Then, to Esdeath's astonishment, the blood she smeared on the jade pendant was directly absorbed by it. Immediately afterward, she felt as if she had formed some kind of connection with the jade pendant. Then, a lot of information suddenly appeared in her mind, and as soon as she came into contact with this information, she couldn't help but become engrossed in it. She sat down to the side and began to examine it in her mind.
Seeing Esdeath sit down to digest the information in the jade pendant, Momo snapped his fingers to release Esdeath from the "Mahapadma" spell. With that snap, everything around him and Esdeath, which had been frozen in place like a photograph, instantly returned to normal, as if nothing had ever happened.
Mo Mo glanced at Hei Tong, who was still munching on snacks. Hei Tong, noticing Mo Mo looking at her, quickly clutched the bag of snacks, saying defensively, "I won't share my snacks with you." Mo Mo smiled and said, "The empire is gone. You are no longer bound by anyone, nor do you need to obey anyone's orders, including the two of you. You are free." Mo Mo then glanced at Lan and Polus beside Hei Tong.
"Is the Empire dead? Freedom? Ha! My hands are stained with the blood of innocents. The Revolutionary Army will not let me go. But... but I really don't want to die. My wife and children are waiting for me at home." Polus covered his face with his hands, his words filled with despair, because he was telling the truth. His hands were once stained with the blood of innocents. Although he was only following orders, those innocents had indeed died at his hands, making him a priority target for the Revolutionary Army to eliminate.
"Don't worry, the country is in dire need of manpower right now. As long as you hand over the Imperial Arm, I can guarantee your safety. However, you must do good deeds with your wife and children to atone for the sins you committed before," Mo Mo explained, then turned his gaze back to Kuroto.
"And you, Hei Tong? Don't you want to go back to your sister's side openly and honestly?" Mo Mo looked at Hei Tong with a smile, but Hei Tong's pupils shrank when she heard Mo Mo's words. The small bag of snacks she was holding couldn't withstand the force and made a series of "crackling" sounds.
"Will my sister be willing to take me back? I've done so many things that made her hate me." Kuroko murmured to herself, her eyes vacant and her expression blank.
"Yes, you two are sisters, and the country will need you to protect it in the future." Mo Mo walked over and gently patted Hei Tong's shoulder, then took the food she was holding. Mo Mo's pat was not simple; it contained a pure spiritual energy that could completely repair the damage Hei Tong had caused by the use of drugs, so that she would no longer need to rely on drugs to maintain her normal health.
A few minutes later, Esdeath roughly understood the information in the jade pendant and stood up again. She looked at Mo Mo with a complicated expression, and after a long while, she finally spoke: "No wonder you are so powerful. You don't belong to this world at all, do you?"
“That’s right, I do not belong to this world. Is there a problem?” Since Mo Mo had given her the jade pendant, he was not afraid of his identity being exposed, so he answered Esdeath’s question directly. Meanwhile, Kurohime, who was standing next to them, was completely confused and had no idea what the two of them were talking about.
"Don't be so smug. You only got there a step ahead of me. Now I've also obtained such a treasure. I believe that one day I will be as powerful as you. At that time, I will definitely challenge you again. But for now, across all the realms, here I come!" After saying this, Esdeath returned to her original form. She walked arrogantly to Mo Mo's side, embraced him domineeringly, and then kissed him deeply. A few minutes later, Esdeath released Mo Mo with satisfaction. Then, to the astonishment of Kurohime and the others, a soft light emanated from her body. Then, with a flash of light, Esdeath's figure disappeared from their sight.

Chapter 416 Farewell
Esdeath left. After roughly digesting the information in the jade pendant, she excitedly activated its teleportation ability. She was eager to travel to the magnificent and wonderful world described in the pendant, and eager to test her skills against the experts of the myriad realms. She had been invincible here for far too long. As for Mo Mo, although she didn't yet know his exact strength, she understood that Mo Mo's strength was on a completely different level from hers. In their previous battle, Mo Mo had simply been toying with her. However, despite understanding this, the Queen's pride prevented her from accepting such humiliation. This led to the scene where Mo Mo was forcefully embraced and kissed by her. Mo Mo, knowing her temperament, had allowed her to do as she pleased.
Mo Mo licked his lips, savoring the taste from just now, and then said to the still dazed Kuroko and the others, "It's time to snap out of it. Your General Esdeath has gone to pursue the life she wants. I should go back too. Kuroko, do you want to come with me?"
Mo Mo's words finally snapped the three out of their daze. After a moment of stunned silence, they realized what Mo Mo meant and their eyes lit up. They had witnessed what had just happened to Esdeath and the inexplicable changes in the Supreme Imperial Arms. Moreover, the entire Imperial Capital had now fallen. If the Revolutionary Army saw them, these former henchmen of the Empire, a conflict would easily break out. But now the entire Imperial Capital was inhabited by the Revolutionary Army, and even if they were powerful, they would not gain any advantage in a conflict with them. So the three exchanged glances and silently followed Mo Mo.
Back at the Night Raid base, Mo Mo found that all the Night Raid members were present except for Najenda. However, when they saw the three members of the Night Raid team behind Mo Mo, they immediately assumed a defensive posture. Although they hadn't had much contact with the Hunters because of Mo Mo's wishes, they still knew quite a bit about them. Therefore, as soon as they saw the three members of the Night Raid team, they immediately assumed a defensive posture. If the three made any untoward moves, they could instantly subdue them. However, among the three, apart from Polus who was a little nervous, both Black Eyes and Lan were quite calm. Black Eyes even greeted the members of the Night Raid team warmly, and then ran up to Akame with her hands behind her back, calling out in a clear voice, "Sister."
"What?!"
Kurohime's "sister" instantly broke the tense atmosphere, replaced by deep surprise and gossip. Akame and Kurohime were also quite surprised by the scene before them. Akame said with some doubt, "Didn't I tell you? I have a younger sister named Kurohime. Before I joined Night Raid, we both belonged to the Empire's assassination squad."
“No, you’ve never told us about this. We know you were in the Imperial assassination squad before, so we’ve never asked about your background. We only know you have a younger sister, but we don’t know who she is.” Lubbock’s words answered Akame’s question.
Lubbock is currently riding high on his success. Ever since Momo mentioned Lubbock to Najenda and paired him with her, their relationship has rapidly warmed up. Now he's a real man, much stronger than Tatsumi, who's still a virgin. However, judging from their situation, they're almost there. Because of this, Lubbock has completely changed. He's lost all the playboy image he used to have. Otherwise, he would definitely have flirted with Kurohime in the past.
After listening to Lubbock's answer, Akame thought about it carefully and then nodded solemnly, saying with a serious expression, "So I really didn't say that. Well then, let me formally introduce you. Kurome, my sister, also comes from the Imperial Assassination Squad, just like me."
"Yes, I am Kurohime, Akame's younger sister. Please take care of me." After Akame finished speaking, Kurohime smiled and introduced herself to the Night Raid members again, bowing to them to show her formality and respect. Then, Ran and Polus behind Kurohime also introduced themselves to the Night Raid members, and Akame also gave the three of them a brief introduction to the Night Raid members.
Although the two sides had gotten to know each other at a basic level and the atmosphere had eased considerably, the Night Raid members remained wary of them. While keeping a close watch on the three, they would also occasionally cast questioning glances at Mo Mo.
Mo Mo knew they must be very confused as to why he had brought members of their rival Hunter squad to their base, so he explained, "The Empire has fallen, Esdeath has left, and the Hunter squad has disbanded. I think they weren't bad people, so I brought them back. The country has only just been established, and I think they can be of some use."
“We can’t make that decision ourselves. This is a big deal. The captain has to come back before she can make a decision. But I think she will definitely agree, because many of the Night Raid members may have to leave. After all, we also yearn for a peaceful life.” Brand hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to let Najenda come back before making a decision.
It wasn't until evening that Najenda returned to the base with Susanoo, exhausted. After hearing the news, she only thought for a few seconds before agreeing to the three's request. She had already learned a lot about the members of the Hunter Squad through Will, and the three in front of her were considered the most normal members of the Hunter Squad. Therefore, she readily agreed to their request. In the end, Polus handed over his Teigu and became a logistics officer, while Ran chose to become an officer, and Kurome, needless to say, followed Akame.
After dealing with the three people, Najenda solemnly gathered everyone together and asked them whether they wanted to return to a normal life or continue to stay in Night Raid. However, if they chose to return to a normal life, they would have to give up their Imperial Arms. In return, all their information in Night Raid would be completely destroyed, and no one would know about it except for the person involved.
However, at this moment, Mo Mo interrupted Najenda's words. He had Akame take out the ring that the Supreme Imperial Arm had transformed into, pointed at it and said, "Actually, I have an idea, which is to disband Night Raid directly."
Before Mo Mo could finish speaking, stern objections rang out. However, Mo Mo was not annoyed. Instead, he told them to calm down before continuing, "Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished speaking yet. What I mean is that after disbanding Night Raid, the original members of Night Raid will form a completely new organization. This organization will be based on this Supreme Imperial Arm, and will exist outside the country. Normally, you will be ordinary citizens and will not have to participate in the management of the country. Your true duty is to secretly monitor the country. You will only be mobilized when the national interests are seriously harmed. In other words, Night Raid will cease to exist, and it will be replaced by a guardian who will silently protect the country in the dark."
After hearing Mo Mo's words, all the members of the Night Raid Squad fell silent, seriously considering the feasibility of Mo Mo's proposal. In the end, Najenda did not agree immediately, but she was clearly tempted. She then sent Mo Mo's proposal to the Revolutionary Army Headquarters overnight. After a night of discussion, the Revolutionary Army Headquarters approved the proposal, but how to implement it would need to be discussed further.
Mo Mo stayed for another week before leaving. Before leaving, he not only infused several streams of spiritual energy into Leone's body, but also into Akame and the others, as a final gift before his departure. Mo Mo only told Leone when he left. In the end, Mo Mo turned and left as Leone waved indifferently. She had found the life she wanted most, and she had long since let go of everything that had happened with Mo Mo. Seeing this, Mo Mo smiled and left. The other members of Night Raid also found the lives they wanted, and Mo Mo didn't want to tell them, lest it cause them sadness.
P.S.: Finally paid it back! Here's the third update.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 417 Meeting Again
Parting is always sad, but Mo Mo has experienced such partings more than once, and has gradually become indifferent to them. So after wandering around the capital and then around the world to find some good ingredients and herbs, Mo Mo waited patiently for the little fox and the others. They had gone out to play and had not yet returned, so Mo Mo waited for three more days.
Returning home, Mo Mo was surprised to find someone there, and it was an incredibly cute little girl, like a porcelain doll. This astonished him, as he had never seen such a small girl in his family before. When Mo Mo saw the little girl, she also saw him. She glanced at him, exclaimed in surprise, and disappeared in a flash of light. Mo Mo was even more surprised by this, because it was clearly the light unique to spatial teleportation, and the destination of the teleportation was none other than the Qiankun Small World.
"The Qiankun Small World, could it be..." Mo Mo suddenly thought of a possibility, and his heart was filled with joy. He also disappeared in the hall on the second floor in a flash of light, and the next second he appeared in the Qiankun Small World. However, to his disappointment, things were not as he thought.
There were indeed people in the Qiankun Small World, but they weren't very big. Besides him, there were only two others, one big and one small. One was the little black dragon Zhu Sha, whom he hadn't seen for many days, and the other was a beautiful little girl who was only eleven or twelve years old. Mo Mo could tell the little girl's origin at a glance. Like the little black dragon, she belonged to the dragon race. However, the dragon bloodline power in the little girl was much stronger than that of the little black dragon back then, which clearly indicated that she had an extraordinary origin. Of course, the little black dragon now was no longer comparable to what he had been before. The little black dragon was now a Heavenly Dragon, equivalent to a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and also equivalent to the Great Emperor of Shrouding the Heavens. His strength was not to be underestimated.
Of course, this still couldn't compare to Mo Mo's strength, but it made Mo Mo secretly happy. He was right to have Nuwa take Zhou Shisi and the others. It had only been a short time, and they already possessed such strength. This level of strength meant that they already had a certain ability to protect themselves in all the worlds. Now he could rest assured.
The little black dragon's strength was already beyond what it used to be, so when Mo Mo appeared in the Qiankun Small World without any concealment, she already knew it. So when Mo Mo walked to the door of the wooden house, the little black dragon pulled the little girl out to greet him.
"Mo Mo, you're finally back! I've been waiting for you for ages! Hurry up and bring out all the good food you have. I haven't had your cooking in ages, I'm dying to eat it!" The little black dragon's eyes lit up the moment it saw Mo Mo. It let go of the little girl's hand and walked towards Mo Mo. Then it stopped in front of Mo Mo and stretched out its delicate, white hand, begging for something delicious.
"You're such a grown man, a dragon already, yet you still act like a child, asking me for food as soon as we meet. Aren't you ashamed at all?" Although Mo Mo was teasing the little black dragon, he didn't hold back with his hands. He reached out and put a lot of delicious food into the little black dragon's spatial ring. This was food that Mo Mo had made too much of in the past and saved up to eat as snacks in his spare time. Although it wasn't much, it was enough to satisfy the little black dragon's cravings.
The little black dragon had indeed been craving it for a long time. She hadn't eaten anything made by Mo Mo in ages. As a seasoned foodie who had been completely won over by Mo Mo's culinary skills, how could she not eat her fill now that she had finally encountered such a delicious meal? So, as soon as Mo Mo withdrew her hand, she took out a chicken leg from her spatial ring, took a deep, intoxicating breath of the aroma emanating from the chicken leg, and then, with a "whoosh," took a big bite. A few seconds later, only the bone remained of the large chicken leg. After throwing away the bone, she took out another chicken leg. This time, although she ate it quickly, she no longer wolfed it down.
Seeing this, Mo Mo shook his head and chuckled, saying with a smile, "Eat slowly, no one will take it from you. I'll make you more after you finish. People who don't know better will think I'm abusing you and not letting you eat. You look like a starving ghost reincarnated, and there are even kids watching."
Hearing Mo Mo say this, the little black dragon remembered that there was a little girl next to him. However, she was never the kind of dragon who paid attention to etiquette. Nevertheless, she stopped what she was doing, moved the chicken leg away from her mouth, quickly swallowed the chicken meat in her mouth, glanced at Mo Mo, and said nonchalantly, "Mo Mo, the master of this small world is also your master. He is the one that You Rong and the others talk about all day long."
After introducing Mo Mo to the little girl, the little black dragon turned to the side and pointed at her, still nonchalantly saying, "Xiao Rou, she hatched from the dragon egg you gave me. She's a five-clawed purple-gold divine dragon, and she's three years old now. But to be honest, I have to thank her, otherwise I wouldn't have met you. Luckily, I didn't miss out on these delicious little darlings."
As the little black dragon spoke, Mo Mo suddenly remembered that he hadn't found any trace of Zhou Shisi and the others, so he asked the little black dragon, "Now that you mention it, I do remember. Why are there only the two of you here? Where are You Rong and the others? Why aren't they here?"
"They're gone. If I hadn't been waiting for you with her, I would have left too. But don't worry, they're doing very well now. They even have a small world even more beautiful than this for them to live in, and it's incredibly safe. Although they miss you quite a bit, Sister Nuwa said that our current strength isn't enough to help you much, so they can't follow you yet. But it should be soon." The little black dragon took another bite of the chicken leg in her hand and said softly, her tone somewhat low. However, the slight disappointment in her eyes quickly vanished when she saw the chicken leg in her hand. As expected of a foodie, delicious food is the best elixir.
"Is that so? Are you coming with me or staying here to wait for them?" Mo Mo was a little disappointed, after all, he hadn't seen Zhou Shisi and the others for quite a while. But he quickly recovered. There was still a long time ahead, and plenty of time to reunite. However, he really missed Liu Xueqing and his parents and relatives, and wondered how they were doing in the distance.
"Hey, by the way, what have you been up to lately? Have you been flirting around?" The little black dragon seemed to have suddenly remembered something and asked Mo Mo with a gossipy look on her face. At the same time, she interrupted Mo Mo's thoughts about his parents and relatives who were nowhere to be found. Looking at the little black dragon's pretty face, which was full of gossip, Mo Mo felt inexplicably guilty, because he seemed to have been flirting around. Although he didn't take the initiative, the fact was the fact.
The little black dragon instantly understood Mo Mo's expression, and looked at him with amusement. Although they had already guessed something when they saw the changes in the house, the little black dragon was still a little surprised when the facts were right in front of her. However, she didn't care, because they already knew that as a strong person, he would never lack women around him. Even if he didn't go looking for them, someone would come to him. However, this did not stop her from preparing to extort a lot of money from Mo Mo.
"Sure enough, you really are a flower, attracting bees and butterflies wherever you go. But, I'm the easiest person to please, and I have a sweet tongue. If I can eat a feast every day, I'll have the energy to talk a lot." The little black dragon tilted her head back, raised her white chin, and gave Mo Mo an expression that said, "Come on, hurry up and bribe me with delicious food!" Mo Mo couldn't help but chuckle. In the end, Mo Mo agreed to her request, after all, it was just a meal and wouldn't take long.
Afterwards, Mo Mo summoned the little fox and Kaguya from his personal mini-world and let them get to know each other. Then, as usual, he stayed at home for a few days, took the little loli Xiao Rou for a tour of the real world, and then activated his teleportation ability again. This was not his first time in this world, and it left him with unforgettable memories.
P.S.: Today is my grandfather's birthday, so this is the only chapter available. Not having any drafts is a tragedy; even a slight delay can lead to missed or discontinued updates.

Chapter 418 Returning to Shrouding the Heavens
On a vast, boundless plain, a colossal city stands majestically, piercing the heavens. Its walls are surrounded by enormous stars, and above it churns a chaotic aura, so intense that even the starlight falling from the surrounding stars cannot fully illuminate it. This vast plain is divided into two completely opposite worlds by this city: one a lifeless wasteland shrouded in gray mist, the other a vibrant and thriving world. Suddenly, in a small courtyard at the heart of this magnificent city, a figure flashes by, and a young, graceful figure appears.
The young, elegant figure in a light blue robe surveyed the courtyard, his gaze finally settling on the still-blooming mulberry tree. A deep sense of nostalgia flickered in his eyes. He caught a fallen mulberry petal, examined it for a long time, and then gently blew it away. "Old friends, I've returned. How are you all?" With that, the young figure stood with his hands behind his back, a powerful aura erupting from him. Suddenly, another young man, dressed in white robes, appeared beside him. This man was in his early twenties, handsome and striking, with a captivating smile. His aura was no less powerful than the other young man's, and he possessed an imposing presence that commanded respect.
"After a thousand years, you have finally returned and even made a comeback despite the misfortune. Congratulations, Xiao Mo." The majestic figure smiled and congratulated the young man beside him. Judging from the expression on his face, the congratulations came from the bottom of his heart.
"Thank you! After a thousand years, I have finally returned. However, when I think back to what happened that day, I still feel a little scared. But can you stop pretending? I know what kind of person you are." The young figure in the blue cloud robe sincerely thanked him, then immediately said with a look of disgust.
"Tsk, kid, how dare you talk to your big brother like that? Getting a beating again? After all these years, do you think you've grown wings and can challenge your big brother now?" The imposing figure's demeanor instantly changed upon hearing this, cracking his knuckles with a smile. However, that smile was unsettling. The blue-clad figure quickly denied it, joking. He was all too familiar with that smile; he'd suffered countless losses under its influence, so he'd developed the same habit. Now, seeing that smile, he knew he was in trouble. This guy was definitely looking for an opportunity to beat him up. As the saying goes, as long as you're alive, you can always fight again. He was no match for the other, so admitting defeat wasn't a big deal. Unfortunately for him, the other had no intention of letting him go. Suddenly, the courtyard erupted in the sounds of fighting, and the blurry figures of the two filled the entire courtyard—the afterimages they left behind.
"Oh ho, no wonder you came back so confidently. It turns out your strength has improved quite a bit. But young man, you are still too naive. Your older brother here is no pushover either. I had some insights a few days ago and created a few new moves. Now let your older brother teach them to you properly: Fist Shatters the Void."
"Damn it, Ye Hei, have you no shame? You actually used a secret technique, and it's at the level of a half-step Immortal Emperor. You have the guts to fight someone of the same realm."
"A battle between equals? Since you've put it that way, how can I, as the elder brother, refuse? Void Annihilation, Kunpeng Technique."
Clang, clang, and boom—after a fierce fight, a deafening roar followed, and the afterimages in the courtyard vanished. At that moment, the figure in blue leaned against the cracked wall, while the figure in white stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an air of nonchalance and composure. However, the glaring footprint on his chest proved that the battle had not been easy for him either.
The white figure glanced at the footprints on his chest, a deep sense of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. However, his hands were not idle. Seeing the cyan figure opposite him stand up, he instantly unleashed his power. Soon, the courtyard was filled with the afterimages of the two again. This time, however, the sounds of fists hitting bodies and cries of pain could be heard intermittently. A few minutes later, with a scream, the cyan figure flew out with a whoosh, smashing the artificial hill in the courtyard with a loud bang. Although the young man in the cyan robe was now quite disheveled, his spirits were quite high, and he didn't stop talking. "Ye Hei! I have never seen such a shameless person. A Heavenly Emperor, huh? We agreed to fight at the same level, but you actually used Immortal Emperor-level techniques. I refuse to accept this."
"Huh? Do I have cultivation levels exceeding the True Immortal Realm? You're talking about fighting within the same realm, not that you can't use techniques and methods beyond that realm. Besides, if you can create them, you can use them too. I don't mind at all." The young man called Ye Hei said with surprise, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes, clearly saying, "I'm just bullying you, so what?" This made the man in blue furious, but there was nothing he could do, because the other party's strength was far greater than his. Since he couldn't beat him, he could only admit defeat and wait until his cultivation level improved so he could get revenge. However, he couldn't help but admire the other party's prowess, but what he didn't know was that the other party was also admiring his prowess.
Both were highly skilled individuals, and with a slight movement of their power, they returned to normal. Even the small courtyard, which had been in disarray and littered with rubble, was restored to its original state. After the white figure restored the courtyard to its original state, he waved his right hand, and a small table filled with fine wine and delicacies appeared under the Fire Mulberry Tree. The two then quickly sat down.
After a long separation, the two sat down without speaking, slowly savoring the fine wine and delicacies on the table, which were shimmering with celestial light. They didn't ask each other how the other was doing, because that wasn't important. Since they had embarked on this path of cultivation, it was destined that the journey would not be peaceful. So, as long as the other was still safe and sound, that was the best news. Besides, with their current strength and opportunities, as long as they didn't court death, it would be difficult for them to die. After all, one of them was a half-step Immortal Emperor, whose strength was almost invincible, and the other possessed the power to travel through countless worlds. There were not many people in these countless worlds who could completely subdue them. The young man in the blue cloud robe was Mo Mo, who had just arrived here from the mortal world, while the young man in the white robe was the protagonist of this world, Ye Fan.
After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Ye Fan suddenly asked Mo Mo, "Judging from your current cultivation level, you've come back this time to retrieve your cauldron, right? After all, you're about to break through to the Immortal King realm, and it should have almost finished digesting the laws contained in that attack. It's time to retrieve it and reshape it, otherwise it won't be able to keep up with your pace."
Mo Mo downed the immortal wine in his cup in one gulp and said with a smile, "That's true. Although I almost died back then, I also turned misfortune into blessing and obtained a great opportunity. However, it's better to take such opportunities sparingly, because one wrong move and you'll be dead."
Ye Fan smiled and nodded. He naturally knew Mo Mo's situation back then. If he had returned even a moment later, the drinking wouldn't have been like this; instead, he would have been drinking one cup and then pouring another to toast Mo Mo. However, Mo Mo was far too audacious back then, daring to confront a half-step Immortal Emperor when he was only at the True Immortal Realm. Although Mo Mo was a severely injured and dying half-step Immortal Emperor, he was only dying, not truly dead. If Ye Fan hadn't used the Immortal Cauldron, which had been nurtured for a long time and hadn't been used, accumulating immense power, Mo Mo would probably have been finished even if Ye Fan had returned in time. However, the Immortal Cauldron was shattered as a result and was sent by Ye Fan to be nurtured.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 419 Arrival at Ziwei
Somewhere in the vast wilderness of Ziwei Star, a monstrous leopard leaped from the grass and pounced on a sika deer not far away. It had been patiently waiting for a long time, lying there waiting since the sika deer was still 500 meters away, because there was a pool of water nearby, and this was the only way to get to the pool.
As the saying goes, perseverance pays off. After waiting for nearly an hour, the delicious sika deer finally cautiously strolled to the edge of the grass. The leopard leaped forward and pounced. If it could catch the deer, it would have a delicious meal. Now, its paws were less than half a meter away from the terrified deer. Based on past experience, this prey was doomed. However, an unexpected event suddenly occurred.
The void before it suddenly cracked as if a mirror had been struck, and the cracks multiplied until it crashed into it. The space, riddled with cracks, seemed fragile enough to be shattered with a mere poke, but it was incredibly sturdy. The leopard was thrown back by the impact, and it took three or four seconds to recover. It shook its still-dizzy head and stood up, only to be stunned by what it saw. The sika deer was gone, replaced by a human dressed in blue. This human seemed weak, even weaker than the one it had eaten. It roared and pounced. And then, nothing more happened. This human in blue was none other than Mo Mo, who had come from Ye Fan's Heavenly Emperor City.
Mo Mo watched the leopard pounce on him and casually waved his hand. The leopard, stained with human blood, was sent flying to who-knows-where. However, no matter where it flew, it was doomed, because its soul had been annihilated by the energy Mo Mo unleashed the moment it was sent flying. It was already beyond dead. At that moment, the six little foxes in the small world were told by Mo Mo that they had arrived at their destination, and their figures flashed and appeared beside Mo Mo.
"Is this the world of Shrouding the Heavens? The spiritual energy here is so rich and powerful, much richer than in my original world. Moreover, it's much easier to comprehend the Dao and absorb spiritual energy. It's like heaven and earth! This is the real world of immortals and heroes!"
After sensing their surroundings, the little fox became very excited. Although the spiritual energy in Mo Mo's small world was even richer than here, it still felt imperfect. While the Qiankun small world was much stronger, it still didn't feel perfect. It was fine to just absorb spiritual energy and cultivate, but if you wanted to comprehend the world, something always felt off. This was why they often left the small world, because even though the spiritual energy in the outside world was thinner, you wouldn't have that feeling when comprehending the world.
This is actually quite normal, because the small world was created by Mo Mo, but Mo Mo did not fully comprehend the laws of heaven and earth. Therefore, the laws of the small world are incomplete and imperfect. Although the small world is also autonomously absorbing the laws of other worlds to evolve, this takes time and is not something that can be accomplished overnight. However, the story worlds evolve on their own and are born innately. Therefore, the laws of each story world are basically perfect, only with different focuses.
This is why they felt something was wrong when they encountered the laws of the world. The little fox and the others hadn't reached that level, so they naturally didn't understand. They didn't ask Mo Mo, so he couldn't answer them either. Although they didn't know, they could sense the difference. Moreover, this was their first time in a world with such high combat power. Therefore, not only the little fox, but even the usually calm Kaguya was unusually excited. The little black dragon didn't even come out. After all, given her level, she should have experienced many such worlds, so she wouldn't find it strange.
Mo Mo's appearance here was quite simple: his immortal cauldron had been buried here by Ye Fan, and he had come to retrieve it. Ye Fan's reason for burying the cauldron here was also simple: tranquility. It was always tranquility, according to Ye Fan's own words. However, Mo Mo had more or less guessed the real reason. Although his immortal cauldron was broken, its spirit was not seriously damaged, so repairing it would not be difficult. As long as the residual power and laws of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor were wiped away, the cauldron could recover on its own. But Ye Fan did not do so because those residual powers and laws were both obstacles and opportunities for the cauldron, just like Mo Mo. If it could devour and refine these things, it could not only recover but also advance to a higher level. Given time, without the help of others, it could evolve into an Immortal King weapon on its own, equivalent to an Immortal King, with combat power not much different from it.
While the process of devouring and refining these laws of power also requires spiritual energy, the demand is not great. The spiritual energy concentration of Ziwei Star is more than sufficient. Most importantly, it is a quiet place. Although the Immortal Realm is rich in spiritual energy and very suitable for the Immortal Cauldron to recover, there are many True Immortals and Immortal Kings in the Immortal Realm, as well as experts who are half-step Immortal Emperors. Moreover, there are often clones of quasi-Immortal Emperor experts from other worlds who infiltrate the realm. They can easily discover Ye Fan's hidden Immortal Cauldron and cause unnecessary trouble.
Immortal Emperor City is on the front lines of the war, where battles between Quasi-Immortal Emperors are commonplace. Even the slightest disturbance could cause the Immortal Cauldron to fail. Therefore, the mortal realm is the most suitable place. As for why Ziwei Star was chosen, the reason is simple: it is a sturdy place and not prone to accidents. However, neither Ye Fan nor Mo Mo expected that even here, some accidents would still occur. Although the accidents were harmless, they still happened. Of course, Mo Mo is currently unaware that he is troubled by something else.
"Brother Mo, why can't we go out and play by ourselves? We finally came to such a powerful world, we want to go out and play on our own. Besides, we have the talisman you gave us, so nothing will happen. We promise you, we definitely won't cause any trouble. And if we can't beat them, we'll run away. And don't underestimate us, we're very strong." After the little fox finished speaking, she clenched her little fist and made a "I'm very strong" gesture. Mo Mo thought about it and felt that protecting them all the time wasn't good. It was time to let them experience the cruelty of the world. Therefore, he remained silent for a while before pretending to be very reluctant to agree. However, he also mentioned several conditions and deliberately exaggerated the situation to scare them. Otherwise, they would definitely cause trouble everywhere because in their previous world, their strength was enough to sweep across the entire world.

Chapter 420 Coincidence?
After the six little foxes left, a figure flashed beside Mo Mo, and a beautiful figure in a long black dress suddenly appeared. It was the little black dragon who hadn't come out of the small world. As soon as the little black dragon came out, it circled around Mo Mo and clicked its tongue, saying, "I didn't expect that the dignified Emperor Wangchen would actually scare people like this. He said that you can't even guarantee your safety in this world and that you might perish. He also said that talismans might not be able to protect you. Speaking of this mortal world, I can walk sideways, let alone you. But why would you choose a woman like this? Although she is quite beautiful, she doesn't seem very loyal to you."
