Heaven Slaying Blade

The old servant forcefully opened his eyes, which seemed unable to see anything anymore, and looked towards Chu Mo. Then, on his elegant and composed yet incredibly aged face, an expression of excitement instantly appeared: "Young Master! Young Master! It's truly you, it's really you, you've returned, you've finally come back."

The old servant tremblingly walked towards Chu Mo, then slowly knelt on the ground, respectfully kowtowing. Only then did he use his shriveled hands, resembling eagle claws, to cover his face, crying silently. Finally, he could not hold back and burst into tears.

Chu Mo patted the head of the old yellow dog and then stood up, approaching the old servant, helping him up and giving him a hug.

"Yes, old man, I've returned!"

After saying this, Chu Mo's tears flowed straight down.

His memories of the past life, at this moment, finally fully awakened.

Once, he was the person people referred to as the "peerless Young Master Chu," who called this old servant just so.

The old servant held tightly onto Chu Mo. He had once embraced his young master, once enlightened him, accompanied him in listening to teachings. Even when the young master was tricking young girls, he had plotted strategies...

He was the young master's old man, the old servant of the Chu Clan royal family!

The royal family collapsed, everyone was dead. Only he and Huang, the dog, survived miraculously. Their survival was not due to luck. In reality, the Chu Clan royal family, millions of years ago, had no lucky survivors!

All living beings were wiped out in one night!

He lived because he and Huang were not even in the Chu Clan royal family at that time. They were sent by the young master to a distant place to find a rare ore.

They escaped that catastrophe!

When they heard the news, it was already long after. By then, the peerless Young Master Chu had vanished, and the Chu Clan royal family was already destroyed. Years later, the old servant dared to return here with Huang.

Upon returning, seeing the ruins of the Chu Clan royal family, one person and one dog cried profoundly. Then, they decided to stay here, never leaving again.

Because they believed that someday, the young master would return! He would surely come back here, to find them!

This was not blind superstition, but because he knew the young master's secret. He knew the young master would certainly return!

Only he didn't expect that this wait would last a million years!

Huang also transformed from a strong big dog to this state today—no fur, no teeth, almost no strength. And he too transformed from the elegant noble elder of the past into this state, decrepit and barely surviving.

But he finally waited! Huang also waited! They waited for their young master's return!

At this time, with a casual wave of his hand, Chu Mo caused Qi Xiaoyu, Shui Yiyi, the blue giant eagle, and those hundred plus non-human beings to instantly appear on this land.

Although they already knew of their existence before, Zi Dao, Ouyang Fei, the monkey, and others were still startled.

Even though Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi were always in the world of the Azure God's Mirror, they were aware of everything outside. Because Chu Mo always left them a window.

Therefore, upon coming out, Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi were both tearful.

They were already so moved they couldn't speak, so even upon seeing the familiar monkey and the six Great Saints, or encountering the long-curious "Zi Dao" and "Ouyang Fei," they did not greet them immediately, only showing red eyes and shedding tears.

This was the fundamental reason why Chu Mo abandoned the elite alliance, gave up collaborating with Spiritual Master Lingtong, and wholeheartedly returned here!

Since collecting enough power for beheading path and with one slash opening the small world at that instant, a voice appeared in Chu Mo's heart.

Only two words — homecoming!

Moreover, Chu Mo had an incredibly strong intuition that as long as he returned to the ruins of the Chu Clan royal family, no matter what he did, he would receive the ancestors' protection.

This sounded a bit mystical, considering the Chu Clan royal family had been annihilated for a million years. But in cultivation, what is most believed is…indeed this kind of intuition! If they could not understand this destined voice, they would not even qualify to step into the Cultivation Realm.

The old dog Huang, without fur and teeth, always stayed by Chu Mo's side, unwilling to leave for even a step, completely ignoring everyone else. Only towards Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi did Huang seem a bit puzzled, circling them twice, weakly wagging its tail, before returning to Chu Mo's side.

It was unclear whether it recognized the identities of these two from their past lives or acknowledged them as the mistresses in this life.

The old servant did, however, glance more towards Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi, but without saying anything. He directly settled everyone in.

Do not be fooled by his singular presence or his decrepit state; his arrangements were still orderly and unhurried, and the elegance of his demeanor involuntarily invoked a sense of admiration.

The royal family's ruins were vast, with this being the central area. Almost all the buildings were guarded by powerful arrays. Though broken in years past, the power of those arrays remains. Therefore, there are still many palaces available for habitation.

Finally, after arranging everything, the old servant called Chu Mo alone to a dilapidated palace.

Huang lay beside Chu Mo's feet, while the old servant sat opposite Chu Mo.

Originally, he refused to sit down no matter what, saying there was no reason for a servant to sit on equal terms with a young master. But it was only after Chu Mo glared at him and said that the Chu royal family was no more, and that his young master was the soul after reincarnation, that he reluctantly sat down, though he barely perched on the edge.

Even though the palace was in ruins, the lights on the walls were still lit. Although not as bright as before, the hall was somewhat dim, yet not gloomy.

Sitting here, Chu Mo felt an inexplicable peace of mind.

This was a feeling he had never experienced in all these past years.

The old servant sat very upright, looked at Chu Mo, and slowly said, "In the millions of years, there have been many people from the ancient clans who came here to explore. However, they couldn't succeed. There is a mystical power in the royal ruins here, and whenever people of any realm enter, even beings at the Supreme realm, they quickly become tainted by that power, then... their realm starts to fall."

"Is there such a thing?" Chu Mo was a bit surprised. He was also curious as to why he and those around him were unaffected.

"Young Master is the legitimate offspring of the royal family, the true eldest son! The forefathers would naturally recognize Young Master's soul. Those around Young Master are under your protection, so naturally, they are safe. Others, however, are not so fortunate." The old servant showed a mocking smile: "They think that the Chu royal family has been destroyed and no longer exists in the world. But how could they understand the true principle of reincarnation in this world? The Heavenly Dao follows reincarnation, and karma eventually comes to fruition. The karma of the Chu royal family has been resolved. However, those who destroyed the Chu royal family, their karma... still remains."

Saying this, the old servant took out a thick journal and handed it to Chu Mo: "This contains all the karma written by this old servant over the endless years. Young Master can take a look and may come to understand many unresolved matters."

Huang lay quietly there, resting his head on Chu Mo's feet, eyes slightly closed, without making a sound. He seemed to enjoy immensely the feeling of being by his master's side.

Chu Mo took the journal, not flipping through it immediately, but looking at the old servant: "Uncle, the state of you and Huang... doesn't seem very good, I have many elixirs here."

The old servant waved his hand with a smile: "No need, Huang and I have been lingering on for endless years. Even without any great medicine, we won't die anytime soon. We still want to see Young Master rise again, see the Chu royal family reappear in the world, see each and every one of those old enemies fall. Until then, we can't bear to leave."

Huang then opened his eyes, blinked his old eyes, raised his head slightly, and barked once at Chu Mo, showing agreement.

Chu Mo laughed, took out a large pile of top-grade elixirs from himself, and said: "Take them first, you are my family, I don't want to see you like this, it pains me."

The old servant, seeing these elixirs, didn't show much surprise or excitement. As the old servant of the royal family, he had seen much better cultivation materials. But he was still delighted and accepted these things.

Huang sniffed, then grinned at Chu Mo, revealing a smile and directly grabbed a big elixir, wagging his tail cheerfully.

"It has been so long since he's been this happy." The old servant looked at Huang's back and said with some emotion: "Me too. In fact, we can find these elixirs ourselves and have the ability to obtain them. But without seeing Young Master, doing these things is meaningless."

Chu Mo nodded vigorously: "I am back now! From now on, you will not be lonely anymore."

......

During this period, Chu Chu felt somewhat down.

She even appeared distracted during several alliance meetings.

She was well aware of why she was feeling low; she missed her brother and home.

The moment Chu Mo's memories awakened, hers did too. Countless images appeared in her mind, seemingly unfamiliar, yet deeply familiar to her.

The images were fragmented, like ethereal light and shadows, but the impact on her was considerable.

She immediately understood that her brother must have returned home!

She too longed for home.

More than ever before!

Especially after her memories awakened, that yearning for home left her heart restless.

Only now does she truly and thoroughly understand why her brother was determined to leave.

She sat alone in her room, with a faint smile on her face: "Brother, even if we siblings are mentally connected, you might not know what I'm thinking. In our previous life, you were my brother, and I grew up under your protection. In this life, you are so much younger than me, yet you still insist on being my brother. Yes, you are my brother, always have been! But in this life, your sister no longer wants to be completely unaccomplished, unable to do anything. Your sister also wants to make her mark, to help you! We must find all that we lost. Yes, I am sure I can do it! Because in this life, my ambition is the promise I made in my past life."

---------

Home is the most important place for anyone, it's the root, the source. Through endless reincarnations, Chu Mo has returned home.

The end of the month is here, in order to welcome Chu Mo back home, why not cast some monthly tickets and recommendation tickets as a gesture?
