I Am Loaded with Passive Skills-Chapter 4369 - 2029: Kneel

"滴滴滴——"

"Possession detected, Mu Zixi’s pendant triggered self-destruction, junior sister’s spirit and will have been guided into the inner world, temporarily safe."

"Congratulations, Senior Brother hero, you’ve outwitted the Demon Ancestor again, you truly are a clever baby."

When the Way of the Heavens’ energy movement program left in Mu Zixi’s elixir triggered, and the sounds of this self-made rudimentary system popped up in his mind, Xu Xiaoshou was startled by his own creation.

He was engaged in a serious battle, who was causing these disruptions?

Once he regained his composure, he couldn’t help but smile, after all...

"An unexpected gain!"

Even before entering the spacetime turbulence zone, Xu Xiaoshou had already foreseen the danger in advance.

The little junior sister had been previously controlled by the God Devil Eyes, although she was eventually saved with no harm done,

yet the danger of Saint Xin remained, a limitless menace.

Because the Ultimate Life Demon Physique was too compatible with the Diabolical Force, as long as the surface alliance could be maintained, Saint Xin would show some respect.

But if Saint Xin once broke with the "Name Ancestor," they would inevitably target Xu Xiaoshou’s little junior sister!

So, would they break?

The Name Ancestor was a façade, so how could they not break?

This was not an issue at all, but an inevitable answer!

However, back then, the situation was weak, prematurely activating the Ultimate Life Demon Physique would only expose the disguise ahead of time, so Xu Xiaoshou played along with circumstances, crafting a Mu Zixi elixir.

The waiting was for the time when the break happened, and Saint Xin possessed the little junior sister.

At that point, naturally, they would return the Ultimate Life Demon Physique to Saint Xin.

But through the "Replacement Technique" in Mu Zixi’s elixir, they would take back the little junior sister’s spirit and will.

Meanwhile, they would swap in their own spirit and will to be possessed, which was the part that was cut off in advance when Mu Zixi’s elixir was created.

With the Sea of Consciousness present, Xu Xiaoshou was fundamentally unafraid of possession.

Therefore, once Saint Xin’s power entered the little junior sister’s Ultimate Life Demon Physique and successfully possessed, the part of the spirit and will that had been swapped would initiate.

No matter if they were shattered or preserved, at least when touching the Demon Ancestor’s essence, it would leave behind an Imprint, that is, a branding.

The Imprint of Intent, Xu Xiaoshou had tested it.

Back then, when posing as the Name Ancestor to enter the mother coffin world, they had left one, and the Demon Ancestor had not noticed till now.

So, this method was entirely feasible.

And indeed, just at the moment Mu Zixi’s elixir triggered, what Xu Xiaoshou could feel was that the "little junior sister’s" spirit and will had already been grasped by the Demon Ancestor.

Temporarily preserved, it seemed intended to threaten himself.

But his Imprint of Intent, in its violent mental fluctuation, had silently hidden in Saint Xin’s consciousness, waiting for an even greater eruption.

So then...

The show is about to begin!

...

"No——"

The Crystal Palace was broken through, the Ultimate Life Demon Physique was possessed.

The people of the Apricot Realm, through the Transmission Sky Curtain, clearly heard Lord Shou’s excruciating cry.

His eyes were blood-red, shooting out from the spacetime turbulence, arriving above the Apricot Realm, only it was too late, nothing could change, he could only sorrowfully roar:

"Disaster should not reach family!"

"Saint Xin, do you know what you’re doing?"

"Avoiding confrontation in battle, instead, you possess my junior sister, she’s merely of a higher void level, you’ll bear a millennium of infamy, marked for eternity!"

Infamy? 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Marked?

Saint Xin heard and could only laugh.

Their physique had been destroyed, why care for these external names?

Looking at Xu Xiaoshou, who had calculated everything against him all along but was now reversed back at this crucial moment, Saint Xin felt a burst of joy at heart, although not expressed in words, while pulling open his voice with a sinister laugh, that was absolutely out of question:

"Xu Xiaoshou, aren’t you skilled in conniving minds?"

"You plotted against me for millennia, schemed in tardy heavenly kingdoms, didn’t you brag about ’seven exits and entrances,’ wanting to kill the ancestor thoroughly while I couldn’t react?"

"Come on!"

Saint Xin flipped his hand, with devilish energy sealing two substances, one being the spirit of Xu Xiaoshou’s junior sister and the other her will.

"Let her go!"

Xu Xiaoshou’s eyes were furious and tearing, fists clenched, unable to suppress his grief.

"Ah hahaha——"

Watching the sudden burst of killing intent, the desire to step forward yet daring not to approach, fearing he might impulsively crush the junior sister’s spirit and will, Saint Xin was elated, a sense of satisfaction arose.

Lei Xi’er, or Mu Zixi, weighed heavily in Xu Xiaoshou’s heart, as seen from choosing to kill Dao Xuanji for revenge when pleading in the Holy Palace for saving the junior sister.

Not to mention, Saint Xin had a complete grasp of Xu Xiaoshou’s life, knowing he didn’t have many friends, just one junior sister and a master, considered the closest family during his early cultivation.

The weakness of the Way of Emotions resides in this.

Family ties, friendships, and love are most compelling to the human heart.

Among these, an inseparable family bond is paramount; Xu Xiaoshou originally stood alone, but it was the arrival of this master-disciple duo that brought the sense of family.

Godhood-Sealing and Ancestor, this serves as the anchor point of one’s heart, the key to finding the true self.

In battle, this is where their strength is insufficient, where complete protection cannot be attained.

And from the beginning, Saint Xin seized Xu Xiaoshou’s weakness to expand the value of Mu Zixi’s spirit and will, thereby threatening, pushing Xu Xiaoshou to collapse, isn’t it?

"Do you want your junior sister’s spirit and will?" Saint Xin’s lips curled as they stalled for time while recovering strength.

"Saint Xin!" Xu Xiaoshou was intuitive, seemingly understood something, unwilling to capitulate, wanting to fight.

Saint Xin laughed, their palm slightly gripped, ready to exert force to crush.

"Stop!"

Xu Xiaoshou instantly halted his steps, his mouth trembled uncontrollably.

His unfocused eyes subconsciously glanced toward the countless spectators of the Apricot Realm, as if today’s scene felt eerily reminiscent.
