The hunt begins!

Chu Xinghe hadn't expected to learn this secret.

“Originally, there were five of us brothers. Father fought against three Divine Devils.

We fought against the other creatures spawned by the Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm, all of us in the Thousand Ages Emperor Realm.

But the Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm eventually detonated those creatures, causing six Thousand Ages Emperor experts to self-destruct.

In that battle, the ultimate treasure of our Wu Clan, the nine-layered tower, was blasted apart, and my three younger brothers sacrificed themselves to forge a path of survival for us.

However, that battle caused us immense damage, and the power of the Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm remained in our bodies, constantly eroding our strength.

Later, we chose a method: finding heavenly and earthly Materials to re-condense a false Physical Body and inject our power into it.

We have been hiding here ever since. A false Physical Body is fake after all, and it has been difficult to maintain over the years.

We cannot go out either; if we did, we would surely be discovered, and the Legacy of our Wu Clan would be severed.”

Great Shaman One finished speaking and knelt down.

“Young Master, even if the current Wu Clan Bloodline Awakening succeeds, it will be difficult for them to help you. After we pass the items to them, I request that Young Master send them away.

As for the remaining path, how about my second brother and I walk it, clearing a way for Young Master?”

Chu Xinghe looked at the kneeling Great Shaman One.

“Why don't you think about killing me? If you kill me, you can still lead the Wu Clan beings away.”

Great Shaman One shook his head: “I cannot kill Young Master. I sense a powerful threat from you, the kind of threat I felt when facing Father back then.

Now, the two of us are crippled. After sublimation, we should barely be able to exert the Thousand Ages Emperor Realm.

At that time, when we detonate the center of the entire Southern Border, the Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm will definitely appear.

The Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm previously degenerated into an ordinary bug. If it wants to return to the Emperor Realm, it must definitely undergo a Lightning Tribulation.

Over the years, the Southern Border has only experienced one Lightning Tribulation, and it wasn't the Aura of the Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm. Therefore, I can initiate the detonation to attract the Lightning Tribulation prematurely.

After the Lightning Tribulation, its life or death will be unknown, and Young Master can then make a move.”

Chu Xinghe had to admit, he was indeed tempted.

He had originally cultivated Little Wu Village purely for exploitation.

He hadn't expected that he would actually draw out two powerful experts.

Moreover, these two were even stronger than the people of Little Wu Village.

Chu Xinghe nodded.

Great Shaman One stood up.

“Thank you, Young Master, for giving our Wu Clan this opportunity.”

Chu Xinghe nodded.

Great Shaman One turned and walked toward the people of Little Wu Village.

“The Young Master will send you away shortly. You are too weak. Even if you receive our Legacy, it will be difficult for you to take that final step.

That step is not only due to Bloodline but also personal opportunities.”

The people of the Wu Clan remained silent.

Great Shaman One glanced at Great Shaman Two.

Great Shaman Two nodded.

He formed a hand Seal.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

The ground trembled.

Two corpses appeared.

This was where they stored their power.

The two corpses split open.

Several drops of golden-yellow blood appeared.

They landed in the Sea of Consciousness of the Little Wu Village members.

Chu Xinghe drew a line in the Void Realm with his finger.

A Void Passage appeared.

The Wu Clan Grand Elder knelt down.

He kowtowed to Great Shaman One, Great Shaman Two, and Chu Xinghe.

The rest of the Little Wu Village residents did the same.

Even Da Hua left with them.

Great Shaman One and Great Shaman Two looked at Chu Xinghe.

“Thank you, Young Master, for giving our Wu Clan this opportunity.”

Chu Xinghe shook his head.

He originally intended to use the Wu Clan to draw out those old fellows from the Sacred Palace.

Now, he could achieve the same goal.

Seeing the high morale of Great Shaman One and Great Shaman Two, surprise flashed in Chu Xinghe's eyes.

“It feels like neither of you cares about death at all.”

Great Shaman One sighed.

“Young Master, actually, the path of our Wu Clan was already severed when our father died.

Chu Xinghe was a little confused.

“Young Master, please examine our bodies.”

Chu Xinghe placed his finger on Great Shaman One.

“Huh!”

Chu Xinghe released Great Shaman One.

“Young Master must have sensed it—the power of the Seal. This means that our Wu Clan will never again produce an Eternal Emperor expert, and even a Thousand Ages Emperor is hard to come by. The path of our Wu Clan is completely cut off.

Hope was given to us, only to be completely severed again.

We don't know if that 'thing' did it, perhaps fearing our Wu Clan was too strong.

Back then, my father alone fought three Divine Devils, killing two and crippling one. It was after that event that the path of our Wu Clan was severed.”

Chu Xinghe remained silent.

After sensing that power of the Seal, Chu Xinghe's comprehension of the Dao deepened considerably.

Chu Xinghe sat cross-legged on the ground.

He merged this shred of comprehension with the Dao he had created.

The Dao Tribulation Scripture was also constantly growing stronger.

After more than ten minutes, Chu Xinghe opened his eyes.

His entire body's Aura was unified.

Great Shaman One and Great Shaman Two exchanged glances.

Their eyelids twitched.

They secretly rejoiced that they hadn't acted against Chu Xinghe.

“Is Young Master creating a Law?”

Chu Xinghe nodded.

The two men gasped.

They had all followed the path of their father.

It was difficult to surpass.

Everyone who can create a Law is a darling of the era.

As long as the creation of the Law is successful, they are someone who can walk their own path.

Such a person can become a forbidden existence.

Those individuals belong to the Realm of legends.

They hadn't expected to see one right now.

Great Shaman One took a deep breath.

Several Jade Slips appeared in his hand.

“These things should be somewhat helpful to Young Master.”

Chu Xinghe glanced at them and accepted them; they were indeed somewhat helpful.

Chu Xinghe also understood the intentions of the two men.

They wanted to help Chu Xinghe in every possible way.

Their goal was naturally to have Chu Xinghe protect their Wu Clan.

“Thank you!”

Great Shaman One and Great Shaman Two smiled.

“Young Master, shall we begin now!”

Chu Xinghe nodded.

Chu Xinghe handed the nine-layered tower in his hand to Great Shaman One.

Great Shaman One casually waved his hand.

The palace changed.

Three more fragments of the nine-layered tower appeared.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

The nine-layered tower merged together.

“This is the ultimate treasure of our Wu Clan. Those three layers should be in the Sacred Palace.

When we draw them out, please trouble Young Master to take this item back to the Wu Clan for us.”

Chu Xinghe did not refuse.

To Chu Xinghe, these were minor matters.

As long as his goal could be achieved.

As for the nine-layered tower, Chu Xinghe didn't particularly care about it.

Especially since it was a fragmented item.

Even if fully repaired, it would only be an Emperor Weapon.

“The two of you follow me, so they won't discover you.”

At this moment, in the Ancestral Land of the Sacred Palace in the Southern Border.

The Fourth and The Fifth had already returned.

In the Ancestral Land, within a massive, bottomless canyon.

Five people stood in five directions.

Five streams of power jointly suppressed something below.

The bug's body was covered in golden patterns, with two horns on its head and four pairs of wings on its back.

Massive Law chains firmly bound it.

The First looked at the Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm, his expression grim.

Why was the Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm so difficult to suppress today?

“Continue the suppression. Don't let it escape. As long as we suppress it for two more months, our plan will succeed, and we will be able to advance further in our Realm.”

Hearing the words of The First, hot desire flashed in the eyes of the others.

The power emanating from their bodies involuntarily intensified.

The Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm struggled violently.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

Just at this moment, two people suddenly appeared.

The five people were stunned.

Even the Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm was startled.
