Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

Chapter 315: Return, Soul Toxin!

Qingyuan City.

Liu Zimo's figure appeared leisurely in the backyard of the Yu Clan's residence, like mist.

Swish!

His aura slightly overflowed, instantly awakening Yu Jiangcheng, who was cultivating in seclusion in the secret chamber.

"Senior, you're here!"

Yu Jiangcheng quickly arrived and bowed respectfully upon seeing Liu Zimo's figure.

Without Liu Zimo needing to ask, he took the initiative to explain in detail the development of the Yu Clan Immortal Clan over the past half year.

"Last time, Senior sent two million Supreme Grade Spirit Stones, greatly enriching the foundation of our Yu Clan Immortal Clan."

"In the past half year, I have used these Supreme Grade Spirit Stones and the cultivation resources Senior previously bestowed to recruit more people and strengthen the clan's power."

"Now, there are already twelve cultivators in the Gold Core realm, thirty-one in the Golden Core realm, and over a hundred in the Qi Condensation realm within the Yu Clan Immortal Clan. Our overall strength has long surpassed all the Immortal Clan families in Qingyuan City!"

"Also, the guardian of the nearby Ascension Land is now one of us."

"In the past half month, I have guided thirteen Ascenders from the mortal realm to Ascension Land through him."

"However, I haven't encountered any Ascenders from the Earth Realm that Senior asked me to pay special attention to..."

Liu Zimo nodded slightly upon hearing this.

When he had just arrived, he had quietly investigated the general situation of the Yu Clan Immortal Clan.

Indeed, there was no significant difference from what Yu Jiangcheng had said.

However, he would investigate in detail again in the future to see if Yu Jiangcheng was hiding anything.

If this person was two-faced, playing tricks behind his back, Liu Zimo wouldn't mind changing to another agent.

"In the end, it's because your Soul Devouring Worm is too useless!"

"If you can deal with the Spirit Body in Yu Jiangcheng's sea of consciousness, everything wouldn't be so troublesome!"

Liu Zimo said with some disdain to the demon Lingling in his sea of consciousness.

Regardless of Yu Jiangcheng's character, whether he was truly loyal and honest or cunning and rebellious, if he could directly place a clone of the demon Lingling's Spirit Body in his sea of consciousness like Ouyang Xinxin, Liu Zimo wouldn't have to be so suspicious.

"Who said this worm isn't a match for that Crimson Flame Tiger?"

The demon Lingling immediately became angry, flapping its wings and arguing loudly with Liu Zimo:

"Last time, I had just awakened and my strength hadn't fully recovered. Besides, that is the territory of the Crimson Flame Spirit Tiger. It has the home advantage and can completely control Yu Jiangcheng's sea of consciousness. If I, an outsider, go there, I naturally won't be a match."

"But now, I have evolved to Rank Two form. I have devoured more than five high-rank Nascent Soul bodies, far surpassing what I was a year ago. My strength has increased by countless times!"

"Now, if the master needs it, I can take down the little tiger in Yu Jiangcheng's sea of consciousness in minutes and turn him into our own person!"

The demon Lingling looked indignant and arrogant, completely disregarding the Crimson Flame Spirit Tiger.

"Is that so?" Liu Zimo raised an eyebrow and directly said, "Then, please begin your performance now!"

Whoosh!

With Liu Zimo's command, the demon Lingling, who had been holding its breath to prove itself, turned into a stream of light and plunged straight into Yu Jiangcheng's sea of consciousness.

Yu Jiangcheng was stunned, his expression changing. He quickly asked Liu Zimo:

"Senior, I don't know what Junior did wrong, why..."

Before the words were finished, Yu Jiangcheng stood frozen on the spot, his expression dazed and speechless.

"Roar~!"

At this moment, a low and furious beast roar sounded in Yu Jiangcheng's sea of consciousness.

Immediately, a red stream of light flashed, and a fiery red light directly drilled into Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness from Yu Jiangcheng's forehead.

Seeing this, Liu Zimo was delighted.

Yao Lingling really had some skills. She actually expelled the Crimson Flame Spirit Tiger from Yu Jiangcheng's sea of consciousness so quickly.

However, it did not completely leave the Crimson Flame Spirit Tiger in Yu Jiangcheng's sea of consciousness and completely annihilate it, indicating that Yao Lingling had been bragging before.

"Roar~!"

"Shameless Human Cultivator, dare to ambush this deity, attempting to control this deity's master, damn it to the extreme!"

"Today, even if this deity has to risk its life, it will not let your scheme succeed!"

"You want to control my master, now let this deity control your Divine Sense!"

After entering Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness space, the Crimson Flame Spirit Tiger roared angrily, its Spirit Power erupted to the limit, intending to attack Liu Zimo's soul origin and control this sea of consciousness space.

However, Liu Zimo just smiled faintly, not paying the slightest attention to the Crimson Flame Spirit Tiger's threats.

Not to mention that he was already at the peak mid-rank Nascent Soul stage, with a stable soul as solid as a mountain, far from being shaken by such a small thing like the Crimson Flame Spirit Tiger.

Just the sea of consciousness space millions of kilometers away from Liu Zimo, even if he did nothing, the Crimson Flame Spirit Tiger would never be able to control him in this lifetime.

As expected.

In just a moment, Liu Zimo heard the desperate howl of the Crimson Flame Spirit Tiger.

"Why is it like this?!"

"Why is this sea of consciousness space so vast that this deity's spiritual fluctuations cannot penetrate its boundaries and foundations?!"

"So this is the true strength of a Transcendent realm Immortal Dao cultivator, truly powerful to the point of despair!"

"..."

Snap!

Not wanting to listen to the piercing roar of the little tiger here, Liu Zimo's mind moved, and his will turned into a blade, cutting the Crimson Flame Spirit Tiger in half with a single slash.

Afterwards.

The Spirit Body liquefied, turning into pure and rich soul origins that merged into Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness.

At the same time, Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness space expanded by another ten thousand meters.

Plop!

Just as the Crimson Flame Spirit Tiger fell, Yu Jiangcheng, who had been standing still, suddenly spewed out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, Liu Zimo couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

It seemed that the contract between Yu Jiangcheng and the Crimson Flame Spirit Tiger was not a master-servant contract, but a kind of symbiotic and equal contract.

Now that the contract Spirit Body had fallen, Yu Jiangcheng's soul was also injured and seriously wounded.

"It's enough, Master!"

At this moment, Yao Lingling's true body returned to Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness and respectfully reported,

"Yu Jiangcheng's sea of consciousness has been completely controlled by my Spirit Body avatar."

"In order to not affect his relationship with the master, I have sealed and deleted all his memories about the Crimson Flame Spirit Tiger from his sea of consciousness."

"Furthermore, I have also discovered that this kid has actually secretly hoarded three hundred thousand Supreme Grade Spirit Stones and more than half of the cultivation resources, intending to cultivate them carefully until someone from the Yu Clan ascends to the Upper Realm."

"Moreover, he has even thought about waiting until his cultivation base is established, then taking his own people and all the wealth of the Yu Immortal Clan to escape from the Qingyun Immortal Domain, completely freeing himself from the control of the master!"

"Hmph, he does have self-awareness, knowing that he can never be a match for the master. Otherwise, he wouldn't want to escape, but instead plot against the master..."

Yao Lingling angrily recounted the memories she had glimpsed in Yu Jiangcheng's sea of consciousness, bluntly stating that Yu Jiangcheng is a treacherous person and deserves his current fate.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zimo shook his head indifferently.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with Yu Jiangcheng's intentions.

The so-called "people don't work for others, Heavenly Punishment will destroy them."

No one would willingly be subservient to others for their entire life. Planning for oneself and one's clan's future is not a big mistake, it can only be said to be human nature.

However, he shouldn't harm others while planning for himself, especially at the expense of Liu Zimo's interests.

That is very unethical.

And this is the fundamental reason why Liu Zimo must eliminate the Spirit Body in Yu Jiangcheng's sea of consciousness and completely control it in his own hands.

Because as long as one is human, they cannot control their own selfishness and greed.

Even if there are no problems now, over time, trouble will surely arise.

"Huh? What's wrong with me?"

At this moment, Yu Jiangcheng, who had been motionless, suddenly came to his senses, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked puzzled.

"Oh, I remember, I was poisoned before, and this is senior helping me detoxify and heal!"

Saying that, Yu Jiangcheng bowed gratefully to Liu Zimo and sincerely said,

"Thank you, senior, for saving me once again! I'm afraid I won't be able to repay this favor in my lifetime!"

This is the magical aspect of Yao Lingling's Devouring Spirit Supernatural Power.

It can quietly influence and change someone's character and mentality without anyone noticing.

Now, although Yu Jiangcheng still has his own independent thinking and mental abilities, he has completely ingrained loyalty and gratitude towards Liu Zimo.

As long as the Spirit Body implanted in his sea of consciousness by Yao Lingling is not destroyed, he will never betray Liu Zimo in his lifetime.

Liu Zimo shook his head slightly and said, "No need for that, just focus on doing things for me in the future."

"Now, find me a quiet room. I will be in Closed Door Training for a while."

Upon hearing this, Yu Jiangcheng nodded repeatedly and personally led Liu Zimo to the secret room where he had previously practiced Closed Door Training.

Afterwards, without Liu Zimo's instructions, he voluntarily stayed outside the door, personally guarding Liu Zimo.

Inside the secret room, Liu Zimo waved his hand and set up a small Yin & Yang Interlocking Locking Formation around him.

Then he sat in a Lotus Position, calmly operating the Star Beyond Secret Technique.

He projected his Spiritual Sense into the void and instantly glimpsed the boundless void and countless stars outside the Transcendent Realm.

There were too many!

In the void, there were densely packed tiny stars that constantly flickered.

Each tiny speck of starlight, like specks of dust, represented a small world.

Even though it wasn't the first time he had seen such a celestial phenomenon, Liu Zimo was still amazed and captivated by the sight before him.

"Bloodline as the guide, origin as the anchor, search!"

With the experience from the first time, Liu Zimo skillfully dispersed his Spiritual Sense and silently activated his Supernatural Power, quickly sensing the location of the Earth Realm among the countless stars.

Unlike last time when he used the [Star Beyond] Supernatural Power, it was extremely difficult to find and sense the location of the Earth Realm as his Cultivation Base had just barely broken through to the Gold Core stage.

But now, he had already reached the peak mid-rank of the Nascent Soul stage, and his Spiritual Sense Cultivation Base was ten or even a hundred times stronger than before. When he once again used the [Star Beyond] Supernatural Power to explore the location of the Earth Realm, it was effortless.

After three breaths.

Following the faint attraction from the origin, Liu Zimo's Spiritual Sense directly locked onto and traversed through the void to the Earth Realm.

"Haha, this bug has finally returned!"

Just as he arrived in the Earth Realm, Yao Lingling, who had been hiding within Liu Zimo's Spiritual Sense, couldn't wait to jump out.

Vibrating its wings, dancing with joy.

"Master, may I search for the devouring spirit insects hidden in this world?" Yao Lingling landed on Liu Zimo's shoulder, using a respectful tone to ask for Liu Zimo's permission.

Liu Zimo glanced at Yao Lingling and said calmly, "We'll talk about that later. For now, come with me back home."

Without waiting for Yao Lingling to say anything else, Liu Zimo's figure turned into a stream of light and directly teleported to the Great Xia Kingdom, appearing in the sky above Luozhou City.

Unlike the peaceful and prosperous atmosphere when Liu Zimo first returned, this time the people of Luozhou City, or rather the entire Great Xia Kingdom, had gloomy expressions and heavy hearts.

The entire city and country seemed to be shrouded in a layer of melancholy.

Sure enough, something had happened!

Liu Zimo's expression changed slightly, and he immediately sent his divine sense into the spiritual energy sanctuary outside the city.

When he saw his father and uncle lying motionless on the bed with darkened faces, his worries deepened.

No wonder he had been inexplicably restless in the Transcendent Realm. It seemed that something had indeed happened to his father and uncle.

These two were his closest blood relatives, deeply connected to him. They were the people he cared about the most in this world.

If something happened to them, even someone like Liu Zimo, whose Cultivation Base had already advanced to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, would be able to sense it.

Swish!

Liu Zimo's figure flickered, and he appeared directly in the spiritual energy sanctuary, standing in front of his father and uncle's bed, bowing his head to investigate.

And Ye Feihong, Lou Xiaoxiao, and the three ancient spirit beasts who had been guarding outside the room didn't notice anything.

"This... is a soul toxin?"

"And it has completely merged with the soul origin. With the current level of cultivation in the Earth Realm, there is almost no solution!"

With a quick glance, Liu Zimo determined the reason why Liu Yi and Zhao Hongzhang had fallen into a coma.

A soul toxin with no solution, it was clearly aimed at taking the lives of his father and uncle!

"Who on earth is so malicious, wanting to harm my father and uncle?!"

Liu Zimo's brows furrowed, and a cold killing intent overflowed from his eyes.

Yao Lingling, who had been on his shoulder all this time, couldn't help but shiver and tremble at the sight.

"It's over, Master is really angry now. Someone is in big trouble!"
