A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

......

Lin Xiu's idea was perfectly reasonable.

The only problem is that he just used the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.

Holy crap!

When Jiang Taixu sensed the aura of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

It turned out that the young man in front of him had gone to great lengths to deceive him in order to devour the essence of his God King body!

As someone with a special physique, Jiang Taixu was extremely sensitive to things like the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.

Fortunately, he wasn't entirely unprepared for this situation.

Although his body is still sealed inside Purple Mountain, he has now reached the surface of Purple Mountain and can now absorb spiritual energy from the outside world!

Even if it's just a trace, even if his condition is extremely poor, even if this attack will exhaust all the strength he has just gathered, and might even hasten his death... he will absolutely not allow the successor of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art to wreak havoc on the world!

"boom!"

A burst of intense crimson gold suddenly erupted from the almost dried-up altar between his brows!

The crimson-gold divine light transformed into an illusory divine furnace, flew out of Purple Mountain, and pierced straight at Lin Xiu's brow and immortal platform!

Holy crap!

Lin Xiu exclaimed in surprise and opened his Sea of ​​Wheels at the fastest speed he had ever achieved!

"Whoosh~"

A golden battle flag, entirely golden and shimmering with golden light, appeared out of thin air, its surface fluttering in the wind, and instantly blocked Lin Xiu's path!

The imperial aura spread out, even freezing the space itself!

.......

Lin Xiu cherished his life and quickly took out the golden battle flag.

However... with the spirit of Purple Mountain present, he had no need to do that at all.

[Hmph! How dare you harm the person I'm protecting right in front of me?]

They really don't take me seriously at all!

The spirit of Purple Mountain let out a cold snort, and the strange purple crystals on the surface of Purple Mountain that enveloped Jiang Taixu suddenly lit up!

"Crack!~"

Countless purple divine chains burst forth from the mountain, instantly locking Jiang Taixu and the surrounding rocks completely, forming an airtight purple crystal cage!

Jiang Taixu's final, desperate strike seemed to have drained his last ounce of strength, and now he was completely sealed by the even tighter purple crystal, unable to move even a finger.

The light in his eyes quickly dimmed, leaving only endless bitterness and despair.

It’s over.

Not only did they fail to eliminate the demon, but they also enraged Purple Mountain itself, which was then completely sealed off. Now, even the last glimmer of hope for escape was gone.

Moreover, the unusual movement of the Purple Mountain Crystal reminded him of something.

"So... the strange events at Purple Mountain just now were because of you?"

Jiang Taixu never imagined that Lin Xiu could mobilize the power of Purple Mountain, and he felt that he had really messed up this time.

......

Not only Jiang Taixu, but Lin Xiu was also surprised... He had been so kind in trying to save Jiang Taixu, so why did Jiang Taixu attack him?!

"and many more!"

Lin Xiu noticed the look of despair mixed with resentment in Jiang Taixu's eyes, and suddenly remembered something.

Holy crap! The Devouring Heaven Demon Art!?

He usually trains in the stone workshop. Even after cultivating the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, he would immediately sever the origin of other physiques after preserving the chaotic energy, showing no sense of urgency as a Devouring Heaven Demon Art cultivator.

It's just the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, isn't it? Anyway, his Holy Body's origin is extremely pure, and no one will kill him because of the chaotic energy stored in his Daoist space, so what's there to be afraid of?

However, just because he wasn't nervous doesn't mean others weren't.

Imagine a god-king in his weakest state, who sees a cultivator who has mastered the Devouring Heaven Demon Art smiling and offering to help him... What would he think?

Thinking about this, Lin Xiu broke out in a cold sweat.

"Senior God King, you misunderstand. I don't want to devour your God King Body's essence; I just want to restore your essence," Lin Xiu explained with a wry smile.

Jiang Taixu: "......."

Jiang Taixu remained silent, simply closing his eyes, looking as if he were about to be executed.

Hmph! Still lying!

These cultivators who practiced the Devouring Heaven Demon Art truly have no humanity!

Seeing that Jiang Taixu wouldn't listen to him, Lin Xiu didn't bother to explain further.

Hearing is believing, seeing is believing... He should prove himself through his actions.

Lin Xiu sighed helplessly and put away the golden battle flag. He no longer tried to make direct contact with Jiang Taixu's body, but instead took a few steps back to create a safe distance.

This time, he did not use the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, but instead purely activated his own "Daoist Rhyme Replication" ability, immersing his mind in the Daoist Rhyme Space and replicating a wisp of "Jiang Taixu's flesh and blood Daoist Rhyme".

[Output Target: A trace of the Divine King Body's Original Daoist Essence]

[Output Power: 100% of the Source!]

The Daoist space trembled slightly, and a trace of the original Daoist essence of the Divine King Body was activated. Gradually, a ball of liquid light, about the size of a pigeon egg and emitting a soft golden halo, condensed and took shape above Lin Xiu's palm.

"This is!"

Jiang Taixu felt the extremely familiar primal power in the outside world, and his soul trembled slightly.

In Lin Xiu's hands, the divine body he copied exuded a pure and warm aura, almost identical to Jiang Taixu's own original aura.

Damn! It really is his God King Body origin!

It's not some other god-king's body, it's his! The compatibility with his body is one hundred percent!

So... he misunderstood the young man in front of him?

The young man in front of him was his savior!

The thought that he had just tried to kill his savior made Jiang Taixu break out in a cold sweat.

Chapter 137 The Great Severing Technique Everyone Can Do (Third Update)

To avoid embarrassment, Jiang Taixu kept his eyes closed and lay in the Purple Mountain Crystal as before, thinking about how to face Lin Xiu.

Meanwhile, after proving his innocence, Lin Xiu copied a considerable amount of the Divine King Body's original Daoist essence.

"Spirit of Purple Mountain, I beg you to send these Daoist essences into the body of the God King, to help him recover as soon as possible." Lin Xiu communicated with the spirit of Purple Mountain using the ancient mountain-character talisman.

Soon, the spirit of Purple Mountain responded.

"Why did you save him when he was about to attack you?" The voice of the Purple Mountain Spirit echoed in Lin Xiu's mind, tinged with obvious displeasure, sounding exactly like a protective child.

"Regarding this matter, I can only say it's a beautiful misunderstanding. Don't worry, Senior God King has confirmed my innocence and won't harm me," Lin Xiu explained helplessly.

Okay, fine, anyway, you should stay hidden under your flag for now.

The spirit of Purple Mountain could sense the terror of the golden battle flag beside Lin Xiu. If he had this battle flag protecting him, she wouldn't have to worry about Lin Xiu's life.

Oh, and there's one more thing.

The spirit of Purple Mountain suddenly remembered something and added something else.

"There's one more thing? What is it?" Lin Xiu raised an eyebrow.

Don't call me the Spirit of Purple Mountain. I'm about to take human form; how can I use such a name?

"Okay... alright~ then what should I call you?"

Hmm, I haven't decided yet. Could you pick one out for me?

Lin Xiu: "......"

Lin Xiu suppressed the urge to retort, "You haven't even thought it through yourself, why are you refusing the title 'Spirit of Purple Mountain'?" After thinking for a few seconds, he tentatively asked:

"What do you think of the name Zi Ling'er?"

【Zi Ling'er... Zi Ling'er...】

The spirit of Purple Mountain repeated it twice in a low voice. At first, she hesitated a little, but soon her voice became light and bright.

Hmm! Not bad! It sounds pretty good! I... I'll just have to accept it, albeit reluctantly!

Zi Ling'er tried hard to feign a hint of reluctance and pickiness, but anyone could hear the barely suppressed joy and delight in her voice.

"Okay, whatever makes you happy."

Lin Xiu wasn't very confident in his naming abilities, but as long as Zi Ling'er thought it was acceptable, he naturally had no problem with it.

......

After receiving her name from Lin Xiu, Zi Ling'er excitedly threw herself into her work.

However, she kept Jiang Taixu trapped in the purple crystal the entire time, preventing him from having any chance to suddenly attack and hurt people.

Several tiny holes quietly appeared near the mouth and nose of Zi Ling'er in Jiang Taixu's purple crystal cage.

At the same time, the original Daoist essence of the Divine King Body floating in front of Lin Xiu was drawn by an invisible purple aura, precisely passing through those holes and slowly drifting towards Jiang Taixu.

Jiang Taixu knew he was in the wrong and had no intention of resisting. He calmly absorbed the original Daoist essence of the Divine King Body transmitted from Zishan.

"Buzz!"

As if a riverbed that had been dry for millions of years had welcomed its first spring rain, Jiang Taixu's almost lifeless body suddenly burst forth with powerful vitality!

Beneath his withered, bark-like skin, a faint flow of blood seemed to begin. The ashen color around his sunken eyes faded slightly. Most importantly, the almost extinguished flame of life within him, as if infused with lamp oil, stubbornly reignited!

Jiang Taixu's vital essence has been effectively alleviated and replenished. Although he is still a long way from a complete recovery, it is much, much better than before when he could pass away at any moment.

At least now he has the strength to speak, and can even use a trace of divine power.

.......

"Zi Ling'er, remove the restraints. Senior God King won't harm me," Lin Xiu reminded her.
