After listening to Elder Chu Zhen's explanation and the information he had obtained previously, Shen Mo had a clear understanding of today's events.
The ancestors of the Immortal Sect more or less had a premonition of the Wuming Tianjun's intention to build this tomb... so they followed the trend and sent various leaders to excavate this tomb according to the original plan!
In addition, they may not know what changes will happen after the core of the tomb is cracked;
However, this does not affect their advance layout!
Among them, the illusory mirror light in the hand of Elder Chu Zhen is the core object.
As the excavation deepens, information is continuously fed back to the five immortal sects, and the ability and true intentions of the ancestors of these immortal sects to predict Tianjun become increasingly clear.
Knowing that the corpse spirit might be able to estimate the danger, the ancestors of the Immortal Sect borrowed Chu Zhen's hand to send the Illusion Sky Mirror, and used its magical effect to turn the void into reality, interfering with the corpse spirit's calculation method!
This kind of magic to spy on heaven's secrets sounds magical, but it also has great limitations.
In addition to the need to offer sacrifices for longevity and good fortune, one can only get a glimpse of the residual light from the scrolls of later generations, and cannot explore everything in detail.
After all, the longer the glimpse of the scroll is, the larger the scope, and the more detailed it is, the more its own consumption will reach an extremely terrifying level; constantly pursuing perfection, even a corpse spirit with a long lifespan may die of old age in an instant.
When Tianjun was alive, or as a corpse spirit, he "saw" the threat of Yuandan realm experts early on, and when Qiu Jiutian set up a temporary teleportation altar, he made up his mind to kill him in one fell swoop!
Things developed as smoothly as it expected. Qiu Jiutian and the Dharma Altar were turned into a pile of powder under its attack...
But it doesn't know that the scene of "killing Qiu Jiutian, destroying the altar, and preventing the powerful Yuan Dan from rushing here immediately" is just an illusion reflected by the illusion mirror.
When Qiu Jiutian faced a fatal move for the first time, he almost died and escaped with the help of a substitute magic weapon;
Then, Elder Chu Zhen of the Yanyue Sect used the illusory mirror light;
Thanks to the characteristics of this mirror, a ray of mirror light turned into the illusion of the empty mirror itself, deceiving the corpse spirit with an illusion, making it think that it had a chance to win and relax its vigilance!
Then, Qiu Jiutian successfully set up a temporary teleportation altar and brought over several ancestors who were ready.
Next, a scene happened that Shen Mo, the Prison Heart Sword Master and others saw.
"Among the ancestors of the five great immortal sects in the Yuan Dan realm, there must be someone who surpasses Xuan Zhuzi in terms of divination!"
"Otherwise, this interlocking situation cannot be explained by coincidence." Shen Mo cursed in his heart.
For some reason, either to avoid alerting the enemy, or to draw out the corpse spirit... Shen Mo and the other monks actually became pawns on the chessboard.
The person holding the son is none other than the ancestors of the immortal sects!
Even though it was to find a way out for Chiyan Nation to cultivate the immortal world, this feeling of being unable to control his own destiny made him feel quite uncomfortable!
This feeling made him more determined to achieve Yuan Dan as soon as possible.
Even though he is now a high-ranking member of the Linjiang Sect, and his status in the sect is second only to the four ancestors, the sect master and a few other people... But after tearing away the many cover-ups, in the final analysis of the world of immortality, strength is the most important thing.
This point, whether it is placed in an immortal sect or a cultivating immortal family, whether it is in ancient times or today, is always an unbreakable truth!
Shen Mo's eyes fell on the corpses of Xuan Zhuzi and other disciples at the star observation platform.
After a long silence, he sighed softly.
"Several ancestors pursued the evil spirit of the corpse spirit and entered its cave heaven and paradise. Now, we are of no use..."
"Please collect the corpses and relics of the disciples in your respective sects properly and leave this place as soon as possible."
"Lest you suffer the disaster of being a fish in the pond in vain!"
Generally speaking, Shen Mo believed that the five immortal sect ancestors could successfully subdue the corpse spirit;
But there are many things to be afraid of. If the corpse spirit escapes the pursuit of several ancestors, it is hard to say that it will not pour its anger on Shen Mo and others who left the tomb early!
"That's what Fellow Daoist Shen said!"
Qiuxingtan Qiu Jiutian's life-saving means have been almost destroyed, and he doesn't want to wait any longer at this moment;
After quickly collecting the remains of Xuan Zhuzi and others, they flew out of the tomb.
The Prison Heart Sword Master, Giant Corpse Taoist, Chu Zhen and others all suffered serious injuries, but they were not to the point where they could not move freely. They took the elixir, started their exercises, and hurriedly dealt with their injuries. They took away the corpses and relics of the disciples in the sect!
There were also two people in the Linjiang Sect who died at the hands of the Corpse Spirit, both of whom were disciples of the late stage of Qi Gathering.
One is an elite of Rising Sun Peak and is quite talented in forging weapons; the other is a disciple of Xingchen Peak, a descendant of the Ji family from Elder Ji, and is studying the formation method intensively!
After putting away the corpses of the two people and the Qiankun Bag and other relics, Shen Mo set up the escape light and got into the tomb corridor.
It didn't take long for Shen Mo to catch up with Master Zhao Lingyin, Clam Girl Mingyu, Elder Guo Baige and the others.
They are all in the Spiritual Sea Realm, but there is no trace of the Qi Gathering Realm disciples.
After asking carefully, I learned that Mingyu used [Mustard Seed Sumeru] to collect all the energy-gathering disciples whose escape speed was slow into a small space.
In this way, it can greatly increase the speed of the team's return to Wudu City.
When Shen Mo reunited with everyone, everyone in the spirit sea realm asked for news about the corpse spirit.
Shen Mo didn't hide anything from them, and told them all about the subsequent situation; of course, some of the bad speculations were exposed by him in an understatement.
It didn't take long for Shen Mo and his party to return to Wudu City. They declined the kind offer of the top leaders of Wudu Sect to stay, and returned to Linjiang Sect's mountain gate through the teleportation formation.
After dealing with a series of follow-up matters, Shen Mo rarely felt physically and mentally tired.
He did not return to Guanyun Mansion, but went directly to Julingfeng Lakeside Villa.
Zhao Lingyin had just opened up the spiritual sea and was still consolidating her realm. Shen Mo couldn't touch her, so he just smelled the fragrance of her body and hugged her to sleep!
…
Three days later, Shen Mo was ordered to go to the Changsheng Palace to discuss matters.
The scene in the palace is much the same as before; those who have tasks at hand will be absent from this meeting, and most of the senior officials in the sect have arrived.
Among the four Supreme Elders, three of them showed up just like the previous days; the ancestor who sneaked into the Heavenly Demon Realm was still missing, and he couldn't even project his voice and appearance into a water-light mirror.
As soon as the discussion started, Shen Mo learned that the corpse spirit of the Heavenly Lord had been subdued by the five ancestors of the Immortal Sect and was now captured back to the Ghost Corpse Sect.
It won't take long before it will be transformed into a powerful corpse puppet through the corpse refining methods of the Ghost Corpse Sect and through heavenly sacrifices again and again... During this period, other ancestors of the Immortal Sect will take action and place restraints in its body!
"Master Shen, you have done a good job on this mission, and you are worthy of praise and reward!" The ancestor who stepped forward to subdue the corpse spirit praised him.
