78: The third incarnation - Yuanci incarnation

“To so easily slay a True Core Realm great demon, it was certainly worth all my painstaking planning.”

The Yuan Lian Avatar raised a hand and pointed, and the Skinning Art descended.

Visibly, the Xiao Yue Lang's wolf pelt split open, and the fur quickly peeled away like a zipper, revealing the bright red muscle Texture.

With a thought, the wolf pelt adhered to his skin.

A few breaths later, the Xiao Yue Lang stood upright.

However, the light in his eyes was completely different from before.

The Yuan Lian Avatar stroked the wolf pelt, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

“This skin actually comes with the Xiao Yue Lang's Howling Moon Secret Art.”

“Although… its power is probably less than thirty percent of the original…”

As the Skinning Art improved,

the peeled off skin was not only complete, but could even mimic scars from old injuries accumulated over years.

It could even inherit the secret arts and methods of the original body.

“Excellent… now, even if that Jade Faced Fox Lady were right in front of me, she wouldn't be able to recognize me… now, I am the Xiao Yue Lang, haha…”

The Yuan Lian Avatar swaggered, transforming into a gust of demonic wind, and headed straight for the yuan magnetic profound ore vein.

After a cup of tea's time.

A gust of demonic wind swept through, transforming into a figure.

“Great King…”

“Why have you come?”

“Welcome, Great King…”

The demon guards were instantly startled.

The Yuan Lian Avatar merely waved his hand, indicating, “No need for formalities. This King needs to enter the depths of the mine to refine Evil Qi and repair weapons.”

“The great Divine Ability I will display will cause quite a stir, which is normal.”

“You don't need to pay attention, just guard the mountain gate.”

“Yes.”

Mining demons usually left the mining area only once a month to return to the Howling Moon Cave to report.

And to gather supplies.

Now, they had no idea that earth-shattering changes had already occurred outside.

And the Jade Faced Fox Lady would never have imagined that the severely injured Xiao Yue Lang, instead of finding a desolate mountain to recuperate, would dare to hide in the mining area.

It was a classic case of 'the darkest place is under the lamp.'

Before long, the Yuan Lian Avatar arrived at the heart of the mine.

He punched open the concealing rocks, revealing a dark mine shaft.

It was precisely where the Yuan Magnetic Spirit had appeared last time.

He stepped inside.

Looking around, there were premium yuan magnetic profound ores everywhere.

Drops of Yuan Magnetic Evil Qi flowed like water.

Unfortunately, there was no sign of the Yuan Magnetic Spirit.

This time, to refine the ore vein, the main body had prepared a special method.

It just so happened to restrain this spirit.

If it succeeded, it would save a lot of trouble.

Otherwise, refining the ore vein would take at least a hundred years.

The Yuan Lian Avatar pondered for a moment, then spit out a verdant True Core.

He cast a spell, and immediately, rolling black Qi emerged, forming a verdant phantom that enveloped the mining area.

It was precisely the Divine Ability, Forest Sea Obscuring the Sun.

It could conceal some of the commotion.

The Yuan Lian Avatar clapped his hands, a smile appearing on his face.

“Excellent… in that case, let's start refining from the heart of the mine…”

...At the same time.

Howling Moon Cave.

Hidden grotto.

The Jade Faced Fox Lady knelt on one knee, her expression respectful.

On the stone table in front of her, rested a six-tailed fox wooden carving, shimmering with dark light.

A blurry phantom appeared on it, with faint, large fox tails swaying.

Its aura seemed to span thousands of miles, yet it was terrifyingly powerful.

It was actually a Dongxuan Realm Demon King!

“Grandmother, the Xiao Yue Lang escaped gravely injured… but unfortunately, we haven't been able to find his whereabouts.”

“Unable to kill him completely.”

“Will this cause problems?”

The Jade Faced Fox Lady's expression was solemn, completely devoid of her previous alluring demeanor.

“No matter,” the six-tailed fox wooden carving spoke.

“Although you are an outsider demon, as long as you occupy Howling Moon Mountain, you are qualified to replace the Xiao Yue Lang and go on pilgrimage.”

“Counting the days, the Egg Sacrifice Ceremony is in another year.”

“At that time, I will unite with other Demon Kings to launch a joint attack.”

“During the chaos, I want you to fish in troubled waters and seize the sacred egg…”

“Yes.”

...Ten days later.

The Yuan Lian Avatar, who had been silently refining the ore vein, suddenly opened his eyes.

A slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“It finally appeared…”

In the depths of the distant mine shaft, a faint blue spiritual body reappeared.

It was the Yuan Magnetic Spirit.

The Yuan Lian Avatar held his breath and quietly approached.

One hundred zhang.

Seventy zhang.

Fifty zhang… “This distance… is almost the limit…”

The Yuan Lian Avatar held his breath.

Silently, he pulled out a blank scroll from his in my arms.

It was the method left by Gu Changsheng.

His painting skill had already been elevated to the seventh tier.

The ability of Devouring and Absorbing Origin Qi had greatly increased.

Initially, this ability could only devour a small amount of mortal lightning.

Now, it could even devour spiritual bodies.

Dealing with the Yuan Magnetic Spirit was more than enough.

For safety, the paper used to make the scroll was also extraordinary.

Gu Changsheng did not hesitate to deplete the Origin Qi of the Five Qi Summoning Origin Tree, cutting off a section of its main trunk.

After washing the pulp with kidney water and baking it with heart fire, he barely obtained a stack of spiritual paper.

This greatly increased its carrying capacity.

Gu Changsheng was confident that even a True Core Realm spiritual body or ghost cultivator,

once sealed within it, would not be able to escape for a moment.

Suddenly, the Yuan Magnetic Spirit's figure flickered, and it turned its head to look at where the Yuan Lian Avatar was hiding.

“Oh no… I've been discovered…”

Without further hesitation, the scroll unfurled in mid-air.

A white light flashed, transforming into hundreds of silken threads that bound the Yuan Magnetic Spirit.

Immediately, the Yuan Magnetic Spirit's face showed anthropomorphic anger.

But no matter how it struggled, it still could not break free.

These silken threads were the materialization of the power of Devouring and Absorbing Origin Qi, specifically designed to counter spiritual bodies.

“It really works…”

The Yuan Lian Avatar smiled, manipulating the spell.

The silken threads in the Void Realm continuously tightened, pulling the Yuan Magnetic Spirit back into the scroll bit by bit.

First, its lower body, then quickly spreading to its head.

Three breaths later, the light and shadow dissipated.

The scroll fluttered to the ground.

Picking it up, he saw that it now bore the portrait of a Yuan Magnetic Spirit.

“With the Yuan Magnetic Spirit sealed, the main body can't run away now…”

Half a month later, a stone wall trembled like tofu and melted open.

Revealing a ten-foot-square space.

In the center, a dark blue stone shaped like a heart grew on the stone wall, glowing brilliantly.

Inside the stone, dense Yuan Magnetic Evil Qi was almost solidified.

“Finally found it…”

The Yuan Lian Avatar revealed a faint smile.

He pulled out his Carry with you jade ruyi scepter, infused it with black Qi, which flashed with cold light, cutting at the stone wall near the Yuan Magnetic Spirit's main body.

Soon, a one-foot-square dark blue crystal wall detached from the wall.

The Yuan Lian Avatar picked it up, feeling a slight coolness in his hand, with wisps of Evil Qi seeping out and lingering on his fingertips.

From time to time, it shimmered with the Profound Light of Yin and Yang Qi.

It was the innate Divine Ability — Two Forms Yuanci Mysterious Light.

Hoo—

“This item is truly a treasure.”

“It comes with a Divine Ability.”

“Cultivating with this, I'm afraid I'll soon be able to comprehend the Two Forms Yuanci Mysterious Light.”

The Yuan Lian Avatar was overjoyed.

A moment later, the verdant phantom covering the mining area disappeared.

A pillar of light shot into the sky, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Yuanlian Island.

Immortal Cave.

On the lotus dharma platform, a dark blue crystal stone was placed.

Beside it, Gu Changsheng cast various spells.

Visibly, the one-foot-square crystal stone melted like flowing water, gradually revealing a human form.

Although the features were not clear, it bore some resemblance to Gu Changsheng's outline.

“Next is the most important step…”

Gu Changsheng used a secret method to split his Divine Soul, immediately breaking out in a sweat and turning pale.

“My Divine Soul foundation can only be split this one more time… unless I find Heaven And Earth Treasure that can strengthen the Divine Soul…”

Gu Changsheng endured the intense pain, and the separated Divine Soul slowly burrowed into the dark blue Yuan Magnetic Spirit's body.

With body and soul united, the Yuan Magnetic Spirit's body trembled slightly.

Its eyelashes fluttered.

A pair of azure eyes opened.
