Deng Zhong escaped
Everyone knows and can perform the act of infusing Cultivation.
However, infusion should at least follow some basic principles.
If the Cultivation gap is too large, a single infusion can directly cause the recipient to explode.
For a Supreme, the power of condensing a Rule Seal or even a Dao Seed is too immense to bear.
Especially in such a short time.
In a sense, this is also a consensus in the Cultivation world.
Otherwise, if everyone could infuse their Disciples and Juniors, there would be Geniuses everywhere and Prodigies running rampant.
And this common sense was shattered right before their eyes.
For the people present, this was more shocking than Zhong Qing casually throwing out an Immortal Artifact.
An Immortal Artifact is, after all, an external object; to infuse someone from Supreme to Quasi-Emperor in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, that is a level of power beyond imagination.
Moreover, in their eyes, Zhong Qing looked relaxed, as if he had expended no effort at all.
Perhaps Quasi-Emperor is still far from his limit.
What is that limit? Directly infuse to Great Emperor? Or Pseudo-Immortal?
Everyone was silent, clearly stunned.
"Many thanks, Revered Master!"
After calming the surging power and emotions within him, Lin Feng stepped forward and bowed deeply.
Zhong Qing smiled slightly: "No need to be excited."
"It's merely a Quasi-Emperor; on the path of Cultivation, this is just the beginning; you still have much to Cultivate."
Lin Feng nodded: "Yes, Revered Master, your Disciple will remember."
Zhong Qing leisurely said: "Do you know why I let you remain at Quasi-Emperor?"
Lin Feng shook his head.
Actually, it's because I can only infuse you up to Quasi-Emperor.
But can this be said? No.
Therefore, Zhong Qing said indifferently: "Above Quasi-Emperor is condensing a Dao Fruit and achieving the Emperor Realm."
"This is a very important step on the path of Cultivation."
"To lay the foundation for the future path to Immortal Ascension, this step must be taken by you, with your own Cultivation and insights, to condense the Dao Fruit and push open the door to Immortal Ascension."
Lin Feng's heart trembled.
Indeed, even having achieved Quasi-Emperor, there was nothing to be proud of.
The path ahead was still very long.
He cupped his fist: "Revered Master, your Disciple understands."
The others beside him were all dumbfounded.
Great Emperor is only laying a foundation?
So, our tens of thousands of years of Cultivation have actually only just finished laying the foundation?
However, considering Zhong Qing's mysterious and unfathomable methods and strength, it wasn't so difficult to accept.
Now, in the eyes of these Disciples, their Revered Master is very likely a True Immortal descended to the world!
For a True Immortal, isn't Great Emperor just a foundation?
"However, although your Realm has risen, you are still lacking in strength."
Zhong Qing beckoned again.
"Come."
At the same time, the others still within Fuyun Courtyard only felt a blur before their eyes, and when they regained their senses, they found themselves outside Fuyun Courtyard.
Everyone exchanged glances, understanding.
Presumably, Revered Master was about to impart something to that young Senior Brother.
Even the means to infuse someone from Supreme to Quasi-Emperor could be easily displayed, yet they were not qualified to observe what would be imparted next.
Upon thinking of this, their hearts couldn't help but tremble.
At the same time, they felt a deep envy towards Lin Feng.
Even though they had become Named Disciples of Revered Master, and had Immortal Artifacts and Cultivation Techniques.
But compared to True Disciples, there was still no comparison.
If one day they could also become a True Disciple of Revered Master, then they would truly have no regrets even if they died.
...
On the other side, in the Liuguang Sect's dungeon.
Nether Monarch Wang Yan was already tired of Deng Zhong's nonsense, and just then, another Disciple came to relieve him, so he eagerly left.
So many people had been Undergoing Tribulation collectively outside and holding a Dharma Assembly; he was envious too.
Although his Cultivation had not yet reached the time for Undergoing Tribulation, being able to communicate with so many Three Tribulation Emperors and even Pseudo-Immortals would be of great benefit to him.
As for Deng Zhong... Nether Monarch Wang Yan didn't think he could cause any trouble now.
After seeing Nether Monarch Wang Yan leave.
Deng Zhong, who had just been trying to persuade Nether Monarch Wang Yan to abandon the dark and turn to the light, suddenly stopped speaking, a glint flashing in his eyes.
The opportunity had finally arrived.
The Liuguang Sect Disciple who came to relieve him, although also a Second Tribulation Emperor in strength, had clearly just broken through, and after entering, he ignored Deng Zhong and sat outside to stabilize his Cultivation.
In his opinion, Deng Zhong was just sitting there, with his eyes closed and silent, so he only glanced a few times before no longer paying attention.
At this moment, unnoticed by anyone, a faint light permeated from above the head of the seated Deng Zhong.
This faint light, like a wisp of smoke, directly passed through the dungeon's Restriction and came outside.
And Deng Zhong in the dungeon, although appearing no different from before, still sat with his eyes closed, his chest still gently rising and falling.
But if someone skilled in the Dao of Divine Soul were to carefully examine him, they would find that he no longer had a Divine Soul.
What remained was merely a living shell, no different from a living corpse.
And that wisp of faint light was Deng Zhong's Divine Soul.
As an Elder of the Shangqing Immortal Sect, even after re-Cultivating, with only the Cultivation of a One Tribulation Pseudo-Immortal remaining, many of his methods were still beyond the imagination of people from these ordinary forces.
His current state was called the Ethereal Spirit Body.
It was an ability from a secret technique of Ethereal Primordial Spirit that he Cultivated.
He could separate from his Physical Body and take on this formless and invisible state.
In this state, he could not directly interfere with the outside world, but similarly, the outside world could not interfere with him.
Therefore, he could directly pass through Restrictions.
This was also his life-saving secret technique; now, even if Blood Corpse Old Ancestor, a Four Tribulation Pseudo-Immortal, came, he would not be able to detect Deng Zhong in his Ethereal Spirit Body state, and even if he did, he couldn't do anything to him.
However, such a powerful secret technique naturally came with a price.
The price was that once the Ethereal Primordial Spirit secret technique was used to separate from the Physical Body, it was equivalent to severing the connection with the Physical Body and could never return.
"Damn Zhong Qing... damn Liuguang Sect..."
Upon closer inspection, within that wisp of faint light, Deng Zhong's distorted face appeared, filled with resentment.
"This Elder will definitely make you pay an extremely painful price!"
In his previous life, his Cultivation path had flaws, causing him to ultimately remain at the Seventh Turn Pseudo-Immortal Realm, unable to advance further.
So he spent an enormous price to Reincarnate and re-Cultivate; to create this Physical Body that perfectly matched him, he almost exhausted his previous savings.
With this Soul Emergence, everything turned to naught.
It was imaginable how resentful Deng Zhong was.
"The Ethereal Spirit Body cannot be maintained for too long; I must first find someone to Possess, and then return to the Shangqing Immortal Sect to report to the Sect Master!"
Deng Zhong suppressed the resentment in his heart, circled a few times above the head of the Disciple on guard, then turned and flew out of the dungeon.
Even for a temporary Possession, he needed to find a Physical Body that was relatively compatible with him, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to exert much strength after Possession and might not even be able to leave the Spiritual Land.
Fortunately, in this state, no one in the Liuguang Sect, except for the mysterious Zhong Qing, was able to detect him.
He could slowly choose a suitable Physical Body for himself.
