Heaven Slaying Blade

Chapter 1718 Picking Stars and Catching Moon



Luo Feihong's response not only failed to satisfy the six ancient ancestors of the Luoshui Family but also made them explode on the spot!

"Outrageous! This unfilial wretch! Is he still a descendant of the Luoshui Family?"

"To think we have such disloyal and unfilial descendants... Oh heavens, we should have slapped him to death right from the start!"

"To have us bow and confess, accept punishment? Has he gone mad?"

"King of the Tunnel? Hahaha, that's the funniest joke I've ever heard!"

"No, it's not funny at all." One of the ancient ancestors of the Luoshui Family said calmly, sitting cross-legged without expression, "Chu Mo is indeed now the King of the Tunnel."

The six others fell silent instantly, looking expressionlessly at the speaking ancestor.

"What, you don't believe? " The ancestor sighed lightly and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it; in the end, we should be able to reunite with those old friends soon."

He was pessimistic, and the other five immediately understood what he meant. But they found it hard to accept such an outcome in their hearts.

If they had really wanted to bow and confess to Chu Mo, they should have done it back then. There was no need to imprison themselves with an array; it would have been better to confess and accept punishment decisively... Maybe Chu Mo would have spared them for Luo Feihong's sake at that time.

To bow and confess now... what's the point? They had already imprisoned themselves here. Would Chu Mo, who had stepped into the Supreme Realm, easily let them go?

All six Supreme ancient ancestors of the Luoshui Family looked with an expression of grief and indignation, unable to let go.

Chu Clan Royal Family.

Here it still looked like a pitiful isolated island, floating in the center of an endless abyss.

The giant array continued to operate. No one could enter here.

After Chu Mo returned, he deactivated the array here immediately.

In an instant, all the living beings here felt it. Including those Supreme ancient ancestors hanging from the flagpoles. They each opened their eyes.

They had no idea what was happening outside but could roughly guess.

The seven Supreme ancient ancestors who crazily attacked the array here stopped abruptly a while ago, and then... after a long time, Chu Mo returned.

What had specifically happened was not hard to guess.

The most senior Dongfang Yunluo sighed and said, "This child... has truly become a great force. Without the help of those two existences, he managed to escape the pursuit of seven Supreme ancient ancestors..."

"Escape?" Dongfang Hengtai said, "I think it's not escaping but slaughtering!"

Their primordial spirits were now too weak, only in the ancestral realm. Separated by the protective array of the Chu Clan Royal Family, they had no idea what had happened outside. Otherwise, they would have sensed that Chu Mo had stepped into the Supreme Realm.

However, whether they knew or not was not important to Chu Mo at all, because he was almost about to forget them.

He took Chuchu, Luo Feihong, and Gu Bingbing back to the great city.

It was now the 150th year of the Heavenly Curtain Calendar.

This battle, along with the delays on the road, let time slip away unconsciously.

Upon seeing Chu Mo, Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi were very emotional. Their reaction was not calmer than Chuchu, who had witnessed Chu Mo's crisis firsthand.

The two women rushed into Chu Mo's arms, holding him tightly.

They had never worried about Chu Mo like this before. After all, at that time, Chu Mo faced seven Supreme ancient ancestors!

Along with the tremors of the entire Tunnel world later, even though they were incredibly far away, they could still feel the shock.

Even the monkey and the Sky Patriarch and others were shocked out of their seclusion. They came to see Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi, inquiring about what had happened. Although they didn't know Chu Mo had left the Chu Clan Royal Family, they could feel that this matter seemed related to Chu Mo.

Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi suppressed the issue, just like Chu Mo, not wanting those around them to worry about these matters.

Now that Chu Mo had returned, the heavy stones in the hearts of the two women finally settled down.

Later, they learned the details from Chuchu and Gu Bingbing and were frightened, losing the color of their faces.

Even seeing Chu Mo standing unharmed before them, the fear in their hearts didn't dissipate for long.

A Supreme ancient ancestor's primordial spirit self-exploding, wanting to perish together with Chu Mo. Just thinking about it was despairing!

That night, in the room, Chu Mo was heavily "exploited" by the two women.

This fear and pressure could only be completely relieved through utter release.

Afterward, the two women both leaned against Chu Mo's chest. It was their first time... being by Chu Mo's side like this together. Yet, neither of them felt shy or uncomfortable; they only felt lucky.

Lucky to still be able to embrace this man, to lean against his chest, to listen to him speak.

If only...

That scene, neither woman dared to imagine.

"Brother, is it time for our children to be born?" Qi Xiaoyu's arms, as white and tender as lotus roots, rested on Chu Mo's chest. Her head full of dark hair cascaded like a waterfall onto Chu Mo's chest. Her pure, jet-black eyes gazed into Chu Mo's, and she spoke softly.

"Yes, their siblings have been sealed for so many years. Now, there shouldn't be as many crises. Is it time for them to come out?" Yiyi also said gently. After the rain, she too was astonishingly beautiful, radiating boundless brilliance.

Over the years, the two women had nurtured a demeanor that completely transcended the past. Even when faced with the noble ladies and princesses from the largest families within the Tunnel world, their aura was in no way inferior. In fact, with Chu Mo's support, their presence was even more formidable.

Chu Mo nodded and said, "Alright, tomorrow, I'll let them out. However, the world is now too dark. Tomorrow, I will pick a star and place it above the Chu Clan's sky."

"Can you do that? That's wonderful. It's been too long without sunlight here. It's uncomfortable," Qi Xiaoyu said with a soft smile, beaming with happiness.

Compared to Yiyi, Qi Xiaoyu's background was only slightly higher than Chu Mo's back then. Born in the Spirit Realm, the difference from the Mortal Realm was apparent, but in hindsight, it wasn't too significant.

Some mortal habits were still quite evident in Chu Mo and Qi Xiaoyu.

Chu Mo said, "Additionally, I'm planning to return to the Luotian Universe once. I intend to bring all our relatives here."

"Hmm?"

"Ah?"

The two women exclaimed almost simultaneously, then leaned on him from both sides, looking up at him.

Two exquisitely beautiful faces, two pairs of eyes like Qiushui gazing at him, Chu Mo smiled and extended his arms to embrace them: "We'll talk about this... tomorrow!"

In the following days, a large number of elite alliance core members began heading towards the Chu Clan's territory.

Upon arrival, they unexpectedly discovered that there was actually a sun hanging over the Chu Clan's sky!

The light illuminated the vast land of the Chu Clan for billions of miles!

This sun would emerge from the dark sky at dawn, and at night, it would return to the darkness!

Its operation completely adhered to the Tunnel's time.

This left everyone who saw this sun utterly speechless in astonishment.

Picking stars and catching moons, such feats considered impossible in the eyes of mortals, were not particularly difficult for top cultivators. But the issue was, the Tunnel world was now shrouded by a dark sky. All stars were isolated outside this darkness!

Finding a star was no ordinary task. One had to traverse the dark sky and reach the zenith of the Tunnel world's firmament.

That place is too high!

Cultivators below the ancestral realm could not possibly fly to such heights.

Even ancestral realm cultivators now found it nearly impossible to pass through the dark sky. It was a defense that almost isolated everything!

Supreme cultivators could indeed traverse the dark sky and pick stars and catch moons. But making them emerge from the dark sky at dawn and vanish into it at night... that was almost impossible!

In the entire Tunnel world, those capable of such a feat could likely be counted on one hand!

King of the Tunnel!

At some point, this title quietly replaced Chu Mo's former title of Great Demon King and became the name by which all beings in the Tunnel world referred to him.

News of the sun above the Chu Clan quickly spread.

The families led by ancient ancestors couldn't sit still!

Admittedly, in the entire Tunnel world, there were no ordinary people or mortals. Everyone's eyes weren't obscured by darkness, and the coldness following the absence of the sun had no effect. But the issue was, having been accustomed to living under the sunlight, suddenly plunging into absolute darkness made anyone feel oppressed.

Humans are innately beings who long for Shining.

Therefore, the families with ancient ancestors implored their ancestors to also fetch a sun to place over their territories.

Faced with such requests, even the ancient ancestors felt somewhat helpless, admitting they didn't possess the abilities of the King of the Tunnel—even they acknowledged Chu Mo's title.

They informed those requesting that they could pick stars and catch moons, but they couldn't make them follow the Tunnel's schedule of appearance and disappearance.

Having lived in darkness for too long, everyone yearned for light. Even though those ancient ancestors admitted they couldn't control the sun's appearance and disappearance, people still didn't care.

Eventually, it even evolved to the point where families without ancient ancestors also started allying with neighboring families, investing vast sums… to beg those ancient ancestors to fetch a sun for them.

After all, if the sun couldn't cover all areas, then when seeking darkness, they'd retreat into the cold, dark regions.

Human creativity has always been strong this way.

However, just as the entire Tunnel was becoming lively due to the sun, Chu Mo quietly left the Tunnel world.

Set off on the journey home.
