Chapter 495: The Insidious Old Deng
"The Way of Life and Death? You mean the old man left something in the Stone of Life and Death? What did he want to do?"
Zhao Mu suddenly felt creepy and had a bold guess in his mind.
And the next moment, Wu Yulin confirmed his guess without a doubt.
"What else can he do? Naturally, he wants to take over another body and live a new life. Of course, he could also want to merge souls. I've heard of the name Old Man of Life and Death. He's a powerful independent cultivator with cunning methods. At his peak, he should be only one step away from breaking through to the Immortal Realm."
"He's been dead for at least a million years, how could his residual soul still possess another body, or even merge with another?"
Zhao Mu felt that his understanding was wrong. Isn't it true that the remnant soul can only last for about 100,000 years at most before dissipating? Even if it exists in a special environment or in a special object, it can only live for another 100,000 years at most.
"It seems your elders haven't told you this."
Wu Yulin didn't seem surprised by Zhao Mu's ignorance. He explained, "Ordinary residual souls naturally can't exist for a million years, but some special souls are exceptions. The old man who practices the way of life and death is an exception. Not to mention a million years, even tens of millions of years can remain intact.
However, possessing another's body is most likely not his first choice. Otherwise, he would not have waited until now to think about it.
I guess he wanted to live his life again based on his own Dao Fruit, but he failed, so this is just a second-best option."
Zhao Mu was slightly shocked.
It turns out that this so-called great opportunity is actually a trap. The old man Shengsi deliberately spread the news to lure those young people with good talents and choose a container from among them.
hiss~
Old Deng, who has lived for a million years, is really amazing.
"However, compared to others, you don't have to worry about the old man of life and death attacking you. With your powerful soul, if he dares to take over your body, you can just slap him and teach him a lesson. You might even find an opportunity to take away his fruit of life and death."
Wu Yulin had seen Zhao Mu's perverted soul and had guessed about the latter's origin. If he was really from there, and the old man of life and death dared to take over the latter's body, he would be seeking death.
When it comes to soul, the people there are second to none in the world.
"Old Wu, thank you for your reminder this time."
"We are partners after all. Since you are generous, I cannot be stingy."
"Hum~"
Zhao Mu chuckled. This old man Wu Yulin really knows how to deal with current affairs.
Although he would not be in any danger even without his reminder this time, Ji Qingyue, Ji Xuan and Ji Xuanxuan were different. They were very talented. If they were targeted by the Old Man of Life and Death, they might be killed.
"what happened?"
Wu Yulin hid in the soul ring, and his communication with Zhao Mu could not be detected by outsiders, but Ji Qingyue noticed that his expression changed slightly.
"Brother-in-law, what's wrong?"
Ji Xuanxuan and Ji Xuan also looked over curiously.
"Nothing."
Zhao Mu smiled and shook his head, saying, "I simply think that this concept of life and death is quite interesting and might suit me."
As he spoke, he threw the discarded Life and Death Stone aside, and then took the remaining three Life and Death Stones in his palm to comprehend them. He didn't know if it was because of his extreme luck, but the remaining three stones also contained a hint of life and death.
As expected, as his control over the realm of life and death increased, his sensitivity to the Stone of Life and Death also became noticeably stronger.
Zhao Mu sensed that there were a dozen Life and Death Stones hidden about thirty feet deep under his feet.
"Next, let's act together. I'll look for them and you guys will collect them. As for understanding the life and death realm within the Life and Death Stone, leave it to me alone."
Ji Xuan and Ji Xuanxuan certainly had no objection to their brother-in-law's suggestion.
The concept of life and death is good for my brother-in-law. They are so happy that they can't contain themselves. They hope that my brother-in-law can inherit the inheritance of the old man of life and death.
As for the two of them, they already have a clear path and have no need for the inheritance of the Old Man of Life and Death. Otherwise, they would not have never thought about trying to comprehend the meaning of life and death.
But Ji Qingyue was different. She keenly noticed Zhao Mu's abnormality.
Of course, she didn't say much, but quietly held Zhao Mu's hand, and connected with his soul almost instantly. Obviously, some things could only be communicated in this way.
"In the end what happened?"
As soon as the soul connection was successful, Ji Qingyue asked with concern.
Based on her understanding of Zhao Mu, there was obviously something wrong with what he had just said, because Zhao Mu was always a man of his word, and he would only occasionally change his mind on women's issues, such as his attitude towards her.
But it was obvious that the old man Shengsi was just an old man, not a beautiful girl at all, and Zhao Mu had said long ago that he would bite off more than he could chew.
"There's something wrong with this Life and Death Stone..."
Under the soul connection, Zhao Mu was not worried about the conversation being leaked at all, and told Ji Qingyue the conclusion he had just reached.
After hearing this, Ji Qingyue's expression darkened slightly, and she was obviously a little angry about the truth, but at the same time, she immediately asked with concern: "Are you really not going to be affected?"
After all, he was a famous figure a million years ago. What if he has some magical means...
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
Zhao Mu gave a very firm answer.
Anyone who breaks into his soul space will be killed.
Back then, the little goblin Yan Xinian had wanted to get some useful information from the soul space, and even wanted to take advantage of it to control him and turn him into a puppet, but in the end he was countered by Zhao Mu, who even directly attacked the opponent's soul space in the opposite direction. If it weren't for that strange portal, all the secrets of the little goblin would be revealed to him without any cover.
To be honest, Zhao Mu felt a chill all over when he thought of this goblin.
Because this is a woman who is even more difficult to deal with than the previous heroine.
She is smart, knows how to use her own advantages, can see through his inner thoughts at a glance, and even acts very boldly.
Thinking back, just to gamble on that bit of humanity in him, he even used his own life to test it. If he didn't have the Purple Rhythm Divine Spring, the little goblin would have really died at that time.
The Hehuan Sect is one of the most powerful top-tier forces. During this Fire God Festival, we might encounter this difficult Hehuan Sect demon again.
Yan Xinian, Duanmu Liang, Ji Qingyue, Yan Qingyue...
Zhao Mu didn't even dare to imagine the scene of so many women gathered together.
After the soul connection was severed, Ji Qingyue did not show any abnormality.
As for Zhao Mu, with no worries, he would of course choose to collect as many Life and Death Stones as possible. The things on the list were all treasures.
"What? Brother-in-law, are you saying that there are a lot of life and death stones right under our feet?"
Ji Xuan looked surprised.
"If my brother-in-law says there is, then there must be."
Ji Xuanxuan played the role of Duobao Tongzi and took out a cone-shaped object from the Qiankun Ring. "This is the Earth Spirit Cone. I was planning to use it to dig holes when I can't find a cave when camping outdoors. Now it comes in handy."
The moment he saw this thing, Zhao Mu felt both amused and helpless.
Duobao Tongzi really lives up to his name, he even has things like this.
However, this saves them the trouble of digging it themselves.
You don't know until you see it. It's shocking. The things that Ji Xuanxuan took out were all sixth-grade spiritual weapons. She dug the hole very quickly. In just a dozen breaths, she dug thirty feet down.
More than a dozen life and death stones were successfully dug up.
