Chapter 1929: Chapter 640: A Fine Line Between Heaven and Hell, Sect Hierarch of Five Poisons Submits! Even the child of destiny is no more than this. "I’ve said all there is, whether you choose to believe or not is up to you. I am only giving you this opportunity for Mili’s sake." Lu Changsheng spoke no further, fully operating the Yin Yang Great Mingling Millstone, causing the void of heaven and earth to rumble loudly. What has been said is already enough. To continue babbling on would be unbecoming, too much is as bad as too little! "Heaven and hell in a single thought... ultimately nothing more than a puppet slave..." The Sect Hierarch of the Five Poisons Cult showed a hint of self-mockery on her pale face. After hundreds of years of cultivation and countless schemes, it had all led to this day. Now, with the great dao opportunity appearing before her, how could she not be swayed? Even though Yangming True Master’s words sounded too fake, too grand, too hollow, the methods he demonstrated made her unable to help but feel convinced! Especially since she had focused on Yangming True Master’s intelligence in order to deal with Lu Changsheng. His first appearance was at the Yiming Ghost Sect. Even though his combat prowess was outstanding, without the Golden Peng Bird, he could only be considered a late-stage core formation great cultivator. The second time he appeared, he single-handedly suppressed the Corpse Lady of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, Murong Zhuifeng, a combat prowess already belonging to a top level of core formation. The third time was during the wilderness opening war, where he could face the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master head-on. Now for the fourth time, facing this Yangming True Master, despite having a cultivation level not yet reaching core formation perfection, she could not match him. This speed of growth, the battle methods, and the partial cultivation technique he provided, all indicate that the person in front of her is by no means ordinary, not a typical cultivator! And then there are Nangong Mili, Nangong Yaoyao, and Nangong Minghuang, all of which show that this Yangming True Master is extraordinary. Although she had not seen Nangong Mili’s core formation situation, she knew Mili’s character, one unlikely to genuinely fall in love with someone. "Ah!" As her mind fluctuated, the Brahman Demon True Body suddenly slashed a sword again, the dazzling sword light pierced the void of heaven and earth, sending the Sect Hierarch of the Five Poisons Cult flying again, spitting up blood. The Sect Hierarch of the Five Poisons Cult coughed, speaking: "I am willing to submit, but the backlash of the gu insects won’t do." If it were a normal contract method, she could at least maintain her consciousness, and in danger, she could let her nascent soul leave the body and think of a way to break free in the future. But once the backlash of the Seven Absolute Love Gu fell upon her, it would affect her consciousness. At first, she could still maintain her true self and current conscious state. But as time passed, she would become completely entrapped by the Seven Absolute Love Gu, unable to extricate herself, becoming the other’s love slave, willing to dedicate her entire life! "Hmph, I always keep my word, if you’re unwilling, you can let your nascent soul leave the body and see if you can escape from the Human Emperor Sword!" Lu Changsheng could restrict the Five Poisons Cult Leader through the sealing divine light of the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone, the talisman prohibition of the Ninety-Nine Mystical Talisman Scripture, or the gu poison restriction inside the Myriad Calamities Poison Spirit Secret Scripture. But the other could suppress even the effects of a fourth-rank spiritual contract, so he wasn’t absolutely confident in his methods. Although the effect of the other’s fourth-rank gu worms didn’t ensure they could control the Five Poisons Cult Leader, it should outperform his methods. Moreover, now that the Five Poisons Cult Leader was heavily injured, as long as she allowed the gu insects to backfire on her, he could slowly think of a way to bring her under full control. The Five Poisons Cult Leader gritted her silver teeth, saw Lu Changsheng continue to attack, and chose to stop resisting, signaling the Seven Extremes Gu to stop resisting. "Buzz buzz buzz!!!" The Seven Extremes Gu wailed mournfully, as if saying ’Your servant wishes to fight to the death, why must Your Majesty surrender first’. Even though the Peach Blossom Gu before it was extraordinary, it was ultimately one major level below it. Even if the Five Poisons Cult Leader was pushed to the brink by Lu Changsheng, it still firmly suppressed the Peach Blossom Gu. If it wasn’t for Lu Changsheng possessing a nascent soul level Taiyi Divine Soul, it could easily corrode Lu Changsheng’s soul sea even through the Peach Blossom Gu. As the Five Poisons Cult Leader stopped resisting, the Seven Extremes Gu wailed and began to be suppressed by the Peach Blossom Gu. "The gap between the third rank and the fourth rank is ultimately too great." Lu Changsheng watched as the Peach Blossom Gu struggled to suppress the Seven Extremes Gu, sighed silently, and the Taiyi Divine Soul between his brows emitted an endless soul light shining upon the Peach Blossom Gu. The Five Poisons Cult Leader was not surprised that Lu Changsheng possessed a nascent soul level soul. Even from the prior conversation, she felt that having just a nascent soul was far from enough for Lu Changsheng. Yet, her view was obscured by his physical body and qi mechanism; she couldn’t see Lu Changsheng’s soul state in detail and could only guess that perhaps due to reincarnation, he only had a nascent soul. "Whoosh!" Seeing the pace, Lu Changsheng faintly furrowed his brow, tapped the Qiankun Shadow-Confining Belt, and brought out a jar, from which emerged a thumb-sized gu insect, entirely blood-red, somewhat listless. It was precisely the Lockheart Gu! Though Lu Changsheng carried this gu insect with him, he had never truly used or cultivated it. Seeing the Peach Blossom Gu’s barely effective combat strength, he gestured for the Lockheart Gu to go support it. Yet, facing the Seven Extremes Gu’s qi mechanism, the Lockheart Gu dared not approach, trembling in fear. With the big brother Peach Blossom Gu, it mustered the courage to step forward for suppression. "Is that... a Lockheart Gu?" The Five Poisons Cult Leader instantly recognized it, her expression mixed with surprise, not expecting Lu Changsheng to possess a top-tier gu insect like the Peach Blossom Gu and also possess a Lockheart Gu. Though the Lockheart Gu is merely an Earth Spirit Gu, it is considered a top-tier gu insect. However, Lu Changsheng’s Lockheart Gu appeared listless, indicating lack of proper cultivation. "Could it be that the Heavenly Spider was also influenced by his use of the Lockheart Gu? If so, this Yangming True Master is not a righteous figure." The Five Poisons Cult Leader’s face was a mix of emotions, clenching her delicate fists. As the head of the Five Poisons Cult, allowing her lifebound gu worm to be suppressed by others was indeed frustrating! "Mili attempted to use a Love Gu against me, which backfired, leaving her under my control, though the Love Gu has long been lifted." "If you sincerely submit, once I break through to Nascent Soul, lifting the Love Gu will be no problem, and I shall offer you another choice." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎 Observing the Five Poisons Cult Leader’s internal struggle, Lu Changsheng spoke calmly, his words filled with confidence. At the moment, he could not fully command the Five Poisons Cult Leader, nor could he kill her. But once he broke through to nascent soul, even more of the Five Poisons Cult Leaders would be nothing but a rabble, easily subdued. At that time, whether there was a love gu or not, it would make no difference. "Will I have a choice then?" The Five Poisons Cult Leader spoke in a self-mocking, defeated tone. If she were ensnared by the Seven Absolute Love Gu, she would not even desire to break free. And with his strength, if not if he broke through to nascent soul, her only choice would be submission. Yet, thinking of his strength, his words, she decided to take the gamble! "I always keep my promises. If you truly submit, not only will you have the right to choose, but you will also ascend the path to the heavens, celebrated and revered as a great true monarch, a deity of transformation, renowned throughout the Southern Wilderness, a marvel across ages." "In the future, you’ll be grateful for your decision." Lu Changsheng said with a faint smile, exuding an aura of surpassing elegance, his tone imposing. By now, he was deeply engrossed in the role, confident in his omnipotence, which influenced the Five Poisons Cult Leader. After all, such promises involved becoming a Nascent Soul Great True Monarch, a Deity of Transformation, known across the Southern Wilderness and Central Province, such grandeur! Knowing that as cultivators ascend the immortal path, the higher their cultivation realm, the greater their reverence for heaven and earth. Were it not for Lu Changsheng lacking a certain timeless quality of one who has endured eons, his words would be even more believable. Time passed slowly, until finally. "Buzz!" Under the suppression of the Peach Blossom Gu and Lockheart Gu, the Seven Extremes Gu finally wailed one last time, subdued by both. In that moment, Lu Changsheng sensed a vague connection with the Five Poisons Cult Leader. Similar to the emotional threads of the Lockheart Gu, yet distinctly different. He looked over at the Five Poisons Cult Leader. Her garment was tattered, her face pale and weak, she seemed to perceive something and lifted her head to meet Lu Changsheng’s gaze. Their eyes met. Lu Changsheng saw in her eyes a complex glimmer of intimacy, knowing the love gu had taken effect.
