Chapter 87
"Not only was he a scumbag, but he also mistook an enemy for a friend and raised a tiger to cause trouble. In the end, he was 'snipped' in the throat by his best friend. So, scumbags have never had a good ending since ancient times!"
A scumbag?!
Luo Yi couldn't believe that this word would one day be used to describe his most innocent and devoted boss.
Huo Qinglei and Jiang Mo watched the show from the sidelines, both wanting to eat sunflower seeds: "Hahaha, Luo Hengzhi is such a scumbag, hahaha... and there's also a troublemaker. Luo Hengzhi has finally met his nemesis."
Upon hearing this, Luo Hengzhi ignored them and walked straight to Master Yunqing's side: "Master, does our sect have any cultivation techniques that can conceal one's cultivation level?"
Master Yunqing then took out a cultivation manual and handed it to Luo Hengzhi: "Hengzhi, why do you want to hide your cultivation level?"
"I know, I know." Before Luo Hengzhi could open his mouth, Gu Li answered eagerly, "Don't you know why Luo Hengzhi hides his cultivation level? Let me tell you."
"Because his former subordinate betrayed him and took his place. As long as Luo Hengzhi's cultivation reaches the Mahayana stage, his former subordinate will discover Luo Hengzhi's whereabouts, and Luo Hengzhi will likely be 'cracked' and eliminated once again!"
"Look at this, how hated are scumbags throughout history! They're hunted down all over the three realms and nine provinces. It's truly tragic!"
Luo Hengzhi looked at Gu Li and seemed to understand why he used to hate this kid. Anyone who saw this brat would want to kick him a couple of times.
Upon hearing this, Master Yunqing looked worried. What kind of being could so easily annihilate a Mahayana cultivator?
"Hengzhi, what's going on?"
Luo Hengzhi had no memory of it, and Gu Li's words were somewhat embellished, but not entirely false, so she didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Ye Zi: "Master, Luo Hengzhi has not yet regained his memory. As for Gu Li's nonsense, one thing is true: once one's cultivation breaks through to the Mahayana stage, both the Immortal Realm and the God Realm will receive the news, which is not a good thing. Therefore, it would be best for Master to hide or suppress his cultivation for the time being and not advance to the Mahayana stage."
"May I ask about Senior Sister's cultivation level? Although I cannot discern it, it is clear that Senior Sister, Elder Qian, and this fellow Daoist's cultivation levels are no less than those of the Integration Stage?" Leng Xiao inquired.
Ye Zi: "Because our original body is special, our spiritual power is integrated with heaven and earth, and our cultivation level no longer conforms to the conventional realm division. It is not surprising that Junior Brother Leng cannot see it."
"Is the original body special? Is the original body of Little Leaf related to the red plum?" Master Yunqing suddenly thought of the red plum phenomenon when Ye Zijin advanced.
Ye Zi: "Just as Master said, my true form is a red plum blossom."
Just then, a deafening cry of a monkey came from the depths of the mountains and forests!
"It's Akazaru!"
After Ye Zi finished speaking, she disappeared into the deep mountains, with Luo Hengzhi following closely behind.
"Why did the Red Ape come down? Could it be that Xiao Yezi's spirit has recovered and attracted Xue Yao's attention?" Gu Li looked in the direction where Ye Zi disappeared, a little worried.
Old Qian shook his head: "Judging from the current situation, he probably suspects that Luo Hengzhi has been reincarnated, which is why he sent the red ape down to investigate."
"If he receives definite information, it won't just be the Red Ape that comes down."
"Master, Little Ape said a very strong pressure came from the south and directly suppressed Little Ape back to its original form." Fire Phoenix brought Little Mo to Ye Zi's side. Little Mo was frightened, so Ye Zi took Little Mo into her.
The little ape went mad and ran around wildly, and the Fire Phoenix Dragon Treasure was completely unable to wake it up.
Ye Zi teleported in front of the little ape, took out a pill and threw it into the ape's mouth. Then, a wisp of spiritual light emanated from her fingertip and entered the little ape's brow, finally calming the agitated ape down.
The little ape's body began to shrink, transforming back into human form. Dragon Treasure and Fire Phoenix flew over and caught the unconscious little ape.
At this moment, Luo Hengzhi saw the giant red ape coming through the void and said to Long Bao and Huo Feng, "Take the little ape back."
Luo Hengzhi couldn't discern the red ape's cultivation level, so she asked Ye Zi, "Can it be subdued?"
Ye Zi shook her head, her eyes turning cold: "It was sent by Xue Yao to find you. We can't let it live!"
As soon as Ye Zi finished speaking, she drew her sword and charged forward. Because her spirit body had recovered, the appearance of her spirit sword also changed. The hilt was carved with red plum blossoms, and when she swung the sword, the red plum blossoms flew and swirled around the sword!
"As expected, you are an ancient spirit! You're still alive!" The red ape stared at Ye Zi, not even glancing at Luo Hengzhi, and asked, "Where is Luo Hengzhi's reincarnation?"
Completely ignored, Luo Hengzhi: "..." So this big guy's weakness is blindness!
Ye Zi coldly replied, "You'll find out when you're dead."
Ye Zi clasped her hands together, chanted an incantation, and the spiritual energy in the world surged and formed the shape of a sword, enveloping the spiritual sword. The spiritual sword suddenly grew larger, becoming as large as the world itself.
Just as the red ape attacked, he slashed directly at it.
With a single sword strike, the Crimson Ape's body was split in two, but its divine body was immortal and indestructible, instantly healing itself.
Just as it was about to heal, Ye Zi's fingertips stirred with spiritual energy, transforming into two beams of light that, along with fire, tore the red ape's body, which was about to be rejoined, apart along the sword wound!
"No..."
The flames grew larger, engulfing the entire red ape and burning it to ashes!
The echoes of the red ape's mournful howl still lingered, but it was beyond dead, leaving only its dark inner core in the air!
The dark inner core flew automatically into Ye Zi's hand. Ye Zi brushed it with her right hand, and the dark color of the inner core faded, becoming transparent and bright.
Ye Zi said to Luo Hengzhi, "This is the core of a divine beast, which can improve the little ape's physique."
"You killed it just like that?" This was the first time Luo Hengzhi had ever seen a divine beast killed. The beast's cultivation level far surpassed that of the Dragon Treasure Fire Phoenix. Was it really that easy to kill it?
It's easy to imagine how strong Ye Zi has become!
“You only killed once, but you can still be reincarnated,” Ye Zi said.
Luo Hengzhi: "After all, it is a divine beast, and it has the opportunity to be reincarnated. It should be."
Ye Zi can defeat a divine beast in one move, and in Luo Hengzhi's eyes, she is now invincible. He used to catch up with his wife with great difficulty, but now... he has fallen far behind again!
But then again, perhaps Luo Hengzhi was born to be a kept man!
His wife is amazing!
Ye Zi: "But... if it were you who made the move just now, let alone divine beasts, even true gods wouldn't have a chance to reincarnate again!"
Luo Hengzhi was stunned. Am I that awesome?
Question: "What level of cultivation is required to possess such abilities?"
Little Leaf's cultivation level is already very high, isn't that enough?
“It has nothing to do with cultivation level, it's all about you!” Ye Zi replied. “Qing Ran is a true god, and he killed...you, but he can't stop you from reincarnating, and we don't even know when you will be reincarnated.”
"But you are different. If you are the God of Slaughter, you can not only control when he reincarnates, but also prevent him from reincarnating at all!"
Damn, this deal sounds amazing!
But even someone as powerful as him before still died!
"Has the divine realm already discovered me?" Luo Hengzhi asked.
"No, they must have sensed my spiritual recovery and that's why they sent people down to investigate."
"If the Red Ape doesn't go back now, more people will come down next."
"However, as long as your original spirit hasn't recovered, the God Realm won't be able to find you for the time being," Ye Zi said. "Just like when you stood in front of the Crimson Ape, the Crimson Ape didn't recognize you as yourself!"
It turns out that the gorilla wasn't blind; it just didn't recognize him because he hadn't regained his original spirit!
Ye Zi: "This time it was just the Red Ape, the next one could very well be the Moon Fox or the Listening Crocodile. If it's the Moon Fox, her illusion might be a bit troublesome."
When Luo Hengzhi heard Ye Zi mention the Moon Fox, he suddenly remembered that Xin Yue of the Fox Clan still owed Lingju Sect three years' worth of work.
"Tell me about her secret realm, how troublesome it is." Luo Hengzhi and Ye Zi talked as they hurried back to Lingju Sect to check on Little Ape.
"Master, that oppressive force was too much for the little ape; it hasn't woken up yet." The immense pressure could damage the soul, and Long Bao was a little worried.
Ye Zi handed the Crimson Ape Core to Long Bao: "Place it in the little ape's dantian to absorb, and it will wake up soon."
"A divine-grade inner core! With this, Little Ape can level up dramatically!" Fire Phoenix exclaimed excitedly. "This inner core can directly allow Little Ape to skip from Demon King to Demon Saint and become Demon Emperor!"
“If Little Ape becomes the Demon Emperor, wouldn’t he surpass me?” Long Bao suddenly felt a sense of crisis and looked at Luo Hengzhi. “Master, I need to go into seclusion.”
Fire Phoenix: "I want one too."
After absorbing the inner core, the little ape woke up quickly. Just as the fire phoenix had said, the little ape's cultivation broke through to the Demon Emperor stage in one fell swoop, and its size and aura became incomparable to what they had been before!
Little Ape knelt on one knee before Ye Zi, bowing his head in submission and gratitude: "This kindness is too heavy; I am willing to protect Lingju Sect with my life!"
Ye Zi used her spiritual power to lift the little ape up: "Little ape, I'm entrusting the Spirit Abode Sect to you!"
When Ye Zilu first brought the little ape out, she intended for it to become the guardian beast of the Lingju Sect and protect it.
Of course, I know about this too!
Luo Hengzhi explained how to use the flying boat to Luo Yi and instructed him to retrieve it from Hengduo after it was completed. Then, she took Ye Zi to go into seclusion!
He must improve his cultivation level; he's too weak!
It turns out that Qing Ran wasn't the only one who wanted him dead. Luo Hengzhi needed to create more and stronger consciousness puppets so that he would be able to fight against Xue Yao from the God Realm in the future!
At the same time, Luo Hengzhi also cultivated the body-refining technique given to him by Cang Qing, completely reshaping his mortal body.
Although Ye Zi's ancient spirit body has been restored, her original body suffered some damage due to the use of the 'Self-Burying Curse,' so her cultivation level has not yet reached its peak!
In addition, Ye Zi's cultivation technique relies entirely on the fusion of her original body with nature, and the damage to her original body naturally weakens the degree of fusion with nature!
Ye Zi could sense this perfectly!
But it's not all bad!
Ye Ziyuan was born from nature and merged with nature, possessing powerful self-healing and destructive abilities comparable to those of the natural world!
However, also affected by nature, Ye Zi will experience a brief period of fatigue when the seasons change, during which her spiritual power is imprisoned and she cannot use it!
This is Ye Zi's fatal weakness!
The loss of the original body this time weakened Ye Zi's integration with nature, so it wasn't entirely a bad thing.
Moreover, Ye Zi now possesses a spirit sword!
The Spirit Sword is Ye Zi's natal sword. Although the immortal body no longer exists, the Spirit Sword is connected to Ye Zi's soul. Therefore, Ye Zi now possesses not only the cultivation of her ancient spirit body but also swordsmanship!
If another period of fatigue occurs and spiritual power cannot be used, Ye Zi still has her spiritual sword to protect herself!
Ye Zi modified the spirit sword, and Luo Hengzhi helped her add a spirit gathering array and a spirit storage array to the spirit sword, so that when she was unable to circulate spiritual power, the spirit sword could draw spiritual energy on its own.
During Ye Zilu Hengzhi's seclusion, a series of changes occurred in the outside world!
With the revival of spiritual energy, more and more spiritual beings are experiencing the phenomenon of automatically drawing energy into their bodies, and many people wake up to find that they have opened their third eye!
Some reclusive survivors from a thousand years ago have followed the example of the Lingju Sect in reviving their sect.
Many new sects were established overnight, and of course, there were also some swindlers taking advantage of the chaos!
The number of monsters deep in the mountains and forests is increasing, and their levels are no longer limited to just level one. Those who enjoy exploring the mountains and forests are the first to realize the changes in the world.
Stories of ordinary people encountering monsters happen every day, and these encounters are posted online to warn people not to venture into the depths of the mountains and forests!
