The six great resentful spirits found their corpses in the corpse pit and possessed them, gaining overwhelming strength. When they moved, they already made space tremble, what more when they attacked with all their might?
Space ripped in an instant as the six ancient ferocious beasts struck the light barrier around the Heavenly Soul Register.
Crack!
A large crack suddenly appeared in that light barrier, which looked like it would break and expose the Heavenly Soul Register.
Wooo! Wooo! Wooo! Wooo! Wooo!
Just then, many loud cries and moans came from the bottom of the corpse pit.
Whoosh!
A flood of resentful spirits rushed out of the corpse pit, so many they were uncountable. The vast number caused Gu Han’s expression to change when he saw them.
Boom!
Those countless resentful spirits seemed to have been suppressed for ages. Their immense Resentful Energy nearly dyed the entire Corpse Mound World red upon their sudden release.
There were too many—so many that Gu Hai felt horrified. Hundreds of millions? No, there might be billions, tens of billions, perhaps even more.
The resentful spirits rushed out with overwhelming Resentful Energy, but they avoided the six ferocious beasts. Perhaps because the six were kings in ancient times, the resentful spirits instinctively avoided them.
Gu Hai had his Go Dao ritual array, so they also avoided him.
“I understand now! I understand now! The Heavenly Soul Register is here. This is the reason!” Gu Han goggled.
“What do you mean?”
“Besides the eight great resentful spirits, the resentful spirits have been killing each other since ancient times. There have been experts who could kill some too. However, the number of resentful spirits never decreased after so many years. It seemed like no matter how many got destroyed, they would get replenished. I never understood why until now. It turned out that the Heavenly Soul Register was suppressing ninety-nine percent of the resentful spirits at the bottom of the corpse pit, forming a balance. When the number of resentful spirits outside decreased, it would release some,” Gu Han said in shock.
“That is to say, by attacking the Heavenly Soul Register, they are disrupting its suppression over those countless resentful spirits, allowing them to escape?” Gu Hai’s face sank.
“That’s right. What should we do? The resentful spirits in the Corpse Mound World have already increased tenfold in a mere instant!” Gu Han appeared anxious.
Below, the group of black-robed men did not care.
“Hurry! Again! We can get the Heavenly Soul Register after one more time! Quickly! Before the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon comes. Again!” Emperor Kong yelled.
“Yes!”
“Roar!” the six controlled ferocious beasts roared.
Then they charged at the light barrier.
Boom!
A deafening report rang out as the light barrier exploded.
In that instant, the countless energy threads connected to the Heavenly Soul Register vanished. Without the light barrier, the Heavenly Soul Register could no longer control the Corpse Mound World’s laws.
Buzz!
The Heavenly Soul Register flew out.
“Hahaha! The barrier broke! Quickly, retrieve the Heavenly Soul Register!” Emperor Kong guffawed.
“Roar!”
The six ferocious beasts suddenly rushed towards the flying Heavenly Soul Register, poised to capture it.
Boom!
Right then, a pitch-black hand appeared out of nowhere and reached for the Heavenly Soul Register, overtaking the six ferocious beasts at a startling speed.
“What?” The expressions of the black-robed men changed as they raised their heads to look.
To think someone dares to snatch our thing at this moment?
A net of stars now filled the sky, appearing all of a sudden. The stars were so close together that they formed lines, a vast net of stars—no, a super ritual array of stars.
The ritual array manifested the pitch-black palm that grabbed the Heavenly Soul Register.
“A Go Dao ritual array? Gu Hai?” Emperor Kong exclaimed.
Indeed, it was Gu Hai. The instant he saw the Heavenly Soul Register, he did not hesitate to make a move. The Corpse Mound World still had the Go Dao laws. How could he let such a splendid opportunity pass?
Gu Hai had nothing to fear with the Go Dao laws. In this world, he reigned supreme.
He instantly laid a large ritual array and manifested a pitch-black hand to rush down and capture the Heavenly Soul Register.
“Great!” Gu Hai’s eyes lit up. He had obtained it.
However, this was like pulling coals from a fire. How could the black-robed men agree to it?
“Knock it down! We must bring back the Heavenly Soul Register!” Emperor Kong bellowed.
“Roar!”
The six ferocious beasts roared as one. Then they changed targets from the Heavenly Soul Register to the pitch-black hand.
Boom!
The six ferocious beasts tore space as they assaulted the black hand.
The black hand trembled intensely, and the stars in the sky above also shook hard. Gu Hai’s Go Dao ritual array looked like it would shatter.
“With the Go Dao laws around, you want to snatch something from our hands? Humph!” Gu Hai snorted coldly, and his hand moved.
The stars in the sky suddenly flared with piercing light, instantly infusing boundless energy into the black hand; then the fist hammered down.
Boom!
A thunderous report rang out as the corpse pit exploded. The hand had knocked the six ferocious beasts to the bottom nearly instantaneously.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The six ferocious beasts cratered, and the miserable cries of the black-robed men came from their heads.
“Argh!”
“Argh!”
“Argh!”
Judging by the miserable cries, the black hand had won.
Then Gu Hai controlled the black hand to fly back to him. The black hand shrank and slowly placed the Heavenly Soul Register on his palm.
Gu Hai obtained the Heavenly Soul Register.
“Cough! Cough! Cough!” Coughing from severe injuries came from the corpse pit below.
“Gu Hai’s Go Dao ritual array? Controlling the stars in the sky? No, Mister Starless, you can do the same. You can control the power of the stars too. Quickly, snatch the Heavenly Soul Register back. Otherwise, we have no way to give an account to His Holy Eminence!” Emperor Kong called out anxiously.
“Cough! Cough! Cough! No, Lifespan Nangong, bring us away! Bring us away immediately!” another black-robed man said as he coughed blood.
“Mister Starless!” Emperor Kong protested reluctantly.
“Cut the crap. Have you not heard His Holy Eminence describe Gu Hai’s Go Dao? This place has the Go Dao laws! The Go Dao laws! Me clash with him? Are you crazy? We can’t get the Heavenly Soul Register now. However, we have the six great resentful spirits and their corpses. Hurry! Leave quickly! Otherwise, we will lose everything. By then, we truly cannot give His Holy Eminence an account!” Mister Starless yelled.
Buzz!
Nearby, a short, black-robed man swiped his hand down, ripping space. Positive energy came from the tear.
“Let’s go!” Mister Starless roared.
Boom!
Mister Starless controlled a ferocious beast to fly into the spatial tear.
“Humph!” Emperor Kong snorted furiously and could only control the azure dragon corpse to rush over.
Whoosh!
The six ferocious beasts quickly entered the tear, vanishing from the corpse pit.
The countless resentful spirits in the surroundings feared the six ferocious beasts and did not follow. After the six ferocious beasts entered the tear, it was too late for those who wanted to enter, as the tear had already vanished.
In the sky, Gu Hai looked at the Heavenly Soul Register and carefully put it away. He lowered his head to check the group in the corpse pit only after that.
However, the group had already fled into that spatial tear.
The six ferocious beasts and the black-robed men had vanished. That tear had also mended.
The black hole created when the black fist hammered the six ferocious beasts also mended.
“Roar!”
Wooo! Wooo! Wooo!
Coo!
Countless resentful spirits continued rushing out of the bottom of the corpse pit. The world had already been dyed crimson, suffused with overwhelming Resentful Energy that covered the entire Corpse Mound World.
The resentful spirits soared out. Despite the Go Dao ritual array, the Resentful Energy affected Gu Hai’s mind; he felt a little dazed, as if it would influence his character.
“This Resentful Energy is now over tenfold stronger than earlier, even a hundredfold. Han`er, can you endure it?” Gu Hai asked worriedly.
Gu Han looked around, slightly shocked. Then he replied bitterly, “Father, this child did not expect so many resentful spirits to be under the corpse pit. So many died in that ancient battle. This child might not be able to handle it even with the golden body protecting me. Hah…if only this child had the Three Lives Buddhist Conception of the Spirit Mountain Sect; then I might have been able to suppress the Resentful Energy.”
“Three Lives Buddhist Conception?” Gu Hai said, his expression changing slightly.
“Yes. The Past Conception, the Present Conception, and the Future Conception. This child is only sufficient for the Present Conception. As for the others…,” Gu Han said worriedly.
“Previously, Mo Yike came to me, wanting me to bring someone to help you,” Gu Hai said with a frown.
“Oh?”
Gu Hai waved and summoned a figure from the Gu’s Immortal Firmament. It was Qin Zibai.
Qin Zibai came out, holding the Savant Wisdom Divine Cane staff. Then the boundless Resentful Energy attacked his mind.
“How can this be?” Qin Zibai’s expression changed as he quickly activated the Savant Wisdom Divine Cane.
The Savant Wisdom Divine Cane released boundless green light, giving him some relief.
“Qin Zibai salutes Your Reverence!” Qin Zibai saluted respectfully.
“The Future Buddha’s Savant Wisdom Divine Cane?” Gu Han exclaimed in shock.
“Mo Yike is the reincarnation of the Future Buddha who followed you in the past. This is his Savant Wisdom Divine Cane. Before I left, Mo Yike said he had a dream. He dreamed you might need the Savant Wisdom Divine Cane, so he told me to bring Qin Zibai,” Gu Hai explained.
“The Future Buddha’s reincarnation? Ah! I understand now. It turns out Mo Yike was my martial uncle. No wonder the Future Buddha had been quite strange for the past eight hundred thousand years,” Gu Han sighed.
“I used the Go Dao ritual array to manifest the previous-generation Future Buddha eight hundred thousand years ago. You said that Mo Yike was your martial uncle?” Gu Hai said in confusion.
“Yes. When this child established the Spirit Mountain Sect, I brought two people with me. One was my martial uncle, the Future Buddha. He was actually the Dried Lamp Buddha’s junior brother. The other was the Past Buddha; he was my second junior brother,” Gu Han explained.
At the side, Qin Zibai looked slightly startled. He seemed to think of something, then said respectfully, “Lord Mo said he sealed his Future Conception in this Savant Wisdom Divine Cane.”
“The Future Conception? Excellent, I now have the Future Conception and the Present Conception; I just lack the Past Conception. If I have the Three Lives Conception, I can suppress the Corpse Mound World. If only Master Bodhisattva Lian Sheng were here,” Gu Han said worriedly.
Gu Hai’s expression changed. “The Past Conception? I nearly forgot. Bodhisattva Lian Sheng is currently dealing with the Dried Lamp Buddha’s replica.”
“Master?” Gu Han said in shock.
My current life’s master and the replica of my past life’s master are both here?
