Currently, the only person on the Heavenly Dao side who can control the formations of the Abyss Land and create these undead souls is Fen Qi, because Zhou Donghan doesn't know any formations at all.
Qin Moyu was not surprised at all that Fen Qi could use the Ghost Tomb Technique, because Shen Yu had mentioned before that the Ghost Tomb and the Fen family were very close, and that the people in the Ghost Tomb were so arrogant because they had the Fen family as their backer.
However, he still had some questions in his mind.
"The Heavenly Dao needs flesh and blood and spiritual energy to take form, but it doesn't necessarily have to use this formation, right? After all, it is the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao. Once it dies, its flesh and blood and spiritual energy can return to the world and be automatically absorbed, right? With such a big operation, aren't you afraid that someone will try to sabotage it?"
Regarding Qin Moyu's question, Shen Mo slowly spoke:
"Because He not only wanted to take human form, but also wanted to directly use the formation to refine the entire world."
Although the Heavenly Dao needs a lot of spiritual energy to take form, as long as it can remain calm and accumulate it slowly, since it will not die, it will eventually be able to take form. Even Shen Mo cannot do anything to it.
Besides accelerating His transformation, this formation is most importantly used to "refine" the world as it spreads, absorbing its spiritual energy and vitality.
Indeed, in the plan of Heaven, the entire world is His stepping stone.
He said.
This world doesn't need any other living beings; I'm enough.
Chapter 81. Witness: Mo Yu said it's the best...
Qin Moyu thought he was fully aware of the Heavenly Dao's ambitions, but it turned out he was too naive. The Heavenly Dao's desires were far beyond his comprehension.
But if the ultimate goal of Heaven is to refine the world, wouldn't the Guanlan Sect of the Southern Kingdom be in danger?
Qin Moyu felt a surge of anxiety when he thought of Xuanjing Zhenren, whose injuries had not yet healed.
He understood Xuanjing Zhenren's temperament. If Guanlan Sect was truly in danger, Xuanjing Zhenren would definitely return to protect it even if he was ill. Shen Mo, on the other hand, would definitely stay in the Southern Kingdom. If something happened to Xuanjing Zhenren, wouldn't it be too late to help him in a crisis?
"Don't worry, let's go back first. Maybe things aren't as bad as we think." Shen Mo saw Qin Moyu's anxiety and, without saying a word, led Qin Moyu back to the Southern Kingdom.
Shen Mo returned much faster this time than they had come, and Qin Moyu became more and more uneasy as they got closer to the Southern Kingdom.
As expected, the southern border was surrounded by the vengeful spirits of the Skeletons, but the army that had returned at some unknown time held them off tenaciously.
It turns out that Shen Sheng had been worried about the Heavenly Dao's counterattack, so when the Demon Lord set off to deal with the forces in Xizhou, he had already sent the army back to the capital. The army that had just returned had no time to breathe a sigh of relief before they went to fight this disaster again. He gave the local authorities a strict order to pay attention to the situation and to send people to completely eliminate any corpse demons that were found in a certain place. Therefore, the situation in the Southern Kingdom was relatively optimistic.
At least Qin Moyu could sense that apart from the atmosphere being a bit more serious than before, people's lives in the capital had not been greatly affected.
Qin Moyu guessed correctly; when he returned, Master Xuanjing was already barely holding back.
In fact, after hearing about the changes in the Abyss, Master Xuanjing wanted to return to Guanlan Sect immediately, but Shen Sheng persuaded him to stay.
Shen Sheng told Xuanjing Zhenren that the situation in Dongzhou was unclear, and it would be better to wait for news from Dongzhou before setting off, rather than rushing back. This would ensure that there would be no accidents and give Xuanjing Zhenren more time to recover.
Master Xuanjing was extremely anxious, but no news came back. However, he managed to hold back his anger when Shen Sheng asked, "Does Senior want Qin Moyu to return and be worried when he finds you missing?"
One day, two days...
Master Xuanjing grew up in the Guanlan Sect and has a deep affection for it. Now that the Guanlan Sect is in danger, he is not there. Guilt and worry are like a worm clinging to his bones, making him feel like he is living in a year. However, he is also worried about Qin Moyu. He is afraid that Qin Moyu will be anxious if he returns and does not see him.
Qin Moyu had already been heartbroken by the unexpected attack from Fenqi before, and this time he was determined not to let Qin Moyu worry again.
Because of mutual suspicion and distrust among the various families and sects, the situation in the Eastern Continent was much worse than in the Southern Kingdom. News spread back to the Southern Kingdom like snowflakes, but most of it was not good news.
After discovering that something was wrong in the abyss, Guanlan Sect immediately took measures, activating the sect's protective formation and summoning all the residents at the foot of the mountain to Guanlan Sect. At the same time, they sent disciples down the mountain to defend against the attack and prevent the area from being besieged.
Because of the formation left by Jiang Hua, Guanlan Sect is not in danger for the time being, but no one knows what will happen if the dark clouds really reach Guanlan Sect, not to mention the deadly Yi Fire.
"Master!" Qin Moyu entered the room just in time to see Master Xuanjing pacing back and forth in the courtyard.
"Mo Yu, you're back!" Xuan Jing Zhenren's eyes lit up when he saw Qin Mo Yu. He briefly explained what had happened in the Abyss Land, and then said with a serious expression, "I'm going back to Guanlan Sect."
"No, it's too dangerous." Qin Moyu refused without even thinking.
Master Xuanjing frowned, but before he could speak, Qin Moyu interrupted him: "Master, in your current state, let alone protecting the Guanlan Sect, I don't even know if you can make it to the Eastern Continent alive."
What are you saying, brat?! You look down on me like that!
Master Xuanjing's face was grim, and he looked very angry, but Qin Moyu did not back down at all when it came to Master Xuanjing's safety.
Qin Moyu spread her arms wide, striking a pose of throwing a tantrum, and pouted, saying, "I'll have Ye Bai lock you up later. Humph, you're clearly an old man, yet you still try to act tough. I remember you told me when I was eight that I was a big kid and shouldn't act impulsively. You're an old kid yourself, how come you're still so impulsive!"
Master Xuanjing never expected that he would be taught a lesson by Qin Moyu. He was both annoyed and amused: "You brat, you've really grown bold. You even dare to talk about your master like that."
Although he complained about Qin Moyu, Master Xuanjing felt a warm glow inside.
After all, Qin Moyu was only keeping him from leaving because she was worried about him.
"No matter what you say, you're not leaving. There's an array left by our predecessors at Guanlan Sect, so nothing will happen for the time being. Once the situation becomes clear, I'll go back with you." Qin Moyu sighed softly, looking up at Xuanjing Zhenren, his voice unconsciously lowering slightly, "I just don't feel at ease without watching over you..."
Master Xuanjing is a typical person who responds better to gentle persuasion than force. Even though he knew that Qin Moyu's pitiful appearance was most likely an act, he still had no choice but to give in.
"What's there to worry about? Your master is incredibly powerful." Master Xuanjing roughly ruffled Qin Moyu's hair, essentially giving up on his own plan to return. "But if you come back with me, will Shen Mo feel at ease?"
Judging from Shen Mo's appearance, he wished he could be attached to Qin Moyu. Although the ceremony of becoming emperor was just a formality, Shen Mo could not leave the Southern Kingdom at this time.
"What the real person said is right, I am indeed worried."
A voice rang out at the door. Qin Moyu turned around and saw Shen Mo, who had been called away by Shen Sheng after returning.
Shen Mo had changed into a black dragon robe at some point, with a five-clawed golden dragon embroidered on it. It was more elaborate and luxurious than the previous one. The jade beads on the crown slightly blurred his features, but added to his mysterious and solemn appearance.
It is said that clothes make the man and a saddle makes the horse. Shen Mo, after changing his clothes, had a completely different temperament from before. Even a casual glance from him carried the majesty and indifference of a person in power.
