Wet viviparity

Chapter 849 Bewildered, Entering Xinjiang
"That man has escaped!"

Within the Demon Palace, the innocent voice of the illusory infant girl echoed, tinged with a hint of panic.

"Defection?"

Man Shenying didn't react for a moment, but when she did, she refused to believe it.

He said to the Void Divine Infant, “Sister, could it be that Ling Xuzi has already broken through in the face of battle? But how is that possible? Such a major breakthrough in cultivation level requires sitting in seclusion and focusing one’s mind, which would take at least several years.”

"Although he sealed my half of the Yin line, it was a part of my true spirit. Even if I cannot take it back, it doesn't mean I don't know where it is."

"It's possible that Lingxuzi sent that half of the Yin Yao (a type of hexagram) out of the border region."

“There’s no need to deceive ourselves.” The Void Divine Infant interrupted the Full Divine Infant, saying, “Variables are not terrible, at least not as terrible as being blinded by fear. Our formation may seem to have been disrupted, but we have not lost our chance of victory.”

As she spoke, she said to the dangerous Taoist deity performing the ritual on the altar, "Quickly send the Zhao Du Luo deity to the ancient burial chamber at the bottom of the mountain, and move the silkworm general here. The little Taoist priest inside the silkworm general will be a good bargaining chip."

"Will there be any problems with recruiting the God General Du Luo?"

Beside him, a fierce-looking man with a crimson horse body and a human face spoke up.

Before the other two evil spirits, Xu and Man, could refute him, the evil spirit continued, "I know that Zhao Duluo once invited the Xuan Niao clan of Qinghua Palace to personally calculate the mystery by the God Lord. With his profound numerology skills, he examined his past major events one by one, and even calculated his thoughts and intentions to ensure that there were no problems."

But we have suffered a lot at the hands of Lu Zhenjun in the past. His reputation within the mountain gate, his prestige in the two paths of Tiannan, and his weight in the hearts of the patriarchs were all raised because of our defeats against him.

Moreover, even if the past is meticulously analyzed down to the last detail, it may still contain hidden secrets.

"no the same!"

Man Shenying understood Xiong's worries, but still firmly believed that the gods would never make mistakes.

He said, “What you say may make sense. The past of a divine general is complicated and may be able to hide secrets, but his intentions and thoughts cannot be faked. You should know that when we reach such a deep level of cultivation, there is always a firm and unwavering great thought or a goal in our primordial spirit.”

If Zhao Duluo, the Divine General, is secretly attacked and retaliates against us in the future, such a great thought will also exist.

Furthermore, because it was forged from the true form of the Golden Ox, its thoughts are pure and unwavering, unshakable through countless eons, making it even more difficult to conceal under the calculations of masters of divination.

After a moment of silence, Xiong said, "According to the original plan, we first made Hanbojiang and Nanhuojiang border each other, and then urged Zhao Duluo Divine General to slaughter the Taipingshan disciples in the region, so as to test whether Lu Zhenjun had any hidden hand behind the Divine General."

Even though he was a powerful and ruthless figure who could stand by and watch his disciples die tragically for the sake of the Taiping Mountain cause, he still had a heart of flesh and blood, and there were always clues that would show.

But now a variable has emerged: Nanhuojiang has been excluded from the original plan, and the impact of this variable continues to grow.

Even if we abandon the plan to merge the three regions, we cannot escape this variable. Now we can only rely on the "mud roots" in the ancient burial mound to fully conceive the true form of the Ox-Golden Ox of the Zhao Du Luo Divine General, and to reappear the primordial spiritual light, in order to eliminate any possible hidden contingency plans in Taiping Mountain.

Xu Shenying said, "Right now, we should consider how to deal with the variable of Lingxuzi entering the Great Cloud Floating Territory."

"Let me do it!"

"This is what the God of Danger said."

"With the Mourning Gate and Dry Land outside restraining the two monks, the two old men, and their flying immortal Zhang, I, as one of the three gods, cannot stay in the Demon Palace indefinitely."

"Once I've moved General Duluo and General Can away, I'll intercept this Lingxuzi. I'd like to see just how deep this newly-formed infant's cultivation truly is."

The Void Divine Infant instructed, "Both the Mourning Gate and the Dry Land are highly skilled in escape techniques. No matter how many enemies there are, they can fight with ease. If you go to stop that Spirit Void Child, and the battle becomes a long stalemate, you must not linger in the fight. You must know that even if the three of us are here to support you, and even if True Lord Lu is hiding on the sidelines watching for opportunities, we may not be able to help you at all times."

"rest assured."

The Divine Path felt that the Void Divine Infant was making a mountain out of a molehill, but he didn't say anything. As soon as he replied, he sensed an unfamiliar aura descending from beyond the border.

"It seems he has been officially registered on the list of the Great Cloud Floating Frontier." The Six-Handed Ethereal God disappeared into the palace, his tone filled with anticipation.

In the warm, viscous darkness, consciousness was like being drowned in honey, and every attempt to "surface" was extremely difficult.

Her entire body was tightly wrapped in elastic silk, her broken cervical vertebrae had long since recovered, and her essence, energy, and spirit were constantly increasing during the cocooning process, which also reminded Ding Ruyi of her impending fate.

The murderous intent from the outside world was like a thorn in his back. Even through the barrier of the Silkworm General's body, he could still clearly sense Zhao Duluo's icy gaze.

There was no emotion in that gaze, only a calmness, which made Ding Ruyi feel even more uneasy and even fearful, causing him to breathe heavily.

Outside, the changes are intensifying.

Even though she was inside the cocoon inside the silkworm's body, and her primordial spirit and vision were isolated, Ding Ruyi could still "see" that incredible scene through the silkworm's subtle perception of the external energy.

A towering, dark blue mountain, over ten thousand feet high, arrived outside the Heavenly River Altar, at the boundary of the Cold Wave Frontier, and slowly came to a stop. Its location seemed to be very close to the mountain.

"ho"

A soft, bubbling sound was heard, and Ding Ruyi suddenly felt a sharp pain in her back.

Without any warning, a broadsword plunged into the silkworm general, its tip pressing into the cocoon inside his body and penetrating his spine.

"coming!"

When the moment actually arrived, Ding Ruyi was surprisingly calm.

He understood that Zhao Duluo did not choose to act at the moment when he was completely broken out of the cocoon, but at the moment just before he broke out of the cocoon, at the moment when the effects of the silkworm and the spirit cocoon began to weaken. The timing was absolutely perfect.

Just then, a cloud of emerald light reached out—no, it looked like it was about to smash down—and a jade mushroom could be vaguely seen within the emerald light.

As Yu Zhi was about to fall, a hand descended even faster, striking Zhao Du Luo, causing the distance between Zhao Du Luo and the ancient forbidden zone at the foot of Dayunfu Mountain to disappear, and making the god general and his short sword leave their original positions in an instant.

But the jade mushroom emitted a hazy, gray light, and the road distance reappeared. Zhao Duluo returned to his original position, and the short sword pierced the silkworm general again. Ding Ruyi, who was pierced once more, couldn't help but groan.

In the hazy glow, the Ruyi scepter beneath the jade lotus, its curved body, the golden light about to bloom at its neck, and the six-fingered hand holding it were all revealed. Ji Ming stood on the lotus, holding the Ruyi scepter, as if about to smash it down.

Just as he used the light of the Unfinished Ruyi to freeze this great supernatural power of the wrong path in its incomplete state, and was preparing to smash the divine general directly with the Yuanpi Ruyi, he suddenly became dazed, his mind went blank, and countless wrong paths arose in his mind.

This caused the thought of activating the unfulfilled wish-fulfilling light and wielding the primordial wish-fulfilling to go astray, failing to reach the physical body and put it into action. This momentary lapse caused the divine general to disappear from the spot again.

Six gray-white arms appeared from the void, intertwined at the wrists to form a ring, pointing to the sky and drawing lines to seal off the six directions. A sinister laugh came from all directions: "Lingxuzi, do you know that this road is blocked?"

Ji Ming looked enlightened, stood barefoot on the lotus, and said, "As expected of the God of Perilous Paths, it turns out that your Divergent Path ability can not only affect distance in reality, but also the thoughts in my mind and body."
