Chapter 2207 The Direction to Experiment Success
“It’s Bega!” Dong Rui exclaimed in realization. “You mean, that little devil has been alive all this time? Oh wow, he must be 150 or 160 years old.”
"Yes. Cruelists can take human form and interact with normal people."
"You mean, it has been living in human society for over a hundred years?" Dong Rui frowned. "A sadist is an extremely violent monster. It's good enough if it doesn't cause bloodshed in the human world, how could it possibly live peacefully with humans?"
“That sadist in the Demon Nest Swamp is really different.” He Lingchuan thought of the graffiti in the Demon Nest and the mother’s grave. “It should have human emotions. Don’t forget, it also has human blood flowing through its veins.”
He stroked his chin thoughtfully: "Perhaps I've seen him in Bega."
"Huh?" Dong Rui's voice suddenly rose three octaves. "Who?"
He Lingchuan didn't say much, only saying, "During your absence, many major events occurred. The Great Heavenly Demon Jia Loutian captured the Hidden God Lord."
He recounted the information about Narakuten, combined with the data provided by Emperor Mou, and then said, "If the Heavenly Demon could use the incarnation of the Hidden God to create a divine descent vessel..."
In his view, the Great Heavenly Demon was willing to suffer heavy losses to capture the Hidden God Lord, was it for this purpose?
"It's not that easy." Dong Rui waved his hand. "Even without replicating the meridians, the human body has muscles, blood vessels, and internal organs. For the Heavenly Demon to use the Hidden God Monarch to replicate a human body, and a powerful one at that, tsk tsk... it won't be easy. The human brain is the most complex among all living beings. Just think about how difficult it is to make something without a brain grow a brain!"
“Both the demonic puppets and the Qi beasts were created through experiments using divine blood.” He Lingchuan thought for a moment. “Most of the demonic beast bodies I’ve seen mutated into deformities when they received the power of divine blood. If we use the body of the Hidden God Lord to split them, we might be able to avoid this problem.”
“Divine blood has almost no effect on those above the level of immortals.” Dong Rui walked to the railing with his hands behind his back. “The greater the power difference between the divine blood and the experimental subject, the stronger its effect.”
The difference between immortals and demons is relatively small, and the blood of celestial demons is unlikely to trigger their mutations.
“What if we use the blood of the Holy Venerable Lingxu?” He Lingchuan had already thought this through deeply. “The Holy Venerable Lingxu’s power far surpasses that of any Great Heavenly Demon. Even the skin of True Monarch Cangxi cannot contain His true power. It seems that most immortals are still inferior to Him.”
Dong Rui glared at him: "You really know how to give me a hard time! After all that talk, do you have any of the Hidden God's hides that I can use to experiment on?"
“Of course…” He Lingchuan paused, “No!”
"..." A false hope.
"Why is it called the Hidden God? It's because it likes to hide in the deep sea and never show its face. Even Mount Ling can't find it, so where am I supposed to get its hide?"
He Lingchuan continued, "If the Heavenly Demon were to use the Hidden God Monarch to replicate a human body, you say generating a brain wouldn't be easy. But what if they used a pre-existing brain?"
Dong Rui's brows furrowed immediately: "You mean, transplant?"
"Back then, wasn't this the same method used by the master of Honglu to reform Tong Xun?" He Lingchuan knew that Dong Rui had later discovered that Cao Wendao had not only transferred Xiao An's soul into Tong Xun's body, but had also transferred his entire brain into it!
The two organisms clearly had different brain capacities, so Cao Wendao only performed a partial transplant, and Xiao An survived. This method was nothing short of miraculous, even Dong Rui admired it greatly.
"Although Cao Wendao is dead, the Heavenly Palace is full of talented people. Surely Cao Wendao wasn't the only one who was proficient in this craft?"
"This..." Dong Rui shook his head repeatedly, "It's not that easy, it's still not that easy! Transplanting a brain isn't as simple as just digging it out of the original body and putting it directly into the new body; there are countless blood vessels and nerves that need to be connected. Tong Xun himself is a mature biological entity, and although he's not human, he also has these blood vessels and nerves. But can the body replicated by the Hidden God have these?"
"Don't ask me," He Lingchuan said, raising his hands. "Isn't this something you should be researching?"
Dong Rui was a bit irritable because although He Lingchuan's question was unprofessional, the direction he was heading might not actually be impossible.
He casually pulled out a fishbone, picked his teeth, and said, "Alright, alright, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now. I brought back quite a few things from Thousand-Eye Cave, and I'll continue my research later."
"Go."
Dong Rui asked the banquet hall for two jars of fine wine, saying he wanted to bring them to his aunt, and then slipped away.
He Lingchuan then returned to the gathering hall and saw Du Shan and You Huan huddled in a corner, chatting and laughing.
Both of them are pillars of the nation, both are extremely shrewd, and both want to help their respective emperors formulate national policies.
They openly and secretly regard each other as rivals, but at the moment, they seem to be having a particularly pleasant conversation, almost to the point of putting their arms around each other.
The Soul-Capturing Mirror snorted, "Not a single one of them is any good!"
He Lingchuan laughed and said, "If they are good people, should I be the bad guy?"
……
Three days later, Mu Guo and Cang Yan announced a series of bilateral agreements.
In fact, the contents of the agreement were basically drafted before the two emperors met, and only minor adjustments were made in the past two days.
When monarchs of great powers meet, they usually do not discuss the details of affairs; those are handled by their subordinates, unless the matter itself is of such great importance that the subordinates cannot make a decision.
The agreement essentially involves deepening cooperation between the two countries. Cangyan will provide various goods to Muguo at more affordable prices, the two countries will offset each other's trade tariffs, lower the investment threshold, and Muguo will relocate dozens of sects to Cangyan, all of which have long-standing traditions and well-established cultivation systems.
They brought the person and their cultivation techniques together.
This is also what Cang Yan urgently needs right now.
The resurgence of spiritual energy in the world has led to a surge in demand for cultivation techniques within the country. Although the Nine Nether Emperor brought out a batch of cultivation methods from Panlong City, most people's path to cultivation requires apprenticeship; practicing blindly on their own can easily lead to qi deviation—cultivation has never been an easy task throughout history. In ancient times, while there were many cultivators and immortals, there were even more commoners.
There are readily available training methods, but there are no true masters.
The eastward relocation of these sects can effectively alleviate the serious lack of a complete cultivation and teaching system within Cangyan.
Therefore, even though the Cangyan court officials had some doubts about the composition of these sects in the Mu Kingdom, the Nine Nether Emperor still decided to open the door and let them in, because the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.
In extraordinary times, don't just focus on secondary conflicts.
It's all benefits and no side effects. Where in the world can you find such a good thing?
Following this meeting between the rulers, the state of Mou gained the support of Cang Yan, and its battle against Bei Jia became more circuitous but resolute.
The fierce war between the two great powers did not end as quickly as many people had hoped. It lasted from autumn to the following spring, and then into the height of summer, with no sign of stopping.
