202. Chapter 202 The Son Of Luck, Take Advantage Of The Fire!
Chapter 202: Son of Qi Luck, Seize the Opportunity!
Burp~!
Yao Lingling let out a satisfied burp.
Since being imprisoned by Liu Zimo, or rather, since it gained sentience, this was the most luxurious, delicious, and satisfying meal it had ever had!
The spiritual essence of a quasi-saint realm human cultivator!
Even in the Illusory Demon Realm, it could be considered a top-grade ingredient that was hard to come by!
At least, for Yao Lingling and the other spirit-devouring bugs below the saint realm, many of them would never have the chance to taste such a top-grade delicacy in their entire lives!
But now, without doing anything, this top-grade ingredient had been delivered right to its mouth!
[In that case, being imprisoned in this sea of consciousness doesn't seem so bad after all!]
[Liu Zimo is destined to be an unpredictable person. In less than a year, he has killed countless high-level human cultivators and high-level demon beasts. I can't even count them all with both hands!]
[If nothing unexpected happens, there will be even more godly and quasi-saint realm powerhouses dying at his hands in the future. This bug will have a great opportunity to reap the benefits!]
[As long as I have the same opportunity a few more times, I can break through the god realm and directly advance to the saint realm!]
[Hmph, once I break through to the saint realm, this sea of consciousness might not be able to hold me anymore!]
Yao Lingling began to indulge in self-hypnosis, with waves of thoughts surging.
Moreover, in order to lure Liu Zimo into incorporating the spiritual essence of another godly or quasi-saint realm into the sea of consciousness next time, Yao Lingling deliberately left behind half of Li Daoyan's spiritual essence when devouring it.
Of course.
More importantly, it was worried that if it ate alone, it would provoke Liu Zimo's dissatisfaction and he would directly kill it.
Only through mutual benefit and cooperation could they have a long-lasting partnership.
Outside the sea of consciousness.
Liu Zimo sensed Yao Lingling's fluctuating thoughts and the spiritual essence and soul essence it deliberately left behind, and couldn't help but smile.
This little clever bug was becoming more sensible.
He hadn't even warned or shown any dissatisfaction, yet Yao Lingling voluntarily gave up half of its essence.
Very well!
Although Liu Zimo had a way to completely annihilate Li Daoyan's spiritual essence and will that had invaded his sea of consciousness, it would require a great deal of mental effort and time.
After all, that was the spiritual essence and will of a top-level quasi-saint realm cultivator. Completely eradicating it was not something that could be done overnight.
If he accidentally exposed his own spiritual essence, he could be counterattacked by the other party.
No matter how you looked at it, it was much more convenient to directly lure Yao Lingling, the nemesis of spiritual cultivators, to take action.
Just like now, in just a few breaths of time, Yao Lingling completely devoured and annihilated Li Daoyan's spiritual essence, leaving no trace of hidden danger. It was simply perfect.
While silently absorbing and refining the extremely pure spiritual essence and soul essence that Yao Lingling deliberately left behind, Liu Zimo felt his mental power and soul strength skyrocket once again.
At the same time, he pondered that in the future, when encountering similar quasi-saints like Li Daoyan and Wenren Fazhen who didn't know any better, he must follow the same method.
First, force the opponent's spiritual essence out and incorporate it into the sea of consciousness, then kill their true body to share the opportunity.
In this way, he could harvest the benefits while refining the spiritual essence.
Killing two birds with one stone, it was simply too cost-effective!
It's a pity that Wenren Fazhen, with one strike, completely annihilated his soul, wasting his quasi-saint-level soul essence in vain!
Liu Zimo glanced down at the now-mud-like Wenren Fazhen, shaking his head in regret.
He was too impulsive just now, he must be more careful in the future.
Swish!
Liu Zimo waved his right hand, instantly collecting the bodies of Wenren Fazhen and Liu Daoyan into the [Eastern Pearl].
After all, these were the bodies of two quasi-saints. Even though they had turned into a pile of flesh, the immense spiritual energy contained within their blood and flesh did not dissipate in the slightest.
Now it was the perfect opportunity to make use of them and restore the vitality of the [Eastern Pearl].
After dealing with the two bodies, Liu Zimo's gaze fell on the grand hall of the Huoyun Palace in front of him.
The protective ancestral formation was still operating normally, enveloping all the houses and the grand hall within the formation, isolating them from any divine consciousness probing.
"Interesting, the entire mountain gate of the Huoyun Palace is actually a combination of treasures!"
"No wonder Wenren Fazhen said that their Huoyun Palace is the ancestor of all ancient refining sects!"
Having seen through the true and false of the Huoyun Palace, Liu Zimo couldn't help but sigh lightly.
Liu Zimo, who was already extremely familiar with array dao and refining techniques.
After inheriting five hundred points of basic refining experience from Wenren Fazhen and Liu Daoyan respectively, his knowledge and experience in refining reached an unprecedented height.
With just a glance, he could see the intricacies of the layout of the Huoyun Palace's mountain gate.
Looking at each house and each grand hall of the Huoyun Palace, even the foundation at the lowest level, they were all carefully refined treasures!
These treasures were combined and embedded in a special formation, collectively constructing the vast mountain gate of the Huoyun Palace.
It was precisely because of the interaction between these treasures, complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses.
The combined mountain gate of the Huoyun Palace had a connected aura and a unified formation, and its overall defensive ability was ten or even a hundred times higher than any individual treasure.
Even without activating the protective ancestral formation, the defensive ability of the Huoyun Palace's mountain gate was equivalent to that of a sacred artifact.
It was not a sacred artifact, but it was stronger than a sacred artifact!
The refining methods of the Huoyun Palace were truly extraordinary!
While Liu Zimo was observing the mountain gate of the Huoyun Palace, in the distant void, several divine consciousnesses were also peering at this place from afar.
In fact, when the Huoyun Palace announced its emergence and the opening of its mountain gate to recruit disciples, it had already attracted the attention of countless ancient powerhouses.
Although for Jiao Linglong, Hu Dalie, and the others, the names Huoyun Palace and Huoyun Saint were unfamiliar, they had never even heard of them.
But for those powerhouses who lived in even more ancient times, the names Huoyun Saint and Huoyun Palace were thunderous and could not be ignored!
After all, they were the first batch of true saints who achieved enlightenment in the early ancient era, and their strength was unfathomable!
And the Huoyun Palace was the inheritance left behind by the Huoyun Saint, the ancestor of all ancient refining sects!
Now that the Huoyun Palace had reappeared in the world, it was extremely attractive to many ancient sects that lacked spiritual treasures or sacred artifacts.
With this thought in mind, some people began to stir, one after another displaying their methods, wanting to investigate the true and false of the Huoyun Palace.
And then, they unexpectedly witnessed the scenes of Wenren Fazhen and Liu Daoyan falling one after another.
This young man, Liu Zimo, naturally fell into their sight as well.
"Fellow Daoists, do you recognize this person and know who his master is?"
"To be able to easily kill two quasi-saints like this, I'm afraid his strength is not weaker than ours, right?"
"Yes, that Wenren Fazhen is nothing special, with limited talent. It's already his limit to reach the level of a quasi-saint. I can easily subdue him with just one hand!"
"But Li Daoyan who came out later is not weaker than the top-level quasi-saints!"
"Why couldn't he even last a round against the opponent's hands?!"
"Do you guys feel familiar with the finishing move that young man used?"
"Yeah, it does seem familiar, a bit like the Star Moon Hall's [Shadow Killing Technique]!"
"Impossible, the Star Moon Hall's [Shadow Killing Technique] definitely doesn't have such powerful might!"
"I saw it clearly, the young man's instant explosive power has already surpassed his own strength by a hundredfold. Such a powerful secret technique, it can't be compared to the [Shadow Killing Technique]!"
"..."
Several divine thoughts silently communicated in the void.
They all felt fear towards the powerful combat strength Liu Zimo displayed, which was enough to threaten the lives of top-level quasi-saints.
Originally, the powerful beings who had some thoughts about the Fire Cloud Purple Gold Hammer and the Fire Cloud Palace were now retreating.
After all, Li Daoyan was a top-level quasi-saint just like them, but he couldn't even last a round against the opponent's hands and was beheaded by a single sword.
If they were standing in front of that young man, it was uncertain whether they could escape unscathed.
At least, among them, no one wanted to provoke this young man until they found a way to decipher his hidden killing technique.
"Heh, I've received accurate information!"
"This person is named Liu Zimo, a native of this era!"
"After the revival of the spiritual energy in this realm, Liu Zimo took advantage of the situation and his cultivation realm advanced rapidly. He seems to be the son of the era's fortune!"
"Oh, and there are rumors that this Liu Zimo is very likely the reincarnation of a figure from the late ancient era named Tongtian Daoist."
In a moment, Liu Zimo's identity and background were thoroughly investigated.
"A reincarnation?"
"Nonsense!"
"The humans of this era have unique souls and cannot be reincarnated. Otherwise, why would we seal ourselves in the void until now?"
"This makes sense. Reincarnation is not believable."
"But this young man was able to rise rapidly in such a short time and possess a cultivation strength not weaker than that of a quasi-saint. It's not completely baseless to say he is the son of the era's fortune."
"Everyone, we just emerged from our seal, and I'm sure none of us want to be suppressed by a junior, right?"
"The son of the era's fortune brings calamity when killed, but it doesn't mean we can't kill him!"
"Moreover, all the fortune and blessings of this entire world are gathered in one person. For us old-timers who fight against fate, it's not a good thing!"
"I wonder if you all have the courage to join me in killing him and seizing the fortune and blessings of this world?"
..."
Upon hearing this suggestion, everyone fell silent.
Although they were communicating across space, their auras were hidden, and no one knew each other's specific identities.
But at this moment, when someone proposed to kill the son of the era's fortune and divide the opportunity and fortune of this world equally, everyone guessed the identity of the person who made this suggestion.
Except for the Lord of the Netherworld Hall, Wankun Demon Lord, no one else would be so audacious as to plot against the son of the era's fortune in this way!
No one responded.
No one spoke up to oppose or raise objections.
At this moment, it seemed that everyone had tacitly agreed to the proposal of Wan Kun, the Demon Lord.
"Hehe, a bunch of hypocritical old foxes!"
"They want to share the immeasurable luck and opportunities on the Son of Qi's body, but they don't want to bear the consequences and incur the rejection and disgust of the will of heaven and earth!"
Wan Kun, the Demon Lord, spoke without any restraint:
"In that case, I'll take care of this villain myself!"
"You old guys, as long as you don't hinder me when the time comes, it'll be enough!"
Silence fell once again in the void.
Seeing this, Wan Kun, the Demon Lord, couldn't help but laugh.
For him, the lack of response was already the best answer.
These ancient relics that had been silent in the void for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years were indeed unwilling to be lonely and unwilling to be suppressed by a junior.
Even if the other party was the Son of Qi in this era, blocking their path and threatening their heritage, they would still dare to kill!
"With the deaths of Wenren Fazhen and Li Daoyan, the Fire Cloud Palace has become ownerless. Are any of you interested in joining forces to subdue it?"
After a moment, someone started to suggest through transmission.
"It is rumored that the Fire Cloud Palace was personally built and refined by the Fire Cloud Saint. Every building inside the mountain gate is a top-grade spiritual treasure!"
"Instead of letting it fall into Liu Zimo's hands for nothing, it's better for us brothers to join forces and subdue it!"
"This statement makes sense. The Fire Cloud Palace belongs to the ancient spirits, how can it fall into the hands of a junior from a later generation?"
"Moreover, I see that Liu Zimo is young and inexperienced, and may not be able to see the subtleties of the Fire Cloud Palace. If we let him act rashly, it will not only disrupt the layout of the Fire Cloud Palace, but he himself may also be in danger. If we take action at this time, it's not robbing, strictly speaking, it's helping him avoid disaster, it's an act of goodwill!"
"..."
"Tsk, a group of self-righteous old things. If you want to snatch someone else's opportunity, just say it directly. Why bother going around in circles?"
"Have you all made up your minds? If you have, let's all take action at the same time to suppress it! Otherwise, the Fire Cloud Palace will be taken away by the kid below, and you won't even have a chance to regret it! Don't forget, he still holds the sacred artifact of the Fire Cloud Palace! Even that kid with the Fire Cloud Purple Gold Hammer can easily subdue it. Who can guarantee that he doesn't have the means to subdue the Fire Cloud Palace?"
When Wan Kun, the Demon Lord, said this, all the divine thoughts present became still.
This was the reason why they had never liked Wan Kun, the Demon Lord.
He spoke too directly, blurting out all the big truths, making everyone feel extremely awkward every time.
"Alright, since everyone's opinions are unified again, let me take the lead!"
"By the way, I'll also test the reality of this Son of Qi!"
"I'll deal with Liu Zimo, and you guys take the opportunity to subdue the Fire Cloud Palace. Afterwards, we'll divide the treasures of the Fire Cloud Palace!"
Saying that, Wan Kun, the Demon Lord, took the lead.
A giant palm reached out directly from the sky and slapped straight towards Liu Zimo, who was standing in the Fire Cloud Palace!
