"Yes, and it's far more amazing than I can describe. I'll definitely take you there sometime to see a world beyond our own."

Chapter 274 Zhuxian, This is actually a sad story.
The sun shone brightly in the sky, without a single cloud in the heavens. The entire earth was shrouded in the scorching sun. Under the blazing sun, the flowers and plants looked wilted from losing a lot of water, and even the trees with their extensive root systems lost their former glory and were no longer so green. Although the birds were still tirelessly searching for insects, they were no longer chirping merrily. Only the cicadas in the trees continued to chirp tirelessly.
In this sweltering weather, let alone working, even staying indoors feels unbearably hot. Yet, at this moment, a man is tending to the flowers and plants on his balcony under the blazing sun. This man is quite handsome, especially the smile that always graces his lips, which makes people feel an irresistible attraction.
Just then, a tall, stunningly beautiful woman walked out of the house. After calling out "Master" from behind the man, she jumped onto his back. The man shook his head and chuckled, helplessly putting down the scissors in his hand. He turned around and pinched the girl's delicate nose, saying affectionately, "Why didn't you stay in the Qiankun Small World to help out instead of running outside? Why don't you take this opportunity to get to know your sisters better?"
"I came out because I missed you. There are enough sisters inside. If I go there clumsily, I'll only cause trouble. How can I help?" The beautiful girl said, snuggling into the man's arms, finding a comfortable position, and happily squinting her eyes.
Seeing this, the man shook his head and chuckled. He reached out and put his arm around her slender waist, leading her back to the hall. He then found a place to sit down, and the woman naturally sat on his lap. She then wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his chest. The man, in turn, naturally embraced her slender waist.
Just then, ripples spread across the hallway like water, and a girl in a black dress popped out. She was beautiful and innocent-looking, but what was most surprising was that she was holding a large chicken leg in her left hand. As soon as she appeared, she said to the two people in the hall, "Oh! Xu Yourong, you really did come here to slack off, and you even came here to be all lovey-dovey with that womanizer Mo Mo! It's outrageous!"
"What do you mean by slacking off? What do you mean by being all lovey-dovey? I came to keep Master company because I was worried he'd be lonely. Little Black Dragon, don't make false accusations!"
The three people in the hall were Mo Mo, Xu Yourong, and the other two girls who had returned from the world of Fox Spirit Matchmaker. They had actually been back for three days. On the second day after their return, Nuwa also returned with Zhou Shisi and Gao Yue. Mo Mo was finally reunited with the girls. Xu Yourong and the other two girls gradually began to integrate into their group. Then they kicked Mo Mo out of the Qiankun Small World, saying they had prepared a surprise for him. Mo Mo was happy to have some free time to tend to the flowers and plants in his house.
Since Xu Yourong and Xiao Heilong have already come out, it means that their preparations should be almost complete. Otherwise, the two of them would not have had time to come out. As for the statement that they could not help if they stayed inside, it was just an excuse.
Xu Yourong and the little black dragon Zhu Sha only came out to play for a while before returning to the Qiankun Small World. Mo Mo took the opportunity to go outside and take a stroll, looking at his family's fields and the fruit trees in the mountains.
Mo Mo's hometown is in a rural area with a low level of development. It is still mainly based on agriculture. Most of the young and middle-aged people here have gone to work in some coastal cities, leaving behind the elderly and children at home. While taking care of the children, the elderly also cultivate some land and maintain the fruit trees on the mountain. The fruit trees on the mountain are basically their only source of income for the year.
After leaving home, Mo Mo braved the scorching sun to go to his family's fields. Because Mo Mo had tended to them beforehand and maintained them regularly, the crops in the fields were growing quite lushly. Looking down at the foot of the mountain, everything was a verdant expanse. There were also a few people wearing straw hats working in the fields under the blazing sun, just like Mo Mo. Most of them were there to irrigate the fields because the sun was too strong and they were worried that the crops would die from the heat. However, Mo Mo did not interfere, because this was their way of life, and they were already used to it and did not need such intervention.
Following the path through the fields, Mo Mo continued forward, gradually leaving the farmland behind, and arrived at the hillside. The hillside was overgrown with weeds, some as tall as a person and others barely reaching the knees, and there were no paths to walk on, as the weeds had also obscured them.
Mo Mo didn't know what orchards were like elsewhere. He only knew that since he was old enough to understand, the orchards here had always been like this. They basically only weeded twice a year. Once was at the beginning of the year when people who went out to work would come back and weed, and also fertilize the trees. Then they would weed again when they went to pick the fruit. In the middle of the year, when the fruit trees were flowering and bearing fruit, they might also spray some herbicides or something similar when they were spraying pesticides. However, very few people did this, so the mountain was always overgrown with weeds, and therefore very few people walked around in the mountains.
Mo Mo had walked around the mountain, but there wasn't a soul in sight, not even a ghost. Apart from a few startled birds, there was nothing else. Moreover, because the price of lychees had been so cheap in recent years, very few people had bothered to tend to them. They were basically left to fend for themselves on the mountain, picking the fruit when it ripened and not caring if it didn't.
Mo Mo doesn't need to make money from the fruit from these trees, and he doesn't need to care about them. But his father and grandfather worked hard to maintain this place, and he doesn't want it to be abandoned. This is his connection to this place, his home. As long as this place is still here, his roots are still here. He is not a rootless wanderer drifting aimlessly. He still has a harbor to dock in.
Looking at the lush clumps of weeds, Mo Mo raised his hand and swept it forward. The weeds in his orchard vanished into thin air, as if a part of a painting had been erased. Then, he raised his hand again and casually grabbed a few lychee trees that he found pleasing to the eye. These lychee trees disappeared into thin air and then appeared in his personal little world.
After finishing these matters, Mo Mo did not linger and slowly walked home. He met several uncles and elders along the way, and greeted them with a smile. A dozen minutes later, he returned home. To his surprise, Nuwa, the eldest sister, was leaning against the door, smiling at him, seemingly waiting for him to come back.
This made him feel flattered! However, Nuwa's next move didn't just flatter him, it truly shocked him, because Nuwa directly grabbed his hand. If it were anyone else, Mo Mo wouldn't be surprised, but she was Nuwa. Mo Mo and Nuwa could only be considered friends, in a cooperative relationship. Although they both had some feelings for each other, Nuwa hadn't truly affirmed Mo Mo yet, and now she had taken the initiative to hold his hand, which greatly surprised him.
The next second, Nuwa pulled him into the Qiankun Small World. The moment he entered the small world, he understood what the surprise they were talking about was. It was indeed a very pleasant surprise. At this moment, peach blossoms were in full bloom in the small world, and the whole place was pink. Even the wooden houses that were connected together were decorated in red, with big red "double happiness" characters pasted on them. Apart from Kaguya Otsuki, the little black dragon and Nuwa, all the other women were dressed in red wedding dresses and stood gracefully in front of the wooden houses.
Not far in front of them was a large table, laden with fruits, and a pair of large red dragon and phoenix candles, each as thick as an adult's arm, were emitting wisps of smoke.

Chapter 275 Sometimes news comes so easily.
The peach blossoms in the ten-mile peach grove were in full bloom. A gentle breeze blew, and the fallen petals danced in the wind. It was beautiful and magnificent, but at this moment, Mo Mo's eyes could no longer capture these beautiful and romantic scenes. All that remained in his eyes were the people who stood gracefully under the peach blossoms, smiling gently.
Using phrases like "beauty that could sink fish and bring down geese," "beauty that could shame the moon and put flowers to shame," "national beauty and heavenly fragrance," and "beauty that could topple kingdoms" to describe them would not be out of place at all, because they were originally the pride of heaven that Mo Mo brought back from various worlds. They were all top-notch beauties, and now that they had achieved success in their cultivation, their appearances were even more exquisite and their figures even more perfect, truly deserving of the phrase "fair skin and jade bones."
The women were of all shapes and sizes, with different appearances and temperaments. Some had bright eyes and white teeth, and were clever and mischievous; some were like lotus flowers emerging from the water, pure and beautiful; some were graceful and charming, making one feel pity for them; some were petite and delicate, with red lips and white teeth, innocent and lovely; some were charming and alluring, and so on. Mo Mo felt as if he had entered a garden in full bloom.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go over there!" With that, Nuwa gently pushed Mo Mo in front of the women, and his clothes changed into a red groom's robe.
After standing in front of the women, Mo Mo looked at his bright red groom's robe, then nodded solemnly to the women behind him. He then turned to face the altar. The instant Mo Mo turned, veils embroidered with mandarin ducks and the character for "double happiness" suddenly appeared on the heads of his wives and concubines, and each held a large red flower commonly used in weddings in her hand, while the other end appeared in Mo Mo's hand.
Seeing that Mo Mo and the others were ready, Nuwa stood by the offering table, preparing to personally preside over this extraordinary wedding.
Besides some fruits and other offerings, there was a plaque on the offering table that read "Heaven and Earth." In front of "Heaven and Earth" were two smaller plaques with the names of Mo Mo's parents written on them. His parents were not in this realm, so the only way to distinguish them was to use wooden plaques with their names on them. It was a pity that Mo Mo's parents were a bit weak, otherwise they could have used the connection between these wooden plaques and the place to learn about the situation here. Someone with even greater power could have even used them to create an avatar.
Although the wedding was of a very high standard, it was also very simple. There were no guests in the hall, no parents by their side, only the bride and groom and an officiant who was not actually an officiant. Mo Mo felt guilty for not being able to give them a world-renowned wedding.
The wedding was unusually simple, ending with a simple bow. Mo Mo only sighed after the women were escorted back to their rooms by Nuwa, Zhusha, and Daikenki Kaguya. However, he did not regret it, but felt somewhat guilty towards them.
"Cheer up, today is your big day. They are already incredibly lucky to have met you. You don't need to feel guilty towards them at all. The wedding isn't important. What's important is whether you can make them live happily. Go on, they are waiting for you."
"That's right, the form doesn't matter, hahaha, beauties, your husband is here!" With that, Mo Mo's figure flashed and entered the wooden house. At this moment, Mo Mo secretly decided in his heart that he must give them an unforgettable grand wedding.
After Mo Mo entered the wooden house, Nuwa and the other two left the Qiankun Small World. Right after they left, one after another bright peach blossoms bloomed in the Small World, bright red and delicate, and the wooden house was filled with spring.
Mo Mo didn't emerge from the small world until noon on the third day. However, as the saying goes, newlyweds are still very busy. Perhaps because they hadn't seen Mo Mo for a long time, they were particularly reluctant to part with her. They stayed in the real world for more than half a year before starting their new journey. During this half year, a major event occurred: Mo Mo officially married Zhou Shisi in the real world.
The wedding wasn't very grand, since Mo Mo's closest relatives weren't in this realm, and Zhou Shisi's family didn't want it to be widely known. However, Mo Mo still had a week-long banquet held.
After Nuwa left with Zhou Shisi and the others, the house was empty again. However, this time it was a little better because her maid, Kaguya Otsutsuki, remained, instead of leaving Mo Mo all alone.
After Nuwa left with Zhou Shisi and Gao Yue, Mo Mo left the Myriad Realms Space in the Qiankun Small World and embarked on his journey again with Daikenki Kaguya. As for why it is called a journey rather than an adventure, it is actually very simple: he can basically crush these worlds, so it can only be considered a journey.
As for why he would enter these worlds even though they were not of much use to him, wasn't that a waste of time? Actually, Mo Mo was wasting time because he hadn't finished refining the essence left behind by the half-step Immortal Emperor Black Dragon in his body. He needed to spend time refining it.
Most importantly, he planned to use this time to fulfill his wish. Cultivation begins with cultivating the mind; if the mind is not settled, the method will not be settled; if the mind is calm, the method will be clear. Without a firm Dao heart, the path of the Great Dao cannot be followed at all. The path to the Great Dao is full of difficulties and dangers. If one is not careful, one will fall into an abyss, and everything in the past will vanish. He had a reason to move forward, so he had to do his best.
In fact, Mo Mo's wishes are indeed important, but they are also not important, because these are some thoughts he had before he met his master. These thoughts may be naive or they may be great. They may not affect Mo Mo's future path, but they may become obsessions in his heart, turning into inner demons and stabbing him in the back at a critical moment.
As for what those thoughts were, it's actually quite simple. I believe everyone has read various novels, watched TV shows, and watched movies. You must have felt sorry for the misfortunes experienced by the characters in the shows, or had other emotions. As an ordinary otaku, Mo Mo naturally had such thoughts as well. Normally, having such thoughts wouldn't be a big deal, and they would usually pass after a while. But then Mo Mo met his master and gained the ability to travel through countless worlds, so he had the ability to realize his past fantasies.
Of course, putting aside his previous cultivation level, even with his current strength restored to the peak of the Great Emperor realm, his past fantasies seem exceptionally naive. But even if they were naive, they were still thoughts that left a deep mark on his heart. If he has the strength to realize them now but doesn't, it's easy for them to become obsessions later, or even develop into inner demons. Besides, he's idle anyway, so he might as well take this opportunity to put an end to these thoughts. And who knows, he might even gain something unexpected? Just like when he went to the Fox Spirit Matchmaker world with Bai Yuechu, the huge altar he unexpectedly obtained, forged from the world's origin crystal, is probably enough for him to cultivate to the mid-to-late stage of the Immortal King realm.

Chapter 276 Encounter
The vast, rolling mountains stretch to the horizon, echoing with the roars of tigers and the cries of monkeys. Ancient trees reach for the sky, their branches entwined with centuries-old vines. Nestled among these mountains is a small village. This village is not large, with only a hundred or so households, and it doesn't even have a wall. Yet, it is peaceful and serene. The people here live and work in contentment, their faces adorned with genuine smiles. Clearly, they have no fear of wild animals attacking their village.
This is actually normal, because their village is not far from a famous sect that is renowned throughout the land. In fact, they live at the foot of the mountain, and they are able to settle in these vast mountains thanks to the influence of this sect. The sect is called "Qingyun," a name that resounds throughout the entire land.
The Qingyun lineage boasts a long history, dating back over two thousand years. Along with Tianyin Temple and Fenxiang Valley, it ranks among the three major righteous sects, and is considered the foremost sect in both the righteous and evil paths. Within the Qingyun sect, the lineage traces back to the time when the founder, Qingye, obtained the ancient sword "Zhuxian" in the "Illusion Moon Cave," wielding it with unparalleled power. Admiring this sword, many of his descendants have cultivated swords as their magical weapons. A thousand years later, the emergence of numerous swordsmen has become an unwritten rule of the Qingyun sect; even renaming it the Qingyun Sword Sect wouldn't be out of the question. Furthermore, the founding patriarch passed down the "Zhuxian Sword Formation," a technique of unparalleled power.
The Qingyun Sect originated from Taoism and practiced the supreme Taoist method—Taiji Xuanqing Dao. Their magic was exquisite and unparalleled, emphasizing harmony with heaven and earth, and the unity of body and mind with nature, using the body to control the creation of nature and transform it into great power. They were especially famous for one of the sect's signature techniques, the "Divine Sword Thunder Control True Technique." Taoist magic, immortal swords, and heavenly thunder were the hallmarks of the Qingyun Sect, making it the foremost of the three major righteous sects. This small village was located at the foot of the Qingyun Sect's mountain.
The Qingyun Sect has seven lineages since the time of Master Qingye: Tongtian Peak, Longshou Peak, Fenghui Peak, Chaoyang Peak, Luoxia Peak, Dazhu Peak, and Xiaozhu Peak. Tongtian Peak is the main one among the seven peaks. All the past leaders of the Qingyun Sect have come from Tongtian Peak, and the current leader of the Qingyun Sect is the head of the Tongtian Peak lineage, Master Daoxuan.
Today, however, two unexpected guests arrived in this small village that had been peaceful under the protection of the Qingyun Sect for a long time, much to the surprise of the villagers of Caomiao Village.
Caomiao Village is named after a thatched temple built in the village. Although it is located at the foot of Qingyun Sect Mountain, it is still somewhat remote. After all, Qingyun Sect is a sect of immortal cultivation and has little interaction with the mortal world. Caomiao Village rarely receives visitors from outsiders. But today, it has welcomed two strange guests.
The two young people who arrived at Caomiao Village looked to be only about twenty years old, a man and a woman. Although the man was not particularly handsome, only considered good-looking, he had an otherworldly and ethereal aura. However, what surprised the villagers of Caomiao Village was that the young man's temperament did not make them feel unapproachable or ashamed. On the contrary, it gave them a sense of friendliness and made them feel good.
The woman was stunningly beautiful and had a graceful figure, which made people's imaginations run wild. However, her aura made people afraid to approach her. To the surprise of the villagers of Caomiao Village, the stunningly beautiful woman in their eyes was actually just the young man's maid.
Although the villagers of Caomiao Village rarely interacted with the outside world and knew little about it, they weren't naive. These two men, with their striking appearances, demeanor, and clothing, were clearly of extraordinary origin. They warmly welcomed them inside, leaving only three or four people as guides. To the villagers' relief, the two men didn't act arrogantly; instead, they were quite casual and easy to talk to, which eased their anxieties.
"What brings you two immortals to our humble village? Our Caomiao Village is situated beneath the Qingyun Sect, and we have been able to live peacefully thanks to the sect's blessings. Therefore, the entire village is deeply grateful to you immortals. Please feel free to give us your instructions, and as long as it is within the capabilities of Caomiao Village, we will do our utmost to help you accomplish them." The speaker was the village chief of Caomiao Village, and as expected of a village chief, his words were quite profound.
He first placed Mo Mo and the others in a high position, like an immortal, elevating them and making them reluctant to cause trouble for them due to their status and face. Then he pointed out that he, as the village chief, was under the protection of the Qingyun Sect, and that causing trouble for them was tantamount to causing trouble for the Qingyun Sect. Finally, he made his attitude clear: as long as Mo Mo and the others' requests were not too unreasonable, they would try their best to satisfy them.
This short sentence reveals the village chief's profound experience in dealing with people and situations. With just this one sentence, he was able to reduce more than 80% of the troubles in Caomiao Village. This shows the village chief's shrewdness and proves the truth of the saying that the wisdom of the people is boundless.
That's right, the two guests from Grass Temple Village were Mo Mo and Kaguya Otsutsuki, who were embarking on their journey once again. After traveling over with Kaguya Otsutsuki, they appeared in the sky above Grass Temple Village and decided to come down and take a look at the village where the protagonist of Jade Dynasty grew up, as well as himself.
The novel *Zhu Xian* is one of the few novels that left a deep impression on him. Mo Mo actually started reading novels on his phone when he first entered high school, but he didn't start reading novels in high school. He first read a novel in junior high school.
Back then, cell phones weren't very common, and there were no smartphones yet. They were all small-screen keypad phones, and schools strictly prohibited students from bringing cell phones to school. So, the only way for them to read novels was through the school library. It was then that Mo Mo became obsessed with reading novels.
Mo Mo also remembers another particularly popular game at the time, a vegetable-stealing game published by Tencent. It was a nationwide sensation, with some people even setting alarms in the middle of the night just to steal a few vegetables. It was truly insane. Naturally, Mo Mo and his friends also joined the vegetable-stealing army, and these games were the main topics of conversation after class.
It was in that atmosphere that the school library suddenly opened. This was undoubtedly a blessing for young people full of energy with nowhere to release it. So whenever the library opened, the door was always crowded with people. Mo Mo, thanks to his deskmate who was the librarian, didn't have to queue and could always borrow the books he wanted to read. In less than half a semester, he had read all the books in the library that interested him. What impressed him the most were two books. One was about games and was called "The Age of Games". It was about how in the future, humans created a game that allowed people's minds to enter. People who entered the game would have their memories sealed and would experience birth, adulthood, and old age in the game world, experiencing life again, just like in a real world.
The other book was a chivalrous novel called "If the Milky Way Were in the Sky". The bizarre and wonderful world in the novel fascinated Mo Mo and made him yearn for it. So after high school, he asked his father to buy him a cell phone and then went further and further down the path of a bookworm.
It was around that time that Mo Mo started reading *Zhu Xian*. After so many years, he had long forgotten the plot of *Zhu Xian*, but he still remembered the ending very well. That was the first novel Mo Mo had ever read in which the female lead actually died in the end, and she was a character he really liked at the time.
To Mo Mo's surprise, after so many years, Zhu Xian was actually adapted into a TV series. What's even more ironic is that he gained the ability to travel freely through countless worlds. So he came here to reminisce about the past and make up for the regrets of that year. Of course, he couldn't forget about the treasures either.

Chapter 277 Rescue
The righteous path of heaven and earth is boundless, and the hearts of men in the mortal world are endless. For thousands of years, the world of Jade Dynasty has been in endless conflict between the righteous and the demonic paths, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. At this time, the Qingyun Sect, the leader of the righteous path, finally defeated the demonic sect with the power of the ancient divine weapon Jade Dynasty Sword.
After a century of vicissitudes, the Demonic Sect has once again accumulated enough power, and the two sides have started to fight again. Puzhi of Tianyin Pavilion, bewitched by the Blood-Devouring Pearl, wanted to achieve his wish of combining the strengths of Buddhism and Taoism to achieve immortality. After passing on the Tianyin Pavilion's techniques to Zhang Xiaofan, he slaughtered all the villagers of Caomiao Village, where Zhang Xiaofan lived, at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, and then disappeared.
The next day, Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu awoke to find their entire village slaughtered. Heartbroken, they were discovered by Tian Buyi, the head of Dazhu Peak in Qingyun Mountain, who took them back to Qingyun. With no relatives or friends to rely on, Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu eventually joined the Qingyun Sect.
To repay his master's kindness, Zhang Xiaofan diligently studied and trained. Upon reaching adulthood, he fortuitously obtained the power of two evil treasures, the Bloodthirsty Pearl and the Soul-Devouring Pearl. Taking advantage of the Seven Sects Martial Arts Tournament, he defeated his fellow disciples, gaining instant fame. Afterwards, he descended the mountain to train with Zeng Shushu, the sect leader's son. Later, possessing the martial arts techniques of both the Qingyun and Tianyin sects, Zhang Xiaofan obtained the Demonic Sect's Heavenly Book in the Ten Thousand Bats Cave. Cultivating the techniques of all three sects simultaneously greatly increased Zhang Xiaofan's power, but this also sowed the seeds of future trouble…
The undercurrents of Heyang, the treacherous changes of Kongsang, the snatching of the pearl from Dinghai, the heartbreak of the full moon, the struggle for supremacy in Liubo... Zhang Xiaofan, Lu Xueqi, Lin Jingyu and other top disciples of Qingyun Sect, who descended the mountain to gain experience and wield their swords as chivalrous heroes, grew rapidly through various hardships.
However, during the battle against the Demonic Sect, Zhang Xiaofan falls in love with Biyao, the daughter of the Ghost King. They face life-and-death situations together, their love unwavering. But their paths are forever crossed, and their love is ultimately forbidden by the world. At this very moment, the war between good and evil reignites, resulting in heavy casualties on both sides. The one caught in the middle is Zhang Xiaofan, torn between his sect and his beloved, tormented by unresolved conflict.
At that moment, Dao Xuan unleashed the Zhuxian Sword, sweeping across all directions. Seeing that Zhang Xiaofan was hesitating and even disobeying his sect for a demonic woman, he believed that Zhang Xiaofan had fallen into the demonic path and wanted to kill him with his sword. However, Biyao sacrificed herself to save Zhang Xiaofan and ultimately perished.
The great battle at Qingyun ended with the eternal separation of a pair of lovers. However, the Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Dao is forty-nine, so there is still a glimmer of hope. Although Biyao activated the Hehuan Bell to save Zhang Xiaofan and recited the Deathly Love Curse in Zhang Xiaofan's arms, she died.
But it was precisely because of the Hehuan Bell that she had this glimmer of hope. Because there was still Biyao's soul inside the Hehuan Bell, Biyao still had a breath left and a hope of resurrection. However, fate played a cruel trick on her. Biyao's father, the Ghost King, still could not give up the idea of destroying Qingyun. He still wanted to resurrect the Beast God and use the power of the Asura to fight against the Zhuxian Sword and destroy Qingyun in one fell swoop.
However, just as he successfully obtained the power of Asura, an unexpected event occurred: chaos erupted within the Ghost King Sect. Zhang Xiaofan, using the alias Gui Li, was not by Bi Yao's side for other reasons, and the Ghost King himself had also left for his grand plan. The Hehuan Bell, a treasure of the demonic path, was now in danger amidst the collapse of the entire Fox Ridge Mountain, and its value was paramount in the chaos. Although Zhang Xiaofan desperately rushed towards the stone chamber that haunted his dreams, it was too late; the chamber was already empty.
In the end, with great courage and faith, Zhang Xiaofan returned to Qingyun, gained the recognition of the Zhuxian Ancient Sword, defeated the Ghost King with the Zhuxian Sword, resolved the grudge between the two factions that had lasted for thousands of years, and fulfilled the promise he made with Biyao, Lin Jingyu and other companions when he was young.
Finally, he and Lu Xueqi settled in the former Caicaomiao Village.
However, that's just the original story. This time, the tragedy won't repeat itself because Mo Mo has arrived, and he's here when Zhang Xiaofan is still a child.
Mo Mo and Daijian Mu Huiye followed the village chief to Zhang Xiaofan's house. Zhang Xiaofan's house was very ordinary, just a simple thatched house. The front of the house was fenced off and some vegetables were planted. At this moment, a little boy of only five or six years old was playing alone at the door of the thatched house, while a young woman in her twenties was mending clothes inside the house. That should be Zhang Xiaofan's mother. His father was not at home. He must have gone out hunting or doing other farm work.
After bringing Mo Mo and Daijianmu Huiye to Zhang Xiaofan's doorstep, the village chief pointed to Zhang Xiaofan playing at the door and said, "This is Zhang Xiaofan's home. He is the Zhang Xiaofan you mentioned. But I wonder what business you have with Xiaofan, Immortal Master? Logically speaking, Xiaofan is only five or six years old and has never left the village. You shouldn't know him."
"Don't forget, I'm the immortal you mentioned. How could I dare to come out and cause trouble if I didn't have some skills? I know he naturally has his own way of knowing, but village chief, you don't need to worry. I'm just here to take a look and won't interfere with your village's life." Mo Mo smiled slightly, reassuring the somewhat uneasy village chief.
"How could that be? It is our honor that the immortal has come to our village. We don't know how many lifetimes we have accumulated to receive such a blessing. However, we villagers are all uncouth and we are afraid that we will not be able to entertain you properly and that we will disturb you." Upon hearing Mo Mo's words, the village chief quickly expressed that it was a blessing for their Caomiao Village that Mo Mo had come, and he looked as if he was honored.
Seeing this, Mo Mo smiled slightly, ignored the village chief, and walked straight up to Zhang Xiaofan to examine him carefully. Perhaps because he grew up in the village, Zhang Xiaofan was a bit tanned, but his big, dark eyes were still quite cute. Moreover, he was not afraid of Mo Mo. When Mo Mo examined him, he also turned his big, dark eyes to examine Mo Mo.
"It's fate that we met. I hope you'll like this little gift." After looking Zhang Xiaofan up and down for a few moments, Mo Mo flicked his finger at Zhang Xiaofan's forehead. A golden light instantly entered Zhang Xiaofan's brow, and his eyes flashed with golden light before returning to normal.
That golden light was a trace of power left behind by Mo Mo. It could actively absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to temper his body, subtly improving Zhang Xiaofan's talent and laying a solid foundation for his cultivation. However, his most important ability was not this, but rather a contingency plan left by Mo Mo to prevent the Grass Temple Village from being slaughtered by Puzhi in the future.
