Heaven Slaying Blade

Have you ever had a feeling?

Of course not!

A long time ago, someone already said that Chu Mo is an anomaly.

Chu Mo shook his head with a bitter smile: "No, I have never felt that there is another me in this world."

Xie Xie took a deep breath, a glint of excitement in his eyes, and said with some enthusiasm, "If the facts can prove that you are indeed an anomaly, then... it is likely that you will truly grow. Because the qi movement that originally belonged to two people is now all in you alone!"

Chu Mo thought for a moment and said, "Not feeling it now doesn't mean I won't in the future. This kind of thing is hard to say."

"That's why I say, the true Dao, we have never fully grasped. We, too, are just a group of beings more powerful than ordinary creatures." Xie Xie shook his head with a laugh, then ended the conversation with Chu Mo.

After all, today was his birthday, and staying out of sight for too long would not be good.

He agreed with Chu Mo that after his birthday, he would arrange for Chu Mo and Meng Na to enter the Tunnel.

For others, entering the Tunnel is an incredibly difficult task, but for someone of Xie Xie's status and position, it is not difficult.

Chu Mo returned to the banquet hall and found that Zi Dao was no longer there. Chu Mo felt somewhat regretful. He had wanted to learn more about the universe space where Zi Dao was.

He wanted to know if, in Zi Dao's Luotian Immortal Domain, there was also the Ji Clan's Imperial Clan, and within the Imperial Clan, whether there was a Ji Qingyu? Did she marry Chu Tianji... There were many things he wanted to know.

But he searched throughout the entire banquet hall and could not find any trace of Zi Dao. It seemed as if he had already left.

After returning, Chu Mo received many envious glances. There were very few on this Gray Land who could be personally invited by General Xie Xie for such a lengthy conversation!

Many beings were secretly speculating about who this elegant, Daoist-bone-like old man was.

Indeed, Chu Mo had reverted to his previous disguise. Despite the assurance given by Xie Xie, he did not want to stir up any trouble, especially in front of many from the Red Serpent Clan.

The entire banquet proceeded in a very joyous atmosphere.

However, halfway through the banquet, a significant figure from the Evil City stood up and shouted loudly, "There is wine and meat, but nothing entertaining, which makes it a bit dull."

"What kind of entertainment does General Wulong want?" Xie Xie asked with a smile.

"General Xie Xie, I have some beautiful women from the Human Clan here who are very good at dancing. How about having them dance to liven things up for everyone?" General Wulong suggested with a smile.

Chu Mo sized up this General Wulong. He appeared to be in his forties, was tall and robust, with a full beard, and had a dark blue horn on his head. He seemed to be a Sea Dragon being. Although he had assumed a human form, he probably thought the horn was quite handsome, so he did not hide it.

At this moment, in Chu Mo's spiritual sea, Xie Xie's divine sense suddenly transmitted a thought: "This man... was almost the father-in-law of that unfortunate Red Serpent Clan prince. His true form is a black sea dragon."

Chu Mo's heart slightly stirred, but his face revealed nothing.

Xie Xie's divine sense publicly voiced with a laugh: "A dance, huh? I am sure the dancers General Wulong has found are excellent."

"Then, my humble skills are on display!" General Wulong said, clapping his hands.

At this moment, someone from outside brought in a group of extremely glamorous women. Each one of them could be considered stunning.

Tall figures, fair skin, all emanating a sacred aura.

These women, none of them were below the Holy Realm!

The expressions on their faces were less than pleasant. One could immediately tell that they were all unwilling participants.

Chu Mo's gaze swept over these women, and when he saw the last one, he was directly stunned, a tumultuous wave surging in his mind and heart!

How could it be her?

Another familiar person!

Very familiar!

But the relationship with Chu Mo was not good, even... there was some enmity!

Ouyang Fei!

When Chu Mo first entered the Trial Field, he knew her name, and later learned of a history between Ouyang Fei and Zi Dao. However, she chose to follow Zhong Sheng later. After Zhong Sheng was slain by Chu Mo, Ouyang Fei disappeared. Since then, Chu Mo had never heard of Ouyang Fei again.

Perhaps she returned to her family, or perhaps she secretly hid away to find a place to heal.

Seeing this familiar face again here in the Gray Land stirred a powerful sensation within Chu Mo's heart!

This feeling was even stronger than seeing someone identical to Zi Dao!

The Ouyang Fei before him was definitely not the one he knew because this Ouyang Fei was a giant of the ancestral realm! Yet her entire cultivation had been sealed. It was unclear whose hands defeated her, for such an entity to become a captive.

Of course, this was not the main reason for Chu Mo's inner turmoil. In this place, he saw an ancestral realm Zi Dao, and now an ancestral realm Ouyang Fei, which seemed... to subtly suggest a massive problem!

Whose universe is truly the mirror image!

Just like Greatfoot Xiezun's conjecture, two identical universes are the front and back sides.

But who is the front? And who is the back? I believe either side would insist that the world they live in is the front!

But now, Chu Mo sadly realizes a reality: even if he himself really is an anomaly, it is very likely… that all the people he knows, all those friends and family around him… are exactly the kind of people Xie Xie described, those whose qi movement is insufficient… making it difficult to achieve the Great Dao!

He has already advanced to the ancestral realm, and has no fear of the Heavenly Tribulation. Even if he can't achieve the Supreme in the future, he still has nearly ten million years of life expectancy. But if none of the people around him can achieve the ancestral realm and the Great Dao, wouldn't he have to watch helplessly as all those around him die one by one in the future?

In the end, none of the friends and family he knows will be left. He will be the only one still alive, looking at one lonely tomb after another, feeling boundless loneliness.

This feeling is truly terrifying.

Just thinking about it feels heart-wrenching.

Chu Mo doesn't have a good impression of the other Ouyang Fei; in his own Luotian Immortal Domain, Ouyang Fei abandoned Zi Dao and followed Zhong Sheng.

But this doesn't mean that the Ouyang Fei in another world also separated from Zi Dao.

The scene before him makes Chu Mo realize that Ouyang Fei being captured is probably the real reason why Zi Dao appeared here!

He wants to save Ouyang Fei!

Perhaps even Xie Xie himself doesn't know about this matter. Whether it's the great figures of the ancestral realm or those of the Supreme, no matter how powerful, it's impossible to know everything. Just as Xie Xie said, we can travel the universe and can destroy the heavens and the earth, but in fact, we cannot completely comprehend all the secrets of even the youngest star.

Should he help them?

Chu Mo is actually a very decisive person, rarely is he so hesitant.

Zi Dao wanting to rescue Ouyang Fei here is undoubtedly a fool's dream, not to mention the powerful ancestral realm giants like Xie Xie and Wulong, there are at least dozens of beings at the ancestral realm present in the banquet hall!

All these are beings who stand on the side of the Gray Land!

From Chu Mo's perspective, he should completely harden his heart at this moment, letting Zi Dao and Ouyang Fei fend for themselves, it would be best if this Zi Dao is directly killed. That way, his sworn brother Zi Dao would also be safe!

Completely safe!

From start to finish, without any causality entangling Chu Mo!

As for the life or death of Ouyang Fei, he has even less need to care.

However, deep inside, it is as if a voice keeps reminding Chu Mo: you can't do this! The truth may not be as you think, and what they say about the two meeting leading to oblivion, causing a great disaster… might not be true! Spiritual Master Lingtong… should be a case in point!

Thinking of this, Chu Mo's heart gradually calms down.

Then, he uses divine sense to transmit a message to Xie Xie: "That woman at the end, can you keep her safe?"

Xie Xie is slightly taken aback; he wouldn't think Chu Mo has fallen in love at first sight with that woman. Although she is an exquisite beauty, at their level of cultivation, beauty would only ever be an embellishment, never the main theme. But he couldn't quite fathom Chu Mo's motive.

"Do you know her?" Xie Xie decided to help Chu Mo and Meng Na, but that doesn't mean he's willing to assist others. Helping Meng Na was solely due to Chu Mo.

A human woman at the ancestral realm, Wulong certainly values her. She's here to congratulate with a treasured beauty offered for his longevity celebration; asking for her would surely displease Wulong.

Therefore, without a particularly legitimate reason, he completely desires to leave it alone. Chu Mo, though he appears quite ordinary, not tangled with any evil, is nevertheless unsettling due to the deeply ingrained mischief in his essence… part and parcel of his blood and soul. He finds Chu Mo's way of irrationally involving himself a bit unsettling. Yet, it hasn't reached a point where he would lash out. Against Chu Mo, he certainly has no desire to unleash his wrath.

"That woman, with the one I just warned you to be wary of, are probably a couple."

"What does that have to do with us?" Xie Xie interrupts Chu Mo before he finishes. As adults, you would think he'd heed his prior advice about being cautious of that person, and now here he is, getting involved? Moreover, how does he know they are a couple? Just because they both came through the Tunnel?

Xie Xie isn't considering how Chu Mo might perceive that woman and man as a couple; he's simply feeling a sense of irritation right now.

Chu Mo remains silent for a moment, initially wanting to explain to Xie Xie because he believes that someone like Greatfoot Xiezun would definitely be interested in these matters! They might even sit down together to research. But Xie Xie's indifferent attitude to the issue instantly diminished Chu Mo's interest in discussing further with him.

"Never mind, Brother Xie, no need to bother." Chu Mo replies.

Xie Xie doesn't respond at all; he feels Chu Mo is just creating unnecessary trouble for himself!

Does he really think that just because he is the direct disciple of a Master, he's somehow above all here? The Master wouldn't kill everyone either, right? As his disciple, I need to be more cautious when handling many things, otherwise, it could tarnish the Master's reputation. If not for the Master, I wouldn't concern myself at all!

Xie Xie feels Chu Mo is somewhat overstepping, not realizing what he's missed. Many years later, when he learns the truth of certain matters, he will regret it deeply.

Chu Mo isn't angered, Xie Xie doesn't owe him anything; in fact, he somewhat regretted speaking with Xie Xie immediately after.

Even without his help, could I not have entered the Tunnel myself?

I, Chu Mo… along the way, have met many influential figures and received much assistance. Yet, more often than not, I relied on myself!

I have fully functional limbs, why wouldn't I walk just because I lack a walking stick?

This temperament, Chu Mo has never been lacking.
