Chapter 251: Chapter 249: Gu Jun’s Body Fragments

“How did Chen Wanxing find out I was in the Purple Fire Celestial Prison?”

Xu Yang’s face was full of gravity.

The message received in Wang Xiuniang’s Communication Jade Talisman was, indeed, sent from the Chen Family.

She had roamed the Purple Fire Celestial Prison and naturally knew some people, especially some merchants who traded in treasures, all of whom had left communication imprints.

The message said that any Martial Artist in the Purple Fire Celestial Prison who could provide clues about Xu Yang’s whereabouts would receive the Chen Family’s bounty: three sixth-rank Spirit Elixirs, and one high-grade Divine Technique!

If you could help capture Xu Yang, you’d get a top-tier sixth-rank Spirit Elixir, a sixth-rank Divine Weapon, and three high-grade Divine Techniques!

And if you have other needs, they could also be exchanged!

Given the Chen Family’s foundation, these treasures were nothing to them to hand out.

For Myriad Phenomena Realm experts, this was undoubtedly a temptation with a thousandfold return!

Once the word spread, it was no exaggeration to say that most of the strong cultivators training in the Purple Fire Celestial Prison would become the Chen Family’s eyes and ears!

Luckily there was Wang Xiuniang!

Otherwise, he would have been kept in the dark, unaware of when he might be exposed.

Xu Yang also couldn’t figure out how Chen Wanxing had found out.

This was a real headache now!

“Mr. Xu, I suggest you hide yourself for now, or secretly leave the Purple Fire Celestial Prison!” Wang Xiuniang said solemnly.

Leaving was, of course, out of the question.

Xu Yang pondered for a moment and said, “Give me one of your communication imprints. If there’s any more news, let me know!”

Seeing Xu Yang’s determined attitude, Wang Xiuniang sighed, said no more, and condensed a communication imprint.

“Mr. Xu, take extra care!”

“Thank you. You take care too!”

Xu Yang nodded slightly and sped away.

“Though it’s a huge trouble, it won’t be that easy for them to track me down.”

Xu Yang thought of the Breathing Skill and Bone Melting Transformation, these two arts, and immediately enacted them.

After several breaths’ time.

He transformed into the appearance of a thin, weak-looking middle-aged man.

No trace of his former self remained on him.

His cultivation base, under the disguise of the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant, became that of the Middle Stage of Myriad Phenomena Realm.

This wasn’t difficult—he was strong enough that such disguise came easily.

With the Breathing Skill, even most Late Stage Myriad Manifestation Realm cultivators couldn’t see through him.

Having finished all this, Xu Yang took out his map.

“Kid, ran into trouble?”

“Master? You’re awake?”

Xu Yang jolted all over, unable to contain his joy.

Gu Jun chuckled, “Been awake for a while. You’re pretty ruthless to yourself, kid—a great beauty right before you, yet you resorted to using the Demon Dragon Saber’s violent aura to assault yourself.”

“Truly an eye-opener for this old man!”

Xu Yang was startled—Master had actually awakened back then.

He gave an embarrassed smile.

Gu Jun’s awakening made Xu Yang relax deep down.

Whether facing the Chen Family or delving deeper into the forbidden zone, he now had support and help!

“Boy, take out that wrist bone you obtained,” Gu Jun said.

Xu Yang’s heart trembled—could it be?

He hurriedly produced the wrist bone.

A faint gleam showed on the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant, and Gu Jun let out a long sigh.

“Master, this wrist bone…”

“It’s mine.”

A flash of shock passed through Xu Yang’s eyes.

He had thought it might have something to do with Gu Jun, but he had never expected it was actually a fragment of Gu Jun’s own body!

Hundreds of years had passed, yet even now some spiritual essence remained!

“That person—I didn’t know them, at best in life they would have reached Myriad Manifestations Realm Perfection. After the great battle back then, they must have picked up the wrist bone and tried to fuse with it—but something went wrong!”

“Humph, trying to fuse with my spiritual bone? That’s no different than courting death!”

Gu Jun snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain for those at Myriad Manifestations Realm Perfection.

“Master, if we find more fragments, won’t it be easier for you to recover?” Xu Yang asked.

“It’s not that simple—elixirs still need to be refined. But if more body fragments can be found, and the body reforged along with elixirs, the results will be much better!”

Xu Yang forced a bitter smile. In life, Gu Jun must have been a True Lord-level figure—forging a new flesh body was truly a monumental difficulty.

It could not be done carelessly. Otherwise, never mind surpassing his former self—even returning to his past level would be hard!

“My body back then had fused with Spirit Fire—even those old monsters of the past couldn’t fuse with it.”

“Some parts may still be inside!”

Gu Jun intoned, “If we can find them, it’d be a blessing. Besides, the environment here still holds countless treasures, which can greatly benefit you as well!”

Xu Yang smiled, “Master, with you awake, everything’s easier. Oh, that’s right.”

He quickly took out the skeleton’s Storage Ring and removed a pile of Spirit Elixirs from within.

“Master, see if these Spirit Elixirs can help your recovery at all.”

Gu Jun swept them with his Spiritual Power, then a beam of spiritual light shot out from the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant, enveloping most of them.

Whoosh!

The pile of Spirit Elixirs disappeared instantly.

“Better than nothing!”

“Enough, let me guide you now!”

Xu Yang leapt up.

With Gu Jun guiding him, his aim was clear.

On the way, he showed Gu Jun the Breathing Skill and Bone Melting Transformation. The latter was a bit surprised too.

He had high praise for these two arts—as expected!

Half a day passed.

Suddenly Gu Jun said, “Eight hundred li to the left!”

Xu Yang changed direction and sped to the left.

“Master, what did you sense?”

“There’s a body fragment—should be about the same as that wrist bone.”

Having come to the Purple Fire Celestial Prison, as a part of his original flesh, even after all these years, some instinctive resonance still let him vaguely sense their location.

Hearing that there was another body fragment, Xu Yang’s spirits lifted.

After so many years, wherever these body fragments rested was sure to be anything but simple—perhaps there would be unexpected gains.

After half an hour, Gu Jun spoke again. Xu Yang stopped, frowning as he looked ahead.

Up ahead, the fabric of space was extremely thin, distorted ripples rolling wave after wave, tumbling incessantly, shrouding an area several thousand zhang in radius.

At his current strength, even a single clash within would cause space to collapse, unleashing a terrifying storm!

“Careful. The thing should be on a beast!” Gu Jun cautioned.

“A beast?”

Xu Yang blinked in astonishment, then his face hardened. He suppressed his presence and silently crept forward.

The previous owner, even after fusing the wrist bone, had failed. Now this fragment was on a beast, and the beast still lived. Its strength must be extraordinary!

Soon enough, Xu Yang felt an unmistakable sense of threat!

He darted behind a small knoll.

Glancing sideways, he saw a small purple mink gnawing on the corpse of a massive beast in a mountain gorge.

“Purple Fire Mink—so it’s that little thing. No wonder it survived after obtaining a fragment of my flesh.”

Gu Jun muttered in surprise.

“Master, is there something special about this Purple Fire Mink?” Xu Yang asked curiously.

“The Spirit Fire I had back then was the extremely rare Purple Sun Heaven-Burning Fire. It was among the top ten Spirit Fires in the world!”

“This Purple Fire Mink has no actual connection to the Purple Sun Heaven-Burning Fire, but with its unique purple fire bloodline, it can just about withstand a small flesh fragment.”

“However, this little thing hasn’t actually fused it. Seems it’s just using it as a treasure!”

Xu Yang was shocked. “Could this little thing also have considerable spiritual intelligence?”

“More or less!”

“Even though the environment here is brutal, there are always some unique beings!”

“But Master, this Purple Fire Mink is at the Late Stage of Myriad Manifestation Realm—how do we deal with it?” Xu Yang worried.

No matter how confident he was, even now he didn’t dare clash with a Late Stage Myriad Manifestation Realm beast!

That’d be suicidal.

“With me here, it’s just a trivial Late Stage Myriad Manifestation Realm!”

“At present, there are two ways I can help you suppress this little thing!”

Gu Jun said with proud laughter.
