Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 499 Three Conjoined Beasts (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Zhao Bao felt as if he were in an endless abyss of darkness, the thick darkness around him like a stagnant pool, completely enveloping him.

He tried to move his body, even just a finger.

However, his limbs were as if bound by invisible shackles, unable to move.

In this deathly darkness, two figures were frantically lunging at him, their twisted forms like ghosts, desperately trying to burrow into his body.

That's right!

They were forcibly squeezing into his body, as if trying to devour him bit by bit.

Zhao Bao stared wide-eyed in horror at what he saw. The two figures gradually became clear in the darkness, revealing themselves to be the terrifying conjoined twins!

Their mouths were stretched wide, almost reaching their ears, and were filled with sharp fangs that gleamed with a cold, icy light.

Their eyes were like those of demons, radiating a greedy and venomous light, as if they wanted to devour Zhao Bao's soul completely.

Zhao Bao tried to call for help and struggle, but his throat felt blocked, and he couldn't make a sound.

He could only watch helplessly as the conjoined twins bared their teeth and claws, lunging at him, and fear overwhelmed him like a surging tide.

suddenly!

A strong hand suddenly grabbed his shoulder, and a tremendous force pulled him violently.

Zhao Bao felt the scene before him change in an instant, and he was suddenly far away from the conjoined twins.

He watched as the conjoined twins' resentful faces gradually blurred in the darkness, eventually disappearing into the endless depths of darkness.

The next moment, Zhao Bao seemed to fall suddenly from the clouds, his body uncontrollably plummeting towards the ground.

The feeling of falling from a great height made his heart clench and his whole body tremble violently.

"what!!!"

Zhao Bao screamed in terror and opened his eyes instantly.

He gasped for breath, then suddenly sat up from the ground, his eyes still filled with lingering fear.

He woke up.

But everything that happened in his nightmare felt so real to him, as if it were still lingering around him.

Zhao Bao looked around blankly, only to find everything shrouded in a thick fog, severely obstructing his vision.

The ground and surrounding plants were a strange crimson color, which appeared even more eerie and terrifying under the shroud of mist.

"What is this place?"

Zhao Bao muttered to himself, momentarily lost in thought.

He clearly remembered that he was in a dark and deep cave before he lost consciousness, but the scene before him was completely different.

"Squeak!"

A strange cry suddenly came from the side.

The sudden sound startled Zhao Bao, and he quickly turned his head to look.

Then he saw a young man, and... a monkey?!
The ape was fiery red all over, about three feet tall, with a face as white as jade and golden eyes that rolled around, constantly pointing and gesturing at Zhao Bao.

The young man was extremely handsome, his face like a meticulously sculpted work of art, the kind that could charm countless young women.

Zhao Bao stared at the young man in front of him, his eyes widening in surprise.

He actually knows this person!

This man was the leader of the Way of Peace, the Great Teacher of Virtue!
"A dream within a dream... Am I still dreaming?"

Zhao Bao stared at the great and virtuous teacher, momentarily lost in thought.

In any case, he shouldn't have seen the Great Teacher here.

After all, the Great Teacher is far away in Qingzhou, thousands of miles away from these Hundred Thousand Mountains. The chances of the two meeting again in this lifetime are slim, so how could they possibly meet in these Hundred Thousand Mountains?

Therefore, Zhao Bao simply assumed he was still dreaming.

At this moment, the Great Teacher spoke:

"Brother Zhao Bao, we meet again."

Liang Jin's voice was gentle and steady, yet it gave people a strange sense of security in this gloomy environment.

"By the way, yours..."

At this point, Liang Jin pointed to his head:
Is there anything unusual about your thinking?

Liang Jin knew that his healing talisman water could cure physical illnesses, but it was powerless to treat psychological illnesses.

The high priest was playing a mysterious trick called possession, trying to infuse his own consciousness into Zhao Bao's body.

Faced with this situation, Liang Jin was unsure whether the healing talisman water would be effective.

Zhao Bao stared blankly at Liang Jin.

The air around him was bitterly cold; with each breath, it felt as if ice shards slid down his throat and into his lungs, making him shiver involuntarily.

The chill emanating from the ground felt like countless tiny needles, piercing straight into the bones.

After a moment, Zhao Bao finally realized that he was not dreaming.

This realization startled him so much that he jumped up from the ground, his finger trembling as he pointed at Liang Jin, exclaiming in surprise:
"What kind of demon are you?!"

"It can actually transform into the appearance of the Great Teacher of Wisdom?"

"The Great Teacher is a highly accomplished master. If you impersonate him like this, you will surely be subdued by him using the Five Thunderbolts Orthodox Method!"

Once Zhao Bao was certain he wasn't dreaming, he concluded that there was something wrong with the great teacher before him.

After all, no matter what, a great and wise teacher should not appear before one's eyes.

But this place... is truly eerie!
The things that the conjoined twins had taken Zhao Bao to see were indeed no different from demons.

Zhao Bao even suspected that the Liang Jin in front of him was actually an imposter from the conjoined twins!
Liang Jin waved his hand, signaling Zhao Bao to calm down:

"Don't get excited, sit down first."

"If we talk about things from when we first met, wouldn't that clarify things?"

Then, Liang Jin told Zhao Bao about how the two of them first met.

As he spoke, he carefully observed Zhao Bao's reaction to see if he could match the details of the past.

After chatting for a while, the two finally confirmed that neither of them had any problems.

Then, Liang Jincai told Zhao Bao everything about when he met him.

After hearing this, Zhao Bao was also momentarily bewildered.

"I was actually in a coma for over a month..."

"Are you sure that conjoined twins are really dead?"

Zhao Bao asked with lingering fear, the conjoined twins having left a deep shadow on him.

The last person who left him with psychological trauma was Cao Xian, the man skilled in torture.

But the shadow Cao Xian cast on Zhao Bao was nothing more than physical pain.

But the conjoined twins were like vengeful ghosts and demons, bringing Zhao Bao the shadow of another dark world, a fear that penetrated to the very soul.

Of course, Liang Jin wouldn't take out the Reincarnation Embryo to show Zhao Bao the corpse of the conjoined monster inside.

But he answered truthfully:
"They are indeed dead."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Bao finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and his tense nerves relaxed a little.

If what he experienced underground was a nightmare, then let the nightmare end here.

Then, Liang Jin told Zhao Bao about the princess leading the entourage to be buried at Longling.

Zhao Bao was very excited upon hearing this:
"It was actually Her Highness the Princess who came in person?"

"Lord Gu is here too?!" "Quick! Take me to them!"

Zhao Bao had already keenly realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

As a eunuch, he worked for the royal family in the palace.

Princess Kangning, Zhao Xiling, was undoubtedly one of the most esteemed members of the royal family.

As a member of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, Gu Jinfu, a third-ranking officer, was a powerful patron he longed to have.

If he can perform well in front of the two of them this time, he will undoubtedly have a great opportunity to change his destiny.

Liang Jin, however, continued to gesture for Zhao Bao to calm down, pointing to Zhao Bao's body and saying:
"Haven't you felt it yet? The internal energy in your body is abnormal."

"I think you should figure out your situation first."

"If you act rashly, I'm afraid you'll explode and die."

When Liang Jin examined Zhao Bao's injuries earlier, he noticed that Zhao Bao's dantian and meridians were not in good condition.

His meridians seemed to have been forcibly widened, and his dantian seemed to have been filled with a large amount of internal energy.

These strange symptoms made Liang Jin think of one possibility—the transfer of internal energy!
The so-called "transfer of skills" means that a master passes on his life's work to a novice, enabling the novice to become a master overnight.

This situation sounds easy.

However, in reality, it is very difficult to achieve.

Otherwise, if a master passes on his skills to his descendants before he dies, and the descendants then pass them on to their descendants before they die, and so on, wouldn't that eventually create a super invincible master?

It can't be that easy.
Even today, the transmission of skills is often treated as a secret method and is mastered by only a very few people in the world.

Furthermore, even the transmission of skills requires extremely stringent conditions.

In the world today, it is said that only the Taishan Beidou Wanfo Temple in the martial arts world has a method of transmitting skills called "Tihu Guanding".

But Liang Jin believed that Wanfo Temple was definitely not the only institution that possessed the secret techniques for transmitting martial arts.

He strongly suspected that the Hualongmen sect also possessed the secret technique of transferring power.

Sect Master Yu Linglong is a super expert artificially created through the transfer of her skills!
Otherwise, at the tender age of nineteen, Yu Linglong would have no chance of becoming a second-grade martial artist!
Although Liang Jin did not know the secret of the power transfer, he felt that Zhao Bao's current situation was very similar to the legendary power transfer.

Zhao Bao's meridians were opened, making his breakthrough in cultivation level completely unimpeded. He was even infused with a large amount of internal energy, making his advancement in cultivation level as easy as if it were a natural process.

Now, all he needs to do is digest all this internal energy, and his cultivation level will surely stabilize at a new level very quickly.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Bao hurriedly began to carefully sense his own body.

This feeling surprised him as well:
"How...how could this happen to me?"

"Did you do something to me?"

Zhao Bao looked at Liang Jin in alarm, his eyes filled with fear and confusion.

He could already feel a powerful surge of internal energy within his body.

Although this internal energy is currently quiet, it contains immense power.

This power was so strong that Zhao Bao was terrified, feeling that if it were to be unleashed, he would be instantly pulverized.

Liang Jin said:

“This has nothing to do with me, but I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing.”

"You should focus on your cultivation now and see if you can make that internal energy work for your own use."

"Don't worry, I'll be here to protect you and I'll definitely keep your life."

Hearing this, Zhao Bao had no choice but to do as he was told.

He had personally witnessed the power of the Great Teacher of Virtue, and in this unfamiliar and dangerous environment, he had no choice but to trust Liang Jin.

Immediately, Zhao Bao could only sit cross-legged and begin his cultivation.

Liang Jin stood quietly by, guarding the scene, and signaled to the Jade-Faced Fire Monkey not to disturb them.

As Zhao Bao began his cultivation, his aura indeed improved rapidly.

The internal energy that was poured in actually transformed into his own internal energy little by little after circulating through his meridians for one cycle.

His cultivation level is unimpeded and is rapidly improving.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Bao's cultivation level rapidly advanced from the sixth rank to the fifth rank!

When moving from the sixth rank to the fifth rank, one often faces a bottleneck that is difficult to overcome, like an insurmountable chasm.

But Zhao Bao's breakthrough was incredibly smooth, as easy as water flowing into a channel.

After Zhao Bao entered the fifth rank, he did not stop there. Instead, his aura continued to rise rapidly, and he was moving towards the next rank.

Upon seeing this, Liang Jin couldn't help but marvel:
"What an amazing secret technique! It can actually turn an ordinary martial artist into a master!"

"How exactly was this done? What price did it take to achieve such an effect?"

As for who passed on their skills to Zhao Bao, it's not hard to guess.

It must be the high priest!

The high priest wanted to possess Zhao Bao's body to complete his reincarnation.

It now appears that the High Priest not only wants to transfer his consciousness into Zhao Bao's body, but also wants to transfer all his life's power into Zhao Bao's body.

Thus, when the high priest completely takes over this body, he will no longer need to cultivate diligently, but will be able to become a master directly.

It's like the high priest had already fully renovated the house before the cuckoo took over, just waiting for the house to be ready for move-in.

Unexpectedly, due to Liang Jin's interference, the High Priest's efforts were in vain, and Zhao Bao ultimately benefited from the situation.

"It's a pity that the High Priest is dead, and this secret technique of transferring power has become a thing of the past."

"Otherwise, if I had obtained this secret technique, I would probably have become a top expert long ago."

Liang Jin sighed inwardly.

If he knew how to transfer power, he could directly have all his clones transfer their power to his main body, turning the main body into an unparalleled master.

This would undoubtedly make his life much easier.

Unfortunately, the high priest died too quickly, so quickly that it was impossible to save his life.

Many secrets about the Youhuan Clan will be buried forever with the death of the High Priest.

suddenly!

Liang Jin's expression hardened:
"Ok?"

"What's going on? Has he gone mad from his cultivation?"

At that moment, he suddenly noticed that Zhao Bao's aura was rapidly becoming disordered!
Little did Liang Jin know that Zhao Bao was about to encounter something incredibly terrifying!

A sharp, sinister, and evil laugh rang in Zhao Bao's ears.

Zhao Bao's scalp tingled instantly, and the hairs on his head stood on end!
Because he will never forget that laughter for the rest of his life!

When he opened his eyes, trembling, he slowly turned his head and saw a terrifying face!
That was a terrifying old man!
His face was extremely thin, with high cheekbones that seemed to pierce his paper-white skin. His eyes were sunken, like two black holes, yet they emitted an eerie green light, like a demon from hell.

"Hey Hey!"

Another burst of laughter rang out from the other side.

Zhao Bao turned his stiff neck and saw another face.

She was a vengeful old woman!

Her face was sinister and filled with malice as she stared intently at Zhao Bao, her wide-open mouth revealing sharp teeth, as if she wanted to devour him alive.

Zhao Bao then discovered something that horrified him—

He actually... got involved with them!

The backs of those conjoined twins were now firmly connected to Zhao Bao's back!
The old man was on the left, the old woman on the right, and Zhao Bao was in the middle!
The three of them together formed a conjoined monster!
