Chapter 1115: Chapter 528: Transforming into a Mouse—Cutting Your Internet Cable, Stealing Your WiFi

Due to brain issues, Fuji found using sword spirits rather clumsy, even for just the few steps towards the cave entrance, she staggered.

While walking, barely coordinating her feet, Fuji explained the situation to Zhang Ze.

According to Fuji, the reason Xiao Jing was able to find this place was likely due to leveraging the power of the Nine Huis, which are the same black slime as Fuji.

Everything prepared after entering the Holy Land was aimed at replacing Fuji.

After all, returning to origins, Fuji, Nine Huis, Source of Ten Thousand Laws, the shell renamed Baiyujing, all indispensable.

However, Xiao Jing seems to always be slightly lacking in everything.

All four progress bars neatly stalled in their ninety-plus percent positions.

For example, Source of Ten Thousand Laws.

Back when the Human Emperor (Fuji Version) scattered the Ten Thousand Laws, he dispersed the Source of Ten Thousand Laws throughout the heavens and earth of the Four Continents to help the Human Race comprehend Taoist Technique and advance along the path of Tao.

But those fragments did not linger in the world forever; instead, they gradually returned to the Holy Land over the three thousand years.

Yet due to the throne being vacant and Fuji absent, these fragments of the Source of Ten Thousand Laws failed to mend.

These fragments scattered throughout various parts of the Holy Land, settling in various creatures or the minerals of the Holy Land, which resulted in those golden Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

However, because of his overly ’loyal’ black-clad subordinates’ detection, even today, he has not gathered the Source of Ten Thousand Laws.

As for that black aura, it’s unclear whether it was a byproduct from refining Baiyujing, which he conveniently used for defense, or something related to the black slime, Nine Huis.

Details need to be asked when choking him to death.

...

"Speaking of, is there really a way for a person to become you? It doesn’t seem right no matter how you think about it," Zhang Ze asked while walking.

Zhang Ze didn’t believe that a human could transform into Fuji, as even an oddball like him couldn’t handle Fuji’s mind divided into billions and thoughts rushing across thousands of miles.

What he could do was simply block his ears, chant not listening, and become unaffected by Fuji’s influence.

"Generally, it’s not possible," Fuji replied.

"You saw His Majesty’s situation just now; apart from things like Lily, which can barely keep up with my thought process, most people cannot share my mind, or... understand me.

"Xiao Jing is no exception; trying to control the sphere... I mean Baiyujing, with just his mind isn’t sufficient.

"That’s why he involved those earlier... early... uh uh..." Fuji stumbled over her words and tripped because she forgot to use her rear legs while walking.

Zhang Ze sighed and took out a [New Flying Talisman] from his pocket, sticking it onto Fuji’s forehead.

"Thanks." After floating up, Fuji resumed speaking, "Based on the memories I read from Baiyujing, Xiao Jing’s initial attempt to control Baiyujing was through splitting souls.

"He slaughtered most Xiao family bloodlines except himself, turning them into his split-soul Dharma Bodies, essentially those limbs."

"But this method failed," Zhang Ze said.

"Correct, most were defective products; only a few were useful, but due to Xiao Jing’s nature, these split-soul Dharma Bodies were unlike me..." After contemplating her wording, Fuji continued, "They’re not as united as I am.

"To me, each one of me is me; we are both multitude and singular.

"But he cannot," Zhang Ze chimed in, "His limbs, including himself, are selfish, suspicious, vampire-like, just like true enemies."

"Yes." Fuji nodded, "So he changed his plan."

The two walked to the cave entrance, and Fuji pointed at the seniors hanging in the distance.

"He chose to link the Divine Souls of those cultivators together, weaving them into a vast net, using these people as nodes while connecting more sword spirits as redundant nodes, to crudely imitate me."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ze realized, "No wonder, he created sword spirits for this."

Truth be told, sword spirits are quite useless, especially high-level sword spirits with intelligence. Unless by extraordinary luck, creating an intelligent one is exceptionally costly.

In contrast, sword spirits’ mimicry ability and ability to link integrations contradict this independent intelligence, mutually contradictory.

Previously, Lily considered giving up on producing high-level sword spirits capable of birthing intelligence, instead opting to produce the lowest-tier, Golden Core and below, to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

But just as this idea formed, the sword spirits united together, launched the ’sword spirit’s life matters’ movement, and pushed back Lily’s evil notion.

Yet Lily still didn’t give up, because these sword spirits are really expensive.

Therefore...

"Exactly, those sword spirits controlled by Xiao Jing, named Colorful Robe, only look plentiful but aren’t limitless." Fuji remarked.

"Especially those Colorful Robe models engaged against Sect Leader Lu and them; actually, most have been severely damaged.

"Lu Tianming model sword spirits are reduced to only five or six units."

Zhang Ze nodded, "I see, so if these Colorful Robe models are used as guards and are also Xiao Jing’s redundant nodes, destroying them would foil Xiao Jing’s plan, wouldn’t it?"

Fuji, "It’s not that simple; the focus is still on the cultivators that are hung.

"But, if we destroy them, our chances of winning indeed increase a lot."

"This is simple, just call some more people," Zhang Ze said.

Now that the passage between the Holy Land and Four Continents is open, travel is no longer affected by the black aura; dealing with those Colorful Robe models is not a problem anymore.
