Chapter 1002 308: The Old Beggar's Identity_6

"Always muttering, giving me a headache!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongming was taken aback.

Beside him, Shen Chongxu and Li Qing curiously looked around but found nothing, nor did they hear any sound.

Seeing their expressions, the golden-haired monkey flipped over and instantly disappeared!

The next moment, a terrifying energy wave suddenly erupted in the sky above the small island!

Boom!

The golden-haired monkey's figure appeared in the void, and its terrifying fist directly struck a silhouette from the empty void, slamming it fiercely onto the rocks not far away!

As the dust settled, a tattered, emaciated figure lay sprawled in the pit, its gray-white eyes staring at the sky, still mumbling.

"I'm back, where did you all go?"

"Who am I?"

"Who knows who I am?"

Everyone stood at the edge of the pit, curiously observing the old beggar at the bottom.

At this moment, Shen Chongming's face was pale, and his expression was dazed.

Again!

This eerie old beggar had followed them again!

Noticing Shen Chongming's odd expression, Shen Chongxu frowned and asked, "Brother Ming, who is this?"

Shen Chongming shook his head slightly and slowly recounted the events after meeting the old beggar.

Upon hearing this, the golden-haired monkey and Li Qing both furrowed their brows.

"This thing is indeed quite strange..."

Staring at the old beggar, the golden-haired monkey scratched its cheek and spoke.

Shen Chongxu, however, noticed his mentor twice referring to the figure as "thing" instead of "this person."

"Master, are you saying he's not human?"

The golden-haired monkey blinked, looking puzzled: "I don't know if he counts as human, he's just very strange."

"Seems like he shouldn't exist in this world..."

"Strange..."

Hearing this, Shen Chongming regained his composure and quickly bowed: "Senior, is there a way to rid me of him?"

He was completely terrified of the old beggar now, unable to lose him, unable to drive him away, and he didn't speak.

Being entangled by such a bizarre entity was enough to cause sleepless nights.

"Trouble! Trouble!"

The golden-haired monkey shook its head like a rattle, speaking irritably: "His flesh contains a very peculiar power that can counteract most law attacks."

"You could understand him as having an immortal body."

"Unable to be killed by this world's powers."

After a pause, the golden-haired monkey continued: "He's in this crazy state now, otherwise, he would have stirred up a bloody storm in this world."

Everyone fell silent at this.

After glancing at the old beggar, the golden-haired monkey turned to Shen Chongming: "Young one, he must be following you because you have something that attracts him."

"I think you could try to awaken some of his memories."

"If you could bring him under your control, you could rule the entire Cangmin Sea Region."

Bring under control?

Shen Chongming chuckled bitterly upon hearing this.

Whenever he saw the old beggar, he felt a chill in his heart, let alone the thought of communicating with him?

But now, even the Nascent Soul True Monarch couldn't do anything to him, and he constantly followed him, leaving Shen Chongming with no choice but to try his luck.

"Forget it, let him lie here for now, and deal with the demonic Qi in me later."

Shen Chongming spoke, then left the pit with Shen Chongxu.

In the quiet wooden house, Shen Chongming sat cross-legged.

Opposite him, Shen Chongxu spoke softly: "He Yi, come out to help."

As soon as his words fell, a ghostly purple smoke flew out from the sea of consciousness, transforming into a woman dressed in a luxurious purple gown, regal and slightly alluring.

Celestial Demon He Yi noticed Shen Chongming seated across from her as soon as she appeared.

The demonic Qi inside Shen Chongming also woke up upon her appearance, becoming instantly agitated.

"A rare delicacy..."

He Yi chuckled, her beautiful eyes flashing with excitement.

Licking her crimson lips, her slender, ivory fingers lightly pointed, and a ghostly purple spirit light instantly entered Shen Chongming's body.

In the next moment, the ghostly purple spirit light, like a thread, forcibly pulled out a large mass of black mist from Shen Chongming's body!

The mist was tightly trapped by the purple spirit light thread net, unable to break free despite its struggles.

Originally, Celestial Demon He Yi intended to directly swallow this entire mass of demonic Qi, but after glancing at Shen Chongxu, she whispered regretfully: "Always accused of eating alone, this time I'll divide it with you."

Her fingers formed formulas, and a flash of cold light passed, accurately splitting the mass of demonic Qi in two.

One part she swallowed herself, the other she sent to Shen Chongxu.

Shen Chongxu glanced at her, didn't refuse, and opened his mouth to inhale, absorbing the demonic Qi into his abdomen.

Shen Chongming opened his eyes slowly, briefly amazed by Celestial Demon He Yi's appearance, then quickly immersed his heart spirit within.

After careful examination, he found the demonic Qi haunting him for years had truly been easily eliminated, making him very happy.

"Thank you, Brother Xu, thank you... Fellow Daoist."

Shen Chongxu quietly circulated the "Primordial Golden Seal" to introduce the pure demonic Qi into his meridians, conducting the Circulation and slowly absorbing it, explaining: "This is He Yi, her true form is Celestial Demon."

Shen Chongming listened, somewhat surprised.

Upon hearing Shen Chongxu's explanation that He Yi was summoned from the Outer Realm using the "Demon's Arrival" Secret Skill, Shen Chongming came to a realization.

After swallowing the pure demonic Qi, He Yi seemed to benefit greatly, her enchanting figure emitting a faint glow.

"Regarding that old man you saw earlier, I have some theories."

Feeling great, He Yi did not rush back to Shen Chongxu's sea of consciousness, instead, she swayed her hips, sat beside Shen Chongxu, and spoke.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongxu was somewhat surprised: "Tell me."

Shen Chongming also looked over with hope.

He was truly afraid of the old beggar, wanting nothing more than to avoid interacting with him.

"In the grand cosmos, there's a special kind of creature known as 'Dao Slave.'

"As the name suggests, these creatures are slaves to Great Dao Laws."

"As for how 'Dao Slaves' are formed, I don't know very well, just remember reading in ancient texts that creatures become 'Dao Slaves' due to insufficient realm, fortune, accidentally witnessing Dao evolution, or encountering something related to Great Dao Laws, thus punished."

At this point, He Yi further explained: "The Great Dao Laws I refer to are not the Power of Laws you Immortal Dao Cultivators practice now."

"These are the true Immortal Dao Laws, the fundamental order maintaining the operation of countless worlds, beyond the reach of Immortal Gods."

"Now you understand?"

Shen Chongming and Shen Chongxu listened, quite shocked.

If this is correct, then the old beggar must have witnessed supreme power with a mere ant-like body and suffered punishment by such an exalted being?

He Yi stood up slowly, sighing softly: "Dao Slaves are quite pathetic, witnessing things many cultivators can't see in their lifetime while enduring harsh punishment."

Her gaze fell on Shen Chongming, her expression complex.

"Such an extraordinary existence following you... I don't know if it's fortune or disaster for you..."

Shen Chongming paused upon hearing this, then could only shake his head helplessly.

Well then.

With the "Golden Core Conspiracy" secret in his bloodline, a Thunder Pool and Thunder Pool Spirit capable of invoking heavenly might within his dantian, now accompanied by an old beggar transformed into a Dao Slave for prying into Immortal Dao Laws.

Since the Dao collapse in Yangnao Land, he didn't want to be entangled in the schemes of those in power, yet now he's fallen into a larger vortex of conspiracy.

After some internal reflection, he suddenly let go.

Any of these secrets could easily obliterate him with a breath; worrying was useless, so he chose to go with the flow and live well in the present.
