I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Chapter 3144: Chapter 1608: Three Souls in One Body, Cao Erzhu, Uncle Dog Path Points the Way_4
 

Suddenly, the spilt water was recollected.

The Celestial Scroll unfurled from under Cao Erzhu’s feet, and a beam of Heavenly Mechanism Mysterious Light descended upon him, rapidly repairing his body.

Limbs, torn yet connected by threads, followed the flow of blood to reattach themselves…

Eyes were grabbed and shoved into his mouth, then extracted and wiped across his nostrils before being fitted back into their sockets…

The wounds on his body healed bit by bit, his robust muscles ceased tearing, appearing as perfect as jade sculpture…

Cao Erzhu’s facial features all returned to their simple and honest appearance from before.

But this time, after a slight movement of his features…

A mischievous force, that should not have been present, appeared in his eyes!

An unattainable smirk that could take a lifetime to learn now played at the corners of his mouth!

Cao Erzhu opened his mouth, his voice no longer deep and heavy but unexpectedly gentle:

“How could that be?”

“Not only is he your nephew, I held him when he was so small, too!”

Cao Erzhu… no, Dao Qiongcang lifted his two large arms, awkwardly mimicking the motion of cradling a baby.

After a pause, Erzhu’s eyebrows were lifted high by him:

“Indeed, you’re here as well!”

The Divine remained silent.

I’m here too?

What does that mean?

You possess his body, and you know I’m within him as well?

This seemed completely unforeseen, but if it was Dao Qiongcang… The Divine stopped pondering and coldly sneered, “Dao Qiongcang, Kui Leihan will kill you.”

“Watch out for yourself!” Cao Erzhu’s hands cradled his belly as he burst into laughter, but the voice that came out was that of Dao Qiongcang:

“The Divine, you’ve got guts.”

“This is Erzhu, you have a good relationship with his father, and you want to possess his body?”

After a pause, Dao Qiongcang spoke mockingly and fluently:

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll tattle to Cao Yihan? You, so great and mighty, deign to possess Erzhu—have you ever respected his privacy?”

“You’d do anything to stay alive, utterly heartless!”

“What makes you different from a beast today?”

“The ‘At the Gates of Hell, even The Divine is revered,’ ‘With the Overlord in hand, the world is mine’—where did they go?”

“You hid for more than two decades in the City of the Dead Bodhisattva; I thought you were cultivating, but have you regressed instead?”

“You’d be better off having slit your own throat than speaking to me from inside your nephew’s body; if I were you, I’d shut up right now!”

The Divine fell silent.

He had taught Xiang’er how to deal with Dao Qiongcang.

Who would have thought that upon meeting again, he couldn’t help but speak out.

He should’ve remained silent from the start, not giving the man a chance to provoke him, and certainly not letting him dictate when to shut up.

The Divine, truly silent now.

He didn’t want to give Dao Qiongcang any more leverage.

“Well well, a coward with no guts, afraid to utter even a peep.”

Dao Qiongcang sneered coldly, bent down to pick up a clump of organs from the ground—the surface layer “handshake” that had been repaired that day, meant for Kui Lei to cleanse.

The true Great God Descending Technique seal was burned into his memory, and if Cao Yihan had mastery of the Memory Path, he could indeed cleanse it.

Unfortunately for him, he was lightning-type, not memory-type.

“The Divine, I’m not like you; there’s a reason I’m in Erzhu’s body, and of course, I’ve preserved his soul.”

Dao Qiongcang patted the clump of organs, activating the second layer of the great array contained within, which could trap Cao Erzhu’s soul.

Whether to confine it or exchange it.

Anyway, having possessed Erzhu, he had nothing to say to Kui Lei, and using his son’s soul to trade for something seemed good.

Now that The Divine was also here, that was even better.

There’s safety in numbers, the soul needed to be well protected, as a matter of sentiment.

Yet when the saint’s will swept through, the spiritual array was void of anything.

Cao Erzhu’s soul was gone.

“What!”

In this moment, even Dao Qiongcang’s hand shook involuntarily.

Erzhu, dead?

Images of apocalyptic thunderstorms flashed through his mind.

How could Erzhu die? If he died, who would contain that turmoil of storms?

Before he could utter a word, a strange voice arose in his mind:

“Uncle, is this the way you decided to stay within me?”

Cao Erzhu?

Hallmaster Dao was startled.

The Divine also started with shock, and after a moment of stupefaction, he understood something.

This guy, after the Possession process, had he returned to his own body through the ways of Hell Path?

Still inside his own body, yet the body was no longer his own… The Divine felt bitterness multiplying in his heart, “Hallmaster Dao, what fine mess have you created!”

As soon as Hallmaster Dao heard Erzhu’s voice, he forgot everything about The Divine and did not care how Erzhu managed to stay in his mind. He said,

“Erzhu, do you want to experience the feeling of a ‘Divine Battle’?”

Cao Erzhu was silent.

He didn’t have a shred of a good impression of this weird uncle.

Especially since this guy wasn’t getting along with Uncle Yi, which further proved how right his old man was:

Those who played with such patterns, not one was a good person.

Except for Brother Shou.

Hallmaster Dao knew all too well the temper of children, and with a laugh, he said:

“Your Uncle Yi is a coward, taking hold of your body; you can only wait for death. Therefore, he entices you with kind words, making you not develop a heart of disgust towards him.”

“Your Dao uncle, on the other hand, doesn’t have that many tricky plans and wicked intentions. I swear, I’m only borrowing your body for a bit and will return it right after the battle is done.”

Ah?

Is that so?

Cao Erzhu was confused, Dao Uncle, Yi Uncle, which one was the good uncle? It should be Yi Uncle, right!

The Divine remained silent.

Hallmaster Dao laughed again and said:

“Or let’s put it this way, your Brother Shou is now fighting the Cursed Yin Evil God to the death. Your Uncle Yi takes your body, ordering you to stay put and not to move.”

“I don’t know what he is thinking, but he certainly can’t be someone from the Cursed Yin Evil God, can he? He’s so powerful and even has the beautiful legend of ‘At the Gates of Hell, even The Divine is revered’~”

Brother Shou?

Brother Shou is in danger?

Cao Erzhu panicked. He wanted to help.

“He’s going to die!”

Hallmaster Dao spread out Erzhu’s hand, and with a shrug, he said, “Your Uncle Yi has gone silent!”

“Yi is not that kind of person!”

Cao Erzhu could see a person’s true nature, just as he could see the likeliness of powerful old immortal Mei.

He believed in Uncle Yi’s character. Perhaps he just didn’t know…

“Ignorance is also a fault.”

“Foolishness is an even more unforgivable evil.”

Hallmaster Dao let out a light chuckle, knowing when to stop, not trampling on The Divine anymore. He no longer needed to elevate himself and simply said:

“Choose!”

“I could also look out for your Brother Shou because I also don’t want you to get hurt, let alone send you to your demise.”

“After all, we are up against the Cursed Yin Evil God…”

Cao Erzhu did not hesitate: “I want to help!”

“Very well.”

Hallmaster Dao tapped Erzhu’s forehead, his interest piqued, and said:

“But you need to know, you and The Divine need to do nothing, one speaks a word, the other is even silent.”

“And I, for this reason, may need to pay a price as high as life itself, to participate in the evil god’s war.”

Cao Erzhu’s heart was reluctant: “Sorry for troubling you.”

Hallmaster Dao laughed heartily: “Actually, it’s no trouble. I am also a friend of Xu Xiaoshou…”

“How about this!”

He paused, calmly saying: “Say ‘Yi dog, get out of my body,’ and I’ll go save Xu Xiaoshou.”

The Divine raged.

Cao Erzhu was caught in a dilemma; he simply couldn’t say it, as Yi was his Teacher.

Hallmaster Dao gave a resigned chuckle, waving his hand and said:

“I’m just teasing you.”

“Call me Uncle Dao, and Uncle will take you to fight the evil god.”

Call him uncle…

Cao Erzhu was even more hesitant.

His old man had said, this guy, he’s definitely not a good person!

“Good, let Xu Xiaoshou and the rest of them die for all I care, he was just a frie…”

“No!”

Cao Erzhu urgently interrupted: “Uncle! Uncle Dao! Please save my Brother Shou!”
