Chapter 3727: Chapter 1807: Half Ancestor
"Jin Ren?"
"I’m here."
"Here, my ass! Did you go to Qianshi just to stroll around? Have you forgotten something important?"
"I’m working on it. Qianshi seems a bit strange. Perhaps they’re waiting for us to leave a tainted mark so that they can turn around and trap us."
"The situation on Mournful’s side is already settled, and you’re still just strolling?"
"No, boss, I call this ’waiting for the right opportunity’!"
Waiting for an opportunity?
What opportunity are you waiting for?
Are you waiting for Elder Dao the Flamboyant’s Way of the Heavens’ energy movement?
Xu Xiaoshou sensed something was off. After wrapping up affairs in Mournful, he immediately focused more mental energy on Jin Ren in Qianshi, trying to establish more contact.
In fact, he divided his attention, and from the start, he was aware of the movements in Qianshi.
Although Jin Ren’s actions on the Qianshi side were a bit slow, they were still understandable.
Even if he encountered the chase from the army of Divine Puppets as soon as he arrived, relying on Ultimate Giant and other second awakenings, he could still push through—no big deal.
Dao Qiongcang was causing trouble from behind the scenes.
This was better than Dao Qiongcang doing nothing at all.
Xu Xiaoshou suppressed his eagerness at the time, slowed his pace, and focused more on the Ghost Ancestor.
But once the affairs with the Ghost Ancestor were settled and his mind returned to the right track, he realized something was wrong.
"Jin Ren is fiercely battling the Divine Puppet army in Qianshi, yet there isn’t a single demi-saint showing up in the Qianshi Emperor Realm?"
"Is the Qianshi Holy Emperor blind and cannot see anything?"
The answer was clearly no.
With such a commotion, anyone would be eager to come and witness the spectacle.
Qianshi is not like Wurao, not a war-ravaged, deserted place.
So, tracing it back, everything happening now could only be the handiwork of the Qianshi Holy Emperor.
"But, isn’t Qianshi supposed to prohibit Divine Puppets?"
"If this isn’t Dao Qiongcang causing trouble, but the Qianshi Holy Emperor playing tricks, it means the Qianshi Holy Emperor also plays with Divine Puppets and Divine Secret?"
Strange!
Too strange!
Everything visible seems false, like being kept in the dark... wait!
Xu Xiaoshou’s pupils dilated, immediately considering the possibility that everything he saw related to Qianshi through Jin Ren, from the beginning, was fake.
"Impossible, the fantasy realm has no effect on me..."
But Jin Ren hadn’t undergone Spirit Awakening; he only went to Qianshi with half of a residual intent, limited in power!
"Impossible, Jin Ren also has the Super Taoization Intent Dao Disc; ordinary illusions can be easily seen through, and even the Guidance can be avoided..."
But Dao Qiongcang has Super Taoized the Memory Path, and even facing him with my true body, I must tread carefully, afraid of getting caught.
Unless the Qianshi Holy Emperor could resist the Super Taoization of "memory," even as a Holy Emperor, wouldn’t he still be at the mercy of Dao Qiongcang?
In other words, the Qianshi Holy Emperor must also be Super Taoized in at least one of the three paths of memory, guidance, or the Great Path of Will!
"Jin Ren has fallen..."
Upon reaching this final conclusion, Xu Xiaoshou’s heart trembled slightly.
The last piece of the Ghost Ancestor’s three pieces of loyal advice "Don’t go to Qianshi" suddenly carried the weight of a finale, almost stifling Xu Xiaoshou.
"They won’t want to cripple my ’second true body’ too, will they?" Xu Xiaoshou immediately imagined the worst outcome.
There was precedent for this.
With the Super Taoization of the Technique Dao Disc, Xu Xiaoshou saw the Cursed Yin.
The Cursed Yin had previously been toyed with in the Divine Relics by the Vanishing Technique combined with Independence, and although timely responses were made then.
But with Cursed Yin’s cunning, one can immediately know how much pressure this combination skill set would bring once I continued to grow.
He did nothing else but influenced the future through the past with a single trick of "Reverse Inheritance," and banned the "Vanishing Technique" and "Independence" altogether.
"But that was Cursed Yin. He is the Ancestral God, able to do so, I concede!" Xu Xiaoshou felt he had played too much, yet he was a bit incredulous:
"The Qianshi Holy Emperor, just a Holy Emperor, how could he possibly control the ’second true body,’ or even disrupt the connection between Jin Ren and me..."
"Memory? Did he alter what Jin Ren saw and heard in Qianshi, or did he change the memories reflected back to me by Jin Ren?"
"The only time Dao Qiongcang nearly caught me was when I tricked him through Jin Ren in the Divine Relics, and his plan fell apart..."
Dao Qiongcang, is he someone with a magnanimous heart?
No!
He holds grudges terribly!
If he and the Qianshi Holy Emperor share everything, once Jin Ren is caught and taken but not killed, does it not mean that I can never split out another Jin Ren, effectively rendering the second true body, the second awakening, obsolete through indirect means?
"Close the net!"
Considering thus far, Xu Xiaoshou did not hesitate to end Jin Ren’s journey to the Five Great Holy Emperor Families early.
He had no desire to explore the Qianshi Emperor Realm anymore.
This cursed place was more disgusting than the Mournful Emperor Realm.
Mournful at least had the Ghost Ancestor showing some goodwill, whereas the Dao Qiongcang involved in the collusion, no matter how much they outwardly showed enmity, intimately knew not of it.
"Jin Ren, I’m sorry. I have to kill you with my own hands."
The true body always holds the ultimate power over the life and death of the second true body. As soon as the thought came, Xu Xiaoshou sensed that Jin Ren was dead.
There wasn’t even a scream sent back; it was an Absolute Nirvana in body, spirit, and will, with no chance of rising again.
So smoothly!
So smoothly that it made one’s heart race.
It felt as if Jin Ren died, but Jin Ren was still alive, extremely contradictory.
"Really dead?"
Whether Jin Ren was truly dead could be easily verified.
Within the same spacetime, there is always only one second true body; if Jin Ren were alive, Xu Xiaoshou couldn’t produce a second one.
He immediately verified it, spending half his strength to split another second true body from himself.
"..."
The Cursed Yin wind howled in the Ghost Buddha Realm.
