Chapter 330: Ancestor Emperor Reincarnation and Dao Ancestor Second
The battle for the champions of the Eastern and Western Continents left three days for rest and adjustment.
Chu Huaixu had almost been in seclusion the entire time, yet no one knew what he had been busy with.
In truth, he had not been cultivating much at all.
Most of his time had actually been spent thinking.
After all, he had witnessed the battle between the Ancestor Emperor and the Evil Sword.
Chu Huaixu had seen many of the Ancestor Emperor’s methods, as well as some of the trump cards he could currently use.
“Actually, no matter how formidable the Ancestor Emperor is, he’s still limited by this mere Third Realm physical body.”
“A max-level boss is useless too—this ‘low-level account’ is too weak. Many methods simply can’t be used.”
Overall, the most troublesome issue right now was the Moon Country’s national fate.
It continuously drew in power, as if it would never run out of energy.
Chu Huaixu still had several million points of Cultivation Method Experience, but unfortunately, he could no longer rely on leveling up to restore energy.
A bold plan had formed in his mind.
“It’s just a pity… I can’t test this plan.”
“I can only hope the Dao Ancestor doesn’t screw me over. Everything I experienced in the Dao Ancestor Secret Realm should match reality.”
Otherwise, he would have no choice but to publicly use the Accursed Pill!
Last night, Chu Huaixu had called Xu Ziqing over and had him take out the Bronze Sword.
The Dead Fox’s intention was simple—he wanted to test whether the Accursed Pill could absorb Baleful Aura and thereby strengthen its effect.
The devouring capacity of Baleful Aura had a limit, and so did the Accursed Pill.
However, the latter had a higher rank—perhaps it could directly absorb it!
If not, then he would let Dao Birth One absorb it first, and then refine a few Accursed Pills for fun.
There was just one problem.
If Xu Ziqing held the sword in his left hand, it would not emit Baleful Aura.
If he held it in his right hand, unless he was beaten half to death, the sword spirit would not be sealed again.
Fortunately, after discussion, they realized they could use the Sword Nurturing Art!
When performing the Sword Nurturing Art, it was equivalent to nourishing the Evil Sword—it would briefly awaken, as if enjoying itself.
As a result, the moment the sword spirit awakened, it “saw” Chu Huaixu—someone it found utterly displeasing.
Moreover, Chu Huaixu’s face carried a look of blatant mockery.
The Heart Sword in his Sea of Consciousness trembled violently, issuing constant provocations.
This immediately caused terrifying baleful aura and accursed energy to erupt from the Bronze Sword!
Chu Huaixu directly took out the Accursed Pill containing the Four Symbols Spirit Root and attempted to absorb it.
As for the other Accursed Pill, he wasn’t foolish enough to take it out.
That one contained strands of Emperor-level Divine Sense—this was the opponent’s territory; it was too risky.
Unexpectedly, it actually worked!
The power of the Accursed Pill was indeed enhanced, absorbing strands of baleful aura.
However, the process seemed to have a limit—it did not absorb too many strands.
By the time the sword spirit reacted, the Sword Nurturing Art had already ended.
“This is supposed to be nourishing me!?”
“This is robbery!”
Helplessly, it was immediately sealed again by the Dao Ancestor’s restriction amid its fury, falling back into slumber.
“You really expect a sword to have much intelligence?” Chu Huaixu felt somewhat pleased.
He immediately activated Dao Birth One, drawing the Accursed Pill back in and storing it within the Black Bead to prevent any mishaps.
Regrettably, he could not even use his divine sense to inspect the interior of the Accursed Pill to see how much its devouring limit had increased—his divine sense would also be absorbed.
“The system’s Information Probe could be used, but my permission level still needs to be raised. All I see are question marks,” Chu Huaixu said helplessly.
He exhaled a long breath of turbid air and, in front of Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing, smiled and said, “Now everything is ready.”
He knew that after deciding to kill the Heir of Prince Rui, the two of them must be worried.
But as always, they would unconditionally support every decision he made.
Thus, he deliberately said a few reassuring words to ease their concerns.
“I just don’t know… what the public resentment toward me in Moon Country looks like now, or what the people think about the champion’s duel,” the Dead Fox thought.
The situation continued to develop exactly as Chu Huaixu had hoped.
The Xuanhuang Realm was not an information-explosion world. Even though cultivators could travel a thousand miles a day, the spread of major events still required time.
Chu Huaixu’s “atrocious actions” had now spread throughout the entire Moon Country.
“Outrageous! Does he really think no one in Moon Country can stand up to him!?”
“To attempt to kill in such a match—is this the Dao Gate’s conduct!?”
“Xuanhuang Champion? He has no bearing, no grace whatsoever!”
Especially his muttered remark—asking whether Moon Country people couldn’t handle losing—had completely ignited the anger of the entire nation.
On Earth, this level of mockery would be nothing.
But this was the Xuanhuang Realm.
When had people here ever heard such words?
Condemnation rose everywhere, growing louder and louder.
Meanwhile, Qin Xuanxiao’s victory in the semifinals caused an enormous sensation.
From an objective standpoint, the Heir of Prince Rui had only narrowly won.
He had merely lasted a few breaths longer than Xu Ziqing.
But according to eyewitnesses, that battle had shaken heaven and wept ghosts!
For some reason, both had risen into the air.
The divine abilities they displayed approached the power of Fifth Realm major cultivators!
Among the spectators, there were certainly Fifth and Sixth Realm experts.
After all, this was the Imperial Capital of Moon Country—a place full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
Even they described the battle as utterly outrageous.
It was unimaginable that such a scene would appear in a Third Realm competition.
On Xu Ziqing’s side, his greatest reliance was clearly that sword.
And that sword looked extremely sinister.
But their Heir was different.
Some even said that the Heir had likely already mastered a Heaven-rank technique left behind by the Ancestor Emperor!
Combined with the continuous influx of national fate that day, rumors spread wildly among the people.
Many began saying: “His Highness the Heir is practically the reincarnation of the Ancestor Emperor!”
Qin Xuanxiao would never have imagined that he would one day receive such a nickname.
What reincarnation of the Ancestor Emperor?
This was clearly the Ancestor Emperor fighting on his behalf!
But all of this undoubtedly reignited the people’s confidence.
Due to various historical issues, Moon Country and Mirror Country had never gotten along.
To the common people, this Eastern-Western Continents competition was a battle of national pride—almost like a contest of national strength!
But Moon Country’s performance this time had been too poor.
Only the Heir had made it into the top four.
“Thankfully, His Highness has fought his way through and reached the champion’s duel!”
“As long as he wins the title of Xuanhuang Champion, nothing else matters!”
Moreover, Chu Huaixu’s earlier performances were far inferior to that one time when the Ancestor Emperor had fought for him.
This further raised everyone’s expectations for Qin Xuanxiao.
And most people had very clear positions.
Many would not consider the actual situation—they only stood by their own side.
Thus, countless people in Moon Country believed that the Heir would win!
Everyone was waiting for him to teach that arrogant Chu Huaixu a harsh lesson on the platform.
To make him pay for his reckless words!
Under such an atmosphere, the finals of the Eastern and Western Continents competition finally began.
The battle for the champions was scheduled for the afternoon.
The Dao Gate delegation would move out in full force to the venue, cheering for Chu Huaixu.
At the gathering ground, the Dao Gate members assembled.
Jiang Zhi and the other high-level figures did not appear—they would head directly to the high platform later.
Steward Mo stood at the front, organizing the team.
As the Dao Gate disciples gathered, they all began to cheer for Chu Huaixu.
His prestige among his peers in the Dao Gate was now like the blazing sun at its zenith!
No matter how powerful the Heir had appeared in the previous round, the Dao Gate disciples stubbornly believed that Chu would surely win!
“You’re the reincarnation of the Ancestor Emperor? So what?”
“Our True Disciple Chu is hailed as Dao Ancestor Second!”
No matter how strong your Ancestor Emperor is—can he compare to our Dao Ancestor?
Mo Qingmei stood at the front, counted the人数, and after confirming everyone had gathered, said, “Let’s depart.”
However, Chu Huaixu suddenly called out to her: “Steward Mo.”
“Hmm?” Mo Qingmei paused in surprise.
Chu Huaixu stepped forward, looking at the middle-aged woman before him.
It was clear that her face carried a trace of fatigue.
After Niu Yuanshan’s self-inflicted death, many responsibilities of leading the team had fallen solely on her.
Moreover, the man she had loved for years had died just like that—how could she sleep or eat in peace?
Instead, she had kept herself constantly busy.
If there was nothing to do, she would find something to do.
In short, Mo Qingmei never allowed herself to stop.
She originally had a gentle, enduring kind of beauty—such women aged slowly.
As years passed, their advantages became more pronounced.
But now, she seemed a few years older than before.
Whether due to exhaustion or something else, it was hard to tell.
Since Old Niu’s death, she had not sought out Chu Huaixu, nor had she spoken much with him.
Because she had always regarded him as a junior, and herself as a close elder to him.
Mo Qingmei was afraid.
She feared that if she lost control of her emotions, she would affect Chu Huaixu.
She believed that with Old Niu dead, this child must also be deeply saddened.
She did not want to burden him with her own negative emotions.
At this moment, she did not know why Chu Huaixu had suddenly called her.
Little did she know, he had something to say to her—and he chose to say it here because he felt the surrounding disciples should hear it as well.
“Steward Mo, I know that because of Steward Niu’s matter, you went to seek out Elder Nangong and the others.”
“Elder Nangong told you to wait.”
“Steward Mo, in truth, you shouldn’t have had to wait this long.”
“But I had no other choice.”
Chu Huaixu said in a deep voice:
“Today, I will give you an answer—and give you the first explanation.”
