Chapter 300: Reincarnation Mirror and Killing Shopkeeper Song

Gu Mo, gripping Shopkeeper Song, said, "I am Gu Mo. I've already told you."

Shopkeeper Song felt the immense spiritual power emanating from Gu Mo and said in a deep voice, "Impossible. To wield spiritual power without transcending the physical body means your spiritual power is complete. You are a true Ascension Realm cultivator, not merely Half-Step Ascension. In this era, no one can achieve true Ascension. The Inner Demon guards the Heavenly Gate. Even with the protection of the Mirror of Reincarnation, I couldn't avoid the Inner Demon. I could see ascension but dared not ascend. You claim to be Gu Mo? How is that possible?"

Gu Mo said calmly, "Does it matter to you whether I am Gu Mo or not?"

"True, it doesn't matter," Shopkeeper Song replied. "But we could cooperate, Gu Mo... Let's just assume you are Gu Mo. You can kill me; it doesn't matter. You can't kill all versions of me across all worlds anyway. One day, I will create the perfect physical body, and from then on, cultivators in this world will no longer be constrained by the Inner Demon. Gu Mo, don't you want to defeat the Inner Demon?"

Gu Mo hadn't been particularly interested in talking much with Shopkeeper Song, only wanting to inquire about the Mirror of Reincarnation. But now, hearing about a method to deal with the Inner Demon, he became curious.

"How do you defeat the Inner Demon?" Gu Mo asked.

Shopkeeper Song slowly explained, "Twenty years ago, my cultivation reached the pinnacle of the mortal realm, and I successfully entered the Ascension Realm. It was then that I realized the legendary Inner Demon truly existed, guarding the Heavenly Gate. I nearly became food for the Inner Demon, but fortunately, I had the protection of the Mirror of Reincarnation, which allowed me to escape being devoured. However, even with its protection, I had to sever my own cultivation realm to completely break free from the Inner Demon's pursuit. Yet, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. Although I encountered the Inner Demon, it was also during that time that I discovered the true power of the Mirror of Reincarnation. It wasn't merely the ability to see past and present lives as rumored, but rather the ability to connect to other worlds."

Gu Mo asked, "Then why did you come to the State of Qian instead of staying at Great Bright Temple to study the Mirror of Reincarnation?"

Shopkeeper Song replied, "At the time, in my attempt to ascend, I had already shed my physical body. Although I used the Mirror of Reincarnation to return to a physical form, it was clearly no longer a perfect fit. I needed to research the power of reincarnation, but the Chu imperial family had two divine emissaries from the Heavens Beyond. If I conducted my experiments in Chu, there was a high chance they would discover me. Coincidentally, Chu's intelligence network in Chang'an City was experiencing issues and needed someone to integrate it. So, I volunteered to come, providing cover for Chu's network. This move allowed me to legitimately gain the assistance of the Chu imperial family, facilitating my actions in Qian while also evading the scrutiny of those two divine emissaries from Chu."

Gu Mo said gravely, "So, you then caused the tragic incident of thousands of suicides in Chang'an City!"

Shopkeeper Song explained, "That was not my intention; my experiment at the time failed. After arriving in Chang'an City with the Mirror of Reincarnation, I dedicated myself to studying the power of reincarnation to combat the Inner Demon. Initially, I didn't consider using a physical body against it, because the Inner Demon's most potent ability stems from its demonic desires, which can corrupt a cultivator's will. At the time, I thought: if I could create a pure and flawless will, wouldn't I be able to suppress the Inner Demon? And since the Mirror of Reincarnation can connect to various worlds, I intentionally guided people's thoughts, leading them to become pure believers, eradicating all desires and becoming saints free from the seven emotions and six desires."

Gu Mo frowned slightly. He thought this was impossible; no matter how brainwashed, it was impossible to completely abandon the seven emotions and six desires.

Shopkeeper Song chuckled, "I know that no matter how devout a believer is, they can never truly reach a state of complete desirelessness. But that's not important, because I don't need them to be perpetually desireless; I only need them to enter a desireless state for a fleeting moment. Gu Mo, we just discussed the infinite worlds. Any thought, at any given moment, in any single instant, can give birth to a world. So, I don't need believers to be desireless forever, just for that one fleeting moment. I can then use the Mirror of Reincarnation to lock onto the world born from that instant, and then swap the desireless souls from that world with the 'tainted' souls from this world. In doing so, I obtain a saint-like, desireless believer in this world! Through this cycle, I acquired thousands of incredibly pure, desireless wills. I then attempted ascension once more to directly confront the Inner Demon, but I ultimately failed. Although those wills had some effect, they were still no match for the Inner Demon. That's why thousands of people committed suicide at the time; it wasn't me inciting them, but their souls being devoured by the Inner Demon. Even I was almost devoured by the Inner Demon again. But fortunately, I managed to retreat into my physical body in time. It was then that I was surprised to discover that the physical body could temporarily resist the Inner Demon, buying me time to activate the Mirror of Reincarnation, allowing me to escape the Inner Demon once more. At that point, I understood: to defeat the Inner Demon, both the physical body and the spiritual essence must ascend simultaneously. This is because the Inner Demon only has power over the spiritual essence and cannot harm the physical body. Therefore, if one possesses a physical body that has reached the Ascension Realm and a desireless spiritual essence, one can resist the Inner Demon's temptation to leave the body, and the body can then withstand the Inner Demon's invasion."

Gu Mo suddenly understood, "So, you started creating mud figures?"

"Precisely," Shopkeeper Song said. "I used the Mirror of Reincarnation to capture my soul from a world I created in a single thought, and integrated it into my physical body in this world. When I created that 'thought-world,' I temporarily suppressed my knowledge of creating desireless wills to fight the Inner Demon and the true secrets of the Mirror of Reincarnation. Thus, that 'me' knew nothing of ascension, nor that the Mirror of Reincarnation was still in Chang'an, nor anything about the Inner Demon. In his memory, he had only come to Chang'an to complete the Chu Emperor's task, then, by a single misstep, caused a great disaster that killed countless people. After that, he was imprisoned in the underground dungeon of the Star-Plucking Pagoda for twenty years, allowing me to successfully escape. Over these twenty years, I employed countless methods to create a perfect physical body, but none succeeded until three years ago. I accidentally observed that the mud in the most disgusting, filthy, and decaying sewers, permeated with death qi, could, at its extreme, give birth to vitality from death. Furthermore, the heavier the death qi, the purer the vitality. This perfectly aligned with the truth of yin and yang in all things, their mutual generation and mutual restraint."

Gu Mo suddenly realized, "So, you started mass-producing mud figures?"

"Exactly," Shopkeeper Song affirmed. "Through the Mirror of Reincarnation, I capture pure will-souls from other worlds and integrate them into the mud figures. Over time, the mud figures slowly transform from death qi into pure vitality. It's becoming increasingly successful, though there's still a significant drawback: the people I create cannot realize they are artificial, otherwise, a spatial dislocation occurs, and they simply vanish. However, I've been continuously refining the process, and the drawbacks are lessening. In ten years at most, I'll be able to create the most perfect physical body in existence. At that point, cultivators in this world will no longer need to fear the Inner Demon. I might even be able to eradicate the Inner Demon completely, thereby restoring the era from seven hundred years ago where one could ascend upon reaching sufficient cultivation. I can also forge an unprecedented path of physical ascension! Gu Mo, although this method may harm the natural order, it is a transgression of our time for the benefit of future generations. Will you still try to stop me?"

Gu Mo did not answer. He wasn't particularly moved by Shopkeeper Song's impassioned speech. Instead, he asked, "What's with your mud figures devouring brain matter?"

Shopkeeper Song replied, "That's my recent attempt to fix the flaw where mud figures disintegrate upon realizing they are artificial. I've found a direction: when the mud figures realize they are fake, if they quickly consume brain matter, they can temporarily grasp a small portion of the other person's memories, causing their own consciousness to become disoriented. Then, I can immediately insert another random soul, switching it out to preserve the mud figure's physical body."

"The mud figures' appearances change with the souls?" Gu Mo asked, puzzled.

"Yes," Shopkeeper Song nodded. "If the soul and memories change, the appearance must also change; otherwise, it would cause a second dislocation."

"No wonder," Gu Mo said. "No wonder people in the 'Evil Spirit Devouring Marrow' case saw dead people consuming others' brain matter. It was because you randomly drew souls that were already deceased in this world."

Shopkeeper Song nodded and said, "That's correct, but these are minor, inconsequential matters. I can control the demise of those mud figures' bodies at any time, so the authorities can't trace it. Gu Mo, although you are an Ascension Realm cultivator, you haven't gone to the Heavens Beyond. That suggests you have a limitation. You can enter the Heavenly Gate, whether by avoiding the Inner Demon or some other method, but you can progress no further. Here, I have a completely new path of physical ascension. Aren't you tempted?"

Gu Mo smiled faintly and said, "Whether I'm tempted or not is beside the point for now. There's a problem with what you've told me: you claim to possess the Mirror of Reincarnation, yet Great Bright Temple also has one, held by Master Liansheng. How do you explain that?"

Shopkeeper Song smiled slightly and said, "That mirror, like the mud figures, is a Mirror of Reincarnation from another world. The mirror itself is just an ordinary mirror, but the power of reincarnation was replicated from it. Although it's not comparable to the true Mirror of Reincarnation, it still possesses some of its power. Everything I am came from Great Bright Temple, and the temple's lineage has been sustained primarily by the Mirror of Reincarnation. I truly didn't want my actions to cause the temple's inheritance to be broken."

"Is that so?" Gu Mo frowned, a little unconvinced. After all, if the Mirror of Reincarnation in Master Liansheng's possession was merely a replica with only a fraction of the power, and it could paralyze Bai Yujing, then how terrifying must the true Mirror of Reincarnation be?

"Gu Mo, this is the situation," Shopkeeper Song said slowly. "With the Mirror of Reincarnation, you certainly can't kill me. Why not cooperate? We can join forces; I, to create the perfect physical body, and together we can confront the Inner Demon and ascend to the Heavenly Realm. We can also forge a completely new path for future generations. You and I will become the ancestors of martial arts! I imagine you've made your decision, haven't you?"

Gu Mo chuckled softly and said, "Your so-called path of physical ascension holds no appeal for me."

"You don't believe me?" Shopkeeper Song asked in surprise. "I'm truly not deceiving you!"

Gu Mo shook his head slightly and said, "It's not that I don't believe you, but... haven't you realized yet that, apart from the initial use of my spiritual power, for all this time, I've been restraining you purely with my physical body?"

Shopkeeper Song froze slightly, immediately sensed his surroundings, and then his face suddenly changed, exclaiming in shock, "How is that possible?"

Gu Mo chuckled, "Nothing is impossible. I've already achieved physical ascension, which is why I spoke of being in the complete Ascension Realm. However, I hadn't known before that the physical body has a restraining effect on the Inner Demon. You've reminded me of this, and now I know how to deal with the Inner Demon in the future."

Hearing Gu Mo's words, Shopkeeper Song felt no fear; instead, he became extremely agitated, saying, "Tell me, Gu Mo, how did you do it? How did you create a perfect physical body?"

"Rather than satisfy your curiosity, I'm more interested in seeing if you're truly immortal!" Gu Mo said nothing further to Shopkeeper Song. He immediately clenched his hand with force, and an immense surge of Ascension Realm power erupted, instantly crushing Shopkeeper Song's spiritual essence.

But in that instant, a unique power subtly emerged as Shopkeeper Song's spiritual essence vanished. It was a form of primordial qi existing beyond the Ascension Realm, on the same level as Gu Mo's "Qi of Laws." This was the second time Gu Mo had witnessed a fully formed primordial qi. The first was after killing the Fire Qilin, when the Ancestral Fire formed from the Fire Qilin's primordial qi was taken by Qi Miaoxuan. However, unlike the distinct Ancestral Fire of the Fire Qilin, this primordial qi was extremely subtle; an ordinary Ascension Realm martial artist present would not have noticed it at all. The moment that primordial qi appeared, it immediately vanished.

"Hmph." Gu Mo let out a soft snort, and the qi born from his will controlling the laws of heaven and earth clashed with that primordial qi.

In that very instant, wisps of peculiar power surged from the countless glass mirrors in the workshop. They enveloped Gu Mo, and a massive suction force attempted to pull him into one of the mirrored worlds. However, it failed to move Gu Mo. In the next moment, all the mirrors floated up, continuously flashing scenes from various "worlds." Different worlds operated within them, then uniformly pressed in on Gu Mo, instantly engulfing him in a space composed of mirrors.

Gu Mo was trapped within myriad mirrored worlds, countless fragmented scenes assaulting his senses like a torrent, attempting to assimilate him and banish him to some eternal void. World after world sought to cast Gu Mo into an endless cycle of reincarnation.

"Gu Mo, I told you, you can't kill me!" World after world, like fleeting mirages in a kaleidoscope, flickered through Gu Mo's consciousness. Shopkeeper Song reappeared before Gu Mo and said, "I originally wanted to cooperate with you, but since you insist on this path, I apologize, but I'll have to leave you to eternally sink into these infinite worlds. As for your perfect physical body, I'll be taking it."

Gu Mo chuckled slightly and said, "If your so-called 'infinite worlds' are just these consciousness worlds without physical forms, then I'm afraid they won't be able to trap me." As Gu Mo spoke, he gently reached out, grasping and crushing one "world" into a wisp of energy that vanished.

He had to admit that this so-called parallel world would indeed entrap ordinary people, and even most masters, because it was a world of consciousness. When one's consciousness was pulled in, it would perfectly align with it, just as a physical body would in the real world. However, to Gu Mo, this world was utterly fake. This was because the operation of a world is governed by various laws, but these consciousness worlds were incredibly scarce and empty. All laws revolved around a single person, fully embodying the phrase, "I think, therefore I am; I exist, therefore the world exists!" Once consciousness ceased, this so-called world would dissipate.

"You've been spouting nonsense for a while. I thought the Mirror of Reincarnation could truly connect to parallel worlds. Turns out, you're just someone trapped in a consciousness world, unable to escape!" Shopkeeper Song, standing before Gu Mo, looked astonished and exclaimed, "What do you mean?"

Gu Mo chuckled lightly. In that instant, a sword intent erupted from his body. This sword concentrated the power of sword intent to its extreme, and though seemingly cast out casually, it contained the mighty power to tear through the void! A colossal sound, like the divine resonance of creation, echoed. A sword seemed to transform into a massive pillar supporting the primordial chaos of heaven and earth. Wherever it passed, the mirrored world let out an unbearable wail. The dense, layered mirror surfaces, like fragile glass, shattered and disintegrated inch by inch under the immense, incomparable force! The colossal suction force, like a tide crashing against a reef, was instantly shattered and dispersed!

"Crash—Boom!" The mirrored domain exploded like a massive bubble that had been pricked! Gu Mo's figure, like a sharp sword, pierced through the last fragments of mirror light, firmly landing back on the cold floor of the workshop.

Dust filled the air. The workshop was a wreck; most of the countless glass mirrors that had hung there were now reduced to tiny shards, with only a few larger fragments scattered on the ground, reflecting the flickering lamplight and Gu Mo's stern figure.

Immediately, he turned and fixed his gaze on the half-human-tall bronze mirror on the wall, the one that had initially caused the anomaly. At this moment, the mirror's surface was like a boiling black swamp, violently fluctuating, and faintly, Ye Chen's terrified struggling figure could be seen within. Gu Mo stepped forward, ignoring the remaining eerie suction from the mirror, and thrust his right hand directly into the viscous mirror surface! His arm seemed to defy spatial barriers, precisely grasping Ye Chen's collar. "Come out!" With Gu Mo's low shout, he pulled his arm back with force.

"Thump!" Ye Chen was dragged out of the mirror surface by Gu Mo, like a drowning man pulled from water. He landed heavily on the ground, gasping for breath, his face ashen, his eyes still wide with extreme terror.

"Big Brother is awesome! Big Brother is mighty! Big Brother is number one in the world, eternal..." Ye Chen, still shaken, didn't let it hinder his flattery.

"Take her away first!" Gu Mo pulled from another mirror, extracting Li Li's consciousness from within and roughly pressing it into the unconscious Li Li's physical body on the ground.

Ye Chen quickly rushed over, carefully lifted the still unconscious Li Li onto his shoulder, and swiftly ran out the door.

And at that very moment, both the fragments on the ground and the last few glass mirrors hanging on the wall simultaneously erupted with a gloomy light. Their surfaces violently twisted, then settled into stillness.

Gu Mo snorted coldly, his aura no longer restrained! "Om—!" An invisible yet seemingly time-freezing, immense domain instantly expanded, completely enveloping the entire workshop and even the small courtyard! Within the domain, the air became still, dust particles hung frozen, and even the flickering lamplight seemed to have been paused.

In that instant, within this domain of absolute control, Gu Mo mobilized the "Qi of Laws." He slowly raised his right hand, palm facing upwards. Wisps of faint "primordial qi" were drawn out from within the mirror surfaces, instantly converging into a single mass. Shopkeeper Song's spiritual essence was enveloped within it, gradually coalescing into the form of a mirror, with Shopkeeper Song appearing inside.

Shopkeeper Song, trapped in the mirror with a look of terror, no longer maintained his previous calm demeanor. He became hysterical, roaring and raging, "How can this be? What's going on? Why is the world fake? Why..."

Gu Mo looked at Shopkeeper Song in the mirror and said, "As you can see, you thought you were controlling the Mirror of Reincarnation. In reality, you were the one being controlled. You've always been in the consciousness world created by the Mirror of Reincarnation. At best, you're just a tray holding a mirror, and you weren't even holding a complete mirror, just a small fragment of it!"

"How is this possible?" Shopkeeper Song asked, his face filled with unwillingness.

Gu Mo explained, "You thought the Mirror of Reincarnation at Great Bright Temple was a fake one you replicated from the true Mirror of Reincarnation. In reality, the true Mirror of Reincarnation had long returned to Great Bright Temple, and the replicated fake mirror was the one in your possession. You thought the fake Mirror of Reincarnation connected to other worlds. In reality, it merely created consciousness worlds based on different people's minds, and then it would generate the desireless consciousness you needed and present it to you. This is why those mud figures would vanish once they realized they were fake. It wasn't some spatial dislocation; it was because they were merely replicated consciousness. When a consciousness knows it's fake, it naturally dissipates, because it's not a soul, just a thought!"

"Then what am I?" Shopkeeper Song was on the verge of collapse. "Am I me? Or am I just a thought too? Am I real or fake? What am I? Ah..."

"You are you; you are a spiritual essence," Gu Mo said. "But unknowingly, you became the spirit of a replicated, fake Mirror of Reincarnation, helping the Mirror of Reincarnation grow!"

At this point, Gu Mo finally understood why the Mirror of Reincarnation could cause Bai Yujing to collapse on Penglai Island: the fundamental nature of these two entities was similar. Bai Yujing absorbed countless spiritual essences to facilitate its own growth. The Mirror of Reincarnation was the same. The only difference was their distinct abilities, which led to different manifestations. Bai Yujing created replicas, making them increasingly mature and powerful. The Mirror of Reincarnation created consciousness worlds, making them progressively more real. In Shopkeeper Song's, or rather, Dabei's hands, it had reached a point where, by controlling the mud figures, the consciousness worlds could influence the real world.

"Ah... I'm real... Hahahaha..." Shopkeeper Song in the mirror laughed wildly, his entire face contorting. "I'm real, I'm real... I understand now, I understand now..."

Gu Mo looked at Shopkeeper Song in the mirror and sighed faintly, realizing that Shopkeeper Song had suffered an immense shock, his worldview had collapsed, and he had gone mad.

Immediately, Gu Mo raised his hand in a palm strike. Flames, formed from the "Qi of Laws," manifested out of thin air and surged into the mirror. The flames licked at the mirror's surface, making sizzling sounds. Inside the mirror, the distorted faces let out silent screams, struggling and melting in the fire! The flames burned hotter and hotter, as if threatening to incinerate space itself. Under the burning of the Dao fire, the mirror surfaces, like low-quality glass thrown into a furnace, rapidly softened, deformed, and then flowed down as a scalding liquid, shimmering with an eerie glow. Then, gradually, they once again transformed into a wisp of primordial qi, contained by Gu Mo's "Qi of Laws."

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Gu Mo's mind: "Six-star wanted criminal eliminated. Received star reward: Max-level 'Sword Separating Worlds'. Claim reward?"

Gu Mo immediately claimed "Sword Separating Worlds," a martial art seemingly like a laser.

Of course, purely in terms of combat power, "Sword Separating Worlds" wasn't of great help to the current Gu Mo. However, its principles of meticulous control and breaking the whole with a single point offered significant inspiration to him.

However, for now, Gu Mo didn't have much energy to study "Sword Separating Worlds" because he was currently conflicted about how to handle this "primordial qi" from the Mirror of Reincarnation. Laws are the essence of all existence and operation in the world. "Primordial qi" is the manifestation of these laws; it's impossible to simply erase it. Even Qi Miaoxuan, who had lived for over a thousand years, couldn't erase or directly devour "primordial qi." He could only prepare items capable of sealing it beforehand. But Gu Mo didn't possess any items that could seal primordial qi. He could only temporarily and continuously mobilize the "Qi of Laws" to contain it in this spot. However, unless Gu Mo frequently came to reinforce the seal, over time, this primordial qi would inevitably break free and escape. Then, many years later, perhaps by some serendipitous chance, it might give birth to a new, replicated Mirror of Reincarnation.

After temporarily binding that wisp of "primordial qi" in place, Gu Mo walked out of the workshop and saw Ye Chen, who was simultaneously carrying the unconscious Li Li and swinging his longsword, destroying the mud figures in the courtyard.

"Big Brother..." Ye Chen quickly ran over and asked, "How did it go?"

"It's been handled," Gu Mo said.

Ye Chen, still shaken, asked, "So these mud figures won't turn into people again, right?"

"No," Gu Mo said. "But... tonight will likely become a lifelong nightmare for many!" Now that the replicated Mirror of Reincarnation was destroyed and transformed into that wisp of "primordial qi," it meant the power of reincarnation had vanished. Consequently, the mud figures still roaming outside would revert to their true forms. Although Shopkeeper Song claimed he had only been making mud figures for a few years, even if it was just two or three, their number certainly wouldn't be small. Those currently interacting with the mud figures would probably be traumatized for life.

However, Gu Mo was most curious about how many people would be in the same situation as Ye Chen had been. All in all, Ye Chen was fortunate to have stopped just short of the critical moment. If, at that crucial point, he had discovered the person beneath him turn into a pile of mud, the sight...

Just as the two walked out of the courtyard, a jumble of footsteps approached. It was Ye Jinglan, leading a detachment of the Imperial City Bureau army, accompanied by Su Ziyou, Gu Chudong, and Hong Yi.

"Brother Gu," Ye Jinglan swiftly flew to Gu Mo, saying, "I just went to the Princess's residence to find you and heard you pursued someone here. What happened?"

Gu Mo nodded slightly and said, "It's been resolved. The true mastermind has also been killed."

"What exactly happened?" Su Ziyou asked.

Gu Mo pondered for a moment, then slowly explained, "The owner of this mud figure shop was an evil cultivator who specialized in spiritual power, and he possessed some strange puppet techniques that allowed him to absorb others' memories and inject them into his puppets..."

Gu Mo didn't tell the full truth. It wasn't that he was unwilling, but rather that if he spoke the truth, very few people would understand it. He could only rephrase it in terms that everyone could grasp as much as possible.

As Gu Mo was speaking, Gu Chudong suddenly exclaimed, "Brother!"

Gu Mo and the others immediately looked over and saw that the pouch hanging from Gu Chudong's waist was glowing, slowly floating upwards, attempting to break free from its confinement.

Gu Mo raised an eyebrow. This pouch contained the sarira that Master Liansheng had gifted him when he was in the Southern Jin State. Initially, Gu Mo thought it was an ordinary sarira, but later, Gu Chudong discovered its extremely powerful effects during use. Therefore, on Penglai Island, Gu Mo specifically inquired about it and learned from Master Liansheng that it was an ancient Buddha sarira, left behind by a Buddhist Son after his nirvana, and one of the most precious sarira of Great Bright Temple.

"Let it out," Gu Mo quickly said.

Gu Chudong immediately opened the pouch, and in that instant, the ancient Buddha sarira transformed into a stream of light and swiftly flew out.

Gu Mo and his group quickly gave chase and saw the ancient Buddha sarira floating in the center of the mud figure workshop. Its Buddha light radiated brightly, blossoming into a sacred lotus flower that closed in the air.

Everyone looked puzzled, unsure what was happening! Only Gu Mo saw that the lotus flower of the ancient Buddha sarira, as it continuously bloomed and closed, was actually absorbing the "primordial qi" of the Mirror of Reincarnation. This ancient Buddha sarira was precisely the item Gu Mo had been preparing to seek, capable of sealing "primordial qi."

"Master Liansheng..." Gu Mo murmured.

Gu Chudong asked, puzzled, "Brother, is this phenomenon related to Master Liansheng?"

Gu Mo frowned slightly and said, "Master Liansheng always said this sarira was destined for me. Did he foresee today's events, or is there a greater karmic connection?"
