Mysterious mirror hanging high

"What is this person's level of cultivation?"

Qiu Xuandong's face was filled with despair. "He clearly doesn't reveal any spiritual pressure at all, and appears to be just an ordinary person. Yet, why do I feel like I'm facing an infinitely large statue... It makes me feel insignificant."

What Jing Yu was visualizing was naturally the [Nine-Life Taoist Lord].

However, at this moment, this Taoist Lord, whose name was known throughout the heavens and the infinite time and space, had his eyes closed tightly, and looked unconscious, as if he had no intelligence at all. He seemed to be just an ordinary statue, but because his status was too high, people could not help but bow down to him in worship.

Previously, Jing Yu used this secret method of divine consciousness to form a pill. At that time, his divine consciousness had only reached the perfect foundation and could still support him for a few breaths. Now that he has reached the Nascent Soul stage, his divine consciousness is tens of millions times stronger and more powerful than when he was forming a pill. Naturally, he can support him for a long time.

But he was worried because the Nine-Life Taoist Lord he visualized was really just an illusion and did not respond at all!

"What's going on? Why didn't the lord respond? Did something happen..."

Jing Yu, who had originally pinned his hopes on Jiu Ming, felt his heart sink to the bottom of the valley, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he pretended to be calm and composed, and even had the time to flirt with Qiu Xuandong in front of him:

"Senior Xuandong, I told you long ago that I have someone above me, but you refused to believe me. Now that you have offended my master, I'm afraid your life is in danger."

Qiu Xuandong shuddered, and bravely looked up at the nearly perfect statue of the goddess behind Jing Yu's head. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but his tone softened.

"You truly are blind to the true power... May I ask, my friend, is your master... a cultivator from the upper realm?"

Jing Yu smiled leisurely and said, "What do you think?"

Qiu Xuandong seemed to gradually adapt to the oppressive feeling brought by the Nine-Life Daojun statue. His back gradually straightened, and he took a few deep breaths and said slowly:

"I never thought that you are the root of the [Ascension Sect]."

The [Ascension Sect] mentioned by Qiu Xuandong is different from the [Spiritual Transformation Sect]. The latter refers only to the sects that currently have a Spiritual Transformation Heavenly Monarch, or have been confirmed to have a Spiritual Transformation cultivator in charge.

The former, however, is a Taoist tradition in which cultivators once successfully ascended to heaven, and it is confirmed that there are still elders practicing in the fairy world.

Such a Taoist tradition is still connected with the ancestors in the upper realm, and from time to time they can receive treasures and spiritual resources sent by the ancestors in the upper realm. They have stood firm through the ups and downs of the Xianzhou Realm over the years. [Penglai Holy Land] is one of them.

Jing Yu didn't deny it, but smiled and said, "Since the senior knows my background, I should retreat, so as to avoid being troubled by my family when I ascend to the upper realm in the future."

When Qiu Xuandong heard the word "ascension", his entire face seemed to twist, and he showed a tendency to madness again. He gritted his teeth and said:

"Ascending... How can it be that easy! As long as Qiu Dongxuan is not dead... There is no way I can ascend!"

Jing Yu frowned. He sensed something amiss in the words of the demon fetus clone in front of him: "Senior, aren't you the incarnation of Dongxuan Tianjun? Why…"

Qiu Xuandong's expression gradually returned to normal. He glanced at Jing Yu calmly and grinned:

"It's okay to tell you. Aren't you curious about why I appeared in [Futu Xianzhou]?"

"Qiu Dongxuan cultivated with the help of the [Gentu Dongxuan Spiritual Cultivation Formation], and although he nearly achieved immortality, he was still bound by the earth veins. Even though he had reached the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, he was still unable to ascend."

"In order to ascend, he made a deal with Xiao Guanying."

Qiu Xuandong said calmly, "Two methods. He prepared two methods to try to ascend..."

"The first method is to capture as many earth-type cultivators as possible and cultivate the [Gen Tu Dong Xuan Pei Ling Bao Zhen] within the territory of Penglai Xianzhou to connect the earth veins."

"As long as there are enough cultivators connected to the earth veins... Qiu Dongxuan is confident that he can gather the strength of all cultivators, uproot the entire Penglai Immortal Continent, and ascend with it!"

Jing Yu was shocked and stunned by this crazy plan for a moment. After a while, he slowly came to his senses and asked hurriedly:

"Isn't that impossible? Ascending with the entire Immortal Continent? Not to mention how many earth-type cultivators would need to connect the earth veins and work together to achieve this. Even if he really succeeded... if his cultivation level is not at the Nascent Soul stage, he can't even pass the Nine Heavens Gale Layer, let alone the space passage that only Divine Transformation cultivators are qualified to enter!"

"Those cultivators who helped him ascend to heaven all died in the end... Who would be willing to risk their lives for Qiu Dongxuan like this?"

A strange look flashed across Qiu Xuandong's face. "After cultivating the [Gen Tu Dong Xuan Spiritual Cultivation Formation], life and death will no longer be in my own hands. Qiu Dongxuan has plenty of ways to control and coerce those earth-type cultivators. So what if I die in the future? It's better than dying now!"

Jing Yu always felt that this method was a bit far-fetched. Moreover, if Qiu Dongxuan ascended with the entire Penglai Fairyland, even if Xiao Guanying unified the [Five Seas and Four Continents], a large part of his own territory would be lost. Could the Emperor of Heaven, who intended to reshape the system, just watch this?

He felt that this was more like an idea that Xiao Guanying came up with on the spur of the moment in order to stabilize Qiu Dongxuan. It was almost impossible to accomplish and was nothing more than a wish.

I'm afraid the only truly feasible method is the second one.

So Jing Yu asked, "What about the second method?"

Qiu Xuandong said coldly: "The second method is to let Qiu Dongxuan practice [Withering and Flourishing Reverse Transformation into Demonic Embryo]."

"This method of incarnation is very different from the ordinary incarnation secrets. The clones created can slowly cultivate on their own, ascending to higher realms, and possess precious growth potential."

"Furthermore, this clone is not bound by the earth veins of Penglai Immortal Continent...Qiu Dongxuan possesses the extraordinary skill of [Transferring Souls], which can exchange bodies with his own soul, reversing the order of priority."

"When the time is right, Qiu Dongxuan will only need to transfer his mind and soul with the demon fetus clone, and exchange bodies... Once the demon fetus clone becomes the original body, he can then split his body and ascend to the upper realm! Isn't that wonderful?"

"And the original deity has become an incarnation, bound to the Penglai Immortal Continent. Whether he is dead or alive, what does it matter?"

Jing Yu was stunned. "Is there such a miraculous feat in this world? If the original body and the clone can really exchange souls... then Qiu Dongxuan really has some hope of escaping and ascending to heaven!"

"That's right." Qiu Xuandong smiled deeply and said, "It was very promising, but unfortunately... Qiu Dongxuan didn't think of it."

“No, perhaps even Xiao Guanying, who provided the [Ku Rong Reversed Transformation Demon Embryo], and even his master [Ku Rong Demon Lord], didn’t expect…”

"This mysterious and miraculous skill, renowned throughout the Immortal Continent, is not as simple as it appears..."

"Ku Rong reverses and transforms into a demon fetus. There is a problem!"
