Chapter 838: Chapter 645: A good wind, by its force, sends me soaring to the azure clouds

Under the Heavenly Gate, the entire Mortal World is enveloped in darkness.

On the peak of Dushuo Mountain above the vast East Sea, at an unknown time, a bright white full moon silently rises, casting radiant silver light for miles.

If you look closely, that clear and cold full moon seems to be composed of billions of exquisite and complex rune inscriptions.

The eight moon phases change in sequence: full moon, gibbous moon, last quarter moon, waning crescent, new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter moon, waxing gibbous, and finally back to the full moon.

Symbolizing the cycle from life to death, and then from death to rebirth.

The source of that full moon is the [Dragon Tower Phoenix Pavilion], heavily sealed by a grand formation.

Sitting on the Jade Couch, Huang Wu’s breathing completely disappears, her skin as white as transparency, like turning into a lifeless white jade figure.

A piece of skin on her hand is the first to slowly dissolve, revealing flesh like a ruby.

First the skin, then the membranes, the flesh, until the jade-like slender bones, the five organs emitting a multicolored treasure light...

As her meat body dissolves, the Divine Soul left behind by Huang Wu becomes increasingly ethereal, exuding an aura of transcendence beyond the Three Realms and the Five Elements.

Crack! Crack! Crack!...

The sound of chains breaking apart in inches.

In this process, she successively breaks free from the constraints of the Great Thousand World, thoroughly cutting off the nine difficulties of cultivation:

The compulsion of necessities; the restraint of elders; the entanglement of affection; the entanglements of fame and fortune; the sudden occurrence of disasters; the restraint of false mentors; the difficulty in firm resolve; the worn passage of time.

Achieving the synchronous ascension of Daoist Skill and spirit!

Nine days pass by in an instant.

Under normal circumstances, using the [Corpse Dissection Divine Staff Technique] to break through the Corpse Dissection Pass takes a minimum of nine days, a maximum of twenty-seven days.

During Ascension, bringing along a burden, no matter the effort, would take the maximum set time of a half moon to succeed.

But for Huang Wu, who has already undergone a [Taiyin Refining Form] breakthrough during the Mage phase using the [Taiyin Corpse Transformation Seal].

This rule does not seem to apply as strongly.

Moreover, with the immense gains from the "Infinite Moon Mirror" project, Huang Wu’s own [Heavenly Dao Favor] is more than sufficient.

The promotion speed is much faster than initially anticipated.

As the Promotion Ceremony continues each day, the bright moon in the sky also gets increasingly brighter.

Even resonating with the Moon Palace, shrouded behind the Sky, borrowing the Heavenly Department status of [Taiyin Monarch].

This results in the faint outline of a moon appearing in the night sky.

But at this moment, Huang Wu encounters the greatest unexpected obstacle during her promotion—daylight has disappeared!

It is well-known that there are three outcomes of [Corpse Dissection]:

The lower dissection occurs at night, unable to be reborn from death, resulting in complete death and Ghost Transformation, essentially a complete failure, only to re-enter reincarnation.

The middle dissection occurs at dawn or dusk, allowing for a certain degree of Immortality.

Yet, one is confined to the Underworld, unable to return to the light, becoming a Yin Spirit akin to an Earth-Bound Spirit.

This status is the highest in rank among the ghostly spectrum, akin to an [Underground Master].

The upper dissection occurs during the day, achieving [Corpse Dissection Immortal], and is the sole recognized merit of [Corpse Dissection Immortal Technique] after thousands of years.

Only daytime corpse dissection as an "upper dissection" is a true Corpse Dissection!

But at this time, Huang Wu has already reached the point of no return, unable to halt her Promotion Ceremony.

Her Divine Soul, attached to the last bit of Bone Remains, is abruptly startled from meditation due to the sudden incident.

In that instant, she learns from the "Collective Unconscious Sea" the truth about the disappearance of the sun and moon in the sky.

Faced with this situation.

Even though they had anticipated various unexpected possibilities and made comprehensive plans with Wang Yuan, anxiety still grips their hearts uncontrollably.

"An eternal night lasting at least half a month? Why is it happening precisely now?

No, [Cang God] and the [Swallowing Star Heavenly Dog] choosing to act now is likely not without purpose.

Perhaps the involvement of [No-Life Buddha], who holds dominance over Sun Power, may not be absent.

They rely on cross-power to capture the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty and... me, the [Taiyin Monarch] undergoing Corpse Dissection, all in one stroke!

The Moon Palace, just restored to being ownerless, is the easiest target."

As time passes, the [Heavenly Dao Favor] on Huang Wu rapidly burns due to the stagnation of the ceremony, leaving her no room to continue waiting for a twist of fate.

"But if dissection occurs in the dark of night today, not only can the upper dissection for Immortal Ascension not be attained, but not even the middle dissection as an [Underground Master] can succeed.

The consequence is only one: inevitable death!

Even the power of [Yin Heaven Son] in Xiao Yuan cannot save it.

Stay calm, stay collected, think again about what solutions exist to address the lack of daylight."

Huang Wu perceives the child protected by [Fertility Power] in her womb, feeling ever more urgent.

If this Corpse Dissection fails, it is destined to result in the death of both her and the daughter in her womb.

At this moment when irrepressible despair rises to the surface, the first person she thinks of is Wang Yuan.

Past experiences instill in Huang Wu infinite confidence in her Taoist Friend.

She believes if Wang Yuan can ascend to [Heavenly Immortal] first, he can surely resolve the [Swallowing Star Heavenly Dog], releasing the Sun and Moon Palaces swallowed into its stomach once again.

Alas, distant water does not quench present thirst.

The time for Wang Yuan’s [Great Triad] to open is still after her Corpse Dissection, and no one knows how long the Heavenly Immortal Ceremony will take to complete.

"Bringing back daylight isn’t feasible, then what methods are there to offset this promotion prerequisite? To nullify the cost."
