Chapter 92

Li Bai wandered around with his half-human, half-sword body. After trying every method and still being unable to restore his physical body completely, he began to panic.

Shi Xiaoxiao looked at the strange Li Bai before her, her face full of confusion. This Li family's unique skill was too powerful, wasn't it? Fusing the sword with the body, fusing the body with the sword. Was this the legendary Human-Sword Unity? Was Human-Sword Unity like this?

Li Bai struggled for half an hour and finally gave up. A faint divine sense emanated from Li Bai: "I admit defeat. I will be your bodyguard for a year. Please, sir, help me undo this strange supernatural ability."

Meng Su, who was standing on the side and just as puzzled as Shi Xiaoxiao, caught Li Bai's divine sense and laughed: "Brother Li is truly a dragon among men, knowing how to choose a tree to roost in. And you keep your word; you are indeed a heaven-gifted talent of the Demon Realm."

Li Bai hesitated slightly: "With my current combat power, I can barely handle a demon cultivator at the early stage of the Demon Saint realm. For those at the mid-stage of the Demon Saint realm, I can only ensure I don't die. I will not make a move against demon cultivators at the late stage of the Demon Saint realm; I haven't lived enough yet, and there is still a lot of fine wine I haven't tasted."

Meng Su: "Don't worry, our opponents do not exceed the mid-stage of the Demon Saint realm. As for those at the early stage of the Demon Saint realm, you can kill them as easily as chopping vegetables; they are very easy to kill."

Li Bai: "That's good. Then please, sir, help me undo the supernatural ability."

Meng Su once again forcefully operated the Reverse Demon Scripture, wanting to completely turn Li Bai back into a physical body. Who knew that after struggling for a long time, it was of no use at all. Meng Su began to break out in a cold sweat.

Shi Xiaoxiao saw the clues and quietly transmitted her voice: "Brother, what is wrong with you? Don't tell me you don't know how to undo it."

Meng Su: "I don't know a thing. I was just messing around blindly just now."

Shi Xiaoxiao: "......"

Another half hour passed, and Li Bai could no longer hold back: "Brother, is it very difficult? Is my condition very serious?"

Seeing Li Bai begin to worry about himself for no reason, Meng Su felt even more anxious. Devouring, shifting, thought power—almost everything Meng Su knew, he tried once. These methods and demon power were like stones sinking into the sea.

Just when Meng Su was at a loss, he remembered that he originally had a Thought Gang in his dantian Qi Sea. That thing was neither virtual nor real. If one were to explain it using the principles of Meng Su's original world, he didn't know what substance it was.

That Thought Gang could fuse into his own Qi Sea; could Li Bai's half-demon body do the same?

Meng Su's Thought Gang was there because he had practiced the Sunflower Manual, and the reason he could practice the Sunflower Manual was because he had been castrated. Why not try it on Li Bai? If he cut off that thing of Li Bai's, perhaps that neither-real-nor-virtual sword body could fuse into Li Bai's Qi Sea, and Li Bai could recover his physical body.

No sooner said than done, Meng Su drew Li Bai's sword and turned to Shi Xiaoxiao: "Little sister, you should stand further away. It would be best to go back to the inn first. I am going to help Brother Li be castrated."

"Ah?"

"What did you say?"

"I don't want to; I haven't married yet."

"Must it be like this? Why don't you think about it again and find another way?"

As soon as Meng Su said it, he was met with a series of questions.

Meng Su had a massive headache. He didn't know whether to continue or find another way.

Seeing that Meng Su was so unreliable, Shi Xiaoxiao hid in the hotel room.

Meng Su held the long sword and was just about to take off Li Bai's pants. Suddenly, he thought of that vanished Thought Gang; he hadn't been able to communicate with that Thought Gang for a long time.

Meng Su didn't know if this castration would fuse Li Bai's sword body into his Qi Sea. Self-castration was feasible for himself, but if it didn't work for Li Bai, then forget about a bodyguard; they would become enemies. Meng Su's intention was to tie the Li family to his own ship; he didn't want to end up losing the bait while failing to catch the chicken.

Meng Su sat cross-legged and began to look inward, communicating with the Thought Gang. Meng Su operated all his demon power and thought power for several cycles, but still did not discover the vanished Thought Gang.

Helpless, Meng Su cast his divine sense onto the black and white demon infants. He saw the two demon infants sitting back-to-back in his Qi Sea, the black one icy cold and the white one scorching hot.

"That's not right. I practice the Sunflower Manual, which turns Yang into Yin, causing my temperament to be cold and clear. How was that scorching demon infant formed?"

Meng Su transferred his divine sense to the two demon infants. As a result, he discovered his Thought Gang inside the hearts of the two demon infants.

At this moment, the Thought Gang was divided into two pieces. One was circular and pitch-black like ink, like a black sun, yet it emitted an opposite aura. The sun should belong to Yang, but this Thought Gang belonged to Yin. The other was a white crescent moon, bright and clean, emitting powerful heat. The moon belongs to Yin, yet it had the opposite attribute.

"Why?"

Meng Su thought for a long time and finally understood a principle. This principle was: "Creation."

Two attributes of Yin and Yang, yet emitting opposite auras—that was imbalance. Since it was unbalanced, it needed to achieve balance. How could one achieve balance? Creation.

Therefore, the sun created extreme Yin power to compensate for the lack of coldness in the moon; conversely, the moon created extreme Yang power to supplement the extreme Yang power of the sun, finally achieving balance.

What phenomenon would occur after achieving balance? Meng Su did not know, but what Meng Su did know was that this must be an extraordinary supernatural ability.

His own Shifting Demon Body, that half-pitch-black and half-pure-white body, including the shifting power, were all caused by this Thought Gang. And the devouring power caused his Devouring Demon Body.

Thinking of this, Meng Su entered the Shifting Demon Body. He pressed his palms together, and the Yin and Yang forces collided in Meng Su's hands. Bursts of Chaos Qi appeared in Meng Su's hands. That Chaos Qi began to surge, and when it surged to a limit, thunder and lightning flashed between his hands.

Meng Su struck the substance in his hands into Li Bai's body. Li Bai's body began to grow.

This was not life force; this was creation.

If Meng Su struck life force into Li Bai's body, Li Bai's physical body and demon body would grow at the same time. Meng Su had tried it; it was useless.

Soon, Li Bai's body was replenished, and Li Bai's physical body appeared completely. With a physical body, there were five senses, and Li Bai saw Meng Su.

At this moment, Meng Su was covered in surging Chaos Qi, his figure flickering in and out, as if he were not in this realm.

After Li Bai's physical body was complete, he began to look inward. At this moment, the demon infant in Li Bai's Qi Sea was gone, replaced by a long sword—Yuan Infant Transforming into Sword.

The aura on Li Bai's body began to climb, and a piercing sword intent enveloped Li Bai's entire body. Bursts of sword beams were stirred up on Li Bai's body.

The sword intent on Li Bai's body surged, causing the long sword on his shoulder to resonate. At this moment, Li Bai pointed toward the void, and the sword infant in his Qi Sea shook. A powerful sword force was added to Li Bai's long sword. Li Bai's long sword began to divide; one sword became two, and two swords became four. Soon, the entire sky was filled with stars, all of which were sword shadows. This was the early stage of Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin.

Driven by Li Bai's sword intent, that long sword finally could not bear it. This was merely a sword made of materials slightly better than an ordinary long sword; it was not Immortal Gold.

In the Li family, Li Bai was only a slightly better collateral branch. This "slightly better" was because his cousin was an emperor in the secular world. Although this emperor was of no use to demon cultivators, he could control the secular world, and the secular world was the foundation for the birth of demon cultivators. No matter which family it was, they would value it.

At this moment, the long sword emitted bursts of cracks, and then the cracks extended, finally splitting and turning into powder.

Then, the endless sword intent lost its carrier and finally condensed into a sword pill, hiding into Li Bai's brow.

Li Bai broke through the limitations of the Demon God and advanced to the Demon Saint realm.
