#55 - Chapter 55: Taking over the body of a substitute, wanting to look back at Jiangcheng
The moonlight was cold and the wind howled.
Chen Changsheng descended like a god or demon, splitting a corpse with a single halberd. The invincible image was deeply imprinted in everyone's mind.
Wang Lu grinned, arrows already flying from his hand in quick succession, piercing through the forest like a long rainbow, aimed directly at the enemy's vital points.
Qiu Xiangwen, deprived of the corpse puppet's protection, wore a frosty expression. Wielding the coffin as a weapon, her body stirred up a dark, eerie wind, engaging Chen Changsheng and Wang Lu in a fierce battle across the heavens and earth.
The forest undergrowth was ravaged and destroyed by the rampaging true energy, the earth trembled slightly, and the collision of spells exploded with bursts of roaring sound.
With Chen Changsheng joining the battle, he and Wang Lu formed a two-on-one pincer attack.
No matter how bizarre Qiu Xiangwen's evil arts were, they couldn't withstand the combined assault of the two. As the battle dragged on, she gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.
Just as she was about to use a Taoist escape technique, the disciples of the Slashing Moon Gate weren't idle either. They had already laid down a confinement array around the area, and chains of array formations surged from the ground, binding Qiu Xiangwen's legs.
Chen Changsheng and Wang Lu simultaneously flew down, blocking her retreat from the front and back. The surrounding disciples of the Slashing Moon Gate also gathered, wielding magical artifacts.
"Brother Wang, hold on, this person must not be killed."
Just as Wang Lu was about to kill the opponent with a sword, Chen Changsheng suddenly spoke, using his halberd to block Wang Lu's long sword.
"This person is a disciple of the Underworld Soul Sect, and his status is not low. Killing him will trigger the Underworld Soul Curse."
"You know his background?"
"Yes, I once killed a core disciple of the Underworld Soul Sect. If I'm not mistaken, this person came to take my life. Am I right?" Chen Changsheng looked at Qiu Xiangwen and said calmly.
Qiu Xiangwen's complexion was pale, a look of disdain appearing in his eyes. He said coldly, "You know quite a bit. That thing is indeed in your hands."
"Today, I've suffered a setback. My preparations weren't thorough enough. I will repay this a hundredfold in the future. Cherish your last moments, before I return, you can only eke out a living in the shadows."
Qiu Xiangwen laughed coldly, the laughter extremely strange.
Under the confused gazes of Chen Changsheng and Wang Lu, Qiu Xiangwen's pupils suddenly lost their luster, like a corpse kneeling on the ground, his pale skin and stiff expression uttering not a word.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but frown, and shone the bronze mirror towards Qiu Xiangwen.
He saw that there was no longer any true energy flowing within this person's body, nor was there any sign of life…
"He's dead!" Chen Changsheng said in a deep voice.
"Suicide? It doesn't look like he severed his meridians, and he just said he would return, which doesn't sound like someone who would commit suicide."
Wang Lu stepped forward to examine Qiu Xiangwen's physical condition, and also looked through the other party's storage ring, his confusion growing even greater.
"Something's not right. The storage ring is empty, and this guy has been dead for a long time, but he's not a corpse puppet. Brother Chen, did you detect any soul leaving the body?"
Chen Changsheng shook his head, his expression solemn. "The bronze mirror didn't detect the soul, I don't know how he escaped."
"This is really strange." Wang Lu sighed heavily, "No wonder this guy was so fearless. It's another evil cultivation technique I don't understand. He actually managed to slip away from under our noses."
Chen Changsheng pondered, "Judging from his decisive abandonment of his physical body, this body was likely just one he seized, and he didn't hesitate to discard it."
"So disgusting? He even uses corpses, does he have a special fetish?"
"Maybe the secret technique can only seize corpses?"
"That makes sense, evil cultivation techniques never follow the rules."
Listening to the conversation between the two, the disciples of the Slashing Moon Gate looked at each other, inexplicably feeling their hairs stand on end.
They were originally meditating and cultivating on the flying boat, but suddenly they came to the wilderness, and also witnessed a wonderful battle.
However, the enemy leader was suppressed, but suddenly turned into a corpse that had been dead for many days, making this wonderful battle turn anticlimactic, and also filled with an eerie color.
Doesn't that mean that the one who attacked them and almost took their lives was just a dead corpse?
"Master, the magic weapon hasn't been collected yet."
The dull-witted Miao Miao slipped to Chen Changsheng's side, tugged at his sleeve, and pointed to the stage that had lost its bright red color.
With a wave of his hand, the stage flew over and shrunk to the size of a palm. "It's not a complete loss, at least we got a magic weapon."
"This magic weapon seems to need to be used in conjunction with opera, right?"
Wang Lu touched his chin, recalling the scene on the stage. This magic weapon was indeed a bit powerful, but the conditions for using it seemed too impractical.
After a period of rest, everyone boarded the flying boat and set sail.
The previous trap made the disciples of the Slashing Moon Gate feel that they had lost face, so they are now extra cautious, their nerves in a state of tension.
Wang Lu and Chen Changsheng, on the other hand, became calmer.
The enemy won't attack when you're cautious, they usually strike when you're caught off guard, so everything went as usual on the road ahead.
"Brother Chen, your strength surprises me. You're completely unafraid of the early Foundation Establishment stage. Do you have time for a few sparring matches?"
Wang Lu held a teacup in his hand, his eyes full of admiration.
Chen Changsheng lay on the rocking chair and waved his hand, "It's just taking advantage of loopholes. Facing the real top geniuses, I wouldn't dare to be so arrogant as to think I can beat them."
He knew that his advantage lay in dual cultivation of body and magic.
Also, the cultivation techniques and spells are all top-tier, and he has high-grade magic weapons. All of these were exchanged for with chat group points, making him almost like a pay-to-win warrior.
How can ordinary cultivators come into contact with top-tier cultivation techniques, let alone easily possess high-grade magic weapons? It's quite difficult to kill enemies above your level.
If he really faced the top geniuses of the cultivation world, Chen Changsheng could only rely on his dual cultivation of body and magic to gain an advantage, so he paid great attention to improving his qi and blood and true energy, not hesitating to spend huge amounts of points to purchase corresponding cultivation techniques.
People like him who don't go out to train can save up huge amounts of points.
Other group members encounter various dangers every time they go out to train, and then spend a lot of points to escape.
Of course, under normal circumstances, Chen Changsheng wouldn't encounter top geniuses.
As top geniuses, they are either in seclusion in holy lands, or competing for opportunities in various dangerous secret realms.
Chen Changsheng wouldn't run to explore secret realms.
As for the natural treasures that can improve cultivation, he would at most glance at them if they were placed in front of him, so the probability of the two colliding is extremely low.
As for the Taiji Pan Fruit, this kind of special natural treasure still needs to be snatched.
After all, the difference in strength between perfect Foundation Establishment and ordinary Foundation Establishment will be an insurmountable mountain.
Chen Changsheng's mediocre aptitude leads to slow cultivation speed, so he must be invincible in the same realm. The stronger his combat power, the better he can protect his path to immortality.
Wang Lu sipped the tea in his cup and said with emotion, "Brother Chen, you have mediocre aptitude, but you can be comparable to the Foundation Establishment stage in the Qi Refining stage, which is quite remarkable. And you have also mastered second-grade alchemy. Once you join the Falling Moon Sect, you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."
He didn't think that Chen Changsheng could succeed in Foundation Establishment. How many people with mediocre aptitude can successfully establish their foundation?
Reaching the eighth level of Qi Refining at the age of fifty, it will take at least sixty or seventy years to cultivate to the completion of Qi Refining, having already missed the age for Foundation Establishment.
So paving the way for the second half of his life is the right path.
Chen Changsheng smiled and shook his head when he heard this, "I may not enter the Falling Moon Sect. After eliminating the Underworld Soul Curse, I want to go back to Wangjiang City to take a look."
Wang Lu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Immortals and mortals are separated. I know Brother Chen has deep feelings for Jia Yun, but she is ultimately a mortal woman and cannot accompany you for too long."
Chen Changsheng smiled without answering.
