Chapter 928: No Solution

Damn it... you bastard!

You... you you you... you actually stole my divine power?

You stole seven-tenths of my divine power?

I’ll kill you!

Jin Ku cursed loudly, using his remaining three-tenths of soul power to wrestle with He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng not only had profound soul power, but with the [Purple Mansion Nine Shields Method] and [Formless North Star Nail] two spiritual sense techniques, he suppressed Jin Ku’s soul spirit in barely a few breaths.

Wait...

He Pingsheng... if you don’t want to die, stop right now!

Jin Ku, unable to win, pleaded: “We can talk!”

“Talk?” He Pingsheng sneered. “When you tried to possess me, you didn’t want to talk. Now you do?”

“So what?” Jin Ku said. “I know your spiritual sense is strong now—but how long will that last?”

“When the power on this talisman fades, I’d like to see what you can do then.”

He Pingsheng said: “Let me be honest with you—this talisman’s power is permanent. It will never fade in your lifetime.”

“Huh?” Jin Ku froze.

After three breaths, he said: “If that’s true, you absolutely cannot suppress me!”

“He Pingsheng... although you’ve stolen seven-tenths of my divine power, I still have three-tenths left!”

“But those three-tenths are still three-tenths of a Ground Immortal’s spiritual sense!”

“If you push me, since I’m dead either way, what’s stopping me from just exploding?”

“Then neither of us will survive!”

“Remember, this is your mind sea—not out there!”

“And!” Jin Ku continued. “I carry ten primordial heavenly poisons. If I explode, all ten will detonate simultaneously within your mind sea!”

“Think—do you have any chance of surviving?”

Now it was He Pingsheng’s turn to fall silent.

If this were outside, he wouldn’t fear an explosion.

He could just dodge away!

If Void Swift Movement failed, I’d just enter my magic treasure’s space.

After all, no matter how hard you explode, you can’t destroy my Hongmeng Purple Gold Rod, right?

But now? Impossible.

Both of us are locked in fierce combat inside He Pingsheng’s mind sea!

If this bastard explodes, He Pingsheng has zero chance of survival!

“Hahahaha...” Jin Ku laughed loudly. “I’ve lived a million years—dying means nothing to me!”

“But you’re still young, and you carry the Nine-Nines Destiny. To die like this? What a waste!”

“He Pingsheng, you’d better let me out right now!”

He Pingsheng smiled: “Fine... you go first!”

Jin Ku: “No no no... I can’t leave. I’m staying inside your mind sea!”

“If I leave, you’ll just bully me at will, won’t you?”

Actually... yes.

“He Pingsheng... give back my divine power immediately, or I’ll explode right now!”

Jin Ku, thinking he had He Pingsheng cornered, threatened: “Of course, I can promise you—if you return my divine power, I won’t attempt to possess you again!”

“And I’ll even give you one of the primordial poisons!”

“What do you say?”

He Pingsheng said: “It’s not that I won’t return it...”

“This power comes from the talisman’s rule-force. Once activated, it cannot be withdrawn!”

“And!” He Pingsheng added, half-truthfully: “This talisman binds us together. If I die, you die too.”

“What?” Jin Ku’s face turned ashen. “You’re serious?”

He Pingsheng said: “I’ve said all I need to say. If you don’t believe me, that’s your problem.”

Jin Ku, who had just been plotting a surprise attack to kill He Pingsheng and escape, now dared not move a muscle!

The situation had reached a stalemate.

If He Pingsheng made a move, Jin Ku would explode.

This wasn’t a bluff—it was very likely to happen.

After all, if you’re trying to kill someone, what’s stopping them from exploding?

But conversely, Jin Ku was at a disadvantage in divine power—he couldn’t kill He Pingsheng either.

“Alright,” said He Pingsheng after half an incense stick of silence, both having calmed down. “I have a proposal.”

Jin Ku said: “Speak.”

He Pingsheng said: “Simple. We both swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao.”

“I’ll swear that if you leave my body and give me one of your ten primordial poisons, I’ll never bother you again!”

“After that, you can live here just as before.”

“But you must swear a Heavenly Dao oath not to reveal that I possess the Treasure Basin.”

“Then we won’t distrust each other.”

“No way!” Jin Ku sighed. “Brother, it’s not that I refuse—it’s that... think about it. I’m cursed by the Heavenly Dao. Ten primordial poisons were forced onto me, I sealed myself in this small world, and I even shed my physical body. Why?”

“Wasn’t it to break free from the Heavenly Dao’s chains?”

“Now you want me to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao? Are you trying to make sure the Heavenly Dao finds me?”

“Of course, the Heavenly Dao is omniscient—it will find me eventually. But it doesn’t focus all its attention on me. I’m just hiding a little!”

“I absolutely cannot swear that oath!”

“One oath, and I’m exposed!”

Damn!

No solution.

I can’t kill you!

You don’t dare kill me!

He Pingsheng wants Jin Ku to leave his mind sea, but Jin Ku won’t leave.

This is ridiculous...

“So what now?”

“You decide.”

He Pingsheng had no answer.

Jin Ku said: “Honestly, neither of us can trust the other. After all, you have the Treasure Basin, right?... It’s impossible...”

“I don’t believe you won’t kill me the moment I leave your body!”

“I think we only have one path left.”

“That’s... symbiosis!”

“Symbiosis?” He Pingsheng leapt up. “Jin Ku... I’ll f*** your grandma! I’m a perfectly normal person, and you want to symbiosis with me?”

“Alright alright... I misspoke!” Jin Ku said. “Not symbiosis—parasitism!”

“Let me parasitize in your mind sea for a while, okay?”

“Don’t worry—your talisman keeps me from causing trouble!”

“If you die, I die too, right?”

“But what kind of talisman is this? Why is it so outrageous?” Jin Ku suddenly remembered the talisman.

He Pingsheng didn't bother to explain, just said: “It’s enhanced by the Treasure Basin—of course it’s outrageous!”

Jin Ku immediately believed: “So that’s why! No wonder!”

“Ah, brother, with the Treasure Basin, you’ll inevitably grow powerful!”

“With careful cultivation, even in the Immortal Realm, you could become a Heavenly Immortal Emperor!”
