Chapter 635 - 312: Divine Palace of Dongning, Celestial Official Bai’s Rebirth
Seeing the final part, Wen Jiu finally understood.
It turned out that the two of them had something to ask once again, but to be precise, it wasn’t a big deal, nor was it for themselves.
Rather, it was for Celestial Official Bai.
Indeed.
The only reason they would ask again could only be for their master, Celestial Official Bai.
The remaining content was very concise and straightforward. It was simply that the Celestial Hundred Officials were preparing to possess a new body for resurrection and wanted Elder Han’s assistance. Once a teacher, always a teacher; strictly speaking, Celestial Official Bai was like his grandmaster.
Even if Ye Chen hadn’t mentioned it, he would still have helped. Mainly because assisting a Foundation Establishment cultivator to possess a new body and resurrect was not a difficult task; any mid-to-late-stage Foundation Establishment would do the job. But they still came to him, likely not because of their own idea, but because of Celestial Official Bai. After the calamity of the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, Celestial Official Bai probably no longer dared to trust outsiders, so naturally, he’d trust the one his disciples trusted most.
Since there was such a matter, Wen Jiu conveniently decided to delay his trip to the East Splendor Divine Palace until after the day of the Celestial Hundred Officials’ resurrection through body possession.
Seven days later.
In the midst of the burial ground a hundred miles outside the Immortal City where the Eastern Celestial City was located, on a yin day during yin time, and the burial ground being a yin place.
When Wen Jiu appeared beside the two, Dongfang Tiancheng and Ye Chen hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects, very respectfully.
"Elder Han."
"Respectfully welcoming Elder Han..."
Ye Chen and Dongfang Tiancheng were filled with indescribable gratitude, immediately kneeling upon speaking.
This time, Wen Jiu did not stop them.
At this moment, Celestial Official Bai also drifted out from Dongfang Tiancheng’s body, presenting the image of a vigorous, robust old man, "Thank you, Elder Han, for coming today to protect the way for this junior, and many thanks, too, for looking after my two incompetent disciples on many occasions when I was absent."
"No need to be so courteous; you may start whenever you wish. If there’s any mutation, I’ll assist you with soul power to ensure your integration."
Wen Jiu spoke.
At the same time, he glanced at the young cultivator sealed underground in the stone coffin, whose Divine Soul was about to dissipate from Yin Talisman and poisonous water corrosion. The Corpse Fate Technique revealed that he was a Tribulation Cultivator who killed for treasures, so Wen Jiu said nothing more.
If Celestial Official Bai were to kill an innocent person for his own resurrection, for the sake of Dongfang Tiancheng and Ye Chen, he would not cut off Celestial Official Bai’s path today. After all, finding a compatible soul for possession is not simple. It’s more understandable with Golden Core, but quite difficult with Foundation Establishment; Celestial Official Bai being able to encounter one indicates good fortune.
However, should he truly use an innocent being for possession and resurrection, from then on, Celestial Official Bai would have nothing further to do with him.
Celestial Official Bai expressed deep gratitude and saluted again, also explaining to Wen Jiu the origin of the cultivator in the coffin.
Upon receiving Wen Jiu’s nod, Celestial Official Bai began his possession and resurrection.
During this time, some Foundation Establishment cultivators passed by, attempting to cause trouble, to take advantage of the situation, but were deterred by just a look from Wen Jiu. As for the process of Celestial Official Bai’s possession, Wen Jiu occasionally used soul power to assist, helping him to better integrate with the new body, ensuring no rejection occurred.
A Foundation Establishment Divine Soul cannot achieve this, but his Divine Soul, comparable to the late stage of Golden Core, could easily do so.
As the sky turned light, the young man within the stone coffin sat up, a smile on his lips, his eyes filled with joy. Although his cultivation fell to the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation, this was already a great fortune for Celestial Official Bai.
"Thank you, Elder Han!"
Celestial Official Bai, overjoyed, sat up from the stone coffin and promptly knelt down.
Dongfang Tiancheng and Ye Chen followed, kneeling down as well.
"No need for such courtesy; the road ahead, you must walk on your own." Wen Jiu left with these words, then vanished.
