Chapter 9: War God Guo Chu
Lin Feng stared blankly, as if he had lost his senses, stumbling forward in a daze.
"Break!" Master Da shouted, and Lin Feng jolted awake.
"What happened?" Lin Feng asked.
"Anything that has been buried for thousands of years will give rise to malevolent spirits. There is a malevolent spirit within the coffin that seeks to devour your Primordial Spirit and occupy your body. The source of that malevolent spirit is the Five Element Ancient Body," Master Da replied.
"Who is buried inside? It is said that Shishu is also a Five Element Ancient Body," Lin Feng said.
"To be precise, Shishu is the creator of the Five Element Ancient Body. In total, there have been two individuals who possessed the Five Element Ancient Body. One is you, and the other is the one inside the coffin—the founding ancestor of Divine General Manor, Senior Guo Chu."
"War God Guo Chu? It is rumored that he was a top existence in the Sage Realm. He did not cultivate any Great Dao but broke through cultivation barriers with terrifying power, ultimately becoming a saint."
"Indeed, it is this person. Senior Guo's path resembles yours. Only you can inherit his legacy in this world, helping you to quickly step into the False Saint Realm."
"I see." At this moment, Lin Feng understood the ultimate purpose of this journey.
"Step back; I am going to open the coffin."
At Master Da's light command, Lin Feng quickly retreated. Then, Master Da unleashed his cultivation and let out a roar. The sound was like thunder, echoing for miles.
Then, Master Da placed his hands on the stone coffin lid.
"Rise."
With a Thunderous Roar, the stone coffin lid slowly lifted. A terrifying aura of malevolence surged forth, black mist swirling like fog, pouring out and instantly engulfing Master Da's figure.
Lin Feng dared not move recklessly and could only summon the Blood Devouring Cauldron to defend himself. As he looked at the overwhelming dark energy, Lin Feng felt a strong sense of death looming around him.
A finger, resembling a Black Claw, suddenly extended from within the coffin, its claws covered in black fur, creating a horrifying sight.
Thunderous Roar...
Master Da continuously formed hand seals, unleashing waves of rule power. He struck at the Black Claw. Brilliant sparks flew as if striking against divine metal, the clanging sound echoing endlessly.
The Black Claw was not severed but slowly rose, probing outward, unstoppable.
"What a powerful evil spirit."
Master Da focused intently, executing his technique seriously. Earth Qi surged forth, manifesting an ancient tower. The tower floated and shimmered with the power of countless Great Dao Rules.
At that moment, the entire mountain range trembled, dozens of Heishan shaking under its immense pressure.
With his eyes fixed, Master Da raised his hand and pressed down the ancient tower. The tower crashed down with a roar, plunging into the stone coffin.
Boom...
The black mist shook as the clawed hand was illuminated by the tower's radiance. The black fur on its arm ignited in flames.
Roar...
An ancient beast-like roar erupted as the evil spirit emerged from the coffin. It stood before them, fearsome and terrifying, towering over Master Da by two heads, resembling a mad demon that was impossible to gaze upon directly.
A thick black mist enveloped its entire body, and its dense black fur swayed ominously, instilling fear in those who beheld it.
Thud, thud, thud...
The malevolent spirit from the Sage Realm approached step by step, towering and imposing. Master Da's aura surged dramatically, fearless in the face of danger as he advanced to confront the enemy head-on.
Suddenly, the malevolent spirit halted, its gaze fixated on Lin Feng. It locked onto Lin Feng, and two beams of divine light shot from the depths of its eyes, piercing into Lin Feng's body.
"Annihilate."
With a furious roar, Master Da unleashed two beams of Divine Radiance that also penetrated Lin Feng's body. Two terrifying Primordial Spirits clashed within Lin Feng. The malevolent spirit was ultimately forced out.
If the malevolent spirit had seized Lin Feng's physical form and occupied his Primordial Spirit, it would have escaped this place, becoming a top-tier powerhouse between realms, bringing devastation to humanity.
Fortunately, the malevolent spirit was not wise enough and was no match for Master Da. It was ultimately eradicated by Master Da's supreme Divine Ability.
At that moment, War God Guo Chu's Divine Radiance receded, his entire being transforming from black back to gold. He looked at Lin Feng and suddenly spoke, "Five Element Body, have you come for me?"
"Divine Ruins Disciple Lin Feng pays respects to the senior; I have come for your legacy," Lin Feng replied respectfully.
Guo Chu nodded slightly. "Do you know what the Five Element Body is?"
"I do not know," Lin Feng responded.
"Whether it is called the Five Spirit Body or the Five Element Ancient Body, it is merely a mortal body. A mortal cultivates five types of Spiritual Roots to perfection, achieving Five Spirit Manifestations. Thus arises the Five Element Body. Our extraordinary nature does not stem from birth but from our own cultivation. In this world of cultivation, achieving perfection in the five spirits is no easy feat; hence the rarity of the Five Element Body," Guo Chu explained.
"I see," Lin Feng understood. Only the Ethereal Body, Imperial Path body, and Eye of Destiny possessed unique traits from birth that allowed them to cultivate more effectively than others. As for him, he was just a mortal body. Anyone could cultivate into a Five Element Body; it simply depended on whether they could achieve it.
Master Da also bowed towards Guo Chu and said, "Market, please sit down. Zhou Yushan greets you, senior."
Guo Chu nodded and said, "Let him enter my stone coffin."
"Thank you, senior."
After receiving Guo Chu's permission, Lin Feng stepped into the stone coffin. Inside was a pool of golden liquid, exuding immense authority. Lin Feng stood in the golden blood, feeling the terrifying power within. The Bloodline within him began to react, like withered vines thirstily absorbing the essence.
"This is what they call inheritance?"
Lin Feng felt a surge of excitement; this power made him feel incredibly strong.
"Do not have distracting thoughts; focus on your comprehension," Guo Chu reminded.
"Yes, senior."
Suddenly, Lin Feng's body trembled as the golden pool began to ripple violently. Threads of subtle rules of power wove into Lin Feng's body, entering through his pores and flooding into him wildly.
"Ah."
The sudden wave of pain struck Lin Feng hard. His face turned pale as he couldn't help but cry out. His tolerance for pain exceeded that of others, yet even he found this unbearable; one could only imagine how terrifying the power of the Golden Pool Water was.
"Can't you endure this little pain?" Guo Chu shouted.
"Senior, it's nothing," Lin Feng replied.
Lin Feng gritted his teeth and persevered, showcasing an extraordinary willpower. This intense pain lasted for five months, during which Lin Feng's cultivation underwent a terrifying transformation. One month for Lin Feng equated to decades of cultivation for others.
After five months of excruciating pain, Lin Feng felt a wave of fatigue wash over him, urging him to drift into a deep sleep.
"Do not succumb to slumber, or all your efforts will be in vain. Do you wish to give up?" Guo Chu's cold voice pierced through the haze.
The sharpness of Guo Chu's reprimand jolted Lin Feng awake, and he steeled himself, struggling to endure.
In the pool of water, flowed Guo Chu's lifetime of cultivation. Streams of golden liquid coursed through Lin Feng's body, gathering within his Dantian.
At last, this golden essence transformed into a Golden Figure. It slowly ascended within Lin Feng and then burst forth as a beam of golden light, piercing into Lin Feng's Sea of Consciousness.
As the golden figure entered Lin Feng's Sea of Consciousness, his body convulsed violently. The Sea of Consciousness instantly changed color, transforming into a blinding gold—a manifestation of overwhelming power.
At that moment, the pool where Lin Feng was submerged erupted with a thunderous explosion. Golden water splattered everywhere. The once vibrant golden liquid had dulled significantly, now resembling a pale yellow and losing its luster.
Guo Chu's spiritual presence weakened dramatically, becoming frail as if it could dissipate at any moment.
Seeing Lin Feng succeed, Guo Chu's eyes glimmered with approval. "The Five Element Body is rare in this world; whenever it emerges, it represents an unparalleled powerhouse among mortals. You can achieve this."
"Thank you, Senior." Lin Feng opened his eyes.
Thunderous Roar...
Suddenly, the sky darkened as tribulations descended—purple lightning crackled ominously. This was the Saint's Cataclysm, aiming to thwart Lin Feng's ascension into the Sage Realm.
Lin Feng stood alone against the Purple Thunder Tribulation; his physical form was shattered by the onslaught of purple lightning. Ultimately, he endured the Saint's Cataclysm through sheer willpower. After enduring the trials of the Purple Thunder Tribulation, his terrifying physique became even more formidable. He stepped into the False Saint Realm, capable of withstanding the Holy Might of a fully realized Sage Realm.
"Next, you must completely absorb the energy I left behind. This will take time. Continue your cultivation here," Guo Chu whispered gently.
"It is the senior."
A year passed, and Lin Feng remained as still as a stone statue. His eyes showed no signs of opening. The pure Vital Energy within the secret realm continuously flowed into the stone coffin.
Another year went by. The tranquil waters of the ancient well suddenly erupted like thunder, shooting up a massive column of water, which then cascaded down like a waterfall.
At that moment, Lin Feng's aura began to grow stronger.
Ultimately, Lin Feng's cultivation solidified at the strongest Foundation of the Pseudo-Saint realm, and he now had hope of reaching the Sage Realm in this lifetime.
Over the course of two years, Guo Chu's soul grew increasingly faint. He weakly said, "You will soon catch up to my pace, which is good. In my lifetime, I am gratified to be able to assist a junior like you."
"I, Lin Feng, will never forget the great kindness of my senior in this life," Lin Feng expressed sincerely.
"Once you reach the Sage Realm, will you still care about favors? What we should see is the future," Guo Chu replied.
Lin Feng nodded. "Yes, the future."
Having entered the False Saint Realm, he became a powerful figure among mortals. Lin Feng finally possessed the qualifications to contend with those great figures. Though still weak, he saw the glimmer of hope.
"The Divine General Manor is my sect; you must watch over it for me," Guo Chu instructed.
"Rest assured, where there are Divine Ruins, there will be the Divine General Manor," Lin Feng promised.
"With this matter settled, I can depart."
Guo Chu's frail and fading spirit ultimately dissipated in the wind. Lin Feng bowed deeply in gratitude to Guo Chu: "May you have a safe journey, senior. I will carry on the remaining path."
Lin Feng accepted Guo Chu's inheritance and learned some secrets about him. After Guo Chu became a Sage, his cultivation stagnated.
In order to become the Preparatory Emperor, he traveled across the land of the Nine Provinces, seeking the tomb of Emperor Huang to obtain the opportunity for the Imperial Realm. Ultimately, Guo Chu was schemed against by the Ghost King and nearly perished in battle.
The Ghost King ordered disciples of his sect to search for powerful Primordial Spirits, both to supply the Old Ghost King and to create formidable puppets.
Guo Chu was no match for the members of the Ghost Sect; his physical body exploded as he fled, only to be saved by Market. He was buried here.
The life of a generation's Sage came to an end. (To be continued...)
