Just like watching a walking light, the blood pupil transformed by Qing Yu’s divine sense came together in Xuan Guang’s sea of consciousness, browsing through the memories that were poured out.
In the gloomy underground palace, Xuan Guang stepped into the pool of foul currents rolling in, undergoing the baptism of the earth’s fierce Qi amidst hissing sounds.
At the edge of the pool is a crane-haired old man dressed in a black sacrificial robe. The old man stood with his arms folded, his sturdy figure no less robust than that of a young man.
This one, the Great Witch Priest of the Southern Border, is a living fossil of the Wiccan religion.
“Xuan Guang, the only way you can shed your bones and forge the foundation for a higher realm is to undergo the refinement of your body with fierce Qi. Only then, too, can you become —— one of our own from the Witch Clan.”
The Great Witch Priest pressed down with one hand, and the Fury Qi was like a vortex centered around Xuan Guang, continuously pouring into his body.
At the same time, Xuan Guang stored his spirit and concentrated his qi, integrating the fierce qi into his body and tattooing his torso with battle patterns.
When Qing Yu saw this, he thought deeply in his heart: ‘The Southern Border Battle Body is a body similar to a bloodline, if an outsider wants to develop a battle body, he will need to go through an extremely complicated witch ritual, and he will also need a large amount of Fury Qi as sustenance. And, ideally, there should be an expert to guide them.
It is too difficult for an outsider to train to become a warrior body.”
Qing Yu had once seen the might of the Interligator in the memories of the True Martial Emperor, so how could he not be moved by the Battle Body?
But it was too difficult for an outsider to practice a battle body. Other than that, just the large amount of Earth Death Qi was no small challenge, along with the witch rituals and so on.
Even after watching the process of Xuan Guang practising the Battle Body, Qing Yu was unable to recreate it. Simply because the key witch sacrifice ritual was in the hands of the great witch priest, and although Xuan Guang was the one who experienced it, he knew little about it.
”The Southern Border side is also heavily guarded.”
Qing Yu’s divine thoughts urged him to speed up the excavation of Xuan Guang’s memories, allowing him to pour out the water from the bottle like an inverted water bottle in a steady stream.
“Got to make the two Buddhist and Daoist clans evenly matched so that they can fight to the death ——”
“That emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty has already agreed to a secret union with our clan ——”
“Xuan Guang, you personally take action, Hou Huai will rush to support you ——”
——
The Southern Border war body is a characteristic of the witch tribe, and it is easier to have a war body, which means becoming a member of the witch tribe. Although the great witch priest was wary of Xuan Guang’s two-faced nature, he did not treat him as an outsider. Therefore, Xuan Guang still knew a lot of secret secrets of the southern border.
For example, the Witch King had negotiated terms of cooperation with the Qian Emperor, and the Great Qian would turn a blind eye to the actions of the Witch Clan in the Central Plains. However, the union of these two parties was not very secure either is all.
After all, it was the ancestors of the Ji family who had defeated the Inter Lie Clan and expelled the original Wu Clan, the Inter Lie Clan, to the then Southern Wilderness region.
”Hou Huai, that Tong Shen realm archer, he’s still the brother of the Witch King, a sort of royal clan member, right?” Qing Yu thought of the Tong Shen archer he had met when he possessed Jian Ji earlier.
Even the Witch King’s brother had appeared, so it was clear that the Witch Clan of the Southern Border was determined. They really wanted to meddle in the affairs of the Central Plains.
After browsing through the rest of the memories once more and finding that there was nothing more pressing, Qing Yu released the finger pressing Xuan Guang’s forehead and withdrew his hand, “That’s enough, the news within Xuan Guang’s mind has basically been learned by the poor dao.”
The news observed in this way was a bit intermittent, but still relatively comprehensive. At least, it was much more comprehensive than letting Xuan Guang speak for himself.
“Then, Sect Leader, how should this traitor be punished?” Tong Hua asked.
According to the True Martial Sect’s hatred value towards Xuan Guang, Xuan Guang was bound to die. But how to die, there was still something to be done, we could not let Xuan Guang die too easily, otherwise it would be difficult to dispel the hatred of the sect.
“After all, it is a Tong Shen realm powerhouse, it is still somewhat valuable to use.”
Qing Yu explored his hand and fished Xuan Guang out of the Taiji Diagram, with dark grey Qi lingering in his hand, covering the crystal made of Tai Su Qi, making Xuan Guang truly a stone statue.
Moreover, it was a stone sculpture that maintained its kneeling posture.
“Place this statue on the mountain path of Chonghe Peak and subject it to the wind and rain as a punishment. Half of Xuan Guang’s roots belong to the martial arts of this school, and the other half is the Qi of Earthquake. This statue can be connected to the Great Formation to turn the turbid fury into peace, to contain the sect’s earthly qi, and to absorb the energy of heaven and earth for other uses.”
Qing Yu looked at the stone statue, which remained in a kneeling position, seemingly in repentance, and said quietly.
With the ability of a Tong Shen realm powerhouse, absorbing the energy of heaven and earth would not guarantee death by starvation, and Xuan Guang would remain as a tool statue of the True Martial Sect, shining for the future of the sect.
In a few hundred years’ time, Xuan Guang may be long dead, but his body will still be in service to the sect he betrayed for eternity.
“Doesn’t he want to live? The Poor Dao grants him that he will always live and pay for his past.”
“Good. This is a wonderful method, the only way to take away our hatred is to punish in this way.” Tongming shouted in approval, and Tonghua nodded in agreement.
Xuan Guang had really offended the True Martial Sect. One of the reasons why Qingyu came up with such a method was because his realm had been refined again and it would not be too much to say that he was a god or devil in the world, so there was room for some fantastic ideas to come true.
The other is to reuse waste, even a piece of toilet paper has its uses, not to mention a strong man of the God Realm.
Punishing Xuan Guang, on the contrary, was put last.
But for the Two Elders, punishing Xuan Guang was the only and most important reason. They wanted to make this traitor irrevocable, and death would be the best gift to Xuan Guang.
This method of Qing Yu’s could be said to have taken advantage of their wishes.
“Then let us punish with this method.”
Qing Yu glanced at the stone statue and secretly thought, ‘It feels similar to the treatment of Qin Hui in his previous life’s history, Xuan Guang is really going to leave a stink for all eternity. Either ——
In the future, all the enemies that can be caught will be according to this method?’
It had to be said that this was a heartwarming method. If ten Tong Shen realm stone statues were installed, the power of the True Martial Seven Tribulation Formation would all go up a notch, and the spiritual rhythm of all seven True Martial peaks could be enhanced after many years.
This method was not, in fact, without precedent.
Back then, Zhang Daoling, the founder of the Dragon Tiger Mountain, sealed the bones of the Ghost Emperor in a secret realm with this idea in mind. Unfortunately, his descendants did not give him the strength to do so, and the corpse bones, which had almost been refined, came back to life and swallowed the mysterious realm’s vital energy instead.
With his mind made up, Qing Yu grabbed the stone statue with his hand and lifted the weight as lightly as he could, flying straight out of the secret realm and soaring into the sky.
“Let’s settle there.”
With a toss of his hand, the stone statue descended from the sky like a comet, but landed on the ground without a sound, safe and sound.
To reach the square in front of the Taiji Hall, one has to walk up eighty-one steps, and Xuan Guang’s stone statue is kneeling in front of the Chinese white jade steps.
