"I am the legitimate one?" Lu Chen was extremely surprised. Ye Nanzhai was actually the legitimate one?
Lu Chen was decisive in his actions, understood how to weigh pros and cons, had a good heart, only killing those who deserved it, and had little ambition. These statements were all true. It was also true that he had saved Ye Nanzhai twice. The first time was when Lu Chen released the Ten-Thousand Poisons Golden Toad to kill the Flying Centipede and drew away Zhao Centipede, the leader of the Three Poisons Wanderer, relieving some pressure from Ye Nanzhai so he could fully confront Rosen and Yellow Brow Ancestor, who were clad in Nether War Armor.
The second time was just now when Lu Chen helped Ye Nanzhai transfer Yin Yuan, assisting him in restoring his Yin Spirit. For this, Lu Chen even lost a Yin Yuan Pearl.
These were all facts, but Ye Nanzhai declaring Lu Chen as the legitimate one left Lu Chen somewhat confused.
If Ye Nanzhai was going to pass on his position to Lu Chen, that meant Lu Chen would become the Supreme Leader of the Red Robe Sect, directly commanding the entire Red Robe Sect worldwide. Anyone from the Red Robe Sect would have to follow him.
"This is too sudden; my mind is still trying to process this," Lu Chen stood there in a daze, feeling a bit empty inside. He had suddenly become the Red Robe Sect Leader, second only to one and above ten thousand.
Just a moment ago, Lu Chen was merely a disciple of the Five Element Sect, unknown and of humble origins, easily dismissed by anyone. Although he had been secretly appointed as an Incense Ambassador by Sun Zizhao, it was just a title with no real power or salary.
Now it was different. Due to his injuries from Corpse Transformation, Ye Nanzhai had directly passed on the position of Supreme Leader to him. Now, Lu Chen had transformed from a mere chick into a phoenix, soaring high.
"Wait a minute; I'm still having trouble processing this!" Lu Chen waved his hand, feeling a bit of a headache. Could the position of Red Robe Sect Leader be taken so lightly?
Ye Nanzhai was close to Void Immortal in Yin True Cultivation and was also a direct descendant of the Ye clan. Even he could not suppress those high-ranking members of the Red Robe Sect. And Lu Chen was an outsider with low cultivation; what right did he have to manage the entire Red Robe Sect?
Ye Nanzhai waved his large sleeve, and a gleaming sword shot out, embedding itself deeply into the Throne with a loud thud, even piercing through the noble beast skin.
"The Demon-Slaying Sword?" Lu Chen's eyes lit up as he immediately recognized it; he had been familiar with this sword for quite some time.
However, it had later been taken by Zhao Centipede and used to threaten Lu Chen. Fortunately, Ye Nanzhai happened to pass by and forcibly reclaimed it.
Ye Nanzhai suddenly threw out the sword and said, "This sword is a tribute from our Ye Family to the Han Dynasty Court. At that time, the Han Wei Emperor was so pleased that he designated this sword as the Imperial Sword, capable of slaying tyrants and treacherous ministers. Later, when the Han Dynasty Court fell, this sword became a token for the royal descendants to communicate with the Red Robe Sect, holding great significance. The Sun Emperor gifting you this sword is clear; it shows he has high hopes for you and values your character."
After a pause, Ye Nanzhai's tone weakened further as he continued, "The original intention of establishing the Red Robe Sect was to restore the Han Dynasty and protect the royal descendants. The Fall of Zhou and Rise of Han means that anyone with ambition can become the leader, and since you uphold the will of the Han Dynasty and possess the Demon-Slaying Sword, you are the rightful heir. Instead, it is our Ye Family that has occupied the position of Red Robe Leader for nearly a hundred years; this is our fault."
It turned out that the Demon-Slaying Sword was a tribute given by the Ye Family to the Han Dynasty Court and was designated as an Imperial Sword by the last emperor of the Han Dynasty, Han Wei Emperor, capable of slaying tyrants and treacherous ministers. This sword had such a rich history.
"Brother Zi Zhao truly thinks highly of me. He is destined to be an emperor, and I now have a chance to call him brother; I must change how I address him in the future," Lu Chen thought to himself.
The Fall of Zhou and Rise of Han was the ultimate goal in every anti-Zhou righteous person's heart, including Lu Chen's and Li Shian's. Lu Chen felt a surge of excitement; if Li Shian could see that the flames of rebellion against Zhou were burning brightly, he would surely be very pleased.
"Supreme Leader, how should I govern the Red Robe Sect?" Lu Chen asked anxiously. If Ye Nanzhai couldn't manage it well, he certainly didn't feel capable.
"Everything depends on Intentions!" Ye Nanzhai replied succinctly.
"Intentions?" Lu Chen understood only partially; it sounded easy, but things rarely went smoothly. He thought about how his ideas were completely disconnected from reality; he feared he might be well-intentioned but lacking in ability.
"There is no time left. I must immediately undergo Corpse Transformation. Some things can only be realized through your own practice and understanding. You don't need to take me as your master; the position of Supreme Leader is passed down through generations, and the only proof is the Three Aspects Return to One Scripture. To cultivate this scripture, you must open up your upper, middle, and lower dantians; both spirit and flesh must correspond—none can be missing."
"The Three Aspects Return to One Scripture is proof for the Red Robe Sect Leader! Above human flesh, there are actually three dantians corresponding with Yin Spirit?" Lu Chen licked his lips and murmured.
This technique seemed to originate from Daoism; it certainly wasn't from the Five Element Sect, as its disciples did not focus on Yin Zhen cultivation. Among the three major Taoist sects—Star, Five Elements, and Taiji—Taiji represents Yin and Yang. The method involving three dantians in flesh comes from Taiji Gate, also known as Yin Yang Gate.
Before Lu Chen could react, Ye Nanzhai raised his hand and pulled him over with a swift motion, lifting him up in his grasp. In Lu Chen's dazed state, Ye Nanzhai repeatedly poked three points on Lu Chen's forehead, chest, and lower abdomen.
Lu Chen felt a spinning sensation as sharp pain surged through those three areas—his forehead, chest, and lower abdomen—more painful than being pricked by needles. He immediately reacted by screaming in agony.
Finally, Ye Nanzhai gathered strength in his right palm, condensing a mass of white True Qi, and struck Lu Chen's head fiercely before throwing him to the ground.
Lu Chen was thrown to the ground, stumbling back three steps and nearly falling over. He then raised his hands to check on his Flesh, only to find that his previously unremarkable body now had three areas that felt as if they had been cut open with a knife, leaving large hollow wounds.
After a while, Lu Chen noticed that the pain in his body had diminished and transformed into a cool sensation, as if a breeze had passed through him. Could this be the feeling of having the three Dan Tian opened?
"Alright, your upper, middle, and lower Dan Tian have all been opened. I have also imparted the practice of the Three Aspects Return to One Scripture to you," Ye Nanzhai said slowly while sitting on the Throne.
"You've taught me the Three Aspects Return to One Scripture?" Lu Chen recalled that Ye Nanzhai had tapped his head at the end, but he was so disoriented at the time that he hadn't paid much attention.
Now that the Eternal Life Palace had returned to calmness, he searched carefully in his mind and indeed discovered a mysterious piece of information, including complicated mental formulas and a method for practicing a martial art. It seemed this was the Three Aspects Return to One Scripture.
However, at this moment, Lu Chen's thoughts were not on the Three Aspects Return to One Scripture because Ye Nanzhai began his Corpse Transformation.
Lu Chen stood anxiously to the side as he watched Ye Nanzhai embrace the Demon-Slaying Sword in his arms while his Flesh slowly collapsed onto the Throne, curling up gradually.
"This technique is called Sword Dissolution, which is the lowest grade解法 within Corpse Transformation. The Flesh will transform into an Essence Sphere. After you consume it and refine it with your strength, it can enhance your spiritual and physical cultivation and solidify your life force. My Yin Spirit will reincarnate and forget everything; I will leave a trace of my ghost attached to the Demon-Slaying Sword. When that time comes, take this treasured sword and find Ye Dajin, the richest merchant in the Southern Seven States. His mentally challenged son is me; I am Ye Yunding."
Ye Nanzhai's tone was somewhat strange as he repeated the name of the Demon-Slaying Sword.
Ye Nanzhai's Corpse Transformation called Sword Dissolution is considered the lowest grade technique? It can also reincarnate and become human again; why is it regarded as the lowest grade among Corpse Transformation methods?
Ye Nanzhai's voice grew fainter; his arms suddenly shrank inward, followed by his hands and feet, then his head disappeared as well. Soon after, even his Flesh began to wither away until it became flat and ultimately vanished completely, leaving only a large Purple Gold Robe lying on the Throne.
In that instant, Lu Chen saw a beam of golden light shoot into the Demon-Slaying Sword. The sword glimmered coldly for a moment before returning to calmness, as if a trace of Ye Nanzhai's ghost had been consumed by the Demon-Slaying Sword.
Lu Chen hurried over to grab the Demon-Slaying Sword and opened the Purple Gold Robe. Inside, there was indeed a thumb-sized bead.
The bead was very round, shining with a bright luster, and it seemed this was the Essence Sphere formed from Ye Nanzhai's Flesh.
Without hesitation, Lu Chen threw the Essence Sphere into his mouth and swallowed it whole.
Then, holding the Demon-Slaying Sword, he gently stroked the blade. From now on, a trace of Ye Nanzhai's ghost would be attached to this Demon-Slaying Sword.
Lu Chen murmured, "Sword Dissolution? Flesh transformed into Essence Sphere, given to the host, Yin Spirit reincarnated—what a proper process. How did it turn into the lowest-grade solution?"
Corpse Dissolution Reincarnation—no one could escape Fetal Mystery. If one could not escape Fetal Mystery, they would forget their past life, effectively severing all ties of grievances and debts from their previous existence. Only the Su Family of the Demon King Dynasty had a special method of Corpse Transformation that could retain one's memories.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen suddenly realized that Ye Nanzhai's Sword Dissolution corpse would attach a trace of ghost to the Demon-Slaying Sword. The biggest difference from other methods like weapon dissolution, water dissolution, or fire dissolution was that this method could preserve memories from a past life. This was Ye Nanzhai's goal.
It seemed perfect, but the reason Sword Dissolution was called the lowest-grade Corpse Transformation method lay in its reliance on the host. For instance, Lu Chen was currently Ye Nanzhai's host; he accepted Ye Nanzhai's Flesh transformed into Essence Sphere and thus had to help him recover his memories after reincarnation.
The real weakness was that if the host developed ulterior motives and did not fulfill their promise after accepting the Essence Sphere, then everything would be in vain.
