Chapter 1637: Profit Sharing Among Laborers (Second Update)

Looking at the scene, Zhou Qing’s lips curled into a barely perceptible smile, and he no longer pretended.

He swiftly took out the Array Disc of the Four-Color Spirit Gathering Array and casually inserted a large quantity of top-grade Spirit Stones into it, instantly activating the Array Disc.

Subsequently, four streams of Spiritual Light shot skyward, forming a gigantic Spirit Gathering Barrier, continuously gathering Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Zhou Qing sat cross-legged in the center of the Spirit Gathering Array and began to restore the expended Spiritual Power.

After all, casting Inscription-level Divine Techniques was highly exhaustive, and he had to quickly replenish his Spiritual Power to prevent Ku E from breaking free.

Moreover, Ku E, being a Supreme Realm cultivator, would not die so easily; this confrontation had just begun.

As for Gui Cang, Zhou Qing was not worried.

Now that Ku E was trapped in the Obsession Tower, his consciousness was constrained, drastically weakening his control over Gui Cang’s body.

Gui Cang himself was already late-stage Spirit Severing Realm; as long as he seized the opportunity, he would undoubtedly regain control of his body.

Even if his Primordial Spirit and physical body suffered some damage, as long as a trace of his residual soul remained, he could slowly recover over time.

Now, he only needed to wait quietly for Gui Cang to awaken, and simultaneously await the changes within the Obsession Tower.

The struggle between Ku E and the Resentful Spirit Body might even bring him unexpected happiness.

“Are you alright?” At this moment, Second Uncle’s voice came from outside the array, tinged with some concern and probing.

Zhou Qing echoed back outside the array: “Don’t worry, Second Uncle, everything is currently under control, Ku E has already been trapped in the Obsession Tower.”

After speaking, Zhou Qing sent out a thin wisp of Divine Sense, cautiously exploring toward the Obsession Tower.

But the tower was currently in chaos, the black Resentful Evil Qi roiling like angry waves.

The Divine Sense was immediately broken apart by a violent force, unable to return even a thread of information.

Zhou Qing involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

It seems that the statement in the Daily Reflection wasn’t false; indeed, over the years, an extremely terrifying Resentful Spirit Body has been born within the Obsession Tower.

After all, even the Old Peng King’s corpse had turned into a spirit after so many years, not to mention here, where countless negative emotions, hostility, and residual souls of cultivators and mortals were sealed, making the formation of a Spirit Body unsurprising.

“Hmm?” Just then, Zhou Qing suddenly felt the Spiritual Power within his body surging inexplicably.

A flow of pure energy appeared out of nowhere, quickly circulating through his meridians.

Constantly enhancing his cultivation, as if it was the result of his many years of hard cultivation, completely smooth and natural.

After a moment of daze, Zhou Qing’s face instantly lit up with joy – this was clearly the effect of the You Can Do It Sticker!

The sticker not only urged Ku E to take risks but also allowed him to obtain half of the benefits Ku E gained.

The surging Spiritual Power within his body at this moment must be a part of the benefit Ku E gained from absorbing the Resentful Spirit’s essence within the tower.

But this also indicated that although Ku E was currently trapped, he was still forcefully absorbing the Resentful Spirit’s essence, gaining immense benefits.

Just that, unlike Ku E, Zhou Qing could simply enjoy the refined pure energy without any side effects.

Thinking up to this point, Zhou Qing dared not be careless.

If Ku E truly stabilizes inside the tower, absorbs all the Resentful Spirit’s essence, and restores his realm, he might easily break free by then.

“If that’s the case, I’ll just give you a good push; after all, the more benefits you earn, the more I can profit along with you.”

A gleam flashed in Zhou Qing’s eyes as he formulated a plan in his mind.

He no longer held back, channeling all the gathered Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Gathering Array into his body, further increasing the input of Spiritual Power.

The Golden Seal of the Demon Suppression Seal on his head shone brighter, the Inscription flowing faster.

Releasing stronger suppressing force, like an invisible giant net tightly covering the Obsession Tower.

The black Resentful Evil Qi seeping from the tower’s surface sizzled under the Buddha Light of the Golden Seal, slowly being dissolved and purified, unable to propagate outward, and forced to return inside the tower.

This undoubtedly exacerbated the energy conflict within the tower, making the already chaotic situation even more violent.

Zhou Qing continued to shout towards the tower body, his voice intentionally anxious: “Senior! You better come out quickly!”

“I am already exerting the Daluo Demon Sealing Seal with all my might to suppress the hostility as per your instructions, just hold on a bit longer!”

But all that responded to him was the increasingly violent shaking of the Obsession Tower.

The tower body expanded and contracted continuously, black patterns clashing fiercely with the golden inscriptions, bursting into countless sparks.

Inside the tower came intermittent roars and screams, and in a daze, there seemed to be Ku E’s angry howls, the Resentful Spirit Body’s mournful cries, and countless resentful spirits’ wails.

Those eerie arms that originally coiled around the tower body were now frantically slapping and clawing at the golden seal.

Yet they were scorched by the inscriptions to the point of sizzling, constantly turning into black mist and dissipating, while continually new arms stretched out from within the tower, cycling repeatedly, endlessly.

Zhou Qing sat cross-legged in the center of the Spirit Gathering Array, continuously channeling Spiritual Power to maintain the suppression, feeling the ever-growing cultivation within his body, couldn’t help but curl his lips slightly.

Ku E wanted to use him to capture the Resentful Spirit’s essence but ended up being calculated by him; now he has become his “laborer.”

Not only helping him trap the greatest threat but also continuously providing cultivation benefit for him.

And as the energy conflict inside the tower intensified, Ku E’s consciousness was completely constrained, making Gui Cang’s chance to regain body control even greater.

“Godson, whether you can seize the opportunity is up to you.” Zhou Qing watched the continuously quaking Obsession Tower, silently speaking to himself.

…

Time slowly passed amidst the tense confrontation, in the blink of an eye, a day and a night had gone by.

Sitting cross-legged in the center of the Spirit Gathering Array, Zhou Qing’s body suddenly trembled.

The pure energy brought by the You Can Do It Sticker within himself was now operating under the guidance of the Heart Method Yin Yang Skills.

Causing this originally unified energy to suddenly split into black and white, like two awakened dragons.

Surging violently in the meridians, carrying a fierce momentum, madly charging toward the bottleneck of late-stage Spirit Severing Realm.

The two streams of Spiritual Power traversed the meridians, grinding the walls to become increasingly tough.

Even weaving within him into a spinning Tai Chi-like light flow, gradually extending from the Dantian, finally permeating through the limbs and bones, with even the fingertips enveloped in a faint black and white Spiritual Light.

Soon, this black and white Spiritual Power could no longer be restrained by the body, broke through the skin through the pores, forming a semi-transparent bi-colored light cocoon around Zhou Qing.

As the light cocoon took shape, gentle four-colored light suddenly appeared above Zhou Qing’s head, a palm-sized phantom of a four-colored flower slowly emerged.

In an instant, colorful Spiritual Qi, black and white Spiritual Power, and four-colored flower light intertwined together.

The surface of the light cocoon flashed with fine purple-gold arcs, emitting a “sizzle” sound, even slightly distorting the surrounding space.
