My Endless Life.

Chapter 281 Chaos
Li Qi's methods were unpredictable, and Mo Zifeng's internal energy was suppressed by the talisman on his forehead, making him temporarily unable to move.

In order to save his life, Mo Zifeng told everything he knew.

He said bluntly:
"The technique I'm practicing is called 'Nine Lives Soul Stealing Technique'. It's... a technique practiced by ancient warriors. It cultivates the spirit and will, and can allow one to be reborn in another body after death..."

Mo Zifeng slowly explained the martial arts he had practiced.

Ancient warriors are one of the first groups of warriors active in the history of this world.

It is also the oldest period in world history that can be studied today.

It is said that for warriors at that time, the innate level was just the starting point, the grandmaster was only at the middle level, and the so-called martial saint was just a stronger existence.

It is said that there is a realm above the Martial Saint. There is even a legend that a powerful warrior can move mountains, fill the sea and shatter the void, just like an immortal god!
In the ancient myths and legends, the prototypes of the gods who flew into the sky and descended into the earth were these ancient warriors.

But after all, so much time has passed, and no one knows whether ancient warriors still exist.

Although there are tomb robbers and archaeology in this world, these are unorthodox practices that are not worthy of being discussed publicly. Few people really study them as a subject, and therefore the records of ancient times are extremely vague.

Li Qi did know about this group of ancient warriors, but because there was no actual evidence, Li Qi was not sure whether the ancient warriors were real or just a legend circulating among the people.

But now there is the "Nine Lives Soul Stealer" that Mo Zifeng mentioned, the existence of this ancient warrior is probably true.

"go on."

Li Qi sat down at the table and poured himself some tea.

With the talisman for converting energy and the enhanced version of suggestion to suppress him, plus Adam No. 4 in charge of guarding him, Li Qi was not worried that Mo Zifeng would be able to escape.

He had plenty of time to interrogate this guy.

Mo Zifeng didn't seem to have any intention of escaping. He slowly explained to Li Qi:
“The Nine Lives Soul Stealing Technique seems to be one of the magic techniques from the ancient times. Although practitioners cannot advance to a higher realm, they can use this technique to attach themselves to the bodies of others and thus achieve rebirth through borrowing their bodies.

"It is said that this technique requires one to die nine times and acquire nine bodies with outstanding talents in order to achieve perfection. However, this technique is missing a lot. It only records the method of changing bodies, but never records how to achieve perfection..."

"So, you took away Mo Zifeng's body?"

Li Qi asked.

Mo Zifeng said: "No, this technique has great limitations in transferring the body. First, one's birth date must be close to it, and secondly, one's consciousness must be in harmony.

"I was originally a member of the Demon Sect of the previous dynasty. I got this technique by chance and transferred my soul into my bones on the day of my death. During this period, my remaining bones came into contact with countless people, but the only person I was able to successfully possess was Mo Zifeng."

Mo Zifeng...it should be said that the person who is in charge of Mo Zifeng's body now, once called himself "Tianhai Sanren", and was a person from the period when the previous dynasty was just established, about four or five hundred years ago.

During Tianhai's time, the Demon Sect did not yet have a systematic system and headquarters, so many of the Demon Sect's disciples, although they practiced magic skills, had very upright titles.

There are so many "Taoists", "masters" and "sanren", and Tianhai Sanren is one of them.

He himself came from a small sect and did not have much talent, but by chance he obtained a fragmentary copy of the "Nine Lives Soul-stealing Technique".

He continued to study it for several decades, and only when he was almost dead did he break through to the Grandmaster level. He used the soul-hosting technique in this technique to host his soul in his own bones.

The reason why Tianhai lived in the remains of bones was out of helplessness.

For decades, he has been looking for someone who is compatible with him in terms of body and horoscope.

But no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find such a person. It was not until his death that he had to place his soul in the bone fragment.

Even so, it took his bone fragments hundreds of years to finally find a suitable person like Mo Zifeng.

And after he was really possessed, he discovered that there were many pitfalls in this Nine Lives Soul Stealer!

The first is the issue of the consciousness of the original owner of the body.

The Nine Lives Soul Stealer should have a set of skills that can erase the original owner's consciousness and devour the opponent's consciousness and soul.

But Tianhai didn't have the incomplete copy on hand.

So after entering Mo Zifeng's body, he could only coexist with Mo Zifeng.

The second issue is the issue of cultivation.

The essence of the Nine Lives Soul Stealing practice is to seize the bodies of nine geniuses with outstanding talents.

At first, Tianhai didn’t understand why he did this, but after he took over Mo Zifeng’s body and found out that his talent was fixed at the third level of Grandmaster, he finally understood.

Taking over a body will activate the potential of the original body. The higher the potential, the higher the upper limit of the final cultivation level.

Mo Zifeng's potential can only be described as good, but he cannot be considered a genius. Being promoted to Grandmaster in this lifetime is his limit. Therefore, Tianhai's upper limit is also fixed at the Grandmaster level!

This is the lowest level of cultivation that can use the soul-stealing technique!
Finally, there is one crucial point.

Every time you take over another person's body, the original consciousness will be eroded to a certain extent.

Tianhai had just used the soul-stealing technique and had already lost a small part of his previous memories.

After using it a few more times, I might not even remember who he is.

But he had to use the Nine Lives Soul Stealing Technique, after all, it was a way to achieve immortality!

If you practice properly, you can live nine more lives than others! Who can resist the temptation of this alternative longevity!

"Oh, so Mo Zifeng's reputation as a 'genius' is also because of you?"

Li Qi suddenly realized. Before Mo Zifeng defected from Longwu Pavilion, Longwu Pavilion had already been promoting how talented Mo Zifeng was.

At that time, Li Qi thought that Mo Zifeng from Longwu Pavilion also had special talents like himself.

But now I know that it was not Mo Zifeng's talent at all. It was just that Tianhai activated Mo Zifeng's potential and forcibly raised him to a level he shouldn't have!

It is also because of this that Mo Zifeng can burst out the power of a grandmaster in a short period of time.

This power does not belong to Mo Zifeng, but to Tianhai.

"Yes, at that time, I needed the resources of a large sect to quickly recover my Grandmaster cultivation, so I entered the Longwu Pavilion and became a genius, but... I am not a genius after all..."

"That's why you chose Jingfeng from Xihua Palace."

"Yes, Xihua Palace... There seems to be something wrong with their generation. Jingfeng has the aura of the Demon Sect. I think this is an opportunity to go to the overseas Demon Island, so I will unite with them... However, Mo Zifeng's original body does not know about this. He just thinks that all this is his intention."

Tianhai explained slowly.

Mo Zifeng is a good boy, but unfortunately he is not in control of his own situation now.

Although Tianhai did not master the secret method of devouring other people's souls, he was able to influence Mo Zifeng's consciousness and thoughts by relying on his grandmaster's spirit and the fact that he had two souls in one.

Under his influence, Mo Zifeng defected and joined Xihua Palace, and then took Xihua Palace back to Longwu Pavilion to do something to Longwu Pavilion.

Thinking of this, Li Qicai asked:

"So let's get back to the point. What exactly are you doing here in Longwu Pavilion?"

Li Qi finally asked Tianhai and Xihuagong about the purpose of their coming here.

Tian Hai was about to answer when a sudden loud roar caused both of them to stop talking.

Li Qi quickly opened the door and looked towards the source of the sound. He saw various mottled and chaotic energies lingering in the sky above the venue where the six sects’ martial arts competition was held.

There is even the aura of the devil among them!

Six sects martial arts competition...something happened!

……

"What...what is this?!"

"Brother Zhang, what's wrong with you? Ah... No!!"

"Monsters! They've all turned into monsters!!"

At the scene of the six sects' martial arts competition, everyone was in chaos.

Originally the martial arts competition among the six sects was going well. There was one arena for the innate realm and another for the acquired realm. The younger generations competed separately and made friends through martial arts.

The representatives of the six factions on the stage briefly chatted about the alliance during this period. The scene was harmonious and there was no sign of any conflict.

But as the fireworks from Longwu Pavilion calling for help rose, everything changed.

First, among the disciples of various sects under the six factions, some suddenly turned into mad monsters. The people around them were caught off guard and were hit by them, causing heavy injuries!
On the stands, Liu Xia from Xihua Palace took the lead in attacking and slapped Longwu Pavilion Master Zhao Jiu on the back!
But Zhao Jiu seemed to be affected by something, and his reaction was slow, so he was hit by Liu Xia!

Then the stage fell into complete chaos.

The several disciples brought by Liu Xia all burst out with the strength of the Grandmaster level and fought with the other Grandmasters.

The righteous masters should have had the advantage, after all, this was their home court, but they felt that they could only exert half of their strength, as if they were being suppressed by something.

Only then did they realize that they might have been poisoned.

Even if there hadn't been an accident that caused Xihua Palace to launch an attack in advance, by the time Xihua Palace was really prepared, they might not have been able to exert even half of their strength!

"This is... the strange poison 'Po Gang San'!"

Those who knew the matter immediately recognized that this was one of the Wan Du Sect's strange poisons, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the Tian Yi Valley team.

Tianyi Valley is the natural enemy of the Wandu Sect. If it is really aimed at the Grandmaster's Pogang Powder, there is no reason why they would not notice it.

But when they turned around, they found that the situation in Tianyi Valley was worse than most people!

Many disciples of Tianyi Valley have fallen to the ground, their lives or deaths unknown. Only one master is still struggling to hold on, protecting Huang Wanmian under him.

"There's not only Po Gang Powder! There are other strange poisons!"

The Grandmaster said this and turned his attention to his own Tianyi Valley team.

Now that everyone has fallen to the ground, only one person is still standing.

He was one of the outstanding talents in the Xiantian realm from Tianyi Valley this time, his name was Zhou Hong.

It wasn't just Zhou Hong. There were some disciples from various sects who were still standing. They did not participate in the battle, nor were they attacked by the monsters who had been transformed. They just watched with different expressions.

Seeing this scene, others immediately understood what was going on.

This means there are traitors in every faction!
But how is this possible?! Most of the people brought here by various sects were investigated and had clean backgrounds. Even if there were traitors, there would only be a few scattered around. How could there be traitors in every sect?
The grandmaster on the stage was extremely puzzled, and the masters from other sects were also extremely confused.

Li Xueren pretended to be barely holding on as he fought with a Demon Sect master. Noticing this as well, he looked around and then frowned, as if he had realized something.
