Chapter 1149: Chapter 1051: Tracing the Last Body

The Fifth Origin Clan, atop the altar.

A group of lunatics, all somewhat puzzled.

Where have the Nine Great Forbidden Lords gone…

How could they just vanish…

And moreover, they even left the Reincarnation Seal where it was…

“Could there be some kind of sinister plot or trickery at play?”

They were all somewhat on guard.

“It doesn’t matter, whatever scheming… it’s all irrelevant!”

The Demon Ancestor Wuye spoke:

“With the Reincarnation Seal in hand, once that name is invoked, all schemes and trickery… will dissipate like smoke and clouds!”

He was not cowed in the slightest!

Hearing this, the other lunatics also nodded… after all, they had the protection of that name.

Thinking of this, their confidence soared!

“Since that’s the case, let’s prepare… to initiate reincarnation!”

Yin Xu’an spoke up, and they immediately picked up the Reincarnation Seal from the ground.

The moment the Reincarnation Seal was in their hands, strands of faint Samsara Qi began to emerge from their bodies and the seas of consciousness.

The Reincarnation Seal in their hands suddenly began to tremble lightly!

Resonance!

…

At this moment.

Unknown to anyone.

Beneath the altar of the Fifth Origin Clan, a chain was buried.

At the end of this chain was a massive burial pit.

Inside the pit, grey mist was extremely dense, with faint traces of black air swirling around.

The Rotten Slave held one end of the chain, like a dead man.

Suddenly, the pitch-black chain trembled slightly.

The Rotten Slave abruptly sat up straight, like a zombie.

“The Cycle of Rebirth Authority has begun to move…”

The Rotten Slave murmured:

“I… shall temporarily hold it for my master.”

He rose to his feet, and his figure suddenly vanished from the spot.

A streak of black light moved swiftly along the chain.

…

Atop the altar.

The seas of consciousness of the Demon Ancestor and the others, once home to the Red Dust Jade, now the aura of the Red Dust Jade within their seas of consciousness resonated with the Reincarnation Seal!

At this moment, everyone felt a connection.

Their thoughts and the Reincarnation Seal gradually became as one, and suddenly around them, there appeared remnants of the battered Netherworld, that was the eerie Ghost Domain, the passageway to the afterlife, the resting place for all spirits…

They sensed the existence of the battered Netherworld but felt as if it was extremely far away… only able to draw closer bit by bit!

Approaching the doors of the Netherworld… and then pushing them open!

Simultaneously, beneath the altar.

A pair of decaying eyes slowly opened, peering at everything happening atop the altar.

…

A great veil shrouded the end of the Forbidden Ancient Path.

Behind the veil, it seemed like countless mists of grey were swirling, with mysterious entities whispering in hushed tones.

On this side of the veil, a solitary grave suppressed the entire ancient path.

Desolation at the end, few have ever set foot here since time immemorial!

At this moment.

The Youxu Messenger approached step by step, holding a jade box in his hands containing relics once belonging to the Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones.

He dared not get close to the grave, stopping a kilometer away.

Even so, he still felt an inexplicable palpitation, as if facing an invincible entity.

He was waiting.

Waiting for the Reincarnation Grand Formation’s ritual to be completely successful, waiting for the Cycle of Rebirth Authority to reappear.

Then, he could use the relics of the Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones to summon the final remnants of “those people’s” ghosts.

And thus open this place, create a passage to the Forbidden World and draw forth the Forbidden Path Marks bestowed by the Grey Mist Forces of the Forbidden World.

“The Rotten Slave is watching over there; he will steal the cycle of reincarnation…”

“And I will use the old ghosts in the Youxu Realm to clear the obstacles at The End of Myriad Paths, to welcome the master’s arrival…”

The Youxu Messenger whispered.

Suddenly, he sensed something.

The Rotten Slave had sent a message.

The Cycle of Rebirth Authority was about to be controlled!

Now was the opportunity to change the game.

The Youxu Messenger suddenly opened the jade box in his hands, then took out the contained items one by one and arranged them on the spot.

There were nearly decayed strings of a zither.

A broken paintbrush.

A withered sword tassel.

Blackened prayer beads.

An empty and solitary medicine pouch.

There was even a tuft of red hair.

…

Twelve relics were all properly arranged.

“With reincarnation soon complete, please Youxu Realm, break the situation at The End of Myriad Paths!”

The Youxu Messenger called out.

At this moment.

Boom!

At the end of the Forbidden Ancient Path, it was as if a great world was descending; faintly, the wails of myriad ghosts and the whispers of specters were transmitted.

The chilling aura of hell enshrouded this stretch of the ancient path.

The battered Ninefold Underworld appeared at this moment!

Within the Ninefold Underworld, countless ghastly green eyes lit up, gazing from the depths of Youming towards the solitary grave ahead.

Densely packed, terrifyingly so.

And between the Ninefold Underworlds, a mysterious space emerged, embodying a thin Reincarnation Qi circulation, and atop a nearly shattered Yama’s Chair, nine terrifying ghostly figures appeared.

“The End of Myriad Paths, it is time for you to depart.”

The old ghost with only eyes left, addressed the solitary grave, solemnly saying:

“Reincarnation shall be rebuilt, to shelter the spirits of the world!”

But, the solitary grave stood unyielding.

“The hope you’ve guarded has long ceased to exist. Even if the last vestige of those people remains, what of it? Even he has passed away, whoever re-emerges will not change the outcome!”

“So be it. You left behind a grave all those years ago, for nothing more than a wishful thought. Then watch as your wish turns to naught!”

The hoary ghostly voice rose, whereupon, within the Youxu Realm, upon the nine Yama’s Chairs, nine great giants made their move simultaneously.

At this moment, the Ninefold Underworld roared, countless ghosts howled collectively, the sound reverberating through Youming.

In the Youxu Realm, those nine Yama’s Chairs creaked as though about to shatter, the last wisp of power of reincarnation within them squeezed out, turning into a yellow light of reincarnation, shooting out of the Youxu Realm.

That beam of light traversed the Youxu Realm, entering reality, and charged directly towards the relics of the Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones!

The light of reincarnation shone upon the relics of the Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones.

Boom!

In this moment, the sea of cause and effect boiled over.

Upon this desolate ancient trail, a stunning vision appeared!

The power of reincarnation was activated, tracing back through pieces of time and starting from that era of great turmoil, the annals of time were being turned!

It was the Grey Mist Sea of the great turmoil era, where the Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones were engaged in fierce battle, cutting through the Grey Mist Sea, stepping upon the Forbidden Ancient Path!

A dark trail flashed by, and that era of the Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones came to an end.

Then, images from the Era of the Latter Ancestral Mist Realm flickered past.

The Heavenly Abyss opened, bones stacked high as the Great Wall, the Nine Laws spread across the world, the Sacrificial Temple was established…

The power of reincarnation, starting from the era when the Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones fell, was pushing through the entire ages, searching for all cause and effect connected to them!

However, as time passed like flipping through a book, the final form was never seen!

The giants in the Youxu Realm waited.

“After the death of the Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones, those people in the heavens and earth only had their last forms remaining, and even those were cursed by the source, destined to suffer; most would perish before reaching adulthood, so it is difficult to find their traces. Let’s just wait patiently,” whispered one giant.

…

At this moment.

The Nine Great Source Lands.

Yun Xi, Nan Feng, and others had almost completed their journey.

In every Source Eye of Mist, they sowed sand-stabilizing grass.

The sand-stabilizing grass took root within the Grey Mist Spring Eye, drawing from the grey mist, yet slowly releasing white mist!

“We’ve finally sorted it.”

Lu Rang let out a long breath of relief, saying:

“These grasses grow very quickly, it won’t take long to completely drain the power of the Grey Mist Spring Eye!”

“By then, these sand-stabilizing grasses will become the world’s source, emitting enough white source qi!”

Thus, the Forbidden Ancient Path, and even the entire Grey Mist Sea, would become part of the White Mist World.

Just then.

Boom.

Around them, countless forces of cause and effect suddenly boiled.

As if the sea of years was emerging beside them, some power was trying to trace back upon them!

But that power could not touch their bodies, could not capture their shadows!

Because, the cause and effect of their current life was not under the cycle of reincarnation, not traceable by the power of reincarnation.

“The power of reincarnation.”

Jiang Li spoke gravely:

“Is someone using the power of reincarnation to trace us?”

Everyone was somewhat astonished.

But Big Black Dog looked up, saying:

“Woof, they actually want to trace your current lives… His Majesty here suspects that the source’s black hand is at play.”

Its dog eyes were full of solemnity:

“The source still doesn’t trust this realm… His Majesty suggests, we should contact the folks in the yard to step in, to prevent you from being exposed.”

However, Yun Xi suddenly said:

“No.”

“We should go.”

Her eyes revealed an unprecedented determination, saying:

“The source fears ‘A Single Spark Can Start a Prairie Fire’, hence, it wants to extinguish all fire stars…”

“And he… has a new strategy to break the game, so, we must go forward… to take the path of ‘A Single Spark Can Start a Prairie Fire’, so that he may have a chance…”

Upon hearing this, Nan Feng Ziling and the others instantly understood.

“We could return and hide, our master would protect us… But the source’s gaze wouldn’t shift away,” said Nan Feng in a low voice.

“Enough. We have stayed by teacher’s side for many years, which is already enough. It’s time to walk our own path, success or failure…”

Dugu Yuqing had an unwavering determination in his eyes.

“With a bit of warmth, emit a bit of light!”

“Even if like a firefly’s, it can still emit a bit of light in the darkness, no need to wait for a torch!”

“If the source fears, then we shall let ‘A Single Spark Can Start a Prairie Fire’! Gentlemen, just watch this night sky, watch this deep darkness, we shall burst forth fireworks to illuminate the world!”

“Once our master did not wish for us to encounter this situation of ‘A Single Spark Can Start a Prairie Fire’, journeying alone… This life, we shall not step back again!”

In this moment, a group of disciples spoke up all at once.

– Since the day before leaving the courtyard, Yun Xi and Xinning had already told them of the darkest strategy of eternity.

‘A Single Spark Can Start a Prairie Fire’ is the only solution!

Now, they were not the slightest bit fearful or hesitant!

“Let’s go, step into the cycle of rebirth, and see what the black hand has to dread!”

“We didn’t refrain from slapping his face back then; today we’ll deal another beating!”

“I’ll sit on him to death!”

In this moment, Yun Xi, Long Zixuan, Nan Feng, Zi Ling, Xinning, Qing Chen, Dugu Yuqing, Lin Jiu Zheng, Jiang Li, Wu Dade, and Lu Rang, all stepped into this power of reincarnation!

…

Simultaneously.

At the Fifth Origin Clan’s altar.

“The gates of reincarnation shall open!”

Wu Ye and the others, firmly held the Reincarnation Seal, exerting all their might to push open that gate!

Silently under the altar, a rotten black hand suddenly stretched out, holding iron chains, aiming to lock them down!

…

Goodnight. Goodnight.
