If a Golden Core Stage Cultivator could successfully cultivate all four of these secret techniques to advanced levels, they could certainly establish a powerful force with their aid.
Yet it is unknown where Murong Luo found such an opportunity.
Sadly, though he had the chance, he clearly lacked the good fortune to fully enjoy this opportunity.
Now that it has fallen into Zhou Chun's hands, it will surely flourish under his control.
After reviewing the four secret techniques in the Jade Tome, Zhou Chun did not break his promise, and immediately took Murong Luo to find a suitable body to possess.
For safety's sake, Zhou Chun still sealed Murong Luo's cultivation level and consciousness.
In truth, finding a body suitable for Murong Luo to possess was not very difficult.
In Black Mist Marsh, it was common for cultivators to perish daily, and even Foundation Establishment Cultivators were not rare.
Zhou Chun only needed to expand the search area and wait a bit longer, and he would definitely find a suitable deceased Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Of course, he had another option, which was to personally kill a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
This time he chose the latter.
After searching for seven days in Black Mist Marsh, he found a suitable target.
It was a Mid Foundation Establishment Cultivator, wrapped in Evil Qi, a Bandit Cultivator.
When Zhou Chun came upon this person, they were robbing a team of cultivators adventuring in Black Mist Marsh.
This team had but one Initial Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator and four Late Stage Qi Refinement Cultivators, no match for him.
By the time Zhou Chun arrived, two of the Qi Refinement Cultivators had already fallen victim to him.
Then, Zhou Chun easily captured this Bandit Cultivator, ignoring the thanks of the survivors and flew into the depths of Black Mist Marsh.
Upon arriving at a small island, Zhou Chun first awoke Murong Luo, then pointed to the Bandit Cultivator he had knocked out and said, "Does this person suit Fellow Murong's taste?"
Hearing this, Murong Luo glanced at the Bandit Cultivator and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Satisfied, very satisfied, please release the seal on me so that I can perform the Soul Exchange Technique!"
"Since Fellow Murong is satisfied, I am at ease."
Zhou Chun smiled faintly and immediately formed a spell to remove the seal from Murong Luo.
At this point, despite having his cultivation level, Murong Luo had neither Magic Artifacts nor Talismans at hand, so Zhou Chun was naturally not worried about him turning on him after recovering his cultivation level.
Murong Luo himself was also aware of this, and immediately after regaining his cultivation level, he cast a Second Order Ice Element Technique to instantly kill the lying Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Then he sat down cross-legged with a solemn expression and began to cast the "Soul Exchange Technique."
To Zhou Chun, after about the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Murong Luo's Divine Soul transformed into a wisp of red light that shot out from his forehead and swiftly entered the forehead of the deceased Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
A moment later, the eyes of the deceased cultivator snapped open, and it came to life.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun quickly asked, "How does Fellow Murong feel?"
"It feels about the same as described in the classics. I've just successfully possessed this body and control over it is still raw; I need some time to adapt before I can fully master it."
"Murong Luo" blinked, his voice slightly stammering as he spoke.
Hearing this response, Zhou Chun nodded thoughtfully and then said, "Good, since Fellow Murong has successfully possessed a body, my oath has also been fulfilled. I will not linger here any longer!"
Without waiting for "Murong Luo" to reply, he waved his hand, putting Murong Luo's previous body into the Storage Pouch, and then transformed into a streak of golden light and left the place.
"Phew, that bastard's finally gone, and I've finally saved my own life!"
On the island, watching the golden light disappear without a trace, "Murong Luo" exhaled deeply, his eyes revealing a relieved joy.
Then he hurriedly closed his eyes and started to familiarize himself with the new body.
But before long, a powerful Demon Beast aura came barreling towards him, and soon a black giant lizard that reeked of stench appeared within his Divine Sense.
"A Third Order Inferior Blackwater Poison Lizard!"
"Murong Luo's" face changed drastically as he instantly recognized the origin of the black giant lizard.
Then, as if realizing something, he bellowed angrily, "Damn it, I've been tricked!!"
Indeed, he had been cheated.
Zhou Chun could not possibly let an enemy who had formed a deadly grudge live.
Thus, when making the Heart Demon Oath, he had already figured out how to circumvent the Heart Demon Oath and kill him.
The method was simple: let someone else do the killing.
Zhou Chun could not personally take action against Murong Luo after the possession, but that only applied to him and his Spirit Pets.
Other Demon Beasts wanting to kill Murong Luo had nothing to do with him.
And he hadn't done anything really; he had merely let Murong Luo possess a body near the territory of this Third Order Inferior Demon Beast, Blackwater Poison Lizard.
Then, when he left, his exposed aura had simply been noticed by the Blackwater Poison Lizard.
As for whether the Blackwater Poison Lizard would kill Murong Luo, the Human Cultivator, that was not his concern!
But that outcome, Zhou Chun need not even ponder.
Two months later, Zhou Chun returned to Tianyuan Immortal City and conveyed through Luo Qingni, the intermediary, that Murong Luo had been executed to the Xiahou Family. They were to bring the Yellow Dragon Stone in exchange for the corpse.
After completing this affair, Zhou Chun quickly returned to his own cave dwelling.
As soon as he entered Tianyuan Immortal City, he had already established a mental connection with the Golden Armor Rock Turtle, Stone, and knew that it had awakened.
Since the outcome for Stone was already determined, Zhou Chun did not rush to see the result but instead managed to complete the exchange of the Yellow Dragon Stone first.
Now that everything was in order, he naturally wanted to go back and reveal the outcome.
