Chapter 366 - 153: Giant Vertical Eye, 9-Fold Immortal Punishment! Bai You Appears
He had thought this through quite clearly back when he obtained the altar.
"He is separated from us by an entire heaven, and His attention is currently consumed by the Netherworld. As long as you don’t act with abandon, you should be fine for now."
Seeing Su Bai’s expression remain unchanged, Bai You felt a flicker of approval but spoke with a cautionary tone:
"It would be best if you didn’t act again for a while. I need Him to remain dormant for the time being."
One reason for his visit was to see Qin Wuliang.
The other was to warn Su Bai.
True Celestial Punishment was not something just anyone could trigger.
In the world right now, besides the Netherworld, only Su Bai was likely to provoke Celestial Punishment.
’Keep Him dormant?’
Su Bai’s gaze sharpened slightly as a thought occurred to him.
As the thought crossed his mind, Su Bai remained silent. Meeting Bai You’s somewhat probing gaze, he simply nodded.
"Alright."
The Gui Chen Sect had already crumbled to dust. The Dayu Immortal Dynasty was likely on the verge of a massive upheaval, so there was no need for him to act anyway.
Even if he needed to suppress criminals for Experience Points in the future, his incarnation could likely handle it. His true self wouldn’t need to intervene.
Besides, it was about time for him to consolidate his gains.
His recent gains had been enormous, and the memory fragments he had acquired were as vast as an abyss. It was time to spend a while sorting through the crucial ones.
"That is for the best."
Bai You withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Qin Wuliang.
"Xiaojiu, you should not have practiced Second Brother’s techniques..."
His expression was tinged with sorrow.
He could already tell.
Tai Wuliang did not have long to live.
He had long known this day would come, yet he still felt a pang of sadness.
Of all his old acquaintances from those years, only Qin Wuliang remained.
And now, with Qin Wuliang about to die as well, how could he not be affected?
But Qin Wuliang was already a ghost-god on his last legs. His end was due to the shattering of his Yin Department Divine Position, and there was nothing Bai You could do.
Unless Tai Wuliang could take a great leap forward, ascend to their level, and break through to the Ascension Immortal Realm.
Otherwise, his time was up; his life could not be extended.
But stepping into their tier was far easier said than done.
Before the Netherworld Venerable Master burst onto the scene, in a million years, aside from a mere handful who achieved Ascension to Immortality in the Dayu Immortal Dynasty, only the ten innate, peerless Great Demons had reached such a level.
This was a path even more arduous than breaking through to the Feathered realm.
To live an undying life, a lifespan measured in tens of thousands of years—how could that ever be easy?
"To achieve the Dao is to have no regrets. Even if I die on this path, I will have none..."
Qin Wuliang looked at Bai You and sighed wistfully.
"Having seen you today, Second Brother, my heart is finally without regret. It is time to make my attempt..."
With that, he turned to Su Bai.
He bowed deeply once more.
"Elder Su, this bow is to thank you for securing a future for so many Daoists. Unfortunately, I now possess only this decaying body and have nothing with which to thank you."
WHOOSH!
As Qin Wuliang bowed, a seal of pure yellow, dotted with flecks of purple light, floated out from between his brows and landed before Su Bai.
CLACK!
Su Bai took the seal. Deep within his eyes, a faint purple brilliance suddenly flashed.
"This is..."
A thought struck Su Bai as he held the seal.
"This is a Capital City Daoist Seal. It doesn’t have the power to command all the Daoists in the world, but it represents me, Qin Wuliang. Perhaps it will be of some small help to you in the future, Elder..."
Qin Wuliang slowly rose to his feet and spoke softly:
"After ten thousand years as a ghost-god, there should be at least a few people in this world who will still give me some face."
