Eternal Life Chapter 46

Seven Ancient Poisons.

The ‘Seven Evil Spirits Gourd’ is such a powerful bao’qi, to have it just because one wants it is simply unheard of. However, against this ‘Divine Realm’ cultivator, a true disciple, I need to hurry and make up my mind! Otherwise, he might steal it from me in one strike.

Fang Han recognized Jin s.h.i.+ Tai and knew he was the presiding true disciple of Jade Fire Peak. Compared with the ‘Shura’, Jin s.h.i.+ Tai was even more mysterious, and Fang Han was certain that he was absolutely not Jin s.h.i.+ Tai’s opponent, even with the usage of his flying swords and ‘Blood Cotton Devil Clothes’.

The difference between the ‘Divine Realm’ and the ‘Mortal Realm’ was too great, like the clouds in the sky versus the mud of the earth.

While Jin s.h.i.+ Tai spoke, Fang Han slightly shook the ‘Seven Evil Spirits Gourd’, and immediately, billowing, dense smoke began coming out, it was the ‘Sky Wolf Seven Evil Spirits Smoke’.

This wolf smoke first wrapped his body up within an impenetrable magic sphere, doing the same with Fang Qing Xue. These wolf smoke magic spheres, it was best to focus on defense first.

Faced with an opponent like Jin s.h.i.+ Tai, there was no chance of victory – he could only use the bao’qi’s power to defend and wait for Fang Qing Xue to refine the Demonic qi and wake up.

His wounds which had been jarred open by the ‘Shura’s great might were still streaming with blood, and had thus dripped upon the ‘Seven Evil Spirits Gourd’ as soon as he had gotten a hold of it, binding it and forming an inseparable bond between his flesh and the gourd. This had occurred because Fang Qing Xue had cleansed the gourd as soon as she took it, using her Divine Will to erase the blood-binding.

“Junior! How bold! You dare to be disobedient?”

Jin s.h.i.+ Tai didn’t expect Fang Han to be so straightforward, to not even reply and just use the ‘Seven Evil Spirits Gourd’s wolf smoke to defend himself. Jin s.h.i.+ Tai’s face couldn’t help but change, revealing traces of savageness, he was clearly furious.

“Although this is good as well, as today I will kill you. Did you believe that with just a bao’qi you can compete with a cultivator of the ‘Divine Realm’? So naïve!”
While he spoke, Jin s.h.i.+ Tai waved both of his hands, and immediately, seven streams of jade green flames, similar to sword qi, pierced through the sky towards Fang Han! The flames exploded through the sky as they came out, letting out intense booms.

Above the desert, under the intense sun in midair, the scene had previously been a golden yellow one. But now that Jin s.h.i.+ Tai had sent out his jade green flames, the desert within a few li of Fang Han had become a ma.s.s of green. The golden sand dunes had become molten green rivers.

Fang Han knew this was the ‘Jade Green Seven Xiu Devil’! Amongst the Yu’hua School’s eight Divine Wills, it was the strongest, on par with the ‘Yin Yang Purple Lightning Knife’. One was fire, one was electricity, and each had its own strengths.

‘Bang bang bang bang bang’!

A consecutive series of jade green flames rammed the wolf smoke magic sphere, emitting a sound somewhat similar to iron hitting a bell. The tremors caused Fang Han’s qi and blood to writhe, although the ‘Jade Green Seven Xiu Devil’ in fact didn’t break through the wolf smoke magic sphere. It caused the surrounding wolf smoke to begin dispersing in all directions, the smoke roiling like raging waves.

“Jin s.h.i.+ Tai! Senior sister Fang and you are both disciples of the Yu’hua School! Why are you acting so murderously! Could it be that you are betraying the Immortal Path, and following the teachings of the Devil? If you heed my words and stop trying to murder your fellow disciples, then I will pretend this never happened, otherwise, I will spread news of this throughout the Yu’hua School and let everyone know that you tried to harm a fellow disciple. The school rules of the Yu’hua School state that true disciples cannot try to kill each other, and can only decide victory or defeat upon the ‘Heavenly Punishment Stage’! You are forsaking school rules and morals!”

Fang Han used up his remaining strength to howl out these few words. Within “The World”, it had described the school rules of the Yu’hua School. Fang Han had occasionally glanced at these rules, remembering some of the more critical ones. Interrogating Jin s.h.i.+ Tai right now, he felt like a fish in water.

[TL: Basically in his element, one of the few sayings that doesn’t sound ridiculous when translated literally]

“Ha ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha,” Jin s.h.i.+ Tai, upon hearing Fang Han’s words, reacted as if he had just heard the funniest remark in the world, “You, a powerless outer court disciple, know what are called the school rules, they are truly just things for ants! I am to lazy to waste any more words with you, get rid of the sky wolf smoke and I will allow your body to be shredded into bits.”

‘True Qi Captures Mana’!

Jin s.h.i.+ Tai roared fiercely, and the seven streams of jade green flames suddenly changed into a great hand, viciously scooping down, immediately covering all of the roiling wolf smoke and lifting it up.

‘Zi zi, zi zi zi zi’, the raging green flames burned fiercely, instantly encircling Fang Han to the point that water couldn’t leak out. Looking out in all directions, everything was jade green – everything had fallen into the flames.

Fang Han felt his mind heat up, his body seemingly encountering thousands of jin of pressure, as he tried to draw out more wolf smoke. However, those crackling green flames felt as if they were combusting within his mind and trying to dry and evaporate all of the fluids within his head.

Even his sanity became blurry.

Although this was the first time for him to exchange blows with a ‘Divine Realm’ cultivator, Fang Han never expected that against such a powerful opponent, even bao’qi wouldn’t be able to hold up.

At this critical moment, within his mind, a loud sound awoke Fang Han from his daze, it was Yan who had just disappeared earlier!

[TL: In the raw, this sentence is after below statement, but it feels weird to have the statement first so I switched]

Careful, this is him trying to refine your spiritual blood. You must protect your sanity and maintain the ‘Seven Evil Spirits Gourd’. Otherwise, as soon as your sanity becomes slightly dazed, the gourd will fall into his hands.

Yan, just now, where did you go? How did you disappear? asked Fang Han, shocked, but overjoyed.

I used a little means to hide myself, now it has been stopped. Look upon your body,said Yan carefully. Fang Han looked at himself, and saw that upon the skin on his upper half, a picture slowly appeared. It seemed blended into his skin, kind of like a tattoo.

Originally, the ‘Picture of the Hidden Yellow Dragon Spring’ had been worn on his body as an inner garment, but now, it had truly become a part of his body! It was now even more connected to his blood and flesh.

A dragon and the Yellow Spring River wrapped around the skin upon his upper body. These tattoos increased the feeling of endless Devil qi from Fang Han’s body, as if he were a reincarnation of a Devil Clan Great Emperor, able to dominate everything under the heavens and earth, to swallow and devour the universe, as eternal as the heavens and earth, a divine masterpiece of the sun and moon’s rays.

It turned into a tattoo! Fang Han was shocked.

I stated a long time ago, the ‘Nine Aperture Golden Pellet’ contains the blood of the Yellow Spring Great Emperor, as does the ‘Picture of the Hidden Yellow Dragon Spring’. Thus, the two are one, indivisible. If you can cultivate to the ‘Longevity Realm’, then you can truly absorb the Yellow Spring Picture into your blood. Perhaps, at that point, your strength will be even greater than the Yu’hua School headmaster. However, it has no use right now, it only allows me to disappear.

Yan’s body appeared in Fang Han’s mind, bringing Fang Han a lot of coldness and quickly causing the green flames to become unable to shake his spirit.

Although the physical flames could be blocked by the wolf smoke, the flames’ poison was still able to directly attack Fang Han’s spirit. If he became unable to defend his spirit, he would die.

Not good, if you appear like this and Fang Qing Xue sees you thought Fang Han, surprised.

Don’t worry, Fang Qing Xue has been affected by the ‘Heavenly Demon Great Hand Seal’ and is currently focusing all of her power towards refining the Demonic qi. She is unable to divert even the slightest sliver of her spirit, and thus cannot feel anything that is going on outside around her. Otherwise, why would she be willing to give the‘Seven Evil Spirits Gourd’ to you? This is a bao’qi personally planted by the ‘Demon G.o.d’, even more mysterious than the ‘Yang Sky Rooster Rope’. While this gourd is also a pure yang bao’qi, it contains Demonic qi and is not suitable for me to consume. Otherwise, I couldn’t help but consume it.

Yan licked its lips.

So it was like that. I am going to put the seven flying swords into the ‘Seven Evil Spirits Gourd’ and activate the ‘Seven Killing Swords Array’. Perhaps I can cause Jin s.h.i.+ Tai to eat a huge loss, thought Fang Han hatefully.

No, the ‘Seven Evil Spirits Gourd’ is very mysterious. Years ago the ‘Demon G.o.d’ supposedly prepared to ma.s.s produce this gourd, but eventually failed. Otherwise, the Yao’shen Sect would have forcefully expanded, pressuring all of the other schools. If you put seven flying swords in, what happens if we can’t take them back out? In the case that Fang Qing Xue takes back the gourd and discovers that there are seven flying swords inside, how will you explain? Won’t that just reveal everything?

Ma.s.s produce, if this gourd were able to be ma.s.s produced and each disciple of the Yao’shen Sect had them, wouldn’t they become invincible? Fang Han thought to himself, if each of the Yu’hua School’s ten thousand disciples had a ‘Seven Evil Spirits Gourd’, just what a scene that would be.

Amidst the ‘Seven Evil Spirits Gourd’, there are many clever uses. a.n.a.lyze it. If just relying on wolf smoke, then there is no way w.a.n.g Mo Lin was able to withstand Fang Qing Xue for so long. You must know, Fang Qing Xue’s mana is much stronger than Jin s.h.i.+ Tai’s mana and she is also two levels higher. Jin s.h.i.+ Tai is at the second level,‘Primal Strength’, while Fang Qing Xue is at the fourth level, ‘Yin and Yang’.

Alright, I shall take a look, receiving Yan’s guidance, Fang Han took advantage of the fact that Jin s.h.i.+ Tai couldn’t reach him to use his spirit to explore the entirety of the ‘Seven Evil Spirits Gourd’.

Within the ‘Seven Evil Spirits Gourd’, it was actually layer by layer like a bookshelf, seven by seven resulting in forty-nine cubicles. Some cubicles were as empty as a plain, while other cubicles seemed to house wiggling, poisonous bugs. Amongst the forty-nine cubicles, seven were filled with wolf smoke. It was a large stockpile of sky wolf smoke.

This wolf smoke, although being smoke, was abnormally heavy, like mercury.

Eh! What is that?

Fang Han continued looking, reaching the ‘Seven Evil Spirits Gourd’s lowest level. These seven cubicles were shaped like sword sheathes, and underneath them was, surprisingly, a long painting. Painted upon the painting were many constantly moving swords and techniques. It was as if ten million swordsmen were constantly practicing their swordsmans.h.i.+p.

These seven sword sheathe cubicles were empty, devoid of a single flying sword. Clearly, once one inserted seven flying swords, they would be able to utilize the sword techniques and exert immeasurable power.

This w.a.n.g Mo Lin didn’t even have one flying sword, no wonder people consider the Devil Path to be experts at reaping what others sow. They can’t even refine swords.Fang Han wanted to test the power of this ‘Seven Killing Swords Array’, but was able to resist the temptation.

Eh? ‘Devouring Golden Centipedes’! ‘Nine Claw Spiders’, ‘Beautiful Demonic Bees’,‘Blood Pond Poisonous Mosquitoes’, ‘Steel Back Ladybugs’, ‘Six Winged Silver Silkworms’, and ‘Illusionary Devil b.u.t.terflies’! There are actually this many poisonous creatures! ‘Ancient Seven Poisons’! Good, good, good, good. Especially since these poisonous bugs have been infected with the evil qi of the gourd, each is extremely fierce, having a strong physique and unafraid of water and fire. Just one bite, who cares if they are ‘Divine Realm’, and they will be poisoned to death.

Yan’s sound conveyed out, demonstrating that it was also carefully observing the things within the ‘Seven Evil Spirits Gourd’. It had unexpectedly found within some cubicles many ancient, bewildering poisonous bugs and couldn’t help but rejoice.

‘Seven Ancient Poisons’?

Fang Han had never heard of it, nor had “The World” mentioned it as it didn’t record anything about poisons. After all, the Immortal Path wasn’t the Devil Path.

Use your thoughts to open this cubicle within the gourd and let out the bugs.

If I let them out, won’t they be incinerated by the flames?
Don’t worry, these won’t burn to death so easily, and Jin s.h.i.+ Tai’s flames haven’t trained to such a level yet.

Okay!
Fang Han’s mind moved, ‘wu wu wu wu, wu wu wu’! The ‘Seven Evil Spirits Gourd’ once again shook, and from within, a group of centipedes first unexpectedly flew out. These centipedes had wings on their backs, and were all completely a golden yellow color, as if they were cast from gold. Fierce, evil, and savage, they flew like lightning, quickly tunneling through the wolf smoke and rus.h.i.+ng towards Jin s.h.i.+ Tai outside of the green flames.
