Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 1999
962: entanglements (part 3)[ … words ]
[ … words ]
He had clearly harbored covetous intentions for a long time, wanting to strip the Green Dragon Pattern from the Demon Sect leader.
He had even prepared thoroughly for this.
“Another one… trying to take things from me…”
Mo Hua’s thoughts moved slightly.
On the other side, Shen Tuao stopped, looking at the snake pattern on Elder Bear, and slightly furrowed his brows.
“The serpent wants to transform into a dragon…”
Since he was exposed, Elder Bear no longer hid.
He fully exposed his aura, and with the support of two sets of Four Symbols Demon Formation, the demonic power of Bear Pi and the python mixed together, though a bit incongruous, it was unexpectedly violent and strong at the moment.
This was the first time Shen Tuao’s expression became somewhat serious.
Seeing this, Young Master Xuan let out a slow breath and said:
“Third Prince, as long as you hand over Prince Ye’s physical body to me, I won’t break my promise; my branch of the Demon Gate will still assist you in unifying the Great Wilderness.”
“The difficulty of being enemies with the Taoist Court and reviving the Great Wilderness royal family—I’m sure you understand this better than I.”
“Surely, you’re not a person who blindly adheres to old ways without knowing how to be adaptable.”
Shen Tuao was silent for a moment and then asked coldly: “Why… must it be Ye’er’s remains?”
Young Master Xuan looked at the prince’s body in the dragon coffin, a hint of greed in his eyes. After contemplating for a moment, he slowly said: “Honesty is the best policy, I won’t hide it from you…”
“I need Prince Ye’s body to cultivate… the Mystery Demon Foetus!”
Mystery Demon Foetus?
In the corner, Mo Hua was taken aback upon hearing this.
He always felt that these three words were very familiar, as if he had heard them somewhere a long time ago.
Past memories, like a tide, slowly rolled back…
Mo Hua’s pupils suddenly contracted.
Mystery Demon Foetus… Xuan Sanren?!
“Xuan Sanren…”
Mo Hua’s gaze trembled slightly; he still remembered the time when the righteous and demonic factions besieged his master in the Five Elements Sect of Li Mountain City.
A group of Demon Cultivators took the opportunity to hold the Ten Thousand Demons Gathering.
During the gathering, his uncle used Gui Tao’s Heaven Sealing Formation to seal the Ten Thousand Demons Hall and then planted the devil in the Taoist Heart, slaughtering all the Demon Cultivators cleanly.
Among these Demon Cultivators, there were even three at the Feather Transformation Realm.
At that time, his uncle, having the demon seed of Golden Core, was not supposed to be capable of eroding the Taoist Heart of someone in the Feather Transformation Realm—
This was something said by the Feather Transformation Demon Head known as “Poison Venerable.”
But the problem lay with “Xuan Sanren.”
Mo Hua remembered clearly that Poison Venerable had cursed angrily back then:
“…Xuan Sanren, you cowardly beast, you dared to use Mystery Demon Foetus in place of your true self?!”
Mystery Demon Foetus changes, Supreme Demon Skill.
One body with two foetuses, indistinguishable between real and fake.
The causal links binding his master were seized to steal the secret of the Back Ruins Heaven Burial, a matter of immense significance, and Xuan Sanren likely anticipated its dangers, thus sending a Mystery Demon Foetus in place of his real self.
Yet despite its dual nature, a Mystery Demon Foetus’s Taoist Heart was divided.
It could only achieve the cultivation level of the Feather Transformation Realm without a complete Taoist Heart of the same realm.
This gave his uncle an opportunity.
In the sealed Demon Palace, a Mystery Demon Foetus at the Feather Transformation Realm was infected by his uncle with the devil in the Taoist Heart, making survival for the other two Feather Transformation Demon Heads practically impossible.
“By planting the devil in the Taoist Heart, slaughter the ten thousand demons, execute Feather Transformation…”
Mo Hua was an eyewitness to this event.
And those Demon Cultivators who besieged his master mostly perished at his uncle’s hands.
Only Xuan Sanren, he merely lost a Mystery Demon Foetus.
Mo Hua turned his head towards Young Master Xuan.
No wonder, during divination, he felt Young Master Xuan was familiar, even sensing a deep connection between them.
So that’s it, this causal chain traces back to “Xuan Sanren,” who harmed his master…
Young Master Xuan, Xuan Sanren, Mystic Demon Sect…
“This truly… is quite a profound connection.”
Mo Hua’s gaze was icy.
Facing Shen Tuao, Young Master Xuan’s expression shifted slightly, and in his heart, he felt an inexplicable fear as though he had been targeted by some terrifying beast.
…
Meanwhile, across mountains and rivers,
in the dark and cold, demon-filled, dragon pit-like Mystic Demon Sect.
An elderly man, resembling a child with crane-like hair, suddenly opened his eyes during meditation, unable to suppress a tremor in his heart.
Had some karmic bond… been touched?
