Chapter 20

You think so too?

Chu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

Guidance?

Give me pointers!

I'm only at the Qi Refining stage myself, how can I instruct Yin Jiuqi, a Tribulation Transcending stage expert, on the dual-body technique?

Looking at Yin Jiuqi's eyes, which had suddenly transformed from dead fish eyes to bright and piercing ones, he suddenly felt that the thousand-year-old spirit wood heart box he was holding was a little too hot.

This old guy... does he really think I've seen through all his secrets?

Chu Yuan tried hard to recall the original owner's memories.

The method of dual-body technique?

I had seen the original body in ancient books, but I had never seen it on a cultivator.

Yin Jiuqi was the first.

Chu Yuan looked at the small snake flicking its tongue on Yin Jiuqi's wrist, then at his withered body.

How exactly was the soul transferred there?

Is it through possession?

But after possessing another body, wouldn't that body be ruined?

It can only be forcibly controlled by spiritual power, much like a puppet.

and many more......

A thought suddenly popped into my head.

Chu Yuan recalled the cultivation novels he read in his previous life, which seemed to contain the concepts of external avatars and second primordial spirits.

He hesitated for a moment, then tried to speak:

"Your current state... is it a projection of consciousness?"

Yin Jiuqi was taken aback, then his eyes flashed with a sharp light:

"As expected, the Demon Lord saw through it at a glance! That's right! I projected part of my consciousness onto the Azure Phosphorous Serpent to perceive the outside world, but my true body remained within a human body."

Chu Yuan nodded.

This is almost like remote control.

He hesitated for a moment, then, under Yin Jiuqi's expectant gaze, slowly said:

"If that's the case, why not try having one soul in two bodies?"

Yin Jiuqi:

"One soul, two bodies?"

He repeated those four words, first with a look of confusion, then his expression began to change.

From bewilderment to contemplation, then to shock, and finally to ecstasy!

That's it!

The Demon Lord meant that I shouldn't just project my consciousness onto him.

Instead, he attempted to truly transmit his soul there, freely switching between human and demonic forms!

If it succeeds, then it can be called a true double body!

The previous method was merely using the Jade Phosphorous Serpent as a tool to extend its senses.

Yin Jiuqi became more and more excited as he thought about it, and his withered body trembled slightly.

He bowed deeply to Chu Yuan:

"Thank you for your guidance, Demon Lord! If this method... if this method succeeds, my cultivation will surely advance further!"

Chu Yuan: "...Huh?"

I just said it offhand!

Don't actually try it!

In case something goes wrong during practice...

Chu Yuan was hesitating whether to add a comment about acting within one's capabilities when Yin Jiuqi stood up, his face full of eagerness:

"Demon Lord, please wait a moment. I will go into seclusion to meditate and comprehend this!"

After he finished speaking, he turned to leave, but stopped abruptly after taking just one step.

and many more.

The Demon Lord is still here!

How could I leave such an important guest here?

Just as Yin Jiuqi was struggling with his decision, a commotion suddenly came from outside the barrier.

Yun Zhongling returned with a chubby disciple.

"Master!"

Yun Zhongling bowed outside the barrier.

Yin Jiuqi raised his hand and removed the barrier.

"What is it?"

"This disciple has investigated and confirmed the matter."

Yun Zhongling pointed to the pale-faced, fat disciple beside him:

"This person is Elder Mo Chan's personal disciple, and also a spy planted by Hundred Flowers Valley. Elder Mo Chan's unusual behavior in recent years is due to the long-term effects of the bewitching incense he secretly administered."

The fat disciple was pressed down to the bottom, but his eyes were full of fanaticism:

"You lackeys of the demonic path, you utterly depraved bastards, the Immortal Alliance will avenge me!"

That's enough.

Yin Jiuqi interrupted him, a cold glint flashing in his eyes:

"Zhong Ling, take him to the poison cell and interrogate him personally after I emerge from seclusion."

"yes!"

Yun Zhongling picked up the fat disciple and stepped back.

Yin Jiuqi took a deep breath, turned to look at Chu Yuan, and suddenly, in front of everyone, said loudly:

"I already know the Demon Lord's true intentions in coming here."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuan turned to look at the old man in surprise.

What else do you know?

Yin Jiuqi continued:

"From this day forward, the entire Ten Thousand Poisons Sect will follow the lead of the Xuan Tian Sect! If the Demon Lord has any orders, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect will not refuse!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the elders in the square were taken aback for a moment, then exchanged glances and bowed in unison.

"We are willing to follow the Demon Lord!"

"The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect is willing to submit to the Xuan Tian Sect!"

Chu Yuan was stunned.

no......

I just came to get a Spirit Wood Heart.

How come you suddenly have a follower?

He subconsciously glanced at the three people beside him.

A knowing glint flashed in Youyue's eyes, and she nodded slightly.

Li Tu grinned and gave Chu Yuan a thumbs up.

The Thousand Machines Black Robe stirred slightly, transmitting its voice secretly:

"The leader is indeed brilliant. He used the name of Ling Muxin to subdue the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. Yin Jiuqi is an arrogant man. If the leader had not first intimidated him with his power and then won him over with the kindness of guidance, he would never have submitted so easily."

Chu Yuan: "..."

Seeing that no one objected, Yin Jiuqi quickly added:

"Zhong Ling!"

"Disciple is here!"

"Next, you will accompany the Demon Lord to inspect various parts of my Ten Thousand Poisons Sect."

Yin Jiuqi instructed:

"I must immediately go into seclusion to comprehend the technique bestowed upon me by the Demon Lord!"

After saying this, he bowed to Chu Yuan again, then transformed into a streak of green light and disappeared at the end of the square.

Chu Yuan, the three lineage masters, and a group of elders and disciples of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect were left behind.

The scene became quiet for a moment.

Qianji quietly moved to Chu Yuan's side and lowered her voice:

"Master, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect has won our hearts, and the purpose of this trip... has been largely achieved."

Chu Yuan's lips twitched, and he turned to look at Li Tu:

"Do you share the same thoughts as them?"

Li Tu nodded as if it were a matter of course:

"Of course! I understand your strategy, Master!"

He counted on his fingers:

"They came to the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect under the guise of an inspection, ostensibly to obtain the Spirit Wood Heart, but in reality to give them a warning."

"Then, using the Ink Toad incident, we'll demonstrate the methods of my Xuantian Sect!"

"Finally, give Yin Jiuqi some pointers so that he will be convinced and willingly submit to you."

Li Tu became more and more excited as he spoke, and laughed:

"After this whole scheme, who in the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, from top to bottom, would dare to harbor any disloyalty? The Sect Leader's methods are truly extraordinary! I admire you!"

Even Youyue rarely chimed in with a comment:

"Li Tu is right. The leader's plan is indeed thorough."

The look in her eyes when she looked at Li Tu was even less disdainful than before.

As long as they are loyal to the cult leader, she finds them much more agreeable.

Chu Yuan opened his mouth, then closed it again.

Forget it.

Chu Yuan sighed inwardly, then suddenly felt like laughing.

Fine.

Anyway, it's fine this way.

With the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect's surrender and the Xuan Tian Sect's growing power, his position as Demon Lord became even more secure.

Although the pressure has also increased.

What if the truth comes out someday...?

Chu Yuan dared not think about it.

He looked at Yun Zhongling, who was waiting in the distance, and waved.

Yun Zhongling strode forward and bowed:

"What are your orders, Demon Lord?"

Chu Yuan sized him up a few times.

This young man has clear eyes and works efficiently; he's a promising talent.

"Your name is Yun Zhongling, right?"

"Yes."

"Lead the way," Chu Yuan said calmly. "I want to see how much your Ten Thousand Poisons Sect has developed over the years."

"Yes! Please follow me, Demon Lord!"

Yun Zhongling perked up and immediately led the way.
