Chapter 642

In fact, it was very clear that unless it was broken by force, only the person designated by the Wood Spirit Venerable could enter this cave dwelling. Just this point alone was actually worth its attention.

That old guy Wood Spirit still had some tricks up his sleeve. The person he favored might be worth looking forward to? He Lingchuan then asked it: "If I can break the array eye, I will need you to attack the Star-Plucking Tower to help me snatch the treasure. How about that?"

The anger of the Heavenly God is no small matter; was Zuju willing to bear it? Sure enough, this magma fire monster fell into deep thought.

It was different from He Lingchuan. The latter would pat his butt and leave after causing destruction, but Zuju could not leave Xushan; it still had to live with Lingxu City for a long time.

Once the Spirit Gathering Array was broken, its relationship with Lingxu City would drop to freezing point.

He Lingchuan seemed to hear its inner voice: "Breaking this array is like returning to more than ten years ago. At that time, there was no array binding you; weren't your days pleasant? You were still the incomparably powerful Zuju; what could Lingxu City dare to do to you? Instead, it's like this now: Lingxu City uses the Spirit Gathering Array to tie your hands and feet, starving you one meal and feeding you the next, and your power is gradually weakening. After a few years, even without the array suppressing you, you would only have a small flame left."

To put it plainly, the relationship between Zuju and Lingxu City depended on its strength.

The more powerful it was, the friendlier Lingxu City would treat it.

"Moreover, didn't Lingxu City deceive you first?" He Lingchuan's words were the whispers of a devil, "Don't you want revenge?"

The giant bear formed of magma fire smacked its lips: "Fine, if you can destroy the array eye, I will help you snatch the divine object from the Star-Plucking Tower. We will have mutual benefit."

It was sneering in its heart, however; if it could really break free, it could do whatever it wanted later, kick this little thing away first, and then settle the score with the Tiangong! As long as it got rid of the suppression of the Spirit Gathering Array, how could it be so easy for Lingxu City to deal with it? "I need information." He Lingchuan thought for a moment, "You should know the construction of the Spirit Gathering Array best. Please tell me everything you know about the Star-Plucking Tower and the defensive works and arrays of the array eye."

"You don't know?" So he came here to get something for nothing? "You don't even know the details, yet you want to break the array eye?!"

He Lingchuan said indifferently: "The construction of the Spirit Gathering Array has been a top secret until now. I have asked participants and insiders, but I can only piece together a rough idea. For such a major action, shouldn't I verify it repeatedly with you?"

Hmm, that makes sense. Zuju also stopped making a sound.

Next, He Lingchuan asked questions, and it supplemented them.

This basically corresponded to the information extracted from Zaifu Kua, and added quite a few details.

Everyone knows that the devil is in the details.

For He Lingchuan, the more detailed he understood, the better.

He also asked Zuju: "If you smash the Star-Plucking Tower, will the Heavenly God come down personally to deal with you?"

"Come down?" Zuju sneered, "The barriers between the two realms are strict; how could the true body of the Heavenly God come down? At most, it would be a divine descent!"

"When the array eye was installed for the Spirit Gathering Array, it is said that the Heavenly God personally took action to deal with you?"

"That was a divine descent!" Zuju said loudly, "The main god Lingxu descended directly into a pre-prepared skin bag and could use part of the true body's power. But this process has huge losses; if it used ten parts of power, then nine parts were lost in the projection process, and the power actually put into the battle was not even one part!"

He Lingchuan was moved: "Such a huge waste?"

"Do you think the laws are a joke?" Zuju immediately became suspicious, "Hmm? You still want to destroy the array eye, yet you don't even know this bit of common sense?"

"I don't know much about the Heavenly God." He Lingchuan quickly changed the subject, "Even if I can let you out, what if you are suppressed by the Heavenly God in the blink of an eye? Wouldn't I have wasted my effort?"

Zuju was dismissive: "Dream on! The Tiangong has been peaceful for too long; how could it be my opponent in a rush? Besides, even if it has an endless supply of reinforcements later, as long as I hide underground, what can they do to me!"

Once the Spirit Gathering Array is broken, as long as it shrinks back underground, what Tiangong or Heavenly God could attack it? He Lingchuan couldn't help but laugh. Compared to Zuju's power, the Heavenly God should be more worried about this point, right?

He asked again: "I heard that the skin bag for a divine descent is also not easy to choose."

"Of course. It must be someone with outstanding talent, whose physique or cultivation far exceeds ordinary people, to barely be able to bear the descent of a Heavenly God; otherwise, the moment of divine descent, the body would collapse directly." Zuju said, "And different Heavenly Gods have different requirements for the body. If they are strong in the human world, they will intentionally cultivate and reserve their own skin bags for future use."

"These so-called skin bags are all living people."

"Nonsense!" Zuju widened its bear eyes, "How can you use the skin bag of a dead person?"

"Even if the skin bag is prepared, the Heavenly God will not descend unless it is a last resort. People today have weak bodies, and the Heavenly God borrowing a human body to fight is like holding porcelain in both hands to fight an opponent; bumps are inevitable, and it shatters with a little force!" Zuju answered in great detail this time, "Cultivating a skin bag is not that easy. I heard that after Lingxu's skin bag was broken last time, there has been no new one available until now. Plus, divine descent consumes too much energy, and the Heavenly God is not happy to do it."

Lingxu Saint Venerable descended last time to fight this thing. Zuju's power could not even be suppressed by the great demons of Lingxu City, so it was not so easy for the Heavenly God to suppress it in the human world.

Ten years, and with Beijia's ability, they actually couldn't find the next suitable skin bag for Lingxu Saint Venerable.

It shows how difficult it is to choose a body for divine descent.

Of course, at this moment, He Lingchuan thought of Panlong City and Zhong Shengquan's daughter who was sacrificed.

If it is so difficult for gods to choose a human body, then how could Zhong Shengquan's beloved daughter, Zhong Wuhan, bear Lady Mitian's descent again and again? Could it be because Lady Mitian's power is far inferior to Lingxu Saint Venerable's, and the destructiveness to the skin bag is not so great? Or...

Does it have to do with the Great Fang Hu?

"The bearing capacity of the skin bag also has to do with the power of the Heavenly God, right?"

"Otherwise?" Zuju sat back, sitting on the surface of the magma, and didn't sink, but the entire magma pool splashed, "Those lower-ranking gods have weaker power, so it's easier to find a suitable skin bag. In the medieval period, I also heard that Heavenly Gods have a method of semi-descent."

"Semi-descent?"

"Hmm, if there is really no suitable skin bag, they can also split off smaller power and temporarily descend into a random body. However, such performance will be greatly limited, and it also requires a prior agreement with the other party."

"Prior agreement?" He Lingchuan immediately thought of Nian Songyu. Was the god behind Sun Fuping saying that Nian Zanli accepted a semi-descent? "Then can the person who was descended upon still live afterward?"

"Perhaps, I don't know about that." Zuju spread its two claws; does it look like it cares about human life?

Hearing this, He Lingchuan's heart stirred: "What if there is no agreement and they forcibly invade the human sea of consciousness?"

"No agreement?" Zuju denied it in one breath, "Impossible! No matter what kind of divine descent, it must be permitted; gods cannot violate the laws!"

"How is it impossible?" He Lingchuan retorted, "I know that Miaozhantian has done this several times, forcibly breaking into other people's brains without their consent."

"Miaozhantian?" Zuju also knew this Heavenly God, "The invasion you are talking about, do you mean it used the Scales?"

"Exactly. And it's not just it; there are countless gods following."

"Miaozhantian's divine artifact, the Scales, is famous! Strictly speaking, that's not called an invasion, but borrowing the power of the Scales to judge the human soul! But no matter whether the final verdict is right or wrong, it cannot directly kill the human soul. After the judgment is completed, it must leave." Zuju said, "The boundary of the law is not a line, but a broad gray area. This trick of Miaozhantian is walking on the edge of the law. But for it to perform it in the human world, the cost is also very high."

"If during the judgment process, other gods watching suddenly want to occupy the human body?"

"Then they must also obtain the consent of the skin bag! And this behavior also causes damage to Miaozhantian, who is performing the technique. Although it is a righteous god with boundless magic power, it certainly doesn't like this kind of side issue!"

He Lingchuan recalled the process of his own judgment; in the end, that unknown Heavenly God wanted to take action but was severely reprimanded by Miaozhantian.

"By the way, who is Naluotian?"

"Never heard of it!" Zuju was impatient, "For the sake of Wood Spirit, I have answered so many questions; it's your turn to show sincerity!"

It had been patient enough to say so much, all "high-end topics" that ordinary practitioners couldn't even touch, which could be said to be full of sincerity.

If he wanted to cooperate with it, He Lingchuan should show something.

The puppet raised his hand and threw the sack into the magma pool. With a 'hiss', a puff of black smoke rose from the pool.

"Just this little bit?" The bag, of course, melted immediately, but Zuju only ate a few pieces of Shaoling ore, not even enough to fill the gaps between its teeth, "Who are you trying to fool!"

"What's the rush? After meeting with you, I have to go back and plan in detail." He Lingchuan said calmly, "We will keep in touch."

"You want to leave just like that?" The magma fire monster hit the ground with a fist, and the entire cave shook, "What about my offerings?"

This guy wanted to cooperate with it, yet only brought a few dozen jin of ore to find it? Angry magma overflowed the ground and moved toward the puppet.

"It doesn't matter, this is just a puppet." He Lingchuan said indifferently, "Burn it or eat it as you please, but I won't come again next time. You can just be a good watchdog for the Heavenly God here, waiting for the dog food in your own bowl to get less and less."

The red-hot magma was about to rush to his feet, but the puppet stood still, expressionless.

This kind of mortal, as soon as he is scalded, he melts.

He Lingchuan was calm and composed.

When the magma was two feet away from the living person, it stopped.

Its surface kept trembling, but it could not advance even an inch.

It seems that Dean Xu Shichu of the Shumin Academy was right; dealing with intelligent creatures is just less effort.

It can calculate the pros and cons and control its own emotions.

The puppet under He Lingchuan's control immediately said: "You can create clones, right? Give me one, and we will keep in touch."

Ah, it seems the double monthly ticket event has started, hehehe.
