Chapter 298: Chapter 175: Spirit Plant·Previous Life Biluo

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Gu Shanhai asked the massive mountain ghost’s grudge.

The existence of the Mountain Ghosts’ Grudge was very special. Previously, because it had the three lifetimes, it possessed the ability to be immortal and indestructible. It was for this reason that it could withstand the dual assault of the Iron Bull and the Red Rabbit, although the outcome was quite tragic.

But now, this life had been crushed and taken away by White Cloud, leaving this world. With the formidable power of "The First Epoch," the connection was forcibly severed, turning Yu Niang into an independent entity, causing the Mountain Ghosts’ Grudge to completely lose its undying capability.

Now on the brink of death, it hung by a thread.

"Destroy the Xuanwei Sect completely!" said the Mountain Ghosts’ Grudge, filled with hatred, "You’ve taken her place, and you must bear this karmic consequence."

"Is that all?" Gu Shanhai asked again.

"It’s... gone." The form of the Mountain Ghosts’ Grudge dimmed. It had intended to ask about Black Tiger’s situation, but in the end, it didn’t voice the question, knowing that it was already too late.

As death neared, the rationale that had been clouded by resentment gradually returned, revealing a more humane nature.

"I shall lend you a hand," the Mountain Ghosts’ Grudge spoke solemnly, not because it believed in Gu Shanhai, but because it believed in karma. With such a major karmic burden placed upon him, even if Gu Shanhai did not seek it out, the mysterious forces would lead him down this path.

Ever since Gu Shanhai replaced Yue Niang and became Yu Niang’s next life, he had accepted the karma. The replacement was quite simple: it needed the cooperation of Yue Niang with the pages of the Time History Book.

He had done this, of course, to obtain these three lifetimes and to resolve the karma. Matters of karma are profoundly mysterious, and evasion is useless, so he intended to make a bold move.

The only ones he had karmic ties with were the Xuanwei Sect. He had stolen their Cultivation Technique, and right or wrong, killing more would be problematic. But now he had taken on the Mountain Ghost’s karma, shifting from the accused to the plaintiff, giving him a proper reason to eradicate them—in a way where he could escape afterward.

The body of the Mountain Ghosts’ Grudge continued to burn, and the entire Qingxian Town crumbled in the inferno.

In the end, everything turned into a seed.

"Ah, the previous life, how truly peculiar."

This previous life’s name was Biluo, also known as Nü Luo, which was the vine plant that adorned the Mountain Ghost.

Of course, Biluo was only a manifestation; it was actually the past life within the three lifetimes.

"I wonder if this thing could actually be cultivated." Gu Shanhai pondered this matter as the seed seemed to be a plant but actually was not at all.

As for that painting, it was gone. After Qingxian Town vanished, the painting was destroyed along with it. That painting was at the core of the initial ritual.

However, Gu Shanhai’s reward was substantial. With the Previous Life Biluo, he could now connect to his own past life, meaning the life he had before the mountain ghost, before his rebirth.

By utilizing the Previous Life Biluo to engage the True Spirit, he would be able to temporarily replicate a fraction of his past life’s power—probably enough to explode this world, though his body might not withstand it.

Thus, it was more of a deterrent like a nuclear weapon, not something to actually use.

He’d be dead if he did set it off.

"Let’s try to cultivate a bit; if it can germinate into a Spirit Plant, then the effect is likely related to karmic powers," Gu Shanhai began his attempts, though it wasn’t a real plant, having plant-like characteristics made it even better.

"Besides eradicating the Xuanwei Sect, it would be even better if I could retrieve the Mountain God’s deity status. Well, better not think about that; if I take it, I won’t be able to leave."

In truth, if one were to calculate, the Previous Life Biluo could still be enhanced further. If he could acquire the original Mountain God status that the Mountain Ghost possessed, then in an instant, Gu Shanhai could have the combined strength of the Mountain Ghosts’ Grudge and the thousand-year Black Tiger, making it no problem to dominate a region or even rule this world.

But accordingly, he wouldn’t be able to leave.

"Eh, this actually does have plant-like characteristics?" Gu Shanhai was somewhat surprised; he really didn’t expect it to work.

As the Previous Life Biluo took root and was refined, Gu Shanhai felt a pull, a natural attraction to the deity status of the Mountain God in Fengtai Village, which he decisively cut off.

He didn’t care for such a thing. Ascending in a single step was great, but his aspirations weren’t just heaven; he aimed even higher. Pausing because of this would be akin to death.

"Then I’ll turn it into a robe," Gu Shanhai decided, not letting the Previous Life Biluo remain in the germinated seed state but allowing it to grow into a verdant green robe.

"To be outside the Three Realms, not within the Five Elements?"

"This power is a bit outrageous."

When wearing the Previous Life Biluo, Gu Shanhai’s state would be of his former life, not his current one. This meant that abilities like celestial calculations, Prophetic Divination, and the like would fail to connect with him, effectively making anyone seeking Gu Shanhai find only a completely unrelated deceased individual.

At first glance, it might seem of little use, but paired with the pages of the Time History Book, there would be no problem.

As long as he obtained an identity within a world, and with his former life in place, he could very smoothly disguise himself as a native with his own history, without worrying about the probing from mighty beings who could predict and divine.

In addition to that, there were abilities to hide one’s true strength and conceal presence, considered to be secondary powers of the Previous Life Biluo.

Gu Shanhai also attempted to use plant forging to enhance the green robe formed from the Previous Life Biluo, turning it into a powerful associated magic treasure.
