Chapter 272 Allies and Gu Techniques, Seven-Star Crisis Approaching
Feng Baobao walked over and gently took Jiang Mo's hand: "We'll face this together."
Wei Duoduo and Chen Duo nodded firmly.
Jiang Mo took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with golden light: "According to the Heavenly Gu Sect Master's memories, there are three more carriers of the Dark Bloodline scattered throughout the world."
"The alignment of the seven stars will occur in three days; we must find and purify all carriers of the dark bloodline before then."
"Otherwise, the Heavenly Gu Sect Master would have the opportunity to forcibly open a world passage using the power of the Seven Stars Alignment."
"Where is the next target?" Wei Duoduo asked.
Jiang Mo closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then opened his golden eyes: "Southeast Asia, an organization called the 'Black Serpent Cult,' whose leader also possesses dark blood."
"Shall we set off now?" Chen Duo asked.
Jiang Mo shook his head: "No, we need to make some preparations."
"This encounter tells us that the Heavenly Gu Sect Master's power is greater than we imagined."
"I need to cultivate a new Gu technique—Golden Gu Divine Might: Dimensional Seal—which can completely sever the connection between world passages."
"And..." Jiang Mo looked at the Sand Gu tribe members around him, "We need allies."
After the Poison Sand Saint was purified, the Sand Gu people knelt down before Jiang Mo, regarding him as a true god.
Jiang Mo stood on the high platform, his golden eyes sweeping over the crowd: "The Sand Gu Clan has worshipped the Gu God for generations, yet they have been deceived by evil forces for many years."
"Today I have not only purified your holy envoy, but also your sacred beast, the Poisonous Sand Scorpion, and released the Heavenly Gu Sect Master from his control."
"The day when the seven stars align is approaching, and the Heavenly Gu Sect Master will attempt to open a world portal and return to the mortal realm."
"I need your help to fight this disaster together."
"Those who wish to follow me, stay; those who do not, may leave."
As soon as the words were spoken, almost all the Sand Gu tribe members knelt down and shouted: "We are willing to follow the Gu God, even if it means going through fire and water!"
Jiang Mo nodded in satisfaction: "Very good. From this day forward, the Sand Gu Clan officially becomes part of the Gu God lineage, and I will personally guide your cultivation."
That night, Jiang Mo was in the Sand Gu Clan's sacred temple.
He taught the true Gu God techniques to the experts in the clan, thereby enhancing their strength.
"The way of the Gu God lies in balance," Jiang Mo explained.
"It's not about gaining power by harming living beings, but about coexisting with all things, controlling the Gu with the heart, and nourishing the heart with the Gu."
The Sand Gu Clan cultivators suddenly realized that their cultivation methods had been wrong all along.
After Jiang Mo finished teaching the basic Gu techniques, he found a quiet place.
He began practicing that new Gu technique—Golden Gu Divine Might: Dimensional Lockdown.
Sitting cross-legged, Jiang Mo formed hand seals and chanted ancient incantations.
The power of the Golden Gu within his body flowed slowly.
In the memories of the Gu God, this Gu technique was specifically designed to deal with beings that travel between worlds.
It can sever the energy connection of the world's passage and completely seal the spatial rift.
The cultivation process is extremely painful; each cycle feels like being pierced by a thousand knives.
But Jiang Mo gritted his teeth and persevered, golden sweat dripping continuously from his forehead.
Three hours later, the last ray of golden light pierced through his body.
Jiang Mo finally let out a long sigh of relief and opened his eyes.
"Success." A smile appeared on Jiang Mo's lips. "With this Gu technique, even if the Seven Stars Alignment is complete..."
"I am also confident that I can seal off the passage to the Heavenly Gu Domain."
"Jiang Mo!" Feng Baobao pushed open the door and entered, her face showing some anxiety.
"Urgent news came from the company: the observatory has observed that the alignment of the seven planets is happening faster than expected!"
"What?" Jiang Mo suddenly stood up. "How early?"
"It was originally expected that the beads would not be fully aligned for another three days."
But the latest observations suggest that the initial alignment may begin tomorrow, and the complete alignment may occur the day after!
Jiang Mo frowned: "Just as I thought, the Heavenly Gu Sect Master's power is interfering with the movement of the stars."
"What do we do now? There's no time to find all the carriers of the Dark Bloodline one by one," Feng Baobao said worriedly.
Jiang Mo pondered for a moment: "Since that's the case, let's change our strategy."
"No longer purifying the carriers of dark bloodlines one by one."
"Instead, we will directly search for the locations of world passages that may appear when the seven stars align, and set up a sealing array in advance."
"This way, even if the Heavenly Gu Sect Master forcibly opens the passage, he will be immediately sealed by us."
"How do we determine the location of the passage?"
Jiang Mo took out an ancient parchment scroll from his robes: "This was found on the body of the Poison Sand Saint Envoy."
"It records several possible locations where world passages might appear when the seven stars align."
Feng Baobao carefully examined the parchment scroll, which marked five locations.
"So many places? We don't have enough manpower!" Feng Baobao said worriedly.
Jiang Mo nodded: "That's true, so we need more help."
"Besides the Sand Gu tribe, I've contacted the company and asked them to send special forces teams to several other locations."
"At the same time, I will provide each special operations team with a simple sealing technique."
"Although it's not as powerful as my Golden Gu Divine Might - Dimensional Sealing, it should be enough to deal with the initial spatial rifts."
Feng Baobao suddenly realized: "Great idea! But where should we go ourselves?"
Jiang Mo's gaze was firm: "Black Snake Mountain in Southeast Asia."
"According to the Heavenly Gu Sect Master's memories, that place contains the strongest carrier of dark bloodlines and is also the most likely location to become the main passage."
"I've made all the arrangements. We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning, and the Sand Gu Clan's elite troops will accompany us."
"What about Wei Duoduo and Chen Duo?"
"They're already preparing. Wei Duoduo has contacted the company, while Chen Duo is training young experts from the Sand Gu clan, teaching them the primitive Gu techniques she's mastered."
Feng Baobao nodded, then suddenly asked, "Jiang Mo, what if... what if we fail?"
Jiang Mo's expression was grave: "If the Heavenly Gu Sect Master successfully returns, the entire world will be plunged into darkness."
"He will use his dark bloodline to control more and more people."
"Ultimately, a dark empire based on Gu magic will be established."
"At that time, humanity will become a vessel for cultivating Gu worms, causing widespread suffering and changing the very fabric of the world."
Feng Baobao shuddered: "That's terrifying..."
Jiang Mo grasped her hand: "Therefore, we absolutely cannot fail."
The next morning, Jiang Mo and his group rode the Poison Sand King Scorpion and left the Poison Sand Valley.
The Sand Gu Clan sent fifty elite warriors to accompany them.
Everyone mastered the basic Gu God techniques taught by Jiang Mo, greatly increasing their combat power.
After leaving the Poison Sand Valley, Jiang Mo contacted the company.
A large transport plane was already waiting at a nearby temporary airport.
After storing the Poisonous Sand Scorpion in the Golden Gu Space, the group boarded a plane and flew directly to Southeast Asia.
"Black Snake Mountain is located deep in the primeval forests of Southeast Asia, a place that is rainy all year round and is one of the wettest places in the world," Wei Duoduo introduced the destination to everyone.
