He cultivated himself into a Dao Ancestor starting from Qi Refining.

"Okay, okay..."

Zhou Qinghe's expression turned extremely solemn. He had finally sorted out his thoughts. "So that's how it is, so that's how it is. It's all because of you, it's all because of you..."

"I never imagined that you would know about Gongsun Zhirou's mission in advance, and even arrange everything in the Li family beforehand. I couldn't find a single flaw."

"besides."

"Since you know what kind of treasure I need, you probably already know that the fourth minor supernatural power I want to cultivate is the 'Minor Styx Technique'."

"You know everything about me, you know all my secrets, you probably even anticipated my moves. I have no secrets from you! Absolutely no secrets!!!"

"I understand, I understand."

Zhou Qinghe's gaze was fixed on Lin Shaoyu. "I didn't lose unjustly. I, Zhou Qinghe, didn't lose unjustly. Falling into the hands of someone like you, there's truly no way out!"

"What's even more terrifying is..."

Zhou Qinghe looked around again, but he still couldn't see through anything around him. "What kind of supernatural power is this? It can create a secret realm, but I can't see through it at all."

"Senior Brother Zhou, seeing you smile so happily, it seems you really like this wonderful gift I gave you. I am deeply gratified!"

Lin Shaoyu slowly raised his right hand, and the 'Feng Shui Formation Array' began to operate, with countless spiritual lights converging towards him.

"Lin Shaoyu!!!"

Zhou Qinghe raised his head, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace, and roared hysterically, "To hell with your damn grand gift! I'm going to kill you! Kill you!!!"

Rumble!!!

Zhou Qinghe unleashed the "Minor Supernatural Power: People Around Me". This minor supernatural power, when cultivated to its peak, allows one to draw upon the power of all those around them and integrate it into oneself, enabling the unleashing of the strongest attack.

"Destroy!"

Lin Shaoyu waved his right hand, and under the effect of the "Qimen Dunjia" supernatural power, Zhou Qinghe was trapped in the formation. If Lin Shaoyu wanted, he could directly suppress all the enemy's supernatural power effects.

"!!!"

Zhou Qinghe's eyes widened as he discovered that more than half of his supernatural power had been suppressed.

puff!

Blood splattered.

The celestial bodies, Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces—three powerful forces converged, and countless spiritual lights intertwined, transforming into a dazzling bronze radiance.

The bronze light pierced through Zhou Qinghe's head, destroying his consciousness and soul, obliterating his deepest true spirit, and completely extinguishing Zhou Qinghe's life force.

As Zhou Qinghe was dying, Lin Shaoyu had just used the true power of the "Feng Shui Formation Array" to kill him, so the surrounding illusion disappeared, revealing the true form of the "Feng Shui Formation Array".

"This...this..."

Zhou Qinghe saw a sky full of stars, the flow of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, and the formation of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams. "It's such a deadly situation..."

finally.

Zhou Qinghe's body fell from the sky.

There was no sign of life.

Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!

The moment Zhou Qinghe died, those around him stiffened, affected by the "Minor Supernatural Power: Those Around Him." With Zhou Qinghe's death and the collapse of the supernatural power, Zhang San, Gongsun Zhirou, and all those around him perished.

When one person dies, everyone else dies with them.

hum!hum!

then.

Lin Shaoyu saw streaks of crimson destiny flying out from these people, all of which were absorbed by the He Shi Bi, causing a surge in the number of crimson destiny in Lin Shaoyu's own.

"burn!"

Lin Shaoyu pointed a finger and used the Floating Buddha Fire to burn all the corpses, then took all their resources, causing his resources to surge again.

"receive."

Lin Shaoyu then used his right hand to remove the 'Feng Shui Formation', eliminating all traces before leaving. His figure blended into the surrounding environment and disappeared without a trace.

Click!

The Bone Refining Peak of the Withered Bone Demon Sect.

Outer Disciples' Courtyard.

It is located inside courtyard number 99 (丙字九九).

A slight noise was heard, as if something had been pushed open, and Lin Shaoyu was walking step by step towards the gate of courtyard number 99.

Inside the courtyard.

Bang!

What came into view was a pitch-black coffin, with blood-red runes carved on it, intertwined to form an extremely eerie symbolic image.

The coffin lid was pushed open and fell to the ground. Then, a figure suddenly sat up from inside the coffin, his eyes filled with terror, and he was panting heavily, with a hint of relief on his face.

"I...I...I'm still alive?!"

Zhou Qinghe's eyes widened, his mouth agape as he stared at his skeletal hands. He felt his mere Qi Refining Level 3 cultivation and the only minor supernatural power he possessed: the Living Corpse Technique. "I actually survived! I actually survived that 'certain death' situation!"

"Lin Shaoyu! Lin Shaoyu!!!"

Zhou Qinghe's voice was hoarse, almost hysterical, "It's all because of you, all because of you! I've lost everything, I've lost everything!!!"

"call……"

Zhou Qinghe gasped for breath. "Calm down, I need to calm down. I can't let hatred and anger cloud my judgment. As long as I'm alive, there's a chance. As long as I'm alive, there's a chance to start over."

"Lin Shaoyu definitely thinks I'm dead. He definitely doesn't know that I had this trick up my sleeve. I definitely don't know that among the people I control, one of them has cultivated the 'Minor Supernatural Power: Living Corpse Technique'."

The art of living corpses.

Once this minor supernatural power is mastered, the user will become a living corpse, possessing various zombie abilities, and even able to manipulate and create zombies.

Zhou Qinghe also accidentally controlled this person by becoming "a person close to him". After becoming "a person close to him", Zhou Qinghe was shocked to find that "Minor Supernatural Power: Living Corpse Technique" and "Minor Supernatural Power: Person Close to Him" ​​could actually form a special connection. The two supernatural powers combined could actually produce a special effect.

This special effect means that no matter where Zhou Qinghe dies, he can immediately take over that person's body through the "Living Corpse Technique" and be resurrected in a way similar to "possession".

Of course, he can only come back to life once. With Zhou Qinghe's resurrection, the person beside him will naturally die, and Zhou Qinghe will lose all his previous power and can only inherit the power of the person beside him.

Furthermore, for this special resurrection effect to be achieved, the person beside the one who has mastered the "Living Corpse Technique" must remain asleep in a special coffin filled with corpse energy, and cannot cultivate any more true skills or supernatural powers, only possessing the minor supernatural power of the "Living Corpse Technique".

This special effect does have various limitations, but its strength is also quite considerable. It was able to break through the blockade of the "Feng Shui Formation" and revive Zhou Qinghe.

To know.

Within the "Feng Shui Formation," Lin Shaoyu was invincible, able to weaken the effects of the enemy's supernatural powers, yet the "Possession and Resurrection" effect still activated.

"Cough cough..."

Zhou Qinghe coughed, "I have to keep a low profile, operate under my current identity, slowly regain my former strength, and look for opportunities for revenge."

"Although Lin Shaoyu's supernatural power is terrifying, it is not invincible. It must have limitations. If I hadn't fallen into his trap, I might not have lost even if we had faced each other head-on."

Boom!Boom!

suddenly.

There was a knocking sound coming from outside.

"Who?!"

Zhou Qinghe exclaimed in surprise.

"Senior Brother Zhou, you really are alive again."

Lin Shaoyu's voice came from outside.
