Wet viviparity

Chapter 846 Self-Talk, All I Have

"coming!"

Inside the cave, Jiang Heixiao welcomed Ji Ming inside.

After passing through twelve haphazardly placed, filthy shadows, we arrived at the innermost stone chamber, where two stone chairs were placed opposite each other, and a small table stood between them.

"Is it necessary for me to come and greet you? It would be too strange for me to come and greet myself." Jiang Heixiao sat down with a thud, picked up the wine cup on the table, took a few sips, and seemed to be a little drunk.

Ji Ming didn't say anything, but sat down and casually placed the Yuanbi Ruyi aside, which made Ruyi shake it unhappily.

"This treasure cannot be left lying around."

Jiang Heixiao quickly took the Ruyi, looking as if he couldn't put it down.

"Change of plans."

“I know, the moment you have a thought, I know that I am yours, just like your brother.”

As Jiang Heixiao spoke, his expression changed, and he became slightly unnatural.

He suddenly paused for a while, realizing that he had broken free from the game of self-questioning and self-answering, and that in these words he was subconsciously trying to explain that he was not a second primordial spirit with spiritual wisdom.

Jiang Heixiao returned to his self-questioning and answering, saying, "The plan has changed. Hanbojiang and Dayunfujiang are merging and bordering each other, but they have forgotten about Nanhuojiang, where I am. In that case, what Zen Master Caihu said about casting the spell during the great change is nothing but a joke."

Ji Ming chuckled, and Jiang Heixiao smiled in return.

He said, "Master Caihu would never joke. He probably didn't expect that I could rise to prominence and change the Yunyu Temple's plan to merge the three border regions."

Imagine if the three border regions were to meet. Those who ventured into these regions from the four corners of Taiping Mountain to engage in magical battles would all become bargaining chips in the hands of the Cloud and Rain Temple. Even the strong wills of the mountain elders and True Lord Lu might not remain unmoved.

"It was indeed a good move, but I didn't expect that Zen Master Caihu would also miscalculate."

"He seemed to know about the merger of the three regions in advance, so he deliberately left a curse mark on my back, hoping to use this favor to trick me into joining him." Jiang Heixiao nodded as he spoke, his expression now identical to Ji Ming's.

"The secret scroll of Li Zhu explains the changes in Hanbo territory. Zhao Duluo, who was originally an antique symbol, was revived by the Golden-Headed Warrior of Yunyu Temple who had infiltrated the area. Several juniors with deep accumulation of knowledge temporarily broke through and used their potential to enter the fourth realm to escape. However, Ding Ruyi and Mingyue Tongzi are still in the territory, and their fate is unknown."

Lu Zhenjun's secret scroll contained only one sentence: "Do not come to the Great Cloud Floating Border."

Jiang Heixiao looked thoughtful and said, "Why does Lu Zhenjun think I can break through to the fifth realm so quickly? Even if he knows the situation in Nanhuojiang, the fragmented information he has is not enough to support his conclusion."

"intuition!
This requires no intelligence support.

Imagine someone fighting relentlessly alone in the Southern Fire Frontier, once blasted by a raging thunderbolt, once pierced by a giant crossbow bolt, surviving two near-death experiences, and even forging a wish-fulfilling treasure along the way. It wouldn't be surprising if he then achieved a leap in his cultivation.

"Ha ha!"

Jiang Heixiao burst out laughing and said, "That's right, when the bizarre becomes the norm, then nothing is surprising anymore."

“Ding Ruyi is a good boy and a good disciple.” Jiang Heixiao’s expression suddenly turned serious. “I still remember that sentence he often said when he was young.” Ji Ming recalled the past and told him Ding Ruyi’s words, “My mother often taught me that a good man should not lose his integrity, should not be ashamed in front of others, should not shrink from power, should not lose courage before death, and should act with the grace of a dragon or snake, and be true to his nature as a man.”

Then, she said softly, "I know he stayed behind to protect Mingyue Tongzi, which is why he lost his chance to escape. This child is becoming more and more responsible."

Jiang Heixiao stared at Ji Ming and said, "I have already lost Shu Si. If I lose my beloved disciple Ding Ruyi as well, He Guan will surely suffer a heavy blow. Although I have all the power in my hands, I still need a talented He Guan to support me in spreading the Tao, educating the people, and making contributions to the Tao."

Therefore, the plan has changed, and the second primordial spirit body should now be used as the final preparation for the nascent soul to ascend to the Crimson Palace.

Ji Mingwei sighed almost imperceptibly and said, "I shouldn't have been so impatient. You still have a lot of value waiting to be discovered, but the drawbacks of the second primordial spirit refined by the Three-Three King Scripture are still too obvious."

Even a day as husband and wife brings a hundred days of kindness; you are already showing signs of spiritual insight.

Jiang Heixiao did not deny it, and nodded, saying, "My secret connection with you has been spotted by the Old Ancestor Kuma. He will definitely share this secret with many people to ensure that this secret will never disappear. In addition, although the Pleiades Star Official does not care about this kind of secret, it cannot be ruled out that he is secretly calculating it."

The best way to eliminate the hidden dangers right now is to completely dissolve the second primordial spirit. Otherwise, if these hidden dangers accumulate for a long time, they will eventually collapse like an avalanche.

However, if one were to refine it further, the methods for cultivating the second primordial spirit in those orthodox scriptures would be quite difficult.

“It’s alright. After the infant is refined, its lifespan will be sufficient. We can refine it slowly after the great calamity has subsided.” Ji Ming said, raising his hand.

He held a Guiyuan Needle, used for refining the Dao Organs, between his fingers, and pressed it against Jiang Heixiao's brow, piercing into the Great Revolving Treasure Bone of his Dao Organs. At the same time, he said, "Jiang Heixiao, is there anything else you want to say?"

“Little Qinggu, you know her nature. She was just led astray by the Crying Ancestor. After you get rid of the Crying Ancestor, can you follow your original plan and let her go back to the Little Thorn Gorge of Earth Hill so that she can devote herself to cultivation and attain the complete Dao?”

Ji Ming said, "If she can truly awaken to the truth because of your death, realize that it was because of her attachment to hatred that she caused the death and destruction of her beloved, and that the confusion in her heart is greatly dispelled, and she is willing to return to Xiaoci Gorge to cultivate in seclusion, then I will naturally be willing to help her."

If you are unwilling to return to Little Thorn Gorge, I will show no mercy.

Jiang Heixiao shook his head and chuckled, saying, "I belong to you, and my feelings also belong to you. These words of mine are also your words. Why do you have to put on such a show, as if you can stand aside from this situation?"

The self-destructive wisdom within your second primordial spirit is far from being strong enough to withstand such a situation. Even with your meticulous mind, you wouldn't tolerate it.

Ji Ming remained expressionless and silent for a long time, seemingly finding it boring. He then stopped his heartfelt self-revelation and began reciting the incantation for refining the internal organs.

"With a mind free from worries and without attachments."

Return to your original state, find peace and freedom.

When body and mind are in harmony, the mind is clear and lucid.

All phenomena are without self; the Way returns to its original source.

At the same time, a lamp wick lit up above Jiang Heixiao's head, and his physical body and primordial spirit began to be refined into the purest yang essence by this Yuanmo Life Lamp.

During this process, an expression unfamiliar to Ji Ming appeared on Hei Xiao's face, revealing a joyful expression, as if he were seeing something new for the first time. This was the last trace of the remnant wisdom of the second primordial spirit.
