"How dare you!" A majestic voice thundered through the Heavenly Court and echoed across the Nine Heavens, seemingly filled with endless rage.

The entire Heavenly Court seemed to change color as the auspicious clouds surrounding it turned pitch black, making the whole court seem as though it had plummeted into Hell.

For many years, no one had seen the Jade Emperor this furious.

The people holding the core of the Immortal Transformation Pond saw this and were scared out of their wits. They knew that the Jade Emperor was venting his rage, and they dared not delay for a moment.

They immediately started to flee, while also shouting, "We have already obtained the core and released the souls of your disciples. It’s time for you to keep your promise."

No sooner had the words fallen than many figures burst out from various parts of the Heavenly Court, all cultivators rushing for the sake of their disciples.

Most of them lived reclusively among the mountains, unconcerned with worldly affairs, but to think they were weak was a joke.

Previously, facing the overwhelming Heavenly soldiers, they had no choice because of their locations in the forest group. But now, gathered together, they formed a formidable force.

Moreover, due to their years of cultivation practice, their connections should not be underestimated. Many friends within the Heavenly Court knew the purpose of their visit, hence among the Celestial Beings of the Heavenly Court, few were resentful, and many were sympathetic.

Countless immortals arrived here from the sky, intending to capture the audacious criminals. However, while they shouted vehemently, they were reluctant to deliver lethal blows.

In the meantime, those holding the core of the Immortal Transformation Pond had already fled far away.

"Chase them!" someone shouted loudly.

After all, the core of the Immortal Transformation Pond was the most crucial item. It wasn’t worth wasting time here with those obstructing.

All the immortals chased after the core.

"Should we still stop them?" one person asked in a deep voice.

"We’ve fulfilled our promise, and our disciples’ souls have gained their freedom. What happens next is their concern," replied another.

Seizing this opportunity, several individuals scattered and escaped.

From the outset, they had agreed that once they had the core, they would first release the souls of everyone’s disciples and then naturally obstruct the Celestial Beings to facilitate the escape.

This was sworn under a great oath of the Heart Demon, and breaking the oath would immediately afflict them with a Heart Demon, leading to their death and their souls devoured by the Heavenly Demon.

Hence, they weren’t worried about those fleeing playing any tricks.

No one expected that these obstructions would be so effortless, not realizing that over the years, many of their disciples had become officials in the Heavenly Court, naturally going easy on them to allow an easy escape.

At this moment, the Heavenly Court was in chaos due to the explosion at the Immortal Transformation Pond, with everyone chasing the group that had taken the core and escaped.

But this group had plotted for many years and wouldn’t fail to prepare thoroughly. They stormed into one of the Heavenly Court’s buildings, and instantly, they were out of sight.

The immortals started searching within the Heavenly Court, which was in complete disarray.

Who would have thought, in such chaotic moments, in the mysterious courtyard of the Heavenly Forge Bureau, Mr. Mo, changing his usual habits, slowly opened the courtyard gate.

The Heavenly soldiers guarding the courtyard looked at him in surprise. Mr. Mo had always kept to himself and rarely came out. Perhaps today’s situation had drawn him out.

"What’s happened outside, why is it so chaotic?" Mr. Mo asked.

"Sir, didn’t you hear? The Immortal Transformation Pond was blown up by a band of thieves, and now the whole Heavenly Court is after these audacious criminals," said the Heavenly soldier, excitedly.

Watching the excitement is human nature; these Heavenly soldiers, having resided in the Heavenly Court for years, had long grown weary of their monotonous life. How could they not be concerned about such a grand spectacle now?

His words immediately caught Mr. Mo’s attention, who chuckled and said, "Oh, there’s such a thing? The Immortal Transformation Pond was personally crafted by the Elderly Lord and several Rune Masters as a treasure. How could it be blown up?"

"Absolutely true, who knows what means these people used, but the Immortal Transformation Pond just exploded like that!" While saying this, the Heavenly soldier even gestured with his hands to indicate the immense noise of the explosion.

"Oh, this is quite interesting; I’ll go have a look at the excitement myself," Mr. Mo said with a smile.

"Since you are interested, sir, we would naturally accompany you there," the two Heavenly soldiers said with a flatteringly smile.

This was their assignment, and they dared not slack in the slightest. The person above had said, if Mr. Mo stepped out of this compound, they should not leave his side for even a moment. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Of course, let’s go and see," Mr. Mo nodded and took the lead, with the two Heavenly soldiers hastily following behind him.

No sooner had they left than two figures in black appeared nearby.

"Mr. Mo is quite active today," he said, puzzled.

This mysterious Mr. Mo had been carefully studied by him; he was a very reserved person, seldom frivolous, often lost in his own world.

Yet today, he seemed unusually active, which worried the two Heavenly Court spies who had been tailing him.

There must be a monster behind abnormal behavior, and indeed, Mr. Mo’s reaction was unusual.

"Could it be due to the chaos in the Heavenly Court today?" one asked.

"I don’t know. Let’s follow and see; we can’t let him out of our sight."

The group headed towards the east.

After a while, the gate creaked open again, and a figure walked out—it was the previously departed Mr. Mo.

A slightly ethereal butterfly perched on his shoulder, flapping its wings softly.

"Rest assured, my puppet would not be recognized by even the Divine Exorcist Great Saint himself in a short time," Mr. Mo confidently said.

At that moment, a pitch-black crack spontaneously appeared in the void, and Mr. Mo smiled lightly, stepped into the crack, and instantly disappeared.

And the ethereal butterfly flitted gracefully, not towards the Gate of the Southern Heavens but instead flew towards the critical area of the Peach Garden in the Heavenly Court.

Mr. Mo stepped into the crack, and in the blink of an eye, he found himself in an entirely new world. A giant tree that touched the sky stood in the distance, piercing the heavens, with numerous starlights being drawn down to this world, enveloping the majestic city below in a sprinkle of light, looking utterly magical.

"Ha-ha, to think it was really made," Mr. Mo said with a touch of delight.

He had made that blueprint many years ago but had never been able to realize it, believing that this city might forever remain a construct of his mind.

However, today, when the city materialized from his memory before his eyes, he was still immensely thrilled.

"Mr. Mo, congratulations on escaping your cage and regaining your freedom," a hearty voice called out.

It was Lin Fang arriving with a group of monsters to greet him.

"Yes, it hasn’t been easy. After all these years, I have finally found myself again," Mr. Mo too sighed with emotion.
