At this moment, a scene suddenly appeared in Chu Mo's mind—a world that seemed immeasurably vast. This world was boundless!

Mountains majestic, rivers picturesque, the breath of various Great Dao ascended from the earth, rushing into the endless void. Grand sounds of the Great Dao resonated continuously, like chanting sutras, yet seeming like a debate.

This appeared to be the world of the utmost Dao, where everything seemed so real yet so inconceivable.

Suddenly!

A hand as vast as infinity, as if spanning across countless galaxies and transcending ten thousand ages, flowed through the river of time between its fingers. It materialized abruptly and slapped fiercely towards Chu Mo!

This hand emerged too unexpectedly and too swiftly!

The hand was unbelievably large; the myriad of stars in the sky, like dust before it, shattered or were sent flying by the infinite power of the hand as it reached out.

The hand seemed equivalent to a boundless Great Dao, like the ultimate expression of a Great Dao!

Faced with this suddenly attacking hand, Chu Mo had no chance to react!

By comparison, he was too insignificant!

At this moment, Chu Mo even forgot to fear, there was simply no time for fear!

Time seemed to come to a complete standstill in that instant.

Chu Mo felt his Dao... his everything was about to be extinguished!

He had the feeling that in the next moment... he would completely vanish from this world. It was a death in the truest sense, without even a trace of lingering attachment left behind.

But bizarrely, he felt a sense of relief!

This wasn't right!

No one would be without a shred of attachment at the moment of death; everyone... has their bonds and obsessions.

This was simply Chu Mo's Dao, being completely crushed in the presence of the Dao represented by this hand!

Let alone a spirit of resistance, he couldn't muster any thoughts at all!

At that moment, in the void, a cold snort sounded out, and a jade seal flew from the distant space, its speed so fast it defied belief. Chu Mo couldn't even begin to sense any aura from the jade seal. He only saw the giant hand tremble lightly and then quickly retract!

Then, the jade seal chased in the direction of the giant hand.

Boom!

Chu Mo's vision darkened, and that world of extreme beauty, in an instant, collapsed.

He woke up.

Then he found himself still gripping the handle of the axe, standing still in the same posture.

Everything that had just happened felt like a fantastical dream.

But Chu Mo knew for certain that it was not a dream!

Just now, as he merged two Great Dao within himself and birthed the moment of "ten thousand Dao," he was sensed by some entity, which directly struck at him!

Then, another being saved him with that jade seal.

Chu Mo even immediately thought of the prophecy mentioned by his parents in his memories. Reflecting on the scene just now, Chu Mo had already guessed some of the causes and effects.

He was very angry, yet he dared not show it. He even immediately cast all thoughts of this event to the back of his mind.

He dared not think of it!

Because he could not think of it!

Chu Mo took a deep breath and looked at his body.

Unbeknownst to him, new flesh had grown on his body. Every inch of him was filled with a terrifying power beyond imagination!

It seemed as if with a single thought, he could truly destroy the heavens and the earth!

This kind of power was simply too terrifying, he even scared himself a bit.

Then, Chu Mo picked up the axe in his hand and said softly, "Senior, thank you!"

Afterward, Chu Mo bent over, picked up a piece of wood, swung the axe, and with a snap, split the wood in two. A faint smile spread across his face.

Inside his body, the countless Dao platforms with their various immature Daos needed to be understood and constantly refined.

Therefore, Chu Mo started to earnestly chop firewood.

Snap!

Snap!

Snap!

Each stroke of his axe was filled with a mysterious rhythm. The split firewood was neat and uniform in size.

His hands were fair and translucent, flawless to the eye; the body that had regrown was just as clear and radiant, emitting a halo of Dao Energy.

But what was miraculous was that his realm had not changed at all, it remained at the peak of the true immortal.

Just like the statue-like old Daoist at the door had said, realm is actually meaningless at certain times.

Turning to look back at the old Daoist, Chu Mo suddenly chuckled. He gestured with his hand, and a faint breeze of his finger struck the old Daoist's body.

The old Daoist's body shuddered violently, and then he completely returned to normal. He looked at Chu Mo, his eyes filled with an indescribable complexity. After a long while, he sighed softly, "You've succeeded."

Chu Mo smiled slightly, "Succeeded? I'm not sure."

"You brat, you're destined to embark on an endless journey of glory, so stop being so smug," the old Daoist rolled his eyes, "Stop chopping wood, it doesn't mean much to you anymore. Come over and drink with me!"

Chu Mo thought about it, nodded, and casually put down the axe.

The old Daoist suddenly asked, "Can you still pick it up?"

Chu Mo reached out, picked up the axe, and grinned, "Should I chop some more firewood for you?"

The corner of the old Daoist's mouth twitched, and he shook his head, "Forget it."

Chu Mo set down the axe, walked over to the old Daoist, and respectfully performed a salute, "Thank you, Senior, for your enlightening kindness!"

"It's nothing, even without me here, you would have succeeded," the old Daoist said softly with a complex look on his face, "So, no need to thank me."

Chu Mo still completed the courtesy, and then performed another, "This is to thank you on behalf of my mother!"

The old Daoist was startled, standing there dumbfounded, staring at Chu Mo without blinking, "You... you know?"

Chu Mo took out the token of the Daoist Sect, smiled sheepishly, "I know a little, maybe you could explain more to me?"

"Hmm, hmm, hmm..." the old Daoist's head shook like a rattle-drum, "Know as much as you want, it has nothing to do with me. Don't come asking me about this; I know nothing. Either join me for a drink or get lost."

At that moment, the rooster in the chicken coop stuck its head out, peering curiously at Chu Mo.

Chu Mo pointed at the rooster, "How about we stew it for our drink? It's so plump... it should be enough for us."

Whoosh!

The rooster instantly pulled its head back in.

The old Daoist couldn't help but burst into joyful laughter, "Hahaha, kid, do you have any idea how that bird has bullied me over the years? I never imagined it would finally meet its match!"

From the chicken coop came a flustered and exasperated voice, "Old man, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I won't let any hen lay an egg for you!"

Chu Mo was full of black lines, looking at the old Daoist with a speechless expression, "Is it just because of this? Why not just stew it?"

The old Daoist sighed, "Can't stew it! If we stew it, the hens will stop laying altogether…"
