My Three Souls and Seven Spirits suddenly floated up, and in that moment, I felt lighter than air, continuously rising. It was as if an unseen force was guiding me to the place where cultivators go after death.
Had I already died?
I stared in disbelief as my body grew farther away. I saw that I had become a skeleton, with fragments of flesh and organs scattered all around, visibly dissolving into the swirling vortex of Purple Light. In the end, only a mass of white hair remained, dancing wildly in the wind.
Beside me lay my brother's Corpse.
This scene pierced through me. For some inexplicable reason, a deep sorrow welled up within me. Had this tumultuous life truly ended with such regrets and desolation?
This Seventh Punishment was indeed a form of execution!
There was no room for resistance; flesh was stripped away, organs torn apart. It felt as if a force beyond comprehension was controlling everything. Those who dared to challenge authority were all met with the harshest penalties!
I raised my hand to look at my palms; they had become transparent, confirming my soul form. However, a faint purple glow shimmered on the surface, likely the Earthly Divine Substance that had seeped into me during the Seventh Punishment. I didn’t know its purpose, but it clung to my soul's surface, dragging me slowly toward the void.
As I drifted farther from my body, my consciousness began to fade. When my corpse became just a black dot in my vision, I had nearly lost the ability to think.
In the distance, I seemed to hear a call from the void; an Ancient War Song echoed in my ears:
"Summon my old troops, return to the battlefield.
Raise my might, let the winds roar.
Sharpen my sword, ascend to the heavens.
Spill my hot blood, march forward without fear."
“Grip Gun, Grip Gun, once more Grip Gun
Charge”
This battle song, I do not know where it came from, ancient and profound, carrying a weight that gives one the feeling that even the passage of time and Reincarnation cannot erase it. There is also an inexplicable force of attraction, as if it is sweeping me toward an unknown battlefield.
Where does the Ancient War Song come from?
Who is singing this battle song?
At the end of the song, who is roaring in anger? Who is charging forward without hesitation?
Could it be that the world after a cultivator's death is like this?
My consciousness is gradually fading, like a wandering soul adrift in the earth. Just as I am about to lose my sense of self, an unexpected thought suddenly pops into my mind: What if I die under punishment? What will happen to my wife? What will happen to my children? They are connected to my very life; if I die, they will be Soul Shattering. We will have no future, no chance to reunite.
As soon as this thought emerges, it spreads through my heart like wild grass, crazily consuming me from within.
My wife and children are my last Obsession in this world!!
This Obsession spreads wildly, quickly awakening me from that drowsy state.
What is happening to me?
Why am I contemplating ending my life?
Too many people have sacrificed for me, and I carry their will upon my shoulders!
"Take me back!"
A thunderous roar erupted from my mouth, resonating in the heavens, tearing through the Calamity Cloud, echoing endlessly!
Boom!
In an instant, the layer of Divine Purple Substance enveloping me shone brilliantly. At the same time, a dazzling Purple Light burst forth from the ground below. My physical body was also radiating with Purple Light, the two responding to each other from afar. I finally felt my physical form clearly; even though it was reduced to mere bones, it was still intricately intertwined with my soul!
Then my soul descended at a speed surpassing light. In the blink of an eye, I returned to my body once more, my soul residing within the Skeleton.
At that moment, the Flame of Survival blazed fiercely in my chest. I couldn't help but look up, filled with unwillingness, and roared in anger: "Return my True Body!"
Rumble!
Thunder rolled through the sky, and then the Crawling All Over Purple Light enveloped me. This time, it did not erase me; instead, these divine substances began to seep into my Skeleton bit by bit, until finally, my Skeleton radiated with divine brilliance.
This is...
I was stunned, my thoughts racing. Then I understood; the last three layers of Ninefold Punishment indeed tested one's will, but it was the will to survive!
Majestic and unfathomable, yet the Dao is fair; good and evil are rewarded accordingly. If one does not believe, just look back—who did the heavens ultimately spare? Even though I challenged the Dao, I was not directly obliterated. At the very least, I was given a chance to resist. If I were willing to seize it and struggle with enough will to survive, there would still be hope!
Without a doubt, I seized this opportunity!
Once the purple light seeped into the Skeleton, the light beam of Seventh Punishment began to slowly fade away!
Faintly, I seemed to grasp some opportunities, controlling my Skeleton to rise from the ground, I roared, "Return my organs!"
Boom!
Thunder rolled through the sky. The Seventh Punishment had just ended when an astonishing beam of light descended, striking me directly.
The Eighth Punishment had arrived!
As I had anticipated, I survived the deadly trial of the Seventh Punishment. Now, it was time for the earth to reward me. Accompanied by my roar, the Purple Light from the Eighth Punishment enveloped me, coalescing within my hollow abdomen, and began to regenerate my internal organs!
Life force surged anew within me—Heart, Lungs, Liver.
Soon, my once empty abdomen was filled again. The divine substances from the earth reshaped my organs!
Thump, thump.
Listening to my heartbeat, I knew I had been reborn; it felt incredibly solid.
Living is truly wonderful.
However, after reshaping my organs, the divine substances from the Eighth Punishment were completely absorbed by me, causing the Purple Light Beam to dissipate into nothingness.
With this experience behind me, I felt no fear towards the Ninth Punishment; in fact, I found myself vaguely anticipating it. I tilted my head back and shouted, "Return my flesh and blood!"
Boom!
Thunder echoed in the sky once more. Soon, the Ninth Punishment descended—a Purple Light Beam that enveloped me again. The divine substances within began to reshape my physical body.
At that moment, I felt an unbearable itch in my Skeleton. Initially, the Divine Purple Substance coalesced into lines resembling a Vessel, wrapping around me and penetrating my entire being. It quickly solidified, truly transforming into a Vessel. Accompanied by the beating of my Heart, blood began to flow throughout my body. Then, flesh started to sprout on my Skeleton; Flesh Buds emerged in clusters, growing rapidly like seeds sprouting in soil, visibly expanding at an astonishing rate. Before long, my body was filled with blood and flesh!
Finally, it was the skin.
Inch by inch, Fair Skin spread across my body. Even as a man, I felt a flush of embarrassment at the sight of that complexion, delicate and fair like that of a Jiangnan Woman.
Then came the hair.
My hair grew swiftly, cascading down to my shoulders. However, it remained white, strikingly vivid.
I vaguely understood—I was Reconstructing My True Self, seemingly reshaping the appearance I had during my heist. Realizing this, I hurriedly touched my cheek and was relieved to find that my Familiar Face had not aged; it was just adorned with White Hair Like Snow.
Finally, when the Purple Light Beam faded away, I felt revitalized. At that moment, my vitality surged, and Dragon Power erupted from my Skeleton. Killing Intent surged within me; I had reached the pinnacle of my state thus far. With every movement, my Skeleton crackled with explosive sounds.
The Calamity Cloud in the sky slowly dissipated. I had no idea how long I had been through this ordeal; all I knew was that when it ended, it was already deep into the night. The moon hung high in a starry sky as I stood alone amidst the ruins of the Dao Alliance.
I exhaled deeply and instinctively clenched my fists.
I had successfully changed my fate—after decades of struggle, it was just me!
