NOVPUB"Such strong Monster Qi... Pang Shengwu, as the Vice Master of the Life Extinguishing Association, is indeed extraordinary... Was it the Blade Soul that inflicted such severe damage on him?"
Xia Yanjie examined Pang Shengwu’s condition and couldn’t help but feel astonished. He could sense Pang Shengwu’s strength from the faint traces of his aura, and the fact that Su Changkong could capture him alive after inflicting such heavy injuries was even more unfathomable!
Afterward, Xia Yanjie pressed a palm against Pang Shengwu’s forehead and began to carefully sense his condition.
After a long moment, Xia Yanjie’s brows gradually furrowed.
After meditating for a while, Xia Yanjie withdrew his hand, looked up at Su Changkong, and sighed, "Brother Blade, you should give up on saving your friend."
"Why?" Su Changkong raised his eyebrows slightly. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Xia Yanjie shook his head helplessly and said, "Your friend, named Hong Zhenxiang? His situation is very bad. Pang Shengwu’s soul is tightly entangled with his, and with external forces, one can only manage to kill their souls together. If you really want to save him... the cost is too great."
"Moreover... even if you could really bring him back, he has become a monster that is neither human nor ghost. He might not be grateful to you. Once the Demon Monster’s Crystal Core has merged, it’s irreversible, and he will be gradually eroded, becoming capricious and cruelly murderous, a great calamity!"
Xia Yanjie said.
What Xia Yanjie spoke was the truth; Hong Zhenxiang had already become a demon man’s body. Even if he could truly take back control of his body, he would be gradually eroded and turn into a cruel and bloodthirsty demon man. It really wasn’t worth it to save him at such a great cost!
Su Changkong spoke calmly, "That’s my affair, and if he truly loses his original heart... I will kill him with my own hands!"
Su Changkong of course knew this point, but Hong Zhenxiang was already a demon man’s body within the Chi Dragon Hall, yet was willing to help him, which meant that Hong Zhenxiang hadn’t lost his original heart.
If Hong Zhenxiang truly fell completely, Su Changkong would have to help him find release, rather than abandon him before he lost his original heart.
"Alright..."
Xia Yanjie shook his head and didn’t persuade further.
Soon after, Xia Yanjie said with a serious expression, "There’s only one way to save him... it’s up to him alone."
"On his own?" Su Changkong was puzzled.
If Hong Zhenxiang could do it on his own, he would have already taken back control of his body!
Xia Yanjie explained, "It’s impossible to kill Pang Shengwu’s will and soul alone without harming Hong Zhenxiang. Their souls, their consciousnesses, are intertwined, consuming each other, but he’s clearly at a disadvantage... It’s only a matter of time before Pang Shengwu completely devours him."
Su Changkong nodded his head; indeed it was so. Even his Blade Soul couldn’t separate the two, but could only kill them!
Xia Yanjie continued, "However, if Hong Zhenxiang’s soul becomes stronger than Pang Shengwu’s, then Hong Zhenxiang naturally could devour Pang Shengwu’s soul and take back the control of his body!"
The souls of Pang Shengwu and Hong Zhenxiang were entangled and fighting in the Sea of Consciousness, and the loser would be devoured by the other and completely disappear from this world.
Hong Zhenxiang’s spirit and soul were weaker than those of Old Demon Pang Shengwu, who had lived for hundreds of years, and he was completely at a disadvantage.
But if Hong Zhenxiang’s soul and spirit could undergo metamorphosis and become stronger than Pang Shengwu’s, then Hong Zhenxiang would be able to, on his own strength, devour Pang Shengwu in turn!
"This Pang Shengwu must have used this method of taking over bodies many times, his soul is damaged, his Martial Arts Intent Realm has reached the pinnacle, but it is difficult to advance further. If Hong Zhenxiang’s soul can undergo metamorphosis and step into the Soul Realm, he can be almost certain to defeat Pang Shengwu... However, you should be aware how difficult this is."
Xia Yanjie clarified the key point.
This made Su Changkong’s eyes also sharpen.
For the soul to undergo metamorphosis and reach the Soul Realm is more difficult than cultivating a martial art to the pseudo Divine Skills Level.
People like Duanmu Tao, with good talent, also find it difficult to take this step.
Su Changkong was able to reshape his Blade Soul in the Ten Thousand Soul Warrior Tomb because his talent and comprehension were too abnormal!
Even if Hong Zhenxiang had this talent, his current situation made it impossible for him to tranquilly comprehend Martial Arts and allow his soul to undergo a transformation, and this was where the difficulty lay.
"There are treasures in this world that can augment the soul, but when it comes to natural treasures that involve augmenting the soul, those that can allow a person’s soul to undergo a metamorphosis, to directly step into the Soul Realm and reshape the soul, its value is so colossal, it’s second only to the Divine Seed."
Xia Yanjie said.
Treasures that augment the soul, especially those that let one step directly into the Soul Realm, are incredibly rare and precious, their value second only to the Divine Seed!
That’s why Xia Yanjie previously advised Su Changkong to give up. The difficulty was enormous, and even if Hong Zhenxiang was really saved, he was a Monster Warrior, and his complete downfall was only a matter of time. It truly wasn’t worth it!
"Does the Great Flame Royal Family have such treasures?"
Su Changkong asked Xia Yanjie.
Xia Yanjie’s face showed some difficulty as he said, "There are... but they are too precious. Even the elite disciples of our Yan family cannot enjoy them... let alone give them to a Monster Warrior. Even the current Flame Emperor would categorically refuse!"
Su Changkong could of course understand. Let alone an outsider with no kinship ties, this outsider was also a Monster Warrior. How could the Yan Imperial Family possibly give such precious treasures for his use? To put it bluntly, it would be a waste!
Su Changkong did not plan to let the Xia Yan family produce such treasures for nothing, so he said, "I am willing to trade, with Innate Qi in exchange!"
Innate Qi, a single strand of it could create an Innate Martial Artist!
