"Supernatural power...can ignore the rules of prison"
Xu Chong looked at the two Lin Kuang in shock.
At the same time, something felt wrong the second time.
"As you can see."
One of them, Lin Kuang, nodded, "This is what was written on a strange stone I accidentally got at the bottom of the sea when I was young. The name is called Incarnation."
"Ignore the rules...why don't you run?"
Xu Chong calmed down and asked.
"Mystical powers can only be activated regardless of the rules."
Lin Kuang explained, "The separated incarnation has a complete body and is still subject to the restrictions of the prison rules... What's more, the real incarnation outside the body is not used in this way."
"What's the meaning?"
Xu Chong asked curiously.
"The external incarnation is based on the divine soul. If you want to avoid splitting the divine soul, it is best to be a disciple of Zifu and be in the Yangshen realm."
After a pause, Lin Kuang continued: "Because there is only one Yin God in the Yin God Realm, and the incarnation will also split the soul, while the Yang God Realm breeds two Yang Gods."
"Are there only two Yang gods in the Yang God realm..."
Xu Chong was stunned.
Sure enough, the deeper you hide your Zifu Tao, the better.
"In short, only a god-man in the Yangshen realm who separates an incarnation will not cause any harm to himself."
Lin Kuang added another sentence.
"damage?"
Xu Chong raised his eyebrows and looked at the two Lin Kuangs suspiciously, "I don't see any signs of injury on you..."
"It's not hurt."
Lin Kuang shook his head, raised his hand, and pushed away his other's disheveled hair, "Can you see any difference?"
"It seems...this guy needs a beating?"
Xu Chong asked thoughtfully.
Lin Kuang, whose hair was pulled away, had a very ferocious expression on his face, and his scarlet eyes were staring at Xu Chong, as if he would rush forward at any time.
"..."
Lin Kuang choked for a moment and said angrily: "I only have one Yang Shen left. After dividing it with magical powers, this incarnation inherited all my evil thoughts."
"Although the memories are the same, the result of doing so is a certain degree of loss of self."
"Think about it, your evil thoughts are gone, are you still you?"
That's true.
Xu Chong nodded in agreement.
Whether it is good or evil, it is the original intention of the human heart.
Losing any of them is equivalent to changing a person.
"More than that."
Lin Kuang said something first, and then, just like before, he made continuous seals with his hands.
After a while, the vicious Lin Kuang gradually disappeared.
After doing all this, Lin Kuangcai continued: "A clone like this with its soul split apart, once it leaves the main body for too long or too far away, it may break away from the main body's control and completely become a separate individual."
Another self, has all of his own memories, but is completely out of his control?
Xu Chong shuddered, "...This is a bit scary."
"It's scary."
Lin Kuang nodded, and then changed the topic: "But the Yang Shen clone is different. It is completely controlled by the self. There is no actual difference between the original self and the clone."
"It's like you have an extra body that can help you withstand fatal injuries and can be withdrawn into the Zi Mansion at any time."
"Like when the cave sky exploded, if I hadn't had a clone to block the disaster, I might have died at that time."
Is this so...
After listening for a long time, Xu Chong raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me this... do you want to teach me?"
"That's right."
Lin Kuang looked solemn and said: "I'm about to die, and it's impossible to pass on my magical powers to Emperor Qing. It's a pity to just take them into the soil like this... If I pass them on to you, it will give you a few more points to kill that guy."
Son of a bitch’s certainty.”
"...I would rather learn."
Xu Chong nodded and said slowly: "But did you really believe me so easily?"
"How can someone who can become the Master of Taiping believe in others so easily?"
Lin Kuang smiled and said, "It's just that firstly, I have no choice. Secondly, I can see that you are very wary of Emperor Qing."
Xu Chong raised his eyebrows: "How do you say that?"
"It should be very important for you to be able to travel unhindered in the prison to prove your identity...at least, it is very important to Dou Tianyuan."
Lin Kuang said without hesitation, "And even in this case, you still need to use the phaseless clothes to hide your face. Why?"
"...How did you figure it out?"
Xu Chong pondered for a moment without answering the question.
"If you eat fire moss as frequently as you do, the accumulation of toxins will gradually make your skin color darken or even become darker."
Lin Kuang pointed at Xu Chong, "And you didn't."
"I see……"
Xu Chong looked at his still white hands.
How could there be such a big mistake due to information asymmetry?
It's funny that I thought it was well hidden.
"In addition, it just so happened that the method I used to sneak into the capital included a Wuxiang Yi... After using it once, I knew how special the Wuxiang Yi was."
Lin Kuang said a little helplessly, "Maybe this is the one you use."
"..."
Xu Chong was slightly stunned.
I have to say, this is really possible.
Until now, he has only seen two pieces of Wu Xiang Yi.
One piece was obtained by Xie Changqing from the water ghost, and the water ghost was obtained from the third master.
Before that, it should have been in the hands of Mr. San.
And his piece of Wuxiang Clothes came from Wei Wuxie.
Wei Wuxie's real name is Duan Wuxie... he is the grandson of Duke Cheng.
It is most likely that after Lin Kuang was arrested, the imperial court rewarded Duke Cheng Guo with the captured Wuxiang Yi.
Unexpectedly, after wandering around, I met the original owner again.
"alright."
Lin Kuang clapped his hands, "It's time to teach you your magical powers."
"How to pass it on?"
Xu Chong became serious, "Do you need me to go there?"
"Need not."
Lin Kuang shook his head, "It's just a formula combined with handprints. You've already seen the fingerprints. You have to listen carefully to the formula and write it down once."
"good."
Xu Chong didn't ask why and immediately closed his eyes and listened carefully.
The next moment, twelve mysterious gray ancient syllables were blurted out by Lin Kuang.
"..."
Xu Chong opened his eyes, "I don't understand."
"It's normal, I still don't understand it."
Lin Kuang was not surprised, "As long as I can remember it."
Xu Chong thought about it again, and after confirming that the fingerprints and formulas were completely memorized, he nodded.
"That's good. You can try to practice after you get out. Unfortunately, the risk of cultivating Taoism in Zifu is too high, otherwise I would advise you..."
Lin Kuang breathed a sigh of relief. As he was speaking, his feet suddenly softened and he held on to the railings of the cage.
"Teaching the formula is very expensive?"
Xu Chong frowned and asked.
"It's a pity that that strange stone has been destroyed by me. Otherwise, you can just go find it and listen to it... If you recite the formula, one year of life will be consumed every time you recite it."
Lin Kuang smiled, "It's a magical power after all, and the price isn't too high."
"..."
Xu Chong's heart sank, "But I remember that you only have more than a year left?"
"Yeah, there's only one month left now."
Lin Kuang nodded nonchalantly, and immediately became confused, "But to be honest, logically speaking, even if I teach you my magical powers, I should still have one year left..."
One year?
Xu Chong frowned.
The third time, the third time he felt something was wrong.
After thinking for a while, Xu Chong asked: "Why can you clearly feel your longevity?"
"You haven't cultivated the Tao yet. After you cultivate the Tao, as long as there is no improvement for a long time, you will be able to sense how many years of life you have left."
Lin Kuang sighed as he spoke, "Maybe it's heaven and earth urging us to keep working hard... It's a pity that this is a prison."
The feeling that something was wrong in Xu Chong's heart became more and more intense.
So he asked again: "How did you find out that your life span was shortened by one year out of thin air?"
"Well... let me do the math."
Lin Kuang thought for a while and then spoke: "It should be twenty-three years ago, because I was busy with Taiping Dao affairs and didn't improve at all for a whole year, so I realized that I still have twenty-five years left in my life."
"Later, I broke through the Nine Transformations of Yang Shen, and this perception disappeared."
"Twenty-one years ago, I was imprisoned in prison and could not make any improvements. So a year later, that is, twenty years ago, I once again felt that my life span was long... and found that I only had twenty-one years left."
As he said this, Lin Kuang also felt something was wrong.
When he entered prison at the beginning of his life, it was the darkest time in his life, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Later, I completely recognized and accepted the status quo, and no longer cared about those one or two years of longevity.
However, upon closer inspection, there seems to be something hidden inside...
"In other words, between the time you broke through the Nine Transformations of Yang Shen and the time you were imprisoned for a year in prison, you lost one year of life out of thin air..."
Xu Chong lowered his head and murmured.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed through my mind.
Several things went wrong, and many clues were connected together, and finally a surprising conclusion was reached.
"I see!!"
Xu Chong was shocked, "Ji Qingzhi is the incarnation of Emperor Qing!!!"
"What?!"
Lin Kuang's color suddenly changed.
"Emperor Qing, no, he was still the prince at that time..."
Xu Chong's expression was ugly and his tone was extremely low, "If I guessed correctly, the person who seduced you with the Immortal Heaven is him."
"This... why is he willing to give up the Immortality Heaven?"
Lin Kuang couldn't believe it and asked: "As a prince, as long as he hides the existence of Changshengtian, he can become endlessly powerful."
"No, you don't know."
Xu Chong shook his head, "People with the bloodline of Qing Taizu cannot extend their lifespan through the rules of longevity."
"this!!!"
Lin Kuang stood stunned on the spot.
This was the first time he heard about this matter.
But he knows that this is very likely to be true...
Otherwise, I am afraid that after Changshengtian appears once, no one except the royal family will know the existence of Changshengtian.
"Moreover, he knew at that time that you were the Nine Transformations of Yangshen."
Xu Chong continued, "And I know how tempting the Immortal God and the Immortal God will be to you."
"So, he gave up the control of Changshengtian, made Changshengtian an ownerless thing, and lured me to come to the capital."
Lin Kuang laughed miserably, "Hahaha, as for why my life span has been shortened by one year, and why I don't remember it at all..."
"It's because he has long mastered a magical power that is not limited by rules,"
Xu Chong clenched his fists tightly, "That's the...bewitching magical power!"
The two of them told each other completely about what happened that year.
"Emperor Yongtai, what a great Emperor Yongtai..."
Lin Kuang's hands and feet were cold, and chills surged in his heart, "I lost unjustly!"
His strength is so terrifying, and his mind is also so terrifying.
This made him unable to feel any further unwillingness.
"No, I want to go back immediately and tell..."
Xu Chong gritted his teeth and immediately opened the cell door.
However, after taking only one step, he stopped.
Tell Dou Tianyuan and Lou Youzhi that Ji Qingzhi is the clone of Emperor Qing?
What's the use...
They had already guessed that Ji Qingzhi was a member of Emperor Qing.
In a sense, this is not much different from a clone.
Even if you don't tell them, they will still be wary.
It's meaningless just to give Ji Qingzhi an additional identity as a 'clone'.
Xu Chong was extremely depressed and returned to the cell to sit down.
The seventh level of the prison fell into silence.
After a long time, Lin Kuang sighed sadly, "I remember that Prince Qing back then was only less than forty years old, right?"
"Um?"
Xu Chong raised his head in shock.
"Being less than forty years old can make me, the Nine Transformations of the Yang God, the Taoist Master of Taiping Dao with many means, unable to have the slightest thought of resistance."
Lin Kuang was in despair, "How strong has he become in the past twenty years?"
"No matter how strong you are, how strong can you be...all three paths have reached the top?"
Xu Chong's mood sank again.
If he reaches the top after three attempts, even if he has a control panel, it will take him at least ten years to catch up.
And it was more than ten years in prison.
"No, it's impossible."
Lin Kuang categorically rejected, "I don't know about Yuchi and Huang Ting, but his Zifu cultivation is definitely not that fast."
"Why?"
Xu Chong was puzzled.
"It's also a rumor about the Immortal God, 'Soul Worship'."
Lin Kuang explained, "It is rumored that when the Zifu Zhongdao is about to reach its third great state, the souls of all living beings will worship a certain existence."
"This rumor... is a bit exaggerated."
Xu Chong shook his head secretly.
"I used to think it was an exaggeration. Until about ten months ago, I was clearly in prison and the Zi Mansion was banned, but I could clearly feel a tremor in my soul... If it was just me, it would be fine. At that time, everyone here
The other two people had the same reaction as me."
Lin Kuang thought for a while and said: "It should have been the night three hundred and twenty days ago... In other words, even if Emperor Yongtai has hope of breaking through the Immortal God, it is less than a year from now, and it is impossible to reach the Immortal God.
The Ninth Transformation of God.”
"Three hundred and twenty days ago, at night?"
Xu Chong counted the numbers and was suddenly surprised.
Isn't that the day when I successfully cultivate the Tao?
Could it be said that the soul worship was created by oneself?
"What's wrong?"
Lin Kuang asked curiously, "You seem to have thought of something."
"Uh...if the calculation is correct."
Xu Chong hesitated for a moment and said, "That day happened to be the day when I succeeded in cultivating the Tao."
"Did you succeed in cultivating the Tao?"
Lin Kuang didn't understand it at first, but he soon realized it and his eyes suddenly widened: "Are you from Zifu?!"
"Yes."
Xu Chong nodded, "In addition, I also have the rules of immortality, but they require a lot of spiritual energy to be repaired and have no effect at all."
"?????"
Lin Kuang froze completely, raised his hand bit by bit, and took out his ear: "You say it again?"
"I said, the rules of immortality are with me."
Xu Chong repeated it again.
This was the only time he took the initiative to reveal the rules of immortality to others.
But he wasn't worried about anything.
Because Lin Kuang is dying.
Also because of the current seventh level of prison, he has absolute control.
"The rules of immortality...the worship of souls...is this God's will, is this God's will?!"
Lin Kuang began to pace in the cell, mumbling to himself, crying and laughing.
"..."
Xu Chong was speechless for a while, "My cultivation time is too short. It is very likely that Emperor Yongtai will die of old age before I can transcend..."
Although Emperor Yongtai is suspected of extending his life through natural disasters, there must be a limit to this life extension.
Otherwise, Emperor Wenchang was also doing this kind of thing, so why did he still die?
Emperor Yongtai may not be able to survive ten years.
If it weren't for the further back, Emperor Yongtai would definitely become crazier. Waiting for him to die of old age would undoubtedly be the best option.
"Death of old age?"
Lin Kuang stopped, with a gloomy look on his face, "I have been imprisoned for twenty years, abusing the vision of Taiping Dao... dying of old age, isn't it too easy for him?"
"Yes, this is too cheap for him."
Xu Chong sighed.
"No!"
Lin Kuang looked at Xu Chong fiercely, with an extremely sharp light in his eyes, "There is still a way!"
"What can I do?"
Xu Chong was stunned.
"Middle-grade Cave Heaven, Spring and Autumn Tombs!"
Lin Kuang slowly uttered a few words.
Middle grade cave?
Xu Chong suddenly became solemn, "What are the rules?"
"The stars change."
Lin Kuang narrowed his eyes, "One hundred years in the cave, one year outside."
"Where?"
Xu Chong stood up.
"The Fang family of Taiping Road, the direct lineage clan."
Lin Kuang continued, "When I was the Taoist master, the Lin Fang family was in a fierce quarrel. I killed several direct descendants."
"this……"
Xu Chong frowned, "As you said, the three major families are the oldest existences in Taiping Dao. If you want to sneak in, even if you have Xiangyi, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
"Indeed, this is not an easy thing...but you have met me now."
The corners of Lin Kuang's mouth slowly raised, "If I guess correctly, although Wu Xiangyi cannot change the false image in the prison, there is still no problem in absorbing corpses to create false images."
"You mean..."
Xu Chong's eyes became incomprehensible.
"After I die, you use the phaseless clothes to create a false appearance of my body, and then..."
Lin Kuang continued talking, and in a short period of time, he proposed several different methods.
His tone was extremely calm, as if he was talking about something completely unrelated to him.
Xu Chong listened silently, and did not speak until Lin Kuang finished speaking, "Now, you are no longer a scumbag."
"hehe."
Lin Kuang was extremely indifferent, "If I can survive, I will naturally cherish my life very much, but if I am destined to die and am just a skin, what's the big deal."
"In that case, I accept your love."
Xu Chong looked at Lin Kuang deeply, "Do you have any regrets?"
"It's a pity that there are a lot of them."
Lin Kuang laughed loudly, "For example, kill Emperor Qing, overthrow Daqing, find Baicao Garden, and marry a hundred wives..."
"besides."
After laughing for a while, Lin Kuang's expression darkened: "If there is peace and justice, there will be no suffering in the world."
"I will remember."
Xu Chong nodded seriously, "If it cannot be completed, I will hand this matter over to the next person."
"readily!"
Lin Kuang clapped his hands.
Next, the two of them stopped chatting.
Lin Kuang carefully recalled everything he knew and everyone he knew, speaking out without reservation to create a perfect identity for Xu Chong as the 'Taoist Master of Taiping Dao'.
Time passes carelessly.
One month later.
"I'm going to die."
Lin Kuang smiled weakly and looked at Xu Chong who was very close at hand, "Speed up a little bit, don't let my body be snatched by the fire moss."
"Don't worry."
Xu Chong also smiled and said, "I got an excellent piece of writing by chance and give it to you."
"oh?"
Lin Kuang's eyes instantly brightened, and there was a hint of color on his face.
It turns out that warriors also have flashbacks.
Xu Chong opened his mouth and chanted softly.
"Don't listen to the sound of beating leaves in the forest, why not just scream and walk slowly."
"The bamboo stick and mango shoes can beat the horse easily. Who is afraid? A raincoat can be used for life."
"The steep spring breeze blows away the drunkenness, it's slightly cold, but the mountain tops are shining slantingly."
"Looking back to the desolate place where I came from, there was no wind or rain or sunshine when I returned."
