Mo Wen was overjoyed at having successfully crafted his desired instrument. To celebrate becoming a "Peerless Genius," he prepared himself a lavish feast of meat. Of course, Xiao Hei, still deep in slumber, missed out on this indulgence, leaving only the Black-Clad Corpse to "celebrate" with him.
After settling Xiao Hei into the Square Inch World and tidying up, Mo Wen decided it was time to leave the cave. He had been inside for nearly four months, and it was likely that the Chimera and Demon Beasts that had fled were now back. He had successfully avoided those returning creatures, and it was time to continue his journey. Naturally, he was not just avoiding the Demon Beasts and Chimera; he was also steering clear of the exploration teams from the Three Great Empires and various organizations who had entered the forest to seek treasure in Qilin Cave. This time, these teams were far more formidable than those typically organized for gathering materials and herbs, moving quickly as they feared missing out on the rumored Divine Beast. They headed straight for Cloud Mist Swamp without any delays. The cave he occupied was perched atop a steep cliff, and besides setting up a Magic Circle at the entrance, he had also camouflaged it well. Those focused solely on the Divine Beast would not bother to investigate thoroughly.
After paying his final respects to the Black-Clad Corpse, Mo Wen left the cave and stood at the cliff's edge, gazing ahead. A few miles away, the mist had dissipated, indicating that he had finally exited Cloud Mist Swamp. It was time to carefully plan his route.
Two days later, he found himself perched on a branch of a large tree, with a towering mountain in sight. Its shape resembled a sword piercing the heavens; this was Sharp Sword Peak, a well-known landmark adjacent to Cloud Mist Swamp. Seeing this mountain allowed Mo Wen to confirm his location—west of it lay Yan Luo River. Thus, he deduced that he was on the eastern bank of Yan Luo River. As long as he followed the river downstream, he would reach Lianyun Empire. The exploration teams rushing toward Cloud Mist Swamp would naturally avoid traveling along the riverbank to improve their efficiency since both sides were densely populated with high-level Demon Beasts and Chimera. Based on their general strength, he surmised they were likely just arriving near Qilin Cave. Those who had not found the legendary opportunities would not leave easily; even if they held no illusions about such fortunes, they would want some other gains from their hard-won entry into Cloud Mist Swamp.
Continuously assessing potential situations he might face helped him devise a relatively safe route. After careful consideration, he decided to head south along the riverbank before turning toward his previously planned path.
A month later, Mo Wen arrived at the forest where Old Lu once lived. The small cabin had been damaged, and the destruction caused by Old Lu's palm when he came to retrieve his disciple remained vividly imprinted nearby. He initially intended to follow his earlier plan eastward and then southward but discovered that the devastation from Qilin Cave's collapse exceeded his expectations when he reached the spot where he had spent his first night. Ahead lay a massive gorge filled with searing lava that stretched endlessly into the distance—evidence that Qilin Cave's collapse had triggered an upheaval of underground lava throughout the forest.
