89: Brother Zheng... haven’t you eaten?
However, once a Split Soul leaves the body, it becomes a separate consciousness from the main body, and the two do not interfere with each other. Only when the Split Soul returns can the main body receive its memories.
After a thousand years of separation from the main body, Ying Zheng's Split Soul had already become an independent entity.
With the Split Soul outside, the main body's commands were not entirely obeyed!
Feeling the massive Demonic Power contained in the Demonic Qi Pool, Bai Yang was already impatient. He plopped into the Demonic Qi Pool and winked at Ying Zheng.
"That's commendable courage."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, but just having courage was far from earning his approval!
"However, this kid's Realm is quite profound; even I can't see through it..."
Looking at Bai Yang, who was soaking comfortably in the Demonic Qi Pool, Ying Zheng's expression was a little strange.
Recalling that year, during the great battle.
Ying Zheng felt he was no match for the Red-haired Golden-horned Alien. During the fierce battle, he had already begun to prepare a backup plan.
According to Ying Zheng's calculations, the Fengchan Platform would appear in the world when Spiritual Qi first began to recover.
This time would be approximately two thousand years after he had set up the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking Formation.
While ensuring that the Red-haired Golden-horned Alien did not detect him, he also had to ensure that the Split Soul possessed the strength to sweep across the world when Spiritual Qi first began to recover!
After understanding all the crucial points, Ying Zheng quietly separated a trace of an imperceptible Body Integration Stage Split Soul and went to Mount Tai to establish an Immortal Cave, leaving a spark for the Demonic Path.
The Red-haired Golden-horned Alien's Physical Body was powerful, and his Divine Abilities were vast, but he was not proficient in the use of Mental Energy, and he knew nothing about Formations.
Under Ying Zheng's cover, this trace of Split Soul successfully arrived at Mount Tai. After establishing an Immortal Cave with the power of national destiny accumulated by the imperial seal, he fell into a long slumber.
Two thousand years had passed.
The Split Soul, having left the body, was like rootless duckweed.
In the Era of Dharma Decline, there was no Spiritual Qi to replenish it.
Under this double hindrance, the Cultivation of this trace of Split Soul rapidly dissipated, and by now, less than one in a million remained, almost falling below the Nascent Soul Initial Stage.
This was not within Ying Zheng's expectations.
Ying Zheng's original idea was for the Split Soul to still retain the Cultivation of the Nascent Soul Stage (Great Perfection) upon its emergence.
Bai Yang's series of actions had brought forward the initial recovery of Spiritual Qi by nearly four months, which also meant that the Split Soul's strength had not fallen below the Nascent Soul Initial Stage.
"Could it be that this kid is like Jing Ke, able to conceal his true Cultivation?"
Ying Zheng's brows raised slightly, recalling that when Jing Ke assassinated the main body, he also used some special method to disguise himself as a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator.
Bai Yang's situation was even stranger than Jing Ke's, making it impossible for him to see through his true Cultivation!
This situation only occurred when the opponent's strength far exceeded his own.
Even if Bai Yang had a heaven-sent Opportunity and could Cultivate with weak Spiritual Power in the Era of Dharma Decline, his Cultivation could never surpass his own Nascent Soul Initial Stage!
Ying Zheng, who had never seen Bai Yang make a move, now believed that Bai Yang had some means of concealing his Cultivation.
After all, he was the one chosen by Blue Star's will, so having a method to conceal his Cultivation was perfectly normal.
With this thought, Ying Zheng formed a hand seal.
Since Bai Yang was the destined one and also Cultivated the Demonic Path, he would let him experience the power of Demonic Liquid Body Refining with the Physical Body standard of Foundation Establishment Stage (Great Perfection)!
In the Demonic Qi Pool, Bai Yang's body was covered in a thin, silkworm-wing-like layer of Demonic Liquid, which continuously contracted inwards.
Don't let the thin layer of Demonic Liquid deceive you; if a Body Refinement Stage Cultivator were thrown in, they would be instantly crushed by the contracting Demonic Liquid!
At this moment.
Bai Yang had three big question marks above his head.
Although he guessed that Ying Zheng would go easy on him, Bai Yang had no idea that Old Ancestor was going easy on him with the five oceans of Blue Star!
This amount of force wasn't even enough to tickle him!
"Brother Zheng, although we both know some things, you're being a bit too..."
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's face flushed slightly.
He was indeed dissatisfied with Blue Star's will's choice, but such things should remain between them. Tearing open the paper window would be somewhat undignified!
Seeing Bai Yang soaking in the Demonic Qi Pool as if nothing was happening, Ying Zheng coughed twice. His Split Soul's Demonic Qi surged, increasing the difficulty to Golden Core Great Perfection.
If you're unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!
If someone's going to make a fool of themselves, we'll all make a fool of ourselves!
More and more Demonic Liquid enveloped Bai Yang, reaching the thickness of a finger joint, as if every inch of his skin bore the immense weight of ten thousand jun!
Ying Zheng carefully observed Bai Yang's condition. If Bai Yang showed the slightest sign of being unable to bear it, he would instantly release the hand seal.
However, Bai Yang only felt like someone was tickling him and even yawned out of boredom.
The two looked at each other in silence.
The scene became utterly quiet.
"To be able to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage in the Era of Dharma Decline, if you were born in my era, you might truly have the possibility of Breaking Through to the legendary Realm of Devil Emperor..."
Ying Zheng gave a self-deprecating laugh.
Being able to easily withstand Demonic Liquid Body Refining to the Golden Core Great Perfection indicated that the young man in front of him had a Cultivation of at least the Nascent Soul Stage (Early).
If it were him, Cultivating with almost non-existent Spiritual Qi in the Era of Dharma Decline, whether he could even Breakthrough the Foundation Establishment Stage would be an unknown.
"Brother Zheng... didn't you eat?"
Bai Yang spoke with a stiff upper lip.
With his Foundation Establishment (Early Stage) strength, Old Ancestor was refining his body at the Golden Core Great Perfection level. This wasn't how you went easy on someone, was it?!
"What do you mean by that?"
Ying Zheng raised an eyebrow, very puzzled.
During Demonic Liquid Body Refining, Daoist Bai asked if he had eaten. Was this a custom of later generations?
To ensure he received the imperial seal's approval, Bai Yang went all out and shouted:
"Harder!!!"
This caused Ying Zheng's expression to change instantly.
As the Emperor of Immortal Qin, the Supreme being, even if those Confucian scholars were dissatisfied with him, they wouldn't dare to mock him to his face!
In his previous words, he had already implicitly admitted that his Aptitude was inferior to Bai Yang's, but he hadn't expected Bai Yang to intensify his mockery!
This was intolerable!
At this moment, Ying Zheng felt a hint of anger towards this ignorant junior.
"You said this yourself!"
In an instant, the situation changed dramatically.
Nearly one-thousandth of the Demonic Liquid in the Demonic Qi Pool enveloped Bai Yang layer by layer, forming a thick cocoon. Every tiny bit of his skin bore the force of a thousand mountains!
This was precisely the Demonic Liquid Body Refining for the Nascent Soul Initial Stage!
Although Ying Zheng was somewhat angry, he still carefully paid attention to Bai Yang's condition, only to see Bai Yang, enveloped in layers of Demonic Liquid, with an utterly ecstatic expression, as if he were receiving a full-body massage!
A clap of thunder exploded in Ying Zheng's heart.
Bai Yang was not a Nascent Soul Stage Demonic Cultivator, nor was he a Soul Transformation Stage Demonic Cultivator. His relaxed and at ease demeanor indicated that his Cultivation was definitely above the Soul Transformation Stage (Great Perfection)!
What an incredible Cultivation this was!
Before the initial recovery of Spiritual Qi, even if all the Spiritual Qi on Blue Star were combined, it might not be enough to create a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.
How did Bai Yang manage to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm under such circumstances?!
Ying Zheng felt his head buzzing. Even when facing the Red-haired Golden-horned Alien, he had been at ease, but today he was greatly shocked by Bai Yang.
Bai Yang only felt utterly refreshed. Although the Demonic Liquid Body Refining had little effect on his Physical Body, the Demonic Power within him became increasingly solid under the compression.
Demonic Liquid Body Refining had an excellent effect on him!
It was just that the inward compressing force of the Demonic Liquid was still far from reaching the limit his Physical Body could withstand!
