Chapter 253: The Importance of Incarnations
“Suo Huan… we can talk this out properly.”
Inside the great formation, Sui Ying watched Suo Huan walking closer step by step. Finally, letting go of its pride as a blood descendant of the Dragon Lord, it lowered its dragon head and said humbly:
“My father is the Dragon Lord of the Four Seas Sect after all, and I am his direct descendant. If you kill me, Father will inevitably sense it. When that time comes, you will also die without a burial place. You set up a formation to trap me, surely just wanting some benefits. Spare my life, and you can take anything on my person freely.”
When under the eaves, one has to bow their head.
Sui Ying wanted to be tough, but Suo Huan truly lacked martial virtue. With the cultivation of a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Great Perfected One, he still set up a formation to deal with it.
Under the suppression of cultivation, it had no way to react.
By the time it came back to its senses, it had already been suppressed within the formation by Suo Huan, unable to drive its spiritual power. If not for its dragon body, it would have died suddenly.
Coupled with hearing that Suo Huan truly intended to kill it, Sui Ying naturally dared not feign toughness anymore. It decisively chose to bow its head, begging only to keep its life.
Such a flexible attitude made Suo Huan unable to resist clapping his hands and laughing. “The True Dragon Race truly lives up to its reputation. No wonder the True Dragons claimed to be the lords of the world’s rivers, lakes, and seas in the past. But when the four Dao Lords arrived, the Dragon Lord decisively abandoned the mainland, coiling overseas, resulting in ‘rivers, lakes, and seas’ being left with only ‘seas’.”
“You!”
Hearing this, Sui Ying instantly showed anger. The Dao Lords establishing sects and the True Dragons retreating far overseas was a taboo in the Four Seas Sect that couldn’t even be mentioned.
After all, it really damaged the face of the True Dragon Race.
However, the opponent was too strong. It still had to suppress its anger and said in a deep voice, “Suo Huan. Does an outer heaven person like you really want to fight me to the death?”
“Fellow Daoist thinks too highly of yourself.”
Suo Huan’s smile gradually faded. His spiritual power gradually expanded, not displaying Divine Abilities, but revealing a long river hanging high in the azure sky, cutting across North and South.
In an instant, the Great Perfected One’s stature and spiritual power combined with the formation. It was truly a myriad of majestic phenomena. Shimmering water light scattered across the six fields, densely filling a thousand suburbs, like the Milky Way flying from the azure sky, crashing steadily onto Sui Ying’s body. Wrapping around its dragon body, it looked like a piece of exquisite amber.
“Roar…”
Sui Ying still had the heart to struggle, but Suo Huan suppressed it with the Status of a Great Perfected One, bullying the small with the big, and even paired it with a formation. He truly gave it no way to live.
The weak dragon roar quickly faded into silence.
Finally, the entire great formation was also collected by Suo Huan, revealing no abnormalities to the outside. It transformed into a brilliantly fluorescent pill and fell into Suo Huan’s palm.
Only then did he turn to look at the mirror surface.
“A purebred True Dragon, cultivating [Great Ocean Water]. Using it to refine the [Heavenly Water Kan Union Precious Pill] Fellow Daoist needs should be more than enough.”
Hearing these words, Perfected One Miaoyin, far away in the Saint Sect, felt a chill in her heart. Suo Huan displaying such formidable means was certainly to capture Sui Ying alive on one hand, but on the other hand, wasn’t it also a demonstration of power to her? This Great Perfected One from the outer heaven possessed cultivation that could be called vast and mighty!
Thinking of this, Perfected One Miaoyin felt a thick resentment towards Chong Guang again.
If not for him refusing to listen to me and insisting on seeking that whatever ‘Gold’, with a Foundation Establishment Perfection guarding me, how would this Suo Huan dare to be so arrogant and domineering?
Although she thought this, her face showed nothing. instead, she smiled charmingly and said:
“Then many thanks to Fellow Daoist Suo Huan. I have already made arrangements for the Qi you want. Before long, you should be able to find his traces overseas.”
Suo Huan smiled upon hearing this. “Oh? Who is it this time?”
“Chong Ming.”
Perfected One Miaoyin’s tone was indifferent. Chong Ming was originally the means she used to imitate the Peak Master of Heaven-Mending Peak. But now Chong Guang was dead, and Chong Ming himself was useless, completely unable to help her cross the tribulation. Forced to find another way to cross the tribulation, she simply made use of the waste and gave him to Suo Huan as payment.
Hearing such a temperament, even Suo Huan shook his head:
“Jiangbei Demonic Sect, truly living up to its reputation… However, as the son of a Natural Immortal Spirit, his roots are considered extraordinary. If killed and refined, it will be at least Medium Grade Qi.”
“Then it’s settled.”
Perfected One Miaoyin didn’t mind. Changing the subject, she said, “As for Yuan Tu… recently, I will travel with him to a World Realm named [Myriad Martial World Realm].”
“After entering the [Myriad Martial World Realm], I will find a way to guide Fellow Daoist in.”
“At that time, in the outer heaven, if Fellow Daoist kills him, it will be unknown to gods and ghosts. As long as the karma is concealed well, even Perfected Lords won’t be able to trace it to you or me.”
Hearing this, a trace of secrecy appeared in the depths of Suo Huan’s eyes, but he quickly returned to normal and nodded:
“Then I will await Fellow Daoist’s good news.”
“As for this True Dragon, according to the old rules, I’ll give it to Fellow Daoist first. We will have many opportunities for cooperation in the future. I believe Fellow Daoist will not break your word.”
As his voice fell, brilliant light flickered on the precious mirror, and all images vanished abruptly. Replacing them was that pill sealing Sui Ying, which was actually transmitted by Suo Huan across ten thousand miles. Perfected One Miaoyin took the pill, her face instantly showing joy. “It wasn’t a wasted trip after all.”
“Wait until I find a way to refine this True Dragon.”
“Obtaining a [Heavenly Water Kan Union Precious Pill], and if I have the protection of the [Spirit Ruins Blessed Land], I will have seventy percent confidence in succeeding in crossing the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation this time.”
“Hateful Chong Guang. If he had been willing to damage that [Cave Sun Blessed Land] to help me break through back then, why would I need to go to such great lengths…”
Inside the empty palace hall, Perfected One Miaoyin’s voice gradually deepened.
At the same time, Lu Yang walked out of the Manifestation Pavilion.
Returning to Nether Capital Mountain, he cast a spell to close the cave dwelling quiet room he was in. Only then did he take out the [Nine-Child Mother Heavenly Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword] and a scroll of golden Daoist scripture.
Secret Record of Immortal Fetus Experiencing the World!
This was the suggestion given by the formation spirit in the pavilion after Lu Yang requested a Dao arts in the Manifestation Pavilion that could maximize the utility of the [Nine-Child Mother Heavenly Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword].
The key to this secret technique lay in “Immortal Fetus” and “Experiencing the World.” As the name suggested, it involved first using superior rare treasures to nourish and refine a Dao Seed, then cultivating it day and night with Divine Abilities, finally transforming it into a Dao Body, called the [Immortal Fetus]. Then, using the Dao Body to experience the human world on one’s behalf, called [Experiencing the World].
“To put it bluntly, it’s a incarnation technique.”
However, unlike ordinary incarnations, because the essence of the [Immortal Fetus] cultivated by this method was similar to an Immortal Spirit, once formed, its fate was self-sufficient.
Things done using the Immortal Fetus would have karma fall only upon the Immortal Fetus afterward. Lu Yang’s main body, hidden behind the scenes, wouldn’t be touched by even a speck of karma.
Such a wondrous method could be called a miraculous technique for substituting disaster and avoiding tribulation.
The only flaw was that it couldn’t be used to transfer tribulations the main body already had. After all, although the Immortal Fetus and main body shared one mind, they were practically two different people.
“Regardless, it’s usable.”
Lu Yang smiled faintly. As a spiritual material, the [Nine-Child Mother Heavenly Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword] perfectly met the standards for nurturing an Immortal Fetus. The quality of the refined Immortal Fetus would be excellent.
“Let it make the trip to the outer heaven for me!”
Although he had the [Book of Hundred Lifetimes] as a safety net, Lu Yang’s style of doing things up to this day had always prioritized steadiness. Even in spiritual battles, he only fought the old, weak, sick, and disabled.
Not to mention his biggest backer, Chong Guang, had fallen.
Perfected Lord Qingcheng Feixue was also about to go into seclusion.
Running outside under these circumstances would be tantamount to giving people with ulterior motives an opportunity. Therefore, an [Immortal Fetus Incarnation] was crucial for him right now.
“The main body takes the benefits; the incarnation takes the bad stuff.”
“If anything goes wrong, cut ties and run immediately… This is the use of a incarnation.”
Thinking of this, Lu Yang immediately circulated the hand seals and gently tapped the [Nine-Child Mother Heavenly Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword] with his finger, evoking a clear and bright sword cry.
Then he calculated the time and thought to himself:
At most three months, and everything will be ready!
By then, he could go to the outer heaven, to that [Myriad Martial World Realm] to harvest Qi, test what profundities the Rank 2 True Art held, and prepare for the Perfection of the Middle Stage!
