Chapter 665: Chapter 665 The Most Fragrant Immortal_1
“The key to the problem should lie in the demonic cultivation technique called ‘Emperor Scripture’ that she initially practiced.”
Qin Changqing thought.
Emperor Scripture
These two words were the most crucial piece of information Qin Changqing obtained from the fragmented dreams of the Rain Immortal Realm’s Immortal Master.
The reason the Rain Immortal Realm’s Immortal Master initially came into contact with demonic powers was that she had obtained this rare demonic cultivation technique.
This technique claimed to fuse two types of powers, allowing one to cultivate into an emperor in one step.
Qin Changqing, however, was not clear about the specifics of the demonic cultivation technique.
But clearly, the problem lay with this particular technique.
This demonic cultivation technique inexplicably reminded Qin Changqing of some novels he had read before his transmigration.
Once cultivated to a certain degree, the being that created the cultivation technique could use it to… resurrect!
This type of resurrection wasn’t possession but instead involved completely replacing the cultivator, from the body to the soul.
Having progressed to a certain level in her cultivation, the Rain Immortal Realm’s Immortal Master discovered this and promptly stopped practicing, but it was already too late.
Therefore, the cold demeanor should be that of the true Rain Immortal Realm’s Immortal Master.
And the side that always seemed carefree and cynical… very likely, that was the resurrected Ancient Emperor!
For now, these are still guesses, but Qin Changqing felt his assumptions were probably not far off the mark.
Although the Rain Immortal Realm’s Immortal Master had succumbed to demonic influence, she still harbored a kind side.
At the same time, every time she saw Qin Changqing, she would actively shatter the illusion, acting very cold, most likely because she didn’t want Qin Changqing to get involved.
Sometimes, a person’s coldness towards you isn’t necessarily out of malice.
Just like how, before transmigration in the northwest, some wild animal doctors, after treating wild animals, had to beat them to make them understand that humans are fierce and dangerous, so these animals would not dare to approach other humans.
This wouldn’t give bad people an opportunity to harm them.
Someone smiling at you may not necessarily be a good person; someone acting fierce towards you may not necessarily be a bad person.
Initially, the Rain Immortal Realm’s Immortal Master was definitely at a disadvantage. The other party not only gained control but also took the Rain Immortal Realm into the Devil Immortal Realm in one fell swoop.
But the Rain Immortal Realm’s Immortal Master was also extraordinarily clever, committing fully to demonic influence to fight demon with demon.
Thus, she slowly regained the initiative.
Currently, both parties seem to be in a deadlock, evenly matched.
The Rain Immortal Realm’s Immortal Master wanted to utilize Qin Changqing’s method to integrate the immortal power within her, but she evidently failed.
Her other side, the resurrected Ancient Emperor, must be in only a semi-resurrected state, and wanted to know Qin Changqing’s method as well, in order to thwart the Rain Immortal Realm’s Immortal Master.
In summary, both sides are currently entangled, neither able to do much against the other.
Of course, all of this is still Qin Changqing’s speculation based on various pieces of information.
“So, if all these speculations are correct, then the key issue now should be to deal with that Ancient Emperor,”
Qin Changqing thought.
Dealing with that Ancient Emperor was not easy.
It wasn’t a matter of the other party’s strength.
Instead, the method the Ancient Emperor used to resurrect was special; now, she was akin to the other half of the Rain Immortal Realm’s Immortal Master’s soul.
The brilliance of the Ancient Emperor’s resurrection method lay in its ability to quietly and completely take over another person in full.
It was not like the crude method of possession.
After possession, the soul and body are actually not compatible, which can easily cause some issues.
But the Ancient Emperor’s method of resurrection was so ingenious that this problem did not exist.
It could totally and completely take up another person’s body and soul.
If the Rain Immortal Realm’s Immortal Master had not been powerful and vigilant in time, a Great Luo might have already been replaced by the other party.
Moreover, if Qin Changqing’s speculation were true, the method provided by the Flowers Celestial Master would be of no use.
Flowers Celestial Master wanted Qin Changqing to activate the deep-seated Life Seed within the heart of Rain Immortal Realm’s Immortal Master, so that she could regain her clarity.
However, the problem was that Rain Immortal Realm’s Immortal Master had willingly embraced demonic possession to confront the Ancient Emperor.
After detecting the issue, Rain Immortal Realm’s Immortal Master stopped, but by then, the strength of her demonic aspect had grown immensely powerful.
In other words, Ancient Emperor had seized this part of her strength and, through the Demon Barrier, caused the collapse of the balance of Rain Immortal Realm’s Immortal Master’s power, thereby gaining the upper hand and dragging Rain Immortal Realm into the Devil Immortal Realm.
The Devil Immortal Realm was indeed Ancient Emperor’s home turf.
That Devil Immortal Illusion was very likely also concocted by the Ancient Emperor.
Seeing her disadvantage grow, and unable to resolve the power imbalance, Rain Immortal Realm’s Immortal Master chose to fully succumb to the demonic influence.
After all, it was her own body and soul she used to gradually fend off the opposition.
If Qin Changqing were now to activate the Life Seed within her, it would actually disrupt her power balance.
Thus, the method proposed by Flowers Celestial Master was no longer viable.
Qin Changqing had to think of a solution himself.
Furthermore, judging from the current situation, Rain Immortal Realm’s Immortal Master did not seem to wish for Qin Changqing to get involved – every time the will of the Ancient Emperor descended upon the illusion, she would forcibly shatter it.
Even if Qin Changqing told her that he could help her, she might not trust him.
After some contemplation, Qin Changqing once again visited Bai Huatian, where he met Flowers Heavenly Fairy.
“Immortal Master, do you possess an object that could instill trust in Rain Immortal Realm’s Immortal Master at a glance upon seeing it?”
Qin Changqing asked.
“An object of trust?”
Upon hearing Qin Changqing’s words, Flowers Heavenly Fairy turned her gaze to him.
By saying so, wasn’t it implied that Qin Changqing had already found Rain Immortal Realm’s Immortal Master?
Ever since she succumbed to demonic influence, Flowers Heavenly Fairy herself did not know where she was.
“There is one,”
Suppressing her curiosity, she took out a delicate sachet.
However, the sachet was empty.
Zihe then plucked a white petal from the void, making it appear in her hand.
She placed the petal inside the sachet, sealed it, and handed it to Qin Changqing.
“This fragrance is unique to me. If you wear this sachet to meet her, she will recognize the connection between you and me,”
Flowers Heavenly Fairy stated.
Qin Changqing accepted it.
The fragrance emanating from the sachet was identical to the subtle scent that Flowers Celestial Master radiated.
It was refreshingly pleasant to the senses.
Flower Fairies must be the most fragrant of all Immortals.
Like Zihe, whose scent was intoxicating to Qin Changqing, he never grew tired of it and particularly enjoyed holding her as they slept.
In that case, was the white petal plucked by Flowers Heavenly Fairy directly from her true form?
Such a scent was unique to her.
Does it mean that among the flowers she represents, she was the only one to become an Immortal?
White petals… what flower could they be from?
“Additionally, if you encounter danger, this petal can shield you from a Semi-Saint’s strike,”
Flowers Heavenly Fairy added.
To shield from a Semi-Saint’s strike!
That meant Flowers Heavenly Fairy’s strength might very well be at the Semi-Saint level.
Semi-Saint… I wonder if it is a level above Half-Saint or a unique state that is the pinnacle of Half-Saint, on the verge of becoming a true Saint, a Celestial Saint.
