528: Possessed by an old man!

Inside Shi Chenghua’s body, Yang Yuansi suddenly pretended to be a very weak Divine Soul and said, “Alas… What is this place? How did I end up here?”

When Shi Chenghua heard this voice, his steps faltered, and he was instantly bewildered. What was that sound?

He quickly checked his body, only to find that an old man’s Divine Soul had appeared within him. The Divine Soul was ethereal and faint, almost transparent, as if it could dissipate at any moment, emitting a weak and unstable glow.

This discovery instantly excited Shi Chenghua, and even the female Cultivator next to him found him distracted when she spoke.

“This… Is this an old man?! Could it be that my cheat is finally here?”

“Ah, ah, ah… Could it be that after all these years of Cultivating, I, Shi Chenghua, am finally about to embark on my path to resurgence today?!”

He had heard all sorts of strange tales since childhood.

The most popular story in his area at the time was about a guy named Xiao Huohuo, who, as a child, found a ring, and to his surprise, an old man lived inside!

The most crucial part was that the old man was an unrivaled expert who led the young him to rapid advancement, eventually dominating the continent!

How similar was this situation to what he was experiencing now? Could it be that he, too, was about to encounter such an old man?

So he quickly asked, “Old man? Who are you? How did you end up inside my body?”

Yang Yuansi’s face showed a puzzled expression, and he responded very weakly, “I don’t know either. Have you recently acquired any treasures?”

“Treasures?”

Shi Chenghua asked, puzzled. Then he thought for a moment and suddenly realized, “Oh!!! That’s right! A few days ago, I passed by a place and bought an ordinary Earth Rank Magic Treasure there. Could it be that one?!”

“Yes! It’s that Magic Treasure. I remember now. My Divine Soul had been dormant inside that Magic Treasure until I sensed your Qi and gradually woke up.”

“So that’s it! No wonder I’ve felt my Cultivation Realm declining these past few days. So it was you, old man, absorbing my Cultivation Realm!”

Yang Yuansi was speechless. He looked at the female Cultivator beside him and then internally complained… Your Cultivation Realm probably wasn’t absorbed by me, was it???

…“Yes! My injuries are too severe, and waking up requires some Cultivation Realm, so I absorbed a little. Young friend, please don’t take offense.”

Shi Chenghua quickly said, “No, no! By the way, how did you end up in such a state?!”

“That’s a long story… I was once an unrivaled expert, dominating the world, with no one able to contend against me. But I was unexpectedly harmed by villains and besieged by multiple powerful experts. Although I resisted with all my might, I was ultimately outnumbered.”

“At the last moment, I used a secret method to Seal a wisp of my Divine Soul within that Magic Treasure, and I self-detonated the rest of my Divine Soul along with my Physical Body. This repelled my enemies, and I, too, fell into a deep sleep within the Magic Treasure, barely surviving until now, only recently awakening…”

After hearing this story, Shi Chenghua was also incredibly sad. He suddenly stood up and said to Yang Yuansi, “Senior, rest assured, this Disciple will do his best to avenge you!”

“Eh?… No, wait a minute, did I say I would take you as my Disciple?”

Upon hearing this, Shi Chenghua’s Divine Soul immediately knelt and kowtowed, saying, “Master, as the saying goes, when fate arrives, it cannot be stopped. You were dormant in a Magic Treasure, and I obtained this Magic Treasure. Now you have even absorbed my Cultivation Realm and awakened within my body. This is a rare and precious fate!”

“According to the normal script, I should naturally acknowledge you as my Master, and you should naturally accept me as your Disciple, right? The script always says so…”

Yang Yuansi was momentarily bewildered upon hearing this… He felt both annoyed and amused inside… This kind of Cultivator, he had truly never seen before… So he agreed, and told him not to reveal his existence to anyone.

Shi Chenghua was uncontrollably excited and quickly performed the master-Disciple ceremony. As for Yang Yuansi’s instruction not to expose him, he agreed with extreme decisiveness.

Are you kidding? In the stories he heard as a child, others couldn’t be exposed, and if they were, they were even captured by bad guys!

Then he blinked his small eyes, looking at Yang Yuansi’s Divine Soul with an expectant expression, which made Yang Yuansi feel a chill… “No… No, why are you looking at your Master? You should be chatting properly with that female Cultivator next to you. Why are you distracted?”

Shi Chenghua chuckled, “Master, where is my unrivaled Cultivation Technique?”

“What unrivaled Cultivation Technique?!”

“It’s the Cultivation Technique you’re going to pass on to me! Back then, Xiao Huohuo only advanced so quickly because he got an old man’s Cultivation Technique! If you don’t give me a Cultivation Technique, how can I grow quickly, reshape your Physical Body, and help you get revenge?”

…Yang Yuansi was also speechless, then he gave him a Dao Grade Cultivation Technique.

This Cultivation Technique was called the Spirit Heaven Imperial Qi Art. Runes flickered on the Cultivation Technique, and as soon as it was taken out, it exuded a vast aura.

Shi Chenghua was incredibly excited and quickly opened the Cultivation Technique to read it.

The characters within the Cultivation Technique seemed alive, with a subtle glow flowing through them.

Cultivating this Cultivation Technique allowed one to communicate with the Origin Qi of heaven and earth, circulating the Origin Qi within the body in a unique way. The speed of gathering Origin Qi was dozens of times faster than the Cultivation Technique he was currently Cultivating, and the quality of the Origin Qi was even purer.

If Cultivated to a high Realm, one could even control the Origin Qi within an enemy’s body. This was an extremely powerful skill!

Shi Chenghua held the Cultivation Technique as if it were a priceless treasure, incredibly excited!

And so, Shi Chenghua entered Wuji Pavilion with Yang Yuansi’s Divine Soul.

After returning to his residence, Yang Yuansi began to inquire about Lu Hao’s detailed information. So, under the pretense of wanting to understand his Disciple’s living environment, he had Shi Chenghua bring back a lot of character information from Wuji Pavilion.

Everything from the Pavilion Master Lü Chengtian, to the Grand Elder, Second Elder, it was all there!

Yang Yuansi flipped through it for a long time, but he still didn’t see Lu Hao’s information. He only felt bored; they were all Cultivators with low Cultivation Realms, not worth mentioning.

So Yang Yuansi deliberately asked, without leaving any trace, “Is Wuji Pavilion’s strength really this weak? Are there no more powerful Cultivators?”

Shi Chenghua scratched his head… “It seems like that’s all there is? Where else would there be other powerful experts? Our Wuji Pavilion’s strength is not weak; it’s still ranked among the top three in Thousand Stars State!”
