Although they had been up for almost a day and a night, the three of them were still full of energy. After finishing their morning exercise, Katie reluctantly got dressed and left the room. They had already agreed yesterday that the plan to reverse the future would officially begin at noon today, and she needed to prepare herself and get herself into the best condition to ensure the plan would go smoothly. After Katie left, Mo Mo helped Shan Shan up and said to her solemnly, "I said yesterday that I am not from this world, and I will leave after your plan succeeds. Now I have a question for you, and I hope you will consider it seriously: are you willing to come with me and leave this world?"
"Leave this world!" Flash was initially startled, her face filled with joy. However, her smile faded slightly, and she asked Mo Mo earnestly, "After we leave this world, can we come back?"
Mo Mo instinctively wanted to answer "yes," but he stopped himself, because he suddenly realized that this world would restart after their plan succeeded. If Blink followed him away, this world would be without Blink. In order to correct this mistake, this world would definitely create a new Blink to replace her. So, the moment she left with him, she no longer belonged to this world. In other words, even if they returned to this world, those people would not recognize her but would treat her as an outsider. Therefore, it didn't matter whether she came back or not.
Mo Mo didn't want to deceive Shan Shuo, after all, he hadn't really fallen in love with her. His feelings for her were more of pity and responsibility. Otherwise, he would have lied to her to take her away. But now he wanted to respect her choice, so he told her everything he had just thought of. After hearing Mo Mo's words, Shan Shuo fell into a long silence.
“You don’t need to rush to make a decision. Just tell me your answer before your plan succeeds. And if you choose to stay, perhaps after history is changed, I will disappear from your memories, while you will still be the innocent Clarice.” Mo Mo didn’t let Blink answer in a hurry, but gave her a morning to think about it. While Blink was thinking, he quietly dressed and left the room. He wanted to prepare a big meal for them as a small gift for their acquaintance.
After leaving the room, Mo Mo greeted the others and flew towards the sea. He planned to use the local ingredients to cook a sumptuous seafood feast for them. As a result, the animals in this sea area suffered a great misfortune. Since they felt that the world was about to be reset, it didn't matter if they hunted more ingredients, since they would all be resurrected after the reset anyway. As a result, the sea was full of shark carcasses. The reason was that Mo Mo was collecting fresh, top-quality shark fins, taking only the best one from each shark and discarding the rest.
As for whether this would be harmful to nature or completely destroy the marine biosphere, sharks are wild animals. They have no independent consciousness beyond their hunting instincts. Even if they die, they will be resurrected when the world restarts. So such a thing simply doesn't exist. As for the other ingredients, Mo Mo only takes the best. He only takes the freshest piece of lobster meat and only selects bluefin tuna with a weight of over 150 grams, and only takes the best piece of meat. When Mo Mo swept the entire sea area clean, he finally gathered enough ingredients for this seafood feast.
If it weren't for the devastation caused by the battle between mutants and Sentinels, which drastically reduced the population and allowed Earth's ecosystem to recover, Mo Mo might not have been able to gather enough ingredients for his seafood feast. However, the price was too high. Even the once-powerful United States was nearly destroyed, and many weak and sparsely populated countries were further annihilated. This is one of the reasons why there weren't many Sentinels searching for them, as the United States didn't have many resources left. But everything will be gone forever, because Professor X and his team have successfully changed history and reversed the future.
When Mo Mo brought out the sumptuous seafood feast, even Professor X and Magneto, who were both nearing sixty, couldn't help but be astonished. They never expected that Mo Mo, in addition to his superb strength, was also such a skilled cook. And smelling the aroma wafting from the table, everyone couldn't help but swallow.
"Eat up! You need to be full to have the energy to do things, especially Katie and Logan. Don't let your hunger cause you to drop the ball halfway through!"
Mo Mo's words brought bursts of cheerful laughter to the dining room. But after they took their first bite of the food on the table, the dining room turned into a battlefield, and a great battle to snatch the food officially began. This time, even Professor X and Magneto temporarily put aside their pride and joined the battle.

Chapter 522 One-Sided Battle
A delicious meal successfully dispelled the anxiety and confusion in the X-Men's hearts. However, they were all stuffed because they ate too much. Only Blink was spared because he was a little slow in his decision-making and didn't get to grab much. Seeing this, Momo invited her to take a walk on the beach to digest their food, and Blink did not refuse.
Although it wasn't noon yet, it was getting close, so the sun was still quite strong. The two realized this only after leaving the villa. So, when they walked down the path that Mo Mo had specially cleared to the beach, they didn't go to the sand. Instead, they walked side by side along the shade of the trees by the sea.
The two walked side by side, enjoying the sea breeze, neither speaking, as if they were simply taking a stroll to digest their food. However, their expressions suggested otherwise. The island Mo Mo had chosen was not large, and the gentle beach was naturally short. In just a few minutes, they reached the end. After reaching the end, Shan Shan didn't turn back but instead sat down under a coconut tree with her knees drawn up to her chest, calmly gazing at the sea. Mo Mo sat beside her.
The two sat quietly like that. After a while, Shan Shan moved closer to Mo Mo, resting her head gently on his shoulder. Mo Mo naturally put his arm around Shan Shan's waist to make her more comfortable. As time passed, the sun slowly moved to its zenith. Before they knew it, they had been sitting for over an hour. Meanwhile, Katie had gone out to call Mo Mo and the others back to guard them. They were about to begin their operation. The reason Katie was the one to call them was because they were afraid of seeing anything inappropriate for children. After all, the two of them had been inseparable for almost every moment during this time, and Katie was in a similar situation.
As Katie left, Mo Mo's expression shifted slightly. He then turned to look at the calm-faced Flash. The moment Flash met Mo Mo's gaze, she understood that her time had come. In fact, the moment she sat down, she already had the answer in her heart, and now it was time to answer him.
The answer she gave was not a traditional one. She stood up and straddled Mo Mo's lap, then hugged him tightly with all her might and bit his lips. Their lips and tongues intertwined. Mo Mo understood her choice from her actions, so he hugged her back tightly and greedily took what he wanted.
When Katie found the two, they had just parted their lips. Katie had originally wanted to tease them about their passionate love, but when she saw the expressions on their faces, she realized something was wrong. They were both too calm. Katie could understand Mo Mo's calm expression, since Mo Mo was always like that. But Shan Shan was different. In the past, her gaze towards Mo Mo always carried a hint of passion, but now her gaze was unusually calm, causing Katie to swallow the teasing words that were already on her lips.
They both knew why Katie had come to see them, so before Katie could speak, Mo and Mo dusted off the sand from their pants and headed back. On the way back, Katie couldn't contain her curiosity any longer, so she quietly walked up to Mo and Mo and whispered, "What happened between you two? Did you hurt Clarice because you were too hasty and made her angry?"
"Of course not. You should know me better than I do. How could I make such a mistake?" Although Flash didn't choose to go with him, he was only a little disappointed. He also understood that even though Flash was in such a low mood, he believed that as long as a handsome guy appeared and pursued her during this time, they would be in bed together in a few days. That's how American women are; they value and pursue freedom. And how many scenes like that are there in American movies? It was precisely because of this that Mo Mo was in the mood to flirt with Katie.
As Mo Mo had predicted, American women were indeed more open-minded about relationships than women in China. By the time they got back halfway, Shan Shan had already calmed down. Not only was he chatting and laughing with Katie, but he even started to flirt with Mo Mo. Mo Mo, of course, didn't hold back. So, what should have been a ten-minute walk turned into a nearly half-hour journey. Mo Mo could clearly sense that Shan Shan was much more relaxed than before. He felt much the same way Katie did—that she saw him as a male companion, not her closest boyfriend.
Back at the villa, facing the teasing gazes of everyone, Blink didn't blush shyly as before. Instead, he boldly embraced Mo Mo and gave him a big, wet French kiss in front of everyone. The others cheered at the sight, but only the shrewd Professor X and Magneto looked at the kissing couple with thoughtful expressions. They had already guessed what was going on, but they had more important things to do now, so they could only put this matter aside for the time being.
Because they had made ample preparations this time, unlike the original series where Wolverine Logan simply lay on the bed and Katie unleashed her powers, they built an exceptionally sturdy metal bed to completely immobilize Logan. A complete set of medical facilities was also on hand, capable of monitoring Logan and Katie's vital signs at all times and replenishing their energy reserves. Emergency medical equipment was also included, though it was likely to be useless, as Logan would face only two outcomes: brain death or becoming an idiot. Therefore, whether or not he was saved was irrelevant.
After the operation began, only Logan, Katie, Professor X, and Magneto remained in the room. The others were sent to guard the perimeter, as the most critical moment had arrived and no room for carelessness could be tolerated. Mo Mo, being the strongest, was stationed in the center, so he took a deckchair and sat on the roof. Blink, with his teleportation ability, was also assigned to Mo Mo's side, tasked with providing support from the center.
Whether it was due to the corrective power of the plot or not, as soon as they arrived at their designated locations, a large fleet appeared on the distant sea. In addition to the densely packed sentries, this fleet also had numerous warships and fighter jets, which greatly alarmed Storm, Halle Berry, and the others. However, when they saw the person still sitting calmly on the rooftop, they inexplicably felt relieved.
This time, Mo Mo didn't take the initiative to attack. He simply put a protective shield around the villa below and then ignored it. He planned to leave the sentries and fighter jets to the X-Men, since the only real threat to them was the sentries. They could easily deal with the planes and warships. The battle did indeed turn out to be one-sided, but not on the enemy's side. It was the X-Men's side that was completely overwhelmed. They were suppressed and had no chance to fight back at all because the warships and planes all had protective shields.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 523 An Unexpected Gain
Mo Mo underestimated Bolivar Trask. He hadn't expected that in just a few days, Trask would have created a protective shield, and now he was making the X-Men completely helpless. If Blink hadn't intervened to rescue them, the X-Men would probably have suffered casualties in the short ten seconds of the battle. However, even with Blink's help, they wouldn't be able to hold out for long. So Mo Mo reached out and gently squeezed and wiped the oncoming fleet. The once arrogant fleet vanished from the world. If it weren't for the craters left on the island, Blink and the others would have doubted whether everything that had just happened was an illusion.
Dealing with those fleets was a piece of cake for Mo Mo, and he didn't care at all. Meanwhile, Blink and the others quickly treated the wounds of their comrades. Although the battle only lasted for a dozen seconds, some of them were still accidentally injured, but they were all minor injuries. Blink returned to Mo Mo's side and gave him a passionate kiss.
As we know from the original series, although Logan spent several days in the past, he didn't spend much time in the present, which felt like a dream. Before the battle started, Katie and the others had already begun. So when Blink was not satisfied and wanted to take it a step further with their lips touching, the whole world suddenly froze as if it had been paused.
Mo Mo gently pushed away the Flash who was pressing down on him and stood up. As he stood up, Flash regained her mobility. She looked at the still world around her, filled with shock. She grabbed Mo Mo's hand incoherently, not knowing how to express her shock.
Mo Mo was much calmer. Although he had never experienced anything like this before, he was already mentally prepared, so he remained unusually calm. However, he didn't know how long this stillness would last, so he tried to keep it brief and said, "As you can see, your plan has succeeded. History has changed according to your wishes. The whole world is now frozen. When it recovers from this stillness, it will be the time when the world restarts and turns in another direction. This is also your last chance. If you want to come with me, stay by my side and I can protect you. If you still choose to stay, I will leave here."
"Thank you, Mo. You gave me a different kind of love. The time I spent with you was one of the happiest days of my life. Thank you for taking care of me and my comrades all this time. But I'm not like girls from China. I don't want to be your appendage, even though you're wonderful. So, goodbye, Mo." With that, Shan Shan hugged Mo Mo tightly, smiled, and gently kissed him on the lips before slowly backing away.
Looking at the smiling but now motionless Flash, Mo Mo sighed softly and said, "Perhaps this is the best ending. Although you chose your comrade, even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. Although you Americans don't care about this, I can't ignore it. Consider this small gift a testament to our acquaintance." As he spoke, Mo Mo pointed a finger, and a technique for using spatial power quietly entered Flash's mind.
A few breaths later, a wind suddenly rose in the previously still world. The wind was not strong, but it stirred the entire world. Under the influence of this wind, the world began to move again, but this movement was somewhat strange, because it was not moving forward normally, but rather like a movie playing in reverse.
The retreating Flash walked back to Mo Mo's side step by step, but this time Mo Mo was not there, so it seemed a bit awkward; the blasted soil flew back and filled the crater, and the exploded shells re-condensed and fell back into the plane. However, to Mo Mo's surprise, the planes he had erased did not re-condense, so the world seemed to freeze and stop.
Mo Mo watched the world, which had come to a standstill again, with great interest. He wanted to know how this world had restored the warships and aircraft that he had erased. Because he had erased those warships and aircraft using the power of this world, meaning that this world had no backup, it naturally could not condense that power and return it to him. So, like a computer, he was stuck in an infinite loop.
However, this was ultimately a world, not a computer. Mo Mo witnessed a scene that astonished him: the power of the Heavenly Dao of this world suddenly manifested, and a massive force appeared where the warships Mo Mo had erased were located. Then, one after another, the warships and aircraft were reassembled. After these warships and aircraft were reassembled, time in this world did not continue to regress, but instead moved forward. These warships and aircraft launched a fierce attack on the small island. However, to Mo Mo's great surprise, the X-Men, who should have been utterly defeated, unleashed tremendous power. Magneto, in particular, was even more formidable. He directly distorted the magnetic field to create a miniature wormhole, instantly wiping out half of the fleet. Blink also used her spatial teleportation power to open a half-meter-sized spatial portal on the seabed, with the other side of the portal facing the roaring group of fighter jets.
Many people have heard of the power of high-pressure water jets, but Flash directly opened a wormhole from the seabed, and the pressure of the entire ocean was released from this half-meter-sized opening. The power of the jet of water that shot out was unimaginable.
In less than half a minute, the roaring fleet was completely annihilated. After the fleet was destroyed, time stopped for the longest time, and then it started to roll back again. This happened several times, and each pause was basically related to Mo Mo. Mo Mo also knew what this world was doing. It was actually repairing the changes caused by Mo Mo's arrival. Of course, if Mo Mo did not break free from the constraints of this world or leave when the world restarted, he would become a complete part of this world during the restart process and would never be able to leave again.
Mo Mo currently has no intention of leaving this world, because he is fully focused on comprehending the Heavenly Dao power that this world unexpectedly revealed in order to fix the loopholes he created. This is the Heavenly Dao! Even in the Primordial World, a world where cultivation relies on comprehending the Great Dao, only Hongjun, who merged with the Dao, had the opportunity to see the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao is an aggregation of rules and the Great Dao, condensed from the purest origin of the Great Dao. If one could fully comprehend the Great Dao within it, then controlling a world would be an easy task. This is a rare opportunity that is hard to come by, and a single glance is worth a hundred years of hard work in ordinary times. Only a fool would miss it.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 524 Returning to the Primordial World
He didn't know how much time had passed, but the power of the Heavenly Dao in the sky slowly faded away, and Mo Mo gradually woke up from his comprehension. Looking at the sky that had returned to normal, Mo Mo suddenly regretted not participating more. That way, he could have comprehension for a longer period of time. However, he only thought about it briefly and then let it go. He was already very satisfied with his gains. He had just calculated that in less than half a day, his strength had increased by nearly two levels again. If he digested what he had just memorized, his strength would increase by at least two more levels. This already made him very satisfied. After all, he had just broken through, and it wouldn't be good for his strength to soar too fast.
The power of the Heavenly Dao dissipated, and time returned to normal. Just like in the original series, when Wolverine woke up from his coma, Professor X told him that he had successfully reversed the future. The Sentinels were not born, and all the dead people were resurrected. Now, humanity has accepted the existence of mutants, and mutants and ordinary humans are living together amicably. The X-Men have become teachers at various mutant schools, responsible for teaching mutants how to properly use their powers.
After history was altered, the world has changed dramatically. Now, the world is full of vibrant life, unlike before when it was full of ruins. After purchasing a batch of the latest weapons, Mo Mo gave up his plan to stay and explore this world, because he had already felt the deep malice of the world. In one day, he was hit by out-of-control cars three times while shopping, hit by cars nine times while crossing the street, hit by billboards four times, blocked by thugs eight times, forcibly kissed and falsely accused of indecent assault six times, and kicked away by a man once. Finally, Mo Mo left this world and returned to the prehistoric world during a sudden police-gangster battle.
Seeing Xiao Shu sitting cross-legged on the bed with her eyes closed in meditation, Mo Mo's heart stirred. He walked over and gently pulled her into his arms, saying softly, "I'm back. You've worked so hard. I should have come back sooner, but something happened along the way, so..." Before Mo Mo could finish speaking, Xiao Shu reached out and covered his mouth with her hand.
“Brother Mo Mo, there’s no need to explain. You have your reasons for staying, and it’s only been ten or fifteen days. For us, a nap takes dozens of times longer than that, so what hardship is there? But Brother Mo Mo, are you injured or have any hidden dangers?” As she spoke, Xiao Shu broke free from Mo Mo’s embrace and carefully examined him.
"Alright, alright, your brother Mo Mo is so powerful, how could he possibly get injured? Now that I'm back, there's no need to maintain this barrier anymore." At this point, Mo Mo suddenly remembered something, withdrew his hand from removing the barrier, and continued to ask Xiao Shu, "Has anything happened while I was gone?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shu's expression gradually became serious. She said, "Brother Mo Mo, during the time you were away, this barrier was invaded by three different forces, but I managed to block them all. Chang'e came to see you four times, the Jade Rabbit came once, and Yi Chen came six times, but I sent them away with various excuses. That's all."
"Is that so? Then let's leave it at that for now. Now that my strength has broken through, even if Hongjun makes a move directly, I'm confident I can retreat calmly. So I don't need to worry about him too much. However, Zhu Sha and the others are still not suitable to come out. They should continue to cultivate in the small world. As for Xiao Shu, you should also leave, otherwise Hongjun won't dare to easily attack me." Mo Mo stroked his chin with a smile.
"Brother Mo Mo, do you mean you'll attract Hongjun's attention in the open and let me go into the shadows, and then take advantage of Hongjun's distraction of you to attack him from behind?" Xiao Shu immediately understood the meaning behind Mo Mo's words.
"That's right, he's secretly amassed countless treasures. Since he's plotting against me, we don't need to be polite. We'll take as much as we can. Anyone who dares to scheme against me should be prepared to suffer a huge loss." As he spoke, Mo Mo's lips curled into a wicked smile. Xiao Shu silently marked Hong Jun with a big X in her mind. With Mo Mo's words, she no longer needed to worry about him blaming her later. After all, he had said those words himself. Mo Mo never expected that because of his words, Hong Jun would become a complete tragedy.
After the discussion, Xiao Shu withdrew the power of the world, removed the protective barrier that had enveloped Mo Mo's palace for nearly half a month, and then walked out of the room hand in hand with Xiao Shu.
For people of Mo Mo's level, ten days or half a month is nothing, so Yi Chen and the others did not feel that anything was wrong. After Mo Mo came out, the Moon Palace returned to its previous state. Every day, they would watch Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit dance, drink a little wine, and then travel around. In fact, both the Heavenly Court and Taiyin Star have many beautiful places.
In the blink of an eye, another year has passed. On this day, they were admiring flowers and discussing philosophy in a secluded space deep within the Guanghan Palace. However, Mo Mo did not participate this time because they were talking about the art of flower cultivation and arrangement, which Mo Mo knew nothing about. So he just sat aside and acted as an audience member.
Flower arrangement, also known as the art of flower arrangement, involves placing flowers in containers such as bowls, plates, and pots, rather than planting them in these containers. The flowers, branches, blossoms, and leaves used in the arrangement are all without roots; they are simply parts of the plant. Furthermore, the arrangement is not random but rather based on a specific concept, selecting materials and following certain creative principles to create a beautiful form (shape). Through this, a theme is expressed, an emotion is conveyed, and a sense of aesthetic pleasure is achieved, providing the viewer with a sense of beauty and enjoyment.
Mo Mo doesn't understand flower arranging, but he can appreciate it. Moreover, his job isn't easy, because the women arranging flowers here are not ordinary women. They all have some kind of relationship with Mo Mo, and given their cultivation and understanding of the Dao, their arrangements are bound to be excellent. So, the problem arises: he has to judge the merits of each work, but these women have close relationships with him, so if he makes a mistake, he might become jealous, which is no joke.
However, he didn't have to worry about it this time. After the flower arrangement was finished, the girls were drawn to the topic Xiao Shu brought up and didn't let Mo Mo express his opinion. In fact, the girls almost forgot about him after saying their goodbyes.
"Sister, are you really leaving?" Nuwa held Xiaoshu's hand with a look of reluctance. Yichen and Chang'e, though not holding her hand, also had expressions of reluctance on their faces. Mo Mo knew this was just part of their plan, but when Xiaoshu said she was going to leave this world, he still showed a look of surprise. Then his face also showed reluctance. Although the surprise was feigned, the reluctance was real, because it meant that he would not be able to see Xiaoshu for a long time.
A day later, Xiao Shu left despite Nuwa's strong urging, and that evening Mo Mo unusually did not come out for dinner.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 525 Lü Dongbin Becomes a Father
Xiao Shu left, and a month later, Nuwa returned to her Nuwa Palace. Mo Mo had not yet broken through to the Saint Realm; he was still in a state where he could break through at any time (hiding his true cultivation level). However, as someone who had been through it all, Nuwa knew that although Mo Mo could break through at any time, it was not so simple to actually do so. Therefore, she left the Moon Palace. After Nuwa left, Chang'e and Yi Chen completely let loose and frantically practiced dual cultivation with Mo Mo to improve their cultivation levels.
Their efforts were not in vain. In just one year, Chang'e had completely consolidated her cultivation and made progress, no longer a newcomer to the Quasi-Saint realm. Yi Chen had even reached the peak of the mid-stage Quasi-Saint realm. Only then did the two of them stop their almost frantic cultivation. During this year, Chang'e often subtly suggested that Mo Mo take in the Jade Rabbit, and the Jade Rabbit also frequently expressed her affection for Mo Mo. However, Mo Mo never agreed.
That day, Mo Mo was refining a batch of Foundation Establishment Pills. He had a vague premonition that he would soon need them, so he spent a day improving the formula and another day selecting the ingredients. Now the pills had been refined for a full day and he was ready to start the furnace. Just as he put the nine Foundation Establishment Pills, which were shrouded in a shimmering immortal mist, into his jade bottle, he received a message from Chang'e that an invitation from the Pure Yang Immortal Mansion had been sent.
Mo Mo casually put the bottle of pills away. He figured that if he wasn't mistaken, the pills were probably related to the invitation from Lü Dongbin. Foundation Building Pills were used to lay a solid foundation for those who had just started cultivating or hadn't even begun their cultivation journey yet, so it was likely that Lü Dongbin had just had a son or daughter.
Just as Mo Mo had predicted, Lü Dongbin was indeed going to be a father, but not now. The child in the Hundred Flower Fairy's belly would not be born for another two days. Lü Dongbin sent Mo Mo this invitation to attend the ceremony, which was actually a common practice in the Heavenly Court or even the entire Three Realms.
Those who practice spiritual cultivation can usually calculate a child's exact birth date in advance. After calculating the child's exact birth date, the family will send invitations to the child's best friend and a powerful figure to attend the ceremony. This is partly to share in the joy, and this sharing of joy is not just a casual remark, but will actually affect the child's fortune.
The more people who come to witness the birth of a child, and the more distinguished their status, the greater the child's fortune. Moreover, there is another interpretation of sharing in this joyous occasion: those powerful figures who have seen the child are considered to have recognized him, and they will help the child in the future if they can. This is equivalent to the reciprocal favors and courtesy in the modern world.
Of course, the purpose of holding this ceremony is not limited to this. The most important purpose is to select a teacher. A child's talent is revealed at birth, so if the child's talent is good enough, the powerful figures who come to participate may take the child as a disciple or ask the host family to send the child to their school for cultivation.
However, given Lü Dongbin's strength, he could teach his child himself without needing him to take on a separate master. But if the person who wanted to take his child as a disciple was someone of Mo Mo's level, that would be a different story. This was already evident in his invitation, where he praised his unborn child to the skies, saying that if Mo Mo took him as a disciple, it would be an incredible stroke of luck. However, Mo Mo completely ignored those flowery words. If he actually believed them, he would be out of his mind. Mo Mo, however, decided that his unborn child probably did have some talent, but it certainly wouldn't be too exaggerated. Otherwise, he wouldn't have encouraged Mo Mo to take his child as a disciple in the invitation.
Mo Mo would definitely not accept any disciples, because he simply didn't have the patience to teach apprentices. Rather than taking Lü Dongbin's child as a disciple, he would rather give him a chance and let Lü Dongbin teach him himself. Mo Mo believed in the principle that the master leads you through the door, but the cultivation depends on the individual. In other words, he would give him a cultivation manual and initial techniques to guide him into the field, and then let him struggle on his own (to fend for himself). Of course, if it were a female disciple, that would be a different story. After all, women have always been the weaker party, so they should be protected properly.
Lu Dongbin, overjoyed at the birth of his son, naturally invited not only Mo Mo, but also Chang'e and Guanyin of Luojia Mountain. However, Yi Chen, who was also in the Guanghan Palace, was not invited. But Yi Chen and Guanyin were essentially the same person, so it didn't matter whether she was invited or not. They only made some preparations for the ceremony before the day arrived.
When Mo Mo and Chang'e arrived at Lü Dongbin's Pure Yang Immortal Abode, many immortals and gods had already arrived. Mo Mo had already sensed Guanyin's aura, so she must have arrived long ago. Since this was not his first time visiting the Pure Yang Immortal Abode, he did not need the fairy maids to lead the way. The fairy maids in the abode also knew that Mo Mo was a good friend of Lü Dongbin, so they simply gave a slight bow and let Mo Mo walk into the immortal abode on his own.
After a winding and circuitous journey of several minutes, Mo Mo finally brought Chang'e to the main hall of the mansion. As they entered the spacious hall, the entire place fell silent. Everyone stared at the two of them, their gazes a mixture of admiration, curiosity, surprise, envy, and jealousy. Mo Mo knew this was all because of Chang'e. The most beautiful woman in the Three Realms had now been confirmed to be taken; how could they remain calm? Chang'e, unaware of the situation, noticed the gazes of the immortals and gods and moved closer to Mo Mo, then grabbed his arm. Mo Mo then heard several clear cracking sounds.
Although the arrival of Mo Mo and Chang'e caused a little disturbance, it quickly subsided. The immortals and gods sitting in the hall soon returned to their previous state, some chatting and others resting with their eyes closed. Mo Mo and Chang'e sat down next to Guanyin.
Mo Mo and the others didn't have to wait long. About an hour later, Lü Dongbin and the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers walked out of the inner hall hand in hand. The Fairy of a Hundred Flowers was also holding a child wrapped in fairy nectar. The two stood on the main seat and thanked the gods and immortals present. Then they showed the child to everyone present. The gods and immortals present didn't just look and leave. After seeing my praise, they all gave little Dongbin some small gifts. The most precious gifts were the peaches of immortality that ripen once every nine thousand years, the jade dew (a drop of divine jade that is over ten thousand years old can only be condensed every thousand years), and the ginseng fruit personally sent by the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi.
It's unclear whether Lü Dongbin did it intentionally, but he deliberately left Mo Mo, Chang'e, and Guanyin for last. Guanyin and Chang'e didn't disappoint. Guanyin gave a drop of Three Lights Divine Water, the essence of all waters. Guanyin's jade bottle can only condense three drops in a thousand years, showing its preciousness. Chang'e gave a jade cassia seed, which comes from the jade cassia tree of the Taiyin Star. It has the effect of nourishing the primordial spirit and is rarely seen in the outside world, making it a rare and precious item. Mo Mo, of course, gave a bottle of Foundation Establishment Pills.
Lu Dongbin's child was incredibly cute, with a truly remarkable talent. After Lu Dongbin's persistent nagging, Mo Mo finally gave him the Dragon Hidden Sword, which had been with him for many years. Having received the sword, Lu Dongbin didn't continue to press Mo Mo to accept his son as a disciple. Instead, Mo Mo took advantage of Lu Dongbin's distraction and slipped away, fearing Lu Dongbin might cause trouble if he stayed any longer. His treasures, though numerous, weren't easily acquired. To Mo Mo's surprise, Guanyin actually accompanied him back to the Moon Palace.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 526 The whole story
Guanyin is the good corpse that Yichen cut off. Although she also has her own independent consciousness, and even her personality is somewhat different from Yichen's because she is a good thought that was cut off, she does not exist alone. Their consciousnesses are still connected. Therefore, in theory, Guanyin does not need to return to Guanghan Palace with Momo and Chang'e, since Yichen is already in Guanghan Palace. When Momo learned that the reason Guanyin came back with them, he was completely dumbfounded.
"I want to have a child with you," Guanyin said calmly to Mo Mo.
"How could you have such a thought? We have almost eternal life, so we don't need to consider the issue of inheritance. And even if we wanted to have children, Yi Chen would be enough. Anyway, you are one, so you don't need to get involved." Mo Mo was genuinely surprised that they would suddenly have such a thought.
“Buddhist practice emphasizes transcending the world, but how can one transcend the world without experiencing it? Besides, we've been together for quite some time now, and I often think, since we're already like this, why not go a little deeper? When I saw Lü Dongbin's child, this thought suddenly popped into my head, and I secretly decided that I wanted to have a child with you. How can one truly understand a mother's love for her children without actually being a mother? If I can't even understand the small love for my children, what right do I have to talk about the great love that encompasses the three realms?”
Mo Mo could tell that Guanyin, or rather Yi Chen, was truly determined to have a child with him. However, Guanyin's involvement wasn't necessary! The reason they hadn't had a child yet was because they had always practiced dual cultivation. During dual cultivation, the life essence of both parties wouldn't combine to create a new life; instead, it would be directly refined to enhance their cultivation. Furthermore, immortals and gods, due to the leap in their life essence, were already different from ordinary mortals, making it much more difficult for them to conceive. Therefore, it had nothing to do with their partners. This was also the reason why Lü Dongbin and the Hundred Flower Fairy had only had a son after being a Daoist couple for over a thousand years.
