Heaven Slaying Blade

Upon seeing this, Chu Mo almost burst out laughing, his mouth twitching violently for a while. In the end, he could only exclaim that his ancestor was simply an old child!

He regarded life and death with such nonchalance, still able to describe it all in a teasing tone. This mindset truly demanded admiration.

At the end, a faint shadow suddenly appeared in Chu Mo's spiritual sea.

Yes, it was a very faint shadow, yet Chu Mo could instantly feel it!

"This ancient history is meant for you to see."

The shadow spoke directly, almost scaring Chu Mo out of his wits.

"How many generations down are you from me? Ten thousand? A hundred thousand? Or maybe millions? Forget it, I won't bother calculating, it's too bothersome."

"…" Chu Mo was dumbfounded, unable to utter a word.

"Don't think everyone can see this ancient history, you're mistaken. Only you can see it! Although I don't know you or who you are, you must be the most outstanding one among my descendants!" The shadow's voice didn't sound old, it even seemed somewhat young.

"Don't try to talk to me. By the time you see me, I've already been dead for who knows how many years. So just listen to what I have to say," the shadow said.

Within Chu Mo's heart, waves of emotion surged. He hadn't expected that Spiritual Master Lingtong couldn't see this ancient history! But why did Spiritual Master Lingtong give it to him?

At this time, the shadow said: "Within this jade slip, the diagram of the Heavenly Array can be seen by others. This is my unfinished wish, hoping that one day someone might help me complete it. The materials needed for the Heavenly Array can also be seen by others. However, these materials aren't complete, and many cannot be found in this world anymore. Even if you turn the entire Tunnel upside down, you won't find them. But I didn't say. After all, I need to leave some hope for future generations, right?"

Chu Mo was speechless; he suddenly realized that this fellow, likely his ancestor, was quite unreliable!

"But in fact, those materials can be obtained," the shadow's voice turned serious: "It's just that they are all on the observers. That's awkward; we can't beat those bastards. Of course, if the seniors Wuji and Buddha are willing to help, maybe there's a chance of success. But those two are too righteous—they probably won't lend a hand."

Sighing, the shadow continued: "The Investiture of the Gods I fussed over originally aimed to obscure Tianji, trying to find another way out of the Tunnel world. But it ultimately proved unviable, trapping endless beings. I have no way of saying sorry to them. This task is yours now. If one day you see me, remember that through these methods, you can reverse solve the Investiture of the Gods..."

The shadow then relayed a series of methods to Chu Mo for solving the Investiture of the Gods and destroying the Edict of the Investiture of the Gods.

Although Chu Mo had already developed a method to sever divinity, upon hearing those methods from the shadow, he was deeply moved. In an instant, he comprehended many previously incomprehensible truths.

Unknowingly, Chu Mo's cultivation rose slightly.

This was indeed a kind of unexpected gain.

The shadow finally told Chu Mo that regardless of who obtained this jade slip, it would ultimately return to the descendants of the Chu royal family. Moreover, he had foreseen that after countless ages following his death, the Chu royal family would face a great calamity. But he didn't concern himself too much with it.

"The reincarnation of this world is unclear. Even the Supreme cultivators who can manipulate ten thousand ages can only make use but cannot explain. I have always believed that the energies of this world are eternal. They can never be destroyed. So, what is called destruction, what is called death, is merely the beginning of a new birth. Therefore, my descendants, do not feel sorrowful for me. It's easy for the observers to kill me. But for them to destroy my soul, I think, isn't that easy, right? Perhaps this thing will return to my hands many years down the river of time. Only, by then, will I still remember all this?"

At this point, the shadow faded and disappeared from Chu Mo's spiritual sea.

Chu Mo stood there, stunned, unable to make any sound for a long time. His heart was deeply shaken.

There was still much content, and he silently remembered it in his heart.

Fate.

All of this gave Chu Mo a strong sense of fate.

All things in the world have their numbers and fate. Any cultivator faces fate, going through a process of believing, doubting, believing again, doubting again... ultimately arriving at belief.

Without experiencing this process, one would not truly understand the meaning of the word fate.

Chu Mo carefully put away this jade slip; it was exceedingly precious to him.

The Heavenly Array laid out by Spiritual Master Lingtong spanned ten thousand ages, but he failed because of fate. It may not be possible for him, but that doesn't mean Chu Mo will fail!

After having slain so many Supreme ancestors, Chu Mo's resource accumulation was already an incredibly astounding figure!

The storage world of any Supreme ancestor holds a wealth that is deeply shocking. So far, Chu Mo has slain nine Supreme realm ancient ancestors. As for those in the ancestral realm, they are countless.

The resources he possesses now exceed those of any ancient clan.

In the grand world of the Celestial Mirror of the Heavens, multiple spaces were specifically opened by him to store these resources.

Chu Mo studied the array diagram of the Heavenly Array and discovered that constructing this formation was truly a very difficult task. With the resources he currently had, he couldn't even build one-tenth of the Heavenly Array.

However, Chu Mo wasn't anxious or discouraged. In matters like these, even a layout planned for ten thousand ages would not seem long. How many years has it been for himself? There's still plenty of time. Besides, aren't there still many ancient clans?

Along the way, Chu Mo strolled leisurely, directly entering the territory of the Ancient God Family.

He thought of Gu Bingbing, feeling somewhat wistful. He wondered how she would think if he came to kill the Supreme Ancient Ancestor of the Ancient God Family. Would she break ties with him because of it? Probably not.

Even though she was of the direct lineage, children of such ancient clans, due to the family being so vast, usually maintain such familial bonds within a relatively small scope.

The time difference was too long, there wasn't much familial affection to speak of.

Just like in that jade slip, the ancestor of the Chu Clan royalty didn't put on airs with his descendant Chu Mo. Because there was no need for it at all.

Especially with the mysterious rule of "reincarnation" present, who knows who someone was in their past life? This life they might be descendants, and the past life, for all you know, might have been the ancestor.

Chu Mo quickly dismissed these thoughts and began to release his divine sense, gradually covering the entire land of the Ancient God Family. He wanted to make it very clear to the Supreme Ancient Ancestors within the territory of the Ancient God Family, that he was here!

As soon as Chu Mo's divine sense spread out, countless arrays lit up across the territory of the Ancient God Family!

Yes, countless!

Without needing to count carefully, Chu Mo discerned that approximately tens of millions of arrays were lit simultaneously!

He couldn't help but chuckle; it seems that the Ancient God Family had indeed put considerable effort into welcoming him. Didn't they know he was the ancestor of playing with arrays?

Though that was in a past life, what difference does it make? After all, he had already awakened the memories of his previous life.

Moving effortlessly within these nearly infinite arrays, Chu Mo chose not to destroy any cities this time. He did not kill any creatures of the Ancient God Family either.

Instead, he calmly said, "Those of the Supreme Realm, come forth. It's time for you to pay your debts. Gu Bingbing and I have a causality, and for her sake, I won't trouble the other members of your Ancient God Family. But for murder, you must pay with life; for debts, you must repay. This is a universally accepted truth. The few Supreme Ancient Ancestors, not only did you kill, but you owe debt. Therefore, you must die."

Chu Mo strolled through these arrays without any array being able to stop him. In fact, the arrays didn't even react at all to Chu Mo passing through!

The children of the Ancient God Family stood speechless in the face of this scenario, and deep within, they were also filled with profound shock. After hearing Chu Mo's words, nearly everyone fell silent.

They finally understood why the six Supreme Ancient Ancestors recently demanded that one-third of the wealth be allocated under Gu Bingbing's name. It turns out... such a huge causality was hidden here?

At this moment, they didn't know whether to be grateful for Chu Mo's mercy in not killing or to hate him for coming to collect the debt.

In comparison, they were indeed far more fortunate than the Ancient Dongfang Clan or the Ancient Zhao Clan. At least, they didn't have to leave their homeland, living far away from the home they've known for countless years.

The territory of the Ancient God Family fell into silence.

At this time, an old voice came through, "Murder for a life, debt repayment, well said. Since it's causality, let's put an end to it today."

Then, six ancient figures flew out directly from six different directions.

However, the first thing these six did was not to launch an attack on Chu Mo but flew straight to the pinnacle of the high heavens, the Nine Heavens. Then, simultaneously, they fiercely struck at that immeasurably thick barrier at the Tunnel's pinnacle...

What kind of damage would a joint strike from six supreme ancient ancestors cause? No one knew before. No one has ever seen it firsthand. But at this moment, Chu Mo finally felt it.

It was a force that made every living being in the world tremble! This force could definitely shake the entire Tunnel world!

Watching that unimaginably thick barrier being hit and creating an unfathomably deep tunnel, then the entire firmament collapsing extensively under the aftermath of that strike.

Having just learned something from that jade slip, Chu Mo was directly shocked, almost instantly guessing what the six ancient ancestors of the Ancient God Family wanted to do!

They want to disturb the Observers!
