Chapter 672: Obtaining Assimilation Power
Do you want to be assimilated by me? Why? Don’t you know that assimilators are not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao? At that time, let alone the Immortal Realm, even if you escape to myriad worlds, you will be endlessly hunted.
The girl was extremely surprised, because people in the Immortal Realm avoided assimilation like the plague, as once contaminated, they would immediately be hunted all over the world by the claws of the Heavenly Dao.
“No comment. If you satisfy my request, you can leave immediately.”
Lu Yao shook her head.
“Okay, but I can only give you assimilation power, and I can’t tell you how to use it!”
The girl agreed without hesitation. As a so-called “hound,” she definitely didn’t have freedom usually.
“Why?”
A trace of displeasure appeared on Lu Yao’s face.
“It’s not that I’m unwilling to tell you, but the method of using this assimilation power can only be passed down through the vital blood of ‘Assimilating Heavenly Dao,’ so only her direct descendants know. As for me, I was merely assimilated by the assimilation power, so naturally, I don’t know how to use this power.”
The girl explained patiently, seeming to yearn for freedom.
Lu Yao fell into thought upon hearing this. After a moment, she asked, “Why should I believe you? If you pretend to be ignorant and secretly use ‘Advanced Assimilation’ while assimilating me, wouldn’t I be doomed forever?”
Qi Huang also reacted after a moment of thought. That “Advanced Assimilation” could capture thoughts. If this girl secretly used “Advanced Assimilation” to take Lu Yao, a powerful evil spirit, as her servant, it would undoubtedly be a massive leap for her. This was definitely a great temptation that ordinary people could not resist.
“I swear that every word I say is true. If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do.”
The girl said helplessly.
Lu Yao’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
She wasn’t foolish; how could she believe so-called oaths?
Qi Huang also worried for Lu Yao. In this situation, if she accepted assimilation, she might be calculated against by the other party. If she refused, then she could only rely on luck to find the power of “Assimilating Heavenly Dao,” which was too much of a waste of time.
Lu Yao thought for a moment and then said, “Actually, even if we reach a deal, with your strength, you probably won’t live much longer, after all, the Immortal Alliance Leader has ordered your death.”
“Hehe… What can be done? I’ll live one day at a time.”
The girl gave a self-deprecating smile.
“I don’t like owing favors. You’re giving me assimilation power, so I should at least give you some compensation.”
Lu Yao seized the opportunity to speak.
“Compensation?”
An expression of surprise appeared on the girl’s face. Based on the idea that if you don’t take advantage when you can, you’re a fool, she curiously asked, “Then what compensation do you plan to give me?”
“Equivalent to Earth Immortal Realm strength, so you’ll have the ability to protect yourself. The price is becoming a zombie. Are you willing?”
Lu Yao asked in a negotiating tone.
“What? Earth Immortal Realm strength?”
The girl’s mouth gaped open in disbelief, then she said eagerly, “Great! Great! Of course, it’s great! Becoming a zombie is better than dying completely.”
Lu Yao’s lips curled up slightly, and her figure suddenly disappeared from her original spot. Then, she ghost-like appeared beside the girl, then lowered her head, opened her small mouth, and her sharp fangs bit into the girl’s tender neck. The vital blood containing zombie poison was injected into it. This was the method of developing zombie descendants.
“Wuuu…”
The girl shivered all over, then hugged Lu Yao and struggled fiercely, shouting in a panic.
What are you doing?
Lu Yao quickly withdrew and returned to her original position.
What did you do to me?
The girl clutched her neck with lingering fear.
Don’t you want powerful strength? I’ll satisfy you!
Lu Yao said expressionlessly.
The girl still wanted to say something, but she suddenly felt a strong stinging pain all over her body, as if she had been cut a thousand times. She began to roll on the ground. At the same time, dense Yin Energy began to emerge from under her skin.
Not long after, the girl stopped struggling. Corpse spots began to appear on her skin, her fingernails lengthened, and sharp fangs protruded from her mouth.
With the nourishment of Yin Energy, the corpse spots on the girl’s body continuously changed color, eventually disappearing without a trace. She then slowly opened her eyes, and the scarlet resentment in her eyes was extremely obvious.
What happened?
The girl asked blankly. When she saw Lu Yao, she quickly stood up and respectfully said, “Master!”
Alright, you have now become a zombie and possess strength comparable to the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm. Self-preservation is completely possible. Living like this is better than dying completely.
Lu Yao explained.
Thank you, Master!
The girl bowed respectfully.
What’s your name?
Lu Yao asked first.
Reporting to Master, my name is An Xuan.
The girl replied respectfully.
Now tell me, do you really not know how to use that assimilation power?
Lu Yao asked again, because zombie servants were absolutely loyal to her, and she could also know their psychological activities.
An Xuan carefully explained.
Qi Huang was slightly disappointed to hear this. It seemed that she would have to wait to know how to use the assimilation power.
“Alright, then assimilate me now.”
Lu Yao finally said with relief.
An Xuan did not hesitate. She walked over and grabbed Lu Yao’s hand, saying, “The first layer of assimilation is very simple. I just need to inject enough assimilation True Qi into your body, and you’ll be fine once your body is transformed. However, because this assimilation True Qi is of a higher level than the Five Elements Spiritual Qi, the assimilator must also reach the Human Immortal Realm to perceive its existence. You are naturally fine.”
“I see!”
Qi Huang finally understood. The reason she couldn’t sense the assimilation power within her body was due to her insufficient strength.
“It is said that this assimilation power has the effect of shielding the Heavenly Dao, right?”
Lu Yao confirmed while sensing the changes in her body.
“Yes, its effect is even stronger than Heaven-Concealing Water. Heaven-Concealing Water can only deceive celestial beings, while those assimilated by it can escape the Heavenly Dao’s perception. This is one of the important reasons why the Heavenly Dao cannot tolerate us.”
An Xuan confirmed.
“As Tian Ji Zi said, as long as I possess this assimilation power, I won’t need Heaven-Concealing Water.”
Lu Yao murmured to herself.
Not long after, Lu Yao’s body transformation was completed. Every inch of her flesh and blood underwent earth-shattering changes, faintly emitting a pink luster.
Lu Yao examined herself with her senses and found a faint pink power coursing through her body. It neither merged nor conflicted with Yin Energy, as if it were in two different planes. This was clearly the assimilation True Qi she had yearned for.
Lu Yao sensed and controlled
Lu Yao sensed and controlled it. She found that the assimilation True Qi obediently flowed within her veins according to her will.
Success!
A rare look of joy appeared on Lu Yao’s face. Being able to sense the assimilation power meant that she could go and search for it.
After being excited for a moment, Lu Yao asked An Xuan, “What are your plans from now on?”
“Master, can this servant follow you?”
An Xuan pleaded cautiously. She was not a fool; following a powerful master like Lu Yao was much safer than wandering alone.
“Of course. You are my descendant after all.”
Lu Yao readily agreed.
Then, the master and servant continued to wander in the universe, searching for Ghost Tomatoes and the residual power of “Assimilating Heavenly Dao.” Because the “Assimilating Heavenly Dao” remnants in the Immortal Realm had been completely cleared, they could only place their hopes on other worlds. However, since it was impossible to open a “door” from a higher world to a lower world, they could only search for spatial rifts caused by cultivators from various worlds ascending to the Immortal Realm. However, such opportunities were extremely rare, as becoming an immortal was an extremely difficult matter for cultivators in any world.
One day, as the master and servant were flying through the universe, they suddenly discovered dense spatial rifts in the deep space ahead, so many that they were countless.
“Great! Master, we’ve finally found spatial rifts!”
An Xuan exclaimed excitedly, dancing with joy.
Lu Yao didn’t say much and flew directly towards those spatial rifts.
The master and servant quickly approached and peered into the spatial rifts. The scenes within made them tremble, even Lu Yao.
