Chapter 1105: with translation of chapter title

This time, which lineage is willing to bear the heavy responsibility of destroying the Human Sword?

As Ancestor Anshang's voice fell, the faces of all the lineage ancestors showed a thoughtful expression.

Going to face Qichun Jing, who might at any moment unleash the Human Sword, is still very risky.

If either Qichun Jing or the Human Sword were missing, they would not be so alarmed.

But together, they are more than the sum of their parts!

The beard on Ancestor Youmai's Heitantai face trembled, emitting a strange sound on his withered visage, and he spoke first: 'My Youmai lineage is willing to go!'

Hearing this, Ancestor Anshang nodded, showing satisfaction: 'Your Youmai lineage's divine wood also possesses sealing and restraining power, making it more suitable than other lineages. Rest assured, I will also project my descent this time, maintaining the starry battlefield at a delicate balance.'

'However, besides you, another person must go to the starry battlefield from another direction to counterbalance Qichun Jing, so he cannot arbitrarily attack any of you!'

Saying this, he swept his gaze over the ancestors, pointed at Ancestor Guihun, and said: 'You should go as well; your soul-system Dao also has some restraining effect on Qichun Jing.'

Ancestor Guihun wore a black robe; the thick, gloomy black mist swirling around him slightly dispersed, revealing a horrifying old face covered in dense wrinkles like ravines, exuding a ghastly aura.

His inner self was refusing.

But since Ancestor Anshang had already arranged it, he had no reason to refuse.

After all, Ancestor Anshang is the absolute ruler who now controls the Gui Palace!

Ancestor Guihun, as a fallback, said: 'Ancestor, then I will assist Heitantai.'

Ancestor Anshang nodded: 'That works too.'

He pushed the Sword Master Gu toward Heitantai.

Heitantai flicked his sleeve, extending a piece of withered wood to clamp the Sword Master Gu, examined it, and couldn't help exclaiming: 'This item is profoundly marvelous; I must say, the Gu Clan's Dao indeed forges its own path, awe-inspiring.'

This Sword Master Gu is like a Spiritual Weapon, yet possesses greater spirituality, containing more 'Dao' and 'rhythm'.

Within the Sword Master Gu flows a vast sword rhythm, forming intricate, obscure patterns and veins, giving rise to a 'momentum'!

It is precisely this momentum that grants the Sword Master Gu the ability to control all swords under heaven!

Ancestor Anshang nodded: 'Not bad, the Gu Clan's Dao is awe-inspiring. This Gu is above the eighth transformation but has not reached the ninth; it can be considered a half-step ninth transformation. Ninth-transform Gu, Gu Yue Laozi would not lightly let it flow out of the Gu Origin Heaven!'

Ancestor Guihun also observed the Sword Master Gu: 'To refine such heaven-defying Gu items, the Gu Clan must first have an extreme understanding of the Sword Dao, or other Daos. As I know, the Gu Clan's Gu items are myriad, countless; this means they actually master a great many Daos! This is simply shocking to hear.'

Hearing this, the other ancestors also nodded in agreement.

These words are not false!

Merely pushing a single Dao to its extreme consumes vast mental and spiritual energy, even for an extraordinarily talented person.

Does the Gu Clan truly have so many genius prodigies who have pushed numerous Daos to the extreme?

How could Gu Yue Laozi alone accomplish this?

This matter is simply beyond belief.

Upon careful thought, it is utterly terrifying!

Ancestor Anshang's gaze was deep: 'The Gu Clan are not originally of this world; perhaps after we leave the Giant Palm World and return, we can learn more about the Gu Clan.'

Just then, Elder Luosheng suddenly exclaimed, 'No way! No way...'

Everyone looked at Elder Luosheng with puzzled faces.

What's wrong with this guy?

Suddenly startled and jumpy!

Ancestor Anshang frowned, his face somewhat displeased: 'Luosheng, what do you want to say?'

Elder Luosheng hesitated a moment, then spoke: 'Ancestor, could it be that on the day you and Gu Yue Laozi discussed the Dao, he foresaw today, knowing you would need to use the Sword Master Gu... Of course, this is merely my speculation.'

Many ancestors sucked in a breath of cold air!

'Hiss!'

If that is true, then Gu Yue Laozi is practically a god!

This is too shocking!

Could Gu Yue Laozi not deduce past, present, and future events?

They are unwilling to believe Gu Yue Laozi could be that powerful; otherwise he would not remain hidden behind the scenes, not even daring to reveal his true form, only using stone statues to face the heavens.

Moreover, the last time Gu Yue Laozi and Ancestor Anshang discussed the Dao was already countless ages ago.

Ancestor Anshang's brows furrowed, his face grew unprecedentedly grave, and a hint of suspicion arose in his heart: 'Why did Gu Yue Laozi specifically give me this Gu on that day?'

He had not thought of it before, but Elder Luosheng's words gave him a hint of vigilance.

Gu Yue Laozi could lay out the seven-transform karma Gu for Chu Youwei in the lower realm, silently awaiting Lu Xuan's reappearance in the world; could he really know something?

Know that at that time, everyone in the Gui Palace believed Lu Xuan was dead beyond revival.

Yet Gu Yue Laozi was secretly plotting all of this!

Thinking of this, Ancestor Anshang said: 'There is no eternal cooperation, nor eternal enmity. Luosheng's words, though somewhat shocking, indeed warrant our Gui Palace's vigilance. This Gu Yue Laozi is a wily old fox of billions of miles; his schemes surely, to some extent, include calculating our Gui Palace.'

'Although he once swore a Dao oath not to contend with our Gui Palace for the Primordial Seeds, we must still guard against it. Perhaps the Gu Clan has a way to avoid the punishment of the Dao oath.'

Many ancestors felt a chill.

Gu Yue Laozi, a being whose true form they have never seen!

One who forever remains behind the scenes!

His methods are too many and shocking!

Heitantai's ancestor held the Sword Master Gu in his palm, faintly feeling some rejection toward it; he frowned and asked: 'Ancestor, should we still activate this Sword Master Gu?'

Ancestor Anshang replied lightly: 'Why not use it? Are we going to abandon eating because of a choke?'

Having come to this point, they must initiate this plan!

Ultimately, it's because the Lord of Qingming Heaven is too unreliable!

Ancestor Anshang said: 'The matter concerning Xiao Liang is absolutely secret! Once the Human Sword is destroyed, the blade hanging over our Gui Palace's head will be cut off! This is of utmost importance!'

Saying this, he flicked his finger, and two dark lights flew toward Heitantai's ancestor and Ancestor Guihun.

"This is the secret technique for activating the Sword Master poison insect; when the time comes, you just activate it!"

"Hiss!"

"In the minds of the two, a secret technique immediately appeared: 'Swordsman, sword; Sword Master, master of the sword...'"

"An extremely obscure and profound secret technique!"

"The next moment."

"Above the throne of the Dark Sorrow Old Ancestor, a terrifying phantom emerged, emanating overwhelming majesty, slowly approaching the two Ebony Killer Old Ancestors, saying: 'Take action, no delay! Head to Everlasting Heaven! Open the Starry Sky Battlefield!'"
