Chapter 241: With the Immortal Lord's Corpse, Sow a World!
Watching the figure gradually fade in the light of the Divine Descent Technique, Fang Xu frowned slightly.
This mysterious pincher strong person who has helped me many times, regardless of clothing or appearance, even feeling-wise, was very much like a Chinese person from my past life.
What on earth is going on?
Also, the vague name shouted by Gu Yu Xi when using the Divine Descent Technique just now.
"Bone Senior."
Fang Xu approached Gu Yu Xi, glanced at the now completely sealed void rift, and asked: "What is that senior's name?"
Gu Yu Xi shook his head without speaking.
Fang Xu was puzzled.
Gu Yu Xi smiled and said: "That senior has his own plans; you need not ask further."
"Let's go; we need to quickly fish out Wave Cloud Immortal Lord's corpse."
Wave Cloud Immortal Lord is an Immortal Lord–level powerhouse.
Although they weren't sure what rank an Immortal Lord held among the Immortal race, Wave Cloud Immortal Lord's corpse was absolutely a rare treasure.
If his corpse were left in this sea, in a few years this place would likely give rise to a great horror.
In the end, it could even affect the entire Heavenly Mystic Realm.
Watching Gu Yu Xi dive headfirst into the sea below, Fang Xu knew Gu Yu Xi's unwillingness to reveal that powerhouse's name must have been ordered by that powerhouse.
Not letting Gu Yu Xi tell himself.
Wearing a twelve‑beaded imperial crown, clad in a dark gold‑patterned imperial robe, with a bronze sword at his waist……
After careful recollection, Fang Xu actually had a rough guess of the other's identity.
He simply dared not believe his own guess.
After all, that emperor of all ages had already fallen over two thousand years ago in his previous life, and his tomb had been discovered.
He shook his head, suppressed the suspicion in his heart, and Fang Xu also dove into the sea to help Gu Yu Xi search for Wave Cloud Immortal Lord's corpse.
The two searched in the water for a moment and soon found Wave Cloud Immortal Lord's corpse.
Bringing the corpse to the surface, Gu Yu Xi examined it.
"Both soul and spirit are extinguished; he is definitely dead."
"But this fleshly body is too strong."
Fang Xu nodded.
Even bereft of all vitality, Wave Cloud Immortal Lord's corpse still emitted a chilling aura.
This aura greatly suppressed the circulation of qi and blood in both of their bodies.
"Bone Senior, we can bring this back for thorough study."
Wave Cloud Immortal Lord is of the Immortal race, and the Immortal race that intends to devour the Heavenly Mystic Realm's heavenly and earthly will is also of the Immortal race.
Both sides will inevitably have a deathless great war.
This time, obtaining Wave Cloud Immortal Lord's corpse, we should study it thoroughly.
In the future, when facing the Immortal race behind the Heavenly Mystic Realm's will, we will also have an extra chance of victory.
Splash!
Just as Fang Xu's words fell, a rattling of iron chains sounded.
The Funeral Bearer slowly approached, bent over, and looked at the corpse before Fang Xu and Gu Yu Xi.
Then, without saying anything, he directly reached out and lifted Wave Cloud Immortal Lord's corpse.
"Senior……"
Fang Xu hastily shouted.
The Funeral Bearer's voice echoed in his sea of consciousness.
"I will take this corpse."
Fang Xu asked, puzzled: "Why?"
The Funeral Bearer gave no response for a long time.
Just as Fang Xu grew impatient, his voice sounded again.
"When an Immortal Lord falls, all things come to life."
"A single Immortal Lord's corpse is enough to let a dead world be reborn with vitality."
Hearing this, Fang Xu looked somewhat incredulously at the Wave Cloud Immortal Lord's corpse held in the Funeral Bearer's hand.
"Senior, wait a moment!"
Seeing the Funeral Bearer about to send Wave Cloud Immortal Lord's corpse into the World-Burying Coffin, Fang Xu shouted urgently.
The Funeral Bearer froze for a moment.
Fang Xu quickly turned to Gu Yu Xi and said: "The Funeral Bearer senior said, a single Immortal Lord's corpse can let a dead world regain vitality!"
Gu Yu Xi's expression startled, then he looked incredulously at the Funeral Bearer.
If this is true, could the Heavenly Radiant Realm possibly recover by relying on this Immortal Lord's corpse? Meeting his fervent gaze, the Funeral Bearer's expression was empty.
"I have no world origin of the Heavenly Radiant Realm here."
"The origin is the seed; without origin, I am powerless."
Hearing the voice in his sea of consciousness, Gu Yu Xi quickly spoke:
"I have!"
"Senior, I have the origin of the Heavenly Radiant Realm!"
Saying this, he quickly let his divine soul leave its sheath, then floated before the Funeral Bearer.
As his divine soul burst forth with endless gloomy light, within his divine soul also appeared a mass of multicolored chaotic light.
That was exactly a point of the World Origin of the Heavenly Radiance Realm.
Obviously, as a former apostle of the Heavenly Radiance Realm, Gu Yuxi has the World Origin of the Heavenly Radiance Realm present within him.
The Undertaker gazed at the World Origin nestled in Gu Yuxi's soul, fell silent for a moment, and said, "Do you know what consequences taking this clump of World Origin away would bring?"
Gu Yuxi shook his head.
Although he did not know exactly what consequences would follow after the World Origin was taken away.
He could roughly guess that, once the World Origin was taken away, he would either suffer a great loss of strength or, at worst, have his soul scattered and his spirit dissipated.
"Senior, please go ahead and take it out!"
Although he is merely a new soul spawned from Gu Yuxi's corpse, as an apostle of the Heavenly Radiance Realm,
but the mission to reforge the Heavenly Radiance Realm has been deeply imprinted in every cell of his body and within his soul.
At this moment, seeing hope for the reforging of the Heavenly Radiance Realm, he naturally wishes to give everything.
Seeing his persistence, the Undertaker turned his head to look at Fang Xu and informed him of Gu Yuxi's plan and the possible consequences.
Upon hearing this, Fang Xu's expression changed slightly; he hurriedly grabbed Gu Yuxi and said, "Senior Gu, perhaps we should forget about it."
"Once the affairs of the Heavenly Profound Realm are settled, I will personally pilot the Immortal Carved Stone Boat to help you search for the other fragments of the Heavenly Radiance Realm."
Gu Yuxi laughed and shook his head: "Fang Xu, I know you are concerned about me."
"But in the vast void of myriad worlds, we do not know where the other fragments of the Heavenly Radiance Realm have drifted to."
"Moreover, the void is filled with endless dangers; let alone finding the fragments of the Heavenly Radiance Realm, even whether the two of us can survive in the void is a problem."
"I cannot let you embark on an adventure with me."
"Furthermore, I can sense that extracting the World Origin will not cost my life."
"Only, my strength will surely decline then……"
Having said that, he glanced at Fang Xu with a hint of guilt and said, "Perhaps when the great war begins, I will be unable to help you."
He heavily patted Fan Xu's shoulder, then Gu Yuxi slowly floated before the Undertaker; without waiting for him to speak, he directly forcefully extracted the World Origin from his soul! That clump of the Heavenly Radiance Realm's World Origin had merged with his soul and body since the moment he became an apostle.
At this moment, forcibly extracting it was no different from cutting open the abdomen and gouging out the heart!
The intense pain caused Gu Yuxi's soul to tremble violently, as if it might dissipate at any moment.
Seeing this, the Undertaker also slightly shook his head, and his massive finger lightly touched Gu Yuxi's soul.
A dark green energy, brimming with vigorous life, enveloped Gu Yuxi's soul.
Having stabilized his soul, the Undertaker hooked his finger and, with a strange force, extracted that clump of World Origin.
After the World Origin was completely separated from Gu Yuxi's soul, his aura plummeted dramatically. Fang Xu could clearly sense that, at this moment, Gu Yuxi's cultivation realm had fallen to the Divine Connection Realm.
Moreover, the Divine Fire within his body fluttered like windblown fluff, unstable.
Were it not for the dark green energy, rich with life, that the Undertaker unleashed continually nourishing his soul and body,
whether Gu Yuxi could survive would remain unknown.
Having absorbed copious amounts of that life-rich energy, Gu Yuxi forcibly gathered his soul back into his body, his face pallid as he said to the Undertaker, "From now on, I will trouble you, Senior."
The Undertaker said nothing.
Two fingers gently pinched the weak clump of World Origin and slowly approached the corpse of Bo Yun Immortal Lord.
When the World Origin reached the corpse of Bo Yun Immortal Lord, it directly burrowed inside.
Boom! The corpse of Bo Yun Immortal Lord suddenly burst forth with a dazzling beam of light.
"It is done; in a thousand years, a nascent form of the new Heavenly Radiance Realm will evolve within this Immortal Lord's corpse."
"In ten thousand years, a complete Heavenly Radiance Realm will be born."
Having said that, the Undertaker returned the corpse of Bo Yun Immortal Lord to Fang Xu.
"Senior, I still have one request."
Gu Yuxi, forcing his weakened body to speak, said.
"Speak."
The Undertaker glanced at him.
After turning his head to look at Fang Xu, Gu Yuxi then said, "If we absorb the Heavenly Radiance Realm fragment from the Death Sand Sea, could it accelerate the formation of the new Heavenly Radiance Realm?"
The Undertaker nodded: "Indeed, it can."
"That fragment is also derived from the Heavenly Radiance Realm's Origin; absorbing it will indeed hasten the growth of the new Heavenly Radiance Realm."
Gu Yuxi nodded and then said, "Then please, Senior, leave a portion of Bo Yun Immortal Lord's corpse with me."
"Then absorb the Heavenly Radiance Realm fragment from the Death Sand Sea."
He knew who the enemy Fang Xu would face was.
He also knew how important the corpse of Bo Yun Immortal Lord was to Fang Xu.
But now, the corpse of Bo Yun Immortal Lord is being used to cultivate the Heavenly Radiance Realm, and he feels guilty.
He then thought of exchanging the Death Sand Sea's Heavenly Radiance Realm fragment for a portion of Bo Yun Immortal Lord's corpse, so that Fang Xu could properly study the Immortal Clan.
The Undertaker gave a slight nod.
Gu Yuxi's choice made him feel relieved.
Initially he still thought that Gu Yuxi, in the face of restoring the Heavenly Radiance Realm, would disregard Fang Xu's safety.
Now it seems he was mistaken.
Whoosh! A dim gray light flashed, and the Undertaker directly severed both arms of Bo Yun Immortal Lord's corpse.
"Exchanging one fragment for two arms will not affect the birth speed of the new Heavenly Radiance Realm."
"Leave the arms with you; I will take the remaining corpse on a trip to the Death Sand Sea."
Having said that, the Undertaker reached out and took away the corpse of Bo Yun Immortal Lord.
Seeing this, Fang Xu hurriedly had the Chu Ren Di on the Immortal Carved Stone Boat follow the Undertaker on a trip to the Death Sand Sea.
Among the fragments of the Tianhuang Realm, many Divine Temple disciples still live.
Only with proper arrangements can the funeral bearer act.
On the Immortal Carved Stone Boat.
Gu Yuxi looked at Fang Xu, weakly bowed and said, "Fang Xu, I'm sorry."
Fang Xu quickly helped him up and said, "Senior, what are you doing?"
Gu Yuxi said somewhat embarrassedly, "A complete Immortal Lord's corpse would be of great use to you."
"But for the Tianhuang Realm..."
Looking at the only two arms left before him, Gu Yuxi didn't know what to say.
"It's fine." Fang Xu smiled faintly, picked up one of the arms and examined it, then said, "At first, I truly lacked confidence to oppose the will of the entire Tianxuan Realm."
"And I even feared the Immortal behind it."
"But now..." Fang Xu raised the arm in his hand, smiled faintly, and said, "They can also be killed."
"The Void Emperor senior could do it, and I will surely be able to do it in the future."
"Senior Gu, you should go rest now."
The most important world origin in the soul was severed, which for Gu Yuxi is a heavy blow.
If the current injury is not properly stabilized, there is a high chance of realm regression, or even soul shattering, occurring in the future.
Gu Yuxi bowed again, then staggered toward another direction of the cabin.
Seeing him off, Fang Xu picked up the two arms of the Bo Yun Immortal Lord, examined them for a moment, then found a secluded room to prepare for closed-door cultivation.
The stone door slowly fell; Fang Xu placed one arm before him, pondered for a moment, took out a sharp long sword, intending to cut it open.
But the funeral bearer had easily severed the Bo Yun Immortal Lord's arm earlier, whereas he could not.
The long sword struck the Bo Yun Immortal Lord's arm, leaving not even a mark.
Fang Xu tried other methods in disbelief, but found he still could not damage the Bo Yun Immortal Lord's arm.
How to torment this hardness!? Sweating profusely from the torment, Fang Xu felt somewhat disheartened.
Know that the Immortal clan powerhouse who devoured the will of the Tianxuan Realm is, in strength, certainly not inferior to the Bo Yun Immortal Lord.
This Bo Yun Immortal Lord was first trapped by a mysterious great ability on Cloud Immortal Island for who knows how many years, with his strength less than one percent of his full power.
Later, the Void Emperor erased his soul, turning him into a corpse.
Finally, the funeral bearer cut off his arm.
Just like that, I can't even break his arm—how will I face an Immortal clan powerhouse who knows how many times stronger in the future? There must be a way!
Fang Xu calmed down and continued to think of countermeasures.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind; he immediately summoned the Divine Servant Gu Worms within his body.
These little cuties have been with me since the beginning.
Along the way, they have devoured countless miraculous things.
They have the bloodline of the Xieyu King that feeds on dragons, as well as mysterious demonic beasts from the aperture-hole world, plus various ferocious beasts and mysterious toxins……
They have long since evolved to an unknown realm.
Since I cannot deal with the Bo Yun Immortal Lord's arm, perhaps the Divine Servant Gu Worms can.
After summoning the Divine Servant Gu Worms, Fang Xu directly ordered them to find a way to handle this arm.
A large number of Divine Servant Gu Worms received the order and immediately swarmed to wrap the Bo Yun Immortal Lord's arm.
Fang Xu's gaze fixed firmly on the Divine Servant Gu Worms.
He saw a group of little cuties opening their sharp teeth, vigorously tearing at the flesh on the arm.
But the Bo Yun Immortal Lord's arm is simply too hard.
The Divine Servant Gu Worms' invariably sharp teeth, each tear, could only leave shallow wounds.
Fortunately, even though the wounds are shallow, they are still effective.
As long as we spend some time, we should be able to gradually grind away the arm's flesh.
Without disturbing the Divine Servant Gu Worms as they ate, Fang Xu left the secluded room, intending to check on Qi Shaoyu's condition.
She, who had been controlled by the Bo Yun Immortal Lord, was later knocked unconscious by Gu Yuxi, and now her exact condition is unknown.
Inside the Immortal Carved Stone Boat, Fang Xu went to the room where Qi Shaoyu was staying and found several Divine Temple disciples guarding the door.
Seeing Fang Xu, they hurriedly bowed and said, "Palace Master!"
Fang Xu nodded and asked, "How is the Fifth Elder now?"
They turned to look, their expressions somewhat dim, and said, "Not yet awake."
In this campaign to exterminate the Great Expansion Sect, the Dark Divine Temple suffered considerable losses.
Qi Shaoyu and Chu Ren Di led the ten thousand troops they brought to launch a forcible assault on the island; ultimately, when facing Chaos, nearly the entire army was wiped out, with only a thousand surviving.
And Qi Shaoyu herself is now of unknown life or death. (End of chapter)
