Chapter 211 - 32 Possession! _1
Next to the dead body.
A phantom flickering.
A human outline could vaguely be discerned.
It was the remnant soul of Lin Xiwen!
At this moment, it was floating behind Wang Ba, looking at the figure that had disappeared into the distance.
A hint of uncontrollable fear couldn’t help but rise in Lin Xiwen’s usually calm heart.
“That was close!”
“I almost died!”
“If it wasn’t for my habit of always having a backup plan, and dividing a portion of my spirit to be hidden within the ‘Five Sutras’, then using the Five Sutras as a cover to conceal my spirit, I’m afraid…”
“This damned sword cultivator!”
Thinking of that sword cultivator, even with Lin Xiwen’s usual arrogance, he had to admit that this was the most extraordinary Foundation Establishment sword cultivator he had ever encountered.
Even when he was an elder of the Wujing School, a Golden Core true person, coming across such a cultivator would also make him very cautious.
After all, such a person has almost a seventy to eighty percent chance of condensing a Solidifying Pill in the future!
However, he never expected that he was merely coming to reclaim what was rightfully his, and he ran into such a tough opponent.
What’s most hateful is that the opponent was too well hidden, he only sensed that the opponent was a late-stage Foundation cultivator, but he wasn’t aware that the opponent could unleash such startling methods.
“Thirty years of hard-earned cultivation just washed away like this!”
Lin Xiwen gritted his teeth in anger.
Recalling the thirty years of living again after he arrived in Jinhe City, with the help of the Yin Devouring Insects, he painstakingly managed and plotted, rapidly rising to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
However, it all vanished in an instant.
Even though he has weathered many storms and experienced many ups and downs, he can’t help but feel a pang of heartache at this moment.
With the Yin Devouring Insect, and his original foundation as a Golden Core true person, his cultivation path almost seemed smooth all the way up to the Nascent Soul stage.
He even had the confidence to return to the Golden Core stage in another ten years.
Then, whether it was for revenge or regaining control of the Wujing School, it would not be out of reach.
The situation seemed very promising.
However, first, the disciple he had carefully selected to spread the Child Insects was killed by a cultivator from the Tianmen Cult, causing some Yin Devouring Child Insects to be lost.
Then this Zhao surname sword cultivator showed up, drawing the attention of demon cultivators from Yan State, involving a large number of rogue cultivators in the vicinity of Jinhe City. As a result, the Yin Devouring Child Insects that he painstakingly left behind in these rogue cultivators were killed one by one due to the trouble.
In the end, in order to preserve enough Yin Devouring Child Insects, he had to refocus his attention on the Tianmen Cultivator in front of him.
Yet he just so happened to run into the damned Zhao surname sword cultivator.
Thinking about all that happened.
He absolutely despised this Tianmen Cult disciple, who was the cause of all failures!
Thinking about this, Lin Xiwen’s remnant soul looked at the Tianmen Cult disciple in front of him, and a ruthless look flashed in his heart!
“You ruined me, it’s fitting that I should possess your body and take over everything you have!”
With that thought, he immediately rushed toward Wang Ba’s eyebrow center.
As long as he could take over this person, possess his body like a cuckoo taking over a sparrow’s nest, he may be able to infiltrate the mysterious Tianmen Cult through this. Then he could refine the Yin Devouring Insect again and perhaps live an even more exciting third life!
He had heard that the Tianmen Cult had Nascent Soul True Methods, perhaps he could even get a glimpse of the Nascent Soul’s Dao!
Thinking about all this, Lin Xiwen’s remnant soul had already rushed into Wang Ba’s eyebrow center.
However, just as he rushed in, Lin Xiwen suddenly felt that something was wrong.
It was as if his spirit had come to a bloody plane.
Looking around, he saw that within this plane was a temple, with its doors wide open, and in the middle sat a faceless statue.
The statue faintly revealed some details.
“What’s going on?!”
“Why is there a temple in the Spiritual Government?!”
Even though Lin Xiwen had cultivated for more than three hundred years, witnessed a lot, and encountered many strange things, he had never encountered such a bizarre situation.
At this moment, the temple suddenly started to shake.
At the same time, a very strange suction force suddenly came from the entrance of the temple!
Lin Xiwen did not even have time to react before he was sucked in instantly.
When he came to his senses, he found that he had reformed a body and was kneeling in front of the statue!
What frightened him was that the originally faceless statue’s mouth had split open, revealing sharp teeth.
He watched helplessly as he floated up uncontrollably, willingly offering himself to the mouth of the faceless statue.
Then.
Crunch!
The sharp teeth of the faceless statue bit down hard on his arm!
Half of his arm along with his hand was instantly bitten off by the faceless statue, who chewed vigorously!
While chewing, the corner of its mouth even showed a strangely eerie smile.
Despite not having any eyes or other facial features.
Lin Xiwen felt as if the statue was staring at him, staring at his throat….
“What kind of monster is this! Why are there such terrifying things in a Foundation Establishment cultivator’s Spiritual Government?!!!”
At this moment, in front of the statue where he had no power, Lin Xiwen felt like a dying soul!
Forget about taking over the body, forget about living a third life… those thoughts are all thrown far away from him.
At this moment, there’s only one thought in his mind:
Escaping!
Escaping from here!
With this thought, a ruthless look flashed across his heart.
Without any hesitation, the body formed by his remnant spirit suddenly exploded!
The faceless statue seemed caught off guard by Lin Xiwen’s lion-hearted act, failing to respond in time.
With the help of this explosion, Lin Xiwen’s remnant soul immediately regained control.
Even though he was only left with his head, he still fiercely struggled to escape the temple!
“Mmm!”
Within the temple, a faceless statue roared angrily.
However, it seemed to be unable to leave its shrine, and could only watch Lin Xiwen’s broken body fly away helplessly.
Nevertheless, it was quickly attracted to the scattered limbs within the temple.
It opened its mouth wide, a suction gathering Lin Xiwen’s remains and swallowing them…
“Hu? ”
Along with a momentary daze, when Lin Xiwen burst out of the Spiritual Government and saw daylight, a surge of triumphant relief welled up in his heart!
Remembering what just happened… No! He did not even dare to recall that experience!
It was terrifying!
Even more horrifying than that Sword Cultivator!
That Zhao-surnamed Sword Cultivator was strong, but his strength was clear and evident.
But the thing within this Tianmen Cult Cultivator’s Spiritual Government was strangely causing him to feel an uncontrollable surge of fear from the bottom of his heart.
This fear, even when he saw this Tianmen Cult Cultivator, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe.
Before this kind of fear, even the great terror between life and death seems minimal.
“Hu? ”
The gale blew, and Lin Xiwen’s remnant soul quivered suddenly.
“Not good!”
“My soul is too damaged! I must seize a body quickly, or else it will be blown away by this heaven and earth’s gale!”
He quickly looked around.
Upon seeing that Tianmen Cult Cultivator, his heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly moved on.
He didn’t even have time to avoid this disaster, let alone provoke it.
However, as he looked around, apart from this Tianmen Cult Cultivator, there were only some Spirit Beasts, and no second-person at all.
And given the state of his soul’s fragmentation, if he does not seize a body immediately, his soul would disperse and die.
This was totally unacceptable to him in any case.
His situation was critical, but many years of cultivation had made him even calmer.
He swept his gaze over the few Spirit Beasts next to the Tianmen Cult Cultivator and a thought flashed in his mind.
“There’s no hope with the Cultivator…but, there might be a chance with the Spirit Beasts!”
Thinking of this, he immediately set his sight on the most eye-catching ape.
It was somewhat similar to the Mountain Moving Ape.
However, it had a body of silver fur and it was also an upper grade Class II Spirit Beast, making it stand out.
“No, this ape beast seems to be surrounded by the power of thunder and lightning, and its soul is also quite powerful. I can’t seize it…”
Souls are most afraid of lightning, so he immediately gave up and set his sights on an azure Spirit Turtle nearby.
However, the aura on this Spirit Turtle led him to choose to give up as well.
It was only Class I upper grade, and it seemed to have been infested by the Yin Devouring Insect. If he chose to seize the body of this Spirit Turtle, his spiritual power and blood essence would quickly be drained, causing him to die.
“That only leaves two options.”
He turned to look at two Class II middle grade Spirit Chickens.
The spiritual aura on them was quite strong, but the strength of their souls was very obvious.
There was a male and a female.
“This Tianmen Cult Cultivator seems to be good at cultivating Spirit Beasts.” Lin Xiwen thought.
Quickly, he made his choice.
His remnant soul instantly crushed into the head of the male Spirit Chicken.
The male Spirit Chicken paused slightly, then its eyes blinked rapidly, becoming subtly more animated.
But soon, the spirit in the eyes of the male Spirit Chicken quickly receded.
As if it had once again become the stunned creature it once was.
Wang Ba shook his head.
He had just felt something trespass his Spiritual Government.
But before he could react, that thing seemed to have run out again.
Looking around, when he saw the body of Master Lin, he squinted his eyes.
A suspicion arose in his heart.
Having packed up his things, he called Wu Monkey King over.
“Here, this is your reward.”
Wang Ba smilingly handed a jug of chicken essence and a basket of spirit fruits to Wu Monkey King.
Wu Monkey King bared its teeth, revealing big yellow ones, then carefully held these items in its arms.
“Come, you also have a share.”
He looked at the Azure Spirit Turtle huddled nearby. Although it was an experimental host for the Yin Devouring Insect, he still patted its turtle head and stuffed a pile of spirit fruits into its mouth.
Jia 16 had already come up.
Wang Ba patted their chicken head and casually touched their belly: “Go back and lay eggs for me quickly!”
He casually tossed them some chicken feed.
Finally, he tried to pat the seemingly slow-reacting Jia 15 and also fed it some chicken feed.
Only after these Spirit Beasts all finished eating did he collect them all in the Spirit Beast Bag.
Turning to look at Master Lin’s body again, there was a trace of a profound smile on Wang Ba’s face.
Then, he flicked his sleeve, stepped onto his flying Magic Tool, and headed directly towards Tianmen Cult..
