Chapter 1138 - 1138 1124 Human-Beast Unity

Chapter 1138: Chapter 1124: Human-Beast Unity Chapter 1138: Chapter 1124: Human-Beast Unity This Sacred Heavenly Technique was indeed a marvelous martial arts treasure, pondered with great depth; however, it also had its deficiencies. If it could be fused with the softness of Qiandu Xiang’s style, it might become even better.

But how to integrate them? That would take time and careful consideration. If it were possible to bring forth softness within the strength, then its shortcomings would be even fewer. Though perfection might be unattainable, it certainly could elevate to a higher level.

Ye Chen thought about it very seriously and carefully.

So how could one achieve softness within strength? It was a question worth pondering.

He recalled the way Qiandu Xiang executed his moves. Although he couldn’t discern the opponent’s thinking from the posture of his moves, he was certain that his martial arts also originated from the strong form of the Sacred Heavenly Technique—something he could definitely ascertain.

There were traces to follow. With slow contemplation, he should be able to discern some principles.

Ye Chen watched closely, feeling slightly more enlightened than before.

Before long, Nangong Yan came with food but did not see Li Mo. She asked, “Why isn’t your servant here?”

Ye Chen replied, “He knew you would definitely come to look for me, so he was too embarrassed to stay. He purposely found an excuse to leave.”

Nangong Yan pursed her lips, placed the food on his table, and said, “Look, I brought you food right away. I treat you so well.”

“Then, thank you. But I don’t need others to be good to me. I’m afraid of owing others. You can leave now.”

Nangong Yan was somewhat angry, really wanting to leave.

Quickly, Ye Chen said, “Hey, I was just kidding with you. Let’s have a chat.” He pushed a chair over to her.

Nangong Yan was still holding a grudge.

Ye Chen opened the basket; indeed, there were many delicious items—fruit, roasted seafood, and roast chicken—a box filled to the brim.

“Very thoughtful. You must have picked them out carefully.”

Nangong Yan was still annoyed.

Ye Chen hurriedly poured her a cup of tea, saying, “Hey, have some tea first, let go of your anger. ‘The magnanimous don’t dwell on the offences of the petty.'”

Nangong Yan pinched her nose.

“Come on, with all this food you brought, you must not have eaten anything yourself.”

The Black Demonic Spirit jumped out and exclaimed, “I want to know now, when will the magic be performed?” He was more anxious than anyone else, almost unable to sit still any longer.

“What’s the rush? If you keep being impatient, I won’t help you,” Nangong Yan admonished.

“Don’t take your anger out on me, okay!” the Black Demonic Spirit sat opposite her, joining the Red Demonic Spirit in conversation.

The Red Demonic Spirit had long passed the stage of excitement. It had been days since he acquired the Sacred Spirit Stone, and Shao Hengjiang had told him that they could perform the magic today; they needed a quiet room.

Nangong Yan said, “Do you think casting magic is that easy? We still need to set up a Bagua Array and draw down the power of the Big Dipper Seven Stars.”

The Black Demonic Spirit said coldly, “Is it really that complicated?” clearly disbelieving her.

“You think I’m joking? The power of the Sacred Spirit Stone is extraordinary. If mishandled, things could spiral out of control. Setting up the Bagua Array and drawing the power of the Big Dipper Seven Stars is to ensure safety. You really think we don’t want to rush it?”

Ye Chen felt hungry but the food she brought smelled truly delicious.

The ship distanced itself further from the shore, not lingering any longer, carrying another boat towards the southwest.

Watching Xiyue Island disappear into the distant rear.

It wasn’t long before Ouyang Yue also arrived, and upon entering, she said, “I knew Yan’er would be here.”

Ye Chen replied, “Apart from being here with me, where else could she go?”

Ouyang Yue laughed and asked, “Should I bring some wine over?”

Nangong Yan glared at her, immediately recalling their conversation that night.

Over there, the Black Demonic Spirit said, “We should have some wine,”

At dusk, after having dinner, the two girls also went back.

It wasn’t long before Shao Hengjiang came over, and of course, Ye Chen knew he was here for the magic ritual planned for tonight.

Utilizing the Big Dipper Seven Stars Array required the night time.

Shao Hengjiang said, “Alright, tonight, we can perform the ritual. Who do you want to go first?”

The Red Demonic Spirit and the Black Demonic Spirit were both present.

The Black Demonic Spirit couldn’t wait any longer. He had waited a whole thousand years for this day and had daydreamed countless times. He said, “Of course, I go first. The monkey is going to destroy the Wolf King’s Ring, so that must be a heavyweight act and should naturally be the grand finale. Compared to the Red Demonic Spirit, as the younger brother, how can he have the nerve to go before me?”

“Why can’t I go before you?” the Red Demonic Spirit spat out anxiously.

“As the elder brother, it’s only right that I let my younger brother go first. Do you really have no shame in jumping ahead of your younger brother?”

Shao Hengjiang said, “This matter of restoring your bodies, we haven’t done it before. We have no experience with how it will turn out exactly, we’re just going by what you said about using Pangu’s power to restore your bodies.”

Upon hearing this, the Black Demonic Spirit became anxious and asked, “What do you mean by that? Are you saying you’re not sure of this?”

Shao Hengjiang smiled and said, “Anything can result in an accident, not to mention, we truly have no experience.”

The Black Demonic Spirit’s eyes widened with unease, “What do you mean? What will happen if there is an accident?”

Shao Hengjiang spoke menacingly, “I’m just laying it out for you. There’s no physician who can guarantee a cure one hundred percent of the time. If there’s an accident, it’s possible you won’t be discernible as male or female, you might end up as a chimera, even getting a beast’s body is a possibility.”

The Black Demonic Spirit jumped up in fright and said, “What, indistinguishable as male or female, a chimera, even possibly getting a beast’s body?”

How could he not be frightened? He still wanted to obtain a normal human body, become a rich man, marry a good ten or eight girls, father more than a dozen children, and really be the master of the house. If he turned out indistinguishable as male or female, a chimera, or truly got a beast’s body, that would never do, how could he marry?

If he got married and all his offspring turned out to be freaks, he’d rather be castrated first because he certainly couldn’t let that happen. If he truly became a beast, what woman would dare to be with him? He would have to look for a female beast—which was absolutely unacceptable.

“I’m just mentioning the possibility of an accident happening in advance, just to let you know. Of course, the chances of this happening are very low; it’s just a remote possibility,” Shao Hengjiang said.

“You’re joking with me. Such a thing cannot be allowed to happen,” the Black Demonic Spirit thought the whole idea horrific. He used to be so handsome; if he ended up with a beast’s body and couldn’t even tell if he was human or animal, that would never do.

Hearing Shao Hengjiang say this, the Red Demonic Spirit quickly spoke up, “Then let the Black Demonic Spirit perform the ritual first.”

The Black Demonic Spirit immediately understood the Red Demonic Spirit’s intention, wanting him to be the test subject marching to the front. That simply wouldn’t do, and he said in a rush, “No, you go first. I will protect you from behind.”

“Protect my ass. I don’t need you to defend me. You were the one who snatched at the chance to go first just now.”

Shao Hengjiang chuckled on the side, finding the two characters quite amusing.

The Black Demonic Spirit said, “How can a younger brother refuse to yield to his elder brother? I’ll generously let you go first this time.”

“Bullshit, you didn’t say that before. Only after hearing there might be a risk of a chimera did you let me go first. You want me to be the test subject, don’t you? You think I don’t know your little schemes!”

The Black Demonic Spirit chuckled and said, “Anyway, I’m not going first.” He needed to see what would happen after the Red Demonic Spirit’s ritual. If it ended up creating a chimera, he’d still have time to refuse. He’d rather keep living as he was now without a body than become a chimera; there was at least dignity in his existence as is. Such a thing was absolutely out of the question.

“You take advantage of everything,” the Red Demonic Spirit exclaimed in agitation.

“Let’s play rock-paper-scissors. Whoever loses goes first.”

“Bullshit, as if I’m going to play rock-paper-scissors with you. Do I look stupid?” The Black Demonic Spirit was determined, knowing that the Red Demonic Spirit would eventually agree. He was sure of it, so there was no need for rock-paper-scissors.

Ye Chen, witnessing their argument, found it quite amusing and added, “In my opinion, going first would actually be best.”

Not understanding, the Black Demonic Spirit asked, “What do you mean?”

“Think about it. During the ritual, those performing it for the first one will certainly be full of confidence, everyone in their prime state, so it’s usually safe from accidents. Conversely, for the second one, due to a lack of focus, accidents are often likely to occur.”

The Black Demonic Spirit became serious for a moment. He knew Ye Chen had a better relationship with the Red Demonic Spirit than with him, so naturally, Ye Chen would side with him. He sneered, “Who are you trying to fool? Experience from the first one means the second will go more smoothly; it’s generally trouble-free. You’re trying to trick me into going first, but you can forget about it. Anyway, I refuse to go first.” Saying this, he leaped out and added, “Red Demonic Spirit, don’t worry. Whether you’re a chimera or not, I’ll still acknowledge you as a brother.”

The anxious Red Demonic Spirit was at a loss for what to do.

Shao Hengjiang said cheerfully, “I’ve complied with your request. Whether to proceed with the ritual or not, that’s up to you.”

Ye Chen hadn’t expected the old man to be so tricky, scaring them with such talk. He was really showing some mischief.

“After dark, we’ll perform the ritual in the uppermost cabin. Ye Chen, you should come help too,” Shao Hengjiang knew Ye Chen’s martial arts were excellent. Ever since Ye Chen had trained in the Sacred Heavenly technique he provided, Ye Chen had already surpassed him. Having one more person there would certainly make them more confident.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be there on time,” Ye Chen assured.

Shao Hengjiang stood up and made his way outside.

The Red Demonic Spirit, still fuming and contemplating whether to go through with the ritual or not, resembled a bride-to-be, worried about whether this step would plunge her into irreversible doom.

Ye Chen, in an attempt to comfort him, said, “The likelihood is very low, don’t listen to the old guy’s nonsense. He’s just kidding around.”

“But what if it’s true?”

“Then you’ll still have an individual form, which is better than being in-between,” Ye Chen replied.
