Chapter 206 Joy
"Furnace..."
Tao Tao was very surprised. Weren't they husband and wife? How could they be so cruel? Weren't they planning to ruin her?
Of course, Tao Tao didn't ask these questions aloud. She could sense the hatred and pain in Yuan Ying's tone, and if she said anything more, she might get herself into trouble.
"I was tormented by that demonic cultivator for three hundred years. Fortunately, after three hundred years of getting along, he gradually trusted me, which gave me the opportunity to strike. When he had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and was consolidating his foundation, I risked being devoured by the backlash and being completely destroyed, and locked away his cultivation. I made him grovel at my feet and suffer endless torment. Do you know what the nutrients under the ice lotus in this vast sea are? It's him. His cultivation, his spiritual root, and his primordial spirit will forever become the nutrients of the ice lotus, and he will be trapped here forever!"
She became increasingly manic, suddenly standing up and laughing loudly, "Hahahaha, this is his fate, but that's not enough, far from enough! And him, do you know what happened to my husband? I turned him into flower mud, hahahahaha! He thought obtaining a secret technique would allow him to break through? What a fool! With his talent, reaching the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage was already incredibly lucky, yet he dared to dream of ascension? Dream on!"
"Hua Ni?" Tao Tao was shocked, realizing that her mother was acting strangely and her emotions were very unstable. Hearing Tao Tao's voice, the Nascent Soul's smile deepened, and he said with amusement, "That's right, it's Hua Ni. Of course, that's just his physical body. I also extracted his primordial spirit and refined it into a magic artifact, which is the Thousand Threads of Tribulation that's trapping you and absorbing your power. He said he would stay by my side forever, and now he's done it..."
"Should it stay by my side like this?" It sounded rather frightening. Tao Tao glanced at the white threads around her and couldn't help but swallow. She carefully released her primordial spirit to examine it and found that it was indeed a magic weapon refined from her primordial spirit. The key was that the other party's divine consciousness was still there, and the nascent soul had not erased it.
It must be said that this kind of revenge is the cruelest. He can only be used as a magic weapon forever. Although he has self-awareness, he cannot even resist. How can this not be a great humiliation and punishment?
But this is his own fault. If he had really done what he said and lived a good life with his wife, how could he have ended up like this?
Tao Tao didn't know what to say, feeling that anything she said would be wrong, so she could only remain silent. Yuan Ying wasn't angry either; she seemed to feel much better after saying these words. In fact, she didn't care how much Tao Tao had taken in; she was just venting.
Just then, Tao Tao felt that the power in his body had been almost exhausted and he could no longer sustain the nascent soul to continue absorbing. The nascent soul noticed this and waved its hand, causing the threads around Tao Tao to slowly fade away.
At the same time, she tossed Tao Tao a pill, saying, "Eat this, and we'll continue after you recover."
"How did you get your injuries? You're already a Nascent Soul cultivator; normally, ordinary cultivators shouldn't be your match." Tao Tao asked, puzzled, as he took the pill and regulated his breathing.
From what she just said, Tao Tao could tell that she wasn't entirely a bad person. Maybe they could communicate with her, and she was definitely better than Zhao Qingfeng.
"At that time, I devoured the demonic cultivator's nascent soul with my cultivation at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage. This was a defiance of the heavens and was bound to cause a backlash. Although I plundered many forbidden techniques from him and mastered them, it was too difficult to maintain them. The only thing I could do was to increase my cultivation as quickly as possible. If I were to ascend to immortality, perhaps there would be a way to save me."
"But if that's the case, why did you only leave the Nascent Soul?"
"I was already suffering from backlash, and with the addition of practicing forbidden techniques, I couldn't retain much spiritual power in my body. Any spiritual power that flowed into me was like a mud ox entering the sea, unable to be absorbed or utilized by me. In order to prolong my life, I had no choice but to destroy my physical body and cultivate in the form of a nascent soul. This way, I could reduce the backlash. As for the injury you mentioned, it was actually a backlash. At least in my opinion, ordinary nascent soul cultivators couldn't hurt me at all."
She was extremely confident and didn't take other Nascent Soul cultivators seriously at all. But that makes sense; she was able to devour the Nascent Soul of a Nascent Soul cultivator single-handedly at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage. One can imagine how ruthless she was, so how could she be afraid of others with the same cultivation level as herself?
"If that's the case, why are you working for Zhao Qingfeng? Logically speaking, he shouldn't be a match for you." Tao Tao suddenly tilted her head and asked. She deliberately brought up Zhao Qingfeng to test the relationship between the two of them.
Hearing this, the Nascent Soul sneered, "Little guy, you don't need to test me. Zhao Qingfeng and I are just mutually beneficial. He wants to cultivate demonic arts, so naturally he needs my guidance. I also want to find a quiet place to cultivate, and he can provide me with some spiritual energy. Tell me, what reason do I have to refuse?"
It turns out it's a mutually beneficial relationship, that makes things easier.
Suddenly, Tao Tao's eyes lit up, and she smiled sweetly, asking, "If I can provide you with more spiritual energy for your cultivation, can you cooperate with me?"
"What right do you, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, have to negotiate with me?"
"Don't underestimate me, a Foundation Establishment cultivator. I have some treasures that even Zhao Qingfeng might not have. Have you ever heard of Spirit Marrow? It's far more precious than spiritual power and much more useful for your cultivation."
"Spiritual essence?"
As expected, she knew. The Nascent Soul immediately widened its eyes, stepped to the side and stood in front of Tao Tao, pinching Tao Tao's chin with its chubby hand, and asked coldly, "You have spiritual marrow? This is not easy to obtain."
"I have quite a lot of them. I wonder if I'm qualified to negotiate with you?"
"You're quite arrogant. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you and take your spiritual essence?"
"Don't worry, because that thing isn't on me. You saw it yourself, my storage bracelet and pet pouch are gone. They were all taken by Zhao Qingfeng. If you want the spirit marrow, you have to help me get them back first."
"So that's what you were planning? Interesting. But how can you prove you have spiritual essence? I'm not going to fight a Nascent Soul cultivator for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, especially since he's still useful to me."
As expected, the other party was wary and wouldn't easily believe her. In order to leave and get her things back, Tao Tao was determined to fight no matter what. So she said, "I swear on my soul that if I lie to you, may my soul perish."
"Alright, I'll believe you for now. Even if you really lied to me, I can still annihilate your soul without a soul oath. Little one, tell me your name."
"Happy and carefree".
Tao Tao was quite frank and introduced himself directly. Since things had come to this point, there was no point in hiding his name.
"My name is Huan Yan, you can call me Senior Huan."
