A Misunderstanding, What a Stubborn Tsundere!
Gu Xuanzhen had no intention of fighting Qin Lu to the death. Having lived for over a thousand years, he was considered young among Nascent Soul cultivators...
He still has a long life ahead of him, and he doesn't want to die so young!
not to mention--
Qin Wu had done him a favor, and he had no intention of truly harming Qin Lu. He wanted to explain things clearly as soon as possible and have Qin Lu find a suitable body for him...
That's the most important thing right now!
at this time--
When Qin Lu returned to Qin Island with Haiyue, he immediately ordered the activation of the island's protective formation and began to examine Qin Wu...
After a short while, Qin Lu's expression relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Wu didn't die, but his sea of Divine Sense was severely damaged. However, it has stabilized and he is currently in a state similar to suspended animation...
The lost sea of Divine Sense can be gradually replenished through various means.
The Qin Clan possesses the Awakening Soul Tea Tree; with prolonged consumption of the tea leaves, Qin Wu will eventually recover to his original state. However, Qin Wu...
A blessing in disguise!
On the contrary, his cultivation level, under the forceful infusion of a massive amount of Dao Law, leaped to the Dao Foundation Ninth Layer Perfection, reaching the Dao Foundation Extreme Realm...
Once Qin Wu recovers and familiarizes himself with his power, then we'll make further preparations...
Within thirty years, the Qin Clan might produce a second Core Formation True Person, giving them a greater chance of launching a counterattack against the Northern Continent...
It could be several points bigger!
but--
Judging from Qin Wu's condition, this unfamiliar Nascent Soul expert...
Perhaps there was truly no hostility, and what was said earlier was all true. If that's the case, then it would be like the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple...
but.
Qin Lu showed no remorse. He might not have much affection left for his grandchildren, but his seven sons were the exception...
It was his Achilles' heel that he absolutely could not touch!
Anyone who touches his son, Qin Lu will deal with them! Even if they are as powerful as Nascent Soul Spirit Transformation, if there is any opportunity, Qin Lu will tear them to pieces!
But right now--
Since this Nascent Soul True Lord has no hostility...
Those who come here to find him must have something to ask of him!
"Haiyue, just in case, you take the children and leave first. Activate the teleportation array and get the core members out of here as much as possible..."
"Don't worry, this Nascent Soul can't kill me."
"I made a backup. Even if this body dies completely, I can reincarnate in another body. Let me first see what this Nascent Soul's purpose is..."
"I'll contact you again once it's completely safe."
"If my backup plan fails, then I beg you to hand over my people to the Qing Centipede, and you..."
"After I die, you may leave on your own without any burden, for the sake of our one-night stand..."
"I'm leaving everything to you."
Having said that--
Qin Lu's expression changed, as if he had once again become the ruthless and indifferent ancestor of the Great Qin Dynasty. The next moment, his figure instantly became ethereal...
In the blink of an eye...
They had already arrived above Qin Island. Looking at the Nascent Soul waiting in the distance, Qin Lu dared not approach them even an inch, even though a Fourth-Tier grand formation separated them...
Qin Lu had no doubt that his opponent was capable of killing him with a single blow!
"Yo!"
"So you're finally willing to come out and communicate?"
"See? I didn't lie to you. That child has great talent. Why would I slaughter our Human Race's prodigies?"
"Look at you, you little brat, you've got quite a temper!"
"You threatened to destroy my Nascent Soul with just a word, but alas..."
"You are very strong, and you have indeed injured me. I also know the background of your Qin Clan, the Beichuan Qin Family, and the power of the Great Zhou State of the Northern Continent..."
"I am Gu Xuanzhen, one of the three great Weapon Ancestor of Sword Ancestor from the Longlife Ancient Kingdom Gu Xuanzhen!"
Daoist title: True Lord Mystic Sword!
"I have guarded the Northern Continent for over three hundred years. Young man, is this how you treat the Human Race who have protected the Northern Continent for hundreds of years?"
"Tsk tsk~"
"You disrespectful child, I'll spare you this time, out of your eagerness to save your son..."
"Give me a Golden Core body, and I'll forgive your rudeness. Don't be afraid, though; I truly meant no harm..."
Do you think you could have survived until now?
"At first glance, you're enough for me to kill you a thousand times over!"
Having said that--
Gu Xuanzhen gave a soft snort, looking utterly arrogant...
Seeing his straightforward and honest tone, Qin Lu was momentarily unsure of what to do. It seemed, maybe, perhaps he had really hit the wrong person...
After hesitating for a long time--
Seeing the Nascent Soul disintegrating more and more rapidly, Gu Xuanzhen became anxious and pointed, a strand of sword thread...
It pierced through the great formation in an instant!
In the blink of an eye, the sword thread was already pointing right in front of Qin Lu's eyes, just centimeters away, and it would pierce through Qin Lu's forehead!
You better believe me!
"If I really wanted to kill you, you'd be dead already!"
Seeing this situation--
Qin Lu breathed a sigh of relief, finally admitting Qi Ingestion, but his Golden Core physical body...
He actually has three!
These are the physical bodies of the Nether Sha True Person, the Fairy Joy, and the Mystic Sword True Person, but the body of the Mystic Sword True Person is the most perfect...
Qin Lu had already refined it into a second body!
This refers to the backup Qin Lu mentioned earlier: once his main body dies, a portion of his remnant soul will be reborn in the body of Mystic Sword True Person...
By then, a perfect physical body combined with Soul Dao techniques!
His combat strength might not be much weaker than his original form; in fact, his physical body might even be stronger than it is now...
As for the other two Golden Core bodies...
Qin Lu didn't use it for the time being; the original plan was to have Qin Mingzheng refine it as raw material to try and refine Core Formation puppet...
It seems we have no choice but to abandon one of them.
Qin Lu then threw out two corpses, one an old man with stitches on his neck and missing parts of his flesh...
Another one--
She is a woman, and although her body is intact and young, its strength is considerably lower, and being a woman...
This put Gu Xuanzhen in a difficult position.
Good heavens, if you're going to offer a body, then offer one properly! A disabled old man, a woman's body—how is he supposed to choose?
Gu Xuanzhen knew that Qin Lu should possess the corpse of another Mystic Sword True Person, who shared the same title as him, but since Qin Lu refused to give it to him...
That clearly shows they still have some reservations about him!
However, several years have passed, and it may have been consumed or...
If he could obtain that physical body, it probably wouldn't be long before he could recover his cultivation and truly return to the combat power of the Nascent Soul Realm...
And right now.
He had no choice but to make do. Thinking of this, Gu Xuanzhen ultimately didn't choose to be a woman; it was too beautiful...
He couldn't bear to imagine it, so he had no choice but to choose this crippled old body...
Then--
Gu Xuanzhen turned to Qin Lu and said, "This body is only temporary. We will find you a better one later..."
"Your Qin Clan will certainly reap the benefits in the future!"
(To clarify, Qin Lu is a soul cultivator with many ways to protect himself. Qin Lu has never lost his mind; anything he dares to do is something he is confident in.)
(Furthermore, besides the body of Mystic Sword True Person, there are several other backup bodies at the Dao Foundation level. You can also refer to Chapter 247, which details Qin Lu's various abilities...)
