I Am Loaded With Passive Skills

Chapter 3238: Chapter 1640: With empty sleeves and a fulfilled intent, the hexagram of Decrease is now fully resolved_2

"What are you doing?"

He showed a wary expression.

Xu Xiaoshou took a sidestep, slightly standing in front of Erzhu.

Although Cao Erzhu, from inside out, from soul to body, had been violated entirely by Dao Qiongcang.

It's still better to touch less if possible.

After all, even he feels chills seeing Dao Qiongcang unenthusiastically helping Yue Gongli reshape her physique.

Can that body still be used?

Will he wake up from his sleep frightened, or perhaps from choking?

"Are you even guarding against me?" Hallmaster Dao found this amusing, letting out a laugh.

Xu Xiaoshou: "A gentleman does no harm."

Erzhu looked perplexed, viewing Brother Shou's thin silhouette shielding him and mused over the profound statement.

What does "A gentleman does no harm" mean?

A gentleman won't guard against you, but I guard against you, so I am a villain…is Brother Shou scolding himself?

Or does it mean, I won't guard against a gentleman, but I guard you, indicating you are a villain… is Brother Shou scolding Dao Qiongcang?

Erzhu scratched his head, pondered hard, and eventually exclaimed in realization.

Dao Qiongcang laughed indulgently at the simple-minded Erzhu.

Xu Xiaoshou likes to play with these mystifying matters; the best approach is simply to ignore him:

"I need to reconnect this nephew's soul body back to his physique."

"If I'm not inside his body, no one will assist, and the longer the spirit and flesh are separated, the more damages there will be."

"This goes beyond memories, including foundational roots and other aspects, understand?"

I don't understand...

Xu Xiaoshou shook his head, indicating Dao Qiongcang to move aside, I can't do it, but I can try.

Dao Qiongcang, without respect to Yue Gongli's remnant soul, but considerably respectful towards the combatant Lord Shou, dismissively stepped aside, smiling.

"Erzhu, it might hurt a bit later, just follow my lead."

"Mhm, mhm."

Erzhu deeply trusted Brother Shou, nodding continuously.

Immediately, Xu Xiaoshou unleashed the Life Dao Disc, employing the Phantom Swords Technique and Spirits Controlling Trickery to control Erzhu's compliant soul, integrating it back into his physique.

He had never done this before.

He had assisted in separating spirit from flesh but never in merging them.

But everyone has a first time, Xu Xiaoshou carefully observed Cao Erzhu's life diagram, through changes in Path Principles diagram, and cautiously attempted the integration.

It went smoothly.

The Life Upanishad truly is powerful.

Though it was his first time integrating spirit and flesh, and it was indeed painful, Erzhu clenched his teeth without crying out, showing remarkable endurance.

Just when it was about to succeed...

"Buzz!"

Cao Erzhu's life diagram suddenly changed, dimming rapidly, as if on the brink of death.

What's happening?

Xu Xiaoshou was alarmed.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that there were two souls sticking together in Erzhu's body, nearly fused into one under his catalyzation of the vital life force.

Until this moment, that second soul stayed silent.

Who are you, occupying my precious Erzhu's body... wait!

Xu Xiaoshou's pupils trembled as he suddenly remembered something, his face turning pale with shock.

Damn, The Divine is still here!

Did he practice Independence, why is his presence so low?

No, this guy hasn't said a word from start to finish...

Even when Bazhun'an arrived, he didn't even greet them.

Such a miser with words, is he practicing Mute Zen?

"The Divine!"

"I'm here."

"Come out, what are you doing mute, Erzhu might die because of your game."

"I can't come out."

The Divine naturally wasn't joking.

With this statement, Xu Xiaoshou recalled the scene from the second world of the Fantasy Sword Technique, where Four Sacrifice The Divine burst the Cursed Yin's physique.

He learned Four Sacrifice, just that unless it's desperate, he truly dares not use it.

Sacrifice is different, not like ordinary people's physique once destroyed can be restored by finding heavenly resources and earthly treasures.

It exchanges sacrifice for power, as if naturally bodiless.

This 'one-for-one' burst is indeed extreme, but the consequences are severely grave. At least The Divine can't easily reconstitute a physique for quite a while.

Ancient martial arts are just this simple and crude.

So are Sacrifice, Soul Sacrifice, Sacrifice Intent, and Sacrifice Myself.

If Four Sacrifice means sacrificing everything, Xu Xiaoshou can hardly imagine the power that could momentarily burgeon.

But he can foresee the result:

The person will no longer exist, even their existence itself would be erased from people's memory.

Even reviving Medicine Ancestor would probably be beyond remedy.

Only then can it be said, The Divine was genuinely fierce!

And decisive enough, preemptively eliminating many troubles!

...

"I can help."

Dao Qiongcang volunteered proactively, as if expecting this development:

"I can provide a Heavenly Mechanism Puppet, The Divine can temporarily reside within, though still unable to control a physique, it can serve as a 'buffer'."

"Let's resurrect one first, nephew Erzhu is more important... hm, women and children are important, the elder is not, my Xu, don't you agree?"

Why does this sound familiar?

Startled, Xu Xiaoshou looked back; no way, Elder Dao the Flamboyant, are you holding a grudge, I just casually said that...

"I refuse."

Before Xu Xiaoshou could refuse, The Divine had already secretly communicated telepathically:

"Xu Xiaoshou, I don't want to talk to Dao Qiongcang, you help me refuse all his kind and unkind intentions."

"If possible, help me resurrect my physique; if not, please let me continue to reside in Erzhu's body."

"I can protect him, and Erzhu can protect me, no need for Heavenly Mechanism Puppet, no need for Great Protection Spell."

This statement was straightforward, deserving deep thought.

The Divine actually feared Dao Qiongcang to such an extent, not willing to utter an extra word...

Hmm, he's right, talkative as Yue Gongli, just earlier almost got killed.

The more one talks, the more mistakes; speak less, less mistakes; say nothing, no mistakes.
