Chapter 243
"Big sister, what the hell is Kang Wuhen doing? After disappearing for a while, why did he suddenly seem like a different person? Not only did he trap us here, but he also dared to be so bold as to force us to dual cultivate with him." The red-armored woman asked her companion beside her, gnashing her teeth.
"Humph, it's questionable whether he is still Kang Wuhen. Didn't you see that he could even drive the demonic beasts here?" After the blue-armored woman snorted, she replied slowly.
"Does big sister mean that this guy was possessed by something?" Hearing this, the red-armored woman was startled, and a trace of panic appeared on her beautiful face.
"I don't know if it's possession, but at least he should have been controlled by something." The blue-armored woman replied calmly.
"Then what should we do? This guy said before he left that if we don't agree to dual cultivate with him, he will use us as medicine leads to refine pills?" The red-armored woman said impatiently.
"What else can we do? We can only hold on, hold on as long as we can, and see if there is any turning point later.
Don't forget, that chief true disciple of the Qianzhu Sect who is unparalleled in artifact control is also here. I don't believe he will fall easily." The blue-armored woman analyzed.
"That's true. Luo Shixiong's ability is indeed not small. Maybe he will find this side and save us." Hearing this, the red-armored woman's spirits lifted slightly, and there was a glimmer of hope in her heart again.
Kang Wuhen walked upward along a staircase, having changed into a purple robe, but his face was full of contemplation.
At the exit in front, there was a hall. An old monk with a kind face was waiting there. As soon as he saw Kang Wuhen walk out, he immediately greeted him and asked respectfully.
"Venerable, have those two female benefactors agreed?"
"No, these two girls don't know what's good for them. I'm going to grind their temper a bit more. Once they have exhausted those few second-rank talismans, I will naturally have a way to make them obey obediently." Kang Wuhen replied lightly, his expression naturally showing a look of looking down on everything between his eyebrows.
"It's all my fault for being useless. I never expected that the 'Vanshen' responsible for guarding the treasures would spontaneously give birth to consciousness and wouldn't recognize Venerable's reincarnation body, not letting us get close at all; otherwise, why would Venerable have to be so troublesome?" The old monk replied with a bitter smile.
"Hehe, the Vanshen was originally transformed from the remains of my previous life. The last order engraved on the flesh was to guard the highest floor of this tower. Even though it has now given birth to self-consciousness, it still cannot violate this order and leave the highest floor by even half a step.
And even though it is just a shell, it is also my Dharma body when I was in the Nascent Soul stage. So many years have passed, and because there is no secret method to nourish it, the body-refining realm has fallen, but it is still enough to fight a Golden Core." Kang Wuhen sat on a chair in the hall very naturally and said unhurriedly.
"That is of course. Venerable originally wanted me, this wisp of divided thought, to enter this Vanshen body, but was afraid that the divided thought would be too weak and might be swallowed by the remains, so he gave me a mechanical body; otherwise, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have been able to wait for Venerable's reincarnation to return.
But now the Vanshen has given birth to consciousness itself, which is also a very troublesome thing." The old monk sighed and said.
"Rest assured, before I reincarnated, I once anticipated that such a thing might happen, and I had already prepared backup plans.
As long as I can borrow the Yin energy of these two girls, plus a little essence blood from my previous life, and cultivate that secret technique, I can use the aura of my previous life to forcibly subdue this Vanshen body.
With the numerous heavy treasures accumulated during the Nascent Soul stage left on the highest floor, plus this Vanshen remains not inferior to a Golden Core Ancestor, I have great hope of advancing to the Nascent Soul realm in this life. By then, I won't forget you.
Although you are a divided thought from my previous life, after so many years, I'm afraid you also have independent consciousness and don't want to be taken back by me, right?" Kang Wuhen looked at the old monk, and a look of realization appeared on his face.
"Amitabha, Amitabha! Venerable, please forgive me. I have stayed in this secret realm for thousands of years and have indeed long been accustomed to staying outside. I hope Venerable can fulfill my wish." Hearing this, the old monk lowered his head and apologized repeatedly.
"You have waited for me here for a thousand years. Even if there is no credit, there is hard work. After I advance to the Golden Core, I will find you a real body and set you free." Kang Wuhen touched his chin and said to the old monk with a chuckle.
"Thank you, Venerable, for fulfilling my wish." The old monk was overjoyed.
"However, why are you so careless to let that junior from the Qianzhu Sect escape?
If that kid were still here, I could have used him directly as a medicine lead to refine that Human Soul Pill. Although this pill is somewhat against heaven, in this situation, it could have allowed me to practice that secret technique faster."
"Exalted One, please observe. I had originally urged the restriction power to force this kid into a dead end, but I didn't expect him to self-destruct his restriction-breaking artifact and forcibly break the restriction to run away.
Because I was worried about Exalted One's reincarnation body, I didn't dare to chase him and had to let him run away.
However, Exalted One, rest assured, the surroundings of the Jialan Temple are all covered by Dharma arrays. Even if he runs, he won't be able to run out of this temple.
It's just that so many years have passed, and many restrictions have failed and broken. It is estimated that it will take some more time to find him.
As for the Human Soul Pill, many people from the outside world have come outside the Dharma array now. It is easy to catch some and use them as medicine leads." The old monk replied with an unchanged expression.
"That's true. Then catch a few as soon as possible. By then, with the help of dual cultivation power and the Human Soul Pill, I will be able to practice the secret technique as soon as possible.
It's a pity that I awakened the memories of my previous life too late in this life, and my cultivation aptitude is not considered very good. I was only at the Qi Refinement Perfection realm when I entered the secret realm. If I were at the Qi Refinement Great Perfection level, I wouldn't have to be so troublesome and could have directly practiced that secret technique.
Even if the Vanshen hadn't had an accident, I could have taken out the pills from the top floor. Even if I were to build a foundation immediately, it would be an easy thing." Kang Wuhen showed a look of regret.
"The matter of refining the Human Soul Pill will be left to me.
I will go and urge the Dharma array now to see if I can catch a few of those demonic path people outside who are exploring the array." The old monk said respectfully.
"Hmm, go do it.
Although my memories of my previous life have recovered somewhat, and I know the refining method of the Human Soul Pill, my pill-refining skills simply cannot be restored to their original state immediately. It is estimated that I still need you to refine this pill." After Kang Wuhen nodded, he said.
"This is natural. Exalted One, please wait a moment. I will go and return soon." After the old monk bowed, he exited the hall.
After the old monk left the hall, Kang Wuhen sat on the chair and pondered quietly, then laughed and muttered a few words to himself:
"Is this the feeling of awakening the previous life? It's really wonderful!
Clearly two different memories, but they can exist at the same time. It's just that the memories of the previous life are still blurred and forgotten a lot. Then should I be Jialan Exalted One now, or Kang Wuhen?
Forget it, why care so much? As long as I can build a foundation and form a core, and even condense a Nascent Soul, it's the same whoever I am.
Now let's see what those two girls are doing."
He suddenly flipped one hand, and a pale golden token appeared in his hand, which he took and drew a circle in the void in front of him.
A white, blurred scene emerged in front of him.
He just shook the token in his hand, and the scene in the light screen in front of him began to change constantly. For a while, it showed the temple gate, for a while, it showed the temple high wall, and for a while, dense side rooms appeared...
Finally, the token in his hand paused, and the scene in the light screen in front of him turned into that pitch-black cylindrical hall again.
In the hall, the blue-armored and red-armored women had already returned to their original appearance and were sitting cross-legged on the ground, seemingly seizing every minute to recover their mana.
After Kang Wuhen watched for a while, his gaze fell on the women's curvaceous bodies, and he couldn't help but reveal a trace of lewdness.
