Chapter 879: Chapter 583: The Origins of Li Pu_2
[Hehehe...][I know you all have many questions. Allow me to answer them one by one.]
Elder Gui Hun circled around the crowd and then slowly landed in front of them.
It turns out that the Gui Hun clan does not truly perish after reaching the end of their lives.
Instead, they transform into the Youyou clan to continue their existence.
And before this transformation, they can use special techniques for their souls to leave their bodies.
This is why, out of the four guardian beasts, only Gui Hun possesses the ability to penetrate the barrier.
So for 50 years, it’s been tasked with monitoring the internal dynamics of the barrier.
"Elder, if that’s the case..."
"Why did you let the barrier become unstable?"
Hearing this, Master Jie Jie expressed his confusion.
If Gui Hun is not dead, then what are they struggling for here?
[Have you ever heard of the saying, ’Without destruction, there is no construction?’]
Gui Hun looked at Master Jie Jie.
Without its physical body, it is equivalent to losing the ability to maintain the barrier.
This ethereal body, though nimble and light, came at a huge cost.
Its own power is less than one-tenth, requiring slow recuperation to recover.
Moreover, the ethereal body is inherently unsuitable for maintaining the barrier.
[This barrier draws enormous life force from us.]
[Not only does it imprison the sealed entity, but it also imprisons us.]
Using the opportunity of its physical demise, Gui Hun also wanted to help the other three guardian beasts escape.
Or at least attempt to help them escape.
Over the years, it has witnessed the gradual changes in the cocooning sealed entity.
Gui Hun doesn’t know what the cocoon, a fusion of the fallen angel and mermaid, will eventually hatch into.
But it has heard a theory that once the cocoon reaches a certain level of power, it will completely break free.
This is why the barrier was set with the rule triggering divine punishment at the first breakthrough.
When initially sealed, the cocoon was extremely violent.
It once amassed a massive army of skeletal beast soldiers to challenge the prison barrier.
And such attempts were not just once.
But of course, ultimately, they all ended in failure.
This is why there are vast remnants beneath this mansion’s land.
Every time the cocoon endured divine punishment, its strength would decrease significantly.
This loss of strength was accompanied by a loss of some memories.
In these 50 years, it has been in a cycle of breakthrough-divine punishment-breakthrough-divine punishment.
Loss of strength can be replenished through self-training.
But the loss of memory is most crucial for the cocoon, effectively diminishing its malice.
On this point, presumably, even Yi Ran, who initially established the barrier, did not foresee that this was the price paid by the cocoon for its undying form.
