Returning to the Body

Chapter 93 Returning to the Body

Looking at his brother, Yuanshi Tianzun remained calm and said, "I emerged from the merit of Pangu's creation of the world. Even the Heavenly Dao will not hold a grudge against me. It's just a matter of changing a few rules. It's nothing serious."

This was said casually by Yuanshi Tianzun, but the others knew the enormous price he had paid for it.

Changing the fundamental rules of the primordial world, although not based on the Five Elements or Yin and Yang, still involves things like fighting, which fall under the category of killing and are also a very important part of the primordial world.

Even though Yuanshi Tianzun enjoys great favor from the Heavenly Dao, arbitrarily changing such rules does not mean he can act recklessly. Even without the Heavenly Hatred and Heavenly Punishment, he will inevitably have to pay a heavy price.

Suddenly, Yuanshi Tianzun involuntarily let out a muffled groan. Beads of sweat appeared on his originally majestic appearance, and his face turned pale. Clearly, the punishment from Heaven had descended upon him!

This punishment must have been extremely severe, so severe that even the Primordial Celestial Venerable had no time to maintain his composure and lost his composure in public, and could only do his best to suppress his injuries, which shows how terrifying it was.

Laozi and Tongtian were helpless in this matter, after all, this was a punishment specifically imposed by the Heavenly Dao on Yuanshi Tianzun, and they could not interfere, otherwise they would surely bring trouble upon themselves. Moreover, Yuanshi Tianzun's punishment would not be lessened in the slightest, but would be greatly aggravated.

So all the other five could do was turn their heads away, which was considered saving face for Yuanshi Tianzun.

Just as Laozi was about to take out a few golden pills, his eyes suddenly twitched, and the others also frowned and looked down at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

The once tranquil Kunlun Mountain was now filled with countless great gods, and their faces were very familiar—they were the junior brothers and sisters I had heard the teachings from twice before.

What are these people doing in Kunlun Mountain?

The six disciples of the sage looked at each other, trying to see what the other was thinking, but they could only see confusion in each other's eyes.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable cast a spell, instantly reverting to his previous majestic demeanor, and said in a deep voice, "What are these people doing here at Kunlun Mountain? Do they intend to kill the six of us? Aren't they afraid of being punished by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun?"

The other five nodded in agreement. Not to mention that the six of them were themselves reckless and unruly beings, Hongjun Daozu alone was already an insurmountable mountain on the heads of all the gods in the prehistoric world.

How dare these people slaughter his disciples right under the nose of Hongjun Daozu? Are they really tired of living?

Just then, Nuwa suddenly closed her beautiful eyes, then opened them a moment later, her expression strange, and said, "Fellow disciples, I just spoke with my eldest brother, and he told me that these people have come to pay their respects to us?"

"Paying homage to us? What is there to pay homage to?" Tongtian found this very strange. They were just people who had heard about the incense offerings. One or two people paying homage would be fine, but why did so many people come together to pay homage? Was this some kind of mountain-chopping?

Nuwa nodded and said, "That's right. It is said that Di Jun and Tai Yi took the lead first, inviting the two Taiyin Goddesses and my elder brother to accompany them. Later, they invited the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother to return to Xikunlun together. They then came to pay their respects to us on the way."

Then, somehow, the news got out, and the other junior disciples also felt this was an opportunity, so they all rushed to Kunlun Mountain. In the end, everyone came together.

Upon hearing this, the other five immediately began to ponder. Anyone could lead, but it was Di Jun Taiyi who had chosen to lead—there seemed to be some hidden secret they should know but hadn't noticed.

Not only these five people were speculating, but even Nuwa had many thoughts on the matter. However, no matter what they thought, they still didn't know what these people were doing here.

Could it be that it really was just a simple visit?

"Whatever their purpose in coming here, since they have a reason to pay their respects, let's go and see. I really don't believe they'd dare to act recklessly on Mount Kunlun."

Yuanshi Tianzun said calmly, then took the lead and led the group out of the mountain without the slightest hesitation or fear.

Even the others were the same, all looking completely calm. What was fear? What good would it do?

So after these people left, for a time, only a body without any soul floated quietly in this secret room, with only occasional inexplicable power of the Great Dao descending from the sky and surging into this body.

If Shen Ni's remnant soul were here, it would surely recognize that this was his own path of slaughter!

Under the careful protection of these six disciples of the sages, Guang Chengzi's body, even after the threat of the remnant soul of Shen Ni was removed, continued to receive all of Shen Ni's origins with a mysterious power.

In other words, Guang Chengzi can be considered as Shen Ni's resurrected body, and his physical body and soul are still Guang Chengzi's. He is just wearing a skin on the surface to deceive Shen Ni's Hunyuan Dao Fruit and slowly steal Shen Ni's power.

Even more so because of Guang Chengzi's acquired divine body, Shen Ni's Primordial Dao Fruit favored this body more than other resurrected bodies.

Before Guang Chengzi could even call out to himself, a continuous stream of power had already flowed into his body, showing just how much he was favored.

However, the stolen power was absorbed into the stone gourd that Guang Chengzi had refined in his early years, since Yuanshi Tianzun was extremely picky about Guang Chengzi's future.

Even Laozi's Immortal Jade Pill was not allowed to be swallowed directly by Guang Chengzi. Instead, he wanted Guang Chengzi to slowly familiarize himself with its power before allowing him to breathe it in within a limited range. How much less would he want to directly devour the power of Shen Ni's own body?

This was something that Yuanshi Tianzun found even more unacceptable. In the beginning, Guang Chengzi's cultivation could indeed advance by leaps and bounds, but the further he cultivated, the smaller his future became.

In the end, it might even become an incarnation of Shen Ni. At that point, even if Shen Ni is not resurrected, it will be no different from him coming back to life.

Therefore, rather than letting these forces defile Guang Chengzi's physical body, it would be better to transform them into a treasure, using it as a protective artifact to safeguard Guang Chengzi.

As for Guang Chengzi's own will, it remained at the highest point of the primordial world, observing the complete primordial world and experiencing its unimaginable magnificence and beauty.

He didn't know how much time had passed—perhaps eternity, or perhaps just a moment—but Guang Chengzi felt his previously perfect will suddenly withdraw from perfection, replaced by a rapidly falling gaze.

He has already departed from the commanding heights of the primordial world and returned to his own perspective.
