Chapter 1015 - 1014: Persuasion into Demonic Possession
"What? Even Master Wufa can’t deal with him, then who can?" Chen Tianlong was frustrated.
"The Demon-breaking Sword!" Master Wufa went straight to the point.
"Then... hurry up and give me the Demon-breaking Sword, I’ll go and take down the Zombie King." Chen Tianlong was elated upon hearing there was a chance.
"The Demon-breaking Sword isn’t for everyone to wield. To unleash its true power, one must first become a demon. Only after becoming a demon, with a body possessing Thunder Element attributes and a very clear state of mind, can one achieve this. Otherwise, once possessed by a demon and unable to turn back, even if you kill the Zombie King, you will become the second Zombie King, which makes no difference."
Master Wufa informed truthfully.
"Become a demon?"
Chen Tianlong took a breath, finding this idea somewhat terrifying.
"Yes, it’s up to you. If you plan to spend a lifetime here with me, then stay. However, I don’t have much food here, and you might not survive a week." Master Wufa stated plainly.
"Hiss~"
Chen Tianlong was a bit dejected, but after thinking, he asked, "Master Wufa, is there no other way?"
Master Wufa shook his head.
Chen Tianlong gritted his teeth; he absolutely couldn’t let these girls die here, especially Wu Mengting and Lin Wushuang, they still have beautiful lives to live.
Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong asked, "How can I become a demon?"
"Come with me!" Instead of explaining, Master Wufa led Chen Tianlong straight towards a building...
Meanwhile, Wu Mengting noticed Chen Tianlong hadn’t returned for a long time and was worried, so she said to the group, "Chen Tianlong might be in trouble, let’s go find him."
"Hmm, I think so too." Lin Wushuang unusually agreed with Wu Mengting, worried about Chen Tianlong’s safety.
If they were in the South Sea City, she wouldn’t have thought this way, but this place felt too peculiar. All of this exceeded her imagination; she never believed that there would be zombies in this world, yet she encountered them firsthand, leaving her no choice but to believe.
Ouyang Meijia and the others nodded too; Chen Tianlong always acted cautiously, and now he hadn’t returned for so long, something must have happened.
The seven of them walked forward, and Master Wufa also canceled the Illusion Array, as he had initiated it to attract Chen Tianlong, and now that Chen Tianlong had arrived, there was no need to activate it anymore.
It was all destined, since Chen Tianlong had Thunder Element attributes, indicating he should belong to the Demon Exorcism Race. Even if possessed by a demon, there was a glimmer of hope for returning.
Through the previous conversation, Master Wufa could conclude that Chen Tianlong’s obsession was pure, driven by love, unlike Kong Fan’s greed.
After walking for a few minutes, the seven of them finally detected the scent of incense ahead, implying there were people.
"There seems to be someone over there." Wu Mengting smiled slightly; if there were people, Chen Tianlong might be inside, possibly having discovered something which delayed his return.
Indeed, upon entering the hall, the seven saw two young monks cleaning the chairs inside. Seeing them, the monks said, "Seven patrons, please stop. The master instructed you to wait in the hall."
"Ah? Master? Are you referring to Master Wufa?" Wu Mengting, having heard Chen Tianlong mention Master Wufa’s name before, asked.
Since they were at the Moon Viewing Pavilion, the master here could only be Master Wufa.
"Yes, he instructed you to wait here for a while. Also, he’s discussing something with the person you’re looking for, and asked you to wait patiently," one of the young monks informed.
Relieved by this news, everyone relaxed; since Chen Tianlong wasn’t in trouble, they were assured. They each found a chair to sit down, and started chatting.
Just like three women could make a market, seven women certainly wouldn’t run out of topics to talk about.
Though each of them was worried, chatting for a while helped ease their nerves.
Chen Tianlong was led by Master Wufa to a cavern on the mountain’s rear side; a vast cavern it was. Suddenly, a large pool appeared amid the cavern.
Curiously, not a single drop of water was in this pool.
Only to see Master Wufa wave at the pool, and a strong wind blew through, stirring up dust below. When the dust settled, a giant "demon" character became visible to the duo.
"What’s this?" Chen Tianlong asked, puzzled.
"This is the Demon Entrance Pool. After entering, let your blood flow into the Demon Seal, then run the Heart Method to absorb the Demonic Qi. The pool water will slowly emerge; when this Demon Seal is fully filled with absorbed Demonic Qi and fills the demon character, it’ll signify your successful demonic possession."
Master Wufa explained.
"Oh, what happens after demonic possession succeeds?" Chen Tianlong inquired.
"See that sword on the stone wall ahead? It’s sealed within the stone wall, meant to suppress demonic nature. Originally sealed by a venerable person a few centuries ago, it awaits a worthy individual to unseal it."
Master Wufa revealed the truth, "From the moment you entered the Moon Viewing Pavilion, I sensed the Thunder Element within you. You possess the fortitude to wield and unseal the Demon-breaking Sword. However, there’s risk; while I believe you can achieve it, I can’t ensure certainty. Furthermore, think it over carefully, possession is easy, but reversal is hard; becoming possessed may lead to eternal damnation."
"Hiss~"
Chen Tianlong inhaled sharply, pondered, and asked, "Master Wufa, can I see my friends one last time?"
At this moment, the ones Chen Tianlong wanted to see most were Wu Mengting and Lin Wushuang. Despite mixed emotions, it was those two he couldn’t let go of. One was a beloved, the other someone he wished to love but dared not.
"Go ahead, they’re in my living room." Master Wufa gracefully replied.
After all, regarding the matter of demonic possession, Master Wufa also had concerns. Chen Tianlong’s mind seemed clear, suggesting potential for recovery, but things were uncertain. If unresolved issues lingered in his heart, he might never awaken.
Having gained permission, Chen Tianlong swiftly returned to the hall, beaming upon seeing the group of beauties.
Perhaps after today, he would never turn back, perhaps this was their last meeting. Chen Tianlong couldn’t disclose this, as it would assuredly face obstruction.
At that point, chaos would ensue, trapping everyone here.
"Chen Tianlong."
"Tianlong.."
Two calls echoed, their affectionate tone almost brought tears to Chen Tianlong’s eyes; he fought back tears, smiling, he said, "Everyone, don’t worry. Though there’s a Zombie King outside, we will find a way out, trust me, I will definitely bring you all back to the South Sea City."
"Hmm, hmm, Chen Tianlong, I believe you." Wu Mengting stepped forward, gripping Chen Tianlong’s hand.
"I believe you too." Lin Wushuang nearly extended her hand but abruptly stopped, feeling an urge but refraining due to the presence of his girlfriend, cautiously avoiding inappropriate actions.
