Chapter 405 The Asura Buddha Maiden Enters My Dream (Part 1)
Even if it means staying as far away as possible, not looking at it or thinking about it.
He still felt a cold force spreading from his heels to the back of his head, making him tremble all over.
--fear!
This emotion was constantly assaulting him.
In theory, this mental technique essentially uses mental power to bridge distances, connect with those one wishes to reach, and also allows one to look down upon the human world.
Living in a humble abode, one can observe the affairs of the world.
The power of the mind is a kind of idealistic and magical power. It can do many things that are impossible for other lineages!
However, Wang Yu's understanding of the Dao of the Mind was still insufficient, and the Ice Prison Realm contained an ancient demon at the source level, whose appearance was like a beautiful woman who had taken off her clothes.
How could the sealed ancient demon [Slaughter], who was experiencing ecstasy and death, possibly endure it? Even without a divine soul, his physical instincts were still trying to escape the sealed place.
The mind is an excellent vessel, both powerful and fragile.
It can become incredibly powerful with a sudden enlightenment, or it can plummet to the bottom in an instant due to the collapse of its beliefs, which is closely related to personal will.
Repairing it is difficult, but collapsing it is very easy.
This is also the main reason why the Mind Path has never been mainstream. It may be strong, but if there is a flaw in the mind, it can be destroyed in an instant!
This is also part of the reason why the tradition was interrupted.
With the help of the Mystic Art of the Immortal Dream, Wang Yu passively sensed the demonic heart of [Kill], even though it was far away, in this special environment formed by the interaction of mental energy.
The longer you stay, the easier it is to be assimilated.
I've had a preliminary feel for the demonic power inherited from the ancient demons. The two are essentially the same, and can only be described as terrifying.
"I can't stay for long."
With this thought in mind, Wang Yu suppressed the urge to turn back and continued to focus his mental energy.
finally……
A weak, murderous intent, twinkling like a star, appeared in his mental perception. His will surged and quickly connected with it, the two hearts drawing close in an instant.
As a third party, the ancient demon killing heart was naturally excluded. Being driven only by instinct, it was unable to use its mental power techniques.
The environment changes again.
In a moment of hazy consciousness, Wang Yu found himself in the lake of his own mind, where the sky was half pitch black and half blood red, with two trees planted on small islands on either side.
Beneath each tree was a stone platform, upon which the enormous heart, formed from the Asura's murderous intent and resembling blood-red glass, gently beat.
On this dark side is Wang Yu's side.
The blood-red side naturally belongs to Kim Myo-sun.
"I never noticed before, but when did my heart turn black..."
The mind cannot lie, does that mean his mind is black?
He was secretly complaining.
He then took another look at the two murderous intents of Asura.
His pure and spotless aura radiated a brilliant golden-red light, carrying a pure killing intent and a somewhat weak fighting spirit, completely under his control.
Kim Myo-sun's... cloudy, deformed.
A foul-smelling blood mist hung above a dim Buddhist seal, and a four-foot-long sword, entirely blood-red and engraved with Asura patterns, hovered above the killing intent.
Evil thoughts arose!
The vast majority of those anomalies originated from this sword.
Looking around, Wang Yu frowned even more deeply.
What about Kim Myo-sun?
Her heart is a lake, yet she herself is not there?!
Reaching the confluence of the two heart lakes, Wang Yu paused for a moment, then beckoned to his own Asura Killing Heart, and the heart, as brilliant as crystal, quickly entered his body.
Her white hair turned red, and her long, blood-red hair flowed freely.
The mysterious Shura pattern appeared between his eyebrows, his face changed slightly, becoming more angular as if carved by a knife and axe, and his eyes took on a sinister look.
Killing intent coalesced into mist that swirled around Wang Yu, making him appear both godlike and demonic, like flowing ribbons. This was actually a protective measure, as Jin Miaoshan was not in her right mind.
We'll have to do it.
In a battle of minds, one must contend with mental techniques. His intuition told him that the Asura Divine Sword would be troublesome, which is why he voluntarily absorbed his killing intent into his body.
After making thorough preparations, take the first step.
"Buzz—"
A strange fluctuation came, and the Nascent Soul Spiritual Treasure really did come over, instantly crossing half the area of the Heart Lake. Wang Yu's expression was solemn.
He subconsciously reached out and slashed forward. The mental techniques he had learned in the Blood Abyss Blood Slaughter Monument in his early years came into play at this moment. Those murderous blood mists were also a manifestation of mental power.
As long as an individual's will is aligned with it, it becomes a force within their heart.
Killing Intent Sword!
Amidst the swirling blood mist, it rapidly coalesced into a longsword, which collided fiercely with the mental projection of the Asura Divine Sword, and the stalemate was instantly severed.
Wang Yu crossed his arms to protect himself, but the divine sword was extremely wicked. It stabbed down diagonally, piercing through his abdomen and then pulling out from his side.
His spiritual embodiment was cut in half.
Although no blood gushed out, it began to overflow with tiny specks of spiritual light, like a tattered rag that had been torn apart.
With a thought, his wounds instantly healed.
But the excruciating pain clung to him like a maggot, impossible to get rid of.
"Is this the effect of the Asura Divine Sword?"
Sensing the situation was dire, Wang Yu was not about to sacrifice himself for others. This was the second time Jin Miaoshan had run into trouble; he could save her temporarily, but not forever.
If you are not up to the task, then withdraw.
In this regard, he never had any psychological burden. His opponent was a mental projection of a Nascent Soul Spirit Treasure, so it was normal that he was no match for it. There were many beings in the world that he could not defeat.
Do your best and have a clear conscience.
Seeing the divine sword continue its downward strike, Wang Yu instinctively took a step back, returning to his own inner world. Sure enough, the divine sword stopped at the edge.
It never crossed the line.
"It's all about timing and fate."
With a sigh, Wang Yu prepared to retreat.
He had done his best by risking being forced by the ancient demon. If he were to use orthodox cultivation levels to replace his spiritual realm, his third realm would only be equivalent to the Core Formation stage.
The Asura Divine Sword is a genuine fifth-tier spiritual treasure. Even though it's a mental projection, spiritual treasures inherently possess the characteristics of the Dao of the Mind, so it's normal that it's no match for it.
"This time... I can't save you."
As the thought crossed his mind, Wang Yu had just formed the spiritual seal to cancel the Mystic Art of the Immortal Dream when a sudden change occurred.
Kim Myo-sun's blood-red heart suddenly boiled.
A nearly naked body, clad only in a blood-red gauze, emerged from the body, with a golden halo radiating Buddhist light shining brightly behind its head.
Kim Myo-sun!
Wang Yu's eyes widened in disbelief. He truly hadn't expected that this woman's talent lay in Buddhist mental techniques; that Buddhist ring must be the result of her successful cultivation of the Prajna Heart Sutra.
Far superior to him!!!
Logically speaking, someone of this caliber should not be afraid of the erosion of this killing intent. The power unique to the Path of the Mind is already a step above his.
Why bother helping him? He might as well let the other party help him.
Black Crystal has misled me!
This woman's loss of control must be hiding a deeper secret. As he focused his mental energy, Wang Yu was astonished to find that the Mystic Art of the Immortal Dream... had failed.
When I looked up again, the two lakes of my heart began to merge.
With her eyes closed and radiating a sacred aura, Kim Myo-sun reached out and grasped the Asura Divine Sword. In an instant, she transformed into the Asura Buddha Maiden and swooped down towards him.
"--when!!!"
Sword and fist clashed.
It produced a piercing metallic clang. The two were only half an arm's length apart, and he could clearly see Jin Miaoshan's stunningly beautiful face.
Her long eyelashes trembled incessantly, still struggling.
"wake up!"
Wang Yu roared, his words full of righteousness, but in reality he showed no mercy as he kicked him away, the essence of the Asura Killing Fist flashing through his mind.
A burst of mental energy.
The Asura Dharma Body instantly manifested, unleashing countless blood-red fist imprints that blasted Jin Miaoshan's heart lake into a bloody turbulence, causing her to sink to the bottom and disappear without a trace.
After activating the Mystic Art of the Immortal Dream once more and finding no response, Wang Yu felt a genuine killing intent rising within him.
It's not just targeting Kim Myo-sun, but also... Hei Ryu!
Since condensing his Nascent Soul, his cautious nature has remained unchanged, but compared to the past, he has become far more arrogant, not only considering how to break free from the Ice Prison Realm's cage.
They also tried to profit from the war between good and evil.
His demand for resources to support Nascent Soul stage cultivators is nothing short of arrogant; given his past behavior, he should have avoided such situations if possible.
Once I've mastered my cultivation, I'll come back and demand an explanation.
Power can make people lose their true selves. After suddenly realizing his mistake, Jin Miaoshan once again rushed out of the sea of blood and swung her sword at him.
…………
…………
Land of the Demon Cat Clan.
Hei Liu and her father were standing at the foot of the mountain where Wang Yu was in seclusion; the former stared at the stone gate, and the latter stared at the ground.
He could sense that endless lightning was gathering deep underground, already touching the edge of the fourth level, although Wang Yu hadn't told him.
But the Two-Tailed Shadow Cat knew perfectly well that it was a zombie created by Wang Yu, and a rather rare and powerful mutant thunder zombie at that.
Nothing can be hidden from him on his turf.
The father and daughter stood together, seemingly close, but in reality, there was a deep estrangement between them.
With anger in his voice, he had no choice but to say in a low voice, "Hei Liu, you should have discussed this with your father before doing it. Master Wang Dan cannot be harmed!"
Hei Liu, who was in the late stage of Core Formation, shook the bell around her neck and actually crossed the limitation that only the fourth level could transform into human form, stretching her slender waist and transforming into a black-haired girl.
The bell is a magical artifact prepared for the demon race. It can enable third-tier demons to transform into human form in advance, which is extremely rare. Its effects are also very special. Apart from the two major merchant organizations, none of the dominant sects possess it.
“Father, this is for my future. If Mother knew, she would agree.”
"You're talking nonsense! You have no idea what Master Wang means to the demon race. If you insist on this, don't blame your father for disregarding blood ties."
The Two-Tailed Shadow Cat was even more furious. Although it was a demon, it was grateful for kindness. If it weren't for Wang Yu's existence, how could the demon cat clan have gained so many benefits in the past twenty years?
He never expected that his beloved daughter, whom he hadn't seen for so many years, would cause such a huge disaster upon her return. How could he explain this to the Tianpeng Clan? How could he explain this to the Holy Lord?
And then there's Lei Yao... This has completely destroyed the reputation of the demon cat clan, how could he not be furious?
"What exactly did you do to Master Wang?!"
Hei Liu stretched lazily, but his answer was irrelevant.
"There are four candidates to succeed Jin Manlou in this generation: Jin Miaoshan, Jin Lin, Jin Chixuan, and Jin Xuanxuan."
“Ever since Jin Miaoshan was corrupted by murderous intent, my daughter has known that while she has decent business acumen, she lacks talent in cultivation. Yet, she covets the extremely dangerous ancient demon inheritance, and sooner or later she will suffer a backlash.”
“I was given to Jin Miaoshan by you, so we are naturally bound together. Whether for my own sake or for the sake of my clan, we must find a more suitable backer. Young Master Jinlin has taken a fancy to my daughter’s beauty.”
The more she spoke, the more astonished her father became.
If his previous anger and confusion had been replaced by a bucket of ice water that had completely extinguished his rage, leaving him with a sense of fear and unease.
"You...you...you actually got involved in the succession struggle of Jinmanlou! You...you've been blinded by greed! Is this a competition you should be involved in? You're harming yourself and others...harming yourself and others!"
Hei Liu smiled nonchalantly.
"What can you provide me? Only an organization as wealthy as Jinmanlou could spare the resources to create a Nascent Soul Spiritual Object."
"--madness!"
The Two-Tailed Shadow Cat tossed the Human Desire Technique into Hei Liu's arms, then took out a spirit pill, a mid-grade Nascent Soul Pill, which was an extra one in Wang Yu's possession.
He used one top-grade one himself, and of the remaining three, he used one at the treasure exchange event, reserved one for Xueyu, and recently traded the other to Brother Hei.
He had lived in the Demon Cat Clan's territory for so long, and Brother Hei, being a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, had basically met all his conditions. Some time ago, he also mentioned his daughter.
Wang Yu guessed his thoughts and offered to exchange three sets of materials for refining Nascent Soul cultivation pills as a form of repayment, which would also make it easier for him to deal with the higher-ups of the demon race.
As long as it's worth the price, Wang Yu doesn't care much about its added value. When he has money, he's actually quite generous and not a stingy person.
Exchanging favors and giving small gifts can also stabilize their relationship, which is also a manifestation of shrewdness.
certainly.
This approach won't work against greedy and malicious individuals.
Hei Liu stared blankly at the Nascent Soul Pill.
"This... is it prepared for me?"
"Otherwise, do you think your father has other children?!"
"I originally planned to bring you back, purify your bloodline through the Human Desire Method, and then use the power of this Nascent Soul Pill to help you condense your Nascent Soul. Look at what you've done!"
Hei Liu's face turned deathly pale in an instant.
“I thought that when you handed me over to Kim Myo-sun, you were selling me…selling me out.”
The atmosphere fell silent instantly.
Two-Tailed Shadow Cat sighed helplessly and continued, "Tell me quickly, how can we save Master Wang?"
"I have no idea."
Seeing that his father was about to get angry again, Hei Liu quickly said.
"This person's real name is Wang Yu. He offended Jin Lin in his early years, and even Jin Manlou harbored deep malice towards him. After the battle between the two Zhuo leaders in the Holy Sect ended, he had the intention to take action against him."
"After the Demon King's Banquet, as the news spread, the people of Jin Manlou confirmed Wang Yu's identity, and Jin Lin then had his daughter send him a secret technique."
"This secret technique can destroy Jin Miaoshan's spiritual rebirth... making her unable to emerge from seclusion forever. Wang Yu was passively drawn into it and was disliked by the higher-ups of Jin Manlou, so his daughter agreed."
After some explanation, the Two-Tailed Shadow Cat finally understood her motives: it wasn't just about believing Jin Lin's promise, but also about trusting Jin Manlou's reputation.
For someone like Wang Yu, who had severely damaged the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce, the revenge was temporarily postponed because he was previously protected by the three clans of the Holy Sect and the rescue was timely.
After the conflict between the two Zhuo clans ended, Wang Yu almost broke ties with the three clans, only maintaining some kinship with the Yu clan, so revenge naturally followed.
If Wang Yu hadn't been hunted down by the Nine Evil Sword Lord and had to hide his identity for a while, the patriarch-level figures of Jin Manlou would never have let him go.
This is an old grudge...
First update. I'll grab a late-night snack and come back to write later.
The second update might be around 3 or 4 AM, so don't wait, check back tomorrow.
