The aura darkened the sky of the world outside. Before, it had been dusky, but now, it became deep and pitch black. The rainwater was also affected, as a resonance came into being. Looking out, it was possible to see that every raindrop that existed in the world seemed to now have life force, and was bowing in obeisance to the immortal’s corpse.

Burial mounds rumbled and collapsed as innumerable corpses climbed out into the open. In life, they had been warriors, but they had long been waiting in death for a master to command them. Now it seemed that their master had returned and called out to them. As a result, they were also coming back. Howls and roars filled heaven and earth.

The reason for it all was that, deep in that crypt, the immortal’s corpse was waking up.

All of the floating dao lineaments seemed to cheer in exultation and shoot toward the immortal’s corpse. Nothing stopped them. Nothing slowed them down. The instant they came near, the immortal’s corpse pulled them inside. As the authority returned and the dao lineaments floated over, a will of awakening surged.

Wild colors flashed in heaven and earth. The wind screamed dramatically. And all the legacy seals became like a raging sea flowing back to the immortal’s corpse.
