Chapter 126 - 125 Soldier Disintegration

Tie Dan was startled in his heart, realizing that this time was truly dire, completely being manipulated by Xuan Jizi.

Indeed, he had no reason to wait until seven days later to emerge. As long as his internal injuries were suppressed, he could directly perform Primordial Spirit Emergence, covering thousands of miles in an instant, easily capturing you wherever you might flee.

A Golden Core Cultivator facing a Divinity Transformation grandmaster, what chance could there be?

Then Tie Dan glanced at Zhen Baiyu, who was still snoring behind him.

Although he was a lecherous beast, he did not deliberately harm disciples. Zhen Baiyu had formed a good connection with him, at least providing a way out.

At this moment, he had nothing left to worry about, nodding his head,

"Kill if you want; I’ll settle things with you like a man, without even flinching."

Xuan Jizi chuckled,

"Little friend, why would I kill you? I still hope for your assistance to disintegrate as a soldier."

Soldier Disintegration?

Seeing Tie Dan’s puzzled expression, Xuan Jizi explained while shaking his head,

"Indeed, Soldier Disintegration. We, the Mystic Sect People, most fear karma. After finally clearing karma and escaping obstacles,

if one cannot die swiftly and cleanly, dragging on and being indecisive, it is most deadly.

All lifetime preparations would be wasted. Thus, inviting a Fellow Daoist to assist in Soldier Disintegration is necessary.

If a decisive expert can be found, to whom the remaining karma and luck can be entrusted, dying cleanly under their hand, then reincarnation would be most liberating.

Your skills, I’ve seen with my own eyes. Ruthless, cold-blooded and unfeeling—perfect to assist my Soldier Disintegration."

Tie Dan frowned,

"I see your Divine Light is full, you’re well-nourished; your lifespan hasn’t ended, nor have you enjoyed Immortal Blessing. Why are you eager to seek death?"

Xuan Jizi chuckled,

"Not only hasn’t my lifespan ended, I’ve lived quite too long.

To let you know, I am a being born of heaven and earth, a Kunlun Divine Beast, born on Shangshen Mountain, growing in the Xuanxu Realm.

Enlightened by Qingtong Immortal, serving Immortal Lord by his side, hearing three volumes of the Heavenly Book.

Three thousand years to transform form, three thousand years to attain Dao, and another three thousand years to guard the mountain for the Mystic Sect, cultivating for nine thousand cycles, achieving completion, Nine Qi Return to One, by calculation, I still have a lifespan of twenty-one thousand years."

Oh, but that’s not as long as the Kun who only reach adulthood at forty-eight thousand years old...

Tie Dan thought for a moment and guessed,

"You still have twenty thousand years to live, but every five months the cold energy reverse flows, unbearably painful, hence seeking death?"

Xuan Jizi shook his head with a smile,

"I am a born Holy Beast; how could there be True Qi reversal?

That’s me borrowing Essence Blood from disciples to conceive in my belly for seven days, birthing a Magic Embryo, a Xuanji Xuan Ying avatar.

This Xuan Ying avatar can be occupied by the Primordial Spirit and used like a split-body, but the lifespan of this method is limited, depending on the True Qi consumption, lasting only three or five months at most."

Damn, thought it was closed-door Dual Cultivation, turns out to be even more absurd, actually having disciples birth babies...

Tie Dan frowned deeply as he listened,

"Why would you play such tricks? Did they feed you poorly, neglecting you? To prank others?"

Xuan Jizi rolled his eyes,

"How could I be so petty? I’m using Xuanji Xuan Ying for Enlightenment.

If I were human, with my current abilities, I would have long since attained enlightenment and pursued Feather Transformation with Immortal Lords.

Unfortunately, I am not. I’m a demon, so in this life, I can only reach Divinity Transformation.

Due to Heavenly Dao restrictions, a demon body can never attain Dao. This was set by the Immortal Venerable when exterminating the Demon Clan.

So even if I became the founding patriarch, I’m ultimately a house-guarding beast, allowing others to ride."

Xuan Jizi was silent for a moment, looking seriously at Tie Dan.

"I want to be human."

"...So you want me to kill you, sending you for reincarnation..."

Tie Dan unexpectedly found it quite reasonable, although he didn’t know the mechanism of reincarnation, killing however...

"Alright, bring your head over here and I’ll kill you."

Xuan Jizi rolled his eyes,

"Wasn’t I previously presenting my head for you to kill? Do you have such skills now?"

Tie Dan, "...tch."

Xuan Jizi’s angle indeed seemed quite heavy, shaking his head and speaking again,

"Though you may lack the skills now, it doesn’t mean you’ll always lack them. Our fates are so deeply intertwined, I also sense that the chance to succeed lies with you, but it seems the time hasn’t yet come. Thus, I cannot let you die now."

Tie Dan hadn’t yet spoken when Xuan Jizi turned to look at Zhen Baiyu inside,

"Kill her, we can’t let the Holy Daughter survive."

Tie Dan silently raised his sword. Naturally, pointing at Xuan Jizi.

"Heh heh."

Xuan Jizi laughed,

"Young man, seeing the Holy Daughter for the first time and getting charmed is no surprise. But it’s not my first time seeing a Holy Daughter.

You think she likes you? She likes the Divine Lord!

You all are merely stepping stones, door-knockers on her path to success.

Used and discarded, don’t be foolish."

Tie Dan,

"She is not a Holy Daughter; she is Zhen Baiyu."

Xuan Jizi shook his head,

"Each of you says so, everyone thinks that the Holy Daughter they encountered is unique.

Everyone thinks she likes them personally.

But indeed, she herself thinks so too.

Believing, after awakening her past life’s memories, that who she likes won’t be some unseen shadow, but the person who has always been by her side.

After all, only by becoming deeply involved, unable to control emotions, can it become a tribulation of love.

But alas, having seen it many times, no matter the number of times or lifetimes, in the end, it’s always the last remaining one that wins, always the Holy Daughter.

Because this is what she chose, the Dao of Heartlessness.

Such a Holy Daughter, once she attains Dao, is indeed terrifying..."

Xuan Jizi turned around,

"But, never mind. You are different from those others I’ve seen, even though emotional, you understand decisiveness, not going to extremes.

So you will see the True Saintess with your own eyes; then you’ll understand what I mean.

In the future, you will know if you meet again, rather than entangling, it’s better to directly eliminate her, much more straightforward."

In the gentle white light, Xuan Jizi disappeared, while the sunlight shone into the cave.

The clouds parted, mist dispersed, and the sky was brightly lit.

Tie Dan gazed at the cave entrance, silently for a while,

"You heard everything."

Zhen Baiyu didn’t make a sound.

Hm, no sound means she’s awake...

Tie Dan checked the Daoist Collection for descriptions of the Holy Daughter...

Uh, well, it seems the Holy Daughter truly was a seductive and disastrous beauty, especially consistent with the records of the Old Xuan Sect.

In short, no one knows who the original Holy Daughter was, or her origins.

Only that she was the sole True Inheritor of the Divine Lord, and while following the Holy Master for Enlightenment, something happened, leading to her Primordial Spirit fracturing, Divine Soul scattering, and falling into reincarnation.

Thus each reincarnated Candidacy Saintess strives to awaken her past life, as well as defeating other Holy Daughters, reclaiming the scattered fragments of the Divine Soul, and finally becoming the sole True Saintess.

So, being a Holy Daughter is quite tragic too.

The Immortal Palace Xuan Sect hunts her to prevent her from becoming the True Saintess.

The Divine Sect’s Holy Daughters also hunt her in hopes of her becoming the True Saintess quickly.

Only, it’s uncertain whether it’s the Holy Daughter’s inherent luck, or the innate urge to protect a perilous beauty.

Every reincarnation, there are always foolish men willing to sacrifice their lives to safeguard the well-being of their beloved.

For every Holy Daughter, there have been innumerable foolish men who died for her.

Such a sinful woman...

Tie Dan turned to look at Zhen Baiyu,

"Don’t be afraid."

Zhen Baiyu didn’t speak, nor did she turn around.

Tie Dan took out a pot, started cooking rice in the cave, speaking as he worked,

"Even if you awaken your past life, becoming another person, it doesn’t mean you will disappear.

On the contrary, you’ll gain many new memories and meet many new friends.

Everything she experienced, you’ll experience again.

It’s like having a dream, traveling to another world, embarking on a new adventure.

Of course, you may gradually forget some things and people, but it doesn’t matter.

We walk this path, meeting, destined to part from one another.

But the important thing is, you will never be lonely again from now on.

Because even if we’re no longer here, she’ll always be with you."

Zhen Baiyu sniffed, wiped away her tears, and whispered,

"I will not forget you..."

Tie Dan smiled,

"Get up and have some porridge."
