Heaven Slaying Blade

But what Spiritual Master Lingtong never expected was that the monkey disappeared!

After the monkey bade farewell and left them, it vanished without a trace, and there was no sign of its existence in the entire Canggu City!

Even someone of Spiritual Master Lingtong's level, using various methods and the Fengshui Divine Art to deduce... still couldn't find the slightest clue!

This made him both shocked and angry!

That damned monkey... where exactly is it? What does it want to do?

He now also realized that the monkey must have lied!

It must have gained significant benefits from the Supreme!

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to disappear so completely!

Spiritual Master Lingtong couldn't show any sign of anomaly; he needed the entire elite alliance to realize the plans in his heart. He needed them desperately!

Spiritual Master Lingtong locked his divine sense on the monkey's six brothers, on Meng Na, on Zi Dao and Ouyang Fei... but, to no avail!

The monkey didn't go to find them at all.

Spiritual Master Lingtong casually visited Gu Bingbing, then nonchalantly asked, "Where's the monkey?"

"I don't know," Gu Bingbing replied even more casually, "This monkey has always been unfettered; although it's my Left General, I actually don't manage it much. Maybe it's embarrassed to see us because it didn't gain anything this time."

Gu Bingbing said, glancing at Spiritual Master Lingtong, "Chu Mo, I've already sent the plan to attack the Shalan Bandits over to the alliance, and have received their support. The alliance people will infiltrate here in batches during this period. Once we give the order, we'll launch an attack on them!"

Spiritual Master Lingtong sighed and could only nod, feeling very depressed. The monkey's sudden disappearance gave him an extremely uneasy premonition.

But then he thought about the place where his little world was located, with countless arrays. Even a Supreme-level powerhouse wouldn't have a good time rushing in. Let alone the monkey, which couldn't possibly find it; even if it did, it couldn't enter.

Moreover, inside the small world, there were countless more arrays. Once inside, it would be trapped deeply.

With these means set up over countless years, Spiritual Master Lingtong couldn't imagine anyone in this world being able to break them.

"No one can stop me," Spiritual Master Lingtong thought to himself.

Then, he nodded to Gu Bingbing, "Very good, by taking down the Shalan Bandits, we can gain a massive amount of resources, which will play a crucial role in the growth and expansion of our alliance!"

Gu Bingbing's face also showed a joyful expression, "After all these years, our alliance is finally going to shine!"

Spiritual Master Lingtong laughed, "The Gray Land's attack should be soon too; there will be plenty of opportunities for us to fight!"

......

The monkey left Canggu City and in the blink of an eye flew billions of miles away, with a Taichi Diagram suspended above its head. In its heart, it couldn't help but recall the parting advice from the Supreme.

"The Tunnel needs us to guard it, and only Buddha and I... can stop the collapse of the tunnel. If you want to leave the Tunnel, there's only one way, find the path to the Celestial Road. But that road is entirely the manifestation of the Great Dao, no living being knows it; to find that road, you need a certain kind of Dao. The Dao that can be described is not the true Dao... The Great Dao is profoundly mysterious, even we find it difficult to truly comprehend it. However, this world is brilliant, and there will always be geniuses emerging, radiating dazzling light. Young Master Chu is just such an existence, but his fate is somewhat tumultuous. His path is fraught with thorns, making freedom difficult. This time, returning, you must listen to your own inner voice. If you do not see him, there's no need to look for him. Protect yourself, for one day, you will see him."

The monkey never quite understood what the Supreme meant until now. The Supreme must have seen the calamity coming for Chu Mo at that time, but advised it not to seek Chu Mo out and to protect itself instead.

Where could it go to protect itself?

After pondering, the monkey could only think of Chu Chu!

At the same time, it was weighing whether or not to inform Chu Chu of this matter. The monkey feared that hearing this news, Chu Chu would go mad and attack Canggu City.

But if that happened, the entire elite alliance might immediately fall apart!

However, if it said nothing, the monkey truly feared that, one day, when the impostor fully settled his identity, even if the real Chu Mo returned, no one would believe it.

The monkey, with the Taichi Diagram, sealed all the breath on its body, fully unleashing its realm, and madly dashed onwards.

After several years, it finally appeared at One Side City of the Luoshui Family.

But the monkey did not use its own appearance; instead, it transformed into a plain-looking, thin middle-aged man. It spent a day to meet Chu Chu because they had a way of communicating via divine sense before.

When Chu Chu saw the monkey, she wore a look of strong surprise. They had only met once in a cave mansion outside Canggu City years ago, then parted ways. She knew the monkey went to find the Supreme but never expected it to come to her here.

Today, One Side City had already become the headquarters of the elite alliance. Everywhere was filled with people from the elite alliance.

"Brother Monkey, why are you here?" Chu Chu was very happy to see the monkey and greeted it with great courtesy. She knew that the monkey was one of her brother's best friends.

The monkey looked at Chu Chu: "Have you dispatched troops to Canggu City?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Chu instantly realized that there was an issue. She immediately became serious, looking at the monkey: "Yes, Bingbing told me to attack the Shalan Bandits. I was also considering finding an opportunity to train the troops before the invasion of Gray Land's creatures. Only through real war can one quickly grow. So, what's the problem?"

The monkey looked at Chu Chu: "Can you ensure that after hearing the news, it won't affect your rational judgment?"

"Of course." Chu Chu looked at the monkey with a calm expression.

"Alright, it's about your brother." The monkey looked at Chu Chu and did not hesitate, directly expressing its various doubts, conjectures, analyses, and judgments.

Except for some initial emotional stirrings, Chu Chu listened quietly the entire time. Finally, she nodded and said: "No wonder... all these years, it's not that I haven't been suspicious. However, because of our agreement during our last meeting, with my brother in the shadows and me in the light. Plus, over the years, a large number of beings listed in the Investiture of the Gods have been stripped of their divinities, although the process was quite mysterious. But I thought it should be so. Otherwise, it'd be easy to expose. Unexpectedly, there's actually a problem here."

Chu Chu was very calm; at least she appeared extremely composed, showing no impulsive actions. Her exquisite face was cold and quiet.

The monkey looked at Chu Chu with some concern but did not urge.

After a long time, Chu Chu raised her head and looked at the monkey: "Monkey Brother, according to your analysis, my brother surely is still alive, but he should be without freedom."

The monkey nodded: "I think so too."

"But I know my brother's temperament well, and I suppose you also understand, Monkey Brother." Chu Chu said.

The monkey was slightly startled, then said: "He's not someone who can be threatened!"

"No, he's not someone who can be easily threatened." Chu Chu said: "My brother is too kind-hearted, and he values family, friendship, and love deeply within him. After you visited the Supreme, he went to see my two sisters-in-law. I got some information from Gu Bingbing."

While speaking, Chu Chu shared that information with the monkey.

Upon listening, the monkey said excitedly: "Then... it should be confirmed that the person impersonating your brother is Spiritual Master Lingtong! And the method he uses to control Chu Mo is most likely your two sisters-in-law!"

Chu Chu nodded: "But Spiritual Master Lingtong, such a miraculous being, why would he do this?"

Saying this, Chu Chu paced back and forth in the room for a while. After a moment, she stopped walking and softly said: "I understand."

The monkey looked at Chu Chu.

Chu Chu said: "For enormous resources and power!"

"What do you mean?" The monkey was somewhat puzzled. In its view, someone like Spiritual Master Lingtong shouldn't lack resources.

"What he's doing is essentially the same as what my brother wants to do. Therefore, over the years, we've sensed no anomaly. But I'm almost certain their aims must be different. Spiritual Master Lingtong, I know, he has been plotting for ten thousand ages. What he seeks is surely extraordinary. Now, more than half of the elite alliance is under my control. Yet, those beings stripped of their divinities respect even more my brother... um, or you could say, him, Big Brother."

Chu Chu spoke word by word, frowning. She rarely felt perplexed like this, a little unsure of what to do.

"Then, what should we do now?" The monkey was also somewhat troubled at this moment.

Spiritual Master Lingtong's realm is too profound; they are fundamentally not opponents. If they expose his plot now, not only does the elite alliance face immediate disintegration, but it could also be suppressed by all ancient clans in the tunnel.

Surely, no ancient clan could tolerate such a power controlled by someone with strong hostility towards them. Nor would they allow a person capable of stripping divinity to exist in this world.

If they don't expose it, how could they rescue Chu Mo? And after rescuing him, what should they do to resolve this matter stealthily, without bloodshed?

In short, this is a gigantic trouble.

Very difficult to deal with!

After a long time, Chu Chu exhaled a long breath and softly said: "Since he plots so grandly, it surely isn't something that can be completed in a short time. Thus, we will do nothing now! Everything remains as usual! Don't reveal that you've been here. I will send a team of trusted aides to investigate near Xiushui Villa. Also, among the next batch of those stripped of divinity, I will insert individuals we can fully control and see if valuable information can be obtained from them. We can let them relay some information over."

The monkey nodded: "That seems feasible."

......

In a small world, Chu Mo, who had already been in seclusion for years, suddenly felt his Dao beginning to exhibit a sort of integration.

Most importantly, his Heaven's Will I Will Mind Technique, after years of calm cultivation, finally broke through to the fifth Volume.

This Volume of Heaven's Will I Will Mind Technique is the ultimate Volume—Heaven is me, I am Heaven.
