Chapter 477: To Revive A Sect
For the first time in a long time, First opened his eyes.
No. To say it properly Im Hui. Or rather, the largest piece of whats left of Hui.
He stood up and wiped his robes off, brushing off the dust and dirt that had accumulated in the time hed sat there alone in the cave. He kept the flag carefully, hiding it in his robes.
The final fragment or maybe, the first.
And now, theres only one last piece I need in order to finish this and bring everyone back.
At the entrance of his cave, Hui took a moment to adjust his aura and qi. He closed his eyes, then strode out into the world.
Brilliant sunlight pierced through his cave-dulled eyes. Hui put a hand over his eyes, shielding himself from the sun. Reviewing the clones memories, Hui quickly located himself. Right. Im not that far away. It should only take half a day to get there.
An old lady shrieked. Hui turned to look, still squinting through the sun.
Aunty Wen jumped back. Her clothes were tattered, and her hands and skin were worn more than hed expect from the year or two since hed last seen her. She peered at him. Where did you come from?
Apologies, Senior. I meant no harm, Hui said, bowing.
She narrowed her eyes and shooed him away. Go on, get! We dont need any more strange immortals around this part. The last time one showed up She shook her head.
Ah thats right. I destroyed the Fu Clans Patriarch. It had to happen, but I can only imagine the effects its having on the mortal servant of the Fu Clan. Hui reached into his node and drew out a small bag of gold. My apologies.
Aunty Wen drew back as if burned. Im taking nothing from you, nothing! Whatever you want, I have nothing! Leave me alone! Im just an old woman. Dont even have that young girl around anymore. That Ying Lin
Hui set the bag on the ground. Then Ill leave them here. With that, he took to the sky.
A moment before he soared off, he paused. Ying Lin that girl shes doing well.
This time, he didnt hesitate, but quickly left Aunty Wen behind.
Bai Jingwen might have the most green hats of anyone in this world, Healer sighed, shaking his head.
Though I wonder, which half of Bai Xue would Gui Yutong want? I got the impression that her encounter with Bai Jingwen was a bit of an awakening, Rogue commented.
True, true. Ive always wondered about the specifics between the two of them Sectgoer continued.
Sighing, First cut off his connection to the rest of the clones. Im glad theyre all getting along, but I really must focus here. Ill reconnect once Im done.
The one skill I have with the tree network that no one else gathered is a killswitch. The others can ignore it, but Im the only one who can shut it off entirely from connecting to me and go dark. The memories come flooding to me when I reconnect, and it can be overwhelming but for the task before me, the task of reviving my entire sect, I have no option but to resort to the killswitch.
Slowing, Hui looked around. Extending his qi, he searched the area. It should be somewhere around here. Right over ah, over here!
He reached out. His fingers brushed over the faint scar of a rift in space. Hui sent his qi inside, examining the structure of the rift. Compared to Fen Longs personal reincarnation realm, the structure was incredibly simple. So it only opens every few hundred years because thats how long it takes for the realm to gather enough of this areas natural qi to open again. If I push my own qi into it, though
Hui closed his eyes. Circulating his qi, he passed it through his hand and into the rift, charging the realm within. The rift widened, the realm within ballooning outward. Darkness spilled out of the rift, coloring the sky around it.
Hui took a deep breath. He looked back, just to be sure. No ones coming. No one noticed.
But its only a matter of time. I have to move quickly. He stepped into the rift, vanishing from the world.
He stepped out into a cold, windy world. Thick mist swirled around the floor, and rocks jutted out of the ground here and there. Gray overwhelmed the world, the gray fog, gray rocks, and gray floor all melding together into one gray blob. Far below, a few ghouls shambled, no longer posing the slightest threat to Hui.
Hui waved his sleeve, drawing a talisman on the air as he did so. A great gush of wind spilled forth, wiping the fog away. From where he stood, fluttering in the air, the stones formed the shape of an enormous spell formation, all focused on the black palace in the centerno. All focused on one tiny altar.
The Phoenix-Spark Flame Altar. This entire realm is one unfinished revival spell formation.
The place I met Bai Xue. The place I picked up Gu Tians sword, and found his dead body. The place where everything truly began.
When Master threw me in here years ago could he have known that I would one day require this place?
Hui shook his head and snorted at himself. Even Master isnt that all-knowing probably.
Stepping on the air, he darted forth, swooping toward the altar in the realms center. Now I finish this realms spell, and bring back my entire sect.
