Chapter 244 The Seal in Decline
"Once the Golden Blood Gu is formed, it will become the link between the Gu God and the Heavenly Gu Body, allowing their powers to influence each other."
"This impact has both positive and negative aspects."
"On the positive side, the Golden Blood Gu allows the Heavenly Gu Body to better control its power;"
"On the downside, if not handled properly, the Golden Blood Gu could also become a medium for the Gu God to control the Heavenly Gu Body."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mo frowned: "So, Feng Baobao might be controlled by the Gu God?"
Jin Qiankun nodded: "That's how it is in theory."
"But as long as we take good protective measures and control the formation process of the Golden Blood Gu, we can minimize this risk."
After listening, Feng Baobao fell into deep thought.
This concerns her own safety, and whether a potential disaster can be prevented.
“I need time to think it over,” Feng Baobao finally said. “This is not a decision that can be made hastily.”
Jin Qiankun expressed his understanding: "Of course, you have plenty of time to consider it."
"However, as the seal continues to weaken, the day when the Gu God awakens is drawing near."
"I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible."
Jiang Mo glanced at the Gu God's soul inside the crystal coffin, then at Feng Baobao: "Whatever decision you make, I will support you and do everything in my power to protect your safety."
Feng Baobao glanced at Jiang Mo gratefully and nodded slightly.
"Alright, that's all for today."
Jin Qiankun said, "You all need to rest. We'll continue discussing the specific plan tomorrow."
With that, he led Jiang Mo and Feng Baobao out of the underground space and back to the surface.
Back in their guest room at Tongtianling, Jiang Mo and Feng Baobao each pondered the information they had gathered that day.
The return of the Gu God, the weakening of the seal, and the risks of the Golden Blood Gu—each of these is enough to give one pause for thought.
As night deepened, Jiang Mo stood by the window, gazing at the distant starry sky.
The nights at Tongtianling are unusually quiet, with only the occasional chirping of insects breaking the silence.
Unbeknownst to Jiang Mo, a figure appeared behind him.
"Can you sense the aura of the Gu God's soul?" the figure asked softly.
Jiang Mo didn't turn around, and replied calmly, "What brings you here so late, Sect Leader Jin?"
Jin Qiankun walked to Jiang Mo's side and gazed into the distance with him: "I just want to confirm one thing."
"What's up?"
"Are you really the successor of the Gu God?" Jin Qiankun looked directly into Jiang Mo's eyes, his tone carrying a hint of inquiry.
Jiang Mo turned to look at Jin Qiankun, his gaze calm and profound: "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Jin Qiankun didn't answer directly, but continued to ask, "Do you know what the true power of the Gu God is?"
Jiang Mo was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Controlling all poisons and Gu worms, isn't that common knowledge?"
Jin Qiankun gently shook his head: "That's just superficial power."
"The true power of the Gu God is to influence the life and death of all things in the world through poison and Gu."
"In ancient times, the Gu God was known as the 'God of Death,' and was in charge of the cycle of life."
"And as the successor of the Gu God, you should be able to sense the existence of this power."
Jiang Mo's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure: "I sensed something, but it wasn't very clear."
"Perhaps it will become clearer as my cultivation deepens."
Jin Qiankun gave Jiang Mo a deep look, as if trying to see through his heart: "I hope so."
"Because in the upcoming changes, the role of the successor of the Gu God is crucial."
"If you truly are the successor of the Gu God, then your collaboration with Feng Baobao will determine how the Gu God returns."
After saying that, Jin Qiankun turned and left, leaving Jiang Mo standing alone by the window, lost in thought.
After Jin Qiankun left, a complex light flashed in Jiang Mo's eyes.
He extended his right hand, and a golden light slowly emerged in his palm, remarkably similar to the soul of the Gu God in the crystal coffin.
"The successor of the Gu God..." Jiang Mo murmured.
Golden light flowed slowly in Jiang Mo's palm.
Like the ever-changing soul of the Gu God within the crystal coffin.
Sometimes it resembles a human, sometimes a beast, and sometimes it transforms into countless tiny particles.
Jiang Mo stared intently at the golden light in his palm, his eyes deep.
"A successor of the Gu God?" Jiang Mo murmured to himself, "I'm afraid things aren't that simple."
A moment later, he slowly clenched his fist, and the golden light disappeared.
He turned and walked towards the bed where he was resting.
He needs to organize his thoughts and prepare for the upcoming changes.
However, shortly after he lay down, there was a soft knock on the door.
"Jiang Mo? Are you asleep?" It was Feng Baobao's voice.
Jiang Mo got up and opened the door.
Feng Baobao stood outside the door, her face pale, clearly preoccupied.
"Is there a problem?" Jiang Mo stepped aside to let Feng Baobao into the room.
After entering, Feng Baobao hesitated for a moment before speaking: "I want to know, if I agree to use my blood to repair the seal, what will happen to me?"
Jiang Mo pondered for a moment: "The Golden Blood Gu that Jin Qiankun mentioned is indeed an unknown variable."
"But based on my understanding of Gu, this connection should be bidirectional."
"In other words, the Gu God might influence you, but you can also influence the Gu God."
"If the Gu God really awakens, can I control it?" A hint of worry flashed in Feng Baobao's eyes.
Jiang Mo looked directly into Feng Baobao's eyes: "It depends on how strong your will is."
"The Heavenly Gu Body is a special existence, possessing a natural connection with the Gu God."
"If you can establish this connection, you might be able to guide the Gu God back peacefully. But if you are controlled by the Gu God..."
Jiang Mo didn't finish speaking, but Feng Baobao already understood the seriousness of the consequences.
“What do you think I should do?” Feng Baobao asked.
Jiang Mo shook his head: "This decision can only be made by you."
"But whatever you choose, I will do everything in my power to protect you."
Feng Baobao nodded, the confusion in her eyes lessening slightly: "Thank you, Jiang Mo."
"I need to think about it carefully."
After saying that, she turned and left the room.
Jiang Mo went to the window again, gazing into the distance.
The nights in the Tongtian Mountains were exceptionally quiet, with dazzling starlight, but he knew that beneath this calm surface, undercurrents were surging.
The return of the God of Gu will change the landscape of this world.
......
The next morning, Jiang Mo got up early.
I circulated my Qi in the training grounds of Tongtianling, feeling the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth here.
As the furnace spun, his body began to change.
This attracted the attention of several disciples from Tongtianling in the distance, who stopped to watch, their eyes filled with amazement.
“That’s…golden qi?” a disciple asked in a low voice.
"It is said that only a very few top experts can condense Qi into gold."
Another disciple replied, his eyes filled with reverence, "It seems that this Senior Jiang's cultivation is indeed unfathomable."
Just then, Jin Qiankun's voice came from afar: "Jiang Mo, Feng Baobao, please come to the main hall for a talk."
