Exorcist's Self-Cultivation-Chapter 708 - 685 I really dont know where it is

Chapter 708: 685, I really don’t know where it is. Chapter 708: 685, I really don’t know where it is. “Master, should we take action and slaughter those impostors?”

The Envelope instinctively loathed the impostors.

As Du Wei’s top bootlicker, it couldn’t stand the thought of another impostor Envelope. Otherwise, wouldn’t that be cannibalism?

But Du Wei wasn’t really in the mood. He said indifferently, “It’s not yet time to make a move. Besides, another me is surely lurking in the shadows. I suspect the fake Brother Shadow is something it conjured just to test me.”

“Ah? Why would it do that? Isn’t that provoking you?”

The Envelope was utterly puzzled.

It thought it had quite a good understanding of Du Wei, yet it still couldn’t keep up with his train of thought.

...

Du Wei sneered, “Provoking? No, it’s just probing, trying to gauge my reaction. What it wants is to take my place.”

“From the inside out, it will replicate every aspect of my being, such as Brother Shadow, you, and possibly even Pennywise, Freddy, and the powers I control.”

“Moreover, it will hide in the shadows, biding its time until it feels absolutely certain before it emerges.”

“Master, if that’s the case, doesn’t it mean that you’ll not only have to contend with Solomon’s Seventy-Two Pillars Demon Gods but also struggle against another you? Do you really have that much energy left?”

In fact, Du Wei’s current main concerns were Solomon’s Seventy-Two Pillars Demon Gods, but that was the endgame.

For now, he had to decipher the information he got from the Stele.

He also had to deal with the Vanity Sect, figuring out a way to covertly kill some Demon Gods.

Then, he had to make a trip to Hell’s Gate.

Those were the long-term issues. In the near-term, he was going to stay in New York for a few days, and as soon as the reconstruction of Hill Psychiatric Hospital began, he would return to the church.

After all, there was still a sealed stone coffin at the church waiting for him.

Just dealing with these issues one by one was enough to exhaust Du Wei. If he had to spare any energy to fight another version of himself, he would literally die of fatigue.

Therefore,

Du Wei just shook his head and said to the Envelope, “There’s no need to fight the other me at this stage. If it acts, I’ll respond. But rather than right now, I’d prefer to delay things for a while.”

“What? Great master, although you are the sun, moon, and stars, the King of Devils, the other you is definitely no good either. If you give it time to grow, what if it threatens your position?”

“After all, two tigers cannot share one mountain. How can there be another villain in this world besides you?”

Du Wei said coldly, “Because the Master of the Evil Spirit in me is about to awaken.”

Once he finished,

The Envelope was shocked.

“The Master of the Evil Spirit is awakening, my goodness! No wonder you’re not panicking at all, master. If the Master of the Evil Spirit wakes up, whatever damn impostors, damn Demon Gods there are, they’ll all be killed off!”

Du Wei simply hummed in response, neither confirming nor denying.

“But that will take a bit more time, so I’m assigning you a task. Tomorrow, you and Freddy must search for that Brother Shadow in New York, see if you can find it. If you can, restrict its growth, understand?”

“But, master, if the other fake Brother Shadow wants to hide, it won’t be easy for the Envelope to find it. Could you perhaps give the Envelope some advice?”

“After all, Brother Shadow has spent the most time with you recently. You understand it just as much as Tom understands the Red Light District. If you could offer some pointers, it would surely be much more efficient.”

Du Wei sighed helplessly, “I’m just an ordinary person; how could I possibly know everything? Ask Brother Shadow yourself.”

Having said that,

Du Wei closed his eyes and lay down on the bed to rest.

Meanwhile, the Envelope became awkward.

Opposite it, Brother Shadow, knives in hands, tilted its head and stared fixedly at it.

Although Brother Shadow had given its eyes to Du Wei,

It wasn’t human; it could still see the Envelope.

The Envelope circled around Brother Shadow once.

Then, it reached a conclusion.

“Brother Shadow may be a bit simple-minded, now blind, but actually quite handsome.”

“Pah, why am I having such strange thoughts.”

“Hey, hey, hey, Brother Shadow, if you were you, where in New York would you hide? Or what places would you like to go?”

The next second.

Pfft…

Brother Shadow silently withdrew the huge butcher knife it was holding, and the Envelope, split in two, slowly fell to the ground, turned to dust, and then revived again.

“Damn it, Brother Shadow, you idiot. You used to bully me when my master hadn’t helped me remove my constraints, and now that I’ve had them removed, you still bully me. Then my master’s help would have been in vain.”

“My Envelope…”

Brother Shadow once again raised his knife.

The Envelope was muted…

“Really, I, Envelope, will endure it!”

Brother Shadow put down the knife and melted into the darkness.

But Envelope knew it had returned to the master’s side and would appear again as a shadowy figure.

“Spit, what a piece of junk. If the master hadn’t favored you and cultivated you into a Demon Spirit, would you be so arrogant?”

“I, Envelope, can’t beat you, but can’t I beat your knockoff?”

“Just wait, I will vent this anger tomorrow.”

The flag had already been planted.

Envelope didn’t know that some flags shouldn’t be set so carelessly.

…

On the bed, Du Wei’s breathing in his deep sleep began to sound steadily.

But in reality, he didn’t need sleep to sustain his energy.

And when he closed his eyes, it was to awaken the lake of his inner consciousness within his mind.

Moist, the dripping of water…

Drip…

Moist droplets fell on the tip of his nose.

That’s when Du Wei felt a bone-chilling coldness.

He opened his eyes to see a vast and tranquil lake.

This was the soul lake he had once constructed in his consciousness.

It was originally used to fight the Evil Spirit Du Wei.

But now, it had become the dwelling place of the Evil Spirit Du Wei.

Standing on the surface of the lake, Du Wei looked down at the bottom.

At the lake’s bottom,

The Evil Spirit Du Wei sank into it, its eyes tightly closed, its complexion pale, and even in its quiescence, the innate chillness was still shockingly evident.

But what was even more terrifying,

Behind the Evil Spirit Du Wei, at the even deeper bottom of the lake, there were hands, rotted and deformed, grasping tightly onto its body.

And there were chains, piercing into its limbs, embedding into its spine, holding it firmly in place.

The soul lake is an expression of one’s inner consciousness.

The number of Demon Gods assimilated by the Evil Spirit Du Wei was simply too many.

So many that it was almost overwhelmed.

It was like a person who has eaten too much and can hardly move.

To awaken naturally would still take a very long time, but Du Wei had already found a way to awaken his other self.

“I can feel that something is trying to create another Evil Spirit Du Wei,” he said with a cold and merciless tone.

With a wave of his hand, a throne rose automatically from the bottom of the lake.

He sat on it, resting his chin on his hand, his eyes deep and eerie, almost unreservedly so.

“Although I haven’t seen you, since you want to replace and become the real me, I will give you the opportunity,” he continued.

“However, you’ve disappointed me a little.”

“Now in New York, what place could be more suspicious than a psychological counseling clinic…”

“I don’t care about your plans, because from the beginning, I have known where you hide, and the reason I haven’t dealt with you is that I need you.”

“You need to grow faster, to be of use to me, otherwise, once the Evil Spirit Du Wei awakens and my power is fully restored, I might change my mind and simply kill you,” he concluded.
