Chapter 138: The Miserable Life of Wanliu Zhenren, a Disciple of the Yanmo Sect

"Eat it."

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui had no intention of viewing this Inheritance Jade Slip and directly let the Book Gu eat it.

After all, for the Book Gu to eat it was equivalent to him eating it himself.

However, just as the Book Gu took a bite of the Inheritance Jade Slip, a shrill, miserable scream immediately erupted from within.

"Ah!"

"You dog, what exactly did you let destroy the supreme inheritance of my great Yanmo Sect?!"

A voice full of exasperation and fury came from the Inheritance Jade Slip, sounding extremely angry and outraged.

It had never imagined that someone would want to destroy this Inheritance Jade Slip without even wanting to look at it.

It was truly inconceivable.

What kind of twisted logic did this bastard have?

Normally, shouldn't one use the power of their Spiritual Sense to perceive the information inside the Inheritance Jade Slip?!

To think there would be someone who would actually move to destroy such a precious Inheritance Jade Slip; they were simply insane.

Of course, what shocked it even more was that this Inheritance Jade Slip should have been difficult to destroy.

Even if a Golden Core Cultivator took action, it would be impossible to destroy this Inheritance Jade Slip.

But now, this strange bug was actually able to eat it with ease.

No, it shouldn't be as simple as eating; more accurately, it should be assimilation.

It was as if this Inheritance Jade Slip was instantly assimilated by this bizarre bug.

If it continued to let the other party go on like this, then it would certainly be instantly assimilated as well, and thus perish.

After sensing a fatal crisis, it could no longer care about exposing its identity and immediately roared out loud.

"Holy crap, there was actually a wisp of a remnant soul hiding inside the Inheritance Jade Slip?!"

Zhou Sui's hair stood on end as he sensed a fatal crisis.

He never would have guessed in a million years that the Inheritance Jade Slip, which looked like an inanimate object, was actually so dangerous, with a wisp of a remnant soul hiding inside; if the Book Gu hadn't taken action, he wouldn't have even discovered it.

Clearly, if he had rashly used his Spiritual Sense to explore the information inside, he might have been harmed by this wisp of a remnant soul, or even had his body taken over.

He had heard that in the world of cultivation, there existed certain Soul Possession Secret Techniques.

When some old monsters were nearing the end of their Longevity, they would use secret techniques to perform soul possession and live another life.

Although the success rate of soul possession was very low, since they were about to die anyway, it was worth a gamble for those old monsters.

If they failed, it didn't matter; they were going to die regardless.

If they succeeded, they could live another life; no matter how you looked at it, it was a huge profit.

But for those being possessed, regardless of whether the other party succeeded or failed, they were certain to die.

"Eat it."

Zhou Sui didn't care at all what the background of this remnant soul was or what its purpose was; for him, safety was the most important thing, and everything else was of no consequence.

"Stop, stop immediately."

"I am Wanliu Zhenren, a True Disciple of the Yanmo Sect."

"I possess supreme cultivation arts that point directly to the Spirit Severing realm, and I know of many Cave Abodes with hidden Treasures."

"As long as you spare my life, I can give it all to you."

This wisp of a remnant soul screamed in terror.

But the Book Gu ignored the other party entirely, eating the Inheritance Jade Slip in one bite and swallowing it into its belly.

"You bastard, I, a dignified True Disciple of the Yanmo Sect, Wanliu Zhenren, who dominated for hundreds of years."

"To think I would die at the hands of a nameless junior like you."

"I am not reconciled, I am not reconciled!"

This wisp of a remnant soul was incomparably desperate, howling as it tried to break out.

Unfortunately, facing the infinite data space inside the Book Gu, its meager counterattack was of no use at all.

It couldn't even make the Book Gu tremble in the slightest.

In just a split second, along with the Inheritance Jade Slip, this wisp of a remnant soul was also swallowed by the Book Gu and thoroughly assimilated.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~

A massive amount of information instantly flooded into the depths of Zhou Sui's sea of consciousness.

"No way, this guy was actually really Wanliu Zhenren, and he wasn't dead yet?"

"He even turned into a wisp of a remnant soul and survived for hundreds of years."

Zhou Sui widened his eyes, feeling very shocked.

This time, after the Book Gu devoured the Inheritance Jade Slip, it also digested the soul of Wanliu Zhenren, obtaining the inheritance memories of Wanliu Zhenren and gaining countless pieces of information.

He also instantly understood the ins and outs of this matter.

This Wanliu Zhenren was not a local Cultivator, but came from an overseas Spirit Severing sect, the Yanmo Sect, and was even a True Disciple of this sect, as well as a member of its final generation.

The Yanmo Sect was a Spirit Severing sect, with a Spirit Severing Ancestor backing it from within.

But who could have imagined that this Yanmo Sect Spirit Severing Ancestor would suddenly fall, causing their strength to drop significantly.

Because the Yanmo Sect acted tyrannically and killed without blinking on a daily basis, they had long since provoked public anger.

If the Spirit Severing Ancestor hadn't fallen, other sects wouldn't have dared to retaliate and could only swallow their anger.

But now, after the Spirit Severing Ancestor fell, the Yanmo Sect no longer had its former prestige.

Consequently, the entire sect was besieged by numerous factions.

A large number of Disciples fell.

Elders were killed.

As a True Disciple of the Yanmo Sect and its final successor, Wanliu Zhenren quickly fled with the Yanmo Sect's most important inheritance technique.

Yet even so, he was constantly hunted by enemies and suffered severe injuries.

Fortunately, he had Mastery of many Demon Gate Secret Techniques, and by using a Blood Escape Technique that consumed his Longevity, he finally managed to escape with his life.

In the end, Wanliu Zhenren went out to sea, traveled to many places, and arrived in this region of the Xianxia Sect.

Merely by testing his skills, he established a formidable reputation.

At the time, he also wanted to re-establish the Yanmo Sect in this place.

But at this moment, his old injuries recurred, and to avoid being seen through by other Golden Core Cultivators, he had to hurriedly break into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range and build a temporary Cave Abode here.

However, his injuries were too severe and deep-seated; he was essentially beyond saving.

To extend his own life, Wanliu Zhenren decided to take a risk and cast a Yanmo Sect Secret Technique, allowing his Soul to merge into the Inheritance Jade Slip of the Yanmo Sect.

In this way, his Soul could persist for hundreds of years.

If someone were to break into his Golden Core Cave Abode and obtain this Inheritance Jade Slip, he could take advantage of the moment they were reading the Yanmo Sect inheritance to cast the Soul Seizing Technique, seize the other person's body, and live another life.

But man proposes, God disposes.

Back then, for the sake of his own safety, he not only chose the desolate Cloud Mist Mountain Range but also built three layers of Forbidden Array within the Cave Abode.

This meant that for five hundred years, not only could no one discover his Cave Abode, but even if they did, they could not break it.

What made him want to vomit blood even more was that a Spirit Beast he had unintentionally contracted when he arrived in this region, the King Kong Ape King, had been loyally guarding his Cave Abode ever since he died.

It seemed as if it had no intention of leaving until it died of old age.

This resulted in no one being able to approach his Cave Abode for five hundred years, making it impossible to find anyone to possess.

Even if a Cultivator did approach, they were scared away by the King Kong Ape King.

Just when Wanliu Zhenren was about to despair, Cultivators from the Shen Family and others finally broke in and cracked his Array.

At that moment, he was simply moved to tears, even weeping bitterly, feeling that his luck had finally turned.

It was truly as if Heaven would not let him perish.

In a moment, he, Wanliu Zhenren, would be able to possess one of them and live another life.

Then he would kill that stupid King Kong Ape King.

If not for this stupid beast's blind loyalty, he would not have ended up in such a state.
