Chapter 249 The Company's Ideas
Feng Baobao smiled faintly: "Since you possess the Heavenly Gu Body, you should bear the corresponding responsibilities."
When they returned to Tongtianling, Jin Qiankun was already there with the most elite disciples of Tongtianling to greet them at the mountain gate.
Jiang Mo and Feng Baobao briefly explained the situation and handed the ancient jade over to Jin Qiankun.
"That's wonderful!"
Jin Qiankun was overjoyed. "The company has also agreed to lend out six Gu God relics, which are currently being placed in the West Hall of Tongtian Ridge."
"According to the plan, we can hold the ceremony to restore the seal at midnight tomorrow night!"
Jiang Mo nodded, then asked, "Sect Leader Jin, how much do you know about the legend of the Gu God's bloodline?"
Jin Qiankun was taken aback, then his expression became complicated: "You've heard?"
Jiang Mo told Jin Qiankun what the black gu had said.
Jin Qiankun sighed deeply: "Actually, I've long suspected that you have an unusual connection with the Gu God."
"It's not just because of the abilities you've demonstrated, but also because of your special sensitivity to the soul of the Gu God."
"According to the ancient records of Tongtianling, the Gu God did indeed leave behind a wisp of bloodline before his fall, which was entrusted to a descendant."
"This descendant will appear when the Gu God returns, becoming the key to determining the manner of the Gu God's return."
"If this person's heart is turned towards the light, the Gu God will return peacefully."
"If this person harbors darkness within, the Gu God will reappear in a tyrannical form."
Jiang Mo took a deep breath: "So, the way the Gu God returns is ultimately up to me?"
Jin Qiankun nodded: "That's how it is in theory."
"How exactly things will develop remains to be seen until tomorrow night's ceremony."
"Now, you all need to rest well and prepare for the ceremony tomorrow night."
Jiang Mo and Feng Baobao returned to their respective rooms.
It was late at night, but Jiang Mo couldn't fall asleep.
He walked to the window, gazing at the distant starry sky, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
From waking up in the Medicine Immortal Gathering to now potentially becoming a key figure in determining the way the Gu God returns, the journey has felt like a dream.
If he is truly the possessor of the Gu God's bloodline, or even the reincarnation of the Gu God, then his existence itself has a special significance.
The ceremony tomorrow night might provide the answer to this question.
With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Mo finally fell into a short sleep before dawn.
The next day, everyone in Tongtianling was busy preparing for the evening's ceremony.
Jin Qiankun led Jiang Mo and Feng Baobao to the West Hall, where six relics of the Gu God were displayed, borrowed from the company.
An ancient sword, a jade seal, a bronze mirror, a black crystal, a bone chain, and a scroll made of animal hide—these are the legendary relics of the Gu God.
Each piece exudes an ancient and mysterious aura, and has a subtle connection with the ancient jade in Jiang Mo's hands.
“These relics are said to be the embodiment of the Gu God’s power,” Jin Qiankun explained. “Together, they constitute the Gu God’s power system.”
"The ancient sword represents the sharpness of the Gu God, the jade seal represents the authority of the Gu God, and the bronze mirror represents the wisdom of the Gu God."
"The black crystal represents the energy of the Gu God, the bone chain represents the Gu God's vitality, and the animal hide scroll represents the Gu God's knowledge."
"The ancient jade represents the origin of the Gu God and is the most important of the seven relics."
Jiang Mo carefully examined the six relics, feeling a strange sense of familiarity, as if they were meant to belong to him.
"The ceremony will take place at midnight tonight."
Jin Qiankun continued, "At that time, we will place the seven relics around the crystal coffin to form a special array."
"Then, Feng Baobao's blood combined with the seven relics and was injected into the seal to repair the breach."
"Jiang Mo, as the successor of the Gu God, your task is to guide the power of the seven relics so that they can perfectly fuse with the blood of the Heavenly Gu Body."
Jiang Mo nodded: "Understood."
After leaving the West Palace, Jiang Mo went alone to a secluded spot in Tongtian Ridge.
I plan to calm my mind through meditation in preparation for the evening's ceremony.
He sat cross-legged, circulating his Qi within his body, sensing the unique spiritual energy of Tongtian Ridge.
As the Qi circulated, strands of golden light began to flow within his body, and powerful energy fluctuations emanated from him.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through Jiang Mo's heart, causing him to abruptly open his eyes.
"What...is this feeling?"
Jiang Mo gasped for breath, feeling that strange pain.
This was not ordinary pain, but a call from the depths of my blood, as if something was awakening.
He looked down at his chest and was surprised to find...
A golden line was appearing on his chest and slowly spreading to his limbs.
"The Gu God's bloodline is awakening?" Jiang Mo's heart skipped a beat. "Is it because the seven relics have gathered, triggering a resonance?"
As the golden patterns spread...
Jiang Mo felt an unprecedented power surging within him, like a turbulent tide.
This power was both familiar and strange, seemingly lurking within his bloodline until it was awakened today.
"what--"
With a low roar, Jiang Mo's body suddenly erupted with a dazzling golden light, and he floated in mid-air.
His eyes turned pure gold, and countless ancient and mysterious runes appeared all over his body.
These runes are exactly the same as those on the crystal coffin.
An unparalleled power filled Jiang Mo's entire body, making him feel stronger than ever before.
A moment later, the golden light gradually faded, and Jiang Mo landed back on the ground.
The golden lines gradually disappeared beneath the skin, but the power they left behind remained real.
Jiang Mo stretched out his palm and gently clenched it, and countless golden particles immediately appeared in the air.
This is a pure manifestation of Qi, something only practitioners who have reached an extremely high level can achieve.
"Is this the power of the Gu God's bloodline?" Jiang Mo murmured, feeling the surging energy within his body.
He knew that the bloodline within him had awakened, and regardless of the outcome of tonight's ceremony, he was no longer the Jiang Mo he once was.
As night fell, a thin layer of mist rose above Tongtianling, shrouding the entire mountain range in mystery.
As midnight approached, Jin Qiankun led the elders and disciples of Tongtianling to the ancient well.
Jiang Mo and Feng Baobao had been waiting there for a long time.
"Are you ready?" Jin Qiankun asked.
Jiang Mo and Feng Baobao both nodded.
"Then, let the ceremony begin!"
As the clock struck midnight, Jin Qiankun was the first to jump into the ancient well, followed closely by the others.
Through the portal, the group arrived at the underground space sealed by the Gu God.
The crystal coffin still stood quietly in the center, with the soul of the Gu God slowly circulating within it, radiating golden light.
However, unlike last time, the Gu God's soul is noticeably more active today.
It kept changing shape inside the crystal coffin, as if sensing some impending change.
