Chapter 504: Chapter 498: Shocking News, Daoism Transformation Disaster!

Subsequently.

The revived Fish Woman Corpse and Jubi’s Corpse, under the siege of the two Green Seal Sages, Wang Yuan himself, and Huang Wu, also could not hold out for long.

They soon died again, slowly sinking into the dark abyss like their companions.

Only the continuous flow of filthy, multicolored Dharma Light from those twelve massive bodies underwater was particularly dazzling to the eye.

They could only watch helplessly as the group of Ancient Corpses, together with the "Phenomenon Strange: Returning Ruins," increasingly affected a larger area.

Permanently altering the ecology and even the rules of this sea area, yet they were utterly unable to stop it.

Especially in Wang Yuan’s eyes.

A pitch-dark Tribulation Energy constantly lingered over Returning Ruins, never dispersing, proving that, in the indigenous Heavenly Dao’s view, it was also a huge ticking time bomb.

But due to the Corpse Dissection Immortal grasping the rules’ critical points, even the Heavenly Dao was completely helpless against them.

Thus, although Wang Yuan had temporarily "bowed to death" the eight Ancient Corpses underwater, he was not proud of his success.

He was very clear about the actual extent of his abilities.

"As long as it is under the rules of this Great Thousand World, a dead Corpse Dissection Immortal and a dead person alike are all subject to the control of King Yanluo.

It’s not that I am now very powerful, it is merely the suppression of the power of death.

These Corpse Dissection Immortals had long ago attained the ability of immortality through the Killing Dao Fruit, their life force exceedingly tenacious. Unless the Killing Tree dies, they will not perish completely.

Even though they have become Ancient Corpses, the balance between the death energy and life force inside them has only reached a subtle equilibrium.

The concept of death to them is completely different from that of ordinary people."

"The reason they suddenly went berserk today is probably because an avatar of Yama, not far from them, made a breakthrough, disturbing their internal balance of life and death.

Even the ’Three Bows of King Yan’ cannot completely make these Corpse Dissection Immortals that have turned into corpses, bow to death.

It just resets their state of death, preventing them from reviving in the short term.

Given some time and nourishment from the Killing Tree, they will continue to revive.

Even if the Corpse Dissection Immortals arrive, they cannot destroy them, just as nobody can destroy a mathematical theorem."

At this time.

Sage Qingxia also realized that this young rising star among the Nine Soldiers, well-known as the Star Lord Taibai from Dou Department,

Was also the only Heavenly Immortal Official of the Yin Department Ghost God Division – King Yanluo!

Sensing this dream-like restraining power against the Ancient Corpses, she was no longer surprised.

Moreover, given Wang Yuan’s current rate of advancement, which made most Corpse Dissection Immortals blush,

Becoming the chief of the Yin Department Ghost God Division like the chief of the Dou Department Great Fate or the chief of the God of Good and Evil Department Victorious Fighting King seemed only a matter of time.

At least according to her knowledge, in the entire Nine Soldiers combined with the familiar Side Doors, none could find a second immortal official who ascended to Green Seal Sage quicker than him.

This was undoubtedly a stock with potential.

Meanwhile, the giant named Long Bo beside her, introduced by Sage Qingxia, was more straightforward:

"Star Lord Taibai, we owe you a lot this time.

With you above the East Sea, we can finally get some peaceful sleep from now on, hahaha...

Star Lord, today you must visit our Long Bo Nation. Let this old Long Bo show you some hospitality."

Without allowing Wang Yuan to decline, he unhooked a horn from his waist and blew it fiercely.

Doo—!

As Returning Ruins approached the Red County Shenzhou side, a massive wave suddenly arose.

Surprisingly, a huge island located on the back of a giant turtle slowly emerged from underwater.

Looking around, the island had pavilions, water pavilions, shimmering in gold and jade, and rare animals roamed freely. Trees adorned with gems burgeoned with heavy, lustrous fruits.

Many inhabitants, although not as big as the Green Seal’s Long Bo, were still much taller than ordinary humans, reaching several meters or even more, populating the nation.

Seeing the astonishment in Wang Yuan and Huang Wu’s eyes, Sage Qingxia spoke on behalf of Long Bo:

"In the world besides Cave Heaven Blessed Lands and Immortal Mountains overseas, there are three magical Rootless Mountains, carried by giant turtles, floating beside the deep Returning Ruins.

They are called: Daiyu, Yuanjiao, and Fanghu.

Each harbors the nations of Long Bo, Merfolk, and Feather People.

Their ancestors were Heavenly People from the Corpse Dissection Immortal Heaven, some descended from humans, some from demons.

Refined by the Immortal Light of Corpse Dissection Immortals, each is different from ordinary people with exceptional talents, forming their own kind.

They are commanded by the Corpse Dissection Immortal to rotate guarding this Returning Ruins.

My Immortal Mist Island is also nearby, merely a thousand miles away, but unlike the three Rootless Mountains, it cannot move."

Wang Yuan could not help but sincerely admire:

"Truly, the creation is mysteriously profound; I did not know in the past that beside Dushuo Mountain, there dwell such esteemed neighbors!"

"I shall definitely visit each home soon."

Wang Yuan was not unfamiliar with Immortal Mist Island and Qixia Temple, regardless of his relations with the Six-Eared Macaque, as he had acquaintances from this Tao lineage since the beginning of his enlightenment.

One was a colleague when he first joined the Imperial Dragon Guard in Dengzhou Prefecture, who had together exterminated the entire Xue Mansion—Shen Qingyi.

Another was the esteemed owner of Mang Mountain Blessed Land, Thunder Department’s Golden Essence Green Thought Immortal, Shen Qiuzhuo.

He was particularly curious about the Heavenly People from Immortal Heaven.

Returning Ruins was not a place for the benevolent, and it was even rarer to have guests here; being praised by them, Long Bo was naturally delighted:

"Hahaha, Taoist Fellow, you flatter me; it is all the legacy of my ancestors and the grace of the Immortal lords."

"In the future, we neighbors should indeed visit each other often, please!"

"Then I shall impose upon you."

After being promoted to Sage Qingxia, Wang Yuan had already passed the phase where he had to be excessively cautious and secretive towards everyone.

Except for the core secret of also being an external transmigrator, like the Killing Tree, which must not be casually revealed.

Even if others were to know about the Little Book of Life and Death in his possession, it would not amount to much.

Before, it was like a child in a bustling marketplace carrying gold, harboring sin; now it was like a mountain king sharing a large bowl of wine and dividing gold scales.

Just like the Golden Lion King, who was pursued for the Dragon Slaying Sword and fled to Ice and Fire Island, while the Heaven Sword lay in Wudang Mountain, yet oddly no one dared to seek out Sage Zhang for a chat—it was the same thing.

The group ascended with Escape Light and landed on Daiyu Island, which was enveloped by a ring of light barriers, where the Long Bo clan had already prepared a lavish feast.

Long-armed sea cucumbers, rose-colored shark fins, snow crab fights... all kinds of sea delicacies, which were only limited by one’s imagination.

The group took their seats, and for a while, the banquet hall was filled with toasting, and the host and guests enjoyed themselves immensely.

Now that Wang Yuan had himself been promoted to Sage Qingxia, he naturally integrated into the circle of sages.

Moreover, since their domain was over the East Sea, they were destined to support and watch over each other.

Some secrets that were only passed down orally among the higher echelons and never recorded in the Guanlan Pavilion were also opened up to him.

"To use the twelve ancient corpses to brew a calamity equal to a ’Little Ice Age’ through Daoism Transformation Disaster?!"

Hearing the secrets narrated by Sage Qingxia,

Wang Yuan and Huang Wu had not expected that Returning Ruins and the Twelve Ancient Corpses appearing here were not just coincidental.

It was premeditated!

The iconic "Hundred Schools of Thought" and "Daoist Magic Manifestation" were merely the final barriers between "normal" and "distorted," which had been thoroughly shattered (Chapter 86).

Before the Hundred Schools of Thought, and even before Emperor Mu opened the door to thieves, the two sides had already clashed innumerable times in secret.

Now lying in Returning Ruins, the Twelve Ancient Corpses were:

Yellow Consort’s Corpse, Ugly Woman’s Corpse, Fish Woman’s Corpse, Yayu’s Corpse, Ancestor’s Corpse, Shebi’s Corpse.

Ling Ghost’s Corpse, Wang Hai’s Corpse, Xia Geng’s Corpse, Erfu’s Corpse, Remaining Corpse, Jubi’s Corpse.

Each was slain by different forces in different eras.

The reason they gathered here was all due to "Phenomenon Strange: Returning Ruins!"

Listening to Sage Qingxia continue with a somewhat heavy tone:

"Returning Ruins, also known as ’Returning Void’, is a bottomless valley in the sea, where all waters converge.

It originally did not exist in the natural world, but was gradually formed as ’Phenomenon Strange’ by the accumulation and activation of knowledge.

It represents the end and destination of all things.

It was first discovered by an Immortal Official of the Nine Soldiers about a thousand years ago.

Since then, using its unique characteristics, it has gathered the twelve ancient corpses killed in different places and eras, along with the contaminated space and laws, to this location."

"This was not the Heavenly Officials acting out of a surge of kindness to control the pollution actively.

The Corpse Dissection Immortals had already discovered that cluster pollution was even more terrifying than leaks of internal scene contamination.

Different rules repeatedly conflicting and merging in the same region will completely contaminate part of the Heavenly Dao after a while, profoundly altering the climate and ecology of an area.

This subsequently results in an invasion of alien species-like ’Daoism Transformation Disaster’!

According to the Corpse Dissection Immortals’ deduction, this will be a kind of bizarre celestial phenomenon that defies common understanding, eventually becoming as mundane as the wind and rain in human life.

Just a recurring ’Little Ice Age’ alone substantially reduced the world’s population and directly shook the foundations of a nation’s rule.

This is a force that no Daoist skill can withstand.

Now that Returning Ruins has formed for over a thousand years, the pollution is deepening, and even if it can continue to restrain the Ancient Corpses’ rampage, a new, unpredictable natural disaster could occur at any moment!"

Wang Yuan and Huang Wu looked solemn.

Because no matter in what form the Daoism Transformation Disaster appeared, their own headquarters—Dushuo Mountain—would be the first to be hit.
