Chapter 6113: I Didnât Eat A Ghost
âClose enough.â Li Qiye said while staring at the white string.
âThe real thing is a complete grand dao.â Coiling Moon True Emperor took a deep breath and said: âSo it can absorb just pretty much anything.â
âGiven its rarity, it doesnât care about ordinary cultivators. Only you would absorb others using this tiny piece.â Li Qiye gave him the side eye.
âOnly immortals.â He took a deep breath and recalled the past.
His piece was insignificant compared to the real thing, utterly inconsequential. Nevertheless, it paved the way for his future.
Although his grand dao wasnât one of parasitic absorption, it was still derived from the white stringâs dao. Moreover, it allowed him to survive and take over the previous temple lordâs body.
He imagined the capabilities of the actual worm combined with a supreme dao and couldnât help being overwhelmed.
âSomeone used it as a parasite against an immortal?â He turned pale.
âNo need to be surprised. You used it against a grand ghost, someone else perfected it and used it on a supreme terror.â Li Qiye said.
âIs it enough to devour an immortal?â He asked.
âThink about your case.â Li Qiye said.
âWho could it be?â He thought carefully and it might not have been a battle but rather, a secret that shouldnât have been seen.
âEvil Transformation and Fiendish Ground were the two likeliest candidates in possession of an Immortal Corpseworm.â Li Qiye said: âLooks like there was an exchange though.â
âI came to the same conclusion so I went there, Soulcast Land.â He said: âBut how did someone perform a transaction at the previous Soulcast Land or the current major ghost market and leave? The larger the transaction, the greater the length of the imprisonment. Redemption should have been impossible.â
âA loophole.â Li Qiye said: âBaihui did copy someone then.â
âAn existence leaving with the worm, must have been awfully powerful and intelligent.â He said: âNo one knows this personâs identity, thatâs for sure.â
âWeâll see about that.â Li Qiye smiled and summoned primordial laws that wrapped around the tiny piece.
Space and time trembled as his primordial laws analyzed the wormâs dao laws, fully removing it.
With that done, the worm was found to be made of two separate parts - a pure white string and another brimming with divinity and grand dao.
The former was the worm itself while the other was the dao created specifically for it. The fusion was virtually flawless and indiscernible.
âI see.â He understood how he was able to learn from the worm and become an emperor.
âTrace!â Li Qiye shouted and examined the removed grand dao, performing a temporal reversal.
The dao laws disintegrated, leaving behind floating inscrutable runes in their most primal form.
