At dawn that day, after learning the Qi Source Flow, Wugensheng remained silent for a long time. His self-esteem was shattered, and his life felt like a deliberately arranged joke.
At this point, his desire to die grew even stronger; if only everything could end in the southern borderlands...
The next day.
The nine men reunited, and those brothers who did not want Wugensheng to die in vain, after several days of discussion, came up with an alternative solution.
"Fourth Brother... since you want to go to the Southern Frontier to find your daughter and bring her back."
"Then how about... we build you a new one?"
The speaker was Ma Benzai, who carefully considered his words before speaking:
"Everyone's here. I'll create the physical body, Yingzi will modify the memories, and Twenty-Two Brother will take a wisp of your soul, modify it, and then lock it inside the body..."
"Aren't you afraid of divine retribution for doing this?"
Wugensheng was intrigued; this method was indeed feasible. Although the daughter created wouldn't be the original, if... if they were extremely similar, it might even constitute a kind of rebirth...
"Fine, let's call it divine retribution."
Ruan Fengmo laughed nonchalantly, "Fourth Brother, you dug up the tomb of the founder of the Golden Core Sect to steal secrets from heaven for us. If there is any retribution, none of us will escape. Since that's the case, why not go with the flow and take a gamble?"
“I can alter the surrounding atmosphere. The timing, location, and people are all in place. Fourth Brother... if we don’t take another step forward now, when will we?”
Zhou Sheng genuinely wanted to help Wugensheng.
"Fourth Brother...give it a try."
"We can avenge my niece another time; there's no need to rush."
"Yes, let's be patient for a decade or so. Once we've mastered our skills, we'll help you go back and take that old monster's life."
The crowd earnestly persuaded him, and Wugensheng accepted their kindness, bowing respectfully to them.
"Thank...thank you everyone...I'll owe you all this for the rest of my life..."
"You're too kind. We're all brothers, come on!" Feng Tianyang laughed heartily.
Immediately, the nine people reached a consensus, and an unprecedented feat of creating life began in secret.
Zhou Sheng modified the terrain and arranged the energy pattern, turning the underground cave into a feng shui treasure land, gathering the spiritual energy of the surrounding mountains and rivers.
Ma Ben was taking the flesh and blood of Wugensheng and cultivating it through divine refinement. Enveloped in countless shimmering white rays of light, the lump of flesh and blood began to grow wildly, gradually evolving into a human form.
Duanmu Ying extracted memories from the depths of Wugensheng's brain, modified and filled them in, and through detailed conversations, reconstructed most of Feng Ying's memories.
Feng Tianyang uses a portion of Wugensheng's soul, sorts and resets it, and continuously cultivates it to a complete state.
Ruan Feng, in cooperation with Ma Benzai, fused some of the Six Treasures Immortal Thief's abilities into his physical body, keeping it from decaying.
Zheng Zibu and Zhang Huaiyi were responsible for protecting the Dharma.
Finally, as the soul and memories were continuously infused into the newborn body, Gu Qiting's Great Luo Cave Observation revealed the entire process of evolution and constantly reminded Ma Benzai and Duanmu Ying to make changes in certain overlooked details.
Several days passed.
Nine people surrounded the sleeping girl. Gu Qiting looked somewhat solemn and asked in confusion:
"You've followed all the steps perfectly, but if she wakes up, perhaps... it won't be that person, or perhaps she won't wake up at all..."
"Human effort has been exhausted; the rest is up to fate."
Zhou Sheng sighed. This was the first time he had ever done something so crazy, but unfortunately, his intuition told him that it wouldn't succeed.
Wugensheng waited in vain, and soon signs of failure arrived.
The grayish-white soul shattered, turning into wisps of shimmering light that seeped out from the body, and Feng Tianyang's Spirit Binding Technique could not contain it at all.
Following this, the memories created by Duanmu Ying gradually collapsed, violently repelling the brain...
Upon witnessing this scene, Wugensheng's breathing quickened, and a look of sorrow appeared in his eyes.
He knew... even if he failed to forge a replica, Feng Ying would never have another chance to come back.
"Ugh......"
"That's fine then..."
Wugensheng no longer wanted to look at the girl lying on the rock. No matter how similar the carving was, she was nothing more than a dead object.
"Thank you all."
Wugensheng sighed dejectedly, exchanged a few pleasantries with the crowd, then ignored their advice, turned and left, embarking on his own journey to death.
"Fourth Brother!! Are you just going to give up like this?!"
"Fourth Brother? What about her?"
"Fourth Brother!! Wait!"
"I'm tired... You can do whatever you want with this replica."
Wugensheng walked further and further away, leaving behind these words before disappearing at the cave's exit.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"Should we take it with us? Or bury it?" Maben asked, seeking the opinions of the others.
Zhou Sheng's hand approached the girl's cheek, feeling her warm breath, but there was no sign of her waking up; she was in a state of being alive but dead.
He thought for a moment, then offered his suggestion:
"Let her stay here. With the protection of the Qi, it's good for her to rest here forever. There's no need to bury her."
Everyone agreed. Having been cut off from the outside world for so long, they had no idea what the current state of the martial arts world was like, and decided to go out and find out.
"Gentlemen, we'll meet again someday."
"There is ample time."
The eight men left the mountain and went their separate ways.
Chapter 201 Emerging from Seclusion and Entering the World
The 13th day of the seventh lunar month.
Having successfully completed his decapitation mission, Will returned safely to Trinity Gate, having traveled thousands of kilometers in just over ten days.
He found Dou Hong hiding in Cangqing Village in the ancient city of Linbei, fought fiercely with him and the chief of Cangqing Village, and defeated them with overwhelming force. He then calmly left and headed south to the East China Sea to a fishing island in the near sea to assassinate Fang Ying.
"That's basically the situation..."
“I gave those who were obstructing me a chance along the way, but they refused to leave, so I dealt with them all.”
Listening to Will's report, Chengzhen was not much of a stir about this expected event, and simply asked a casual question.
Are you injured?
"No."
"Rest for a few days, then prepare to come down the mountain with me."
With mid-July fast approaching, Chengzhen figured that if his master didn't emerge from seclusion soon, he would lead a group of disciples to besiege Wugensheng.
Will is also an indispensable and important combat force. He is not on the same level as ordinary grandmasters in the martial arts world. He can at least fight Jiang Mo for more than ten rounds and survive, which is already an extremely powerful existence.
"good....."
Will didn't pry too much. He felt that the young man's strength was becoming increasingly unfathomable. If given the chance, he would really like to spar with him.
Chengzhen watched the protector leave, then said gently to Zhuge Yu beside her, "Go, help me find your senior brother Changqing, senior brother Shuiyun, and Xiao Lu to come over."
"Okay, senior brother, please wait a moment."
Upon hearing the order, Zhuge Yu hurriedly put down the bone pagoda he was still polishing, dusted himself off, got up, and rushed downstairs to find the three people at the shooting range and martial arts training ground on the back mountain.
A quarter of an hour later.
On the fourth floor of the Sutra Repository, Chengzhen held a letter and slowly moved it to the center of the tea table, saying:
"Everyone, do you still remember the agreement with Wanxiang Hall?"
"I remember, senior brother."
"Before our sect leader went into seclusion, he instructed me that if any demons were to appear, I would lead the sect to hunt them down. Currently, among the disciples in the sect, you all possess the highest level of cultivation in the Reverse Rebirth technique. Is there anyone who wants to go?"
As soon as Chengzhen finished speaking, Lu Jin responded, "Senior brother, I'll go."
“I’ll go too,” Shuiyun chimed in.
"And me too." Changqing smiled slightly.
"You're all going, you can't leave me out, can you?" Zhuge Yu had prepared quite a few nice things.
All three of them shared this idea. They regretted not going to the war between the Sanyi Sect and the Quanxing Sect, or the battle against the demon at Longhu Mountain. Now that they had another chance, they certainly didn't want to miss it again.
"Okay... let's go together then."
Chengzhen made a decision and arranged the next steps:
"The sect will be guarded by other disciples and You Sha; I already discussed this with her yesterday."
"If our sect leader hasn't emerged from seclusion in three more days, then we'll set off."
"Ah."
........
Back mountain.
The crystal-clear, egg-shaped substance in the pool was covered with dense cracks. Suddenly, a pair of slender hands tore it open along the cracks.
"Wow!"
In an instant, the egg membrane covering his entire body, like cotton wool being devoured by flames, vanished, and a figure that had returned to its original simplicity sat there quietly.
Jiang Mo.
After more than a year of seclusion, it finally came to an end. His eyes were deep, his hair was white as frost, and his handsome face had lost its former sharpness, replaced by composure and gentleness.
His upright physique revealed flawless skin and perfect bones. Every inch of his flesh and blood had been tempered to the extreme, containing unimaginable vitality. Overall, he did not look thin or weak, nor strong, but just right, in a balance between the two.
A faint, reddish-gold vertical line between his brows exudes a weathered, detached air, as if surveying the world from above.
"Pfft!"
Jiang Mo took off his old clothes, leaned back and sank into the pool, splashing up waves as he bathed and cleansed himself in the clear, bubbling spring water.
About half an hour later, he dragged his wet body ashore. The water droplets evaporated instantly. He changed into a white robe, and his gaze pierced through the layers of mountains and forests. When he saw the brightly lit sect, a relieved smile slowly rose on his face.
He started walking through the night forest, bathed in the bright moonlight, and returned to the scripture pavilion.
"clatter....."
"clatter...."
"clatter...."
The long-awaited footsteps and that all-too-familiar scent suddenly brought a look of joy and excitement to Chengzhen, who was still discussing plans with his junior brothers.
"Uncle Master!"
"He is back!!"
"Martial Uncle?!"
Before Lu Jin and the other three could be more shocked, a long-awaited greeting rang out from behind them, at the entrance to the fourth floor.
"exist."
"Long time no see, how have you been?"
As Jiang Mo arrived, Lu Jin, Zhuge Yu, Chang Qing, and Shui Yun all turned around. When they saw the white-haired youth walking towards them, they all revealed a surge of joy.
"Uncle Master!"
"You've finally emerged from seclusion!!"
"It has been a year since we last met, and I have missed you dearly."
"Look, Uncle-Master, look at the little gadget I made."
Chengzhen welcomed Jiang Mo to sit down and asked him, "Little Lu, Junior Brother Zhuge, quickly go and fetch some of the best tea leaves."
"Uncle-Master, have you not eaten yet? I'll go and make you some congee right away," Shuiyun asked with concern.
