Chapter 496 The Degenerating Forbidden Zone of Immortality
Wuwei City is like a giant crab, running rampant in the sea of clouds. When its limbs are raised and dropped, the spores will be scattered.
Many monks can be seen patrolling at the top of the city wall, mainly to prevent the immortal species from attacking.
However, what was beyond the expectations of the Prison Guards Hall was that since the drastic changes in the Immortality Forbidden Zone, there was no trace of the Immortality Seed anymore, and it seemed extremely dead.
Although every time the Immortals attack the city, there will be an interval of several decades, but at least on weekdays, scattered Immortals can be seen wandering outside the city.
We have been traveling through Wuwei City for more than half a year, and all we can see when we look up is the vast sea of clouds.
Under such circumstances, it did not cause chaos in the jailer's hall. After all, Tianweijing was in charge, so there was no need to worry about sudden changes in the restricted area.
Ren Qing also seemed to come and go without a trace. After stabilizing the newly promoted Shadowless Ghost, he disappeared without a trace. He could only be seen occasionally near the temple in Cishi District.
The Jailer Hall gradually began to digest the resources obtained from the animal pens and rationally distributed them to various branches. Naturally, there were many open and covert struggles among them.
But no matter what, this is a world where the strong are respected. As long as Ren Qing is in charge, there will be no civil strife that affects the foundation.
As it gets closer to the source of the hurricane, Wuwei City's pace becomes heavier and heavier.
boom……
Wuweicheng's limbs fell, and the face revealed on the wall was a little distorted.
Except for the inside of the city, which is protected by a barrier, the outside of the city is almost covered with fungi. Even though the fungi are only the size of a palm, the accumulated weight becomes heavier and heavier.
Although fungi are not fatal, they can bring unparalleled suffering to Wuwei City.
It was forced to endure it due to Ren Qing's invisible intimidation, but in the end it couldn't hold it any longer.
Wuwei City simply stopped where it was. No matter how much the Jailer Hall nourished it with flesh and blood, it stopped moving. It was really self-defeating.
Li Tiangang felt a little helpless and quickly sent monks to the outside world to clean up the fungi, otherwise the fungi would probably bury Wuwei City.
Fungi are like barnacles on a whale. It is difficult to remove them by yourself, and there is not even a rock in the sea of clouds to withstand the impact.
When he first refined Wuwei City, Ren Qing had no intention of developing it into a war machine, so Wuwei City had no magic means at all.
After all, it involves the Six Disease Method, so Li Tiangang naturally needs to inform Ren Qing, but the news turns out to be nothing more than a muddy cow.
Ren Qing was probably busy dealing with Song Zongwu's affairs, so he didn't want to be disturbed, so he directed all the branches to go outside the city.
Currently, only Li Tiangang in the Prison Hall can issue orders to each branch.
The rest of the Yangshen realm are either not convincing, or they are like Li Yaoyang, who indulges in refining Gu insects all day long and barely cares about worldly affairs.
Song Zong was not qualified, but since he regained some consciousness half a month ago, his body and soul had another accident and he still could not wake up.
Li Tiangang asked Han Li to assist, and finally divided hundreds of monks who mastered fire magic to clean up the fungi attached to Wuwei City.
Wuwei City has only been in the sea of clouds for a year, but the fungus is already two meters thick. It is difficult to remove it with sharp tools, so it can only be burned directly using magic.
The monks are neatly dressed, their bodies are wrapped in robes, and even their mouths and noses are covered with specific magic tools to filter out spores in the air.
The Forbidden Zone of Immortality involves the immortal position, and it is no longer a pure Six Diseases method. It is likely to hide some unspeakable danger. Being cautious has always been the purpose of the Prison Hall.
The monks have different techniques, but they all have organs containing flames on their bodies.
For example, the skin is full of cracks like lava, and hot and sticky blood is flowing between the skin and the flesh.
Flames spurted out and made a sizzling sound when they fell on the wall.
The spores are tiny, but each spore will crackle and explode, connecting into one piece in an instant. If it were not for the fire-resistant robe, it would be inevitable to be injured.
Han Li shook his head. He didn't know whether it was an illusion, but there was a strange sound in his ears.
It seems like someone is singing Boqiang...
A large area of fungi on the west city wall was burned away by the flames, and the spores floated in the opposite direction as if they were intelligent beings, but were immediately overtaken by sparks and soon turned into ashes.
Wuwei City trembled, not because of the burning pain.
After all, as a treacherous device in the Yin difference realm, ordinary fire will not hurt it. It is mainly due to the relief brought by the disappearance of the fungi.
"Old Wang..."
The monk with the blood-red lizard tail frowned and asked, "Have you noticed that the smell is a bit weird?"
"What's weird?"
"It smells like meat..."
The two looked at each other, but they didn't take it to heart. It was normal for something strange to happen in the restricted area. Just the smell of meat was nothing.
After Han Li heard the monks laughing and talking, he couldn't help but frown tightly.
He wandered around the cracks in the wall, but still couldn't get rid of the weirdness in his heart, so he had to take off a few pieces of blackened fungi and send them to the city.
Li Tiangang didn't know much about the Six Disease Method, so he finally passed it on to Ren Qing.
Ren Qing was currently staying in Cishi Street, his body exuding the fluctuations of dream magic. In front of him was Song Zongwu who was cross-legged and chanting sutras.
Song Zongwu's state is very delicate. The residual soul has regained consciousness relying on the soul brain, but the consciousness seems not to be in the body.
As a result, he was immersed in reciting Buddhist scriptures and neither improved nor worsened.
Ren Qing used the magic of the toe separation technique to sense Song Zongwu's thoughts and try to find the cause of the problem with his consciousness.
He used the most superficial method, just like constant trial and error when creating a spell, and he was completely using the toe separation technique to check the remaining soul over and over again.
But there is no other way. Song Zongwu only has a ray of heavenly soul left, and he simply cannot withstand the fungus soul that turns into a nightmare and descends into the dreamland.
Fortunately, all of Ren Qing's spells have reached the level of Wushengxian, so some of them are a waste of time.
Moreover, Ren Qing has mastered the Toe Separation Technique for a long time, but he is still not very proficient. He just took the opportunity to patiently polish the technique and prepare for the Heavenly Deception Realm.
He would occasionally try to communicate with Da Meng, but unfortunately he was not optimistic either.
Dameng Zhenren's consciousness may have gone to a deeper dream state, so he can only barely feel the other party's existence.
While Ren Qing has been in the outside world for decades, Da Meng may have been in a dream for tens of thousands of years, and I don’t know what kind of crisis he encountered.
He did a hexagram for Master Dameng, and the hexagrams showed that there were bad omens and good omens, and the good omens faintly outweighed the bad omens, showing signs of turning the crisis into safety.
It was difficult for him to pinpoint the specific location of Dameng Zhenren. He could only wait for a hundred years. If the latter got out of trouble, he would definitely come to Xiangxiang.
A chirping sound sounded.
The strange bird beast landed on Ren Qing's shoulder and tried to hand over the object he was holding, but the latter ignored it at all.
It stretched out its beak and wanted to peck Ren Qing. Suddenly it noticed a hint of horror and quickly flew to the window sill to cover its head with its wings.
Ren Qing's consciousness has successfully contacted Song Zongwu's heavenly soul. With the fragile nature of the remaining soul, he cannot be distracted at the critical moment.
After a while, he withdrew the toe separation technique.
There are gains, but not much, and the Inspiration Temple is also involved.
As Ren Qing digested the memory fragments, the scene seemed to be in a magnificent temple, and the perspective came from the Buddha statue on the altar.
He could hear the scriptures recited by the monks, which were exactly the same as those spoken by Song Zongwu.
Ren Qing came back to his senses, took a deep breath and stared at Song Zongwu, then cut off the nerves in his soul brain, causing Song Zongwu to fall into a deep sleep again.
Song Zongwu's consciousness was difficult to wake up. He was definitely not in a dream. He should have been affected by the two souls and seven souls swallowed by the Buddha's energy.
If you want to replenish your soul, it is necessary to go to the Inspiration Temple and kill the so-called Arhat sitting on a deer.
Ren Qing pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache, but he didn't know where the Inspiration Temple was. This Buddhist temple had no fixed location, wandering in the deep mountains and old forests.
It is said that it is to recruit disciples and find fate, but in fact, it is because the strength of the Tianju Realm is not enough, and it does not dare to stay in one place for a long time.
It can be seen that the dangers in this world are indeed beyond the control of ordinary people.
Ren Qing himself experienced nine deaths many times, relying on all his trump cards to save his life, let alone Dameng Zhenren and Song Zong.
The two of them probably didn't know how to survive, and they suffered a serious blow as soon as they left Novice Village.
Dameng Zhenren is looking for the body of Taoist Taoist Taisui, and Song Zongwu is returning to Inspiration Temple, both of which involve the Heavenly Creation Realm...
Ren Qing had no choice but to continue to use Song Zongwu's remnant soul to try to find traces of the Inspiration Temple.
He opened his eyes and took the letter from the birds and beasts. Inside was the ashes of fungi and the cause, and the unique smell of burning corpses hit his mouth and nose.
"kindness?"
Ren Qing's face looked strange. He rubbed the ashes with his fingers and found that they looked like ashes. The content revealed in the information stream was also "bones and remains."
Seeing that the ashes were collected by Han Li, he asked him to get some fresh fungi.
Ren Qing did not check the fungi carefully, because the fungi were too ordinary, and the Immortality Forbidden Zone had only recently completed its transformation, and he was busy stabilizing the Shadowless Ghost.
While performing the toe separation technique, he waited for Han Li's response.
Not long after, Han Li trotted towards Cishi Street, obviously realizing that the vision in the Immortality Forbidden Zone was unusual.
Not long after he entered the temple, he noticed the coffin containing Song Zong's disembodied soul, and subconsciously put some effort into his steps.
Song Zongwu had rescued many disciples of Wuwei Taoist Temple in Jingzhou, and was also kind to Han Li in teaching him. His expression became complicated.
"Senior Ren, look..."
Han Li suppressed his distracting thoughts. If even Ren Qing, who was in the Heavenly Conspiracy Realm, could not do anything, he, the new Yinsha Realm, could only add chaos.
Ren Qing took the cloth bag handed over by Han Li. The surface was engraved with moon patterns to prevent the spores produced by the fungi from scattering.
"The disciple was delayed because of something, and I also found a strange corpse, all packed in a storage bag."
After Han Li finished speaking, he did not disturb Ren Qing, turned around and exited the temple, choosing to wait outside the door so that he could be called back in at any time.
Ren Qing glanced at the body in the storage bag and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
The corpse looked like a skinned embryo of a bird or beast, but its feathers were rustling, its face was distorted, and its limbs had degenerated to varying degrees.
He checked the body and confirmed that it was an immortal species.
After questioning Han Li, he learned that the body was originally located in a deep pit at the foot of Wuwei City, and it seemed that he died not long after he emerged from the ground.
Ren Qing suddenly noticed a blind spot.
When I first came to the Immortality Forbidden Zone, the Immortality Seeds were creatures formed from strange objects. Later, the Immortality Seeds with intelligence became increasingly rare.
Thirty years ago, when the Immortals attacked the city, there were still a few Yinsha realm beings mixed in, but by the last time, they turned into monsters without any intelligence.
“…”
Ren Qing thought of the statue of Fu, Lu and Shou he had seen before, which showed that even in the early days, the immortal species had power far beyond that of humans.
It is difficult to say whether Chen Changsheng was involved in the disappearance of his power.
