#496 - The Nine Infants Method
Li Chengfeng's expression was grave: "You should have been clear-headed when they joined forces with you to set a trap against me.
Such a meticulous scheme, aimed at a mere Core Formation cultivator like myself, is enough to show how deep their machinations run. How could they easily give up on their former obsession?"
The red-clothed woman, Dai Qianmo, nodded, a resolute glint in her eyes: "It was precisely then that I realized I had to break through myself and escape the Yellow Springs Ghost Tree's constraints.
Therefore, I chose to cooperate with you. Having cooperated with Yun Zhao many times, I have never gained the upper hand. This time, I decided to trust you."
Li Chengfeng responded with a smile: "You finally understand where the difference lies. I emphasize fairness and reason in my actions, ensuring everyone benefits. But he isn't even willing to let others drink the soup."
He stepped towards the blood pool, the red-clothed woman following closely behind.
Gazing at the blood pool, the red-clothed woman, Dai Qianmo, exclaimed in admiration: "Truly a treasure! The power that this blood pool exudes is indeed astonishing."
The Great Ape King's second nascent soul, suppressed within, was now dispirited and silent, as his main nascent soul had already met with misfortune, and he himself sensed it.
With a wave of her hand, the red-clothed woman, Dai Qianmo, summoned the captured main nascent soul of the Great Ape King. His eyes were wide with rage, filled with hatred for the red-clothed woman.
Li Chengfeng chuckled and tossed the Great Ape King's main nascent soul into the blood pool: "I have ways to make him talk."
The woman, Dai Qianmo, nodded in agreement.
With a thought from Li Chengfeng, the blood-colored chains within the blood pool immediately coiled around the Great Ape King's main nascent soul, pulling it into the air above the blood pool.
Within the surging sea of blood, countless tentacles surged towards him, only to churn away the instant they were about to touch him, filling the Great Ape King with a strange sense of dread.
Only now did he realize that he had fallen into the hands of this dog thief, Li Chengfeng.
However, he did not harbor resentment towards Li Chengfeng, as Li Chengfeng was precisely the target they had schemed against, and he had already turned the tide.
What he hated was the red-clothed woman, Dai Qianmo, and that so-called brother who had once shared life and death with him. These two had actually betrayed him in concert, placing him in such a predicament.
Li Chengfeng did not give him much time to think, simply speaking coldly: "Great Ape King, I once declared that anyone who dares to scheme against me will suffer a fate worse than death, unable to enter reincarnation.
You also know that I have many methods, capable of making you beg for life and unable to seek death. Now, I will ask, and you will answer. If you conceal anything, humph…"
Having spoken, Li Chengfeng flicked his finger, and with a hum, a scarab beetle flew out—the Heaven Devouring Insect. He added: "This insect can devour divine thoughts, burrow into your body, and release toxins, causing you to endure endless soul pain. You should experience it well first."
Before his words could fade, the Heaven Devouring Insect vanished with a whoosh, instantly entering the Great Ape King's nascent soul.
Immediately after, the Great Ape King let out a miserable scream, hastily begging for mercy: "I will say whatever you ask, I beg you, stop torturing me!
I now understand that it is better to be honest and seek release than to carry secrets to the grave. Although I, the Great Ape King, am a generation of heroes, I am unwilling to suffer such humiliation and torment."
Li Chengfeng nodded in approval: "Still has some backbone. Then, what exactly is the conspiracy between you and the Fate Master, Yun Zhao? Besides targeting me, are you also targeting that red-clothed fairy? Speak now, and perhaps your pain can be lessened."
The Great Ape King sighed, no longer concealing anything, and confessed: "In truth, I have always admired the Goddess, but I have been at a loss as to what to do.
Many years ago, Yun Zhao cooperated with me, proposing to plant Yellow Springs Ghost Trees in the Burial Sea and set up formations.
I was initially unwilling to collude with him, so he tempted me with promises.
Upon first seeing the Goddess Dai Qianmo's beauty, I too could not escape the hero's downfall before beauty, and to this day, I have been unable to succeed, all because of her extraordinary strength, and the Yellow Springs Ghost Tree is even more her foundation.
Later, Yun Zhao found me, promising to help me seize the Goddess, and taught me methods to manipulate her, even gifting me a spirit tablet, hidden in my storage ring.
At this moment, this storage ring is in my hand. I carefully examined it and discovered its secret—it is actually a soul tablet."
The Great Ape King continued: "Once this soul tablet is activated, it can control the Yellow Springs Ghost Tree, causing the Goddess to fall into a coma, allowing me to do as I please.
Unfortunately, I failed to capture Li Chengfeng and instead trapped myself."
Li Chengfeng nodded upon hearing this, revealing the truth: "All of this is a conspiracy carefully planned by Yun Zhao, the Sect Leader of the Fate Sect.
No matter what his plans are, the fairy will ultimately be the victim. You should understand now that my initial search for you for cooperation was not without purpose."
The red-clothed woman, Dai Qianmo, nodded, her tone carrying a hint of relief: "Having cultivated to this point, I have some understanding of the rules of the world.
Moreover, as I was once a Fate Master, I have some knowledge of the art of fate, and I always felt that a great calamity was approaching.
Yun Zhao's appearance and the establishment of this scheme further convinced me that this was my tribulation.
I tried various methods to escape this predicament, but I was restrained by Yun Zhao, helpless.
Until I met you, I knew that you were my only hope.
Thus, we joined hands and cooperated, plotting for the future. And Crab Heaven also yearned to become the true King of the Sea Beasts. Our cooperation can be said to be a perfect match."
Upon hearing this, the Great Ape King nodded, saying: "I lost without injustice, lost to myself, conceited. Even more so because of my lust for beauty, Li Chengfeng, give me a quick death.
I have said everything I should have said, don't you want to give me a way out?"
His teasing face was full of戏谑.
Li Chengfeng responded with a smile: "Hand over the secret formula for cultivating the second nascent soul, and I can send you into reincarnation. What do you think?"
The Great Ape King looked at Li Chengfeng in disbelief, asking: "Is this true?"
Li Chengfeng smiled and said: "Absolutely no falsehood. Li Chengfeng's promises have always been as good as his word. Otherwise, how could I cooperate with others, and how could I win the trust of so many forces?"
Having spoken, Li Chengfeng flicked his finger, and a special restriction entered the Great Ape King's second nascent soul.
Immediately, that second nascent soul let out a shrill scream, pulled into the blood pool.
"I have completely destroyed your second nascent soul, and then I will send you into reincarnation.
In this way, you can live another life, and perhaps even recreate your past glory. This deal is not a loss for you."
Li Chengfeng smiled, "However, I don't have time for you to hesitate. You only have three breaths of time. After three breaths, whether it succeeds or not, it doesn't matter anymore."
The Great Ape King immediately said: "Of course, I won't miss such a good thing."
As he spoke, before Li Chengfeng could respond, with a thought, a divine thought rushed straight towards Li Chengfeng. Li Chengfeng did not dodge, accepting this divine thought into his body. Immediately, a secret method appeared in his mind.
This was not a simple method for cultivating the second nascent soul, but a more profound Nine Nascent Souls Method, capable of cultivating nine nascent souls in the dantian.
Li Chengfeng's lips curled into a smile, as this method complemented his nine great blood shadows perfectly.
Li Chengfeng was satisfied. The promise he had kept to the Great Ape King was precisely to exchange for this second nascent soul method, never expecting it to be the rare Nine Nascent Souls Method.
However, the Nine Nascent Souls Method was exceptionally profound, and with the Great Ape King's current soul state, it was difficult to comprehend its essence. Despite this, Li Chengfeng still regarded it as a treasure.
The Great Ape King was close to the Half-Step Transformation Realm, and the soul within his nascent soul was gradually transforming into an Origin Spirit.
Li Chengfeng knew that his Soul Searching Technique might not perfectly impart this method, and he was even more afraid that the other party would self-detonate his divine thought in the process, leading to all previous efforts being wasted.
This thought gave rise to a new idea, deciding to study techniques that could imprison souls and prevent self-detonation in the future.
His current cultivation was still shallow. If the opponent was only a Core Formation cultivator, he might easily invade their soul, but facing the Half-Step Transformation Realm Great Ape King, he was powerless.
