Just when Hayashikawa was examining these corpses with knitted brows, Shangguan Dieche transmitted sound to Hayashikawa through Akatsuki's storage ring.
"Martial Ancestor, I found a very big mountain peak here … no, it should be a rock, do you want to come over and take a look?" Shangguan Dieche's voice was somewhat hurried. Clearly, this rock shouldn't be simple.
"Rock?" Hayashikawa's brows slightly wrinkled.
"Well, it should be a rock, because this entire mountain peak is made of rock, moreover, it seems to be a whole!" Shangguan Dieche explained.
"Okay, I'll come over right away!" Hayashikawa muttered to himself for a moment, then said.
But he didn't immediately take action, rather picked up a rock on the ground, and engraved Flying Thunder God Technique on it.
He did this for the convenience of his actions. If the situation over there was different from what he expected, then he could use Flying Thunder God Technique to come back here.
"Flying Thunder God Technique!"
After everything was done, Hayashikawa made a hand seal and used Flying Thunder God Technique. Space fluctuation flashed, and Hayashikawa's body directly disappeared from the ground. When he reappeared, he was already beside Shangguan Dieche.
And at this moment, Hayashikawa's gaze was instantly attracted by a huge mountain peak towering into the clouds in the distance. Although it was called a mountain peak, but as Shangguan Dieche had described, it was a huge rock without any trees. It was bare, and presented a dark luster. On the rock, there was a ghostly radiance flickering. It was very similar to the radiance emitted by the entire 9th floor of Floating Spirit Shrine, but it was much brighter and purer.
And the instant he saw this mountain peak, Hayashikawa's complexion changed greatly, as if he was struck by lightning. Even Shangguan Dieche standing beside him was taken aback, and looked at Hayashikawa in disbelief.
"Nature attributed Chakra … this is the source of Chakra …"
Hayashikawa said in shock. The instant he arrived here, he sensed the surging Nature attributed Chakra. That frightening aura made Hayashikawa almost unable to breathe.
"Martial Ancestor, you …" Shangguan Dieche looked at the sinister 'Hui', and was somewhat at a loss.
"I'm fine! How do you feel facing this rock? "Hayashikawa suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and asked Shangguan Dieche.
"It's very oppressive, very heavy, as if there's a strange pressure in the surroundings, but I can't sense anything out of the ordinary, only a very dangerous feeling!" Shangguan Dieche said truthfully.
People in the Cultivation World couldn't sense Chakra, so they could only sense danger instinctively. They couldn't sense the presence of Chakra like Hayashikawa, and this kind of energy was completely unknown to them.
"Don't go there first, I'll think of a way to find Ni Huanzhi and the rest first!" Hayashikawa said with a solemn expression.
Since he had already found the source of Chakra, there was no need for him to wander around. The most important thing now was to find the others, otherwise, it would be easy for problems to arise. The situation on the ninth floor was really too strange.
Without wasting any more time, Hayashikawa once again used the Flying Thunder God Technique, and quickly brought Chen Xiao, Ni Huanzhi, and Huang Tong to Shangguan Dieche's side. Chen Xiao and Huang Tong almost fought with Hayashikawa, because Hayashikawa's space magic was really too frightening. He instantly appeared beside them, and there was no time for them to react.
"You … when did you put a space mark on us?" Chen Xiao asked in horror after coming back to his senses.
"A long time ago!" Hayashikawa said simply. Since they couldn't remove the Flying Thunder God Technique, he didn't have anything to hide.
"Is this the place where the Enlightenment Ancient Tree used to grow? It's really amazing … "
Unlike the others, Ni Huanzhi was much calmer about the Flying Thunder God Technique. The moment he teleported over, his eyes were fixed on the huge rocky mountain in the distance.
"The place where the Enlightenment Ancient Tree grew? What do you mean? "Shangguan Dieche asked with a frown.
"If I'm not wrong, the Enlightenment Ancient Tree grew on this rocky mountain … To be more precise, its roots should be wrapped around the entire mountain …" Ni Huanzhi explained softly.
"You know quite a lot …" Everyone looked at Ni Huanzhi with a somewhat strange gaze.
"At this point, there's no need for you to hide it, right? Who are you?" Hayashikawa asked solemnly as he looked at Ni Huanzhi. Although he trusted Ni Huanzhi, at this final juncture, he had to figure out this person's identity.
Ni Huanzhi was silent for a moment, then said, "The Floating Spirit Shrine controls the entire Floating Spirit Region, and there are five elders at the Void Refining stage living in the Elder Altar of the Floating Spirit Shrine. They are the guardians of the Floating Spirit Region, and also the guardians of the Floating Spirit Shrine. Each of them specialises in one of the five elements. What you see now is a total of four elders: metal, wood, water, and earth. I am the last elder, Elder Spiritual Fire!"
"You're Elder Spiritual Fire? How is that possible … Didn't he pass away many years ago? Could it be that you're a reincarnator? "Shangguan Dieche said in disbelief.
"No, I'm not a reincarnator. You can call it reincarnation!" Ni Huanzhi said calmly.
"Reincarnation and reincarnation? What's the difference? "Hayashikawa asked with a frown.
"I don't think I need to explain what a reincarnator is. As for reincarnation, it's something unique to our Floating Spirit Shrine. The five of us have been the same since the first generation. After we die, we'll reincarnate in the Floating Spirit Region. When the conditions are right, we'll regain our memories and become the five elders of the new generation! In a sense, we're immortal, but the price is that we'll be bound to the Elder Altar forever, unable to leave! "Ni Huanzhi said.
"That can't be right. Elder Spiritual Fire has passed away hundreds of years ago. How could you be his reincarnation?" Chen Xiao asked with a frown.
"Because we can become anyone when we reincarnate. As long as we don't awaken after reincarnation, we can die again. Accidents, murders, illnesses — all of these are possible. In fact, I've already died dozens of times over the past hundreds of years. If it wasn't for Blue Dragon saving me this time, I'd probably have reincarnated again!" Ni Huanzhi said.
After hearing Ni Huanzhi's explanation, everyone couldn't help but sigh. This seemingly eternal reincarnation was more like a cage that bound her to the Elder's Altar forever. She couldn't even die. If this situation continued, it wouldn't be a blessing anymore. It would be an endless torture.
"This kind of reincarnation … I'd rather not …" Hayashikawa said softly. Reincarnating in the Wood Manor had made Hayashikawa understand that it wasn't a good thing to have too many fetters. He didn't dare to imagine what kind of end that kind of endless reincarnation would bring. Perhaps, he'd go crazy!
