Book 07 Chapter 159: Dao Body
Beams of black light came from the divine blood poison ant’s body and entered the spherical sack.
“What’s going on? Xianer, are you alright?” Gu Hai asked worriedly.
“I’m fine? However, this seems different from possession.” Chen Xianer’s voice came from the spherical sack.
“What’s different?” Gu Hai asked worriedly.
“This…this does not seem like the heavenly palaces’ location. No, it seems like it is. This is very strange,” Chen Xianer commented curiously.
“If it is not the heavenly palaces’ location, what is it?” Gu Hai said in shock.
“I feel that the sack is an egg helping me reconstruct my body. It is coordinating with my spiritual souls and reconstructing a body for me. It seems like the core of a law. It is creating a law body for me,” Chen Xianer said in shock.
“Reconstructing a body? Then it is not possession. What if…” Gu Hai immediately felt anxious.
“Husband, there’s no need to worry. I am doing well; it feels comfortable. Ah! There is some text here!” Chen Xianer’s voice rang out.
“Text? Why is it in the location of the divine blood poison ant’s heavenly palaces? What is written there?” Gu Hai asked in shock.
“Poison Dao Body Reconstruction Technique?” Chen Xianer read out.
“What cultivation technique is that?” Gu Hai said in confusion.
“It is explained here. It turns out the primogenitor of the shaman race’s Gu poison techniques created a powerful technique. He collected all venomous and poisonous creatures in the world to create this divine blood poison ant. The divine blood poison ant is not a treasure but a container. This container holds the poison Dao and poison laws. However, the Dao and laws are mixed together and disordered, so they cannot be used directly. However, he forged the heavenly souls’ location into a container that could draw on the poison Dao laws to construct a law body, a Dao body. After that, one would live forever,” Chen Xianer said as she read the text.
“A Dao body? The poison Dao? Live forever?” Gu Hai said in shock.
“Yes. Only the primogenitor of the Gu poison’s line of inheritance knew about this matter. He had prepared it for his use but died before he could do so. Hence, no one knew about it. Husband, don’t worry. I’ll cultivate according to this text and construct a law body!” Chen Xianer said excitedly.
“Alright, as long as you are fine. Be careful!” Gu Hai said worriedly.
“Husband, don’t worry!” Chen Xianer said.
Whoosh!
The spherical sack immediately flared with even brighter light. The essence of the divine blood poison ant’s gigantic body quickly entered the spherical sack.
Worried about the outside world, Gu Hai retraced his route, returning to the poison swamp and flying out of the divine blood poison ant’s body to protect Chen Xianer.
Outside, the Buddhist Energy sea was nearly drained, and the golden fog was about to vanish. He could vaguely see the three Gautama Heavenly Demons cultivating in the distance.
Gu Hai’s face sank as he waved his hand.
Whoosh!
Gu Hai immediately drove the remaining Buddhist Energy, turning it into fog to hide the divine blood poison ant.
The massive divine blood poison ant twitched rapidly, and its black shell slowly lost opacity as if its essence was draining away.
Three days later, the divine blood poison ant had turned entirely transparent. Gu Hai could now see a glowing spherical sack through the transparent shell.
“A Dao body? The poison Dao? The ancient shaman race was truly full of talent!” Gu Hai marveled.
Crack!
A crack suddenly appeared in the divine blood poison ant’s exoskeleton.
Earlier, the divine blood poison ant showed itself to be incomparably tough; even the Life Executioner Saber could not cut it. It was practically impenetrable and indestructible.
Now, a crack strangely appeared on it. Furthermore, that crack spread and branched out.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
Thousands of cracks appeared in the divine blood poison ant’s exoskeleton in just a while, looking like a spiderweb. Then the exoskeleton burst.
The divine blood poison ant’s body shattered into fragments, scattering all over the ground. Then the fragments quickly withered, turning into a mountain of dust. A breeze blew by, and it all vanished.
The divine blood poison ant over thirty kilometers tall disappeared.
Only the spherical sack remained. As it pulsated, it seemed to draw all the divine blood poison ant’s essence to the center and slowly turned transparent, looking like a water ball with a naked, beautiful woman with long, flowing hair inside, her body curled up, appearing to be asleep.
“Xianer?” Gu Hai’s face lit up with joy.
The person in the water ball was the Chen Xianer he dreamed about. Now, she had reconstructed her physical body.
Chen Xianer’s body shone with a crystalline radiance, looking pure and holy.
“She’s alive? Hahahaha!” Tears spilled out of Gu Hai’s eyes.
Gu Hai extended his hand to touch that water ball.
“Husband, don’t!” A voice suddenly came from the water ball.
Chen Xianer suddenly opened her eyes, showing a horrified expression.
“What’s wrong?”
“There is poison on the water ball. Husband, don’t touch it!” Chen Xianer cried out.
Gu Hai’s hand paused.
“Xianer, have you fully reconstructed your body?” Gu Hai asked.
“Yes, it is fully reconstructed. However, I’m still not familiar with it. I have only just reconstructed this physical body, and the laws are still leaping around in it. Xianer would like to familiarize myself with it first. Otherwise, I might accidentally hurt Husband if I move around blindly,” Chen Xianer said worriedly.
“Hahaha! Excellent! Excellent! Take your time familiarizing yourself! Take your time!” Gu Hai guffawed.
After speaking, Gu Hai waved, causing fog to cover the water ball. Then he waved again, sending the water ball into the Gu’s Immortal Firmament.
Although he did not know what was special about Chen Xianer’s Dao body, her revival was sufficient.
Gu Hai did not care about the divine blood poison ant turning into dust. What would he care more about than Chen Xianer?
Whoosh!
As time passed, the golden fog above the Buddhist Energy sea thinned. Now, the Buddhist Energy no longer sufficed to cover the surroundings, and Gu Hai could see the three Gautama Heavenly Demons outside.
The three cultivated with their eyes closed, appearing to have forgotten about everything.
Gu Hai did not attempt a sneak attack. While the three appeared defenseless, he could sense a murderous intent in their surroundings.
Gu Hai looked up at the sky and saw crimson clouds covering it. Clearly, the three were monitoring the world with the crimson heavenly eye.
“Vairocana is already gone?” Gu Hai appeared worried, not knowing if Vairocana was alive.
“It is about time. The passageways between the eighteen layers of hell should be opening soon, right? Getting out is more urgent!” Gu Hai’s expression changed slightly.
Gu Hai closed his eyes. When he next opened them, the Eyes of Life and Death opened, and the structure of the world appeared before him.
“Before I came in, I paused for a moment to study the entrance. I only need to replicate the arrangement of those black and white lines to open it.” Gu Hai extended his hand and manipulated the strings.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Faint ripples appeared in the air, and the secret realm immortal firmament’s exit suddenly appeared.
Rumble…!
When Gu Hai opened the secret realm immortal firmament’s exit, the crimson clouds in the sky seemed to sense it.
“Huh?” The three Gautama Heavenly Demons opened their eyes simultaneously.
What greeted them was the sight in the thin fog of Gu Hai stepping out of the secret realm immortal firmament.
The three immediately startled awake.
“Gu Hai? You are alive?” Jiang Gautama exclaimed.
“Where is the Buddhist Energy sea? Where is the sea of Buddhist Energy? Gu Hai, you thief! Return the Buddhist Energy!” Mortal Gautama roared furiously.
“Where is the divine blood poison ant? The divine blood poison ant is gone? Gu Hai, what did you do?” Heavenly Gautama exclaimed.
“Where are you running to? Buddhist Nation in Hand!” Being the closest, Mortal Gautama was the first to attack.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a palm containing a world rushed towards Gu Hai, who was about to step out.
Gu Hai’s expression turned cold.
Just then, a golden palm, which seemed to surpass space, suddenly appeared behind Gu Hai.
“Buddhist Nation in Hand!”
Another palm containing a world clashed with Mortal Gautama’s Buddhist Nation in Hand.
“Vairocana?” Gu Hai said in pleasant surprise.
How could Gu Hai forget this voice?
Vairocana strangely appeared out of nowhere and threw a palm strike at Mortal Gautama.
Boom!
A loud report rang out as the entire world shuddered.
“Vairocana, you are alive too?” Heavenly Gautama felt incredibly shocked and enraged.
The three had thought Gu Hai and Vairocana were dead. How could they both be alive?
Heavenly Gautama and Jiang Gautama immediately made a move.
After clashing once with Mortal Gautama, Vairocana grabbed Gu Hai. “Let’s go!”
Whoosh!
The two charged into the second layer of hell through the exit Gu Hai made.
“Where are you going?” Mortal Gautama and Jiang Gautama roared.
“Return the Buddhist Energy!”
“Return my divine blood poison ant!”
The two gave chase, exiting the secret realm immortal firmament.
Heavenly Gautama showed a cold expression as he stepped out of the secret realm immortal firmament. Then he waved, collecting the secret realm immortal firmament into his palm before pursuing Vairocana and Gu Hai.
The three Gautama Heavenly Demons went crazy with anger. Not only had they been fooled, but Gu Hai had also stolen the Buddhist Energy accumulated over tens of thousands of years and the divine blood poison ant. How could they not be angry? They could not calm down without killing Gu Hai and Vairocana.
“Quickly, leave! Go to the exit and lure them to the Corpse Mound World!” Gu Hai said.
“Alright!” Vairocana quickly flew while carrying Gu Hai.
“Mister Gu, did you save your wife?” Vairocana asked curiously.
“I’ve already saved her. Vairocana, where were you these years?” Gu Hai asked out of curiosity.
“Do you remember the memory-sealing pen? I brought one with me. There was a trace of the time laws in it. When I nearly died earlier, I hid in a gap in time and recuperated there until you opened the secret realm immortal firmament’s exit. That destabilized space and time, so I came out. Fortunately, I made it in time.” Vairocana smiled.
“It was right on time. The Unborn Man and the others must be anxious, right? Hah! They laid a trap for us earlier. Now, it is our turn to lay a trap for them,” Gu Hai sneered.
“Alright!”
The two rushed to the entrance to the first layer of hell. At the entrance, Kong Xuan’s eyes lit up when he saw them flying over.
