Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

Chapter 310: I know, you are also an Ascender!

Ouyang Xinxin.

The peerless genius who ascended from the Small Thousand Worlds to the Transcendent realm in just a thousand years.

Also the first person Liu Zimo encountered after ascending to the Transcendent realm.

He never expected that they would meet again under these circumstances, a year and a half later.

Liu Zimo never expected that even after such a long time, Ouyang Xinxin could still recognize him, a nameless nobody who had only met her once.

It should be noted that when they accidentally met in the Ascension realm last time, they didn't even exchange a word, let alone get to know each other.

"Yes, I didn't expect to see you again!"

Ouyang Xinxin smiled charmingly, her lively eyes fixed on Liu Zimo, and she slowly extended her right hand.

"Let's formally introduce ourselves, Ouyang Xinxin, from the Ouyang Family in Melt City!"

Liu Zimo was taken aback. He didn't expect Ouyang Xinxin to use a handshake, which was rare.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Zimo also slowly extended his right hand and shook hands with Ouyang Xinxin.

"Liu Zimo, currently a disciple of the Qingyun Immortal Gate!"

Swish!

Liu Zimo sensed a faint fluctuation of Spirit Power flowing out of Ouyang Xinxin's palm, circulating within his body before quietly returning to Ouyang Xinxin's palm.

Knowing that Ouyang Xinxin was deliberately testing him, Liu Zimo remained calm, pretending that nothing had happened.

"A mortal with no cultivation base."

"Could this person really be a useless person without any Spiritual Roots?"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Ouyang Xinxin's eyes.

A few months ago, two peak masters from the Qingyun Immortal Gate arrived at the Ouyang Family at the same time, specifically asking her and the patriarch about Liu Zimo, whom they had encountered in the Ascension realm.

It was only then that Ouyang Xinxin realized that the seemingly ordinary young man she had met in the Ascension realm could actually be an Ascender!

Although she found it somewhat unbelievable.

A young man with a bone age of only twenty-one or twenty-two, who appeared to be an ordinary mortal.

How could he possibly be a genius who ascended from the lower realm?

But since the two Nascent Soul Powers from the Qingyun Immortal Gate felt that Liu Zimo's identity was suspicious, it couldn't be baseless.

After all, in the vast multiverse, there was nothing that couldn't happen.

Perhaps the other party awakened some incredible innate Supernatural Power during the Ascension process, which could conceal their own talent potential.

For this reason, Ouyang Xinxin kept the young man she had only met once in her heart.

Just now, when she saw Liu Zimo among the crowd, she immediately recognized his identity.

After all, in a group of cultivators, suddenly there was a useless disciple with no cultivation base, like a black crow suddenly appearing among a group of white swans, extremely conspicuous and hard to ignore.

So when she saw Liu Zimo avoiding the crowd and sneaking to the corner of the venue to eat the spiritual fruit, Ouyang Xinxin walked straight over.

But now, Ouyang Xinxin couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

She didn't know if it was because her own Cultivation Base was too low, or if it was not enough to detect the Cultivation Base aura hidden within Liu Zimo's body.

Or maybe this Liu Zimo in front of her was simply not the Ascender she had imagined, but truly just an ordinary person without any cultivation talent!

"So it's Brother Liu, may I sit next to you?" Ouyang Xinxin's expression remained unchanged. After shaking hands, she gestured to an empty chair next to her and asked Liu Zimo.

"Of course, this seat was originally prepared for esteemed guests like you!"

Liu Zimo extended his hand to invite Ouyang Xinxin to sit beside him and warmly poured her a cup of spiritual wine.

At this moment, almost everyone's attention was focused on Dai Yingyu on the high platform. No one noticed the conversation between a man and a woman in a secluded corner at the back.

"I don't have much time, so I'll get straight to the point!"

After looking around, Ouyang Xinxin suddenly lowered her voice and said to Liu Zimo, "Fellow Daoist Liu, I know that you are also an Ascender!"

"Although I don't know what method you used to conceal your Ascender's Great Dao aura, I trust my intuition!"

"I already had some suspicions when I first saw you in the Ascension Land."

"And now, seeing you again, this feeling has become even stronger!"

"You are like me, definitely an Ascender! Now, only you have the possibility of saving me!"

"Fellow Daoist Liu, as fellow Ascenders and with a common enemy, please save me!"

"I don't have much time left. In two months at most, that old man in the Ouyang family ancestral shrine will use me as a Human Cauldron and be reborn through my body!"

"I went through countless hardships in the mortal realm, finally Ascending to the Transcendent realm. It wasn't to become someone else's Human Cauldron, to extend their life!"

"This is unfair!"

Ouyang Xinxin's eyes turned red, and her voice became somewhat hysterical.

It was evident that she had been living under great pressure during this period.

And she seemed to have realized what she would face next.

Even ants struggle to survive.

No one would willingly become someone else's Human Cauldron, to be used for another person's rebirth, even if that person was their ancestor!

These Ascenders, which one of them hadn't experienced countless hardships, overcome numerous obstacles, and risked their lives to attract the Heavenly Tribulation and Ascend?

Just as Ouyang Xinxin said, they went through great difficulties to Ascend to the higher realm, not to become someone else's Human Cauldron, to extend someone else's life!

Liu Zimo shook his head slightly, pretending not to understand what Ouyang Xinxin was saying.

"Miss Ouyang seems to have misunderstood. I am just an ordinary person without any cultivation talent, not an Ascender!"

"However, what Miss Ouyang mentioned about Human Cauldrons and body possession, I have read relevant records in some books in the library."

"If Miss Ouyang is facing a similar problem, I can offer you some small assistance."

Saying that, Liu Zimo tapped the cup lightly with his finger, using the wine as ink, and wrote four large characters on the table: [Spiritual Sense Nine Tempering].

"This is a special method for cultivating the intensity of Spiritual Sense. When cultivated to the extreme, Spiritual Sense becomes as solid as a physical object, and the sea of consciousness becomes as solid as a rock, effectively preventing external forces from possessing the body!"

Ouyang Xinxin's eyes lit up, and she eagerly asked Liu Zimo, "Can I cultivate it within two months?"

Liu Zimo decisively shook his head:

"Two months definitely won't be enough. Any Cultivation Technique that cultivates Spiritual Sense is not a shortcut. It requires continuous practice and accumulation to possibly reach the profound state of Returned to Origin."

Ouyang Xinxin's expression darkened, and she instantly became listless.

The ancestor of the Ouyang family would not give her so much time to cultivate and enhance her own Spiritual Sense.

She only had two months left!

"Forget it, just treat what I said earlier as nonsense. Don't take it to heart, Brother Liu!"

"Come, let's drink. We won't return until we're drunk!"

Ouyang Xinxin shook her head lightly, no longer mentioning the previous topic. She directly picked up a pot of spirit wine, poured it for herself, and drank cup after cup.

[It seems that there is no hope left!]

[Even if I have enough time to cultivate this 'Nine Refinements of Spiritual Sense' to the full Return Realm, I may not be able to resist the forced possession of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!]

[Moreover, Ouyang Songnian and the others will definitely intervene and prevent me from having the opportunity to cultivate the Spiritual Sense Cultivation Technique.]

[Heh, I really didn't expect it. The survival environment in the Immortal World is much more cruel than when I was in the Small Thousand Worlds!]

[We Ascenders, no matter how talented we are, simply cannot resist those old antiques who have cultivated for tens or even hundreds of thousands of years in the Transcendent realm! Our fate has been determined since the moment we Ascended, and there is no way to resist!]

[This Liu Zimo in front of me is most likely also an Ascender. The reason he is disguising himself so thoroughly and acting so cautiously is probably because of this!]

[After all, the attitude of the Immortal Gate towards Ascenders is even colder and more ruthless than that of the cultivation clans. Once we Ascend, we are no longer in control!]

[However, I will never surrender so easily! If there is no way to save myself in the end, I would rather self-destruct than become someone else's Human Cauldron!]

[...]

Ouyang Xinxin's thoughts surged in her mind, fluctuating intensely.

Liu Zimo stood opposite her, listening attentively to everything she was thinking, not missing a single word.

When he heard Ouyang Xinxin's determination to die rather than become someone else's Human Cauldron, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

This girl is quite resolute!

However, she still hasn't realized that if it comes to that point, she won't have any chance to control her own life and death.

Just as she had thought earlier, from the moment she Ascended from her Upper Realm and was guided by Ouyang Songnian to the Ouyang family, her fate had already been determined!

When he shook hands with her just now, Liu Zimo also discovered some deeply hidden soul restrictions within her body.

Once Ouyang Xinxin had the idea of self-destruction and started to act on it, the hidden restrictions within her would automatically erupt, directly imprisoning her on the spot.

Wanting to die is nothing more than an unattainable luxury.

"However, this little girl has already started to doubt my identity as an Ascender. It is indeed a dangerous signal."

"If she is successfully possessed by someone in the future, all her current memories will undoubtedly be absorbed and inherited by the possessor."

"If that's the case, won't I also be exposed?"

Liu Zimo's thoughts surged, and a hint of hidden worry arose in his heart.

It seems that he can't come up with a plan now!

Either help Ouyang Xinxin get through the crisis of being possessed after two months, or find an opportunity to kill her and eliminate future troubles.

Liu Zimo glanced at the girl in front of him, her eyes red and her spirit on the verge of collapse, and a rare sense of compassion rose in his heart.

Regardless, she was the first person he encountered after ascending to the Upper Realm, and their fate was not shallow.

Moreover, as fellow Ascension practitioners, they shared common enemies and positions. Perhaps he could bring Ouyang Xinxin into his own camp, just like Yu Jiangcheng, and make her work for him.

Thinking about it, if he could use her to subdue the entire Ouyang family, and then use the influence of the Ouyang family to gather and divert Ascension practitioners who came from the Earth Realm to the Upper Realm, it seemed like a good choice.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Having one more immortal cultivation family would provide an additional guarantee!

"Yao Lingling, get ready. This woman in front of us will be under your care from now on!"

Liu Zimo secretly transmitted his voice to Yao Lingling in his sea of consciousness.

Dealing with other people's soul possession, of course, Yao Lingling, the devouring spirit bug, was more professional. With it residing in Ouyang Xinxin's sea of consciousness, even if a Nascent Soul peak's Spiritual Sense invaded, it had a way to devour and refine it.

Of course, more importantly, Yao Lingling could subtly influence a person's mind and intelligence.

With Yao Lingling "taking care" of Ouyang Xinxin, Liu Zimo could feel more at ease entrusting her with the task of extraditing Ascension practitioners from the Earth Realm.

"Master, these are all trivial matters for this bug. This woman isn't even at the Gold Core stage. This bug can easily create a Spirit Body and instantly occupy her sea of consciousness."

"But the problem now is that there is someone even more powerful here at Qingyun Main Peak. This bug dares not reveal the slightest breath!"

Yao Lingling pouted and reported in a low voice.

Not to mention losing a Spirit Body clone last night, even its true body was almost detected and discovered by the other party. It was too dangerous.

If it dared to show itself now, it was afraid that even its master might not be able to protect it.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zimo casually glanced at the high platform.

Seeing that Chunyu Zifang and the bookkeeper were not paying attention to their side, he whispered to Yao Lingling:

"Don't worry, that Chunyu Zifang is high and mighty. He won't even notice a small family member like Ouyang Xinxin."

"For now, you just need to create a Spirit Body clone and hide in Ouyang Xinxin's sea of consciousness. When she leaves Qingyun Immortal Gate, then you can unleash your web!"

The Lingyin Supernatural Power of the devouring spirit bug clan was unique and extremely secretive. Liu Zimo had a deep understanding of this since his time in the Earth Realm.

Under normal circumstances, as long as they didn't actively expose their aura and only focused on hiding, no one could detect their existence.

"That's simple!"

Yao Lingling nodded easily upon hearing this.

Then, with a thought, it directly separated a more illusory Spirit Body clone from its own bug body.

Whoosh!

Before Liu Zimo could react, Yao Lingling's Spirit Body clone turned into a stream of light and swiftly drilled into Ouyang Xinxin's sea of consciousness, lurking motionless.

Ouyang Xinxin didn't notice anything from beginning to end.

She continued to sit there, pouring and drinking wine, already showing a hint of drunkenness, with both cheeks flushed.
