"He's your younger brother. Aren't you going to save him?" Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes. He was prepared to make a move at any moment.
The woman sat on her seat without moving. A mocking expression appeared on her face.
"Mi Shenglong is my younger brother. However, he played a part in my current predicament. He failed to seize power and fell into a trap set up by his accomplice. He had no choice but to be sealed in this wretched place with me … Hehe, I'd be a fool if I really wanted to save him. "
Lu Sheng understood slightly. However, these were only her side of the story. He would not believe all of it.
"You can call me Du Xiong. You should know my objective. Is there a way to solve this? "
His objective was to solve the problem of the Geshas' lifespan. Du Xia and Du Qiu were both Geshas. If he could not solve the problem of only having five years of lifespan, he would not be able to complete the karma of his Arrival.
When he mentioned this, the other Geshas focused their attention as well. After all, this matter concerned their safety.
"Du Xiong … My surname is also Mi, and my name is Guangying. The matter you're talking about is both simple and difficult." The woman's lips did not move, but her voice slowly resounded throughout the entire cave.
"The Heavenly Evil Phoenix Soul Pill is a divine pill placed here by the person who sealed me. If you can destroy the pill's core, the spiritual essence and spirit inside will automatically disperse and flow into the bodies of all the Geshas. Perhaps, it can make up for a portion of their lifespan. "
"Only a portion?" Lu Sheng frowned.
"Of course. The Geshas' power comes from unknowingly injecting their own lifespan into the Heavenly Evil Phoenix Soul Pill in exchange for a corresponding powerful ability," Mi Guangying explained drily. "This formation's original name is the Heavenly Evil Phoenix Soul Form Formation. It's a powerful formation used to extract a living being's lifespan and condense powerful artifacts. However, my enemies purposely altered it to look like this in order to seal me. "
"What are you trying to do after saying so much?" Lu Sheng asked directly.
"Let me out and break the seal. I can give you the method to reverse the Heavenly Evil Phoenix Soul Pill." Mi Guangying smiled drily.
"Do you think I don't know about formations?" Lu Sheng smiled coldly. "Can this formation trap you?"
"You wouldn't have asked me if you knew. You can tell the truth with just a glance from the formation veins around here," Mi Guangyin said disapprovingly. "As long as you kill Mi Shenglong, I'll be able to undo the seal myself."
Lu Sheng sneered. He looked around, and his gaze fell on Mi Shenglong, who was being controlled by his main body.
His four arms suddenly moved.
A great amount of black smoke spread out from Mi Shenglong's body. Like tentacles, numerous black threads pierced into Mi Shenglong's colorful body at lightning speed.
These were all spirit-prompting threads. After mastering the Tu Style Healing Art, when Lu Sheng used it in his complete form, the effects were completely different.
The spirit-prompting threads, which were supposed to be infused with Spiritual Essence, were now infused with Devil Qi, poison, and Yin Flames that could kill people in his main body.
A large amount of dark-green liquid quickly poured into Mi Shenglong's body.
"Ah!!"
He couldn't help but scream, but his mouth was immediately covered by the hand of the demonic shadow behind him.
Large pieces of his body fell to the ground, making muffled sounds.
Some of the pieces were destroyed, some were half-gone, and some seemed to have undergone a qualitative change, turning into a strange liquid.
In less than half a minute, the huge humanoid had completely fallen to the ground. All that was left was a brown, walnut-like substance that shone with a colorful radiance.
"This is the core of the Heavenly Evil Phoenix Soul Pill, the Gesha Core. It can bestow Gesha Power to living beings. However, you know the price," Mi Guangyin explained drily. "The living being bestowed with it will lose their future lifespan and the possibility of reincarnation. They'll only be left with their present. Their lifespan will also be greatly shortened. "
"That's enough." Lu Sheng walked up and reached out to grab the Gesha Core.
He pulled.
The Gesha Core did not move.
Mi Shenglong's silhouette appeared behind the Gesha Core.
"This is my main body. Do you think you've won? Hehehehe … Five years! Five years later! All the Geshas will lose their powers, and my power will reach its peak. When that time comes … I'll show you what fear is … "
Lu Sheng ignored him. He exerted more force, but it still did not budge.
"Give up. Do you think you can move the Gesha Core that represents all Geshas' power with your brute strength? Even I can't do this at my peak." Mi Shenglong sneered.
Lu Sheng exerted all his strength again. However, the core seemed to be fixed in midair. It did not budge at all.
"Indeed, I can't move it." He let go and nodded slightly.
A cold smile appeared on Mi Shenglong's face. "You don't understand the true meaning of my main body at all. This Gesha Core represents the gathering of all the Geshas' powers in the world. Over the past 60 years, countless Geshas have poured their physical bodies and spirits into it. With your strength alone, you can't … "" Boom! "
Lu Sheng took a step back and punched the Gesha Core.
The huge sound wave was like a tsunami. It instantly spread throughout the entire cave. Layers of fleshy folds appeared on the walls of the cave. Countless blood vessels even appeared on the walls.
"Crack."
There was a crisp sound. Fine cracks appeared on the surface of the Gesha Core. It seemed like it would explode at any moment.
This time, Lu Sheng reached out to grab it again, and easily grabbed it off the ground.
Du Xia and the others were not the only ones. Even Mi Guangyin's pupils contracted slightly.
This kind of pure physical strength was too shocking. Previously, it was all long-range attacks. They did not show much of their might. However, now that they were close to him, they understood.
The others finally understood that it was not that Lu Sheng was incapable. It was that he did not know long-range attacks at all.
'However, this Mi Shenglong is hiding in this core. I'll have to think of a way to get rid of him.' After obtaining the core, Lu Sheng glanced at Du Xia, the Hundred Flower Fairy, and the others behind him. Their Geshas' power originated from this core. It was impossible for them to do this.
"You … You! Impossible!? Picking up the Gesha Core requires at least a few thousand tons of strength. How did you …?! "Mi Shenglong's face was filled with disbelief.
When they heard him, Du Xia and the others were shocked. A few thousand tons!
A mere human was able to unleash such terrifying strength with his physical body alone. It could be explained if he was a Gesha. However, given Lu Sheng's age, it was impossible for him to be a Gesha.
"Nice body refinement!" Mi Guangyin, who was sitting on the throne, exhaled slowly. She seemed to have thought of something. Her gaze toward Lu Sheng was filled with anticipation.
"Since you're able to pick up the Gesha Core, I'll bestow upon you a fortuitous encounter."
"What do you mean?" Lu Sheng looked at her.
Mi Guangyin swept her gaze across the other Geshas. Her lips moved slightly, but her voice only reached Lu Sheng's ears.
"The Gesha Core itself is a treasure that can convert and store a large amount of Gesha Power. The material for conversion is lifespan. You want to remove the current lifespan limit of the Geshas and replenish their lifespans. In that case, the only way is … "
"No, I only want to replenish the lifespans of a few Geshas," Lu Sheng said drily. "There are about a hundred of them."
Mi Guangyin was slightly stunned. Then, a hint of admiration flashed past her eyes.
"That's easy. You just have to fuse your spirit with the Gesha Core. Then, control the Gesha Power from the people you want to replenish their lifespans. Remember to do it slowly. Then … take the Gesha Core and use the Black Jade Basin Method to devour twice the number of people you want to save. Devour their lifespans and turn them into new Geshas. "
She gave Lu Sheng a simple explanation of how to control the spirit with great precision.
After understanding the general principle, Lu Sheng quickly understood the crux of the matter.
"By the way, you're a Heavenly Devil, right? Why don't you toss them into your Heart World? The Heavenly Devil's Illusion World. I heard that if there are actual living beings that can live and reproduce inside, it'll be extremely beneficial to you, "Mi Guangyin said, puzzled.
"Is that so?" Lu Sheng was stunned.
"Looks like you don't have the complete Heavenly Devil inheritance. You only know how to Descend randomly to accumulate Spirit Power … I'm sure you don't Descend often, and you spend a long time in each world, right?" Mi Guangyin said with a faint smile, "Your physical body has great potential. Are you interested in joining the organization I'm in?"
"You're already sealed to this extent. What's in it for me if I join?" Lu Sheng laughed as well. She was already in such a terrible state, yet she was still thinking of tricking people into joining her faction.
"I was betrayed by my own younger brother, and the news has been sealed. The other members of the organization don't even know where I am, and we can't help each other. There's nothing we can do about that, "Mi Guangyin explained calmly. She was not angry.
"What's in it for me if I join? How powerful are you? How much protection can you give me?" Lu Sheng asked directly about the tangible benefits.
If the other party was truly powerful, he did not mind joining them. He had stayed in Libra City to join them and obtain the subsequent cultivation methods.
"We'll sign a mutual aid agreement with every member. If someone's in trouble, we'll arrange for reinforcements based on our contribution points. The higher the contribution points, the greater the help we can provide to the organization. We'll also receive greater protection, and more benefits and resources. For example, the source of the Gesha Power, this colossal formation, is merely one of the resources the organization once gave me, "Mi Guangyin explained casually.
Lu Sheng was slightly tempted. However, he could not join this organization without knowing how powerful it was. After all, the trouble he caused was too great. The Eight-Headed Griffon Tribe was not a tribe that any organization could handle.
Even Libra City, in the nearby galaxies, was only on par with this tribe. They could only protect themselves.
"Deal with the matters in this world first. You can ask me any questions you want. The God Clock will last for a month as long as the Heavenly Evil Phoenix Soul Pill isn't destroyed. This month should be enough for you to make a decision, "Mi Guangyin said calmly.
Lu Sheng nodded slightly. He led the Gesha Core, Du Xia, and the others away from this cavern slowly.
"Oh, that's right. By the way, the organization I'm in is called the Iron Banner Society. "When they were about to leave the God Clock through the crack, Mi Guangyin's voice entered Lu Sheng's ears again.
"Iron Banner Society …" He made a mental note of this name.
"Brother, are we done here?" Du Xia suddenly asked from behind him.
"Not yet. Soon, very soon," Lu Sheng returned to his senses and replied softly.
"Is there anything we can help you with? Please tell us, sir! " The Hundred Flower Fairy and the Frost Moon Tyrant had witnessed Lu Sheng's unreasonably powerful strength. All the Geshas could clearly see the huge four-armed specter that emerged from Lu Sheng's feet.
This kind of power made it impossible for anyone to resist. Moreover, the Gesha Core was currently in Lu Sheng's hands.
The Gesha Core was being controlled. Everyone, including Du Xia, felt as though their hearts were being squeezed tightly by a huge hand.
"What all of you have to do is simple. Go back and wait for news." Lu Sheng had another group of his most loyal subordinates.
Moreover, he had already thought of a way to guide these demoness Geshas.
