The Devilish Immortal Chapter 80

Chapter 80 Confrontation

At this time, Lyu Liang heard that Zi Tong Fairy had gone for a long trip and felt a little sorry that he could not see her off. In the days that followed, Lyu Liang completely closed his Divine Soul like what he had decided before and left all the time to Dumb Kid.

Now to think about it, when he first arrived at Pangu Origin world, the behavior and actions that he exhibited then were like unconscious acts done by an idiot. When Black appeared later and let him regain consciousness at night, he was sure that there was no such tiny soul yet.

However, since his frequent interaction with Yang Ying, his “Dumb Kid” side seemed to develop a sense of his own gradually. At first, he only followed others. Later he learned to help to do things. Looking at it now, Dumb Kid was already not the original Dumb Kid from that time.

Until the incident with Qi Yuantian, when the Five-element Leech was absorbing the Heaven-h.e.l.l Water, he felt something was being sucked out of his body. At that time, Black and he believed that it was only the Heaven-h.e.l.l Water that was in the body. Now, this tiny soul had probably been sucked out as well!

From Dumb Kid’s behavior, this tiny soul was the main soul that controlled its behavior and consciousness! That was to say, since that time, there had been two persons in Lyu Liang’s body, one was the true Lyu Liang himself and the other was Dumb Kid who hid in the corner!

…

Yang Ying still came daily during the day. She either chatted to Dumb Kid or took him out to do things. In the evening, she came into the room to sit and talk for a while.

During the evenings before, Yang Ying would chat with Dumb Kid for a while and then leave. At that time, Dumb Kid would automatically revert to being Lyu Liang. Since Lyu Liang completely closed his Divine Soul, Dumb Kid had extra time to sleep. Often, after Yang Ying left, Dumb Kid would lie on the bed and sleep soundly.

Day after day, Dumb Kid who had separated from Lyu Liang, seemed to be become more and more normal. His life status had also begun to change.

When Yang Ying went to see him, he still followed her. However, when Yang Ying went to practice or do alchemy, Dumb Kid would not follow her. Instead, he would begin to cultivate in a place nearby.

One morning after ten days, Dumb Kid broke through without any signs! He upgraded from the Late-stage of Gold Core to the Peak of Gold Core stage! Lyu Liang discovered that after Dumb Kid had broken through, the tiny soul grew bigger as well!

From then on, the “stupid” look on Dumb Kid’s face disappeared. Although he still stared at Yang Ying fixedly, now his look was a look of love. At the same time, his behavior became more normal and his speech was no longer incoherent. Of course, the word “Ying’er” was still on his lips. However, now everyone could feel the love revealed in the gentle mutterings instead of the stupid and innocent tone.

Apparently, Yang Ying discovered this change as well. She started to spend more time with Dumb Kid and they began to have more in common to talk about on extensive contents. Dumb Kid was like a newborn child. Apart from cultivation which he did not need to be taught, in other areas including item identification and daily life behavior, he was like a piece of blank paper.

As long as Yang Ying had the time, she would incessantly teach Dumb Kid all kinds of things. Dumb Kid was smart. Basically, he could remember everything after learning them once and he never forgot what he learnt. This was a huge difference from the state when he couldn’t remember anything!

After another month, Dumb Kid had completely changed into another person. In Lyu Liang’s opinion, Dumb Kid was just another Lyu Liang! The only difference between them was that in the heart of Dumb Kid, there was only Yang Ying!

One night, Dumb Kid did not go to sleep as usual after sending Yang Ying off. Instead, he seemed to have something on his mind and sat at the table, motionless. After a while, he seemed to arrive at an important decision and had a resolute look on his face.

Lyu Liang was too familiar with this feeling! This was the look that he always had when making a final decision every time he faced a life-and-death situation!

“h.e.l.lo, can we have a chat? You should be the main soul of this body, right? Really, thank you for allowing me to have such a happy time.” Suddenly, a familiar voice floated into Lyu Liang’s closed Divine Soul. Yes, it was so familiar, wasn’t that his voice? However, its owner was Dumb Kid now.

Lyu Liang was calm. It seemed that he had been expecting such a scene. Yes, when Dumb Kid broke through to the Peak of Gold Core stage, he obviously felt that the tiny seed seemed to have noticed the existence of his main soul.

“Oh, this feeling is so strange. So how are you! To be honest, I expected this to happen, but I really don’t know what to say, it’s amazing.”

“Haha, I still remember my stupid look initially. If there is no Ying’er, I probably won’t have a sense of my own. In fact, I am also you, but not all of you. Just like you can feel my thoughts. I have known your secrets for a long time. In the end, I am just a part of your soul.”

“Now that you mentioned it, this reminds me of my eldest brother, who was also known as Xu Chongzhi. I remember that he is a ‘Two-soul Immortal Body’. The elder brother was just his second soul. Their personalities was so different and even their races were different. We look a little like them.”

“I mustered all my courage to confront you. I like Ying’er. If I lose her, I may not want to exist anymore. However, unless I learn the skill of creating a doppelganger, I will never have this day. Even if there is one day when my soul power can fight against you, I can never have the idea to overtake your soul, because I am Dumb Kid, but also Lyu Liang! Everything that you carry is everything that I carry as well! However, I am unwilling to give up when it comes to Ying’er!”

“Do not worry, we are born from the same roots. I will never suppress you deliberately! Let us find time to approach Yang Ying. You know that I cannot waste my time here for too long and we need to come up with a plan. “It is a pity that I have no clue about the Body-Remodeling Secret Method. Master also went to find this secret technique and has not returned yet. Senior Feng had said before that the secret treasure for remodeling the body should be at the other realm connected by the Sunset Kingdom. When I am strong enough, I will go there to explore!”

“Well, you are right, we still have hope! Even though we can’t do it now, there will always be a day when I become the real Dumb Kid. My Taoist companion will only be Yang Ying in this life! By the way, can, can you give me another five days, just the last five days before I go and confront her, okay?”

Hearing the same voice and even the same tone of Dumb Kid’s soul, Lyu Liang felt a mixture of feelings. He thought for a while and then agreed to this request.

…

At this time, inside the cave of Black Wind Valley, four figures gathered together again.

“Fifth Feng! What are you doing! Zi Tong Fairy has been gone for two months and why are you not taking any actions yet?”

“First Huo, you are still unaware, right? That Dumb Kid, shortly after Zi Tong Fairy left, suddenly recovered his mind and upgraded himself to the Peak of Gold Core stage! You know his tricks, even a cultivator at Nascent Soul stage may not be able to beat him! Now he is no longer a fool, do you think it is so easy to lure him out of the sect?”

“Okay! Stop quarreling! Fifth Feng, First Huo is just anxious, after all, Boss only gave us a year, now more than eight months have pa.s.sed. If you can’t complete the task, have you thought about the consequences? What will happen to the people of your tribe? If there is no good opportunity, you can just do it in the sect and we will help you. Anyway, this is the last mission, it does not matter if we are exposed!”

“I understand! Please let me try again, ten days, no! In five days, I must get the Heaven-h.e.l.l Water!”

…

Since the two souls in Lyu Liang’s body had their chat, Dumb Kid cherished the days that he was left with. Every day, he would spend as much time as possible with Yang Ying. The reluctance and attachment in his eyes grew gradually. What surprised him was that Yang Ying showed the same look occasionally, which gave him immense courage to make an important decision!

On the evening of the fifth day, Yang Ying sent Dumb Kid back as usual and accompanied him to talk.

Suddenly, Dumb Kid stood up and stared at Yang Ying intensely. Yang Ying was stunned and stood up with her conditioned reflexes on standby. Before she understood what was going on, she was dragged into Dumb Kid’s arms! Then, he gave her a suffocating hug!

Yang Ying was stunned and after struggling a little, she suddenly hugged Dumb Kid back, leaning her head on his shoulder and burst into tears with a smile.

“Ying’er, I like you! If I have a Taoist companion, then it must be you! Sorry, there is something I have been hiding from you because I am afraid if I say it, I will lose you! But I realized that avoiding it is not the way to do it! To be with you forever, I must be brave to face anything!” Dumb Kid’s deep voice sounded.

Lyu Liang directly turned off the Divine Soul sensor and at the same time he sighed, “Dumb Kid, you are way more direct than me”.

Later, in the narration by Dumb Kid, he told her how Lyu Liang had arrived from the chaotic world and became stupid because of the seal by the Crystal Pearl. Later, Lyu Liang recovered gradually with the help of the Shadow Domain Beast and how he produced this Divided Soul, including his future plans; he told her everything without hiding anything.

In Dumb Kid’s arms, Yang Ying listened quietly. After he finished, she raised her hand and stroked his face with one hand. She said softly, “No wonder when I first saw you, you kept muttering ‘Ying’er’, so it turned out to be someone else. In the end, I am the one thinking too much about it.”

“I, I… that is Lyu Liang’s Ying’er, my Ying’er is only you!” Dumb Kid anxiously explained.

Looking at his innocent face, Ying, who had already stopped crying, suddenly burst in tears again.

Dumb Kid panicked, he hugged Yang Ying with one hand and used the other hand to wipe away her tears and said hurriedly, “Ying’er, Ying’er, my good Ying’er! I reached a consensus with Lyu Liang. As long as we can find a way to reshape the body, we can be together forever! You can be a.s.sured that I already know where my target is! Wait for me here and it will not be too long but I will definitely come back. At that time, there will be no Lyu Liang, only Dumb Kid!”

Yang Ying cried and nodded. Then, suddenly she waved her hands in front of Dumb Kid. Dumb Kid’s face was still full of love for her, but his eyes closed and his body dropped to the floor.

Lyu Liang was shocked. Before he could understand what was going on, he heard Yang Ying’s voice from the outside, “I have temporarily suppressed Dumb Kid’s soul. Lyu Liang, we should talk about what is going to happen next. I don’t want to let Dumb Kid know!”

Dumb Kid, who had fallen, suddenly opened his eyes and then quickly stood up, staring at Yang Ying who was smiling. Now he was Lyu Liang.

At this time, Yang Ying, who was initially so gentle, now had a horrible aura emanating from her. Lyu Liang was shocked that she was above Fairy Immortal stage! Yes, this Yang Ying who stood in front of his eyes had been upgraded to the stage of Fairy Immortal and above. As for the specifics, it was not something that Lu Liang could detect!

A black light flashed. When Yang Ying reappeared, she had changed into a black robed person with a ‘Fifth’ word embroidered on it. At the same time, a cold voice sounded, “Lyu Liang. This should be the official meeting between us. I am Fifth Feng, one of the twelve lords of Ghostly Fire Palace from the Nether Big World!”
