Chapter 397: Divine Imperial Sect

Gu Shiyi was furious. He turned around and glared at the boy he had thrown to the ground, only to see that he had fainted with his eyes closed!

"Hehehehe..."

The skeleton was still laughing. At this time, the white light in the cave flashed twice and disappeared. Gu Shiyi walked to the cave entrance and tried to stretch out her hand. Immediately, a strong force bounced her hand back. Gu Shiyi frowned and looked again and again.

"What kind of formation is this? It seems to be used to trap monsters. Are you a human, a monster, or a ghost?"

The skeleton man turned around after hearing this and laughed strangely.

“Hehe… Hehe… Guess what!”

Gu Shiyi raised his eyebrows.
"There is no demonic aura about you..."

“Hehehe… Even if there is no demonic aura, it doesn’t necessarily mean it is not a demon… Hehehe…”

The skeleton man had been imprisoned here for hundreds of years. He was finally freed one day. He was so excited that he could not express it in words. He could only talk non-stop to vent his feelings. Without Gu Shiyi asking more questions, he just spoke all by himself.

"I am the 26th leader of the Shenyu Sect. The Shenyu Sect was also a big sect in the ancient times, but unfortunately it declined later on. When it came to me, there were only a hundred disciples. In order to revive the Shenyu Sect, I read through all the sect's classics and meditated in seclusion for three years before I created a set of skills that can merge one's soul with the body of a monster. After mastering it, one can possess the powerful body of a monster, which not only extends one's lifespan several times, but also allows one to practice the magic of both humans and monsters..."

Got it!
Gu Shiyi understood that this was another scientific madman with the same character as his dead grandfather!

He interrupted and said,
"Tsk, I thought it was something great, isn't it just taking over the body of a demon? This kind of thing has been done before!"

The Skeleton Man was furious when he heard this.
"How can that low-level technique be compared to my technique? When a human takes over the body of a demon, his own sea of ​​consciousness will be polluted and he will eventually fall into madness. Even if he doesn't go crazy, his realm will drop a large level and he will never be able to advance again in his lifetime!"

So God is very fair. The demons have strong bodies and humans have flexible minds. If the two are combined, they will naturally be invincible. But God doesn't allow this. If a human cultivator takes over the body of another human, if the soul and body do not repel each other, they can practice again and ascend to heaven. And if humans take over the body of an animal, they can also embark on the path of demon cultivation when the opportunity comes. But once an animal becomes a demon, they can no longer take over the body. The consequence of forcibly taking over the body is that the soul is polluted by the physical body, the sea of ​​consciousness is disordered, and they become crazy and stupid, and there will be no chance of ascending to the upper realm. They can only rely on the powerful body of the demon and live as long as they can in this world!

Look, there are rules between heaven and earth, and even those who practice Taoism and think they can defy fate cannot change them!

So what the skeleton said, that he could possess the wisdom of the human race and the body of the demon race at the same time, and could practice the magic of the two races at the same time, was a bit against the rules. Gu Shiyi smiled coldly after hearing this.

"Your skills are so powerful, how come you are locked up here? There must be some fatal flaw!"

The skeleton snorted coldly.
"What fatal flaw? It's just that it has to absorb the essence and blood of humans and monsters every month, and after absorbing it, it will lose all its spiritual power for an hour..."

After a pause he said,

"The amount of blood and essence used each month is not much..."

"Not much? How much?"

As Gu Shiyi asked, he calmly looked up and down, trying to find the key point of the formation in the cave. The skeleton man laughed loudly again.
"Don't waste your energy. I've been looking for it here for so many years and I can't find it. How could you possibly find it... Hehehe..."

After laughing, he said,

"Three humans and three demons in one month, is that too much?"

"Not much?"

Gu Shiyi rolled his eyes.
"Six per month, ninety-six per year. In ten or a hundred years, how many humans and monsters will you eat?"

The skeleton snorted,

"What does it matter? There are so many people and monsters in this world. Besides, I won't stay in this world forever. When I ascend to heaven, I won't need it anymore!"

Gu Shiyi was speechless after hearing this.
"You deserve it. No wonder your junior brother locked you up here!" The Skeleton Man got excited again when he talked about this.

"What kind of good person do you think he is? Do you think he is doing this for the sake of justice? He is after my technique. He has always coveted my technique. He has trapped me here for so many years just to force me to hand over the technique that integrates the human race..."

At this point he sneered,
“Hehehe…Does he think I’m stupid? If I don’t tell him the technique, I still have a glimmer of hope. If I tell him the technique, I’ll be the first person he sucks his blood from!”

"Uh-huh!"

Gu Shiyi nodded, with a look of "as expected".

"Based on your words and actions, it's not surprising that you have a junior brother like this!"

At this point, he asked,
"So what are you now? Are you a human, a demon, or a ghost?"

Speaking of this, the Skeleton Man roared again.
"It's all because of you. If you had appeared here fifty years ago, I wouldn't have become this half-human, half-ghost, half-demon!"

Once the skeleton man started practicing, he could not stop. After he was trapped here, his junior brother would send him people and monsters every once in a while. Later, his junior brother stopped coming, and the skeleton man could only endure it. He endured for more than ten years, and when his energy was about to run out, he found a way to break the restriction at the entrance of the cave. Although he still could not get out of the cave, he could open the entrance and lure some local mountain people, or passing wild beasts into the cave, so that he could suck their essence and blood.

But his skill is to absorb the essence and blood of humans and demons at the same time. In remote areas, the spiritual energy is not abundant. It is easy to find mountain people, but hard to find demons. Since beasts have not yet developed intelligence, he can still find ways to deceive them, but after the demons have developed intelligence, they have a natural premonition of danger. In all these years, he has only encountered two demon beasts passing by, and these two demon beasts were still several feet away from the cave entrance, but they sensed the danger and turned away early. He had no time to take action at all!

In the beginning, they could still kill one or two mountain people who came here to chop wood and hunt, but later, word of mouth spread and this place became a forbidden area, and even humans stopped coming here!
So the skeleton man endured for a few more years, but his physical body really couldn't bear it anymore and was about to die. However, he was unwilling to die like this, so he could only use an ancient evil method that he had seen in his early years to lock his soul, which was about to leave his body, within his physical body and became a walking corpse!
But the walking dead also need nourishment from blood and essence. The skeleton man was guarding his increasingly dried corpse in the cave. When he was about to despair, a daring boy who lost a bet with his companions came. This time he was smart and did not kill the boy who broke into the cave immediately. Instead, he used some tricks on the boy and gave him a bag, asking him to come and deliver fresh beasts every three days.

He didn't dare let the boy kill anyone, because there were few outsiders in this kind of place, and the locals all knew each other. If one person was missing, it would arouse everyone's vigilance. He didn't want to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, so he could only target the wild beasts in the mountains!

But beast blood has no spiritual energy, and his Taoism was almost destroyed. He was just hanging on to his life. After all this, the skeleton man himself didn't know whether he was a human, a monster or a ghost!
"Back then, I fused with a black sea bream with the blood of a true dragon. Unfortunately, its blood was too thin and its lifespan was only 500 years. If I had met you 50 years ago, I could have taken over your body, but now..."

Strictly speaking, he is now just a human evil ghost in the form of a demon mummy, and there is no way he can take over Gu Shiyi's strong and masculine body!

You still want to take over my body!
Can you take away my pure and innocent body just because you want to?
Daydream…you!

Gu Shiyi laughed loudly after hearing this. She was not worried at all about being unable to get out of the cave forever. She made a face at the skeleton and said,

"You deserve it. You're not destined to be like that. You'll be a walking corpse when you get out!"

The Skeleton Man was furious and laughed strangely.

"What are you so proud of! This formation was set up by my junior brother at the request of the formation master. It is specially used to imprison the demons. Even if you commit suicide right now, your demon soul will not be able to leave the formation. As long as no other demon enters, you will stay here forever until your soul disappears between heaven and earth!"

He couldn't get out because although his body was dead, it was still a demon body. As long as he had the breath of the demon clan, the formation would always imprison him. Of course, he could also leave his body, and his soul could naturally leave the formation, but his skills were too against the will of heaven. Once his soul left the formation, it would be a lonely ghost outside. If it entered the underworld, it would suffer all kinds of hardships. It would not be possible to be reborn as a human being, but only as a mosquito, insect or ant. The skeleton man would never be willing to accept this!
Gu Shiyi was not surprised but laughed instead, with a strange look on his face.
"Who said I can't get out? If you come in, won't I be able to get out?"

The skeleton man laughed strangely when he heard this.

"Are you dreaming? You think I'm going to go in there!"

After that, he burst into laughter again. Suddenly, he discovered something. He turned around abruptly and saw a petite and pretty woman suddenly appear in front of him. The woman looked at the skeleton indifferently, but said to Gu Shiyi in the cave,

"Eleven, you are too brave. If we have no way to unlock the formation mechanism in his cave, then you are wronged!"

Gu Shiyi in the cave laughed when he heard this.
"I was just careless. Who knew that I was just soft-hearted towards this kid and ended up putting myself in this situation?"

Pu Yanlan outside the cave sighed.

"Wait a minute, let me capture this monster, then I'll come and save you!"
