Chapter 450: Doesn't Matter, the Daoist Sect Master Will Not Help
Luo Wusheng's ability to adapt was indeed impressive.
Although he had just suffered the little pink fox's prank, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that in a certain sense, this was also a rather unique experience… and if he looked at it with a gentleman's perspective, perhaps it could even be considered a special form of kink?
After performing a round of psychological hypnosis on himself, he indeed felt much better.
And since the little pink fox had completed this step, her anger had thoroughly dissipated. He had finally escaped the chain reaction caused earlier by his slip of the tongue.
"Eh? Wait, Yao Ji, if that's the case, doesn't that mean my spiritual essence had already begun changing inside your body, since our separation that day?"
Luo Wusheng suddenly realized something off. "Then why didn't you mention this last time you possessed Tower Master Yue's body?"
"Hehe, this is something between just the two of us. How could I let that old hag know?"
Yao Ji narrowed her eyes as she replied.
Please. She knew extremely well how terrible that old woman, who liked pretending to be young, could be. If she knew about this, who knows how she would twist the story to deliberately piss her off.
For example… something like: 'Your dear Young Master's essence entered your body and merged with what's precious to you, giving birth to new life?'
Hmm, she felt that old hag could say something even more ambiguous and infuriating, but her own imagination was slightly lacking.
Luo Wusheng pondered. "If you don't say it… would she truly not know?"
That white-haired loli's [Art of Divination] was practically an Isekai Protagonist Hax-tier. Is there something that she can't know if she seriously wanted to know it?
Yao Ji froze for a moment. Her expression suddenly grew unpleasant.
"That woman… When we made that plan, she never suspected that I might actually succeed in using the spirit-calling technique…"
She muttered under her breath, subconsciously glancing at her dear Young Master.
Then she suddenly paused, frowning in confusion. "What are you doing?"
Yao Ji could sense that within Luo Wusheng's meridians—constructed using her own spiritual energy—the spiritual energy had begun circulating along some mysterious trajectory.
"I'm testing whether I can run my cultivation techniques and some of my special secret techniques using this body. If it works, I want to see what kind of effect it will have."
Luo Wusheng responded with a completely serious expression.
Some things—since resistance was futile—might as well be enjoyed from another angle.
To be honest, this bizarre body was indeed a fascinating experience.
Even if the outward appearance was something that shattered his worldview a bit, once he got over it, it really wasn't something unacceptable.
He was going back to his real body eventually anyway.
Thus, the Demon Sect Holy Saint, following the philosophy of "since I'm already here, might as well relax and enjoy it," began seriously studying his current vessel.
The structure was similar to a normal human body, and with the little pink fox's spiritual energy supporting him, maybe running cultivation techniques might produce some interesting results?
Even if he failed, the worst-case scenario was spiritual energy overload and the body exploding… but for a slime, exploding and reconstituting wasn't exactly a big deal.
"..."
Yao Ji fell into deep thought.
She clearly intended this to be punishment for her Young Master, but why did this guy give off such a vibe of thoroughly enjoying himself?
Should she say as expected of her dear Young Master?
"Hm? The cultivation technique has no effect? It seems I can't absorb spiritual energy… Alright, let's try a few secret techniques next."
Luo Wusheng began sorting through the secret techniques he had learned.
Then, without thinking, he lifted his eyes and looked toward the little pink fox standing before him.
If… using his current body, he were to perform the Nether Uprising Hemal Sanguine Technique on the little pink fox, what kind of effect would it produce?
Although he currently could not touch the little pink fox's Ninth Tail—any spiritual essence would be directly absorbed back into her—but aside from the Ninth Tail, there were still eight whole tails, and two ears…
'No no no, that technique is far too stimulating. And with the little pink fox's subordinates right over there filming a Plants vs Zombies live-action scene—if in this situation she ends up moaning like last time, my life story will meet its finale on the spot.'
There was also the possibility that, like a certain white-haired loli, he might face the risk of being sold by the little pink fox to some strange place afterward.
Thinking carefully, Luo Wusheng—whose instinct for survival was presently very strong—abandoned the idea.
Right now he was desperately suppressing his thoughts to avoid blurting out something reckless; how could he attempt something so suicidal?
And aside from the Nether Uprising Hemal Sanguine Technique, in terms of remaining secret techniques…
Luo Wusheng was still pondering when he suddenly heard the little pink fox's voice—finally unable to hold back any longer.
"Young Master doesn't seem to be concerned about the situation in the Immortal Nation's Royal City?"
Yao Ji forced down the twitching on her face as she spoke.
"If I manage to take the third golden feather of that Roc, with its current situation in Netherland, it may not be able to endure any longer and could prepare to descend with its Origin Form into the royal city."
"Hm?" Luo Wusheng raised an eyebrow.
His gaze shifted towards the battlefield of Plants vs Zombies in the distance.
The little pink fox had set up a small formation, preventing the commotion over there from affecting this side. But even just visually, it was obvious that the battle strongly favored the Plants.
No wonder the little pink fox wasn't taking the field herself—the combat strength of that plant team was indeed sufficient… but what was even going on with those bizarre plant spirits? Had the little pink fox specifically cultivated a group of peak stage Nascent Soul realm plants?
—Yes, the plants currently fighting on the front lines were all at Peak stage Nascent Soul realm strength.
Only the little girl handling logistics was merely at Golden Core, but as a support she played a crucial role in this battle—her healing output was completely disproportionate to her cultivation.
With such a dynamic, the corpse of the Flood Dragon grew increasingly damaged; within the center of its brow, a faint golden feather was gradually being forced out.
'Once that side is resolved, the Netherkin race turmoil will be entering its final stage, huh…'
Luo Wusheng stroked his chin.
Seeing him appear deep in thought, Yao Ji nodded inwardly with satisfaction.
With the topic brought up to this point, it was about time she discussed with her dear Young Master the support she could offer in that old hag's plan.
Yao Ji smiled gently and continued from her previous line:
"That Roc has made quite a few preparations for today. Now that it's at the point of risking everything, perhaps even I may not be able to stop it."
"If the former emperor of the Immortal Nation were still present, they could restrain it—but that sovereign has long vanished without a trace."
"At this moment within the royal city, forget a Peak Divine Transformation stage expert, there isn't even a single late Divine Transformation stage cultivator. If the Roc descends, it's hard to say whether they can even resist it."
"And the last trump card of the Empress—"
Yao Ji was still speaking, but suddenly, her words stopped abruptly, and the gentle smile on her stunning face froze in place.
Her eyes, carrying starlight within them, shifted to look toward where Luo Wusheng stood.
The body was still only about a foot tall.
But it no longer retained the liquid characteristics of a slime body—it had instead solidified completely, as if fully condensed.
Its surface appeared coated in a layer of golden lacquer, faintly emanating a hazy glow.
Just looking at that glow inspired a sense of great compassion and great wisdom, as though one's heart became calm, all agitation suppressed, and the mind cleared to see its true nature.
And in that moment, Luo Wusheng's body changed once more.
His facial features gradually gained definition, radiating a transcendent handsomeness; the dress little pink fox had jokingly put on him transformed into a plain inner robe, and then reshaped again into attire nearly identical to what he normally wore.
By now, he looked almost indistinguishable from his original physical body.
Yao Ji: "..."
Feeling the little pink fox's glare stabbing into him like needles, Luo Wusheng scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Ahem— looks like certain special techniques can be run using this body… At least it seems I can still use my Golden Body technique?"
Not only usable, the effects were unbelievably good!
Not only did it reconstruct his original appearance, but even the voice little pink fox had modified was restored!
"And using techniques with this body feels incredibly new… cross-verifying like this even let me deepen my understanding of the technique to another level… Ah, I accidentally said that out loud again."
Luo Wusheng quickly shut his mouth.
Yao Ji suddenly felt emotionally exhausted.
What else could she even say? Praise her dear Young Master's methods for being beyond her imagination? Compliment his talent for soaring to new heights even in this situation?
Wasn't this supposed to be a punishment? How did it turn into this?
Should she flip the table or what?!
On the other side, seeing the little pink fox trembling with rage—almost about to go berserk—Luo Wusheng felt he should try to salvage the situation.
Anyway, it was better to talk business now… although he had been trying to operate a modified Buddhist Golden Body technique just now, he was still half listening to little pink fox's words.
"Um… If that Roc is planning to attack the Immortal Nation…"
Luo Wusheng raised his hand weakly like a student asking a question:
"I think it doesn't matter. The Daoist Sect Master will intervene."
That Daoist Sect Master—one of the strongest among peak-stage Divine Transformation cultivators—was no weaker than the former Immortal Nation Emperor or the Demon Sect Master. As the first of the Three Ancient Sect human representatives to appear in the original storyline, he displayed an overwhelming level of dominance during the monster uprising.
For Luo Wusheng, the Netherkin race's Netherking taking action actually signaled that the monster rebellion was about to end.
Before the little pink fox dragged him over here, he had only been worried about whether the Flood Dragon corpse might show up in the capital and cause trouble… but now the controlled corpse was already being smashed like a watermelon by those three giant seeds in the distance—clearly no danger anymore.
The royal city's preparations were more thorough than in the original plot; nothing should go wrong. And he already rescued Miss Kirin, so, mission accomplished.
That's why Luo Wusheng wasn't nervous at all, even still calmly experimenting with his slime body and considering the possibility of using this as a prototype to create an external incarnation formed from his own spiritual essence.
But at that moment, the fox girl across from him furrowed her brows—her previous complexity shifting entirely to solemnity.
"No."
"Daoist Sect Master will intervene… Where did Young Master learn that from?"
"Just last time, Yue Xuanji personally told me that in this Netherkin attack, the Daoist Sect Master will absolutely not take action to aid the Immortal Nation!"
...
Immortal Nation Royal City, within the space where the Trial of Ascension Platform was located.
Even though chaos raged outside, the Human Immortal List battle still progressed steadily.
This entire spatial domain currently allowed only designated individuals to enter or exit… including the two young girls participating on behalf of the Immortal Nation under the recommendation of the Demon Sect Holy Saint.
On the eastern side of the Immortal Platform, atop the lofty pavilion peaks, a young girl in imperial robes stood quietly behind a beaded curtain. Her jade-like neck lifted slightly, and the eyes shining with faint azure light seemed to gaze past the curtain toward the vast horizon beyond.
"The Daoist Sect Master and the Imperial Temple… neither intends to make a move?"
She murmured softly, then gently shook her head.
Had she not already been mentally prepared for this?
In the end, this catastrophe could only be faced by herself alone.
As this thought surfaced in her heart, an image of a certain handsome young man inexplicably appeared in her mind—only to be immediately dispersed by her.
"No matter what, I've already done everything possible."
If the Netherking did not appear, then this battle would undoubtedly be an Immortal Nation victory.
Although the Divine Transformation realm battlefield was still locked in stalemate, the lower-level battlefields were already dominated by the Immortal Nation's forces.
The Lich that the Netherkin race relied on to reverse the lower-level situation had its summoned spirit fiend completely purified by two young girls bearing unique abilities.
As expected of someone that he recommended.
Her beautiful eyes flickered with a slightly different light.
Those two girls—clearly only at the Foundation Establishment realm—yet their displayed combat power far surpassed any Golden Core on the lower battlefield.
The only problem was… both were girls, and both were closely connected with him.
'Not sure what happened, but I saw his junior sister with a dark expression earlier—she fought as if venting something…'
Forget it. She no longer had the capability to concern herself with others.
"It's nearly time to summon the Immortal Soul… If I haven't miscalculated, that is when the Netherkin race's Netherking will strike."
The imperial-robed girl clenched her small fist, then glanced at her left wrist, only to reveal a wry smile.
That bracelet… seemed to be in the Imperial Alter Ego's possession.
'To think that was something he gifted to the Mortal Alter Ego in a dream…'
The Imperial Alter Ego was truly stingy. She was already disguising herself to act in her stead, yet she still refused to hand over that item.
If only that Star-Moon Jade that he gave wasn't the one and only in the entire world… distributing this bracelet across her three Alter Ego was such a pain…
"Heh… To think that at a time like this, I'm still thinking about something so pointless."
Her smile took on an inexplicable meaning, and her tense body slightly relaxed.
The azure glow in her eyes brightened again as she began rapidly performing celestial calculations.
"The Mortal Alter Ego's death was the greatest unforeseen accident so far… If it were still alive, then by merging the Three Alter Ego, and adding the power gained from summoning the Immortal Soul, I might have just enough strength to repel—or even seal—the Netherking."
"Even with my Immortal Soul present, how far can I possibly go when my Mortal Alter Ego is absent?"
With a turn of her palm, strands of light formed into threads and extended outward—only to snap one after another without exception, adding a faint pallor to her stunningly beautiful face.
A dead end…
Without outside help, and with her Mortal Alter Ego missing, if the Netherking of the Netherkin race were to make a move, her chances of breaking this predicament were slim—almost nonexistent.
"If only my Mortal Alter Ego were still here…"
The girl murmured softly, but suddenly froze mid-sentence.
Her eyes trembled.
She… had received a signal from her Mortal Alter Ego? And not just a signal—memory synchronization?
Could it be that her Mortal Alter Ego had escaped its confinement?
Inextinguishable joy surged onto her face, and she decisively began receiving the memories of her Mortal Alter Ego.
The smile on her face slowly stiffened.
