And shortly after the Thousand-Faced Old Ghost destroyed his soul, the calm pool of blood suddenly began to surge under a huge cave somewhere in Xizhou.
With a loud "crash", a bloody corpse suddenly stood up and walked ashore with stiff steps.
As the blood color faded, the corpse instantly resumed breathing, and then its face squirmed and turned into the appearance of a thousand-faced old ghost.
Invisibly, a group of scattered souls gathered at the temple, turning into a ray of light and penetrating into the center of the eyebrows.
The next moment, the Thousand-Faced Old Ghost regained consciousness, his legs softened, and he collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
Although he has successfully resurrected through his innate secret method, the pain of resentment still remains in his memory, not only making his returned soul in constant fear, but also mixed with a dirty thought that cannot be eliminated.
"Xiang! Sheng!"
The Thousand-Faced Old Ghost gritted his teeth, the hatred in his eyes almost solidified into substance.
He was a descendant of the Celestial Clan, yet he was defeated by a lowly female cultivator from the Human Race. Such a great shame and humiliation, he would not be able to vent his hatred until he was torn into pieces!
The Thousand-Faced Old Ghost took a deep breath, a look of determination in his eyes, and he casually put on the robe beside the blood pool and left quickly.
Soon, he came to a high platform, knelt down on the platform, and respectfully called out, "Father."
The next moment, a tall illusory figure suddenly appeared out of thin air on the platform and looked down.
Sensing that indifferent gaze falling on him, the Thousand-Faced Old Ghost's expression tightened slightly, and he immediately said, "Regarding Dongzhou, I have something to report!"
The Thousand-Faced Old Ghost quickly explained the whole story of Dongzhou, and finally said, "Xiang Sheng has become the body of an earth god, and he is assisted by a master who can fool the laws of nature. I have no way to deal with him, so I beg father to give me some guidance!"
After saying this, the illusory figure did not respond.
In the silence, a layer of sweat appeared on the forehead of the Thousand-Faced Old Ghost. Fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long before the illusory figure finally spoke slowly.
"Dongzhou, give up for now."
The Thousand-Faced Old Ghost was shocked when he heard this. He immediately looked up and said hurriedly, "Father, what about Xiang Sheng..."
"shut up."
The illusory figure interrupted coldly, "Just a momentary setback has caused you to lose your composure?"
The Thousand-Faced Old Ghost was startled and said, "No, my child."
"This matter is actually due to your negligence. Now that the incarnation of Dongzhou Heaven and Earth has appeared, there is no chance for infiltration for the time being."
The illusory figure spoke at this point, his tone slowing slightly, "However, as long as the inheritance tower is not opened, the secrets of Dongzhou will not be revealed, so there is no need to rush."
The Thousand-Faced Old Ghost felt aggrieved at heart, but he dared not show it on the surface. He could only nod in agreement and said, "Father, you are absolutely right."
"We Celestials have a long lifespan, so what we should not lack the most is patience. We should not be obsessed with immediate gains and losses."
When the illusory figure said this, he stretched out an illusory finger and pointed it at the Thousand-Faced Old Ghost's eyebrows. An invisible sealing force immediately invaded his sea of consciousness, blocking all the memories of the resentful soul.
The Thousand-Faced Old Ghost let out a long sigh, "Thank you, Father, for rescuing me."
"Eastern Continent is out of control, and the connection between the two continents is inevitable. Recover your cultivation as soon as possible and assist your brother in dealing with the impact. Make amends for your sins, otherwise I cannot save you."
"Remember this, my child!"
The Thousand-Faced Old Ghost looked up and saw that the illusory figure had disappeared at some point, and his face became gloomy.
He could clearly feel that his father's attitude towards him was much colder than before.
It’s all because of Xiang Sheng… This matter cannot be let go like this!
…
Two days later, Dongzhou resumed negotiations between the two continents.
The negotiations went exceptionally smoothly. Li Yu added a "50/50 profit sharing with the Earth God" precondition to all additional conditions.
In exchange, the Earth God must ensure the safety of the disciples of the Wanmai Sword Sect when they enter Dongzhou.
This was just a piece of cake for Xiang Sheng, so he naturally agreed to it directly through Jiang Yi.
The two continents merged together and formed a stable channel in just one day, but both sides needed time to organize and prepare.
The date for the westward migration was set for half a month later.
Afterwards, the entire Dongzhou cultivation world was in an uproar!
Apart from anything else, no cultivator could resist the temptation of entering Xizhou to improve their spiritual roots.
However, no matter how bustling the world of cultivation was, it had nothing to do with the small, secular city of Dushui. Even when ordinary people heard gossip about "migration to the west" and "improving spiritual roots," most of them just laughed it off.
The idea that mortals cannot cultivate has long been deeply rooted.
After the battle in Siji City, Xiang Sheng returned to Zifang, without Li Changting and Xiang Jianjue by his side.
Fengfeng found that the calligraphy studio was open, so she came over to ask. When she didn't see Li Changting and the others, she sighed in disappointment and then continued to go to school.
Blacksmith Chen and Widow Wang didn't even ask any more questions and just went about their daily lives.
Zifang seemed to have returned to its former tranquility, but Xiang Sheng's communication talisman had not stopped vibrating for a moment since he came back.
Too many messages came in. Lin Beilan, Xiang Jianjue, Tang Yin, Luo Qingyun... and so on and so forth.
At Xiang Sheng's instruction, Jiang Yi did not conceal the matter of the Earth God.
Only then did everyone know the truth about how the battle at the center of the earth was turned into victory.
The God of Earth, with his invincible power, turned the tide and saved Dongzhou, but he was also bound by the core of the earth and could only stay in Dongzhou forever.
Countless Dongzhou cultivators sighed, while Lin Beilan and others were shocked and heartbroken. They immediately sent a message to inquire, and Tang Yin even cried and shouted that she wanted to come and see the master.
Unable to bear so many people calling him, Xiang Sheng, who had originally not planned to leave Dushui City, finally made time for a day to meet with everyone.
Xiang Sheng was not sure whether he could escape from the body of the Earth God. To be cautious, he naturally did not say much and just said goodbye quietly.
