Vacant Spirit Ground and Perfect World
Daoist Yuande bobbed his head. “Bai Jie asked us if we knew where Vacant Spirit Ground is, but none of us knew. He then wiped our memories of the question. Mu Yu, you brought back every single memory for me, including Ku Mu wetting the bed…”
“Mu Yu must’ve dislodged a nerve!” thundered Ku Mu.
Daoist Yuande ducked behind Mu Yu. “Mu Yu, you would help an elder, wouldn’t you? Unlike him, you respect your elders, so you should take my side. I was just making a remark that came to mind.”
As amused as Mu Yu was, he kept his priorities in place. “Elder, are you certain Bai Jie claimed so?”
“I am. Many memories are now vivid for me.”
“Shifu told me Nine Heavens Demon Sealing Formation and Vacant Spirit Ground are designed to combat elemental demons; where do the foreign races come into this?”
“While that is true, that’s not the full extent of it. Again, the world only exists if there is balance. Vacant Spirit Ground is a formation Sword Shadow Dust Gale set and is actually Perfect World,” explained Ku Mu.
“Where is it, then?” Mu Yu asked.
“You remember asking me about the eight sealed locations?”“I do. There are two places I have yet to go to.”
“The formations in the locations are used to connect Vacant Spirit Ground. Hence, there is a specific method needed to locate it. I can’t believe it escaped me. I should’ve had you defend Perfect World after Bai Jie destroyed Ultimate Immortals monument.”
“Does that mean restoring Perfect World’s balance means we can banish the foreign races?”
“Correct. I’m sure Bai Jie has put Perfect World under his protection or moved it, though. It’s not going to be easy to find it now. Nonetheless, what needs to be done has to be done.”
“How are we supposed to find out where it’s been moved to?” Xiaoshuai questioned.
“Sword Shadow City. I’m certain of it,” claimed Daoist Yuande.
“Why?” Ku Mu and Mu Yu asked in synchrony.
“Prior to Ku Mu’s mishap… I sent him to Sword Shadow City, the city named to commemorate Sword Shadow Dust Gale’s visit there in the past, and asked personnel from Hundred Herbs Hall to escort him to Pill Cauldron Sect, which led to his mishap. I was actually in the city as I was ordered to stay on standby in the city. Bai Jie mentioned Sword Shadow Dust Gale cast a formation there that’s suitable for migrating Vacant Spirit Ground. Of course, he only mentioned it as I was under his control at the time.”
“Dad, did you not notice anything when you went there?”
“… I know he deployed a formation there, but he didn’t tell me why, and I don’t like to ask because I don’t care about his personal business.”
“In that case, Sword Shadow City is our next target. I personally go to check it out,” Mu Yu asserted.
“Shall I accompany you? I remember where the formation is,” offered Daoist Yuande.
“No, you should rest. If you want to bask in our glory, then get a move on. I’ll be okay on my own,” Mu Yu advised.
“Hehehe, I won’t mind somebody’s disrespect.”
“You better forget whatever humiliating memories you recalled unless you want me to incarcerate you in Revealing Cauldron,” threatened Ku Mu.
Daoist Yuande recoiled and showed a clean pair of heels.
Mu Yu requested Tan Qingquan fetch He Jinglong and Xuan Family’s bodies over so that he could revive them using Life and Death in the Blink of an Eye.
“Resurrection really still feels unthinkable.” He Jinglong tried getting used to his body again. “It’s even more unthinkable to think that we’re fighting not just elemental demons anymore but foreign races. To repay you for bringing me back to life, I will cut down as many of them as I can.”
“Forsooth, we will not retreat,” added Xuan Zhengtang, while Chi Shan and Xuan Sitong held hands, expressing their resolution to fight alongside each other.
“Take these pills.” Mu Yu passed Xuan Family and He Jinglong several pills. “They will come in handy during fights as I cannot bring you back a second time.”
He Jinglong and Xuan Family were provided with a residence on Bamboo Peak thereafter.
Ku Mu stressed, “If we must fight the foreign races head on, we need more allies. Although alchemists are providing pills to supplement our allies’ progress, we’re still far from having a force that can match our opponents’. I shouldn’t be considered as part of your vanguard as we can’t move Revealing Cauldron or Formation Palace, restricting me to Pill Cauldron Sect’s grounds. You and your brothers aren’t on the same wavelength, are you? Anything you can do about it?”
“… Our opinions on the human race differ. Regardless, we do share a common enemy,” replied Mu Yu, thinking, Though I don’t know what to do if Xiang Nan and Lie Shang intend to replicate Bai Jie’s actions.
