Chapter 282 Half-immortal’s past, horrific consequences

"I took the resources given by Zhao Shensong and quietly came to this valley. I stayed in meditation for seven days. I didn't find any opportunity for a breakthrough, but I accidentally discovered a secret of this world."

Wen Feng wanted to throw out a bait to make the cunning boy rely on him to save his life.

"Have you discovered the use of gray-white aura?"

"What, how do you know?" The old weirdo looked at the man in shock.

"Stop talking nonsense, keep talking." Jin Ziming became impatient, forgetting that the other party was once a semi-immortal.

"Oh, it was the native who told you." The resentful spirit was immediately relieved. He sighed and continued:

"The gray-white aura of the small world is of extremely high grade. Ordinary monks would feel extremely uncomfortable if they inhaled it and would not dare to continue.

But I discovered that there is this kind of spiritual energy in big trees. I majored in cultivating the way of wood, so I made some adjustments to the main technique, and then went to a place with the most towering ancient trees to practice in seclusion."

"How exactly is it done?" The mangy man was curious and began to follow the instructions.

"I connected myself with all the big trees, and assimilated my physical body into the spirit tree physique to form a large wood formation.

I am the Formation Eye, and under my control, all the big trees are absorbing the gray-white spiritual energy like crazy. After they inhale it, they will remove some unbearable components and then store them.

The big tree and I have become the same body, so naturally we can use it for my own use." The resentful spirit couldn't help but show a trace of pride on his face.

"Your idea is indeed refreshing." The mangy man praised.

The resentful spirit thought of the past and was fascinated by it. After sighing, he said:

“It is impossible to enter the realm of transcendence without an open mind.

I frantically absorbed the five-day spiritual energy, which naturally caused a lot of noise. Both the good and the evil noticed it and sent people over to check.

Fortunately, I am proficient in formations and set up a very powerful protective formation around the perimeter, so I was able to clean it.

The two gangs were fighting to the death outside the formation, and I was putting all my efforts inside. In the end, I successfully communicated with the world, gained recognition, and was promoted to the transcendent realm.

But because the rules of the small world are incomplete and I rely on special spiritual energy to advance, from now on, I can never leave here, otherwise I will fall to the Mahayana realm and never become a half-immortal again."

"How do you know? You've never been out." Jin Ziming couldn't help but provoke.

"Hey, the way of heaven, the way of heaven, it's really indescribable. At the moment of my breakthrough, I was extremely sensitive to everything.

I sensed in the dark that the strange gray-white aura cannot be used in vain. Once I leave here, God will make me pay the price."

Jin Ziming suddenly felt horrified, and he tentatively asked: "Can you just drain the special spiritual energy out of your body?"

"Hey, if it's expelled, isn't that the same as dissipating the power? How can I fall down the realm because of this? Besides, do you think it is to inhale when you say it is inhaled and to expel it when it is said to be expelled?

Where in the world can there be good things that only have benefits and no price? If you get a bargain, there must be something to pay for it.

I soon discovered that the damn spiritual energy had been integrated into the Dantian and meridians, and it was impossible to get rid of it."

The reckless man was completely frightened and still refused to give up, so he suggested: "Then don't smoke anymore, just keep consuming it. The energy will eventually be used up, right?"

"Why haven't I thought about this trick? But once it is reduced to 30% of the body's maximum capacity, I can no longer continue.

I fully understood that I would never be able to get rid of it in this life, and later I figured out that I would just be a local bully here."

When Jin Ziming heard this, he was not afraid of a bolt from the blue.

He had no intention of listening anymore. The amount of gray-white spiritual energy he had absorbed from the skeletons and the treasure medicine was not a lot, but it was definitely a lot. Thinking about it made his scalp numb.

He quickly looked inside to check the aura stored in his auxiliary veins.

Immediately, it suddenly changed color, and those strange gases had already seeped out unknowingly and penetrated into the middle and lower dantian, as well as all the meridians.

This scale is less than 10% of the maximum storage capacity, so it cannot be consumed naturally. When fighting skeletons or human cultivators, it is also spontaneously active and is recognized by the world.

Jin Ziming felt aggrieved because he was "greedy" and fell into the trap for such a trivial benefit.

This kind of spiritual energy is like the black poisonous energy in my uncle's body. It is everywhere. Although it is not so obviously poisonous, it is invisibly integrated with the body and is more closely integrated.

As for the side effects after leaving the small world, it is impossible to speculate at this time.

The reckless man could only comfort himself. The amount he inhaled was very small, unlike Wen Feng who almost completely replaced it with gray-white spiritual energy when he was promoted.

He forced himself to suppress the uneasiness in his heart and returned his attention to the conversation, only to listen to the resentful spirit continue to preach:

"I returned to the headquarters of Zhengdao and naturally took over the position of commander. The third war soon came.

Even though the overall strength was low, thanks to my unique skills, I was able to kill some Mahayana realm Dzogchen and late-stage demonic cultivators.

Both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the righteous path won a tragic victory. The strength gap between us and the Demon Sect finally narrowed a bit. Next, the two sides agreed on a time and place to prepare for the final decisive battle.

The leader of the demonic path is named Danyin. This fool thought that I didn't know what his plan was. It was just that he brought a few powerful true kings to entangle me and let others kill the righteous monks.

What he doesn’t know is that this is also my chance to annihilate the bandit leader. In the last battle, I deliberately hid 30% of my strength, making him think that the half-immortal who was promoted in the small world has limited strength."

"Then your senior brother and the others will be in dire straits." The man finally regained his mood and began to participate in the discussion.

"Haha, what does the life and death of that bastard and his idiots have to do with me? If I hadn't been dragged down by them, I would have been a powerful semi-immortal in the magic light world.

Now they are reduced to this situation, they don't even dare to leave the small world, they deserve to die.

In that battle, because I brought four guardians to fight with me, I was suppressed and deliberately forced to leave the battlefield.

But because he was overjoyed, he chased me farther and farther. It was better this way, and saved Zhao Shensong from having to ask me for help before he died.

We started a decisive battle on a cliff far away. I pretended to be invincible and used a unique skill at the critical moment. I withstood the joint attack of the four guardians, but cut off Danyin's head.

This is his true self. I don’t know if he has a clone, but at least in the small world, he is completely dead.

But what I didn't expect was that the old man actually practiced the Demonic Art of Wrong Soul, and before his death, he turned all his soul power into soul poison, invaded my brain, and began to poison my soul.

I didn't have time to deal with the injury, so I had to suppress it forcefully.

When the four guardians saw that Dan was about to die, they fled in all directions. How did they know that I had chosen this cliff, and the trap had been hidden for a long time.

They fled in four directions, unable to escape, but I happened to defeat them one by one. When I killed the last one, Danyin's soul poison finally took effect.

I didn't even have time to search for the loot, and I was about to die from the poison. I hurriedly hid in a hidden valley nearby, set up a large array with array disks, and began to exorcise the poison and heal my injuries.

The battle outside lasted for more than three days, and it was so dark that those idiots even interrupted the passage back to the Demonic Light Realm."

"Could it be that before a certain true king died, he didn't want his opponent to return to the mainland, so he did it deliberately?"

Wen Feng pondered slightly, and then said:

"Well, that's a possibility, but it just so happens that I can't go back anyway. My good senior brother was tortured and killed by the demon bastards, and he finally took a breath of bad breath for me.

I thought that with my ability, detoxification would not be a trivial matter. But later I found out that because I continued to fight after being poisoned, I missed the best time for treatment.

The toxins not only eroded my soul and body, but even merged with the gray-white aura.

The detoxification was completely in vain, and I could only linger on for a while. After the medicine on my body was used up, I would go out to search for treasures or plunder survivors.

But these are all of a drop in the bucket, in this damn small world, there is still no panacea that can cure soul poison."

"You can go find the storage rings of Danyin and the four guardians. There should be a lot of good things in them." Jin Ziming asked deliberately.

"Of course I want to go, but due to the soul poison, my realm has dropped to the middle stage of Mahayana. If I encounter a high-level demon cultivator, it will be a dead end.

When I avoided the limelight and went there again, their bodies had been taken away and the mountain was sealed."

"Then how do you persist until now?"

"I lived for thirty-seven years, and finally survived the day when I died of poison. Before I died, I designed a road to resurrection for myself.

Since Danyin used the wronged soul demon technique to harm me, I turned his resentment and soul poison, as well as most of my remaining soul power, into an 'egg'.

I drew runes on its surface and used the rune array to lock the soul so that it would not dissipate for thousands of years. Then, I filled the 'egg' with the ghost wood that can nourish resentment or souls.

I came to the most tragic battlefield, where many grievances and resentments floated, which could be absorbed by the Haunted Soul Wood and used as nutrients for the 'eggs'.

I found dozens of large trees that could best absorb the gray-white spiritual energy, and transplanted them so that my bones could be nourished by the spiritual energy.

Finally, I hugged the ghost tree and crawled to the root of a big tree to sit down."

"It's amazing, you can come up with such a wonderful method." Jin Ziming sighed.

"Oh, what's so wonderful? After thousands of years, my body has not been resurrected, and my soul has been almost completely annihilated.

Only Resentment wakes up with a hint of the main soul. In fact, he is a resentful spirit without a body.

But the hateful thing is that Danyin's trace of soul poison actually survived with the help of my soul.

What makes me even more irritated is that in this weird little world, those minor cultivators below the level of integration actually resurrected in the form of skeletons, and some even began to regenerate their spiritual intelligence.

I pondered for a long time and understood that the energy and rules here could only resurrect the combined stage and the fifth level spirit at most. My half-immortal body, as well as those true kings, had completely lost their chance.

When my resentful spirit was born, it was only at the early stage of the third level. While resisting the soul poison, I cultivated at the same time, and finally reached the middle stage of the fifth level.

Hundreds of years ago, I met a young man from the Demonic Light Realm with a pure wooden physique who suited me very well, so I took away his body."
