Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses - Chapter 595 - 572: Strange Energy
Chapter 595: Chapter 572: Strange Energy
And merely changing the physique and soul aura is just the basic function of the Disguise Talent.
Lou Yi noticed that the talent upgrade this time clearly mentioned cause and effect as well as heavenly mechanisms, covering things more comprehensively and deeply than before.
If unaware, and someone tries to deduce heavenly mechanisms, the Disguise Talent can automatically protect the host.
In the case of actively operating the talent, interference with cause and effect, heavenly mechanisms is more evident.
It is heard that high-tier cultivators above Foundation Establishment, such as Fake Pill, Golden Core realm, have already started touching upon this level of heavenly mechanisms and cause and effect, able to perceive secrets not noticeable to low-tier cultivators.
And possessing such means of interference represents fewer restrictions and worries for the things one wishes to do in the future.
As for the effectiveness, Lou Yi cannot judge accurately. But based on previous experience, it should not be too bad.
This trip to the Qian Yuan Small World is thus perfectly complete.
Having ’comprehended’ the Grandmaster domain, his combat prowess increased significantly, and the Disguise Talent has been upgraded to perfection, vastly enhancing self-preservation capabilities, making the harvest undeniably rich.
Lou Yi started to think about returning.
He went to a hidden underground Teleportation Array in the Qing Kingdom, threw out the token in his hand, and the array instantly shone brightly.
Amidst a dizzying spin, Lou Yi himself vanished on the spot.
Uncertain if it was a moment or a long time.
He finally returned to the Daoist Temple he came from, located on the halfway up the mountain of Dao Peak.
Lou Yi stepped out of the teleportation array, without having time to observe the surroundings.
Suddenly.
’Boom!’
A vastly obscure fluctuation descended from the void, instantly surged into his body.
“What on earth?”
Lou Yi was taken aback, instinctively wanting to expel this fluctuation out of his body.
But it was already too late.
This fluctuation rapidly condensed within his Middle Dantian, forming a fingernail-sized milky white liquid, assertively occupying most of the space in the Middle Dantian.
Pushing aside the originally abundant Spiritual Power within, seemingly not daring to coexist with it.
Not only that.
The Qi flowing throughout his body seemed extremely fearful of this liquid, always detouring around it during circulation.
Lou Yi’s heart stirred, instinctively operating his fortune-telling talent to calculate the origin of this thing.
’Mostly originates from Huai City, naturally formed, not intentionally harmful by others?’
With his mind and spirit contacting this white liquid, he heard quite a few voices, seemingly coming from a very distant place.
“Red Hero, have you really left?”
“Red Hero, oh Red Hero, you saved all of us in Huai City many times, but no one could save you even once.”
“Oh son, remember, in the future, to frequently worship Red Hero, and let your descendants know of him too, he is the great benefactor of the Zhang family…”
As Lou Yi’s mind immersed, not only did he hear more voices, images flickered through his mind like a slideshow.
Among these images.
There were elderly women kneeling and bowing before clay statues, expressions devout, dressed plainly;
Middle-aged men holding bamboo sticks engraved with the words ’Red Hero’, silently murmuring with closed eyes;
And elegantly dressed women and children crying before a seemingly ordinary man’s portrait…
’What is this?’ Lou Yi was somewhat bewildered.
All the images he saw had something to do with him, and they seemed to originate mostly from Huai City.
’Is it because my avatar was killed in battle?’
’The milky white liquid in the body seems related to the chants from these Huai City people?’
Based on the accumulated spoken messages, Lou Yi reached this absurd conclusion.
He then began researching the fingernail-sized white liquid that suddenly appeared in the Middle Dantian.
Lou Yi could feel the liquid contained extremely terrifying energy, seemingly a much more advanced energy compared to Qi.
’Can this energy be integrated into the body?’
The moment this thought arose.
The sixth sense of the Martial Artist and the passive reaction of the fortune-telling talent immediately conveyed massive restraint.
It cannot merge!
They were warning Lou Yi that if this energy was merged, it would lead to a terrifying consequence of a roadblock ahead.
Lou Yi was startled, immediately refraining from any ideas about the liquid.
’I need to go to the Cultivation Hall to consult the classics; I might find information about the origin of this white energy.’
Nevertheless, before that, Lou Yi had to finish the task.
He went to Feishi Peak and submitted the spoils of the Small World trip: the jade prayer beads worn closely by National Master Mu Yun, to the steward of the Task Hall.
Remarkably, the steward did not take it; instead, looked at Lou Yi with a somewhat unusual gaze: “You’re really lucky; Elder Qian Yuan wants to see you personally.”
“What?” The disciples around, coming to submit or undertake tasks, were shocked.
Elder Qian Yuan is one of the pinnacle forces of the Corpse-Driving Sect, a Fake Pill Giant, even possessing a significant place in the cultivation realm.
Although Fake Pill cannot easily join the human and demon wars.
However, they are the cornerstone of the sect, the strongest foundation, ensuring the Corpse-Driving Sect will not easily be annihilated, forcing the Demon Clan to adopt a roundabout tactic to weaken the sect.
One Golden Core, six Fake Pills, are the most powerful forces of the Corpse-Driving Sect on paper.
Without them, the Demon Clan wouldn’t circumvent to invade Zhao Kingdom but would directly attack.
However, Fake Pill elders are elusive like dragons, either in seclusion or in Tianyuan.
None present, including the steward, had seen Elder Qian Yuan’s visage.
“He’s really lucky; I haven’t seen a Fake Pill before.”
“Oh, isn’t this Lou Yi? He’s the man who ranked on the demon-slaying list with Qi Cultivation power.”
“Oh, it’s him; no wonder it seems Elder Fake Pill also quite appreciates him.”
Quickly, many disciples recognized Lou Yi, surprising him, not expecting his fame to be so significant among the disciples.
Lou Yi had underestimated the influence of the demon-slaying list and the promotion by the Corpse-Driving Sect amidst the overwhelming threat.
Not only sect disciples, but even members from friendly sects like Red Sun Sect and True Blood Sect had heard of Lou Yi’s name.
“Thank you, steward, for informing me.” Lou Yi thanked the steward of the Task Hall, then turned and hurried to the location of Jie Dao Peak.
Corpse-Driving Sect has thirteen peaks, apart from peaks with large flows like Disciple Peak, Guest Welcoming Peak, Treasure Storage Peak, Feishi Peak, Wendao Peak, Ten Thousand Dao Peak, there are also Sect Leader Peak, Forget Worry Peak, Jie Dao Peak, which are remote and sparsely populated mountains.
Jie Dao Peak in particular is where all the Fake Pill elders of the sect reside.
’Why would Elder Qian Yuan summon me?’ Lou Yi had a faint sense of doubt in his heart.
Although unlikely to have ill intentions towards a disciple.
Lou Yi instinctively ran his perfected Disguise Talent.
He harbors too many secrets, like martial cultivation comparable to Foundation Establishment Pinnacle, various talents, and the newly acquired unknown energy, as they say, one cannot be too careful.
Soon, Lou Yi reached the foot of Jie Dao Peak.
Took out the token given by the task hall steward, the mountain guardian carefully checked it before allowing him to ascend.
Elder Qian Yuan’s residence turned out to be an old Daoist Temple, with grass growing in the cracks of the bluestone path in the temple, heaps of withered yellow leaves on the ground nearby, giving off a bit of desolation.
Lou Yi walked inward.
Upon reaching the innermost house, the wooden door automatically opened with a creak, revealing a figure enshrouded in white light mist.
Though unable to see the figure’s appearance, Lou Yi was shocked within.
The layer of white light covering the figure, and the milky white energy he had just acquired had an extremely similar feeling, as if they originated from the same source.
