Chapter 767 - 761: Bringing Returning Ruins to Life

The Four Great Primordial Spirits know the Three Corpses Cutting Method.

The World Honored cooperated with the Buddha and Demon Lord, and even his entire cultivation was acquired by combining the strengths of their teachings.

Then, how the Three Corpses Cutting Method came to the World Honored is clear.

Obviously, he obtained the Three Corpses Cutting Method from the Demon Lord and Buddha.

Perhaps, apart from his self-created Nine Lives Reincarnation Technique, the rest of his Enlightenment Methods were learned from the Demon Lord and Buddha.

This World Honored, what a braggart he is!

The Yin Celestial Son slightly modified the known applications of the Three Corpses Cutting Method and informed the fat old man.

The fat old man, having lacked a chat partner for a long time, greatly cherished conversations with others.

In response to the Yin Celestial Son’s answers, he spoke without reservation.

"What you know about the Three Corpses Cutting Method is correct, the magic formulas aren’t complicated."

"In those days, the three Enlightenment Methods circulating in the Void were proving with strength, cutting three corpses, and achieving with faith."

"Of course, apart from these three widely circulated Enlightenment Methods, some gifted individuals also expanded on these three ways."

"Actually, despite branching out in development, it mainly revolves around these three methods," the fat old man slowly said.

Upon hearing this, the Yin Celestial Son understood.

In that case, the World Honored’s Nine Lives Reincarnation Technique back then evolved from the Three Corpses Cutting Method.

Ultimately, after his Nine Lives Reincarnation Technique was disrupted, he used the Great Aspiration Method, which substituted merit for the method of achieving with faith.

To say so, the World Honored was indeed a unique talent.

With his own power, he expanded two branches of the Enlightenment Methods.

After a conversation between Yin Celestial Son and the fat old man, they considered it to be delightful.

After quite a chat, the Yin Celestial Son got straight to the point and asked a critical question.

"Senior, there are so many arrays in Gui Xu."

"I want to know, is Gui Xu itself an array?" After asking, the Yin Celestial Son looked at the expression on the fat old man’s face.

Undoubtedly, this question is quite sensitive.

Since the fat old man is the first Array Spirit of Gui Xu, the Yin Celestial Son’s questions were practically probing the roots of Gui Xu.

However, surprisingly, the fat old man’s expression was normal as he truthfully answered: "Yes!"

"Gui Xu itself is a gigantic array, the indisputable number one grand array."

"Back then, I attempted to merge with Gui Xu but failed, so I settled for merging with the Returning Ruins Arena instead."

At this point, the fat old man gazed deeply at the Yin Celestial Son and asked, "Do you want to try?"

"Do you wish to fuse with Gui Xu and become its Array Spirit?"

The fat old man’s words startled the Yin Celestial Son, causing his projected body to shiver slightly.

Yin Celestial Son thought, could the fat old man have seen through his intentions?

"Senior is joking with me, I’m just curious."

"Rest assured, senior, I have no intention of competing with you over Gui Xu," the Yin Celestial Son, unsure of the fat old man’s thoughts, replied evasively.

Although he came to help Lin Yuan in the fusion of the Gui Xu Grand Array, the Yin Celestial Son couldn’t reveal his true intentions before understanding the fat old man’s motives.

The fat old man looked at the Yin Celestial Son and said, "Call me a friend instead of senior."

"Our hearts are connected, playing mind games with each other!"

"They say, one doesn’t go to the Three Treasures Palace for no reason; your visit must have an agenda."

"Since you have an agenda, you may as well speak frankly."

"To be honest, I am eager for someone to fuse with Gui Xu and become its Array Spirit."

"The members of the Void Race that could become Array Spirits, were helped by me."

"If you truly can fuse with Gui Xu and become its Array Spirit, I am willing to help you wholeheartedly, even if it means my own soul dissipating into nothingness."

The fat old man’s sincere words compelled the Yin Celestial Son to believe him.

The Yin Celestial Son, somewhat puzzled, cautiously asked, "Friend, what are you aiming for?"

Aiming for what?

This question left the fat old man stunned.

For a moment, he too didn’t know what he was aiming for.

After pondering for a while, the fat old man asked the Yin Celestial Son: "Since you are the Evil Corpse of that kid, can you see what I was before I became the Array Spirit?"

Yin Celestial Son: "???"

The Yin Celestial Son was taken aback, he possessed keen insight but truly couldn’t discern what the fat old man had been before becoming the Array Spirit.

Not to mention what the fat old man was before becoming the Array Spirit, even now, the Yin Celestial Son hadn’t figured out the particulars of this Array Spirit.

However, what hasn’t been figured out can be analyzed and speculated.

Since the fat old man identified the Yin Celestial Son as an Evil Corpse, that means he saw through the Yin Celestial Son’s origins.

Then, it’s very likely the fat old man wasn’t the original body and was one of the three corpses left by a supreme being of the past Gui Xu.

The three corpses are the Good Corpse, Evil Corpse, and Possession Corpse.

Each corpse carries a distinct aura.

The Yin Celestial Son himself is an Evil Corpse, and he didn’t sense the same aura from the fat old man.

So, the possibility of the fat old man being an Evil Corpse can be excluded.

The aura of a Good Corpse and Evil Corpse is starkly opposite and easily distinguishable, meaning the fat old man is not a Good Corpse either.

If so, he can only be a Possession Corpse.

"Could it be that you were once a Possession Corpse of a mighty being?" the Yin Celestial Son inquired.

The fat old man nodded and answered, "Correct, I was indeed a Possession Corpse of a mighty being in Gui Xu."

"A Possession Corpse is formed from the severed obsession of a corpse, and the mighty being’s obsession was for Gui Xu to someday come to life."

"Everything I have done is to bring Gui Xu to life, no longer to be a land of death."

"Helping the Void Race is in this way, and helping you too."

The fat old man’s words utterly convinced the Yin Celestial Son.

Thus, everything made sense.

The fat old man helped the Void Race become Array Sprits, allowing most arrays in Gui Xu to come ’alive.’

But this wasn’t enough, far from enough.

Enabling these arrays to come ’alive’ was merely the first step.

Bringing the entire Gui Xu ’alive’ was the fat old man’s ultimate dream.

And the first step to bring Gui Xu to life is to find an Array Spirit for Gui Xu.

If Gui Xu is considered a person, then the Array Spirit would be the soul.

The first step in reviving a person is to let their soul return.

After hearing the fat old man’s words, the Yin Celestial Son understood that although their starting points were different, their destination was the same.

The Yin Celestial Son wanted to help Lin Yuan sever the Evil Corpse, while the fat old man wanted to find an Array Spirit for Gui Xu, which coincided perfectly!

Thus, the Yin Celestial Son didn’t hold back and revealed all his thoughts.

After hearing the Yin Celestial Son’s thoughts, the fat old man contemplated for a long time, then said: "If he can pass through the Void and enter Gui Xu, I will do my utmost to help him sever the Good Corpse and become Gui Xu’s Array Spirit."

"If he needs my assistance even to enter Gui Xu, then he doesn’t deserve to be Gui Xu’s Array Spirit."
