Chapter 210: The Missing Divine Beast
Ghost Claw retrieved quickly, and that portion of Spiritual Energy swiftly merged into Gui Hu’s body.
Gui Hu’s figure became clearer by a few degrees.
The razor-sharp nails on his ghost claw, resembling knife blades, had disappeared. It now looked somewhat similar to a human hand.
Gui Hu was not a person who cared about appearance, but he remembered clearly the aversion flickering in Little Budian’s big eyes every time he extended his claw.
He did not enjoy being born different from others.
"With it, three years will be enough to restore a true physical body."
A hint of joy flickered in Gui Hu’s blue eyes.
After awakening, Gui Hu found that the mainland had changed drastically from his time.
This was a new mainland with only True Qi and Spiritual Energy.
The people here, whether it was their cultivation or talents, were far inferior to those of his era.
In such a place, reshaping a usable physical body was exceedingly difficult.
His physical body, in that great battle, was likely reduced to ashes.
The so-called physical body he now possessed was merely a temporary shell, unable to bear his strength. He had to seal a portion of his Ghost Power, yet even so, this shell was easily detectable by those with intentions.
Earlier on, he still had a Fuxi Pill and was fifty percent confident that he could reconstruct his physical body within three years, breaking free from the temporary shell’s constraints on his Ghost Power.
But now, the Fu Tian Pill had been swallowed by Little Budian.
That Little Budian was also very stingy, showing a ruffled demeanor whenever absorbing a bit more of Fu Xi’s Energy.
Moreover, the Fu Xi’ Energy in her was not enough for his absorption.
Thus, these days, he’d been pondering on how to quickly reconstruct his physical body.
However, just yesterday, he detected fluctuations from an ancient Heaven and Earth Array around Qin Mountain. Upon finding the Xuan Bird nest, he was certain, something mysterious must be within this mountain.
"However, next to the Devouring Spirit Array, there should be a Divine Beast guarding it. Why is there not a single beast here?"
Gui Hu looked around, his eyes filled with a sense of peculiarity.
Clearly, something must have happened that caused the guardian Divine Beast to leave.
Gui Hu stopped pondering, sat cross-legged in the middle of the Heaven and Earth Devouring Spirit Array, allowing massive amounts of Spiritual Power to pass through his shell and transform into Ghost Power.
Until the first gleam of dawn appeared in the east.
Gui Hu then stood up; the Heaven and Earth Devouring Spirit Array had stopped operating.
The Spiritual Energy in the vicinity had been entirely devoured, and its recovery would take at least a month.
Despite being monthly, it was still much faster than his normal cultivation.
Gui Hu glanced at the Ancient Forest and, in a blink, dashed towards it.
He had almost forgotten that Little Budian was still in the nest.
Xin Lin was dreaming about using the Dan Wood Furnace to concoct pills for Silly Chu... when the Dan Wood Furnace suddenly exploded.
A foot kicked against Xin Lin’s back.
"Get up quickly, lead I into the forest."
Heir Yang and others were fully equipped and ready; as soon as Xin Lin woke up, Heir Yang ordered people to tie her up.
"Princely Heir, she’s still just a child, let us take you into the forest instead."
The hunters by the side couldn’t stand it any longer, trying to plead for Xin Lin.
"She’s just a fool; it’s her ancestors’ virtue that I, the Princely Heir, am letting her guide the way."
Heir Yang said unkindly.
Xin Lin moved her wrist, covertly changing the rope into a slip knot.
Daybreak arrived, and it was time for the drama to unfold.
A group of people walked towards the Ancient Forest.
Sunrise in the east, the first rays of sunlight fell on everyone.
"Egg... large egg"
Xin Lin, with an obedient look, led everyone forward.
Upon entering the Ancient Forest, Xin Lin pointed towards the tallest tree at the deepest part of the forest.
