Chapter 876 - 793: The Old Covenant
At this moment,
in a void outside the Wu Huang Realm,
"Young Master...you've finally come back to life!"
Yang Tian's Protector, Yang Chengxuan, was now streaming with tears, crying his old heart out.
Before him, Yang Tian had indeed been reborn, with a stream of white mist still lingering around his body.
—They had been sent out of the Martial Desolate Realm by Martial Sub-Honored using Great Magical Power and appeared in this space.
The first thing Yang Chengxuan did was to ask Ao Wushuang to save Yang Tian.
Now, finally, Yang Tian had come back to life.
In fact, the Mana left by Martial Sub-Honored was extraordinary; after Ao Wushuang provided a stream of Primordial Qi, his body naturally reshaped itself.
Even more perfect than before!
Yang Tian felt somewhat dazed and said,
"I'm still alive...what happened?"
"In my mind, there are many more Martial Dao Laws...they're incredibly defying!"
"I feel like the potential in my body is stronger than before...what's going on?"
He was extremely surprised.
Yang Chengxuan said, "Young Master, Martial Sub-Honored turned you into a pulp to bestow upon you the Martial Sovereign Method, to remove the curses in your cultivation and to leave a sliver of life force!"
"Of course, most importantly, Mr. Ao, being greatly kind and righteous, gave you a stream of his Primordial Qi, which aided in your rebirth!"
He solemnly introduced the man beside him, Ao Wushuang.
Ao Wushuang, upon seeing Yang Tian alive again, was also somewhat shocked.
He had not expected that his Primordial Qi could actually revive Yang Tian, who was left with merely a wisp of life?
Was his Primordial Qi really so useful?
At this moment, he suddenly felt that he... seemed to be able to go out and sell it!
What a great pathway to wealth!
"Thank you, Mr. Ao, for saving my life!"
Yang Tian then knelt before Ao Wushuang!
Ao Wushuang replied bluntly, "No need for thanks, just give me money!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Tian paused, finding his lifesaver… to be quite unique.
Yet, he did not hesitate and handed over all the storage rings and other items he had on him to Ao Wushuang.
"Mr. Ao, these are all the Origin Stones I am carrying, three hundred thousand top-quality Origin Stones, please accept them with a smile!"
Ao Wushuang grabbed them all in one swoop and said,
"Good, we're even now, goodbye!"
With that, Ao Wushuang turned and fled.
The strange village of Xiemeng had been doggedly after him... He could no longer stay in the Martial Desolate Realm.
He must escape!
His figure disappeared like a swift breeze in the blink of an eye.
"This benefactor...so fast."
Yang Tian was somewhat stunned.
"The Primordial essence melded into his two legs... is truly remarkable!"
Protector Yang Chengxuan couldn't help but express his admiration!
However, at this moment,
A strand of Qi from the Martial Desolate Realm spread out, leaking directly into the space they were in!
"What kind of Qi is this?"
Yang Chengxuan's face changed dramatically.
Yang Tian also shocked, said,
"The aura of the Martial Path...but it's even stronger than the List of Martial Lords, could it be... a Martial Venerate has appeared?"
At this moment, having received various techniques from the List of Martial Lords, his sensitivity to Martial Dao far exceeded his past self, and he could sense the source of this Qi...
It's very likely to be a Martial Venerate!
"No... there are no more Martial Venerates in this world, only an Evil Corpse..."
"The Ban Explorers actually got their hands on it and released the Evil Corpse?"
Yang Tian's face reflected some reluctance, saying,
"Is there truly no one in the Guardians who still abides by the 'Ancient Pact'? To actually let the Ban Explorers release the Evil Corpse..."
Beside him, Protector Yang Chengxuan shook his head and said,
"According to the Ancient Pact, the Nine Laws are the laws that defy heaven. It only requires twelve Cultivators who have reached the ultimate state of the Nine Laws to simultaneously perform the rite of sacrifice, and all beings within the Ancestral Realm can overcome the greatest obstacle and successfully ascend the Ascendant Path... and those who have reached the ultimate state of the Nine Laws will also find their opportunity for Dao confirmation at the time of the world's ascension."
"However, the Ultimate Beings in the Sacrificial Temple have always been divided on this method of 'ascension of the whole world,' with many believing it to be unfeasible..."
He seemed to think of something, and an inexplicable sadness surfaced on his old face, saying:
"Only the two old ancestors from our Yang Clan and Jiang Clan went against heaven's will and performed the 'Mortal Sacrifice' according to the ancient rites in defiance of heaven..."
```
"As a result, the Yang Family is left only with Young Master you, and the entire Jiang Clan has disappeared... Even the two ancestors who had reached the peak of the Nine Laws' Ultimate Practitioner faced a bizarre fate, and nobody knows whether they are alive or dead."
"Since then, the Guardians have increasingly abandoned the old covenant of 'Sacrificial Rites'; in fact, they even wish to negotiate and cooperate with the Ban Explorers, releasing the Evil Corpse, in order to reconnect with the Sea of Grey Mist..."
"Because if the Ultimate Beings dare not traverse the ascendant path of the Nine Laws, they are left with no choice but to select the practices of the World of Grey Mist..."
He sighed deeply and said,
"...In those days, the one at The End of Myriad Paths, to guard the Ancestral Realm, cleaved the Heavenly Abyss with a single sword strike, preventing beings within the Sea of Grey Mist from crossing even one step..."
"Now, the Ultimate Beings in the Sacrificial Temple, in their pursuit of enlightenment, are about to destroy her painstaking efforts in an instant..."
"Young Master, a great upheaval is coming... Once the bridge between the Sea of Grey Mist and the Ancestral Realm is rebuilt, what will happen is unimaginable."
The Yang Family was a top-level family among the Guardians; the old ancestor Yang Daomei was once a Nine Laws' Ultimate Practitioner.
Therefore, Yang Chengxuan and Yang Tian were privy to many top secrets.
Upon hearing this, Yang Tian fell into a deep silence.
He clenched his fists and, after a long while, said:
"I need to rise quickly!"
"In this life, there are no ten Honored, no one from The End of Myriad Paths... we can only rely on ourselves!"
...
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
Outside the Wu Huang Realm, amidst the void, atop a battleship,
a middle-aged man in black robes stood at the bow, his complexion extraordinarily grave.
"I've sensed the aura of a Martial Honor..."
He muttered lowly,
"It shouldn't be... the 'Divine Bone' hasn't been brought here yet, how could the Evil Corpse be awakened?"
"Could it have been the doing of Zhao Jixiao and the others?"
—This middle-aged man, named Song Jiyuan, is a Tomb Explorer Envoy of the Ban-Exploring Organization.
This time, as arranged by the organization, he was responsible for transporting a "Divine Bone" over.
That Divine Bone contained some kind of mysterious power capable of activating the Martial Venerate Evil Corpse!
However, what Song Jiyuan did not expect was that upon just arriving at the Wu Huang Realm... he felt the emanation of a Martial Honor's birthright?
This was very surprising to him.
With Zhao Jixiao and the rest, at most they could locate the position of the Martial Venerate Evil Corpse; it was unlikely that they could awaken it...
"No matter what, I still have to make a trip to the Wu Huang Realm!"
He murmured, pulling out a Jade Box.
Inside the Jade Box, there was a forearm bone!
That arm bone was grey, resembling stone, covered in dense, intricate cracks.
"This Divine Bone is the body of the 'Forbidden Master'..."
Song Jiyuan whispered to himself.
The Forbidden Master was the leader of their Ban-Exploring Organization, said to date back to before The Era of the Ancient White Mist.
Inside the body of the Forbidden Master, a bizarre and violent power was hidden, capable of activating the brand within the Evil Corpse, bringing it back to life.
Moreover, the brand within the Evil Corpse could also repair the cracks on the Forbidden Master's skeleton, hastening the Forbidden Master's rebirth!
Now, although it was unclear why the Martial Venerate Evil Corpse was released, he still had to bring the Forbidden Master's bone on a trip to mend the Forbidden Master's bone.
"Someone, call for Zhao Jixiao and the others to confirm their location and have them come to greet me."
Song Jiyuan commanded.
Upon hearing the orders, a Black Robed Figure behind him immediately took out a token and infused it with Mana.
—This token was capable of resonating with the tokens held by Zhao Jixiao and the others.
As Mana infused the token, it immediately lit up.
However, the Black Robed Figure was instantly shocked and exclaimed,
"Sir, it's bad news. Zhao Jixiao, Hei Luo, and the others... they're all dead..."
Upon hearing this, Song Jiyuan's face drastically changed.
What was going on?
"Have all our inside men in the Wu Huang Realm been eradicated?"
He roared.
"No, there's still one left!"
The Black Robed Figure was startled and said,
"He is heading towards us fast, he's very close now!"
With that, the Black Robed Figure abruptly looked up and said, "Sir... he's here."
Song Jiyuan looked up towards the front.
He saw a middle-aged man rapidly approaching, as swift as lightning!
...
...
I shall retire for the evening; you may all withdraw."
