The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 178 The Bizarre Path of Dual Cultivation of Body and Soul and the Overlord's Armor Removal Point
As dawn broke, Li Zhen and his group had already driven out of the mountains and were gradually approaching Ruan Wenhu's camp.

Through Nguyen Van Biu's words, Li Zhencai discovered that Nguyen Van Ho's country was called Kalinan, which was also a small country in Southeast Asia.

This is not the same as reality.

This was a minor matter, and Li Zhen didn't pay much attention to it.

Along the way, besides sensing his connection with the little ghost, he observed the changes in his own body.

Li Zhen noticed that his hair was growing the fastest; his originally bald head had grown a short layer of black hair in just half a day.

However, the skin on his body does not heal as quickly.

By daybreak, nearly half of Li Zhen's body was covered with new skin, and in many places, his shinbones and muscles were still visible.

On his body, where new skin was growing, the original mucus slowly evaporated, allowing his skin to dry out again.

Where no skin has grown, the mucus has never dried.

After conducting a simple experiment, Li Zhen learned that the purpose of this special, foul-smelling mucus was to isolate his flesh from the outside world, so that the outer clothing would not rub against his flesh and cause severe pain.

So Li Zhen didn't wipe off the sticky substance on his body, even though it smelled very pungent.

After his skin gradually recovered, Li Zhen also noticed that although the snake-scale-like nail hyperplasia on his right hand had become a thin layer, it was still there.

The "corpse curse" that had afflicted him had not been completely lifted.

He could feel pain as he pierced his own flesh with a fine needle, but it was still less than normal.

This first physical regeneration did not completely solve Li Zhen's problem, but he was not disappointed.

Now, his body has recovered most of its strength.

Most importantly, after his body partially returned to normal, his yang energy also recovered to some extent.

Li Zhen tried it briefly and found that when his primordial spirit left his body, he no longer felt the terrifying floating sensation he had felt before.

The binding force of the body on his primordial spirit is much stronger than before.

Once his skin has fully grown back, Li Zhen feels that the yang energy in his body should be even stronger than it is now.

Given the current situation, as long as he makes some physical preparations, Li Zhen would dare to use his primordial spirit to leave his body and do things.

Of course, in his current state, he is no longer afraid of the sun, and the sun does not make him feel as uncomfortable as before.

Li Zhen squinted at the rising sun in the east.

He hadn't looked directly at the sun for a very long time...

The benefits that the method of resurrection brought to Li Zhen were not limited to this.

After the first "resurrection" was completed, the so-called "seed" of resurrection was planted, which would maintain the most basic yang energy for him. As a result, Li Zhen could modify his body much more freely if he wanted to.

The "Five Elements Evil Spirit Sublimation Method" cultivates the primordial spirit. Based on this method of resurrection, Li Zhen boldly modified his own body, which can be considered as cultivating both body and spirit.
Although it looks somewhat eerie...

When the car passed by the stream, Li Zhen asked Yuan Zhenxia to stop and rest for a while.

After washing his face in the stream, Li Zhen took off his tattered clothes and put on the clean clothes he had prepared.

Seeing this, Yuan Zhenxia also went into the water to take a bath and changed into clean clothes.

Back in the car, noticing the sun was too strong and the vampires huddled in the back seat were uncomfortable, Li Zhen went to the dense forest by the stream and found some large tropical plants to cover the car, preventing it from being directly exposed to the sun.

The car continued on its way.

About half an hour later, Li Zhen finally saw five distinctive mountain peaks standing on a flat area in the distance.

Of the five peaks, the two on the sides are the tallest and thickest, while the three in the middle are shorter but steeper, with very sharp peaks.

From a distance, these mountain peaks all appear reddish-brown, devoid of any life.

Noticing where Li Zhen was looking, Ruan Wenbiao forced a smile and said, "My older brother is over there. It's not far from the capital of Kalinan. If you're interested, you can go and take a look at the capital of Kalinan first."

Li Zhen suddenly said, "Are those three mountain peaks in the middle the place where the Overlord disarmed himself?"

Ruan Wenbiao's face stiffened.

After hearing Li Zhen talk about his older brother and the president, he knew that Li Zhen knew a lot of things, but he didn't expect that Li Zhen would know even such things.

Among the three siblings of the Nguyen family, his second sister, Nguyen Van Phung, was the most upright. She was intolerant of any wrongdoing and was a person who was so upright that she was even pedantic.

Both Nguyen Van Ho and Nguyen Van Biu were not only ambitious, but also ruthless in their methods. They were both people who would stop at nothing to achieve their goals. Therefore, when they were planning something, they usually did not tell Nguyen Van Phuong directly.

Neither of them told Nguyen Van Phung about the matter of burying the president's mother to disrupt the feng shui of the president's family, nor about the matter of the "Overlord's Armor Removal Site".

The reason why the Ruan family was able to rise to power was because of the "Overlord's Armor Removal Point".

This is the foundation of the Ruan family.

Logically speaking, in Kalinan, apart from Nguyen Van Biu and his elder brother Nguyen Van Ho, no one should know about the Overlord's Armor Removal Cave.

But now that such an important matter has been casually mentioned, how could Ruan Wenbiao not panic?
As the car approached the army's camp, Nguyen Van Biu's fear lessened considerably.

Regardless, he now had something to offer to talk to Detective Li.

Having come this far, Li Zhen had to give him some face.

However, after hearing Li Zhen mention the acupoint where the Overlord removed his armor, fear gripped his heart again.

Yuan Zhenxia, ​​who was driving, asked curiously, "What is the Bawang Xiejia acupoint?"

Li Zhen casually replied, "This is a special feng shui treasure land called 'Overlord Unarmored.' It is said that one divination governs three mountains, and the three burial sites of 'Overlord Unarmored' are connected."

"Do you see those three mountains in the middle? The first mountain on the right is a feng shui treasure land that can bring power, representing authority; the second mountain is a treasure land that can bring wealth, representing riches; and the third mountain is a feng shui treasure land that can bring wisdom, representing intelligence."

"As long as ancestors are buried in these tombs, descendants will receive corresponding benefits. For example, the first tomb is the one that brings power. If ancestors are buried in it, descendants will gain immense power and can easily rule a country and become its rulers."

Yuan Zhenxia laughed and said, "Is it really that magical? If we bury our ancestors in that lucky burial site, wouldn't we be able to possess countless riches?"

Li Zhen shook his head: "There are advantages and disadvantages. These mountains are all reddish-brown and have no vitality. The trees on them are all dead. Whenever there is a thunderstorm, these mountains will be struck by lightning."

"If the ancestors are buried in the first tomb of power, their descendants may gain immense power, but that person will surely be a tyrant who emerges from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, inevitably leading to a bloodbath."

“These three burial sites each have a lifespan of only twenty-four years. Although burying them in the wealth-generating sites won't cause too much backlash, once the twenty-four years are up, if you don't return here to make changes to the burial site, everything will become an illusion.”

The more Ruan Wenbiao listened to Li Zhen's words, the heavier his heart became.

He had only heard snippets of what Li Zhen was saying from his elder brother Ruan Wenhu, and based on that alone, he judged that what Li Zhen said should be correct.

In his view, no matter how Li Zhen knew these things, it couldn't have been without reason.

So this person's target is his older brother?

Thinking this, Ruan Wenbiao's heart pounded faster and faster. He had to find a way to notify his elder brother...

He lowered his head.

Looking at those mountains, Yuan Zhenxia sighed, "There are gains and losses, which is the most normal thing, but the price is a bit terrible."

"If it were me, I might choose to bury my ancestors in the Wisdom Cave. Twenty-four years of wisdom would allow me to do a lot."

Li Zhen said, "Wesley's ancestors are buried there."

Yuan Zhenxia asked in surprise, "Could it be that the reason why that gentleman was so wise was because of this?"

Li Zhen asked curiously, "Is Wesley very famous?"

According to his memory, in the plot of this movie, Wesley at this age seemed to be just a newcomer who had not yet made a name for himself.

Yuan Zhenxia was surprised by Li Zhen's words: "Who doesn't know Mr. Wesley? It is said that he owns a multinational company and has inexhaustible wealth. It is also said that he is interested in all kinds of strange and unusual things and loves to go on adventures in various places. He is a legendary figure among adventurers."

Li Zhen nodded.

I wonder if Wesley has arrived yet...

The car arrived at a bridgehead with a checkpoint. Nguyen Van Biu poked his head out, spoke a few words to the soldier who had stopped the car with a cold face, and the soldier then cautiously let the car cross the bridge.

After walking a short distance further, Li Zhen and his companions saw a sizable city ahead.

Upon arriving here, one sees soldiers armed with guns everywhere.

Nguyen Van Biu carefully explained, “This is a key military location; my elder brother and the president both live here.”

Li Zhen looked at Ruan Wenbiao.

Ruan Wenbiao shrank back and quickly said, "I can contact my older brother directly. Whatever your conditions are, we can talk."

Li Zhen silently reached out and cut the forehead of the trembling Ruan Wenbiao, taking some blood from the wound, and then plucked a few strands of Ruan Wenbiao's hair.

After smearing some of Nguyen Van Biu's own blood on his hair, Li Zhen burned the hair to ashes and smeared it on the fleshy demon statue he had taken from behind the banshee.

Finally, he used Nguyen Van Biu's blood to paint the demon's eyes scarlet.

Looking at the eerie, demonic statue, Ruan Wenbiao, his face deathly pale, already knew what Li Zhen was doing.

Sure enough, at that moment he heard Li Zhen say, "Do you still remember how the High Priest died?"

Ruan Wenbiao's pupils contracted.

He witnessed the death of the Gu Clan's High Priest with his own eyes.

The memory of that horrific scene sent chills down his spine.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt an itch on his face, as if maggots were crawling inside...

With a stiff smile, Ruan Wenbiao said, "Since you've come here, you must have a purpose. Whatever you want to do, I... I can help you."

“You are just one person. Although you know evil magic, it is impossible for you to fight against so many armies.”

“There are also protective measures in place around my older brother, so it won’t be easy for you to harm him or do anything else.”

This last sentence is clearly a veiled threat and implication.

Li Zhen simply said, "Your elder brother has gathered a lot of feng shui masters here? Perfect timing, I want to do something and I need the help of these feng shui masters."

Ruan Wenbiao wiped the blood from his forehead: "That's easy! As long as you let me go back and let me see my elder brother, not to mention those feng shui masters, even if you want more feng shui masters, I can find them for you."

“This is no big deal. My brother wouldn’t risk offending someone like you over something so trivial.”

"On the contrary, my elder brother might even cooperate with you..."

At Li Zhen's call, the red-eyed bat poked its head out from the basket on the woman's back and looked at Ruan Wenbiao, its red eyes slowly turning.

With his mouth agape, Nguyen Van Biu's eyes immediately went blank.

Taking the opportunity, Li Zhen asked, "What is your older brother Ruan Wenhu's birth date?"

Ruan Wenbiao blankly uttered a date that matched Li Zhen's expectations.

The red-eyed bat closed its eyes and hid behind the banshee.

Ruan Wenbiao jolted for a moment, then his expression returned to normal.

He rubbed his eyes in surprise and continued, "My elder brother is in dire need of someone as capable as you, which is why he sent me to advance to the rank of High Priest of the Gu Clan."

"If you're willing to help my older brother, he can find you anything you want in Garinan!"

Li Zhen didn't say anything.

Yuan Zhenxia asked, "Where are we going now?"

"Let's find a newsstand." Li Zhen glanced forward.

They have now entered the city.

Ruan Wenbiao quickly said, "I know where the newsstand is. Just go straight, forward, yes..."

Nguyen Van Ho held a high position in Kalinan, second only to the president, and there were numerous reports about him in local newspapers.

Li Zhen asked Ruan Wenbiao to pay for several suitable newspapers.

Seeing a handcart loaded with straw pass by, he casually pulled a small handful of straw from the cart into his hand.

Back in the car, Li Zhen hid the straw and carefully tore off the photo of Ruan Wenhu from the newspaper, which looked seven or eight parts similar to the landlord. Then he tore off another photo of Ruan Wenbiu.

As soon as Yuan Zhenxia started the car, he saw a group of heavily armed soldiers blocking the way.

"What should we do?" Yuan Zhenxia turned to look at Li Zhen.

He knew that whatever Li Zhen wanted to do wouldn't be easy, because Li Zhen had killed many of Ruan Wenbiao's men on the Gu Clan's side.

Don't be fooled by Ruan Wenbiao's nice words. Once Ruan Wenbiao escapes Li Zhen's control, it's obvious he will seek revenge.

It's obvious at a glance that Ruan Wenbiao is a ruthless and vicious person.

Li Zhen looked at the soldiers in front of the car, then at Ruan Wenbiao.

Ruan Wenbiao, whose face was even paler, argued, "It has nothing to do with me. I didn't spread the news. This is my elder brother's territory. My appearance... probably attracted attention."

A woman in a dark green military uniform stepped out from among the soldiers in front of the vehicle, frowning as she looked at Yuan Zhenxia, ​​who was driving: "Is Wenbiao in the car?"

Looking at Li Zhen, Ruan Wenbiao swallowed hard, not daring to speak rashly.
