"The Great Ancestor Memorial Hall?
What is this place? Why does it feel so weird? There's not a single person around! "Fleeting Time Ling asked as he felt a chill run down his spine when he arrived at the final boundary.
"Because there's an existence here that even the immortals of the Heavenly Court are afraid of!"
Artoria carefully looked at a building in the middle of the square … The very existence of this building was very strange.
After more than a thousand years, no matter how prosperous this square was back then, all the buildings had basically become dilapidated ruins.
Only this building in front of her remained the same as it was a thousand years ago. Apart from a lot of dust that had accumulated on it, there was almost no change … There wasn't even a trace of damage. It was exactly the same as it was a thousand years ago, completely isolated from the erosion of time.
"How can this be?
Isn't this too strange?
Could this building be independent of time itself? "Fleeting Time's Rin said in disbelief as he caressed the sturdy wall.
"Because a great man is buried here!"
Artoria's eyes were filled with fear as she looked at the building and said, "When he was alive, all the gods and immortals in the world trembled in fear because of him. There was no place for these gods and buddhas in the world.
Only after he passed away did these hypocrites resurface. "
"So even after he died, the people of the Heavenly Court didn't dare to go near this area. Even when they walked, they would avoid this area … Even time doesn't dare to erode his power. That's why it's still in its original state after a thousand years!"
"But thanks to the protection of this great man, the souls of the Great Sage scattered here are the safest. The people of the Heavenly Court don't even dare to go near this place. As long as we don't offend him, we can quickly complete our mission!"
"By the way, you'd better stay away from this building. Don't be disrespectful to this great man!" Artoria said in a very respectful manner and tone.
"Scary!"
Fleeting Time Ling snuck a peek at the building, and felt a deep sense of shock in his heart. It was as if someone was knocking on his heart.
This gave Liunian Ling a big fright. This descendant of the Liunian Family had lived for so long, but she had never seen such a terrifying building. Just the power of its death was enough to make an immortal sword wielder tremble in fear.
"Let's not talk about it. Let's hurry and collect the souls of the Great Sage here!"
Gu Han also felt that this place was strange and frightening. Without saying a word, he used the Immortality Peach Tree to collect the souls of the Great Sages in the area … The entire mission was carried out very quickly. There were no interruptions at all, and the work was unexpectedly completed.
"System: Hidden Instance Dungeon Quest Four completed. All the wandering souls have been collected.
"System: Hidden Instance Dungeon Quest Five has been generated. Please return to Lu Ban's side immediately and prepare to resurrect the deceased Great Sage."
When the last soul floated into the Peach Tree of Immortality, Guhan and Liunian Ling heard the dungeon's notification at the same time. This made Liunian Ling heave a sigh of relief. She did not expect this mission, which took the longest time, to be completed so easily and happily.
"Alright!
All the collection missions have been completed!
Let's go back quickly! "Artoria urged them.
"No …" To everyone's surprise, Guhan shook his head and rejected. "It's not time to go back yet. Don't we still have the soul of a Great Sage that we haven't collected?"
"That's impossible!
We've collected the souls of six Great Sages!
I've calculated it, it can't be wrong! "Artoria said in shock.
"That's right!
Guhan, didn't you receive the mission notification?
The souls of the six Great Sages have indeed been collected! "Liunian Ling also whispered in Guhan's ear.
"These six souls have indeed been collected, but have you forgotten that there's still the soul of the seventh Great Sage?" Guhan said faintly.
…
"You're absolutely crazy. You actually want to resurrect the soul of the accomplice of the Heavenly Court!"
On the way to the destination, Artoria chattered in Guhan's ear. She still did not understand why Guhan wanted to resurrect the seventh Great Sage. That guy was obviously the culprit who caused the failure of the six Great Sages 800 years ago.
Yes, that's right. The person Guhan was planning to resurrect at this time was the Emperor Sword Level sword-bearer who had been brainwashed by the Heavenly Court to become a Sword Immortal 800 years ago. It was also with the help of this sword-bearer that the Heavenly Court blocked the attack of the six Great Sages and delayed the return of the rest of the Desolation Level powerhouses. In the end, the six Great Sages were forced to self-destruct, causing the remaining human forces and Yuan Kou's forces to live a miserable life of hiding for 800 years.
However, this sword-bearer's fate was not good either. In the end, the Heavenly Court killed him after he had outlived his usefulness, and he also ended up self-destructing. His soul floated somewhere in this world, just like the six Great Sages.
"The enemy of our enemy is our friend. Since she was betrayed by the Heavenly Court, her heart must be filled with hatred towards the Heavenly Court. So if we can resurrect her, she will definitely stand on our side!" Guhan answered Artoria.
"That's not necessarily true!
His hands were stained with our blood back then. Maybe the first thing he will do after resurrection will still be to kill us, "Artoria said.
"Believe me!
She will stand on our side! "Guhan said with certainty. No one knew where his confidence came from.
"Alright!
Even if he will stand on our side, the most important problem is that we don't have his truesoul. Without his truesoul, we can't resurrect him at all! Do you understand?! "
Artoria said angrily. "The reason we were able to resurrect the six Great Sages was because they left their truesouls in the peach tree of immortality. At the same time, they borrowed the power of the peach tree to preserve their truesouls for thousands of years, giving them the opportunity to resurrect."
"But this Heavenly Court's lackey is different. Even if he left his truesoul behind, it will still be in the hands of the Heavenly Court. In any case, it won't be in our hands.
Without the True Spirit in hand, resurrecting him is impossible. "
"You don't have to worry about that!
I have her truesoul! "
Guhan replied calmly. At the same time, he touched his ring finger, where he wore an aquamarine ring.
…
Under Artoria's lead, Guhan and the others finally arrived at the peak of Kunlun Mountain in the far west. "It's here. If our information is correct, this is where the guy's soul fell!"
"It was said that this was the Queen Mother's palace. Later, the Queen Mother tricked the Heavenly Court's lackey into coming here. At the same time, she ambushed four Desolate-Level experts to kill him. In the end, he had no choice but to self-destruct. However, after he self-destructed, the Queen Mother's palace was completely destroyed. This place has become a barren land with nothing but ice and snow," Artoria said calmly.
Following that, Gu Han and the rest spent nearly half a day searching the entire Kunlun Mountain carefully. When they finally regrouped at the peak of Kunlun Mountain, they were shocked to find that there was not a single soul in the entire Kunlun Mountain.
"It seems like the Heavenly Court's lackey's soul isn't here!"
It seemed like this result was what Artoria had hoped for. When Artoria said this, she felt a little relaxed.
"Either our information is wrong, and the lackey didn't die at the peak of Kunlun Mountain. After all, this is information from 800 years ago. After we received this information, we didn't spend any effort to verify it. It's very normal for there to be mistakes."
"Another possibility is that the Heavenly Court has completely destroyed that lackey's soul in order to avoid future troubles … I think the latter possibility is very likely. After all, it's such a powerful enemy. Only by completely destroying it can the Heavenly Court feel at ease!"
"Moreover, his soul isn't like the souls of the six Great Sages. It's a bait to lure us out. His soul has no value. Destroying it is the right thing to do!"
Artoria said with certainty. Her analysis was very reasonable. Even Liunian Ling could not help but nod in agreement. She felt that the truth should be as Artoria said.
"No!
Her soul is here, I'm sure! "
To Artoria and Liunian Ling's surprise, Guhan actually told them this with a very certain expression.
"Why are you so sure?" Artoria asked with a frown.
"Because of my intuition!" Guhan said faintly.
"What a ridiculous feeling … Aren't you people from another dimension?
How can you feel the same as the people from our world? "
Artoria rolled her eyes at Guhan. "Forget it, if you want to find it, I won't accompany you. But you two better hurry up.
Master Lu Ban seemed to have said that you only had a week.
Three days have passed, and you only have four days left. If you can't wipe out the Heavenly Court in four days, you may never be able to go back! "
"What the hell … I actually thought that you guys could really destroy the Celestial Court in four days … What a joke …" Artoria muttered to herself, looking like a sulking teenage girl. She was extremely cute.
"Guhan, is this written in that strategy book?"
Seeing Artoria leave in a sulk, Liunian Ling moved closer to Guhan and asked softly.
"No!
The contents of that walkthrough are basically useless. That's the walkthrough for the 120-mission! "Gu Han shrugged his shoulders as he spoke.
"Then why are you so sure?" Liunian Ling could not understand.
"I said it!
This is my feeling! "Guhan thought for a moment and then said," This is a feeling of love! "
"Love your ass …" Liunian Ling also rolled her eyes and followed Artoria's example. She ran to the side to rest and no longer wanted to talk to Guhan.
