In a certain secret room, Ning Bin, who could neither speak nor move after being imprisoned, could only cast his cold gaze at the Taoist Gui Qiong in front of him, whose aged eyes were unfocused.
The current Taoist Gui Qiong did not have a single trace of the aura of a Qingyun Realm Daofather, his entire body was withered and skinny like an evil spirit, and every breath he took was accompanied by a loud noise, as though he would die at any moment.
But facing Ning Bin’s cold and detached gaze, Taoist Gui Qiong seemed to have a sense of taste, as he focused his turbid gaze on an oval shaped inscription stone in front of his forehead.
A wisp of faint yellowish mist seeped out from between his eyebrows and slowly imprinted itself onto the stone. Following that, tiny but complex lines of patterns began to appear on the stone.
After a moment, Taoist Gui Qiong’s expression was extremely tired, the light yellow mist seeped out from between his eyebrows and was unable to keep up, the seal on the stone tablet was forced to stop, suddenly, Taoist Gui Qiong was gasping for breath, the turbid blood seeping out from his mouth and nose drop by drop.
“It’s complete, it’s finally almost complete. With the source energy of my primordial spirit, I can seal my life’s Dao Techniques and Divine Powers. This stone is truly miraculous. It’s worthy of being called a spirit possession treasure second only to the Stone of Three Lives!”
When he turned around and looked at Ning Bin, a ghost like smile appeared on his wrinkled face, and he said: “You don’t have to look at this old man like that. Being able to provide this old man with a decent body to possess is your honor. The only way for the legacy of the Heaven-Shaken Sect to continue to exist is for me to possess the power of the Dao Realm, and that is the most important thing ….
Taoist Gui Qiong paused here and panted twice, as if those two words alone made him extremely tired. He then said: “From this point of view, not only should you resent this old man, you should also be filled with gratitude towards me!”
After he finished speaking, he ignored Ning Bin’s fiery gaze and just closed his eyes to rest. After a while, he probably felt that he had recovered some of his energy, and strands of faint yellow origin soul once again seeped out from between his brows.
After repeating this several times, and finishing the seal carving of the Heaven Punisher Divine Arts, the already extremely weak Taoist Gui Qiong had already lost all of his power to even stand up. Even his originally turbid eyes now looked like they were blind, as his entire person gave off an aura of decay and defeat.
However, at this time, Taoist Gui Qiong slowly raised his arm that was as thin as dried wood, pointed it towards Ning Bin’s mouth and said: “It’s time, after you finish speaking your last words, you have to welcome a new life, and this old man’s life will also continue on.”
Ning Bin looked at him coldly, his gaze not showing any fear of being possessed at all. He said: “I only have one question, and that is about the matter of you wanting to possess. Does Senior Brother Zhang know?”
“Eh?”
Taoist Gui Qiong was slightly startled, then immediately started laughing out loud, to the point where his crumbling body could not take it anymore. Without laughing twice, he started coughing violently, and with great difficulty, he stopped coughing, and said: “I’ve brought you from the Magnetic Birth Mountain to this place for more than a year, do you think Zhang Yueming knows or not?”
Ning Bin’s expression instantly changed, as though half of his energy had been drained, and he muttered to himself: “Is it really so? Where is the friendship between fellow disciples! ”
“Childish, how can we choose between a Dao Realm Patriarchs and a Dao Realm Patriarchs? Is there still a need to hesitate?”
Taoist Gui Qiong said disdainfully.
Ning Bin simply closed his eyes and did not say anything. His expression, however, seemed to ease the burden in his heart, but at the same time, seemed to be as calm as if he was appointed.
“It’s time, let’s begin!”
Taoist Gui Qiong looked at the stone tablet that floated in front of him, and a demonic fanaticism suddenly ignited in his eyes.
Layers of light lit up the sky above him. The remaining of the Taoist Gui Qiong’s primordial spirit source all poured into the inscription stone, and in the end, even the stone itself was surrounded by a thick layer of yellow light.
When all the essence and spirit energy in Taoist Gui Qiong’s body entered the stone, his body that had already aged to the extreme suddenly straightened up, and his eyes lost all color. Then, like a deflated ball, he collapsed on the ground without any signs of life.
But a long sigh came from within the stone. After that, it lefrail of light in the air and went straight for the center of Ning Bin’s brows.
At this time, Ning Bin’s eyes that were originally tightly shut suddenly opened. He looked at the stone that was rushing towards his forehead, and a taunting smile appeared on his face.
The Primordial Spirit of the dome, which was hidden within the Stone of Inscription, sank down for no reason. It could vaguely sense that a great danger was about to befall it.
At the same time, the secret room, which was originally lit up with a few luminous pearls, was suddenly opened above his head, and a piercing sunlight instantly sprinkled into every corner of the secret room. Even Ning Bin raised his head and closed his eyes tightly.
“Yang Junshan, how could it be you?”
“Old thing, you’re actually using an evil technique to harm me!”
A familiar voice reached Ning Bin’s ears, causing him to unconsciously heave a sigh of relief. When he opened his eyes, he faintly saw a large hand within the eye-piercing halo of light grabbing onto the jumping inscription stone in midair, and at the same time, it was as if a wisp of light yellow smoke was emitted from the inscription stone, then concealed within the halos of light that filled the sky and escaped.
Then, the glaring halo above the secret room was suddenly covered, Ning Bin could finally see Yang Junshan descending from the sky above.
“Old thing, you escaped fast. Luckily, I was able to make it in time and was just a little bit away. Brother Ning, you’re not you!”
Yang Junshan looked around the secret room, his gaze stayed on the dead body of the Taoist Gui Qiong for a moment, before he spoke witone of ridicule.
“Thanks a lot. It looks like Ouyang wasn’t as silly as he looks, but shouldn’t you remove the restrictions on my body first?”
Ning Bin was not surprised by Yang Junshan’s sudden arrival, he did not feel lucky about dying, as though all of this was within his expectations.
The restrictions set up by the Taoist Gui Qiong were extremely difficult for Ning Bin to break, but it was very easy for him to break it.
Slowly standing up, he moved his body that had already become stiff, relieving the vital energy and blood in his body. Ning Bin looked around the secret room once, and could not help but praise: “As expected of the Grandmaster of formations, Gui Qiong actually did not notice before you broke open the restrictions he had placed in the surroundings.”
Yang Junshan searched the body of the Taoist Gui Qiong for spatial bangle, and also found a few treasures and accessories, then he used his divine sense to check if there were any other hidden places in the surrounding, and asked: “What plans do you have next?”
“I need to stabilize my Cultivation base. I need to borrow the secret chamber on the western mountain foeriod of time!” Ning Bin’s tone was very calm from start to finish.
Only now did Yang Junshan realize: “Oh, your cultivation has actually already risen to the Taihang Realm.”
“Forced advancement!”
Ning Bin curled his lips, and said witone that seemed to indicate something: “Since you have been chosen as a cauldron by someone, your cultivation naturally cannot be lacking. Otherwise, after seizing the body, you would actually just be a Adept Realm Cultivator, who could you hold in such a state?”
When Yang Junshan heard this, he laughed: “Although the Western Mountain is not very big, but a few cultivation rooms are very abundant!”
“It’s already considered doing the right thing, there’s no point in going back. Let’s go!”
After he finished speaking, Ning Bin took the lead and walked out, but after he had just taken two steps he stopped and said: “Right, there’s already a Heaven Punisher Dao Art seed carved into the inscription stone. It’s best for you to go into seclusion and refine it as soon as possible, it’s carved from the origin soul of Guiqiong, be careful of what he’s doing on top of it.”
Yang Junshan laughed, and said: “I did not have to worry, but even if that Guiqiong managed to escape, I’m afraid he would not be able to protect himself.”
“What do you mean?” Ning Bin’s body stopped as he asked.
The magnetic mountain itself was a gigantic magnetic field, and after being used by the Heaven-Shaken Sect to construct an enormous formation, it was extremely difficult for a Dao Realm existence to directly enter the surroundings of the magnetic mountain using their spatial abilities. At this moment, the Immortal Soul stage was snatched away by Yang Junshan, and their physical bodies could not return, leaving them with only a strand of their Nascent Soul which directly floated from the surroundings of the magnetic mountain into the Heaven-Shaken Sect.
Fortunately, the Taoist Gui Qiong himself was a Great Clan Elder of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, and without alerting anyone, he directly entered the Spirit Origin Chamber in the Heaven-Shaken Sect.
Zhang Yueming, who was in closed-door cultivation, was the first to be alarmed. Following that, he was shocked to see a strand of his primordial spirit converging in front of him, gradually forming the outline of a Taoist Gui Qiong.
“Senior, you …” Zhang Yueming asked in shock.
“Yang Junshan, it’s Yang Junshan. How could he know about the secret room that I went into closed door cultivation in? That’s only a temporary place that I chose, no one knows about it!”
“Yes, yes, it’s that Ning Bin and Yang Junshan had colluded long ago!”
Taoist Gui Qiong suddenly understood, and then stared straight at Zhang Yueming who was in front of him and roared: “Look at you, these senior brothers and sisters, each and every one of you have already secretly linked to Heaven-Shaken Sect’s mortal enemies, you think you can resurrect Heaven-Shaken Sect’s prestige? This is simply daydreaming! ”
Finished speaking, he did not care about Zhang Yueming’s ugly expression, and directly ordered: “Quickly go and get the few body furnaces selected from the sect. I think it should be that Ouyang Xulin, although he is a little weaker than Ning Bin, but he is still far from satisfactory.”
Seeing that Zhang Yueming was still standing there, he immediately became angry: “What are you dawdling for? Do you know that the longer this old man’s primordial spirit is exposed, the weaker my strength will be?”
Hearing this, Zhang Yueming became even more calm, and leisurely walked down from the cultivation stone platform, saying: “Senior, could it be that you have possessed your body and escaped from Yang Junshan’s hands, compared to using up a lot of primordial essence, right?”
