In an instant, countless thoughts arose in Lu Li's mind, and under the deduction of the Great Dream Pivot, these thoughts continued to expand and differentiate.
Hundreds of spirits chanted the scriptures, which contained hidden supernatural powers of the soul, disturbing Lu Li's mind and causing turmoil in his sea of consciousness, making it impossible for him to calm down and think.
That old man must be hiding something from her. The uranium pill in her abdomen was getting smaller and smaller, and it was about to disappear. Lu Li's aura was also extremely weak, and she was just a hair's breadth away from turning back into her original form.
The Venerable One seized the opportunity and unleashed all the weapon spirits, condensing them into a giant blade. This blade had a strange shape, with a blade a hundred feet long and the back of the blade covered with human faces.
This sword is called the "Soul-Slaying Blade"!
"Good will prevail over evil! You vixen, prepare to die!"
The next moment, the power of the second uranium pill was fully displayed, and Lu Li's aura stabilized again. The steamed buns stopped intertwining, and the flower mushrooms stopped regenerating and disappearing.
Lu Li mobilized all the spiritual power from the seven spiritual cores in her body and poured it into the permafrost machine. Extreme cold air rose and twisted around her, condensing into a second giant ice lotus at her feet.
This ice lotus was larger than the previous one, with a diameter of four zhang. Compared to the Soul-Slaying Blade in the Venerable's hand, this ice lotus was too small, but the terrifying power contained within it was in no way inferior to the former.
Just then, the spirit finished its deduction and uttered five words.
"Reverse the Heavenly Dipper Instrument".
"what is that?"
The spirit of the artifact did not respond. In an instant, dark clouds filled the sky, and a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared, as thick as a snake, with fierce momentum, heading straight for Lu Li's head.
Duan Lao's heart skipped a beat. She had never expected that the spirit of the artifact would know about the existence of the Reversed Heavenly Dipper Instrument.
The Soul-Slaying Blade, the Ice Lotus, and the Lightning Tribulation converged simultaneously, unleashing a dazzling white light that completely enveloped Lu Li and the Venerable One.
Chapter 83 A generous reward will inevitably attract reckless men.
The blade light and the ice lotus collided first, the two completely different forces squeezing each other and bursting out with dazzling white light. Then the lightning python descended from the sky and intervened.
boom!
The forces of gray-white, azure, and bright yellow intertwined, resulting in a stalemate for a short time. The deafening sound spread for miles around.
It was late at night, and the townspeople in the town below the mountain were awakened by the loud noise. They were all terrified, some kneeling down to beg for mercy, others crying and shouting.
Miao Ergou mingled in the crowd, shouting things like "Mountain Goddess, spare my life!" The people around him believed him and followed suit.
Hidden among the crowd, the Tongxian Sect followers looked towards the mountain where the branch headquarters was located, their expressions grave. They knew something terrible had happened.
One of the monks twisted his mechanical eyeballs, stood on tiptoe, and strained his eyes to try and see the situation on the mountain.
"That white blade must be the work of the Venerable One, and that lightning python is a heavenly tribulation. Strange, where did this heavenly tribulation come from? As for that ice lotus... who created it?"
"Could it be that the Venerable One has broken through the Tribulation Transcendence, and his enemies have taken the opportunity to come knocking on his door?"
"possible."
"Oh no, look!"
Suddenly someone exclaimed that in this clash, the white power representing the Venerable One was extinguished first, followed by the blue power belonging to the unknown cultivator. The lightning tribulation held out until the end, and after absorbing the first two, the terrifying aftershocks it caused leveled half a mountain.
"Could it be that the Venerable One..."
"What nonsense are you spouting? Your cultivation is heaven-reaching, how could that be..."
Not all believers were loyal to the Tongxian Sect. The group had different expressions and talked amongst themselves, and soon split into two groups.
One group firmly believed that the Venerable One was not dead and wanted to go up the mountain to help, while the other group looked away, worried about being implicated, and were trembling with fear, almost wanting to leave first.
Unable to make up their minds, they all turned their attention to the cultivator with the highest cultivation level, a Spirit Pivot Realm cultivator who was in charge of town affairs since the Venerable One was not present.
However, he was now equally terrified. If the Venerable One were to fall, he would be next. Just as he was about to flee, an old and weak voice echoed in his mind:
"What are you all standing there for? Get some help!"
Upon hearing this, the man completely guessed the situation on the mountain. Ignoring the Venerable's telepathic message, he took out a mechanical chariot, placed dozens of spirit stones inside, and prepared to escape this dangerous place.
But his body wouldn't obey him; he stood there blankly, his head spinning, the light in his eyes fading, his movements becoming mechanical, like a puppet. He spoke slowly and deliberately to the crowd:
"The Venerable One has gained the upper hand, and that villain is at his last gasp. You all should quickly get on the vehicle and follow me up the mountain to assist the Venerable One in killing this scoundrel. Whoever cuts off his head will be rewarded with a Great Harmony Mystic Pivot."
"The Great Harmony and the Mysterious Pivot!"
The crowd's gazes immediately turned fervent, and the believers who had previously considered fleeing abandoned their thoughts of retreat.
They were naturally unwilling to be sent to their deaths, but since the Venerable One had gained the upper hand and promised such a reward, they couldn't be blamed for taking advantage of his misfortune.
After all, His Holiness is a man of his word and always keeps his promises.
A generous reward will surely attract reckless fools!
After making up their minds, everyone got into the car and rushed up Tiemu Mountain together.
……
At this moment, on the mountaintop, Lu Li struggled to climb out of the crater. The sudden lightning tribulation had caused her great trouble. She was now covered in injuries, her spiritual energy was not circulating properly, and most of her magical artifacts had malfunctioned.
Correspondingly, the Venerable One was not much better off, and in fact, her situation was even worse.
At the same time, with her powerful divine sense, Lu Li could clearly sense that a mechanical chariot was rushing up the mountain.
"What did you say to them that made them willing to die for you?"
"Hehehe, although I can't control everyone, I can control a few cultivators. As for the rest, they are all people who pursue fame and fortune. In their eyes, I still have some reputation."
"And then you tricked them into coming? To buy yourself some time?"
As Lu Li spoke, she walked towards the Venerable One, using her remaining spiritual power to condense the last ice lotus.
"Isn't this the kind of time I'm going to waste my life's reputation? Pfft..."
"Noisy!"
Before the other party could finish speaking, Lu Li threw out an ice lotus. The ice lotus exploded, blasting the old man more than ten meters away. His frozen corpse was thrown heavily to the ground and instantly shattered.
The girl narrowed her eyes, sensing that something was amiss.
"Ok?"
“Silly disciple, that was a puppet. Its real body just escaped. Well, given its condition, it probably couldn’t have gone very far.”
Why didn't you say so earlier?
"Ahem, your teacher, I only just discovered it myself. His puppet substitute is quite something. It's a third-level puppet, yet it can fool people and disguise itself as a cultivator in the Creation Realm."
"Never mind, let's find him first. We can't let him get away, cough..."
Lu Li walked with a limp, wiping the blood that had spilled from the corner of her mouth. The blood in this body was no ordinary substance; she couldn't recognize its origin. It seemed to be a special liquid that could carry spiritual power.
At this moment, the machine-engineered chariots charged towards them, and the leading cultivator shouted:
"Found her! This is the demoness! Quick, grab her! Don't be afraid, everyone, she's at her last gasp!"
"roll!"
With a single palm strike, Lu Li killed the charging cultivator using only her physical strength.
The believers rushed forward in a swarm, and they quickly realized something was wrong, but it was too late.
Lu Li was not in good condition, but she was not someone these ants could mess with. If she were in her prime, she would have crushed her directly. Now she could only rely on her remaining divine sense and physical strength, which would only require a little more effort.
"Venerable One, save me!"
"Venerable One, Venerable One, come quickly!"
"Has he already escaped, or... is he dead?"
The believers were either dead or fled, and the leader, a cultivator at the Spirit Pivot Realm, was also killed by Lu Li with three punches. These dozens of people bought the Venerable one five breaths in total.
The Venerable One's supernatural powers were broken, and the remaining artifact spirits also separated and fell to the ground, still standing there blankly, chanting scriptures continuously, continuing to attack Lu Li's sea of consciousness.
"I'm sick!"
Lu Li activated the Great Dream Pivot, and the Pear Garden appeared with her at the center. However, because she didn't have much divine sense, the Pear Garden was very small this time, only ten feet in circumference, and there were only about ten pear tree phantoms in it.
The pear blossoms burst into bloom, transforming into countless blades that aimed at the spirits present.
Faced with death, these spirits remained unmoved, simply standing still, continuing to chant scriptures until their own death.
From this perspective, these half-dead creatures have been thoroughly reformed by the Venerable One. They have seemingly lost the ability to think independently and are more loyal than living believers.
Chapter 84 All Pills Shattered
"Ugh--"
Lu Li sighed deeply. The uranium pill in her mouth had dwindled to the size of a sesame seed. The transformation time was about to end. She spread her divine sense to its maximum range, and the Venerable One seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.
The pear blossom blade fell mercilessly, reaping their lives. The spirits of the weapon, which remained motionless, became sitting ducks, no different from being targets without anyone to control them.
However, there was an exception. Faced with the oncoming pear blossom knife, one of the weapon spirits suddenly stopped chanting scriptures, dodged to the side, and avoided the attack.
"Huh? So you're here, you old codger!"
Lu Li noticed something amiss and was secretly delighted. She strode forward, turned the pear blossom knife around, and blocked the weapon spirit's escape route.
The next moment, Lu Li was greatly disappointed. The truth was not as she thought; it was not the Venerable's soul at all.
A spirit is a spirit, but this one is different. It seems to be alive? Or perhaps, this spirit wasn't properly tamed by the Venerable One?
The next moment, the spirit spoke in human language, though it wasn't very fluent.
"I... will take you... to... find him."
"You'd better not try anything funny."
"Avenge me..."
Surrounded by dozens of pear blossom knives, the weapon spirit changed direction and began to move northwest. Lu Li, worried that there might be a trap, followed at a distance.
Before long, the two arrived at a hidden cave.
There was a restriction at the entrance of the cave, but Lu Li broke it with a flick of his wrist. The old man was sitting inside, healing his injuries. He looked at Lu Li first and his pupils shrank in fright.
He then looked at the spirit that was leading Lu Li, and suddenly, as if realizing something, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed.
"You found me through your connection with the Mirror of Ten Thousand Souls? You were one step behind. I didn't lose to you, I lost to it!"
As he spoke, the old man shakily raised his hand and pointed at the spirit of the artifact.
"You remembered, didn't you?"
You deserve to die!
The spirit spoke haltingly, but its voice was filled with anger.
Lu Li didn't say much. She had neither the time nor the interest to hear the other's last words. With a wave of her hand, all the pear blossom knives shot towards the old man, slicing his body and soul to pieces.
Even now, Lu Li still felt uneasy, so he cut the old man's body into even smaller pieces and removed all the surrounding restrictions.
Hopefully, it won't come back to life now.
When the uranium pills were completely exhausted, Lu Li returned to his original form. A sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart, and he staggered back two steps before falling to the ground.
I landed on my chest, it hurt a little, but not too much.
"Uh, it seems to have gotten a little bigger again."
Immediately afterwards, Lu Li felt an unbearable itch below his body. He reached out and scratched it, and was so frightened that he jumped up.
"Why is there only one!"
The two uranium pills were completely consumed, perishing together with one of the demon pills, leaving him not even a raisin.
"Ahhh! No, no, how could this be? How could this be happening after countless eons!"
"Hahahaha! What did I tell you?"
"Ah!"
"Stop yelling. You're not at a loss anyway; at least you got a third-tier Spirit Core, right?"
"Oh right, the Spirit Core!"
Lu Li secretly made up his mind that he would eat more Bi'an Pills in the future to make up for the lack of Demon Pills.
Right now, only the Spirit Core can give him some comfort. Lu Li looked around and found a pile of broken mirrors among the bits of flesh scattered on the ground. He opened the mirrors and found a spherical mechanism lying inside.
This spherical mechanism emitted a soft white light. It was worn and dilapidated, with a deep crack on its surface that nearly severed it in two. A line of small characters was engraved on the surface of its spirit core—its model number.
