I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 578 South China Sea Artifact
The domain of the Great Camellia God, on the giant branches of a tree.

A crimson bird, about the size of a palm, slowly opened its eyes and then wearily fluttered its wings.

This is the Bluebird after its successful rebirth, also known as Lord Lingguang in outside rumors.

After undergoing a rebirth, the Azure Bird completely transformed into the Vermilion Bird and successfully integrated the power of the Golden Crow and the Jade Palace.

Currently, Ling Guangjun has already crossed the Divine Gate in both the Essence and Qi paths, and is only one step away from refining his spirit and returning to emptiness.

"Still haven't figured out the origin of that black mist?"

With a helpless sigh, Ling Guangjun felt that the black mist looked somewhat familiar.

Unfortunately, Jingmu Han, Guijin Yang, Liutu Zhang, Xingri Ma, Zhangyue Lu, Yihuo She, and Zhenshui Yin each inherited only one of their own fire jades, making it impossible for them to set up the complete [Nanming Li Huo Grand Array].

There are a total of twelve fire orbs transformed from Bai Yujing.

In a sense, it can also be considered Ling Guangjun's natal magic weapon.

Lord Lingguang bestowed seven of the coins upon seven of his chosen deities, intending for them to act on his behalf and govern the chaotic South China Sea.

Once the true God of the South Sea is born, Lord Lingguang will naturally retreat to the background.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that even before the god of the South Sea is born, those mysterious black mists will start to cause new troubles.

"Don't you think that black mist looks somewhat familiar?"

Just then, an old face slowly emerged from the tree branch.

Compared to a few years ago, the Great Camellia God still looks old, but now it has the feeling of an old tree sprouting new buds.

This is all thanks to the peach tree that He cultivated in collaboration with Xiluo.

From Li Boyang's perspective, the peach tree is still only a semi-finished elixir of immortality.

But the vitality it contains is enough to bring the withered tree back to life.

"It does look familiar, but I just can't remember where I've seen it before."

Gently spreading his wings, Ryoko-kun tried to recall the past.

As before, Ryoko-kun couldn't recall that missing memory at all.

This is one of the major aftereffects of rebirth.

The current Lingguang-jun is not in its complete state at all.

Or to be more precise, Lord Lingguang is still the Bluebird, but he is no longer just the Bluebird.

In terms of strength, it's alright.

After his rebirth, Ling Guangjun needs some time to restore his power to its peak before he can make a further breakthrough.

But memories of the past are different.

She needed to experience things firsthand in order to recall the details more clearly.

This is not a loss of memory, but an instinctive self-protection mechanism.

"When the celestial beings were born, the Prison Soul Cauldron fell into the Hundred Lands Mountains..."

“A Ghost Fang priest reversed his divine soul, transformed into a ghost god, and gave rise to the Black Cloud Marsh.”

"Don't you think this fog is somewhat similar to the Black Cloud Marsh from back then?"

Before he finished speaking, Ling Guangjun's memories were instantly awakened, and even his eyes became much sharper.

"That priest wasn't dead back then?"

Upon hearing this, the Great Chun God immediately rolled his eyes in a human-like manner.

"The Ghost Fang Kingdom has been destroyed, how could he still be alive!"

"What I mean is, perhaps there are still secret techniques passed down in that Ghost Kingdom, or perhaps someone wants to transform into a ghost god."

Ling Guangjun grinned slightly, only realizing what was happening at this moment.

"How can this be?"

"Now that the Six Paths of Reincarnation are complete, the Yin-Yang order is established, and the Dao Ancestor has spread the methods of cultivation, who would be foolish enough to transform into a ghost or god?" As a major branch of the gods, ghosts and gods are special beings born from the Lord of the Underworld.

Nowadays, most ghosts and spirits are either suppressed under the Six Heavens Ghost and Spirit Palace or have reformed and taken on the duties of Yin gods.

Ling Guangjun simply couldn't understand it. In this new era, who would be so foolish as to want to become a ghost or god?

"The world is vast and full of wonders..."

"Never assume your own identity and thoughts about others."

Seeing that Lord Lingguang had realized what was happening, God Dachun said no more and disappeared again in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, in the Purple Bamboo Forest of Mount Putuo.

Fu Kui, who was meditating cross-legged, naturally witnessed the battle taking place in the distance.

For some reason, Fu Kui felt a vague sense of unease, while the inner demon within him mocked him relentlessly.

You guessed it already, didn't you?

Now that you've guessed it, why not take action?

What are you afraid of? Or rather, what are you afraid to face?

Fu Kui listened calmly to the inner demon's mockery; he was already used to it.

"What you guess is not necessarily the truth."

"Especially when the whole picture is unknown, excessive speculation can lead to a deviation from the truth."

The inner demon sneered again, his heart filled with disdain for Fu Kui's hypocritical nature.

If that's the case, then why are you still sitting here?

[Nai Miaoshan has been gone for some time now, and coincidentally, it was during this period that turmoil began in the South China Sea.]

[Given that she deliberately concealed her anger and hatred, are you truly not swayed at all?]

After a long silence, Fu Kui finally smiled helplessly.

"I am no saint, so how could I not be swayed?"

"I'd rather believe Miaoshan's choice than just guess."

“She’s not a bad person, I know that better than anyone else, she must have her own plans.”

Having grown tired of Fu Kui's cowardly behavior, the inner demon finally stopped hiding his intention to take the opportunity to break through the other party's psychological defenses.

I sensed a connection with her, a connection I don't believe you didn't notice.

No, you must have realized this a long time ago, otherwise you wouldn't have stayed on Mount Putuo.

[Weak-willed and easily distracted, yet possessing extremely formidable strength...]

[Such a target is simply the perfect hunting ground for us demon kings. I believe that if the Heavenly Demon were still alive, he would definitely be tempted as well.]

The demon's arrogant laughter continued to echo in Fu Kui's mind, and its next words were even more meaningful.

If I remember correctly, there is an unparalleled treasure at the eye of the South China Sea.

That was a divine artifact of the South Sea personally crafted by the Dao Ancestor; it was a treasure bottle capable of swallowing the waters of the entire four seas.

What do you think this world would become if that treasure fell into the hands of us demon kings?

Or have you really softened your heart?

[Just because of her identity as 'Miaoshan,' you're choosing to stand idly by?]

[Fu Kui, stop being a hypocrite! Let's take that divine artifact!]

Believe me, we are the ones truly qualified to safeguard that divine artifact on behalf of the Dao Ancestor.
