Cha Shuangying's will merged with Ximo Island, it can be said that the entire island is his body.
Yet the part of his thinking and memory was lost, leaving only an obsession.
Over the centuries, he relied on this obsession to continually absorb his scattered memories and thoughts, gradually regaining some ability to think.
But in general, he is still at the level of thinking "who am I".
Xuanyuan Dharma King only knew that his master died under the Heavenly Tribulation, but left many hidden Divine Thoughts, which he has been trying to find over the years.
If everything goes smoothly for another few hundred years, Cha Shuangying would be able to proactively contact him and use thoughts to communicate with people on the island. However, Xuanyuan Dharma King has already been devoured by the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader and is about to enter the Dharma Decline Era. After the Spiritual Energy withers, Cha Shuangying's consciousness will completely dissipate.
The Heavenly Lust Sect Leader fused with the memories of Xuanyuan Dharma King and others and absorbed the memory of Xuanyuan Dharma King finding Cha Shuangying in the past. By making meticulous calculations and sensing, he understood Cha Shuangying's situation and soon awakened Cha Shuangying's will, forcibly beginning to devour and fuse.
He thought it would be beautiful, as Cha Shuangying now had nothing left, only an obsession, which he could easily devour.
However, this obsession was refined over more than a thousand years by the old demon of the West Sea, who had survived a great Heavenly Tribulation with such powerful Thunder Fire without dissipating, making it evident.
On the contrary, it was the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader himself, who back then divided his Primordial Spirit into dozens, of which Shi Feiyang took two parts. The remaining fused into four avatars, and after Shi Feiyang took them again, to this day he has only fused three of them. Among them were also the Primordial Spirits of Xuanyuan Dharma King, Jiang Xuejun, and other noteworthy figures, each having their own obsessions. It would not be difficult for him to dominate the primary will, but it was beyond his ability to compete with Cha Shuangying for control of the will.
He established a Dharma Platform in the Underground Demon Palace, sitting on it to perform casting and fuse his will with Cha Shuangying. The fusion process was not smooth, and after the fusion, Cha Shuangying's will directly took the lead: "I am resurrected! I am finally resurrected! Hahaha! Hahaha!"
The body of the Blood Rock Hermit, containing a fusion of many Primordial Spirits and soul fragments, spread his arms wide and shouted loudly.
Resurrection was something Cha Shuangying had calculated before actively enduring the Heavenly Tribulation years ago. He knew that in the future, someone would search for his will on the island, and then he could occupy their body instead.
As for who this person might be, it was not important, whether it was his apprentice, apprentice's apprentice, or an outsider, as long as he could regain a physical body!
The body is filled with Blood Flame, the Divine Soul is a large patchwork, and the will is led by Cha Shuangying.
Whoever's will is dominant will dictate the actions!
The hidden treasures found by Xuanyuan Dharma King over the years automatically returned to their place. He remembered many things and used casting to gather all the hidden treasures spread throughout the island, remembering even more things.
"I am Cha Shuangying, I am not Xin Shuangchen, not Ma Xuanyuan, not Jiang Xuejun…" he murmured, "My master is Yan Yingmu, my home is in Miao Zhen Temple? Not right, not right, I suffered Heavenly Punishment, and was buried in Mangcang Mountain by Ren Shou, the disciple of that Tai Yuan old man, after being executed by the Seven Sword Heart Execution… Also incorrect, I am Cha Shuangying, my disciple is the Five Lascivious Venerable, poor my disciple… Hmm? I am Cha Shuangying! I am the old demon of the West Sea! I suffered Heavenly Punishment back then, reincarnated and was taken as a disciple by Yan Yingmu…"
Multiple memories mixed together, and multiple wills vied for control, driving this old demon into madness as he kept emphasizing that he was Cha Shuangying, then reflecting on what Cha Shuangying had done.
At this critical moment, Ji Nan came over.
The rocks on Ximo Island were pitch black, harder than steel, rugged and uneven, looking uncomfortable, with a giant cave in the center.
Now, there was only the old demon on the island, Ji Nan directly entered the Underground Demon Palace.
"Who are you? Ji Nan?" Cha Shuangying watched him, tilting his head in thought to judge if this person was an enemy or ally.
In the memories of Xuanyuan Dharma King, Heavenly Lust Sect Leader, Blood Rock Hermit, Jiang Xuejun, and others, the attitude towards Ji Nan was different. Various thoughts surged in his mind, diverse and complex, causing him to be unable to determine for a moment. His gaze at Ji Nan constantly changed, gentle one second, fierce and ferocious the next.
Ji Nan didn't know his true situation either; who could expect such an extraordinary affair? He merely thought it was still the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader and told him that the Giant Wood God invited him to attack the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain together.
"Outer Heaven Divine Mountain? Giant Wood God?" A flood of memories about these two terms filled Cha Shuangying's mind, "There is an Evil Dragon there that has become a spirit, I must go and kill it!"
Regardless of whether it was the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader, the Demon Corpse Gu Chen, the Xuanyuan Dharma King, or Jiang Xuejun, they all harbored deep hatred for Shi Feiyang. At this moment, their thoughts were unified, and an overwhelming hatred surged in their hearts. Cha Shuangying's expression became incredibly grotesque and terrifying, as he leaped up from the Dharma Platform: "I want to kill him! I want to skin that Demon Dragon and tear its tendons out!"
Ji Nan noticed something was wrong with him, but for a thousand-year-old demon like the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader who had been subjected to Heavenly Punishment, being abnormal was quite normal. As long as he was willing to help deal with Shi Feiyang, it was fine.
Seeing the other party so decisively and readily jumping up to slay the dragon, Ji Nan was quite pleased, thinking, I haven't even stated my conditions yet, and he's already agreed. Truly, when the Demon Dragon commits evil, everyone must punish it!
The two hurriedly walked out, and when they reached the cave entrance, Ji Nan went out, but Cha Shuangying instead let out a miserable cry and fell back inside.
"What's going on?" Ji Nan turned his head to look back.
Cha Shuangying, his hair disheveled, crawled out of the ground like a spirit cat emerging from its cave, wrapped in a wisp of black smoke flying outward. When he reached the cave entrance, his heart suddenly ached sharply, his mind went blank, as if he were about to die.
He hurriedly retreated again...
"Fellow Daoist, what happened to you?" Ji Nan asked from outside.
Cha Shuangying stood in the shadows, his facial muscles twitching, his expression twisted. In his mind, various wills were fighting and tearing each other apart. Not only was the will of the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader fighting back, but even the wills of Xuanyuan Dharma King, Demon Corpse Gu Chen, Jiang Xuejun, and others were trying to seize control.
It turned out that since Cha Shuangying had voluntarily responded to the Heavenly Tribulation, his body and soul were destroyed, and his will attached itself to Ximo Island.
This was the contingency he had left for himself. He specifically spent a lot of effort beforehand refining forty-nine Magical Treasures, constructing Dharma Platforms at key locations within the island, placing Magic Artifacts within them, and slaughtering countless living beings for a blood sacrifice, refining the entire island to be more suitable for the attachment of his Divine Soul will.
Later, his will lay dormant on the island for a thousand years, and the two had completely merged. The island was his body, and he was the island's will.
His consciousness was now inside the body of the Blood Rock Hermit, roughly equivalent to "Soul Emergence" and "Forced Possession."
Logically, he could abandon Ximo Island's "shell" and leave directly, but because he himself lacked the Three Souls and Seven Spirits and had lost a large portion of his memories, he was just a powerful will. Once he left the island, his will within the Blood Rock Hermit's body would weaken, and the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader and the others would regain a dominant position!
The stalemate lasted for a moment, and Cha Shuangying regained control of the body, but he couldn't leave Ximo Island. He couldn't retreat either, because he had already obtained the memories of the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader, knowing that the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader was here to consume him. If he retreated, the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader would surely rally and prepare to swallow him again!
This put Cha Shuangying in a difficult position.
Ji Nan asked again, "Fellow Daoist, why haven't you come out yet?"
In Cha Shuangying's mind, multiple wills were fighting each other. He and the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader were close brothers, most compatible with each other, and the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader immediately offered him a deal: "My body is in a terrible state, what use is it for you to forcibly take it? Besides, I need to go to the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain to kill people, and you have no grudge against them. You have just been resurrected and still need time to recuperate.
Why don't you trick the person outside into coming in, and we can seize his physical body together. His body is that of a Heavenly Immortal, though not yet ascended, and hasn't been nurtured by heaven and earth. You take his body and quietly recuperate here for a few years, breaking free from this island, and then the world is vast, you can go wherever you wish, while I urgently need to go to the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain to kill and slay the dragon, it won't delay either of us, isn't that great?"
Cha Shuangying had only one will and a small portion of memories, lacking even the Three Souls and Seven Spirits, having barely any capacity for independent thought. When it did occur, it could only draw upon the Three Souls and Seven Spirits of the others. The thinking patterns were theirs, and upon the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader's proposal, he immediately agreed.
At this point, Ji Nan was outside inquiring impatiently, so he said: "The Outer Heaven Divine Mountain has many experts, and the Evil Dragon's mana is strong. I plan to take along the Mystic Yin Demon Banner that I've just refined. However, this banner will take a few more days to complete. Fellow Daoist, you might as well stay here for a few days. Otherwise, you could return first, and once the banner is finished, we will go to cleanse the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain with blood!"
Ji Nan was getting anxious. The Giant Wood God had urged him to quickly invite the person over. He hadn't seen Deng Yin and the others flee, but the Giant Wood God had spoken so urgently, he guessed they needed the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader to immediately follow Deng Yin and charge in, time was tight, and nothing could be delayed.
He said to Cha Shuangying: "Fellow Daoist, your divine skills are vast, and your mana knows no bounds. There's no need to exert too much effort to deal with those insects and demons..."
After a few more exchanges, Cha Shuangying said: "If Fellow Daoist is in a hurry, you can come down and lend me a hand. You are the one truly with boundless mana and divine skills. With your help, I can complete it within a single two-hour period, although it might still lack some fire control, it won't matter."
Ji Nan, firstly unaware of the various changes within the "Heavenly Lust Sect Leader's" shell, and secondly, confident in his powerful mana and armed with treasures, believed he could go anywhere without much vigilance. Hearing that with his help, the time could be compressed to an hour, he readily agreed and returned to the Underground Palace, ready to assist Cha Shuangying with refining the treasure.
