Until this mont, The Divine was still cautious of Hallmaster Dao's potential actions against Cao Erzhu...
Yes, it was right to be cautious, The Divine was correct.
The puppet controlled The Divine, and Erzhu controlled Kui Lei.
Hallmaster Dao's plans were as clear as a ringing bell, how could I have let my guard down against him?
Xu Xiaoshou was sowhat startled, secretly cursing Elder Dao the Flamboyant a few tis, and was just about to refuse his goodwill with a forced smile.
"No fun."
Hallmaster Dao's eyelid drooped, and he casually retracted the Divine Puppet, muttering softly, audible only to the few people around:
"Talking behind people's backs, really no fun..."
Xu Xiaoshou was not embarrassed at all, even pleased by this, sparing him the need to engage in a verbal battle.
Life Dao Disc changed, and he was about to try another thod to integrate Cao Erzhu's spirit and body.
Without turning his head, Hallmaster Dao threw a remark:
"One primary, one auxiliary, stems growing interdependently."
"The sacrificed soul body certainly has a tough situation, but he is The Divine, very strong, can serve as stem support."
"Erzhu's main soul acts as the root, absorbing the energy from The Divine's soul body, and quickly reconnect to his body — his body just withstood an overload from 'us', it's already decayed at the root, it can't even identify who is the owner, perhaps even 'identification' has been damaged, be careful."
"When moving about daily, Erzhu should also rember to intermittently replenish the soul energy, otherwise constantly absorbing like that, even your Uncle Yi can't withstand it."
"This mutually supportive state can only be maintained for three months at most, exceeding the ti poses risks for both, no need for to say more, you decide for yourselves."
His words paused.
Xu Xiaoshou was about to do so, rigidly restrained in place for three breaths.
That is just what he wanted to do!
But the fact that Hallmaster Dao spelled it out, did it an that… there was a trap?
Glancing over, he saw Elder Dao the Flamboyant rolling his eyes, spreading his hands, saying:
"Really unnecessary! Lord Shou!"
Xu Xiaoshou huffed twice, but couldn't co up with any tricks Elder Dao the Flamboyant could pull on the spirit-flesh surgery he handled, except for the Branding from the Great God Descending Technique.
But that branding, if to be applied, was probably done long ago, not missing just this instance.
Quickly, he shoved Cao Erzhu back in.
...
"Feel like sothing is still missing?"
After he had healed Cao Erzhu's ravaged body, accepting Cao Erzhu's thanks.
Xu Xiaoshou, watching Yue Gongli's soul body restore to physical form and Cao Erzhu's soul body restore to physical form, felt like he had forgotten sothing.
When he tried to think, even the thought of "recalling" itself beca very vague, as if fading from his mind.
"We can prepare to leave now."
Hallmaster Dao fiddled with the array wheel in his hand, pointing at the sky, signaling Xu Xiaoshou to open the tree door.
This trip, empty-handed yet fruitful, Hallmaster Dao felt quite satisfied.
For him, the material desires of life had been largely fulfilled during those thirty years as Hallmaster.
He knows how much he has embezzled.
At this mont, treasures from the Technique Ancestor Ruins like the Shattered Shield, Dragon Painting Spear, and others were certainly enticing, but Kui Leihan truly wasn't troubled by his inability to obtain them.
These things were rely icing on the cake, not necessities.
Kui Leihan had never forgotten his main purpose for this journey.
Within the Four Symbols Secret Realm, he had perford the Great Divination Skill and the divination was "Damage."
It was far from great luck, and not even minor luck, thus it pointed to a rather bad outco.
However, divinations are not absolute, and Kui Leihan interpreted it this way:
"There's a marsh below the mountain, the marsh nourish the mountain, benefiting what's above by sacrificing what's below."
"Damaging myself, to benefit others!"
Kui Leihan was never one to force, everything operated on fate's terms, hence he went with the flow, entering this perilous Divine Relics.
And indeed, this place bore significant causality, layer upon layer; if not handled well, it could spell his doom.
But the final outco proved that his initial decision was correct.
Willing to play a supporting role, benefiting Xu Xiaoshou by sacrificing his own path, blessing him, which in turn provided nourishnt back to himself.
Xu Xiaoshou being propped up allowed him to obtain what he most desired, most satisfied with:
"Having controlled Cao Erzhu's body, the Great God Descending Technique can be deployed at any ti, equivalent to gripping Kui Leihan's lifeline, as long as I don't ss up, everything is negotiable... Dare not descend on you? Am I not brave enough to descend on your son? Alas, humans are indeed restrained by the desire for blood continuity, sothing I must be vigilant about... Yes, and there's August..."
"Cao Erzhu can do, controlling him also cos with a slightly troubleso, Divine soul hiding in the City of the Dead Bodhisattva without leaving. If nothing unexpected, once we leave the ruins and reincarnate, the Divine soul should return to Cross Corner Street... Xu Xiaoshou can't rember this detail, and even if he does, he's powerless... My next stop should then be to take over the City of the Dead Bodhisattva. Ye Xiao, the North Street Master, I hope her traces haven't been completely erased. Those damned Five Decays of Heaven and Man, such decisive self-destruct, am I really that frightening..."
"Yue Gongli's physique is remodeled, though I can't apply the Great God Descending Technique on him, the risk is too high, but now at least one-third of him is mine, and can beco a variable at a critical mont... Well, little Ali probably doesn't want to hold a grudge with , as long as no chances are given, we can still be friends after we leave..."
"The seeds of doubt sown between Yue Ba, making it impossible for them to be united anymore, this is subtle and hard to realize... When Yue Gongli accepts the Holy Emperor person and becos the family head, it will also be ti for him to completely part ways with Bazhun'an and Yue Gongnu... Sibling affection is good, but it's a pity, with in between, you two are destined to not get along..."
"I've made unexpected progress on the mory Path, which greatly aided my Dao heart. Indeed, the Ancient Sword Technique isn't fit for , I seem to have a bit of talent in other paths... Sleeveless and other Saint Servants' soul bodies can indeed be returned to Xu Xiaoshou, of course, he has to rember and actively propose it, if exchanged after leaving, I'll have many moves to make... Fen Qin... Heh, foolish Gou Wuyue, not even aware of nurturing a threat, no wonder you're left with just an arm..."
"Bai Zhou, Xu Yue Grey Palace... Sorry, the net spread thirty years ago, it's ti to reel in the big fish today... Sister, the Southern Region isn't the gift I left for you to beco the Hallmaster, that is my escape route... Estimating the ti, Gou Wuyue's side should also be almost ending. I hope their loss of contact with along the way won't turn them into headless flies, still capable of acting according to the original plan... Well, with Gou Wuyue around, it's manageable, but not necessarily so with just Wei Feng..."
"Xu Xiaoshou, tsk, still too young, grow up fast, we don't have much ti... Surpassing the Ten High Nobles isn't hard, but the era won't wait for you, you need to surpass the era... Should I remind him? From various ti nodes, guessing by the ti of the Great Divine War, Cursed Yin had already revived... I really don't understand, I really can't figure this guy out, whether he's hiding it, or genuinely hasn't realized this crucial point..."
"And more and more..."
"Ten Ancestors' Secrets..."
How to solve "Damage"?
"Damage myself, to benefit others."
Damage turned around.
"Damage others, to benefit myself!"
...
"Speculated, Passive Points, 1."
Information Bar popped up again, Xu Xiaoshou suspiciously glanced at Kui Leihan lost in thought as he gazed at the sky.
From this guy's fervent spirit state, it was beyond doubt that he was concocting so malicious plan again.
He took out the Core of Heavenly Realm, scratching his head, feeling like he had forgotten quite a lot, just as he was about to summon the tree door, he suddenly paused, slapping his head:
"Elder Dao the Flamboyant, I've rembered!"
