Chapter 1796: Founding the Capital
"First, pacify the Eternal Land, then survey the entire world of the Ancient God's body. Let this world settle completely. During this process, powerful beings from the Four Great Heavenly Realms may arrive here. I will kill them one by one!" Chu Mo softly said, "Then, I will take a few years to gather the strength of the entire Eternal Land completely. Form a solid defense. Let those people truly understand what they should do and who their real enemy is!"
"And then?" The old Daoist looked at Chu Mo.
Chu Mo replied, "Then I'll return to continue seeking Pangu's legacy. Until I fully acquire all of the Ancient God's legacy, I will fight for the Lord of Heaven's decree! As long as I obtain the Lord of Heaven's decree, this Heavenly Realm can truly be established. Only then will the world of the Ancient God's body undergo a fundamental change."
"Amitabha, what can we do?" The old monk, rarely direct, looked at Chu Mo, his eyes full of compassion also showed sparks dancing within.
The old Daoist also looked at Chu Mo, "Indeed, what can we do?"
Chu Mo smiled, "Educate the masses."
The old Daoist frowned, "Isn't establishing one enough? If there are too many..."
He and the old monk, both possessing great compassion and magnanimity, actually didn't care much about things like competing for qi movement and seizing incense. The old Daoist looked at Chu Mo, "For such matters, the old monk is actually most adept."
"Amitabha, old friend, you cannot be lazy. You must know that people are full of doubts and can never truly make all the people believe in one faith." The old monk said this, but did not continue further.
Because there was no need, everyone could understand.
Chu Mo nodded, "Yes, therefore, I must trouble both of you seniors; it will be hard work for you."
The old monk shook his head, "For such matters, many helpers can be selected within the God Mirror World. That child Xu Du is very good, with strong Buddhist nature. If he acts as a Buddha-child, it should be doubly effective with half the effort."
The old Daoist smiled slightly, "I have already chosen a candidate for the Tao-child."
Chu Mo looked at the old Daoist, who said, "A little child, a good seedling I discovered a few years ago. Very outstanding."
Chu Mo nodded, "For these matters, both of you seniors can handle them at your discretion."
At this moment, Xu Shiyun suddenly looked softly at Chu Mo and gently said, "Master, has he... really been completely annihilated?"
Chu Mo nodded, "Yes, but not killed by me."
"I know, even if it was you who killed him, I wouldn't blame you." A slight sadness appeared on Xu Shiyun's beautiful face, and she softly said, "Actually, he was quite good to me. Although, although he was my enemy, now that he is dead, I am a bit sad."
Years had passed, and Xu Shiyun, a truly peerless Heavenly Genius, had grown into a Supreme-level cultivator. She was just a little step away from achieving the ultimate cultivation that almost all beings could reach, the Great Ancestor level.
She was so outstanding, radiating a brilliance that was blinding.
So, there were hardly any people who dared to approach her easily.
However, Chu Mo keenly noticed that his son Chu Xuan had... some sort of unsettling rapport with her.
At this moment, Xu Shiyun softly said, "Master, regarding the Heavenly Palace, I think if I step forward, I might have some persuasive power. I might be able to make some people... submit to us. After all, in the future, we will still need manpower."
"Good, then I'll leave this matter to you. But you must be careful about your safety." Chu Mo said.
At this time, Chu Xuan stepped forward, looked at Chu Mo, and said, "Father, I can protect Junior Sister..."
Chu Tong, over there, was secretly laughing; Chu Xuan glared at his sister, then his mouth twitched slightly, his face reddening a bit.
To be honest, it was a bit tough on this child. How many years had passed already? Normally, Chu Xuan's age could already make him an elder of a family. But in front of Chu Mo, he still seemed like a child who hadn't grown up.
Chu Mo's authority was too overwhelming!
Now, in front of him, probably only those old friends from back in the day could communicate with him freely and easily.
Soon, the monkeys all emerged from their states of reclusion. Seeing Chu Mo, each of them came over to embrace him, all with bright smiles.
The realm of the monkeys, after years apart, had finally stepped into the Supreme domain, and the other former six Great Saints had all reached the ancestral realm.
Meanwhile, those six other Great Saints should have all reached the Supreme level of power.
Many old friends, upon the instant the World Gate opened, had already perceived the changes here, and then, one by one, emerged from seclusion, heading here.
The group from Piaomiao Palace all emerged from seclusion.
The entire God Mirror World was quickly stirred.
Originally, the ancient ancestors from the Tunnel world of the Supreme level came out to meet Chu Mo as well.
When they learned that the land beneath their feet was already the Eternal Land, many were so moved that they shed tears.
Though they were top-level existences among cultivators, they never thought that one day, they would step on this miraculous land.
"In past legends, the Eternal Land was truly a pure land, a real land of immortality. I never thought that one day we would stand on this land of immortality," an ancient ancestor Supreme from the original Tunnel world said with deep emotion.
Chu Mo laughed, "What land of immortality? This is neither the Immortal Realm nor the God Realm."
The Demon Lord said, "Does such an Immortal Realm and God Realm really exist in this world?"
The others at this moment also all looked towards Chu Mo.
Chu Mo thought for a moment and said, "Based on the Dao and laws I can comprehend now, places like the Immortal Realm and Heavenly Realm, theoretically... should exist. However, they're definitely not in our dimension. There, it should be an eternal space. Everything within it is truly immortal. Perhaps we may spend our entire lives and still have no way to enter that world."
The Demon Lord nodded, chuckling softly and saying, "Some things, actually just knowing is enough. Whether or not we can enter that space isn't important."
"That's right, it's like in the secular world, every mortal knows there's an emperor, but they may never see the emperor in their entire lives, nor become emperor. Being people not of the same world, there's no need to pursue what cannot be pursued." It was Die speaking. Her smile was enchanting as she looked at the Demon Lord: "I think, as long as all of us can be together forever, that is enough!"
"Yes!" Almost everyone present nodded seriously.
The elder Chu said, "This place can already be considered our true home."
The big skeleton stood beside the elder Chu, the old wounds in its body from the past had long been completely healed. With the continuous elevation of its realm, the big skeleton's frame seemed as if it was cast from divine metal, shimmering with a cold brilliance.
It too, had long been a peak existence of the ancestral realm!
It was only a step away from the Supreme realm. Moreover, in a certain sense, the big skeleton... was truly an immortal being.
Chu Mo was searching among the crowd, then asked, "Where's Huang? The old butler? Why don't I see them?"
For the previous life of the Chu Clan royalty, things and people Chu Mo cared about weren't too many. Considering the Chu Clan royalty of the previous life had been completely annihilated, the people from the royalty had mostly reincarnated into today's Chu Family. Thus, he felt no need to overly reminisce over what had become historical past.
But Huang and the old butler were different, they truly witnessed history, bridging ancient and modern times.
At this moment, the expressions of everyone became somewhat sorrowful.
Chu Mo then deduced for a moment, also fell silent, and said, "I'll go see them."
Saying this, Chu Mo's figure flickered and he directly disappeared from sight.
The portal of the world connecting the godly mirror world to the eternal place was thus opened.
In the present world, perhaps only those of the great ancestral realm could be so willful. Changed to any ordinary cultivator, letting this portal remain open for a while would experience an enormous energy consumption they couldn't withstand.
At this time, Xu Shiyun tenderly said, "Let me lead everyone in building the city, I should be more familiar with this world."
"I'll help you!" Chu Xuan was the first to walk over.
The crowd looked at the two and couldn't help but smile softly.
The monkey bluntly said, "When will you two get married?"
Xu Shiyun's face flushed red, head lowered, but she gave Chu Xuan beside her a subtle glance.
Chu Xuan's nature inherited much from his mother Shui Yiyi, but when it came to emotions, he was somewhat like his father Chu Mo.
As Shui Yiyi would say, "My son is good in every way, but when it comes to emotions, he's a bit too passive like his dad!"
Everyone else also watched Chu Xuan with a smile.
Chu Xuan awkwardly said, "I, I just wanted to tell dad, but..."
Xu Shiyun lightly said, "Shall I tell Master?"
Chu Xuan immediately shook his head and said, "How can I let you bring it up, I'll speak to him myself..."
Shui Yiyi couldn't help but roll her eyes, then said, "Alright, I'll talk with him later. Also, do you think your dad is a fool? He already noticed earlier and asked me what's going on. I've already told him!"
"Ah?" Chu Xuan and Xu Shiyun showed expressions of surprise and some embarrassment.
Chu Xuan muttered, "How did Dad... see it?"
At this time, a nearby cool woman lightly said, "Your dad is the smartest person in this world, but he excels at playing dumb."
Chu Xuan turned and looked, showing an awkward smile, "Aunt..."
It was Chu Qing, she glanced at Chu Xuan and then sighed, "I don't know how many beauties wasted their lives on your dad. Kid, you shouldn't imitate your dad, understand? How many years has Shiyun been with you? Give her an explanation quickly!"
Chu Qing's words made many faces in the scene blush.
Shen Xingxue, Miao Yi Niang, Lu Tianqi, Lu Tianyue... and Liu Yun!
Too many women had liked Chu Mo to varying degrees.
If Chu Mo were truly that kind of character, he would have long had countless wives and concubines. But just as Chu Qing said, Chu Mo excelled at playing dumb, so to this day, he still had only two wives.
Those past companions all remained single, never accepting anyone's pursuit.
Of course, in the present world, there were few who dared to pursue them.
"Ahem..." Miao Yi Niang's starry eyes blinked, she softly said, "Let's discuss building the city and establishing the capital."
