Living Dead... Corpse Embryo?
Mo Hua's pupils contracted. His thoughts churned as he slowly asked True Person Rong, "What... is a Living Dead Corpse Embryo?"
True Person Rong's voice remained calm, though a faint astonishment showed in her eyes:
"In this world, some people's destinies are different..."
"Birth date, birth hour, age, Yin-Yang, birthplace, parents' bloodlines... Factors like these can occasionally produce an anomaly beyond the Heavenly Dao, causing an extraordinary change in a cultivator's very existence and Fate..."
"Ordinarily, these people may look no different from other cultivators. Only when disaster strikes might the anomaly in their Fate be exposed."
"The piece of flesh you brought me may be such a case..."
True Person Rong looked at the flesh sample beneath the Glazed Mirror lens in her hand, her gaze grave:
"The remaining divine consciousness in this flesh is gray-white. That means its owner has no spirit and is already a 'corpse.' Yet that seemingly dead divine consciousness... still retains a measure of vitality, allowing the corpse to live like an ordinary person..."
"Dead, yet resembling the living: a Living Dead. A corpse after death, retaining vitality and able to keep growing: like an embryo."
"I consulted some ancient medical texts. They contain similar records and call those with this anomaly in their Fate... Living Dead Corpse Embryos."
True Person Rong's voice turned faintly cold as she said this.
A chill rose in Mo Hua's heart too.
He had only thought there must be something strange about Tu Sheng surviving his murder. He had never imagined it would involve a "Living Dead Corpse Embryo."
The name alone carried an air of danger.
Mo Hua asked, "Then what use is a Living Dead Corpse Embryo... What is it used for?"
True Person Rong shook her head. "Don't ask me."
