Chapter 41: Yu's Lingering Soul (4) (Second Update, Please Collect)

  "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, Fellow Daoist. You don't have to condense the Purple Qi and the Primordial Spirit. I suppose you won't do that anyway. However, the Emperor's Purple Qi is indeed extremely effective. When the time comes, you will know it yourself. And I'm not asking you to necessarily take revenge for me, but only when your abilities permit it. What are your thoughts on this, Fellow Daoist?"

  Shen Gong Bao hesitated for a moment, feeling that he didn't seem to be at a disadvantage. What was important was that if he didn't agree, Da Yu would probably die together with him. In that case, it was better to agree. "Good, since the King of Yu has said so, I, the poor Daoist, will accept!"

  "Haha, alright, I believe you, fellow Taoist!"

  Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Shen Gongbao. The man was wearing an imperial robe, eight feet tall, with a strong and majestic build, his eyes gleaming like a tiger's, exuding an aura of power without making a sound, standing calmly in front of Shen Gongbao, radiating an overwhelming imperial pressure.

  "The poor Taoist priest Shen Gongbao has met King Yu!"

  "Nice to meet you, fellow Taoist!"

  Shen Gong Bao made another bow and said: "Can King Yu resolve another doubt for me?"

  "It doesn't matter what you say!"

  "Why doesn't King Yu go to reincarnate and find a new life, if he were to give his imperial purple energy to me, I'm afraid even King Yu himself would end up with a scattered soul and never achieve transcendence!"

  Da Yu sank into thought for a long time, then let out a bleak laugh. "It's not that I don't want to be reborn and reincarnated, but rather I'm afraid that as soon as I leave this place and rush to the land of reincarnation, I'll be caught by Laozi. Everyone under the saint is just an ant!"

  Shen Gong Bao heard this and remained silent for a long time. The abilities of the sage are indeed unpredictable, and Tai Shang Lao Jun has always been calm and unassuming, yet unexpectedly so ruthless. Perhaps Yu's words were not entirely true, but even an empty hole can produce wind, and there must be a reason for it. It seems that Yu is now nearing death, and his words should be kind, he wouldn't deceive himself.

  "From now on, I must be extremely careful around this Tai Shang Lao Jun! However, which of the saints is easy to get along with?" Shen Gong Bao sighed inwardly.

  It suddenly occurred to him that there was no news of Da Yu's resurrection in later generations. Except for the mountain axe being taken by Yang Jian and the Dinghai Shennedle being taken by the monkey, there is no record of the Yuwangding and Da Yu's residual soul. Under the vague history, many unclear reasons must be hidden. Now it seems that perhaps it was indeed as Da Yu had foreseen, someone would come soon to enter this place, discover the three spiritual treasures, and at that time, Taishang Laojun would naturally sense Da Yu's residual soul. It is likely that both the Yuwangding and Da Yu's residual soul were taken by Laozi.

  "Is King Yu certain that it must be so? Is there no other way?"

  Shen Gongbao, however, felt some sympathy for Da Yu. It is often said that having jade brings guilt, but Da Yu had not obtained such a precious treasure and yet suffered such an unexpected disaster, ending up in such a miserable state, which was truly pitiful and lamentable!

  "My mind is made up, fellow Taoist, there's no need to be like this. Just wait until you have the ability, and then help me get a fair deal back!" Da Yu's tone was very calm, as if he had already let go of life and death.

  "Also, back then I sealed the entrance to this hiding place under the belly of the dragon and hid it beneath its reverse scales. The dragon's reverse scales, no one would think to look there, right? And at that time, I announced to the world the reason for sealing the dragon, so no one should have suspected anything. That way, I could rest easy all this time... but poor dragon!"

  Da Yu's face was filled with remorse, and after a long while, he said: "After the Daoist friend leaves, I will apologize to Ba for my wrongdoing!"

  Yu the Great paused for a moment, then continued: "The three treasures, Yu Wang Ding, are all hidden inside the stone tablet. That stone tablet was specially refined by me after I felt the crisis, and with the three treasures, I set up various restrictions to prevent my own aura from leaking out, and at the same time, I restricted the power of the tyrant's actions. After you take away the three treasures, the stone tablet's restrictions will automatically break, and the tyrant will also be freed."

  It seems that all the last words have been entrusted, after finishing speaking, Da Yu stood with his hands behind his back, silently looking up at the sky above, his tiger eyes seemed to penetrate space, and gaze at the distant sky. After a long time, Da Yu suddenly pointed to the sky and roared: "I am Da Yu, the way of heaven is not fair, it's not fair!"

  The sound is like a thunderclap on a clear day, the copper bell bursts forth, resonating all around, as if shattering the sky.

  Unyielding, unrelenting!

  Regret! Regret! Regret!

  After the sound of the explosion, Da Yu's body suddenly burst into flames and disappeared in an instant, leaving behind a cluster of purple clouds that floated in mid-air, and Shen Gong Bao understood that this must be the imperial purple energy left by Da Yu for him.

  With a single finger, the imperial purple energy flew to his hand, and immediately the imperial purple energy drilled into Shengong's brow, unimpeded. Shengong stood still on the spot, eyes closed.

  After a moment, Shen Gong Bao slowly opened his eyes, and a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He muttered to himself: "Da Yu, thank you! If I have the ability, I will definitely help you get justice!"

  Then, Shen Gong Bao imprinted his own soul mark into the core of Yu Wang Ding's treasure, and with Da Yu's memories, finding the core of the treasure was as easy as turning over one's hand.

  The imperial purple aura left by Da Yu is actually his residual soul, but Da Yu has already extinguished his consciousness, and his memories have been left behind. Thus, the heavens will never again see the appearance of Da Yu.

  However, this has allowed Shen Gongbao to gain great benefits once again. Not to mention the three treasures and the imperial purple energy, just the Da Yu's cultivation experience and insights are enough to make Shen Gongbao ecstatic. He only needs to fully merge with Da Yu's memories, and his cultivation will definitely make rapid progress, breaking through the Taiyi Mystic Immortal in a short period of time and entering the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, which is also within reach.

  However, digesting the memory of Da Yu was not something that could be completed in a short period of time. After Shen Gong Bao completely refined the Yu Wang Ding, he suddenly understood its effects. This cauldron was against the heavens and had obtained boundless merits when Da Yu created the Nine States Cauldron to guard the nine states. As the cauldron used for refining, it became a treasure with great merits. Later, Da Yu poured nearly half of his own merits into it, making it an ultimate treasure with great merits. Although it did not have any attacking abilities, it was absolutely a defensive treasure. Moreover, using it to refine equipment or elixirs would make it an extremely precious treasure.

  Perhaps due to the refinement of the Jiuzhou Ding, Yu Wang Ding also has an effect of sealing heaven and locking earth. It comes with a divine ability called "Ding Zhen Jiuzhou". After casting it, one can seal the space of that person, making it impossible for them to leave for a short period of time.

  But Da Yu, when he was refining the Nine Provinces Cauldron, had actually combined them with the Yu Wang Ding to create a mother-child cauldron, with the Yu Wang Ding as the mother. At that time, Shen Gong Bao had already refined the Yu Wang Ding and could control the Nine Provinces Cauldron, but Shen Gong Bao didn't have the guts to touch the Nine Provinces Cauldron - that would be asking for death.

  However, Shen Gong Bao gazed around and still saw the unceasing gathering of the people's faith from the nine states. He furrowed his brow, then controlled the Yu Wang Ding, stretching out his hand to tap a few times. Suddenly, the milky white lines that had been linked in mid-air disappeared without a trace.

  "Although I am not a good person, I also cannot let the same situation happen again in the future. With my actions this time, I think the fate of later generations will change."

  Shen Gong Bao murmured, although the nameless has disappeared, but the memory of the nameless is still deeply rooted. As for the tragic fate that the nine states will suffer in the future, Shen Gong Bao absolutely cannot tolerate it. If everything goes smoothly for him during the Sealing God's Calamity and nothing major happens, then the scenes that will occur in the future will never happen again.

  "The overall situation will not change, but the minor trend can be expected! It's just that I don't know if the suffering of the nine states is predetermined by the great trend of heaven, in which case even if one makes more efforts, it would be in vain!"

  Shaking his head, he shook off the chaotic thoughts. It was still too early to consider these things now. The biggest problem at present was how to get through the Tribulation of the Sealing God safely.

  At this moment, a huge pillar of merit suddenly fell from the sky and landed on Shen Gongbao's body. It disappeared after a long time, leaving Shen Gongbao stunned. After a while, he suddenly realized that his actions had brought great blessings to all living beings in the nine states, and his merits were immeasurable. The heavenly reward was also understandable.

  "Accidentally planting a willow and getting shade, haha, all the benefits are mine!" Shen Gongbao couldn't stop laughing slyly, his face revealing his vulgarity.

  After a long time, seeing that the matter was settled, Shen Gong Bao immediately left the Treasure Space, put Yu Wang Ding into his body, and then left. The three treasures were collected, the formation disappeared, and the surrounding seawater filled in again. The deep sea water here also flowed quietly like other places.

  (Second update, everyone collect and recommend it, hehe, thank you friends for the reward, Qingfeng will continue to work hard!)
