Chapter 2675

He Lingchuan looked him up and down: "Your life is still bound to It? Wow, you've got a tough life."

There is a special bond between the Jin Du Mother and the ghost spawn, in short, sharing life and death. If it dies, the ghost spawn will also perish.

Three heavenly gods teamed up to ambush the Jin Du Mother, yet it did not die, so He Lingchuan said Frost Leaf had a tough life.

Frost Leaf's state preceptor curled the corner of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes: "The Jin Du Mother not only did not die, but also severely wounded the enemy, resulting in one death and two injuries."

This answer was unexpected to He Lingchuan:

"This is... oh, It not only had Its title promoted, but also greatly increased in strength?"

It sounded reversed; it should be that strength increased first, then the title was promoted.

"Not bad. Since It has value, It obtained many resources from the Ling Xu crowd, strength rose quickly, and is no longer the minor lower god It once was."

He Lingchuan nodded. This made sense; he too had fallen prey to preconception, initially hearing in the Pan Long world that the Jin Du Mother was a lower god, over a hundred years had passed, and he had not torn that impression label from It.

Naraka Heaven was once also an obscure wild god, a minor god, but after properly utilizing the Punishing Dragon Pillar, did it not also quickly become a proper god?

"But this way, my original plan is no longer applicable."

He Lingchuan did not know what scheme he had originally designed, but seeing Frost Leaf's unhappy face, he knew this matter dealt him a heavy blow.

In fact, Frost Leaf had also conducted many experiments; theoretically, if the ghost spawn's strength greatly exceeded that of the Jin Du Mother, it could sever the natural contract of shared life and death between them.

For the weak to control the strong's life and death is inherently unreasonable.

Now the Jin Du Mother has already entered the "Saint" realm, strength greatly increased, Frost Leaf's path is not easy to traverse.

"You should still have a backup plan?" People like He Lingchuan and Frost Leaf, how could they possibly have only one plan?

"Yes. The brain core." Before Frost Leaf, there had once appeared a necrophage in this world, and its brain core is now in Frost Leaf's hands, "You have always been clear about what I intend to use it for, right?"

The last time he traded with He Lingchuan, he only said he wanted to take the brain core back for research.

But both knew that was merely a pretext.

He Lingchuan only said two words:

"Freedom."

What Frost Leaf wants is freedom, life no longer bound by human hands.

"You have already obtained the brain core, do you still need my help?"

"Yes." Frost Leaf drew a light breath, spoke solemnly: "These three years, I have been trying to transfer my original consciousness and power into the new brain core, but have continually failed, because I sensed danger in the dark; once truly done, my self might be lost, never to awaken again."

Without self-consciousness, how is it different from death?

"Why?" The necrophage is a special species, with too few examples, He Lingchuan truly does not understand.

Frost Leaf sighed: "This is akin to possession among one's kind. Even if that brain core has lost its self-awareness, but vitality remains, similar to a human fetus. I want to take it as my own, yet there remains a heavenly chasm to cross."

"Possession?" He Lingchuan rolled these two words over and over, suddenly enlightened: "I understand. Ordinary ghosts possess external human bodies, while you wish to possess the inner heart core, exactly opposite to ordinary people. But no matter what, the process of possession is still ongoing, you remain subject to the constraints of heavenly and earthly laws."

How were those four words said again?

"The mystery of the womb!" He looked at Frost Leaf: "You must solve the mystery of the womb to successfully possess that brain core! After all, necrophages are also half human, many human laws also apply to them."

That is one of the heavenly and earthly laws even the Black Dragon God Sovereign must obey.

"Conversing with the Nine Deep is just saving effort." Frost Leaf's state preceptor did not forget to flatter him: "You understand the mystery of the womb so well, is it not also exactly knowing how to solve it?"

"Well——" He Lingchuan took a sip of wine, "Congratulations, you asked the right person. But how do you know to come to me?"

Upon this admission, Frost Leaf's state preceptor secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Nine Deep indeed knew! Not in vain did he travel a thousand miles. The advent of the Hundred Gods is imminent, he has no time left for trial and error.

"Your landing on the Flash Gold Plain's first stop seemed related to the Bright Lamp Bowl. What was that country called again?"

"Shui State." It is a small state long swept into history.

"Yes, the ruler of Shui State was overthrown by a subordinate uprising; at that time, the mastermind behind this was not you, but Mou State. The root cause of this was also nothing else, but the Bright Lamp Bowl!"

He Lingchuan laughed: "No wonder Frost Leaf's state preceptor, meticulous as ever."

Over a decade old matter, Frost Leaf's state preceptor can still investigate to the root, still peel silk to extract the truth, this kind of gathering and analyzing ability, tsk tsk, no wonder He Lingchuan, when he was island lord of the Yang Shan Archipelago, most worried about this opponent.

Frost Leaf's state preceptor bluntly: "You have the Bright Lamp Bowl in hand, right?"

He Lingchuan nodded.

He has two bowls, both given by Mou Emperor Xin Wuhuan.

These are fine things; over the past many years, the Bright Lamp Bowls produced by the Xiao Yao Sect were all sent to Mou Emperor's hands.

Frost Leaf lightly exhaled: "I know, there is still another person who has one."

"But you cannot find Wuhuan the Great Emperor." He Lingchuan spoke concisely: "You are not acquainted with him, and he is also very willing to cause trouble for the state preceptor of Bei Jia."

But He Lingchuan and Frost Leaf have had several shady dealings, familiarity after the first time.

"Alright, back to the matter." He Lingchuan reheated a pot of wine: "As long as your information is valuable, I will offer the Bright Lamp Bowl with both hands!"

Frost Leaf also did not beat around the bush:

"You and I both know, the best way for the Ling Xu Holy Sovereign to descend to the human realm is the Great Square Bowl."

"The Great Square Bowl is made from fragments of the Tian Luo Xing." He Lingchuan pointed to the sky: "The Tian Luo Xing is exactly the barrier between the two worlds. Lady Lady Lady Mitian said only the Great Square Bowl can pass through this wall unharmed, letting Him bring down His divine power intact."

Lady Lady Lady Mitian, through years of practice, proved the feasibility of this theory.

"Then how did Lady Lady Lady Mitian know this?" Frost Leaf asked: "Clearly the Great Square Bowl has always been in the human realm, Lady Lady Lady Mitian never personally controlled it."

This is interesting, He Lingchuan became interested: "Please, Frost Leaf's state preceptor, enlighten me."

From this angle, he had never considered it.

"Lady Lady Lady Mitian likely also obtained this information from someone else." Frost Leaf said word by word: "This 'someone' is the Ling Xu Holy Sovereign."

"You mean, the Ling Xu Holy Sovereign was the first to discover this?"

"The precursor of the Tian Luo Xing was a new world's heart core captured by the Three Holy Gods of the Heavenly Realm, but not successfully refined; in the later stage of the Immortal-Demon War, the Ling Xu Holy Sovereign joined with several great heavenly gods, remade it into the 'Ten Directions Tian Luo', formally becoming the barrier between the two worlds."
