Heaven Slaying Blade

Chu Mo casually found a quiet place to sit down, observing the furnishings of the Xie Mansion. From the overall architecture and the pavilions and towers, down to a single ornament, he could feel that the owner here was not merely a warrior. In his bones, he should be a very thoughtful person.

The formal banquet had not yet begun, but various rare fruits and drinks had already started to be supplied without limit. Chu Mo casually ate an unfamiliar fruit, feeling his spirit invigorated. The sweet sensation permeated his heart. Then came a warm current spreading through his entire body.

"Good stuff!" Chu Mo couldn't help but praise in his heart. This single fruit was worth seven days of accumulated cultivation using the Heaven's Will and My Will method. This demonstrated its rare value, given that Chu Mo's cultivation speed already far surpassed that of other cultivators.

For other cultivators of the same realm, this fruit was worth at least twenty days of arduous cultivation! And this had to be a cultivator of the ancestral realm level.

A fruit like this, if given to an ordinary person, would instantly elevate their strength and cultivation from having no foundation to reaching the true immortal level. And it wouldn't have any adverse effects. Strength and cultivation could be enhanced like this, but comprehension and understanding of the Dao require time to accumulate. Of course, it also requires talent!

Dao is not something that everyone can comprehend.

This kind of fruit, even in the Luotian Immortal Domain, would absolutely be considered a top-tier fruit. To see it in the Gray Land here is already somewhat surprising. For the Xie Mansion to use it to supply a large number of guests without limitations, such a gesture is indeed astonishing.

Chu Mo tasted some other fruits, each with a different flavor but all exceptionally delicious, with the energy contained within not varying much.

Chu Mo thought to himself: It seems that General Xie Xie not only has taste but is also a wealthy and powerful tycoon!

As he was thinking, someone nearby softly said, "Are you alone, fellow Daoist? Do you mind if I sit here?"

Hearing the voice, Chu Mo was suddenly startled and instinctively raised his head, glancing up as a massive wave surged in his heart!

Because this person was too familiar to Chu Mo!

Zi Dao!

From appearance to voice, even to the charm emanating from the body, this person was almost identical to Zi Dao!

Even their gazes were remarkably alike!

It could be said that at the moment Chu Mo saw him, he already regarded him as Zi Dao.

However... this simply couldn't be Zi Dao!

As sworn brothers, Chu Mo knew better than anyone where Zi Dao should be now.

He was with Liu Yunfeng and the others, diligently closed off for cultivation. Even if his cultivation speed was incredibly fast, it couldn't be like this person before him... already reaching the ancestral realm level!

Indeed, the "Zi Dao" before him was an authentic giant of the ancestral realm!

Chu Mo was incredibly shocked, for he instantly thought of one possibility—the alternate universe!

If things were truly as he imagined, Chu Mo would not know how to handle it.

Kill this person? Would his sworn brother Zi Dao be well for sure? Is it really like that? Apart from Spiritual Master Lingtong, perhaps no one could say for sure. Whenever he thought of that shadow-like presence, seemingly watching him from the dark, Chu Mo would feel an uncomfortable sensation throughout his entire body.

The key was, Chu Mo simply could not deduce whether this "Zi Dao" appearing before him was a coincidence or implied something.

In Chu Mo's realm, any thought is merely an instant, or even a fraction of an instant, like lightning.

To this Zi Dao, it seemed that Chu Mo just looked up at him and then gave him a smile.

"Of course you can." Chu Mo said.

The person identical to Zi Dao also smiled, sitting opposite Chu Mo, then looked at him with gentle eyes, "Fellow Daoist, for some reason, when I saw you, I felt familiar, as if we had met somewhere."

"Oh?" Chu Mo smiled. The person before him was communicating with him through a separate deep fluctuation. That is to say, he didn't want others to hear their conversation.

"Since I came to this damned place..." The person explained with divine sense, "It's been ten years now. Only seeing you suddenly gave rise to this feeling. So, please don't blame me for being so forward, fellow Daoist."

"It's okay, I also feel quite close to you." Chu Mo replied with divine sense, then asked, "Could it be that fellow Daoist comes from the outside world?"

The person nodded frankly: "I come from a place called the Luotian Immortal Domain."

"..." Chu Mo blinked: "Another universe?"

"Yes, completely different from this damn place." The person smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect to encounter such an experience either."

"Haha, aren't you afraid others will hear and be unhappy if you say it like that?" Chu Mo responded with a smile.

"I wouldn't say that to them."

The person raised his brows, an action that gave Chu Mo a moment of daze, truly feeling like facing Zi Dao. Aside from cultivation, this person really did resemble Zi Dao in every other aspect!

Appearance aside, exactly the same, even someone at Chu Mo's level couldn't find a single difference. The demeanor, aura, and temperament... all almost identical. The voice, expressions, and even small habits, like raising a brow... were completely identical!

Really... too similar!

Even though Chu Mo had now become a true leader in the ancestral realm, upon witnessing such events, he could only smile bitterly in his heart.

This type of path... he truly couldn't comprehend. He wondered whether the Supreme realm could clearly explain what exactly was happening.

"Well, I'm not a person of the Gray Land anyway," Chu Mo said.

The person's face revealed an expression of happiness; his honesty had finally exchanged for the honesty of the one before him. In fact, he couldn't fully express what kind of feeling this was in his heart. Seeing this person felt inexplicably close, as if this person should be his brother!

"My name is Zi Dao."

"My name is Chu Mo."

After they finished speaking, they exchanged smiles.

But Chu Mo's smile was very bitter and helpless. The thing he worried about most still happened!

He should be an anomaly, but Zi Dao... clearly wasn't. And coincidentally, the Zi Dao living in the universe corresponding to the Luotian macrocosm suddenly appeared before him. Moreover, in terms of cultivation, he was far more advanced than Chu Mo's sworn brother Zi Dao!

"I feel that there should be many things we can discuss," Zi Dao said.

"Yes, let's find a time and opportunity, I also want to have a good discussion with you," Chu Mo nodded earnestly.

No matter what, since this matter has already occurred, it definitely needs to be clarified. In any case, he would not let his sworn brother Zi Dao suffer any harm.

At this time, suddenly heard a burst of cheers from the crowd.

"General Xie, may your life expectancy be boundless!"

"General Xie, congratulations on your life expectancy!"

"Congratulations, General!"

"Best wishes, General!"

A flurry of congratulatory voices sounded from the mouths of many people.

Chu Mo and "Zi Dao" exchanged a glance, ceased their conversation, and looked toward the source of the sound.

They saw a handsome young man with a warm smile, walking with a stately stride. Beside him were several extremely beautiful women accompanying him, presumably his wives and concubines.

"This is Xie Xie, a very influential figure."

"Zi Dao" communicated with Chu Mo through telepathy.

Chu Mo nodded. He suddenly noticed that General Xie Xie seemed to be walking in his direction. He instinctively glanced around. This place was relatively secluded, with not many beings coming to pay respects.

At this moment, "Zi Dao" communicated with him through telepathy: "It seems he is coming for you."

Chu Mo was also a bit puzzled, wondering if he had been exposed. But it seemed unlikely. If he were truly exposed, someone of Xie's status and position shouldn't bother to personally come to him and take action. It was even less likely that he would cause an embarrassing scene at his own birthday banquet. That wouldn't make sense.

Even if he truly wanted to take action, it should happen after Chu Mo left the Xie Mansion.

"Thank you all friends for coming here today to support Xie. Today, let's indulge and enjoy. The wine... is good wine; the dishes are good dishes! Everything is open for supply, wishing everyone a pleasant evening!" Xie Xie's voice was filled with an inciting power. Even beings of the ancestral realm would feel invigorated after hearing Xie's words.

Xie Xie continued, "I have a personal friend to entertain, please enjoy the feast, and I will join everyone later!"

At this time, the attendants and maids in the Xie Mansion began to carry large trays, moving through the entire feast. Various delicacies emanated tempting aromas from the trays.

For a moment, the atmosphere here became very lively!

Those who were truly familiar with Xie Xie in the Gray Land knew that despite General Xie's frequent cheerful demeanor, like his name containing the character "Xie," he was quite unconventional!

Hence, whatever he said, everyone listened. If anyone dared to give him trouble, like saying: "We've come as guests, and you say you have a personal friend to entertain? Obviously, you're looking down on us!"

With someone else, you might get an explanation. But if it were Xie Xie, he might suddenly give you a knife. He wouldn't care if you were supporting or sabotaging!

Then he'd smile and ask you: "Is this explanation clear? Transparent enough?"

Of course, it's transparent, you're already through!

Such incidents had happened before, so when Xie Xie said he had a personal friend to entertain, everyone showed great understanding.

But saying there was no curiosity at all was also impossible. Who on earth could be Xie's personal friend?

Then, everyone saw Xie Xie walk to the elderly man with an immortal demeanor, around fifty, and smiled slightly: "Fellow Daoist, shall we have a private conversation?"
