The filthy Corpse Energy quickly eroded the blessings on the surface of Gu Hai’s body. Although it seemed incredibly dangerous, it was not as terrifying as others imagined for Gu Hai.

This was because Gu Hai had the Worldly Sorrowful Endowment.

With the Worldly Sorrowful Endowment, the surging Corpse Energy did not turn Gu Hai into a corpse demon but became nourishment for his heavenly soul, raising his cultivation.

Whoosh!

After the malicious spirits were purified with the absorption of their Corpse Energy, the corpse demons came flying over.

However, the same thing happened. The instant they touched Gu Hai, the Corpse Energy drained from their bodies in the blink of an eye, purifying the corpse demons.

The corpse worm seemed to have met its natural enemy. In its panic, it commanded even more Corpse Energy to pour into Gu Hai.

The Corpse Energy that previously had always worked could not harm Gu Hai at all, evoking a strange horror in the corpse worm.

Gu Hai looked at the nearby corpse worm and revealed a cold smile. “Although we do not know what you are, you must have something to do with the Three Mountains City citizens’ death, right? You killed two hundred million of our citizens. You can forget about leaving alive today.”

Eeee! The corpse worm let out a ferocious cry, appearing incensed.

The small mouth on the corpse worm’s tongue shrieked, and even more corpse demons and malicious spirits swarmed Gu Hai.

Whoosh!

Too much Corpse Energy poured over. Gu Hai found it somewhat unbearable. Black veins popped on his face; the Corpse Energy had entered his flesh and blood. However, as the Worldly Sorrowful Endowment absorbed the Corpse Energy, he could endure it despite more Corpse Energy flooding him.

Eeee! Eeee! the corpse worm cried out but did not dare to approach.

Gu Hai did not care so much. Instead, he split off a portion of his consciousness and sent it into the Gu’s Immortal Firmament.

“Kong Xuan, Shangguan Hen, Ao Shun, how are your injuries?” Gu Hai asked.

“It has been ten days. Your Reverence’s divine medicine is truly incredible. This official has already recovered by eighty percent!” Kong Xuan replied seriously.

“Your Reverence, this official has recovered by half!” Shangguan Hen nodded.

“Your Reverence, this official has recovered by seventy percent!” Ao Shun also nodded.

One day outside was ten years in the Gu’s Immortal Firmament. Ten days in the Gu’s Immortal Firmament was only a while outside.

“Since you have already recovered by at least half, we won’t wait anymore. These are Lifespan Connecting Talismans, which the Unborn Man gave to us. When we release you from the Gu’s Immortal Firmament, be careful of the surging Corpse Energy outside. Once you get out, immediately activate them, then return to Borderless Heavenly Capital to support it. Listen to the commands of Mo Yike, the Han Vengeance Army’s supreme commander,” Gu Hai instructed.

“Yes!” the three answered.

With a thought, the three appeared beside Gu Hai.

Boom!

Gu Hai immediately knocked back some of the corpse demons.

“Corpse Energy?” The three’s expressions suddenly changed.

The surging Corpse Energy poured towards the three’s bodies. It was too ferocious.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The three activated their Lifespan Connecting Talismans nearly simultaneously. Blue light enveloped them, easing the pressure on them.

“Your Reverence, this is the corpse lair. What are you going to do after we leave?” Kong Xuan’s expression changed.

“Just go. We have another Lifespan Connecting Talisman. We will be fine. Go to Borderless Heavenly Capital quickly!” Gu Hai said.

“Yes!”

Their figures flashed, becoming like three beams of light soaring into the sky and vanishing.

Eeee!

The corpse worm uttered a ferocious cry, wanting to attack those three. However, they had already vanished.

Whoosh!

The three instantly appeared outside Three Mountains City.

Boom!

The Unborn Man and Lifespan Chunshen separated and came to a stop.

“Lifespan Connecting Talismans? Unborn Man, you actually forged three eons of lifespan into something so useless?” Lifespan Chunshen exclaimed in shock.

“Useless? Of course, it is useless to someone selfish like you. However, cultivating lifespan might not always be for oneself,” the Unborn Man retorted coldly.

“You are not cultivating lifespan for yourself? Hahaha! How laughable! This is my first time seeing a lifespan cultivator divesting some of his cultivated lifespan to benefit others? Do you know how difficult each eon of lifespan is to cultivate?” Lifespan Chunshen said with incredible shock.

“Where is His Reverence?” The Unborn Man looked at the three.

“His Reverence does not want to come out yet. Unborn Man, thank you for your efforts!” Shangguan Hen said gravely.

“He does not want to come out yet? Why? This is a Burial Mound Lifespan Ritual Array. There might be a corpse worm in there; it is very dangerous. Why has His Reverence not left yet?” the Unborn Man asked anxiously.

“I’m not sure. Unborn Man, His Reverence tasked us with something, so we won’t be staying. We will take our leave first!” Kong Xuan said gravely.

“Oh?” The Unborn Man’s face sank.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Ao Shun, Kong Xuan, and Shangguan Hen immediately turned into three beams of light shooting towards Borderless Heavenly Capital.

Borderless Heavenly Capital was in grave danger; they could not afford any further delay. The three returned to reinforce Borderless Heavenly Capital.

“Halt!” Lifespan Chunshen shouted furiously. However, he did not dare to give chase.

A lifespan cultivator might not necessarily be strong. While Lifespan Chunshen might have overwhelming means within a lifespan ritual array, he could not stop Kong Xuan, Ao Shun, and Shangguan Hen even if he summoned experts from the nether realm.

The three instantly vanished into the horizon.

Lifespan Chunshen suddenly placed his hand on the Burial Mound Lifespan Ritual Array and shouted, “Kong Xuan, Shangguan Hen, and Ao Shun escaped. Lifespan Beiming, be careful!”

“There’s still a Lifespan Beiming? The Six Paths Immortal killed the previous-generation Lifespan Beiming less than ten years ago, right? Yet another generation of Lifespan Beiming has been born already?” the Unborn Man said coldly.

“Humph!”

“Doesn’t that mean His Reverence is in even more danger inside?” The Unborn Man’s face sank.

The Unborn Man waved his hand as he spoke.

Whoosh!

A huge black hole appeared out of nowhere. Then, a massive skeleton emerged from it.

“Do you think I can’t summon from the nether realm? Unborn Man, you are not sufficient to break the Burial Mound Lifespan Ritual Array!” Lifespan Chunshen said coldly.

Lifespan Chunshen also waved his hand to open a passageway to the nether realm as he spoke. A monster covered in flames climbed out.

Inside the Burial Mound Lifespan Ritual Array:

Long Shenying and Long Shenwu looked at the prostrate Long Sanqian.

“Father, Uncle, I was wrong. I don’t dare to again in the future. I will help you wholeheartedly in the future. You can even lay restrictions on my souls! Father, this child doesn’t dare to again!” the severely injured Long Sanqian pleaded pitifully.

“Should we kill him?” Long Shenying asked.

Long Shenwu narrowed his eyes. “I do somewhat feel like killing him, but I can’t bear to. What do you think? Do you need his ability?”

Long Shenying frowned slightly. “Indeed, exchanging souls is a powerful, double-edged sword. Although it might hurt us, it could hurt the enemy even more.”

Long Shenying felt incredibly reluctant.

“Uncle, I’ll do anything you say in the future! I’ll do anything! I don’t dare to oppose you anymore!” Long Sanqian immediately begged for mercy.

The Long brothers narrowed their eyes, remaining silent.

“Uncle, Father, I’m a Long Clan member, after all. Grandfather is Long Zhanguo; we share the same blood. Although I took the wrong path earlier, I ask Uncle and Father to give me a chance. Just once!” Long Sanqian said pitifully.

The Long brothers hesitated.

At the side, Lifespan Beiming’s expression changed. “Oh no! Lifespan Chunshen sent word. Kong Xuan and the others fled.”

“What?” The Long brothers’ expressions suddenly changed.

“What about Gu Hai?” Long Shenwu asked coldly.

Whoosh!

Long Shenying immediately flew to the Southern Sea Dragon Kong, setting Long Sanqian’s fate aside.

“Is Gu Hai still there?” Long Shenying asked coldly.

“He is, isn’t he?” the Southern Sea Dragon King said, feeling confused. Then, he turned his head back and continued using the corpse worm’s tooth to speak to Gu Hai.

------

In the corpse lair:

Whoosh!

A voice suddenly rang out as Gu Hai absorbed the surging Corpse Energy.

“Gu Hai, are you dead yet?”

Gu Hai’s eyes suddenly opened. “Southern Sea Dragon King?”

“If you can hear me, that is good.” The Southern Sea Dragon King’s cold laughter rang out.

Gu Hai narrowed his eyes slightly. “Southern Sea Dragon King, you must be here on the Spirit Mountain Holy Land’s mission, right? Tell us, what does the Spirit Mountain Holy Land want from us?”

“You still have the strength to speak? Hah! The Corpse Energy must feel unbearable, right? Gu Hai, I want the location of a person!” the Southern Sea Dragon King said coldly.

“Oh? Who?”

“Zhengfa Ming! Where is he? Is he in Borderless Heavenly Capital or in your Gu’s Immortal Firmament?” the Southern Sea Dragon King asked seriously.

“Zhengfa Ming?” Gu Hai felt slightly startled.

Gu Hai quickly searched his memories for this name. Soon, he remembered.

It was that little beggar that Ensnaring Performance and the Spirit Mountain Holy Land’s people fought over in Heavenly Court City before the Ten Thousand Sages Convention. That mute beggar was the only person who enjoyed Ensnaring Performance’s singing.

Back then, Gu Hai made a move and used the Great Compassion Mantra to manifest the Bodhisattva Guanyin of his memories from Earth using the music Dao. In the end, that Bodhisattva Guanyin’s dharmic incarnation and the Great Compassion Mantra’s chanting entered Zhengfa Ming’s forehead. Many people called him the Dao Devouring Physique. He was a person the Spirit Mountain Holy Land wanted desperately.

However, no one from the Spirit Mountain Holy Land expressed any desire to obtain Zhengfa Ming later, so he nearly forgot about Zhengfa Ming.

Dao Devouring Physique? That is a physique that can devour some laws, just like how Zhengfa Ming devoured the Great Compassion Mantra’s laws. Dao Devouring Physiques have appeared in history, but the Spirit Mountain Holy Land did not seem to care then. Why do they care so much this time?

“That’s right. Where is Zhengfa Ming? Is he in your Gu’s Immortal Firmament? Gu Hai, hand him over, and I can spare you!” the Southern Sea Dragon King said seriously.

“Hah! The Spirit Mountain Holy Land went to such lengths to find an ordinary, mute beggar? Why?” Gu Hai asked.

“You don’t need to know!” the Southern Sea Dragon King retorted.

“Then never mind. We don’t need you to spare us. Let’s see who will have the last laugh!” Gu Hai said coldly.

------

Long Shenying had flown over and asked about Gu Hai. Naturally, the Southern Sea Dragon King said Gu Hai was there.

Long Shenwu followed behind, narrowing his eyes at Long Shenying.

Below, Long Sanqian inwardly let out his bated breath. The Long brothers had finally stopped thinking about killing him. He raised his head, and as he looked at the Long brothers above, his eyes gleamed.

“Southern Sea Dragon King, you are looking for that little beggar? What use is he?” Long Shenying asked.

“Sorry, it is better if you don’t know.” The Southern Sea Dragon King shook his head.

“It looks like you are not here to avenge your daughter, Bodhisattva Nan Longnu. Hah! Is this Zhengfa Ming that important?” Long Shenwu asked.

The Southern Sea Dragon King shook his head but did not explain.

“Southern Sea Dragon King, no matter what Gu Hai says, do not trust him. He just wants to escape. Once Gu Hai dies, we can obtain his immortal firmament and slowly search it,” Long Shenying said.

“Gu Hai is ignoring me now. He would rather die than reveal Zhengfa Ming’s location,” the Southern Sea Dragon King said while shaking his head.

“Then let Lifespan Beiming urge the corpse worm on and turn Gu Hai into a corpse demon faster to avoid an accident,” Long Shenying said.

“Alright.” The Southern Sea Dragon King shook his head.

“Alright, I’ll get the corpse worm to move faster.” Lifespan Beiming started urging the corpse worm on.

------

Rumble…!

The corpse lair churned. The corpse worm there seemed unwilling to approach Gu Hai.

Sitting cross-legged in the corpse lair, Gu Hai had already acclimatized to the surging Corpse Energy. He did not feel afraid as he watched the corpse worm inch closer. Instead, he showed a ruthless and ferocious expression.
