Chapter 226: Chapter 172: Damned Humans, Don’t Even Think About Snatching My Body (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

Before dawn, Li Qian returned to the Chen Bell Platform.

Dong!

The clear and distant sound of the bell rang out.

It was the disciple Chai Shao striking the bell.

The little White Fox in his arms seemed to be awakened by the bell, its small head poking out, its tiny eyes curiously looking around.

Several disciples were all cultivating.

Li Qian entered the bell tower, took the little White Fox from his embrace, and then took out a Feeding Pill, scraped some of the medicine powder into the water, and wrapped it in True Qi before sending it into the little White Fox’s mouth.

The little White Fox sucked and swallowed.

After finishing, it closed its eyes and fell asleep.

Li Qian took a basket, lined it with clothes to make it comfortable, and created a nest for it.

Then, Li Qian sat cross-legged, took out a demon stone, and began to absorb the energy within it to elevate his Qi Blood Holy Realm.

Since he had quite a few demon stones on hand, he had tried to let his senior disciple Chai Shao absorb a demon stone to further cultivate the Pure Holy Body.

However, Chai Shao’s progress was extremely slow.

Mainly because absorbing demon energy into the body produced an intensely strong sensation of pain.

Even with Chai Shao’s tenacious character, it was somewhat unbearable.

Furthermore, when absorbing and refining the demon energy, it caused damage to the body, which could only slowly be nurtured and repaired, leading to Chai Shao’s very slow cultivation speed.

At this rate, it was simply impossible to cultivate the Pure Holy Body.

But this was also normal; the main reason Li Qian was able to endure such agony and eventually succeed was mainly due to the Chen Bell.

The Chen Bell could ease the pain and restore the damaged body; Chai Shao did not have such conditions.

From the reactions of those Demon Saints, the Qi Blood Holy Realm specifically subdued the Demon Race, and even outside it must be extremely rare; otherwise, they wouldn’t be so shocked.

Hoo!

After a session of cultivation, Li Qian opened his eyes and suddenly turned his gaze to the peacefully sleeping little Demon Fox, a thought flashing through his mind.

He was a bit worried that the Devil Thought inside the little White Fox had not dissipated.

This was a hidden danger.

The best method would be to kill it outright, once and for all.

Only, with a Lightness Level Talent, Li Qian felt that killing it directly would be a waste and it could be put to good use.

"Perhaps, I can refine this little White Fox into a permanent Blood Puppet."

Li Qian stroked his chin.

In the second progression state of the Qi Blood Holy Realm, every bit of progress allows the transformation of one Blood Puppet.

These Blood Puppets are temporary in nature, and after some time they would collapse.

However, it does not mean that a Blood Puppet cannot be refined into a permanent one.

It just requires Li Qian to infuse it with a strand of his own Primordial Spirit Power.

Once the Blood Puppet perishes, that strand of his Primordial Spirit Power would disintegrate, greatly affecting him, akin to the collapse of the Myriad Phenomena Demon Thought invoked by a Demon Saint’s arrival, which would also affect the original body.

However, this little White Fox has a Lightness Level Talent; once refined into a permanent Blood Puppet, it would not affect its tremendous growth potential.

Frankly speaking, if he didn’t refine the little White Fox into a Blood Puppet, he would not know how else to deal with it.

He surely couldn’t raise it, right?

Once the little White Fox harboring Devil Thought grows up, it would pose a huge hidden danger.

Those not of my race, their hearts will be different.

This has been Li Qian’s consistent philosophy.

Whether in his past life or this one, it has always been so.

This is why he had not chosen to enlighten Little Black with intelligence.

He could tolerate Little Black as an Abnormal Bird, growing stronger, could even tolerate Little Black’s innate animal wildness, and didn’t mind if sometimes it was disobedient.

But if it became like a demon with self-awareness, that would be a different story.

Therefore, he was even less willing to allow this little White Fox to grow and become a demon...

The best way to deal with it was to refine it into a Blood Puppet, thus maximizing benefits, and not wasting this unique Lightness Level talent.

"Now it remains to be seen if any more Demon Puppets emerge to wreak havoc."

Li Qian thought to himself.

As long as there are more Demon Puppets emerging, it means that the Fox Demon Thought has not completely disappeared.

If all the Demon Puppets have vanished, the only remaining Devil Thought might be in this little White Fox.

Regardless, he would definitely refine the little White Fox into a Blood Puppet in the end.

Days went by.

Li Qian kept an eye on the outside world.

No incidents with Demon Puppets wreaking havoc took place.

All of the Demon Puppets seemed to have vanished without a trace overnight.

Qinxin City.

This place had already become a pile of ruins, uninhabited.

Under the sunlight, it was desolate, with decaying corpses everywhere...

At this moment, however, several figures arrived at the giant pit in the central area.

Besides the six Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials within the Dakchang realm, there was a person dressed in a large red Daoist robe, hair not tied into a Daoist bun but instead scattered loosely, emitting a faint red hue.

The six Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials were extremely respectful in front of this Kun Daoist.

This Kun Daoist was a top Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial from the Dao Sect, with an extremely powerful backing, as she was the daughter of a Great Saint.

"Senior Sister Hong Yun, that mysterious Martial Saint had a grand battle with the demon inside, which ultimately led to the collapse of the Great Array, and almost the entire city being leveled to the ground, leaving only this giant pit. Ever since then, the demon has disappeared without a trace, and the mysterious Martial Saint has not appeared again."

Daoist Lv said.

He and a few fellow Daoists had speculated that the mysterious Martial Saint might have perished alongside the demon in Qinxin City.

Otherwise, after that battle, there would not have been complete silence.

Moreover, when facing a legendary demon, how could an ordinary Martial Saint possibly have emerged unscathed?

"Even if this Martial Saint hasn’t perished, he must have been gravely injured by the Demon Lord," said Daoist Hong Yun in a deep voice, "But, the silence of the Demon Lord doesn’t mean it was eradicated. It’s likely that it was only temporarily suppressed by the Martial Saint after just awakening... This has bought some time for our Dao Sect."

"Senior Sister Hong Yun, then what shall we do next?" freёnovelkiss.com

Daoist Lv asked.

"Wait, and also keep a close watch on all the movements of the Demon Puppets, we must exterminate them with all our might before the demon completely revives..."

Daoist Hong Yun shook her head.

She had no way of knowing what decision would be made above.

The main reason she was sent here was to understand the actual situation.

Without the many Martial Saints, it would almost be impossible to completely eradicate a demon.

Now that demons are appearing in the Human World, it’s a real dilemma for the Martial Alliance.

To let demons run amok in the Human World, once they grow to an uncontrollable extent, the entire Human Realm would become a Demon Domain.

Yet closing off the barrier of the Human Realm would result in facing tremendous pressure from the Demon Race.

...

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed.

The Human Realm was very peaceful, and no Demon Puppet had appeared, which puzzled that Hong Yun Heavenly Person and several Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials.

Normally, even if the demon lord was suppressed and had not fully revived, it would still control the Demon Puppets to move around, devour Divine Souls, and recover Devil Thought... But oddly enough, there had been no activity for so long.

Chen Bell Platform.

During this half-year, he practiced every day by striking the bell, observing Little White Fox, and found no abnormalities.

However, the more normal it was, the more abnormal it seemed.

Therefore, Li Qian had already decided to make Little White Fox into a Blood Puppet.

This half-year, he had kept Little White Fox by his side and did not let anyone else come into contact with it.

After all, he had to prevent the possible transfer of Devil Thought from Little White Fox to others.

Deep in the night.

Atop the Chen Bell Platform.

Li Qian held Little White Fox in his hands.

This Little White Fox had grown a bit, appearing quite spiritual.

Suddenly, he moved and arrived under the Chen Bell; then, he slowly levitated and entered the interior of the Chen Bell.

At this moment, the Chen Bell emitted a faint halo of light, with the powerful Chen Bell Domain completely sealing off the space inside the bell.

With this, even if the potential Devil Thought within Little White Fox were to burst forth, it would be locked away by the Chen Bell Domain, preventing it from spilling out and affecting the people of Bell Platform and Divine Sword Sect.

Actually, there were still risks.

But he couldn’t think of anywhere safer or more secure than inside the Chen Bell, could he?

Li Qian took a deep breath, glanced at Little White Fox whose eyes were twitching, then closed his eyes.

The next moment, the golden-flamed Qi Blood Holy Realm released from his body, filling the entire space inside the Chen Bell, as if immersed in burning flames.

Little White Fox, trapped within the Qi Blood Holy Realm, began to grow restless.

Squeaking anxiously.

Suddenly, the Qi Blood Stripping and Qi Blood Spirit traits of the Qi Blood Holy Realm activated.

With a shriek, Little White Fox had all its Qi Blood stripped away. Its originally snowy fur was instantly dyed with blood color, and a strange red shadow emerged.

That was the Blood Spirit.

Next, Li Qian was about to split a wisp of Primordial Spirit Power to merge into the Blood Spirit.

Taking a deep breath, Li Qian steadied his heart and forcibly split off a thread of Primordial Spirit.

For a moment, his head throbbed as if splitting, but luckily, the sound of the bell in his mind rose, alleviating the agonizing pain of soul splitting.

Phew!

He breathed a sigh of relief, forcibly concentrated, and controlled that wisp of Primordial Spirit Power to merge into the Blood Spirit.

The moment the Primordial Spirit Power entered the Blood Spirit, a peculiar fusion was completed, and immediately, it was as if he had acquired an additional body, an additional perspective.

Whoosh!

The Blood Spirit, now merged with Li Qian’s Primordial Spirit, violently entered Little White Fox’s body.

Instantly, a terrifying shriek erupted from within Little White Fox.

Buzz!

Inside the Chen Bell, terrifying Devil Thought vibrated but was locked down by Li Qian’s Chen Bell Domain, unable to spread.

"Damned human, you won’t take over my body..."

The Devil Thought roared in anger.

"Heh, a demon is just a demon, I’ve been on guard against this all along, did you truly think you could deceive me?"

Li Qian chuckled coldly.

How could such a powerful demon suddenly give up its protracted life to nurture offspring?

There was only one possibility: the demon intended to cast off its old shell, abandon the original body, progress into a new one, and break free from confinement.

If it were an average person, facing this seemingly harmless Little White Fox, they might actually be deceived.

Thud, thud, thud...

The powerful Chen Bell Domain began to suppress the Fox Demon Thought.

No matter how high the demon’s trickery, against Li Qian the hangman, it was completely useless.

Gradually, the Devil Thought was progressively suppressed and then expelled from Little White Fox’s body, and at last, the Blood Spirit controlled by Li Qian drilled into Little White Fox, fully integrating and becoming a true Blood Puppet.

"Damned human..."

The Fox Demon Thought sensed this scene, was enraged beyond measure, yet had no way to intervene, only able to watch powerlessly as its body was taken and controlled by this human.

This was the new body it had cultivated with its essence of demonic nature, possessing Lightness Level Talent, yet it inexplicably benefited this human.

No matter how the Devil Thought surged, it was locked away by the Chen Bell Domain, utterly unable to break free.

The next moment, Li Qian left the inside of the Chen Bell with the just-refined Blood Puppet Little White Fox.

As for the Fox Demon Thought, it could only be slowly eradicated by utilizing the Chen Bell.

He looked at Little White Fox in his hand, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

Refining Little White Fox into a permanent Blood Puppet went much more smoothly than he had thought.

Squeak...

Little White Fox also made a sound, as if responding to Li Qian.

Its originally innocent gaze had become profound and deep.
