Heaven Slaying Blade

Chapter 1369: Parting


Luckily, it was only the two of them, father and son, here, so no one knew about their conversation. Otherwise, it certainly would have been incomprehensible—what kind of father acts like this? But now, only a very few are privy to this secret, and even if others heard it, they would not understand why there are even more people wanting to kill Chu Mo. Could it really be just because he carries the Imperial Clan's bloodline from the Luotian Immortal Domain?

Thus, some matters are only understood between father and son.

Chu Tianji looked at Chu Mo and said softly, "Child, this is your tribulation. There's not much your father can do to help. A group within the Imperial Clan of the Luotian Immortal Domain, including the current Emperor of the Luotian Immortal Domain, believe that you are the one prophesied. Their fundamental reason for wanting to kill you is not because of the blood you carry. It's because they fear the overthrow of the Imperial Clan."

With a sigh, Chu Tianji then said with a heavy tone, "About the prophecy, I have also asked your mother, and even she said that the prophecy had appeared many years ago. Very few can elucidate exactly what it's about. It was only said that someone would emerge in the Yanhuang region capable of destroying the cultivation of the top beings from the Luotian Immortal Domain... This prophecy, it must be true. Otherwise, an epoch ago, there wouldn't have been such a large expedition team from the Luotian Immortal Domain. But as to who exactly is the one from the prophecy, even those at the very top might not be able to clarify. Matters concerning themselves, the intertwining forces of cause and effect, even ancestral beings find it difficult to elucidate."

Chu Mo was listening quietly.

Chu Tianji sneered and continued, "Those high and lofty beings will not take action against you lightly, as it would involve tremendous karmic retribution, regardless of whether or not you are the person from the prophecy. The last time someone attempted against you, they probably suffered severe backlash."

"Last time?" Chu Mo frowned slightly.

"What? You don't remember at all?" Chu Tianji glanced at his son. "On the heavenly road, the moment you seized the opportunity for enlightenment..."

"You know about this?" Chu Mo was astonished, as he had never told his father about this incident, and hearing it so suddenly surprised him. Then, warmth flowed through his heart, and he realized that his father had always been silently watching over him, yet never intervening in his growth.

This is a father!

Fatherly love is as steadfast as a mountain!

It is there, almost imperceptible. Only when there is need for reliance does one find it has always been there.

"Yes, that time I entered a peculiar space, illusionary yet realistic. The world was vast and magnificent. Then a massive hand came smashing down, seemingly wanting to crush me. A jade seal then appeared, repelling that hand, and I was then able to withdraw from that world." Looking at his father, Chu Mo said in shock, "Are you saying that indeed, a supreme being had made a move against me?"

"Correct." Chu Tianji nodded gravely, his judgment growing firmer after hearing his son's detailed account. He said solemnly, "It appears the situation is more serious than we imagined. Someone has clearly decided that you are the disruptor from the prophecy and wants to kill you at all costs. However, the optimistic aspect now is that even those supreme beings might not be certain who their target was. It is you."

The sentence was a bit convoluted, but Chu Mo understood.

In a vast region teeming with countless geniuses, unless the supreme beings from that domain witnessed him with their own eyes, or had other evidence to prove that Chu Mo was the person from the prophecy, they indeed would not easily act against him.

"However, by now, they should be able to confirm your identity," Chu Tianji said with a wry smile. "The force that repelled that hand was a jade seal and probably only the Luotian Imperial Clan has the power to repel a supreme being with a jade seal... The Imperial Clan may lack ancestral beings nowadays, but this does not mean they are easy to bully. The qi movement accumulated by the Luotian Imperial Clan over countless years, even to supreme beings, is not to be trifled with. So, to change all this... in fact, we will have to see the attitude of the Luotian Imperial Clan."

Chu Tianji said this and sighed softly.

Father and son resonated with one another. Although Chu Mo had not spent much time with his father, in this moment, he understood what his father was thinking. Looking at Chu Tianji, he said, "Dad, don't beg them!"

Chu Tianji laughed heartily and then patted Chu Mo's shoulder, "Don't worry, I wouldn't demean myself like that!"

Chu Mo looked at his father's earnest face and then nodded, "That's good."

Then, Chu Tianji appeared in the Piaomiao Palace of Piaomiao City. The news of the Human Clan's victory finally spread, and the entire Cultivation Realm of the Yanhuang region, including those from foreign lands, rejoiced. More and more details were disclosed. Nearly everyone in the entire Cultivation Realm knew that this time, it was once again the Chu Clan!

Just like an epoch ago!

Chu Tianji began lecturing on the Dao at Piaomiao Palace, which was very different from Chu Mo's manner of lecturing. Chu Mo's teachings were in-depth but easy to understand, and he explained the Great Dao in a straightforward manner. Regardless of the listener's realm, they would gain insight. This was related to Chu Mo's own experiences of growth.

Chu Tianji's lectures, on the other hand, were profound and mysterious, leaving many cultivators of slightly lower realms and slightly weaker talents completely lost, unable to understand a single word!

This was the time to see who had the stronger talent!

For example, Chu Mo's disciple Fang Lan, or Hua Xiaoya, or Huang Hui, they listened intently, continuously emitting ripples of the Great Dao.

Those with higher realms, such as Luo Jue, Hongyue, Purple Smoke, including the Demon Lord, gained even more significant insights! They benefited more from Chu Tianji's lectures than from Chu Mo's.

It was entirely two different methods, and it was difficult to say whose was better. But Chu Tianji's lectures were indeed unimaginably beneficial to cultivators with exceptional talents.

Chu Tianji lectured for seven days here, and openly so!

Meaning, even those who were not from Piaomiao Palace could come and listen to the Dao.

Unfortunately, most of the senior cultivators outside Piaomiao Palace did not come back with them. They were still celebrating the rare victory in the Blood Demon Galaxy. When they heard about this later, many Quasi-Supremes and unparalleled Heavenly Geniuses beat their chests and stomped their feet in regret, lamenting the missed opportunity of a lifetime.

Seven days later, Chu Tianji ceased his sermon, and then, he was ready to bid his farewell and leave.

Everyone was reluctant to see him go, and most people had no idea where the great lord from the Chu Family was headed. Only a few understood that after so many years of laying low, watching his son grow up, he could finally leave with peace of mind.

He was going to find his wife!

The woman he loved the most in his life.

There were not many people seeing him off. Standing by Chu Mo's side were Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi, two women. Shui Yiyi didn't really want to come; although she had said she would marry the victor, that was said in the heat of the moment, and since returning, she had not brought it up again.

Thus, she was dragged here by Qi Xiaoyu. Besides them, there were Chu Tianxiong and his daughter Chu Qing, Hongyue, Purple Smoke, and the Demon Lord.

"Father, please be extra careful once you get there. Don't seek them out, and don't be too impulsive. I believe, as an Imperial Clan princess, even if my mother is under house arrest, she won't suffer too much hardship," Chu Mo looked at Chu Tianji, actually wanting very much to accompany his father there.

But he could not, it simply wasn't the time yet.

Chu Tianji nodded and smiled faintly, "Don't worry, as an old drunkard, a wretched old man like me won't catch anyone's attention over there."

"Big Brother, take care!" Chu Tianxiong's tiger-like eyes showed a tinge of sadness, but he made no attempt to persuade him to stay.

Chu Qing tearfully looked at her great-uncle, realizing in her heart that it would be difficult to see him again after this farewell.

Hongyue's eyes were also red, but she put on a brave smile and said, "The barriers of the Yanhuang Grand Domain are very strong. Can they really be broken through?"

Chu Tianji nodded, "Yes."

Purple Smoke watched Chu Tianji. She was a generation younger, considered to be from Chu Tianji's later generation, and asked softly, "Uncle Chu, my master...?"

Everyone fell silent, looking at Purple Smoke admiringly. Probably the only person who could know the exact whereabouts of the Drifting Empress was Chu Tianji.

Chu Tianji fell silent for a moment before saying, "She's doing well!"

The crowd exchanged glances, seeing shock and excitement in each other's eyes. Although various indications had suggested that the Drifting Empress might still be alive in this world before this, hearing it from Chu Tianji himself was still thrilling for everyone present.

The Demon Lord looked at Chu Tianji, respectfully asked his earnest question, "How can one achieve the Dao in the current sealed state of the entire Yanhuang Grand Domain?"

Chu Tianji thought for a moment, then said with emphasis, "Just break through these heavens."

"..." The crowd was somewhat speechless.

However, the Demon Lord revealed a thoughtful expression, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he bowed to Chu Tianji, "I will never forget the great kindness you have shown me, Demon Lord!"

Chu Tianji returned the gesture, "You're Chu Mo's master, let's consider us equals. This is just something I said; whether it can be achieved is up to you."

"A word from you, sir, is worth more than anything else," the Demon Lord said seriously.

Afterward, Chu Tianji took one last deep look at everyone, then waved his hand, "A thousand miles to escort a departure will eventually lead to separation. Go back now. I think, the Yanhuang Grand Domain can be at peace for many years to come." Saying that, he glanced at Chu Mo, "Child, continue working hard!"

Chu Mo nodded firmly and said softly, "If you see my mother, tell her, I miss her very much."

Chu Tianji's nose twitched with emotion, almost shedding tears, laughed heartily, "Already got yourself a wife, yet still acting like a child, isn't that embarrassing?" After glancing at Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi, Chu Tianji nodded lightly, "You're all very good. Next time we meet, I hope to see my grandchildren."

With that, Chu Tianji's figure vanished in front of everyone instantly. In the void, not a trace was left behind.

Then, in the deep recesses of the vast universe, suddenly a dazzling radiance burst forth, and then, the whole universe seemed to quiver violently for a moment before returning to calm.
