The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 423 Mystic Sound Pavilion, Ghost City Clouds Part
Near the summit of Purgatory, the Ghost Queen looked down at the sleeping man in black below. A look of surprise finally appeared on her face, which had remained calm for nearly ten thousand years.

Then, the Ghost Princess tentatively asked the woman walking beside her, "Fellow Daoist Murong, who exactly is he that you needed to use the power of laws to seal and suppress him? And why do I feel that when you attacked him earlier, time and space seemed to freeze, as if the entire world was subtly rejecting us? How could this be?"

The Ghost Princess's inquiry was not transmitted through telepathy, and she deliberately lowered her voice.

This meant that the other five people around, including Leng Ningshuang, all heard it.

However, the other five people were all secretly recalling the events with puzzled expressions, and did not notice anything unusual.

Have it?

Even though Ayu and Azhu had reached the peak of the demigod realm, they were no exception. They secretly whispered to each other: Why don't we feel any rejection?

Murong Xuemo glanced at Gui Ji with a half-smile: "Fellow Daoist Gui Ji, at our level, we have no fear of birth, aging, sickness, or death, but only of being tainted by karma! If I were to say that heavenly secrets cannot be presumptuously predicted or revealed, would you still be interested in knowing the reason?"

"I apologize; it was Ghost Princess who overstepped her bounds! Ghost Princess apologizes and thanks Fellow Daoist Murong for the warning!"

Upon hearing this, Ghost Princess broke out in a cold sweat and immediately backed down, no longer pressing the matter.

What is said without malice may be taken to heart by the listener!
Seeing that Murong Shenshi and Gui Ji Niangniang were so secretive, Leng Ning Shuang's heart began to stir. She quickly turned her head and glanced at the man in black below, her beautiful eyes shining brightly: "Feng Jun, is your origin so mysterious? But... even if you have hidden many secrets from me, how can they compare to the many secrets I have hidden from you!"

As they pondered, a dazzling light shimmered atop the Nine Netherworld Purgatory. Then, seven figures vanished without a trace from this independent space formed by the fusion of the Nine-Turning Devouring Yuan Array and the Great Perfection Domain.

……

In the dense forest of the Nine Nether Purgatory, everyone breathed a sigh of relief after watching the seven figures completely disappear.

"Esteemed seniors, please forgive my ignorance and limited knowledge, but I do not know the identities and origins of these Divine Envoy Murong and the Ghost Princess?"

At this moment, Xiang Qiubai's paralyzed body had recovered most of its strength, but he still had to move around with a limp with Ji Sheng's help.

"We humbly request that you, esteemed seniors, enlighten us!"

Seeing Xiang Qiubai's behavior, Wang Dachui and the others quickly and humbly began to ask him for advice.

Seeing the eager looks from everyone, the Heavenly Demoness and the Northern Star Blade Saint glanced sideways at the Night Ghost King and took a step back.

It's not that the Heavenly Demoness and the Northern Star Blade Saint couldn't answer everyone's questions, but rather that neither of them was suited to providing answers to others based on their personalities.

The Heavenly Demoness was naturally quiet and didn't like to talk much, while the Northern Star Sword Saint, being a rough and unrefined man who was good at wielding a sword, felt that he had the will but not the ability.

Furthermore, among the three great saints, the Night Demon King is implicitly the leader, and he is the most resourceful and eloquent. Therefore, whenever a situation arises that requires literary eloquence, the Heavenly Demoness and the Northern Star Blade Saint will not hesitate to give the Night Demon King a chance to show off.

However, to the astonishment of the two Great Sages, the Night Demon King actually lowered his posture, walked up to the green-haired elder, rubbed his hands together, and said, "Elder Tong, with you here, how dare I presume to teach you? Why don't you enlighten these youngsters, Elder Tong?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Tong decisively waved his hand, refusing, "You may speak your mind, I will not mind!"

However, in his heart, Tong Lao cursed the Night Demon King a thousand times, secretly resentful, saying: "Hey, how could I, a demon from the South Sea Illusion Continent, know the secrets of your Eastern Sacred Continent? You little devil, you're clearly trying to take revenge on me, aren't you?"

"Speaking of this Divine Envoy Murong, we must mention His Majesty the Eastern Saint and the Wonderful Sound Immortal Pavilion!"

After receiving permission from Elder Tong, Night Demon King immediately began to tell everyone the story with great enthusiasm.

He was completely unaware that his words and actions, intended to express respect, had instead displeased Elder Tong. Had he known, he would surely have protested his innocence!
"Legend has it that in ancient times, before His Majesty the Eastern Sage disappeared into seclusion, he single-handedly established the Myriad Sounds Immortal Pavilion and the Title Guild, two transcendent forces, with the aim of maintaining the overall stability of the continent and deterring the villains in the other three continents!"

"However, unlike the titled guilds, the Wonderful Sound Pavilion has always been deeply rooted in the secular world since its inception. It has never interfered in any disputes between sects within the continent. As a result, after many changes, it has gone from immortality to mortality and changed its name to Wonderful Sound Pavilion!"

"It was precisely because of the name change that most sects in the medieval period intentionally or unintentionally distanced themselves from and forgot about the Myriad Sounds Pavilion, leading later sects to speculate: had the real Myriad Sounds Pavilion already declined and disappeared into the long river of history? Even though the pavilions and towers of the Myriad Sounds Pavilion are still scattered throughout the secular world today, these later sects subconsciously believed, or rather preferred to believe, that this Myriad Sounds Pavilion was merely an ordinary emerging force limited to the secular world, and not the Myriad Sounds Pavilion of the past..."

"Fortunately, regardless of what views later generations hold, it is undeniable that in the minds of all the high-ranking members of the Super Sect who have inside information, the Myriad Sounds Pavilion still holds a sacred and inviolable transcendent status, even surpassing that of the Title Guild!"

"Hiss!" Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh at the development of the Wonderful Sound Pavilion.

Xiang Qiubai, in particular, still remembered that there was a Miaoyin Pavilion in Sunset City within the territory of the Yuqing Sect, and that a young lady named Miaoxuan from the Miaoyin Pavilion had met with the Yuqing Sect Master late at night.

Unfortunately, it was late at night, and Xiang Qiubai missed the chance to see her. Therefore, even though Miaoxuan had appeared there earlier, he had not recognized her.

Suddenly, Fatty Wang clapped his hands excitedly and shouted, "I understand! Envoy Murong came from the Myriad Sounds Pavilion in ancient times, and it is because of Envoy Murong's existence that the Myriad Sounds Pavilion is still able to stand strong today!"

Immediately, seeing the doubtful looks from everyone, the fat man scratched his head and asked the Night Ghost King for help, "Senior, is it like this?"

"Well, I can only say that your guess roughly matches the situation recorded in the ancient books!" King Dachui of the Night Ghost Dynasty gave him a look that suggested he was a promising student.

Then, it slowly said, "According to ancient records, whenever His Majesty the Eastern Saint went on a tour, two women would accompany him closely, one on his left and one on his right. Although His Majesty the Eastern Saint did not specify the relationship between the two women and him, it was obvious to anyone with discerning eyes that they were divine attendants. Therefore, the ancients called the woman on the left 'Fairy of Wonderful Sound' and the woman on the right 'Divine Envoy Murong' based on their names."

"Originally, Divine Envoy Murong was in charge of the Title Guild, and Fairy Miaoyin was in charge of the Miaoyin Immortal Pavilion. But later, for some unknown reason, His Majesty the Eastern Sage appointed Divine Envoy Murong to take over the Miaoyin Immortal Pavilion, and then His Majesty and Fairy Miaoyin disappeared without a trace! As for the Title Guild, His Majesty not only did not instruct Divine Envoy Murong to continue to manage it, but also seemed to have deliberately abandoned it, leaving it to fend for itself!"

"However, not long after Murong Divine Envoy took over the Myriad Sounds Immortal Pavilion, he also disappeared for a period of time, and later only appeared once every one or two eras. Therefore, upon closer examination, the Myriad Sounds Immortal Pavilion without an immortal is not much different from being left to its own devices... Speaking of which, an era is one thousand years, and the last time Murong Divine Envoy appeared was at the Grand Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects a thousand years ago! Unfortunately, we only learned about him from the Lord of Qinglan City at that time, and we were not fortunate enough to see him!"

After speaking, the Night Demon King paused for a moment, giving everyone time to digest the information, and then revealed a comical expression, teasingly saying, "Alright, let me make one last statement: everything mentioned above is based on ancient books and unofficial historical records, and some facts need to be verified. If you ever find that you have been deceived or misled by this, I will not bear any consequences!"

"..." Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

After a long while, everyone had almost digested the information and, still wanting more, began asking about the Ghost Princess.

Immediately, Night Demon King turned his pitiful gaze to Elder Tong, with a hint of pleading for help.

The crowd noticed something amiss and quickly turned to look at Elder Tong with anticipation.

Unable to resist the gazes of the crowd, Elder Tong could only sigh, "Very well, since you all have such a strong thirst for knowledge, I won't spoil your interest. I'll give you a brief account of this Ghost Princess! However, I must state beforehand that what follows is all hearsay, and how much is true and how much is false, I cannot know!" "Thank you, Elder Tong!"

Everyone nodded quickly and said respectfully, "We are all ears and eager to hear more!" Then, they waited quietly for Elder Tong to continue.

According to the records in the "Illustrated Compendium of Three Thousand Great Demons and Monsters," the Ghost Queen was born in ancient times, a descendant of a Ghost King who perished during the War of the Seven Kings in the Primordial Era. She was fortunate enough to be favored by His Majesty Nanhuan, allowing her to lead the surviving Ghost Clan to occupy the South Sea Illusion Continent. Later, out of gratitude for His Majesty Nanhuan's kindness, the Ghost Queen stayed by his side day and night. Although she humbly called herself "Queen," she was in reality the undisputed Queen of the Ghost and Demon Clan! Fortunately, like His Majesty Nanhuan, the Ghost Queen was not obsessed with power, which allowed all creatures in the South Sea Illusion Continent to freely compete under the frosty sky!

Before Elder Tong could catch his breath, he saw everyone staring intently at him, as if to say: Is that all?
Immediately, Old Master Tong helplessly shrugged and made a "what else?" expression.

However, the group's enthusiasm did not seem to be diminished. Instead, they talked about some general history of the ancient and prehistoric periods with great interest, only to find that they had never heard of any record of the Ghost King.

In particular, Night Ghost King and Ji Sheng, who are ghosts, pestered Elder Tong, wanting to know from him what the Seven Kings Rebellion was about, and why the Ghost King, who seemed to be an ancestor of the ghost clan, had died.

Unfortunately, due to the passage of time, Mr. Tong knew very little and dared not answer rashly.

"Boom!"

Just when everyone was still not satisfied.

Suddenly, accompanied by a series of earth-shattering roars, Feng Ling's sleeping body rose straight up, and a powerful divine force spread through his body.

Immediately afterwards, the Nine Netherworld Purgatory collapsed and disintegrated. Then, the Nine Infant Palace collapsed and disintegrated!
Ghost City, core area.

Amidst rows of antique, dark palace buildings, the group was suddenly and randomly scattered, accompanied by a strong sense of dizziness and weightlessness.

"suddenly--!"

A cool breeze swept by.

Suddenly, the sky above Ghost City, which had been covered in dark clouds, burst forth with dazzling light.

"Ah, this is... a miracle?"

Everyone subconsciously squinted, raised their hands to cover their cheeks, and looked up at the sky through their fingers.

In the sky, streaks of dawn's first light, illuminated by divine power, fell like a miracle, silently permeating and purifying the endless ruins of Ghost City.

The dark clouds dispersed, and the rising sun shone like a red-hot sauce...

The Ghost City, shrouded in darkness and sealed for millennia, has finally seen the light of day again!

"This day has been awaited for a thousand years! It has finally come..."

Upon witnessing this scene, the three Great Sages, who were most deeply bound to Ghost City, couldn't help but shed tears. The Night Ghost King, in a trembling voice, stammered incoherently, "Finally, the clouds have parted... the sun has risen through the clouds!"

Click, click...

Accompanied by the immense divine power that shone down with the first rays of dawn, three zhang above the ground, it suddenly transformed into drops of miraculous rain, brimming with the vital energy of life.

The miraculous rain fell gently for seven days and seven nights, bathing the entire Ghost City in its warmth.

During this period, countless treasure hunters who lingered in the Nine Rings area, as well as the evil spirits that originally existed in the Nine Rings, all received indescribable benefits and were extremely excited.

In particular, Wang Dachui and Xiang Qiubai, who were in the core area, finally faced their mortal tribulations after being cleansed by the most intensive divine power.

……

Amidst the rolling thunder, Xiang Qiubai and Wang Dachui were in high spirits, resisting the pain of the lightning tribulation while absorbing and devouring thousands of fragmented ghost spirits from the core area into their bodies.

Ultimately, the two forged their fifteenth ghost spirit, successfully escaping the purple aura from the east and entering the realm of mortal saints.

……

"Nightwalker, North Star, Lori, I have authorized forty-two Saint Realm Soul Slaves to serve you. Your task is to quell the chaos as quickly as possible and restore Ghost City to normalcy. I hope you will not disappoint me..."

In the sky, Feng Ling was still asleep with his eyes closed, but a clear divine thought was conveyed through the rain of divine power.

Before the Night Ghost King and his two companions could react, everyone was horrified to see that, centered on Feng Ling's body, one after another, figures with incomparably powerful auras appeared out of thin air, obscuring the entire sky in the core area!
……

"Fellow Daoists, why is there such a strange phenomenon in the sky above Ghost City? What has happened?"

"It seems someone is undergoing tribulation, and not just one! It's two, no, three, five, seven..."

"My God! Forty... more than forty!"

In the distance, the core figures of all the major and minor forces in the southeast, including Wuyang City and Yukui Gate, rose into the air, gazing in utter awe at the direction from which the divine miracle had occurred…

There, the aura of more than forty epic overlords emanated—as bright as the sun at its zenith!
"Ghost City, may it rise!"

Upon realizing what had happened, the high-ranking figures from all the factions exchanged wry smiles, and the same thought simultaneously popped into their minds.

Every time a creature hatches, it's a new beginning...

The world is full of chaos and troubles; may the sages and saints offer you a pure land for your souls.
