Sinful Dragon

Indeed, compared to the ruthless work of modern industry, the ruthless work of the past is nothing!

Moreover, just by glancing at it, Hu Mang could recognize many familiar things: the construction techniques of the new blessed land of Heavenly Gate, the ability to raise ghost children in the Underworld, the use of Snake Vein, the operation of possession, the human body modification of the New Demonic Path, and a whole bunch of other random things.

Jiang Kuisha also wiped her face again, and her cold and beautiful features returned to normal. The red veil on her body once again covered her beautiful flesh.

So what is your relationship?

"I am Jiang Kuisha, but I am only one of Jiang Kuisha. Besides me, there are many other Jiang Kuisha, and when all of us Jiang Kuisha unite, we become the true form of Jiang Kuisha."

Hu Mang did not detect that the other party was lying through the Heavenly Devil Field. Of course, after this experience, he was no longer 100% certain about the Heavenly Devil Field.

Who knows what kind of brain modification technology they might pull out this time?

So he simply asked directly:

"You don't seem to be under any Divine Sense seal, or are you lying, or is it a truth that's nine parts truth and one part falsehood?"

If the other party really is Jiang Kuisha's clone, would they just reveal such an important secret so easily?

Jiang Kuisha revealed her alluring smile again, "I told you, I am Jiang Kuisha, not a possessed body, not an avatar, but an incarnation, so why would I place a restriction on myself?"

"Besides, even if I told you, would you really dare to go to my true form and confront that Sinful Dragon?"

"Sinful Dragon" is yet another new term.

The Hu Mang pondered for a moment, then asked, "So, what is the current state of your true form?"

"She is asleep. She needs us to find things evolved from Dragon Vein from all over the world to feed her so that she can evolve further."

"So, you Celestial Person who raise Private Dragon, in the end, you end up turning yourselves into Private Dragon?"

Hu Mang was still somewhat incredulous.

"Different Sinful Dragon take different paths. I've only followed this one path to dragon transformation; other Sinful Dragon have other ways to achieve it."

"How strong are you Sinful Dragon?"

"According to your Heavenly Gate's standards, this Spirit Transformation."

Are there many Sinful Dragon like you?

"Have no idea."

"You do not know?"

Jiang Kuisha remained smiling, as if her previous fear had been nothing but an illusion.

"My memories are only related to the Golden Core. As for higher-level memories, they are all sealed within my physical body. In my hazy memories, I do know other Sinful Dragon, but I really don't know who they are or how many there are."

"You can also use demonic techniques to search my memories, but be careful, it wouldn't be good if you alerted her."

The Hu Mang licked its gums, its pupils narrowed slightly, a hint of oil glistening in them, and then asked an important question.

"What would happen to her if I killed you right now?"

"My memories will be transmitted back to my original body. She won't be affected now, but once she awakens, she will most likely come looking for revenge, because killing me will make her even more incomplete."

Why does this guy seem a bit like a tough nut to crack?

Hu Mang raised his eyebrows, about to say something, but was interrupted by the other party.

"Of course, we can cooperate. You have the Dragon Vein, so you can become one of us," Jiang Kuisha offered.

"I don't see any benefit in becoming one of you," Hu Mang said directly.

"Hehe, don't be so quick to refuse. You're from Heavenly Gate, so you must know the countless sins we've committed. But you may not know much about your own secrets."

"For example, the modern cultivation boom created by your Heavenly Gate has a fatal flaw," Jiang Kuisha said with a smile.

"The industrial Spiritual Qi you create cannot increase lifespan."

Can't it increase lifespan?

Hu Mang frowned, about to say something, but suddenly stopped talking.

"It seems you've also thought of something. To date, the New Heavenly Gate has only been established for 60 years, and opened to the outside world for only 30 years. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the oldest group of cultivators were no more than sixty years old."

"But think about it, things are alright now, but in 10 or 20 years, if those Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation within the Heavenly Gate knew that their lifespans would be less than two Jiazi (60 years), and the Five Signs of Decay of Celestial Person and Man descended, wouldn't these figures, who were comparable to immortals, Buddhas, and saints in ancient times, go mad? At that time, if the higher-ups had any designs on it, would the Heavenly Gate's rock-solid rule still be shaken?"

Hu Mang, on the contrary, calmed down and said, "So, we can't live long, but you can?"

"That's right," Jiang Kuisha answered without hesitation, her tone carrying an almost proud certainty. "As long as we merge with the Dragon Vein and transform into Sinful Dragon, our lifespan will be the same as the lifespan of the Dragon Vein. You should know that nearly three hundred years have passed since the Old Heavenly Gate. Three hundred years of trials and tribulations, three hundred years of turmoil, the rise and fall of countless forces, and the turning of countless cultivators into dust; and most of us Sinful Dragon came from that era. We witnessed the destruction of the Old Heavenly Gate, the rise of the New Heavenly Gate, and countless ebb and flow. The reason we have survived until now is because of the Dragon Vein!"

Jiang Kuisha stared directly into Hu Mang's eyes, a strange light gleaming in those blue artificial eyes. "So no matter how you think we are deviant, perverse, or terrifying, as long as we live long enough, no problem will remain a problem. Morality? Ethics? Humanity? Those are things only short-lived ghosts care about. For us, living itself is the meaning; everything else is merely a tool to serve that."

Hu Mang instinctively wanted to open his mouth to argue, but quickly laughed again.

"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Kuisha, puzzled.

"Even if what you say is true, the number of Dragon Vein you possess should be less than a fraction of what New Heavenly Gate has, otherwise you wouldn't need to go to such lengths to search for things evolved from Dragon Vein."

Jiang Kuisha immediately fell silent.

"Alright, I'm not here to argue with you, and I don't really want to know the specifics of how you operate. You're making me a bit of a problem right now. If I kill you now, your true form might actually come looking for trouble with me, just like you said."

"But if I don't kill you, I won't feel at peace. After all, you were the one who tried to kill me and steal my treasure first. So, do you have any good ideas on how to resolve this? If all else fails, I'll just have to kill you first and then go back to Heavenly Gate to lay low. You're just a Spirit Transformation, do you really have the guts to storm Heavenly Gate? Just because of a clone?"

Jiang Kuisha's expression tightened. After a moment of silence, she said, "Can I offer you compensation?"

"What compensation? Those cyber Law Artifact with huge side effects and numerous backup plans?"

"Then what do you want? I'm just an avatar, and I only have a limited number of good things. Unless you let me go back."

Jiang Kuisha looked at the other person nervously. Although he was truly a pervert, he was also genuinely afraid of death.

The Hu Mang looked up at the sky, pondered for a while, and then suddenly laughed:

"Don't give me those weird gadgets of yours; I wouldn't dare use them anyway. But I've heard you're experts among experts when it comes to indulging in self-destruction and extravagance. How about providing me with some toys, specifically for dual cultivation?"

Jiang Kuisha left.

Hu Mang played with the box containing the "Flesh and Blood Golden Core," his expression turning calm.

As the other party said, this kind of cyber monster is hard to kill and hard to release. He could kill someone and then sneak back to the Heavenly Gate, join the Underworld Bureau, and enjoy high-ranking positions and great wealth.

But this also means that he has to basically abandon his ideas for overseas projects.

He prefers the latter.

So, let's ask for some benefits and release this perverted woman.

Of course, there are risks involved in releasing it, such as the other side sending a large group of "Jiang Kuisha" to compete with you for the Dragon Vein.

But as long as the opponent doesn't reach the Spirit Transformation, relying on the ghost ship, you can still escape.

Moreover, cooperation between the two sides is not impossible.

For example, according to the other party, her true self will awaken sooner or later, and at that time, the consciousness of the avatar will return to the true self on its own initiative.

But she won't be the only incarnation. When that time comes, there will be a "battle of Jiang Kuisha," and whoever is the final victor will take the lead in the original consciousness.

Perhaps at that time, she will still cooperate with him.

Whether or not we cooperate is another matter; just keeping the other party on tenterhooks is enough.

The Hu Mang looked at the "Flesh and Blood Golden Core".

"It's a good thing I didn't research this thing, otherwise it would have been another trap."

Seemingly to show her sincerity, Jiang Kuisha proactively revealed the back door of the "Flesh and Blood Golden Core".

The other party did not lie about the effects and side effects of this "Golden Core," but the problem is that this thing did not come from Jiang Kuisha body, but from another Sinful Dragon.

According to Jiang Kuisha, if the Flesh and Blood Golden Core is implanted and its side effects are satisfied, one's cultivation will rise steadily without any hindrance, breaking through to the mid-stage, late-stage, and even forming a nascent Nascent Soul.

The moment you condense your Nascent Soul, you will be possessed by another flesh-and-blood Sinful Dragon and become its resources.

In a sense, this is similar to raising a ghostly accomplice.

"You people, instead of scheming and plotting, why don't you focus on advancing your technology? You've controlled the Old Heavenly Gate for hundreds of years, with so many resources, yet you can't even break through to the Spirit Transformation stage. This 'Sinful Dragon' was forced to break through outside the Heavenly Gate, probably using a lot of the Heavenly Gate's technological methods. What am I supposed to say about you?"

The Hu Mang muttered to itself.

But to put it simply, the biggest reason why Hu Mang let the other party leave was that he currently lacked the means to control them.

If he had the opportunity, he could even attempt a reverse intrusion, especially during the period when Jiang Kuisha form was asleep—that would be a rare chance!

Not only were these Celestial Person interested in the Ghost Dragon Vein in his possession, but he was also very interested in their methods of "raising Private Dragon."

However, it's not that he truly lacks relevant methods.

For example, the Nine Child-Mother Heavenly Devils and the Three Yin Life and Death Talisman, two of the five great demonic Divine Ability, would be a devastating blow to the demonic forces of the Azure Mysterious Realm if placed overseas.
