Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 904: Thrown into the Pit

"Xiao Shi, what do you mean?" the Purple Gold Rat asked.

Shi Hao weighed the Jade Book in his hand and smiled at the Purple Gold Rat: "If this really is an artifact from the Mortal Realm, then it must be at least two million years old. But if it was sent by someone from the Immortal Realm... tell me, can they make an object age rapidly?"

The Purple Gold Rat pondered for a moment and said, "Involving Time Rules, even an Immortal King cannot touch it, that is a taboo!"

So, is Shi Hao being overly suspicious?

"However, for an Immortal, putting a piece of jade into an old stone seamlessly is not impossible either." But it quickly added.

Shi Hao nodded: "When a cultivation technique involves the soul, extreme caution is necessary. If someone has tampered with it, it could lead to eternal doom."

Weng Nanqing was shocked: "You actually suspect that this cultivation technique has been tampered with?"

This obviously seems like an ancient relic, who would be as paranoid as this man and mouse, doubting everything?

Shi Hao smiled slightly, there is a way to verify it, just not sure if someone is willing to help.

"Yue Ying!" he called softly.

"Ha ha, if you want to be controlled and become a puppet, go ahead and cultivate!" Yue Ying’s voice rang out.

Indeed, there is a problem!

Shi Hao first nodded, then immediately became furious: "If I didn’t ask you, were you never going to tell me?"

Yue Ying was indifferent: "As my master, if you don’t even have this much insight, thought, and wisdom, then you deserve to be controlled!"

You’ve got guts!

Shi Hao was speechless, this Artifact Spirit was brazen, with a demeanor of "come at me if you can," what could he do?

"What’s the issue, can it be removed so I can cultivate?" he asked again, as this cultivation technique was very tempting.

Yue Ying sneered: "There’s a foreign soul in that jade, although faint, its essence is far above yours. When you study this cultivation technique, this soul will unknowingly enter your Soul Sea and quietly replace your soul when you condense your Incarnation."

"Since this cultivation technique involves dual souls sharing insights, all your secrets will be known by that person, and with the soul’s level far above yours, your Incarnation will dominate, becoming the primary self, swallowing and merging you."

"By then, you’ll become that person’s Incarnation, a puppet."

Shi Hao gasped: "Master Qian Ji!"

Only he could conceive such a vicious method, possessing both the intention and capability to target Shi Hao.

This old schemer was truly deep. After Shi Zhong’s death, he didn’t lash out in anger or launch an attack on Yunding Star; instead, he devised such a conspiracy.

If Shi Hao weren’t cautious, and didn’t have the Purple Gold Rat and Yue Ying by his side, he might have fallen for it.

That would have been a tragic fall, without any power to resist.

"Can’t it be removed?" he asked again.

Yue Ying continued to sneer: "Even if you erase the person’s soul, do you think this cultivation technique is safe and unaltered?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao completely gave up on the idea of cultivating the Avatar Technique from Beyond.

Master Qian Ji is definitely a very cautious person.

So, if his soul did not become Shi Hao’s Avatar Core due to various accidents, he probably had backup plans, causing Shi Hao to go berserk during cultivation, achieving the same result.

Yes, such dual insurance aligns with Master Qian Ji’s style.

Shi Hao spoke: "This cultivation technique cannot be practiced."

"Master Qian Ji?" The Purple Gold Rat also caught on. It was the ancestor of deceit, so its mind didn’t lag behind.

Shi Hao nodded, he smiled slightly: "Separated by realms, even if a trace of Master Qian Ji’s soul is on this, he shouldn’t be able to hear or see, right?"

"Naturally." The Purple Gold Rat said, "Forget about a Jade Immortal, even an Immortal King doesn’t have that capability... As for an Immortal Venerable, that’s uncertain, those old monsters possess unfathomable strength, perhaps they can."

"Let’s go." Shi Hao took the jade and walked away with large strides.

"Where to?" Weng Nanqing hurriedly followed. When it comes to deceiving people, she was nowhere near Shi Hao and the Purple Gold Rat, so in guessing how others might deceive her, she tended to react a bit slower.

Very soon, Shi Hao arrived in front of a latrine, and a stench greeted them, causing Weng Nanqing to cover her nose immediately.

"Xiao Shi, you really are ruthless!" The Purple Gold Rat chuckled wickedly.

Shi Hao handed the jade over: "Then this glorious task is left to you."

"Gladly." The Purple Gold Rat took the jade, zipped in, and dove into the latrine.

A moment later, it reemerged.

"Mission accomplished!" It grinned sinisterly, "I threw that thing to the bottom of the latrine; Master Qian Ji will surely be furious now."

Shi Hao quickly gestured with his hand: "Go take a bath first; don’t come near me otherwise."

"Damn, you asked me to throw it just so you wouldn’t have to get dirty?" The Purple Gold Rat immediately leaped up in anger.

Shi Hao laughed heartily, tacitly admitting it.

"Bah, I have a protective shield, how could I get dirty?" The Purple Gold Rat quickly realized its mistake and hurriedly argued.

Shi Hao shrugged: "Anyway, just go take a bath first."

"Darn guy!" The Purple Gold Rat puffed up in anger.

Shi Hao started musing again: "For them to sell that stone precisely to me shows Master Qian Ji has a way to calculate my position, setting up this scheme—if not this time, next time, he might send someone to eventually get this stone into my hands."

"However, the previous vendor should be fine, definitely only possessing Self-Observation level cultivation, otherwise, it would be a huge flaw, and I wouldn’t have noticed."

"Heh, Master Qian Ji really is a master at scheming, the entire process was nearly flawless."

Except that this cultivation technique actually belonged to the Immortal Realm, and Shi Hao, peeling off layer by layer, found the truth.

"Since they located me, they surely want to ensure I cultivate this technique, and in case I don’t... there’s a high chance someone will take action."

"So, we can stay here for a few days, just to see what expression those people will have when they discover Master Qian Ji’s soul was thrown into a latrine by us." Shi Hao said with a smile. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"It’s me who threw it!" the Purple Gold Rat emphasized.

"Alright, alright, you threw it." Shi Hao laughed.

They decided to linger nearby, anyway, Shi Hao possessed the Immortal Abode, and Master Qian Ji knew it too, so it didn’t matter. If there was danger, they could just hide in there.

A moment later, Shi Huayun and another young man flew over.

Their faces were both ashen, looking like they were about to explode.
