Chapter 2842: Ancestor Shubu
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
The tall figure, half a skeleton and half decayed flesh, known as the "Undead," groped through the darkness to a certain altar.This altar, like those outside, echoed its layout, creating a parent-child altar.
And this undead was a certain ancestor of the Shugubu.
It ignited the altar, and by the ghostly green flames, found a familiar compass made of white bone, engraved with various mystical beast patterns.
The face of the Ancestor Shugu showed a trace of reminiscence.
Though covered in decayed flesh, its expression could not be seen clearly.
Afterward, it activated the compass, stabilizing its own cause and effect, preventing any hint of vitality from leaking out and attracting the Heavenly Dao’s backlash.
Then it closed its eyes, and upon opening them again, it found itself within a White Bone Hall.
This was a Divine Thought Hall meticulously crafted by the Divine Souls of the past ancestors of the White Bone lineage.
Its physical body was already dead, temporarily preserved in the White Bone Coffin.
If it wanted to accomplish anything, it could only exert influence through the Dream Realm, manipulating the present world via causality.
It originally did not want to do this, as its existence was inherently hidden, unsuitable for excessive action.
More actions lead to more mistakes, fewer actions lead to fewer mistakes, no action leads to no mistakes.
Worse yet, it might disrupt the natural order, bringing forth an unknown "Great Terror".
But it had no choice.
The descendant’s bloodline covenant was there, and since among the descendants, the Great Chief had died, offering his heart, along with a ritual invitation.
It had no choice but to intervene.
This legacy requires descendants.
A bloodline without offspring cannot awaken it, and once awakened, it must do something for its progeny.
Ancestor Shugu entered the White Bone Hall and saw the Iron Skill Bone, who had pierced his own heart with a dagger and was kneeling before him.
Currently, Iron Skill Bone was wrapped in White Bone Lock Chains.
He willingly sacrificed his life to become the "living sacrifice" and awaken the ancestor.
"Knowing that the ancestor has been buried for long and is hungry, offering himself for the ancestor to eat, could be considered ’filial’..."
Ancestor Shugu nodded.
He turned to look at a "Blood Curse" contract.
It was the contract through which Iron Skill Bone sacrificed his life, presented to him, detailing information about the person intended to be cursed.
Ancestor Shugu glanced at it and froze.
"Mr. Witch, seems in his twenties, actual cultivation age unknown... Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivation?"
Ancestor Shugu looked back at the "sacrificial" Iron Skill Bone, thinking:
A Golden Core cultivator, coming to offer his life, knocking on my ancestor’s coffin, awakening me to kill a Foundation Building Cultivator?
Have the descendants of my Shugubu become incompetent to this degree?
Ancestor Shugu was momentarily unsure if his own eyes had rotted away, obscuring his vision, or if his descendants’ minds had malfunctioned.
He truly wanted to pry open their skulls to see if there were any brains inside.
"The death of a Great Chief, the sacrifice of a Golden Core, awakening me just to do this..."
Ancestor Shugu felt a surge of Fire Qi rising within.
But given the blood covenant, he had no choice but to follow through, suppressing his anger, and proceed according to protocol.
"Mr. Witch..."
Ancestor Shugu recited this name, began to seek causality, preparing to cast the curse, but after searching for a long time, he furrowed his brow.
"Not his real name?"
Even the surname and identity were inaccurate, making it impossible to precisely target the individual.
Ancestor Shugu immediately realized that his descendants had been deceived.
Moreover, they were thoroughly fooled, not even knowing the name or title of the intended target.
However, thankfully...
The blood covenant contained additional information about this "Mr. Witch’s" physical appearance, speech, and demeanor.
Due to Iron Skill Bone’s prolonged interaction with Mo Hua, and having been severely tortured by Mo Hua, he knew much about Mo Hua.
Clearly, Iron Skill Bone wasn’t certain if Mo Hua was actually called "Mr. Witch," hence he provided numerous other clues.
Though the title somewhat mismatched, the other information was sufficient to pinpoint causality.
Ancestor Shugu’s expertise in causality was indeed profound.
Even this issue wasn’t difficult for him.
The words on the blood covenant started dissolving one by one, turning into blood-red cause and effect lines, unfolding before Ancestor Shugu.
After calculating extensively, Ancestor Shugu finally discovered several fatal cause and effect lines from the causality.
It started taking action, reciting the mantra, manipulating the cause and effect lines, using the White Bone hand to sever life lines, binding all death lines together.
This way, extinguishing this person’s vitality, thereafter all his causes would lead to the "death" effect.
Any circumstance would develop towards a "fatal" direction.
The person calling himself "Mr. Witch" at Foundation Building stage would inevitably suffer a "curse," doomed to die.
Initially, everything proceeded smoothly.
The cause and effect lines were located.
The life lines seemed to have been severed.
But upon channeling the "death lines" onto the Life Chart, a terrifying problem emerged:
That was, on this person’s Life Chart... it appeared that numerous "death lines" had already accumulated.
Ancestor Shugu, unable to see or touch, sensed that these "death lines" were densely packed, unimaginably abundant.
Compared to this, the few "death lines" it added were utterly insignificant.
Ancestor Shugu’s decayed eyeballs began to tremble.
"...What is this? Bearing so many death causes, yet still ’alive’? Can this even be a living person?"
In this case, does my "curse" still hold any meaning?
Ancestor Shugu pondered for a while, then suddenly noticed the cause and effect lines in hand also began to tremble, as if someone on the other end was exerting force, pulling his cause and effect lines.
Ancestor Shugu was startled, then his expression changed dramatically.
"Something... is crawling over via the cause and effect lines?!"
