Chapter 1039: Connect to the Netherworld
The Great Witches of Ancient Wuism possessed two signature cosmic arts—the Spatial Arts governed space, while the Temporal Arts governed time. The Staff of Merit was the product of these arts.
No matter how powerful the Five Innate Tais, none could escape the current of time itself. After all, it was the passage of time that allowed the five cosmic stages of world formation.
The mortal world now existed in the Taiji era, when chaos gained structure.
Thus, the residual power of the Taiyi Supreme Technique was also frozen in time.
As the spellcaster, Wu Luo was the first to break free from the stasis. She raised her hand once more, calling out to her long-dead sisters, begging them to lend her strength.
This was Wu Luo’s true specialty—the Spirit Arts.
Each of the Eleven Great Witches possessed different divine abilities, and each had their own mastery. Though Wu Luo knew the Spatial Arts and Temporal Arts, she was most proficient in the Spirit Arts.
The other ten Great Witches could also use the Spirit Arts, but none reached Wu Luo’s level of mastery.
The Spirit Arts were originally meant to communicate with the dead. Over time, it evolved into two branches—one focusing on communication with the netherworld, while the other focused on the soul.
Through this art, Wu Luo had once forged her divine kingdom in the mortal realm. Those who believed in her could cross a spiritual bridge and enter her kingdom through their dreams. This was the second use of the Spirit Arts.
However, at this moment, Wu Luo was invoking its first use to communicate with the netherworld and find the lingering traces of the dead within the unseen void, drawing upon them for temporary use.
Those capable of leaving such marks upon heaven and earth were almost always Immortals, who, in life, had already transcended the mundane. Even in death, parts of their essence refused to fade, persisting through time and becoming unseen imprints that lingered long after the body was gone.
