Heaven Slaying Blade

Chu Mo looked at Chu Chu and asked, "What's going on between you and that legitimate son of the Luo family?"

"Him... he's pursuing me." Chu Chu's pretty face blushed slightly as she softly said, "I haven't agreed yet, but he's a good person, someone you can trust."

"Are you sure?" Chu Mo looked at Chu Chu.

Chu Chu nodded, "I'm sure. Before, to help me regain my freedom, he even said he'd use his primordial spirit to swear not to betray you."

Chu Mo's mouth twitched, "He doesn't need to swear..."

"Yeah, even I didn't expect to suddenly have a younger brother." Chu Chu was somewhat resentful about this; she originally wanted to be an elder sister wholeheartedly. Having a little brother to care for... isn't actually bad!

"You'd better obediently be the younger sister." Chu Mo said with a smile.

"Then how about I call him over now, and you can meet him?" Chu Chu tentatively looked at Chu Mo, "Actually, I think he's... really quite nice."

"Are you interested?" Chu Mo asked.

Chu Chu nodded slightly, "A little."

With that, she recounted to Chu Mo the conversation they had before his arrival.

Chu Mo nodded after hearing this, "So, this person really isn't bad. Let's call him over so we can meet him."

Then, Chu Chu directly used her divine sense to summon Luo Feihong.

Luo Feihong, on his side, had been waiting impatiently, scratching his head. Although he had already guessed that there likely existed a very close relationship between Chu Chu and Chu Mo, it was still speculation. What if Chu Mo had some ill intent?

Despite the formidable arrays at the City Lord's Mansion, he was still worried.

So, after arranging some matters, he anxiously waited outside the City Lord's Mansion.

Receiving the divine sense transmission from Chu Chu, Luo Feihong instantly became invigorated, his face lighting up with joy. He quickly slipped into the City Lord's Mansion and then, following the tunnel of arrays, went underground.

This tunnel of arrays was something only he knew. Even the City Lord of One Side City... didn't know about them.

As soon as Luo Feihong entered, he first looked at Chu Chu. Seeing her smiling radiantly, without a hint of trouble, he breathed a sigh of relief and then turned his gaze to Chu Mo, "Young Master Chu, I am Luo Feihong."

Chu Mo glanced at Luo Feihong with a smile, "You should call me brother."

Chu Chu rolled her eyes dramatically from the side; she had never seen someone so eager to give away their own sister. Yet, in her heart, there was a feeling of sweetness. Having a brother indeed felt nice!

Luo Feihong was initially stunned, instinctively glancing at Chu Chu beside him.

Chu Chu's pretty face blushed slightly, and she softly said, "He really is my brother."

A huge wave of joy erupted from Luo Feihong, manifesting in a bright smile on his face. Then, this unrivaled prodigy from the Luoshui Family, looking rather fawning, clasped his fists toward Chu Mo and loudly declared, "Brother, please accept a bow from your younger brother!"

The appearance of this brother-in-law was somewhat magical, but it didn't matter; the brother-in-law didn't object! For Luo Feihong, eager to receive everyone's blessing, this was an incredibly joyous occasion!

Who cares if those in the family don't give their blessings? The brother-in-law has already nodded! Who in this world can stop him from marrying Chu Chu?

Chu Mo smiled as he helped Luo Feihong up, and his first impression was still good.

Then, Luo Feihong couldn't wait to ask, "Brother, can you really shatter the divine persona? If it's true, please help Chu Chu shatter the divine persona in her mind! Rest assured, I will keep this secret. If I break this vow, let my primordial spirit be shattered and perish!"

A cultivator of the ancestral realm can make words come true with even greater power!

But Luo Feihong didn't care at all and directly made this vow.

Beside them, Chu Chu's eyes glistened with a touch of watery mist. Any girl would find it hard yet fortunate to meet such a loving man in her life. Not to mention, Luo Feihong is an exceptionally outstanding young man.

Chu Mo looked at Chu Chu, and Chu Chu shook her head slightly, "No, brother, don't shatter my divine persona now. I'm afraid if this gets out... the whereabouts of the Edict of the Investiture of the Gods are still unknown..."

Luo Feihong said stubbornly: "Who dares to trouble me? Who dares to trouble you?"

Chu Chu slightly shook her head: "No, I don't want anyone to be implicated."

Chu Mo glanced at Luo Feihong and said calmly: "The Edict of the Investiture of the Gods is in my hands."

"What?"

"What?"

Both Chu Chu and Luo Feihong were somewhat stunned, staring blankly at Chu Mo.

"How is it possible?" Chu Chu was completely incredulous.

Luo Feihong also looked puzzled at Chu Mo, furrowing his brow, and slowly said: "Let me think about it… Brother, you shattered your divine character in the ancient battlefield of the Luotian Universe, then entered the Gray Land through the Green Stone Gate. Now you've fought your way back… Did you, in the Gray Land, meet Zi Dao and Ouyang Fei?"

Chu Chu also looked at Chu Mo with surprise: "Brother, you met them? Are they okay?"

In the past, Chu Chu was good friends with Zi Dao and Ouyang Fei. All these years, she had been worried about their safety.

Chu Mo nodded and said: "I indeed encountered them, and I also brought them back to the Tunnel. Now, they are all safe. But they also haven't shattered their divine character. Including some of my other friends, none of them have shattered their divine character. They all have the same concerns."

"That's what I mean, there's no need for it now." Chu Chu looked at Chu Mo and earnestly said: "I don't want you all to be drawn into this matter."

Luo Feihong said somewhat excitedly: "That's great, truly great! With the Edict in brother's hands, Chu Chu is absolutely safe! Brother, you must keep this token safe. Whatever happens, don't let any mistake occur. The token absolutely needs to be sealed. Otherwise, if we're too close to the Luoshui Family, they will sense it."

"Don't worry, I will keep it safe." Chu Mo nodded in agreement, then looked at Luo Feihong: "By the way, among the batch of beings that entered the Tunnel with Chu Chu, there are six non-human clan cultivators — Roc, Roc, Cat, Bull, Snowy Sea Dragon, and fox. Where are they? Feihong, do you have a way to gather them? I have something I want to discuss with them."

"Them?" Luo Feihong thought for a moment, then said: "It's a bit difficult because they seem to be scattered, but borrowing them for a while should be no problem. They should grant me this favor."

Chu Chu then looked at Chu Mo: "Brother, do you know them?"

"I know the other of them." Chu Mo replied.

Luo Feihong looked shocked and said: "The other of them? This kind of thing… it really happened?"

"How so? Was there no record of similar occurrences in the Tunnel before? I was just about to ask you." Chu Mo said.

"No, there have been records, though they are quite rare." Luo Feihong said: "This kind of thing, generally speaking, shouldn't happen. In corresponding universes, almost every being has a counterpart of themselves in the other universe. I don't understand the secret hidden within this, but my main focus is on the Great Dao of reincarnation. I have some understanding of this phenomenon."

"Then tell us." Chu Mo looked at Luo Feihong, as he was too curious about this matter.

This phenomenon should be related to reincarnation." Luo Feihong spoke slowly, furrowing his brow, and said: "Any being, including humans, doesn't have just one soul. Generally, humans have three souls and seven spirits, while other beings have two souls and six spirits, one less than humans. So humans… are the most fortunate beings in this world. They are also the most suited for cultivation. But during reincarnation, the three souls and seven spirits will separate. This explains why some people reincarnate into other types of beings. For instance, in this life they're human, but in the next life… might become a bull or a horse. Of course, this involves causality, a deeper Great Dao. I don't understand much about causality. But one thing can be almost certain: no being can maintain a complete soul during reincarnation. Because if so, they would know everything by birth!"

"Know everything by birth?" Chu Mo and Chu Chu looked at Luo Feihong with some confusion.

"Yes, know everything by birth." Luo Feihong said seriously: "This means, once a soul is complete during reincarnation. The moment they are born, they are aware of all past causes and effects. They know everything about their former life! Such… is too aberrant! It simply cannot exist in the world. Therefore, beings during reincarnation usually split their souls. Separately enter two corresponding universes. Then, in these two universes, two almost identical people appear. Because their souls were originally one, when they reach a certain cultivation level, when their souls become whole again, they will have a sensing of another self in the world."

Chu Mo and Chu Chu both listened somewhat dazedly. Indeed, the knowledge here is too profound. It's comprehensible for them, but for the average person, it would be more baffling.

"These are all my speculations, but I believe, my speculations are the closest to the truth." Luo Feihong said earnestly: "Because I've studied records of encounters in the Tunnel from both sides. Generally, such meetings have three possibilities."

Luo Feihong looked at the two: "The first is annihilation, which is the most common; the second is fusion, where the two meet and irresistibly merge into one. Then you'll find, the person formed by this fusion has no sense of discord, as if they were meant to be one person; the third is coexistence, becoming two independent entities. Like… well, like twin brothers! Each lives their own life!"

"You've researched this as well?" Chu Mo looked at Luo Feihong intensely.
