I Have Medicine-Chapter 496 - Asura Incarnation

Maybe he didn’t notice it at first because of his dear big brother’s strange behavior, but after coming back, Gu Zuo wanted to check on big brother’s health. As a result, it was only natural that he habitually grasped the other’s wrist while big brother kept tugging and pulling him. After that…he felt that something was wrong.

His big brother didn’t have a pulse!

If he was in the middle of training or there were special circumstances, it would be normal to control it, but his big brother was clearly not in that state right now. This was an abnormality.

After that, Gu Zuo impatiently dove into the psychic power examination. Following this, he discovered that his big brother wasn’t only without a pulse. In fact, his body didn’t have any blood vessels, bones, and internal organs at all!

As such, a question came up. In the end, what the hell was going on with this big brother who had nothing inside?

Moreover, what was even stranger was that the other’s body was empty, but where was this urge to take him to bed coming from?

The black-robed man — Or rather, this guy, whom Gu Zuo didn’t know for sure was Gongyi Tianheng, retracted his hand.

After that, his tone became faint, carrying an indescribable strangeness and peculiar allure: “As it turns out… Ah Zuo already found out.”

Gu Zuo silently looked at him: “Big brother, your temperament is a little…” His voice was conflicted, “Actually, I still don’t understand it too well. After big brother returned, why didn’t you directly come back? Instead, you went with the Jin Family’s second young master and called me over.”

At this time, the man in black robes revealed a smiling expression. Blood seemed to flow across the decorative patterns on his face. His entire body appeared to be suffused with an enrapturing charm: “Then, Ah Zuo, why don’t you take a guess?”

Gu Zuo hesitated: “Big brother, your injuries… Are they very serious?” He slowly said, “As a result, right now, your…” brain is a little wonky?

The black-robed man’s figure faintly moved, and the wrist held in Gu Zuo’s hand was nowhere to be seen.

After that, familiar qi emissions appeared behind Gu Zuo, and a pair of arms encircled him. With a wet sensation, his earlobe was taken into a mouth and tenderly suckled. The low and soft voice carried an even more ambiguous meaning: “…Ah Zuo, guess again?”

It had to be said that, compared to that anxious and agitated display a while ago, the level of the current performance had increased greatly. In addition, many responses had been somewhat stiff and stilted, but all of a sudden, the charm index had risen dramatically. This made Gu Zuo, who had missed his family’s big brother very much, feel a heavy pressure in his heart.

If this continued, how was he supposed to figure out the situation?

Gu Zuo wore a wooden expression: “I won’t guess. Big brother, are you going to tell me or not?”

Finally, the man in black robes gave a low chuckle: “Alright. I’ll tell Ah Zuo.”

While speaking, his figure appeared in front of Gu Zuo once more, gathering him up in an embrace.

Gu Zuo didn’t have enough time to react, and only saw a flash of bloody light. He reappeared inside their bedroom, and at some point, his big brother was already sitting on the bed. As for himself, he was sitting on his big brother’s…lap.

This kind of position was too dangerous.

But at this moment, the black-robed man calmed down after locking Gu Zuo securely in his arms. At the same time, a gentle voice entered Gu Zuo’s ears: “Ah Zuo, don’t get angry. This is my main body’s avatar. Created from the qi ocean of the path of the asura, it’s called an asura incarnation.”

Gu Zuo was startled. He was immediately drawn to the implication of those words: “Then, what about big brother’s main body? Also, those problems just a while ago—”

The asura incarnation lightly sighed: “This incarnation came about with my remaining power. It was difficult for my consciousness to keep up at first, so it was naturally somewhat stiff. However, now that I’ve seen Ah Zuo and gotten intimate a few times, I’ve already returned to normal.”

As he spoke, a warm breath blew against Gu Zuo’s ear: “It’s just that…my nature will be inevitably affected by the incarnation, so it’s probably a little different from usual.”

Gu Zuo took a deep breath.

He never expected that his family’s big brother would be like this…

After that, he asked again: “Big brother, your main body…”

At last, the asura incarnation slowly said: “Right now, my main body is still in the void.”

Perhaps, he knew that Gu Zuo would keep hounding him to get to the bottom of things, so at this time, he no longer tried to divert Gu Zuo’s attention. Rather, he told him everything in detail.

At that time, Tianheng was forced into the void by Yang Hu. Right away, he was assailed by countless, turbulent flows in the void. Although he was brandishing the cloak, because the turbulence was too fierce during his initial entry, the cloak had been knocked back, leaving Tianheng to fend for himself. Yet, during that brief period, the cloak was able to obstruct the most harrowing portion for Tianheng. As for himself, he had undergone the tempering of the power of chaos. As a result, compared to ordinary Atomic Realm martial artists who would’ve been immediately torn to shreds, his vitality was far stronger.

By continuously using his skills to resist and constantly unleashing his strength, Tianheng lasted for a long time. However, his flesh was still shaved away bit by bit. At the final juncture, the fragments of the power of chaos within his qi oceans suddenly erupted with great force to protect his bones, traces of flesh, as well as his qi oceans.

Originally, if things proceeded like this, Tianheng’s only end would’ve been a pile of shredded gore once the fragments of the power of chaos were completely used up. But fortunately, Tianheng had unknowingly floated to a special area in the void. In that place, not only was there no void turbulence, there was also an extremely huge beast corpse. It was a True Spirit Ancestor Race corpse from the ancient and fierce races.

Unexpectedly, the remnant power within the corpse was similar to the energy that Tianheng’s qi oceans needed to absorb. As a result, a sparse connection was established between one man and one corpse. With the assistance of the primal chaos fragments, that power was continuously absorbed. Not only did this preserve Tianheng’s breath of life, it also allowed his consciousness to slowly awaken.

After awakening, Tianheng discovered that his body already turned into a skeleton, so he immediately operated that body sculpting technique he had just obtained. It was just that this body sculpting technique required a lot of energy to make one’s flesh grow. With no other alternative, he took out large quantities of profound crystals inside his spatial bangle, and suspended the crystals around himself. The moment these crystals were crushed, he spared no effort to absorb them.

This was similarly a stroke of good fortune. If this bangle wasn’t obtained from the Tomb of the Human King, perhaps it would’ve been corroded by the void turbulence. However, this also wasn’t sustainable. The longer one stayed in the void, the more serious the corrosion would be. In the end, perhaps nothing would remain inside the bangle… It was just as well to use everything here.

But despite this, the restoration of his flesh was still very slow. It wasn’t known how long it would take to completely grow back.

Tianheng didn’t know how much time had passed since he lost consciousness. He was anxious that it had been too long, which would’ve caused Ah Zuo and his master to worry and allowed for changes to occur. Thus, he first used his power to completely separate the incarnation that had already evolved from his qi ocean.

In fact, the incarnation had been conceived in those few qi oceans with special powers back when Tianheng was at the Immortal Realm. Starting from the Immortal Realm, one incarnation would be born within the qi oceans with every realm advancement. When the powers within the qi oceans were strong enough, the incarnations could be released. They would possess the same level of combat power as himself, and would fight for the main body.

The consciousness of the incarnation and the main body were connected. When the distance was close, there were no problems. However, if the distance was far, some amount of acclimation was needed.

The same was true for the asura incarnation.

Tianheng released this incarnation, and his consciousness followed along. To withstand a portion of the void turbulence, the incarnation was also given the cloak to wear. Merely, after the incarnation relied on another seam to leave the void, Tianheng’s consciousness had been separated by the void. As a result, the connection seemed somewhat intermittent… To put it simply, the response time had slowed.

Gu Zuo was the one whom Tianheng remembered and cared about the most. Thus, the incarnation’s first reaction was Gu Zuo. After coming out, the incarnation immediately headed to Ten Ultimates Sect, wanting to find Gu Zuo.

Along the way, he met Jin Yuan. Due to the incarnation’s slowed responses, the other party thought he was lonely and could be befriended. Under the incarnation’s insistence, Jin Yuan took him to Ten Ultimates City to see Gu Zuo.

To tell the truth, if it wasn’t for Jin Yuan, although the incarnation could’ve smoothly arrived at Ten Ultimates City, he was confused about the route to Ten Ultimates Sect. It could’ve taken even longer before the memories were sorted out. At that time, the incarnation might’ve done something because of this…

As for why the incarnation acted that way after their meeting, it was because Gu Zuo was the greatest obsession carried by the incarnation. After seeing Gu Zuo, he wanted to fulfill his heart’s desires with direct physical contact.

To speak frankly, this was longing and instincts at work. When a person had a brain, these urges could be controlled. But when one’s brain didn’t respond fast enough, then the body would take the lead.

Fortunately, he saw Gu Zuo and went back to the sect. The familiar people and environment made the incarnation’s consciousness much clearer. The strings of memory in his head were straightened out, and his self-control returned.

The subsequent teasing was purely the result of the asura incarnation’s nature.

Likewise, the same Gongyi Tianheng would be affected by the different incarnations, and the natures that were displayed would also be different… For example, if Tianheng’s main body carried his consciousness, he would definitely be gentle and self-disciplined. If it was the asura incarnation, then he would act flirtatiously.

Once he finished listening to these things, Gu Zuo finally understood. After loosening a sigh, his eyes were filled with worry: “Big brother, your main body is in the void. There won’t be any accidents, right?”

Although he said it was safe, and that he also encountered an opportunity, that was still the void! Who knew what would happen the next moment?

The asura incarnation revealed a shining smile, and softly licked Gu Zuo’s neck. His voice was charming and gentle: “Don’t worry, Ah Zuo.”
