Everyone in the main hall knew that something was about to begin!
But nobody knew what would happen, and nobody knew what to do.
The Four Saints Guard around them lowered their heads, their heavy armor and previously dull eyes began to flash with a terrifying crimson light, but for some reason, they were all deliberately looking at the ground, as if they were enduring something!
"My lord."
Shen Qi subconsciously took a step closer to Chen Qing. The chill down his spine made him shrink his neck. He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he felt as if he was being watched by something for a moment. And it wasn't just one thing, but many things were watching him. The malice of wanting to devour him made his scalp tingle.
The other students from the Jiangnan Academy also subconsciously moved closer to Chen Qing, their faces pale, clearly feeling the same way as Shen Qi.
Chen Qing looked around, suppressing his discomfort, because he also felt it. It was as if someone wanted to take over everything about you, as if they wanted to clean every inch of your skin, which really made his scalp tingle.
He roughly knew what they were.
Ancient Demon possess terrifying parasitic talents, but ultimately they are parasitic species, unable to grow on their own. They are extremely dependent on their parasites, so even during the powerful Ancient Demon Dynasty, they needed to raise other powerful species to support their offspring.
Why do we feel like we're about to be devoured alive?
Because that's exactly what the other side wants to do. The people in the main hall, including those Dragon Vein sorcerers, are the best parasitic bodies at this stage!
The worst sorcerers here are all warlocks who Fusion powerful species from the Dragon Palace. They possess both family magical inheritances and Dragon Palace bloodlines, making them extremely good vessels for ordinary Blood Demon.
At most, I'm a bit old and physically weak, but these problems can be solved.
Chen Qing glanced at the so-called Four Saints Guard and roughly guessed what was going on.
These Four Saints Guard are likely artificial bodies, perfectly conforming to the attributes of the Four Saints. Such artificial bodies should possess the best hardware; if they could directly parasitize Ancient Demon, they would be virtually invincible. The inherent weakness of Ancient Demon is their need for powerful creatures to parasitize them in the early stages, giving them a passive attribute. If they could create their own parasites, given Ancient Demon talent and sheer numbers, they would probably have already swept across the world.
But if they don't, then it means that these Four Saints Guard are flawed.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Chen Qing observed the Four Saints Guard who were frozen in place. Each of them had their heads down, seemingly not wanting to reveal their eyes.
It's already quite obvious; you can see those terrifying scarlet eyes if you pay a little attention.
What are they running away from?
"Your Highness, the situation is dire," Chen Baifeng transmitted his voice, his brow furrowed and his expression grim.
He had initially thought that if his side won the trial, it would disrupt the enemy's plans, but it now seemed that this was not the case.
" Lord Chen, please calm down," Chen Qing reassured him via telepathy. "The other side won't act so quickly. There must be a trigger. And if I'm not mistaken, they will probably try to win you over."
"Win them over?" Chen Baifeng was taken aback, somewhat confused.
Why try to win them over?
"If I'm not mistaken, they will try to win you over with promises of longevity and greater strength, Lord Chen. Think immediately about which families in your South Sea lineage will not be won over, and which will be easily won over. Give me a list right now; time is of the essence!"
"This..." Chen Baifeng paused for a moment, then quickly said, "Your Highness, could you please explain more clearly? What can they possibly offer? I need to assess the situation accordingly."
That old fox.
Chen Qing curled her lip; perhaps this judgment included herself as well?
However, time was of the essence, and he also planned to keep it a secret. Chen Baifeng and the others were Dragon Vein sorcerers, and their overall abilities might not be very good right now, but if they were combined with the spatial spells of his academy, they could unleash spells with astonishing destructive power, which would be a good force for breaking through the enemy lines.
"If I'm not mistaken, their conditions should be these Four Saints Guard?"
" The Four Saints Guard?" Chen Baifeng frowned. "What's so tempting about them? These Four Saints Guard are clearly uncontrollable; what use are they?"
"It can be controlled," Chen Qing said in a low voice. "These Four Saints Guard possess Dao bodies that are closest to the four elements. I'm sure you've noticed that, haven't you?"
Chen Baifeng nodded. Of course he could see that these Four Saints Guard possessed the purest elemental Dao bodies. If they were taken back and trained using family techniques, they might be able to train extremely powerful sorcerer puppets. Moreover, the Four Saints Guard were all of Transcendent physique, at the top level of martial arts. They could easily cultivate both magic and martial arts, and the practicality of the trained puppets would be considerable.
"What if these bodies could be used on your own bodies?"
"Huh? What did you say?" Chen Baifeng was immediately stunned.
"It's based on the same principle as the Dragon Palace's Dragon Transformation Technique, except this time it's not a bloodline that's being transformed, but a perfect Dao body. You understand what that means, right?"
"Hiss!" Even though Chen Baifeng was somewhat prepared, he was still taken aback by these words and gasped!
Is it true or false?
If this news were released now, the entire warlock community would probably go crazy, right?
Who are the influential figures in the warlock community right now?
It's an elderly person!
They are all old guys who are at least over 100 years old, or even over 200 years old, but now the resources in the South Sea are mainly provided by young people.
why is that?
The reason is simple. Even if the older generation successfully Dragon Transformation, their bloodline will be greatly diminished. For example, a Thousand-Footed Dragon has a lifespan of 100,000 years, while a human sorcerer's lifespan is 300 years. If a 200-year-old sorcerer Dragon Transformation Thousand-Footed Dragon, how long would their lifespan be?
Many people might subconsciously assume it's 100,000 years, but that's not the case.
Lifespan is based on proportions. You are already old. Even if you successfully Dragon Transformation, you will be an old Thousand-Footed Dragon. How could you possibly have a lifespan of 100,000? At most, it will be 30,000 years.
Moreover, aging organs and essence will still severely affect blood circulation, and potential will decline significantly.
This is why such high-quality Dragon Transformation resources in the South Sea are given to outstanding young people.
Is it that the older generation doesn't want better things?
It's not because doing so will lead to being completely surpassed or even crushed by other families willing to give resources to young people. That's the real reason why young people can rise to the top. Otherwise, why would the older generation, who hold absolute power and influence, give resources to young people?
But what if the older generation could be rejuvenated?
Chen Baifeng's hands trembled slightly.
"Your Highness means we can use the bodies of these Four Saints Guard?" Chen Baifeng found this idea absurd. How could they be used? Did they graft their souls onto them?
"Highly likely," Chen Qing sighed.
Seeing Chen Baifeng's excited expression, he knew just how tempting it was.
But then again, for these old men, what could be more tempting than regaining a young body?
He couldn't hide this, nor could he conceal it, because soon the Ancient Demon behind the scenes would likely use these things to lure everyone.
"However, there's a price to pay," Chen Qing said, noticing the other party's envy was almost on par with that of the Ancient Demon. He quickly reminded them, " Lord Chen, you don't think this is free, do you?"
"What price?" Chen Baifeng, having experienced many big events, quickly calmed down and immediately realized. " Symbiosis?"
Chen Qing smiled and nodded; talking to smart people is so easy.
At this point, the purpose of the Celestial Master Mansion's trial was clear, and the other party's purpose was also becoming clear.
The opposing side has gathered leaders of various factions, for two reasons: firstly, to secretly undermine the foundations of all other factions; and secondly, to establish Symbiosis relationship with these most outstanding individuals in the world, allowing the Ancient Demon Clan to stand proudly before the world!
