Half a year later, Jinxiu City buzzed with activity as a huge influx of resources began to be transported there.

The September Sect, once a renowned name in the Spirit Realm, had been completely erased from existence. In fact, the aftermath of the war that had shaken the heavens, the Immortal Realm, and the Spirit Realm lasted only two months before the entire September Sect utterly fell apart.

In the remaining four months, the three major powers tallied and liquidated the various assets of the September Sect.

Then, they began to continuously ship everything over to Jinxiu City.

Upon receiving a message from the head of the Ping Family, Chu Mo immediately stated that he did not want any of the September Sect's territories or immovable assets.

Thus, the three powers almost all of the movable resources of the entire September Sect straight to Jinxiu City!

They once wanted to fight Chu Mo to the death, but now, they acted quite beautifully!

The not-so-small Jinxiu City could not fit so many resources, not to mention the City Lord's Mansion's warehouses were already full…

"It's time to start establishing Piaomiao Palace," Miao Yi Niang suggested to Chu Mo, who had just come out of seclusion.

Afterwards, Chu Mo selected a site for building Piaomiao Palace, which was located over three thousand eight hundred li away from Jinxiu City in a mountain range.

Miao Yi Niang, Shen Xingxue, Huang Hui, Hua Xiaoya, Qin Shi, Dong Yu, Fang Lan, Ping Ping, and the Lu sisters, all women with bright eyes and white teeth, accompanied Chu Mo. Seeing him loiter at the site, they couldn't help but frown secretly.

To them, the place seemed to have nothing special. The spirit energy was not abundant, and the mountains were not particularly scenic, save for a grand river rushing through them, which was a sight to behold. But what use was that?

Eventually, it was Fang Lan who cautiously approached Chu Mo and asked, "Master, I have something to say."

Chu Mo, who had seen the expressions on the women's faces and found it somewhat amusing, looked at Fang Lan with a half-smile, "Speak freely."

"Well… Piaomiao Palace will be the first faction we build. And with your status in the Spirit Realm right now, Master, it should be… at least a bit more presentable, shouldn't it?" Fang Lan stammered and cautiously observed Chu Mo's reaction.

Although Chu Mo had never spoken harshly to her, Fang Lan's reverence for Chu Mo grew day by day. The more she understood about Chu Mo, the stronger her awe became.

"What exactly are you trying to say? Just speak your mind!" Chu Mo looked at Fang Lan, "The faction hasn't even been established yet, how do you know it won't be presentable?"

"I… Alright, I'll just say it," Fang Lan, who tended to be straightforward, pointed with her hand all around the mountains: "This place, other than being close to Jinxiu City, really has nothing to offer!"

"Hahaha!" Chu Mo couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You should have said just that!"

All the women looked at Chu Mo speechlessly while Huang Hui secretly gave Fang Lan a thumbs up, praising her for speaking her mind.

Chu Mo addressed the women, "Is that what you all are thinking too?"

The women all gave awkward smiles; their respect and awe for Chu Mo wasn't just limited to Fang Lan. Weren't they all feeling the same?

Even Miao Yi Niang felt as if Chu Mo was becoming increasingly distant from them!

Although they still saw him frequently, they all harbored a feeling that perhaps one day, after coming out of seclusion, they would no longer see him.

His advancement was simply too swift!

In half a year's time, he had successfully entered the realm that all Spirit Realm cultivators longed for—half-step Spirit Refining!

That is to say, if he wished, he could already call forth the Heavenly Tribulation and ascend to the Immortal Realm at any time!

No one brought up this issue, nor did they mention anything related to it. They all worried about what they would do if Chu Mo said to them, "I am leaving!"

What would their future Hold? Where would they go?

Fortunately, Chu Mo had never actually spoken those words. He was always reinforcing his own Tao base, continuously strengthening the strongest combat power he could exert at each realm!

In half a year, the number of fights he had with the big rooster had surpassed twenty!

Although the outcome of the battles was unknown, after each fight, the big rooster would disappear for several days, while Chu Mo would always return at the first opportunity.

His combat power had become increasingly formidable.

So formidable that every time Fang Lan proposed sparring with her master, Chu Mo wouldn't even budge an inch, merely using his divine thoughts to condense various attacks, which left Fang Lan struggling to cope.

Although Chu Mo remained as serene as ever, the vast gap made it very clear to these radiant women that he would soon soar to the skies.

"Alright, I know what you are all thinking. In any case, you are the ones closest to me," Chu Mo sighed, then a wistful, reluctant smile appeared on his face. Shaking his head, he didn't continue on this topic but turned to Fang Lan and said, "You think this place is worthless because you haven't seen the hidden spiritual vein here."

"There's a hidden spiritual vein here?" Dong Yu's big eyes shimmered as she looked at Chu Mo, her expression suggesting she wouldn't be fooled. Among all the women, she was probably the only one who managed to maintain her composure in front of Chu Mo.

"Of course," Chu Mo nodded.

"But... but I really can't feel it!" Dong Yu said, even pulling out a small compass from her person. The compass was delicate, only slightly larger than her palm, a dharma instrument from the Heavenly Realm. She murmured with the compass, "The Xingluo Compass shows no reaction; if there were really a spiritual vein here, no matter how deep, it would definitely respond!"

Chu Mo smiled, shaking his head, "No matter how good a dharma instrument is, it's still an inanimate object and not omnipotent."

With that, Chu Mo suddenly performed several hand seals and softly said, "Only true divine abilities can activate the spiritual vein of this place!"

As he spoke, from the center of the mountains surrounding him, faint ripples began to emanate in all directions.

The women were all moved in that instant, for these faint ripples were the most distinctive feature of a spiritual vein.

"Oh my, the Xingluo Compass is moving... This intensity... it... it's still rising! Amazing!" Dong Yu held the compass, calling out excitedly.

The other women were all utterly astonished!

As Chu Mo cast spell after spell, the pulsations of the spiritual vein in this place became incredibly intense—so intense that it left them dumbfounded!

Using the Fengshui Divine Art, Chu Mo kept channeling the landscape, drawing out the massive spiritual vein hidden deep underground. The mountains, originally not so majestic, underwent an earth-shattering transformation in an instant!

The first change was the plants that grew here—they all started to grow wildly, and those with spirit already advanced towards a higher level.

The creatures living in these mountains, many of them prostrated, with tears streaming down from the eyes of those especially spiritual ones!

These were tears of gratitude!

To enlighten them was like giving them a new life!

Before the time of one incense stick had passed, these once ordinary mountains had transformed into a true paradise!

Even the previously insignificant-looking mountain now appeared completely enchanted!

The mountain's stature doesn't determine its spirit; the presence of immortals brings it to life!

Chu Mo's profound use of Fengshui Divine Art had directly changed the destiny of this piece of Heaven and Earth.

This was the true power of the Fengshui Divine Art!

Turning the hand into clouds and the cover into rain, controlling the fate of a place.

"If a sect were built here, it would surely become famous throughout the world!" Qin Shi stared blankly at everything before her, murmuring to herself.
