Chapter 120: External Incarnation and Cultivation Worm (Please Subscribe)
Mu Yu Restaurant, top floor, A02 Pavilion.
Chief Lei gazed down from above, witnessing the bustling crowd below and surveying the members of the Giant Whale Gang and Tusu Meeting on either side of the arena.
The gang members I once feared like tigers are now but lapdogs before me. Power, it's truly intoxicating... Chief Lei felt a surge of emotion.
Meanwhile, he glanced at the Rapid Bee Worm as if by accident, his pupils contracting slightly.
Faced with such a strange Worm creature, to say he wasn't scared would be a lie. But out of awe for Hong Yuan, he dared not show his inner fears.
What kind of Demon Beast is this, so ferocious and terrifying, like an eagle and a bee spliced together?
Chief Lei poured himself a large bowl of liquor and quickly drank it to bolster his courage.
The Phoenix Creek Sect truly deserves to be the Overlord Sect that repelled the Qinglu Taoist Temple, with a disciple possessing such eerie means.
Chief Lei didn't actually have much interest in the struggle between the two Overlord Sects, the Phoenix Creek Sect and the Qinglu Taoist Temple, as most people didn't. It was only because he was limited by his geographical location that he couldn't extricate himself from the mire.
The world could hardly be considered good nowadays, with people dying of starvation frequently in the outer city and the outlying mountain villages. Even the dens of mountain robbers were struggling to get by. Being the lackey of a powerful person, allowing his family to live without worrying about their daily meals, and even enjoying new clothes—that was something many people sought but couldn't obtain!
To think there are two boxes of pear blossom cakes, I'm really lucky. Chief Lei's eyebrows perked up, joy bubbling from his heart.
With his salary, he couldn't afford to come to Mu Yu Restaurant. If it weren't for the special task Hong Yuan had given him, he would probably have to wait another two or three years to qualify to come here, let alone monopolize a Class A pavilion on his own.
CRACK, CRACK.
Hong Yuan munched on snowy cakes while watching the images provided by the Rapid Bee Worm.
In the arena, guided by the notary, Lu Sheng and Wei Tusu bowed to each other and then pressed their handprints on a large piece of paper. The notary jumped onto the stage, delivered a short speech to the surrounding crowd, and then prepared to start the match. Although the Rapid Bee Worm couldn't pick up audio, Hong Yuan could guess the gist of what the notary said based on the content written in black and white.
"How boring. Fight, start fighting! I want to see a river of blood!" Hong Yuan spoke in the training room, his expression very dissatisfied, yet a mix of anticipation belying his discontent.
After all, he was a Martial Artist at heart. A Martial Artist must always strive to compete! However, Hong Yuan's concept of "compete" was different from the "dare to be the first in the world" ethos of most Martial Artists. His philosophy of Martial Arts carried a sense of "water does not compete to be first, but to be endless and relentless."
Under the watchful eyes of many, the fighters of the Giant Whale Gang and Tusu Meeting were about to begin their battle. The Giant Whale Gang first sent out a big man, tall and muscular with a robust stature. Armed with a large saber, he looked fierce and menacing. The crowd roared, and their fervor seemed to make even the flags flutter more rapidly.
What are they saying? Darn it, this has become a silent movie... Hong Yuan showed a look of helplessness on his face.
The Tier Two Rapid Bee Worm still had its limitations. If it were a Tier Three Worm, Hong Yuan's viewing experience would not be just a silent film, but more like live coverage at the scene.
Thinking of this, Hong Yuan took out a few Worm formulas he had obtained a few days earlier.
"Tier One White Ant Worm!"
"Tier Two Cloud Sparrow Worm!"
"Tier Two Golden Saw Centipede Worm!"
Forget it, these are just common Worms. It's better to focus on absorbing more Essence Qi to reach the peak of Tier Two. Or cultivate Talismans and Formations; that's certainly better than conjuring something out of nothing.
Hong Yuan put away the three Worm recipes with a flick of his hand and continued watching the silent film.
In the A02 Pavilion of the Mu Yu Restaurant, the Rapid Bee Worm's eyes emitted a faint purple light as it collected information from below and formed images for Hong Yuan to watch.
After the saber-wielding big man from the Giant Whale Gang appeared, the Tusu Meeting sent out an ordinary-looking young man. The crowd's expressions remained unchanged, clearly showing they did not think highly of this young man. Hong Yuan also gathered this information from the faces of the other spectators.
Wei Tusu, let me see what kind of methods you have.
Hong Yuan put down the snowflake cake he was holding, took a sip of refreshing spring water, and sat up straight. Clearly, Hong Yuan was taking Wei Tusu seriously.
The saber-wielding big man and the young man stepped onto the stage together, facing each other. The big man's mouth moved, but the young man disdained to respond, his face even breaking into a mocking smile, enraging the saber-wielder.
Damn it, just by watching these two, it's obvious they're clashing head-on, but without hearing what they're saying, my viewing experience is seriously dropping! Hong Yuan was slightly troubled.
At this moment, to enhance his own viewing experience, Hong Yuan's mind exploded with ideas.
Using Formations to create an object similar to a camera? Upgrade Worms?! Create puppets?! Make an Avatar?!
Suddenly, as if catching onto something, Hong Yuan quickly reined in his thoughts, continuously deriving.
By using my special trait of being able to refine Cultivation Worms, I can find a Cultivation Technique to create an external Incarnation from a Worm. Then the Original Body stays in the Sect, and if there's any business, I can dispatch the external Incarnation. That way, safety can be greatly increased.
CLICK! With his mind made up, Hong Yuan was overjoyed.
Perhaps this Cultivation Worm-turned Avatar isn't as powerful as the Ice Armor Python Avatar, but what I need isn't power, but a substitute that can go out in place of my Original Body. If something happens to the external Incarnation, I can simply refine another one. After all, I can refine Cultivation Worms!
It seems the problem now is to find such a Cultivation Technique that can refine a Worm into an external Incarnation. There's no rush; I have a long Life Span, so I can find it slowly.
Hong Yuan exhaled a breath of stale air, a smile on his face, and resumed watching the silent battle.
On the stage, the two continued to verbally spar, mainly with the saber-wielding big man cursing fiercely, while the young man, holding his scabbard, turned a deaf ear. Soon, with a green-robed servant striking a bronze gong, the battle was about to erupt.
Hong Yuan stared intently at the young man, trying to find some clue in his sword technique and Cultivation Technique.
The big man lifted his saber high, black True Essence covering it, forming a small Shark Essence Qi Illusion. He struck down with the force of splitting a mountain, sending a loud wind that made the young man's robes flutter.
The young man bared his teeth in a wide smile and drew his sword brazenly.
A flash of Sword Light, and the big man's expression froze; then, to the disbelief of the crowd, his head separated from his body!
That simple!? Hong Yuan's eyes widened in slight surprise.
If he hadn't seen it wrong, the True Essence flowing in the young man's hands was Silver True Essence, and his Martial Artist realm was even lower than Hong Yuan's. Although the saber-wielding big man would be no match for Hong Yuan himself, there were only a handful in Pengcheng who could easily defeat a Tier Two Martial Artist like the big man.
Damn it, this Li Ziran is so arrogant! The Sword Cultivators of the Li Family really are a bunch of insensitive bastards! Wei Tusu cursed inwardly.
