Chapter 970: Chapter 968: Master’s Flesh and Blood

Zi Ji solemnly composed herself, her whole being becoming grave. She had heard of this name before—Mortal Startling Guest—meaning, he came from the mortal world.

Later, there were two more words: Jiu Yue.

An Order God from the Era of Creation, a true immortal being.

Zi Ji waved her jade hand: "Everyone, retreat."

Whoosh!

The mighty ones of Luo Feng Mountain, including some Loose Cultivators and certain factions’ Qi Refiners, all retreated at this moment.

Zi Ji walked step by step towards the forbidden area and then bowed: "The contemporary Nether Emperor of the Netherworld greets you, Senior."

Jiu Yue looked at her without saying a word, only after a long while did he extend a hand, clenching it into a fist.

When that hand was before Zi Ji, it slowly opened, revealing a cluster of light in the palm, but its sheen was dim and flickering, as if it might extinguish at any moment.

The aura emanating from within shook Zi Ji’s heart, revealing an expression of shock: "Senior."

This was a wisp of Wen Yuqing’s blood and flesh.

It had lost all Vitality Power, including Divinity.

Yet Zi Ji trembled, her nose sour, she stretched her hands shakily to receive Wen Yuqing’s blood and flesh from Jiu Yue’s palm.

Ah!

Jiu Yue sighed lightly, the sound still hoarse: "She’s tired."

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, he guided Wenliang to establish the Wen Dynasty, gathering power of faith, then witnessed the dynasty’s destruction and the massacre of billions of souls.

Only Wen Yuqing survived.

Through these hundreds of thousands of years, he watched Wen Yuqing reincarnate, awaken, start anew, stumble, reincarnate, and return again and again.

Endlessly advancing, never weary of beginning anew.

Each time was painful, but she gritted her teeth and endured.

Now, it finally ended, and she was liberated.

Yet in this world, there is no more Wen Yuqing.

Zi Ji couldn’t contain her emotions, gently wiping away the shimmering tears: "Can I still resurrect my master?"

Jiu Yue remained silent.

Zi Ji was breathless and asked again: "Senior, do you know my senior brother? How is he now?"

"I don’t know!" Jiu Yue shook his head.

"Has the mortal world already been invaded by the Divine Clan?"

"Soon."

"I understand." Zi Ji proudly lifted her head: "Thank you, Senior, for returning my master." With that, she left the forbidden area.

After returning to Luo Feng Mountain, she quickly summoned all the mighty ones, with only one goal: "With a piece of blood and flesh, how can one be resurrected?"

The General: "..."

Soldier King: "..."

Qi Refiners: "..."

The mystique of spirit qi cultivators is that the higher the realm, the harder to kill.

Even in battle, even if the meat body is torn apart by a strong enemy or explodes, as long as the Divine Soul remains and is strong enough, and the body’s Divinity still exists, and Vitality Power can still flow, it can almost always be reconstituted, avoiding true death.

But once slain, the Divine Soul perishes, the Life Origin completely withers, even with a piece of flesh remaining, resurrection becomes impossible.

Because the independent consciousness is already entirely extinguished.

At this time, an elderly Qi Refiner inquired: "Is it a spirit qi cultivator? Or a Qi Refiner?"

"A spirit qi cultivator." Zi Ji replied.

"Perhaps, there’s hope for resurrection in the deepest part of the Valley of Death, but it’s slim and too terrifying there, with many unknown dangers lurking, not recommended for Lord Nether Emperor to enter." The old Qi Refiner shook his head.

"What’s there?" Zi Ji asked again.

"The eternal Power of Order." He answered, sighing lightly, vaguely guessing some truths.

Previously, the sky trembled, the entire Netherworld quaked.

The aftermath of battle from the mortal world spread even here, truly terrifying.

The entire Netherworld is in trepidation.

They saw the sorrowful Nether Emperor, and thereafter made guesses.

Isn’t the one battling the god someone connected to the Nether Emperor?

After all, she had a stint in the mortal world, and now she has just returned to the Netherworld, not long ago?

The old Qi Refiner spoke again: "Does Lord Nether Emperor wish to revive someone?"

Zi Ji looked at him, not answering.

"If it’s that human senior brother, entering the Valley of Death might offer a chance, if it’s someone else..."

"What about others?"

"It depends on who, not everyone can endure the Power of Order."

"Have you heard of Wen Yuqing?"

"Hmm?"

Everyone present was shaken.

Wen Yuqing?

The descendant of the Wen Dynasty in the mortal world, the last princess?

This woman is renowned, how could they not have heard of her?

Moreover, when the woman fell to the mortal world, it seems...

Wait!

They seem to have heard Wen Yuqing had a disciple named Chen Pingping, and Chen Pingping is also the senior brother of Lord Nether Emperor, so? The one killed by the god was Wen Yuqing? Not Chen Pingping?

Upon this thought, the old Qi Refiner gasped, his expression serious: "A believer."

Zi Ji furrowed her brows: "How so."

He shook his head: "No one can be saved."

The power of faith from the mortal world, equivalent to Mighty Power, is the force that can achieve Divine Enthronement, can condense a God Grid.

And Wen Yuqing is the only one from the mortal world for millions, even tens of millions of years, who successfully condensed it; thus... her physique is unlike ordinary cultivators, already covered by the power of faith.

This kind of body cannot accommodate another type of power, even the eternal Power of Order.

The two would repel each other, potentially culminating in backlash.

In the hall, no one spoke again.

The god slew Wen Yuqing, equivalent to severing the largest hope for the Human Clan. She had nearly reached that point, just needed Tao Verification, then slowly gathering power of faith.

Give her a bit more time, and Wen Yuqing could certainly achieve Divine Enthronement, become the first god of the Human Clan.

Sadly, she was slain.

Thus, the calamity on the mortal world’s land is more severe than they imagined!

No wonder Lord Nether Emperor is so anxious, eager to open a passage to the mortal world, wanting to assist there.

But?

Did she forget something?

They have just experienced a major battle in the Netherworld, many mighty ones have fallen, even several kings have perished one after another. If they were to fight on the mortal world’s land.

The Netherworld is indeed strained to help!

"My Lord, take care." A General spoke.

"Dismiss!" Zi Ji said wearily.

In a blink, everyone left.

Only Zi Ji remained alone in the hall. She cautiously retrieved that piece of flesh, carefully sensing the pulsations within, although faint, it still exists.

As if the master is still alive, conversing with her.

Zi Ji murmured to herself: "Master, it was you who let senior brother enter Central Continent, who brought me back to Wuji Sect, changing my fate. Now, this disciple has become the Nether Emperor, high and mighty, with great power, yet powerless to help you defeat the enemy. When I see you again, you’ve already fallen—it’s the disciple’s incompetence."

"They all say you’ve fallen, unable to be resurrected, but this disciple does not believe." Zi Ji lifted her head, her enigmatic eyes starting to become resolute.

If resurrection isn’t possible in the Netherworld, then? What about the myriad of realms?

Minutes later. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

She silently put away that piece of flesh, found a vessel, placed the flesh inside, and then headed towards the Valley of Death.

Of course, she did not intend to enter the Valley of Death.

The mortal world is continuously besieged by calamities, gods attacking, Wuji Sect in peril, senior brother’s fate unknown—her main task now is the battlefield of the mortal world.

As for the Valley of Death...

Zi Ji took a deep breath, bowing towards the Valley of Death: "Father, Mother, will you support me?"
