Chapter 1014: Chapter 1014: Ultimate Demon Fetus

"After putting on this act, do you really feel happy?"

Qin Jun muttered in his heart, especially when paired with Patriarch Bodhi’s light and breezy demeanor, it was invisibly lethal.

After all, Patriarch Bodhi was his staunch subordinate.

If you’re happy, that’s good.

Qin Jun shrugged and smiled, "Let’s go, to the Immortal Palace."

Patriarch Bodhi nodded, and the two turned to walk towards the grand entrance of the Immortal Palace.

Just as they passed by two statues, Qin Jun suddenly felt two terrifying murderous intents attacking him, making him feel as if he were in a cold cellar.

Patriarch Bodhi’s eyes narrowed, and he immediately waved the Dust Brush. Qin Jun instantly relaxed, and the two murderous intents disappeared.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at the statues on both sides, only to see that the two statues had, at some point, turned their heads to stare at him, eerily terrifying. Even though the statues were made of stone, the twisting of their heads still gave one goosebumps.

"Hmph!"

Patriarch Bodhi snorted coldly and stamped his right foot. The two statues quickly turned their heads back.

This scene greatly surprised Qin Jun, who asked doubtfully, "Are they living creatures, or a formation?"

"Equivalent to a formation, but not exactly; they simply possess spirit and autonomously guard the Immortal Palace."

Patriarch Bodhi explained softly, his calm tone clearly showing that he did not take the statues seriously.

Qin Jun realized then that all things have a spirit, especially statues, which gain spirit from human worship and belief, meaning consciousness.

If the people pray for the statues to protect them, they will generate protective spirits.

If the people pray for the statues to expel demons, they will generate demon-expelling spirits.

Of course, the creation of spirits is difficult, but it’s quite easy in the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Afterward, the two arrived at the great door of the Immortal Palace. Patriarch Bodhi gently pushed open the door, choosing to enter openly.

"Don’t worry, there’s no one inside."

Patriarch Bodhi said with a smile. Although he could not precisely sense the celestial mirror, he did not detect any living beings inside the Immortal Palace, indicating it was devoid of life.

Qin Jun nodded, and they both entered the Immortal Palace.

What first caught their eyes was an extremely wide corridor, with rows of stone pillars spaced over twenty meters apart, and the mysterious red rock floor reflecting the figures of Qin Jun and Patriarch Bodhi.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa...

The oil lamps in the corners of the palace ignited one after another, the light illuminating the entire hall. The Immortal Palace was resplendent inside, with various magical instruments placed in the corners, including a pill furnace.

Ahead, several hundred meters away, was a huge pool with a diameter of a hundred meters, filled with blue water clear to the bottom, making the surrounding golden columns shine brightly.

Qin Jun, accompanied by Patriarch Bodhi, reached the edge of the blue pool. He could feel that the blue pool contained an immense amount of spirit energy, invigorating his blood.

"Could it be that this pool was used by Canghua Immortal Venerable for cultivation?"

Qin Jun wondered aloud, the spirit energy in the blue pool was extremely dense; any being below entering the realm of the saint, upon feeling it, would go mad.

Patriarch Bodhi nodded and said, "It likely is, probably formed by a gathering spirit formation that condensed the spirit energy into a pool. Judging by the clarity of the spirit pool, it seems Canghua Immortal Venerable has not entered the pool for a long time."

Having reached the heights of Patriarch Bodhi in cultivation, they no longer needed to cultivate; their closed-door seclusions were for comprehending the Heavenly Dao.

Qin Jun suppressed the impulse to jump into the pool and said, "Let’s first look for the celestial mirror!"

Patriarch Bodhi nodded, and they continued deeper inside.

The Immortal Palace was vast, equivalent to a small city with numerous annexes, inner palaces, and compartments for storing pills, magical instruments, or cultivation methods. Qin Jun did not loot, as he already considered the Immortal Palace his possession.

He not only wanted to kill Canghua Immortal Venerable and seize the celestial mirror but also possess the Ancient Immortal Realm!

He intended to rename the Ancient Immortal Realm as Qin!

Time swiftly passed.

An hour later.

Qin Jun and Patriarch Bodhi reached the end of the corridor, facing a stone wall with no means to go further.

"It seems the Heavenly Scriptures are really not here," said Patriarch Bodhi. Qin Jun frowned deeply, unsettled by the disappearance of the scriptures.

What if Canghua Immortal Venerable had to continue his seclusion for hundreds more years?

Was he just supposed to wait?

Or were the Heavenly Scriptures never with Canghua Immortal Venerable to start with?

In that moment, Qin Jun’s mood worsened, his face darkening as if about to drip with water.

"Wait, there’s something here."

Just then, Patriarch Bodhi suddenly spoke up. As his words fell, he approached the stone wall, waved Dust Brush, and the wall violently collapsed, dust flying everywhere, stirring Qin Jun’s gold-threaded white robe.

A hidden room?

Qin Jun’s eyes lit up. As the dust cleared, he saw that inside the room the light was dim, with a beam of light from above shining directly in the center where a lump of flesh, the size of an adult’s head and pulsating like a heart, was suspended in the white light.

"What is this?" Qin Jun frowned. This thing did not look anything like the Heavenly Scriptures.

Patriarch Bodhi also furrowed his white eyebrows, whispering, "Your Majesty, please do not approach, this thing appears to be an embryo."

An embryo?

Qin Jun felt a chill run down his spine. An embryo that survived outside of the womb?

"Its vitality is exceedingly powerful, filled with resentment. It must be a demon embryo," said Patriarch Bodhi as he narrowed his eyes, a hint of aversion flickering across his gaze.

It was not the aura of the demon embryo he feared, but its potential future.

For some reason, he felt if this thing were to grow, it would definitely become a disaster for the three thousand worlds.

"A demon embryo?"

Qin Jun’s eyebrows knitted tightly, knowing anything related to ’demon’ was no small matter.

Back in the era of White Emperor, the Devil Clan had already vanished from the Xuandang Great World. Perhaps true members of the Devil Clan still existed among the stars, but most demon cultivators were not true demons.

This was the first time he had heard of a so-called demon embryo.

But this was the Ancient Immortal Realm, inside the palace where Canghua Immortal Venerable resided. How could there possibly be a demon embryo here?

He suddenly sensed that something was amiss.

Why would Canghua Immortal Venerable leave such an important thing inside the Immortal Palace?

Patriarch Bodhi also realized this point, his expression growing even more somber.

"Eeek... eek..."

Suddenly, a hair-raising shriek emitted from the demon embryo, combining with the gloomy surroundings like a chill wind blowing through, enough to send any ordinary person running in terror.

Qin Jun was momentarily dazed by the call, hearing what seemed like countless ghosts howling in his ears.

"Kill! Slay all enemies! Slay all under heaven!"

"Heavenly Emperor of Qin! You will not die a good death!"

"My empire... are you worthy of it?"

"Your Majesty... why wage war... Would I have died if not for you?"

In an instant, Qin Jun closed his eyes and clenched his teeth, involuntarily stirred by a violent mood, almost eager to destroy the heavens and obliterate the earth.

"Your Majesty!"

Patriarch Bodhi suddenly called out, his voice like a sound of utmost righteousness, instantly snapping Qin Jun to his senses, the ghostly shrieks around him vanishing in an instant.

Qin Jun opened his eyes, sweating profusely, his eyes filled with fear.

At that moment, he had almost felt possessed by madness.

"This demon embryo is likely forged from countless lost souls and is a profoundly evil entity. The Heavenly Dao will not tolerate it," Patriarch Bodhi said gravely, hard to imagine how many lives Canghua Immortal Venerable had sacrificed to create this demon embryo.
