Chapter 391: Celestial Body
Elder Lei's expression suddenly turned serious upon hearing this.
He glanced at Lin Wan'er and Mei Chuan beside them, and found that Lin Wan'er had her head down, lost in thought, and wasn't listening to them at all. Mei Chuan, on the other hand, stood tactfully at a distance. He then spoke, "That's right. After you left, the Sect Leader said he would come to the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts to gather information. But a few days have passed, and the Sect Leader hasn't given any news. I was worried, so I came to check..."
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Yun Chen.
When Yun Chen heard this, his heart sank suddenly, as if being pressed down by a huge rock.
Master Ye Wuxin's whereabouts are unknown, and now even the head master of the Divine Thunder Palace, Lei Miaoyun, has lost contact?
What on earth happened in the Forest of Beasts?
His expression instantly grew extremely serious, and his voice unconsciously rose a few degrees: "Could it be that something delayed them? Or perhaps the jade talisman for communication was lost?"
Although the Forest of Beasts is extremely dangerous, Lei Miaoyun is a powerful cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. How could he disappear without a sound?
Elder Lei frowned and shook his head. "No, even if something delayed her, or the jade talisman was lost, she would still be able to send a message to the sect. Besides, there's no reason for the sect leader to be missing for such a long time..."
He paused as he spoke, then continued, "Also, from what I've observed along the way, the atmosphere in this forest is indeed a little off."
"Something's wrong?" Yun Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.
Elder Lei nodded and said solemnly, "After Ruoruo and I came in, we discovered that the monsters in the Ten Thousand Beast Forest were more agitated than usual, especially in the outer areas. Many high-level monsters have appeared. There is indeed something wrong with the Ten Thousand Beast Forest."
A strong sense of unease gripped Yun Chen.
The master was taken away by Chaoyin Pavilion, the master disappeared inexplicably while exploring the forest, and there was also the previous encounter with the Shadow Snake Group and the strange Nascent Soul Monster...all of this seemed to point to a huge crisis lurking in the depths of the Forest of Beasts.
"Could it be... that the disappearance of our master is related to the Land of the Fallen Gods?" Yun Chen couldn't help but speculate, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
If this is true, then Japan's layout may not be as simple as it seems.
"The Land of God's Fall? What is that?"
Elder Lei had just arrived and didn't know anything about the Land of the Fallen Gods. When he heard Yun Chen's words, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Yun Chen did not hide anything and told Elder Lei all the information he had received from Meichuan.
After hearing Yun Chen's words, Elder Lei's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"What a bunch of bastards! After all these years, they still haven't given up."
Yun Chen couldn't help but be curious: "Elder Lei, is this resurrection of the gods real?"
He had some doubts about the authenticity of what Meichuan said about the resurrected gods.
After all, if the gods could really be resurrected, wouldn’t the world be in chaos?
If any god can destroy this world, what's the point?
Besides, if resurrection is really possible, why hasn’t Daxia resurrected its gods over the years?
After all, the gods of Daxia are more numerous and more powerful than those of Japan.
Yun Chen didn’t believe that the place where the gods fell could be found in Japan, but not in Daxia.
"Gods?"
Elder Lei couldn't help but sneer upon hearing this, and said with a rather disdainful tone: "How dare a false god from a tiny country call himself a god?"
"Is not it?"
Yun Chen showed curiosity.
Elder Lei said calmly, "He's not even worthy of being called a god. When he became a god, he was struck by heavenly thunder and his soul was completely destroyed. Later, he attempted to use the fortune of the Great Xia nation to become a god, but was killed by the Great Xia gods. Only a remnant of his soul remains. Who would have thought he would even dream of resurrection?"
"So that's it."
Yun Chen nodded upon hearing this, and then something occurred to him. He couldn't help but ask, "Since the ancient gods had the ability to kill him, why didn't they just destroy his soul and spirit instead of leaving him with a remnant?"
If you don't kill the snake, just follow the pole. Doesn't any god know this?
Elder Lei sighed upon hearing this and said, "There are forty-nine Heavenly Transformations, fifty Great Daos, and even if humans escape one, Heavenly Dao will leave a glimmer of hope for all races. As a god recognized by Heavenly Dao, why should we kill them all?"
"However, that senior probably didn't expect... that his kindness would sow the seeds of disaster for Daxia."
Yun Chen: ...
Yun Chen was speechless for a moment when he heard this.
The kindness of that ancient god did leave behind a huge hidden danger for future generations.
He was silent for a moment, digesting this astonishing information. Then he thought of another key question: "Elder Lei, since only a remnant of this false god remains, even if the Japanese monks resurrected him in the Land of the Fallen God, his strength would probably be far less than his peak strength in the past, right?"
"Resurrection?" Elder Lei sneered and said calmly, "He is just a remnant soul. To revive him, hundreds of thousands of souls would be required as sacrifices. Where can I find hundreds of thousands of souls for him in Japan?"
"To put it another way, even if we find it... it can only guarantee the awakening of his soul. Even a random Jindan cultivator can destroy him, unless we find the legendary immortal body."
"Fairy spirit body?"
Yun Chen looked curious.
He knew that there were various special physiques recorded in the world of cultivation, such as his extremely yang body, Qin Shuang's extremely yin body, and Ruoruo's innate Taoist body.
But this was the first time he had heard of the immortal body.
Elder Lei did not hide it from him and explained, "The Immortal Spirit Body is a legendary innate Taoist body that is hard to come by in ten thousand years."
"Legend has it that those with this physique are naturally attuned to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and their cultivation speed far surpasses that of ordinary people. More importantly, their souls are pure and flawless, containing the most fundamental vitality and spirituality."
"For the remnant soul, the soul of the immortal body is like the most perfect container and tonic. If it can be taken over or merged with, it will not only quickly stabilize the soul, but it may even be possible to reshape the divine body and restore some of its former power!"
Yun Chen took a deep breath. "So, as long as they find the immortal body, they might be able to revive Amaterasu?"
Elder Lei shook his head and sneered, "They're dreaming. Amaterasu is a goddess. Even if they find a spiritual body, it has to be a female body. Otherwise, the spirit and body cannot be integrated at all."
"What if they really find us...what should we do?" Although Yun Chen didn't think they could really gather so many conditions, he couldn't help but become curious and asked.
Elder Lei shook his head decisively upon hearing this, saying, "It's simply impossible... Even if they can sacrifice their divine souls and find their immortal bodies, they still need to gather three Japanese artifacts, and all three of these artifacts are within the Daoist tradition. There's no way they can succeed."
If they really fulfilled all these conditions...
That is destiny, and there is no use in trying to stop it.
Upon hearing this, Yun Chen nodded in agreement.
These conditions are indeed too difficult to achieve.
Especially the fairy body.
After all, with soul sacrifice, they can plan to massacre the entire city, and it is not impossible for them to get the three artifacts if they try hard.
But the immortal body is a kind of innate Taoist body.
It would be too unbelievable if Ruoruo awakened the Dao body. How could another innate Dao body appear?
Do you really think that the innate Dao body is cabbage? It can be found everywhere.
What's more... it must be a female body. Yun Chen... has exactly the same idea as Elder Lei.
How could such a coincidence happen?
