Heaven Slaying Blade

Spiritual Master Lingtong sighed: "Indeed, it cannot be stopped, and even today, I don't know whether the other side is a being, a will, or something else. Some people call it the Great Ancestor, thinking it is a being beyond the Supreme. But I don't see it that way. Although I don't know what it is, I have a feeling that sooner or later, I will face off against it!"

Chu Mo was silent: "Because I have discovered a method to sever the godhead, if I step into the Supreme realm, or sever the godheads of many cultivators, it will inevitably be discovered by it, right?"

Spiritual Master Lingtong nodded: "Exactly."

"Is there absolutely no other possibility?" Yiyi finally couldn't help but ask.

Qi Xiaoyu's starry eyes looked at Spiritual Master Lingtong, also full of anticipation.

Spiritual Master Lingtong nodded, then shook his head, saying: "In recent years, I've discovered some other clues, through the Gray Land."

"Gray Land?" Chu Mo's spirit was stirred.

"Yes, over there in the Gray Land, there should have been an occurrence of the road to the heavens," Spiritual Master Lingtong said seriously, "It seems that road... is the only path to leave our grand universe. But that road is too ethereal and elusive. It's nowhere to be found."

"I've heard of this road. Beings over at the Gray Land even hope to find the road to the heavens through me," Chu Mo said.

"That's because they don't know what kind of past you have," Spiritual Master Lingtong said blandly, "If they knew, they wouldn't think that way."

Chu Mo smiled wryly: "Not even knowing who the enemy is, this feeling indeed feels uncomfortable."

Spiritual Master Lingtong said: "Through my many years of search and speculation, I've found some patterns. Although I've muddled the Tianji in this life, I've always felt uneasy. Because I think something has happened to it, otherwise, even if I obscured the Tianji, it should still be able to find me."

"Is this the reason why you were eager for me to grow up before?" Chu Mo asked.

"Yes, because I'm worried I won't hold out for long. Besides, I also desperately want to know what it truly is! As long as I can fully sever the godhead, I will definitely have a chance to find it!" Spiritual Master Lingtong said.

"Why haven't you sought help from those who have lived on as Supremes?" Chu Mo looked at Spiritual Master Lingtong and asked.

"Lived on?" Spiritual Master Lingtong showed a helpless smile: "You tell me, who has truly lived on?"

"Those ancient clans' patriarchs, they don't have godheads in their minds..." Chu Mo said, "You can't possibly be unaware of this, can you?"

"They don't have godheads in their minds, but how do you know they have lived on?" Spiritual Master Lingtong looked at Chu Mo: "You're thinking too simplistically! As far as I know, throughout the Tunnel, there are only two beings in the Supreme realm who can truly avoid death and continue living. One is called the Supreme, who once briefly appeared in your Luotian universe, seemingly leaving behind a legacy; the other is named Buddha, who also briefly appeared in that Luotian universe, similarly leaving behind some traditions. Speaking of this, their appearance there seems related to you."

Spiritual Master Lingtong looked at Chu Mo: "Now, those two existences, the Supreme guards the east, responsible for overseeing the incoming purple energy; Buddha guards the west, overseeing the land of bliss. If they face a crisis, the entire Tunnel will collapse, and this universe will be directly annihilated. Therefore, these two cannot face any trouble, and no one dares to let them face trouble. I've tried to find them, but cannot."

Spiritual Master Lingtong said: "Those two are very mysterious, with presumably significant backgrounds. They both possess unimaginable wisdom and have a non-interfering relationship with that supreme existence. As for those other Supreme patriarchs of ancient clans, even if they lack godheads, their lifespans are still only a thousand epochs at most. At the end of their lifespans, their cultivation will still be taken away. So they are merely slightly luckier than me."

"So, in the Tunnel, apart from those two you mentioned, are all beings in the Supreme realm subject to the same fate?" Chu Mo found it truly unbelievable.

"Not only the Supreme, but the ancestral realm as well. If there's a godhead in the mind, it's the same for all!" Spiritual Master Lingtong said, "This is why those ancestral realm cultivators with godheads in their minds progress slower the later they go. After death, their full godhead will leave. The godhead in the soul... is eternally indestructible. It follows reincarnation, returning to the same path. In this respect, the fate of the ancestral realm and Supreme is the same."

Chu Mo thought to himself: If Spiritual Master Lingtong's words are true, doesn't that mean the entire Tunnel is controlled by an existence whose nature is unknown?

Spiritual Master Lingtong looked at Chu Mo: "So, the true enemy isn't those ancient clans, but if you extensively sever the godheads of the beings on the Investiture of the Gods, they too won't let you go! Because that would touch upon their fundamental interests, their current fundamental interests!"

Chu Mo smiled wryly, feeling somewhat powerless: "Then what can I do?"

"Cultivate arduously! And make ample preparations for your reincarnation. Then, when you reach the Supreme realm, strike me a blow immediately." Spiritual Master Lingtong looked at Chu Mo: "And this time, I will help pave the path forward after your reincarnation. Also, freed from the constraints of the godhead, I will rush forward; I want to see what truly manipulates our fate!"

Spiritual Master Lingtong's face showed a hint of resolve. After countless cycles of reincarnation, anyone would likely collapse. To remain composed speaks to Spiritual Master Lingtong's sufficiently strong heart.

"What if we fail?" Chu Mo asked Spiritual Master Lingtong.

"Then we'll just reincarnate together," Spiritual Master Lingtong said casually and glanced at Qi Xiaoyu and Yiyi: "Then, the two girls will watch over our father-in-law."

"You've acknowledged this?"

"Is there any point in not acknowledging it?"

Chu Mo blinked, looking at Spiritual Master Lingtong, who curled his lips.

Qi Xiaoyu and Yiyi instinctively moved closer to Chu Mo, feeling joy, but more so, concern.

"How did it come to this?" Qi Xiaoyu said.

"Suddenly feeling this grand chessboard is really tiring," Yiyi said.

"Better to be an ordinary person, a hundred-year reincarnation, live one life, be happy," Qi Xiaoyu sighed softly.

The room remained silent thereafter.

After a while, Chu Mo laughed: "What's there to fear? Just confront it!"

Spiritual Master Lingtong glanced appreciatively at Chu Mo: "Indeed, escaping has no meaning, you can only confront."

Chu Mo asked, "In this situation, what mindset do those Supreme Ancestors of the ancient clans have?"

"Want to break free, but there's no way. Life and death, reincarnation, all are not free." Spiritual Master Lingtong looked at Chu Mo: "So nearly all beings in the Supreme realm seek that path to transcend the heavens."

With that, Spiritual Master Lingtong sighed deeply: "In this world, traps are everywhere, where are the immortals!"

"Are there true immortals?" Qi Xiaoyu asked softly.

"I think, they exist." Spiritual Master Lingtong said: "That existence might just be."

Chu Mo looked at Spiritual Master Lingtong and suddenly said: "I want to try right now, to see if I can cut off your divinity."

Spiritual Master Lingtong shook his head: "Too soon!"

"Then what should be done now?" Chu Mo suddenly felt a bit powerless.

"Cultivate, wait." In Spiritual Master Lingtong's eyes, a vast universe was evolving: "One day, everything will come to light."

Hoo!

Chu Mo let out a long breath, looking at Spiritual Master Lingtong: "You have placed all your hope on me."

"Yes." Spiritual Master Lingtong nodded calmly.

"What if I hadn't come this time?" Chu Mo asked.

"When you cultivate to that point, I would naturally seek you out and explain everything to you. It's just earlier this time." Spiritual Master Lingtong said lightly: "Although I cannot control the whole game, on this board, I am no longer a piece to be discarded at will." He looked at Chu Mo: "Neither are you! But you are more dangerous than I am!"

"Could the Supreme and the Buddha be in the know?" Chu Mo suddenly asked.

"Possibly." Spiritual Master Lingtong pondered for a moment, then said softly: "I always feel they are too mysterious. Hard to find traces of them, maybe, they're deliberately avoiding me."

"I need to find the Buddha for answers." Determination flashed across Chu Mo's brows: "Just waiting passively, I refuse!"

Spiritual Master Lingtong hesitated for a long time before nodding: "If that's the case, then go ahead and give it a try."

"We'll go with you!" Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi said in unison.

"No way." Chu Mo and Spiritual Master Lingtong also said in unison.

"You two, stay here and focus on your cultivation. Without divinity in your heads, even if you reach the Supreme realm, to maintain some balance, that one wouldn't immediately target you. You have over a billion years of life expectancy to live." Chu Mo seriously looked at the two women: "In this thousand epochs... I believe, this matter will surely be resolved!"

Chu Mo didn't know if a thousand epochs would solve it, but he didn't want the two women by his side to experience any more hardships and crises.

"With you, experiencing everything, even suffering is sweet." Qi Xiaoyu said.

"Without you, the whole world is gray." Shui Yiyi said.

"So, let us go with you." The two women looked at Chu Mo, speaking in unison.

Spiritual Master Lingtong stood aside, involuntarily sighing: "Fine, let's live boldly, and die gloriously. Go!"

Chu Mo looked at Spiritual Master Lingtong, earnestly saluting: "Senior..."

"Senior?"

"Father-in-law!"

"Hmm."

"This journey for the Buddha, I wish henceforth, the heavens won't blind my eyes, the earth won't bury my heart, I wish all beings can be free from suffering and attain freedom!" Chu Mo said, earnestly saluting Spiritual Master Lingtong.

Spiritual Master Lingtong was taken aback for a moment, then returned the salute to Chu Mo with utmost seriousness.

"Take care!"
