Rebirth of a Quasi-Immortal Spirit

Everyone was completely unaware of this suddenly appearing Xuan Palace and panicked about whether there were any traps or mechanisms inside. Therefore, Gu Xinling, who was most skilled in this area, took the lead and was accompanied by A Zhong, whose golden spiritual root was best suited to protect Gu Xinling from the side.

Gao Zhun shook his head inwardly. Although her lightning shield was incredibly powerful, aside from her Purple Heaven Lightning Spirit Body, the lightning power she possessed would be enough to give even a Mahayana cultivator a hard time, let alone Gu Xinling, whose cultivation had just reached the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

Although Gao Zhun is not very good at protecting others, no one is more suitable than her for the task of covering the rear.

As for Qin Hanyuan, the only male in the ten-person team, with his otherworldly appearance and hands that never touched a drop of water, as a sonic attacker, he naturally played the role of support in the team. He could confuse the enemy and also save his own side from danger. Such a person naturally needed to be well protected by everyone in the middle.

"Something's not right here. It's one thing for divine sense not to work, but my Blood Prison doesn't seem to be working either. Xiao Zhun, where's your Insight Breaker?"

From the middle of the group came Wu Yaqiubai's question. Gao Zhun, who was at the back, replied, "The ability to break through illusions is also somewhat limited, but it can still function as a normal Nascent Soul stage divine sense."

Gao Zhun's words were like a shot in the arm. After all, when everyone's divine sense and pupil techniques were restricted, there were still people whose eyes could play a role similar to divine sense. This provided an extra layer of protection for their safety, preventing them from becoming deaf and blind in this Xuan Palace.

"Qiu Bai, can you sense whether there is any danger on this trip?" Gao Zhun asked.

Wu Yaqiu frowned: "This is what I find most strange. After entering, my prophetic abilities, which are ingrained in my blood, seem to have completely failed. However, my most vigilant sense as a cultivator is still there. I still feel safe here. However, there is the scent of a time array here. I am absolutely certain that I am not mistaken."

The moment Wuya Qiubai uttered the words "time array," everyone's expressions changed. With the decline of the Wuya family, a family possessing the power of time, time arrays on the Immortal Spirit Continent were almost extinct. Apart from the Illusionary Heavenly Splendor set up by Yun Chengyun tens of millions of years ago, this was the second time these people had come into contact with it. In other words, even if this underwater palace was not truly built in ancient times, it could at least be traced back to before the Wuya family's bloodline talent was restricted, which is nearly tens of millions of years ago.

Walking beside Wuya Qiubai, Yun Muning asked, "Is the time array fast or slow?"

"One day outside is equivalent to one year here."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned grim. There was still a full month and thirty days before the teleportation array would open and send them back. If they couldn't leave this Xuan Palace within that time, wouldn't they have to stay here for thirty years?

"Xinling, can you find the eye of the formation and destroy it?"

As soon as Gao Zhun said this, an unusual fluctuation was felt in the air, and a voice rang in everyone's ears: "If it is my word, I will not destroy the formation here. Although the spiritual energy here comes from ancient times and is not suitable for your cultivation, there is a real treasure trove waiting for you to discover."

"Huh, there's actually another descendant of mine here." As soon as he finished speaking, a sudden gust of wind swept through the entire Xuan Palace. Everyone knew it was just the pressure from the man who called himself "Old Man," but such pressure was truly terrifying. Gao Zhun, who had the good fortune to meet the first patriarch of the Gao family in the Gao family's inheritance hall, had a flash of surprise in his eyes. The pressure was exactly the same. Could it be that the master of this Xuan Palace and the first patriarch of the Gao family were of similar cultivation and were both from the God Realm?

A moment later, the gale subsided, and a handsome stranger appeared out of nowhere. His phoenix eyes were fixed on Wuya Qiubai in the center of the group, as if they were about to spit fire: "You girl are the successor of my Wuya family, so why is your bloodline talent suppressed to this extent?"

Just as everyone was watching the man who had appeared out of nowhere with wariness, Wuya Qiubai broke free from Yun Muning's hand and stepped out of the group. She forcibly suppressed the resonance deep in her bloodline and looked at the man who was clearly incomparably majestic, yet gave her a sense of familiarity and dependence. She asked cautiously, "Senior, could you be Wuya Mozun, the first patriarch of my Wuya family?"

Wu Ya Mozun raised an eyebrow, neither confirming nor denying: "Heh, it's true that your bloodline talent has been suppressed, but your insight is quite good."

As he spoke, he took a closer look at Wuya Qiubai's eyes, his smile widening: "You've actually practiced techniques related to pupil arts. Alright, tell me, what's going on with the bloodline suppression in your body?"

Wuya Qiubai dared not refuse and immediately told the whole story of the Wuya family. After he finished speaking, Wuya Mozun remained silent and turned his gaze to Ah Zhong at the head of the team and Gao Zhun at the tail of the team.

"You two, come out here."

Gao Zhun and A Zhong were well aware of Wu Ya Mo Zun's obvious gaze. The two walked out of the team with fear on their faces. In fact, they were not the only ones who were afraid. The remaining seven people in the team were all dumbfounded. Who was Wu Ya Mo Zun? A person who should be a high and mighty figure in the God Realm, why was he here? This was the question in everyone's mind.

“Those hybrids of humans and demons have finally come to their senses, especially you,” Wu Ya Mo Zun said, fixing his gaze on Ah Zhong. “You actually achieved a reversion to your ancestral form once. It seems that the third son has appeared. If you undergo eight more reversions…”

As Wu Yamo was sighing, Gao Zhun was struck dumb. She pointed to herself and said, "Does Senior mean that I am also that human-demon hybrid?"

Seeing Gao Zhun's reaction, Wu Ya Mozun found it amusing: "You're quite an interesting girl. As a hybrid of human and demon, you haven't reverted to your ancestral form, yet you possess the bloodline talents of those two people surnamed Gao and Xuanyuan. However, you don't even know your own background?"

Uya Mozun's words shocked Gao Zhun, but also puzzled her even more. Putting aside how she could be a human-demon hybrid, she was completely baffled by what the other party meant by "atavism" and "third son." However, she suddenly remembered the time when Ah Zhong was enveloped in a cocoon of light. Could that have been some kind of atavism? If so, then wouldn't the third son be...?

Wu Ya Mozun wasn't in a hurry. This Xuan Palace had a time array, which meant he had thirty years to spend with these younger generation members.

Looking at these ten juniors, none of whom were yet fifty years old, Wu Ya Mozun pondered for a moment before laughing heartily: "Seeing how well you juniors are living, it seems that the Luo Tian Continent has been driven out, isn't that right?"

Luo Tian Continent? Apart from Ah Zhong and Gao Zhun, no one present had ever heard of this name, so they all showed puzzled expressions. Although Ah Zhong and Gao Zhun concealed their feelings well, how could Wu Ya Mo Zun not sense their sudden increase in heart rate?

With a casual gesture, Wu Ya Mo Zun enclosed himself, Gao Zhun, and A Zhong within a barrier, so that the remaining eight people could only see the three figures but could not know what they were talking about or even their movements.

Wu Yamo sighed, and said with some sadness, "Next, I will ask questions, and you will answer them. You must not hide anything."

Seeing Wuya Mozun's reaction, Ah Zhong and Gao Zhun exchanged a glance. Gao Zhun stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Whatever Senior wants to ask, this junior will answer to the best of his knowledge. However, there are some questions that this junior would like Senior to answer for him first."

"Oh? If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and I'll see if I can answer them."

Having received permission from the crow to wipe its beak, Gao Zhun then asked all the questions that had been nagging at him since meeting the man: "Question one, in the current Immortal Spirit Continent, human-demon hybrids are not tolerated. Once discovered, they are sent for experiments. Ah Zhong was once captured by a certain organization and spent thirty years in a dark and hopeless prison. But when you discovered that I and Ah Zhong were human-demon hybrids, you were mostly surprised and delighted. I wonder what caused this surprise?"

"Question two: Did anything happen in ancient times? Many ancient inheritances are missing in the Immortal Spirit Continent. Even the Luo Tian Continent that you mentioned, senior, would be unknown to us unless there was an extreme coincidence. Is there some unknown mystery behind this?"

"Question three: Given the magnitude of the events that have occurred in the Wuya family, why did you, as the undisputed patriarch of the Wuya family, only learn the cause and effect after meeting Wuya Qiubai and hearing her account? I dare to guess that this place completely isolates you from everything outside, or perhaps, not only this place, but even the God Realm..."

"Stop, stop, stop, you little girl, the questions you ask are giving this old man a real headache." Wu Ya Mo Zun pretended to rub his temples. "How about this, I'll ask you a question, and after you answer, I'll answer yours? There are some things that I really can't answer if I don't get your answer."

"As it should be."

Gao Zhun stood respectfully, awaiting Wu Ya Mozun's first question.

"First question: In the current Immortal Spirit Continent, besides the organization you mentioned that imprisons human-demon hybrids for experiments, is there another organization lurking behind the scenes that is disrupting the relationship between humans and demons?"

Gao Zhun was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Senior means that because this organization that disrupts the relationship between humans and demons exists, the mysterious organization that imprisons human-demon hybrids for experiments also exists, and they are actually opposed to each other? And the existence of human-demon hybrids is actually to fight against the Luo Tian Continent?"

"Indeed, you've figured out the first question yourself. Now you know why I was so pleased to see you two." (166 Reading Network)
