After giving Ling Xi another glance, Feng Qiwu then switched to a comfortable position, reclining on the lounge chair, and quietly watched Ling Xi’s incredibly calm expressionless "welcome ceremony" for Witch Doctor Gu He.
Witch Doctor Gu He’s mouth was firmly bound, making it impossible for him to utter any cries.
After the entire set of welcome rituals, Witch Doctor Gu He’s gaze towards Feng Qiwu was already filled with shock and fear.
He thought he had lived so many years and could endure any painful experiences.
But once he reverted to an ordinary person, he realized he could endure nothing!
What Heavenly Dao’s child, this man in front of him was clearly a devil, right?
He was unbelievably calm as he had his subordinates inflict extreme punishments on him.
For a moment, he even thought he would be better off dead!
Feng Qiwu lazily withdrew his hand at this point, looking at Witch Doctor Gu He with a cold and stern expression.
Ling Xi then rudely tore the cloth from Witch Doctor Gu He’s mouth.
"Whatever the Crown Prince asks, you answer everything. Otherwise, you know the consequences of angering His Highness... What you just experienced was only an appetizer, understand?" Ling Xi said indifferently.
Witch Doctor Gu He shivered slightly.
"Understood, understood! What do you want to know? I’ll speak whatever I know with complete transparency." Witch Doctor Gu He instinctively tightened his hands but quickly realized that all his finger bones were broken and he couldn’t clench them.
Just when he thought Feng Qiwu would ask him about matters concerning the Divine Dynasty, he heard Feng Qiwu coldly ask: "So, why did you try to possess Susu?"
Witch Doctor Gu He paused for a moment.
Seeing this, Feng Qiwu gave him an indifferent glance, "You have one chance to live, dare to speak half a lie, and I guarantee you won’t get the chance to regret."
"I understand! I understand!"
Then he swallowed hard and said with tense vocal cords: "Because... because she possesses the Taiyin Body, which is most suitable for cultivating the Nine Yin Manual."
"Taiyin Body?" Feng Qiwu narrowed his eyes.
"Precisely, Taiyin Body is one of the strongest constitutions for cultivation. I got hold of a Nine Yin Manual from the Divine Dynasty before, it’s a top-tier cultivation technique. Not only is the Taiyin Body twice as efficient in cultivating this technique, it can also maximize its power several times. The downside is I’m male, so my cultivation of this technique was highly limited. Later, I was hunted down by the Divine Dynasty and fell here, only to set up an array before my death to wait for a fated person." Witch Doctor Gu He explained.
"Oh, and how did you know a Taiyin Body would appear here?" Feng Qiwu asked.
Witch Doctor Gu He quickly replied, "Because I consulted people from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, who calculated there was a slim chance of survival by escaping here."
Of course, he didn’t just randomly pick a place to hide.
Otherwise, hiding in a deserted place, as the ages pass, he might never encounter a single person.
"Aren’t you afraid of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect people leaking your whereabouts to the Divine Dynasty?" Feng Qiwu looked sharply at him.
Witch Doctor Gu He shook his head and said, "They wouldn’t. If the Heavenly Mechanism Sect people break their word, even if I don’t seek them out, the Heavenly Dao itself will punish them."
The people from Heavenly Mechanism Sect deal with unraveling heavenly secrets, and if they make a slight mistake, they would suffer backlash, causing great disaster.
Therefore, they dare not leak any of his matters.
Feng Qiwu was noncommittal about this. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽
And continued: "Then earlier... did you attempt possession on Susu?"
Upon hearing this, Witch Doctor Gu He couldn’t help but show a bitter smile.
"Finally encountering a Taiyin Body, of course, I wanted to possess it!" Witch Doctor Gu He spoke with a wistful air.
He quickly added under Feng Qiwu’s icy gaze, "But I never expected she would have the Merfolk King Pearl, directly shattering my concealment Jade Coral, and also had such dense dragon energy on her! I couldn’t even enter her body, let alone possess her!"
He truly didn’t expect himself to be so unlucky!
Feng Qiwu finally felt relieved when he heard Witch Doctor Gu He mention the Merfolk King Pearl and dragon energy.
Originally, he was blaming himself for not protecting Susu well.
But it seemed, although he wasn’t by her side at the time, he had helped her indeed.
With a light snort, Feng Qiwu suddenly asked, "Then do you know the Pure Yang Body?"
"Pure Yang Body? Naturally, I know of it. It’s also a very powerful special constitution, though slightly inferior compared to the Taiyin Body," Witch Doctor Gu He said.
Upon hearing this, Feng Qiwu pondered for a moment and then asked, "Do you know of any constitution that can spontaneously absorb Star Power?"
Witch Doctor Gu He was taken aback.
A look of contemplation showed on his face.
"I do know a bit about constitution that can spontaneously absorb Star Power," Witch Doctor Gu He said.
"Speak!" Feng Qiwu said indifferently.
Witch Doctor Gu He quickly nodded, "I’ve heard of only two types of constitutions that can spontaneously absorb Star Power."
"One is called the Supreme Furnace Ding Constitution, people with this constitution are born able to absorb Star Power, nourishing others."
Then he continued, "The other is rumored to be a special constitution mutated from the Chaos Body called the Innate Chaos Sword Body."
"The practitioners with this constitution are not only natural Sword Cultivators, but their Chaos Bone can also spontaneously absorb Star Power. However, I’ve only read about this constitution in ancient books, I’m not clear about the specifics."
Upon hearing this, Feng Qiwu unconsciously clenched his fists.
Innate Chaos Sword Body?
"And what else? I mean about the Chaos Sword Body, anything else special?" Feng Qiwu asked in a deep voice.
Seeing Feng Qiwu’s deep and profound gaze, Witch Doctor Gu He became slightly uneasy and asked, "Special?"
"Isn’t having both Sword Bone and Chaos Bone special enough?" Witch Doctor Gu He cautiously said.
Feng Qiwu coldly looked at him, "Isn’t it?"
Does he need to say it again?
Witch Doctor Gu He quickly added, "I remembered something, the book mentioned that practitioners of the Innate Chaos Sword Body often get injured by Sword Qi within before their Sword Bone can be controlled. It’s only when they control their Sword Bone that they return to normal, otherwise, the Sword Qi would eventually cut off their meridians, leading to death."
Having either Chaos Bone or Sword Bone alone is already defying the heavens.
But the Innate Chaos Sword Body possesses both.
Such individuals would invite jealousy even from the heavens, wouldn’t they?
Therefore, this physique, despite being powerful, would suffer countless hardships before Sword Qi within the body can be controlled freely.
If unable to endure, the consequence is death and the end of one’s path.
