Chapter 302: Chapter 136: Tantai Yao Seeks to Purge Wutong Prefecture, Nirvana Seeker Shows Utmost Respect to Song Chai Xin? There’s Deception Afoot!

Early morning.

The Ninth-Grade Department Head of Black Mountain Outer City, Chen Zhenwu, with bloodshot eyes, hurriedly invited Jixia to the Guardian Mansion.

Last night’s turmoil.

The hundreds of demon followers brought into the Inner City by a Primordial Pill Commander fell into chaos with his demise, and the demon monarch’s heir, Ancient Celestial Heaven, fled in panic, leaving them leaderless.

Thus, scattered into the Outer City, the Military Department and Government Office took great effort to capture them one by one and eliminate them.

During the morning pursuit of the remaining troublesome demons...

In the Outer City,

several high-skilled Martial Artists appeared, their qi and blood robust, quickly annihilating these demons.

Initially, Chen Zhenwu leading the constables from the Government Office, along with the Director of the Military Department, Chen Jing, rushed over.

This eighth and ninth-grade brother pair were only skilled in Great Innate Vajra and Yellow Court, unable to discern the identities and backgrounds of these individuals.

First expressing gratitude for ’eliminating evil for the people,’ clearing demons from Black Mountain, then when Chen Zhenwu tentatively inquired about their origins...

He realized,

these people...

had a truly terrifying background!

Avoiding delay,

he hurriedly reported to the Guardian Mansion.

But for these individuals of special status...

they could not be freely arranged.

After all, several Primordial Pill Martial Artists, combined together, could easily eliminate all the high-ranking officials of Black Mountain.

Following Guardian Chen Zhao’s guidance and advice, Chen Zhenwu cautiously arranged them in the finest Guest House in the city, then, according to his father’s intention, came to invite ’Jixia’ for a conversation.

Upon arriving at the Guardian Mansion.

Chen Zhao dismissed all his subordinates, including his son who reported, leaving only Jixia in the room.

Suddenly,

his face showed a worried expression:

"Mr. Ji, there are no outsiders here."

"I intend to inquire..."

"regarding the ’Black Mountain Red Mist,’ and the mysterious ’Bronze Hall’ incident."

"Now, the outside of Black Mountain City is completely concealed. Not to mention the depths of Celestial Abyss, even on the outer layer, hunters cannot set foot. What exactly has occurred inside?"

"Or perhaps..."

"Why did those Martial Dao Primordial Pills who vanished and perished within Black Mountain decades ago reemerge?"

"Are they... like you?"

On the way, Jixia heard from Chen Zhenwu about disciples of Zither Sword Arts Hall receiving a message from Zither Sword Mountain, knowing Tantai Yao had achieved Sword True Master status.

Originally thinking it was due to this matter that Chen Zhao invited him for consultation, but halfway through the journey, Chen Zhenwu shifted the conversation, making Jixia realize it was actually because...

the Black Mountain Celestial Abyss, where in the past ’Immortal Nirvana Palace’ many Primordial Pill Martial Artists were sealed in coffins, presumably wiped of divine thought, mere corpses!

Jixia instinctively felt the matter was troublesome, then shook his head:

"They... are not like me."

"Do you know their identities?"

"After emerging from Black Mountain, is there any difference between these individuals and the current world?"

Remembering the words of the Immortal Nirvana True Monarch murmured beside him once, those words ’seemingly true but false,’ Jixia’s heart suddenly skipped a beat for unknown reasons.

He instinctively felt the matter wouldn’t be so simple.

Nirvana Corpses originate from past bodies, inheriting all memories and intelligence after the divine thought is wiped, thus coming into being.

This was the truth told to him personally by the True Monarch bound by chains.

As for the truth behind it, or how it actually is.

Jixia couldn’t know.

Now,

seeing with his own eyes, Martial Artists of the ’Primordial Pill Realm’ truly transformed into ’Nirvana Corpses,’ emerging from Black Mountain, his mood sank.

These Primordial Pill Masters, who died in total two or three dozen years ago, all can ’return to life.’

Then,

the Baoping Grand General Dragon-slaying Marquis Jiang Xiao, Master of Xuanbing Cave Qin Wubai, Gu Family Ancestor trapped within the three ’main coffins’,

would they also awaken?

If they truly awaken, what sort of earthquake would it cause for Baoping State?

More importantly...

If these individuals can all appear, what about himself?

Fifty-seven years later,

with his divine thought returning via the ’Reincarnation Celestial Book.’

Is there another flesh left behind by him, named ’Song Chai Xin,’...

that will also be reborn, using his former identity to live again?

Absurd!

Jixia furrowed his brows, thinking about this speculation, felt a headache arising.

If the matter of ’Nirvana Kin’ was indeed true, then possibly, this speculation may be undeniably accurate.

"This..."

"there truly is a difference."

"They seem to have forgotten the details of ’that scene’ happened in Black Mountain back then, can’t remember specifics, nor why they appeared in Black Mountain."

"But shouldn’t pose any problem, right?"

"Among those entering Black Mountain City were six Primordial Pills, these six decades ago were all renowned figures."

"The Shunan Demon Hunter near Wutong Prefecture, Dong Zhen’e, the orthodox Sword Dao within Wutong Prefecture, Cliff Master of Sword Ridge Cliff Meng Pool, others are also extraordinary."

"By the way, also from the Prefecture City, named ’Lin Shao,’ who once briefly replaced Mr. Ji as Wutong Prefecture Venerable, is among the ’Dragon Tiger Pass’ Martial Artists as well."

In response to Jixia’s words, Chen Zhao revealed the background of these ’revived’ Primordial Pills.

Shunan Demon Hunter.

Cliff Master of Sword Ridge Cliff.
