Chapter 1635 Elite Alliance
The elder's realm suddenly exploded, and he shouted angrily, "You dare?"
The essence energy, spirit, and divine sense within his entire being instantly transformed into something completely different, as if a giant dragon had awakened. His reaction was truly astonishingly quick. The moment Chu Mo made his move, he was already in the process of counterattacking.
But the next moment, all his movements came to a halt.
Because he heard the sound of his godhead fragmenting, a sound that had troubled him for countless years!
The elder's face showed an unbelievable look of shock, blankly staring at Chu Mo. He even subconsciously ignored the intense pain coming from his spiritual sea.
Chu Mo quickly obliterated and purged the godhead of this ancestral realm peak cultivator, then absorbed its immense power through the beheading path.
When the elder's godhead was completely annihilated, an entirely different aura erupted from him!
This aura had a sense of completion.
Chu Mo gazed at the elder with a hint of astonishment. This elder was on the verge of stepping into the Supreme realm!
No wonder his reaction was so swift!
No wonder Spiritual Master Lingtong sent him in first.
So that's the reason!
Just then, the long-silent beheading path suddenly transmitted a divine thought into Chu Mo's spiritual sea.
"Father, don't worry about anything. The absorption of power is sufficient, we ten can break open this small world!"
After saying this, the beheading path fell silent, without a sound.
But inside Chu Mo, waves of shock surged in his heart!
Without the power at the Supreme level, breaking out of this small world seemed unthinkable. Chu Mo didn't even entertain the thought of trying.
Unexpectedly, the beheading path possesses such ability.
For the first time, Chu Mo felt gratitude for the talents of his past life, creating this truly matchless dharma instrument!
At that moment, the elder stared blankly at Chu Mo for a good while before bending over in a bow and saying, "Though I don't know who you are, I am grateful you could help me sever the godhead and release my constraints."
"He didn't tell you?" Chu Mo glanced at the elder.
The elder frowned slightly, "You mean Brother Lingtong?"
Brother Lingtong... indeed, he is Spiritual Master Lingtong's sibling.
"He merely informed me that there would be someone here to help me sever the godhead. However, why do I feel like this place resembles... a prison?" The elder looked at Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi sitting quietly not far away, then at the hundreds of non-human entities in the distance, looking puzzled.
"It is a prison," Chu Mo chuckled.
The elder's eyes showed a trace of embarrassment. Now he's somewhat beginning to understand. His brother must have captured this young man with heaven-defying abilities and made him work.
Indeed, at this moment, a divine thought was transmitted into the elder's spiritual sea—it was Spiritual Master Lingtong, instructing him how to leave this small world and where to wait.
Afterward, the elder looked at Chu Mo with apologies, "Young man, forgive me, but I cannot take you out with me. However, when I meet my brother, I will plead on your behalf. I find you quite agreeable."
The elder spoke, waved at Chu Mo, and his figure gradually faded.
"Child, you've done well." Spiritual Master Lingtong's divine thought wave came.
Chu Mo said coolly, "Aren't you afraid they'll tell me since you're teaching each entity that comes in how to leave?"
"Each person has a different method of leaving. Rest assured, child, I've considered this more thoroughly than you." Spiritual Master Lingtong's divine thought wave was calm: "Alright, I have to get busy, Gu Bingbing's actions are somewhat slow, and I must help her with a few ideas. I don't like to delay."
"..." Chu Mo was speechless, entirely exasperated.
Throughout, Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi over there didn't even glance over, as if they hadn't noticed a thing. Chu Mo already understood, this small world is far more complex than he imagined.
However, from the elder's words, he also gleaned a crucial piece of information, this small world is likely not being carried by Spiritual Master Lingtong himself!
This speculation was directly confirmed by Chu Mo in the days that followed.
With time inching forward, the number of cultivators entering this small world grew steadily.
Over ten years passed, and more than a thousand beings had entered this small world!
This proved that Spiritual Master Lingtong indeed had long prepared for this.
Chu Mo recalled the time at the Heavenly Realm Sea in Luotian Immortal Domain when Spiritual Master Lingtong attempted to integrate the path of Patriarch Heiyu into his body. That must be one of the ways Lingtong sought to control him.
Logically, he should always remain vigilant against Spiritual Master Lingtong, but in reality, this was an overt scheme, a deadlock with no solution. Unless Chu Mo could completely give up Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi, otherwise, sooner or later, he would have to face Spiritual Master Lingtong.
Once the two sides meet, with the strength of Spiritual Master Lingtong, capturing Chu Mo would be effortless.
If there was one mistake in the entire plan that Chu Mo made, it was that he shouldn't have met with the Buddha, and certainly shouldn't have informed Spiritual Master Lingtong of the nonexistence of the Great Ancestor in the world. This was the only mistake Chu Mo made.
"It won't happen again," Chu Mo thought to himself.
Since that time, Beheading Path hadn't spoken again. Chu Mo didn't question it, because if the day truly came, Beheading Path would surely speak for itself.
Chu Mo, along with Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi, built a house in this small world and lived there.
The other non-human creatures quietly continued their cultivation.
Although this was a cage, the essence energy within was quite rich, and with so many creatures cultivating inside, there was no sign of spirit energy depletion.
At this moment, the tunnel world outside remained as relatively quiet and peaceful as before.
But in reality, undercurrents surged and roared silently.
More and more descendants of the ancient clans started distancing themselves from their families, leading teams to perform various tasks. However, in reality, those listed on the Investiture of the Gods were unknowingly stripped of their divinity and fully regained their freedom!
Among them, almost all of those whose divinity was stripped had no idea who was helping them. Because once they entered that small world, all their cultivation was completely sealed, and so were their six senses.
They couldn't see, hear, or smell; all senses vanished!
Then, when they came out, they found that their divinity was gone!
The ecstatic feeling, combined with the mystery of the entire divinity removal process, made these once divine souls endlessly grateful to the mysterious benefactor behind it.
They didn't know the person's name, only that the person was referred to as "Big Brother." And "Big Brother" was a staunch supporter of an organization called the Elite Union!
Big Brother helped them remove the greatest shackle without asking for any reward, not even interfering with their choices. He only suggested that they may consider the Elite Union.
After their investigation, they discovered that the leader of the Elite Union was a very strong woman. Behind her stood the peerless genius of the Luoshui Family, the first of the younger generation, Luo Feihong. Along with her was the emerging talent of the recent years from the Ancient God Family, the Lord of Canggu City, Gu Bingbing. Additionally, many elite descendants from ancient clans supported this woman.
The existence of the Elite Union was known to all the ancient clans. Yet none of them showed any hostility towards this union.
Even when the stripped divine cultivators joined the Elite Union, they faced no resistance.
This powerful force continued to rise, and those who had been stripped of their divinity from the Investiture of the Gods felt no reluctance to join the Elite Union!
Therefore, over the years, out of more than a thousand ancestor realm cultivators stripped of their divinity, fewer than ten chose to quietly retire. But even if they retired, they all kept the matter of divinity removal a secret. Even not considering "Big Brother," they had to consider themselves!
If this matter were to be exposed, the first to suffer would be themselves.
Thus, although there were now hidden currents surging beneath the surface of the tunnel, with so many spirit beings from the Investiture of the Gods stripped of their divinity, this news remained tightly sealed!
At the same time, the Elite Union was rapidly growing and expanding.
In just over ten years, this union had gathered nearly every prominent descendant from the entire tunnel's ancient clans, with over seven hundred people.
Admittedly, the number might not seem much, only developing this many people in ten years.
But if one knew the identities and backgrounds of these over seven hundred individuals, they certainly wouldn't think so!
Among this group, each person was considered an absolute elite within their family. Although not quite on par with Luo Feihong and Gu Bingbing, they were not far behind.
The influence of each person was enough to impact astonishing numbers.
Among these seven hundred core members, even the least powerful one could control everything concerning billions of beings.
Thus, when this force was consolidated, the power it generated could not be entirely ignored by even the most deeply-rooted ancient clans.
However, the beauty of this union lay in its bizarre composition!
It included descendants from almost all ancient clans, and thus far, the Elite Union maintained exceptionally good relations with each ancient clan.
Even if there was vigilance, no one would dare act against it at this point.
And this was precisely what Spiritual Master Lingtong wanted.
It was also what Chu Chu and those people wanted.
In fact, this was the situation that Chu Mo had wanted earlier!
So, over these years, the nearly ever-absent Spiritual Master Lingtong succeeded in deceiving everyone.
The name "Big Brother" gradually replaced the name Chu Mo.
Becoming a deity in the hearts of many beings!
