Chapter 2202 The Most Peculiar Demon Immortal
Experiences and memories shape one's personality.
He Lingchuan's gaze shifted slightly: "Conversely, if the Bright Lamp is not used, the memories of possession or inheritance will be... missing?"
"Or remain asleep, remain sealed away." Emperor Mu was quite experienced with the Bright Lamp, saying, "If the memories don't awaken, the real 'you' will not wake up."
“Wake up…you won’t wake up…” He Lingchuan’s eyes flickered slightly. “Then, what about the power? Will the power that sleeps along with the ‘true self’ awaken?”
"That's a good question." The detailed question surprised Emperor Mu, but he still answered, "I'll tell you clearly, it's possible! But there will be reductions, and it won't be as good as when you were in your original form."
Only after receiving this clear answer did He Lingchuan feel somewhat at ease.
"What, are you trying to unravel the mystery of the womb for someone?" Emperor Mu acted very generously. "I still have a few 'Dark Lamp Grass' plants in my palace. If you need them, I will send someone to deliver them."
This is a priceless treasure. The ancient kingdom of Bo was destroyed because of a single 'bright lamp grass,' but Emperor Mou can accept it as a gift without batting an eye, treating it as nothing more than a trivial matter.
He Lingchuan didn't refuse: "Then thank you very much, Xin Jun."
At this point, a thought struck him. The Emperor Mu before him was actually an ancient monster who had lived from ancient times to the present, possessing vast knowledge and experience. Perhaps he could take this opportunity to seek his advice.
"Oh, right, there's one more piece of information I need to share with Xin Jun: The Great Demon King Jia Lou Tian of the Lingxu Clan recently captured a True Immortal named 'Hidden God Lord.' Does Xin Jun recognize him...?"
Before the question could be finished, Emperor Mu's expression changed:
"What! Hidden God Lord? Is your source reliable?"
His first loss of composure in front of He Lingchuan caused the latter's heart to sink.
"reliable!"
"Even He fell victim to this!" Emperor Mu sighed. "The true form of the Hidden God Lord is a powerful and mysterious sea monster that usually hides in the deep ocean. Even in ancient times, it rarely surfaced, so the world was unaware of its existence. During the ancient war, it only appeared two or three times in total."
He Lingchuan nodded. No wonder Naraku had never heard of the Hidden God Lord before; this demon immortal really loved to stay hidden.
Emperor Mou pondered: "All I know is that after the cataclysm, the dragon race suffered heavy losses and gradually disappeared. It seems that the Hidden God Lord took over a deep-sea dragon palace."
“Mount Ling invited Him many times before, but He ignored them all. The deep sea is indeed the best place to hide, but I never expected that He would be besieged by the Heavenly Demons at this time! Alas, it is indeed difficult to fight alone.”
"It sounds like this Hidden God Lord is eccentric?" He Lingchuan asked curiously. "What was His original form?"
No human can live in the deep sea; the Hidden God must not be human.
"The workings of nature are wondrous. Often, some individuals who defy common sense become immortals. For example, there were spirits of wood that became immortals, stubborn stones that became immortals, and some things that are difficult to classify that can also achieve enlightenment. We collectively call them extraordinary spirits."
"This Hidden God Lord is a different spirit. His uniqueness is probably unique in the heavens, the earth, and the sea." Emperor Mu lamented, "It is such a pity that he was killed by the Heavenly Demon."
He Lingchuan waited on the side, wondering how long he would keep him in suspense.
“I’ve studied it before. One of the original forms of the Hidden God is a translucent soft gel, which is neither like an animal nor a plant, but can reproduce continuously. It spreads on the seabed, picks up any food, and any living creatures in the sea will get stuck when they come into contact with the gel and then be preyed on.”
He Lingchuan nodded; it sounded like some kind of fungus.
"This soft gel prefers to stay near underwater volcanoes and mystic crystal veins. The Hidden God found two large mystic crystal veins, settled there, and was able to continuously grow stronger," Emperor Mou explained knowledgeably. "Five thousand years before the outbreak of the ancient war, it encountered another peculiar biological invasion. These were fleshy tube-shaped worms, invisible to the naked eye, but they moved in swarms and could secrete a hard exoskeleton. These two..."
Even with his experience, it took him several breaths to find a suitable word:
"These two creatures fought for two or three hundred years, but eventually they reconciled and became one family, developing a peculiar symbiotic relationship. That is, the insects can burrow into the soft glue and feed on the nutrients inside, but at the same time they can secrete a hard shell. Millions of insects working together can sculpt the soft glue's internal skeleton!"
He Lingchuan couldn't help but press his forehead.
It's like a soft, limp lump of jelly suddenly grows bones; just imagining it makes the scene seem incredibly beautiful.
"So it can stand up?"
"Indeed." Emperor Mu coughed. "Thus, the Hidden God Lord was born."
"So it's actually an amalgamation of two organisms?" He Lingchuan couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of the world.
Actually, those tube-shaped worms sound a bit like coral polyps.
“Yes,” said Emperor Mu. “With the support of the endoskeleton, the Hidden God Lord can not only leave the seabed and swim, but also create clones of different shapes.”
These words immediately put He Lingchuan on alert:
"Wait, create a clone?!"
“Soft rubber can be shaped at will, and now with the addition of a skeleton that can change at will, it can simulate the appearance of various deep-sea creatures, or even monsters.” Mu Di recalled, “I personally saw it transform into a grouper clone, which stayed in a school of giant groupers for two days without being discovered. Then it killed two giant groupers in a row, each weighing four or five hundred pounds.”
"After the Hidden God Lord became an immortal, his transformation techniques became even more remarkable. However, he was an isolated case; I have never heard of him having a second one of the same kind."
He Lingchuan asked in surprise, "These...these two kinds of creatures can also become immortals?"
Humans, as the most intelligent of all beings, endure countless trials and tribulations to become immortals, requiring techniques, cultivation, a steadfast heart, and the accumulation of karmic obstacles. How then do these extraordinary spirits cultivate themselves into immortals?
"The path to immortality is actually diverse, not limited to human methods. Look at all those demons in the world; after being enlightened by the Emperor's Elixir, they naturally know how to cultivate. That's talent, or rather, extraordinary talent—a gift bestowed upon them by Heaven." Emperor Mu shook his head. "Humans, on the other hand, haven't received this heavenly gift. They have to explore, summarize, and experiment on their own. And because humans have too many thoughts and distractions, they also create obstacles like inner demons and the Three Corpse Worms. It can only be said that there are gains and losses."
Heaven views all things as straw dogs, each with its own destiny. Humans are too clever, yet they are greatly lacking in this respect.
The question boils down to this: what does the Heavenly Demon want to do by capturing the Hidden God?
The Hidden God Lord is hiding in the deep sea, unknown to the world, so finding his whereabouts must be extremely difficult.
He Lingchuan frowned: "Back then, one of the important reasons why Miao Zhantian attacked the Inverted Sea was that he wanted to seize the body of True Person Qianhuan in order to generate a human-shaped external avatar!"
