Heaven Slaying Blade

Time flies like a shuttle, and another twenty years have passed.

The Elite Alliance has developed into quite a terrifying power. The alliance leader is always that peerless, yet tough-handed woman. Even among the core members, few know her name, and even if they do, they dare not call it directly.

Chu Mo's divine rank, however, remains unsevered.

But even the Luoshui Family can no longer view Chu Mo with the old eyes.

Willing or not, they must admit that Chu Mo is a truly remarkable woman, a heroine worthy of heartfelt admiration!

Over the years, the Elite Alliance has shown no major movements. It seems to be just a loose federation. The members carry on their daily business and gather only occasionally.

Faced with numerous beings from the Investiture of the Gods being taken to the Elite Alliance by the clans, the various ancient clans in the Tunnel are not without reaction.

From the intelligence they received, those beings haven't changed at all.

No one resists, and no one escapes. Everything remains as it was.

Days of peace have lasted too long, making everyone numb. These ancient clans are the same; they never considered that numerous beings from the Investiture of the Gods have had their divine ranks severed, fully regaining freedom.

On this day, Canggu City suddenly became lively. The monkey that vanished for seventy or eighty years suddenly returned!

The monkey's return didn't alarm many people; it immediately tried to contact Chu Mo with divine sense. Yet... even upon seeing "Chu Mo," the monkey still couldn't reach Chu Mo with its divine sense!

The monkey has always been quite smart; it has never been a fool.

Facing the situation, the monkey didn't show any abnormal behavior, instead it hugged "Chu Mo's" shoulder warmly.

Spiritual Master Lingtong's preparations over ten thousand ages are undoubtedly thorough. His understanding of the monkey is no weaker than Chu Mo's.

If not for the initial divine sense failure, the monkey would indeed take him for Chu Mo. It was seamless, without any flaws!

To the monkey, this was truly uncanny!

A being much stronger than Chu Mo, why would he impersonate Chu Mo? What's his intention?

Later, from Gu Bingbing who rushed over, the monkey learned about what happened these years. Hearing that numerous beings from the Investiture of the Gods had their divine ranks severed, the monkey was instantly delighted.

Then it asked, "Brother, do you really dare to do this? Aren't you afraid..." The monkey murmured as it pointed to the sky.

"Chu Mo" smiled, "Someone has to do it eventually. If I don't do it now, there will be similar concerns later."

"Well said!" The monkey praised, then looked at Gu Bingbing, "What about my six brothers? Their divine ranks?"

Gu Bingbing glanced at Chu Mo, with a hint of subtle resentment in her eyes. Since returning, he hasn't mentioned his two wives, nor his experiences, and has become very reticent. According to her guess, in all probability, something happened to his wives, causing him enormous grief. Thus, she dared not ask further.

All these years, she's always kept her affection for Chu Mo, but Chu Mo has always kept his distance.

By now, Gu Bingbing is somewhat losing hope.

At this moment, "Chu Mo" said, "The six of them, are a bit too conspicuous. Among the beings from the Investiture of the Gods in our batch, and many modern beings, I haven't severed their divine ranks. Because doing so would easily attract others' attention."

The monkey nodded, "Mm-hmm, you're very thorough in your consideration." Yet its heart was icy cold!

In these years, so many beings have had their divine ranks severed, what does this imply?

There are only two answers: One, the real Chu Mo is alive and controlled by this impostor; two, the real Chu Mo's ability to sever divine ranks has been acquired by this impostor, after his brother is gone.

The monkey quickly calculated and deduced internally that the latter possibility is very slim.

In the Tunnel world, over ten thousand ages, only Chu Mo has emerged as such a prodigious genius, discovering the Great Dao to sever divine ranks. If such a skill could be easily acquired by others, it would've been researched already.

Now, there's just one question: Who is the impersonator? Why does he impersonate Chu Mo so convincingly that even my six brothers can't tell the real from fake? Had I not used divine sense to connect with Chu Mo's, I couldn't have detected the anomaly.

The monkey's realm now approaches Supreme, having its own fortunes and experiences over the years. Its computational ability has greatly improved compared to the past. Thus, it almost instantly calculated that the greatest possibility for this impersonator is Spiritual Master Lingtong!

This all happened almost instantaneously, so even Spiritual Master Lingtong sitting across from the monkey couldn't know what the monkey was pondering at that moment.

Then, Gu Bingbing asked with concern, "Brother Monkey, did your journey... yield well? Did you meet Supreme?"

The monkey sighed and said with a bitter smile, "I saw."

"You saw... then why do you still have that expression?" Gu Bingbing's heart was heavy.

The monkey said, "I saw the Supreme, but did not see that old peach tree. The Supreme said, the old peach tree... left long ago."

"Then, did the Supreme say anything else?" Spiritual Master Lingtong looked at the monkey and asked.

The monkey nodded, "The Supreme said that such things are originally the way of the Heavenly Dao. If all living beings reach the end of their life expectancy, but can still keep their souls intact, it equals truly being undying and immortal. The Supreme said that there is no true undying and immortal existence in this world. Unless one can leave this world, truly walk out. But the Supreme also said, that path... is almost impossible to succeed."

"I see..." Gu Bingbing said with a bitter smile, "Even though I already knew this would be the outcome, I'm still a bit disappointed."

Spiritual Master Lingtong sat there and said lightly, "There is nothing to be disappointed about, because this is the meaning of existence for the vast majority of life in this world. Since this is the case, let's continue to promote the growth of the Elite Alliance. I think, sooner or later, we will find that path."

Gu Bingbing nodded, a faint smile appearing on her face, as she looked at "Chu Mo" and said, "Compared to those ancient clans, our power is certainly inferior, but below the ancient clans, there aren't many forces that can rival us anymore. You see, even the Shalan Bandits have been quite quiet these past years. I've even heard that they've developed the idea of leaving."

"Leaving?" Spiritual Master Lingtong sneered, "The Elite Alliance, since its establishment and throughout these years, has been silently developing. I think it's time for us to show some strength, starting from... the Shalan Bandits."

"You want to fight the Shalan Bandits?" Gu Bingbing was slightly taken aback.

Spiritual Master Lingtong nodded, "What do you think?"

Gu Bingbing nodded vigorously, "Alright, I've long wanted to wipe out this band of thieves!"

The monkey sat there, thinking: If Chu Mo were here, would he do the same? As he kept thinking, the monkey realized that even if Chu Mo were here, he might have the same choice! Moreover, if it were Chu Mo, he might not be able to do better than this imposter!

Truly perplexing!

The monkey finally felt somewhat terrified.

It looked at Gu Bingbing and "Chu Mo" and said, "I've been away for too long, and I really miss my group of brothers. I'm going to visit them!"

Saying this, the monkey directly bid farewell to the two and vanished into the void.

Gu Bingbing somewhat sighed and said, "After so many years, I thought I could get good news from the monkey, but never expected... sigh."

Spiritual Master Lingtong looked at Gu Bingbing, but in his heart, he felt a bit wary because he could sense that the monkey... was not warm enough towards him!

This felt really odd!

Although the monkey came up and hugged his shoulder, looking quite affectionate, given the relationship between the monkey and Chu Mo, the monkey should have gathered its six brothers rather than leaving on its own like this.

Could it be... it really noticed something?

Spiritual Master Lingtong also felt a bit uncertain in his heart. However, on second thought, he didn't care too much.

Because over the years, he has been secretly planning, and the title of "Big Brother" has already been deeply ingrained in many people's hearts. He was actually not at all afraid of this group of young people like Gu Bingbing, Chu Chu, and Luo Feihong. A group of kids, he had them in the palm of his hand. What he was truly apprehensive about were the Supreme figures within those ancient clans!

Only those existences were the true reason for his apprehension, the fundamental reason why he dared not make any big moves to this day.

The Elite Alliance still needs to continue to consolidate, needing to be tempered through battle after battle.

This time, according to Spiritual Master Lingtong's calculations, would take about ten thousand years!

Using the vast resources of the Elite Alliance, and about ten thousand years, to cultivate a large number of beings with the battle power of the Supreme realm!

Indeed, not to cultivate beings with the Supreme realm itself, as the Supreme realm cannot be cultivated. It requires the utmost talent to succeed. Moreover, there's almost no one in this world who can control beings of the Supreme realm.

At that level, almost no one would choose to let someone else be their boss.

So, cultivating cultivators with Supreme-level battle power became the best choice.

For this method, Spiritual Master Lingtong had long been prepared.

In a sense, this true giant planning over ten thousand ages was indeed better suited than Chu Mo to carry out this task.

Therefore, Spiritual Master Lingtong absolutely could not allow his plan to be disrupted in any way. Even his daughter could not interfere! That's why he instantly sent his two daughters to Chu Mo's side.

Now, with the monkey, there might be a slight variable, and Spiritual Master Lingtong thought to himself: You, monkey, had better be sensible. Otherwise, I really don't mind killing one more peerless Heavenly Genius.
