Chapter 95: Discussing the Risks of Master Tang Qi Turning into a Dog
Qian Miaoyu woke up suddenly, completely drenched in sweat.
“Guest Senior…”
She murmured to herself, pressing her hands against her left ribcage.
The dragon robe was lifted, revealing a dragon-like tattoo on her snowy white skin.
This was both a form of protection and a curse.
In the past, whenever the dragon vein acted up, Qian Miaoyu would feel a searing pain in her heart.
But this time, she felt an incredible coolness in that area, something she hadn’t experienced in years.
“Guest Senior… Only you can calm my heart. No matter what, I must secure you!”
She extended her slender palm, then slowly tightened her grip, as if grasping something of great importance.
“Do you really think this Empress is someone who does not strive for what she wants?”
“Come in.”
She called out.
The personal guards immediately filed in.
“What does Your Majesty command?”
“Bring me the Mountain and River Stabilizing Cauldron Seal.”
As soon as these words were said, everyone around trembled.
What was the Empress planning? That seal was no ordinary item.
It was said that a thousand years ago, when the Empire was first established, this seal was the empire’s treasure, embodying the hard work and merits of successive emperors, representing legitimacy and authority.
To obtain this seal was equivalent to gaining half of the Soaring Empire.
Moments later, the seal was brought forth.
As the Empress held the ornate box, ready to go out, she noticed a moon hanging high in the sky, stars twinkling, and a thick haze; it was not an ideal time for a visit.
“The night is deep… Guest Senior is probably already asleep. I can visit him another day.”
With this thought settled, the Empress continued to rest. This time she slept incredibly soundly, no more nightmares assailing her.
…
It was proven that nightmares are conserved; they do not vanish into thin air, nor do they appear from nothing, but rather shift from one person to another.
At the Fengxiang Inn, in a dilapidated room, Tang Qi let out a horrifying scream.
He woke up from his coma, his eyes bloodshot, and the first thing he did was touch his crotch.
“Still there… That’s great.”
In his relief, a fierce resentment flashed in his eyes.
He recalled Zhang Chuqiao’s slightly slender figure and realized he had almost been turned into a eunuch by her.
“You old bastard, I want to torture that bitch to death, leaving her without a burial place.”
Tang Qi’s anger festered within him; he swore he wouldn’t rest until he avenged this grudge.
“That person is very dangerous; his hidden strength is unfathomable.”
The voice of the soul body spoke gravely.
“I know that, but I want him dead; you must have a way,” he insisted, his tone filled with expectation and a hint of subtle threat.
This old ghost had an extraordinary background; there had to be hidden cards he hadn’t revealed yet.
“Sigh!”
The old ghost sighed deeply. “I originally planned to wait until you became a strong warrior in the Life-Death Realm, gathering enough vitality in your body to teach you, but I didn’t expect you to be so anxious. Is this a blessing or a curse?”
Upon hearing this, Tang Qi’s eyes suddenly lit up.
This old thing indeed had secrets stashed away.
“Stop the nonsense; take it out. I will definitely master it perfectly.”
“Alright, perhaps this is fate.”
As the elder finished speaking, an ultimate skill appeared in Tang Qi’s mind.
“Transmutation Great Law, Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Skill!”
Upon seeing the name, he couldn’t help but inhale sharply, sensing the immense power; it was exactly what he craved.
Upon careful examination, it was indeed true.
By practicing this technique, one could forcibly plunder the spiritual energy of all things for their own use and even directly seize others’ cultivation.
How heaven-defying was that!
He’d already made his plans. For those who had offended him before, he would no longer execute a massacre; instead, he intended to drain their cultivation completely, leaving them to suffer the ridicule of mortals forever!
These people included Zhou Tong, Zhang Chuqiao, and even… that Guest Senior!
Just thinking about that person made Tang Qi unable to stay calm.
Not only did he have the most detestable face in Tang Qi’s eyes, but he also dared to slap him in public—every single grievance was firmly etched in his heart.
To take revenge, one must possess absolute power.
Coincidentally, the last part of the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Skill aligned perfectly with his desires.
“Transmutation Great Law!”
His gaze flickered, deeply attracted by its content.
The Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Skill could devour everything, including himself.
If he were to drain twenty years of his own lifespan in one go, it would cause his cultivation to skyrocket terrifyingly for a whole hour.
If in the state of Transmutation Great Law, with the old ghost’s assistance, he was even confident he could jump two major realms and compete against Mo Liushu.
Finally, he had courage to confront top-tier powerhouses.
“Too bad this Transmutation Great Law can’t be used consecutively; otherwise, who would dare speak loudly in front of me!”
Tang Qi lamented, only to hear the elder’s scolding.
“Nonsense! That’s merely a last-resort survival technique and should not be used lightly unless absolutely necessary. Don’t you know that only one’s own cultivation is the true king’s way!”
“Alright, alright, I understand!”
Tang Qi said perfunctorily, not taking the elder’s words to heart.
Just an old ghost, really thought of himself as a big deal?
He once respected this soul, but after being thwarted several times, he blamed all his troubles on the elder.
It was all the old guy’s fault for not being strong enough, leading to his dignity being trampled.
In the end, this old man was just a wandering soul that relied on him to survive. As long as he didn’t help him reconstruct his body, he would forever be just a dog by his side.
As for the side effects of Transmutation Great Law, it was even more laughable—twenty years of lifespan, was that much?
For cultivators, this was merely a trifle. Besides, with the assistance of the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Skill, replenishing lost vitality was just a matter of moments.
“Knock, knock…”
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, snapping him back from his violent thoughts.
“Junior Apprentice Brother, are you there?”
Summer Hongxiu’s voice came through.
“Junior Sister, do you need something from me?”
Tang Qi peeked out from the storage room, his eyes filled with greed.
He couldn’t wait to experiment with the powers of the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Skill on her.
“Let’s get straight to the point.”
Summer Hongxiu said coldly, “Don’t you think Zhou Tong and Chen Ling’er are a bit too much?”
As soon as these words were said, even Tang Qi was taken aback.
“One is useless, and the other is a sycophant. I loathe both types of people; they are not worthy of remaining in the Jade Purity Sect.”
She spoke openly but concealed her true intentions.
She only wanted to tear apart Mo Liushu and Zhou Tong, and everything else was just a convenience.
“What do you want me to do?” Tang Qi asked.
“Very simple. I have calculated that on the day of the auction, the entire Imperial Capital will be thrown into chaos. At that time, we can join forces to clear away all obstacles.”
“On what grounds do you dare to make such a statement?”
Tang Qi was somewhat tempted but looked down on Summer Hongxiu’s cultivation, considering her a pure burden.
“As long as you listen to me, I can help you eliminate that Guest Senior. What do you think?”
Upon hearing this, Tang Qi instantly grew excited!
