Chapter 1328: Chapter 1322: The White Jade Immortal
The immortal that had parasitized Linghu Xian’s body, the White Jade Immortal, opened its arms, maintaining a noble posture even within the seal, facing these humans who had come to seek immortal power.
It was very satisfied. It had guessed right; beneath the Blood Moon, these people would definitely seek its help, grasping at this final life-saving straw!
“…”
Ahead, the members of the Li Clan watched the lofty White Jade Immortal expressionlessly.
Then, they exchanged a glance, each seeing the sheer speechlessness in the others’ eyes, and turned around in unison.
Hearing the chaotic sound of footsteps, the White Jade Immortal, still immersed in self-intoxication, froze. Looking down, it saw the Li Clan group about to leave…
“Hey!” The White Jade Immortal’s gaze turned slightly cold. Though extremely anxious inside, it feigned calmness and snorted, “Who wishes to coexist with me?”
At this, the clansmen stopped in their tracks and began conspiring loudly.
Li Tianqi waved his hand dismissively. “I definitely don’t want this kind of thing inside my body. Bewitchment aside, It seems to have a mental problem.”
“I don’t need it either.” Li Kuanghua furrowed her brows.
“Noisy and foolish,” Li Chang’an let out a bitter laugh.
“…You people…”
The White Jade Immortal was absolutely furious!
The Li Clan members turned back around, their brows furrowed as they watched the angry immortal.
Back then, the White Jade Immortal residing inside Linghu Xian was, to put it bluntly, an unlucky bastard.
This entity was merely an ordinary immortal, stronger than a Half-Step Body Integration cultivator, yet inferior in strength to a true Body Integration expert.
The White Jade Immortal had always been in a state of suppression under Linghu Xian.
Bewitch Linghu Xian? At most, it had provided Linghu Xian with special methods undetectable by the world, granting him immortal power and immortal arts.
However, due to Linghu Xian’s ambition and madness, the White Jade Immortal hadn’t even dared to lend its power to him.
Ever since acquiring intelligence about half-immortals from Zhao Guang, the clan members had set their minds on becoming ‘half-immortals’.
The family also held the Immortal Infant, but the Immortal Infant was clearly not something an ordinary person could suppress.
If the immortal was stronger than the host, the host would end up exactly like the weakened Linghu Xian—devoured clean.
The current White Jade Immortal was clearly in a well-fed state, right on the critical verge of a breakthrough.
“Lu Niang said that if we devour It, the Dao-Comprehending realm strength It swallowed from Linghu Xian will feed back into us, allowing us to reach the Half-Step Body Integration realm.
Through It, we will possess enough foundation to push open the gates of the Dao realm.”
Li Chang’an pondered for a moment and said, “Coexisting with an immortal is our only option.”
“Hahaha, this is your only path!” the eavesdropping White Jade Immortal laughed wildly.
The Li Clan members remained deep in thought.
Laughing, It began to pick a co-host.
Pointing at Li Chang’an, It was just about to speak when its expression suddenly changed.
Peering through Li Chang’an’s body, It saw a long spear.
The long spear emanated a Dao-Integration realm aura; the spear spirit gazed at It with apathetic indifference, haughty and capable of piercing through anything!
The White Jade Immortal could even sense that if It entered Li Chang’an’s body, the spear spirit would devour It entirely, and then pierce It through without hesitation.
“You…”
Its hand pointed toward Li Tianqi, but then shrank back.
This kid had a tortoise shell inside his body, and array formations were plastered everywhere within him.
It didn’t know what this tortoise shell was, but it served as the most natural array foundation in the world, capable of suppressing everything and grasping a sliver of survival amidst death.
The tortoise shell was welcoming It…
“Just what kind of monsters are these two???”
The White Jade Immortal gnashed its teeth and fixed its gaze on the little bean sprout.
Unable to see through her, It put on a gentle expression. “Mortal girl, this immortal shares a karmic bond with you. Have you ever heard of immortal arts?”
Li Kuanghua, who was discussing with her clansmen, was momentarily stunned.
She looked at the White Jade Immortal with a bizarre expression. “You’re actually picking and choosing? Are you sure about this?”
“I…”
Before the White Jade Immortal could speak, Li Kuanghua extended her hand with a bizarre look on her face.
In her palm rested the Buddha-Demon Lotus Platform.
The bloodline power of the Ancient Heavenly Demon Maiden Bloodline materialized into a humanoid form, curling its body and exuding a blend of two forces that simultaneously restrained immortals and countered each other.
From this lotus platform, the White Jade Immortal sensed three extreme threats!
It must have had its mind clouded by the corpse oil of Linghu Xian to have chosen this person. Even a Heavenly Immortal wouldn’t do something so foolish.
“I am not sure.”
Maintaining its immortal demeanor, the White Jade Immortal haughtily stared at Li Tianming. “You’re the one.”
Just this mortal, whose face was written with innocence and whose eyes were clear to the point of stupidity!
It believed that through a brief submission, escaping the Li Clan’s seal and escaping the bindings of the Great Golden Immortal outside this ancient tree, It would be able to break through this person’s body.
Of course, if this person obeyed the immortal’s will, It might not mind taking him in as an immortal kin to witness Its advancement into a Heavenly Immortal.
“Me?”
Li Tianming blinked, his legs squeezed together as he pinched the corner of his clothes, looking left and right at his clansmen to ask for their opinions.
“Yes, just you!” The White Jade Immortal crossed its arms over its chest, striking a perfectly noble immortal posture.
Three days later.
Li Tianming sat cross-legged beneath the Old Tree. His Second Grandaunt watched over him, and the Old Tree, along with Lu Niang resting upon it, also kept an eye on him.
White mist rippled across his body.
“This child of your family is a bad seed; by all rights, he should have died young,” Lu Niang remarked to Li Yaoqing.
She was full of curiosity. For someone like Li Tianming, let alone being rejected by heaven and earth, his innate evil thoughts made him unable to control himself from committing utterly heartless acts.
Sooner or later, he would be killed by the world, or become a demon overlord, yet still unable to escape the fate of divine retribution.
But paradoxically, the Li family currently harbored a demon overlord with the deepest evil thoughts, and another with a Childlike Heart.
A natural-born demon like Li Tianming was living perfectly well without having turned into a demon.
In the sky above Azure Cloud Prefecture, an eccentric person was sheltering the Li Clan; despite her meager strength, she was doing everything in her power.
Over her years spent in the Li family, Lu Niang had felt much emotion.
Mortals always refused to yield to destiny, yet drifted like duckweed along with it, resisting it all the while.
Li Tianming and Li Yunbing of the Li Clan were precisely this kind of anomaly in the mortal realm.
“He was born this way, like this from birth.”
Li Yaoqing looked at Li Tianming with a gentle gaze.
“My fourth sister said that our family’s strength was meager back then. To survive in this era, we committed many wrongs and were destined to face divine retribution.
When this child came into the world, it seemed as if all our sins fell upon him alone. We had two choices: kill him, or disregard the eyes of the world, just like him.”
“Clearly, you chose the latter,” Lu Niang smiled. “I hope you can suppress him, otherwise…”
Otherwise…
The White Jade Immortal currently inside Li Tianming’s body definitely knew why.
Li Tianming sat cross-legged. He didn’t understand why the White Jade Immortal had chosen him, chosen to enter his body—a place that even he himself didn’t dare to set foot in.
He looked inward at his soul.
It was a place of madness and evil.
The soul often formed its own world based on the host’s Spiritual power and personality.
Li Tianming frequently felt that he was not the master of this body, for he had no avatar; within his soul lay an Asura hell.
A pitch-black sun hung high above, pouring down black rain. The damp earth was riddled with fissures, exuding black mist laced with the power of ‘pollution’.
Originating from nowhere, spine-tingling wails and sobs filled the entire soul world.
“Splash… splash!”
On the muddy ground, someone was sprinting forward, stomping through small puddles.
It was a ‘Li Tianming’ with a face full of gloom and an evil smile. He finished whistling and called out eerily, “White Jade Immortal, where are you? Here I come!”
Barely had this ‘Li Tianming’ finished shouting.
Another ‘Li Tianming’ flew across the cloudy sky. This one was utterly mad and possessed a ferocious countenance. His voice was hoarse.
“Hide! Hahaha, we’ve been cooped up here for far too long, and now something interesting has arrived. An immortal… an immortal! Hahahaha!!!”
“White Jade Immortal, I’m coming to find you.”
“Hide well, and let me play to my heart’s content!”
“Based on the tracks, It should have gone west. However, it’s highly likely to be a smokescreen, just being too clever for its own good.”
“…”
Behind a large boulder.
Black rain fell upon Its flawless white jade body. The White Jade Immortal paid absolutely no heed to the stains.
At the very beginning, It had opened Its arms to look down upon the Li Clan members; now, inside Li Tianming’s body, It spread Itself flat, trying to press as closely against the large boulder as possible.
It squatted in a bizarre posture, shivering all over, as the voices of various ‘Li Tianming’s echoed throughout the soul world.
Its forehead was covered in cold sweat as It despairingly surveyed the sunless, dark soul world.
“How could there be such a world? Just what… what in the world did I choose?!!”
If the White Jade Immortal were given another chance, It would definitely not be deceived by appearances.
Even being killed alongside Linghu Xian back in Grandhaven Prefecture and falling into oblivion would have been better.
Now… even back when the immortals ruled the world and were overthrown by living beings, It had never felt such sheer despair.
The moment It entered Li Tianming’s body, It saw fourteen completely different ‘Li Tianming’s.
Compared to the innocent Li Tianming It had seen with Its own eyes, these people were practically fourteen demon overlords.
In just three short days, It had already experienced no less than a hundred forms of cruel torture.
An immortal’s bewitchment had absolutely no effect in Li Tianming’s world, because they themselves inherently possessed the most evil desires in the world.
“Boom!”
The White Jade Immortal’s body suddenly stiffened.
A sound emerged from the large boulder behind It, and a hoarse voice whispered in Its ear, “Idiot. Didn’t you find it strange for a boulder to appear in a soul world?”
The White Jade Immortal stiffly turned Its neck to look behind.
“I win this round; you belong to me now!”
Turning Its head, It found Li Tianming’s hand already gripping Its throat. Behind Li Tianming lay the instruments of torture used for death by a thousand cuts.
[Special Event — White Jade Immortal]
[Your descendant Li Tianming is attempting to coexist with the White Jade Immortal, acquiring immortal power and seeking the path to becoming a half-immortal.]
[Through the trials involving Li Tianming and the immortal, your family has seen the possibility of resisting immortals.]
…
Within Grandhaven Prefecture, the majority of whose land had been occupied, just inside the borders of the Blood Moon.
An immortal kin radiated a bizarre black light from his eyes. Li Yunbing’s evil thoughts eroded this immortal kin as he headed deeper into the Blood Moon.
…
On the road toward the Auric Empire and the Cultivator Alliance.
Li Changyao pushed Li Changsheng, crossing the Endless Forest.
From his wheelchair, Li Changsheng’s gaze pierced through the forest, peering deep into the Endless Forest.
He saw the Wu Tribe people fleeing to avoid the Blood Moon. The Human Emperor’s Eye of Authority, harboring pity for the suffering of the common people, continued to influence him.
Behind him, Li Changyao looked toward the direction of the family and hesitated.
“Brother, Grandpa Tianming has also become a half-immortal. The elders say that if one’s abilities are sufficient, they can suppress immortals. I…”
“If you try it, you will definitely be eaten by an immortal. With something so dangerous, it’s best if we siblings don’t attempt it.” Li Changsheng shook his head.
Suddenly, there was a babbling sound.
Li Changyao furrowed her brows, pointing at the Immortal Infant in Li Changsheng’s arms. “You say it’s dangerous, so why are you holding It?”
The pupils of Li Changsheng’s eyes radiated a golden light, exuding an aura of suppression over heaven and earth that made the Immortal Infant shrink its neck back.
He grinned. “The Auric Empire and the Cultivator Alliance Nations are dangerous places. I need to bring a dog along. Furthermore…”
“I have now reached the second tier of Qi Condensation, and can break through to the first tier of Qi Condensation at any time. I am already cautious enough.”
