From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

An avatar outside the body.

Although she has her own unique soul, she is influenced by the memories of the first Ghost Mother throughout her life. She lives her entire life to pass on the memories and resurrect her original self. She has no memories, thoughts, intentions, or emotions that are unique to her. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is an external incarnation of the first Ghost Mother.

"impossible!"

"I am the Demon Mother!"

"The real Demon Mother!"

"The only demon mother!"

The silver-eyed nun roared and chanted scriptures. Her turbid eyes became deep once again. But before she could use her powers, a blue hand pierced through her chest and grasped a dark red heart.

Snapped!

With a slight exertion of force, that hand crushed the heart.

As the blue hand withdrew from her chest, the silver-eyed nun collapsed, staring incredulously at the figure that was entirely like blue crystal, murmuring, "You...I..."

"Thank you for your hard work, but since you consider yourself to be me, then act like me and don't make such an unpleasant face."

But then the person who spoke—

He wore a white topknot resembling a relic, and a grey-blue wolf king's robe. He was barefoot, without shoes, and wore a colorful double-tasseled sash around his waist.

Her face resembled winter snow and frost, her voice as sweet as a swallow in spring. Within her belly she nurtured the Dapu insect, her heart constantly ablaze with both ice and fire.

He comprehended the Four Noble Truths of the Śrāvakayāna, but strayed into a heretical path and never attained enlightenment. Behind his head, a demonic light illuminated his demon kingdom; a timeless, ageless demonic mother.

Because the ghost mother spoke in an ancient language, neither Lu Jin nor Zhang Zhiwei could understand her, but they were already on high alert.

In that instant, both of them got goosebumps all over their bodies. Lu Jin, in particular, felt as if his own magnetic field had been hit by an invisible force. If he hadn't stabilized his central palace, his soul would probably have been shattered. He couldn't help but feel terrified of the ghost mother in front of him.

The other party is definitely beyond the scope of normal living beings!

"Zhang Zhiwei...Lu Jin..."

The Ghost Mother's voice was slightly strange, but she accurately uttered the two people's names, and her voice became more and more fluent, "You are Wu Cheng'en... no, Jiang Liu's fellow practitioners."

Was that guy in his past life, or the life before that?

In short, he thwarted the Serpent God's plan to descend, destroyed the body He had forged, leaving only the Serpent God's bones and eyes.

Could it be that in this lifetime, by some twist of fate, He would come to thwart His plan to revive the Qi of Kunlun Mountain?

"So, which side are you on?"

Lu Jin got straight to the point.

"Whoever wins, I'll be on their side."

The Ghost Mother made a small joke, then her expression turned serious, and she said earnestly, "I am the spokesperson for the Snake God, but this is my world, and I should rule it."

I cannot have God standing on my head; even if I can be reborn, it is by God's power.

at the same time!

Jiang Liu had no say in the matter, even though he possessed a cultivation level comparable to that of a god.

Now--"

The Demon Mother gazed at Lu Jin and Zhang Zhiwei, her blue lips slightly upturned, "Bowing down to your king!"

# Chapter 1033 VS The Ghost Mother

"Hehe~ Hehehe~ Hahahaha!"

Zhang Zhiwei first chuckled, then laughed loudly, and finally roared with laughter, clutching his stomach with one hand and wiping away tears from the corners of his eyes with the other. "This is the funniest joke I've heard all year!"

I have to say, you are definitely much better than Jiang Liu at telling jokes.

But to expect us to submit without any proof is far too naive, isn't it?

Lu Jin went even further, having already retrieved nine-foot nails from the Ghost Craft Sphere. Each nail gleamed with a cold light, silently circling around him, as if they were about to shoot out at any moment.

But the demon mother didn't care and simply said, "Wealth, beauty, power, I can give you all of them."

Zhang Zhiwei sneered: "In terms of wealth, you are penniless now, but your body might be worth something. Many landlords and wealthy merchants like to collect things like crystals and gemstones."

Lu Jin teased, "In terms of looks, you have no one under your command now, but you yourself are quite attractive. Although your skin is bluish, I imagine some johns with strange sexual fetishes would like you."

As for power—

Does it even need to be said?

The Demon Mother is now a lone commander; how can we give her power?

Moreover.

What if they could be tempted by money, sex, or power?

Is he even considered a cultivator?

Indeed.

If one wants to engage in worldly spiritual practice, these three things cannot be separated from, but one must be able to control these three things, rather than being led by the nose by them.

"And what about power?"

Despite being mocked by the two, the Ghost Mother remained unperturbed. With a slight lift of her crystal jade finger, the two fist-sized gems, one blue and one white, from Zhang Zhiwei's pocket floated to her fingertip. She said leisurely, "Boundless Karmic Fire and Exhaustive Divine Ice point directly to the source. With a thought, they can be used without consuming any of one's own Qi."

Once it's applied to someone else, unless you personally remove it, they cannot stop it. Even if they can resist, their internal energy will eventually be depleted.

"Keep it for yourself, consider it a return to its rightful owner."

This was completely unexpected by the Ghost Mother.

Zhang Zhiwei continued, “Power is no different from beauty, wealth, and authority. Those who cultivate themselves all have a pursuit of power to some extent, but I will not let the idea of ​​pursuing power cloud my mind.”

"And me—"

Lu Jin grinned, mimicking Jiang Liu's mannerisms perfectly, and said, "I'm curious about something."

You are both the ruler of the Demon Kingdom and the Demon Mother; your cultivation and life itself have already surpassed the limits of humanity...

Based on my speculation about the Demon Kingdom's ruling style, it's nothing more than "I am the only one who matters," and anyone who dares to disrespect you in any way will probably be executed.

Therefore, the possibility of you using diplomacy first and then resorting to force is extremely slim.

So when we mock you, you should just take action instead of calmly...discussing things with us here.

"You are very smart."

The Demon Mother's eyes finally showed a slight change, "But truly intelligent people wouldn't say it."

Why can't you say it?

Lu Jin feigned confusion, then suddenly looked enlightened, a confident smile playing on her lips, "Because you can't win over either of us!"

Besides that, you also clearly understand one thing.

That means you cannot use the power of the Boundless Demon Eye's ability to transform realms until my good elder brother's primordial spirit and the snake god have completely determined a victor in another dimension.

"So what? My life still transcends that of humans."

The demon mother smiled confidently.

Then--

Zhang Zhiwei spread his five fingers, swift as the wind and lightning, and placed a palm on the Ghost Mother's face.

Boom!

The demon mother's body instantly retreated and embedded itself in the wall of the nine-story demon tower, with a bright red palm print appearing on her face.

"Sorry, I don't hit women, but you don't even seem like a human being?"

After saying that, Zhang Zhiwei pushed his palm forward, and thousands of white lightning bolts burst out from his palm, turning into a sea of ​​lightning that poured down on the Ghost Mother.

When the thunder subsided, the blue crystal-like skin on the Ghost Mother's body was charred black.

In less than a second, her charred skin had returned to normal. The Ghost Mother gripped the wall with both hands, pressed down gently, and jumped out. Her speed surprised even Zhang Zhiwei. He immediately leaped up the golden light and flew towards the upper floors—the Nine-Story Demon Tower was too narrow for fighting.

Lu Jin also used his Qi Transformation ability to fly out of the Nine-Story Demon Tower.

The demon mother bent her legs and pushed off with all her might, tearing through the air and creating a vacuum stream that broke through the nine-story demon tower. She stood in mid-air, her aura rippled, emitting waves of invisible sound.

Ordinary people cannot hear it, but it is a real existence, and because Kunlun Dragon Peak is surrounded by four mountains, it is like a funnel.

hum-

In an instant, the four great mountains surrounding the Kunlun Dragon Peak trembled slightly, and the snow on them poured down, transforming into trillions of galloping horses that rolled down the mountains; or like a million jade dragons, stirring up the cold air and freezing the whole sky!

Zhang Zhiwei concealed the golden light, completing the unfinished technique. The light permeated his body, yet it was formless; the thunder shook his body, yet it was silent. This is the essence of "the greatest sound is silent, the greatest form is formless."

It activated the gene lock again, taking control of its entire body's aura. The atmosphere distorted the air and spread outward, actually resisting the oncoming wind and snow.

Lu Jin also activated his gene lock, integrated his body's energy circulation system, took a deep breath, sensed the surrounding airflow and mountain magnetic field, his Qi followed the weather, his body moved with the earth's magnetic field, ignoring the biting cold wind and parting the sloping ice and snow, his eyes fixed on the Ghost Mother, searching for her weakness.

To pinpoint its flaws—

The demon mother was covered in it.

Deliberately leaving a flaw?

it's not true.

The Ghost Mother is the ruler of the Demon Kingdom. She established her kingdom by using her ability to create illusions, so she must not be skilled in martial arts.

Throughout history, the phrase "a general is good at fighting" has primarily referred to his military command abilities, rather than the fact that the general himself was more skilled in martial arts than his soldiers.

The same applies to the Demon Mother.

Although her body had undergone a non-human transformation, surpassing the realm of humanity, it was still unable to overwhelm Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Jin.

Even in a real fight, he would be crushed by either Lu Jin or Zhang Zhiwei.

Take an adult African elephant as an example.

Whether it's Zhang Zhiwei or Lu Jin, who has already normalized the first stage of gene locking, setting aside the enhancement of Qi to their physical functions and only considering their pure physical qualities, their bone density and muscle strength are no match for an adult African elephant. However, with the enhancement of Qi, their life force is so strong and their superpowers so great that they could overturn not only an adult African elephant, but even mountains.

The same reason.

The Ghost Mother's physical attributes and abilities far surpass those of Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Jin, but combat is not simply a contest of pure physical stats; it also depends on the flexible use and effectiveness of one's own cultivation and abilities.
