The kind of simple supplementation I used before is absolutely not going to work.
"Ant! Give me your hand!"
I gave the ant my command, and the ant dared not disobey and quickly and obediently handed me its paw.
I wanted his hand because I wanted to extract his Dao energy from it.
The moment I touched the person inside the coffin, more and more memories flooded into my mind.
My memories of ants are becoming clearer and clearer. Yes, I created ants, and I personally infused the Great Dao Qi into their bodies.
The Thunder Strike Sword lied to me before. The Great Dao Qi, once it enters a person's body, will become connected to that person's life!
In other words, this vital energy will continuously grow within the ant's body through its life force.
As time goes by, this Great Dao Qi will become increasingly vast. However, conversely, removing the Great Dao Qi is equivalent to taking away the life of an ant.
"Next, I will drain the Dao Qi from your body, but you will die. You have one chance to back out!"
I began to speak to the ants.
The ant visibly pulled its hand back; clearly, it couldn't accept this outcome.
But after struggling, he put his hand in front of me again.
"Brother Chen, I'm ready. I'll treat Brother Dao well!"
The ant gritted its teeth, ready to bravely face its death.
I was also somewhat moved by the ants' behavior.
Actually, my feelings for Ant aren't that deep; in comparison, I've been through a lot with Lao Dao.
I understand that Lao Dao is willing to die for me, but Ant has not awakened his previous memories.
"Brother Chen, to be honest, I didn't die for you, I died for Brother Dao!"
The ant let out a long sigh, as if it had let go of something, and finally looked at Old Knife with deep affection.
"Brother Dao, it seems I can't be with you this time! Take good care of Brother Chen from now on, and live a good life too!"
Ant said those heartfelt words to Lao Dao. If I hadn't known their background beforehand, I would have thought that the two of them were from Chengdu.
I felt a chill run through my body.
There's no way around it; prejudice in people's hearts is like a city.
"Brother Chen! What do you mean?"
Old Dao looked at me, as if to say that this was absolutely necessary.
I nodded and then told Lao Dao that if I wanted my Earth Soul to return to its rightful place, I would need the Qi of the Great Dao, and if the Qi of the Great Dao were extracted, the ants would die.
"Of course, ants die; that's something I remember, but it's also possible that that memory is wrong!"
I added another sentence.
I hope this is wrong.
The ant gripped my hand tightly, expressing its determination.
I began to draw upon his Dao Qi.
Through my third eye, I saw clusters of white light in the ant's dantian. I used the suction force of my hand to draw those clusters of white light directly into it.
The ant's expression began to twitch, then became incredibly ferocious.
I didn't care about all that; I absorbed all the white light into my body, bit by bit.
This contains the ant's vital energy as well as its life force.
And just like that, right before my eyes, the ant turned into a dried-up corpse, devoid of any life.
When I let go, the ant moved its body and turned its head, just staring at Old Knife.
At that moment, I felt a little teary-eyed again.
Even in death, the ant was still gazing at the old knife.
Remember this friend!
I exhaled a breath of stale air, then patted Lao Dao on the shoulder; Lao Dao's eyes were also a little red.
After resting for a while, I turned my gaze back to myself inside the coffin.
Having done so much preparation, it's time for me to regain my strength.
"Lightning Sword! Why did you lie to me back then?"
Before absorbing the corpse, I turned back and questioned the Thunderstrike Sword.
Because drawing upon the Qi of the Great Dao won't kill you, that's what Lei Jijian told me.
But I can't figure out why Lei Jijian would lie to me.
"Master, you've misunderstood. I really didn't mean to lie to you! Extracting the Great Dao Qi from my memories won't kill him, it just means he can't continue to cultivate!"
Lei Jijian almost burst into tears, probably because he was afraid I would blame him.
I stared at Lei Jijian without saying a word. Judging from Lei Jijian's reaction, what he said should be true, but I don't know where the deviation occurred.
"Brother Chen, the ants don't seem to be completely dead yet!"
At this moment, Lao Dao suddenly shouted excitedly.
I looked at the ant corpses, and even after sensing them with my "heavenly eye," I was still a little shocked.
Just as Lao Dao had said, the ant's body had not completely lost its vitality; there was still a trace of life within it.
"A glimmer of hope!"
My eyes lit up, and with a slight wave of my hand, the red paper appeared in my palm.
When I entered this underground palace, I had a feeling that this red paper would be useful, and now it seems that I should use it.
Without saying a word, I found Old Knife and asked him to give me some blood.
Old Dao knew I was trying to save the ants.
He bit his finger until it bled and let a few drops fall.
When Old Knife's blood dripped onto the red paper, thick white smoke rose up. I took this opportunity to stick the red paper onto the ant's corpse.
The red paper and the corpses of ants produced a unique reaction.
The ant's body, which was originally like a dried corpse, has now surprisingly regained a little bit of vitality.
I could clearly sense the life force inside the ant's body constantly increasing.
Just then, the ant opened its mouth slightly, and a white pill appeared on its lips.
I reached out my hand, and the pill fell into my palm.
"I almost got scammed!"
As I felt the power of this pill, I couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong, Brother Chen? Is there something wrong with this thing?"
Old Dao was a bit confused, not knowing why I said that.
"What I extracted just now wasn't the aura of the Great Dao! What's inside this pill is!"
I laughed at myself after I finished speaking.
Indeed, the most ingenious deception is nine parts truth and one part falsehood.
By simply adding deception to the most crucial point, it can be made to look completely real.
If I hadn't obtained this white pill, I might be the one dying today.
Most of the memories in my mind are true, except for this one.
"If this is fake, then I wouldn't be the one absorbing the aura of the Great Dao!"
I hesitated for a moment, then stuffed the white pill directly into my corpse's mouth!
Old Dao saw this and wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
Inside the coffin, I opened my mouth and swallowed the entire pill.
"Just watch quietly, Old Knife. I am him, and he is me!"
