Chapter 1996 – A Wily Hare Has Three Holes To Its Burrow
As the divine spirit of the organs of the world was a living thing, Lu Yun’s power of reincarnation was ineffective against it. Not only that, but the inexhaustible powers of wind, thunder, fire, and water attacked him so furiously that he had no effort to spare for anything else. He could only watch helplessly as the divine spirit rushed into his body with its four replicas.
“But if you want to take possession of me…” he sneered inwardly. With the Tome of Life and Death protecting his soul, even a real god could do nothing to him, to say nothing of a divine spirit derived from something else.
The void around him exploded when the divine spirit and its replicas rushed into his body. Five figures appeared with startling abruptness and hauled the divine spirit out of Lu Yun’s body. He stared dumbly at the sudden appearance of five familiar figures, unable to do anything but gape at them.
“…you guys?!” he yelled.
“But of course,” smirked the Art Saint. “Although the old guy permitted us to become real living beings, we were once his senses, after all. We’re still missing a little something as independent entities. These things are the perfect nutrients.”

The Art Saint, Zither Saint, Gorb Demon, Fairy of a Hundred Flowers, and Wayfarer were all present. They were Fuxi’s five senses and had been reborn in the sea of Hell Flowers after they resolved the curse imbued in the Ascension Pool. They’d once obstructed Lu Yun’s progress \ in the Hell Tomb, preventing his death.
He hadn’t seen them again after that. Who would’ve thought that their next encounter would be bailing him out of trouble again??
Even though the divine spirit couldn’t have seized his body, that would also mean he didn’t have effort to spare for the new replica he’d created to house the organs of the world. All of his previous efforts would go up in smoke.
Thank goodness the five had arrived.
……
“Fuxi!!” Shu Yan shrieked when he saw the five subdue the divine spirit of the organs of the world. The divine spirit was very useful to him! Once it took possession of Lu Yun and became the young man, it would be able to complete a lot of tasks for him.
Occupy the World of Immortals, for instance.
But he’d just seen the Gorb Demon swallow the primary body with one gulp and extinguish the divine spirit’s consciousness. He was the weakest among the five senses, but also the only one who could devour and digest the divine spirit’s true spirit.
Shu Yan went mad.
Wind, thunder, fire, and water surged around them and collected into a bigger combat art than before, blasting at Lu Yun’s group in a strike of unquestionable annihilation.
Wayfarer smoothly waved a painting scroll into existence. It streaked into a white chain that protected the group—including Daoist Ingress.
The Scroll of Shepherding Immortals!
The painting that Fuxi had created with God’s core essence!
It was supposed to be with the little fox, but here it was. And it wasn’t until this moment that Lu Yun witnessed its true might. When the massive combat art touched the white radiance emanating from the painting, it turned into divine spirits!
Indeed, spontaneous transformations to divine spirit!
Real living beings sprang out of either the combat art or the four powers! This was the power of creation—divine spirits were life too!
When the Scroll of Shepherding Immortals was divided into three, the Panorama of Clarity, Portrait of Emptiness, and Profile of Harmony illustrated God’s core essence. When the three were combined, they possessed God’s strength of creation.
The divine spirits being created possessed sentience and intelligence, so they struggled free of the formation’s control the moment they appeared and fled. If they continued to remain where they were, the formation would crush their newfound life and incorporate them back into the formation as the elements of wind, thunder, fire, and water.
Living beings yearned for freedom and feared death. These newly born divine spirits were no exception.
“So it is that…” Shu Yan went pale.
Wind, thunder, fire, and water were the purest power of origin in existence, which also made them the easiest to transform into divine spirits. Their gods were always the most numerous, no matter the era. They were also the most plentiful and strongest divine spirits, which further gave rise to the most prosperous divine race of that time.
The Scroll of Shepherding Immortals immediately suppressed Shu Yan’s formation. Lu Yun advanced on his enemy with his own chaos dirt puppet, rapidly debating what the painting was doing here, why God and Fuxi had traveled to the future from the great wilderness, and why they’d drawn the painting.
All of his questions seemed to find an answer in this moment. They had done all that for this precise engagement!
Traveling to the future, evading the karmic repercussions of that time, pulling the wool over everyone’s eyes, ensuring that the Scroll of Shepherding Immortals would have the room to appear…
Daoist Ingress made his counterattack at this second as well. The palace of sword light appeared with a flourish of his sword and blasted in all directions.
When Lu Yun’s puppet reached its destination, it timed a punch alongside the palace of light. Terrifying power churned forth with domineering momentum, expelling all of the chaos dirt around them and connecting the puppet to Shu Yan.
“Shu Yan, have you fully considered my proposal yet?” a gentle voice traveled into the man’s ears. “If you agree to my proposal and ally with me, I will rescue you from your dire straits.”
“The corpse god?“ Shu Yan sneered. “Piss off.”
Her voice disappeared and showed no intention of returning. The palace of light and the puppet’s punch landed on him at the same time. Shu Yan’s body was obliterated from existence and his true spirit vanished without a trace.
Everything that was him was erased.
“He was a replica,” Lu Yun pronounced with an unpleasant expression. He’d discovered it wasn’t Shu Yan’s primary body the moment they killed him. It wasn’t even the Miao that he’d taken possession of. It was just an insignificant replica.
This replica didn’t even contain much strength. Its only purpose was to activate the great formation.
With the replica’s death, calm returned to the area.
Wayfarer waved the Scroll of Shepherding Immortals back into his hand. He and his brethren had fully incorporated the replicas of the organs of the world into themselves. They were all severely lacking in certain ways—Wayfarer only possessed touch and the Zither Saint only hearing. Gorb Demon only had taste, the Art Saint only sight, and the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers could only smell.
After assimilating the divine spirit of the organs, they could sense a hint of the other senses growing in them.
“A wily hare has three holes to its burrow. There’s more than one set of organs. Let’s go search elsewhere!” Wayfarer exclaimed.
