Chapter 360: Borrowing a Corpse to Resurrect a Soul

“Truly live.”

After listening to Lu Yang’s words, Patriarch Nether Whisper was slightly stunned. Immediately after, he took the Secret Record of Immortal Fetus Experiencing the World handed over by Lu Yang and began to read it with a slight frown.

A moment later, he exhaled a mouthful of foul breath deeply.

“It is indeed possible.”

However, as his voice fell, he looked at Lu Yang again and whispered, “Why did you suddenly think of letting me revive? That Perfected Lord is not dead yet.”

“Does the Patriarch not want to take revenge personally?”

Lu Yang said in a deep voice, “There are still fifty years left. If the Patriarch can truly revive and return to Foundation Establishment Perfection, there might be a hope of attempting the Golden Core!”

Hearing this, Patriarch Nether Whisper was even more puzzled and frowned. “Attempting the Golden Core… where does the hope come from? That old ghost of the Ye Family is only in seclusion, not dead yet. [Wall-top Earth] still has an owner. Even if I restore my former peak, it is fundamentally impossible to seek the Golden Core; I would still be nothing but withered bones in a grave.”

“There is hope, Patriarch.”

Lu Yang pointed to the [Myriad Spirits Banner] behind him. “With the Patriarch’s natural talent, if you can take the prototype of the [Dao Fruit] inside for your own use, wouldn’t there be hope?”

As these words came out, Patriarch Nether Whisper was instantly stunned.

He had never thought about the prototype of the [Dao Fruit] inside the [Myriad Spirits Banner] because, in his view, that was undoubtedly the trump card prepared by Lu Yang for his own [Seeking Golden Core].

But now, he wanted to give it to him?

“…No.”

Patriarch Nether Whisper shook his head immediately. “A Golden Position is hard to seek. This prototype of a [Dao Fruit] is very important to you. If I use it, it will be detrimental to your Dao path.”

Hearing this, Lu Yang waved his hand. “My mind is made up; no need to say more. Patriarch, you also know that it is very difficult for me to reach the step of [Seeking Golden Core] within fifty years. But you, Patriarch, have hope. Wait for you to break through first, and then come to protect me in my [Seeking Golden Core]. This is the method to maximize benefits.”

“After all, we still have to revive the Shaman Ghost Dao, don’t we?”

Speaking up to here, a bright smile appeared on Lu Yang’s face. “Given time, wouldn’t it be satisfying for the Patriarch to personally slay that old ghost of the Ye Family?”

“This…”

Patriarch Nether Whisper held his breath instantly upon hearing this. Protecting someone to break through to the Golden Core first, and then letting him protect oneself—what immense trust was this?

Unheard of!

Even among biological brothers, master and disciples, or father and son, if a Golden Core Dao path was placed before them, how could they give it up? Not fighting until heads were broken and blood flowed would already be good!

Thinking of this, Patriarch Nether Whisper was truly moved.

“…Good.” His expression was solemn, and he performed an ancient bow to Lu Yang. “I promise you, if I achieve the Golden Core, I will definitely do my utmost to help you break through.”

“Patriarch is too polite.”

Lu Yang still performed the disciple’s etiquette, providing full emotional value. “This younger generation disciple only hopes the Patriarch can achieve something and bring glory to my Shaman Ghost Dao in the future.”

Actually, it was useless even if Patriarch Nether Whisper didn’t promise.

After all, for a Banner Spirit baptized by [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes], Lu Yang had absolute control. Even if Patriarch Nether Whisper succeeded in [Seeking Golden Core], he couldn’t break free.

But there was no need to say this out loud.

It would hurt his feelings.

Although I might not be able to seek the Golden Core in this life, if the Patriarch succeeds, it’s not a loss. When the time comes to restart with a Golden Core, wouldn’t I be walking unhindered?

Of course, that was still too far away now.

The wear and tear of living aimlessly for a thousand years was simply too huge for Patriarch Nether Whisper. Even after recovering somewhat by absorbing the original body, it was still impossible to fill this hole.

Even if resurrected, the Patriarch can’t ascend to the sky in one step and return to Foundation Establishment Perfection. Instead, he has to start again from the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, restoring his former Innate Divine Abilities step by step. However, with the Patriarch’s aptitude and talent, plus my help, fifty years should be enough to achieve it.

The urgent task was to resurrect first!

Lu Yang had a plan for this long ago. To condense an Immortal Fetus, at least a Superior Grade Spirit Treasure was needed. And wasn’t there a target right now?

Above [Skull Mountain], thousands of illusory colors blended into one.

The blood energy originally belonging to the [Divine Martial Sect] Sect Master, blazing and fierce like the rising sun, now only had a little flame left, liable to extinguish at any moment.

Undeniably, the [Divine Martial Sect] had some skills.

The [Divine Martial Sect] Sect Master’s combat power might not be strong at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, but his blood energy was abundant like the sea, making him very durable. He had been beaten for half an hour and still wasn’t dead.

Of course, this was also because the Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator Xiang Ye didn’t truly attack. He was mostly suppressing the [Divine Martial Sect] Sect Master while calming the spiritual opportunities and wearing down the aftershocks of the battle to avoid damaging the eight-hundred-li [Skull Mountain] below, which could trigger the collapse of earth veins and provoke heavenly punishment.

Boom!

Hearing one last loud noise, layers of illusory colors obscured the sky and sun, suppressing an old man with beard and hair bristling in anger, holding a gleaming large axe in his hand.

This was the supreme treasure of the [Divine Martial Sect].

[Divine Martial Flood Dragon Axe]!

This Superior Grade Spirit Treasure governed slaughter. At this moment, it had already been pushed to the extreme by the [Divine Martial Sect] Sect Master. The flood dragon on the axe seemed to have completely turned into a living creature.

Looking at the momentum, the old man was still majestic.

However, his back gradually hunched over. With disheveled hair and eyes full of despair, he seemed to want to take a step, but suddenly staggered.

In the next second, he suddenly let out a long howl while weeping blood—

“The [Divine Martial Sect] is finished!”

The heart-wrenching voice resounded boomingly. This was the last trace left by the [Divine Martial Sect] in this world, yet it was ruthlessly covered up.

“Hahaha!”

“I should have known this day would come… back when I followed the Sword Pavilion’s immortal decree to establish the sect here, I should have understood that sooner or later there would be such a day…”

The [Divine Martial Sect] Sect Master’s voice stopped abruptly.

Before his voice fell, he had already struck out with the axe!

Instantly, amidst dragon roars and tiger howls, the axe split the sky, actually cutting open the curtain formed by [Hidden Stellar Radiance], speeding towards the direction of the Northern Frontier.

“Hm?”

Seeing this scene, above the vault of the sky, a youth in black robes suddenly raised his eyebrows. Looking down below, he revealed a trace of doubt:

“…Hong Ju?”

He knew the [Divine Martial Sect] Sect Master’s level better than anyone. It was impossible for him to split open his Divine Ability. Did he really think there were miracles of explosive power in this world?

If there were, it must be someone playing tricks behind the scenes!

And thinking it over, Xiang Ye felt only Hong Ju, a fellow Great Perfected One at Foundation Establishment Perfection, could have acted in secret. But what was the reason for doing so?

The [Divine Martial Sect] Sect Master himself didn’t escape.

What escaped was merely the Superior Grade Spirit Treasure [Divine Martial Flood Dragon Axe], and it fled towards the [Divine Martial Sect]’s mountain gate. It was still a turtle in a jar…

“…Not good!”

In the next second, Xiang Ye seemed to think of something, and his expression changed suddenly. Then, mustering his Divine Ability, he gazed towards the [Divine Martial Sect] from afar with all his might.

He saw that in the distant Northern Frontier, inside the [Divine Martial Sect].

The destiny and merit originally soaring into the clouds belonging to the [Divine Martial Sect] had been plundered clean at this moment. The treasury originally filled with spiritual materials was now empty enough for rats to run around.

“Bastard… dare to intercept my winnings!?”

Xiang Ye was instantly furious. He never expected someone would dare to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth. While he was dealing with the [Divine Martial Sect]’s Perfected One here, that person went to raid their lair!

Immediately after, an axe light fell into the [Divine Martial Sect].

It was unmistakably the [Divine Martial Sect]’s Superior Grade Spirit Treasure [Divine Martial Flood Dragon Axe]. Lu Yang reached out and beckoned, easily collecting it, then smiled faintly at Xiang Ye.

“Seeking death!”

Xiang Ye was about to attack immediately. Just then, a patch of Divine Ability brilliance cut off his line of sight, and Lu Yang’s figure took the opportunity to vanish from the spot.

“Hong Ju, it really is you!”

Xiang Ye instantly raised his eyebrows. In the center of the Divine Ability brilliance, Hong Ju stood with hands bound, his bright yellow eyes like lamp flames meeting his gaze with a hint of bitterness.

“Mission accomplished!”

Lu Yang flew all the way, using [Tribulation Wave] to sever karma. As for the aftermath, it was naturally left to Hong Ju. Just right for him to take the blame!
