Chapter 366: Hunter or Prey?

At the sight of this, Minghe went into a reverie. In the end, he shook his head and flew over to the throne. Looking at the chipped and dimmed Haotian Mirror, he reflected somewhat. Finally, he sighed for Haotian, or whatever that might be.

He picked up the Haotian Mirror to closely scrutinize it. Chipped as it was, it was still acceptable. Besides, it had been a Highest Grade Primordial Supreme Treasure. After some repairing, it would be brand new and as powerful as if it were used for the first time. It was more capable than the Haotian Mirror in the Ninth Period, a priceless treasure.

Moreover, the Eighth Period Haotian left his Spiritual Inheritance in it. Although it was not that necessary, stones from other hills might serve to polish jade, so he could use it as a supplement. Besides, the Spiritual Inheritance in the Haotian Mirror really intrigued him. He then started converting it.

”What?” The Haotian Mirror shone very brightly when Minghe was absorbed in converting it. A silver light shot to space from between Minghe's eyebrows, and then the entire Heavenly Court seemed to be activated. The lights became nine silver chains that tied Minghe to the throne. In the meantime, another strong power joined to suppress him.

In Minghe's Sea of Consciousness, Haotian's figure showed up, still in the form of a ghost. His ghost now was much more intact than before. But, Minghe's Original Spirit was chained in front of Haotian by nine silver chains. Haotian laughed at the sight of this. ”Hahaha...”

Haotian laughed hard, but Minghe was still calm. He did not get startled, as if he was not chained at all. Looking at the triumphant Haotian, Minghe just said, ”I see. You've planned to possess my body for your rebirth?”

Haotian stopped laughing and echoed him. ”Yes, I have. Indeed, I can build myself a new body for rebirth, but that kind of body has limits. I don't want to degrade my achievements in the future. Thus, I decided to use possession and rebirth. Though it also has limits, I can manage to remove them.”

Possession and rebirth were like a dove occupying a magpie's nest. However, it risked causing a discordance between the Original Spirit and the body, thus affecting one's cultivation and performance. Hence, this would usually be the last resort. But, you could spend a lot of time to erase the discordance by nourishing your body with the Power of Original Spirit.

Of course, there was a shortcut, which was to completely devour the Original Spirit of the one possessed. This way, it would save a lot of time. But, because of the devoured Original Spirit, the possessor would, in some way, acquire the emotions and habits and other things of the possessed. Moreover, this kind of influence would be amplified with external stimulations.

Haotian sneered at Minghe's Original Spirit and said, ”Minghe, it seems like you practice Tao of the body, since your Original Spirit is so tiny. Now your body is tied in the Heavenly Court, and your Original Spirit is also chained. You are a lost soul. You can only blame it on your carelessness and greed.”

”Oh, really?” A voice echoed from behind Haotian. Haotian's face turned pale when he saw Minghe standing there, with an Original Spirit much stronger than the one that he had tied. Moreover, a Golden Wheel of Merit appeared around Minghe. You could imagine how scared Haotian was.

”How did you...” Haotian was speechless. Then, he turned to Minghe's chained Original Spirit. It was vanishing into the air and the silvers chains also faded away. Moreover, Haotian was unable to feel the Haotian Mirror and Heavenly Court, as if he had been disconnected.
