Heaven Slaying Blade

"Are we easy to provoke?" The young man shouted angrily, "What do they think they are? Why are they rampaging in our Ancient Dongfang Clan's territory?"

The middle-aged man awkwardly said, "Well... actually it doesn't really count as rampaging. In the entire Cultivation Realm, passing through like this is quite normal."

The other people from the Ancient Dongfang Clan all dared not interrupt because the recent strike had directly shattered their confidence to confront that group. They didn't even see how their dharma instruments were broken!

The young man gritted his teeth and said, "Follow them, I want to see what backing they have and where they intend to go! How dare they be so arrogant!"

The middle-aged man felt somewhat helpless but eventually nodded because he was also curious about that group's origins. If they were to make any moves against the Ancient Dongfang Clan, they would be able to understand it first.

Therefore, among the Ancient Dongfang Clan, a few immediately split off and followed Chu Mo and his group from afar. But this time, they dared not openly step forward to block them.

"There are two people from afar following us. Should we drive them away?" Qianqiu looked at Chu Mo and asked.

Qianqiu appeared very handsome, looking somewhat aloof, and was usually not very talkative. In the past, in his own part of the Luotian universe, he was a true overlord. Despite appearing calm, he was certainly not someone to be trifled with.

"Let them follow," Chu Mo shook his head and said, "We need to rebuild on the ruins; sooner or later, we'll have to deal with them."

This was the first time Chu Mo revealed his thoughts in front of everyone.

The monkey was slightly startled and looked at Chu Mo, "You want to rebuild on the ruins of the Chu Clan royal family?"

Everyone else also looked at Chu Mo in surprise. Having been in the Tunnel for years, they were no longer in a state of ignorance as when they first arrived. Though they weren't too familiar with the Chu Clan royal family, they'd heard about it here and there.

Although Chu Mo also bore the surname Chu, many of these people, except for a few, never thought Chu Mo had any relation with the Chu Clan royal family.

Chu Mo glanced at the crowd and nodded, "That place once was my home."

While the memory of his past life hadn't awakened, the closer Chu Mo got to the Chu Clan royal family, the heavier he felt in his heart. That slight wave from deep within his soul carried an endless sorrow.

It was a very mysterious feeling. Ordinary people often have it; for instance, when visiting an unfamiliar place, they might suddenly feel a sense of familiarity, stirred deeply within.

For cultivators, this feeling is clearer, and they can often deduce what is causing it.

Everyone couldn't help but gasp, looking at Chu Mo in amazement, unable to speak for a long time.

"You're not scared, are you?" Chu Mo casually joked.

Everyone laughed at this point.

Meng Na said, "In my past, I was a general in Gray Land!"

In other words, what haven't I seen? Afraid? Me?

Luo Lan, Qianqiu, Qing Gu, Xuanxuan, and the Sky Patriarch didn't know much about Meng Na's past. Though he'd occasionally mentioned it, they didn't know the specifics, so they were a bit surprised.

To their surprise, Meng Na wasn't joking; he was indeed a Gray Land being.

The monkey said, "The word 'fear' has never been associated with me, the monkey."

Great Saint Kun Fish said, "Not afraid."

Great Saint Roc chuckled, "Afraid of what?"

Cat Great Saint smiled lightly, "I've already died once."

Fox Heaven Great Saint said, "I don't like a thrilling life, but I never shy away from challenges."

Great Saint Sea Dragon expressionlessly said, "Scared of nothing."

Bull Demon Great Saint murmured, "Just anxious with nothing to do."

Sky Patriarch looked at Luo Lan, Qianqiu, Qing Gu, and Xuanxuan, smiling, "The five of us were once rulers of our respective universes, dominating endless territories. The battles we've fought countless times are nothing scary."

Luo Lan smiled gently, "Good."

Qianqiu nodded.

Qing Gu said, "Really not afraid."

Xuanxuan, with his large chubby face, smiled pleasantly and said, "Young master is quite the joker..."

Alright, no one is afraid; scared of nothing?

If truly scared, they wouldn't have agreed to being stripped of their divine status, and if they were scared, they wouldn't have left Gu Bingbing!

After all, Gu Bingbing, being the legitimate daughter of the Ancient God Family, held an extremely high status and is now the deputy leader of the elite alliance. It seems safer and more secure to be with her than to be with Chu Mo.

But everyone still came without hesitation.

They didn't even ask Chu Mo what he intended to do!

So, afraid of what?

Afraid of death?

No one was afraid.

"Let's go." Chu Mo smiled as well.

The ancestral land of the Chu Clan royal family, endless lands, all in ruins.

A million years have passed, enough for numerous reincarnations through the cycles of Heaven and Earth. This place long ceased to show any signs of its former glory.

These endless lands might have been dotted with magnificent palaces and incredible prosperity a million years ago.

But now, not even ruins are visible, only occasionally glimpsing a corner of the destroyed architecture amid towering ancient trees—buildings still protected by damaged arrays.

Silently narrating the past glory.

As everyone arrived here, their mood inexplicably became somewhat heavy.

That profound sense of historical grandeur mixed with a hint of melancholy welled up within.

Even though it had nothing to do with them personally, they still were affected by this aura.

Chu Mo was deeply saddened.

Since coming here, walking on this land, he hadn't spoken for days.

The two Ancient Dongfang Clan cultivators following them from afar also stopped, not daring to step into this "unfortunate land."

Though Chu Mo's past life memories hadn't awakened, walking on this ancient ground, his heart was persistently filled with sorrow. That faint warmth and familiarity kept impacting his heart.

This place was once his homeland; it was his paradise.

Here, millions of years ago, held so much of his joys, angers, sorrows, and pleasures.

Finally, their group delved into the Chu Clan royal ruins and arrived at a dilapidated palace.

A tear fell from the corner of Chu Mo's eye.

Even Chu Mo himself hadn't expected to shed tears seeing this ruined palace.

The crystal-clear tears fell on the weathered earth, shattering silently and merging into the ground.

Bark!

An old dog's bark suddenly echoed from behind the ruined palace.

Then, a dirt-yellow shadow shot out like a ray of light, seemingly preparing to attack.

Everyone was slightly startled and scared. Just as they were about to counterattack, the dirt-yellow shadow suddenly landed on the ground, standing in front of Chu Mo.

It was an old dog.

It was extremely old!

The fur all over its body was about to fall off, and not a single tooth remained in its mouth, making it look somewhat comical.

Yet this old dog emanated a mighty wave of power.

This was an enlightened old dog that had achieved cultivation success!

The toothless, hairless old dog stood before Chu Mo, staring blankly at him. Then, tears began to trickle from its already clouded eyes.

Instantly, tears fell like rain!

Bark!

This bark was entirely different from the threatening bark just now.

This sound seemed as if it had seen a family member, filled with joy.

For reasons unknown, a boundless sorrow filled the hearts of all present.

Boom!

A surge seemingly from the depths of the soul instantly rose in Chu Mo's heart.

Chu Mo slowly crouched down, trembling slightly, reaching out a hand toward the dirt-yellow hairless, toothless old dog.

"Huang, is that you?"

Bark bark!

The tears in the old dog's eyes increased, and it seemed a bit embarrassed as it shyly approached Chu Mo.

Finally, it rested its head on Chu Mo's palm.

Its tears instantly soaked Chu Mo's hand.

The hearts of the group behind felt as if they were melting, deeply moved.

Luo Lan and Ouyang Fei, these two giant-level women of the ancestral realm, who had ruled over a universe, couldn't hold back and started crying directly at this moment.

The home was in ruins, yet an old dog remained. For millions of years, it had guarded this place without leaving.

Even through reincarnations, it could still instantly recognize its master.

This affection, this loyalty, was enough to move heavens and all living things.

The monkeys and these non-human beings couldn't help but turn their faces away, their eyes slightly red. The monkey instantly thought of the days beside the Supreme in the past, and the six Great Saints recalled their youthful years.

After years have passed, who can still remember their original home?

What has it become, who could know? Is it only in dreams at midnight that it appears?

A group of cultivators at the highest realm, at the ruins of the Chu Clan royal palace, were moved by an old dog.

Even Sky Patriarch, a true giant who never bowed, had red-rimmed eyes at this moment.

"Cough cough..."

Behind the ruined palace, suddenly came an old cough, then an ancient-sounding voice, with a hint of disbelief, came from over there.

"Young master, is it you... have you come home?"

Chu Mo's soul, at this moment, was completely occupied by an unexpected surge of memories.

Before his eyes, it was as if a scene from ten thousand ages ago appeared!

The scene was chaotic and very illusory, as if it could disappear at any moment.

Yet in an instant, Chu Mo caught it all, remembered it all!

At this time, from behind the ruined palace, slowly walked out an old man in gray clothes, as skeletal as a skeleton.

The old man was so ancient, looking like he might perish at any moment. His eyes seemed completely blind, walking very slowly, but his attire was very neat, his hair meticulously combed and pinned with a hairpin.

Though ancient to the extreme, he carried an unparalleled elegance never before seen by those present!

The old man's realm was unrecognizable. Regardless of the realm once held, after millions of years, how much could remain?

In the chaotic memories that awoke in Chu Mo, there was a slight impression of this old man.

This was an old servant of the Chu Clan royal family!

However, the old servant retained in Chu Mo's impression wasn't like this...
