Chapter 16: 【Lu Family Exterminated, Replacing Identity】 (Seeking Recommendation Votes)

Lu Chengtong subconsciously went to check that object, and then received a massive amount of information.

This was the "Spirit Master Basic Common Knowledge" organized by Yan Zhe, which included an introduction to the basic functions of the Treasure Mirror, information on existing Supernatural Powers, and the death notification of the previous Spirit Master.

By learning these contents, one could initially accept the existence of the Treasure Mirror and master the ability to use it.

And after receiving this information, Lu Chengtong became completely stunned.

【Supernatural Power Era Year 302, Lu Wuzhen died, cultivation at Foundation Establishment Mid-stage, six Foundation Establishment Dao Fruits】

The Lu Family, destroyed?

Although the Lu Family had indeed suffered a major blow when Lu Wuzhen sent him out.

The previous Patriarch Lu Mingzhang had gone missing, and Lu Wuzhen had been tasked with the responsibility in a time of crisis.

But, at that time, the Lu Family still had dozens of cultivators, including several Foundation Establishment True Persons, and could still be called a prominent cultivation family within Lu Yang Zhou.

Yet the news received now was that Lu Wuzhen was dead, and the vast majority of those Lu Clan members who possessed Dao Seeds were also dead.

According to the analysis of the feedback from the Treasure Mirror, it was not hard to see that the only ones left who possessed Dao Seeds and were still alive were those Lu Clan disciples who had joined the Ziyao Immortal Sect; with so many people including the Patriarch dead, the greatest possibility was that the Chanyun Mountain Lu Family had been wiped out!

Suddenly, he was jolted awake from his grief.

Lu Mingzhang died after reaching the Golden Core Realm, which meant he had provoked an enemy of the Golden Core Realm; now that the Lu Family members had been wiped out so cleanly, it was highly probable that the Golden Core Realm enemy had come to take revenge.

Since the other party's intention was to exterminate the Lu Family, then they, as Lu Clan members within the sect, were also at extremely high risk.

So, should he run away?

After thinking for a moment, and remembering his parents and relatives who had all been killed by that person, he was unwilling to leave so ignominiously.

Moreover, there was no guarantee that he could escape the pursuit of a Golden Core Realm enemy.

So what should he do?

Lu Chengtong had a habit of always asking himself questions.

Through this method, he set small goals for himself, cultivated step by step, and only then managed to enter the Qi Refining Realm First Layer at the age of twenty-two.

Now, eleven years had passed, and with his aptitude, he had only reached the Qi Refining Realm Third Layer; the barrier to the fourth layer had always been impossible to break through.

His good friend Cheng Tongru, who lay before him, had even worse aptitude than him; both were Four Spirit Roots, but he possessed a Superb Earth Spiritual Root, while his friend was merely a Medium-grade Earth Spiritual Root.

Cheng Tongru had entered the Immortal Sect due to a stroke of luck; his family were all ordinary people, and he had accidentally picked up a Spirit Fruit, gained good fortune, and was thus brought into the Immortal Sect to become an Outer Sect Disciple.

Now his cultivation was the same as his.

It was just that luck did not always favor him, and this time, due to the monster beast chaos, he had lost his life.

Suddenly, Lu Chengtong thought of something.

He could not leave, nor could he wait for danger to descend in his current identity; then why not change his identity and let himself die!

He thought of the 【Soul-Bewitching Soul-Seizing】 Supernatural Power within the Treasure Mirror, which could seize memories and tamper with memories.

Aside from himself, the only ones who knew the news of Cheng Tongru's death were the team leader Chen Rong and another Outer Sect Disciple at the Qi Refining Second Layer, Yang Bingzhi.

If he altered the memories of those two, and then used the 【Embryonic Transformation】 Supernatural Power to change his appearance, he could take Cheng Tongru's place.

The one who died would be himself.

Although he was only at the Qi Refining Third Layer, the Treasure Mirror possessed the Divine Soul Power of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, which could definitely complete this short segment of memory tampering.

He could also manage to kill those two.

But if he did that, the higher-ups would definitely suspect his problems; after all, only he survived, so the risk would be greater.

This method was still the safest.

Who would have thought that a mere Qi Refining Realm Third Layer disciple would possess such a powerful Supernatural Power.

After asking himself several questions in a row to ensure his answers were satisfactory, he began his action.

First, he used the 【Soul-Bewitching Soul-Seizing】 Supernatural Power to seize Cheng Tongru's memories.

After a person dies, their soul begins to dissipate after seven days; within seven days, although the soul is not attached to the body, it is only being continuously weakened, and unless it suffers a blow, it will not be directly extinguished.

Cheng Tongru was a cultivator, so if his soul were not interfered with, it would exist for a longer time.

However, that monster beast had attacked, and the monster power had struck into Cheng Tongru's body, directly injuring his soul, which was already on the verge of dissipating.

"Brother Cheng, from now on, I am you; I will take care of your relatives on your behalf!"

After saying this solemnly, Lu Chengtong seized the time, used the ability of the Treasure Mirror, seized Cheng Tongru's soul, and absorbed the memories within.

Afterwards, he took out from the Treasure Mirror an 【Embryonic Transformation】 Supernatural Power Fruit containing the Divine Soul cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage.

Yan Zhe had kept the six Dao Fruits produced after Lu Wuzhen's death, as well as the duplicate 【Spring Breeze Turns to Rain】 Dao Fruit and 【Submerged Abyss Escaping Earth】 Dao Fruit.

Using these things himself had no effect, so it was better to let the Spirit Master distribute them to others, so that the Dao Fruits could continue to develop.

After using the 【Embryonic Transformation】 Supernatural Power Fruit, Lu Chengtong suddenly possessed the Divine Sense perception of the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage, and for a moment, he felt as if the whole world was under his control.

Fortunately, his inner self issued a soul-searching interrogation to him in time.

You, a little Qi Refining Realm Third Layer cultivator, what are you worth?

He sobered up and recognized his own insignificance.

That just now was a side effect of his Divine Soul being much stronger than his cultivation; sometimes his thinking was too fast, and his hands and feet couldn't keep up.

He still needed to adapt.

Immediately after, he discovered that this Supernatural Power could actually make his Divine Soul disguise itself as a Qi Refining Realm Third Layer appearance, which was truly marvelous.

With no time to continue experiencing it, he hurriedly took a drop of Cheng Tongru's blood and refined it with the 【Embryonic Transformation】 Supernatural Power; subsequently, his body underwent a change.

He cast the 'Water Mirror Technique' to check, and sure enough, he had turned into the shape of his good friend Cheng Tongru.

Not only his appearance, but even his Divine Soul had undergone subtle changes, and his aura and the like had completely become another person.

This Supernatural Power was too powerful; if he obtained a drop of monster beast blood, he could change into the appearance of a monster beast; to say nothing else, it would be extremely useful for hiding and escaping while lurking in the forest.

Memories, appearance, aura, all were there, and his cultivation was the same; even if his closest person stood here, they would likely be unable to distinguish who was the real Cheng Tongru.

Subsequently, Lu Chengtong released a 'Fireball Technique' to burn Cheng Tongru's body, and then released a 'Clear Wind Technique' to blow away the dust.

Spells like 'Fireball Technique' and 'Water Mirror Technique' were the lowest-level ordinary spells, used in daily life, and everyone would learn them.

In this world, everyone possesses all five elements, so any Spell can be learned, though it is easier to learn Spells that match the attributes of one's higher-quality Spirit Root.

A breeze carried away the dust, the ground became clean, which meant that the person known as Lu Chengtong had vanished from this world.

From this moment on, he was Cheng Tongru.

Just as he was thinking, suddenly, a voice rang out from behind him.

"Brother Lu, you—ah!"
