Sure, here’s the translation:

The two powerful Demon Beasts continued fighting using their special abilities, and the battle’s aftermath was disastrous for the surrounding forest. Even from far away, people could sense the commotion, yet no one realized that not far from the two Demon Beasts were two human figures waiting for the opportunity to reap the benefits!

"Seriously, just these two little creatures and I, an old man, have to wait? Boy, when are you going to upgrade the realm of your External Incarnation? Otherwise, my power is far too restricted!"

Ye Luo watched the battle between the two Demon Beasts with great interest, but for Ao Long, it was nothing but boredom!

This made sense though; to Ao Long, such Demon Beasts were indeed beneath his notice!

Upon hearing Ao Long’s words, Ye Luo was momentarily confused before he asked, "The External Incarnation can be upgraded in realm?"

Ao Long looked at Ye Luo in surprise and then slapped his forehead: "Oh dear, my memory is failing. The External Incarnation isn’t something you can engage with at your current strength. I was being presumptuous, my mistake, my mistake.

Well, since we have time now, let me tell you about the External Incarnation!"

Ye Luo nodded; although he was genuinely interested in watching the Demon Beasts’ battle, it didn’t prevent him from listening to Ao Long’s explanation.

"The External Incarnation is a special cultivation method. Not everyone can cultivate it, but most people will choose to cultivate an External Incarnation after reaching a certain realm. This is mainly because of the weaknesses in Human Race and certain other races’ physical bodies, whereas for our Dragon Clan, it’s unnecessary!

Simply put, the External Incarnation is essentially your second body. However, truthfully, without embedding a soul, it’s practically useless, and cultivating it requires an enormous amount of resources. Cultivating the External Incarnation can’t rely on a Cultivation Technique alone, but must be nurtured with Elixirs.

You know that once someone reaches a certain level of strength, like me, even if they die in battle, the soul can be preserved and rebirth through the method of Body Snatching. However, the body taken through Body Snatching can never achieve perfect compatibility. Therefore, the External Incarnation acts as a prepared backup host for Body Snatching.

Because if your main body is defeated, you can use the External Incarnation for resurrection!

Of course, some timid individuals might even cultivate a second or third External Incarnation, afraid that they might suddenly die!

But I advise you, young boy, not to do that. The occurrence of your External Incarnation was accidental, but since it exists, there’s no need to waste it. However, there’s no necessity to cultivate a second External Incarnation. After all, cultivating an External Incarnation will consume an unimaginable amount of resources!

Take your External Incarnation as an example; if its realm is divided according to levels, it can only be considered at most at the Cyclone Realm. But if you want to cultivate it to the Spirit Martial Realm, the resources for it would cost you enough to break through twice or even three times in Spirit Martial Realm with your main body!"

Oh my gosh!

Ye Luo was slightly stunned, surprised that the External Incarnation consumed such huge resources!

But thinking about it, it made sense; it’s practically a second life. What do people struggle to cultivate for?

To put it nicely, it’s the pursuit of strength, but to say it bluntly, isn’t it simply the fear of death?

However, without a soul, the External Incarnation can’t autonomously cultivate, and even things like Qi Cyclone can’t be initiated, so naturally, it can only be strengthened by accumulating enormous resources!

And this is just its body; obtaining special Bloodlines would be even more challenging!

Ye Luo nodded, understanding Ao Long’s meaning!

The External Incarnation can indeed be cultivated, but there’s no need to care too much.

Because it consumes too many resources, compared to strengthening the main body, it’s not necessary.

You must understand that once the main body becomes powerful, no one can kill you. In that case, the External Incarnation would only be a decoration!

Besides, if the day comes when you need to use the External Incarnation, even if you have a second life and start anew, you’re not guaranteed to defeat your enemies!

Ao Long wanted to tell Ye Luo not to care too much about the External Incarnation!

"Alright, Ao Long Senior, I understand your meaning, rest assured, I won’t waste resources on the External Incarnation!"

Ye Luo answered confidently.

To his surprise, Ao Long rolled his eyes in response.

"What are you saying, boy? For now, your External Incarnation is lent to me for use. Until I find a suitable host for Body Snatching, I can only reside within your External Incarnation. Do you hope for me to stay with such limited power?

The situation I described was general, but does your situation count as general?

With me inside your External Incarnation, naturally, the cultivation path can be opened. As long as you can provide me with enough resources, I can enhance all aspects of this External Incarnation’s capabilities!

In fact, if you provide enough resources, it’s not impossible for me to enhance your External Incarnation to a strength beyond your main body!"

...

What?

So Ao Long meant this!

All that setup was just to highlight his uniqueness so Ye Luo would give him resources to cultivate!

Ye Luo was amused and helpless; how has Ao Long Senior become shrewder and more calculating? Is Ye Luo such a miser? When has Ye Luo ever shortchanged one of his own?

Especially someone as close as Ao Long Senior, always by his side!

Had it not been for Ao Long’s guidance, Ye Luo might have taken many unnecessary detours!

Now that Ao Long needed it, Ye Luo would undoubtedly help without hesitation, why go through such a long-winded setup?

Besides, this External Incarnation is originally Ye Luo’s own. No matter how strong Ao Long prepares the External Incarnation, it belongs to Ye Luo’s strength! 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Is there a need for Ye Luo to refuse?

Ye Luo’s lips curled slightly and he plucked off a Qiankun Ring, handing it to Ao Long!

This contains almost all of Ye Luo’s resources!

After all, at least for now, Ye Luo seems to have nowhere requiring massive resource consumption; besides, many of those resources are no longer suited for Ye Luo. Giving them to Ao Long is the best choice!

Of course, although Ye Luo’s thinking seems reasonable, he doesn’t know that in fact, Ao Long’s mindset has already changed!
