Chapter 127: The Three Bodies of the Divine

~12 min read 2,240 words

"In the current situation, do you think you have the luxury of being unrealistic?"

A single rhetorical question left Wang Xuanji, who had intended to resist to the end, speechless; the current situation truly did not allow him any choice.

"But aren't you afraid that I will fight you to the death? Even if this Dharma Body of mine is destroyed, and my true self suffers a great backlash, I still have the chance to make a comeback."

"Are you sure you want to forge such a life-and-death feud with me?"

Wang Xuanji said gloomily.

He had wanted to use the Wang Family to pressure this mysterious person, but after thinking it over carefully, doing so would only make him appear fierce of face but faint of heart, exposing his true state, which was not a wise move.

Li Heng raised his eyebrows and nodded.

"What you say is naturally correct; to forge a feud with an Innate expert for such a trivial matter, and a noble family Innate at that, is indeed unwise. But... money cannot buy my willingness."

He said softly, his words suffused with wisps of killing intent. Ma Suxuan, standing nearby, felt Li Heng's killing intent and felt a jolt of fear, secretly shocked in her heart at such immense murderousness.

But what exactly was the origin of this mysterious person?

Could he really dare to forge a feud with a noble family? This was the Wang Family, which could be traced back to before the Great Li; they were a clan of a thousand years!

Wang Xuanji sneered in response; who was he trying to fool?

"Good, tough-minded; I admire such toughness!" Li Heng laughed. As he clenched one hand, a flash of light appeared, and the cage trapping Wang Xuanji slowly tightened, squeezing toward him.

Wang Xuanji's heart sank; he still wanted to put up a desperate struggle.

He erupted with all the power his Dharma Body possessed, unleashing the Golden Light Incantation, trying to stop the cage from closing.

Unfortunately, his Golden Light Incantation was like an eggshell; under a light squeeze, the Golden Light Incantation developed cracks, and finally shattered directly into fragments of various sizes, dancing in the air and gradually dissipating into nothingness.

Ma Suxuan was secretly shocked; did this mysterious person really dare to kill?

If it were her, and Wang Xuanji had fallen into her hands, given her own status in the Ma Family, she would have had to weigh the consequences.

"Wait! Wait!"

Finally, at the most critical moment.

Wang Xuanji was the first to be unable to hold on, and he hurriedly called for a stop. He was skilled in the art of exchanging benefits and mutual compromise, but he had not expected to run into such a hot-headed youth who, without discussing any other conditions, wanted to crush him to death immediately.

Li Heng smiled faintly, causing the cage's contraction to stop.

"Then do you agree?"

Wang Xuanji stiffened and spoke in a deep voice. "The Luck has already reached my true self; forcibly extracting it will only cause my true self to end up in the same plight as that unlucky brat from before."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Heng raised an eyebrow, intending to let the cage contract again; seeing Li Heng's movement, Wang Xuanji spoke hurriedly.

"Don't be in such a hurry!"

"Although Luck is extremely precious, I come from the Wang Family and can produce items of equal value to this bit of Luck; you may state your requirements, and I will satisfy them as much as possible."

He spoke in a rapid-fire manner, blurting these words out, fearing that if he were a second too slow, he would be crushed by the cage.

Li Heng frowned and pondered to himself.

Other conditions? I have one...

"I hear that your Wang Family's Divine Dao Dharma Body Method is extremely profound, so you shall hand over this Divine Dao Dharma Body Method. Oh, right, also hand over most of the Divine Power Origin of this Dharma Body of yours."

"Only then will I let you go back."

Hearing this, both Wang Xuanji and Ma Suxuan were dumbfounded. The Divine Dao Dharma Body Method was one thing, but to want the Divine Power Origin as well—what a huge appetite!

However, unexpectedly, Wang Xuanji agreed quite readily.

"Fine, I agree to all of this; you must keep your promise! If you take the items and do not let me go back, then don't blame me for reporting this matter to the Wang Family; you know the consequences!"

He said in a deep voice, warning Li Heng, while secretly laughing to himself. The Wang Family's Divine Dao Dharma Body Method required the Wang Family bloodline to unleash its true power; he was not afraid of it being known by others at all.

However, he would not say this out loud.

If he let this mysterious person know this, he would likely refuse. It was just that losing most of his Divine Power Origin really made his heart ache; he wondered why this mysterious person wanted the Divine Power Origin? Could it be that he practiced the Divine Dao? But he didn't look like it.

This couldn't help but remind him of the incident with the female demon back then.

That female demon had also taken a lot of his Divine Power Origin; he hadn't expected to be bled dry again now. He lamented in his heart, feeling that this place, Bei'an County, was truly cursed.

He must have been out of his mind to have chosen this place!

Li Heng remained calm, sneering in his heart.

Wang Xuanji agreed so readily, which meant that this Divine Dao Dharma Body Method must have limitations, such as requiring sufficient talent, bloodline, or cultivation realm.

But he possessed the Visualization Divine Ability and the Data Panel.

There were no limitations; he could enter the path directly and quickly!

This Divine Dao Dharma Body Method was indeed somewhat profound; when gathered, it was a god, and when dispersed, it was Qi. If it weren't for the excess residual Earth Dharma Aspect Power filling the surrounding Emptiness.

Otherwise, it really might have allowed this Wang Xuanji to escape.

Although he himself did not need the Divine Dao Dharma Body Method or the Divine Power Origin, his Divine Dao avatar did; strengthening the Divine Dao avatar was also beneficial for subsequent Visualization—it was all gain and no loss.

Ma Suxuan, standing nearby, frowned deeply.

She had been rebellious since childhood, had a very strained relationship with her family, and rarely associated with other noble families. But she had still heard of the great reputation of the Wang Family's Divine Dao Dharma Body.

Would Wang Xuanji, that old fox, hand it over so easily? She feared this mysterious person, who was suspected to be an old friend of Ling Yun, was being deceived.

Immediately, she sent a voice transmission to Li Heng, informing him of her suspicions.

Hearing Ma Suxuan's reminder, Li Heng was surprised by her kindness. Even when dealing with outsiders, she lacked the arrogance of a noble family; no wonder the old man could take a liking to Aunt Xuan.

He replied to Ma Suxuan via voice transmission, telling her not to worry, as he had long been prepared. Hearing this reply, Ma Suxuan was stunned, feeling somewhat puzzled; could one be prepared for such things?

Were the friends Ling Yun made all so supernatural?

With so many supernatural friends, and he hadn't even advanced to the Innate realm yet? As expected, Ling Yun was still too lazy; he would have to urge him when he returned. She couldn't help but hum in her heart, planning to be stricter!

"Fine, I agree to your terms."

Li Heng spoke indifferently. His prompt and straightforward agreement delighted Wang Xuanji, yet at the same time, he felt some doubts; there was a reason he had agreed so readily.

But why did this mysterious person agree so quickly as well?

Was he just too young and ignorant of the various details at the negotiating table, or was there a scheme behind it? He became vigilant in his heart, reinforcing his body with various protective measures to avoid being plotted against.

After finishing these, he condensed a large portion of his Divine Power Origin into a light orb, and simultaneously transformed his information regarding the Dharma Body Method into a Memory Light Cluster.

Li Heng took these two light orbs.

He immediately used Appraisal on them twice.

【Divine Power Origin Light Cluster: Contains a massive amount of Divine Power Origin, which can be absorbed by Incense Divine Spirits and Divine Dao practitioners to strengthen their power, consolidate their foundation, and can even be used to refine divinity.】

【Dharma Body Method: Humans have one body, while gods have three bodies, namely: Dharma Body, Reward Body, and Transformation Body. The Dharma Body is flawless and inactive, neither born nor destroyed, pure and at ease, forever at its peak. This method is the method for condensing the Dharma Body from the Wang Family, a family of the Divine Dao, possessing the characteristics of gathering and dispersing at will; when gathered, it becomes a god, and when dispersed, it becomes Qi, with myriad changes. Restriction: This method requires the Wang Family bloodline to practice.】

He nodded; there were no issues with these two items.

He had long anticipated the so-called bloodline restriction. It seemed that Wang Xuanji was also confident in this bloodline restriction, as he had not mixed any false information into the Dharma Body Method, nor had he harbored any intention of causing him to suffer a Qi deviation.

"Hehe, rest assured, I didn't mix anything into it."

Seeing Li Heng remain silent for a long time, Wang Xuanji sneered and said. Other forces had also eyed their Wang Family's Divine Dao Dharma Body Method, and it had leaked out a few times over the long passage of time.

But in the end, didn't no one manage to use it?

This mysterious person definitely did not come from any major power; otherwise, he should have known this common knowledge.

"You indeed didn't mix anything into it."

Li Heng nodded.

"Then I will keep my promise and let you go back."

With a wave of his large hand, the cage formed by the Earth Dharma Aspect Power instantly dissipated. Wang Xuanji's eyes lit up, and ignoring the weakness caused by the massive loss of Divine Power Origin, he directly let his body disperse, turning into the Qi of Heaven and Earth to flee into the distance, preventing Li Heng from changing his mind.

It was just that he did not notice at all.

When the cage shattered, a tiny wisp of Earth Dharma Aspect Power had already burrowed into his body and laid dormant. Even if he turned into the Qi of Heaven and Earth to flee now, he could not shake it off.

This was not because the characteristics of the Divine Dao Dharma Body were not strong, nor was it because he had not raised his guard, but simply because his origin was now severely lost and he was too weak. Li Heng had played a trick on him, and he simply could not detect it.

The gap in hard power could not be made up for.

Luck or Secret Technique?

Li Heng sneered in his heart; only children make choices.

Couldn't he have both?

Although he could not deal with Wang Xuanji's true self with his current strength, that was only his current strength; he still had many trump cards and means of increasing his strength that he hadn't used yet!

Ma Suxuan's heart sank slightly; was he really just letting Wang Xuanji leave? Was he sure he wouldn't drain him dry? She couldn't help but shake her head in her heart, feeling that this mysterious person still lacked consideration in his actions.

Although it was unwise to forge a feud of Life and Death.

But what should be drained dry should still be drained dry.

But the next moment, the words Li Heng spoke directly stunned her. "I have already placed a means within his body, which can be used to track him and find his true self. Are you interested?"

Ma Suxuan was silent at first, then her expression became strange and ashamed.

It seemed her previous thoughts had underestimated others a bit too much. This mysterious person's approach was more ruthless than she had imagined; taking advantage of Wang Xuanji's weakness to strike at the root and find his true self?

This was no longer a question of whether to drain him dry or not.

Extermination?

"Who exactly are you?"

After being silent for a while, she asked this question again.

Or rather, she wanted to confirm it a second time. Only then could she convince herself to agree with the words of this mysterious person, Li Heng, and let her follow him to go and trouble Wang Xuanji's true self.

"I already told you, I am an old friend of Meng Lingyun." Li Heng smiled slightly and tracked in the direction Wang Xuanji had fled.

Old friend? Ma Suxuan chewed on these three words repeatedly. She felt that after this matter, she needed to have a showdown with Meng Lingyun to see exactly how many things Meng Lingyun was hiding from her.

Immediately, she also chased after him.
