Heaven Slaying Blade

Chu Mo dared to make a move in this cave to help Madam Guo sever her divine persona; it was also a test!

The arrays in this cave are so powerful that even the Supreme would find it difficult to explore. This is also Guo Chang's strongest protective measure for his wife.

Chu Mo wanted to try to help Madam Guo sever her divine persona here to see if it would elicit any reaction. If not, that would be great! In the future, he could help more people sever their divine persona. As for Guo Chang, this descendent of the Cold Ice Family lacking a divine persona—since the moment he made the decision, he was already on the same boat with Chu Mo!

If he dared to reveal such things, it would undoubtedly be a road to ruin. Moreover, Chu Mo could clearly sense that there was a strong sense of rebelliousness in Guo Chang's bones!

Although he himself lacks a divine persona and belongs to that group of vested interests, he seems completely unaccepting of it himself...

That is enough.

Beheading path directly took action, severing Madam Guo's divine persona.

Guo Chang and his daughter Guo Yaoyao were watching with tense expressions, their hearts held at their throats.

Guo Yaoyao dared not utter a word, fearing she might disturb Chu Mo.

In her heart, she thought if they could truly sever the divine persona, it would mean true freedom!

Whether mortal or cultivator, any living beings' yearning for freedom is the utmost motivation driving them to do everything.

Madam Guo let out a muffled groan, a trickle of blood flowing down her lip, but in the blink of an eye, a tremendously strong aura erupted from her body. A huge burst of life force exploded from within Madam Guo's being.

Such an essence energy, whether it was Guo Chang or Guo Yaoyao, they had never seen it on her before.

The aura belonging to a true ancestral realm giant returned to Madam Guo at this moment.

Beheading path displayed a hint of fatigue on its face. Yet the shattered divine persona transformed into an incessant stream of power, pouring into the body of beheading path.

So, in just a moment, beheading path became spirited and nodded at Chu Mo, transforming into a beam of light, returning to the Heaven's Mirror.

The Heaven's Mirror quietly flew back into Chu Mo's body.

The entire cave was filled with a quiet aura.

Everyone remained silent, all eyes on Madam Guo.

After a long while, Madam Guo exhaled deeply and softly said: "I almost forgot... what freedom felt like."

"Mother!" Guo Yaoyao burst into tears, instantly throwing herself into Madam Guo's arms.

Guo Chang's eyes were red, and suddenly he kneeled with one knee to Chu Mo, saying, "Thank you, Young Master Chu, for your immense grace!"

"Please, rise quickly." Chu Mo hurried over to help Guo Chang up, then said: "It was just a small effort."

"Young Master's small effort is my lifelong wish!" Guo Chang said gratefully, "In this world, only Young Master possesses this talent and ability; only Young Master has such capability. Others, even those at the Supreme level, cannot achieve this."

"What about me, what about me!" Guo Yaoyao asked eagerly, looking at Chu Mo: "What about me!"

Guo Chang glanced at his daughter and solemnly said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Let Young Master Chu rest for a moment!"

"Oh... I'm sorry, I forgot." Guo Yaoyao stuck out her tongue, then apologized to Chu Mo.

Chu Mo waved his hand: "No worries, we can start now!"

Saying this, he summoned the beheading path once again.

Guo Yaoyao possesses a semi-divine persona and is also a cultivator in the Great Saint Realm. Theoretically, her divine persona should be easier to sever than Madam Guo's. However, in reality, it's not the case. A semi-divine persona doesn't mean Guo Yaoyao's divine persona is only half the size. Instead, her divine persona is mixed with another spiritual power to form something as large as a complete divine persona suspended in the sea of her divine sense.

If it were a complete divine persona, it would be simple; beheading path would take direct action to sever it. But Guo Yaoyao's type of divine persona requires meticulous extraction, severing bit by bit, without harming the condensed spiritual power.

Because if those areas were harmed, what would happen to Guo Yaoyao—no one knew.

Upon learning of this, even Guo Chang showed rare hesitation. He is a decisive person, and his wife is equally decisive. They are giants of the ancestral realm; who hasn't weathered great storms? So there's no need for long deliberation; once a decision is made, it's acted upon!

But now, as it involves their daughter, it makes them inevitably hesitant.

However, Guo Yaoyao, inheriting that decisive trait from her parents, remains resolute: "Young Master Chu, please help me sever this divine persona. Even if something happens to me, I wouldn't blame you in the slightest!"

"Yaoyao..." Guo Chang looked at his daughter, his expression uncertain.

"Father, Mother, you don't need to say anything. My mind is made up. I've wanted to get rid of this thing long ago. Even if it means dying, I don't want to live forever under the disdainful gaze of others!" Guo Yaoyao said with a determined face.

Madam Guo gently patted her daughter's head and said softly, "Alright, since you've decided, let's do it!" Turning to Chu Mo, she added, "Young Master Chu, this time... you're really too much trouble!"

Guo Chang took out a large pile of herbs, each sealed with numerous charms. Yet still, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out from them.

Watching, Chu Mo's eyelids twitched, as even the most inferior among these herbs were of the Holy Medicine level! There were even several Great Saint Medicines!

"These are not really valuable things; gratitude for the Young Master's kindness isn't in these," Guo Chang said sincerely to Chu Mo. "It's just to help the Young Master restore some of his consumed strength."

Consumed?

Was it consumed?

Of course, it was... But that was the consumption of beheading the path.

Moreover, Chu Mo also discovered that after beheading the path to cut off the target's divinity, it would directly absorb the power within that divinity to make up for the immense consumption.

As for whether there would be any danger after absorbing these fragments of divinity, Chu Mo hadn't sensed anything for now.

He assumed there shouldn't be any major problems.

For Chu Mo himself, there was no consumption at all, so he wanted to refuse Guo Chang's kindness.

But Guo Chang was very insistent, so in the end, Chu Mo could only accept. This way, Guo Chang could be at ease, and Chu Mo did indeed desperately need these top-grade elixirs.

These elixirs are life-saving items at critical moments. Even for a cultivator of the ancestral realm like him, they are still essential.

Then, the beheading path made a move again.

But this time, the entire process lasted a full three days!

During these three days, Chu Mo, Madam Guo, and Guo Chang did not leave for even a step, nor was there any interaction throughout. They all witnessed the process of the beheading path cutting off Guo Yaoyao's divinity.

Several times during the process, the expression of the beheading path turned exceedingly pale, and its aura became extremely weak. The other nine blood moons frantically transferred energy to the beheading path. Even so, it felt insufficient.

At this point, Chu Mo had no choice but to take action himself. During the process, he even consumed an entire holy medicine!

It was a whole plant!

For this, Chu Mo could only be grateful for the holy medicine that Guo Chang provided. Otherwise... it would have been quite troublesome.

Three days later, the half-divinity in Guo Yaoyao's spiritual sea was finally successfully separated, and the remaining part of the divinity-like essence naturally disappeared from her spiritual sea.

The whole process was actually rather painful, a level of pain that even surpassed what Madam Guo had endured. But this young girl, who had never endured hardships before, gritted her teeth the entire time. Even though the pain almost made her faint, she did not utter a single sound of pain.

This level of endurance even made Chu Mo look at her in a new light.

In the end, Guo Yaoyao vomited blood a dozen times, each containing a significant amount of divine imprint.

The beheading path seemed completely uninterested in these half-divine imprints and did not absorb them, so they were all expelled by Guo Yaoyao through vomiting blood.

These divine imprints and fragments appeared in the cave the moment Guo Yaoyao's blood gushed out, transforming into an invisible force, seemingly trying to break the seal and escape.

Guo Chang, Chu Mo, and Madam Guo's expressions changed simultaneously, knowing that they absolutely could not let these divine fragments and imprints leave this place!

The three of them took action simultaneously, directly refining the fragments. It took two hours to completely cleanse these things.

Finally, the three of them sighed in relief, exchanged glances, and smiled.

This time, Guo Chang, Madam Guo, and Guo Yaoyao, the family of three, knelt on one knee before Chu Mo, expressing their gratitude for everything that Chu Mo had done for them.

Chu Mo hurriedly helped each of them up.

Guo Yaoyao was somewhat weak and was taken away by Madam Guo to rest. However, this girl seemed to still be thinking about Chu Mo, being pulled away by her mother with each step and looking back three times. The little glances she gave Chu Mo at the end made him even a bit afraid to meet her gaze.

This young girl, just beginning to understand emotions, seemed to have developed some feelings for him.

Guo Chang acted as if he knew nothing about this and did not mention it at all, instead pulling Chu Mo aside to talk about many things.

Including the once mighty ancient clan, the Chu Family, within the tunnel, and the distribution of various forces in the tunnel.

The few ancient clans that still remain powerful today, such as the Ancient God Family and the Luoshui Family, the Cold Ice Family where Guo Chang belonged, and the Minghe Clan, among others.

This, of course, also included Chu Mo's past life that he still didn't dare to confirm... the unparalleled Young Master Chu.

Guo Chang also discussed with Chu Mo that he, too, disliked items like the Investiture of the Gods, feeling that their existence humiliated all cultivators under Heaven!

Creatures that cultivate to the ancestral realm, which of them don't have pride running through their veins? How can these darlings of Heaven and Earth be treated like slaves, to be commanded at will?

But not even him, nor even if the Cold Ice Family, Luoshui Family, Ancient God Family, and Minghe Clan joined forces, could change this state! Moreover, almost no one in these ancient clans, from top to bottom, is willing to change this situation.

After all, they are the beneficiaries, so why would they want to change?

Regarding this, Chu Mo could only smile wryly. But in his heart, a vow formed: I must change all of this!
