Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 63: A powerful being who has achieved the first level of Taoism?

But just when Gong Xinying was excited and ready to take action, she noticed from the corner of her eye that Zhao Qi'an glanced at her casually.

Just one glance and she felt like she was falling into an icy cave.

She just felt her whole body stiffen and her breathing stagnated.

The innate crisis warning had never been as strong as it was now. It seemed to be pressing in from all directions, making it hard for her to breathe.

"what!!!!"

Just at this moment, a shrill scream was heard from the next room. The sound was so intense that it could be heard clearly even through the wall.

This sudden scream attracted Zhao Qian'an's attention and made him look sideways.

It was because of this that Gong Xinying was able to catch her breath from the suffocating feeling.

"Huh...huh..."

She knelt on the ground and took a few deep breaths, only then she realized that her whole body was soaked with cold sweat.

Something is wrong!
Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong.

The thoughts that came to her mind instantly suppressed her emotions.

That terrifying old man captured her, but didn't destroy her skills and didn't even find a rope to tie her up. Was it just negligence?

Zhao Qi'an hid himself so well that no one noticed his abnormality in the past ten years. But he appeared in front of me so easily today. Could it be because he was careless?
He... was certain that he couldn't hurt him at all!
At this moment, Zhao Qi'an felt the murderous intent recede. He turned back to look at Gong Xinying and chuckled, "She is alert."

He was not surprised by this alertness.

When he turned around and faced Gong Xinying, his eyes sparkled:

[Name: Gong Xinying]

【Bone age: 22】

[Life: God's descent (black), foresight (purple), metamorphosis (purple/gray), pain tolerance (blue)...]

【Loyalty: None】

[Qualification: Upper B (root bone dropped)]

[Cultivation: Fifth-grade Zhoutian Realm (cultivation damaged)]

[Do you want to lend him your life? After borrowing his life, you will randomly draw a fate entry, and there is a chance to see through a "destiny node" of the borrower]

As soon as Zhao Qi'an saw Gong Xinying, he had already checked her panel.

She possesses the rare purple attribute "Foresight", which allows her to sense danger in advance, which is a very practical ability attribute.

So she realized the danger of attacking herself and immediately gave up the idea.

However, what Zhao Qi'an really cares about are the other two items on her body - God's Descent (black) and Butterfly Transformation (purple/gray)
Black entries mean certain death. Although it is not immediate, it will eventually come true in the future.

Gray entries represent entries with "side effects" or negative effects. For example, Ugly Slave has a gray entry called "Miser".

These two types of entries are actually not rare, but the two entries on Gong Xinying are the first time Zhao Qi'an has seen them.

Last time he just took a quick glance and didn't have time to look closely at the specific functions of these two entries.

But this time, Gong Xinying has fallen into his hands, and he has plenty of time to see what happens.

Zhao Qi'an's consciousness moved, and he clicked on the entry of "God's Descent".

[God's Descent (Purple): Nourish the sinless body with the "Seven Bitter Desires" and welcome the Virgin Mary to the world! ]

The explanation of this term is somewhat puzzling.

Zhao Qi'an didn't know what the connection was between these "seven sufferings" and the seven sufferings of Buddhism, but he was more concerned about the second half of the sentence.

"Welcome the Virgin Mary to the world..." He repeated these words silently in his heart.

This so-called Virgin Mary is most likely the "Mother of Life" worshipped by the Salvation Church.

Is Gong Xinying, the so-called Red Lotus Saint, the "container" for the arrival of the "Mother of Life"?

This also explains why the term "God's Descent" is black.

I'm afraid that when the Virgin Mary comes to the world, Gong Xinying's soul will be scattered.

But...isn't this "Mother of Life" fabricated by the Salvation Church to deceive the ignorant people? Does she really exist?

If the "Mother of Life" really exists, then the various legendary divine methods are probably...

The Tao reaches the highest level!
When Zhao Qi'an realized that there might be a great figure who had achieved the first level of Taoism behind the Salvation Church, even if it was just a possibility, it made him very alert and he took the Salvation Church more seriously.

However, even if the "Mother of Life" really exists, it is obvious that there is something wrong with his/her condition.

Otherwise, why would we need to prepare a body like "Gong Xinying"?
Zhao Qi'an felt a little relieved when he thought of this.

He calmed himself down a bit and clicked on the entry for "Butterfly Transformation".

[Butterfly Transformation (Purple/Gray): Transform the body into a new one after nine transformations. Each transformation will make the body flawless and greatly improve the aptitude, but the life span will be reduced by ten years.]

This entry seems to be brought about by practicing some kind of martial arts.

Zhao Qian'an was somewhat surprised, because the ability brought by this entry seemed to be able to transcend the fourth-grade Yuantai realm, replace the Yuantai to nurture the new body, and force the old body to transform into a flawless body.

But the price is also very high.

If one's cultivation does not reach the level of "Heavenly Man", his lifespan will be no different from that of ordinary people. Even if one breaks through to the fourth level of Yuantai Realm, without a new body, the average lifespan is only 120 years.

Each transformation will consume ten years of one’s lifespan.

Nine times means ninety years of life.

How to afford it?
Zhao Qi'an finally understood why Gong Xinying, with a talent of only B level, could break through to the fifth level Zhoutian realm at such a young age of 22.

One must know that Zhao Nishang, who has the horoscope of one gold and three purples and is a top-notch talent, has only reached the fifth level of Zhoutian realm.

Obviously, Gong Xinying relied on this "butterfly transformation" fate term!

"I just don't know whether this entry is a unique talent entry that Gong Xinying was born with, or a skill entry brought about by practicing a certain skill."

The most commendable achievement of the present emperor, Emperor Tianwu, is the construction of the Heavenly Book Pavilion, which collected all the martial arts in the world. Almost all the martial arts of the sects and families in Daqian are in the Heavenly Book Pavilion.

But the "evil deeds" of the Salvation Church are obviously not among them.

And now, Zhao Qian'an has obviously developed a strong interest in the skills of the Salvation Sect.

This made him look at Gong Xinying with interest.

……

After realizing that there was no possibility of escape, Gong Xinying lost all hope, but her heart became calm instead.

Nothing more than death.

She was not afraid of death, but she felt a little regretful that she did not see Yuzhen before she died.

However, having a companion on the road to the underworld... doesn't mean I'm alone.

What surprised Gong Xinying was that when Zhao Qi'an saw her, he just stood there quietly for a long time without moving or even saying a word.

Just when she was confused, she found that Zhao Qi'an was looking at her with a playful smile on his face.

This expression made Gong Xinying, who had been as calm as water, suddenly tense.
