Chapter 1224 Dispute, Compromise

However, after the threat from the Burial King, he suddenly remembered something.

He found that even if the Burial King let him go, it would be useless because he didn't know the Dao at all.

Even if this dead land did not move and was still in the original position, he could only return by following the secret marks he left along the way. He could only rely on luck to find a second way back to the human world in the unfamiliar void. And his recent luck was obviously not very good, otherwise he would not have found the right way but sent himself to the Burial King.

Thinking of this, Li Chu was a little discouraged. He raised his sword and hesitated to put it down. After a long time, he sighed, sheathed the sword, and sat in the air, his face full of depression.

He confused the Burial King by doing this. He was gritting his teeth and vowed not to give up just now, how could he be so depressed in the blink of an eye?

Give up?

The Burial King frowned secretly.

His intuition told him that Li Chuyi should not be a person who gives up easily, otherwise this kid would not be able to come up with such a vicious method of destroying the three realms, and it is even more impossible for him to reject him again and again.

Although Li Chuyi's giving up was in line with his heart, he always suspected that the other party was holding back other ghosts. After observing for a long time and seeing that Li Chuyi opened his dead fish eyes and did not speak, the King of Zang thought for a moment and then tried in a deep voice: "What, are you not running away?"

The little fat man looked up at the sky with his dead fish eyes.

The King of Zang was more suspicious. He carefully checked several times to confirm that there was nothing unusual in the dead place, but his suspicious character made him unable to let it go. He tried again and again in various ways, and finally forced the depressed little fat man to be anxious, puffing his cheeks and cursing.

"What are you arguing about! I'm tired, can't I leave if I don't want to? You are a chatterbox. You asked so many times. Is it because no one has spoken for too long that you are crazy?"

Not leaving?

The King of Zang panicked.

His purpose of holding Li Chuyi hostage was to escape from his predicament and leave here, not to have more companions to relieve boredom by glaring at each other. The death energy in Li Chuyi's body was purer and richer than the one he produced himself. He believed that as long as he had the help of this death energy, he would be able to reach the end of death and be reborn.

It's not that he hadn't thought about robbing it, but the two attempts just now ended in failure. Not only did he fail to rob a bit of his own death energy, but a lot of his own death energy was assimilated and absorbed by the other party. Fortunately, Li Chuyi's practice was not high, and he didn't know the ghost method of refining death energy. Assimilation was just an instinctive counterattack after his body was eroded by the strange death energy. Otherwise, the King of Zang would never dare to keep him now and would have driven him out of this world long ago.

Now that Li Chuyi said he would not leave, how could the King of Zang not be anxious. Not to mention whether Yanming's original body would chase his body here after escaping from the predicament, the King of Zang was secretly frightened by the instinctive assimilation of the death energy in his body to the death energy of the dead land.

It was just instinct, and the assimilation speed was very slow, so it would not have any impact in a short time. But if Li Chuyi really didn't leave and stayed here for a long time, King Zang had a headache thinking about the result.

Every bit of dead air in the dead land was his Dao fruit, the cornerstone of his death and rebirth, and every bit could be the key to success or failure. Now that he had let the wolf into his house and was stolen like this, it was infuriating that the thief was still unaware, and he couldn't tell the truth, King Zang was so depressed.

He really wanted to slap this kid to death, but he couldn't do it with his current means, and that would be equivalent to helping the other party speed up the assimilation speed. King Zang was angry and depressed, and afraid that Li Chuyi would see something, so he didn't dare to show it. He could only think silently and rack his brains to figure out how to resolve the embarrassing situation in front of him.

"How about this? You help me to be reborn. After I escape, I will not only join hands with you, but also give you an extra peerless holy method as a reward, and at the same time, we will conclude a soul contract as a constraint. Are you willing to accept such sincerity?"

The Burial King proposed again. Li Chuyi, who was full of depression, replied without thinking: "No!"

After that, he became curious again, looked at the tombstone with a squint and asked: "Peerless holy method, what kind of skill is so powerful?"

Originally, he was upset by being confronted, but when he heard him ask this, the Burial King was immediately happy and hurriedly said: "The Immortal Scripture! The supreme classic that the immortals in the immortal world can only dream of but cannot obtain, you should know it, right?"

"Tsk, what was I thinking, it turned out to be this."

Li Chuyi's face was disgusted.

I have the "Tao Classic" in my hand, which is the supreme true teaching of Sanyuan Taoist. What "Immortal Scripture" and "Ghost Scripture" are not as powerful as the "Tao Classic".

But on second thought, Li Chuyi was a little moved again.

Although the Daoist Canon is powerful, it is too difficult and obscure, especially about how to cultivate the extremely yin forces such as Yinming Death Qi. He can't comprehend the slightest clue, otherwise the death qi in his body would never be so rampant.

Now that King Zang can take out the Immortal Scripture, he may have read the Ghost Scripture. Even the Taoist priests have looked for the Ghost Scripture to learn from it. Maybe the Ghost Scripture has a way to solve the current dilemma.

Thinking of this, Li Chuyi said calmly: "I am not interested in the Immortal Scripture. Do you have the Ghost Scripture? If you lend me the Ghost Scripture, maybe I will change my mind."

"What do you want the Ghost Scripture for? You are not a ghost cultivator!"

King Zang was startled and immediately alert.

Did this kid see something?

How could Li Chuyi know this? Hearing this, he curled his lips and pointed at himself, snorting and laughing self-deprecatingly: "Human cultivator? Old Zang, look at me now. How can I look like a human now?"

King Zang was silent.

If he didn't know Li Chuyi well, he would have thought that Li Chuyi was a living dead who had achieved some success in his cultivation.

After a moment, the Zang King said in a deep voice: "I have the Ghost Scripture, but I can't give it to you."

"Why?" Li Chuyi was immediately unhappy.

Having prepared an excuse long ago, the Zang King explained calmly: "I know what you want to do, but I want to tell you that the Ghost Scripture can't help you. The Ghost Scripture is a classic for ghost practitioners to comprehend. It can help you refine the dead energy for your own use, but just like human methods can't refine ghost power, no matter how deeply you comprehend the Ghost Scripture, you can't reconcile the life and death balance in your body. Unless you can surpass me and reach the state of rebirth from the dead, I don't know how many years it will take to reach that state. Before that, your practice of ghost will only make your condition worse and worse, and even cause your immortal body to change, and you can no longer have both life and death, but only death energy. At that time, even if there is a way to reconcile, you can't use it, because you have become a living dead, and there is no vitality in your body."

Half true and half false, a bunch of nonsense, but Li Chuyi believed it.

He actually didn't know much about the immortal body. Apart from knowing that he could be resurrected from the dead without entering the cycle of reincarnation, he didn't know much about other aspects.

The Taoist priest had been trying his best to suppress his death energy so that he could live normally and practice the human way, so he didn't know or think about whether he could practice life and death together. It was not until the death energy burst out this time that the "Tao Canon" was forced to reveal a little clue of the other side, and he realized that he might have another way to go.

But he still didn't know how to go on this road, at least ordinary ghost cultivation techniques shouldn't help him. I thought the "Ghost Sutra" might be able to help, but the King of Burial shattered his fantasy, which made him very discouraged and depressed, but he didn't doubt him.

Who is the King of Burial?

He was rebuilt twice and possessed the three ways of human, demon and ghost. In the historical records of the human world that have been preserved to the present, there are introductions about him. In addition to the fierce reputation of daring to fight the three realms of heaven, there is also admiration and respect for him.

To this day, he is the only cultivator who has reached the state of perfection after two re-cultivations and possessed the power of the three paths of human, demon and ghost. There have been many effective imitators, but all of them ended in failure.

Not to mention changing to the cultivation method of other races, even if they have to re-cultivate the cultivation method of their own race, the price is that more than 90% of the people have lost their lives. Among the remaining 10%, even if they are not dead, they are no longer as talented as before. Most of them who have destroyed their talents will live a mediocre life and be forgotten by everyone.

If such a person says that he is not good, then he is really not good.

Although Li Chuyi is afraid of the Burial King, he has never thought that the other party would deceive him on such a matter, and he does not know what he missed today due to the mistake.

Li Chuyi was depressed and kept silent with his head drooping.

The King of Zang heaved a sigh of relief, but was worried that Li Chuyi would be too depressed. After thinking for a while, he said, "It's for your own good that I don't teach you the Ghost Scripture, but you shouldn't be too depressed. Although I can't teach you how to reconcile life and death, I can teach you a method to restrain death."

"The method to restrain death?" Li Chuyi's eyes lit up, "Then can I restrain my devouring power of vitality?"

"This..."

After a pause and thinking about it, the King of Zang said, "The devouring power you have is derived from the instinct of your body. Unless you can coordinate the two energies of life and death to make them circulate endlessly, or completely suppress the death energy with huge vitality, it is impossible to completely restrain it. Although it cannot be eliminated, I may be able to teach you a method to temporarily suppress it, so that you can control this power when you need it, without hurting your friends, and not exposing your whereabouts in front of your enemies."

"Fuck you Taoist priest, you are a good man, a god!"

Li Chuyi was overjoyed and looked at the tombstone eagerly.

"Teach me!"

The King of Burials was not vague either, and the giant eyes on the tombstone narrowed slightly: "Help me!"

"You teach me first!"

"You help me first!"

"No, I'm afraid you'll lie to me!"

"I'm the same as you, I don't trust you either!"

"Fuck, then there's nothing to talk about?"

"As for you, I'm not in a hurry anyway. I've waited for millions of years, can you wait?"

"I...!!!"

Li Chuyi struggled to death, wanting to curse.

No one could trust anyone, and he really didn't dare to let this old monster out casually, but the other party had caught his handle again, and he couldn't make up his mind after thinking about it.

Staring at each other, neither of them was willing to let go. After a while, the King of Burials' eyes suddenly relaxed.

"Oh, forget it. There is no point in continuing this stalemate. It is a complete waste of our time. Instead of doing this, I might as well show my sincerity first."

Looking at the stunned Li Chuyi, the Zang King said in a deep voice: "Just as you said, I will teach you the method and let you go. At the same time, I will give you a token. If you change your mind in the future, you can find the place with the token. I hope you will not be so wary by then. You and I have the same position. We should be allies rather than enemies. I want to kill Dao Yanming more than you do. Just for this reason, I will not harm you. I hope you can understand!"
