379: Can't carry it, can't carry it at all

"Upper Realm people are truly cunning!"

"Good thing! So am I!"

Looking at the victims of this incident, they were actually only Gao Yuan, the Vicious God Hall, Empress Wang Fengxian, and the forces behind her.

It's just that...

The current situation is becoming increasingly grim.

In the Upper Realm, everyone is a schemer.

Even if he was a top-tier schemer, he couldn't cope with the endless array of tricks.

Just like Gao Yuan.

A Golden Immortal!

When he walked outside, people would call him Immortal Lord!

But what was the result? He was tricked!

Moreover, he didn't even know he was tricked, which was terrifying!

"No!" Chu Mo slammed the table, "To avoid being tricked by others, I must first set up a grand scheme! A grand scheme that will sweep across the entire Upper Realm!"

..."Stand firm, hands, raise your hands a little higher! You idiot! How can you master the Eight Desolations Demon-Slaying Halberd Technique looking like that?!"

In the courtyard.

Zhuge Changde was thoroughly exasperated.

He originally thought his grandson would inherit some of the Zhuge Clan's intelligence, but what was the result?

Calling him as stupid as a pig would be an insult to pigs!

At least, if a pig were reincarnated into the Zhuge Clan, it would definitely not be as stupid as Zhuge Rizhao.

He, a dignified Immortal King, couldn't even teach him!

"Dad, what kind of horrible halberd technique is this? It's not suitable for me at all. My suggestion is to switch to a new one!"

Zhuge Rizhao said very seriously.

He had just checked, and the return rate for this halberd technique was only 1%, meaning he had to put in 100 units of effort to get 1 unit of reward.

Why practice such a halberd technique then?

Switch!

Must switch!

But Zhuge Changde didn't think that way, and slapped Zhuge Rizhao on the back of his head.

And he taught him in an extremely stern tone.

"This is the Zhuge Clan's ancestral halberd technique. When practiced to a profound level, one can fight heaven and earth..."

"Dad, have you practiced it?"

"No!"

"Why? Since this ancestral halberd technique is so powerful, why don't you practice it?!"

"I am a cultured person! I don't like fighting and killing!"

Zhuge Rizhao saw through his old man at a glance, "Dad, tell me the truth, is there something wrong with this halberd technique! Is that why you didn't learn it?!"

He had just praised this halberd technique to the heavens.

But now, he himself wasn't learning it.

There must be something wrong here!

At this moment, Chu Mo's voice came.

"Senior Zhuge, your main cultivation is the array Dao, supplemented by the Law of Water, the Law of Fire, the Law of Earth, and the Law of Wind. You can transform a piece of heaven and earth into a Formation Plate, directly activating the array to trap and kill enemies! Such talent and Comprehension Ability naturally require strategizing from within, deciding victory a thousand miles away."

"It's just average." Zhuge Changde kept his emotions hidden, making it difficult for others to guess his thoughts at this moment.

"Mainly cultivating the array Dao? Fighting from the back? Isn't that just hiding in the back? But Dad really has this cautious personality. He's an Immortal King, yet he's still holed up in this Great Yan where there are barely any Golden Immortals. If I were my dad, I might have already broken out of the Ethereal Immortal Domain and conquered the Immortal Realm!"

Zhuge Rizhao's words soon brought punishment.

A 'greeting' from his own father.

Halberd shadows flew like wind, each strike precisely hitting Zhuge Rizhao's backside, making him cry out for his parents.

"The ancestral motto of my Zhuge Clan is that descendants must be self-reliant and join different forces to learn a skill.

This situation continued until the 13th Generation Ancestor's generation, when a true Prodigy appeared in the Zhuge Clan, who single-handedly created this halberd technique, capable of contending with a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Over time, this halberd technique was passed down. However, with the ancestral motto in place, the youngest person in the Zhuge Clan would stay in the Family and inherit this halberd technique.

But you, I see you're already useless!

I might as well start a new 'small account' (meaning, train a new successor)!"

Zhuge Changde, while fiercely beating Zhuge Rizhao, explained the origin of this halberd technique and the selection of its inheritor.

Chu Mo also listened silently, and at the same time, using his Shen Yan's Eye, carefully observed Zhuge Changde's every Move and the Law's operation within his Moves.

To be honest, Zhuge Changde's compatibility with this halberd technique was not very high. Although he performed it somewhat properly.

He couldn't fully unleash the power of this halberd technique. Perhaps this was related to his personality.

This halberd technique emphasized going forward without hesitation, with no retreat and no thought of survival.

Therefore.

Every halberd Move was executed with the attitude of giving it all, either killing the enemy or dying oneself.

Currently, Zhuge Changde's performance lacked pure killing intent and decisive killing attitude.

However, it was more than enough to introduce someone to the technique. Of course, this also required excellent Comprehension Ability, otherwise, one would be like Zhuge Rizhao, completely unable to understand and just wildly flail around.

At this moment.

Chu Mo was completely immersed in Zhuge Changde's halberd technique, even his body uncontrollably began to Move along with it. Each swing carried a trace of Zhuge Changde wielding the great halberd.

Initially, it was extremely awkward.

But as time passed, it became increasingly proficient.

Even Zhuge Changde stopped beating the good-for-nothing and watched Chu Mo's practice.

On the ground, Zhuge Rizhao, barely breathing, struggled to raise his head and look at Chu Mo, who was practicing the halberd technique.

He said to his father, "Why don't you pass this halberd technique to my master! I really can't learn it!"

"..."

After a moment of silence.

Zhuge Changde finally spoke.

"No need to pass it on. He already knows it!"

"???" Zhuge Rizhao's head was full of question marks. What did he mean by 'already knows it all'? He just watched for a bit and he knows it?!

Zhuge Changde slapped him hard on the back of the head again: "This halberd technique doesn't focus on Moves, but on Concept! Back then, your 13th Generation Ancestor, when comprehending this Move, once said that future generations who learn his halberd technique should not only learn the Moves but also the Concept and spirit of the halberd technique. Never lose the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds."

"So... Dad, what is the spirit of this halberd technique?" Zhuge Rizhao blinked at his father, clear yet foolish.

Zhuge Changde's fists hardened again.

And then, the sound of crying for parents echoed in the courtyard again.

After a while, the sound stopped.

"If it weren't for the Zhuge Clan's ancestral motto, I wouldn't bother teaching you! You're just like your ninety-eight older brothers and sisters, go out and be self-reliant."

With that, Zhuge Changde angrily flicked his sleeves and left.

The higher one's cultivation, the harder it is to have offspring.

Zhuge Rizhao was his offspring before he became a Taiyi Realm expert. In the future, he probably wouldn't have any more offspring.

But he still had a hope in his heart.

To train a new 'small account' (meaning, a new successor)!

Zhuge Rizhao was truly incapable of shouldering great responsibilities, and he didn't want the Zhuge Clan's Legacy to end with Zhuge Rizhao.

Therefore, eight-year-old Zhuge Rizhao, like his ninety-eight older brothers and sisters, was driven out of the Zhuge Family to be self-reliant, instead of being kept in the Zhuge Family to be groomed as the next Family head.

Zhuge Rizhao felt his father's temper was incredibly strange.

"For no reason, my master learned our Family's ancestral halberd technique, why are you scolding me?!"

Chu Mo was still comprehending in the courtyard, but he was no longer practicing, instead sitting cross-legged.

Calming his mind to comprehend the Dao.

Zhuge Rizhao did not leave, but stood beside Chu Mo like a bodyguard, acting as his Protector.

If anyone tried to harm his master, he would immediately call for his big dad!

His real big dad!
