Inside the “Ghost’s Grief”, five chains were wrapped around the corpse.
Located respectively on the four limbs and the neck, five places in total.
It was unknown what material the chains were made of, nor what the obscure golden symbols etched on them represented. But the intuition was —— what a formidable sight!
To give you an idea, the corpse was filled with powerful ghost qi from which emerged elite-level specters with just a slight draw. It showed the extent of its power.
So one could only imagine how sturdy these five chains were and how effective they were at restraining it.
And yet, now, these chains turned out to be broken.
And not just one or two chains, but all of them snapped at the same time!
What was even stranger was that under normal circumstances, if it was a regular walking corpse, the moment the chains were broken, it would be free.
But it remained motionless.
As if the chains were not confining the body, but…
The power within the body!
A mark, resembling a shrunk black feather at the center of the corpse’s forehead, was flickering with black light. Gradually, a faint golden light emerged within the black glow.
The interweaving gold and black brought a terrifying pressure to the surroundings.
Within “Ghost’s Grief”, apart from the Guardian, Snake Elder, all of Boundless Mountain’s disciples fell on their knees.
Not because they wanted to kneel, but because the immense pressure of a mountain forcing them down, causing them to struggle to even breathe.
Due to the heavy ghost qi and yin qi within “Ghost’s Grief”, the temperature was extremely low, with a deep bone-chilling coldness.
But at this moment, the surrounding temperature rose sharply, and all the ghost qi and yin qi within the trial ground vanished completely in an instant!
Fire! It seemed as though an invisible fire was engulfing the surroundings!
Not only did the disciples of Boundless Mountain feel the heat rise around them, but even their veins and blood began to boil!
Even their divine sense and qi sea seemed to be burning up!
With a grim expression, Snake Elder radiated a wave of dark-green ripples, protecting all the disciples around him.
But that was all he could do.
The mighty seventh-stage creature was filled with a deep sense of powerlessness at this moment.
He could sense that the anomaly originated from the corpse deep within “Ghost’s Grief”. But if he went there, all the disciples here would die!
And he had a premonition that once he approached there, he would also die!
The corpse still remained motionless, but a pillar of light somehow shot straight out from within “Ghost’s Grief”!
What was even more fearsome was that he could not observe it for too long, neither his physical eyes nor his divine sense could look directly at the light pillar for long.
Because it was as if he was watching…
The scorching sun of the mortal realm!
On Boundless Mountain, hundreds of Spirit Crows carried on living as they usually did.
They were the mascots of Boundless Mountain, eating and drinking well, with a home and no natural enemies, their lives as blissful as immortals.
But for their difficulties in procreation, their number hadn’t grown much over the years. Otherwise, Boundless Mountain would probably have been filled with flocks of Spirit Crows.
The crows were naturally noisy, and the Spirit Crows of Boundless Mountain had larger voices than normal crows, which made them all the more rowdy.
Whenever one of them cawed, a few others would instantly join in.
However, the people here liked the commotion, as it was otherwise ice and snow, with not much human activity. The disciples all seemed cold, but that was just a facade.
Suddenly, all the Spirit Crows on Boundless Mountain began to squawk loudly together.
“Caw——! Caw——!”
“Caw——! Caw——!”
The cawing was continuous, each Spirit Crow seemed very excited, but there was an underlying fear and awe in their eyes!
At this moment, even though they were all cawing loudly, not one of them took flight. They didn’t even perch on tree branches, but all landed on the ground.
Each Spirit Crow lowered its head, causing their caws to grow louder!
“What’s going on?”
Feng Wuming and the Elders exchanged glances, both finding it slightly strange.
This was the first time such an anomaly had occurred!
Feng Wuming looked in the direction of “Ghost’s Grief”, as if understanding something.
“So, this is what the Master wants!”, Feng Wuming sighed.
“Sect Leader, what do you mean by ‘what the Master wants’?” an Elder asked.
Feng Wuming waved his hand and said, “This is Boundless Mountain’s best-kept secret, it’s only shared with a sect leader once they take office.”
He looked at everyone and continued, “No matter what happens next, we must not interfere, just let it unfold naturally.”
“But… this…” Someone wanted to say something, but seeing Feng Wuming’s solemn face, he shut his mouth.
In the end, everyone simply echoed together: “Yes, Sect Leader!”
Meanwhile, Lu Xun and the others also stopped their paper cranes.
Seeing the heavenly anomalies in the sky, they couldn’t help but stop to spectate, to join the crowd.
A pillar of light shot up, reaching the skies!
“What is this thing? So blinding!” Lu Xun squinted, “It seems to have come from the direction of ‘Ghost’s Grief’?”
When the object came to a halt in the sky, at a glance, it appeared that there were two, one large and one small, suns on the horizon!
But this sudden “sun” seemed to be melting rapidly, followed by a violent explosion!
“Damn!” Lu Xun cursed in his heart: “It’s not going to rain fire now, is it?”
In the resulting endless brightness, not just Lu Xun, even Mao Nanbei couldn’t open his eyes.
“Hey, little junior brother, little Chan, close your eyes!” Mao Nanbei yelled.
Lu Xun and Lin Chan immediately did as told, and Ye Sui An followed suit.
It was too bright, too dazzling.
And the power it held was too terrifying!
More accurately, the pressure it exerted made people dare not look directly at it!
At that moment, Lu Xun heard wave after wave of crow caws.
“Caw——!”
“Caw——!”
Could it be that this scatterbrained crow had gone blind?
Or had it encountered some kind of problem?
Right now, Lu Xun had no time to worry about its wellbeing.
With the occurrence of the celestial anomaly, it wasn’t his priority.
If it really had a problem, it would simply make for an extra meal tonight.
Bringing a single feather of a Spirit Crow or bringing back an entire Spirit Crow didn’t seem to make much difference to him.
He was unaware that just now a droplet of boiling black-and-gold liquid had descended from the sky, dripping into the center of the crow’s forehead.
Then, it quickly seeped in, as if nothing had happened.
There was no ripple effect from the crow, it didn’t detect much either.
The reason it was cawing non-stop, was because being in such a terrifying situation, it felt something touch itself, then…
It got scared out of its wits!
