Chapter 926: Immortal Soul Possession

Crimson red!

Scarlet red!

The red light emanating from the old man across from him flickered, appearing sinister, strange, and terrifying at a glance.

This guy can actually change color?

Facing the old man, He Pingsheng’s spiritual sea spun wildly.

This old bastard isn’t dead.

Then, the Tai Pan Chi Tian Zheng clan must also know—so does that dog Jin Buhuan know that Old Man Jin Ku is still alive?

Then…

Is this Jin Ku Immortal Ruin, then, a trap set by the Jin Ku clan?

To lure and kill countless Mahayana Emperor-level cultivators?

But…

Why did this old man, upon my entering here, ignore everyone else and fixate solely on me? Is there something special about me?

A person of great destiny?

Thinking of this, He Pingsheng couldn’t help but shiver.

He forced calmness and asked, “Truly astonishing, Elder… In my entire life, the highest cultivator I’ve ever seen was a Mahayana Emperor; the highest I’ve ever heard of was only a Transcendent Immortal!”

“You are even higher than a Transcendent Immortal!”

“Then what realm is that?”

He Pingsheng didn’t know yet whether the other was friend or foe, nor how to respond.

He could only try to extract information first.

“There is no such rank in the mortal realm!” the old man said coolly. “I know that in the Immortal Realm, the lowest tier of immortals are called [Human Immortals], and above them are the [Earth Immortals]!”

“The Transcendent Immortals of the Spirit Realm are roughly equivalent to the [Human Immortals] of the Immortal Realm. If we count properly, then I am at the [Earth Immortal] realm!”

Earth Immortal…

He Pingsheng had no idea what that meant.

But it was terrifying.

“What is your name?”

“He Pingsheng?”

“Or Wang Dun?”

The red light on Jin Ku vanished, slowly shifting back to golden light.

He gazed calmly at He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng’s heart lurched: Damn it… Guoran !

Logically, this small world was sealed, rarely opened, and according to the Jin Ku clan, it only opened once every ten thousand years.

Information from this world should be completely cut off from the outside.

But now, this old bastard knows my name and my Senior Brother Wang’s name?

What does that imply?

It means someone opened this Immortal Ruin before it was supposed to, and transmitted information here!

The Jin Ku clan’s scheme is brilliant!

But what are they scheming against me for?

My destiny?

“How do you know?” He Pingsheng feigned shock, his eyes blazing as he stared at Jin Ku.

Jin Ku smiled and said, “You already have your answer—why ask me?”

“Then may I ask, what do you intend to do?” He Pingsheng stepped back cautiously!

Jin Ku seemed unconcerned, smiling as he watched He Pingsheng: “I’ve been trapped in this small spirit world for nearly a million years. I’m not in a hurry—why are you so anxious, having just arrived?”

“Hehehe…”

“Young man, you haven’t answered my question yet!”

He Pingsheng said, “Disciple… He Pingsheng!”

“Hmm!” Jin Ku said. “I’ve heard two geniuses with nine-nine destiny have appeared outside, and both are human!”

“Not bad!”

“The human race has a bright future ahead!”

“Don’t bother trying to retreat—it’s useless!” Jin Ku sat down calmly on He Pingsheng’s temporary cultivation ground. “This realm was created by me!”

“Likewise, with a single punch, I can shatter this entire world!”

“The power of an Earth Immortal is beyond your imagination!”

“Put it this way—if I weren’t afraid of heavenly laws, I could destroy the entire Spirit Realm with one slap!”

“Do you believe me?”

Jin Ku stared at He Pingsheng, brimming with confidence.

Hearing this, He Pingsheng felt utterly hopeless.

He had witnessed the power of Transcendent Immortals.

But this man across from him was even greater.

He might not be able to destroy the Spirit Realm with one slap—but if he wanted to, it wouldn’t be difficult.

He Pingsheng thought of his Three-Seven Talisman.

But he didn’t rush to use it.

After all, when he used it against a Transcendent Immortal before, the Immortal had instantly reversed control and slapped the talisman onto He Pingsheng himself.

That time, the Phoenix Clan Transcendent Immortal had been overconfident.

Otherwise, He Pingsheng would have been dead.

Now, if he rashly threw out the Three-Seven Talisman, it might not even stick to this man.

Hard.

He Pingsheng had never faced such a hopeless situation in his life.

“You just asked what I intend to do?” The old man seated on the chair smiled faintly at He Pingsheng. “I covet your body—and the destiny power within you!”

The chair was formed from the old ancestor’s will and the power of cosmic laws.

He Pingsheng was filled with icy dread.

My body?

Soul possession?

“Do you know how many years I’ve waited?” The old man tilted his head upward and sighed deeply. “You may not know that this body of mine is not physical—it’s merely formed from soul and spiritual essence!”

“Long ago, I committed a great crime against heavenly law, and the heavens cursed me!”

“With no other choice, I transferred part of the curse to my descendants, and sealed the rest within my own body!”

“Then I let my soul depart, surviving in this small world as a soul-body!”

“I’ve clung to life like this for a million years!”

“Had I not fused the Ten True Poisons, even this soul-body would have perished!”

“There is only one way to roam freely through heaven and earth!”

The old man lowered his head slightly, fixing his gaze on He Pingsheng: “Find a suitable vessel!”

“After I possess your body, my soul will use your nine-nine destiny power to instantly cleanse the curse, and from then on, I shall roam heaven and earth, ascending to the Immortal Realm, eternally immortal!”

“Wouldn’t that be glorious?”

Jin Ku made no secret of it—he told He Pingsheng plainly: I intend to possess you!

Because the gap in cultivation between them was too vast.

“Are you certain… this will free you from the heavenly curse?” He Pingsheng asked.

Jin Ku shook his head: “Not certain… but I can try. If I fail, so be it!”

“If I fail, I can still cling to life here!”

He Pingsheng felt like vomiting: You just keep clinging to life and use me as your guinea pig?

“You have no choice!” The old man rose from his chair and pointed a finger toward He Pingsheng.

In the next instant, runes flared around He Pingsheng.

Countless runes coalesced, and within a few breaths, a massive array was fully formed.

No array core, no array focal point, no array disc needed.

The array was formed directly from magic power and cosmic law.

He Pingsheng was awed by this technique.

“I’ll give you one chance!”

“Tell me—what are your final wishes…”

“Never mind…”

“You don’t need to speak. After I possess you, I’ll know everything in your mind!”

“I’ll fulfill your final wish myself!”

Fifth chapter delivered. A little love-powered support would be nice.
