Chapter 613: Is There Really an Extraterrestrial? Two in One
Chapter 613 Is there really a world beyond the sky? (Two in one)
The environment at the junction of the north and the south is very weird, even weird and inexplicable, and even wild animals will try to stay away.
Bang bang bang...
Heavy footsteps walked from far to near, and a huge figure crossed the ridge.
After a while, the corpse elephant emerged from the mountain, and the strong corpse aura emanating from its body made the vegetation appear withered.
Compared with hundreds of years ago, the signs of decay all over the body of the corpse are almost invisible, and there is no sense that the body and soul are about to collapse.
In addition, a thin layer of iron armor grows on the surface of the skin, which not only prevents physical blows, but also prevents Yin Qi from leaking out.
"Listen carefully and stop."
The corpse ghost touched the corpse elephant's head, and the latter immediately stopped and stared blankly at the junction of the north and south.
The Underworld Corpse Vein spent far more energy on the corpse elephant than usual. It completely treated it as a forbidden corpse and used a lot of resources.
Corpse Elephant lived up to expectations. Although he originally had the cultivation level of Tianjue Realm, his strength was actually not at the level of Yangshen Realm.
As the corpse veins apply the treacherous fetus method to the flesh and bones of the corpse elephant, even though the corpse elephant is still unable to use the yin energy flexibly, its physical body is enough to crush the treacherous realm of the sky, and it can be regarded as immortal.
Therefore, the corpse elephant was named "True Ting" by Ren Qing.
"This damn place..."
The corpse ghost couldn't help but murmur to himself. Even though his internal organs were exhausted, he still felt a chill running down his spine.
In the eyes of others, the underworld is already extremely eerie and terrifying, but compared to the border between the north and the south, it still seems dwarfed.
I saw a purple-red sun hanging high in the north, emitting twisted and disordered light, like threads across the sky.
This was the first time for the corpse ghost to see the materialized light with his naked eyes. His eyes couldn't help but sink into the purple light, and he couldn't help but be stunned for several hours.
In the south, there is a normal sun, with double suns hanging in the sky like a pair of eyes.
The earth is also layered. The left side of the corpse is shrouded in purple light. The vegetation inside is extremely lush, and fruits similar to flesh and blood organs grow out and squirm from time to time.
The sun on the right is an ordinary sun, but it is also full of deformed and terrifying monsters.
The two-headed guinea pig, the three-legged toad, the multi-eyed rabbit...
When the deformed beast is in the north, it can survive under the protection of the purple light, but once it goes to the south, it will gradually lose its vitality and die.
As a result, the border between the north and the south is filled with deformed beasts struggling to survive, with skeletons filling the soil and nourishing scavenging insects, making it like a purgatory on earth.
The corpse ghost saw with his own eyes that wild geese flew into the range of the purple light.
Not long after, a palace-like organ grew out of the back of the goose's head, just like the blood vessels and meridians drilling out of the body, and in a moment it turned into a flower stamen.
The corpse ghost has a vague guess. It is said that the South is involved in the moral god, which is why all things continue to reproduce and multiply.
So, for reproduction and reproduction.
The way that creatures use their bodies to give birth to offspring is indeed too inefficient.
puff!!
The palace behind the wild goose's head bloomed like a dandelion, and several baby birds came out of it, waiting for feeding, and fell towards the ground.
In just a few breaths after the baby bird lands on the ground, its wings grow rapidly, and it immediately adapts to how to soar in the sky.
Young birds that have not taken flight are entangled in vegetation branches and become natural nutrients.
The corpse elephant shuddered involuntarily, and the crab-man parasitic on the spine made a strange hissing sound, reminding him of the danger from the purple sun.
"According to the location given by the Immortal Lord, Mrs. Bones should be at the junction of the north and the south."
He carefully confirmed the mission information, then controlled the crab man to squirm, and the tail needle penetrated directly into the spine of the corpse elephant.
The translucent tail of the crab man sucks the corpse like a needle, and gray-black liquid is sucked into the body.
The corpse was pacing slightly uncomfortable.
Immediately afterwards, the body of the corpse elephant shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, but the crab man remained unchanged until the corpse elephant completely disappeared.
Under the influence of the resources of the underworld, the corpse ghosts have reached the level of the heavenly realm.
Finally, Taoist Mu Snake was defeated, and there was no need to worry about trouble in the underworld, although Taoist Mu Snake had no intention of pursuing fame and fortune at all.
The ghoul gathered the Yin Qi in his body and walked quickly towards his destination.
The undead can stay within the range of purple light for a short period of time, but over time, plant seeds will find ways to get into the body and take root and sprout under the influence of purple light.
Plant seeds have no intelligence, but purple light makes everything weird.
The zombie monks from hundreds of years ago took advantage of the weird rules at the junction of the north and the south to hide here unscrupulously.
The corpse ghost searched along the mountain forest and soon found a cave entrance leading to the ground.
Holding the fairy key in and out of the world in his stomach, he leaned over and got into the hole, and suddenly a strong Yin Qi hit his face.
The corpse ghost couldn't help but nodded slightly. Although the Yin Qi was not as good as the third level of the underworld, it was comparable to the second level of the underworld.
In addition, there is also a strange smell mixed with it.
It's a bit like high-salinity seawater, with an extremely fishy smell that even a ghoul with no senses can clearly smell it.
The strange smell emanates from the soil, and it should come from deeper underground. Perhaps the underground river at the junction of the north and the south is connected to the ocean?
The corpse continued to walk downwards, feeling extremely nervous.
The cave is full of all kinds of forks. If you take the wrong path, you may end up straying to the north and eventually get lost in the radiation of purple light.
Fortunately, the ghoul can find the right direction based on the intensity of the yin energy.
After about ten days of traveling, the narrow cave suddenly opened up, and densely packed coffins appeared in front of the corpse.
Coffins are placed in the cave in the form of gathering Yin array.
They also deliberately buried the corpse in the cave to form acquired Yin veins to ensure that Yin energy could always gather here.
The corpse did not rush to open the coffin, but continued to search in the cave.
He found that there were more than a dozen connected caves, and the number of coffins was more than 30,000, most of which exuded the aura of the ghost realm.
"strangeness."
The corpse ghost is still a little confused, because whether it is the information given by Ren Qing or his induction through the Crab Man, the number of undead should be as far as one hundred thousand.
He came to the coffin closer to the hole and inserted his fingernails into the gaps in the cover.
With the force of the corpse ghost, the coffin was successfully opened, revealing a strange-looking zombie, which made him take a breath.
The flesh and blood on the zombie's body has shriveled up to the point where it's almost skin and bones.
However, the head is five times that of a normal person, causing the scalp to appear translucent, and the skull has many irregular bulges on its surface due to the continuous proliferation of bone.
The first reaction of the corpse was as if the body was supplying nutrients to the brain.
But zombies are the same as corpses. Their growth and development have stopped, and they don't need to supplement food and water. They can survive by relying on yin energy.
"What a hell."
The zombie put his palm on the zombie's forehead, and his spiritual thoughts poured into his Niwan Palace.
But the souls in Niwan Palace seemed extremely chaotic, crowded together like a mess, and there was a tendency of collapse at any time.
"No wonder the Immortal Lord would say that the undead at the junction of the north and the south may not be able to provide clues, and I'm afraid they are all about to lose their souls."
The ghoul looked at the zombies and smiled, not suffering any pain before death.
He closed the cover heavily and checked several other coffins. The results were the same, they were all filled with "big-headed corpses".
The corpse ghost selected some coffins and sent them to the world in the stomach to see if the corpse veins could find any useful clues, and then came to the end of the cave.
He dug up without believing in evil. Since it was said that there were 100,000 zombies, there was no way the number was wrong. They might have been buried deeper.
After the corpse ghost was promoted to the Heavenly Deception Realm, his use of the Crab Man improved to a higher level.
With a slight thought in his mind, the crab man formed a cone-shaped drill bit, pressed hard against the hard rock wall, and began to dig.
The gravel and soil were flying, and the fishy smell in the air was even worse.
The ghoul simply closed his mouth and nose, temporarily giving up his sense of smell.
Theoretically speaking, zombies do not actually need the five senses. They do not rely on vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.
However, zombies have very few characteristics that belong to living people. If they actively lose their five senses, they are likely to become more and more like corpses.
This kind of obsession unique to zombie monks is called "death disaster".
The corpse ghost didn't know how long he had been digging. He would occasionally release his sense of smell, and the fishy stench he smelled would become stronger each time.
He thought about bringing some zombie monks from the world in his stomach.
However, the corpse ghost is currently in the state of being a projection of the heaven and earth, and is not afraid of life and death at all. However, the same cannot be said for the zombies who come through the fairy key.
If nothing else, I might have to contact Madam Bones next.
Even though Madam White Bones has not yet become an immortal, her strength is not comparable to that of the ordinary Heavenly Creature Realm.
Kaka...
The sound of the drill bit grinding against the rock became sharper. The corpse took a closer look and found that in front of it was a wall made of white bones.
The walls are made of compressed white bones, with almost no trace of bones visible.
Seeing this, the corpse ghost took out the storage bag and put the bone powder into the mustard space. Buildings built with bone powder will automatically emit Yin energy.
Bones are indeed common in the underworld, but they will never become widespread.
The corpse ghost dug through the bone wall more than ten meters thick before reaching the central space. From the fishy stench that hit his face, he could tell that the source of the strange mud-smelling smell was inside.
He put away the crab man, and the dust and smoke raised by the bone powder gradually dissipated.
The corpse's pupils were dilated and he stood there with an incredible expression. The fear in his eyes made him tremble uncontrollably.
"damn it……"
At this time, the crab man opened his mouth and spit out a palm-sized fish from his stomach.
The swimming fish swung its tail, and while its bones grew, its flesh and blood swelled, its scales also faded away in an instant, and finally it transformed into a human form.
Ren Qing stretched out his arms. His skin was the unique black-gray color of zombies. At the same time, his fangs protruded and his muscles looked extremely refined.
Half of the skeleton is exposed to the skin, like wearing an armor.
After being promoted to the Earthly Immortal Queen during the Heavenly Demon Tribulation, you can choose the Immortal Body when your soul comes, allowing the clone to temporarily inherit 100% of the power of a spell.
Ren Qing's attempt to seize the body this time was to choose the immortal position of "Fengdu Corpse Emperor".
The corpse ghost took a few steps back and almost fell to his knees under the pressure of Ren Qing. It was not until the yin energy of the corpse ghost subdued that he felt better.
"Ghoul, if you want to return to the world in the stomach, get out immediately."
Ren Qing was four meters tall and was only half a hand away from the cave roof, so he deliberately shortened his body by half a meter and walked towards the darkness.
The corpse ghost quickly followed Ren Qing, and at the same time released corpse turtles to guard the entrance and exit.
Ren Qing illuminated the dim space, and what came into view were glass jars containing living brains.
The number of brains should be around 100,000, and the size is even larger than the zombie head in the coffin. The whole body is gray-black, and Yin energy is constantly pouring into the jar to nourish the brains.
Ren Qing touched his nose in discomfort, the smell of the ground was indeed unpleasant.
It may have something to do with the quality of the water in which the brain was soaked. It was likely that high-concentration salt water was added to ensure that the brain would not rot.
The materials that Ren Qing can distinguish are at least "corpse powder" which helps absorb yin energy, and "sandalwood incense" which stabilizes the spirit.
The liquid in the tank is still crystal clear, indicating that the refining steps are cumbersome and all materials are fully integrated.
"they……"
The corpse ghost hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but interjected: "Immortal Lord, are they still alive?"
"kindness."
Ren Qing tapped the glass jar lightly with his fingers, and the brain inside obviously reacted instinctively, and the tiny nerves shrank one after another.
"They're still thinking."
Ren Qing's words made no waves, and at the same time, he used the toe separation technique to sense that there was no existence of three souls and seven souls in his brain, it was just an empty shell.
After hearing this, the corpse ghost couldn't help but fall into a state of confusion.
It is not difficult to keep a corpse alive, but the zombie's organs have no normal functions and are just a puddle of dead flesh. However, the brain in the tank is still in a state of neither life nor death.
"Why bother……"
Ren Qing did not answer the corpse ghost's question, but carefully used the soul to get into his brain, and at the same time checked it with the help of the information flow.
【Corpse Brain】
[Taken out from the zombie's body, it can hold a large amount of Yin energy.]
The content of the information stream was unremarkable, but Ren Qing knew what was definitely hidden.
The fungus soul attached to the corpse's brain, and found that because the soul no longer existed, the memory had long been lost, and it was just running in an inexplicable way.
"Dreaming?"
Although Ren Qing's toe separation technique did not notice the dream, the activity trajectory of the corpse brain was indeed very similar to that of a mortal's dream.
Ren Qing's body used the magic of heaven and earth, and suddenly there was a figure next to the corpse ghost.
After a moment, two suspended heads appeared in front of the corpse ghost, and the aura of perfect Yang Shen realm flashed past.
The corpse ghost quickly recognized the person as "Head in a Jar", the elder of the Jailer Hall.
The head in the jar no longer needs to be hidden in the jar. The head with white hair and beard is floating brightly in the air, and the reflected shadow is slightly different. It is the little man in the jar.
The current state of the two is not considered a fusion, but actually a parasitic relationship.
The brain in the jar was unable to deal with the villain in the jar, so it had been stuck in the Yin Chao realm, and eventually faced the depletion of life span.
Just when he died, the little talent in the bottle took the initiative to parasitize in the shadow, allowing the head in the bottle to successfully advance to the Yang Shen realm.
After the head in a jar solved the shortcomings of the technique, his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.
There is hope for him to break through the realm of heavenly deception, but the premise is that the villain in the bottle will not rebel. Both will be prosperous, and both will suffer.
"Hey Hey……"
When the little man in the bottle saw the brains in the glass jar, he laughed excitedly and grabbed part of his body towards the jar.
"Ahem."
As soon as Ren Qing coughed, the little man in the bottle immediately became honest and shrank back into the shadow.
The brain in the jar was about to say something, but was attracted by the bottle of corpse brain, and couldn't help but get closer to it and take a closer look.
"Little man in a bottle, help me see if there are any differences in these brains."
The head in the jar called out several times, but the little man in the jar didn't dare to come out at all and huddled motionless in the shadow.
Ren Qing smiled helplessly, turned to the corpse and said, "Let's go see Madam Bones. I don't know what's going on."
"Ah? Madam Bones is here?"
Ren Qing came to the bone wall on the other side and gently stroked it with his hand. The entire wall suddenly disappeared, revealing a deep passage.
The walls of the passage are all marked by claws, which were obviously dug by Madam White Bones, so the workmanship is relatively rough.
After Ren Qing and the others left, the shadow of the head in the bottle emerged.
The little man in the bottle skips over the corpse brains, then separates parts of his body, classifying the corpse brains in detail.
It can be said that Ren Qing's understanding of the brain is not as familiar as that of the villain in the bottle.
After all, the food for the little man in the bottle is the evil thoughts that the human brain inadvertently generates. Back then, there was a prisoner in a prison, and the torture he endured every day was acting on his brain.
Ren Qing followed the passage for ten miles, and at the end was a hastily excavated cave.
What came into view were hundreds of meat balls hanging upside down, with endless wailing sounds, and in the center was the Bone Lady sitting cross-legged.
The appearance of the Bone Lady is very strange. Under the skin and flesh attached to the skeleton, you can see that it is completely filled with thick fat.
"I want to become an immortal...I want to become an immortal..."
Mrs. Bones muttered to herself unconsciously, reached out to grab the meat ball and stuffed it into her mouth.
During the process of digesting the meat mass, the fat layer on her body was still accumulating, causing milky white oil to leak out from the surface of her skin.
"What's this?"
The corpse pointed at the mass of flesh, barely able to notice its deformed facial features and distorted internal organs and bones, but its brain was still intact.
"people."
Ren Qing shouldn't be too familiar with meat balls. After a long period of reproduction, the mortals in Peach Blossom Spring will show this terrifying appearance.
The North-South border is actually not far from the Peach Blossom Spring. If the undead want to go there, they can still do it given their physical condition.
Ren Qing doesn't have many eyes in Peach Blossom Spring. Even if he can come to the statue at any time, it doesn't mean he can keep an eye on Peach Blossom Spring all the time.
He looked at Madam White Bones and found that the Immortal Seat of the Giant Ghost King had been transferred to his brain, and his body was on the verge of collapse.
Ren Qing suddenly seemed to realize something and said to the corpse: "You stay here and watch Madam Bones. I'll be back soon."
"As you command, Immortal Lord."
Immediately, Ren Qing's clone walked into the doorway to the world in his stomach.
The corpse ghost agreed very quickly, but facing the Bone Lady alone, he was still a little bit weak, especially since the situation was a bit strange and inexplicable.
He leaned against the rock wall, and from time to time in the passage came the weird smile of the villain in the bottle, and the murmur of the Bone Lady, "I want to become an immortal."
The corpse ghost thought Ren Qing would be able to return soon, but he didn't expect to have to wait for several months.
If it weren't for the constant noises made by the little man in the bottle, his mood would definitely be affected. Fortunately, Ren Qingshanshan arrived late six months later.
When Ren Qing returned to the cave, he held in his hand a severely alienated citizen of Sishan.
The legs of the townspeople have been replaced by tentacles, the pitted skin is full of grooves, and the exposed spine is more than ten meters long.
During this period, Madam White Bones had devoured half of the meatballs in the hole, and the skin was stretched open by the new fat, making the whole thing look like a ball.
Ren Qing took off a meat ball and threw it to the corpse.
The corpse ghost hurriedly caught it and followed Ren Qing to the hole where the corpse brain was stored. The head in the jar seemed to be waiting for a lot of things.
One hundred thousand corpse brains were divided into two categories and placed neatly on the ground.
After the head in the jar noticed Ren Qing, he quickly asked: "Ren Qing, where did these brains come from, and where are the souls inside them?"
The corpse ghost interjected in shock: "What soul?"
The head in the jar explained patiently: "Their souls probably still exist because of the activity of the soul, which affects the brain in disguised form."
"Look, 20,000 brains are no longer active, which means the soul is damaged."
"These days, the brain is either weak or excited. In fact, there are rules to follow. If I guess correctly..."
The brain in the jar hesitated to speak, perhaps feeling that his guess was unreliable.
"Senior, please tell me."
Ren Qing's expression was extremely calm, and he had obviously expected it.
The head in the jar said hesitantly: "It's a bit like the ladder to ascend to the Immortal Realm of Yangshen. When facing the way of heaven, the monk's soul will disappear inexplicably, but the body is still sensitive."
"The way of heaven!"
The corpse ghost did not practice the prison method, and had never experienced climbing the immortal ladder. Now he suddenly realized that the situation was indeed very similar.
The two looked at Ren Qing, who nodded in approval.
"Wouldn't you know if you try it?"
Ren Qing signaled the corpse to put down the two severely alienated people, and then took out a bottle of fishy-smelling liquid.
The head in the jar admired: "Ren Qing, you actually recreated it?"
"In addition to keeping the organs alive, the liquid storing the brains can also intensify the alienation. Let's see what will happen in the end."
Ren Qing soaked the two of them in water. To the extent that they were alienated, they had lost their intelligence and could be regarded as strange creatures.
Because of the magic circle, the townspeople of Sishan can maintain their brains even if their bodies and souls are alienated.
Due to the purple light emitted by the Mother of All Things, the mortals in Peach Blossom Spring have no change in their brains no matter how deformed their bodies are due to reproduction.
Ren Qing suspected that all the six gathering places in this world should be similar to each other.
Under the stimulation of alienation, mortals show different directions of alienation. In Taohuayuan, the fat layer is thickened, and in Simen Town, the spine is lengthened.
Ren Qing and others stared at it without blinking, and the people of Taohuayuan were the first to change.
When the fat breaks the skin, the fat does not spill out as usual, but gradually dissipates in the form of smoke.
The souls of the people in Peach Blossom Spring disappeared immediately, and they were exactly the same as when they climbed the ladder to immortality.
The smoke and dust had no roots and no origin. Ren Qing found no clues. It seemed to be connected to another world.
In the end, only one complete brain was left.
Without the protection of liquid, the brain shrank immediately, and the traces left by the people of Peach Blossom Spring in this world completely disappeared.
In just half a day, the spine of the people in Simen Town was more than twenty meters long. The end of the spine was shrouded in fog. The flesh and bones climbed up along the spine into the fog, and soon a brain was left behind.
"Probably not facing the way of heaven..."
Ren Qingyou paid attention to the monks in the Prison Hall being promoted to the Immortal Ladder. The space where the Three Dao Ancestors were kept remained the same, except for the head of the Moral Heavenly Lord.
However, the "world" that the body and soul go to is most likely also created by the Three Dao Ancestors, otherwise how could it be done by climbing the ladder to immortality.
The undead at the junction of the north and the south may have discovered the pattern hundreds of years ago. They ascended with the help of the people from Peach Blossom Spring, but they were afraid of death and life, so they specially preserved their brains.
The zombies in the coffin should be the test subjects for ascension.
