Chapter 192: 4th Life: Subduing a Demon Cultivator, Rank 3 Slave Gu!_2
If it is said that Foundation Establishment and Core Formation Cultivators can still maintain a certain degree of autonomous consciousness.
Then the consciousness and soul of a Nascent Soul Strong Person have already been completely assimilated by the Insect Race, long reduced to a deformed being half-human and half-insect.
Therefore, the drawbacks of parasitic cultivation and demonic cultivation techniques are not really a secret among the upper echelons of the major powers.
But from the aura Lu Yuan revealed, he is merely a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, so how could he know about this?
"No, you are not a Parasitic Cultivator, this aura is...?!"
Gao Qi stared intently at Lu Yuan, as if he had discovered something unbelievable.
Because Lu Yuan not only did not conceal his aura, but deliberately revealed a trace of the fluctuation of an Innate Spirit Gu in front of him to gain Gao Qi's trust.
After all, Gao Qi is currently just a cripple, and his life and death are entirely in Lu Yuan's hands.
Even if he knew Lu Yuan's identity as a Gu Cultivator, he could do nothing about it.
And in this world, the Innate Spirit Gu is like a blazing sun in the darkness.
Even if Gao Qi has lost all his cultivation and his five senses are sealed, he can still clearly sense that unique, peculiar aura!
"How is this possible, you are actually a Gu Cultivator?"
Gao Qi was struck as if by thunder and could not accept this fact for a long time.
Ever since the aberration of the Heavenly Dao in this realm, the Gu Dao legacy was completely eliminated, disappearing into the river of history.
Even if someone occasionally inherited a trace of the Gu Dao legacy later, they would be swiftly obliterated by the Heavenly Dao, unable to grow.
Gu Dao is not tolerated by Heaven and Earth.
It is precisely because of this.
Many Demonic Cultivators clearly know that Spirit Gu is the nemesis of all parasites, yet in the end, they are still forced onto a path of no return.
But what did he see now?
A living Gu Cultivator?
After repeatedly scrutinizing Lu Yuan, Gao Qi finally had to accept this incredible news.
At the same time, he also wanted to know how Lu Yuan managed to survive until now?
After all, Gu Cultivators are despised by Heaven and Earth, and once they appear, they are hunted down by all Parasitic Cultivators.
Moreover, hiding one's identity is not difficult, but deceiving the Will of the Heavens is almost as difficult as ascending to heaven, and throughout the entire history of the Spirit Realm, no one has been able to do this!
"Since you are a Gu Cultivator, you must have already discovered the truth of this world."
"With your power and methods, if you are willing to join my Celestial Demon Sect, you will surely receive the attention of the Sect Leader."
"Our Celestial Demon Sect takes saving all beings as our duty, why not join hands with us to completely break free from the control of the Parasite Insect Race?"
Gao Qi kept praising himself, successfully amusing Lu Yuan.
Although Demonic Cultivators can use Secret Techniques to possess the parasites within them.
From a certain perspective, they themselves are Parasitic Cultivators, so what can they use to break free from the control of the Parasite Insect Race?
Moreover, the Possession Secret Technique of the Demon Cultivators has enormous flaws, and who knows what trouble it will cause as they cultivate to the end.
Therefore, Lu Yuan's approach to Gao Qi was not to join the Celestial Demon Sect, but to make the Celestial Demon Sect serve him.
Seeing that Lu Yuan was unmoved, Gao Qi also sighed.
He knew that what he just said could fool only fools, but which of the prodigies participating in this trial wasn't a cunning master?
Let alone the young man in front of him, who is a rare Gu Cultivator in ancient times, with methods unfathomable, able even to deceive the Will of the Heavens, how could he join the Celestial Demon Sect because of his few words?
"Demonic Cultivators, after all, are only a part of the Parasite Insect Race."
"If you are willing to help me, perhaps I can help you break free from the control of the insect race."
Lu Yuan said in a calm tone.
The reason the Parasite Insect Race is so troublesome is that they have already fused with the cultivator, forming a distorted symbiotic relationship.
Even if someone can kill the parasite, the cultivator himself cannot survive.
But Lu Yuan is different.
He possesses Heaven-defying Comprehension and is also equipped with the Gu Dao legacy, completely capable of using Spirit Gu to replace the parasite or helping Demonic Cultivators perfect the Possession Secret Technique, greatly reducing side effects.
"Help you?"
Gao Qi was somewhat moved.
If given a choice, no one wants to become a half-human, half-insect monster.
If he could stay by a Gu Cultivator's side, perhaps in the future, he really could break free from the control of the Parasite Insect Race.
However...
But as if thinking of something, he shook his head bitterly.
"It's useless, I have already been implanted with the Celestial Demon Seed, and I can never betray the sect in my life, or the demon seed will backfire, and I will bleed from all seven orifices and die."
"Celestial Demon Seed?"
Lu Yuan opened the Eye of Truth and casually glanced at him.
On the surface, Gao Qi seemed to be just an ordinary disciple of little note.
But from Lu Yuan's perspective, there was an arm-thick worm coiled around his dantian.
The worm's eyes were tightly shut, yet its features bore some resemblance to Gao Qi. Long, sticky tentacles replaced his veins and blood vessels, spreading throughout his body.
It exuded an extremely sinister aura, making one feel uncomfortable all over.
Besides this.
A bean-sized worm egg was firmly rooted between the eyebrows of the parasitic worm, continuously absorbing nutrients and energy from it.
With his heaven-defying comprehension, Lu Yuan could see at a glance that this worm egg could not only control Gao Qi's life and death but also plunder a large amount of spiritual energy from within him, thus accelerating the growth rate of the worm egg!
When this worm egg grows to a certain extent, it will break out of the shell, absorbing all the host's energy and vitality, before returning to the mother body on its own, enhancing the mother body's power!
"Your Celestial Demon Sect Leader has quite the methods, using sect disciples to cultivate demonic skills."
Lu Yuan sneered.
Indeed, crows everywhere are just as black.
Whether it's a renowned and righteous sect like the Medicine Buddha Sect, or a demonic force like the Celestial Demon Sect, they all say one thing but do another.
The only difference is that at least the renowned and righteous sects aren't as blatant about it.
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Gao Qi also fell silent.
Demon cultivators act without scruple, not caring a bit about the lives of others.
That so-called mission of taking the world's people as their responsibility and breaking free from the control of the parasite insect race was nothing more than a slogan to deceive people.
"I can help you remove the Celestial Demon Seed, but in exchange, you must work for me and never betray me for the rest of your life."
Lu Yuan said.
Gao Qi's expression changed slightly, and he fell into silence.
If anyone else had said this to him, he wouldn't believe it no matter what.
One must know that the Celestial Demon Sect Leader is a well-known divinity transformation great power, with unfathomable strength, that even many top forces in the Southern Domain are unwilling to provoke rashly.
And the Celestial Demon Technique is an ultimate skill passed down from generation to generation in the Celestial Demon Sect, only the sect leaders throughout the ages are qualified to cultivate it.
Once a disciple in the sect is implanted with the Celestial Demon Seed, unless the Celestial Demon Sect Leader voluntarily removes the restriction, even other divinity transformation great power can do nothing about it.
How could a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like Lu Yuan have any means to solve the Celestial Demon Seed in his body?
But when Gao Qi thought of Lu Yuan's identity as a Gu cultivator, a glimmer of hope arose in his heart.
Following a Gu cultivator with unlimited potential is better than staying in the Demon Sect and becoming cultivation material for the Sect Leader!
Thinking about this.
Gao Qi no longer hesitated but knelt on one knee.
"Servant, greets the Master."
But at the same time.
The worm egg parasitic on his heart seemed to perceive something, suddenly emitting a sharp, piercing worm cry.
A wave of severe pain struck, causing Gao Qi's heart to ache, breaking out in a cold sweat, nearly passing out on the spot!
"A mere worm egg dares to act recklessly?"
Lu Yuan snorted coldly, immediately urging the innate spirit Gu to emit a breath.
Upon sensing this aura.
The worm inside Gao Qi, along with the worm egg, twisted anxiously, as if sensing a strong life-and-death crisis.
No longer daring to make any rash moves, it quickly fell silent!
Afterward, Lu Yuan used the Eye of Truth, staring at the lines and dao marks on the surface of the worm egg.
Before long.
The voice of the Will of the Heavens improvement sounded in his mind.
[Your heaven-defying comprehension has successfully deduced the refining method of the Third-Turn Slave Gu by observing the dao marks of the Celestial Demon Seed!]
"Third-Turn Slave Gu, huh?"
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Lu Yuan's face.
As the name implies.
The greatest function of the Slave Gu is to control other cultivators or biological beings.
And once the Slave Gu is implanted, the other party can never break free from Lu Yuan's control.
Their life and death all lie within his single thought.
Moreover, the higher the gu insect's level, the stronger the cultivators it can control.
For example, the Third-Turn Slave Gu can only control Core Formation cultivators and below.
But if it's a Fourth-Turn Slave Gu, it's enough to enslave a Nascent Soul strong person!
