"Sigh … what a pity." Han Buwei looked at the white bones not far away and felt a little guilty. However, this feeling only lasted for a short moment. In his opinion, how could a cultivator be immortal? Even if their lifespan was extremely long, they did not need to worry about their lifespan like mortals.
They would also fall because of all kinds of battles. Now, Ning Qi only had his physical body destroyed, but he could still come back to life in the Immortal Palace. Han Buwei's only pity was that Ning Qi was a body-tempering cultivator. His physical body had been killed by Gongsun Wufo with one punch. Many years of hard work had gone down the drain just like that.
If he came back to life, he would probably not be able to defeat an early-stage Rebirth State expert with just a few punches like before.
"I'll wait for him to reform his physical body and see if I can give him some compensation." Han Buwei shook his head and glanced at the two figures hidden in the void not far away. Then, he turned and left. He knew a little about the operation of the Boundless Jiang cultivators at Heavenly Grandmother Sect. However, he didn't know much and didn't want to know too much.
The Boundless Border cultivators' responsibility was to hunt down the dark cultivators. As long as these rebels did not cause trouble in the Tianmu Sect, they had nothing to do with him.
"He's finally dead. He probably won't be in the mood to come here next time."
The two Boundless Border cultivators looked at each other, then smiled and turned to leave. As they left, they also looked at the stone tablet that had been smashed into pieces by Ning Qi's physical body.
Although they felt that something was wrong, they did not think too much about it.
Ning Qi's corpse lay quietly in the pile of rubble. When everyone had left and the place became silent, a ray of golden light suddenly flashed on the pinky of his right hand.
…
"Why didn't I return to the Immortal Palace?"
Ning Qi looked at the star giant in front of him with a strange expression.
His current state was exactly the same as when he cultivated the Ancient Star Body. It was just that he had a physical body back then, so it was normal for his Primordial Spirit to come here.
But now that his physical body had been destroyed by Gongsun Wufo, the place he should return to should be the Hell Suppressing Immortal Palace, and then reform his physical body!
As he thought about it, a ray of star power shot out from the star giant at the same time. The star power immediately entered Ning Qi's Primordial Spirit …
An hour later.
Ning Qi revealed a trace of seriousness between his brows.
Logically speaking, he should have been ejected out of this place, but the reality was different from his previous cultivation. His primordial spirit had no intention of leaving this place at all.
"Could it be that because I've lost my physical body, my soul has nowhere to go, so I can continue to absorb the power of the stars here?"
"But … my flesh and blood have already evaporated. Even if I absorb the power of the stars, what can I refine with it?"
"If my body was still here, it wouldn't take more than a few years for my Ancient Star Body to reach rank 9 …"
One day later. Ning Qi woke up from his deep thoughts. He was a little uncertain about the current situation. First of all, he did not use the Body Strengthening Star Technique, but his Primordial Spirit was pulled here. Secondly, because he did not have a physical body, his Primordial Spirit had been stuck here.
If this continued, wouldn't he have to stay here for the rest of his life?
"If I don't return to the Hell Suppressing Palace, I won't be able to reform my body. Why don't I give it a try?"
With that thought in mind, Ning Qi looked deeply at the Star Giant. His Primordial Spirit slowly floated forward. He wanted to try to get close to the Star Giant and see if he could use it to leave this place!
…
In the outside world.
Waves of terrifying power of the stars quietly appeared on Ning Qi's white bones, constantly refining them.
The power of the stars first condensed on Ning Qi's right pinky finger. The golden bone on his pinky finger was spreading at a speed undetectable to the naked eye!
If Gongsun Wufo and Han Buwei hadn't left, they would have been able to tell that Ning Qi's bones were refining the golden body. By then, even if Han Buwei tried to stop them, Gongsun Wufo would have killed Ning Qi! A Heaven's Mandate Realm cultivator didn't go to the Immortal Palace after his death. Instead, he went to refine his Golden Body. No one would believe it if this news got out. Refining the Golden Body was something only cultivators at the Full Circle of the Rebirth State could come into contact with.
In order to truly refine the golden body, one would need to condense the Immortal Elixir and reach the Undead State to use the Immortal Substance unique to fifth-step cultivators to refine the golden body!
Ning Qi did not know that as he got closer and closer to the star giant, the speed at which the corpses in the outside world were being tempered was also increasing exponentially. From the beginning to the end, Ning Qi's primordial spirit had not been driven away and was still approaching the star giant!
A figure quietly appeared not far away.
"The stone tablet set up by Elder Lan is broken …"
Zhang Tao's eyes flickered with fear. He looked around and finally, his eyes fell on Ning Qi's bones.
"Minister Ning, why did you come …" Zhang Tao sighed softly, then went forward to collect Ning Qi's bones and went to Mount Unrepentant. He had come to collect Ning Qi's body after hearing the commotion. Although Ning Qi could reform his body in the Hell Suppressing Palace, there weren't many corpses left.
It worked, but Zhang Tao couldn't let Ning Qi's corpse be left in the wilderness. After all, Ning Qi had taken care of him for more than a decade, and he had even saved his life on the Creation Peak …
"After these experts die, there will still be strange phenomena. Minister Ning is only left with bones, but why do I still feel that the aura of this corpse is stronger than mine …"
Zhang Tao couldn't help but look down as he flew.
At the same time, the two Boundless Border cultivators also swept over with their Divine Senses. When they found that it was Zhang Tao, they immediately lost interest. However, they also found something special about Ning Qi's bones.
"This kid's Body Tempering Technique is indeed powerful. He hasn't reached the Undead State, but his pinky has already turned into a golden body?"
"It shouldn't be a golden body. It might be some other phenomenon."
"That's right."
The two looked at each other. It wasn't just the bones that were golden. Many techniques could also turn bones golden, but the golden body unique to the fifth step cultivators had to be tempered with the imperishable substance of the fifth step cultivator. At the Rebirth Realm, it could produce a trace of the imperishable substance.
However, the quantity was very small, and it couldn't be used to fight enemies. It was also not enough to temper the golden body. Only the disciples of the Great Emperors might be able to temper a pinky when they reached the Rebirth Realm.
Mount Unrepentant.
When the crowd saw Zhang Tao holding Ning Qi's corpse, they all stopped in their tracks. Their faces were filled with anger. They had already guessed who Zhang Tao was holding.
Zhang Zhilan and the other Heaven's Prides of the Immortal Palace heard the news and came over, staring at Ning Qi's corpse.
After Zhang Tao buried Ning Qi at the peak of Mount Unrepentant, Zhang Zhilan couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "Gongsun Wufo is too much. There's no such thing as fairness in the Heavenly Grandmother Sect!"
"Be careful with your words!"
Everyone was shocked.
