Starting Cultivation During a Trip

Chapter 565: Chapter 278: Corpse Dissolving Immortal—Inhuman! Refining and Nourishing the Primordial Spirit

Natural disasters and earthly calamities converge, the mortal world encounters the true Tai Sui.

Tai Sui, the name of an ancient god, responds above as the Star Monarch, governs below as time passes, holds the fate of mortal fortunes, and intimidates the rotation of zodiacs.

”Tai Sui, Senior Evil!?”

Meng Qiwu stared blankly, gazing at the middle-aged man appearing like a mountain patrol officer in front of him, with sleepy eyes and a scruffy beard. Apart from the faint scar on his face, there seemed to be nothing special about him.

This type of ordinary middle-aged uncle would blend into a crowd without leaving any memory.

Yet now, whether it was Rooster Day of the Metal Mao or Wuma Wuqilu, they were all showing sufficient humility and respect before this man.

”The Human Xiao has not risen, Tai Sui reigns!?” Meng Qiwu’s eyes flickered, chewing over the words Wu Ma Wuqilu had just spoken.

”Girl, you are quite remarkable, whether at my Wuwei Sect or on Zhongnan Mountain...” Senior Evil slightly raised his lips, surveying Meng Qiwu up and down.

”A promising future indeed.”

”I...” Meng Qiwu spoke.

”Step back!”

Senior Evil spoke lightly, his smile faint and ephemeral.

Rumble...

In an instant, Meng Qiwu’s delicate body shuddered violently, her vision became blurred, the figure she saw seemed to disappear, leaving only a nearly unperceivable aura rushing towards her, like the flow of sun and moon, like the confused fog, hiding calamity and ominousness, cloaking mortal danger and fortune.

Buzz...

Meng Qiwu’s Primordial Spirit felt as if it had suffered a severe illness, becoming extremely weak, despite having Triple Primordial Light Protection, it was now dim and dull.

In the next moment, she regained her senses, panting heavily, sweat soaking her clothes as she looked on, Senior Evil remained standing there, unmoved.

Yet, her gaze had changed, a hint of raw fear lurking in the depths of her eyes, she said no more, obediently retreating to the side.

”Tai Sui, Zhang Fan, that little rascal is here too, currently inside Toad Treasure Mountain. He’s breached the Pyramid of Corpses; I’m afraid he’s already entered the main tomb.” Wu Ma Wuqilu said solemnly.

”We’ve already met.”

Senior Evil’s eyes narrowed slightly, looking toward the depths of Toad Treasure Mountain, the corner of his mouth lifted slightly: ”Old acquaintances after many years, meeting again brings much nostalgia...”

”Speaking of which, Linglong was stunning back then, it’s unknown how many Daoist Sect talents she captivated.”

”Sadly... Such a radiant person eventually chose a path of death.”

As he spoke, the faint smile on Senior Evil’s face completely vanished, replaced by an indifference forged by time.

”Have you seen him?” Jin Mao Day and Wu Ma Wuqilu exchanged glances, couldn’t help but ask.

”Then why...”

”Ten years ago, at the foot of Dragon Tiger Mountain, I broke precedent to support Chen Dragon, to settle accounts with the Human Xiao, even involving the Daoist Sect...” Senior Evil said shockingly.

The words hadn’t yet fallen; even Meng Qiwu beside him showed a peculiar expression.

Wu Ma Wuqilu, Jin Mao Day remain silent.

They were all elders among the Thirteen Zodiacs.

Since ancient times, the Thirteen Zodiacs, with humans at the forefront, yet ten years ago, Chen Dragon led a rebellion, suppressing the Human Xiao, which appeared extremely abnormal to outsiders.

Some said, behind Chen Dragon, there was someone supporting, with ambitions deep concealed, not of the ordinary class.

”Such a killing game could allow the father and son to escape unscathed...” Senior Evil said coldly: ”Then I can’t help but suspect...”

”Suspect what?” Wu Ma Wuqilu furrowed his brow, asking deeply.

”Could Li Linglong also not be dead?” Senior Evil said lightly.

”How can this be? How is this possible?” Jin Mao Day’s aged face trembled sharply, immediately shook his head.

”Shattered bones, Primordial Spirit extinguished... Everyone saw it, even if I used Star Fighting Skill to calculate, she’s dead...”

Jin Mao Day’s cloudy eyes flashed a glimpse of cold light.

Such a killing game was meant to eliminate their whole family, father and son barely escaped death, if even Li Linglong wasn’t dead, what would it be?

Only considered a joke!

”In this world, there are never impossible things.” Senior Evil said expressionlessly, lightly.

”She died by your hand; you should know better.” Jin Mao Day glanced sideways, said firmly.

”Indeed!”

Senior Evil’s eyes deepened, instinctively raised his hand touching the faint scar on his face.

”But...”

”Life and death are like illusions, merely the greatest deception in this Red Dust...”

”So, meeting that fellow was testing him?” Wu Ma Wuqilu said suddenly enlightened.

”Did you discover any clues?”

The Thirteen Zodiacs, with humans leading, back then rebelling against Human Xiao involved many of them, if Li Linglong truly wasn’t dead, it would be extremely troublesome.

”None.” Senior Evil shook his head.

At the very least, he did not obtain any valuable clues from Zhang Fan.

”A cup of wine in the peach and plum breeze, Jianghu’s night rain and ten years of lamp...”

Senior Evil’s eyes narrowed slightly, murmuring lightly.

”Ten years have passed, even if she’s not dead, what can she accomplish?”

”Certainly, better if she truly is dead.”

”In this world, there is no place for the dead to stand.”

Rumble...

Suddenly, a loud sound erupted, interminable smoke and dust rose from the depths of Toad Treasure Mountain, the ground shook accordingly.

”The Innate Spirit Embryo has finally emerged.”

Jin Mao Day’s white eyebrows rose, seeing the stars flicker, faintly appearing, dawn falling, great treasure emerging, brilliance overshadowed, tribulations intertwine.

”Amusing how Zhang Fan thinks he’s taken the lead, merely the prelude of calamity.” Wu Ma Wuqilu sneered.

”Let’s go!”

Senior Evil stepped out, striding into the depths of Toad Treasure Mountain, disappearing within the vast night.

...

The ancient and dilapidated temple trembled incessantly, chains around the suspended coffin clanged loudly, emitting piercing metal sounds.
