Chapter 673: Rebirth Through Possession

Li Hui walked to the foot of the altar and saw a palm-sized, colorful Round Mirror, with two swirling streams of black and white qi, sixteen drops of radiant blood, and a Dao Text that was crumbling to ashes.

“Tian Tun Mirror, Tai Chi’s true spirit, blood of Great Luo Golden Immortals, and the yin talisman text,” the silver snake said lightly, and then its figure disappeared, erasing all traces to prevent future troubles.

“Siblings mending the sky, only to fall short at the last step!”

Li Hui felt regret for the silver snake. After escaping for so many years, it still could not escape its fate. It should have been easier for it to transform into a Dark Immortal than those Departed Immortals. However, it chose to let itself perish and sever all ties with the outer world, keeping its Dao heart untainted.

“Good! I will do my utmost to complete the Creation Jade Plate.” As soon as he spoke, the Tian Tun Mirror began to hum, and countless silver and black stripes appeared on its surface, generating immense talisman power.

“This mirror…” Li Hui activated Bai Ze’s divine eye to observe, astonished: “What a marvelous treasure mirror! It has been transformed through strange methods to turn an immortal tool into an artifact, capable of carrying the Tian Kui Lantern as the core of Mufeng City. This will surely protect the region during the calamity.”

“Boom!” The ground shook, and the altar turned to dust.

The altar was now useless, and gathering fragments of spirit treasures to enhance the talisman power would be accomplished by the Tian Tun Mirror. During this time, he could secretly transfer the power of creation to the silver snake bracelet, concealing the mystery from the outside world.

“What happened?” The Two Spirit Treasures looked at the front in surprise.

“Nothing, just a little accident. Now you can leave the Ancient Tomb,” Li Hui smiled, saying, “After being cooped up for so long, go enjoy yourselves in the city! Also, the demonic creatures you nurtured can come out to live in the city; you don’t need to worry about any cultivators subduing them. Anyone who dares to touch you can be chased out of the city.”

Li Longhua spun around in excitement, saying, “Wonderful! After waiting so long, today has finally come. Dingjun and I want to go explore the city.”

Li Hui nodded and said, “Leave the Ancient Tomb to me! With the Tian Tun Mirror guarding it, there will be no blind spots in Mufeng City.”

“Yes!” The Two Spirit Treasures happily left.

The Ancient Tomb opened just a small corner, allowing the demons to go out and play.

Before long, Li Hui arrived at an ice wall, where he saw Tianyi and Tian Zhu sitting inside, their faces waxy and their lips black, the six hundred years of frozen souls trying to suppress the poison, yet they still could not avoid the toxin seeping into their spines.

“There’s no saving them, but they can be reborn by possessing other bodies.” Li Hui reached out, grasping the two delicate forms—Hao Yue Lin and Hao Yue Chen.

“Boom!” Sword aura sliced through the ice wall, precisely piercing the foreheads of Tianyi and Tian Zhu, forcibly extracting their already weakened souls and sending them into Hao Yue Lin and Hao Yue Chen’s bodies.

Just as he was completing this, Tianyi and Tian Zhu’s bodies fell apart, and the terrifying toxin spread, beginning to taint everything around.

“What a fearsome toxin, but it’s not enough to deal with me,” Li Hui said coldly, taking out three fist-sized black beetles. He dipped a finger in the Immortal Blood and drew blood-colored symbols on the beetles’ heads, then pointed at them and shouted, “Urgently as per the decree, swift!”

In an instant, the three black beetles crumbled to dust. From the ashes, three insect shadows emerged, floating away from Mufeng City towards the ocean.

Li Hui wanted to dig deep into the hidden hand behind this. With these three insect shadows out, it would be enough for the enemy to feel the pressure, and he wouldn’t rest until he extracted a heavy toll in lives.

After sending away the insect shadows, he circled around Hao Yue Chen and Hao Yue Lin. Now, Tianyi and Tian Zhu would be reborn through their bodies. To prevent future trouble on their cultivation journey, great effort was essential.

“Did the silver snake anticipate this moment?” Li Hui took out Tai Chi’s true spirit, pondering the swirling black and white qi: “To ensure Tianyi and Tian Zhu can possess and integrate perfectly without leaving behind any issues, using Tai Chi’s true spirit is optimal. They have done a great service returning Li Gui. No matter how good the items might be, they must be utilized; this belongs to Tianyi and Tian Zhu’s creation.”

Thinking of this, he dipped a finger in the blood of Great Luo Golden Immortals, using over five drops, leaving many marks inside the Tai Chi’s true spirit. He then slapped it against the two delicate bodies, commanding, “Go.”

“Buzz, buzz, buzz…” Hao Yue Lin and Hao Yue Chen’s bodies trembled as the black and white qi rapidly swelled, wrapping around them completely.

Li Hui made some additional arrangements to ensure the two could awaken quickly and then loudly called, “Shrimp Ball, come here! I will reshape your body.”

“Master, you’ve finally returned!” The East Pearl rolled out, reflecting the image of the plump shrimp soldier.

“Hehe, enough chatter. Do you want to remain a demon or become a human? This is a rare opportunity. I still have ten drops of blood from the Great Luo Golden Immortals. I will use them swiftly to avoid trouble and attract the attention of Dark Immortals.”

“Ah? Blood of the Great Luo Golden Immortals? What qualifications do I have…” Shrimp Ball began, seeing Li Hui about to take the Immortal Blood away, and hurriedly pleaded, “Master, please have mercy! I want to be a demon.”

“Alright!” Li Hui selected a drop of blood with a strange spiral pattern from the ten drops and said, “This one, it hides demonic traits, perfect for demon cultivation. Fortunately, the silver snake cleansed it thoroughly, else this drop could summon half a Dark Immortal, leading to a catastrophe for the living. Has the silver snake always been suppressing the Dark Immortals?”

At this moment, the silver snake was gone, and it was difficult to uncover what it had done.

Li Hui sighed lightly, dismissing all stray thoughts, and took out dozens of demon talismans to place inside the East Pearl that carried Shrimp Ball, proceeding with care in his arrangements.

Two hours later, a thunderous roar erupted from within the East Pearl, as a demon beast with the body of a turtle and the tail of a snake began to take shape, its aura surging forth, and soon the roar transformed into an exclamation: “Ah! Incredible! I actually became a Xuanwu! Did this drop of blood come from the True Martial Emperor?”

There were still nine drops of blood from the Great Luo Golden Immortals, along with a drop of Huang Long’s true dragon blood, which Li Hui carefully sealed away.

During these two hours, he did not waste time, drawing many time talismans and affixing them to the yin talisman text that was about to turn to ashes. At this moment, the time began to reverse, and the Great Achievement of the Dao Fruit rapidly inscribed the scriptures.

Just as the Great Achievement of the Dao Fruit imprinted the final scripture, the yin talisman text completely vanished and would no longer appear in the world.

Li Hui ignored the shouting Shrimp Ball and focused on examining this scripture, feeling its vast depth. He realized that in the path of talismans, it exceeded the Dragon Spring Purple Talisman Classic, being the overarching guide to talismanry before the calamity of immortals, from which countless talismans evolved.

“Incredible! The Heart Talisman’s Great Achievement of the Dao Fruit can become even stronger. By removing the parts of the yin talisman text that are incompatible with today’s world, I can refine the Dragon Spring Purple Talisman Classic; it can also simplify the Heart Talisman, making it exceptionally close to the Dao and have a chance to transform into the Dao Fruit.”

At that moment, Hao Yue Lin and Hao Yue Chen began to breathe, slowly opening their eyes in disbelief that they were still alive, and…

“Ah! Why have I become a part of the Human Race?” Hao Yue Lin felt around her body and sighed with relief, saying, “Fortunately, it’s not much different from our Qingfu tribe, but why is my chest so large?”

“You… you are Sister Tianyi?” Hao Yue Chen sat up groggily, her spiritual sense telling her that the human practitioner in front of her was indeed Tianyi.

Li Hui carefully scanned them, nodding in satisfaction, saying, “Perfectly aligned! Truly a rare treasure among the various realms. Your cultivation has reached the Late Stage of the Traveling Realm, harmonizing Yin and Yang to form a celestial deity instead of a Yang God. Once you wash away the murky qi of Tai Chi’s true spirit, you can advance to Void Ascension!”
