"So, are you still going to that place?" the Fire Dragon advised earnestly and patiently, "Even if your family members truly are listening to the Buddhist scriptures, in the end, they are very likely to be converted... Do you really wish for all your relatives to become disciples of Buddhism?"

"This... naturally, I do not wish for that," Chu Mo said, "If they choose to enter Buddhism on their own, I would have nothing to say against it, but if they are forcibly converted... that is definitely not acceptable!"

"Isn't that clear then? Moreover, I'll tell you, after they have listened to the scriptures for countless years, they won't need anyone else to convince them; they will naturally wish to convert to Buddhism. That's where the real power of Buddhism lies. You talk about force? They didn't force anybody! It's just about reciting some scriptures to you, and it's you who wants to enter. Do you understand, kid?" the Fire Dragon said in a low voice, "The ancestor of the White Dragon King once said, after listening to the scriptures for a long time, one's reverence for Buddhism arises spontaneously. Therefore, none of those who convert to Buddhism will ever tell anyone that they were forced!"

"..." Chu Mo was at a loss for words.

"The problem is, before they listened to the scriptures, almost none of those people wanted to convert to Buddhism!" the Fire Dragon said, "It was the same with the ancestor of the White Dragon King. Even though it had successfully left Buddhism, it never gave up reading the scriptures. In fact, this is also one of the greatest regrets of our Dragon Clan. Because we all believe that if it had not entered Buddhism, it definitely had the chance to become supreme!"

Chu Mo said, "There is no defined path to becoming supreme; what you believe may not necessarily be correct."

"So you're still going to Buddhism?" the Fire Dragon asked, "I can't dissuade you; if you really want to go, then go. Anyway, I won't be visiting a place like Buddhism. Just find a place to keep me, and don't forget to take me with you when you leave the Immortal Realm."

"You are still supposed to be the guardian of Piaomiao Palace," Chu Mo said with a smile.

"Damn it, you're even worse, kid!" the Fire Dragon couldn't help but curse.

"Don't worry, I will find you a true vein of spiritual energy, and first have you suppress that vein, how about that?" Chu Mo enticed, "When they all ascend from the Spirit Realm, I will have them build the Piaomiao Palace there. You just need to help me protect them for a while. As long as I leave the Immortal Realm that day, I will definitely take you with me!"

"Fine, even if I don't agree, you would do it anyway, right?" the Fire Dragon grumbled somewhat gloomily.

"Exactly," Chu Mo replied frankly, "It was a condition for me lifting your seal; you had agreed to it."

"Alright, let's find the place quickly; I know you're tough, kid," the Fire Dragon muttered, "I do hope that you can learn a bit of the compassionate heart the Buddhists have during your time there, and not always think about how to scheme against us, the older generation."

Chu Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes.

In fact, Chu Mo had seen some of Buddhist doctrine. It was all about urging people to do good and not evil, to cultivate Buddhist teachings, and so on. Such doctrine could not be said to be very active, but overall, it was rather positive.

However, in the Cultivation Realm, killing was inevitable. Cultivators like Wang Liang of Dugu Mountain in the Immortal Realm were rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Even cultivators like Wang Liang, who had never done anything wrong, would inevitably develop a strong greed and a desire to kill when faced with a real opportunity.

The Cultivation Realm is a typical world where the strong prey on the weak; whoever is more powerful has the right to speak.

And unchecked power often breeds endless darkness!

Therefore, cultivators believe in karma, but when benefits are at stake, they often care the least about karma.

After reaching the Spirit Refining stage of cultivation, one is completely acting against the natural order. With Heaven already defied... why care so much about karma? As long as one can ensure they are constantly moving forward on the path of cultivation, then there is nothing to fear!

Like the Blood Demon Ancestor, and like Wang Zhong that Chu Mo encountered in the land of sin, they are the most lawless of people, but haven't they all cultivated to a level beyond that of an emperor, approaching the realm of Quasi-Supreme?

Everyone knows that the Blood Demon Ancestor is not a good person, even a devil guilty of heinous crimes, but how many people will stand up to stop him?

In the end... isn't it all because the Blood Demon Ancestor's power is too formidable!

Chu Mo, carrying the Fire Dragon Cup, searched far and wide and finally found a desolate mountain range.

"Kid, what are you thinking? Are you planning to leave me here? This broken place... is probably the worst place in the Immortal Realm, right?" The Fire Dragon emerged from the Fire Dragon Cup, transforming into a middle-aged man with a head of red hair, frowning as he looked at the desolate scene before him.

"Have you forgotten Piaomiao Palace in the Spirit Realm?" Chu Mo asked.

"Are you saying? This place is just like Piaomiao Palace in the Spirit Realm? There are spirit veins hidden deep underground?" The Fire Dragon looked at Chu Mo incredulously, skepticism in his eyes.

"Of course." Chu Mo casually formed several hand gestures and cast them out, and far away, in several places, thick essence energy suddenly burst forth into the sky. Although it lasted only for an instant, the richness of the Heaven and Earth's essence energy was enough to shock the Fire Dragon profoundly.

"You, kid... are really a freak." The Fire Dragon looked at Chu Mo in awe. "Where did you learn all these skills? Why do I feel that these abilities... should not be possessed by ordinary people?"

"That's right, I'm not an ordinary person, am I!" Chu Mo chuckled.

The Fire Dragon pursed his lips but was still very satisfied with the place.

However, Chu Mo's recent move had already convinced him, and as he looked at the place where the essence energy had just emerged, the mountains and rivers underwent massive changes, becoming more enchanting.

Because the time was very short, just an instant, the mountains and the earth did not change too much, and the overall environment here still would not attract the attention of outsiders.

Subsequently, Chu Mo buried the Fire Dragon Cup deep underground and set up layers of arrays to totally conceal this place. They would wait until Miao Yi Niang and others ascended to the Immortal Realm one day in the future, and they could then directly establish their sect here.

After saying goodbye to the Fire Dragon, Chu Mo hit the road alone.

Still dressed as a scion of a great Immortal Realm family, he seemed to be strolling leisurely, but in reality, he moved swiftly. Continuing along the ancient road, he proceeded on his journey.

Three days later, Chu Mo's figure appeared in an ancient city.

At first glance, the ancient city had endured endless years, with towering walls that appeared somewhat broken and full of traces of time. There were also marks of axe cuts and chiseling, probably left over from many battles.

The inside of the city, however, was very bustling, with pedestrians on the streets looking peaceful, with relaxed smiles on their faces, appearing very much at ease.

Chu Mo found a tavern, and as soon as he entered, he encountered someone he hadn't expected to see.

A disciple from Dugu Mountain in the Immortal Realm, Wang Liang.

The reason Chu Mo could recognize this person at first sight was, firstly, when he left the Guiding Land, he had remembered the faces of the people there, and secondly, the aura on Wang Liang matched exactly with the essence left outside his Primordial Infant Spirit Refining cave.

However, Wang Liang did not recognize Chu Mo. Upon seeing a young and handsome nobleman walk in, Wang Liang only glanced once and then diverted his gaze. He continued to lower his head to drink, with a hint of sorrow between his brows as if he was laden with heavy thoughts.

-----------------

I still have a cold, and my throat hurts so much it even hurts to swallow saliva. But I feel a bit stronger, and even though my family wouldn't let me code, I ran out anyway. I feel staying at home would make me feel worse.

So today's update might not be much; I'll have to see how I feel. It might be less if I'm feeling bad, but if I can hold up, there might be more.

Also: Happy Birthday to our beautiful little bear sister! I hope you stay healthy and happy forever!!
