Chapter 176 Fifth Immortal Moon
Jiang Ming looked up the girl’s Status in the Human Path Records.
Name: Liu Xin (Fifth Immortal Moon)
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Cultivation Base: Qi Cultivation
Background: The youngest daughter of the Liu Clan (Fifth clan of the Yin-Yang Small Chiliocosm. Note: Heaven Reincarnation Hall’s beneficiary, one of the members of the fifth squad)
Relationship: -28
Innate Talent: Immortal (Innate Daoist Body)
Status: Originally a Heaven Reincarnation Hall’s beneficiary. She and her teammates accepted an SSS-grade mission: to destroy the Jiuyang Sect. She was the child of a concubine, but her birth was accompanied by great heteromorphism, and she was persecuted. Although her life was spared, her core was damaged. Suffering many ailments, she struggled to survive during her childhood. By chance, she was invited to join the Reincarnation Hall as one of the beneficiaries and used her wisdom to obtain great opportunities time after time. Not only did it make up for her shortcomings, but it also increased her cultivation step by step.
The Reincarnation Hall posted an SSS-grade mission, and she was tempted by it. She planned that once she received the rewards from completing the mission, and coupled with her years of boundless accumulation of cultivation, she’d step into the peerless Immortal Dao. She could even excel on the path toward Immortal. She planned on returning to her clan one day to take her revenge.
She understood that there was a high probability that the whole team would be decimated in an SSS-grade mission. She knew she had to be extra careful along every step of the way.
Upon descending to this world, she separated herself from her teammates and used an immortal weapon to cut off any connection with the outside world. After arriving at a mortal city, she evoked a supreme special ability to merge herself among the commoners, covered up her tracks further, and waited for the other teams to investigate the strength of the Jiuyang Sect before making the next move. When she looked through the system’s list and saw her teammates killed overnight and the numbers of beneficiaries that descended into the world declining drastically, she was horrified.
She suddenly understood that it was impossible to hide like this and that she would surely be found out. By then, her death would have been imminent. However, she could not forcefully return to her world, and there was nothing that she could have done about it. Gritting her teeth, she took a gamble and evoked the forbidden Reincarnation Transmigration Technique. Merging her own soul with a sacrificial reincarnation figure, she turned herself into a native being and further forged the body that she had taken over by sacrificing her own Dao to restructure an Innate Daoist body all over again.
The only flaw was that her previous cultivation would be in vain as she had to start over from the beginning
As she prepared to retreat into cultivation and scheme another day, she unexpectedly learned that the Jiuyang Sect was recruiting disciples. She instantly hatched a plan and portrayed her talents. After a little more effort, she was selected to be a reserved disciple and easily came to the Jiuyang Sect.
The girl’s emergence surprised Jiang Ming again and again.
He had never discovered this Fifth Immortal Moon!
To think that she had used the Reincarnation Transmigration Technique to fuse herself with a native being, cleansing herself of everything that an invasive foreigner had, yet her cultivation would all be in vain. Such a ruthless and decisive person!
If she didn’t come before him today, he would have never been able to find this person.
“Such a mysterious special ability, able to forge a person’s body and even turn the reincarnated body into an Innate Daoist body. Unbelievable, simply unbelievable. It seems I’m really underestimating the world here.” Jiang Ming sighed as the pride in his heart eased a little.
Who would have thought that even the World Monitoring Mirror was unable to detect such a person?
But it wasn’t too surprising, for he hadn’t sorted out each invader in detail as there were too many of them.
After Jiang Ming secretly transmitted his finding over to Zi Linglong, she purposely selected two disciples from the ten of them and left the place with the two.
The other peaks scrambled to recruit the remaining eight candidates.
Chang Yiming also stayed behind as he was prepared to choose a batch of disciples for himself slowly.
At Chuyang Peak..
After the two sat down on top of the roof, in front of them stood two teenage girls who were in their early teens with cowardly expressions on their faces.
The two looked delicate and charming.
One of them was Liu Xin, Fifth Immortal Moon.
The other was Mo Xiaoyu, who had Eight-Star innate talent with an extraordinarily strong will. Based on her Status in the Human Path Records, her character was also quite good. “Senior Brother, is there anything special about the two of them?” Linglong asked.
“Xiaoyu is quite good. Teach her well. You can take her with you and accept her as a disciple,” Jiang Ming responded.
Linglong had thoughts on his response and took another closer look at Liu Xin before she flicked her wrist, leaving the place and taking Xiaoyu with her. Liu Xin was a little overwhelmed with her eyes filled with confusion as she didn’t know what to do.
She felt like a lamb in a lion’s den.
“I should really give you an Oscar award,” Jiang Ming suddenly muttered. Liu Xin’s pupils immediately shrank, “YouWhat are you talking about? I don’t understand!” she retorted in confusion. “Fifth Immortal Moon,” Jiang Ming smiled, “Need I say more?”
Now that she was already face to face with him, there was no point in hiding anymore.
“How did you know?” Liu Xin, or rather Fifth Immortal Moon, had a shocking look on her face before smiling bitterly. “Never would I expect that I would personally send myself to you. It shouldn’t be! I severed all connections and karma and completely merged into this world. You shouldn’t be able to find out about me at all! How did you discover who I am?
“Also, when you said ‘Oscar’, this phrase shouldn’t be something that would come out of your mouth! Who exactly are you? Were you the one who killed all of them? But you are only 28 years old and are a mere Chuyang Peak’s First Seat, so rationally, it would be impossible for you to be the one who did that. Yet.. Yet… Yet the Jiuyang Sect had too many things that were not logical, to begin with!”
She was starting to become disoriented. All her questions were on point as well, yet Jiang Ming didn’t answer them. Instead, he asked her, “Do you want to live or die?”
“Of course I want to live. You plan to release me?” Fifth Immortal Moon’s eyes lit up with a glimpse of hope.
Jiang Ming didn’t mind her acting at all, nodded, and replied, “Of course!”
He took out the Ofuda Talisman and was prepared to use it on her.
Although this item seemed to be exceptional, it was pleasant to the eyes but of no use. The person that he wanted to enslave couldn’t exceed his own cultivation realm.
Even if he became a Saint in the future, the most he could do would be to enslave another Saint. What use would that be?
It would be better just to try it out now and see if it really had those terrifying effects, as seen from the item’s description.
“Open up your consciousness, and I will plant an imprint onto you.” Jiang Ming didn’t keep a secret about what he was doing.
Fifth Immortal Moon struggled briefly before bitterly saying, “It is better to die swiftly than to live in vain. Alas, I accept my fate. I only hope that you will treat me kindly in the future!”
“Once you join me and follow my rules, I will naturally treat you well.” Jiang Ming smiled inexplicably.
He was looking up the Human Path Records and discovered that her Status was quite interesting as well.
Status: ‘Who is he? He even used the word “Oscar”. “Oscar” is a word only the world of science fiction has. Did he learn this from the other beneficiaries? Or could it be that he has other complicated identities?
‘I’ve severed every string of karma and cut all means of retreat by performing the Reincarnation Transmigration Technique! I’ve done so much to this extent, yet he was still able to discover who I am! How did he do that? Oh, my life is so pitiful!
‘So many of the beneficiaries were killed, all because of him? Was the SSS-grade mission initiated because of him? It must be! If not, how could he have figured out my identity!
‘Sigh, am I about to die? I’m not willing to accept this!
‘Gosh! He is trying to enslave me? He doesn’t know my identity as a beneficiary of the Reincarnation Hall? Hahaha! Great! That’s wonderful! Once I return to my world, any enslavement would be in vain!
‘Haha! This is such a turnaround. I’ll first seal off part of my memories to prevent him from looking through them. I’ll stay on Chuyang Peak and continue my cultivation from now on. Even if I’ve failed the mission, I can at least clearly investigate Chuyang Peak and understand everything about them. Maybe this will reduce the punishment for failing the mission by a little.
‘And the most crucial point of all, I have to figure out how he found out about my current identity. This is simply unbelievable. I won’t be able to sleep or eat in peace if I cannot understand how he discovered me!’
Fifth Immortal Moon thought that Jiang Ming hadn’t found out about her real identity.
In reality, Jiang Ming clearly saw the thoughts racing through her mind, and there wasn’t any secret left covered.
Jiang Ming continued smiling when he placed the Ofuda Talisman onto Fifth Immortal Moon’s forehead as it slowly merged into her.
He stared at the Human Path Records and discovered that her Status did not have any reminder from the Reincarnation System.
Then, he realized that he was in total control of everything about the other person-life and death, all the past memories, and he could even control the other person’s body and share their sight.
Fifth Immortal Moon no longer had any secrets from him from that moment on.
It was as if she was a puppet with a will of her own, and it didn’t prompt anything from the Reincarnation System either.
‘This Ofuda Talisman is truly terrifying!’ Only after using it did Jiang Ming realize how terrifying the Ofuda Talisman was.
He was also excited about it. The Reincarnation System didn’t notice anything unusual when she was in this world. If she returned to the Reincarnation Hall and still the system didn’t detect anything amiss, that would be even better!
When the time came, it would be as though he had placed an undercover agent into the Reincarnation Hall.
‘It’s a shame that there’s only one of this Ofuda Talisman. If I had a few more of these, I could control a few beneficiaries of the Lord God
Space!’
As these thoughts ran through Jiang Ming’s mind, he quickly realized something. Fifth Immortal Moon didn’t feel any discomfort at all and didn’t seem to notice that she was under someone else’s control. However, she was good at acting and showed a panicked expression. She then sighed and bitterly said, “Master, from now on, I am yours!”
The corners of Jiang Ming’s mouth twitched upon hearing her remarks, and he pointed outside. “Besides the manor, you can find a place or a cave or even build a house and cultivate on your own. Remember, call me ‘Master’ from now on!”
“Yes, Master!” Fifth Immortal Moon honestly knelt down and bowed three times before leaving ‘reluctantly’.
Jiang Ming had a playful expression on his face.
This disciple of his was a person who was able to bend and stretch according to the situation. She knew what to say to whom, and her acting skills were also superb.
With the right grooming, she would definitely be a great tool.
At that moment, Linglong paced in the air toward Jiang Ming and sat on his lap. “Senior Brother, what’s wrong with her?” she asked curiously. “She’s from the foreign realm.”
“What? But Senior Brother, she’s only at the Qi Cultivation Realm!”
“She was an Imminent Immortal expert.” Jiang Ming briefly explained to her the situation regarding the Reincarnation Transmigration Technique. “There’s such an unbelievable special ability?” Linglong was shocked. “Senior Brother, why didn’t you kill her? Such foreign invaders should be killed off decisively. You might see that she is harmless now, but once she grows up, she will surely bite you from the back!”
“Relax, she is under my total control.”
“Total control? Senior Brother, don’t tell me you are trying to control her and….” “You’re looking for a beating, aren’t you?”
“Let’s go back to our room. I’ll pose nicely for your beating.”
