Heaven Slaying Blade

After assuming the appearance of Chu Mo, Spiritual Master Lingtong curled his lips and muttered to himself: "A bit uncomfortable, but it doesn't matter. In the future... everything will start from me! People simply don't understand that the path to the heavens requires constructing an infinite array... to open it! Without power, where do resources come from? Without resources, how do you build that array?"

Taking a deep breath, the face of Chu Mo, which Spiritual Master Lingtong had transformed into, revealed a faint smile: "This game... is only truly perfect today. It's just a pity that my daughter would rather stay by his side than follow me. It doesn't matter... one day, when I take you all away from this prison, you will eventually be grateful to me."

As Spiritual Master Lingtong spoke, he waved his hand gently, and the entire Xiushui Villa dissipated into smoke and clouds. Together with the people in Xiushui Villa, they disappeared in an instant. From then on, there was no more Xiushui Villa in the world.

In that small world sealed by countless arrays, Chu Mo soon sensed fluctuations and was surprised to find Qi Xiaoyu and Yiyi appearing before him. Shortly after, the Blue Giant Eagle and other sentient beings he had encountered on the road also appeared here.

Chu Mo was slightly taken aback, then a bitter smile appeared on his face. Although this outcome was already terrible, it was not the worst. At least, Spiritual Master Lingtong did not harm them.

Upon seeing Chu Mo, Qi Xiaoyu and Yiyi both rushed over, their faces filled with anger and sadness.

By now, they thoroughly understood that all of this was still Spiritual Master Lingtong's scheme!

These young people, despite their extraordinary wisdom, were ultimately deceived by Spiritual Master Lingtong.

"Husband, I'm sorry, we implicated you." Yiyi said softly, her starry eyes misty with tears.

"Don't say that, at least we're still together." Chu Mo held Yiyi's somewhat cold hand and said with a smile.

Qi Xiaoyu looked at Chu Mo and said softly: "Did he know everything long ago? Did he deceive us on purpose?"

Chu Mo shook his head: "He didn't know."

Remembering what the Buddha had said previously, Chu Mo couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Spiritual Master Lingtong was indeed too complex, and such a person could not be measured simply in terms of good and evil. It could only be said that after countless reincarnations, he had completely abandoned emotions deep inside. To achieve his goal, he is willing to disregard everything!

So, when he learned from Chu Mo that there was no Great Ancestral, and everything was a conspiracy of the ancient clans, he didn't hesitate to imprison Chu Mo here. His hatred for those ancient clans in the Tunnel made him unwilling to stand behind Chu Mo in silent support, but instead, he wanted to act personally to overturn the entire ancient clan!

Perhaps he had other plans, but those plans were not Chu Mo's thoughts.

Once they discussed these matters face-to-face, conflicts would surely arise, and then the thoughts in Spiritual Master Lingtong's heart might not be so easily realized.

The Blue Giant Eagle led those non-human sentient beings over; they were all very disheartened. Instead of feeling implicated by Chu Mo, they hadn't expected to be imprisoned.

The infinite arrays in this small world were all activated, forming a massive prison. All sentient beings were confined here, unable to leave.

Chu Mo glanced at everyone and then said, "Don't think about anything, just focus on cultivation."

With that, he sat down cross-legged and quietly began cultivating.

Qi Xiaoyu and Yiyi both looked at Chu Mo with some heartache; he had given so much to help Spiritual Master Lingtong. After decades of hard work, he finally lifted the greatest restraint on Spiritual Master Lingtong, but ended up with this result. Anyone would probably feel on the verge of collapse.

But he did not, nor did he utter a word of complaint. Yet the more he behaved this way, the more it made the two women feel unjust and pained for him. More than anything, there was a sense of helplessness.

At Spiritual Master Lingtong's level, suppressing them did not require complex means, just a mere thought.

Months later.

On this day, a portal suddenly opened above the small world, and a figure descended from the sky.

This was an elderly cultivator with wrinkles crisscrossed like gullies on his face, and his eyes were already somewhat clouded. His hair was messy, and he wore somewhat shabby clothes. Yet the aura on him made all beings in the small world tremble.

Ancestral realm peak!

This was a powerful elder cultivator.

The divine sense of Spiritual Master Lingtong came through to Chu Mo's mind.

"Child, sever his divine rank."

Chu Mo remained unmoved, then a memory scene appeared directly in Chu Mo's mental sea.

The handsome young man with white hair, Chu Mo, was having a friendly conversation with Gu Bingbing. Judging by the environment, it seemed to be a rather private place.

Chu Mo raised an eyebrow, and his expression instantly turned cold. He hadn't expected Spiritual Master Lingtong to disguise himself as him and now went to see Gu Bingbing.

"Child, be obedient."

The divine sense of Spiritual Master Lingtong continued to transmit, without any hint of threat. It was very peaceful.

But in Chu Mo's heart, a surge of overwhelming fury rose up.

He sent back a divine sense: "No matter what, I have regarded you as a senior. Isn't what you're doing a bit excessive?"

"Not excessive." Spiritual Master Lingtong said calmly, "You and I have different ideas. You want to establish a power to overturn those ancient clans. I, however, want to use this power to destroy all ancient clans and then... leave the entire Tunnel. Child, the foundation you laid previously is very good. Chu Chu is also quite an excellent child. Rest assured, I will do better than you."

"What exactly do you want to do?" Chu Mo asked coldly.

"Help them establish power and then use it for myself. Destroy all ancient clans, establish a supreme array, and leave the Tunnel!" Spiritual Master Lingtong still gave off an impression of complete honesty, as if he found no need to lie.

Because he had immense confidence in the array that trapped Chu Mo!

"To fulfill this wish, I can sacrifice my own daughter. I can plan for countless years! I've waited thirty thousand epochs. Now, it's time to reap the rewards!" Spiritual Master Lingtong's divine sense undulated with a hint of excitement.

"Sacrifice your own daughter?" Chu Mo asked, "What do you mean?"

"In the past, I deliberately took her to meet you, so she would fall in love with you. Under my influence and assistance, you chose to undergo reincarnation. Don't doubt, I indeed saved your life. After you went through reincarnation, my daughter wanted to commit suicide. I helped them split into two and sent them into the Luotian Cosmic Universe. At the time, it was already deduced that at least one of them would have a fateful encounter with you. I didn't expect the result to be even more perfect than I imagined; the two of them became your wives again in this life." The divine sense of Spiritual Master Lingtong flowed calmly and slowly.

"Does that mean, in your heart, anyone in this world can be sacrificed, right?" Chu Mo asked.

"At critical moments, yes. I can even... sacrifice myself." Spiritual Master Lingtong said faintly.

"Then, you weren't awakened only recently. You should have known many things from thirty thousand epochs ago and started laying your plans. But at that time, no one possessed the ability to sever the divine personality; you could only wait. Right?" Chu Mo asked.

Spiritual Master Lingtong was silent for a moment, then answered, "Correct."

"With your level of insight and depth of knowledge, how could you not know that the Great Ancestor didn't exist?" This indeed puzzled Chu Mo greatly.

"This, I truly didn't know!" Spiritual Master Lingtong's divine sense waved with rare resentment: "If I had known earlier, I would have tightened the net many years in advance! Regarding this, one can only say that the influence of those ancient clans in the Tunnel was just too powerful! To create this illusion, they united and even deceived their own clans... forcibly destroying all ancient records of the distant past, creating the illusion of a historical fracture in the Tunnel."

At this moment, a sliver of understanding arose in Chu Mo's heart: The Chu Clan royal family should have started declining after that ancestor who created the Investiture of the Gods encountered disaster. All the gods' lists and edicts of investiture were divided up by those ancient clans. Then, though the entire Chu royal family still appeared tremendously powerful, in reality, it was completely controlled by those ancient clans.

This explains why the Chu royal family met its downfall overnight several epochs ago!

Because within the Chu royal family, a remarkably talented Young Master Chu emerged!

He was even hailed by the beings in the Tunnel as the "peerless Young Master Chu." In the eyes of those ancient clans within the Tunnel, the existence of this Young Master Chu was a massive threat to their status! He might even be a presence comparable to that ancestor of the Chu royal family!

So, in one night, the Chu royal family was annihilated. Even those at the Supreme level couldn't escape unscathed.

We can only say that this world is full of schemes!

Some schemes can hide for endless ages before they are activated, with no one realizing! Once activated, no one can stop them.

These schemes dictate the major trends of the world.

"So, child, many things in this world aren't as simple as you think. They're not that straightforward, nor easy. I've been very honest with you and sufficiently tolerant. Someday, you'll understand my intentions." Spiritual Master Lingtong's divine sense was filled with kindness.

Their exchange was entirely through individual divine sense communication, seeming to last for a long time, but in reality, it was just a mere instant.

At this time, Chu Mo's gaze fell on the disheveled old man in front of him.

"Can you... help me sever the divine personality?" The old man looked at Chu Mo, his eyes filled with a lack of trust.

Who was this peerless Young Master Chu, he had never heard of him. He could only feel that this place was like a prison, imprisoning this white-haired youth. Who was this person? He had no idea. Was he famous? Why did his brother transmit a divine sense, instructing him to come here?

Just as the disheveled old man was lost in thought.

Chu Mo raised his hand and struck with a blade.

The third night watch is delivered, too few recommendation votes, don't be so lazy... Vote more, so that Chu Mo can quickly escape, okay?
