Chapter 447 - 388: Coveting My Body

The Black Moon Sect Leader was stunned.

...

"Xu Ziqing!"

"Why is it Xu Ziqing!"

Snow Venerable’s Primordial Spirit was even more puzzled than him.

He has lived for a long time, so long that he can’t even remember how many years he has lived.

After wandering in the Profound Yellow Realm, he has actually been looking for a way to restore his cultivation and physical body.

"A full thousand years!"

"Maybe it’s already been two thousand years!"

As a dignified Immortal Venerable, in the Profound Yellow Realm, he was like a wandering ghost, always drifting.

Perhaps, he and the Ancestor Emperor would have some common language?

Snow Venerable has nurtured cultivators one after another and has also attempted possession multiple times.

In the end, he found that due to his extremely high status, even the Ninth Realm cultivator’s body could not be used by him!

This is quite different from other primordial spirits.

Those primordial spirits from Kunlun Cave Heaven, their only requirement for possessing Profound Yellow People is that the Spiritual Embryo grade cannot be low.

Then, the physical body wouldn’t last too long, every few years they have to find a new one.

But Snow Venerable was harder to deal with.

When he first descended to the Profound Yellow Realm, he disguised himself as the "personal grandpa" inside the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

He followed the method of the personal grandpa style...

Every Divinity Transformation stage, as time passes, becomes more indifferent.

Yet for rebirth, he forcibly made himself appear kind and gentle...

He wanted to let the person who found the Black Banner think they encountered a great fortune and destiny, and then slowly nurture him.

Back then, he finally cultivated a Ninth Realm Great Cultivator.

But just as he attempted possession, the body exploded!

Everything had to start all over again.

Fortunately, Immortal Venerables have lived for long ages, each one capable of enduring things patiently.

To them, time doesn’t seem so urgent.

Of course, this also owes to the efficiency of the cultivators in the Profound Yellow Realm, cultivation doesn’t take so much time.

Even what is deemed as requiring meticulous effort in Body Refining, compared to Kunlun Cave Heaven, cultivation speed can be considered as racing along.

This allowed Snow Venerable, while disguised as "personal grandpa," to quickly nurture a strong cultivator.

Of course, the precondition is that this fated person isn’t too talentless.

As time passed, during these long periods, he carried out attempt after attempt.

The final result was that possession continued to fail.

"Cultivators in the Profound Yellow Realm are truly too weak!"

"Even Ninth Realm cultivators were so easily defeated in front of the former self!"

"Once primordial spirit merges, their Sea of Consciousness collapses instantly!"

"Moreover, due to his high status, the body would suffer strong backlash from the Heavenly Dao."

"Combining both, possession is simply impossible!"

"Unless..."

When Snow Venerable repeatedly thought of this, he visualized the figure holding a sword in his mind.

The one who alone with a sword, annihilated him!

He thought that person might be able to bear his possession.

"Certainly, there’s also that little Daoist now respected as Dao Ancestor."

"He definitely could too."

But this thought was laughable.

Because he couldn’t handle either of these people...

This left Snow Venerable at a dead end.

He was almost in a state of half-resignation.

"Perhaps for the rest of my life, I’ll just continue to be a wandering ghost."

Aside from this, his only hope was to find his Snow Venerable Fruit Position.

With the power of Fruit Position, perhaps he could find a new path?

Unfortunately, he searched for over a thousand years, and yet still couldn’t find it!

He had almost scoured the entire Profound Yellow Realm.

In these circumstances, he still couldn’t locate the Fruit Position.

This seemed utterly unreasonable...

Snow Venerable even doubted whether his Fruit Position was still in the Profound Yellow Realm...

But with the rise of Chu Huaixu, he gradually saw hope.

First, as a former Eighth Realm Great Cultivator and a member of one of the Four Great Sects, the Black Moon Sect Leader was entitled to know many secrets.

Through him, Snow Venerable learned that Chu Huaixu had a special sword within his Sea of Consciousness!

This sword could annihilate primordial spirits!

Moreover, it could protect his Sea of Consciousness foundation.

"In this way, perhaps his Sea of Consciousness won’t collapse instantly?" Snow Venerable thought.

As for whether this sword could annihilate him...

He hadn’t thought of it at all!

How could a Divinity Transformation stage primordial spirit be compared to those ants?

Once in Divinity Transformation, immortal and indestructible!

Therefore, he considered Chu Huaixu as the subject for study to research possession....

Indeed, Chu Huaixu was once again desired for his body by others.

And what truly made him determined to take a gamble was learning that Chu Huaixu fused with the Night Venerable Fruit Position!

Snow Venerable couldn’t understand how the kid managed it.

With the frail body of an ant, being able to fuse with such a supreme Fruit Position?

In his understanding, this was utterly unreasonable.

Firstly, his such minor cultivation level, was simply not worthy!

Besides, there was rejection from the Heavenly Dao on both sides....

But regardless, Chu Huaixu had achieved it.

Although complete fusion requires time, he has already clearly become—a half-step Divinity Transformation!

He is the new Night Venerable!

He has already mastered the authority of Kunlun’s darkness!

In this way, Snow Venerable believes that Chu Huaixu can definitely withstand his possession!

The method of peeling off the fruit position was all a deception for the Black Moon Sect Leader.

"I do indeed know this secret technique."

"But the cost of this secret technique is truly too great."

"If I were still alive, combined with an Immortal Venerable, I could indeed perform it together."

"Now, there is only a trace of my Primordial Spirit left; how can it be done?"

"I only have my Primordial Spirit left, but he is already half-step into the Divinity Transformation!"

"He will believe me purely because he simply doesn’t understand how terrifying the Divinity Transformation Stage truly is!"

"Divinity Transformation, Divinity Transformation, it means transforming into a god!"

All along, the so-called peeling off the fruit position was false, taking the opportunity for possession was true!

Snow Venerable just wanted to seize Chu Huaixu’s body during this opportunity.

However, what’s happening now?

Chu Huaixu’s figure is nowhere to be seen!

For more than seven months, Snow Venerable and the Black Moon Sect Leader, who were busy in seclusion, knew nothing of the world; now, they are both utterly bewildered.

"What are Jiang Zhi and the others doing?"

"They actually chose to let Xu Ziqing enter the Origin Spirit Realm."

"How could he possibly be Chu Huaixu’s match, how could he possibly be more suitable than Chu Huaixu!"

The two of them couldn’t understand for the moment.

Snow Venerable even wanted the Black Moon Sect Leader to directly go and attack the Daoist Sect now.

But he also knew all too well that the Mountain Protection Array of the Daoist Sect was personally set by the Dao Ancestor.

In this world, no one can break it!

Even ten Black Moon Sect Leaders wouldn’t be able to do it!

The two felt like their eyes were about to split.

The Black Moon Sect Leader felt his opportunity for Divinity Transformation was gone.

Snow Venerable felt the best opportunity for possession had vanished.

But after all, they are ancient monsters who have lived for countless years.

"Sigh—." After a long sigh, he quickly made a decision: "Let’s go quickly."

The Black Moon Sect Leader immediately followed his instructions, leaving the place at once.

In the distance, the Sword Venerable and others suddenly stopped in the air.

Three Ninth Realm Great Cultivators exchanged a glance and then looked in the direction where the Black Moon Sect Leader was earlier.

"There was just a person with the Power of Origin over there." Pei Songji frowned.

"To be precise, it was a Ninth Realm." Sword Venerable sensed considerably more.

"What are they hiding there for?" Jiang Zhi frowned as well.

This raised some suspicion among the three.

Although the opposing figure glimpsed them a few times before turning away, there was still a feeling of eeriness.

And what’s stranger is, logically, from a more distant place, there should already be an induction between the Powers of Origin!

"There’s something wrong." All three thought so.

"Could it be the Cat Guardian?" Pei Songji couldn’t help voicing.

"Even if it is, now is not the time to chase." Jiang Zhi replied.

The problem now is, even if it’s that Cat Demon, sending just one person to chase is pointless because... they wouldn’t be able to win if they caught up....

Three Ninth Realm Great Cultivators must cooperate.

But now the most important is solving the third layer of the Origin Spirit Realm.

The three ultimately decided not to create extraneous trouble in this crucial moment.

In the end, they carried Xu Ziqing and continued flying towards the entrance.

After flying for more than an hour, they finally arrived at the entrance of the Origin Spirit Realm.

As usual, the National Guardians of Moon Country and others were already waiting there.

Upon seeing Xu Ziqing, their eyes couldn’t help but fall on the massive Sword Box on his back.

Time flowed, and midnight soon arrived.

The third layer of the Origin Spirit Realm — opened!

....

....

Kunlun Cave Heaven, endless black sea.

With his Nascent Soul shattered, and cultivation forcefully dropped to the Golden Core Stage, True Monarch Ling Xiao looked up at the vortex in the sky.

He knew it was time for him to enter.

The thought of soon seizing the Night Venerable Fruit Position made his heart burn, and his face showed excitement once again.

No matter how he tried to conceal it, inevitably, some of it would show.

But he was still waiting for his master’s command.

"Go." The ancient youth said lightly.

True Monarch Ling Xiao, wearing the Donghuang Ring on his hand, immediately bowed respectfully and said: "Yes."

Then, he rose into the air, quickly flying toward the vortex.

Soon after, True Monarch Ling Xiao felt somewhat dizzy.

The next moment, a strong discomfort rushed over him.

It was the Heavenly Dao suppression of the Profound Yellow Realm here!

"My power has been suppressed by nearly fifty percent." True Monarch Ling Xiao felt it out.

He knew this long before, but didn’t expect it to be this unsettling.

Because the Heavenly Dao suppression was not only reflected in cultivation, it affected everything.

He even felt his breathing was not as smooth as back in Kunlun Cave Heaven.

"But it’s okay."

"Everything will soon come to an end."

True Monarch Ling Xiao glanced at the array pattern on his left palm and the Donghuang Ring on his index finger.

He believed a single face-off would be enough to trap Chu Huaixu and slowly extract the Night Venerable Fruit Position from him, merging it into his own body.

With this thought, he swiftly flew forward, not pausing at all.

Before long, he collided in the air with a youth bearing a massive Sword Box, with exceptionally delicate features.
