Chapter 989: Chapter 590: Foolish Choice_2 Chapter 989: Chapter 590: Foolish Choice_2 Su Jinghan let out a cold laugh and said, “Qi Tian, do you really think that your proposal can sway ? Use your brain and think about it. Emperor Jianwu and I have lived in the Imperial Family Secret Territory after leaving the Great Zhao Nation for over four hundred years. If we count the years we spent in the Great Zhao Nation, both of us are already over six hundred years old. We are rely cultivators in the Gold Core Realm, so how could we live for so many years? Apart from the lifespan extension our cultivation realm brings us, we actually consud a lot of elixirs and spiritual items that extend life. We have tried all that we could eat, and all the thods we could use; do you really think you are more capable than us, able to find elixirs and spiritual items that we haven’t tried?”
Qi Tian suddenly beca speechless. He indeed knew of so elixirs and thods to extend life, all of which ca from Master Ming Ren’s heritage. However, without exception, these thods and elixirs were extrely rare. Among the relics left by Master Ming Ren, there were only records, no actual substances. Qi Tian could have made up so lies, but in front of an old monster who had lived for over six hundred years, such lies would be too easily exposed.
Seeing that Qi Tian remained silent, Su Jinghan’s lips curled into a cold smirk as he said, “Qi Tian, don’t struggle in vain, and don’t fantasize about persuading with just a few words. I’ll tell you frankly, even if everything you’ve told is true and not a lie, I wouldn’t believe it. I have really taken a liking to your body. My current body is old, decayed, and lacks vitality; moreover, it’s incomplete. I have long wanted to discard it, but I had not found a suitable replacent until now. Then you appeared, a gift from heaven to . You are so young, and your body is whole and flawless—truly a perfect choice. Do you think I would pass up such a great opportunity in favor of elixirs that could only prolong my life by a few years or a decade? Not just I, even you would not make such a choice.”
Qi Tian still wanted to try to persuade him and said, “Eunuch Su, don’t forget that I possess secret techniques. If you are willing to follow my secret techniques, you could stimulate your potential, greatly enhance your cultivation level, and make a breakthrough to Half-step Nascent Soul, or even with great likelihood advance to the Nascent Soul Stage, becoming an existence revered by thousands. By then, your lifespan would greatly increase—that is the righteous path, far better than seizing my body.”
Su Jinghan nodded and responded, “You make sense, but I cannot trust you. I know my own situation best. Given my talent, it’s not just that I have no potential left, even if I did, it’s not sothing you could stimulate with your ager thods. To stimulate that little potential within , at least the thods of immortals are needed. Do you have them? Considering the difficulty you had even trying to stimulate Zhao Ninglu’s potential, you think you can stimulate mine? You’re deceiving ghosts. Alright, there’s no need for you to think of ways to deceive . No matter what you say, it’s all useless. I am set on seizing your body, just accept your fate.”
Having said that, Su Jinghan stopped wasting words with Qi Tian. He walked over to Qi Tian, sat down cross-legged on the ground, and then extended a hand to Qi Tian’s forehead. Afterward, his soul promptly left his body, shooting directly towards Qi Tian’s forehead, ready to break into Qi Tian’s sea of consciousness and seize his body.
Qi Tian had been on guard against Su Jinghan seizing his body and had made full preparations. He wanted to try and let Su Jinghan’s soul enter his sea of consciousness to fight for control with his own soul to see who would ultimately win or lose. But just as this thought erged, Qi Tian dismissed it.
Qi Tian knew of such things, though he had never experienced them personally. From the various texts he had collected, it was clear that possession was not an easy nor pleasant affair—for both the one attempting to seize the body and the one being seized, it’s a painful matter. Qi Tian was not a masochist; he did not want to seek out such pain unnecessarily, especially when soone else’s soul enters your body, even if ultimately victorious, destroying Su Jinghan’s soul, his own soul would undeniably suffer so damage and would need a long ti to recuperate. Living in the Eastern Capital City, where dangers lurked at every mont, where could he find such ti to waste? Moreover, there was the possibility, however small, that his soul would be annihilated by Su Jinghan’s soul, a risk Qi Tian was not willing to take. There was absolutely no need to take such a risk; to do so would be foolish.
As Su Jinghan’s soul left his body and charged towards Qi Tian, Qi Tian, who seed unable to move while trapped by the huge Spirit Force hand, finally responded. A black hole suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand, and several Transporting Whirlwinds burst forth from within the black hole. Like hungry wolves slling at, they pounced on Su Jinghan’s soul with a speed too fast to react to.
Su Jinghan, a powerhouse at the Gold Core Stage, had a soul that had weathered centuries of storms and countless trials. His spirit was abundant in force and full of might. However, at this mont, he encountered the Transporting Whirlwind, which could be considered his nesis. Su Jinghan’s soul, though invisible to these whirlwinds, instinctively sensed danger. He hurriedly sped up, lunging toward Qi Tian, who was within arm’s reach. He planned to rush into Qi Tian’s body before the danger struck, aiming to wrest for control of this young body from Qi Tian.
But Su Jinghan was unaware of just how fast the Transporting Whirlwind was, and before he could burst into Qi Tian’s body, the whirlwind surrounded him from the front, back, and sides, blocking his path in every direction and preventing him from advancing or retreating.
Su Jinghan’s soul had already sensed that danger had arrived. He increased his speed, still dreaming that he might grasp the final opportunity to break into Qi Tian’s body. But Qi Tian was no longer going to give Su Jinghan any chances.
At the thought of Qi Tian, the Transporting Whirlwind enclosing Su Jinghan’s soul sprang into action. They swirled around like lassos thrown by cowboys, entangling Su Jinghan’s limbs and neck. Then, with a fierce yank, they pulled and tore Su Jinghan’s soul apart.
Su Jinghan’s soul let out a wail, but it did not perish. He tried to reassemble his tattered soul, but the Transporting Whirlwind would not give him the chance. The whirlwinds swept up the severed pieces of his soul and funneled them back into the Heavenly Dao Engine’s storage chamber through the black hole in Qi Tian’s palm, turning Su Jinghan’s powerful soul into fuel for the Heavenly Dao Engine.
The black hole in Qi Tian’s palm remained open, and several Transporting Whirlwinds set out once again. This ti their target was the giant spirit hand that trapped Qi Tian. This hand was ford of extraordinarily solid Spirit Force and was very robust. Even if struck with a magical instrunt, it might not damage the spirit hand. However, as all things have their counters, the powerful spirit hand, from which Qi Tian could not break free despite all his efforts, began to crumble rapidly upon encountering the Transporting Whirlwind. The spirit hand was shredded by the whirlwind into chunks and then dragged into the black hole in Qi Tian’s palm to beco fuel for the Heavenly Dao Engine.
In no ti, perhaps a minute or two, the daunting spirit hand that had rendered Qi Tian unable to struggle vanished, and he regained his freedom.
Qi Tian let out a long sigh of relief. That had been a dangerously close call. If it had not been for Su Jinghan’s foolish choice to resort to soul possession instead of another thod, Qi Tian wouldn’t have escaped the bind so easily. With one misstep, he might have been done for right there and not even made it out of the doors of the Diligent Governnt Hall.
