Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Chapter 1196 - 1062: Spirit Body Collapse (2)

"It was so close just now! I thought this time on the adventure, we were all going to meet a tragic end here!"A martial artist cried tears of joy, finding the experiences of these past days nearly unbearable.

"Don't be too happy just yet; we haven't escaped danger!"

Senior Xuan was far from rejoicing, knowing that their current presence inside the Black Hole World meant they were about to encounter many Exotic Realm Creatures.

He moved his mind and landed the disc on the ground.

Then he retracted the disc and released the first Flying Treasure gourd for Duan Gujin and the others to ride.

They promptly settled back onto the gourd, and under Senior Xuan's guidance, they proceeded forward.

"Our task now is to leave this haunted place! It's too eerie here!"

Recalling the encounters of this expedition, Senior Xuan felt exceptionally frustrated. This time, they had adventured into the Nine Phase World, unintentionally releasing a Taigu Mu Person trapped inside for ages.

Senior Xuan racked his brains for a long time but couldn't figure out a solution.

Meanwhile, within the Secret Realm of the Nine Phase World, beneath the ancient well, lay a vast grotto network, inside which was a towering giant.

The giant resembled a mummy, entirely black as ink, with no flesh on him.

That mummy's age was unknown, thus emitting no odor.

There was a giant eye on the mummy's belly.

If Duan Gujin and the others were present, they would undoubtedly recognize that eye as belonging to the Taigu Mu Person.

Indeed, the body's true identity was the Taigu Mu Person.

Previously sealed underground, his entire body was secured by powerful Immortal Talismans, rendering him immobile.

However, those strong Immortal Talismans couldn't entirely destroy the Taigu Mu Person's eye.

Therefore, the Taigu Mu Person shifted his entire cultivation into the eye, finally transferring it into his belly.

Ultimately, the Taigu Mu Person saved his own life, as his eye wasn't destroyed.

To the Taigu Mu Person, as long as his eye wasn't completely destroyed, it meant he wouldn't die.

At that moment, black gases started exuding from the corpse, quickly absorbed by the Taigu Mu Person.

The black gases weren't from the mummy itself but from the corpses formerly deceased in the Secret Realm.

The ancient well used to connect with the belly, and once the clan members jumped into the well, it signified handing over their Life Essence to him.

Over many years, the Life Essence within his body amassed, gradually reaching a qualitative change.

However, to escape the sealing, an essential condition was required—someone capable of breaking the Sealing Array.

At that time, he had no idea how to break the Sealing Array, so he sought out the ancestor of the Wushan Clan Leader, deceiving them by saying he was sealed there, urging them to find help from Immortal Domain Immortals.

The Taigu Mu Person knew that expecting Wushan Clan Leader's ancestors to find Immortal Domain Immortals in the Nine Phase World was incredibly challenging.

Yet, at this point, he had no choice, courageously forging onward.

Luckily, he didn't know how many ages he had been sealed, and finally succeeded.

By the time it reached the generation of the Wushan Clan Leader, he ultimately invited an Immortal Domain Immortal here, successfully unlocking the seal on him.

"Shiling, as long as you're still alive, I'll surely take my revenge!"

Though the Taigu Mu Person hadn't fully regained his strength, he believed just a bit more recovery would restore much of his power.

However, he felt unsure of the extent of his recovery.

On another front, the Taigu Mu Person sensed many Exotic Realm Creatures nearby; instead of fleeing like Duan Gujin and the others, he released powerful black mists to trap them, devouring them whenever possible.

Though these Exotic Realm Creatures were strong, once inside his black mist, they would lose consciousness entirely, controlled by the Taigu Mu Person's Divine Soul, eventually willingly consumed by him.

Conversely, Senior Xuan swiftly led Duan Gujin and others out of the Black Hole World.

Despite numerous encounters with Exotic Realm Creatures on the way.

All were blocked by Senior Xuan, who paved a bloody path through their encirclement.

"We must rush through quickly, as my Spirit Body can't hold much longer!"

Suddenly, Senior Xuan spoke.

"Senior, don't scare us!"

Hearing Senior Xuan's words, several martial artists nearly cried.

They knew that in this team, only Senior Xuan was the strongest. If his Spirit Body couldn't withstand it, they'd be trapped in the Black Hole World.

"Senior Xuan, what's wrong with your Spirit Body?"

Duan Gujin asked.

"My Body consumed too much Primordial Power before; I thought I could withstand it, but ultimately, I still can't hold on—I'm almost done!"

Senior Xuan realized his Spirit Body felt like it was collapsing. Reflecting on past encounters, he suspected it was due to inadequately controlling the explosive force of his Spirit Body when breaking through the Space Crystal Wall, causing its disintegration.

"Senior Xuan, please teach me the method to control this gourd!"

Duan Gujin quickly requested.

"Alright! I'll teach each of you!"

Senior Xuan said, using his Divine Sense to inspect his body, aware of countless cracks on his Spirit Body.

The cracks had spread throughout his body, meaning if faced with strong foes again, his body would entirely disintegrate.

Even if his body wouldn't collapse immediately, the cracks filled his Spirit Body, emitting Spiritual Energy, affirming its impending collapse.

His primary concern was failing to lead Duan Gujin and others swiftly out of the Black Hole World.

If his Spirit Body disintegrated now, he'd vanish like smoke on the ground.

But if Duan Gujin and the others hadn't reached safety, they'd remain trapped in the dangerous Black Hole World.

Thus, Senior Xuan was eager to teach Duan Gujin and others how to control the gourd.

Once his Spirit Body collapsed, Duan Gujin and the others could operate the gourd and continue onward.

Senior Xuan clearly understood that only Duan Gujin and Shi Potian among them had distinct identities, while other Divine World Martial Artists were simply ordinary martial artists without Immortal Domain backgrounds.

Senior Xuan speculated that if he taught controlling the gourd to present Divine World Martial Artists, Duan Gujin and Shi Potian could grasp it quickest.

So, he immediately imparted the control of the gourd through Divine Thought to Duan Gujin and others.

Receiving Senior Xuan's transmitted Divine Thought, Duan Gujin practiced momentarily, mastering it skillfully.

Knowing Duan Gujin had proficiently mastered the gourd's control, Senior Xuan let him operate it for flying.

Initially, other martial artists harbored doubts about Duan Gujin.

But after observing his commendable control, their perceptions shifted.

On the other hand, Shi Potian frowned, pondering whether Senior Xuan had discerned his true identity.

Otherwise, he couldn't fathom why Senior Xuan allowed Duan Gujin to operate the gourd instead of himself.

"Duan Gujin, how much do you know about the Immortal Domain?"

Suddenly, Senior Xuan secretly transmitted a message to Duan Gujin.

He replied in kind: "I know quite a lot about the Immortal Domain. Rest assured, if you want your treasures back, I can return them—I'll go back to the Immortal Domain eventually!"

Listening to Duan Gujin's words, Senior Xuan chuckled dryly: "Actually, these treasures aren't particularly useful to me; I could entirely give them to you! I'm merely curious about your identity!"
