Chapter 325 - 138: Soul-Controlling Black Insect, Traces of Resentful Fury, Heaven’s Avatar

"My precious!"

Mrs. Wu cried out in alarm, quickly beckoning the black mist into her hand and backing away hastily.

"Fellow Daoist Gui Chen, if you are willing to explain, then that couldn’t be better."

The Celestial Secret Sect Master said in a low, somber voice.

He looked at the Leader of Gui Chen Sect before him, and the sliver of unease in his heart grew ever heavier.

The Rebirth Buddha Venerable pressed his palms together.

"Amitabha Buddha."

"The matter is actually quite simple."

The Leader of Gui Chen Sect began, his tone nonchalant:

"Ten thousand years ago, I came to the Dayu Immortal Dynasty. As I traveled through its numerous cities and state capitals, I discovered something rather peculiar."

"The hundreds of thousands of cities and towns across the Dayu Immortal Dynasty’s Thirteen Provinces are not arranged randomly; they secretly align to form a strange pattern."

"It seems to be a Grand Array."

At this moment, he seemed to have no intention of hiding anything further.

Under the watchful gaze of the True Masters, he calmly began to tell the story from the beginning.

"The Netherworld Venerable Master was truly a peerless talent. He knew that the Seven Heroes and Three Li were immortal and indestructible—that even if killed, they would only be reborn."

"Therefore, he did not kill them. Instead, he used various means to seal every last one of the Seven Heroes and Three Li."

"He sealed these ten indescribable Great Demons in various places throughout the mortal realm and in the Netherworld."

"And beneath this very Da Yu Capital City lies one of them."

"Its name is Resentful Fury!"

The Leader of Gui Chen Sect glanced impassively at the Celestial Secret Sect Master.

"Fellow Daoist Celestial Secret, you are the one who wants this Resentful Fury. I presume you know far more about it than I do."

The Seven Heroes and Three Li were, according to legend, peerless Great Demons born of heaven and earth. Scarcely anyone present was unaware of them.

And Resentful Fury was one of the Seven Heroes and Three Li.

Legend had it that its wingspan was thousands of miles wide. With a single breath, it could swallow stars and exhale the moon. It was sinister and terrifying beyond measure.

"You jest, Fellow Daoist."

Feeling the subtle, probing gazes from all around, the Celestial Secret Sect Master shook his head slightly.

"The Seven Heroes and Three Li are an immense danger. Now that the Netherworld Venerable Master is gone, if one were to escape its bonds, no one in this world could control it. I may be arrogant, but I would never do such a thing."

"Fellow Daoist Gui Chen!"

A Feathered Transformation Great Power demanded, "Do you truly intend to release one of the Seven Heroes and Three Li?"

The other True Masters felt a chill run down their spines.

The thought that a legendary Great Demon lay dormant right beneath the Da Yu Capital City made them restless.

Over the past million years, countless Cultivators had fallen to the Seven Heroes and Three Li. It was impossible not to fear them.

"Fellow Daoist Gui Chen, we do not wish to make things difficult for you, but this matter is of the utmost importance. If you fail to explain yourself clearly, then do not blame us for the offense of personally paying a visit to your Earth Palace!"

True Man of Heavenly Tiger suddenly rose, his voice booming.

"And things will not be pleasant then!"

The other True Masters also looked on with grim expressions, their auras surging as they added their own interrogations.

Faced with the questioning of so many True Masters, the Leader of Gui Chen Sect let out a long sigh.

"Do you truly know what the Seven Heroes and Three Li are?"

"What do you mean by that?"

A thought struck the Taiqing Daoist. He quieted the murmurs of the other True Masters and asked:

"The legends say that the Seven Heroes and Three Li are peerless Great Demons born in ancient times. Is it possible there is a hidden truth to this story?"

"On this matter, Fellow Daoist Celestial Secret should be clearer than I."

The Leader of Gui Chen Sect sat calmly, his aura composed and deep, as he spoke in a low voice:

"Will you tell them, or shall I?"

"Amitabha Buddha."

Before the Celestial Secret Sect Master could speak, the Rebirth Buddha Venerable once again chanted the Buddha’s name.

"Allow this old monk to explain."

The Rebirth Buddha Venerable looked around at the assembled masters and began to speak slowly:

"The reason the Seven Heroes and Three Li are immortal and indestructible is not because they are so powerful as to be invincible. It is because they are Heaven-born Great Demons!"

"Heaven-born?"

A thought struck Zen Master Gu Yue. He bowed slightly and inquired:

"Buddha Venerable, when you say ’Heaven,’ which heaven do you speak of?"

The other True Masters were also startled, faintly grasping the profound meaning hidden in these words.

At this, the Leader of Gui Chen Sect gave a cold sneer.

"The Heaven above our heads, of course!"
