Zhong Qing, I will accept your disciple's physical body!

Sure enough, Deng Zhong, in his ethereal spirit body state, roamed freely within the Liuguang Sect, from the Great Emperors below to the Pseudo-Immortal powerhouses above; not a single person could detect his presence.

He also took the opportunity to gather information.

Besides the mysterious Zhong Qing, whom he somewhat feared and thus dared not approach Fuyun Courtyard, all other places were uninhibited for him.

Looking at the oblivious people of the Liuguang Sect, Deng Zhong sneered.

A sense of superiority spontaneously arose in his heart.

In the end, they were just a bunch of scums from the lower realms and low-level cultivators from small sects in remote areas.

Even if they relied on some means, how could their methods truly compare to his, an Elder of the Shangqing Immortal Sect?

They were all just trash.

He even disdained the physical bodies of these trash.

Not to mention those who came from the lower realms bearing curses, there was nothing worth seeing among the small sects in these Spiritual Lands.

Although Deng Zhong only planned to find a temporary suitable physical body, besides compatibility, he also had to consider its aptitude.

A physical body that was too inferior would be an insult to him, an Elder of an Immortal Sect.

However, it was worth noting that along the way, he indeed discovered that many people had the aura fluctuations of recent breakthroughs.

It seemed that what Nether Monarch Wang Yan had said about collective breakthroughs in the dungeon earlier was not false.

From the fragmented words in their conversations, it could be heard that they indeed relied on Immortal Artifacts to safely transcend their tribulations and break through.

“Hmph, to actually use precious Immortal Artifacts to help these trash break through.”

Deng Zhong snorted, “What a waste of heavenly resources!”

In his Shangqing Immortal Sect, even Elders found it difficult to get a chance to come into contact with true Immortal Artifacts.

Not to mention these small Emperor Realm and low-level Pseudo-Immortals.

However, besides the Immortal Artifacts, occasionally, words like “Master scared away the Emperor Tribulation” that popped out of these people’s mouths made him very confused.

What did “scared away the Emperor Tribulation” mean?

Could an Emperor Tribulation even be scared away?

Deng Zhong, unable to figure it out, did not dwell on it, merely assuming that these trash were ignorant and were just exaggerating after being amazed by Zhong Qing using an Immortal Artifact to resolve the Emperor Tribulation, so he did not take it too seriously.

After flying a few circles around the Liuguang Sect, Deng Zhong did not see any physical body that was too compatible.

He then thought that he could not waste too much time and decided to possess a decent Pseudo-Immortal.

As long as he could exert the strength of a Pseudo-Immortal, even if the physical body could not sustain him for too long, it would be enough for him to return to the Shangqing Immortal Sect.

“Zhong Qing truly possesses an Immortal Artifact; even the Sect Master cannot ignore it. A genuine Immortal Artifact’s value is already no less than the Heaven and Earth Xuan Jian, which contains two hundred thousand years of destiny.”

Although this time was a heavy loss for Deng Zhong, the news of the Immortal Artifact was extremely important to the Shangqing Immortal Sect.

Just by the merit of bringing back this news, it would be unreasonable for the sect not to compensate him.

Just as Deng Zhong was thinking this and subconsciously looking towards Fuyun Courtyard where Zhong Qing was located,

He saw a young man slowly walking down Fuyun Ridge.

At first glance, this young man’s cultivation was not very high, only at the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

But with Deng Zhong’s vision, he could tell at a glance that his bone age was very young, far from even ten thousand years old.

At this age, to have a Quasi-Emperor cultivation could already be called a prodigy.

But what concerned Deng Zhong even more was another matter.

He gazed at the young man, both surprised and delighted.

“This is… an Innate Dao Body?”

“Not just an Innate Dao Body, but also ten Innate Dao Imprints!”

Deng Zhong’s heart trembled.

To say it was merely an Innate Dao Body, it was nothing special to the Shangqing Immortal Sect.

But having ten Innate Dao Imprints, this was extremely rare.

Even in the Shangqing Immortal Sect, disciples with such a physique would be highly valued.

Moreover, for Deng Zhong in his current state, it held even more extraordinary significance.

The Innate Dao Body has a great advantage: it has a perfect compatibility with any power, which is also why cultivation is twice as effective with half the effort for an Innate Dao Body.

In other words, this young man’s physique also had an extremely high compatibility with Deng Zhong!

Not only that, being able to cultivate to the Quasi-Emperor level within ten thousand years also indicated that this young man’s talent was extremely high!

He was simply his best target for possession!

After possessing this young man’s physical body, he wouldn’t even need to replace it again upon returning to the Shangqing Immortal Sect; he would only need to refine this physical body through some secret arts and methods, and it would be no less than his previous one.

“Hahaha, Heaven truly helps me! I just abandoned my physical body, and a new suitable one is delivered to me.”

Deng Zhong approached, ready to seize the opportunity to possess him.

But he saw that the young man seemed to hold a high position within the Liuguang Sect; people saluted him wherever he went.

“Senior Brother Lin!”

“Senior Brother Lin Feng!”

“Senior Brother Lin, have you come out from Master’s place?”

Deng Zhong followed along and listened, understanding the young man’s identity.

“So he is Zhong Qing’s true disciple! No wonder, at such a young age and with such low cultivation, he can be called Senior Brother by these people.”

Deng Zhong was even more delighted and burst into laughter.

“This is truly a creation of Heaven, a cycle of karma and reincarnation.”

“Zhong Qing, you made me abandon the physical body I painstakingly created, so I will seize the physical body of your true disciple—an eye for an eye!”

“Once I report back to the sect and bring the powerhouses from within to capture you, this Elder will personally kill you with your disciple’s physical body. I wonder what kind of expression you will have then?”

Thinking of this, Deng Zhong seemed to already see that scene, and a hint of satisfaction appeared on his face.

However, having said that, he certainly could not make a move in front of so many people right now; otherwise, if he alarmed Zhong Qing, even if he possessed Lin Feng, he would not be able to escape.

But it seemed that Heaven itself was helping.

Lin Feng actually walked alone towards the outskirts of the Liuguang Sect, with a visible look of excitement on his face, though it was unknown what he was going to do.

But this suited Deng Zhong’s intentions.

Witnessing Lin Feng leave the Liuguang Sect like this and proceed forward.

At this moment, the surroundings were already deserted.

Seeing this, a sinister smile appeared on Deng Zhong’s ethereal spirit body face.

“This is you seeking your own death; don’t blame me!”

As his voice fell, he suddenly pounced towards Lin Feng.

During the charge, his ethereal spirit body also rapidly transformed, gradually changing from the undetectable faint light to a translucent divine soul body, exuding a monstrous aura all over.

This was also his trump card for confidently possessing a Pseudo-Immortal.

In his previous life, he was a Seventh-Turn Pseudo-Immortal; even after reincarnation and re-cultivation, his divine soul realm remained.

When his ethereal spirit body transformed into its current state, he could use secret arts to briefly unleash a portion of his power from his previous life, thereby controlling others through possession.

In this state, let alone an ordinary Pseudo-Immortal, even a Fourth-Turn Pseudo-Immortal like Blood Corpse Old Ancestor would be utterly unable to resist.

“Zhong Qing, I, Deng Zhong, will accept your disciple’s physical body!”
