Heaven Slaying Blade

Deep inside, Chu Mo didn't actually agree with or accept this statement, because in his view, it was simply too far-fetched!

Not to mention whether reincarnation truly exists in this world—even if it does, why would it happen to him? If he really was a cultivator in the Tunnel before, why would he abandon such great resources there and choose to reincarnate? Was he out of his mind?

However, many signs now indicate that this claim is not unfounded.

Therefore, in Chu Mo's heart, he must understand where this matter actually originates from.

For now, it's best to start with Guo Chang.

Because previously, Chu Mo clearly sensed that Guo Chang seemed to have a very special trust in him! This wasn't intuition—it's a fact. Chu Mo didn't need Ouyang Fei and Zi Dao to tell him what kind of person Guo Chang was; he had eyes and could discern for himself.

He believed that if someone other than him had taken Guo Yaoyao away, Guo Chang would certainly not have let them leave with such ease.

So here's the question, why does he trust me so much?

With these questions in mind, and considering that Guo Yaoyao indeed poses quite a big trouble, Chu Mo decided to take the risk and go back to meet Guo Chang!

This time, Chu Mo traveled at full speed, and it took him only two days to return to that cold land.

Then, Chu Mo activated his divine sense to contact Guo Chang.

The other side almost instantly responded, sounding somewhat surprised: "Why are you back?"

"To return your daughter." Chu Mo replied.

The other side seemed somewhat astonished, but soon, as if understanding something, directly responded to Chu Mo.

"Wait for me!"

A few hours later, Chu Mo met Guo Chang.

This time, only Guo Chang came!

Moreover, he was dressed in casual clothes, and his appearance had changed significantly. Even someone as familiar with him as Guo Xiu might not recognize him at first glance.

Although Guo Chang wasn't able to hide the Dao and aura emanating from him, making some disguise was no problem at all.

Upon seeing Chu Mo, Guo Chang did not immediately ask where his daughter was; instead, he looked deeply at Chu Mo: "You really came back after all!"

This statement in Chu Mo's heart stirred up a great wave!

"You really do know me!" Chu Mo didn't beat around the bush, looking at Guo Chang with a serious expression.

"Unparalleled Young Master Chu, who doesn't know the heroic figure of the Tunnel?" Guo Chang showed a hint of a smile on his face: "The once Young Master Chu was a supreme hero who dominated the world!"

"Once? I also have the last name Chu?" Chu Mo let out a bitter smile.

"The Chu Clan... was once the royal family of the Tunnel, considered one of the top ancient clans. However, the Young Master reincarnated in past years, and the royal family was destroyed overnight; everyone was annihilated, including a Supreme Ancestor of the royal family." Guo Chang was straightforward, without any reservation, directly revealing an ancient story.

"In fact, this matter is not much of a secret in the Tunnel. But it is a taboo that not many dare to mention," Guo Chang looked at the silent Chu Mo and said softly: "Many insiders said Young Master Chu triggered the Great Ancestor's taboo and, knowing he couldn't escape the calamity, chose to reincarnate and start anew. But whether that's true or not, I dare not say."

"The Great Ancestor?" Chu Mo looked at Guo Chang.

Guo Chang said: "Beyond the Supreme, the existence that controls the Tunnel, of course, I haven't seen them, just heard of them."

"Is there really an existence that surpasses the Supreme in this world?" Chu Mo looked at Guo Chang, feeling somewhat incredulous.

The Supreme realm was already an incredibly astonishing existence. From the Ancestral realm... it is entirely impossible to comprehend the Dao of the Supreme. It's hard to imagine what kind of existence a Great Ancestor who surpasses the Supreme would be.

"Even the Supreme cannot walk out of this vast universe. Nor can they truly live as long as heaven and earth. The so-called immortality, jumping out of the Three Realms, not being within the Five Elements, is nothing but a beautiful wish of cultivators." Guo Chang said blandly: "In fact, a star's life expectancy, from its inception to the present, is at least tens of billions of years, and some ancient stars have life hundreds of billions of years. As for those giant landmasses floating across various universes, they might have existed for a trillion years or even several trillion years. Who can know all the ancient secrets buried on them? The universe is boundless, and even an existence like the Supreme finds it challenging to touch its true core secrets. Perhaps, only at the realm of the Great Ancestor can one know a bit of it?"

Chu Mo fell into silence, a bitter smile in his heart, thinking based on Guo Chang's statement, he really was quite impressive in the past... even daring to trigger the Great Ancestor's taboo?

"Is it about cutting the divine status?" Chu Mo asked Guo Chang.

Guo Chang nodded: "It should be this matter!"

Then, Guo Chang looked passionately at Chu Mo: "Have you succeeded now?"

Chu Mo, somewhat bewildered, slightly frowned: "Hard to say... probably, yes!"

"Great!" Guo Chang looked elated, then said to Chu Mo: "Let's make a deal!"

"A deal?" Chu Mo looked at Guo Chang curiously.

"You help me cut off the half piece of divine status on my daughter, and then help me cut off that damned piece of divine status in my wife's head... I can provide you with plenty of cultivation resources and offer you real protection, allowing you to cultivate with peace at the edge of this extreme cold. I can guarantee that, on my territory, unless the Great Ancestor descends, no one can touch you!" Guo Chang looked at Chu Mo: "I can also tell you everything you want to know that I know! No matter how confidential it is, as long as I know, I won't hide it from you!"

Chu Mo could feel that when Guo Chang spoke these words, his emotions were very intense, and the aura around him was full of sincerity, without a hint of falsehood.

Chu Mo also believed that at this moment, Guo Chang's words were likely sincere.

He thought for a moment and said, "I can help you, but I won't stay here."

Guo Chang looked at Chu Mo, "I've never been afraid of trouble."

Both were exceedingly intelligent individuals; Guo Chang understood without Chu Mo having to say why Chu Mo wouldn't stay with him.

"No, I'm afraid." Chu Mo smiled, "You'd best clean up all traces of us having been here. Otherwise, you'll have trouble, and so will I."

Guo Chang thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement, "Alright, I agree!"

Afterward, Guo Chang led Chu Mo to a rather secretive place. He introduced his most beloved woman—Guo Yaoyao's mother—to Chu Mo.

She was a woman who, upon first glance, wasn't stunningly beautiful but upon closer inspection was enchantingly gorgeous. She had an elegant demeanor, comporting herself with grace and poise, exuding the airs of a lady of great lineage.

This woman of the ancestral realm, even upon knowing that Chu Mo could help her remove her godhead, did not show much shock. She merely looked at Guo Chang with tenderness, "Actually, whatever's fine."

Her meaning was simple: As long as I am by your side, I won't be in any danger! The Edict of the Investiture of the Gods is in your hand, and you wouldn't harm me, so what do I have to worry about?

But Guo Chang was resolute, insisting that the damnable godhead in his wife's spiritual sea must be removed!

As must his daughter's!

Both must be removed!

He could overlook the life and death of other cultivators with godheads in their minds, but his wife and daughter had to be free!

To possess true freedom!

In the past, he couldn't achieve this due to his lack of ability, so he naturally never brought it up. But now, since he had encountered someone who could remove godheads, this matter needed to be dealt with immediately!

What if... what if Chu Mo got killed later, who would he cry to?

It's not necessarily that Guo Chang was selfish; indeed, this was the instinct of living beings!

Afterward, Chu Mo released Guo Yaoyao.

Seeing her mother and father, Guo Yaoyao could hardly believe her eyes. She shouted angrily at Chu Mo, "You... you big meanie... you're so bad!"

"Yaoyao, don't be rude." Madam Guo, Guo Chang's wife, looked gently at her daughter.

"Mom... he's a big meanie! I just wanted to play with them for a few days in that warm place where the spring flowers bloom..." Guo Yaoyao said, holding her mother's hand coquettishly.

Guo Chang sympathetically glanced at Chu Mo. He now understood why Chu Mo brought her back. If it were him, he probably would have done the same.

She was simply a huge burden; it wouldn't work to take her along, but to leave her unattended... if something happened to her, for sure, Guo Chang would hold Chu Mo accountable.

"Thank you, friend," Guo Chang said to Chu Mo.

"He's a big meanie! What's there to thank him for?" Guo Yaoyao remained displeased, feeling very disgruntled.

"Yaoyao!" Madam Guo looked at her daughter with some disapproval.

Only then did Guo Yaoyao pout, showing a displeased expression, and angrily sat down to the side.

Then, Madam Guo calmly looked at Chu Mo, "Then, let's start with me."

"What's going on? What's happened?" Guo Yaoyao looked surprised.

Madam Guo glanced at her beloved daughter and said softly, "Young Master Chu is going to help us remove our godhead."

"Ah?" Guo Yaoyao was dumbfounded for a moment, then softly murmured, "Really? In that case, can I go see Grandpa and Grandma?"

Guo Chang's eyes reddened, and with a stern face, he said, "Why see them? They don't like you!"

But Guo Yaoyao just sat there, smiling foolishly, as if she hadn't heard her father's words, talking to herself, "That's great. Dad hasn't been home in years either. They will definitely be very happy and will accept us, right..."

Chu Mo looked at Madam Guo, "The process might be... a little uncomfortable, so bear with it."

Madam Guo smiled and said, "Don't worry, back in the day, I cultivated step by step. From a small cultivator to an ancestral realm cultivator, I weathered many storms."

Chu Mo nodded, fully aware of what Madam Guo was saying.

Then, he directly summoned the Heaven's Mirror and called forth Beheading Path.

Ten blood moons simultaneously emitted immeasurable light, enhancing Beheading Path. Inside this cave mansion, with a gentle wave of Beheading Path's hand, an indescribable power enveloped Madam Guo.
