Heaven Slaying Blade

Chu Mo looked at Gu Bingbing and asked, "Are there any other clues?"

Gu Bingbing nodded, "Do not doubt the intelligence capabilities of the ancient clans. Despite the fact that nearly all of them are decaying, their foundation is still very strong. That's why I never considered conducting the alliance in secret. It's impossible to hide it from those with intentions. However, regarding your matter, it must be handled with extreme caution! Rest assured, the entire Canggu City is under our control. No information will leak out."

Gu Bingbing continued, "While reviewing the information of Xiushui Villa, I found its history to be astonishingly ancient! It should have been around for more than thirty thousand epochs."

Hiss!

Chu Mo couldn't help but gasp, looking at Gu Bingbing in shock.

Thirty thousand epochs?

How many epochs can a cultivator in the ancestral realm actually live?

If one cannot step into the Supreme Realm, even if they survive through countless epoch tribulations, ultimately... they can only live around seventy-two epochs, right? At seventy-two epochs, if a giant in the ancestral realm cannot break through, they either choose to seal themselves, becoming one of the "foundations" of their family.

During times of family crisis, they will be awakened to contribute the last bit of strength for the family!

At that time, cultivators in the ancestral realm are absolutely fearless of death. Because for them, death is right in front of them! To live a few hundred years more or fewer, it makes no difference.

Or, they might choose reincarnation.

But with reincarnation, no one remembers their former lives, which is quite a sad thing.

Just as many believe Chu Mo's past life should be the "peerless Young Master Chu" in the Tunnel. But in fact, even if it were true... Chu Mo doesn't remember anything from the past life. How to awaken, and what awakening entails? No one knows.

An ancestral realm cultivator can live a maximum of more than seventy epochs, which is already impressive life expectancy. But that Xiushui Villa has existed for more than thirty thousand epochs? What does that mean?

Who is the owner of Xiushui Villa? They never interact with the outside world, shrouded in mystery!

Gu Bingbing continued, "Then, I checked the true timeline of the Chu Clan's royal family's obliteration... You know, this piece of information is somewhat taboo, and I wouldn't have access to it at my previous level. After investigating, I discovered a problem: the true obliteration of the Chu Clan's royal family should be over ten epochs ago. It's really ancient."

Chu Mo smiled bitterly, "Indeed, it's ancient, a million years ago! But what connection does the Chu Clan's royal family have with Xiushui Villa?"

Gu Bingbing said, "It seems these two are separated by a vast span of time. But shortly before the Chu Clan's royal family perished, a mysterious figure appeared in Xiushui Villa and visited the Chu Clan. This matter was extremely secret and classified highly. My current level barely qualifies me to look it up."

Gu Bingbing's current level is quite high. Even within the Ancient God Family, she is considered a notable figure. Her claim of barely qualified indicates the information's confidentiality is exceedingly high.

"This information wasn't classified as top-secret because the person from Xiushui Villa did not make any further moves following those years. This matter, therefore, seemed like a coincidence at best and faded into the vast sea of information in the Ancient God Family's intelligence network," Gu Bingbing looked at Chu Mo, "You also know, the history of the Tunnel actually has gaps, but when exactly did they begin, no one knows. However, a place existing since over thirty thousand epochs ago being so obscure even today, that's abnormal!"

Chu Mo nodded.

Gu Bingbing stated, "I then checked the existence time of the Ancient God Family and found it was established about forty thousand epochs ago… The ancestor of the Ancient God Family built this family."

Chu Mo softly asked, "So you're saying the Ancient God Family has now existed for more than fifty billion Tunnel years?"

Gu Bingbing nodded, "Even I was shocked at the time, fifty billion years, how many generations must that have spanned? The term 'ancient clans' really isn't an exaggeration, they're incredibly ancient. Back to what we discussed earlier, after discovering these facts, I began to wonder who the owner of Xiushui Villa might be, besides, they've nearly never emerged throughout these billions of years! They are truly a hidden family! The scarce records of emergence, the first time, someone went to the Chu Clan; the second time, was to exchange cultivation resources to breakthrough to the ancestral realm for two Great Saints."

Gu Bingbing continued, looking at Chu Mo, "And your two wives were taken from the Luotian Universe a few years ago, having the cultivation level of the Great Saint Realm. Whoever could enter the Luotian Universe to take them must be at the Supreme level. Xiushui Villa is too mysterious, but I believe there must be a Supreme in there! Now, do you still think there's no connection?"

"But I have heard that even the Supreme's life expectancy is not perpetual, they're not truly immortal. The Supreme's life expectancy… It's about… less than a thousand epochs, right?" Chu Mo looked at Gu Bingbing, "And you're saying Xiushui Villa has existed for thirty thousand epochs already…"

Because Xie Xie once said his master, Big Foot Evil Sovereign, lived over fifty million years, with half of his life spent. So, the Supreme's life expectancy isn't that prolonged, not even a thousand epochs.

Gu Bingbing looked at Chu Mo, "You didn't know a Supreme can live through dozens of lifetimes?"

"…" Chu Mo looked at Gu Bingbing, shaking his head in astonishment, "I didn't."

Gu Bingbing sighed gently and said, "That's true! Reaching the Supreme Realm, though still not achieving immortality, they can easily choose reincarnation. Moreover, they are practically exceptions in this universe!"

Chu Mo was shocked, looking at Gu Bingbing, "What are you implying?"

"I'm suggesting that those Supremes you hear about today, no one knows how many years they have truly lived!" Gu Bingbing sighed, "Creatures that break from the ancestral realm to the Supreme Realm are extraordinarily rare! One might say, between the ancestral realm and the Supreme Realm lies a real barrier! This barrier… is enough to stop countless creatures. But if one truly crosses it, reaching the Supreme level, they can genuinely traverse the world. As life expectancy nears its end… they can choose reincarnation, the universe to reincarnate in is irrelevant, even if they occasionally release a small portion of soul power, appearing as another self in the mirror universe… it's unimportant. They have ways to awaken the memories of their prior life in the shortest time possible, then regain their cultivation level swiftly once more. You have seen many cultivators breaking into the ancestral realm, but how often have you seen one impacting the Supreme level? Moreover, before one reaches the Supreme, you might never see or hear of them!"

"According to your theory, the owner of Xiushui Villa probably is such a Supreme level being? And he has reincarnated dozens of times?" Chu Mo still found it hard to believe.

"I am guessing that because Xiushui Villa is abnormal," Gu Bingbing said earnestly, "A place existing for thirty thousand epochs, it's not logical to be so obscure in the Tunnel. Honestly, if it was not so strong, without a terrifying presence supporting it, it would have been annihilated by the ancient clans long ago. How could it still exist today? In fact, any place that can stand in the Tunnel for more than a thousand epochs is not simple."

Chu Mo looked at Gu Bingbing in silence, he had to admit, cultivators reaching this level, their intellectual power is terrifying. Their calculative ability is beyond ordinary imagination. They can even predict the entire cosmic trajectory!

Yet, Gu Bingbing's strong analytical ability still amazed Chu Mo. If it were him, he likely couldn't find several key intersecting points among such vast information.

Gu Bingbing read Chu Mo's expression, knowing what he was pondering, she smiled, "It's not as magical as you think. You don't understand the information sources of the ancient clans. Though confidential, it doesn't matter sharing it with you. It's a gigantic array, specifically designed to process all intelligence! No matter what information, once reported there, it can never be manually erased, unless… the array is destroyed. But this won't happen as long as the ancient clans exist. During queries, as long as your divine sense thinks about what you want to check, the related information will be transmitted to your spiritual sea. This simplifies calculation significantly. And the biggest advantage is that if your authority is sufficient, what you query, others don't know."

"I see." Chu Mo was somewhat emotional, thinking that even so, finding to Gu Bingbing's degree must be quite difficult. How did she trace back to Xiushui Villa? Surely after examining countless immeasurable information, she eventually found it.

This effort is truly a great favor, although Chu Mo said nothing, he remembered it in his heart.

"Compared to your kindness to me, this matter really is nothing." Gu Bingbing said softly, smiling slightly at Chu Mo. She was smart enough to sense Chu Mo's thoughts from his demeanor. She looked at Chu Mo and added softly, "I only wish to help you find them quickly. Of course, these are my speculations, I dare not guarantee they're entirely truthful. Just feel there is some correlation between the two."

"This news is already quite important to me!" Chu Mo looked at Gu Bingbing with gratitude.

Gu Bingbing sighed lightly then smiled and said, "Xiushui Villa is around two years' distance from here. If using a teleportation array, it would take about three months to arrive."
