Chapter 70 [Jiaozhu] Alien Species Wants Shen Lian's Body
If Chen Lian guessed correctly, Yan Ru was not trying to recruit a disciple through this competition, but was looking for someone.
What are you looking for?
The winner of the competition can obtain a trace of spiritual energy from the spirit pearl. Then Chen Lian guessed that Yan Ru would give the spirit pearl to the final winner?
This idea was quickly wiped out by Shen Lian. The spirit pearl was cultivated by the goddess with great effort, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. How could she give it to an ordinary person?
Chen Lian really couldn't understand what Yan Ru was going to do. He sat in front of the window. It was autumn now and the wind was a bit strong. The wind was blowing outside the house, blowing a fallen leaf to his table.
Ajahn put his cloak on him and said, "It's getting dark, so go get some rest. You have to get up early tomorrow."
After listening to A Jiang's words, Chen Lian went to bed obediently.
In the second round, he did not participate. He asked A Jiang to transform into his appearance and sit there for him, while he was going to Xishan secretly. He wanted to see what Yan Ru was up to.
As soon as he arrived at Xishan, a disciple reported to Yan Ru that someone had sneaked into Xishan. Yan Ru didn't care much. She had known that someone had been keeping an eye on Yinyou Valley for a long time. She didn't know who it was, and this competition was to catch that person.
She glanced at the leaders present and knew clearly in her heart that these people did not come here just to watch the competition, but wanted to see the spirit pearls, and some even wanted to get them.
A few days ago, Yin Yougu almost failed. Someone broke into her room and wanted to take away the spirit pearl. She left spiritual energy on that person. If she took out the spirit pearl, the spiritual energy would resonate with the spirit pearl, and then she would know who that person was.
If her guess was correct, that person would definitely come to Hidden Valley again, and then she would have to find this person out.
The two sides should face each other head-on tomorrow.
She stood up and said, "Everyone, there are some urgent matters that need to be handled. Please wait again. I will not spoil your fun."
She originally thought that the person who was going to fight against her would show up at the competition, but she didn't expect that he would sneak into Xishan again. So she would have to go and have a good meeting with him.
After Yan Ru left, A Jiang and Jing Yinchuan left the table one after another.
A Jiang was worried that Yan Ru would leave suddenly because Chen Lian had been discovered. Last night when Chen Lian asked him to pretend to be him, he agreed without hesitation. He asked Chen Lian what he was going to do, but Chen Lian didn't tell him the truth, so he didn't ask.
Just now, he saw a disciple talking to Yan Ru and he began to panic, so he casually combed his hair and left.
He cast a spell on the marriage bead on his wrist, and the marriage bead left his hand, floated in the air, and then guided him to find Chen Lian.
He headed westward until he reached the top of the western mountain. The marriage bead returned to his wrist. He looked around but didn't see Shen Lian.
"Who is it?" A female voice came. A Jiang remembered that it was Yan Ru's voice. He turned around and met Yan Ru's eyes.
"Sect Master Shen?" Yan Ru narrowed her eyes slightly. She hadn't seen anyone when she came back, so Shen Lian must have followed her. "No, who are you?"
Yan Ru suddenly realized something was wrong. The person in front of her did not have the same temperament as Chen Lian. The look in his eyes was not right. She could see that there was ambition in Shen Lian's eyes, but at this moment Shen Lian did not have that ambition.
Ajahn transformed into his original appearance.
"It's you?" Yan Ru had some impression of A Jiang. Wasn't this the person who took Shen Lian away in Hongling? Why was he impersonating Shen Lian? Where had Shen Lian gone? Could it be that the person the disciple had just reported who had sneaked into Xishan was Shen Lian?
"Why are you here? Where is Sect Master Shen?"
A Jiang looked at Yan Ru. The marriage beads had guided him all the way to this place, but he couldn't see Chen Lian. He thought Yan Ru had kidnapped someone, but judging from her reaction, that wasn't the case.
Then there was no need for him to stay here, so he turned around and left.
"Stop!" Yan Ru summoned her magical weapon - the Qianchen Mirror. She pointed the mirror into the sky and cast a spell. A strand of golden thread emerged from the mirror surface and tied up A Jiang.
"What advice do you have for me, goddess?" A Jiang turned around. He was in a hurry to find Chen Lian and had no time to waste with Yan Ru. However, he couldn't untie the silk thread that Yan Ru had tied on him.
"Where's Chen Lian?"
"I don't know."
"Why are you pretending to be Chen Lian?" Yan Ru didn't believe that A Jiang didn't know where Chen Lian was. If he didn't know, why would he pretend to be Chen Lian and attend the meeting on his behalf?
"I don't know."
Yan Ru didn't believe it.
Ah Jiang really didn't know why he was impersonating Chen Lian. He wasn't impersonating, he was just pretending. How was he impersonating? Pretending is not the same as impersonating.
He was entrusted by Shen Lian and he volunteered.
What they didn't know was that Shen Lian was sucked into Lingzhu's spiritual realm.
Chen Lian stood on the reef, surrounded by a deep blue sea. The waves gently hit the reef, and the sea breeze blew his hair.
He thought carefully about how he got here. He didn't know and couldn't remember too many details. He only knew that when he just entered Xishan, he felt a gravitational force pulling him. Then his eyes went black, and when he opened his eyes again, he arrived at this place.
The surroundings were dark and there was only the sea. There was no place to stand except the stones under his feet.
The sky felt somewhat oppressive, pressing down on the distant sea and also on him.
Suddenly a voice was heard.
"Are you Chen Lian? The loser whose ruthless path was broken?"
Shen Lian was obviously unhappy when he heard this. He looked around and didn't see anyone. Where did the voice come from?
He clenched his fists. He had concealed the fact that he was forced to speak ruthlessly very well. No third person knew about it. So how did the person who just spoke know about it?
Suddenly a feeling of shame spread over my heart.
"Who are you? Where are you?" Shen Lianhuo said. The more he couldn't see anyone, the angrier he became. He wished he could kill the person who spoke right away.
"Don't worry, I can satisfy the resentment in your heart and make you the overlord of the three realms. How about it?"
"Why should I trust you?"
"Hahaha—I'm the Lingzhu you're looking for." He wasn't the Lingzhu, he had taken over the Lingzhu's body. He was an alien species, and the real Lingzhu was already asleep. The alien species couldn't understand why Yan Ru, if she wanted to bring him out, wanted to destroy him, why she kept the Lingzhu in a vessel, and why she had used her divine blood to get rid of the alien species?
Didn't Yan Ru know that he and the Spirit Pearl were destined to live and die together? As long as the alien species' consciousness dissipated, the Spirit Pearl would naturally dissipate as well. They were one.
He and Lingzhu were born in the chaotic Demon Abyss, and they were one and the same. However, when Lingzhu was in the Demon Abyss, in order to balance the demonic energy, he became a little stronger, and he disappeared and slept for a while. Unexpectedly, he was taken away from the Demon Abyss after waking up.
Yan Ru used the divine blood to nourish him, hoping to destroy him and wake up Lingzhu, but she didn't know that Lingzhu was in a dormant state and could not resonate with the divine blood at all. Instead, Lingzhu absorbed the divine blood and became more powerful.
He no longer wanted to share one body with the Spirit Pearl, he wanted to find a new carrier.
"What?" Shen Lian was incredulous. "Spiritual Pearl?"
"Yes." In his eyes, he is Lingzhu, not an alien species. He was born with Lingzhu, and those people called him Lingzhu Lingzhu, so he is also Lingzhu. "I will help you realize your wish, but you also have to realize my wish."
Shen Lian thought for a while, then asked cautiously, "What is your wish?"
"I want your body, I want to be you, I want to leave."
"No, no way!" Shen Lian refused immediately. If he lost his body, then there would be no point in him becoming the overlord of the three realms.
"Isn't it your wish to become the overlord of the three realms?" The alien was confused. He had explored Shen Lian's past and knew what Shen Lian wanted most. "Do you still want to be with that mermaid? Do you still want that mermaid to hold you down?"
Of course, Chen Lian was not very willing, but he was willing. Now he still needed to rely on A Jiang to improve his cultivation.
"I can help you improve your cultivation so that you don't have to rely on him anymore. This deal is beneficial to both you and me."
Chen Lian still refused. He handed over his body. How could he know whether Lingzhu had dominated the Three Realms? Even if he had, it wasn't him. It was Lingzhu. He wanted to dominate the Three Realms on his own, not with the help of others.
He wanted to obtain the spirit pearl because he wanted to absorb its spiritual energy and improve his cultivation, not to be controlled by it.
"Thank you for your kindness. To dominate the three realms, I, Chen Lian, am enough."
"Really? But how long would it take for you to practice dual cultivation with the merman? Even though the merman is a spirit fetus, it's still a flesh body, not an immortal body. How much can you increase your cultivation by practicing dual cultivation with it? It's not even as good as a trace of my spiritual energy, right?"
Chen Lian clenched his fists. It was indeed true. The alien's words were true. These words touched his heart. "Don't worry about it."
After saying that, Shen Lian raised his hand, and a white rune surrounded him.
"What are you doing?"
Shen Lian wanted to find the location of the spirit pearl and absorb its spiritual energy, but what he didn't expect was that the surroundings were dead and there was no breath of life at all.
"You can't find me." The alien saw Shen Lian's intention. Shen Lian couldn't find him. Only if he wanted to, Shen Lian could find him. "You have to agree to this deal even if you don't agree to it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Lian felt the spiritual energy in his body flow back, and then the runes surrounding him dissipated. He felt an inexplicable increase in power in his body. That power was very strong, carrying some kind of...
Demonic Breath!?
Is it the devil's breath! ?
Chen Lian looked at the demonic energy overflowing from his palm in disbelief. He raised his hand and sent a force towards the sea surface, which immediately created huge waves.
"magic……"
A water mirror appeared in front of him, and his slender fingers unconsciously touched his brow, where the deep red magic seal suddenly appeared.
"I...how did I become like this!?"
"It's really strange that I can't enter your body." The alien said to himself. Seeing that Shen Lian was unwilling, he wanted to enter her body directly to control her. Unexpectedly, there was a spirit inside Shen Lian protecting him. It must be the essence of the spiritual mermaid that made him enter her body and then be ejected. Thirty percent of his magic power was transferred to Shen Lian, causing Shen Lian to become possessed. "But I have passed on my cultivation to you."
"Are you a demon?" Shen Lian couldn't believe it. Isn't the spirit bead spiritual energy? Why is it demonic breath?
"Yes, you may not know this yet. I am not sent down from Heaven as the goddess said, but from the Demon Abyss." The alien explained, "So this is the power you want. The demonic aura of the Demon Abyss is three times more domineering than that of the demon nobles."
Shen Lian frowned.
"It was the goddess who lied. She used so many lies to cover it up that she even believed it herself."
