Rebirth of the Supreme Celestial Being - Chapter 728
Chapter 728 – To Cultivate the Body with Evil Qi
After entering the room, You Ming and the others were all there. Even Feng Jingyu sat there.
When Feng Jingyu saw Yan Huaizhen, he just glanced at him with the corner of his eye, snorted coldly, and set his teacup down on the table with a heavy clack, indicating that Yan Huaizhen was not welcome.
Yan Huaizhen had to bow his head under someone else’s eaves. When Feng Jingyu didn’t give him any face, he just touched his nose and said nothing.
You Ming raised his eyebrow. “I was going to leave Northern Liang City directly that day, but Zhonghua said that your attitude changed sharply from when you first saw the corpse. Naturally, things happen for a reason. You didn’t look unconcerned, but fearful instead. So we waited here for a few more days. Since you came to find us, you probably understand everything, so we don’t have to beat around the bush, do we now?”
You Ming also didn’t like this brother-in-law. When he wanted to enter Yan Zhonghua’s house, this brother-in-law really tried to stir things up and even contributed to Yan Zhonghua losing his right to the throne.
He was not like a brother at all, more like an enemy.
Yan Huaizhen found a stool to sit down on. “Naturally, I understand. Every month, Tu Feng goes to the Northern Border, saying he wants to see how the soldiers are training. Thinking about it now, he should be going there to replace the evil gu for them.”
Speaking of this, he looked at Yan Zhonghua, frowning and wondering, “But how did Gege know that he would definitely leave Northern Liang City in the near future?”
How did Yan Zhonghua know?
Naturally, Yan Tianhen told him.
However, Yan Zhonghua did not expose Yan Tianhen, instead he said according to what Yan Tianhen told him, “The evil gu is a gu worm that is formed by condensing a mass of evil Qi into liquid and then using special Daoist techniques on it. This kind of evil gu consumes a lot of evil Qi. If they are used to control people for at least a month, they need to be replaced by a new batch. Otherwise, the evil Qi will be exhausted and the evil gu will disappear. After that, the corpse will collapse and be exposed, so it can no longer be used.”
Yan Huaizhen nodded clearly and then talked about what had happened between him and Tu Feng, but he focused on how Tu Feng used those troops to help him break out from Yan Zizhang’s encirclement and regain the Northern Liang City, although he did also talk about Tu Feng’s previous abnormalities…
“To be honest, I already suspected his identity long ago.” Yan Huaizhen sighed. “One day, I entered his room without knocking. Unexpectedly, I saw a mass of purplish-black Qi. The Qi gave me a cold and fearful feeling. I quickly withdrew. After guarding the door for a while, Tu Feng came out from the inside as if he had never left. When I went in again, the Qi was gone.”
Yan Tianhen never spoke up in this conversation, but when he heard this, he couldn’t help but say in a deep voice, “I’m afraid the ball of Qi is Tu Feng.”
Lin Xuanzhi raised his eyebrows slightly. “But evil Qi is a Qi of Heaven and Earth, just like spiritual Qi. How can it be possible for evil Qi to turn into a cultivator on its own?”
Yan Tianhen said, “Spiritual Qi can’t work, but evil Qi can. It’s just like how spiritual Qi can’t be turned into spiritual creatures, but evil Qi can be turned into evil creatures. However, to cultivate the body with evil Qi was merely something written on the ancient records. I can only say that there’s a possibility, but I’ve never seen such a case either. Moreover, once someone like that succeeds, they will have the power to destroy Heaven and Earth.”
Yan Tianhen’s heart sank and said, “It’s also possible that I guessed wrong.”
“You should be right.” Feng Jingyu said with sullen eyes, “When I was in Northern Liang Palace, I once saw Tu Feng’s face turn purplish-black, and later it reformed into his current facial features.”
Ling Chigu was clearly the one who said this, but Feng Jingyu kept that to himself in order to protect Ling Chigu.
Yan Huaizhen gasped in fright. His expression looked more and more ugly and pale. Obviously, he didn’t expect that the person who had slept with him for so long would actually be a mass of evil Qi. He couldn’t help feeling sick and nauseated when he thought of this.
“If he really got his body from evil cultivation, it would be terrible.” Yan Tianhen couldn’t help but get a headache.
The matter with Cangdi Fenglang hadn’t even been resolved yet, but another guy suspected to be even more powerful had popped up over here, which really made people uneasy. Everyone present looked at Yan Tianhen, who had a gloomy face.
Lin Xuanzhi asked, “What happens if you cultivate the body with evil Qi?”
Although it was obvious that you would become more powerful, it was always better to learn the specifics, so that everyone would be prepared.
Yan Tianhen took a deep breath and explained, “To cultivate his body with evil Qi means that every strand of his hair is made of evil Qi. Moreover, the amount and degree of evil Qi from air to liquid to condensed form increases hundreds or even thousands of times. Tu Feng is equivalent to a huge mass of evil Q that’s alive. He can change his appearance and shape at will, and can even enter anywhere through the gaps like water, and we are helpless about that.”
Yan Tianhen looked around at the crowd. “I don’t know how high his cultivation is. Anyhow, if such a person had appeared in the Great Immortal-Demon War ten thousand years ago, it would be difficult to say whether the Daoist cultivators could’ve won or not.”
If even Yan Tianhen said so, then it could be seen just how powerful Tu Feng was. Yan Huaizhen faltered and almost fell off the stool.
Feng Jingyu’s expression turned unsightly. “I’ll burn him to death with fire.”
Yan Tianhen looked at Feng Jingyu. “Although your fire is very powerful, it doesn’t work well for this kind of thing.”
“Why? Aren’t all evil things afraid of a phoenix’s divine fire?”
Yan Tianhen answered, “That’s only for ordinary evil creatures. If you fight Tu Feng, I’m afraid your fire will only be able to scratch an itch for him.”
Feng Jingyu said unhappily, “Then, are we just going to sit and wait for our deaths?”
Yan Tianhen shook his head. “If we just sit and wait for our deaths, we’ll be killed sooner or later. I suggest we all run away.”
Feng Jingyu: “…”
Other people: “….”
“These words increase the enemy’s morale and destroy our own prestige.” Yan Huaizhen forced a smile. “Nephew, don’t joke around.”
“Do you think I’m joking?” Yan Tianhen sat up straight, pointed to his nose and said solemnly, “I’m serious. In the Spirit Sect era, there was a book about evil Qi cultivators. It said that someone who cultivated their body with evil Qi was a monster beyond the six paths and outside of the five elements. Even ancient beasts couldn’t do anything to them, and they might even get mind-controlled and become swords to be wielded by such a monster. His cultivation is at least at Sky Realm as soon as he’s born. Even if we all join together, we still won’t be his match.”
Everything Yan Tianhen mentioned previously couldn’t really give the listener an intuitive feel of how powerful such a being was. Instead, the last sentence “at least at Sky Realm” made people feel uneasy, and even gave birth to the idea of retreat.
That’s Sky Realm ah.
Looking at the whole Nine Lands, only a few people could reach the peak of Earth Realm’s Grandmaster Stage. Just what kind of realm could a Sky Realm cultivator reach? Among the people present, except Yan Tianhen and Lin Xuanzhi, who had experienced the ancient era, others just had a vague concept. They felt that Sky Realm masters could probably move mountains and seas, steal the sky, and replace the sun. In short, it’s something they couldn’t afford to provoke.
Yan Huaizhen was almost suffocating. If he’d known that he had provoked such a terrible thing, then even if he was killed and taken away by Yan Zizhang’s Black and White Crow Guards, he still wouldn’t want to become a puppet in Tu Feng’s hands. Originally, he and Tu Feng just took what they needed from each other. Their relationship was one dominated by benefits. How could there be any actual feelings between them?
Yan Huaizhen couldn’t help crying. His fingers were trembling nervously, and he looked at Yan Zhonghua as if looking at a life-saving straw. “What should I do? What can I do? I can’t just do nothing and wait for him to kill me, right?”
These days, Yan Huaizhen could “see” the dead bodies crawling with insects that were sent to him that day as soon as he closed his eyes. Every time he thought that the people serving him were actually walking corpses, he felt cold and nervous. He was also afraid that Tu Feng, who was sleeping with him, would notice and turn him into something like that. After today, Yan Huaizhen would probably be too afraid to even sleep.
Yan Tianhen sighed and said helplessly, “One day’s effort alone can’t deal with Tu Feng, but it’s still uncertain whether he truly cultivated his body with evil Qi. If I can see him with my own eyes, I might come to a conclusion.”
“No, I’m sure.” Yan Huaizhen covered his face with both hands, as if he was about to fall apart. “He really is a monster who cultivated his body with evil Qi. On several occasions, some parts of his body turned into cold water and gave off a despairing and suffocating smell. He could go everywhere and always appeared beside me inexplicably — although I was in the secret chamber, he could also appear like it was nothing.”
Yan Tianhen: “This is troublesome.”
It fully matched the characteristics of cultivating the body with evil Qi mentioned in the legends.
Yan Zhonghua looked at Yan Tianhen and asked, “Is there no other way?”
Yan Tianhen shrugged. “It’s not like there’s no other way, but none of those methods can completely destroy him. Moreover, if you fail to kill him in a single blow, you will alert him to your plans, so you might lose your life.”
Yan Huaizhen, however, looked at Yan Tianhen with burning eyes. “If there is any method, just say it.”
Yan Tianhen thought about it. “An evil Qi cultivator not only likes spiritual Qi, but also hates spiritual Qi that has not been contaminated. As long as someone swallows a Spirit Gathering Pill containing the most pure and rich spiritual Qi into his stomach and copulates with the evil Qi cultivator, he can move the pill into the evil Qi cultivator’s body and purify a portion of the evil Qi inside the evil Qi cultivator. That evil Qi cultivator will naturally suffer damage to his cultivation base. However, this will neither kill him nor cause long-term damage. The gain is not worth the loss.”
Yan Tianhen continued, “But the most important point is that, because evil Qi cultivators want to prevent the evil Qi inside their bodies from leaking out, they will rarely have intercourse with people. Instead, the vast majority of them will directly swallow the spiritual cores in people’s Dantian Qi Sea that have been contaminated with evil Qi.”
Yan Huaizhen clenched his fist. A moment later, he said, “What if the evil Qi cultivator took the initiative to copulate with someone time and time again?”
Yan Tianhen looked at Yan Huaizhen strangely. “Then, either he likes that person, or that person has a pure Yin constitution.”
Pure Yin constitution.
“Why?”
