Chapter 590 Conspiracy
For Chu Ning, if the leader of the Nirvana Sect could notice the changes in his Nirvana body, he would never help.
No matter how attractive the conditions Zhou Li offered, he would flatly refuse them.
No matter how good the conditions are, you have to live long enough to spend them.
"I am not sure whether my master can discover the state of Nirvana body. The reason why I choose to test it at this time is because my master is in seclusion."
Zhou Li did not make up a story, but chose to answer truthfully.
With Fu Cang here, it would be useless even if he made up lies.
For Zhou Li, he also wanted to make sure whether his master could discover the abnormality of Nirvana's body, so he set up this trap.
This is his first step to save himself.
“Although this is a test, I am very confident that Master will not be able to detect the state of his Nirvana body during his retreat.”
Zhou Li looked at Chu Ning and said, "After learning the truth about the Nirvana Body, I conducted an experiment. When my master was in seclusion, I summoned the Nirvana Body. According to my master's original instructions, once this Nirvana Body is used, its Nirvana power will weaken, and he will have to inject the Nirvana power back into it. But after that, my master has not looked for me."
Zhou Li's words did not dispel Chu Ning's concerns. He frowned and said, "Is there a possibility that maybe your master found out but deliberately did not ask and noticed your plan."
When Chu Ning said this, Zhou Li and Fu Cang's expressions changed. This possibility does exist.
Especially Zhou Li, since he learned the truth about the Nirvana body, he recalled every little bit of his contact with Master and has gained a sufficient understanding of Master's character.
The master was a man of extremely deep thoughts and was very good at disguising himself. If he had not known the truth, he would never have believed that the master, who treated him like a son, actually wanted to make him a sacrifice for his nirvana and rebirth.
What Ji Yang said was not impossible. If the master knew about his actions but deliberately did not expose him...
Zhou Li and Fu Cang looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes. If this was true, then they were probably plotting something big.
"Brother Fu, why don't you tell the Palace Master about this? Maybe you can ask Brother Zhou to give up his evil ways and join our Holy Palace."
Chu Ning looked at Fu Cang. If the truth about the Nirvana body was exposed, it would be a huge blow to the entire Nirvana Sect. The reputation of the Nirvana Sect would plummet, and some talented monks would no longer join the Nirvana Sect.
As rival palace lords and elders, they should be happy to see this kind of thing, and may even add fuel to the flames.
As for Zhou Li, there was no question of betraying the Nirvana Sect. After all, it was his master who betrayed him first, and he was just trying to protect himself.
"Junior Brother Ji, do you think that the Holy Palace and Nirvana Sect have been neighbors for so many years, the Palace Master and his men would not have discovered something?"
Fu Cang smiled bitterly. Chu Ning was stunned and asked, "Brother, do you mean that the Palace Master and the others know the secret of the Nirvana Sect's leader?"
"The elders may not know, but the Palace Master should know something."
The Lord of the Holy Palace, as the lord of a palace and a powerful person who surpasses Dongxu, naturally knows more secrets than the elders. The Holy Palace and the Nirvana Sect are neighboring sects. It would be strange to say that the Lord of the Holy Palace does not know about the fact that the Lord of the Nirvana Sect used his disciples to achieve Nirvana and rebirth.
Knowing it but not taking any action and not exposing it, the deeper meaning behind this is worth exploring.
Chu Ning looked at Fu Cang with a strange look in his eyes. I don’t think that even the Palace Master would doubt him.
"Brother Ji, please don't misunderstand. I am not doubting the Palace Master. Our Saint Palace is different from the Nirvana Sect. In order to become the Palace Master, in addition to strength, one must also pass the Saint's test of conscience. This is the test left by the Saint. Every Palace Master who can pass the Saint's test of conscience has always been the most important to the sect."
Fu Cang guessed what Chu Ning was thinking and explained, "The Palace Master must know about this matter, but he has not disclosed it to the public. I think he has a reason for doing so. If Senior Brother tells the Palace Master about this, it may embarrass the Palace Master."
As they were all beings who had practiced for thousands of years, Chu Ning instantly understood the meaning of Fu Cang's words.
Chu Ning was more certain than Fu Cang that his own palace lord must know some secrets of the leader of the Nirvana Sect, and the reason was very simple.
Even the might of the mountain in his body resisted the power of Nirvana. With the realm of the Mansion Master, he could naturally sense that something was wrong with the power of Nirvana.
This was clearly a great opportunity to damage the reputation of the Nirvana Sect, but the Palace Master did not take action. There must be a reason for doing so.
Afraid of the leader of Nirvana Sect? Not wanting to completely break off relations with Nirvana Sect? These possibilities are not impossible.
If this is the case, and Senior Brother Fu informed the Palace Master of this matter, it would be equivalent to exposing the truth completely. As the Palace Master, he would have to make a statement, and the result would most likely be an all-out war between the Nirvana Sect and the Holy Palace.
The behavior of the leader of the Nirvana Sect is certainly despicable, but such things are not uncommon in the world of cultivation.
Seize the body!
Such rumors have always existed in the world of monks, but few people know about them.
If there really is a strong person who takes over the body of his disciple, the sect will cover it up. The reason is simple: the world of cultivators is still a place where strength speaks.
As for the elders of the Nirvana Sect, they wish the Sect Master would be reborn into Nirvana with increasing strength, as long as the Sect Master does not take over their bodies.
When Chu Ning was reading the jade slips at the Dan Tower in Danyu, one of them contained anecdotes about the sects in the Central Realm, and it mentioned a sect that existed ten thousand years ago.
This sect appeared in Jinglan Domain. Less than five thousand years after its establishment, it has already become one of the top forces in Jinglan Domain. The sect leader, in particular, is extremely powerful and has few rivals below the level of God Transformation.
Every year, the sect would set aside a huge amount of cultivation resources to recruit some talented disciples, and the treatment they received was no less than that of the top sects. Originally, the cultivators in Jinglan Domain thought that the sect was thrifty with its talent. It was not until later that a core disciple of the sect escaped from the sect and announced the sect's secret to the outside world that the entire Central Region learned about the sect's secret.
The leader of this sect has a method to possess someone else's body. As long as he finds a suitable cauldron, he can take over the body. The reason why this sect recruits so many talented disciples is to select the best cauldron for the leader.
The elders of the sect also knew about this, and they all cooperated with the sect master in finding the cauldron. The reason was that this method of possession could only be used to possess the bodies of cultivators below the level of God Transformation. These elders were all powerful God Transformation cultivators, so they were naturally not afraid of possession. On the contrary, the better the cauldron the sect master used to possess, the stronger his strength would be, and the sect would also rise accordingly, and naturally, these elders would be able to obtain more resources.
Under such circumstances, the entire sect's top leaders were extremely tacit in their understanding, except for that core disciple who was fortunate enough to discover the matter. He revealed the matter after escaping from the sect.
And on the third day after the news broke, the sect leader disappeared, all disciples of the sect were disbanded, and the elders were taken away by the top forces in Jinglan Domain.
On the surface, they are investigating the matter, but in reality, I'm afraid that many top experts are also tempted by this method of possessing another's body. After all, this is a kind of alternative reincarnation to some extent.
According to the records in the jade slip, this technique did eventually fall into the hands of a top-notch expert. Unfortunately, this technique is only useful for cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Realm, while cultivators in the Void Realm cannot rely on it to take over another's body.

"This matter still needs to be considered in the long run."
Chu Ning did not reject Zhou Li openly, not because he was a kind-hearted person, but because the power of Nirvana was useful to him.
After the power of Nirvana released by the Nirvana Pearl was suppressed and dissipated by the mountain's might, the original body far away in the northern border made a discovery. Nian Tangshan, which had not increased in height for so many years, actually grew by another ten feet.
Thinking of Tangshan, it has now reached a height of 97,000 feet!
Originally, Chu Ning thought that after entering the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, Nian Tangshan should be able to reach the 100,000 mark. However, what he didn't expect was that Nian Tangshan's level had remained stagnant for hundreds of years.
The 100,000-foot level is related to whether he can have a comprehensive understanding of the Mountain Sect.
He still has eleven Nirvana Pearls on him, but these eleven are far from enough, because there is still a gap of three thousand feet.
If Zhou Li could come up with enough Nirvana beads, he would still be willing to take the risk and give it a try. If he was really killed by the leader of the Nirvana Sect, it would only take hundreds of years to condense a new clone.
This deal is still a good deal.
However, Chu Ning estimated that Zhou Li could not produce three thousand Nirvana beads, so he did not take the initiative to make this request.
"Zhou Li, just do as Junior Brother Ji said. You have to make sure that your master can sense the changes in his Nirvana body during his retreat, then come and discuss this matter with Junior Brother Ji."
Fu Cang made the final decision. As the chief disciple of the Holy Palace, he had to consider Ji Yang.
With the strength and talent that Ji Yang has shown, he will be the backbone of the Holy Palace in the future and cannot afford to lose.
Zhou Li did not continue to request. He had nothing to do with Ji Yang. The reason they could sit together this time was because of Fu Cang.
It's not easy to talk about deep things when you're just a stranger, let alone something like this that involves a powerful being who's beyond the realm of the Void.
"In that case, I will come to visit Fellow Daoist Ji after I have understood everything clearly."
Zhou Li picked up the wine glass on the table and punished himself with a glass: "This plan still needs to be completed. I'm sorry I can't accompany you two. I'll leave first."
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, please do as you please."
Chu Ning nodded, but when Zhou Li left, he added: "Your sect's Nirvana Pearl seems to be extremely precious."
Zhou Li paused, looked at Chu Ning, and finally nodded, and his figure disappeared on the spot.
"Junior Brother Ji, you must make a careful decision on this matter. After today, don't talk about it to anyone."
After Zhou Li left, Fu Cang kept making seals with his hands. The surrounding chaotic vines swayed wildly, disrupting the spiritual energy in the yard.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother. I'm not that reckless."
"With your words, I feel relieved. I will not disturb you and Fellow Daoist Xu any more. We will say goodbye and see you again when we return to the sect."
