I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills

After all, to Yue Ya, he was her only remaining family. However, if he did not ”pass away,” his main body would not sense that something had happened to him. Nor would he be able to condense the Blood Spirit Pill to preserve all his gains from the past three years for his main body to receive.

After a while, Yue Ya seemed to have exhausted herself from crying and unexpectedly fell asleep right in Zou Er’s arms. She was already utterly exhausted from bringing herbs for Zou Er.

Despite being blind, Zou Er still lowered his head, ”looking” at Yue Ya’s sleeping face with deep affection. His expression was full of doting fondness and reluctance to part. Ever since he was severely injured by the Immortal Official and lost his sight, Yue Ya’s appearance had become a ray of light in his pitch-black world. He had never planned to take in a disciple before, but destiny worked in mysterious ways. Ultimately, Yue Ya was the first disciple he had set his heart on. This girl deserved a good future.

Gently stroking Yue Ya’s cheek again, Zou Er said softly, ”Wait for me. I will return soon... I promise!”

As soon as he spoke, Zou Er’s slightly recovered body began to show signs of turning ethereal. Then, maintaining the gesture of caressing Yue Ya’s face, he vanished in a faint crimson glow. In the end, all that remained in his place was a walnut-sized elixir pill radiating a dark red glow.

Zou Feng’s Outer Body Incarnation transformed into a Blood Spirit Pill, carrying everything he had achieved over the past three years.

”Master!?”

The moment Zou Er passed away, Yue Ya sensed it and jolted awake. However, there was nothing left to answer her. Aside from her, only a red-glowing elixir pill remained in the cellar.

Looking at the Blood Spirit Pill, Yue Ya froze for a moment before the world spun around her. She nearly fainted on the spot. Falling to her knees before the Blood Spirit Pill, her tears burst forth like a broken dam.

A moment later, Yue Ya let out a tragic wail, feeling as if something important inside her was constantly shattering. Extreme sorrow and despair overwhelmed her reason like a tidal wave...

Almost at the exact same time, in the Water Curtain Palace of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, Zou Feng, who was meditating, abruptly opened his eyes. With just that opening of his eyes, it was as if two bolts of lightning flashed through the void.

He wondered, ”Did something happen?”

Frowning slightly, Zou Feng slowly stood up. With just this simple movement, the space around him constantly twisted and tore. It felt as though indescribable monsters were faintly roaring all around him.

During his three years of laying low in Dingtian, Zou Feng spent the first two years helping a few Dao Companions painstakingly cultivate the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill. In the third year, he chose to enter secluded cultivation to thoroughly digest his previous gains and consolidate his realm. Of course, he also used the Visualization Skill to cultivate the Great Universal Hand.

Upon opening his eyes this time, it was obvious that Zou Feng could break through to the Golden Core Realm Late Stage at any moment. No wonder the Undying Master had advised him to ”settle and accumulate.” Sometimes, advancing too fast wasn’t necessarily a good thing. It was just that right now, he felt inexplicably restless. Something must have gone wrong with his Outer Body Incarnation.

He guessed, ”Is it Zou Er’s side?”

After sensing carefully, he immediately discovered that Zou Yi had smoothly returned, whereas his connection with Zou Er was nearly severed. He could only faintly sense that Zou Er had left something behind...

Soon, Zou Feng shook his head. Sitting around thinking about it was useless; he would know once he went to take a look. Speaking of which, it was also time to return to the Northern Domain, continue his culinary journey, and... slaughter Gongyang Wuji.

Pushing open the door, he wasn’t greeted by his Dao Companions, nor was he greeted by Lu Wu. Instead, it was the white-haired Zou Yi, who had been waiting respectfully for quite some time. In the Poisonous Miasma Forest Sea, Zou Yi had safely and successfully obtained the Crystal Core of the Chang Poison Demon Tree. Thus, without further delay, he returned immediately and waited outside Zou Feng’s secluded cultivation chamber.

Meeting his clone was not much different from looking in a mirror for Zou Feng, even though the reflection in this ”mirror” could move autonomously.

There was no need to greet himself. Zou Feng walked straight toward Zou Yi, brushing past him a moment later. After brushing past, Zou Yi turned around and followed right behind Zou Feng. The footsteps of the ”two men” quickly synced up. Furthermore, the rest of their body movements and facial expressions gradually became identical.

A moment later, as if Zou Feng had dragged out an afterimage while walking, his footsteps paused only slightly before Zou Yi merged back into him.

BOOM!

A vast and boundless Qi Force surged into the sky. Without breaking his stride, Zou Feng continued to pace slowly. As the Qi Force churned, his hair actually showed signs of turning white. However, it didn’t turn completely white like Zou Yi’s in the end. Instead, it looked as if a few strands had been dyed white, making Zou Feng appear even more exceptionally wicked and eerie.

At the same time, the phantom of a towering giant tree rapidly emerged behind Zou Feng. It gave the impression that a ”World Tree” from the Outer Realm was constantly blessing him with power.

”Five Poison Holy Lotus Skill (Realm of Transcendence) Progress: 20%”

”Great Universal Hand (Unity of Heaven and Man), Progress: 98%”

After receiving Zou Yi’s gains, especially the Crystal Core of the Chang Poison Demon Tree, the cultivation progress of the Realm of Transcendence stage Five Poison Holy Lotus Skill skyrocketed directly from 1% to 20%. To soar at such a speed in the Realm of Transcendence could truly only be described as terrifying.

As for the Great Universal Hand, it benefited quite a lot as well. After all, among the Exotic Poisons Zou Yi had acquired in the Poisonous Miasma Forest Sea, there were naturally varieties capable of strengthening the Great Universal Hand. However, the biggest factor contributing to the Great Universal Hand being on the verge of surpassing the Unity of Heaven and Man was still the Visualization Map manifested on the body of the Celestial Dao Cauldron.

In short, this skill was only one step away from a breakthrough. From now on, even if he only used the Visualization Map to cultivate, he could reach the Realm of Transcendence at any time. Of course, his other Poison Skills and Poison Techniques had also benefited significantly, with their progress increasing. However, there were no substantial breakthroughs.

Zou Feng was naturally quite satisfied with the feedback brought by his Outer Body Incarnation. He really hadn’t expected that his Outer Body Incarnation could give him such a huge surprise in a mere three years. But the unexpected is a constant in life. Although Zou Yi had over-completed his mission, Zou Er had most likely suffered an unexpected downfall. But it wasn’t time to draw conclusions yet. Afterward, he definitely had to prioritize checking what exactly Zou Er had left for him...

The next moment, Zou Feng stepped out of the secret chamber. The aura flowing around him indicated that he had clearly broken through to the Golden Core Realm Late Stage. Having accumulated for these past few years and just reclaimed his Outer Body Incarnation, Zou Yi, reaching the Golden Core Realm Late Stage was only natural. Zou Feng felt overwhelmingly powerful right now, wishing he could immediately battle Gongyang Wuji for three hundred rounds.

At this time, outside the secret chamber, his several Dao Companions bowed in greeting one after another, congratulating Zou Feng on exiting his secluded cultivation and further improving his realm and strength.

Because of the painstaking cultivation during the first two years, all five Dao Companions had currently reached the Dao Foundation Realm. Furthermore, their achievements in their respective Sound Rhythm Skills were equally impressive. It could be said that the band Zou Feng had previously envisioned had taken its initial form.

One must never underestimate the might of adding a band into the Xuanwu Poison Domain. Although Zou Feng was growing increasingly powerful, once he went to the Northern Domain, it was impossible to only encounter lone Tribulation Cultivators. More often than not, quite a few Tribulation Cultivators would come in groups, or even form grand formations consisting of hundreds of Tribulation Cultivators.

Especially those Cultivators from the Dubhe Divine Domain; they appeared in the form of armies. Once led by a formidable Golden Core Realm Cultivator, their overall combat strength would be extremely troublesome to deal with. If he encountered such a situation and Zou Feng was still operating as a lone wolf, he would only be able to avoid their sharp edges.

But things were different now. With a group of Poisonous Demon Maidens, the Five Elements Band, Su Qingyu, Lu Wu, and those old acquaintances from the former Great Yan Dynasty who followed him... With such a lineup, even if he encountered an army of Tribulation Cultivators, Zou Feng wouldn’t be afraid in the slightest. He could completely take them head-on. In fact, if their coordination was on point, even if they encountered a Nascent Soul Realm Tribulation Cultivator, they should be able to hold them off for a while and calmly wait for their own Nascent Soul bigshots to come as reinforcements.

Scanning his current array of supporters, Zou Feng was filled with towering ambition. He announced loudly, ”Everyone, get ready. Tomorrow, we march into the Northern Domain... Let the Tribulation Cultivators experience a tribulation of their own!”
