Liang Yuan learns that those returning from the Starry Sky Ancient City are dependent on a soul channel that is close to collapse. He devises a plan to stabilize the channel with potions and capture the returning souls to use as servants. Liang Yuan also discovers that the returned souls are housed in ancient coffins within underground palaces and learns of three other such locations. To cover all sites, Liang Yuan deploys three clones of himself, sending them to secure the other palaces while he remains at the Forget River palace.

Liang Yuan’s Clone No.1 sat cross-legged, glancing at the nearby Ma Ning and Madam Meng.

"Madam Meng, now you find a body, how long will it take for you two to restore your power?"

Madam Meng smiled wryly, "I’ve not found my flesh. Perhaps over the long years, my flesh has already decayed and there’s no response."

Ma Ning hurriedly said, "Master, give me half a month, and I can return to my peak state."

Liang Yuan was momentarily speechless and asked, "Half a month? What was your strength at peak?"

Ma Ning quickly said, "Just one step short of Feathered Ascension, crossing into the Star God Realm, becoming an Immortal roaming the cosmos."

"Genetic Reorganization Perfection, huh?"

He immediately felt at ease.

Half a month to recover, and even at peak recovery, it’s merely a 100% gene recombination.

If that’s the case, my other two clones should have no problem suppressing the resurrected old monsters from the Netherworld in the other crypts.

The gene recombination progress of those two clones is the same as this one, both with Genetic Reorganization Perfection strength.

In this situation, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.

Liang Yuan looked again at Madam Meng and asked, "Madam Meng, if your body is damaged, can you use someone else’s body?"

Madam Meng shook her head, "It definitely needs adaptation. Actually, it’s best to find a descendant with my bloodline."

"It’s just that I was in a rush at the time, and there wasn’t enough time to find a new body, so I planned to temporarily find a random body first, recuperate, and then find a way to transfer."

Her Spiritual soul was still too weak, having consumed a tremendous amount of Spiritual Power in the soul passage.

Being able to return here was already very challenging.

Liang Yuan understood and asked, "So you mean your souls can leave the body at any time?"

Beside him, Ma Ning immediately shook his head and said, "Only those of Meng Po’s tribe can do it; we others certainly cannot."

"Oh? Why is that?" Liang Yuan asked.

Ma Ning said, "The people of the Meng Po tribe have special Talent in the way of Spiritual and soul, not only able to steal others’ memories, cleanse others’ consciousness, but even transfer souls."

Liang Yuan was puzzled, "If the people of Meng Po’s tribe are so strong, why can’t they withstand the soul passage transfer?"

"Yet you can accurately find your own corpse. What’s the reason for that?"

Ma Ning hesitated a little, then said, "Before entering the soul passage, I specifically devoured a Soul Body."

Liang Yuan’s expression darkened instantly, and he immediately asked, "Who did you devour?"

"Uh, rest assured, it’s not your companions; it was one of those old guys in our group, my nemesis."

"Your companions are now crucial pillars of the soul passage. Even if we were stupid, we wouldn’t devour your companions’ souls."

Seeing Liang Yuan’s face become gloomy, Ma Ning was startled and quickly explained.

Indeed, this group of old folks still relied on the soul passage constructed by Ling Yurong and others to return, so how could they devour these people’s souls first?

Liang Yuan relaxed and did not dwell on the matter, instead saying, "The two of you quickly restore your power. Next, I want to catch these people returning from the Starry Sky Great Wall one by one."

Ma Ning and Madam Meng both nodded bitterly.

Madam Meng once again found a suitable corpse of a Meng Po descendant.

Seeing this, Liang Yuan asked, "After you occupy this body, what happens to the original owner of this body? Can she compete with you for this flesh?"

Madam Meng shook her head, "The soul of this body’s owner has long dissipated in the Starry Sky Great Wall, which is why I chose her."

"Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare choose a body with an owner, since the original owner’s bond with the body far surpasses mine. If it were really a contest for the corpse, I wouldn’t stand a chance."

Liang Yuan realized, "So, when you all return, it’s best to choose your own body, and if your body has decayed, you can only find a descendant’s corpse with bloodline ties?"

"Yes, Master."

Liang Yuan couldn’t help but think of the methods of immortality employed by Ling Yurong and others, which seemed to have many similarities.

Ling Yurong and others hid their Split Minds deep within the bloodline genes, quietly lying dormant.

Until the doomsday arrived, they awakened once more and completed the possession.

Doesn’t it seem that the longevity method of Ling Yurong and others was inherited from these ancient old folks?

"Boom boom boom——"

At this moment, a coffin not far away emitted sounds of activity.

Liang Yuan looked over, and beside him, Ma Ning and Madam Meng immediately got up and instinctively walked over, preparing to open the coffin.

Liang Yuan also stood up and walked over.

Ma Ning and Madam Meng glanced at Liang Yuan, and after Liang Yuan gave a slight nod, they began to open the coffin.

Creak——!

As the coffin opened, a hearty laughter emerged from inside.

"Hahaha, damn it, I’m finally back!"

A Minotaur suddenly sat up, spewing White mist from his nose.

The first thing he did upon rising was quickly scan his surroundings.

However, upon seeing Madam Meng and Ma Ning, his expression momentarily stiffened, then he chuckled.

"Ma Ning, Third Granny Meng, you guys are quick on your feet."

Ma Ning and Madam Meng exchanged a glance, then both smiled.

Ma Ning said, "Brother Niu, you finally made it."

Madam Meng said, "Congratulations, Brother Niu, on your rebirth."

The Minotaur laughed boisterously, but just when he was about to speak, he sensed something wrong, a chill creeping up behind him.

Thud!

A muffled noise sounded as Liang Yuan slapped his palm onto the Minotaur’s head.

The Minotaur’s eyes instantly turned White, and a Soul Imprisonment Rune was forcibly embedded in his body.

Without waiting for Liang Yuan to continue his actions.

Not far away, another coffin was stirring!

Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow, "They’re coming quickly; it seems the old folks of the Starry Sky Ancient City can’t wait any longer."

He felt concerned, unsure if Gu Feng and Shi Haizhu had reached the altar to inject Ling Yurong and Tu Long with drugs.

Those drugs were system-exchanged and are assuredly potent.

As long as Ling Yurong and others were injected, they could certainly hold out for a while.

With this buffer time, I should have gradually controlled many of these returning old things by then.

With that in place, I can negotiate with the old guys from the Starry Sky Ancient City.

With these thoughts in mind, he arrived at another coffin.

He casually swung a palm, knocking the coffin lid open.

The person inside immediately sat up and shouted, "Thank you, friend."

Thud!

The response was another Soul Imprisonment Rune from Liang Yuan!

Before the person even realized, they were instantly subdued.

Meanwhile, at the other three crypts within the Netherworld, Liang Yuan’s three major clones had already arrived.

However, because these three clones arrived slightly later, by now, each of the three crypts had coffins already opened, with individuals prematurely escaping their coffins.

At present, inside the crypt at the Reincarnation Platform, Liang Yuan’s Clone No.2 looked at the numerous coffins, his expression calm.

"Five coffins have been opened, the gatekeepers here..."

The Reincarnation Platform is the territory of the Asura clan, yet based on Meng Ting’s account, very few members of the Asura clan remain alive.

So it’s normal for this crypt not to have gatekeepers.

Clone No.2 spread his Spiritual Power, failing to sense anyone nearby.

The five already-returned old folks have likely already left this place.

Thump thump thump...

At that moment, a coffin suddenly started making a violent noise.

Clone No.2 Liang Yuan immediately shifted his gaze, a glint flashing through his eyes, and he swiftly approached.
