Chapter 869 - 244: Southern Dipper

Chapter 869: Chapter 244: Southern Dipper

She had etched, "Never trust the surface appearances of an extraterrestrial star, whether in looks or personality," into her mind.

In the next moment, the Firefly Demon bent down, and suddenly pupils began to appear in her pure white eyes, one by one, like stars igniting against a white canvas.

She casually said, "Go."

As her words fell, those streaks of ghostly blue light burst and scattered out of her pupils like sparks, as if they were souls wandering in the long sky.

These souls naturally flew far away.

The blind beauty retracted her ability, closed her eyes, and sat cross-legged.

At dusk, the sound of rustling emerged from the surrounding shady woods and tall grass.

However, it was six people dressed in varying attire.

Two dressed as peasants, one as a merchant, two as servants, and one as a lady...

But regardless of their status, when these people arrived, they respectfully and reverently looked at the blind beauty, saying in unison, "Greetings, master."

These people still looked the same, but their souls had been usurped.

They were ancient people from the "human sacrifice" of that time, several Martial Artists from a certain family.

Of course, the entire family had been sacrificed to appease the Divine Spirit.

Then their Divine Souls, memories, and power were "stripped" and "stored" by the Divine Spirit.

The blind beauty quickly departed enveloped by these six people, soon boarding a carriage, changing her clothes, and then taking a good bath in the best room of the inn she checked into next.

Li Yuan watched quietly, resting his chin, pondering, and then concluded: The Firefly Demon had strengthened, much more than before.

If she had possessed this method earlier, the upheaval caused by the Lotus Sect would have been even greater.

"Indeed, she has been wronged during this time, just pretending to be a pig and not eating the tiger, haha."

So, what brought about the change?

Li Yuan’s smile suddenly dimmed.

Sister Yan had told him that Jade Remains like Peng Mingyi rose with the "Evil Ghost."

When the Evil Ghost is strong, they become strong.

This is completely different from Xiaozhao.

Sister Yan is an absolute anomaly, as is Xiaozhao, because other Jade Remains are children born of mortals, yet Xiaozhao is extremely complex, leading to Xiaozhao being an independent "entity."

At this moment, the strength of the Firefly Demon clearly signifies that "Ghost Lake" has gained the upper hand in merging with the Underworld.

"Sister Yan, don’t let anything happen..."

Li Yuan muttered in his heart, knowing that mere prayers were of no avail.

His mind spun rapidly, assembling information gathered from the Firefly Demon over time, attempting to find some solutions.

Extraterrestrial stars are eternal...

The Southern Dipper awakens, and in this world, what it seeks must align with the Ghost Lake...

Yin Yang Diversion, seeking only the activation of three Ancient Halls...

Human sacrifice, mountain and river sacrifice...

The strengthening of the Firefly Demon signifies Ghost Lake’s ascendancy...

...

Behind the Dragon Vein there must be an Emperor Star...

There is more than one extraterrestrial star...

Thirty thousand years ago the Xia Dynasty emerged, the Shang Dynasty five thousand years ago, and the Great Zhou was founded over a thousand years ago, whereas the Sect Leader’s Gate of the East Sea Immortal Realm is three to four thousand years old, indicating they all emerged after the Shang, but now their longevity has mostly passed.

The Divine Spirits in the Western Pole Divine Tomb would actually only be the strong since the Xia Dynasty, but that tomb was not their creation; it originally existed in this world as a mysterious place.

The Ghost Realm merges, and if one side is close to victory, the rest is just slow swallowing and assimilation...

He walked, thinking.

Countless thoughts intertwined.

Suddenly, Li Yuan stopped his steps; his pupils contracted but quickly relaxed, then he gently shook his head and sighed, seeming somewhat hesitant.

...

...

June.

A rumor spread across the Southern Land.

If one wants to advance further and enter the Immortal Realm, they should head to the Star Sea Dao at Moon River Beach before midnight at the end of the year.

By then, someone will welcome them into a Supreme Influence.

And this Supreme Influence freely offers cultivation methods above the Fourth Grade.

Once the rumor emerged, it exploded like droplets of water in hot oil.

Li Yuan walked in the Southern Land.

In just six years, the once-blood-energized Third Grade Meat Field had degraded to a Ninth Grade Meat Field, and it’s imaginable... soon "Meat Field" will disappear from here.

The Yama Goddess Temple, once echoing month after month, year after year with the Community Drum, now seemed a bit desolate, though people still occasionally went to offer incense, feeling protected by the Lady Yama, yet she was ultimately gone.

Thus, it won’t be long before this bustling temple will be completely abandoned, becoming a roadside wild Mountain God’s temple amidst the wilderness.

The Judge, Wendao Palace, and Independent Martial Artists were all gone, and anyone at the Sixth Grade was eager to head near the Central Capital.

However... those Martial Artists who had fled south didn’t dare to return.

They hid here, or roamed outside, or disguised as common people hiding in workshops, while barely maintaining their realm by hunting Demon Beasts in the south.

The rumor of "joining a Supreme Influence" now reached their ears.

Discussions began everywhere.

...

At the edge of the Sunset Rainforest, inside a tent.

A woman in white robes bore the Black and White Sword on her back, with a Wine Gourd at her waist.

Her brows lacked the usual rampant vigor, replaced by some gloominess and worry. This was Gu Xuejian.

Across from her was a man with a scholar’s demeanor, though he too seemed to have had his edges worn down by reality and appeared weary. This was Yan Mu, gravely injured and unconscious in the Emperor’s pursuing army, only barely recovering after two years.

On the other side was a man expelling poison from a wound, an Elder of the Cui Family, but not Cui Wuji. In face of the Emperor’s pursuing army, Cui Wuji had already fallen in battle.
