I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 225 The danger of seizing the body, the thousand-year ghost baby (4k first update, please subscribe)
A few months ago, he and Bao Siyan searched everywhere in the underground palace, but could not find the place where Master Shentu was enthroned.

Now, the "Picture of a Taoist Holding a Sword" points to this grotto, and this place is on the verge of the outer end of the Taixu Realm... Wei Tu is almost certain that this corpse is the dead Master Shentu.

"Picture of a Taoist holding a sword!"

Almost instantly, when he entered the grotto and saw the skeleton, Wei Tu immediately attacked the scroll in front of him without thinking, without any intention of holding back.

Golden elixir monks can use their spiritual consciousness to forcibly search for the souls and memories of low-level monks.

The Nascent Soul monks can not only use the soul-searching technique, but also perform the "body-seizing technique" on low-level monks, which frightens all the cultivators in the world of immortality.

At the realm of Nascent Soul, a monk's body is nothing more than a hut. Although it is not to the point of being discarded at will, if the "hut is broken", a new hut can be found by relying on the technique of seizing the body.

Of course, monks below the realm of Yuanying can also use the art of seizing the body. However, when monks at lower realms use this technique, it is not as simple and casual as when used at the realm of Yuanying. The success rate is often very low, and there is no chance of one being saved. .

Master Shentu has a history of more than 2000 years.

It stands to reason that Master Shentu's life span has ended long ago, at least several hundred years, or even more than 1000 years since his death.

But Wei Tu knew that the lifespan of a Yuanying monk after reaching the Yuanying realm could not simply be calculated based on the realm's lifespan.

Which Nascent Soul cultivator does not have numerous life-extending secrets in his body?

For example, he has mastered the secret technique attached to "Shenmu Yuan Gong", "Shenmu Life Extension Technique".

With this technique, his life span can exceed the theoretical "eight hundred years of golden elixir".

Get some more opportunities.

It is not unimaginable for him to survive to a thousand years.

In addition, although life-extending pills and life-extending spiritual objects are rare things in the world of immortality, it is not difficult to obtain them with the dignity of Nascent Soul.

……

A few months ago, after noticing the spirit of the "Taoist holding a sword picture" in the Blood Mirage Cave, Wei Tu and Bao Siyan began to worry about whether Master Shentu was still alive in the world.

However, due to the fact that Demon Lord Guiluo and others were pursuing them too closely, Wei Tu and Bao Siyan had to follow the "Taoist holding a sword diagram" and find another way out.

Now, seeing the bones of Master Shentu... Although Wei Tu was not sure whether Master Shentu was still alive, he was cautious and would not let go of the spiritual object "Picture of a Taoist Holding a Sword".

——There are two possibilities for the picture scroll to have spirit: one is that the magic weapon is high-level and has spiritual intelligence; the other is that part of the soul of Master Shentu is hidden in the magic weapon, which is why it has spirit.

but--

Wei Tu didn't dare to gamble, nor did he want to gamble.

He's not a miser.

Without this high-level magic weapon, his future path would not necessarily be hindered.

……

On the way to the Taixu territory.

Wei Tu has already roughly refined the magical weapon "Taoist Holding Sword Diagram".

Therefore, when Wei Tu decided to destroy the scroll artifact, he first used his spiritual consciousness to control the "Taoist Holding Sword Diagram" to self-destruct, and then attacked the artifact and destroyed the scroll with thunder.

This strange change happened too fast.

The "Picture of a Taoist Holding a Sword" did not react at all and was destroyed into fragments. The spiritual light was dim and the spirituality was greatly damaged.

next moment.

A ball of gray light escaped from inside the broken scroll.This gray light ball was extremely fast and escaped towards the corpse on the jade bed.

But at this moment, several talismans suddenly flew out from the ground and shot towards the gray light group.

At the same time, the Sky-Splitting Eagle chirped, grabbed the gray light, and sprayed Xuanming Yin Fire to intercept the gray light.

The blue flame of Xuan Ming Yin Fire is extremely cold and extremely ice-cold. It is worthy of the title of Demonic Spirit Flame. When it touched the gray light group, the speed of the gray light group obviously stagnated and slowed down a lot.

At this time, several talismans flying out were also close to the gray light group.

However, the gray light group is not without a way to deal with it. It quickly splits, detaching the outer part contaminated by the Xuan Ming Yin Fire, and "shedding its skin and escaping".

The gray light mass after molting was less than half its previous volume.

However, there was no panic on Wei Tu's face at this moment. He pinched his hands, and several more colorful rays of light emerged from the ground and fell on the gray light group.

This colorful ray of light was exactly Wei Tu's ultimate move during his time at the Foundation Establishment Realm - Yuan Zhong Fa Jin.

After being enveloped by the colorful rays of light, the movement of the gray light group stagnated once again, making it difficult to move.

But just when Wei Tu thought he was done, the corpse of Master Shentu suddenly came to life on the jade bed a hundred steps away from the gray light ball. He quickly approached the gray light ball, as if he wanted to snatch the gray light from Wei Tu's hands. group.

"Quiet!" Seeing this situation, Wei Tu became cruel. He took out two ice dragon swords, sprayed out a mouthful of alchemy, and used all his strength to use the ice dragon swords to slash at the gray light group trapped by Yuan Zhong's magic.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
Two cold-colored sword lights streaked through the air, arriving almost instantly.

However, at this time, "Master Shentu" seemed to have completed some magic spell while traveling.The bone claw on his left hand detached from the arm bone and quickly stretched towards the gray light group.

The bone claws swelled in the wind, firmly protecting the gray ball of light when Wei Tu's two ice dragon swords arrived.

"Master Shentu" arrived next. He flicked his sleeves and robes to directly dissolve the layer of Yuanzhong Dharma Restriction covering the gray ball of light. He then grabbed the gray ball of light with his right palm and sent it towards his head.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened to "Master Shentu".

The three transparent moths rushed towards the gray light group without fear of death and exploded one by one.

next moment.

The gray light ball that fell into the hands of "Master Shentu" was completely dimmed and disappeared.

"Okay! Okay! Okay!" "Master Shentu" said the word "good" three times in a row, the protruding eyeballs in his eyes rolled, and he sneered: "What a junior, so decisive in his methods."

First, out of the blue, he directly destroyed the magic weapon "Taoist Holding a Sword Picture", and then without hesitation, he exploded three second-order colorful phantom moths.

Ordinary monks do not have such great determination and perseverance.

The scroll magic weapon and the second-level colorful moth, these two treasures, most monks have no time to cherish them, so how can they be destroyed so easily.

"Your Excellency, are you Senior Shentu?" Wei Tu looked wary. While wielding the defensive magic weapon, he opened his mouth to inquire about information.

Based on his knowledge, it is not difficult to see that the gray light mass just now is part of the soul of the corpse in front of him stored in the "Taoist Holding Sword Diagram".

"Taoist Holding a Sword Picture" has been following him for several months and understands some of his methods.Therefore, in order to prevent the secret from being leaked, he would not hesitate to lose three second-order colorful phantom moths to self-destruct to kill the "grey light group". ——It’s not terrible for the monk’s information to be leaked.The terrible thing is that it was leaked into the hands of high-level monks.

In the same realm, the monk's information was leaked, and he still had the power to fight.

Different realms. If a high-level monk masters the information of a low-level monk, dealing with the low-level monk will be like a cook trying to solve a cow.

"Master Shentu" is a level higher than him. Even if he is still on his last breath and has no strength left, Wei Tu does not dare to leak his information to "Master Shentu".

"Shentu?" "Master Shentu" was startled when he heard Wei Tu's words, with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.

He glanced at Wei Tu and said: "That guy Shentu died at the end of his life 700 years ago. However, I can be considered him. You can call me Master Shentu."

The voice fell.

Wei Tu was stunned.

Now that Master Shentu is dead, what is the "Master Shentu" in front of us?
"Corpse baby?" Wei Tu thought for a moment and thought of some possibility.

When a whale falls, all things are born.

The lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator can last for thousands of years.The "scales and feathers" on his body are all the essence of heaven and earth, and are full of great spirituality.

And the Nascent Soul after his death is even more of a treasure of heaven and earth.

After the death of the Nascent Soul, it is possible for spiritual beings to be born again inside the corpse, becoming a terrifying existence called a "corpse baby".

Although the strength of the Corpse Infant is far less powerful than that of the original body, it still possesses some power of the Nascent Infant and does not exist for free.

"No! If it's a corpse baby, what is the part of the soul just now?" Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at "Master Shentu" cautiously.

Although the Corpse Infant is powerful, because it is born from the dead Nascent Soul, its soul is naturally weak and does not have the same soul separation methods as the monks.

Wei Tu speculated that there is a higher probability that some of the souls in the "Taoist Holding Sword Diagram" were left by Master Shentu "before his death".

You must know that the part of the soul during life and the soul of the corpse infant after death are enemies, and it is impossible for them to get along so harmoniously and merge with each other.

However, just when Wei Tu was thinking about who the "Master Shentu" in front of him was, the "Master Shentu" suddenly spoke.

"Boy, this scroll is left in the underground palace. It was intended to guide me, the cultivator of the Fire Spirit Sect, to the secret path into the Taixu Realm."

"You are so ruthless and have no respect for me... You should not be a cultivator of the Fire Spirit Sect."

"You broke into the underground palace without permission and took away my inheritance and secret treasure. I don't care about this matter..."

"What do you mean by your Excellency?" Wei Tu glanced at "Master Shentu" a few times, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

He secretly activated the magic weapons and talismans, preparing to take advantage of "Master Shentu"'s unpreparedness to launch a thunderous strike to completely eliminate this senior figure.

Speaking at this time is actually to prepare for the offensive and prepare for a fatal blow.

"I am willing to make an agreement with you. As long as you agree to this agreement, if I am defeated later, you can inherit everything I have instead of destroying it completely."

"Master Shentu" glanced at Wei Tu and said indifferently.

Without waiting for Wei Tu to ask, "Master Shentu" then said to himself: "The agreement is that after you come out of the Taixu Realm, my bones will be buried on the Dafeng Slope of Anyuan City, Chongshan County, Jingguo... …Dafengpo is my hometown before I cultivated immortality.”

"If you still have time, help me take care of my descendants. If they are rich and prosperous, you don't need to take care of them. If they are down and out, I hope my fellow Taoists will lend a helping hand."

"Master Shentu" spoke rather verbosely.

"Wei is willing to agree to this agreement." After Wei Tu heard this, he nodded and agreed without thinking too much.

Compared with the complete Nascent Soul inheritance, what "Master Shentu" said is not worth mentioning. At most, it was a waste of his time after leaving the Taixu Realm.

However, immediately after saying these words, Wei Tu suddenly revealed his cold light, made a hand with his hands, and launched a series of magic weapons, blasting towards the "Master Shentu" in front of him.

Wei Tu showed no pity for these magical weapons. When he approached Master Shentu, he detonated them one by one.

The explosion suddenly echoed through the grotto.

However, the Nascent Soul corpse of "Master Shentu" is not an ordinary human body. Although its physical body was damaged when faced with these exploding magic weapons, none of the injuries could cause fatal injuries to it.

"When I was alive, I was considered a righteous person. It is also harmful to the heaven and earth to survive to this day. I wonder if God can give me...a way to survive..." "Master Shentu" who was surrounded by magical weapons did not retreat, but was quite angry. He said this with emotion.

The voice fell.

"Master Shentu" slapped his forehead, and a jet-black baby with a black aura quickly jumped out from his Heavenly Spirit Cap.

This jet-black baby had a ruby ​​ring on its finger. After seeing the explosion of magic weapons one after another around it, it touched the ruby ​​ring and suddenly a piece of silver armor appeared on its hand.

With the protection of this silver treasure armor, the black baby was almost unscathed in the explosion of the magic weapon.Then, the black baby pinched a strange mark, and its figure suddenly disappeared above the head of "Master Shentu".

When Wei Tu's consciousness caught the jet-black baby, the jet-black baby had already appeared in front of his head, and touched his Tianling Cap with one hand.

"Seize the body?" Wei Tu was shocked. When he wanted to remedy the situation, he found that he was powerless at this moment.

He gritted his teeth, removed the magic power of the sacrificial weapon, and began to sit cross-legged, keeping his mind close to the task of "Master Shentu" to seize his body.

As early as when he entered the grotto, he had made corresponding preparations for "Master Shentu" to seize the body.

What he couldn't predict was just that.

The gap between the Nascent Soul Realm and the Golden Core Realm was so huge. Even though he tried his best, he still couldn't kill Master Shentu before he could seize his body.

However, if Wei Tu were to be chosen again, he would still enter the grotto under the guidance of the "Taoist Holding Sword Tu" instead of crossing the "Blood Slaughter Sea" to confront Demon Lord Guiluo and others.

In the confrontation with Demon Lord Guiluo and others, he had almost no chance of victory or survival. However, when faced with "Master Shentu" seizing his body, he still had some measures to deal with it.

The lesser of two evils.

After all, "Master Shentu" was only a monk in the early stage of Nascent Soul during his lifetime. He had been here for nearly 1000 years and was no longer in his prime.

outside.

Seizing a body is not a simple matter.

There is a certain chance of failure.

"Destroy it!" Wei Tu kept his mind tight to deal with the body snatching, while gritting his teeth, he began to use his "Shen Demon True Skill" with all his strength to transform his body and break through to the third level.

In an instant, blood surged crazily in Wei Tu's body, washing over his limbs and bones.

Including the brain, there are also streaks of red blood that are constantly boiling.
