"So, when I depart from here and return to the Mortal Realm, what will you do?" Chu Mo asked, looking at the woman.

"Of course we'll return with you." The woman glanced at Chu Mo's chest, chuckling, "We can just enter your space."

"No!" Chu Mo immediately shook his head. What a ridiculous proposition! The elemental Saint fruits' tree was in his Sky Divine Mirror. If she entered, would she not monopolize them? Most likely, not a single fruit would be left for him.

"So stingy!" The woman hadn't expected Chu Mo to agree and didn't show any displeasure upon his refusal. She then proposed, "How about this? You distribute the elemental Saint fruits to us. In return, we each provide you with some elemental essence to help construct your Five Elements Dao foundation. Once you succeed, we can leave this place."

"How did you know that I want to construct a Five Elements Dao foundation?" Chu Mo looked at the woman and asked.

"Why else would you need us if not for constructing a Five Elements Dao foundation? Lets not dawdle." The woman casually responded, "I've been stuck here for so many years. I can't wait to explore the outside world."

Gold, who was standing on the side, said, "The Heavenly Realm is a perilous place!"

The woman indifferently replied, "Who said I am going to the Heavenly Realm?"

Gold's expression changed slightly, "You're not intending to return, are you?"

Water, Earth, and Wood turned to the woman, their eyes gleaming with complex emotions.

The woman let out a faint sigh, "Alright then, I'll stay in the Illusion God Realm. However, can we permanently seal the doors to our little world this time around?"

Everyone else nodded quietly in response.

In the end, the woman gave a slight smile to Chu Mo, "We will be relying on you in the future!"

"What do you mean?" Chu Mo inquired, confused.

"You'll find out in due course," the woman dismissed the conversation. She then took out something from her body which looked like a burning flame. The object emitted a dim luminescence and gave out a profound and fluctuating aura, then faintly disappeared. "This is the fire essence of the Five Elements. Here, you can take it!"

The woman's face turned pale, and she seemed significantly weaker.

Gold, Water, and others also extracted a cluster of the Five Elements essence from themselves and handed it over to Chu Mo.

Even though these elemental spirits seemed to be helping him unconditionally due to some reason, Chu Mo was entirely moved. These elemental spirits might owe someone a favor, but they definitely didn't owe Chu Mo anything!

Therefore, after acquiring the five clusters of the Five Elements essence, Chu Mo picked all the elemental Saint fruits from the tree without leaving a single one behind!

He had already given one to Gold earlier and was now left with thirty-five of them.

Seeing so many elemental Saint fruits, the elemental spirits all started to breathe heavily.

Especially the woman, who took a deep look at Chu Mo before muttering to herself, "Now I owe your family even more, don't I?"

Chu Mo glanced at her, and the woman shook her head, looking helpless, "Unfortunately, I can't resist this temptation... Fine, it doesn't matter if I owe. Back in the day..." The woman halted after uttering those words.

Following that, each of the five elemental spirits received seven elemental Saint fruits.

Watching their excited expressions, Chu Mo couldn't help but ask, "Are these few elemental Saint fruits really that useful to you?"

Gold glanced at Chu Mo and scoffed, "What would you know? For us elemental spirits, these are priceless treasures!"

Earth promptly stored the seven Saint fruits and then remarked, "This is the happiest day of my life since I awakened!"

"Me too!" Water, being always polite, carefully stored the saint fruits and then deeply bowed to Chu Mo, "Thank you for your generous gift, Sir! Perhaps one day, we may be able to assist you."

Wood too bowed to Chu Mo, saying, "Sir, perhaps you do not comprehend the value of these elemental Saint fruits. However, we do not wish to deceive you. For these seven elemental Saint fruits, I'm willing to give half of me to you and revert to the Chaos willingly!"

The woman looked at Chu Mo while laughing, "Alright, stop being so formal. Today, we owe Sir a great debt of gratitude. Rest assured, we will repay this debt in the future!"

Gold added, "Indeed, who knows, perhaps one day... we will also chase after the Great Dao!"

One after the other, the elemental spirits said their goodbyes to Chu Mo. Having obtained their elemental Saint fruits, they were about to start seclusion for cultivation.

As per their words: The Five Elements lands of the Illusion God Realm would forever be sealed starting today!

Whenever they have fully refined all the elemental Saint fruits, it will be reopened. By that time, their very nature would have drastically changed!

"This is a great opportunity!" Suddenly, the woman walked over to Chu Mo, lightly pecking him on the cheek, "Goodbye, my prince!"

Earth, the essence of the Five Elements, laughed heartily, "Sir, we'll see you again!"

"Goodbye, Sir!" Wood, another essence of the Five Elements, also bowed to Chu Mo.

As usual, Water was courteous and polite. He gently smiled at Chu Mo and then took his leave after bowing.

Just before leaving, Gold told Chu Mo that if he ever comes across the golden rabbit, he should take care of her. He also said he needed to visit the Heavenly Layer, to give Si Tutu a little bit of the Five Elements Gold essence, to help her become the Five Elements Gold Body.

"Sir, Si Tutu is an exceptional talent! Since she was taken by that guy, she'll surely come to your side to help you one day. Do not dwell on the past, she is just a sensitive and a bit paranoid girl who's scared of the heavenly spirits," Gold candidly expressed before he transformed into a golden light and vanished.

Chu Mo stood outside the land of Fire, one of the Five Elements of the Illusion God Realm, his mind filled with profound sentiments.

He could clearly feel the affection these elemental spirits held for him, as if treating a kin.

"Is all this... left for me by my kin?" Chu Mo murmured to himself, knowing no one could provide him with an answer.

But Chu Mo's resolve only strengthened even more.

Now, he planned to venture to the Human Layer and inquire about Dong Yu and Qin Shi's thoughts. If they were willing, he was prepared to take them back to the Mortal Realm!

At this moment, Chu Mo could distinctly feel the changes happening within him. The things he was worried about, didn't understand, or was reluctant to do, everything suddenly became clear.

Perhaps this is what experience is, he thought.

A faint smile surfaced on Chu Mo's face.

Suddenly, his communicator started vibrating slightly.

Chu Mo took out his communicator and glanced at the messages, his smile gradually disappeared. The Shangguan family... had already initiated a manhunt for him!

However, they were looking for the man he had disguised as.

They said he had stolen the Five Elements Wood essence from the Shangguan family and described his possible appearance after using disguise techniques. Yet, they could easily confirm his identity.

"He's the inheritor of the Plum Blossom Sword. Anyone who finds a person using the Plum Blossom Sword Technique should immediately report to the Shangguan family. You will be reward handsomely! If anyone manages to kill him, they will befriend the Shangguan family! Moreover, they might have a chance to obtain the Plum Blossom Sword Technique that was glorious for countless years."
