Chapter 1013: Grey Memory


    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios


    This grand tribtion earth copse waspletely unreasonable!


    Not only were the Gu Immortals trapped in the ground, their thoughts were also interrupted.


    Without thoughts to mobilize their Gu worms, what methods could Gu Immortals use?


    Unless they could use wisdom path methods to resist it.


    But the condition for that was, the wisdom path method had to be set up in advance. Otherwise, once


    they fell into earth copse, even if the Gu Immortal had a wisdom path method to use, they could not


    unleash it.


    Taking action in advance was the only way.


    Without the initiative, one was doomed.


    This showed the power of the grand tribtion, one could just imagine the might of the myriad


    tribtion.


    “Damn it!!” Ying Wu Xie struggled continuously, there were few results from his actions, he sank deeper


    and deeper as he screamed.


    “Stop struggling, stop thinking. It will make our situation worse, we cannot deal with this at the


    moment.” Immortal zombie Bo Qing who was beside him said in a calm tone.


    Or strictly speaking, Mo Yao’s remnant soul was very calm.


    She was experienced.


    When she was alive, she helped her lover Bo Qing with his tribtion, the myriad tribtion that she


    had seen before was more terrifying than this!


    Comparatively, the grand tribtion earth copse was harmless and gentle.


    “We can only hope that our main body saves us.” Ying Wu Xie sighed, looking at Spectral Soul.


    Only to see that Spectral Soul was also sinking, half of his huge legs were already below the surface of


    the ground. Not just that, his left leg’s lower portion was tightly sewed onto the ground.


    This was the result of an earlier attack by the Immortal Gu House Embroidered Tower.


    Even though Spectral Soul was powerful and mighty, and had used his full efforts, he could not control


    the entire situation.


    At this moment, out of his six eyes, two were staring at Heaven Overseeing Tower, preventing it from


    moving, the other four were staring at the sky.


    At the top of the sky, grey colored clouds were growing in thickness, they descended slowly.


    The second myriad tribtion had started.


    But it was different from the first, wind lightning prison, that was extremely fast beyond one’s reaction


    speed, in an instant, the wind and lightning would approach a person and attack them.


    This myriad tribtion however, was very slow.


    It was so slow that anyone who was undergoing the tribtion could retaliate in many ways.


    But Spectral Soul did not move.


    He stood quietly, like a solemn mountain.


    “Did our main body get hit already?” Ying Wu Xie shouted, looking extremely anxious: “This is such a


    good chance, you have to retaliate!!”


    But until the grey cloudpletely shrouded Spectral Soul, he did not move, he stared at Heaven


    Overseeing Tower, controlling it firmly.


    Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals were troubled.


    They used the phantom method to make Heaven Overseeing Tower evade Spectral Soul’s attacks. But


    to think that Spectral Soul’s phantom path attainment level was beyond expectations, he was certainly


    a great grandmaster.


    Heaven Overseeing Tower’s phantom tactic was taken advantage of by Spectral Soul, bing


    unable to return to its normal form. Then how could it fight or do anything in that state?


    “The myriad tribtion ising!” Ying Wu Xie gritted his teeth, looking at the grey cloud descend


    slowly.


    Immortal zombie Bo Qing squinted, his muscles were tense.


    The grand tribtion earth copse was enough to make them defenseless and helpless, now that the


    myriad tribtion had descended, was it the end for Bo Qing and Ying Wu Xie?


    The grey cloud descended, but it caused no harm.


    “What is going on? Is this a harmless myriad tribtion?!” Ying Wu Xie was nervous, seeing that there


    was no disturbance, he touched his body all over as he cried out in suspicion.


    Bo Qing did not answer him.


    Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals recognized this myriad tribtion, but Ying Wu Xie was unable to


    obtain the answer.


    “Is this grey memory?” The Heavenly Court Gu Immortal who recognized it cried out.


    “What is grey memory?”


    The Heavenly Court Gu Immortal recalled: “When I was young, I had once obtained the inheritance of a


    rank eight Gu Immortal. In the past, this rank eight Gu Immortal failed to pass a myriad tribtion, grey


    memory. During his final moments, he left behind his inheritance. This myriad tribtion is harmless to


    the body, but it draws out the person’s deepest memories. These memories were either those which


    had caused huge pain to the Gu Immortal’s mind, or were a trauma in their life.”


    “Don’t look down on this myriad tribtion. That rank eight senior did not evenst fifteen minutes


    under this myriad tribtion, he lost all his motivation and became dejected without any fighting spirit


    left in him, he lost all interest in life.”


    “The saying goes, you are your worst enemy. Looking at Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, he was


    invincible in the world, then wasn’t his biggest enemy himself? For everyone in the world, even if we


    be a rank nine venerable, we will have a period of time when we were weak. We cultivate step by


    step, bing stronger along the way. Spectral Soul Demon Venerable ughtered people over the


    world, he had an immense murderous nature, people guessed that he might have suffered some


    trauma when he was young.”


    “Who does not have any painful memories in the deepest part of their mind? Who does not have any


    shameful memories that they cannot express? Who has never made any decision that went against


    their nature? Along the way, who has never made a mistake? Amazing, simply amazing! This myriad


    tribtion is incredible! Perhaps even Spectral Soul is going to falter here.”


    Myriad tribtion — Grey Memory.


    Because he recognized this myriad tribtion, Spectral Soul did not move.


    He knew that no attacks could resolve this tribtion. Only by entering it and facing his past, all the


    shame, trauma, humiliation and anger, could he pass this tribtion.


    The grey clouds coiling around his body suddenly had bright lights, there was even sound emitting from


    them.


    What was presented in front of the immortals was a scene from Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s


    childhood.


    “Kill her! Kill her! Kill her!”


    A band of Gu Masters surrounded a family of three, their eyes were reddened as they shouted


    ruthlessly.


    “Father! You cannot kill mother!!” A child protected his heavily injured mother, yelling with all his energy.


    “Hmph, all demonic path members should be executed! We of the righteous path have to uphold justice


    and y members of the demonic path!! Why can’t we kill her? Not only can we kill her, we must kill


    her. Only by killing her can our n’s humiliation be purged!!” The old Gu Master who was leading the


    group, said with a righteous tone, he shouted angrily, he was the grandfather of the boy, the leader of


    the n.


    The n leader’s words received a warm cheer from all of the n elders and elite Gu Masters.


    They raised their arms and shouted.


    “Kill!” Kill! “Kill!”


    “Kill!” Kill! “Kill!”


    Whoosh.


    With a soft sound, fresh blood spewed out.


    The boy quickly turned around, at the next moment, his eyes opened wide, as his pupils shrunk to pin


    size.


    He saw his father had moved in front of him, his face was red and he was gritting his teeth, there were


    tears in his eyes as he suppressed his intense emotions. The dagger that he was holding had already


    stabbed deeply into the heart of his beloved wife.


    The boy opened his mouth and wanted to scream.


    But he did not make any sound.


    From that day onwards, he became very quiet.


    Evidently, this boy was Spectral Soul Demon Venerable when he was a child.


    Under the influence of grey memory, his childhood trauma was no longer hidden, it was disyed in


    front of everyone.


    The grey fog moved, as another scene appeared.


    Several years had passed.


    The young boy had grown slightly, he was standing in front of his grandfather respectfully.


    His grandfather, who was the n leader, drank a sip of tea, asking casually: “I let you read about the


    history of our n, what insight have you gained? Come, tell grandfather.”


    “Grandfather.” The boy first greeted, before saying: “I have had many gains thesest few days, I have


    learned much.”


    “Oh? Tell me.” The old man asked in curiosity.


    “Looking at history, I realized that there is one universalw in this world, that is — to kill.” The boy said


    calmly.


    “Kill?” The old man frowned, he replied in a grim tone: “Exin it to me.”


    “Yes.” The boy continued: “When we are hungry and need food for our bellies, we kill prey. When we


    have enemies, we kill our enemies and eliminate the threat. When the world is peaceful, the ruler will


    kill his meritorious subjects to gain authority and control…” The boy said slowly, he did not notice that


    the old man’s frown was getting deeper.


    The boy continued: “Throughout history, it is a case of you killing me, and me killing you. What is a


    hero? They are someone who has killed the most enemies. What is a loser? They are someone who


    could not kill their opponent and got killed instead.”


    “Actually, even though kill is a word, it has very deep meaning behind it. How to kill, should one use Gu


    worms and do it themselves, or hire other Gu Masters to aplish the deed? Sometimes, we cannot


    kill outright, because that would attract trouble, so we choose to assassinate. There are many forms of


    assassination, for example…”


    “Enough!” The old man bellowed, in his anger, he smashed the cup on the ground.


    The fragments shot past the boy’s face as a wound was created, blood flowed slowly.


    The old man stood up, pointing at the boy, shouting in anger: “I let you study and read, it is for you to


    admire the achievements of our n’s ancestors, and learn about the glorious history of our n. I


    want you to learn about courtesy and integrity, I want you to understand the glory of the righteous path.


    And you actually learned about killing? What sort of twisted logic is this? You, you, you, you are


    confined for a month, stay in the house and reflect upon your mistake!!”


    “Yes, grandfather.” The boy replied, he spoke softly, but there was a stubborn light in his eyes.


    The grey fog moved, as the scene changed again.


    Several yearster, the boy was already a rank one Gu Master.


    “Hehehe, I finally refined hidden aura Gu today, I will give grandfather a shock by hiding in the study


    room!” The youngster sneaked into the room.


    “Eh? No, I am only a rank one Gu Master, while grandfather is rank four. It is very easy for him to find


    me. I should hide behind the secret door, in the hidden tunnel, and jump out to scare grandfatherter.”


    The youngster changed his mind, he opened the secret door and hid behind it.


    Not long after, he heard amotion.


    He did not dare to open the secret door, he could only listen to the voices.


    Two people walked into the study room.

    His grandfather walked with heavy and hurried steps, he was furious.


    “This traitorous son! He really wants to rebel? He wants to harm his father?!” The old n leader was


    enraged, he mmed the table and caused a huge impact.


    “n leader, the evidence is conclusive. News that you have obtained an eighty year lifespan Gu has


    already spread out. It is confirmed that young n leader wants to harm you.”


    A hoarse voice could be heard.


    The youngster could recognize instantly that this was a certain n elder, the personal aide of the n


    leader.


    “Hmph! This traitorous son, he wants to seize my authority, how can that be possible?!” The n leader


    shouted.


    “n leader, there are many higher ups supporting young n leader.” The hoarse voice said again.


    There was a brief silence.


    The youngster’s grandfather’s voice said solemnly: “My son’s influence is not to be underestimated. If


    we suppress him openly, not only will our reputation in the righteous path be damaged, there will be


    internal strife that would weaken the n. Hmm… go and prepare, we will strike first and find a chance


    to assassinate him. Once he is dead, as long as we kill this traitorous son, the other n elders will


    have no choice but to give up.”


    “n leader is wise!”


    Behind the secret door, in the hidden tunnel, the youngster covered his mouth, his entire body was


    shivering intensely.
