248: Chapter 246: Black Water Heaven, Dharma Corpse Fusion

Xu Qingshan stared at the cloud-patterned compass in front of him, squinting as he said, "The Haoyang Realm has large teleportation arrays in the four cardinal directions, capable of teleporting to other realms. I don't think they intend to stay in the Haoyang Realm; they're probably trying to gather in other realms."

Gu Shengge was astonished by these words. He truly hadn't expected these people to be so decisive, leaving the Haoyang Realm even before he had done anything there.

Moreover, that Duan Wuya was the Realm Master of the Haoyang Realm, yet he left without any resistance, which was truly unexpected.

At this moment, under Gu Shengge's stunned gaze, the light spot on the cloud-patterned compass flickered a few times before completely disappearing, making it impossible to track. This situation could only mean one thing: they had left the Haoyang Realm.

Seeing this, Xu Qingshan quickly said, "Dao Child, don't panic. Anyone wanting to leave the Haoyang Realm via a teleportation array must register, so their destination cannot be concealed."

Gu Shengge's expression eased slightly. Under Xu Qingshan's enthusiastic invitation, he entered the Haoyang Heavenly Sect.

It must be said, these people were truly skilled at self-preservation. After the Sect, from top to bottom, confirmed their surrender to the Qiankun Taoist Sect, not a single person dared to cause trouble.

Later, Gu Shengge received the coordinates of the Cultivators' departure; they had gone to the Blackwater Heavenly Realm.

This world was one of the top three realms in the Nine Realms Alliance, and also the most steadfast supporter of the plan to invade the Qiongsang Domain.

At the same time, the Realm Master of the Blackwater Heavenly Realm, Baqi Jiaolong, was also a Hedao Realm powerhouse. Rumor had it that among all the Realm Masters, only two could suppress him.

Seeing Gu Shengge eager to try, Xu Qingshan quickly said, "Gu Dao Child, that Baqi Jiaolong, plus our former Realm Master of the Haoyang Realm, and possibly even a Mo Jie, it's too dangerous. You really shouldn't go!"

Gu Shengge refused, but Jun Mengqing and Pei Yuhan certainly couldn't go with him.

The two also vehemently objected, insisting that either he take them along or he couldn't go.

However, they couldn't change Gu Shengge's mind. Ultimately, Gu Shengge promised to carry a projection crystal on him to project the sights along the way, at least allowing the two of them to see. Only then did they let Gu Shengge go.

Moreover, they also made a request: when encountering insurmountable danger, Gu Shengge must avoid it and not knowingly do the impossible.

Gu Shengge agreed, but the two still sighed. There was no helping it; this was actually just their compromise.

How could Gu Shengge listen to them? They couldn't change Gu Shengge's mind, and ultimately, how he acted would always be Gu Shengge's decision. They couldn't change anything.

Gu Shengge set off for the Blackwater Heavenly Realm the next day, while the people of the Qiankun Taoist Sect also contacted the Cultivators of the Haoyang Realm, opened the World Gate, and then sent people to incorporate the Haoyang Realm.

The Qiankun Taoist Sect's successive occupation of two realms caused a huge stir in the Qiongsang Domain, and many Sects and Imperial Dynasties had already lodged protests.

They believed that resisting the Corpse and the Nine Realms Alliance was a matter for the entire Qiongsang Domain. Since the Qiankun Alliance was created at that time, it should act like an Alliance, and the division of the Nine Realms Alliance territories must include all major Sects.

In response, Emperor Yang Mu Qianyang had only one answer: the Qiankun Taoist Sect would provide the world coordinates, and whoever wanted a Nine Realms Alliance realm could send people to occupy and incorporate it themselves.

Suddenly, everyone fell silent. Although the Corpse had been destroyed by Gu Shengge, there were still Realm Masters of the Nine Realms Alliance in those realm strongholds!

That was the Nine Realms Alliance's main base. They could handle Void Refining Realm Masters, but if a Hedao Realm Master appeared, they simply couldn't cope!

After some consideration, they continued to argue with Mu Qianyang, wanting a share of the territory taken over by the Qiankun Taoist Sect.

As a result, this time, Tantai Qingxuan directly appeared. The might of the Hedao Realm swept through the Qiankun Taoist Sect, and heavy snow fell for several days without stopping.

Tantai Qingxuan specifically issued an imperial decree: the realms subdued by Gu Shengge belonged to the Qiankun Taoist Sect, to be governed by Mu Qianyang. When Mu Qianyang died, Gu Shengge would succeed him and govern them.

Upon the issuance of this decree, not only were those Sects and Imperial Dynasties bewildered, but even Mu Qianyang himself was stunned. He wasn't dead yet! How could his post-mortem affairs be so clearly arranged?

Moreover, Tantai Qingxuan was just a Peak Master! How could she even arrange things for him, the Emperor Yang Sect Master... However, the other Sects and Imperial Dynasties indeed stopped bothering him, and he was happy to be idle, so he didn't concern himself with it.

The Blackwater Heavenly Realm had very little land area; most of it was black ocean with towering waves.

The black seawater surged, seeming to dye the heavens and earth black. The entire world was dim and oppressive, devoid of any living beings, and everywhere was filled with Death Qi.

The grey-robed Cultivator carrying the stone coffin arrived on a small island. Immediately after, other Cultivators who had taken Mo Jie's Divine Soul also arrived from various places. After they converged, they immediately restored the Divine Soul.

Mo Jie's Divine Soul reassembled, his consciousness recovered, and his Soul Light shone.

Seeing this, the grey-robed Old Man's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. He formed a hand seal and struck it into the four Cultivators who had arrived.

"Bang bang bang!"

Their bodies exploded, their Divine Souls collapsed, and all of them merged into Mo Jie's body.

Mo Jie's Divine Soul, originally ethereal like a flickering candle in the wind, now seemed to have been fueled, suddenly solidifying and emitting scorching heat.

He absorbed all the Qi and Divine Soul energy, stabilizing his form once again.

Seeing this, the grey-robed Cultivator frowned and asked, "Senior Mo Jie, why are you still unable to condense a Physical Body?"

Mo Jie said in a deep voice, "It's all because of that Gu Shengge. He planted tens of thousands of Restrictions on this Senior's Divine Soul. This Senior cannot break these Restrictions now, so naturally, I cannot condense a Physical Body."

As he spoke, his Soul Light fell upon the stone coffin, and he asked in surprise, "Has Duan Wuya been living inside this all these years?"

The grey-robed Cultivator respectfully replied, "Yes, Old Ancestor has forcibly prolonged his life until now by relying on the Primordial Stone Coffin and the Power Of Faith of the Haoyang Realm. He is already at the end of his rope. If there are no other methods, he can at most live for three more months."

Mo Jie's Divine Soul flickered, his expression complex: "Old friend, are you willing to... become a Corpse?"

A sound came from within the stone coffin. A moment later, the coffin lid opened, and an aged body floated out. Compared to Mo Jie's Soul Light, this living Old Man looked more like a vengeful spirit.

"Mo Jie, to be able to see you again in this lifetime, I have no regrets!"

Mo Jie's Soul Light also flickered, his emotions greatly agitated.

"Are you willing to become a Corpse?"

Duan Wuya's expression was complex, and he said bitterly, "Given this Senior's current state, does it matter whether I am a Corpse or a Cultivator? Only three months are left. Even with the method to refine a Corpse, I cannot become one now."
