Free Web NovelChapter 1346: Chapter 505: Human Desire and Emotional Attachment
Zhou Xuan had never imagined that he just wanted to raise a wedding doll, yet somehow ended up raising a "Joy Demon."
This Joy Demon would drive whoever it glared at mad; it was truly somewhat terrifying. Even that Yun Ziliang who sat eight and looked nine could not withstand that soul-seizing gaze.
Fortunately Yun Ziliang was no common man. His astonishing Taoist cultivation and innate domineering aura, after he had gone mad several rounds, allowed him to barely slip free of some of the spiritual assault.
In that instant of "Heart Clarity and Qi Purity," he actually borrowed a wisp of Dragon Qi from between Heaven and Earth, then controlled the Dragon Qi, turning it into a Blade, and drew a cut across his own palm.
Using pain to break free from Spiritual Control had already become one of the most widespread methods in Jing Country.
"Puchi!"
As fresh blood spurted out, the tremendous pain that erupted made Yun Ziliang’s mind all the clearer.
And he, as though drained of strength, said to Zhou Xuan, "Xuanzi, seal... seal that doll’s eyes... it can steal people’s souls."
This naturally did not need Yun Ziliang’s reminder.
Zhou Xuan and Peng Sheng had already spread out their formation.
Peng Sheng’s two palms turned to claws and raked viciously at his own chest. His five fingers plowed five shallow blood-red scars across his skin.
As flesh rolled back, the blood flowing over Peng Sheng’s chest did not drip downward but floated upward instead, becoming a stream of blood stretched across the sky.
Right after, Peng Sheng raised both hands high, letting his Perception link with that blood current, urging that current to grow thinner and thinner,
until the blood flow thinned into blood threads, the ends of which were tied to the Bone Teeth.
At this moment, Zhou Xuan stepped in midair, landing atop the table, the "Peng Hou" mask on his face flickering with radiance.
He was by nature the one least afraid of mental pollution. In the Earth Abyss, he had even tempered himself once with the Colorful Play Master’s "Ancestor’s Brain." When it came to resisting Spiritual Control, if Zhou Xuan claimed he was only second in the world, there was likely no one who dared pat his chest and call himself first.
As the radiance on the mask grew ever more intense, Zhou Xuan stepped again, his figure drifting up into the air.
The Bone Teeth swept swiftly over the wedding doll’s head.
"Waa, waa, waa..."
The wedding doll glared at Zhou Xuan while being so frightened by the aura of the Bone Teeth that it burst into loud wails.
As for that soaring Bone Needle, after it streaked past at high speed, the blood thread trailing from its tail seemed to come alive.
The blood thread, like a slick slender worm, when its end brushed past the wedding doll, suddenly burrowed into the corner of the doll’s eye.
The instant the thread tip pierced in, the wedding doll felt pain and tried to yank that thread out, but its strength was precisely lacking; it could not pull the thread free.
"These eyes of yours really must not be allowed to stay open."
Zhou Xuan’s gaze turned cold upon the wedding doll, while his Perception continuously seeped into the doll’s body.
The more Perception he infused, the tighter the thread tip drew, and the greater the binding effect it had on the wedding doll.
When almost the entire blood thread had burrowed into the doll’s body, the section of the tail still exposed outside, like a Butterfly flitting through flowers, kept stitching in and out around the doll’s upper and lower eyelids—
"Seal the eyes!"
Seeing the timing was ripe, Zhou Xuan shouted sharply. His powerful Perception, like two immensely strong arms, gave that fine thread a fierce yank—the doll’s eyes were sewn shut.
And the fine thread within the doll’s body coiled around its five viscera and six bowels, rendering it unable to move.
It wanted to raise its hands again to tear at the thread on its eyelids, but it could not move in the slightest.
The wedding doll immediately toppled to the ground, sobbing continuously.
"Rather noisy."
Zhou Xuan waved his hand again; the blood threads within the doll’s body tightened further. This time, it truly could not even cry.
"Pa, pa, pa!"
Just as this wedding doll was subdued, the Eternal Life Sect Leader’s Fengliu Opera on the stage had also reached a fitting conclusion.
He snapped his whip, drawing three cracking reports in midair, indicating that his performance was finished.
The Fox Clan, in unison, burst into applause, while the Eternal Life Sect Leader strode toward Zhou Xuan.
He wanted to see that wedding doll with his own eyes.
"Master Zhou, has this Joy Demon already been bound?" the Eternal Life Sect Leader asked Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan lifted the doll and handed it over for the Eternal Life Sect Leader to examine, saying, "Sect Hierarch, take a look and see whether this doll can be refined into any formidable elixir."
"Then I must have a look."
The Eternal Life Sect Leader immediately took the doll into his arms.
The moment the doll entered his hands, he felt that although it seemed about the same size as a normal newborn infant,
its weight was astonishingly heavy—afraid it was a full hundred catties. freewebnøvel.com
Aside from its weight, the most terrifying aspect of this doll was its scent. Though it was still merely a material for Alchemy, it already carried the aroma of a Human Pill.
"Master Zhou, this doll, as a material for a Human Pill, though not yet refined, already possesses some of an elixir’s fragrance."
The Eternal Life Sect Leader explained to Zhou Xuan in full detail.
Zhou Xuan slanted his brows and asked, "Is this assessment of yours accurate?"
He intentionally spoke this way, for after all, the first moment he sensed this wedding doll had turned into a Demon was precisely because some of its traits were similar to that Danzi. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Danzi and this doll shared a certain resemblance in their scent.
However, Zhou Xuan absolutely had to pretend he did not know.
Whether in the Heavenly Dome or in Bai Yujing, all that was known was that Zhou Xuan had refined "Source Power Pills."
These Source Power Pills were a type of Qi Pill—meaning Zhou Xuan had never seen a Human Pill before.
