Chapter 812 - 366: Grand Gift (Part 3)

The evaluation level of the Demigod Myth can also be seen as remarkable.

"And after absorbing enough poison and miasma, the level might further increase."

Chu Xiu’s face revealed a smile, as he couldn’t wait to test the power of this treasure.

Raising his hand, he stored the Myriad Filth Returning Origin Bag and the Immortal Stele into his Storage Space, then sat cross-legged to begin restoring his depleted Mana and Spirit.

Three days later, with his state fully recovered, Chu Xiu exited the cave and said to Su Jinyu, who had been waiting outside, "Let’s go to Penglai."

Su Jinyu did not object, obediently following behind Chu Xiu.

She recalled that each time she met Chu Xiu, his strength would skyrocket, and given the recent phenomenon, she feared his abilities would transform drastically once again.

A genius like him certainly has the confidence to face anything with his strength.

Soon, with the "Guiding Lamp" lit, they returned to You City.

However, the moment Chu Xiu opened his eyes, he uttered a soft "huh."

The reason was simple, You City was too quiet at this moment.

Not only had all the ghosts that had gathered around the Immortal Stele outside the city disappeared, but even the ghosts within the city were gone.

Chu Xiu frowned slightly, using his Divine Sense to scan, and quickly found a barrier resisting the Death Qi nearby, where the four from the Celestial Mechanics Guild and Jiang Miaoyin were.

The five of them showed expressions of delight upon seeing Chu Xiu.

"What happened?" Chu Xiu asked.

Jiang Miaoyin hesitated and said, "We don’t know either; about ten days ago, all the ghosts suddenly seemed to be controlled, walking toward the depths of You City, and from outside the city, ghosts continuously came, but once they entered You City, they never came out again."

"But the Death Qi within the city is too dense, and we dare not venture further, not knowing what changes have occurred in the city."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu did not blame them, but instead asked the four from the Celestial Mechanics Guild, "How are your bodies?"

"Not quite sure..." The four looked a bit odd, and it was Shen Tianxie, the one with the highest talent among them, who finally spoke, "The Death Qi inside us has been purified, but somehow, our bodies still resemble the Living Dead."

"They even feel... heavier."

"Senior, do you know why this is happening?"

Chu Xiu thought that he had no idea, but maintained a calm face and said, "Follow me."

Upon this, the five were pleasantly surprised, and Chen Lengqiang tentatively asked, "Senior, are you going to climb the mountain?"

Chu Xiu nodded and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll take you with me. Maybe when we reach Penglai, there will be a solution."

Upon hearing this, the five showed expressions of delight.

Even though they were unsure how Chu Xiu would face such terrifying Death Qi, they believed that even a Demigod Awakened might not reach the summit, let alone take so many people along.

But since Chu Xiu spoke, they had no doubts.

Chu Xiu raised his hand and formed a Demon Energy Barrier to block the surrounding Death Qi, and under his protection, the group smoothly entered the Inner Ring of You City.

However, just as they passed through the last city wall, they all stopped in their tracks, revealing incredulous expressions.

Even Chu Xiu showed rare astonishment.

Before the Holy Mountain, near the Immortal Palace, lay a mass of ghost corpses, as if they had been gathered like farm pigs and slaughtered en masse, showing no signs of resistance!

In the center of these ghost corpses was a vacant area, where a heap of treasures lay, resembling a small mound. At a glance, it seemed that all the treasures of You City were gathered there!

"Senior, this is..."

Everyone was stunned by the scene before them.

Just then, a flash of memory hit Chu Xiu, recalling the words spoken by a mysterious face.

[All the resources of this world belong to you; come see me soon.]

"So that’s what it means? What a... spectacular gesture."

Chu Xiu’s lips curled in a cold smile as he lifted his head towards the Holy Mountain.

At the peak of the Holy Mountain, eight figures looked down as if awaiting his performance.

Beyond that, in the higher spatial vortex, within the depths of what was known as the Penglai Immortal Realm, a gaze quietly watched him.

Surrounded by six others, Chu Xiu sensed the terrifying aura above, and gazed upon the grand, majestic Death Qi Waterfall cascading from ten thousand meters high, causing their faces to pale.

Only Chu Xiu remained unafraid, with an excited smile flickering in his eyes.

"All the Emperors, two deities, and six kings have come?"

"Since they’ve laid out such a grand setup to welcome me, I can’t let them down."

With a light chuckle, Chu Xiu hesitated no more, and his form sped towards the summit of the Holy Mountain!
