Chapter 163: The Man in the Coffin
"It's you!"
The black robe did not speak, and the voice that Zhao Feng heard came from the time and space on the other side of the golden eyes, the voice was ethereal, cold and indifferent, like a god who looked down on the common people, high above, without the slightest pity.
Even if there is surprise, it is only for a moment.
"Hah, old friend, to meet on such an occasion is really a trick! If it were you, it would be no wonder that you could come here...... In the main hall of the Imperial Mausoleum in Kyushu, I have set up a limited psychedelic array, but whenever a living person breaks into it, it will definitely trigger the formation and fall into the illusion, only by abandoning the beloved in the illusion can the potential mechanism be triggered, so that this side chamber will appear. β
"I did sense that someone had triggered a potential mechanism not long ago, and the secondary body woke up from a long slumber, but you are not the one who triggered it...... I was skeptical, but now it seems that everything makes sense......"
The black robe closed his eyes again, and said with a smile on his face, as if he was catching up with an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
Zhao Feng was puzzled, he didn't think that the black robe in front of him and the person at the end of his eyes would make a ridiculous act of "recognizing the wrong person", maybe there was indeed some secret in himself?
"Let's get down to business, although Dongfang Xu has failed to assassinate you seven times, I guess he won't give up easily" Zhao Feng avoided the topic ......about himself.
"Huh...... These are the things you should know...... That's right, Dongfang Xu is not a person who easily accepts his fate, he knows that my target is Dongfang Shuo, and even guessed that I want to destroy Yongxu Kingdom in order to get rid of my promise to Yongxu Kingdom, the first king, but he also knows very well that after the seventh assassination fails, I will not give him another chance, so he proposed two deals to me. The black robe's tone became more relaxed.
"Dongfang Xu's first transaction: He promised to destroy Yongxu Kingdom on my behalf, but I had to teach him a secret book of cultivating truth, which I accepted, but I knew very well that with Dongfang Xu's qualifications, once he was taught the cultivation method, it would be tantamount to raising a tiger, so I put out all the cheats except for the exercises and let him choose by himself, and in the end, he chose the puppeteer's technique "Soul Casting and Refining". β
Zhao Feng was secretly shocked: The art of soul casting and soul refining, isn't that the core technique of the sixth memory gate in the Demon Memory Inheritance?
"Is there some kind of connection between the demon and the emperor? Even, because I inherited everything from the demon, I was mistaken for someone by the black robe in front of me? Or is it just a coincidence?"
The black robe didn't notice Zhao Feng's psychological changes, and continued to tell himself:
"The casting of the sixty-three golden swords is completely a half-casting and half-puppet method developed by Dongfang Xu on the basis of "Soul Casting and Refining Spirit", and in order to enhance the resentment of the sacrificed and enhance the power, he decided to sacrifice his own heir. β
"Dongfang Xu's second transaction: He believes that his qualifications are not below Dongfang Shuo, so he promises to destroy other countries in the Kyushu Continent to prove his qualifications, and once he proves that his qualifications are better than Dongfang Shuo, I must give up taking Dongfang Shuo and take his body instead. β
"After Dongfang Xu personally destroyed Yongxu Kingdom, I could have directly taken away Dongfang Shuo, and then escaped from the world to cultivate, but Dongfang Xu's obsession was really moving, and I was also curious about how far he could go with a mortal body, so I imprisoned Dongfang Shuo and paid attention to Dongfang Xu's every move......"
"A year after Yongxu destroyed the country, Dongfang Xu's sixty-third son, that is, the son born to him and Dongfang Hotaru, Dongfang Hate, Dongfang Hate finally reached the age of two and met the conditions for sacrifice. β
"Dongfang Xu originally wanted to retreat and forge a sword, but when the Eighty-One Nations Alliance heard the news and sent troops, the imperial dynasty had to passively respond to the battle, and the result was a big defeat!"
The black robe suddenly laughed again, and explained: "It's funny to get up, Dongfang Xu surrendered after his defeat, hoping that the coalition army could give him a period of time to serve his subjects, and it was the eighty-one alliance that proposed to give him sixty-three years. β
"Although I taught Dongfang Xu's swordsmanship on that stele, in fact, the so-called method of concealing the sword was a sword cultivation method created by himself with his understanding, and after seeing Dongfang Xu's battle with one enemy against one million, I knew that with the limited strength of the Yellow Order at that time, I could no longer match him. β
"I can't beat it head-on, so I took advantage of the grievances accumulated in the Prison King's Pavilion to curse Dongfang Xu, and Dongfang Xu was already in a trance after destroying the eighty-one countries, and even refined the seventy-two concubines into puppets with the method of soul casting and soul refining, and the curse easily made him fall into madness, and when the time was ripe, I used magic to control Dongfang Shuo's consciousness, so that he infiltrated the imperial dynasty and assassinated the crazy Dongfang Xu, and finally succeeded. β
"Later, I still took Dongfang Shuo's physical body, with the help of his spirit body to break through the shackles, the secondary body consciousness finally broke through the boundaries of time and space, and returned to the body, and Dongfang Shuo's physical body could not follow the consciousness to leave, so I was left in the coffin of the Kyushu Imperial Mausoleum, as for the secondary body consciousness you saw, it is hoped to leave some unique techniques here and teach them to the latecomers, but now it seems that ...... It's you who came here, and I'm afraid these spells of mine won't be able to get into your eyes. The black robe said that, he shook his head with a wry smile, and ended the story of the history of the imperial dynasty.
Zhao Feng thought about the black-robed old man with his eyes, according to the latter's account, the information he had collected along the way had been explained, and it seemed to be perfect without flaws.
"You're still trying to deceive me......"
Zhao Feng sneered, subconsciously took a half step back, made a move to deal with attack and defense at any time, and said: "The formation in your hall is a psychedelic formation? That's right, its framework is indeed a psychedelic effect, but its core is a demon array!"
"You use the psychedelic formation as bait to implant a demon-seeding array in the illusion, and any choice that the entrant makes in the illusion will turn into a demon and plant it in his heart!"
"According to your method, only those who have given up the most important things in their hearts can trigger the potential mechanism, and for the Demon Cultivation Array, giving up the most important things in the heart means completely surrendering their hearts to the Demon Seed, and this kind of person is the easiest and most suitable target to be taken away......
"The formation you set up in the main hall is to screen and seize targets!"
"If you still need to take away your target now, then it means that you haven't taken Dongfang Shuo's body like you did! I'm afraid it's because of ...... Dongfang Shuo and Dongfang Xu's battle, the result is that Dongfang Shuo lost, right?"
"The oath of a cultivator must not be violated! The more profound the cultivator, the more so!"
"Since you have cultivated to the realm where the secondary body can cross time and space, naturally you will not easily break the oath you made!"
"So, you want to destroy the Yongxu Kingdom!"
"So, you can't take away Dongfang Shuo!"
Zhao Feng pointed to the coffin under the black robe seat with the creation in his handββ
"In this way, the person in the coffin must be the last body of your subbody!"
