Chapter 206: Bewitching Servant (2)
The surface texture of the Huyou Pu seemed to be just a carved decoration, but Luo Xuanyi could clearly feel it wriggling when holding it in her palm.
The air in the room was silently inhaled and exhaled by it, delicately moving, and occasionally blue sparks flew. Compared to a magic weapon, it was more like a living thing.
Luo Xuanyi held it up to her eyes, her eyes focused on the deathly aura and projected it onto the grey sphere. The confused servant immediately made a soft "humming" sound, and slowly became as transparent as glass, with its veins clearly displayed before Luo Xuanyi's eyes.
Only then did Luo Xuanyi see the true form of the Confused Servant—a massive, ten-layered sphere of countless soul worms forged into magical instruments. Each individual was so tiny, invisible to the naked eye, tightly clenching the other worms at their sides. Millions of these worms engaged each other in this manner, appearing to the naked eye as layers of pure gray, hard shells.
Each worm possessed its own intelligence, millions of chaotic thoughts intertwined in a chaotic, erratic flow. Each worm had reached the third level of the Immortal Rank.
That is to say, they were forcibly gathered together in numbers, breaking through the barriers between grades, and as a whole they leaped to the fourth grade of the immortal rank.
Luo Xuanyi discovered that her brand had not been placed on all the worms, but only on one of them. However, all the worms showed absolute submission to her.
It is easy to guess the result - they submitted to Luo Xuanyi, the chief of all evil, who forced their souls to stay, rather than a brand.
Luo Xuanyi held the Deceptive Servant with the same ease as if she were holding a part of her own body. She tried to gently rotate it, and the randomly assembled ghostly balls emitted a subtle rustling sound, and the minds of millions of worms suddenly became unified.
The gray ball rotated, sparks flew inside, and burned the lines into blue.
Luo Xuanyi aimed at the lantern cloud fruit placed on the table in the room and exhaled gently.
A thin flame rolled out from the confused servant, and the blue color immediately took away the breath of the entire room. All spiritual power involuntarily rolled towards the flame, like a layer of transparent ripples in the air.
At first glance, the blue flames seemed as transparent as glass, without a trace of heat emanating from them. Instead, they chilled the air slightly. Before the tip of the flames could even reach the branches of the Lantern Cloud Fruit, the fruit suddenly burst into a silent flame, crashing into the soil of the flowerpot. The flames swept across the soil, igniting it as well.
A faint blue light exploded in the blink of an eye, and the flames returned to the ghost ball, leaving only a charred ceramic basin on the table.
Luo Xuanyi gently reached out and touched it, and the pottery basin immediately shattered into powder and piled on the table.
Huo Pu had his own mind, which was a thought connected to Baiwan and Luo Xuanyi. He followed orders with incredible precision. The flame was so powerful that it could burn the spiritual herbs from a distance, but it didn't burn even a bit on the table.
Suddenly, Luo Xuanyi felt that the things connected to her consciousness were a little more vague, and she couldn't help but look closely at the pile of powder on the table, whose original shape could not be seen.
The powder seemed to be trembling because of the flow of air, but Luo Xuanyi was surprised to find that the powder was shaking faster and faster.
The powder also developed intelligence. No, it was implanted with intelligence.
The bewildered servant spun gently, emitting a faint celestial-level pressure. As the fluctuations occurred, the powder trembled slightly.
Luo Xuanyi curiously picked up a small handful, feeling the delicate tingling sensation. The powder seemed far less intelligent than the worms that made up the Confused Servant, perhaps no more than a child barely understanding instructions. The Confused Servant's arrogant wafts sent them shivering, as if whispering something.
Luo Xuanyi couldn't understand their language, but Huopu was able to communicate with the powder.
Interesting. She tried to command the powder to move to the right from her soul, but the powder's intelligence didn't seem to be able to directly understand. So the confused servant acted as a relay, relaying Luo Xuanyi's command.
The blue flame flickered, and the powder began to scramble to the right of the table as if struck by a whip. But to Luo Xuanyi, no matter how fast they moved, it was still quite slow.
Some of the powder didn't fully understand the Servant's command and scattered in all directions, like a swarm of tiny creatures the size of grains of sand, a truly fascinating sight.
But relying on magical instruments to relay commands didn't give Luo Xuanyi a sense of security. She felt a renewed interest in experimenting, sometimes pondering the structure of the bewitching servant, sometimes directing the command powder. An entire afternoon passed quickly, and even as the moon rose at midnight, she still enjoyed this process.
Luo Xuanyi had burned the lantern cloud fruit in the room, leaving only a slanting, cool moonlight. However, Luo Xuanyi had long since stopped needing a lamp for illumination. Before her, the powder lay in three distinct piles, while the confused servant rolled around the table, amusing himself.
The pile of powder to Luo Xuanyi's left was a random accumulation of powder, emitting a chaotic and childish thought, seemingly unable to fully comprehend anything. Luo Xuanyi issued an order, and they had to think for a while before they could take action.
The powder in the center of Luo Xuanyi's face unexpectedly formed a sphere. A closer look revealed that it mimicked the wormlike structure of the Hupu, connecting with the surrounding powder. This large area of contact caused their breathing to align, and their thoughts gradually assimilated. While they couldn't think independently like the Hupu, they were able to coordinate their movements, rolling left and right according to Luo Xuanyi's commands.
The confused servant was obviously not satisfied with the powder ball that imitated it, and emitted a wave of intimidation, which frightened the powder ball and immediately scattered into a pile.
The Confused Servant spun twice, its vibrations rising slightly. Luo Xuanyi suspected it was feeling proud. Pressing down with her palm, the Confused Servant immediately transformed into an oval shape, its vibrations subsiding.
Luo Xuanyi withdrew her hand, and the Devil Servant flicked, transforming back into a round ghostly ball. The thought waves it emitted suddenly became chaotic, as if a fierce internal argument was going on. Luo Xuanyi ignored it and turned to look at the third pile of powder.
The third pile of powder was divided into small piles of hundreds of grains. Each hundred grains seemed to be moving randomly, but in fact, Luo Xuanyi ordered them to carve each other.
Irregular powders collided with each other, releasing even more dust particles invisible to the naked eye, which embedded themselves in the cracks in the powder. Hundreds of particles gradually shifted from being individual particles to blending with other powders, and the detached dust particles also carried with them thoughts born from this contamination. Forced together, each single grain of dust began to become a mixture of multiple thoughts.
The more they collided with each other, the more regular their movements became, and they began to consciously collide with dust particles that had not yet collided with them.
The Hupu rolled to the third pile of dust, but did not attack. The third pile of dust seemed to be frightened and stopped colliding for a moment.
Luo Xuanyi observed without issuing any orders.
After a while, one of the small piles of dust suddenly began to move on its own. They moved neatly towards other small piles of dust, and then all the hundreds of dust piles began to move. The third pile of dust moved together on its own and began to simulate the previous structure of the second pile of dust.
The fluctuations of thoughts became clearer and clearer, and the dust particles consciously moved using the optimal construction method. It was completed in almost half the time of building the dust ball under Luo Xuanyi's command, and it was even more exquisite.
Huo Pu hesitated, as if deciding whether to take action or not.
The dust ball decisively rolled towards Luo Xuanyi, hiding in her palm, avoiding a head-on confrontation with Huo Pu. The sound of her thoughts grew clearer, and gradually, a thin line of connection emerged in Luo Xuanyi's mind.
"Bad, bad, bad." The dust ball kept shouting, actually trying to seduce the servant.
A spark flew out of the Hupu, and it rolled over suddenly, breaking the dust ball apart.
Luo Xuanyi looked at the table with a smile and leaned back.
There is another one coming later~
