Chapter 343: Chapter 305: The Might of the Heart Sword, Ancestor Emperor’s Schemes

[The sword cuts the body, the heart cuts the soul].

The four strands of the Emperor’s Divine Thought attempted to control Chu Huaixu’s body, then charge towards his Sea of Consciousness.

However, before they even reached the Sea of Consciousness, they were met head-on by the Heart Sword!

The voice of the Ancestor Emperor simultaneously echoed in the minds of Chu Huaixu and Lin Qingci.

“Hahaha! So, this peculiar power of yours is within your Sea of Consciousness!”

“I was right indeed!”

During the previous contest for the leadership of the East and West Continent, he was already surprised by the high status of this power.

One must know that during his lifetime, he was a Ninth Realm Great Perfection powerhouse, proficient in both gun and sword dual cultivation, and absorbed most of the national fortune of the Moon Country!

Under such circumstances, one can imagine how high the status of the Emperor’s Divine Thought would be.

Yet, under the situation where Chu Huaixu and Qin Xuexiao’s realms were equivalent, his Divine Thought was directly suppressed and retreated with a single sword slash!

Fortunately, he was now in his own territory.

“In this Emperor’s Pool lies a portion of the power I had during my lifetime.”

“The Grand Array below is also used for possession.”

“No matter how high the status of Chu Huaixu’s peculiar power is, what of it?”

“He is merely in the Third Realm!”

According to the initial plan of the Ancestor Emperor, he intended to possess Qin Xuexiao during his Seventh Realm.

Before that, he would subtly influence through the Emperor’s Divine Thought within him.

Because throughout the possession process, various powers would be extremely chaotic.

If the container’s ability wasn’t strong enough, the body could not withstand these violent powers.

But Chu Huaixu was different.

Interestingly enough… he’s a Body Cultivator!

More importantly, his body’s self-healing capability was too strong.

The Ancestor Emperor had been scheming for hundreds of years, naturally wanting the most perfect “container.”

“I do not wish for even the slightest crack in this container!”

If the foundation were damaged, it would be troublesome.

Because he sought not only to be reborn through possession.

He also wished to touch the realm beyond the Ninth Realm!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have waited hundreds of years for the perfect possession target.

However, who would have expected such a surprise as Chu Huaixu to appear midway!

The Ancestor Emperor was already very satisfied with Qin Xuexiao.

But Chu Huaixu might score twelve points!

Mainly because he, as a “container,” could have “cracks,” and even if shattered, it didn’t matter.

As long as it’s not utterly shattered, it won’t harm the foundation. This body can self-recover without leaving any hidden ailments or hidden dangers; that’s the key.

This made the Ancestor Emperor unwilling to wait any longer; he couldn’t afford to wait any longer.

Hundreds of years of waiting had already tortured him.

Besides, he was too afraid to miss out on Chu Huaixu as a “container”!

Earlier in the contest for leadership, the sword that repelled him was truly terrifying.

With his Eye Power, he could see: “Once he becomes a Great Cultivator, even if I were fully prepared, I wouldn’t be able to successfully possess him!”

“By then, let alone four strands of Divine Thought; even if all ten strands entered his body, it would be like sheep entering a tiger’s mouth. I would be obliterated and scattered!”

The development of events was as the Ancestor Emperor expected.

Chu Huaixu was only in the Third Realm cultivation, yet the Heart Sword in his Sea of Consciousness could firmly suppress these four strands of the Emperor’s Divine Thought!

Currently, regarding the Divine Soul aspect, Chu Huaixu still held the upper hand.

However, the Ancestor Emperor was not anxious.

Because the grand array within the Emperor’s Pool could firmly imprison him.

This array was originally prepared for Qin Xuexiao’s future Seventh Realm.

Moreover, within the Emperor’s Pool, there remained a power from his lifetime.

Under the suppression of the array and this power, even the Divine Sense imprint left by Jiang Zhi inside Chu Huaixu was entirely sealed.

Outside the Emperor’s Pool, he couldn’t detect the crisis and abnormality within.

After all, even in his prime, Jiang Zhi had a long way to go from the Ninth Realm Great Perfection.

However, at this moment, the Emperor’s Divine Thought sensed a new power beginning to emerge from within Chu Huaixu!

The palm of his left hand began to glow with golden light.

The Dao Seals of Nan Liujing and Huaixu began to take effect.

Especially the former!

——All evils avoid easily!

“This is… a Dao Seal left by the Dao Ancestor!” The voice of the Ancestor Emperor immediately changed.

What kind of Dao Seal is this, that precisely suppresses and targets my existence?

According to Chu Huaixu’s previous speculations, the so-called Dao Seal is a fusion formed from the Power of Origin and the Power of All Things in Heaven and Earth.

No surprise, it should also be refined from the Dao Generating One.

Its status must also be maxed out.

Now, the body of the Founding Emperor of the Moon Country was already destroyed.

He only had ten strands of Divine Thought and the part of the power sealed within the Emperor’s Pool.

The strand of the Power of Origin he had during his lifetime was not among them.

Therefore, the status suppression existed here too!

This made the current situation one where he simply couldn’t successfully possess.

In a strict sense, if it were merely pure Divine Thought entering the body, he would have long been obliterated by Chu Huaixu!

Yet, due to the constraints of the array and Emperor’s Pool, Chu Huaixu couldn’t do anything about him now.

For the moment, it had come to a stalemate.

However, this situation was still very unfavorable for the young man being possessed.

Because from Chu Huaixu’s perspective, there was also a woman lurking in the shadows observing!

And the opponent’s cultivation was undoubtedly far higher than his own!

This made him restless, utterly lacking a sense of security.

….

….

Within the lingering mist, Lin Qingci watched the scene before her, slightly frowning.

“Ancestor Emperor, do you need my assistance?” she said indifferently.

“No worries, just a minor mishap.”

The voice of the Emperor’s Divine Thought ceased in Lin Qingci’s mind.

The Ancestor Emperor did not fully trust her.

Strictly speaking, Lin Qingci was merely a puppet nurtured by him.

The purpose was to claim her body after possession, then leverage the marvels of “Wedding Garment” to absorb part of her cultivation and that strand of the Power of Origin.

Thus, he could become the only person in the current world with two strands of the Power of Origin!

The Ancestor Emperor always speculated that perhaps this was the only way to break through the Ninth Realm bottleneck.

At this moment, he had activated all arrangements within the Emperor’s Pool.

Keeping Lin Qingci here was partly because after possession, he must immediately dual cultivate with her to devour that delicious “gourmet feast.”

On the other hand, it was to have her protect this place.

The possession grand array within the Emperor’s Pool had already been activated, and everything reached a subtle balance.

Any external force might cause unexpected changes in the possession process.

The Ancestor Emperor demanded a perfect possession, a tenfold degree of compatibility!

Therefore, no one was allowed to intervene.

Besides, he couldn’t strip away the Emperor’s Divine Thought within Lin Qingci to help with the possession.

On one hand, because this Divine Thought had entered her Sea of Consciousness, contaminated with her aura, needing a full year in the Emperor’s Pool to return to purity.

On the other hand, if the Divine Thought left the body, he would lose means to control her, unable to determine her life and death with a single thought.

At this moment, he didn’t even want Lin Qingci to understand the situation.

Thus, he no longer spoke within her Sea of Consciousness.

The Ancestor Emperor felt a twinge of regret.

When Qin Xuexiao entered the Emperor’s Pool for the second time, he shouldn’t have poured three strands of Divine Thought into him again.

If there were seven strands of Divine Thought in the Emperor’s Pool now, the possession process would be smoother.

“Fortunately, at this moment, it’s merely a stalemate.”

“Would my hundreds of years of scheming and preparation be something a mere Third Realm cultivator could disrupt?”

“Even if there’s status suppression, it’s just a matter of time.”

“As long as I slowly grind away until all the energy within his body is exhausted, there will be an opportunity!”

“However, before that, it’s best to break his mind’s defense, create an opening.”

“Moreover, plans must be made in advance for after possession.”

I am the Moon Country Ancestor Emperor!

I never intended, after possessing, to continue playing any role-playing game, still pretending to be Chu Huaixu.

He will certainly remain in the Moon Country.

But before the timing is right, many things cannot be too blatantly done.

And for the Ancestor Emperor to restore his former peak strength, prevailing over all beings, it also takes time.

“Fortunately, I have already planned ahead.”

“It’s time for Xuexiao to make a move.”
