Heaven Slaying Blade

Even Chu Mo himself cannot determine precisely why he broke through to this realm. Perhaps it was the nearly century-long retreat and cultivation. Having his two wives by his side kept his heart for the Dao calm and steady to a certain level, allowing him to finally break through the last volume of Heaven's Will, My Will.

Throughout these near-hundred years, Chu Mo understood from the very beginning that he absolutely couldn't leave this small world!

The numerous layers of arrays blocking the way, let alone him, even a Supreme being wouldn't think of easily leaving without completely breaking those arrays. Therefore, his initial anger wasn't particularly intense. It was more of a chill in his heart, feeling that Spiritual Master Lingtong's actions were quite treacherous.

But he didn't despair because Spiritual Master Lingtong neither had the reason nor the intention to kill him. He even brought Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi here, along with the Divine Birds and Divine Beasts Chu Mo received on his way to meet the Buddha, thereby relieving him of any strong feelings of guilt towards them.

Over the years, aside from occasionally slaying a sealed being's divine spark, Chu Mo truly lived without desires. Perhaps it was precisely this mindset and state of mind that led to his current achievements.

The fifth volume of Heaven's Will, My Will is truly strong to an unimaginable degree.

In the past, it would take him half a day of cultivation to accumulate essence energy, but now, he only needs a single breath. And it's a very natural kind of breath. That's enough!

It's terrifying!

Only a cultivator who truly reaches his level can genuinely comprehend this strength.

Once his mind method advanced to the fifth volume, the Dao within Chu Mo's body, which hadn't changed for years, began to show some signs of agitation.

It was a sign of starting to merge.

All paths converge into one!

Any cultivator surpassing the Holy Realm would understand this concept.

But understanding it and being able to do it are entirely different matters.

Without being Supreme, no being can truly achieve all paths converging into one.

Because the Dao is not something that can be forcibly merged.

Take Chu Mo's thunderbolt Dao and the Dao of chopping wood, for instance—how can these two completely different Dao truly merge together?

When you don't understand, it's simply impossible!

But once you understand, you'll find that it isn't difficult.

"To know what you know and to know what you do not know." Chu Mo opened his eyes, divine light beginning to flow from them. A kind of unspeakable aura began to emerge from his body.

In the end, this aura flowed out from every part of Chu Mo's body bit by bit.

Finally, it condensed into a divine radiance that surged along his body and exploded outward suddenly!

At that moment, the entire small world was shaken.

First, Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi opened their eyes, looking at Chu Mo with faces full of shock.

After being trapped here for so many years, both women had made significant progress in their cultivation. But compared to the outside world, it wasn't particularly different. Because both women always harbored guilt in their hearts. This emotion couldn't be soothed by Chu Mo.

They couldn't understand for themselves!

Clearly, they are family, so why can't they be together nicely? Why can't they sit down and communicate calmly if there is something? Why resort to this kind of approach?

Their anger far exceeded that of Chu Mo. Therefore, their progress wasn't particularly great. But until today, they both realized that Chu Mo's progress was truly astonishing!

What does that divine radiance represent? Could it be that he is about to step into the Supreme level?

The Great Dao within Chu Mo continuously fused.

All paths converge into one, all methods return to one source. This made the aura on his body become increasingly apparent.

Those Divine Birds and Divine Beasts in the distance of the small world were struck speechless with shock, and in the end, as the divine radiance on Chu Mo grew increasingly intense, Divine Birds and Divine Beasts began to kneel down directly, paying homage.

This is a form of respect for a truly top-tier powerhouse!

In the end, all the Divine Birds and Divine Beasts prostrated themselves there.

This scene lasted for an entire year!

During this year, Chu Mo surprisingly did not receive any interference.

No beings on the Investiture of the Gods were sent in, and Spiritual Master Lingtong did not say a word to Chu Mo.

As if it was preordained by Heaven, Chu Mo was allowed to complete all of this thoroughly without any disturbance.

A year later, all the aura from Chu Mo's body was entirely withdrawn, and then, he slowly opened his eyes, within which were pure clarity, as still as an ancient well.

Looking towards the two women, a faint smile appeared on Chu Mo's face, a smile that was pure and clean.

"Husband!" The two women spoke in unison, gazing at Chu Mo, their eyes slightly reddening.

"After so many years, can neither of you still let go?" Chu Mo smiled gently, "Actually, this might not be a bad thing. If I were outside, perhaps I wouldn't have had so much time to focus on cultivation. Hence, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today."

After a pause, Chu Mo continued, "If I were outside, perhaps I wouldn't necessarily have done better than him either."

"But why couldn't he just say it outright? Why use such methods?" Qi Xiaoyu still harbored deep and intense resentment toward Spiritual Master Lingtong and was very angry.

Spiritual Master Lingtong himself didn't know that he was the first elder to truly enter the deepest part of Qi Xiaoyu's heart! She had profound attachment to him.

In this life, Qi Xiaoyu is of the Elf Clan; she was born without parents in the true sense, as is the tradition of the Elf Clan. In the past, Qi Xiaoyu felt this was normal. Because she was an Elf, it was impossible to have her own father and mother like other races.

But this mindset quietly changed after meeting Spiritual Master Lingtong.

It turned out, I had a past life; it turned out, I had a father and mother in my past life! My father was an exceptional cultivator; my mother was an exquisite beauty! Although I don't know where she is, I deeply miss her.

That was Qi Xiaoyu's previous thoughts; she was very meticulous and hid it well without revealing it to anyone.

Thus, even Water Yiyi and Chu Mo didn't know Qi Xiaoyu had these thoughts.

The deeper the love, the deeper the resentment.

Spiritual Master Lingtong's actions indeed hurt Qi Xiaoyu, hurt her heart that had only recently melted.

Therefore, for a hundred years, Qi Xiaoyu never forgave Spiritual Master Lingtong.

Until today, until Chu Mo spoke these words, Qi Xiaoyu's resentment suddenly poured out, and she suddenly felt she didn't hold such deep resentment against Spiritual Master Lingtong anymore.

"Whether things are spoken or not spoken, they're actually the same." Chu Mo smiled, "Because the one who has attained enlightenment is today's me."

Qi Xiaoyu and Water Yiyi both showed thoughtful expressions; they started to understand.

Indeed, the one who attained enlightenment is today's Chu Mo!

If Chu Mo hadn't attained enlightenment, how would he have understanding and forgiveness toward Spiritual Master Lingtong? If he remained unenlightened, it would be as if Spiritual Master Lingtong had imprisoned him for life!

This was indeed a grudge, and a deep one!

Thus, sometimes the line between gratitude and resentment is very thin.

Just like good and evil, in the adult world, it's often not so clear-cut, nor purely one or the other.

Spiritual Master Lingtong actually hadn't communicated with Chu Mo for many years; both sides seemed to have already formed a kind of tacit understanding. He wouldn't disturb Chu Mo's quiet cultivation, and Chu Mo wouldn't deliberately fail to cooperate and not cut into the divine spirit entering here.

Thus, both sides maintained a balance under a kind of tacit understanding.

But this balance will be broken one day.

Chu Mo knows, and believes Spiritual Master Lingtong knows too. It just depends on whose ability is slightly higher.

Clearly, in this regard, Spiritual Master Lingtong has absolute confidence in himself!

Since sensing that the monkey might know something, Spiritual Master Lingtong had long stopped sending spirits from the Investiture of the Gods into the small world.

Now, he is busy preparing for the battle against the Shalan Bandits!

Deployments from Canggu City were ultimately sensed by the Shalan Bandits, who have always been incredibly unrestrained without any fear. They even paused all activities and started their own deployments.

The Shalan Bandits, too, have been an organization existing for many years; their deep foundations are actually unknown to almost anyone. The information mastered by the various races may not be truly accurate. To survive in the Tunnel for so many years, they are definitely not baseless fame.

Moreover, recently a kind of saying has quietly spread within Canggu City.

It is said that the Shalan who once lost an arm by a slash wasn't the real leader of the Shalan Bandits, though her name is Shalan. In reality, she was only the current little master of the Shalan Bandits!

Each generation's leader of the Shalan Bandits is named Shalan!

This generation's leader of the Shalan Bandits is an existence at the Supreme realm! A terrifying and unparalleled cultivator!

This saying seems to be deliberately released by someone and spread throughout Canggu City in a very short time.

"Don't worry, they intentionally released it to scare people," Spiritual Master Lingtong said calmly, "Even if there truly is an existence at the Supreme realm, so what? Others may not know, but I am fully aware that I am an existence at the Supreme realm myself!"

Furthermore, Spiritual Master Lingtong's foundation and realm as a cultivator wouldn't fear any opponent of the same realm.

Perhaps when he reveals his true realm, there may be some unfavorable rumors about him. But it doesn't matter. Gu Bingbing has already prepared a flawless identity for him. This identity has absolutely nothing to do with Chu Mo!

He can even use this battle to completely rid himself of the influence of the name Chu Mo, becoming an outwardly aggressive and unparalleled cultivator, while inwardly...remaining the true boss with absolute influence and control over the Elite Alliance!
