“I don’t recognize him? That shouldn’t be the case. Although I’m just a lowly soldier, I’ve been stationed in the Heavenly Court for many years. I should have seen all those important figures by now. But I’ve been in the Heavenly Court for hundreds of years and I’ve never seen this person before. Tell me quickly, who exactly is this person?” Soldier B was quite puzzled.
Seeing this, Soldier A stopped being mysterious and pointed to the plaque above his head. Soldier B didn't react for a moment, looked up, and said in confusion, "I don't know how many times I've seen this plaque, and there's nothing wrong with it..." At this point, Soldier B's voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at Soldier A opposite him with a look of horror. Seeing this, Soldier A nodded very affirmatively.
"Wasn't Emperor Wangchen supposed to have been missing for hundreds of meters? How come he's suddenly..." At this moment, Heavenly Soldier B's face was also filled with excitement. Emperor Wangchen's name was a resounding presence throughout the Four Seas and Eight Desolations. Legend has it that even the current Heavenly Emperor had to address him as Emperor, which shows his status. Moreover, it is said that his strength was even more unfathomable. The previous Demon Lord was killed by him with a single palm strike.
Mo Mo was unaware of the two heavenly soldiers' discussion after he left. At this moment, he had arrived at the garden of the Forgotten Dust Palace because he felt a familiar aura here. However, when he entered the garden and saw the girl sitting on the swing under the peach tree, he was stunned. Although the girl's aura gave him a familiar feeling, he was very sure that he had never seen this little girl before.

Chapter 440 Reunion with an Old Friend
More than a month later, the last wisp of mother gold that Mo Mo had refined into liquid was also absorbed into the celestial cauldron that had turned into a ball. As the last wisp of mother gold liquid was incorporated, the ball of liquid, which had only turned into various colors but had not grown in size, emitted a seven-colored light, which completely enveloped the liquid.
This situation continued for half a month. After half a month, when the light dissipated, a round cauldron, more than one meter tall, with three legs, two handles, and a lid, quietly floated in the air. This cauldron was ancient and grand, and its body was engraved with many mysterious patterns, which were the traces of the Dao carved by the immortal cauldron.
Looking at the immortal cauldron covered with Dao marks, Mo Mo nodded in satisfaction. This was the Dao artifact that would accompany him throughout his life of battles, meant to help him attain the Dao. It couldn't be inferior. Fortunately, the immortal cauldron lived up to expectations. Having undergone a rebirth through fire, it would be able to evolve alongside Mo Mo. Reaching the peak of the Immortal King realm would be no problem at all. As for whether it could break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, that would depend on its own destiny. After all, for both humans and objects, the Immortal Emperor realm was the final hurdle over their heads. Without reaching the Immortal Emperor realm, one would remain an ant.
The Immortal Cauldron has been reforged, and the battle between Ye Fan and his group is unlikely to end anytime soon. Therefore, there's no point in Mo Mo staying any longer. Besides, if Ye Fan were to return, he would definitely be the one to suffer. After all, Ye Fan is considered his mentor, and while the results were indeed remarkable, his teaching methods were somewhat problematic, leading to a slightly distorted teaching style for Mo Mo. Now that the Immortal Cauldron has been reforged, he's ready to leave. He doesn't want to be "taught a lesson" by Ye Fan again. So, he waved his right hand, withdrawing his Dao Fire. At that moment, the Immortal Cauldron rapidly shrank to the size of a finger and flew from between his eyebrows into his Soul Sea, quietly hovering above the head of his primordial spirit within his Soul Sea.
After putting away the Immortal Cauldron, Mo Mo came to the hundred-meter-tall statue of Ye Fan and found that his avatar had entered a dormant state. Unless something major happened in Heavenly Emperor City, he would not wake up. Mo Mo called him several times under the statue, but there was no sign of him waking up. He smiled and thought that Ye Fan's main body's battle must have reached a critical moment. The avatar's primordial spirit should have been summoned away, leaving only a wisp of divine soul here. Therefore, Mo Mo did not disturb him any further. After saying "Until we meet again," he left the Shrouding the Heavens world.
After leaving the world of "Covering the Sky," Mo Mo did not return directly to the present world but went to a world he had stayed in for a very long time: the world of "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms." He stayed there for hundreds of thousands of years. Of course, this was not because he wanted to stay there, but because he had gone too far and had no choice but to stay. After all, he was a man who could travel through countless worlds, and the resources of countless worlds were inexhaustible. As long as he was diligent, improving his strength was as easy as eating and drinking.
So he accidentally messed things up. He exhausted his ability to travel through countless worlds and was trapped here for hundreds of thousands of years. When he recovered, he had already reached the Emperor level. Although he married a woman who was known as the most beautiful woman in the world and had a good time being the Emperor, don't believe it. If he hadn't been trapped here, he wouldn't have needed hundreds of thousands of years. He could have reached the Emperor level in just a few hundred years.
However, there are gains and losses. Although the time it took to advance to the Great Emperor level was greatly extended, it also allowed him to lay an extremely solid foundation. Moreover, he also left many precious memories here. Now, many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he has finally returned here again. He wonders if his old friend is doing well.
Looking at the palace at his feet, which was bathed in the pink glow of the blooming peach blossoms, Mo Mo's lips curled up slightly. These peach trees were the ones he had dug up from Zhe Yan's Ten Mile Peach Forest years ago. Recalling the scene when Zhe Yan pointed at him and cursed him for digging up the peach trees, the smile on Mo Mo's lips deepened.
After a while, he seemed to remember something, and muttered to himself while stroking his chin, "But this palace should have been given to Donghua and Xiaojiu's unborn child when I left. I wonder how old that child is now, and whether it's a boy or a girl."
"Well, let's go down and take a look first. It's been so many years, I'm really looking forward to it." With that, Mo Mo smiled slightly, took a step and the light and shadow around him flashed. The next second, he arrived at the gate of the palace below.
The two celestial soldiers guarding the gate were startled by Mo Mo's sudden appearance and quickly drew their spears at him. However, once one of the soldiers recognized Mo Mo's face, he quickly lowered his spear and was about to kneel before him, but Mo Mo stopped him. Clearly, he had recognized Mo Mo's identity. To the two soldiers' apologies, Mo Mo smiled calmly and said, "Ignorance is no excuse. Besides, it was my sudden appearance that caused your reaction. You were just fulfilling your duties. Well, you don't need to go and announce my arrival. I'll just take a look around." After saying that, Mo Mo looked up at the plaque above the gate.
"Forget-Dust Palace? I don't think this palace used to be called that. This must be Donghua's doing. Let's go in and take a look." Mo Mo was a little surprised when he saw the name on the plaque above the door, but he didn't care. After all, it was just a name.
After Mo Mo entered the palace, the heavenly soldier guarding the door who recognized Mo Mo was still trembling with excitement. This surprised another heavenly soldier, who couldn't help but ask him, "Who exactly was that person? Why are you so excited?"
“Oh, right. You only ascended to the Heavenly Court in the last few hundred years, so naturally you wouldn’t know him. But I’m sure you’ve heard his name before.” Heavenly Soldier A was still somewhat excited.
“I don’t recognize him? That shouldn’t be the case. Although I’m just a lowly soldier, I’ve been stationed in the Heavenly Court for many years. I should have seen all those important figures by now. But I’ve been in the Heavenly Court for hundreds of years and I’ve never seen this person before. Tell me quickly, who exactly is this person?” Soldier B was quite puzzled.
Seeing this, Soldier A stopped being mysterious and pointed to the plaque above his head. Soldier B didn't react for a moment, looked up, and said in confusion, "I don't know how many times I've seen this plaque, and there's nothing wrong with it..." At this point, Soldier B's voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at Soldier A opposite him with a look of horror. Seeing this, Soldier A nodded very affirmatively.
"Wasn't Emperor Wangchen supposed to have been missing for hundreds of meters? How come he's suddenly..." At this moment, Heavenly Soldier B's face was also filled with excitement.

Chapter 441 Visiting Friends, Returning Home
A long-awaited reunion is always a joy. Except for Si Ming leaving halfway through, Mo Mo and the other three chatted until dusk, which means they talked for a whole afternoon. They only stopped chatting when Xiao Jiu Jiu called out that she was hungry. What made Mo Mo both amused and exasperated was that as soon as the chat ended, Xiao Jiu Jiu dragged him to the kitchen and made him in charge of making dinner for the night.
Upon seeing this, Feng Jiu, who was following closely behind, couldn't help but laugh and scold, "You brat, how could you let your uncle (according to Donghua's generation, each is considered separately, otherwise Donghua married Feng Jiu, while Mo Mo married Bai Qian, who is Feng Jiu's aunt, and Mo Mo and Donghua are of the same generation, so if we really followed the seniority, it would definitely be a mess) cook?" However, judging from Feng Jiu's expression, she also strongly agreed to let Mo Mo be in charge of tonight's dinner, after all, she knew Mo Mo's cooking skills very well.
It was just a meal, and wouldn't take much time, so Mo Mo naturally wouldn't refuse. Besides, he was a modern person. Although he had spent much more time in the ancient world than in the modern world, influenced by modern life, he had a very open-minded view of many things. Therefore, he had no resistance to cooking at all. Soon, a sumptuous dinner was served, and they ate in a harmonious atmosphere. After a satisfying meal, Mo Mo and Xiao Jiu Jiu returned to the Forgotten Dust Palace. After returning to the Forgotten Dust Palace, Mo Mo casually found a room to stay in, and the night passed uneventfully.
The next morning, just as dawn broke, Mo Mo was woken up by Xiao Jiu Jiu, who begged him to take her out to play. After Dong Hua gave his permission, Mo Mo took Xiao Jiu Jiu and left. Not long after Mo Mo left, Ye Hua arrived with Su Jin, but unfortunately, Mo Mo had already left with Xiao Jiu Jiu, leaving the two who had come to visit somewhat disappointed. And they weren't the only ones disappointed, because they weren't the only ones who came to pay their respects upon hearing the news of Mo Mo's return.
However, all of this was no longer relevant to Mo Mo. At this moment, he had already arrived at Kunlun Void with Xiao Jiu Jiu. Mo Mo was no stranger to Kunlun Void; he had lived there for quite some time in the past, so he was quite familiar with the place and could be considered half-master of it. However, they were somewhat surprised when they entered Kunlun Void because Mo Yuan was not there. According to Mo Yuan's disciples, their master and mistress (Yao Guang) had gone on a pilgrimage and had not returned to Kunlun Void for two or three hundred years. Therefore, the disciples of Kunlun Void only returned occasionally.
After learning the news, Mo Mo took Xiao Jiu Jiu on a tour of Kunlun Mountain, enjoying the beautiful scenery before leaving. Their next destination was Zhe Yan's Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest.
This time, Mo Mo and his companions didn't miss their target. When they arrived, Zheyan was tending to the peach trees in the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest, accompanied by Bai Qian's brother, Bai Zhen. Both Zheyan and Bai Zhen were avid drinkers, and Mo Mo had only gotten into the habit because of their influence. As the saying goes, "A thousand cups are not enough when drinking with a bosom friend," the three of them drank for three days and three nights, eventually becoming completely drunk and passing out in the peach forest. Even Xiao Jiu Jiu was persuaded by Bai Zhen to drink a small jar and couldn't escape the temptation. However, Xiao Jiu Jiu had already passed out on the first day, so Mo Mo carried her back to Zheyan's cottage, thus avoiding the fate of her falling drunk in the peach forest with Mo Mo and the others.
Although all three were completely drunk, they were not ordinary people, so they only slept for one night and woke up the next morning feeling refreshed. However, Xiao Jiu Jiu couldn't hold her liquor and didn't wake up until the fifth drink. In the two days that Mo Mo was waiting for Xiao Jiu Jiu to wake up, he received some news from Zhe Yan and the others that excited him greatly: Bai Qian and the others had returned, and that was three hundred years after Mo Mo left. However, Zhe Yan also said that their state at the time seemed a bit off, not like a real descent, but more like an incarnation. Even so, it was enough to excite Mo Mo.
Then, amidst Zheyan's pained expression, Momo took away eight jars of Peach Blossom Wine that he had personally nurtured. Of course, Momo was not a stingy person. Over the years, he had brewed quite a lot of wine, which he couldn't finish all by himself. So, when he left, he filled one of Zheyan's small houses with the wine, making Zheyan and Baizhen smile from ear to ear.
After leaving the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest, Mo Mo and Xiao Jiu Jiu arrived in Qingqiu. As the son-in-law of Qingqiu, Mo Mo was very popular there, but Xiao Jiu Jiu was even more popular. They stayed in Qingqiu for a whole month before leaving. When they left, Xiao Jiu Jiu's spatial ring was filled with gifts, making the little girl so happy she was overjoyed. After returning to Ziyang Palace, she kept saying that she wanted to go back to Qingqiu every year. The reason for this was self-evident.
In the end, Mo Mo stayed in the world of Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms for more than a year. During this year, Mo Mo introduced the little fox and the little black dragon to Donghua and Zheyan. Of course, during their visits, Mo Mo also took them to see the beautiful scenery of this world. When they saw Zheyan's ten-mile peach forest, they finally understood why Mo Mo's two small worlds had large peach forests.
Parting is always painful. Donghua and the others were alright, after all, they were gods who had lived for countless millennia, and a few hundred years meant nothing to them. But Xiao Jiujiu was different. When Mo Mo proposed leaving, the little girl hugged him and cried her eyes out. It took Mo Mo a whole day to comfort her. But that's normal, since the little girl is still young and hasn't experienced this kind of thing many times, so it's natural that she would be very sad. Perhaps she will gradually change when she grows up and lives longer.
After leaving the world of Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, Mo Mo returned to the mortal world. His gains this time were considerable. However, he was not idle in the world of Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms. Therefore, after returning to the mortal world, he only spent a little over an hour sorting and processing these spoils. The three pairs of wings that looked similar to those of the fallen angels had already been refined into magical treasures.
To be honest, after being refined into a magic weapon, this thing is quite cool. Although these wings are not as powerful as the wings of the Kunpeng, they are no less impressive than Sun Wukong's somersault cloud. With just a gentle flap, one can travel 90,000 li. Moreover, these wings can not only be used for flight but also for combat. Their edges are exceptionally sharp, no less so than ordinary immortal weapons. Furthermore, Mo Mo added some other materials during the refining process, making them exceptionally sturdy, with defensive capabilities comparable to defensive immortal artifacts. In the end, Mo Mo gave these wings to the little fox for self-defense. However, the little fox did not like gray, so Mo Mo had to refining them again and turning them white.
Of course, Mo Mo did not show favoritism. He also crafted a sword for both Huiye and Wu Qian. Since Wu Yu did not like using swords or fighting, Mo Mo crafted a set of fairy clothes for her.
However, he had already refined most of these things in the Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms world, so after returning to the mortal world, Mo Mo only spent a week to finish them. At this time, there was only a little over a month left until the New Year in the mortal world. In the end, Mo Mo thought about it and decided to enter another world before returning to celebrate the New Year. However, he did not expect that this world would give him such a big surprise.

Chapter 442 Entering the Primordial World
Countless millennia ago, before the heavens and earth were formed, the universe was still a primordial chaos. Within this chaos, a powerful life was conceived, named Pangu. Chaos knows no time, and countless years have passed. Suddenly, Pangu awoke, opened his eyes, and found himself surrounded by darkness, unable to see anything. He also felt as if he were bound in a small, confined space. In his fury, he suddenly grasped the giant axe that had been with him throughout his life.
In an instant, a dazzling light shone from the chaos, accompanied by a tremendous roar. The giant egg that bound him was split in two. Some of the lighter and clearer elements slowly rose and became the sky; while the heavier and chaotic elements slowly sank and became the earth. At this moment, Pangu suddenly realized that his mission in life was to create the world. So, watching the world gradually approaching and trying to close up again, he held up the sky with his head and stood on the earth with his feet, using his body to support the entire world.
From that time on, the sky rose one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) each day, and the earth thickened by one zhang each day. Pangu's body also grew one zhang taller each day, supporting the sky and standing on the earth, for countless millennia. Finally, the sky stopped sinking, and the earth became thick and solid enough. But by this time, he was exhausted and collapsed on the ground. In his final moments, he suddenly felt that the world was too monotonous, and that he needed to do something for it.
In the instant after his death, his body underwent a dramatic transformation. His breath became wind and clouds, and the sounds he uttered became thunder. His left eye became the sun, and his right eye became the moon. His hands, feet, and body became the earth and mountains. His blood became rivers, his veins became roads, and his hair and beard became stars in the sky. His skin and body hair became grasslands and forests, his muscles became the land, and his teeth and bones became gleaming metals, solid stones, and precious jewels. His sweat became rain and dew.
In the chaos that knows no bounds of time, countless beings were born in this world. These beings were all different and varied, but they all shared one thing in common: they were born with knowledge and were born as gods. They were truly the darlings of heaven and earth. Among these lucky ones, some were very famous, such as the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Donghuang, Dijun, Zhulong, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and so on. Of course, the most famous was Hongjun, because he was the first person to become a saint and the only one to unite his body with the Dao.
As the saying goes, prosperity inevitably leads to decline. The extreme prosperity triggered several cataclysmic events that swept across the land: the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, the Lich and Demon Calamity, and the subsequent Investiture of the Gods Calamity. These calamities nearly ravaged the world, and many powerful beings perished. In order to prevent further devastation, Hongjun strictly forbade sages from emerging into the world, and the world was placed under the rule of the Heavenly Court. From then on, the powerful beings in the world went into seclusion, and the world returned to peace. At this moment, a young voice quietly descended upon this world, and this person was none other than our protagonist, Mo Mo.
As a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, how could he not come to see this legendary mythical world after gaining the ability to travel through countless realms? He was eager to see those legendary powerful beings with his own eyes. However, his immediate priority was to figure out the current timeline, as he had entered through a text description and had no idea what point in time this world had reached. This was the true primordial world, and although he possessed the strength of a True Immortal, which was equivalent to a Quasi-Saint in the primordial world, if he were to offend those powerful beings, he would only have the option of running away. After all, these powerful beings were not lacking in treasures; almost everyone had one or two hidden treasures. Therefore, it was best to keep a low profile.
The primordial world was indeed vast. Mo Mo flew in a straight line in one direction on a cloud for over an hour before finding a village. After asking the villagers for directions, Mo Mo headed towards the county town they had mentioned. This time, because the journey was shorter, Mo Mo did not continue flying on a cloud but instead walked. As for why Mo Mo chose to fly on a cloud instead of using the "walking" technique, it was naturally to keep a low profile and to follow local customs. Although flying on a cloud was slower, it was more concealed and less likely to be discovered by those below. Moreover, it was comfortable, and those who were a little lazy could choose to fly sitting or lying down.
Following the villagers' directions, Mo Mo saw a city in about ten minutes. However, the city was not large; it was probably just a small county town. The city walls were only three or four meters high, and there were not many people coming and going at the city gate. Moreover, there were no soldiers guarding the gate, making it look rather shabby.
Upon entering the city, Mo Mo casually asked a person on the street for directions. However, upon seeing Mo Mo, the person immediately knelt down and exclaimed that he was a god. In an instant, Mo Mo was surrounded by a crowd. Left with no other choice, Mo Mo used a little trick to make these people subconsciously ignore his presence. He then learned from these people that the City Lord's Mansion was at the end of this main road, so he abandoned them and headed straight for the City Lord's Mansion.
However, when Mo Mo arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, he couldn't help but frown. Mo Mo frowned not because the City Lord's Mansion was too simple, but because it was too luxurious. The entire City Lord's Mansion had a glazed tile roof, inlaid with gold and jade, and was more magnificent and resplendent than the modern Forbidden City. It formed a strong contrast with the low and dilapidated thatched hut next to it.
Seeing this, Mo Mo didn't announce his arrival and went straight into the city lord's mansion. Once inside, his brow furrowed even more. Everyone inside, even the maids and servants, wore clothes made of fine linen or silk, and all their utensils were precious. However, to Mo Mo's surprise, the city lord possessed the cultivation of a Nascent Soul cultivator. According to Mo Mo's speculation, the cultivation levels in this world were arranged like in most cultivation novels: Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Out-of-Body, Spirit Division, Body Integration, Void Refinement, Mahayana, Tribulation Transcending to Immortality. After becoming an immortal, one would be further divided into Loose Immortal, True Immortal, Profound Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Daluo Golden Immortal, Quasi-Saint (beginning the righteous path, a transitional stage), and Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal (i.e., a Saint).
Although this city lord is only at the Nascent Soul stage, which is only the lowest level according to the classification of all realms, don't forget that nowadays, saints are not appearing, quasi-saints are avoiding the world, and even Great Luo Golden Immortals rarely appear. Moreover, most importantly, this is the mortal realm, where the Great Ascension stage is already the peak. Therefore, the Nascent Soul stage is already considered to have barely entered the ranks of middle-level cultivators. In addition, this is a remote and wild place, so this is a bit strange.
Mo Mo did not conceal his aura when he entered, so the city lord's mansion immediately recognized him and greeted him warmly. Judging from his demeanor and the merit and fortune emanating from him, this cultivator, who looked to be only in his thirties, did not possess any fierce or malevolent aura. Instead, he radiated a faint golden light of merit, which piqued Mo Mo's curiosity. After talking with him, Mo Mo learned that he had been sent by the imperial court to guard this place and protect the peace of the local people. The city lord's mansion that made Mo Mo frown was actually built by cultivators specially dispatched by the imperial court, and then funded by successive city lords themselves to reach its current scale.
After listening to the city lord's explanation, Mo Mo finally understood the reason. It must be said that if cultivators were to build such a palace, it would indeed be a piece of cake, since they could use magic and supernatural powers. From his conversation with the city lord, Mo Mo also learned that the current time was after the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods.

Chapter 443 Heading to Flower Fruit Mountain
"After the Investiture of the Gods and before the Journey to the West? I didn't expect to miss so many wonderful things. But it's okay, at least there's the Journey to the West, right? And I always feel that there will be some surprises waiting for me here." After getting the information he wanted, Mo Mo left the city lord's mansion under the city lord's grateful gaze, because Mo Mo gave him several pills that the little foxes no longer needed as payment for the information.
Mo Mo learned from the city lord that he was currently on the edge of the Western Zhou Dynasty, which was located in the central part of the Eastern Divine Continent. Unlike the history of China, the Western Zhou Dynasty was slightly larger in size, only slightly larger than the whole of Asia. The ruler of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not an ordinary person, but a Xuanxian (a type of immortal). The Great Zhou Dynasty was full of sects, with no less than a million cultivators, and many of them were immortal-level experts. Therefore, even in this era where demons, monsters, immortals, gods, and Buddhas were everywhere, the Great Zhou Dynasty was considered a very powerful force. As a result, very few demons dared to harm the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Moreover, there were many powerful people among the human race, and they were backed by Nuwa, one of the six great saints. Therefore, the human race lived a relatively peaceful life. Mo Mo's goal was Huaguo Mountain in Aolai Kingdom.
That's right, it's Flower Fruit Mountain, the Flower Fruit Mountain where the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, the Monkey King Sun Wukong, was born. Mo Mo used to be a big fan of Sun Wukong from Journey to the West, so how could he miss it now that he's here? Moreover, Flower Fruit Mountain is a rare blessed land. He doesn't have a place to stay yet, and Flower Fruit Mountain is a pretty good choice. After all, the Investiture of the Gods has only just ended, and according to the timeline, there are still several hundred years to go. After all, the journey to the West took place in the Tang Dynasty, while we are still in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Mo Mo was quite a distance from Huaguo Mountain, but he wasn't in a hurry. So he rode a cloud and flew slowly in the sky, enjoying the scenery along the way while drinking some wine. He was quite content. When he came across some bustling cities, he would go down to explore, taste some local delicacies, and experience the local customs and culture.
However, Mo Mo was somewhat disappointed that although the vegetables and fruits of this era were given a special fragrance because they contained a little spiritual energy, the cooking methods of this era were indeed somewhat rudimentary. They were basically all boiled in a large cauldron, and meat was either boiled directly in the cauldron or roasted. Although the taste was okay, it was incomparable to modern cooking methods such as frying, boiling, stir-frying, and braising. Moreover, there were virtually no snacks. The only thing that surprised Mo Mo was the wide variety of ingredients, and the taste of them were all quite good. Therefore, Mo Mo collected quite a lot of them along the way.
However, after a few days of wandering around, the little black dragon and her companions lost interest. Although the place was vast, the layout of each city and the things it had were actually quite similar. So after a few days, once the novelty wore off, the group returned to their small world and only came out occasionally.
And so, Mo Mo leisurely traveled for over a month before finally entering the territory of Aolai Kingdom. Aolai Kingdom was not much different from the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the demons and monsters in Aolai Kingdom were much more active than those in the Great Zhou Dynasty. However, they were generally able to coexist peacefully with the human race. After all, this world was quite vast, and the area occupied by the human race was only a small part. The vast majority of the remaining area was still untouched primitive territory. Moreover, most of the demons and monsters now pursued the Great Dao and were not interested in harming or killing the human race. Of course, there were exceptions, such as the one who was now blocking Mo Mo's way.
This is a tiger spirit in the Integration Stage. It is said that demon cultivators can begin to take human form once they reach the Golden Core Stage, and can fully transform into human form once they reach the Nascent Soul Stage. The tiger spirit in the Integration Stage blocking Mo Mo's way can naturally transform completely. At this moment, the tiger spirit has transformed into a strong man who is nearly two meters tall and wields a giant spiked club that is nearly three meters long. Perhaps because he has been cultivating in the mountains for many years, this strong man simply uses his tiger skin to transform into a short skirt and wraps it around himself, looking almost like a primitive man.
After stopping Mo Mo, the tiger spirit didn't say a word, only brandishing the spiked club in its hand, sizing up Mo Mo with a ferocious look. From the murderous aura emanating from it, it was clear that this tiger spirit had slaughtered many living beings in its daily life. It would be better not to encounter such a monster, but once Mo Mo encountered it, he certainly wouldn't show any mercy. The reason he didn't kill it directly was because Mo Mo wanted to see how the monsters of this world differed from those of other worlds. To his disappointment, these monsters were not significantly different in general, with only minor differences due to the different emphasis on the laws. Just as the tiger spirit was about to speak, a cold glint flashed in Mo Mo's eyes, and the tiger spirit froze in mid-air. After Mo Mo flew away on a cloud for over a thousand meters, the tiger spirit quickly turned into ashes in the wind and scattered away.
Long after Mo Mo left, a snow-white fox shakily crawled out of a cave not far below where the tiger spirit had turned to ashes and vanished. It glanced at the spot where the tiger spirit had disappeared, then suddenly transformed into a handsome man in his twenties, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing several times in the direction Mo Mo had left. Soon after, the territory that had once belonged to the tiger spirit became the territory of the white fox—the very same white fox that had knelt in the direction Mo Mo had gone. In truth, Mo Mo had already noticed the white fox, but because it didn't possess any ferocious aura, he had let it go. Of course, Mo Mo was unaware of this. Now, he had finally arrived at his destination: Flower Fruit Mountain.
When Mo Mo finally found Huaguo Mountain, he understood why, despite being a rare blessed land, no powerful demons had occupied it. It wasn't that these demons didn't want to occupy it, but rather that they couldn't or dared to do so. The entire Huaguo Mountain was actually shrouded by a massive natural magic array, making it impossible for ordinary demons to perceive its extraordinary nature.
Those who could see the extraordinary nature of this place dared not enter, for any outsider stepping into the array's range would be met with a powerful pressure, an pressure equivalent to that of a Golden Immortal, constantly telling the outsider, "This is my territory." This was the reason for the situation. Moreover, there was a five-colored stone left over from Nuwa's patching of the sky, the very stone that gave birth to Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong was involved in the great events of the Journey to the West and the eastward spread of Buddhism, so the land here was at the Xuanxian level. Which ordinary immortal or god would dare to enter? However, none of this was a problem for Mo Mo. He easily entered Flower Fruit Mountain and saw the divine stone that absorbed the essence of the sun and moon.

Chapter 444 Taking Over Flower Fruit Mountain
Although this was a divine stone, inherently extraordinary, and protected by various safeguards, Mo Mo still managed to see it clearly with his powerful divine sense. At this moment, Sun Wukong within the stone had fully taken shape, and using his divine sense, Mo Mo finally saw the famous Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong. However, at this time, Sun Wukong was still just an unborn stone embryo. Although his body had taken shape, his primordial spirit had fallen into slumber, possessing only a vague awareness and unable to sense the outside world. However, it seemed that in another three or four hundred years, he would be able to perceive the outside world.
After seeing the divine stone that gave birth to Sun Wukong, Mo Mo toured Flower Fruit Mountain again. Flower Fruit Mountain truly lived up to its reputation as a rare blessed land, not only abundant in spiritual energy but also brimming with spiritual essences and rich in flowers and fruits. However, the Water Curtain Cave inside was somewhat rudimentary. Overall, though, Mo Mo was quite satisfied with Flower Fruit Mountain. So, after making some minor arrangements, he settled down. Just as Mo Mo was arranging the Water Curtain Cave, the local deity of Flower Fruit Mountain also informed the Heavenly Court of the matter.
Mo Mo had seen all the actions of the land deity of Huaguo Mountain, but he didn't care. After all, as long as he lived in Huaguo Mountain, the Heavenly Court would definitely know. Moreover, with his cultivation as a True Immortal and a Quasi-Saint of the Primordial World, as long as he didn't cause trouble, he believed that the Buddhist sect and the Heavenly Court would still give him face.
The visitor arrived a little earlier than Mo Mo had expected. He had just finished decorating the Water Curtain Cave according to his own preferences and had not yet had time to set up the formation on Flower Fruit Mountain when the visitor arrived. What surprised Mo Mo was that the visitor was not from the Heavenly Court, and the visitor's identity really surprised Mo Mo, because this visitor came from the Purple Bamboo Forest of the South China Sea and was none other than the extremely famous Guanyin Bodhisattva who saved people from suffering in later generations.
Although Mo Mo knew that someone would definitely come, and because the aura he had previously revealed belonged to the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, the visitors' strength would certainly not be low, what Mo Mo did not expect was that the Buddhist sect would actually send Guanyin, such a famous figure, in person. However, this also shows how much the Buddhist sect values the pilgrimage.
At this moment, Guanyin stood on the lotus platform, radiating a soft light. A huge golden wheel of merit floated behind her head, and she exuded an aura of compassion for all beings. Combined with the golden wheel behind her, it made people feel ashamed and unable to feel any sense of disrespect. Moreover, anyone who was bathed in her radiance felt an irresistible urge to repent for past mistakes and resolve to do good deeds in the future. However, this feeling only flashed through Mo Mo's mind and then disappeared.
When Mo Mo looked up and saw Guanyin's face clearly through the light emanating from her, he was indeed stunned. It wasn't that Guanyin was too beautiful and captivated Mo Mo, although Guanyin was indeed very beautiful, no less so than Bai Qian, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the world. Both her figure and appearance were perfect, and she also had a gentle, compassionate, and all-encompassing aura. But this was not the reason for Mo Mo's astonishment. What truly stunned Mo Mo was the age that Guanyin's appearance revealed. Through the light, Mo Mo saw an absolutely beautiful young woman of sixteen or seventeen. That's right, the Guanyin presented to Mo Mo was actually a young woman of sixteen or seventeen, not at all like the mature, caring older sister in her twenties that is usually seen on television. So Mo Mo was stunned.
"Could this not be Guanyin Bodhisattva? Hmm, very likely. Although she came from the south, it doesn't necessarily mean she is Guanyin Bodhisattva. Hmm, it must be right. After all, there are many Bodhisattvas in Buddhism. It seems that in the TV series 'Spring Bright Pigsy,' one of the Jade Emperor's daughters was enlightened and turned into Tie Guanyin. So this definitely isn't Guanyin Bodhisattva." After regaining his senses, Mo Mo tried hard to convince himself that the young girl in front of him was not Guanyin Bodhisattva.
At this moment, the female Bodhisattva standing quietly above Mo Mo frowned slightly when she saw the inscrutable expression on Mo Mo's face. After Mo Mo appeared, he stared at her intently for a moment, then lowered his head as if deep in thought, seemingly ignoring her completely. This behavior annoyed her slightly, but being Guanyin Bodhisattva, she quickly regained her composure. In her mind, she was constantly calculating and deducing Mo Mo's origins, while also pondering which force might be trying to interfere in the Journey to the West. Thus, the scene fell into an eerie stillness.
However, to Guanyin Bodhisattva's horror, she calculated for a long time but could not find any information about Mo Mo at all, as if Mo Mo did not exist in this world. There are only two possibilities for this result: one is that Mo Mo himself is a super powerful being with a cultivation level far exceeding hers, so she naturally cannot calculate Mo Mo's information; the other is that a super powerful being behind Mo Mo has taken action to cover up Mo Mo's information.
