Chapter 2555

Hidden Spirit Lord is a super lifeform formed by the aggregation of microscopic organisms, and He Lingchuan still doesn't know whether it should be classified as animal or plant. This life form is, of course, completely different from humans.

"The essence of this research is to create a 'half-demon'." Hidden Spirit Lord is a great demon, and the Heavenly Demon wants to use it to breed with humans to produce the next generation— isn't that exactly a "half-demon"? Half human, half demon.

"This is not allowed by the laws of heaven and earth, just like oil and water that do not mix, and may even lead to violent conflict." Dong Rui said this, then took a breath, "The barriers of law are not so easily broken."

Zhu Xiuer gave a living example: "Violent conflict? Isn't Ailian just a successful case?"

"Don't just look at the success; you must also see the forty thousand failures below, or say, the unsatisfactory experimental subjects. Their existence shows that even though the method of He Hengyun and other demon puppet masters using human embryo sacs as primers is very brilliant, from conception to execution, this path is still full of thorns. And Ailian's success—"

"Must be that some key elements were used correctly." Dong Rui licked his lips, "Ailian's success has been in the past five months, and it's not a short time. If He Hengyun has figured out these elements through her, the divine body research will surely have a breakthrough."

People like him and He Hengyun, who are genius-type players, would never waste time for nothing.

And such progress may not be known to someone like Hu Xin, who is not a researcher.

Mingke Xianren then asked: "Who are the great beings stationed at Yanxia Bay?"

Hu Xin then mentioned the names of several heavenly gods.

When the name "Helu Tian" was spoken, a commotion arose in Doukou Garden.

Mingke Xianren said solemnly: "I know this time won't be easy, and I fear we might clash with the Great Heavenly Demon, but I didn't expect it to be Him!"

Zhu Xiuer also became solemn: "It's actually Helu Tian—I said that YunTai was strange!"

The Earth Mother's incarnation, the little stone person, looked at this, then looked at that, and couldn't help but say:

"Is this Helu Tian also a Great Heavenly Demon? Is it very strong?"

"Among the Great Heavenly Demons of the Lingxu Zhong, Helu Tian is not ranked among the top few, but its signature divine abilities are very formidable." Mingke Xianren said, "It is especially skilled in spatial divine techniques, whether in daily use or against enemies, it is very useful. Three thousand years ago, True Immortal Xiao Hanzi once led us two hundred immortals to set a trap and ambush more than ten heavenly demons; that battle was quite successful, except that Helu Tian broke through the encirclement and escaped."

"Xiao Hanzi is famous worldwide for his talisman formations— trapping someone is like trapping them in a land of death. Helu Tian not only escaped but also counter-killed ten immortals, truly remarkable."

"Is YunTai its divine form?"

"Looking at it this way, it's very likely." Mingke Xianren felt a surge of lingering fear, "Thanks to us not showing up at YunTai earlier, otherwise we might have been caught red-handed by Helu Tian! The abilities of magical artifacts and divine forms are not the same."

"If YunTai is the embodied divine form of Helu Tian, then our plan to seize the Hidden Spirit Lord's body needs to be reconsidered."

"Trying to make the divine form collapse— the difficulty is great."

Mingke Xianren continued to ask: "Are there any other high beings stationed here?"

Looking at Dong Rui's hand holding the bone-corroding water, Hu Xin shook his head like a rattle drum: "I, I only know these."

"Where is Helu Tian?"

"In, in Lian Valley."

Lingjin Baoqi said in surprise: "Lian Valley has so many great beings, yet it can endure Helu Tian's round-the-clock real-time monitoring?"

Hu Xin looked bewildered: "Real-time monitoring?"

Seeing his expression, one could tell he hadn't felt it. So Mingke Xianren changed the way of asking:

"Were these three small worlds built together?"

"Oh no." Hu Xin recalled, "I heard from those who were stationed earlier at Yanxia Bay that Lian Valley came first, then Yingkou Zhen, Liuli Hai, and finally Baiwan Shan appeared."

"So Lian Valley came first. Over the past many years, the Heavenly Palace has been dismantled by us and Mou Guo, destroying many demon puppet laboratories, and they have become afraid, so they simply moved the experimental grounds into the small worlds for easier control." Jingzi hummed in agreement, "I wasn't wrong, was I?"

"Hope our raid this time is still timely." At this moment, He Lingchuan also walked to the entrance of the small world, said this sentence, and then stepped out with one foot onto Baiwan Shan.

……

"How come you're only here now?" The maid Xiaoyun was waiting at the entrance of Lian Valley, and upon seeing "Hu Xin," she complained, "I'm going to be scolded to death by Master Xiao!"

"Thank you for waiting, Miss Xiaoyun!" Hu Xin also had sharp eyes, and with one hand raised, he shoved a piece of xuan crystal over.

Xiaoyun pursed her lips, took the xuan crystal: "Have you brought the calming incense?"

"I've got it, I've got it." He Lingchuan, disguised as Hu Xin, followed Xiaoyun as they walked toward the valley.

This time, he passed through the two guards very smoothly and walked into the lakeside depths.

The buildings here are all very spacious, with simple exteriors and smooth lines, like tiles lying flat on the ground, their structure completely different from ordinary houses, and some even have doors but no windows.

After passing several rows of such buildings, there are ordinary courtyards shaded by green trees and red flowers, with pavilions, terraces, towers, halls, hot springs, and streams all present. The deep pool they just passed still has koi swimming.

The climate here is also neither cold nor hot, suitable for human activity, and even the mist often found at the valley bottom has disappeared, because the moss on the ground stones is sparse, indicating that there is also a dehumidifying formation here.

Living here is more comfortable than living in many big cities.

People come and go here every few days; their cultivation levels are not necessarily high, nor are they upper-level figures of Lingyun Palace, but Xiaoyun sees them and always greets them warmly, and Hu Xin also returns a smiling face.

These are the demon puppet masters of Lingyun Palace, wholeheartedly devoted to their craft, deaf to outside affairs, but the treatment given to them by Lingyun Palace is very high.

Mingke Xianren wondered: "Isn't this the experimental ground of the demon puppet masters? How come it instead resembles a tranquil retreat for cultivating the mind and nurturing nature?"

The environment is comfortable and feels good, everywhere is peaceful and quiet, like a holy land for vacation.

Dong Rui laughed: "Did you think that as soon as you walked in, everywhere would be the howls of demon puppets? Everywhere would be strange, odd-shaped things running all over the ground?"

Mingke Xianren touched his nose; he really had imagined it that way.

"What kind of poor management would that be? Demon puppet masters are also people, and they don't like their work environment to be dirty and messy." Dong Rui, now leading a team in Cangyan, has the right to speak, "The experimental grounds here are also all placed underground, each building has a barrier set up, so even if inside there is a earth-shaking noise like slaughtering pigs, outside one cannot hear a single sound."

Going further in, people become even fewer.

After crossing a small bridge, someone came from behind the woods; Xiaoyun saw them and immediately knelt in salute:

"Master Xiao!"

The comer was a woman, looking about twenty or so in age, with fair skin and single eyelids, her nasal bridge and cheekbones very high, giving her a gaze that was bright and sharp.

She had some beauty, but not much.

He Lingchuan looked at her and knew she was a woman with high aspirations.
