Heaven Slaying Blade

Gu Bingbing has been laying arrangements in Canggu City for so many years, and it's not without any gains!

Although in Chu Mo's view, the news that the divine spirits on the Investiture of the Gods list have been heavily stripped of their divine ranks cannot be suppressed. But under Gu Bingbing's manipulation, it has been forcefully held down!

It's hard to say how long it can be suppressed, but at least, for now, it hasn't been exposed.

It can only be said that those ancient clans are too large, and although there are countless smart people, they are also too confident!

After so many years have passed, not many people remember the name Chu Mo anymore. The unparalleled Young Master Chu... has already turned into dust in the annals of history.

Even if the two generations of Shalan leaders who fled tell everyone, few would believe them.

One could say that the Elite Alliance's luck is indeed very good.

Because shortly after this battle, the ancient spirits of the Gray Land... invaded... on a massive scale once more!

This time, almost instantly, all divine spirits, including those from all ancient clans, shifted their focus to the spirits of the Gray Land.

If the Elite Alliance's eradication of the Shalan Bandits was a huge victory, then driving the spirits of the Gray Land back once again... is a great victory!

The magnitude of the two sides is completely different.

Compared to the invasion of the spirits of the Gray Land, all other matters are really trivial.

Instantly returning to the day the war ended.

Chu Mo directly transmitted a message to Spiritual Master Lingtong: "Shouldn't we have a good talk now?"

"Alright." Spiritual Master Lingtong directly gave a positive reply.

Then, both of them directly left there, flew far away from Canggu City, and only stopped at a desolate and secluded place billions of miles away.

Spiritual Master Lingtong looked at Chu Mo: "How did you come out?"

"I slashed that small world with a blade and just walked out." Chu Mo said calmly.

"Just like that?"

"Just like that."

"Impossible!" Spiritual Master Lingtong shook his head, his eyes revealing a deep light as he looked at Chu Mo: "In that small world, I left some divine sense there, you couldn't have come out without alerting my divine sense."

"Are you talking about... it?" Chu Mo raised his hand, and suddenly a phantom appeared in front of Spiritual Master Lingtong.

That phantom directly formed into Spiritual Master Lingtong's likeness, then transformed into a light and entered Spiritual Master Lingtong's mental sea of consciousness.

"You... managed to confine my divine sense? Without me realizing it?" Spiritual Master Lingtong's eyes revealed a dangerous light as he looked at Chu Mo: "How did you do it?"

"You already said I am the unparalleled Young Master Chu." Chu Mo smiled: "Is it so difficult to do this?"

"You nearly ruined all my plans!" Spiritual Master Lingtong glared at Chu Mo. He really didn't expect Chu Mo would just slip out now, and moreover, his combat strength had clearly risen to the Supreme level. He is truly a formidable genius, easily causing immense trouble with a careless move.

"Why must your plans involve me?" Chu Mo calmly looked at Spiritual Master Lingtong: "Moreover, I'm not very clear about your goals, but my goals are quite simple. I want to find the truth behind the demise of the Chu Clan's royal family back then. I want to give all my implicated relatives an explanation."

"So, have you found that truth?" Spiritual Master Lingtong looked at Chu Mo.

Chu Mo nodded: "Found it."

Spiritual Master Lingtong sighed: "Seems I underestimated you a bit, but do you think, with your ability alone, you can fight against your enemies?"

"In this world, without a patriarch, the demise of the Chu Clan's royal family was naturally caused by those ancient clans." Chu Mo looked at Spiritual Master Lingtong: "The Elite Alliance can eradicate the Shalan Bandits and can fight against the spirits of the Gray Land. But they can never truly wage war against all the ancient clans."

"As long as you understand! Do you know what I intend to do?" Spiritual Master Lingtong coldly looked at Chu Mo.

Chu Mo shook his head: "I don't know. Your schemes are too grand; I don't understand them."

"Humph, I want to create that road!" At this point, Spiritual Master Lingtong no longer concealed anything: "Only that road is the real method to leave this world. And to create that road, the resources required are immense. It must be supported by a force like the Elite Alliance. Simultaneously, I also wish to eradicate all the ancient clans. Therefore, there is still an opportunity for us to sit down and seriously discuss cooperation."

"No, I will not cooperate with you." Chu Mo looked at Spiritual Master Lingtong, "I don't trust you."

"Bullshit!" Spiritual Master Lingtong was directly enraged, glaring at Chu Mo, "Have I ever tricked you?"

"Plenty of times." Chu Mo replied candidly, "I don't know how you can so self-righteously say that sentence."

"If I really tricked you, would you have such combat power within just a hundred years? If I guessed correctly, your cultivation now is unifying with the myriad paths and encapsulating all laws. Even your slightest movements carry a Supreme aura. Does that sound like I tricked you?" Spiritual Master Lingtong looked at Chu Mo angrily.

"Without your century-long suppression, perhaps I wouldn't have reached this realm so quickly." Chu Mo nodded, looking at Spiritual Master Lingtong, "But perhaps I could have reached this realm in just fifty years. If you had discussed it with me beforehand, I might not have rejected your proposal. But you didn't; you directly used forceful methods. From that moment on, you made me see the true face of all the powerful ones. So, I will not cooperate with you again. Nor will I have any further interactions with you."

Chu Mo spoke calmly as he looked at Spiritual Master Lingtong, "For Xiaoyu and Yiyi's sake, I won't expose you to the Elite Alliance, and I might even get them to cooperate with you. But I will no longer be involved. In the future, concerning the beings on the Investiture of the Gods, except for a few of my brothers and friends, I won't bother with anyone else."

Spiritual Master Lingtong looked at Chu Mo, "That's not right."

"I don't think so." Chu Mo said.

"Isn't it your wish to slay the divine spirits of all beings on the Investiture of the Gods?" The tone of Spiritual Master Lingtong softened. He knew he could no longer suppress Chu Mo with a wave of his hand now. It was clear to him that the fact Chu Mo dared to follow him here meant that he had absolute confidence that he could leave at any time.

"The real solution to this matter isn't to slay the divine spirits of all beings but to completely annihilate those ancient clans." Chu Mo said, "But I will handle this matter myself."

"An individual's power can never succeed." Spiritual Master Lingtong looked at Chu Mo, and finally gritted his teeth, saying, "Kid, I promise you one thing. From now on, I will never trick or deceive you again, nor set traps for you. I can swear on my primordial spirit..."

Before he could finish, Chu Mo interrupted him, "Senior, you are my elder. Today, I came to you not to settle any scores, nor to use my abilities to threaten you. We have a massive divergence in our starting points on many matters. So let's not do anything together any longer."

Spiritual Master Lingtong was momentarily speechless. Although he had told Chu Mo what he ultimately wanted to do, he could sense that Chu Mo wasn't much interested in any of it.

Chu Mo was too young!

A cultivator not even three hundred years old and already nearing the Supreme realm. He truly had ample time to deal with all sorts of things. When he said he wanted to overthrow those ancient clans, in Spiritual Master Lingtong's view, it was simply wishful thinking, impossible to succeed.

But considering Chu Mo's age, maybe... he really had a chance to succeed?

Especially since Chu Mo had met the Buddha. Legend has it that the Buddha never lied, so perhaps the Buddha had said something to him?

Spiritual Master Lingtong thought in his heart, finally sighed, looked at Chu Mo, somewhat helplessly said, "Then, what exactly are you planning to do, what do you want to achieve? Can you tell me?"

"Of course." Chu Mo looked at Spiritual Master Lingtong, "I want to rebuild the Chu royal clan!"

"This..." Spiritual Master Lingtong stared wide-eyed at Chu Mo, wanting to confirm if Chu Mo was serious. Because this idea seemed even less reliable than having the Elite Alliance battle it out with the major ancient clans!

It's utterly unrealistic to the extreme!

"You think it's unreliable, don't you?" Chu Mo glanced at Spiritual Master Lingtong and then laughed, "In your view, the moment this news spreads, countless ancient clans will immediately send armies to suppress us, extinguishing that little spark that isn't even a flame yet?"

"You knew?" Spiritual Master Lingtong looked at Chu Mo speechlessly.

"They wouldn't dare." Chu Mo said blandly, uttering four words.

"On what basis?" Spiritual Master Lingtong looked at Chu Mo, "Why wouldn't they dare? Give me a reason."

"I won't." Chu Mo said, clasping his hands towards Spiritual Master Lingtong, "If you want to control the Elite Alliance to fulfill your wish, you're welcome to try. Honestly, even if I told Chuchu to cooperate with you, ultimately, you'll find that the Elite Alliance could never be yours. It could be Chuchu's, or Luo Feihong and Gu Bingbing's. But it can never be yours. Because the moment your intention is exposed, then... all ancient clan's Supreme Patriarchs won't let you go."

Spiritual Master Lingtong looked at Chu Mo, speechless, "Why would I let them know?"

"Sooner or later, they all will." Chu Mo said, "In this force, even if your personal prestige becomes higher, surpassing everyone, it won't matter. Its foundation ultimately comes from those ancient clans."

Spiritual Master Lingtong looked at Chu Mo, "Are you... doubting my resolve to deal with those ancient clans?"

"No, no, no, I don't doubt your resolve and your hatred towards those ancient clans at all. If there's a chance to directly destroy those ancient clans, you wouldn't hesitate." Chu Mo looked at Spiritual Master Lingtong and slowly said, "But, compared to your ultimate goal... all grievances and hatred are insignificant. Therefore, in my view, you will never truly erupt into a fierce clash with those ancient clans."

Chu Mo looked at Spiritual Master Lingtong, "So, senior, we walk different paths."
