Chapter 465: Chapter 307: Ten Thousand Years Ago_2

Lowering his gaze, the Black Death Bacterial Armor that had seemingly fully merged into Xu Yuan’s body once again surfaced on his palm.

It resembled a layer of old callus.

And atop this thin layer, a Blood Divine Stone Jade Pendant was strikingly inlaid.

It was the very same one that disappeared when he opened the hexagonal platform earlier.

Wherever his eyes touched, a series of intricate and messy patterns spread out from the jade pendant in his palm.

In thought, Xu Yuan reached out with his will-spirit, attempting to sense the power contained within these patterns.

And right after his will-spirit made contact with the newly-revealed Blood Divine Stone, an explosion of jumbled information surged into Xu Yuan’s mind.

An endless stream of information flowed into his brain like water down a channel!

Feeling the influx of this information, a chill instinctively settled in Xu Yuan’s heart.

Oh no, did I go too far and am about to be possessed again?

Although his physical constitution was that of Mortal Transcendence, and his will-spirit had also grown much stronger due to the Ghostification, at his core he was still a Soul Condensation expert.

Without leveraging Luo Xiran’s space between spaces, he couldn’t use the Dao Domain which arises from the common sensation between Origin Qi and the will-spirit.

For a time,

Besides the earth-shaking tremors, there was no other sound at the bottom of the Blood Pool.

Xu Yuan stood motionless in his spot, fully focused and ready to resist being possessed.

"...."

"...."

Xu Yuan, looking at the female corpse who was still sitting upright a few meters away, suddenly realized that he might have overreacted.

This stream of information wasn’t a possession, but information that had been unsealed within the Blood Divine Stone Jade Pendant, activated by his will-spirit.

As the Path of Cultivation developed to this point, the world had other things besides paper that could act as vessels for information.

Inheritance jade disks, inheritance formation patterns, inheritance gems, which were akin to the jade slips from the cultivation novels Xu Yuan read in his past life.

However, all these items had ultimately been phased out over time.

Even though jade slips had advantages such as direct will-spirit reading, will-spirit frequency encryption, small size, long preservation time, and self-destruction capabilities, these advantages couldn’t justify their exorbitant production cost, and specially crafted yet affordable paper could roughly meet the needs as well.

With his mind slightly relaxed, Xu Yuan closed his eyes and began to browse through the information that had appeared in his mind.

The jade monitor didn’t directly transfer memory images, but used text as the medium, as if a book that could be perused at any time had appeared in his mind.

Speedily reading through the elegant handwriting in his mind, Xu Yuan’s expression gradually became peculiar.

This jade slip didn’t seem to contain a cultivation technique, but rather a.... "research journal"?

"....I’ve always been curious as to why cultivators’ lifespans are so short. The flesh of a Third Grade cultivator can remain uncorrupted for a hundred years, and Saints even for a thousand. Even in death, they remain like so, so surely the lifespan of our human Saints should be far more than just over two hundred years. Maybe the answer can be found from these ghosts. However, the most urgent task is to research a cure for the Reversal Ghost Transformation. These ghosts from the great wasteland have already breached the Canaan Sect’s Secret Realm, and one-third of Zhongzhou has already fallen...."

"....A month without progress, but at least I now have a general direction...."

"....The domains of these ghosts seem able to resonate with lower-ranked brethren, expanding the range. If we could use this trait, lower-ranked cultivators might be able to play a bigger role on the battlefield...."

"....Qianwu seems to have discovered how to identify those who have been transformed into ghosts among the high ranks. The Pavilion Master and they are preparing to use them to lure out the high-ranked ghosts, and they need my strength...."

"....The Pavilion Master is too strong; she has slain thirteen Saint-level ghosts, which should stabilize the situation for the time being...."

"....Bai Fanchou and the others know they’ve been transformed. For the sake of humanity, they are willing to become test subjects, but is it really alright to use Saint-level ghosts as subjects?...."

"....Why? Why did my brother have to defect? At such a perilous time for humanity, he actually deserted us. The Pavilion Master wants to see me...."

"...."

Having browsed up to this point, Xu Yuan’s expression was somewhat peculiar.

Brother?

A defector?

Surname Luo?

Hiss... It’s not that old turtle Old Man Luo, is it?

[....Pavilion Master did not blame me, but the message my brother left for me actually claimed that the short lifespan of the human race is related to the will-spirit, and he was going to seek the path to eternal life...]

[....Tang Wan’er from the Qianwu Sect found a way to block the resonance between the alien ghosts in the Ancient Abyss, but the alien ghosts have already invaded the Daying Continent, I need to pick up the pace too...]

[....Alien ghosts appeared in the Wanxing Mountain Range; the Ancient Abyss borders the alien ghosts, and the forest terrain seems very suitable for the growth of the mycelial mat, these members of the Demon Race are finally willing to join the war effort...]

[....Su Luochen from the Medicine God Palace has created a medicine powder that can corrode the Black Death Mycelial Mat; he truly lives up to the name of Saint Heir of the Medicine God Palace...]

[....They are preparing to launch a counter-offensive...]

[...There’s progress on the antidote, using the bone spirit fruit as the main ingredient to refine the medicine powder can suppress the Life Origin in the alien ghosts from repairing the body...]

[...]

[...]

[...]

[...The alien ghosts have been expelled, and my antidote has not been developed yet. Pavilion Master and those from the Medicine God Palace have reached a cooperation, preparing to expand this underground palace, which should be good news, but as our Jiatiange has declined so much, it’s surprising that they have no intention of besieging us...]

[...The expansion of the underground palace has started, and many alien ghost samples have been sent over, even Tang Wan’er and Su Luochen brought a source alien ghost; it is said that the Pavilion Master captured it personally from the wastelands. With their help, the progress this time should be much faster...]

[...Tang Wan’er and Su Luochen don’t seem to be here to study the antidote; they are researching the body of that source alien ghost...]

[...Tang Wan’er and Su Luochen are using living humans in the underground palace for ghostification experiments; this is too much. I tried to stop them and got scolded by the Pavilion Master...]

[...Tang Wan’er has based some modifications on my Life Reversal Powder, and it is now evidently capable of suppressing the Life Origin’s transformation of a living body...]

[...Tang Wan’er’s method seems correct. We should start by blocking the Life Origin from transforming creatures...]

[...Su Luochen came to comfort me, saying that they were right. If it weren’t for my hesitation, we wouldn’t have wasted so much time, there wouldn’t have been so many strong individuals executed due to ghostification, and so many civilians wouldn’t have died from the alien ghosts...]

[...With my modifications, the Life Reversal Powder can now partially reverse the process of ghostification, but it’s effective only on demi-alien ghosts...]

[...In addition to the antidote, those two are actually studying how to control the alien ghosts; however, if we could control the alien ghosts, then perhaps the next great calamity wouldn’t be so devastating. Sacrificing a portion of the population for the greater purpose is necessary...]

[...The process of the antidote is nearing its end, and they invited me to join in the research of controlling the alien ghosts, which I agreed to...]

[...Controlling the alien ghosts themselves doesn’t seem realistic, but maybe we could bypass their physical entities and exploit the properties of the mycelial mat inside them...]

[...We’ve made fast progress with a direction for our research, especially since Big Brother Su is an expert on the Black Death Mycelial Mat...]

[...]

[...]

[...]

[...The Life Reversal Liquid, when added with Eradicating Heart Dew, can now completely devour the Life Origin inside a demi-alien ghost, but it causes irreversible damage to the demi-alien ghost’s body. Plus, if it’s used on those fully transformed by ghostification, they will die outright; it needs more refinement...]

[...It’s been three months since the Pavilion Master sent someone to inquire about our progress, but thankfully, the medicinal herbs and various tools are still being delivered continuously...]

[...I wanted to return to Jiatiange to retrieve materials, but was stopped; something’s not right...]

[...The Life Reversal Liquid has been developed, but they cannot know...]

[...As expected, Jiatiange has been besieged by the Sects! The crystal that uses the bacterial armor to control alien ghosts is near completion in its development, and they plan to transform the Pavilion Master into an alien ghost and then control him...]

[...I imprinted all the methods to resist formation pattern control into the jade pendant...]

[...I’ve reached cooperation with the source alien ghost; Tang Wan’er and Su Luochen have been infected and transformed...]

[...I am preparing to snatch the body of that source alien ghost...]
