Li Yao secretly wiped his sweat and continued reading, only to see that Yan Xinjian was carrying out his plan of possession methodically.
As time went by, Yan Xinjian's secret arts of possession became more and more brutal, and the Dream Breaking Arts became more and more perfect. Apart from the brainstorm that he had to go through when he was trying to break into the fifth level, it was indeed an unparalleled technique.
Time gradually moved to more than a hundred years ago. But the training log was abruptly cut off.
When it reappeared, it was more than half a year later.
The first training log that reappeared had only four words.
"Rats! Rats! "
The second part of the training log was written three months later. It contained an inexplicable sentence.
"There is no other way except for the last option. Thankfully, there are plenty of rats."
Li Yao swallowed and held back his temper for more than an hour before he finished reading all the training logs.
Although he was mentally prepared, he was still dumbfounded by everything that happened later. He was rendered speechless for a long time.
He glanced at the squeaking rats around him. Those animals had all tasted his toughness and did not dare approach him.
The red rat was gnashing its teeth and glaring at him brutally. Its tail was as straight as a long spear.
The green rat's eyes were rolling again and again. There was no telling what kind of scheme it was up to.
The blue rat's eyes were deep. It stared at him as if it were in the same boat, telling him the desperation that had been haunting it for five hundred years.
Li Yao sighed. He suddenly felt that Yan Xinjian was very pitiful. Truly pitiful.
No matter how many bad things he had done in the past, it was still too miserable for him to end up like this.
Li Yao imported Yan Xinjian's training log into his mini crystal processor. Then, he went to the meditation space at the bottom level of the training room with the log.
Li Yao took a deep breath and entered the deep meditation state in humming noises. (? []
All the information that he collected just now was shining brightly in his eyes. Gradually, the whole picture of the incident and the sketch of Yan Xinjian's life were sketched out.
Five hundred years ago, Yan Xinjian had been the most famous training genius of the Flying Star Sector.
He was born in the commoner class. His talents in training had been revealed since he was a child, and he was greatly nurtured by the six sects of Heavenly Saints City. He advanced into the Yuanying State when he was only a hundred years old and made remarkable contributions in the battles against space pirates. As the deputy commander of the coalition fleet of the six sects of Heavenly Saints City, he would be responsible for guarding Heavenly Saints City and the central area of the Flying Star Sector.
Back then, Yan Xinjian's rise was an out-and-out miracle. Countless commoners idolized him.
However, his journey to the top would end here.
This was because his superior was the same as him. They were both cultivation geniuses that were hard to come by in a hundred years, and they were about the same age. Their cultivations were similar, but their backgrounds were as different as heaven and earth. The other party was a descendant of an aristocratic family. His parents were both influential figures.
If there were no accidents, with the guy's Cultivation, he could at least live for another one or two hundred years. In that case, Yan Xinjian would never be able to remove the 'deputy' on his head.
It was not hard to imagine that Yan Xinjian was used to taking the lead. How depressing would it be for a top-notch genius to be someone else's assistant for hundreds of years?
A long time later, Yan Xinjian lost control of his mind. He left a lot of criticisms for his superior in his training journal. Jealousy, depression, hatred, and fury were all expressed on his face.
In Yan Xinjian's eyes, his cultivation, strength, and commanding ability were all better than the other party's. The other party was able to command the combined fleet of the six sects of Heavenly Saints City. The reason why the other party could command the superior's superior was that his background was higher than his!
When the devil appeared, it would be like a viper. Even an expert of Yuanying State would struggle for decades without being able to get rid of it.
One day, Yan Xinjian accidentally received a detailed map of the underground fortress of Spider Den, including part of the control rights of the underground fortress, which was known as the 'Spider Key'.
The responsibility of the six sects of Heavenly Saints City's fleet was to deal with space pirates. Yan Xinjian naturally knew the situation of Spider Den as well as the back of his hand. He knew that a lot of secret treasures from the Star Ocean Imperium might be stored inside the underground fortress.
If I can get my hands on the secret treasures, my Cultivation will soar to a higher level, and I will be able to surpass the noble families and the entire Flying Star Sector!
Li Yao did not know whether or not Yan Xinjian really thought so. () ()
However, he could not go treasure hunting on Spider Den alone. He had to have a powerful force.
Besides, he was the mortal enemy of the space pirates right now. Not just Spider Den, he would be riddled with holes the moment he approached the Spider Den Space Zone.
Besides, how was he going to explain this to the entire Cultivation World? Once the news spread, the treasure would no longer belong to him alone.
Therefore
After tossing and turning in bed and struggling in pain for a long time, he killed his wife, "Cloud Lock Jade", and wiped out his superior's entire family!
Did his wife really betray him?
Li Yao faintly read between the lines and felt that there was no such thing.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have felt so guilty and couldn't forget her even after a few decades.
Yan Xinjian had betrayed Heavenly Saints City and snuck into Spider Den purely because he had been swallowed by the expansion of his heart. That was why he had done such an insane and inhumane thing!
He had succeeded.
After he defected to Spider Den, most space pirates did not suspect him because of the bloody crimes he had committed.
But at that time, he was still too weak to carry out a large-scale exploration.
Therefore, he tried his best to instigate the Cultivators to annihilate the bandits. Taking advantage of his familiarity with the enemy as the deputy commander of the coalition fleet, he was granted the temporary command by many pirate gangs.
For such an unparalleled expert as Yan Xinjian, there was no reason for him to hand over the 'temporary' command after he was granted.
In the decades that followed, he defeated the attacks of the Cultivators, purged Spider Den, and grasped tremendous power. Finally, he achieved his goal step by step and started excavating the underground fortress on a large scale.
Yan Xinjian knew very well that a storm of blood would definitely be raised if the secret treasures appeared on the ground. Not only would all the space pirates fight for them, it was also possible that the Cultivators would come back, too.
Therefore, Yan Xinjian simply built a secret training room deep below the ground and moved all the training facilities and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of the Star Ocean Imperium, as well as the secret treasures that he had looted from the ground, into the room!
After all the arrangements were made, he killed all the insiders, set up multiple traps, and left bait before he entered the secret training room and tried to break into the Divinity Transformation Stage.
The whole plan was perfect.
Yan Xinjian had considered everything, including the possibility of an apocalypse.
But he had not considered his own heart.
He had not foreseen that, when he was trying to break into the Divinity Transformation Stage from the peak of Yuanying, his wife, whom he had killed decades ago, would 'appear' in front of him again.
Yan Xinjian's mind was in a mess. He was mentally deranged and heavily wounded. After struggling for a few days, he passed away, leaving only his three souls and seven spirits.
Thankfully, he had prepared quite a few artificial bodies that could allow him to continue his training in the form of a spectral Cultivator.
However, the speed of his training was not the same as when he was alive.
Just like that, he continued training below the ground for a hundred years, hoping to recover his capability.
High-intensity training was a huge burden on the artificial bodies. He had to change to a new artificial body every now and then.
Gradually, all the artificial bodies in his inventory were seriously worn out. He had to perform maintenance on his own and put the old artificial bodies to use again.
At this time, another accident occurred.
When Yan Xinjian entered the secret training room, he had brought a lot of mice with him to experiment with his brand-new techniques.
After hundreds of years, the mice had multiplied and multiplied. Gradually, there were hundreds of them.
With Yan Xinjian's Cultivation, it was impossible for him to ignore the animals even though he had turned into a spectral Cultivator.
Li Yao estimated that he had allowed the mice to mate and reproduce because he was too lonely below the ground. He only slightly controlled the total number of the mice.
But out of his expectation, several of the mice escaped from his control and bit off the critical components on one of the artificial bodies.
The damage was quite inconspicuous. Yan Xinjian was not a refiner and did not notice it during the maintenance.
When he performed high-intensity training with the artificial body, a very serious accident took place.
The result was gory. Yan Xinjian's soul was torn apart, and he could not even maintain the form of a spectral Cultivator. He had to possess the body immediately, or he would vanish into nothingness!
Possession could only be performed on living creatures.
Yan Xinjian went through all the trouble to develop such a sordid Cultivation art as the Dream Breaking Arts, but he did not have the time to wait for the human beings on the ground to come down.
At this moment, the only living creatures in the secret training room were the mice!
It was not difficult to possess the bodies of the mice. Such animals with simple brains had insignificant soul power. It was impossible for them to build a strong defense.
However, it was exactly because the brains of the mice were too simple that they could not accommodate Yan Xinjian's enormous soul.
It was like trying to stuff an elephant into a mouse hole. It was an impossible task.
Yan Xinjian was indeed a genius of training. Before his soul perished, he finally figured out a way to divide his enormous soul into hundreds of parts and possess the bodies of hundreds of mice!
Since ancient times, 'possession' had always been perilous. One moment of carelessness, and they would be swallowed by the enemy, just like Ou Yezi, who tried to possess Li Yao.
Furthermore, splitting one's soul into hundreds of pieces and using each of them to possess a rat was an unheard of act of madness.
Nobody knew what the consequences of such an action would be.
But Yan Xinjian did not have a choice.
That was why he said, "There are plenty of mice."
How crazy, how desperate, and how ironic it was!
The hundreds of mice are indeed Yan Xinjian. Inside the tiny head of every mouse is a tiny bit of Yan Xinjian's remaining soul!
Yan Xinjian succeeded. His life was extended in the bodies of hundreds of mice in such a way.
