The instant the thought arose in his mind, the image of that figure in black martial attire, throwing his head back and crying out in grief, was reflected in his eyes. Worldly Freedom King Buddha immediately sensed that something was wrong again.
No matter how the Other Shore Great Figure who had sent out the Huang Liang Pillow had schemed, anything involving Gu Xiaosang's corpse could not bypass the one from Jade Void Palace!
He had ascended to the Other Shore, traced back through time, and unified the past. The Mad Saber before him, raging with grief until it pierced the heavens, was therefore equivalent to his true self—an authentic Other Shore existence, with no time when he had been weak. How could someone plotting to seize Gu Xiaosang's corpse from his arms fail to alarm him? Even his own peeping had probably been detected!
At this thought, Worldly Freedom King Buddha began to retreat. He no longer dared to watch from the sidelines, lest he anger some Other Shore existence and end up reduced to ashes.
Just as he was about to circulate his accumulated power over time to resist the impact of the turbulence upon his return, he suddenly saw that heroic, masculine figure carrying Gu Xiaosang's corpse horizontally in his arms, walking step by step toward the great river. He did not tread upon the waves, as though he intended to sink to the riverbed.
At that moment, Ignorance Karma Fire suddenly surged from within Gu Xiaosang's corpse. It swayed and burned, impossible to extinguish, resembling both a curse and a backlash. The white-robed figure became hazy, like a dream or an illusion. Without witnessing it personally, and without being a Great Divine Ability User, no one could have noticed that she was slowly vanishing.
