Chapter 172: Damn Humans, Don’t Even Think About Taking My Body
Before dawn, Li Qian returned to the Time Bell Pavilion.
Dong!
A clear and resounding bell sound rang out.
It was disciple Chai Shao ringing the bell.
The little white fox in his arms seemed to be awakened by the bell sound, its little head poked out, and its small eyes opened, curiously looking around.
Several disciples were all in cultivation.
Li Qian entered the bell tower, took the little white fox out of his arms, took out a Nourishing Pill, scraped some of the medicinal powder into the water, and then used True Qi to wrap it up and send it into the little white fox’s mouth.
The little white fox sucked and swallowed.
After eating, it closed its eyes and fell asleep.
Li Qian took a basket, padded it with clothing, and made a nest for it.
Then, Li Qian sat cross-legged, took out a Demon Stone, and began to absorb the energy within to enhance his Blood and Qi Sanctuary.
Since he had quite a few Demon Stones on hand, he tried to have his eldest disciple, Chai Shao, absorb the Demon Stones to cultivate the Immaculate Holy Body further.
However, Chai Shao’s progress was very slow.
Mainly, the pain generated from absorbing demonic energy into the body was too intense.
Even though Chai Shao had a tenacious character, he still couldn’t bear it.
Moreover, after the damage to the body caused by absorbing and refining demonic energy, he could only slowly nurture and recover, which led to Chai Shao’s very slow cultivation speed.
At this speed, it was simply impossible to cultivate the Immaculate Holy Body.
But this was also normal. The main reason Li Qian was able to endure such pain and eventually succeed in cultivation was because of the Time Bell.
The Time Bell could alleviate pain and restore the damaged body. Chai Shao didn’t have such conditions.
Judging from the reactions of those Demon Sages, the Blood and Qi Sanctuary was specifically designed to counter the Demon Race. Even outside, it should be extremely rare, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been so surprised.
Huff!
After a round of cultivation, Li Qian opened his eyes and suddenly looked at the little demon fox that was sleeping soundly, a thought flashing through his mind.
He was a little worried that the demonic consciousness within this little white fox had not dissipated.
This was a hidden danger.
The best way was to directly destroy it, once and for all.
But the No Light Level Talent made Li Qian feel that destroying it directly would be too wasteful, and it could be put to good use.
“Perhaps, I can refine this little white fox into a permanent Blood Puppet.”
Li Qian stroked his chin.
Every time the second stage of the Blood and Qi Sanctuary improved a little, it could transform a Blood Puppet.
These Blood Puppets were temporary in nature, and would collapse after a long time.
However, this didn’t mean that Blood Puppets couldn’t be refined into permanent ones.
It just required Li Qian to inject a strand of his own Primordial Spirit power.
Once the Blood Puppet died, this strand of his Primordial Spirit power would collapse, which would have a very big impact on him. It would be equivalent to the collapse of a Demon Sage’s Myriad Images Demonic Consciousness, which would also affect the main body.
However, this little white fox had a No Light Level Talent. Once refined into a permanent Blood Puppet, it would not affect its enormous growth potential.
To be honest, if he didn’t refine the little white fox into a Blood Puppet, he wouldn’t know how to deal with it.
Could he just raise it?
If this little white fox harbored a demonic consciousness, it would be a huge hidden danger once it grew up.
Those not of my kind, their hearts must be different.
This was Li Qian’s consistent philosophy.
Whether in his previous life or this one, it was the same.
And because of this, he had not chosen to enlighten Little Black.
He could tolerate Little Black being an exotic bird, growing stronger, and even tolerate Little Black having the wild nature of an animal. It didn’t matter if it was disobedient sometimes.
But if it became like a demon, possessing self-awareness, then it would be different.
Therefore, he would not allow this little white fox to grow up and become a demon.
The best way to deal with it was to refine it into a Blood Puppet, thereby maximizing the benefits and not wasting this No Light Level peerless talent.
“Next, it depends on whether any more Demon Puppets come out to act.”
Li Qian thought to himself.
As long as there were still Demon Puppets coming out to act, it meant that the fox demon’s demonic consciousness had not completely disappeared.
If all the Demon Puppets disappeared, then the only remaining demonic consciousness might be this little white fox.
No matter what, he would definitely refine the little white fox into a Blood Puppet in the end.
Time passed day by day.
Li Qian had been paying attention to the situation outside.
There were no reports of Demon Puppets causing trouble.
All the Demon Puppets seemed to have vanished all of a sudden.
Qinxin City.
This place had long since become a ruin, uninhabited.
Under the sunlight, it was exceptionally desolate, with rotting corpses everywhere.
At this moment, several figures arrived at the giant pit in the center.
Besides the six Celestial Image Level Celestial Beings from within Great Chang, there was also a female Daoist wearing a large red Daoist robe. Her hair was not tied up in a Daoist bun, but was instead let down, with a faint red hue.
The six Celestial Image Level Celestial Beings were extremely respectful in front of this female Daoist.
This female Daoist was a top-tier Celestial Image Level Celestial Being within the Dao Sect, and her background was extremely strong. She was the daughter of a certain Great Sage.
“Senior Sister Hongyun, that mysterious Martial Saint had a great battle with the demon inside, which eventually led to the collapse of the grand formation. The entire city was almost razed to the ground, leaving only this giant pit. Since then, the demon’s traces have disappeared, and that mysterious Martial Saint has never appeared again.”
Daoist Donkey said.
He and several fellow Daoists had speculated that the mysterious Martial Saint had likely perished together with the demon in Qinxin City.
Otherwise, after that battle, there wouldn’t be no movement at all.
Moreover, how could an ordinary Martial Saint come out unscathed after facing a legendary demon?
“Even if this Martial Saint didn’t fall, he must have been severely injured by the demon.”
Daoist Hongyun said in a deep voice, “However, the fact that this demon hasn’t made a move doesn’t mean it has been eliminated. It should have just recovered and was temporarily suppressed by that Martial Saint. This can be considered as buying some time for my Dao Sect.”
“Senior Sister Hongyun, what should we do next?”
Daoist Donkey asked.
◈◈◈
“Wait, and also pay close attention to the movements of all Demon Puppets. We must take advantage of the fact that the demon hasn’t completely recovered and do our best to eliminate them.”
Daoist Hongyun shook her head.
She didn’t know how the higher-ups would decide.
The main reason she was sent in was to understand the actual situation.
Without many Martial Saints, it was almost impossible to completely obliterate a demon.
Now that demons had appeared in the Mortal Realm, it was very troublesome for the Martial Alliance.
If they allowed the demons to run rampant in the Mortal Realm, once they grew to an uncontrollable level, the entire Mortal Realm would turn into a Demon Domain.
But if they closed the barrier of the Mortal Realm, they would have to bear the enormous pressure from the Demon Race.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
The Mortal Realm was very calm, and no Demon Puppets had appeared, which made that Celestial Being Hongyun and several Celestial Image Level Celestial Beings very puzzled.
Under normal circumstances, even if the demon was suppressed and had not completely recovered, it would still control the Demon Puppets to move around, devour souls, and restore its demonic consciousness. But it had been so long, and there was no movement at all.
Time Bell Pavilion.
During this half year, he had been ringing the bell and cultivating every day, observing the little white fox, and had not found anything unusual.
But the more normal it was, the more abnormal it seemed.
Therefore, Li Qian had decided to refine the little white fox into a Blood Puppet.
During this half year, he had kept the little white fox by his side and had not allowed anyone to come into contact with it.
After all, he had to prevent the demonic consciousness on the little white fox from transferring to others.
Late at night.
Above the Time Bell Pavilion.
Li Qian held the little white fox in his hands.
This little white fox had grown a little larger and looked very intelligent.
Suddenly, his figure moved, and he came to the bottom of the Time Bell, then his figure slowly floated up and entered the interior of the Time Bell.
At this moment, the Time Bell emitted a faint glow, and the powerful Time Bell Domain had completely sealed off the space inside the Time Bell.
In this way, even if the demonic consciousness that might exist within the little white fox erupted, it could be sealed off by the Time Bell Domain and would not spill out, affecting the people of the Time Bell Pavilion and the Divine Sword Sect.
In fact, there were still risks.
But he couldn’t think of any place that was safer and more reliable than inside the Time Bell.
Li Qian took a deep breath, looked at the little white fox whose eyes were rolling, and then closed his eyes.
The next moment, a golden flame-like Blood and Qi Sanctuary was released from his body, filling the entire space inside the Time Bell, as if it were in a burning flame.
The little white fox, which was in the Blood and Qi Sanctuary, became restless.
It squeaked.
Suddenly, the Blood and Qi Deprivation and Blood and Qi Spiritualization characteristics of the Blood and Qi Sanctuary were activated.
The little white fox screamed, and then all of its Blood and Qi was deprived. Its originally snow-white fur was instantly dyed blood-red, and a strange red shadow emerged.
This was the Blood Spirit.
Next, Li Qian was going to split off a strand of his Primordial Spirit power and merge it into the Blood Spirit.
Li Qian took a deep breath, held firm to his mind, and then forcibly split off a strand of his Primordial Spirit.
In an instant, he only felt a splitting headache, but fortunately, the bell sound in his mind rang out, alleviating this soul-splitting pain.
Huff!
He let out a long breath, forcibly concentrated his mind, and controlled that strand of Primordial Spirit power to merge into the Blood Spirit.
The moment the Primordial Spirit power entered the Blood Spirit, it immediately completed a strange fusion. Immediately after, it was as if he had an additional body, an additional sense of vision.
Swoosh!
The Blood Spirit, fused with Li Qian’s Primordial Spirit, suddenly fell into the little white fox’s body.
In an instant, a terrifying shriek was transmitted from within the little white fox’s body.
Buzz!
Inside the Time Bell, a terrifying demonic consciousness vibrated and transmitted, but it was sealed off by Li Qian’s Time Bell Domain and could not be transmitted out at all.
“Damn humans, don’t even think about taking my body!”
That demonic consciousness let out an angry roar.
“Hehe, a demon is a demon after all. I was already on guard against this move of yours. Did you really think you could deceive me?”
Li Qian sneered.
How could a powerful demon suddenly give up its long life and give birth to offspring?
There was only one possibility: this demon wanted to pull a golden cicada shedding its skin, abandon its main body, and enter a new body to break free from its confinement.
If it were an ordinary person, they might have really been deceived by this harmless-looking little white fox.
Dong, dong, dong.
The powerful Time Bell Domain began to suppress the fox demon’s demonic consciousness.
Even if the demon was a foot taller, it was useless against Li Qian, this cheat.
Gradually, the demonic consciousness was gradually suppressed, and then expelled from the little white fox’s body. Finally, the Blood Spirit controlled by Li Qian drilled into the little white fox’s body and completely merged, transforming into a true Blood Puppet.
“Damn humans…”
The fox demon’s demonic consciousness sensed this scene and was extremely angry, but there was nothing it could do. It could only watch as its body was taken over and controlled by this human.
This was a new body that it had painstakingly cultivated using its own demonic essence. It possessed a No Light Level Talent, but it was actually going to be taken by this human.
No matter how its demonic consciousness tried to break free, it was sealed off by the Time Bell Domain and could not escape at all.
The next moment, Li Qian left the interior of the Time Bell with the Blood Puppet little white fox that he had just refined.
As for the fox demon’s demonic consciousness, it could only be slowly annihilated by the Time Bell.
He looked at the little white fox he was holding in his hands, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
This time, refining the little white fox into a permanent Blood Puppet was much smoother than he had imagined.
Squeak.
The little white fox also cried out, seemingly responding to Li Qian.
Its originally innocent eyes had become deep and profound.
