Chapter 18: Horrible Child
Translator: NinetalesEditor: Ninetales
Qin Mu’s vision suddenly went dark, and when regained control of his consciousness, he discovered that it was in statue!
”What just happened?” he thought to himself.
Qin Mu opened his ”eyes” and tried using them to look around, realizing that he actually could. He then tried to turn his head and discovered that his consciousness had one.
He looked down and noticed that his consciousness had merged with the statue, and that the statue’s limbs were his limbs!
A person’s consciousness was supposed to be formless, but his currently had a tangible shape. This situation was incredibly strange!
Qin Mu felt as if this statue was a kind of spirit. It seemed like energy or a soul, yet it was neither. He found it extremely difficult to explain the feeling it gave him.
”Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure... Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure… Could this statue be my spirit embryo and only be awakened if I merge my consciousness with it? Is this what Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure means?”
Qin Mu blinked the eyes of his spirit embryo as he understood many things in that instant.
Of the seven great divine treasures of the human body, the Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure was the first. However this divine treasure normally lay sealed. Since ordinary people couldn’t unseal it, they naturally wouldn’t be able to awaken their spirit embryo.
The Spirit Embryo Divine Treasures of people with Spirit Bodies, on the other hand, would already be opened. As a result, they would only need matching spirit blood to guide their consciousness to their spirit embryo to awaken it.
This meant that a person’s spirit embryo could contain a person’s consciousness.
Maybe the gods didn’t bestow spirit embryos upon humanity. Maybe they had purposely sealed them away instead.
Thinking up to that point, Qin Mu suddenly felt his vital qi flood into the sea of light from outside his Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure. His tiny spirit embryo absorbed traces of vital qi, and as the vital qi went in and out of its nose, it gave Qin Mu a very soothing feeling.
Every time the spirit embryo took a breath, his vital qi became much purer!
In addition to that, Qin Mu realized that his spirit embryo was also absorbing the golden light of the sea around it. As the light travelled in and out of his body alongside his vital qi, it would mingle with the vital qi. However, Qin Mu wasn’t sure what that did.
He tried to make his spirit embryo stand up, but discovered that this little baby couldn’t move, much stand.
”How do I move my spirit embryo? Hm... I should go back to the village to ask Village Chief, Granny Si, and everyone about it.”
Halfway through this thought, Qin Mu’s consciousness suddenly returned to his body, and he opened his eyes.
Violent coughing could be heard from inside the temple. The monster that resembled a young girl hadn’t died yet. It was kneeling in front of the buddha statue coughing up huge amounts of blood.
After a moment of contemplation, Qin Mu walked into the temple.
Seeing Qin Mu actually enter the temple completely surprised the monster and it struggled to get up.
Walking towards it, Qin Mu said the devil incantation. ”Qi ke duo sa mo ye, bo re bo re sa mo ye, qi ke duo bo re sa mo ye!”
”How dare you continued being insolent, you evil creature!”
The monster girl’s skin crawled as it heard the golden buddha behind it begin to move again. Golden rays of light radiated from it, and the chains around it started to rattle, forcing the monster to grovel on the floor again!
”An ma ni ba mi hong!”
The buddha voice rang out, causing the monster to spit blood and go limp.
Then Qin Mu stopped imitating the devil voice’s chant, and the golden buddha recited its incantation one more time before going silent as well. The monster at the foot of the buddha statue was breathing heavily, and just as it was about to try getting up, Qin Mu started chanting the devil incantation again. The monster shrieked in fear and immediately tried to hide behind the buddha statue. However, it didn’t expect Qin Mu to stop chanting after uttering just the first two words.
”You’re a devil…!” the monster shouted in a hoarse voice, peeking its head out to gaze at Qin Mu where he stood in the hall of the temple. ”You’re the devil! You’re the most vicious, evil devil!”
Qin Mu didn’t respond to the monster’s insults and instead slowly walked forward until he arrived in front of the buddha statue. After hesitating for a moment, he still decided to follow the advice of blind, who was an experienced wanderer, and paid his respects to it.
”This little one has weak kidneys and a frail body. My primordial yang has long since dispersed…”
When the monster girl heard him say this, it coughed up blood and laughed, its eyes bulging in disbelief. ”Little one, you’re telling the buddha statue that you have weak kidneys and a frail body? It won’t help you!”
Qin Mu stared at the monster blankly. ”Qi ke duo sa mo ye…”
