Free Web NovelChapter 751: Chapter 303: The Gate of the Fallen Emperor Opens!
Endless Southern Border, the mountains stretch on and on.
Everywhere, colorful miasma swirls around.
From a distance, it looks like a thick quilt covering the world.
In a dense mountain forest.
A nearly transparent soul shadow, like a ghost, swiftly flickered by, fast as the wind, making it impossible to capture. Whatever existed within the sight of this transparent soul shadow was all reflected into Jiang Shi’s mind at this moment.
It was as if this transparent soul shadow had become his eyes.
Swish, swish, swish, swish!
The soul shadow flashed by, fast as lightning.
After circling around a distant mountain range, it once again sped toward Jiang Shi, landing lightly in front of him.
Jiang Shi immediately showed a faint smile on his face.
This soul of Evil Monarch Wenti is indeed powerful!
After erasing its memory and refining it into a puppet, it was simply at his command.
Not only can it exert immense power, but even my Black Lotus Sacred Fire can be channeled through this transparent puppet.
In this way, it’s as if I’ve gained another avatar!
"It’s about time, I should head back and take a look."
Jiang Shi mused to himself.
He stomped his foot, his body instantly darting out, blending completely into the breeze, traveling with the wind, covering a thousand miles in a blink.
The transparent soul quickly followed behind him.
Half a day later.
In a wide and vast canyon.
The bodies of Jiang Shi and the transparent soul finally landed steadily.
As soon as they approached, Daoist Master Xuan and the gaunt elder from the depths of the canyon sensed them, and in a flash, they raced toward the mouth of the valley.
"Jiang Shi, you’re alright?"
Daoist Master Xuan showed pleasant surprise.
"Yes, lucky to be alive, escaped a disaster, the power of a saint is truly terrifying!"
Jiang Shi sighed deeply.
He initially hid his traces and erased clues, but after fleeing thousands of miles, he was still instantly locked on by a saint’s attack.
This god-like strength made him truly fearful.
If he hadn’t achieved sainthood in the flesh, it would have been almost impossible to resist under that Light Saber.
"The fact that you survived under the sword of the Profound Sun Ancient Saint already proves your strength. Profound Sun Ancient Saint is renowned among the Alien Race. He cultivated the Cause and Effect Secret Technique, and the slash he unleashed is called [Causality Slaying Sword]. As long as the cause and effect exist, no matter where you hide, that Light Saber can cut you along the cause and effect, known as the certain-kill sword. Now the entire outside world thinks you’re dead."
Daoist Master Xuan quickly said.
During this time, he carefully gathered information from the outside world, hearing a lot of useful intelligence.
"Oh? Causality Slaying Sword?"
Jiang Shi squinted his eyes.
No wonder this sword could strike his body from such a distance.
He killed Evil Monarch Wenti, creating strong cause and effect with the Alien Race.
With that kind of mastery, it naturally could easily lock onto him.
"You just mentioned that this ancient saint is the Profound Sun Ancient Saint among the Alien Race?"
Jiang Shi asked.
"Yes, the Profound Sun Ancient Saint is the ancestor of the Profound Sun clan, incredibly powerful, always secluded and unseen. But he emerged with the appearance of the Gate of the Fallen Emperor."
Daoist Master Xuan replied.
"I see."
Jiang Shi’s heart surged.
Profound Sun Ancient Saint...
You struck me with a sword; I will return this strike one day.
"Now that the outside world thinks I’m dead, it’s not a bad piece of news. This way, I can control the puppet and quietly infiltrate the outside world, gaining an understanding of the general situation."
Jiang Shi smiled faintly.
"Oh?"
Daoist Master Xuan’s eyes flashed, and he suddenly turned his gaze to the transparent soul shadow beside Jiang Shi.
The gaunt elder also looked on in surprise and scrutinized, exclaiming, "Is he Evil Monarch Wenti? You refined Evil Monarch Wenti’s soul into a puppet?"
"Wrong, just a wisp of his remnant soul."
Jiang Shi responded casually.
He mastered the Sutra of the Departed Soul, making the control of this remnant soul more than easy.
In his hands, this remnant soul was like a toy, controllable even from thousands of miles away.
More crucially, his power could be transmitted into the remnant soul at any time, exerting itself.
The only downside is that his talent cannot be channeled through the remnant soul.
"I never thought Evil Monarch Wenti still had a remnant soul. The outside world claims you killed him, but using his soul worked out perfectly. I’ve found out that the East Sea is in chaos, gathering countless forces. Among the Human Race, only a few forces can get close, while the others are all kept at bay."
Daoist Master Xuan said, "That ancient Gate of the Fallen Emperor is likely to open in the next few months."
"Is that so?"
Jiang Shi’s eyes flickered, "Then I might as well control this soul to take a look."
However, when it comes to the Profound Sun Ancient Saint, he must be extremely cautious.
If the Profound Sun Ancient Saint discovers his causality, he might make another move.
Next, Jiang Shi quickly walked back into the valley.
Once inside, he sat cross-legged, using the [Sutra of the Departed Soul] to control the wisp of remnant soul beside him.
Evil Monarch Wenti’s body immediately drifted out from there, as if traversing space, rushing swiftly toward the distance.
To prevent being recognized by others, Jiang Shi specifically used a strong Spiritual Power to veil Evil Monarch Wenti’s face, so even if someone suspected, they wouldn’t clearly see Evil Monarch Wenti’s true appearance.
Of course, true ancient saints are an exception.
In the eyes of ancient saints, Jiang Shi’s Spiritual Power is still too weak; the Restriction he set can be seen through at a glance.
