New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 272 Flying Sword Supercar, [Anti-Law] Mount

After subduing the white stag, the tiger demon stared intently at the "Brain Eggplant" that had successfully hijacked its brain and nervous system, which was parasitizing its head, before falling into thought.

One has to admit that the aesthetic sense of the dead sword cultivator who spared the life of this 'white deer' was questionable.

At this moment, the Tiger Demon used the 'Shadow Handprint' to seize and suppress the pair of 'Deer-Head Swords' that were emitting a piercing sword-like sound. Without those bizarre little heads, the stag returned to its normal appearance.
Pure white, with a lithe and graceful form, its body showed no trace of 'deformity' whatsoever. Especially striking were its pair of ossified, multi-branched antlers, each segment ending in a sharp, sword-like tip. They resembled both extremely dangerous weapons and works of art crafted from some kind of gemstone.

Tiger Demon could now fully understand why the sword cultivator who had refined the Deer Head Sword had risked great loss of vital energy to forcibly capture it and stubbornly refine it into a 'mount' or 'flying sword'.

At this moment, in the eyes of the Tiger Demon and the Snake Snake, it was also a rare 'auspicious' object. Although the pollution level was not high and it didn't even have a 'species', it aroused their strong desire to collect it.

When people see something beautiful, they always have the urge to possess it. For example, after seeing Miaomiao in Taixi City, he often couldn't stop thinking about her; or when he saw a sparkling gem on the roadside, he wanted to pick it up and put it in his pocket.

The same goes for the 'white stag' before him. Tiger Demon's first thought was to forcibly subdue it and turn it into a human-shaped mount! If this guy could be bred again, it would be even more precious and valuable than a supercar on Earth.

Huh……?
Tiger Demon suddenly had a brilliant idea. If the [Mount] and [Flying Sword] didn't conflict, wouldn't it be possible to obtain a rideable [White Deer Flying Sword]? It would retain the auspicious and stylish appearance of a white deer while also possessing the high-speed flight (movement) attribute of a [Flying Sword]. A genuine [Supercar]!

It quickly asked, "Snake, would you like to ride it?"

Snake nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, yes! This guy is big and stylish enough to be your mount, it'll make you look good. Moreover, it's one of the few wild beasts in this vast forest that hasn't been corrupted by mental pollution and still maintains its rationality and healthy body."

The white stag is naturally one of the polluting creatures, and an extremely powerful mini-boss within a radius of several miles. When the snake says it's healthy, it means the 'polluting power' within it has been tamed into benign, controllable pollution, making it a semi-natural 'extraordinary beast'.

The Tiger Demon continued, "Do you think it's worth it for me to waste a [Anti-Law] slot on it?"

Before subduing the white deer, it had never considered wasting its precious [Anti-Law Contract] on a wild animal lacking higher intelligence. Only beings with higher consciousness, capable of self-exploitation and exploitation, and frantically repaying their debts, should be eligible to sign the [Anti-Law Contract]!

Snake: "Giving it a spot won't hurt, considering its beautiful appearance. We still have plenty of spots available."

[Anti-Law. Shadow] There are five vacancies, with five spots in each group. Group A is occupied by five hybrid orcs. Groups B, C, and D have been assigned to Nie Yin, Yuan Tang, and Yuan Tiao as group representatives, respectively.

These four "Anti-Law Groups" each have a corresponding project theme: Group A: "Shadow Transformation - Power Path Modification," Group B: "Shadow Transformation - Frog-type Potion Exploration," Group C: "Anti-Law-Sponsored Insect-type Alchemy," and Group D: "Anti-Law-Sponsored Insect-type Armor Forging and Knight-type Armor..."

Because each group had set ambitious goals, Yuan Zhu handed over the remaining 12 spots in groups B, C, and D to the three members.

They are authorized to represent themselves, independently designate and sign new clients, receive the blessing of the "Anti-Law," distribute investment amounts, conduct follow-up research, and manage assets for the "Anti-Law Master."

Now, Yuan Zhu still has five vacancies left in Group E. He hadn't even decided on a research topic when he unexpectedly encountered this 'auspicious white deer,' and couldn't help but think of signing him.

As a sycophantic little devil, Snake's every action revolves around pleasing her boss and providing him with emotional value. Without affecting the overall situation, she's more inclined to prioritize the boss's enjoyment of food, drink, and entertainment, carefully considering all factors. Of course, the higher the level of authority, the more likely she is to freeload and enjoy the fun herself.

Happy together > The prisoner is happy alone > I secretly rejoice when the prisoner suffers no loss > Neither the prisoner nor I laugh.
The white skeletal snake tail swam to the tiger demon, coiling around its neck several times before whispering in its ear, "I completely agree with your idea! You've worked so hard for so long, can't you enjoy yourself? Besides, is keeping a cool mount just a waste of time and a disservice? Of course not!"

Snake confidently declared, "Even when starting a company, it's customary to rent a luxury car to make a good impression. If you, Lao Da, keep an 'auspicious' animal, it will highlight your extraordinary status and help you better penetrate the extraordinary circle of the Du Ling. We should respect appearances before character, and this is all for our business. Signing a 'supercar mount' is perfectly reasonable."

Tiger Demon, who had been planning this all along but had been hesitant, decisively shifted the blame to Little Spicy Strip: It was all her fault for instigating me!

Then, he decisively switched back to human form, opened the [Anti-Herrs Panel], and gave the first [Anti-Herrs Contract Slot] in Group E to the Bucks.

Addicted to taking the blame, the deeply sinful snake made no attempt to hide its evil nature. Instead, it nodded proudly and admitted, "That's right! I instigated all of this. I, Yu Jingzi, will take the blame! All the blame has nothing to do with my boss."

...

The auspicious white deer's intelligence was surprisingly low. When Yuan Zhu drafted a "contract of servitude"—though not particularly harsh—in an attempt to reach an agreement with the other party,

[Anti-law] If a party spontaneously determines that the other party cannot understand, it is suspected of inducing or deceiving, leading to the failure of the contract.

"???"

Yuan Zhu stared wide-eyed at the 'White Deer' with a rather complex expression. Judging from the eye contact, the other party understood that he (in human form) and the Tiger Demon were the same [demon], exuding the same aura ([Shadow Contamination]), and through body posture and eye expression, expressed submission and recognition of mastery to him.

Damn, how could such a clever 'polluted spirit beast' be judged as a 'fraudulent contract' and therefore invalid by the [Anti-Law]?

Snake suddenly volunteered: "I'll think of a way! This 'spirit beast' embarked on cultivation somewhat passively and has accumulated considerable spirituality. But it is essentially a wild beast and has not received a complete education. It has not even lived with a human owner for a long time, so it does not possess the thought process and logical analysis ability of an 'intelligent creature'."

"But don't worry, I can input the mindset, basic common sense, and logical models of a 'goblin-level' into the [Brain Egg CPU]. This is the [Artificial Intelligence Program] minus the [Artificial] element, forcibly superimposed with the stag's 'beast mindset,' forcibly elevating it to the 'intelligent life level' to understand your [Anti-Law Contract]."

Yuan Zhu: "Your idea is good, I understand it all. But why is it a [Goblin-level] thought process? And not a human's?"

Snake: "Our [Brain Eggplant] has only been used on 'Eggplant-Headed Demons, Goblins, and Hybrid Orcs'. The Orcs' [Brain Eggplant Data] has not yet been synchronized; [Eggplant-Headed Demons] are intellectually deficient. I have only used [Brain Eggplant] extensively on [Goblins] to read their thought information and feed and train them with big data for the [Artificial Intelligence Program]."

"After extensive verification using the Immortal Scripture, the most mature Artificial Intelligence Model I currently possess is the Goblin Thinking Module. It can endow wild beasts with Goblin thought circuits, enabling them to engage in logical thinking... In the world of cultivation, this is called Enlightenment! As the Mountain Lord Demon King, with my assistance, I can widely distribute Brain Eggplants, which is like an immortal supporting you, enlightening worthy corrupted wild beasts and turning them into intelligent little demon minions."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhu relinquished control of the [Brain Eggplant CPU] above Bai Lu's head to She She, allowing her to make some clever moves.

After a system upgrade and re-flashing of the [Brain Eggplant CPU], Yuan Zhu inserted multiple [Shadow Memory Sticks (Data-Driven Soul Fragments. Changgui Essence)] into the head of the 'Auspicious White Deer', greatly enhancing the 'White Deer's' original beast-like soul. At the same time, he also subjected its soul to deep mental and shadow pollution, significantly increasing the White Deer's affinity for [Shadow Pollution].

In Yuan Zhu's observation, this white deer seemed to have grown a new brain, its spirit and thinking forced to grow and evolve, and it was forcibly stuffed with a set of "thinking methods" that ordinary animals should not have, along with a large amount of common sense information.

This forced growth caused it immense pain, and its agile body struggled wildly. Its brain throbbed with pain, and black, contaminated blood began to seep from its seven orifices…

Yuan Zhu quickly switched back to the [Tiger Demon Stance], and with the deer-like posture, easily swung his tiger claws and gently patted the white deer, pinning it to the ground.

With a loud 'boom!', the white deer, unable to withstand the tiger demon's monstrous strength, crashed heavily to the ground, sinking into a crater where numerous cracks spread along the rock strata.

The white deer was also an 'elite contamination beast,' only spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood mist that stained the surrounding white clouds red before painfully falling silent. Although its body was still convulsing violently, it was held down firmly by the tiger demon and could not get up, so it could only accept its fate.

The snake recorded this scene and immediately praised, "Your Majesty is mighty!"

The Tiger Demon ignored her and continued modifying the Anti-Law Contract. After about 20 minutes, the White Deer, finally getting used to having a brain, began to have increasingly intelligent eyes.

It compares the animal's life experiences, primitive intelligence, and memories with the [thinking modules + knowledge information] that were forcibly intruded into its brain.

For example, concepts like wind, clouds, fog, rain, streams, mountains... all sorts of animals and plants were readily identified. Then, it was as if a 'window' to a new world had been forcibly opened, forcing one to open their eyes and see the world, as if they had grasped everything.

The impact of this evolution of thought made the white deer very uncomfortable, but it did indeed 'passively upgrade'.

At this moment, Yuan Zhu switched back to human form (【Anti-Law Dominator】) and instilled the newly revised 【Anti-Law Contract】 into Bai Lu's mind. The terms were still very generous; Yuan Zhu would provide Bai Lu with a complete package of extraordinary upgrades, maintenance, education, and development… a comprehensive package.

They even guarantee to elevate its intelligence to the "human level," making it an intelligent monster, and provide job placement, food, and lodging... As the price of this "anti-law investment," it will recognize Yuan Zhu as its master, offer its loyalty and soul, and become his exclusive mount... blah blah blah a whole bunch of requirements.

After roughly understanding the contents of this simple "contract," the simple and honest white deer, whether driven by a desire for power, an instinctive attraction to advanced intelligence, or other tempting offers of food and lodging, was more than willing to sign the "contract."

Unlike Nie Yin, a shrewd college student who has received higher education, deeply understands the inside story of "laws and regulations" and "anti-laws," knows various fraud schemes, knows how to seek his own interests, and can modify the content of "anti-fraud contracts," this is different.

Just 20 minutes ago, the white deer was merely a lucky animal. Now, suddenly enlightened, it faces a malicious "life-or-death contract." Even less capable than its hybrid beastman brothers, it remains oblivious, finding the "contract" too tempting and too wonderful.

Even without signing, it had already acknowledged the Tiger Demon as its master and chosen to submit. Now, its situation remained unchanged, yet it had unexpectedly received so many benefits and perks; it was ecstatic and felt no reluctance whatsoever.

Thus, after the [Anti-Law] confirmed the 'user's' thoughts and ideas again, and found that they were not forced in the slightest, but instead showed a strong willingness to sign the contract, the [Anti-Law Contract] was successfully established.

Yuan Zhu has become the 9th user of the "Anti-Law.User" folder, occupying the number 1 position in the E group folder.

After the white deer subdued and submitted to the Tiger Demon, the pair of 'Little Deer. Spine Swords' that had been suppressed under the boulder with severely shattered skulls were both freed and flew back to their godfather's side.

With two soft slicing sounds, it used the sharp blade to cut open the neck above the chest again, inserting two small vertebrae into the body and connecting them with the main spine of the white deer. It began to draw life force to nourish itself and repair its injuries.

After retracting its mismatched 'deer heads,' the white deer suppressed its urge to scream. It lowered its head in submission to the tiger demon, who was still taller than it even when standing, despite being prostrate on the ground.

"Now, do you know what powerful monsters or strange places are around here?"

With her enhanced cognitive abilities, Bai Lu fell into thought, unearthing long-forgotten memories and began processing the task using the [Artificial Intelligence Program]. As it approached 5 o'clock and the sky gradually darkened, Bai Lu suddenly raised her head and nodded slightly.

As a tyrant in the nearby mountains (a wild sword immortal), its strength has always been at the top of the food chain. It has a wide range of activities and has also suffered from many 'polluted life forms' that are comparable to itself.

However, at this level of intensity, even the most insane and mad creatures possess some 'wisdom'. Unless they're in the throes of a sudden attack and can't wait to fight each other to vent their frustrations, they'll usually back down after a period of mutual intimidation.

Compared to challenging formidable and deadly enemies, their nature of 'polluting life' is actually about bullying the weak and crushing the vulnerable. They unleash their sword energy, ravaging gray wolves, brown bears, and cheetahs to death, grinding them into minced meat, and then eating them with tender, delicious shoots. Isn't this combination of meat and vegetables a better way to vent their bloodlust and destructive desires?
Therefore, the white deer remembered many scents that could pose a 'danger' to it, as well as special areas that left a deep impression on it and that it was unwilling to approach. For example, the sharp mountain peak where it resided was also a highly threatening (sword-path contamination) danger in the eyes of other 'polluted life forms'.

The white deer is not yet at the level to express itself verbally, but it can convey its 'ideas' to the tiger demon.

Soon, the tiger demon was overjoyed. This creature had finally 'understood' its thoughts, and as one of the few beasts that retained its rationality, it possessed a complete and clear memory. Now that its confusion had been resolved, it no longer had to wander aimlessly through the forest.

As for the ideal location for the Tiger Demon to establish its capital, the White Deer, naturally ignorant of feng shui, couldn't provide an answer. However, having signed the Anti-Law Contract and acquired a copy of Shadow Pollution, it used its keen animal instincts to select a coordinate from its memories of numerous formidable enemies and perilous situations.

Compared to Yuan Zhu and She She, who had to weigh many factors and issues, Bai Lu was too naive. Even after being "enlightened" by the seedlings, its animalistic nature still prevailed.

Therefore, the white deer's instincts were exceptionally strong. It quickly matched the [Shadow Pollution] flowing from the Tiger Demon with [dangerous places] associated with this pollution, and uploaded the images and terrain of those places to the king.

"what?"

This was an unknown area that the Tiger Demon had never set foot in. According to the White Deer's memory, it had only approached from a distance before feeling extremely uneasy and experiencing an unprecedented sense of crisis. So it lingered nearby for only a short while, not even knowing what threats lay within, before fleeing on its own initiative, a memory that remained vivid in its mind.

Through 'synchronizing this memory,' the Tiger Demon gained a vague understanding of this [dangerous place]. At least, this dangerous place did not belong to [Shadow Contamination], but why did the White Deer intuitively feel that this place resonated with him (the Tiger Demon)?
Snake: "Should we go take a look now, or go back to the construction site and meet up?"

It was already 5:15. Tiger Demon hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not easy to come all this way, let's go take a look first. Anyway, Senior Sister has been waiting until now, so let's not worry about the debt. Let her wait a little longer."
