Chapter 1824: Chapter 1824: The Secret of Corpse Dao!

At that time, Wang Mang soared alone in the skies above the central region.

Below the azure sky of the central region was an abyssal pit, deep and bottomless.

From afar, it looked like a clear-cut black and white painting.

Wang Mang’s figure rapidly skimmed across the sky of the central region, and in a short while, he reached another edge of the central region.

"There’s no trace left, huh? Well, it has been quite some time."

After looking around, Wang Mang’s body also floated and hovered in place.

His perception branched out instantly in all directions.

Within moments, the scenery of a ten-mile radius had been imprinted in Wang Mang’s mind.

After a few breaths, a flicker of deep light suddenly shone in Wang Mang’s eyes.

No residue of presence left at all?

"This is somewhat troublesome," Wang Mang pondered for a moment before spatial ripples suddenly spread around him.

...

At that time, on the edge of the central region, four people were waiting for a signal from Wang Mang.

And Wang You was still nonchalantly waving the divine sword in his hand.

The next moment, spatial ripples suddenly emanated around Abyss Xuanming.

In an instant, a space crack appeared before them.

For a moment, the three became alert and, almost instinctively, retreated several meters, staring intently at the space crack.

A few breaths later, Wang Mang’s figure emerged from it.

Seeing the newcomer, they all simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fellow Daoist Wang Mang, how is the situation?" Abyss Bai Yang asked aloud.

As the question was raised, the others also cast curious glances at Wang Mang.

According to the original plan, after Wang Mang encountered the Starry Sky Ancient Beast, if the beast intended to harm Wang Mang,

then Wang You would bring Abyss Xuanming to appear in a certain area where Wang Mang was.

Even Wang You, who was always indifferent to everything, turned his gaze to Wang Mang.

Facing their gazes, Wang Mang paused and then spoke slowly, "The Starry Sky Ancient Beast is no longer in the central region."

"I’m not sure exactly where it went."

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions on the three’s faces relaxed somewhat.

Although they all knew they couldn’t stop Wang Mang’s determination to search for the Starry Sky Ancient Beast, at least they were temporarily safe.

Noticing their expressions, Wang Mang quietly transmitted a message to Abyss Bai Yang, "I believe news of the Starry Sky Ancient Beast should arrive soon. Bai Yang, can you contact the outside world?"

"Send a message back to me."

Upon hearing Wang Mang’s words, Abyss Bai Yang quickly replied through a message, "I can."

"But I need to move away from you."

Then, worried that Wang Mang might misunderstand, he quickly added, "The patriarch has already told me that you now have a Crystal Screen exclusively for you to communicate with the audience of the Five Lakes and Four Seas."

"I cannot reveal this situation in front of them."

After receiving Abyss Bai Yang’s reply, Wang Mang nodded slightly and messaged back, "I understand. I need you to inquire within our clan about the whereabouts of the Starry Sky Ancient Beast."

Upon hearing this, Abyss Bai Yang casually glanced at Wang Mang and then slowly nodded.

Wang Mang also caught on immediately and nodded back as a signal.

The next moment, the power of the Decaying Great Dao surged out from his body.

"In no more than the time it takes for three incense sticks to burn!"

As soon as he spoke, the power of the Great Dao around his body suddenly exerted itself, unleashing boundless energy.

Boom!

With a muffled sound, the figure of Abyss Bai Yang abruptly shot into the air.

Seeing this, Liang Qi and Abyss Xuanming were both completely baffled.

The sudden departure of Abyss Bai Yang and his incomprehensible words caught the two completely off guard.

"Eh, what’s going on here?" the puzzled Abyss Xuanming asked.

Liang Qi, curious but without asking further, immediately turned his gaze to Wang Mang.

"He’s got urgent matters, let’s wait for him a bit."

Wang Mang, who wasn’t adept at fabricating lies, casually found an excuse to fend off the question.

As he spoke, he took out a mid-rank Level 7 top-notch divine weapon from his personal belongings.

Observing the divine weapon, shaped like a stick, lying in Wang Mang’s palm, Liang Qi’s eyes instantly glinted with light beams.

"Abyss Xuanming, this divine weapon is very suitable for you," said Wang Mang as he toyed with the weapon in his hand before speaking to Abyss Xuanming.

Upon hearing this, Abyss Xuanming scrutinized the item in Wang Mang’s hand with great care.

It was dark gold in color, with engravings of dragons and phoenixes adorning its head and tail.

Most importantly, there was an inexplicable voice in his heart, constantly screaming.

Don’t accept it.

Rely on yourself.

For a moment, he was somewhat bewildered.

Why did some of Wang Mang’s actions always provoke this strange feeling in his heart?

Noticing Abyss Xuanming’s troubled expression, Wang Mang frowned.

What’s wrong now?

"Abyss Xuanming, what’s the matter? Take it," Wang Mang urged, handing the staff over to him.

But the latter still had a bizarre look on his face and remained motionless.

Seeing this, Wang Mang immediately looked toward Liang Qi at his side.

"Aftereffects?"

Hearing Wang Mang’s query, Liang Qi hastily denied, "Impossible."

"Corpse Dao is not any form of treatment; there shouldn’t be any aftereffects."

Upon hearing this, Wang Mang’s frown deepened further.

Then, what’s going on here?

"Abyss Xuanming? Abyss Xuanming?" Wang Mang reached out, patting his shoulder as he called out.

Yet, the latter remained lost in a daze, not moving at all.

Wang Mang then intensified the force of his pats.

As Wang Mang’s pats grew stronger, Abyss Xuanming finally showed some reaction.

He appeared utterly confused, garbling, "Huh? What... are you calling me?"

Seeing his response, Wang Mang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What’s wrong with you?"

After Wang Mang spoke, Abyss Xuanming shook his head and looked at Wang Mang with a strange expression.

"A very peculiar feeling."

Hearing this, Wang Mang promptly asked, "What sort of feeling?"

"Do you feel unwell in any way?"

Responding to the question, Abyss Xuanming once again shook his head and said softly, "It’s not a physical sensation, it’s a feeling in the heart."

"There’s an inexplicable voice that occasionally surfaces, reminding me what I should do."

As he spoke, his face also showed a hint of puzzlement.

Clearly, such a situation was confusing to him as well.

Just then, Liang Qi’s telepathic message suddenly echoed in Wang Mang’s mind.

"Fellow Daoist, that might be a remnant obsession of his past life causing trouble."

Hearing this, Wang Mang’s heart jolted.

"Past life? By falling into the Corpse Dao, did he become a different person?"

"I am not certain either. To fall into the Corpse Dao after death is essentially to restore his fallen Tou She Ancient God."

"Memories of the past life will be buried deep within the new Tou She Ancient God, which will recover with the increase of strength."

"But this means the new Tou She Ancient God receives the memories of the past, and then two entirely different sets of memories merge."

At these words, Wang Mang’s brow furrowed tightly.

At this moment, Liang Qi’s telepathic message resounded again:

"His heart, seeking strength, is steadfast as a rock."

"Falling into the Corpse Dao was inevitable sooner or later."

"Everything is by chance yet also by fate; perhaps this is his life."
