So far, Lin Wu had managed to link up Tian Guisha's story with the information that he had obtained from the Spirit of the Long Clan.
The system was also filling in so of the gaps, where it could and making a new tiline for the entire world. After, all this was all data before the guardian beasts had ever awakened.
This could be easily considered as lost history.
"Yes. The four guardian beasts." Tian Guisha nodded.
"So you know there are four and not three like right now." Lin Wu asked. "By any chance did you have sothing to do with it all?"
"No… while I did covet the beacons, I never got close to it. And neither did I have anything to do with the fourth beast never awakening. As far as I know, a man nad Skull god was the one who interfered in it.
When I was still searching for the old tombs, I had a few interactions with his subordinates. They were also the ones who sold information sotis.
While I knew that he was interested in those beacons too, I didn't know that he actually wanted to destroy them." Tian Guisha answered.
Lin Wu let the system observe the man for lies, but found none even now.
"So how is it that you were pronounced dead?" Lin Wu asked.
"Well, I did die… but I managed to revive." Tian Guisha replied. "You see, in my travels I found an inheritance that belonged to Shadow Calamity. It seed to have co from the sa place the Skull God was from.
I don't know how it ended up here, but I found it in the form of an old book. It described a technique that could allow to tamorphose my body. But there were a lot of missing parts to it, so I never used it back then.
My travels left a lot of traces, which my clan finally discovered. My own grandfather set out to find and kill , which he eventually did." Tian Guisha said, his one eye red.
"But you survived?" Lin Wu said in acknowledgnt.
"The sa technique which I didn't want to use before saved . My body had been destroyed by my grandfather and only my Nascent soul had managed to escape. I knew if I continued to stay in the form of a Nascent soul, I won't survive.
And finding a new body was impossible to since the bloodline restriction carried over to my soul as well. After all, the clan wouldn't leave the loophole of soone switching out their Nascent souls into new bodies and then cultivating to immorality.
They made it so that all bodies would reject our souls." Tian Guisha explained, only making Lin Wu feel that the Tian clan was downright insane.
'Why would a clan go this far to suppress their own people?' Lin Wu wondered.
"Since I couldn't find a new body, I reckoned I would simply have to make one. The inheritance of the Shadow Calamity described a thod to tamorphose one's body, but it didn't teach one to make it.
Instead, I cobbled together bits and pieces from other techniques I had gathered over the years. This gave the thod I used to make an entirely new body." Tian Guisha spoke with a little sorrow.
"And what thod was that?" Lin Wu was greatly interested in this.
After all, making a new body was rather similar to the avatar that he had. But it was a lot more refined and allowed him to have it at the sa ti as his main body. Lin Wu could only imagine the amount of data it would provide to the system's data banks.
"The thod involved using the natural energies of the world itself to forge a new body.It used the inheritance of the Shadow Calamity to form the body, but used several other cultivation techniques to gather the energy required to do so.
Finally I utilized so puppet and soul techniques to fix my nascent soul into that body while also making it have my natural soul brand.
I called it the Mortal World Rebirth Technique." Tian Guisha revealed.
As soon as he did, the system set off a string of notification.

"Mute this system." Lin Wu pushed away the notifications.
'There isn't even any specific mnemonics or details of the technique, just so basic outline and even then it is enough to trigger multiple data updates. This is certainly a lot of information.' Lin Wu was impressed.
He was even thankful on so level that Cang Ci and the rest were kidnapped.
"But… everything didn't go as I had thought. The flaws in the technique I made were rather big…" Tian Guisha revealed.
"Is that how you ended up with a body like this?" Lin Wu asked.
"Yes… the natural energies I used to form my body were… the energies of deep earth, more specifically the Earth Fire. I ended up consuming an entire Earth Fire vein inside the Ming Dao world.
But this lead to so kind of a backlash from the world as well as my own soul. It couldn't fully transform into a human body and ended up with what I have right now.
My body is made partly of earth and fire, with only the outer appearance that of a human." Tian Guisha finally revealed.
"No wonder you have so much heat inside you…" Lin Wu muttered in understanding why radiation perception showed the old man as a glowing hot spot. "But it allowed you to live all this ti right?" he questioned further.
"Yes. But it also forced to restart my cultivation. The biggest derit of this body is that I cannot use normal spirit Qi to cultivate. Not just that, but I cannot use alchemical pills, nor consu any spirit herbs or spirit fruits.
I cannot have any normal human food either. All I can consu is the energy from deep earth, which is contained in the lava and rocks of this volcano."
