Chapter: 6201
Lin Wanyi anxiously asked: 'Young master, do you think this world has such a wicked art of stealing someone else's physical body?'
Leaf Qi fell silent for a moment, then spoke seriously: 'Although I haven't touched any related techniques, I feel that the possibility of such a technique existing is very high. After careful consideration, one can find that humans are no different from smartphones or computers; the body is the hardware, while the mind or consciousness is the software. To replace someone's consciousness into another person's body is like buying a used smartphone - as long as you transfer all the data and replace the original data of that smartphone with the new one, it can be achieved.'
Lin Wanyi said: 'If the hardware of a smartphone is about to completely break down before its data is preserved, then find a suitable new smartphone, and the old one can theoretically come back to life. At Master's age of 1,000 years when his time limit is approaching, he may not be able to find a way for himself to continue living, but he has his own method - preserving his consciousness and waiting for an appropriate physical body to appear.'"
As she was speaking, Lin Wanyi said: "Stealing a body should be a very harsh thing, otherwise he wouldn't let his own consciousness rest for so many years. Before he dies, he could completely take over my father's body. For someone who is obsessed with seeking immortality like him, stealing a body should not be about extending his life, but rather about finding a new starting point to start again. If we find an ordinary physical body without much quality, it might not even allow us to catch up with our previous heights. So, he not only needs a physical body reborn, but also one that is strong enough to give him the opportunity to challenge the heavenly way."
Leaf Qi took a deep breath and said: "So... he needs an ascended dragon-grade physical body?"
Lin Wanyi nodded hastily: "That's right! I think this logic is reasonable and consistent with what the fake master said. She said that only the prince can't go to the Ten Thousand Mountains, and that person is far more terrifying than Wu Feiyin. Now it seems that she was talking about Master, and he has been waiting for you in the Ten Thousand Mountains all along."
Leaf Qi also accepted this speculation and gritted his teeth: "What a Longevity cultivator! I've seen people who raise snakes, but someone who raises their own consciousness to cultivate immortality is something new to me!"
As they finished speaking, Leaf Qi said again: "Since we have already figured out his plan, doesn't that mean he will be waiting forever for you in the Ten Thousand Mountains if we never go there?"
Lin Wanyi agreed and said: "I think so too!"
Leaf Qi relaxed and said: "Well, from now on, I won't take a step near the Ten Thousand Mountains. Unless it wasn't for the fake master's warning before, and our joint investigation today, I'm afraid I would have had to do something after getting the Nine Heavens Scroll..."
Lin Wanyi curiously asked: "What is the prince going to do first?"
Leaf Qi replied sincerely: "Of course, he will take some time to organize his own Nine Heavens Mind Decisions. This should be the true and meaningful cultivation method for him, and I think this might be the only thing that can help us at present."
Lin Wanyi nodded and picked up the first section of the Nine Heavens Scroll, carefully reading it for a moment before saying: "Father once wanted me to understand the way, but I'm indeed not suitable for understanding. After repeated failures, father gave up this idea. At that time, father entrusted me with a heart-felt method, which I studied deeply over 300 years ago. Although so many years have passed, I can confidently say that its content is almost identical to what's written here."
As she said that, Lin Wanyi added: "However, Father said that Master Qi told him and Wu Feiyan that this method has no name, but it's just a summary of his cultivation experiences over many years. And Father thought that Master Qi had spent his entire life studying, so he shouldn't have left this without a name. So, he called it 'Longevity Decree' in honor of Master Qi."
Leaf Qi sighed: "It seems that Meng Changsheng kept some secrets from your father and Wu Feiyan. He might not even have told them the names of the 'Nine Heavens Mind Decisions', let alone the 'Nine Heavens Scroll' or the 'Nine Heavens Heavenly Canon'."
As Leaf Qi went on, he became increasingly anxious: "Initially, I was deeply grateful for the changes brought about by the 'Nine Heavens Heavenly Canon', and I renamed Wei's pharmaceutical company to Nine Heavens Pharmaceuticals. At that time, my heart was full of sincerity, but now it seems that I've created a never-ending problem...... But if Wu Feiyan knows the 'Nine Heavens Mind Decisions', there will always be a risk that she'll discover our secrets."
Lin Wanyi nodded in agreement and then asked Leaf Qi with some trepidation: "Is the prince going to cultivate the 'Nine Heavens Mind Decisions'?"
Leaf Qi replied sincerely: "For me, it's an excellent opportunity to improve myself. Wu Feiyan was able to open the Numinous Mound Palace over 100 years ago, which proves that this cultivation method has reached a certain level. For me, this is a chance I can't miss......"
As Leaf Qi finished speaking, his expression turned serious: "However, my rational thinking tells me that the 'Nine Heavens Scroll' is actually an enticement, while the 'Nine Heavens Heavenly Canon' is just a comprehensive encyclopedia without any core content. I must be cautious and not believe anything in the 'Nine Heavens Scroll'."
Lin Wanyi nodded solemnly: "I agree with you. Nothing in the 'Nine Heavens Scroll' can be trusted!"
Leaf Qi nodded in agreement: "I think that person must be under someone else's command. The one who truly helped the young master must be the one behind them."
Lin Wanyi smiled: "Maybe each has their own secrets to keep, just like me. If I weren't rescued by the young master and received this family heirloom from my father, I would never reveal my true identity and experiences."
As she spoke, Lin Wanyi added: "But I can be certain that this person is definitely observing the young master from behind the scenes. Perhaps when the time is ripe, they will take the initiative to meet with the young master."
Leaf Qi nodded: "I have no idea what Tang Guan has been doing all these years, serving whom or for what purpose. Since he left Yanjing without a word, I've always felt that he and the fake teacher we met in the 10,000 Mountains are connected somehow. It's unsettling to think that they might have been paying attention to me for many years, yet I had no idea."
As Leaf Qi spoke, he unconsciously pulled out from his pocket the agarwood pendant he obtained at the temple that day, with 28 precious and fragrant beads, giving off a soothing aroma. JrNovels.com
