Simultaneous Transmigration: The Re-merging of 99 Selves

It has to be said that the situation just now was indeed somewhat similar to the star-level upgrade of chess pieces in Zhao Yu's previous life when playing games.

The feeling of the two Zhao Yus merging into one is quite wonderful.

Zhao Yu clenched his fist with one hand and sensed his body, somewhat surprised.

"This internal energy, and my bones and muscles..."

Originally, Zhao Yu had some difficulty controlling the vast internal energy he had absorbed through the Northern Darkness Divine Art, but now he could use it with ease.

Not only was there no sense of sluggishness, but it even felt like it was running faster.

Moreover, the merging of the two Zhao Yus nearly doubled his mental power, and he became more acutely aware of the changes within his body.

"What has disappeared is... impurities."

Zhao Yu suddenly realized that internal energy is something that everyone cultivates diligently, and it carries an extremely strong personal will.

Even if two different people practice the same technique, their internal energy may be different in nature.

Relying on the mystical power of the "Northern Darkness Divine Art," Zhao Yu could certainly absorb the power of others and use it for his own purposes, but he was ultimately bound to be influenced by the will of others. The more power he absorbed, the more destined he was to never reach the pinnacle in the future.

In the original world, this little problem wouldn't be a big deal. What difference would it make if you cultivated your martial arts to the extreme?

A hundred years from now, it will just be a handful of dust.

But things are different now. With the opportunity to connect all the heavens and myriad worlds, a few impurities might be the obstacle that prevents Zhao Yu from reaching the pinnacle in the future.

Fortunately, taking advantage of the "star-upgrade" opportunity, the spiritual power of the two Zhao Yus merged, instantly expelling the will that did not belong to Zhao Yu himself from his body, which made Zhao Yu more adept at using his internal energy.

Moreover, the benefits of upgrading stars don't stop there.

Zhao Yu raised a finger and scratched it hard on his left arm. His fingernail grazed the skin, leaving only a white mark.

"My physical body has also increased in strength by almost double, and this is without me having practiced any body-strengthening techniques. If I had practiced a technique like the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique, the scene would be..."

Just thinking about it made Zhao Yu want to laugh.

After this incident, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a surge of ambition: "Perhaps immortality is not such a distant dream after all."

After imagining the future for a while, Zhao Yu shook his head and came back to his senses.

After a moment's thought, he made a decision: "I don't know what the situation is outside yet. Although Ouyang Feng is dead, Sister Lin is still waiting for me. I should hurry up and get out."

Looking around, Zhao Yu had a thought, and his figure gradually faded in the chaotic space.

Before disappearing, he murmured, "Sun Moon Cult, Black Blood Technique, and Evil-Repelling..."

With the two Zhao Yus merged, there were naturally no more secrets between them.

-----------------

The scene shifts, and Zhao Yu is once again greeted by a pristine white landscape; the snow is still falling on the summit of Mount Hua.

In front of him, a beautiful figure was confronting Hong Qi.

"You surnamed Hong, if anything happens to my brother, I will never let you get away with this!"

Hong Qi looked ashamed: "Miss Lin, I..."

Zhao Yu smiled and called out, "Sister Lin, I'm alright."

Upon hearing Zhao Yu's voice, the beautiful figure in front of her suddenly turned around, her jet-black hair swung behind her, and a pretty face that could be both angry and happy appeared in front of Zhao Yu.

"Are you alright?"

Seeing Lin Chaoying's concerned expression, Zhao Yu felt a warmth in his heart and couldn't help but fall into memories.

Back in Xiangyang, when he was being chased by Ouyang Feng, he had another unexpected encounter, which was when he met Lin Chaoying, who had just run away from home, because he was injured.

At that time, Lin Chaoying was on her way from Xiangyang to the territory of the Jin Kingdom when she happened to save Zhao Yu.

Afterwards, the two went through another adventure, and Zhao Yu intercepted Wang Chongyang's plan. This time, the two of them came to Mount Hua together.

However, Zhao Yu showed no remorse for this. Someone as conflicted as Wang Chongyang would only hurt Lin Chaoying if she met him, unlike Zhao Yu who would only feel sorry for Sister Lin.

As for Wang Chongyang, let him continue cultivating his Dao.

When she came to her senses, Lin Chaoying was helping Zhao Yu and asking him how he was doing.

"After killing Ouyang Feng, you closed your eyes and remained silent. Did something go wrong with your training? Your White Rainbow Palm forcibly changed direction, which greatly depleted your internal energy. Could it be that you injured your internal organs?"

She was just that kind of woman; when she had feelings in her heart, her love was intense, and she didn't care about other people's opinions at all.

Of course, such a personality, if taken to extremes, can also cause serious harm.

However, with Zhao Yu present, Lin Chaoying probably won't hide in that dark ancient tomb anymore.

Zhao Yu raised his hand and gently patted Lin Chaoying's hand: "I'm really fine. I was just overwhelmed with emotion after avenging my great enemy. Now that my inner conflict is resolved, my martial arts have actually improved greatly. It's a double blessing."

Upon learning from Lin Chaoying that he had simply closed his eyes, Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that what exists in that chaos is only one's spiritual body, not one's actual physical body.

However, Zhao Yu secretly clenched his fist, his heart pounding with excitement. This real improvement was no joke; his cheat system had truly arrived.

Just as the two were whispering to each other, Hong Qi stepped forward with an apologetic expression and bowed deeply.

"Brother Zhao, I was confused about right and wrong just now, and I had to ask Lady Lin to save me. I apologize to you."

Just now, after the group talked, Hong Qi understood what had happened.

Even if Ouyang Feng is injured, he will not sit idly by and wait to die. He knows that Zhao Yu will never let him go, and Hong Qi cannot stop him.

Therefore, he had to find his own way to survive.

But right now on the top of Mount Hua, even Ouyang Feng at his peak couldn't defeat the others quickly, so what right did he have to threaten Zhao Yu?

After much deliberation, he set his sights on Hong Qi, who had stepped in to help.

With Hong Qi's back to him, it was the perfect opportunity to strike. Ouyang Feng planned to take Hong Qi hostage to threaten Zhao Yu and then escape.

However, Lin Chaoying, who was standing to the side, saw through it and interrupted her first.

Lin Chaoying was Zhao Yu's confidante. Ouyang Feng hadn't targeted her before because she was standing far away and it was difficult for him to make a move.

Now that she has come to him of her own accord, Ouyang Feng's attention has naturally shifted away from Hong Qi.

Then came the series of events that just happened.

Seeing Hong Qi step forward to apologize, Lin Chaoying glared at him angrily: "You scoundrel, you can't tell right from wrong. You've been confronting us for so long over a poisonous creature. If I hadn't intervened, that palm strike would have hit you. And you're just going to let it go with a casual remark?"

Hong Qi's apologetic expression deepened, but after a moment's hesitation, he raised his right hand and extended his little finger.

"I helped the wrong person, almost causing Brother Zhao to suffer. I'll cut off this little finger as an apology!"

Having said that, Hong Qi pulled a short knife from his waist and was about to strike.

"Clang~~~"

A black light flashed, and a wooden hairpin knocked the dagger out of his hand, sending it falling into the snow.

Following the trail, Zhao Yu slowly withdrew his hand: "Let's just forget it. It's freezing cold. If you bleed to death, I'll have added another sin to my list."

Lin Chaoying also came to her senses at this moment. She did not expect that Hong Qi's personality was so fierce, and that he would cut off his fingers at the drop of a hat.

Seeing Zhao Yu help her out of the predicament, she pouted and said, "In this snowy landscape, having your finger out of the way is such a spoilsport. You should save it for later."

She didn't want to see Hong Qi lose a finger either, but she still wouldn't let it go.

Hong Qi glanced at Ouyang Feng's dead body beside him and smiled bitterly, "You two are really something! I, a beggar, have learned my lesson."

After this incident, he will probably be more cautious about rescuing people in the future.

Meanwhile, Lin Chaoying was enthusiastically pestering Zhao Yu for answers.

"When did you learn this hidden weapon technique? Judging from your speed, you must have practiced for a long time, right? How come you still used a hairpin to throw it?"

Zhao Yu was somewhat lost in thought: "This move is called the Black Blood Divine Needle..."
