Chapter 565 - 316: Avatar Returns! Physical and Spiritual Enhancement! (Part 2)
Though Monk Mo Sheng’s inner viscera were shattered, he still clung to life, able to speak.
He could not have imagined that today, coming to find Monk Mo Luo for a joint opportunity hunt,
would result in his death at the hands of a stranger without cause.
Su Que’s figure swept, soon arriving beside Monk Mo Sheng.
He employed telepathy, invading Monk Mo Sheng’s spirit.
Quickly, he acquired Monk Mo Sheng’s memories.
As expected, Monk Mo Sheng had not been a good person in the Lower Realm, committing great evils.
He established the Demon Sect in the Lower Realm, sacrificing tens of thousands of innocent people to gain the power to ascend to the Upper Realm.
Upon ascending to the Upper Realm, he was "guided" into Spirit Mountain.
However, his murderous desires were so strong that he quickly fell into temptation under the influence of Demon Buddha Puxun, leading to his downfall.
He killed several Bhikkhus from Spirit Mountain before escaping.
Following the guidance of Demon Buddha Puxun’s power, he found their mutual master with Monk Mo Luo, studying for three hundred years.
After sorting through Monk Mo Sheng’s memories, Su Que found the monk’s skills to be nothing he could use.
The Demon Sect techniques from the Lower Realm, though with side effects, were too weak to be of learning value.
Moreover, the cultivation techniques the monk practiced in the Upper Realm were either from Spirit Mountain or those from the Demon Buddha Puxun lineage.
Su Que also obtained knowledge of these two factions.
The cultivation techniques understood by Monk Mo Sheng, Su Que also knew, and more proficiently.
However, among Monk Mo Sheng’s memories, there was a message that attracted his attention.
It was about Monk Mo Sheng meeting a group of loose cultivators in the Unclaimed Land.
One of the cultivators from the group targeted a place occupied by Spirit Mountain where Celestial Medicine grew.
This cultivator investigated the Spirit Mountain’s guards at that location and felt that with just a few more people, they could kill them and pluck the Celestial Medicine completely.
After discussing it, they agreed to each recruit more people.
Monk Mo Sheng came here planning to call his brother to join him in action.
Additionally, Su Que learned of Monk Mo Sheng’s plan from his memory.
Before coming here, Monk Mo Sheng had devised a plan.
He intended to act together with Monk Mo Luo. After killing the Spirit Mountain guards, he would suddenly act and kill the other loose cultivators.
In this way, they could monopolize all the Celestial Medicine.
Monk Mo Sheng’s reliance was a magical treasure in his Storage Pouch, called [Sound Snake Ring].
It was refined from Exotic Beast Snake Skin.
Once used, this magical treasure could create directional sound wave attacks according to his thoughts.
He planned to use this treasure to disrupt the heart spirits of his companions and seize the opportunity to kill them.
’This guy is truly insidious.’
Su Que thought to himself.
Then, he released his Lifebound Demon Seed, embedding it into Monk Mo Sheng’s body, connecting it with his essence, qi, and spirit.
Shortly, Monk Mo Sheng’s essence, qi, and spirit were fully connected by the Lifebound Demon Seed.
Su Que was moved in his heart, drawing out the Demon Seed.
He took the Demon Seed into his dantian and then executed the Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique, merging the essence, qi, and spirit within the Demon Seed into his own.
His physical body and spirit strengthened again.
Moreover, within the Demon Seed, there lay the karmic force contained in Monk Mo Sheng’s being.
This monk, like Monk Mo Luo, had established faith in the Lower Realm, gaining karmic force.
After absorbing Monk Mo Sheng’s essence, qi, and spirit, the monk completely perished.
Su Que took his Storage Pouch, stripped his clothes, and released Myriad Poison True Qi, obliterating his corpse.
Having obtained Monk Mo Sheng’s memories, Su Que now knew how much time had passed.
He also knew tomorrow was the day the group of loose cultivators would go to the Celestial Medicine Land occupied by Spirit Mountain.
Su Que promptly activated the Eight-Nine Evil Technique, transforming his appearance into Monk Mo Sheng’s likeness.
Then, he put on Monk Mo Sheng’s clothes and went to the loose cultivators’ gathering place.
Of course, Celestial Medicine and Elixir are never too much.
Seeing as he could obtain more Celestial Medicine, naturally, he would make the trip.
With his spirit, he lifted his body, flying toward a city named "Huihai City."
This was the rendezvous place in Monk Mo Sheng’s memory with that group of loose cultivators.
The location of the Celestial Medicine was known to only one of the loose cultivators.
Thus, everyone had to follow the guidance of that cultivator.
Su Que landed a mile in front of Huihai City and walked into the city.
Like many of the Unclaimed Land’s castles, the city had guards.
As long as anyone was seen flying, unless they were part of the city’s army or a City Lord, they would be attacked.
Once inside the city, Su Que headed to the manor where the loose cultivators gathered.
He arrived at the manor’s entrance and knocked on the door.
Then, the door opened a sliver.
Peering through the crack was a middle-aged man with prominent nasolabial folds.
From Monk Mo Sheng’s memory, Su Que knew this man was the leader of the loose cultivators, named "Logan."
Upon seeing the semblance of Monk Mo Sheng in Su Que, Logan opened the door a bit further, enough for one person to enter.
Afterward, Logan’s eyes darted beyond Su Que’s shoulders.
He frowned and said, "Why are you alone? Didn’t you say you could bring your brother?"
Su Que shook his head. "I couldn’t find my brother."
"Ah," Logan sighed heavily, his eyes full of blame, then with a tone carrying disdain said, "Come in."
Su Que followed Logan inside.
Entering the manor, he saw besides Logan, eleven other cultivators.
All eleven cultivators turned their gaze toward Su Que.
"Monk, didn’t you say you could call your brother? Where is your brother?"
One cultivator with a topknot and a giant sword on his back addressed Su Que.
Su Que replied with the same words.
Suddenly, many people inwardly shook their heads.
Silently blaming the monk who had bragged about recruiting another competent person to join them.
Yet the monk was still there alone.
Simultaneously, they hatched a malicious thought.
Monk Mo Sheng’s strength was considered decent among them.
If one-on-one, they didn’t dare boast of defeating Monk Mo Sheng.
But now that Monk Mo Sheng had failed to bring his brother and came alone,
they thought that once the Celestial Medicine was gathered, they could kill the monk and reduce competitors in dividing the medicine.
"Are we still moving tomorrow?"
One cultivator, seeing Monk Mo Sheng’s spoken brother had not arrived, asked Logan.
Actually, Logan and the others wanted to involve Monk Mo Sheng greatly due to knowing he was a monk of the Demon Buddha Puxun lineage.
Many cultivators were aware of Demon Buddha Puxun’s legend, the ongoing Spirit Mountain campaign against his lineage.
They knew the cultivation techniques of Demon Buddha Puxun’s lineage countered Spirit Mountain effectively.
So, when Logan and the others heard Monk Mo Sheng could bring another brother,
their mission felt assured.
Logan, hearing the news, surged with rejection and disgust for "Monk Mo Sheng," accompanied by murderous intent.
After contemplating, he inadvertently glanced at Su Que: "Let me call another friend to join us."
"Tomorrow we’ll proceed as usual, you all should cultivate overnight here."
The loose cultivators nodded, heading to the manor’s meditation chambers to cultivate.
The next day, Logan indeed brought another cultivator to the manor.
Su Que sensed that this cultivator was at the Fifth-Layer of the Realm of Merging, weaker than Monk Mo Luo.
"Let’s set off now." Logan glanced at everyone and waved his hand.
A wheel of dim gray light appeared in the sky, flying to his feet.
He gently leapt up, standing atop the wheel as he and it transformed into a hall, flying toward the known Spirit Mountain Celestial Medicine location.
Everyone else took off flying.
Su Que employed the "Six Desires Celestial Demon Technique," mimicking Monk Mo Sheng’s aura, blending into the group of loose cultivators, flying with them.
