Divine Ye arrives late; I’ve waited ages.” A sharp, crisp voice echoed as Tang Congyin materialized in front of Ye Mo.

Red immortal robes draped her form. Beside her stood Tang Xiaoyu and Tang Qi, the latter radiating seductive charm.

Ye Mo smiled, cupping his fists in salute. “I’ve come to trouble Immortal Friend Tang; pray you won’t resent this intrusive guest.”

Tang Congyin chuckled brightly. “Silly you. I welcome you gladly. Xiaoyu’s your friend as well, now at dao actualisation, a mere breath from dao essence. I fetched her today—surely you’ll lend a hand, right?”

Ye Mo retrieved a jade bottle and presented it to Tang Xiaoyu. “Let this cosmic dao pill serve as the gift to catapult her into dao essence.”

Joy lit Tang Xiaoyu’s face at once. She thanked Ye Mo profusely.
