Chapter 624: Chapter 591 Ghost Mother Divine Skills_1

South Abyss, Gui Sacrificial Sect.

A barren Yanshan, entwined with rust-stained chains, bears a small temple at its peak.

Within the temple resides the Ghost Mother, the master of the Karma Tao of reincarnation in Purgatory.

The Ghost Mother, clad in a cyan magical robe, now sits quietly in the depths of the solemn hall, with the indistinguishable "Reincarnation Pool" floating before her.

The "Reincarnation Pool," which should have been situated in the Hongdu Fragment Land’s Earth Palace, was consecrated by her and placed into her own secret realm cave heaven, which she named "Qingming."

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Soul breaths as light streams, imperceptible even to True Gods, spiralled from the chains wrapped around the rocks and into the temple atop the mountain.

Then, they entered the "Qingming Cave Heaven" behind her, flowing straight into the "Reincarnation Pool."

"Wentao."

"Wentao."

"Wentao."

The Ghost Mother softly murmured.

Her calls resonated with the Yanshan, the chains, Qingming Cave Heaven, and the Reincarnation Pool, precisely anchoring the soul breath light streams flowing into "Qingming."

Many strands marked with Mu Wentao’s memories and bearing original soul seals, formerly distant from each other,

began to condense and converge one by one at her soft voice, slowly becoming an evermore complete soul river.

The life experiences, memories, emotions, and cultivation insights of Mu Wentao were pulled by her to this soul river, to aid her in seeking a suitable child through the "Reincarnation Pool" to accomplish rebirth.

Mu Wentao perished in a natural manner, his body and spirit annihilated.

He was born and died here, with his spiritual soul dissipated into heaven and earth after obliteration, should have had his memory and karma cleansed, returning as a pure Divine Sense to nourish new life.

The Ghost Mother, with her control over the Tao of reincarnation and karma, forcibly interfered with the operation of the natural order.

The fallen Mu Wentao would be reborn within a child of her choosing, with the vast majority of his memories preserved, while memories related to the supreme Zimo of the Ghost Clan would be erased.

Once reborn, Mu Wentao would be brought into the Gui Sacrificial Sect by the Ghost Mother and raised from a young age under her tutelage.

Centuries later, Mu Wentao would ascend to True Godhood once again with a new body.

As for the previous life memories that belonged to Mu Wentao, she would unlock them at the right time.

Of course, that would be after Mu Wentao’s second Divine Enthronement.

In the face of Zhu Ji’s inquiry, her consent not to interfere with the punishment of Mu Wentao by other gods signified her readiness to gather his souls for rebirth.

The moment Mu Wentao’s soul perished, who she had raised herself, she immediately sensed it.

She composedly sorted out the scattered soul breath light streams, also searching for a suitable infant, contemplating that Mu Wentao’s next life must be well arranged.

Suddenly, her face revealed a sinister ferocity, "Who dares to snatch Wentao’s remnant soul!"

"Especially from my very hands!"

She remained in the temple above the Yanshan, not participating in the great changes, focused solely on weaving and reassembling Mu Wentao’s remnant soul.

She severed all contacts with all True Gods, including Li Wang.

She knew that Zhu Ji, as well as Li Wang, would understand her intentions and would tacitly cooperate.

With these two allies on the lookout, Mu Wentao’s soul, after being executed, would be naturally guided to the "Qingming Cave Heaven" by her power.

Now, an unexpected incident occurred!

Some being proficient in the Soul Arts dared to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth, from her hands!

"Soul Anchoring! Within a thousand miles, lend me the eyes of the departed soul!"

The hidden "Reincarnation Pool" in "Qingming Cave Heaven" suddenly solidified for a moment.

The supreme Divine Power of the Ghost Mother instantly pierced through the void, locking onto the "departed soul" at the site of Mu Wentao’s demise.

She immediately saw two Dragon Souls, being pulled by the six great "Demon Realm Cave Heavens," about to be torn into them.

She also caught a fleeting glimpse of Pang Jian’s radiant Immortal Primordial Spirit, brandishing a sword as he slashed at a Nine-Headed Bird.

The bird, massive yet exceedingly nimble and agile, spat Filth Alien Power from its beaks, accompanied by piercing screeches and sharp claws, fiercely battling with Pang Jian.

Surprisingly, it wasn’t at an obvious disadvantage.

"Ghost Bird!"

As soon as she saw the Ghost Bird, the Ghost Mother understood everything.

All Nine-Headed Birds in the world, in addition to strengthening their demon bodies with the energy of heaven and earth, also require the soul energy of humans to sculpt their Demon Souls.

The reason why Nine-Headed Birds are called ominous creatures and are hunted down by Cultivators upon sight, is that the enhancement of the Demon Soul of a Nine-Headed Bird often involves devouring the soul energy of the Human Race.

She distinctly remembered that this Nine-Headed Bird had its nine heads chopped off by her and should have been dead.

Yet now, the ominous bird was not only alive, but it had also become a level-ten Demon God and was boldly manifesting itself in the void near the Saint Spirit Continent.

"The Poison Calamity has begun, Su Wenrou has turned evil, and Pu Zhaotian... is making another assault on True Godhood."

The Ghost Mother observed for a moment and noticed that the world around her was gradually blurring, understanding that her connection to this place was weakening.

She also realized that there must have been great changes she was unaware of.

But at this time, she needed to stay beside the Qingming Cave Heaven and meticulously comb through the soul light rivers of Wen Tao, unable to extricate her true body and leave.

As she hesitated, she saw the Demon Soul of another grey ape also about to dissipate into the world.

Every time Pang Jian and the Nine-Headed Bird fought fiercely, and their figures shifted, one could see sorrow flash through his eyes when the thousand-foot grey ape’s corpse was visible.

"Perhaps..."

Suddenly, the Ghost Mother made a decision.

She directed a strand of Divine Sense into the Dragon Soul, which was being pulled by the six great "Demon Realm Cave Heavens" and was doomed not to enter the Qingming Cave Heaven.

The Flame Dragon’s Soul, which was about to be refined by the Original Demon Fusion Spell and used to achieve the Source Demon, unexpectedly spoke out in the alien landscape of the Demon Realm: "Source Demon, I can help that grey ape’s Demon Soul return."

"Its demon body has not been destroyed, and as long as the Demon Soul returns, the spark of life can be reignited."

"I just need Pang Jian to either slay the Nine-Headed Bird or drive It away from this place in the shortest time possible!"

The Flame Dragon’s soul said indifferently.

"Ghost Mother!"

The Source Demon inside the sword instantly guessed the identity of the other party.

After Yuan Qi’s soul perished, the only being in Purgatory World capable of helping him retrieve his Demon Soul and promising its return was the Ghost Mother!

Therefore, the Source Demon commanded, "Pang Jian, quickly kill the Nine-Headed Bird, or severely wound It! This way, Yuan Qi can still be saved; this is the promise given by the Ghost Mother!"

The Source Demon, who just a moment before had been in the world within the sword, quietly entered a "Demon Realm Cave Heaven" after finishing her speech.

This place was ablaze with flames, and the magma bubbled violently, forming a smelting pool capable of melting everything in the universe.

The corpses of the level-nine Wind Dragon and Flame Dragon had already been subsumed into the boiling melting pool, and the soul of the Wind Dragon was also being drawn in.

Above the smelting pool only the Flame Dragon’s Soul, inhabited by the consciousness of the Ghost Mother, remained.

"How should I cooperate with you to find and retrieve the Demon Soul of King Ape, preventing it from dispersing in Purgatory?"

Now with a true demon body, the Source Demon in this world asked politely.

"You just need to not operate the six great Demon Realm Cave Heavens and not refine the soul of King Ape’s corpse," the Ghost Mother responded coldly.

How could she not see that this Outer World Demon God, who first corrupted Mo Nan, had now completed the resurrection of his demon body and soul in Purgatory World?

Great Demon God Hemo Tian, Ti Wei, and the highest of the Ghost Clan Zimo had not achieved what this present Demon God had successfully accomplished.

Apart from the Fire God Yan Lie, this was the second terrifying existence in Purgatory to possess a true demon body and the combat power of a Demon God.

The current Source Demon was powerful enough to fairly duel a Human True God.
