The Upper God slightly closed his eyes, with a profound expression. “Seal the released soul. The person casting the spell must have high cultivation and the ability to seal.”
I was confused. Among people I know, no one seems to have this ability. I scratched my head and asked, “Could Upper God be more specific?”
“Qing Yuan, the Great Priest with the Cold Ice Body.”
“Pfft…” I almost spat blood and rolled my eyes. “He won’t help me. I’m not even in his sight.”
The Upper God sighed. “Your intelligence is truly frustrating. Do you think you must seek him directly?”
I twisted my mouth. “You’re not suggesting I go find Mu Chuan, are you?”
“Indeed.”
Damn you!
You really want to send me to the Ghost Realm to exchange for world peace? This is like a lamb entering a tiger’s den, with no return! I’ve finally returned to the Divine Realm – I never want to go to the Ghost Realm again!
The Upper God said, “Your soul’s return is inevitable. Without finding the Great Priest, the chances of success are low. Do you want to watch other gods waste their cultivation trying to reconstruct your soul and fail? Don’t you want to know who stabbed you in the back? Don’t you want to stop being a rookie immortal?”
“…Fine, I’ll go!” I covered my ears, restraining the urge to kick him away, then thought and said with a tearful face, “Upper God, you know my cultivation is extremely low. I’m not even a rookie, just a vegetable. Can you give me a powerful magical treasure for self-defense?”
The Upper God understood and readily agreed: “Indeed, I should give you something.”
He laughed heartily, his waist making a crackling sound, immediately showing pain. With a wave of his hand, a red pill glowed in his palm: “Take it, a good thing to increase cultivation.”
I was overjoyed and swallowed it whole.
He rubbed his waist and said, “Actually, this was something you gave me when you were a medicine immortal.”
Grief struck suddenly, and my voice was hoarse: “Upper God, is this medicine… expired?”
The Upper God turned his back and pointed left: “Exit to the right, goodbye.”
