Chapter 787 - 413: Xuan Du (3)
"Ahhhhhhhh——!!!" "Owwhhh——!!"
Then Tie Dan roared loudly, quickly manifesting countless Blood Hands, choking, eye gouging, nose piercing, smearing Xuan Du’s face completely.
In a moment, the two strained and wrestled, the two men entangled like two lizards biting each other, tumbling in the Blood Pool, rolling in the mire.
After battling intensely for several breaths, and unable to determine a winner, Tie Dan suddenly felt Xuan Du’s grip on his throat loosen.
Of course, the opponent wasn’t strangled to death, but if this continued, the old man would have a better chance, whether using Gang Fist or Thunder Escape, he could put Tie Dan to death.
But Xuan Du voluntarily released his strength, patting Tie Dan’s chest, gasping for breath,
"No, don’t fight anymore... keep going and I’ll undergo Dao Transformation... this isn’t some catastrophe, killing me won’t do you any good..."
Dao Transformation is essentially like stopping, or dying.
As Chen Xuantian once realized, the Mystic Sect practices both cultivation and refining, turning and revolving, it’s basically Plasma Qi Group, and the Divinity Transformation of the Old Xuan Sect is an ultra-large Plasma Qi Group.
But Taiji Heaven offers no solution, True Spirit does not perish, only advances without retreating, eventually unable to control such a scale of Plasma Qi Group, so the Old Xuan Sect and old Divinity Transformation generally have two outcomes.
One is the ancient method of so-called ascension, saying frankly, retiring, lying flat, no longer striving to gather Qi and breakthrough, seeking another form of existence to coexist with Heaven and Earth, reconcile with the Great Dao, no longer suffering Heaven’s thunder strikes, the calamity of three disasters and nine difficulties, becoming an Immortal.
Feather Transformation Immortal, Corpse Resolving Immortal, or something else, in any case, gradually downgrading, slowly releasing Qi, the Heavenly Person Five Decays, eventually exhausting longevity and finishing fate.
Another is Dao Transformation, the so-called Harmonization, frankly defying everything, breaking the apprehension itself! Must push upward, frantically charge! Desperately gathering Qi! Forcibly breaking through the material realm’s boundaries! Ascending to the Primordial Universe!
The downside is that most people explode before taking off. Mm, with just a "boom!" obliterating one mountain top, or several mountain tops, completely dissolved between Heaven and Earth. Whether ascending to another realm, or the soul shattered, only Heaven knows.
However, mentioning your ancestor exploded indeed sounds unpleasant, thus everyone says returning to the truth, enduring within Heaven and Earth, integrating into the natural order, went to Harmonization...
Tie Dan needed to save someone, naturally unwilling to explode together with the old fellow, therefore he also slowly released strength, stopped the Magic.
The two no longer engaged in a duel, momentarily separated, facing each other, sitting cross-legged. If not observing the mess around, it would be like they had only peacefully debated Dao.
"Old now, can’t fight anymore..."
Xuan Du "click" reattached an arm, massaging his shoulder,
"Seems you truly aren’t sent by my senior brother to ruin things, in that case, I can open up candidly, discuss a bit."
Tie Dan snorted coldly,
"You’re truly blind in old age, finally figured it out."
Xuan Du chuckled,
"I realized with the first punch, you don’t even recognize Shenxiao Azure Sky Escape, yet randomly picked up a sword to fight head-on, entirely clueless on unlocking this path, impossible to be a descendent of Thunder Ancestor.
But I’ve stayed here too long, too bored, amusing myself with you. If I hadn’t feared Dao Transformation, dared not accumulate strength, you couldn’t withstand so many of my punches?"
Tie Dan knew he wasn’t lying, but kept a stern face, stubbornly,
"Stop boasting, bull nose already broken."
Xuan Du ignored his mischief, wiped away nosebleed, shook his head,
"Sect Leader Xuantian, you surely can fight, scarcely anyone as fierce as you in my generation, all you lack is a bit of cultivation and Dao Power.
Just calm down, undergo secluded meditation, integrate all your learnings, in a hundred years, at least top ten under Heaven, even competing for top three possibly.
Why rush into this calamity with your Daoist not yet completed?"
Those words Tie Dan naturally knew, precisely no one understood more clearly than him.
But can’t wait, truly waiting till reaching top under Heaven before emerging, some people’s destiny might be irretrievable.
"I just want to save someone. Won’t hinder your business."
Seeing Tie Dan’s persistence, Xuan Du frowning with suspicion,
"You truly want to save all living beings? You don’t seem like that rash sort?
Moreover, from Sword Sect origin, hardly of benevolence and universal love?"
Tie Dan glanced at the sword in hand,
"The fate of all living beings is none of my business, I just want to settle debts, while the opportunity arises, resolve karma."
Xuan Du understood, then nodded,
"...Alright, no more empty talk, let’s ask and answer. You’re here to ask about my nurturing demons, breeding monsters, right?"
Xuan Du clapped hands, debris and ruins leaped, like an invisible hand assembling blocks, reconstructed the palace destroyed during battle.
A series of bald heads emerged from ruins, rolling in flesh and blood on the ground, like dough kneading, absorbing scattered flesh and black grease, forming heads resembling marinated eggs, bouncing, flew into Xuan Du’s embrace, circling around like puppies.
"You’re guessing correctly, but I’m not ready, Insect Queen’s time hasn’t come yet, and these demons, all are for breeding Demon Fetus.
Using demon or monster is certainly better than directly using humans. Of course, Essence Blood still needs to borrow humans, but I select those murderous brigands, you won’t mind this much?
Lang Xuan, Lang Xuan... here this Lang Xuan, since you favor her, I’ll give her to you."
Tie Dan frowned, watching Xuan Du casually tossing marinated egg into his arms. A bald, soft, warm ball, like a meat lump, upon touch, cracked open mouth, sucking blood from his finger.
"...Can you identify which is which?"
Xuan Du puzzled,
"What’s hard to recognize, they’re all different looks... Anyway, tell it the appearance you like, tall, short, fat, thin, male, female, old, young, it can transform.
How to nurture, you just saw, if inconvenient, just feed a bit of Essence Blood."
Tie Dan furrowed eyebrows,
"So what is this exactly? Also brought from Void by Jiuxiao?"
Xuan Du nodded and shook head,
"No, this was stolen from Ziwei Constellation by Jiuxiao. Also, not sure why, those palace people call this... egg."
