Encounter

"Senior sister, someone is trying to break through the formation. It looks like a Nascent Soul Realm," Junior Sister Xue said, stopping her efforts to break the formation and turning around.

Wang Jing glanced behind her, but because the black mist restricted her Divine Sense, she couldn't see anything and could only rely on the array she had left behind to perceive things.

"It seems there's another one at the Half-Step Spirit Severing Realm."

"Senior sister, should we take care of this?"

"Let's ignore them for now and wait for them to arrive. We've already set up a killing formation here anyway."

Half an incense stick later, Shen Ge rushed to the two women. Upon seeing them, Shen Ge's face lit up with joy, and he exclaimed, "Seniors, help me!"

"Nascent Soul Middle Stage, the aura of his Cultivation Method is a bit strange, but his aptitude is quite good." Junior Sister Xue murmured before shouting, "Stop! Don't move!"

Immediately, a powerful pressure immobilized Shen Ge. Shen Ge's expression turned anxious, and he kept turning his head to look behind him, appearing extremely flustered.

But Wang Jing Jingkou didn't care and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

"Senior, that's not important! There are Demon Beast chasing us! Senior, please let me go! I'm in a hurry to escape!" Shen Ge said urgently.

"Demon Beast? Just destroy it." It was nothing more than a Half-Step Spirit Severing Realm Demon Beast, a pig waiting to be slaughtered in their killing formation. Junior Sister Xue waved her hand lightly, and the entire space was instantly filled with killing intent.

"Roar~"

A faint roar then echoed from the black mist behind, clearly indicating that the Evil Demon had been attacked by the formation, and judging from the sound, it seemed to be injured.

"Now, tell me who it is and which faction it belongs to?" Junior Sister Xue asked calmly.

The scream he had just heard seemed to calm Shen Ge's panicked mind. After taking a few deep breaths, he replied, "Seniors, I am just a Rogue Cultivator. I happened to hear that the Demonic Sword Valley had opened and came here to search for treasures. But I didn't expect that I would have attracted an extremely powerful Demon Beast so soon after entering. I am very grateful to you two for saving me this time, otherwise I would probably not have survived."

"Senior Sister, he's Rogue Cultivator," Junior Sister Xue transmitted to Wang Jing. "However, this Rogue Cultivator is quite lucky. The aura of his Cultivation Method is a bit strange, unlike any I'm familiar with. Should we investigate further?"

"Alright, go and investigate. This Cultivation Method might not be so simple," Wang Jing replied.

Shen Ge was unaware that these two women had their eyes on his Samsara Method. He continued, "Seniors, could you release this restriction? Don't worry, you saved my life today. I wouldn't dare say I'd serve you like a slave, but if you need anything, I'll go through fire and water, even at the cost of my life."

The Junior Sister Xue raised the corner of her mouth and chuckled, "Are you really willing to go through fire and water and die without hesitation?"

This made Shen Ge a little uneasy. The Evil Demon was still a bit short of the Nascent Spirit Severing Realm, and he wondered what tricks these two women were up to.

However, Shen Ge still forced himself to reply, "If senior has any needs, I will certainly do my utmost, even at the cost of my life."

"Since that's the case, then you may offer up your Cultivation Method."

The flippant tone startled Shen Ge. He hadn't expected these two women to be interested in his Samsara Method. This made things a bit complicated.

However, he didn't have any good solutions for the time being, so he could only stall for time.

"Um... senior... um... about this Cultivation Method..."

"Stop talking nonsense." Junior Sister Xue said coldly, "Are you going to tell me yourself, or do I need to come and see for myself?"

This tough attitude made Shen Ge's face darken. He said, "You two seniors must be from the Heavenly Sword Sect, right? How could your Heavenly Sword Sect possibly take a fancy to the Cultivation Method of a mere Rogue Cultivator like me?"

"We saved your life, so it's alright if we ask you for something, right? And the only thing that interests me about you is the Cultivation Method you practice," Junior Sister Xue said matter-of-factly.

"Senior, could you please change this?" Shen Ge asked with a troubled expression. "My Cultivation Method isn't actually that good. Compared to the inheritance of your Heavenly Sword Sect, it's just trash."

Seeing that Shen Ge was still dragging his feet, Junior Sister Xue's face showed slight displeasure. She gently beckoned Shen Ge over with her finger.

Looking at the woman so close to him, he could even feel her faint breath on his face, but this erotic scene was something Shen Ge couldn't enjoy.

Seeing that the other party had already raised his hand, Shen Ge hurriedly said, "Senior, senior, please rest. There's no need for you to do it. I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?"

"Oh?" Junior Sister Xue lowered her hand, a smile playing on her lips. "It would have been better if you had been this sensible earlier."

After wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Shen Ge recounted the contents of "Life and Death Art" in his mind, cursing the Evil Demon for being so useless. He had gone through all the trouble to lure that bastard over here, not to watch it get beaten up.

After listening to Shen Ge's retelling, Junior Sister Xue frowned slightly and turned to Wang Jing, saying, "Senior Sister, I feel like I've heard of this Cultivation Method somewhere before."

Without turning his head, Wang Jing, who was breaking the seal, replied, "It's the technique of the Venerable Reincarnation."

She knew what kind of technique it was when Shen Ge was only halfway through his description. The Venerable Reincarnation had left his legacy everywhere, so his Cultivation Method wasn't a secret, and naturally many people knew about it.

However, this Cultivation Method was used by that old man to raise fish. Anyone who cultivates this Cultivation Method will be controlled by him and become his puppet and nourishment. Over the past tens of thousands of years, countless geniuses have become withered bones under his feet. No matter how talented a person is, anyone who cultivates this method will be replaced by that old man once they reach the Spirit Severing Realm.

Over the past tens of thousands of years, that old thing has probably spread throughout the eight domains, with his clones everywhere. As for where his true body is, no one knows.

It can be said that this old man is the most difficult Tribulation Transcendence Realm expert to kill.

Logically speaking, that old man should have already Tribulation Transcendence and ascended to immortality, but he just wouldn't leave, as if he couldn't bear to part with this world.

"The Dharma of the Venerable Reincarnation, then no wonder." Junior Sister Xue turned to look at Shen Ge with a hint of sympathy. She said softly, "Kid, you're quite lucky. But if you still want to be yourself, you shouldn't cultivate anymore. Living peacefully for a thousand years or so would be pretty good for you."

"Senior, are you implying there's a problem with this law?" Shen Ge asked, seizing the opportunity.

"It's not a big problem; it's just that you were replaced after you broke through to the Spirit Severing."

Shen Ge's expression changed. He knew there was something wrong with this law, but he didn't expect it to be this serious. He used to think that this law was just something that the old man had controlled, but it turned out that he had completely taken over it.

Fortunately, he hadn't fully mastered this technique, and Shen Ge couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

Seeing Shen Ge's dark and ugly face, Junior Sister Xue just smiled. There was a solution to this problem: just change to Cultivation Method of the same level. But this was a technique of Venerable Reincarnation in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. Not just anyone or any sect could have a technique of the same level. Their Heavenly Sword Sect's "Sword Heart Instruction" could do it, but that kid probably had no hope of ever coming into contact with a technique of this level.
