The Clan Master Can’t possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Three Souls in One Body, Gong Qingqiu’s Visit
Huyuan’s words successfully amused Dong Dongqiang.

“A mere little demon dares to call itself king in front of me? When I became a Great Power of the Divine Origin Realm, your ancestors were still playing with mud!”, Dong Dongqiang mocked.

Having said that, he suddenly increased his strength, causing Huyuan’s soul to suffer from the crushing force of an intangible power, disintegrating bit by bit on the surface.

“Divine… Divine Origin Realm Great Power?” Huyuan was horrified.

He realized, the young man with the small eyes devouring his own soul was not in the first layer of the Element Gathering Realm, but rather a Great Power of the Divine Origin Realm who had been reborn or body snatched!

How could he possibly fight against such a strong opponent?

Could it be that heaven truly wanted to destroy him?

Huyuan was very reluctant to accept this.

“Hee hee hee, obediently be devoured by this old ancestor, once I’ve regained some of my strength, I’ll be able to use many secret techniques,” Dong Dongqiang cackled strangely.

Using Spiritual Sense Introspection on Huyuan’s soul, Dong Dongqiang discovered that his opponent’s soul was disintegrating little by little, soon able to be fully refined.

“No!”

Huyuan roared, pushing the power of his soul to the limit, constantly striking against the Seven Star Seal, trying to escape to the heavens.

But he found that it was all in vain!

The restraint formed by the Seven Star Seal was too strong; no matter how he impacted it, he could not shake it, plunging Huyuan into despair.

“It’s no use, this old ancestor’s actions are always meticulous, having calculated the limit of your younger generation’s power in my mind, you’re utterly incapable of breaking through the defense”, Dong Dongqiang was very proud.

Huyuan fell silent.

Feeling his soul crumble bit by bit, his heart bled.

This was the foundation he had cultivated with great difficulty over many years, yet today it was going to become someone else’s stepping stone.

Especially since his opponent was once a Divine Origin Realm Great Power!

Such beings were intelligent and crafty, seasoned with age; although he was also a strong contender, how could he be a match?

Thinking of this, Huyuan sighed.

Suddenly, he thought of something, his soul cracked open, and from within emerged an immense surge of blood essence and vital energy that hadn’t been refined yet.

This was brought from the blood pool at the ancestral land of the Three-tailed Fox Clan, the final Bloodline Crystal, which he used for the body snatching.

“Damn you! Dare to devour this king’s soul, even if I die, I’ll put up a fight with you!”

Huyuan had a fiery spirit.

Especially when he thought about being humiliated by the Fox Clan Queen and becoming a laughable son-in-law, coupled with today’s crushing defeat, all of those negative emotions erupted instantly, turning into limitless motivation.

The remaining Bloodline Crystal also began to collapse.

Splash!

Harnessing this power, Huyuan enacted the body snatching technique.

“Eh, you dare to compete with me for this body, seeking death?”, Dong Dongqiang’s eyes widened, surprised by the unanticipated Bloodline Crystal, feeling greatly alarmed.

Previously, to be on the safe side, he hadn’t followed that closely.

Therefore, Dong Dongqiang did not know what Huyuan had taken from the ancestral land until now, when he realized that he had made a mistake by being overly cautious.

“Hehe, this body was never yours to begin with, it looks like I might have a chance to win now!”, Huyuan found that his reversal finally had an effect.

His strand of consciousness passed the Seven Star Seal’s confinement, infiltrating the Sea of Consciousness at Dong Dongqiang’s forehead, where he found Dong Dongqiang’s soul sitting cross-legged.

At this moment, Dong Dongqiang’s soul appeared semi-transparent, far from recovering to its peak, but it was radiating a divine light, as if it were a divine residence.

“Even if you’re of the Divine Origin Realm, this king will fight against a god today!”, Huyuan gathered more and more consciousness, covering Dong Dongqiang’s soul, beginning the body snatch.

The Seven Star Seal could bind Huyuan’s soul, but it couldn’t limit the spread of his consciousness, and not even Dong Dongqiang expected Huyuan to dare to counter-snatch his own body!

Within Dong Qiang’s Sea of Consciousness.

Two strands of consciousness met in mid-air, clashing against each other, like countless soldiers on a battlefield, mediating an unyielding fight.

After a prolonged struggle, a third strand of consciousness suddenly appeared inside the Sea of Consciousness, and, while Dong Dongqiang was fully engaged in suppressing Huyuan, it fiercely crashed into Dong Dongqiang’s soul, causing him to jolt violently.

“Damn it!”

Dong Dongqiang was furious, turning to look, only to find it was the lingering consciousness of Dong Qiang, feeling extremely surprised.

“Young one, aren’t you dead?”, Dong Dongqiang could hardly believe.

“Ancestor, I am your descendant, yet you ruthlessly snatch my body; can you justify this to those countless ancestors of mine who aspired to restore the Dong family’s glory?”, Dong Qiang gritted his teeth and said.

This was his body.

Several days before Dong Dongqiang body-snatched him, Dong Qiang had already spread part of his consciousness into his blood, preparing to use it to elevate his bloodline.

Because of this move, his main soul had been snatched by Dong Dongqiang, but the Soul Fragment lived on, and because Dong Dongqiang had elevated the bloodline to the Demon General level, the Soul Fragment contained within the bloodline grew stronger as well.

“Hahaha… So you old monster body-snatched your own blood descendant, now getting backstabbed by your offspring, serves you right!”, Huyuan laughed loudly, continuing to struggle fiercely.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Dong Qiang’s Soul Fragment’s consciousness was also on the offensive.

Under the pincer attack of the two, Dong Dongqiang, in his mere remnant soul state, could not resist at all and was steadily driven back.

“Since you two are intent on seeking death, then don’t blame me for resorting to desperate measures… Secret Technique, Soul Fusion!”

Cornered, Dong Dongqiang had no choice but to use this eerie secret technique, sacrificing his own soul power to fuse the souls of Huyuan and Dong Qiang.

The icy soulfire swept through the entire Sea of Consciousness in an instant.

…

After an unknown amount of time, Dong Qiang opened his eyes.

He looked at his own hands, noticing that the body’s strength hadn’t decreased but had grown stronger than before, which meant that after regaining control of his body, the cultivation level had not dropped.

“I’m still in the Element Gathering Realm, that’s fantastic!”

Dong Qiang exclaimed excitedly.

He hopped and jumped on the spot, overwhelmed with excitement, and said, “It seems that the old ancestor and that mysterious Demon King have already perished. Once I properly digest their remaining memories, I will surely reach the peak of my life!”

Dong Qiang had already begun to look forward to the future.

“Idiot, use your consciousness to enter the sea of knowledge and take a good look, your old ancestor and this little demon have not perished yet!”

The angry voice of Dong Dongqiang echoed in his mind.

Dong Qiang’s eyelids twitched.

He hastily probed the sea of knowledge with his consciousness and saw a chilling scene there.

He saw the soul bodies of Huyuan and Dong Dongqiang entwined by countless black silken threads. Their powers merged, and then, more black silken threads emerged to envelop Dong Qiang’s own soul body as well.

“How could this be?” Dong Qiang’s legs went weak.

Huyuan said in a deep voice, “It’s all because of this old monster’s use of an ancient secret technique that failed, leading to the fusion of our three soul bodies, I’m afraid we can’t separate them ever again. And now, each of us has a chance to control this body.”

His voice paused, growing gradually resigned, “And this is the legendary ‘Three Souls in One Body’ that happens once in a billion!”

Dong Dongqiang snorted coldly and didn’t speak.

Dong Qiang’s eyes widened, “Three Souls in One Body? What am I supposed to do in the future? What if I find a dual cultivation companion, whose child would it be?”

Hearing this, both Dong Dongqiang and Huyuan rolled their eyes simultaneously.

“This body belongs to you, the younger one, so the child born will naturally be yours as well. Usually, it’s your consciousness that controls this body, but at crucial times, it could also be one of us,” Huyuan explained.

Although he didn’t like the Human Race, if Dong Qiang hadn’t appeared at the critical moment and diverted part of Dong Dongqiang’s power, he would have been devoured for sure.

Huyuan, who was clear about whom he loved and hated, subconsciously saw Dong Qiang as his benefactor.

“Alas!” At this moment, Dong Dongqiang sighed.

Looking at the outside world through Dong Qiang’s eyes, his own were filled with desolation, “To think that I, Dong Dongqiang, had been wise and invincible all my life, one of the few great powers in the Mystique Kingdom, have now come to such an end.”

“Dong… Dong Dongqiang?” Huyuan was suddenly shocked, “Could it be that you are the Divine Origin Realm great power who was famously known as the ‘Heavenly Blood Fiend’ back in the day?”

“Indeed, it is I!”

Dong Dongqiang suddenly felt a bit proud, “I didn’t expect that countless years later, there would still be people who remember my name.”

Dong Qiang was immediately astonished, “My ancestor was so famous back then?”

Huyuan mocked, “Ha! Back then, that stinky old man, the Heavenly Blood Fiend, was notorious, a standard villain, much crazier than I was by who knows how many times, and had a terrible reputation!”

Upon hearing this, Dong Dongqiang became angry.

But now that their three souls were fused into one, the fall of any one of them would cause the others to collapse as well. Even in anger, they could only glare helplessly, unable to act.

Dong Qiang also realized the current situation and quickly intervened, “Both seniors, please don’t argue. Now we share both honor and disaster. It’s better to be peaceful and seek wealth together.”

“Hmph!”

Huyuan and Dong Dongqiang glared at each other.

Dong Qiang was caught in the middle, feeling helpless.

…

Misty Peak.

Ye Feng sat in a lounge chair, watering the flowers with the Spirit Spring Water.

Dong…

The melodious sound of bells came from midway up the mountain.

Ye Feng parted the mist and saw a graceful and dignified middle-aged beautiful woman standing quietly under the pavilion on the mountainside, facing him across the distance, giving a courteous bow as the mist dispersed.

“I, Gong Qingqiu, have come to pay my respects!”

Her voice was gentle, like a light rain falling on leaves.

Ye Feng looked surprised.

What was Gong Qingqiu doing here?

Was it to express gratitude?

Although puzzled, Ye Feng still nodded and said, “Daoist Gong, please come up the mountain to talk.”

“Thank you, Sect Master Ye,” Gong Qingqiu ascended the mountain and exchanged pleasantries with Ye Feng. They then sat together in the Sect Leader’s Great Hall.

Xia He and Qiu Ju attended to them attentively, and soon brewed some Spiritual Tea.

“This sudden visit is quite presumptuous,” Gong Qingqiu appeared slightly apologetic.

“Not at all,” Ye Feng waved his hands continually, “May I ask why Daoist Gong has come today?”

Gong Qingqiu smiled and said, “Naturally, I have come to express my thanks. If Sect Master Ye had not lent a hand, we could not have subdued Demon City and avenged the fallen elders, my brothers, and the innocent people.”

“That was my duty,” Ye Feng waved his hand.

If he hadn’t taken action, perhaps Whitefloat City and Misty Sect would have been the next targets. Preemptively dealing with Demon King Huyuan was the right and necessary thing to do.

“Sect Master Ye really is modest, which I find very endearing,” Gong Qingqiu said with a smile, blooming like a peony garden in full blossom, refreshing Ye Feng’s spirit.

Before his astonished gaze, Gong Qingqiu placed a treasure box on the table.

“What is this?” Ye Feng asked curiously.

“There are two ancient books inside the treasure box, both are closely-guarded secrets of Shuiyang City’s Lord’s Mansion. One is an Auxiliary Cultivation Method, and the other is a damaged Fourth Grade Spell. After much deliberation, I feel that if Sect Master Ye does not disdain them, I am willing to bring these two ancient books and join your sect,” Gong Qingqiu revealed her reason.

Then she opened the treasure box, showing two radiant books sealed with special Talismans that ordinary cultivators could not open.

“What… join our Misty Sect?”

Ye Feng was shocked and stood up from his seat.
