Chapter 446 - 387: How Could It Be You!!

True Monarch Ling Xiao knelt upon the Black Sea, consumed by a frenzy of joy!

What does this mean?

What does Master mean by this!

Have he and Senior Uncle already discussed the ownership of the Night Venerable Fruit Position?

Later, the two of them will bestow a secret technique upon me to help me seize the Fruit Position from Chu Huaixu!

It’s known that True Monarch Ling Xiao has lingered at the Nascent Soul Stage Great Perfection for countless years.

The Fruit Position is something he has longed for in his dreams, yet he dared not even hope for it.

Even if Kunlun launches a large-scale invasion into the Profound Yellow Realm, it remains unknown into whose hands the Fruit Position will fall.

But now, is the grand road of enlightenment truly laid out before him?

In the third layer of the Origin Spirit Realm, only one person from each side can enter.

Which means, there’s simply no one who can compete with him!

"As long as I kill that Chu Huaixu, the Fruit Position will be mine!"

As for his master’s mention of a damaged Fruit Position, he doesn’t mind at all.

It was always an unattainable thing.

Now, to obtain even half of it is the greatest fortune under the heavens!

To wish for more would be to equate himself with Master and Senior Uncle, wouldn’t it?

"Half-step Divinity Transformation, that cannot compare to Nascent Soul!"

Though he cannot imagine what the Half-step Divinity Transformation Realm looks like, his heart is already pounding with excitement!

True Monarch Ling Xiao knelt on the ground, respectfully shouting, "Thank you, Master and Senior Uncle, for granting me fortune!!!"

The elder with long, black hair looked down at him, and said:

"Ling Xiao, though you can only achieve the Half-step Divinity Transformation Realm, you can still integrate your body with the Dao."

"You cannot attain the level of respect as my true self and your master, but it is far beyond your previous cultivation."

"Most importantly, even with just a thread of the power of the Fruit Position, you can attain a lifespan of the same duration as heaven and earth."

"Henceforth, you no longer have to resort to possession and reincarnation when your great limit approaches."

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Ling Xiao’s face immediately brightened with wild joy.

Possession and reincarnation means reverting to weakness, then climbing up step by step once more.

Even with meticulous arrangements, there are risks.

Listening to Senior Uncle’s words, only four words appeared in his mind.

—Immortal!

The elderly youth listened to his junior’s words with a face that remained indifferent.

Immediately after, he said, "Alright, rise, close your eyes, and open the palm of your left hand."

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Ling Xiao immediately complied.

The elderly youth and the elder with black hair exchanged a glance, then sat cross-legged, forming hand seals and chanting words that were inaudible.

The method of stripping the Fruit Position is to go against the heavens.

The difficulty conceivable.

Even if the two of them were Immortal Venerables, their positions aligned with the Night Venerable.

Between Divinity Transformation Stages, there is almost no distinction of superiority.

Fortunately, Chu Huaixu had only fused with the Night Venerable Fruit Position for just over a year.

If it had been any longer, the two of them would have been powerless.

In the youths’ hand seals appeared strands of black light.

In the elder’s hand seals appeared strands of white light.

They were both indifferent, their expressions unchanged.

At this moment, a tinge of agony appeared on their faces.

The secret technique of stripping the Fruit Position is a divine creation.

For them, it causes some backlash.

If not executed by both of them, the backlash would be even more severe if done by one alone.

Then, one by one, Heavenly and Earthly Treasures appeared from unknown origins, floating beside them, a total of eighty-one items.

The treasures were instantly refined, transformed into a droplet of liquid with chaotic light swirling within.

The elderly youth raised his left hand and removed a ring from his index finger.

Then, with a gesture, the droplet of chaos water fell onto the black ring and was absorbed within.

The inscriptions on the ring immediately flickered with dark, mysterious light.

After a few moments, the light quietly dimmed.

The entire process didn’t last long.

Yet, for True Monarch Ling Xiao, it felt like a lifetime.

His desire was immense, his expectations high.

He held his left hand high, waiting for his Master and Senior Uncle to bestow the secret technique upon him.

Soon, True Monarch Ling Xiao felt a piercing pain in his palm.

Array patterns began to emerge on his hand.

They were etched onto his skin!

To the extent that his palm was torn open, the wounds deep enough to reveal bone.

But his heart grew ever hotter!

The entire process lasted about the time it takes to burn half an incense stick.

The whole array was extremely complex, and the engraving very slow.

The faces of the elderly youth and the elder with black hair turned somewhat pale, and they appeared quite weakened.

Finally, the master of True Monarch Ling Xiao retrieved a drop of his own fingertip blood and infused it into the black ring.

After completing this, he tossed the ring, allowing it to float upon the open palm of True Monarch Ling Xiao.

"This Donghuang Ring, wear it."

"Your position is too low."

"The secret technique of stripping the Fruit Position still requires such an Innate Supreme Treasure as a medium to be activated."

As True Monarch Ling Xiao looked at the ring in his hand, his heart skipped a beat.

Innate Supreme Treasure! It is an Innate Supreme Treasure after all!

It is said to have been born at the beginning of heaven and earth.

Formed from the power of the laws of heaven and earth.

According to legend, each Immortal Venerable in the Divinity Transformation Realm possesses only two Innate Supreme Treasures.

If one lacks the Divinity Transformation Person, even at Nascent Soul Stage Great Perfection, they can only exert a tenth of the power of an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Each Innate Supreme Treasure nearly possesses the ability to destroy heaven and earth.

True Monarch Ling Xiao never imagined that one day he would have the chance to touch an Innate Supreme Treasure and even use it once!

For this journey, he felt no worry in his heart.

With the Secret Technique and the Innate Supreme Treasure in hand, Chu Huaixu is destined to die without a doubt!

"The Night Venerable Fruit Position is within easy reach!"

At this thought, excitement appeared on his face.

The authority of the night in Kunlun Cave Heaven will be in my grasp.

I will be the one who commands the night!

"From tomorrow onwards..."

——"I shall be the Night Venerable!!"

....

....

Profound Yellow Realm, East Continent.

The Sword Venerable and other Ninth Realm powerhouses had long been waiting outside the Mountain Protection Array of the Daoist Sect, ready to escort Xu Ziqing to the entrance of the Origin Spirit Realm.

Nowadays, the world is unstable, and after the incident with Chu Huaixu, no errors can be tolerated on Xu Ziqing’s side.

Upon meeting up, the middle-aged Confucian scholar asked:

"How’s it going with Chu Huaixu?"

Jiang Zhi shook his head and said, "Still asleep, hasn’t woken up."

He looked at the Sword Venerable and the Cicada Chasing Man and asked, "And you, have you found any trace of that Cat Guardian?"

The middle-aged Confucian scholar and Pei Songji shook their heads simultaneously.

The Sword Venerable said, "It must have used some method to block the sensing between the Power of Origin."

"So it should be able to detect us unilaterally."

"In this way, if it wants to hide from us, it’s easy enough."

Upon hearing this, a trace of anger appeared on Jiang Zhi’s face.

"If that’s truly the case, then we can only wait for it to reveal itself!?"

"We can’t find it, and can only see it when it wants to see us?"

The middle-aged Confucian scholar and Pei Songji exchanged glances, then both sighed.

"Elder Jiang, currently it seems that this is indeed the case." the Sword Venerable said.

A gleam of cold light flashed in Jiang Zhi’s eyes.

Xu Ziqing, listening on the side, couldn’t help but feel a heavy heart.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar quickly said, "Elder Jiang, now is not the time to discuss this, we should head to the Origin Spirit Realm."

"Chu Huaixu will be fine, waking up is only a matter of time, Young Friend Xu, don’t worry too much."

"For now, the heavy responsibility falls on your shoulders, which might be hard for you." He turned to the young man and gave him a warm smile.

But the Sword Venerable quickly shifted his gaze to the huge Sword Box.

Xu Ziqing nodded slightly and said, "This is what I should do."

After a brief conversation, the four flew towards the direction of the Origin Spirit Realm’s entrance.

The entrance to the Origin Spirit Realm is located in the East Continent, quite close to the Sword Sect.

And several hundred miles away from the entrance, the Black Moon Sect Leader was already waiting.

He hid his aura using the Secret Technique taught by the Snow Venerable’s Primordial Spirit and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

But the sensing between the Power of Origin could not be completely concealed.

Once the other side got closer, they would notice his presence and realize there’s someone carrying the Power of Origin here.

But the Black Moon Sect Leader didn’t mind.

Because once these people got close, he would immediately attack.

"Even if there are several Ninth Realm Cultivators protecting Chu Huaixu, I am not afraid!" he thought.

Now, he himself has achieved a Ninth Realm Pseudo Realm.

And also has a Nascent Soul Stage Great Perfection Pseudo Realm.

Saying it’s a Pseudo Realm, it really only experiences a Fallen Realm.

Its power is indistinguishable from a normal Realm, essentially being time-limited.

Moreover, the Snow Venerable’s Primordial Spirit will also possess him when the time comes.

The combination of all three could temporarily allow the Black Moon Sect Leader to wield power comparable to Ninth Realm Great Perfection while holding the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

"Even if the Sword Venerable uses Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root, he will surely not be my match!"

"Unless the Dao Ancestor and Ancestor Emperor come back to life."

"Otherwise, within the time of one incense stick, I am invincible in the world!"

He retreated for over seven months, not concerning himself with worldly matters.

In his view, at this time, Chu Huaixu, at best, was a Fifth Realm Great Perfection.

No matter how invincible he is at the same Realm, it’s limited in strength.

He just needs to find an opportunity to instantaneously kill him!

By then, the Snow Venerable’s Primordial Spirit will have a way to strip out the Power of the Night Venerable Fruit.

Time passed, and the Black Moon Sect Leader thought to himself:

"They should be passing by here soon."

He waved his hand, and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner appeared in his grasp.

"You’re quite eager." the Snow Venerable’s Primordial Spirit couldn’t help but voice out.

The Black Moon Sect Leader ignored him.

Soon, the Power of Origin within him sensed Jiang Zhi and the others.

"Hmph, three Ninth Realm Cultivators escorting together."

In this case, indeed nothing can go wrong under normal circumstances.

He immediately extended his Divine Sense to cover in that direction, wanting to investigate the specific situation of Chu Huaixu.

But soon, he and the Snow Venerable’s Primordial Spirit were both stunned, starting to vie for control of the body, both uttering simultaneously:

"Huh?"
