NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1344: Body Seizing!
As soon as the voice fell, a flash of white light appeared within the array barrier, and then, the supposedly dead Hall Master suddenly appeared before Zhou Yu.
Before, Zhou Yu had only speculated that the Hall Master was still alive, but that was just speculation.
When he actually saw the Hall Master, Zhou Yu's pupils shrank sharply, his nerves instantly tightened, and his True Yuan rapidly circulated through his body, ready to strike at any moment.
However, the Hall Master hastily waved her hand and said:
"Wait!"
"I... am not that person."
"That person has already been killed by you!"
These words sounded almost like the ravings of a madman.
Zhou Yu's face was full of vigilance, his Divine Sense tightly locked on the Hall Master.
Yet at the same time, a look of doubt appeared on his face.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Yu asked coldly.
The Hall Master said helplessly:
"I am the real Pill God Temple Master."
"The one you just killed was a Primordial Spirit Body that intruded into me, trying to seize my body."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu was taken aback.
Primordial Spirit Body?
Body Seizing?
The distinguished Pill God Temple Master was seized?
How did she survive?
Such a situation was simply too incredible.
However, Zhou Yu vaguely felt that the Hall Master before him didn't seem to be lying.
But at this moment, Zhou Yu had no way to confirm whether what she said was true or false.
So, he still did not let down his guard.
The Hall Master, seeing Zhou Yu's reaction, had already guessed Zhou Yu's thoughts.
She said helplessly:
"To be honest, I originally didn't plan to show myself."
"Although that Primordial Spirit was killed, I had been suppressed by it for so many years, so I am now very weak, less than a tenth of my peak state."
"Moreover, I have just regained my body, and my strength is completely unable to be displayed."
"Frankly speaking, I currently have no self-preservation ability at all."
"Given your intense killing intent towards that person, had I not hidden, upon seeing me, wouldn't I be dead?"
"I was forced to reveal myself because of your earlier threats."
"Rest assured, in my current state, I pose no threat to you."
"You should be able to see that my attitude is sincere enough, right?"
Zhou Yu was not interested in these words at all.
The so-called sincerity was only based on the fact that the Hall Master currently didn't have the strength to kill him.
If she still possessed her Emperor Realm Peak cultivation, there would be no such nonsense, and he would already be a corpse.
Zhou Yu said coldly:
"So, what exactly is the Primordial Spirit Body about?"
"Tell me the details of the process."
The Hall Master nodded.
"Alright then."
"Actually, this all happened seven years ago."
"At that time, I had just returned from the outside world, and when I was about to enter the Pill God Temple space through the Transmission Array..."
The Hall Master showed a look of reminiscence and carefully recounted the events.
Actually, the course of events wasn't very complicated.
Seven years ago, when the Pill God Temple Master was returning to the Pill God Temple space from the outside world, at the entrance of the Transmission Array, she discovered a strange stone.
One should know that the Pill God Temple Master was an Emperor Realm Peak Martial Artist.
She immediately recognized that this stone was definitely not an ordinary object.
She collected the stone and brought it back to study.
Unexpectedly, while she was studying the stone, it suddenly burst out with a terrifying Soul Power.
Caught off guard, she was hit in her Sea of Consciousness by this terrifying Soul Power, greatly damaging her Primordial Spirit.
And just then, a Residual Soul emerged from the stone, invading her Sea of Consciousness, attempting to seize her body.
The Pill God Temple Master was shocked and furious; she had realized that she had fallen into a trap.
She could sense that the opponent's cultivation was not high, merely at the King Realm Summit, but unfortunately, her Primordial Spirit was severely damaged, and the opponent had the assistance of that strange stone.
So, it was able to suppress her Primordial Spirit in one move.
But the Pill God Temple Master, being an Emperor Realm Peak Martial Artist, was still more formidable than ordinary martial artists, even with her wounded Primordial Spirit.
Thus, over the following seven years, the one who attempted to seize her did everything possible to completely obliterate her Primordial Spirit.
But she persisted bitterly throughout.
During this period, to preserve the last trace of her Primordial Spirit, she had no choice but to relinquish control of her body, leading to her body being entirely controlled by that person.
"That's how it all happened."
The Hall Master gave a bitter smile.
"Actually, all things considered, I should thank you."
"If it weren't for your sudden appearance, in a few more years, my Primordial Spirit would have been completely destroyed."
Hearing the Hall Master's words, Zhou Yu was also deeply shocked.
That was the distinguished Pill God Temple Master, an Emperor Realm Peak Martial Artist, almost seized by a King Realm Summit figure?
However, this time Zhou Yu did believe her words.
Because he himself had a Heavenly Law Dao Bead.
When he first obtained the item, he called it a Soul Bead.
Because he found that dealing with things like Primordial Spirits and souls, it was very powerful.
Later, before Zhou Yu could figure out how to use the object, he accidentally refined it into his own Golden Core.
And the King Realm Summit Martial Artist mentioned by the Hall Master should actually have been the true disciple of the old man.
He didn't understand the Tai Chu Skill, so even after holding the bead for many years, he couldn't refine it, but precisely because of this, he must have had a deep understanding of how to use it, which allowed him to almost seize the Pill God Temple Master with the bead's unique power.
Zhou Yu, at the moment, looked at the Hall Master with a blank expression.
In his heart, he quickly pondered how to resolve this matter.
After a moment, Zhou Yu fixed his gaze on the Hall Master and said:
"I believe your explanation just now is entirely true. However, I do not trust you as a person."
"Unless you open up your Primordial Spirit and allow me to leave a Primordial Spirit Mark, I cannot fully trust you."
Upon hearing these words, the Hall Master's expression changed dramatically, and she outright refused:
"Impossible!"
