Chapter 2022 The Secret of the Death Swamp, the Cursed Body
It can make ancestor Xumi sick. It seems that this curse has grown to a very strong level.
This death swamp is indeed not simple.
Xu Zimo asked again: "Tell me, what exactly is in this death swamp?"
"Curse of life and death," Ancestor Xumi narrowed his eyes slightly and said a word that was a bit unfamiliar to Lu Baizhu.
"Curse means life or death?" Xu Zimo replied.
"I don't know if my guess is right or not. In fact, I am also guessing," said Patriarch Xumi.
"It's not just the Dead Swamp.
The entire huge Immortal Island is a cursed place."
As soon as these words came out, even Xu Zimo was a little shocked.
The Immortal Isle is a cursed place.
I have never heard this news from anyone, probably even the people on Immortal Island don’t know about it.
Only when you reach the level of Ancestor Sumeru can you understand a little bit.
"Yes, the entire Immortal Island is cursed.
It's just that a long time ago, the curses here were all curses.
It won't affect anything."
“Until one day later, I don’t know why the curse changed.
The curse of life began to evolve towards the curse of death, so the death swamp appeared."
"Rather than saying that the Death Swamp is encroaching on the Immortal Island bit by bit, it is better to say that this is a transformation of the Immortal Island's self.
There is no such thing as someone trying to cannibalize someone else.”
Ancestor Xumi replied.
"When the Death Swamp covers the entire Immortal Island, the transformation will be completed at that time.
The Immortal Island has completely changed from a curse of life to a curse of death.”
"Is there no way to stop it?" Xu Zimo asked.
"It's not that there's no way out, it's just that we haven't found the source of the curse yet," Ancestor Xumi sighed.
"The depths of this death swamp would make a being like me sick even if he entered it, let alone continue to explore."
"If we can eliminate the source of this curse, Immortal Island can take revenge."
"Otherwise, according to our calculations, as the curse engulfs it faster and faster, the Immortal Island will completely fall in a few hundred years or so."
Xu Zimo nodded.
The information given by Ancestor Xumi is very useful, although it is said that the young girl Mu Yang has lived in the Death Swamp for a long time.
But they are all on the periphery, and their level of understanding is simply not comparable to that of Ancestor Xumi.
"Do you want to go into the Death Swamp?" Ancestor Xumi saw Xu Zimo's thoughts.
"Yes, do you have any suggestions?" Xu Zimo smiled.
"I know you are very strong, but don't be careless. I suggest you need a armor that can resist curses.
It can help you share the pressure of the curse appropriately," said Ancestor Xumi.
"You walk from the southwest and on your way to the Death Swamp, you will pass by an ancient city of death."
"There is a family there, calling themselves the Shenjia Family."
"Their family treasures a God-Emperor armor, which is specially used to resist curses."
"Perhaps I dare not say about the defensive power of this armor in other aspects, but in terms of resisting curses, this armor is definitely the strongest."
"Back then, there was a strong man on our Immortal Island who was honored as the God Emperor.
The God Emperor and the Human Emperor of the Human Emperor Palace, one in the east and one in the west, are known as the two most powerful men on the Immortal Island."
"Later, the Death Swamp appeared, and the God-Emperor once led his followers into the Death Swamp.
Since then, the God-Emperor has never appeared again."
"Back then, a total of two sets of the God Emperor's battle armor were made. They were both made from the best materials by the best weapon refiners in the Tribulation Immortal Realm."
"A set of armor was brought into the Death Swamp by the God Emperor.
The other set was collected by the servants of the God Emperor."
Ancestor Xumi explained.
"This ancestor of the Shenjia family was a servant of the God Emperor back then. He is a very cautious person.
Even if I were to go there, he would not give me this armor.
So you must be prepared."
"Also, that armor is alive. Even if you snatch it away, it will destroy itself.
Instead, you have offended the entire Immortal Island in vain, and the gain outweighs the loss."
Ancestor Xumi knew Xu Zimo's character and was afraid that Xu Zimo would shoot him directly.
In fact, it is not necessary, because neither party is an enemy, and it would be best if they could negotiate.
Ancestor Xumi also said this.
Xu Zimo nodded and said with a smile: "I have always convinced people with reason."
Ancestor Xumi smiled and said nothing.
If you convince people with reason, then there will be no unreasonable people in the world.
But some things are best left unsaid.
"Since Fellow Daoist Xu is here, please stay in our Yin Shen Sect for a few more days.
It just so happens that I have done my best to be a landlord," Patriarch Xumi said with a smile.
"No matter how anxious you are, don't rush for this day."
"Just in time, I still have something to ask you," Xu Zimo said.
"How much do you know about the natives of the Dead Swamp?"
"They're just a bunch of pathetic people," Ancestor Xumi shook his head, as if he knew this very well.
"They were originally a group of ordinary people, but later they were invaded by the power of the curse.
Some people couldn't bear the curse and eventually died.
There are also some people whose bodies have mutated and become cursed bodies.
They are both lucky and poor people."
Xu Zimo nodded slightly, he seemed to know what was going on with Mu Yang's mother.
Then he told Mu Yang’s situation, and also mentioned Mu Yang’s mother’s guess: “Although the cursed body can protect them from the power of the curse.
But as they get older and older, all aspects of their body's functions decline to a certain extent.
You will inevitably be swallowed by the curse in the end, right?"
"I have not considered this situation, but according to what you said, it is most likely like this," said Ancestor Xumi.
"Can your Yin Shen Sect's sacred grass treat that situation?" Xu Zimo asked.
"It's possible to extend one's life, but it's impossible to eradicate it," Ancestor Xumi shook his head.
"Let her live a few more years at most."
"It's good to live a few more years. For mortals, more than ten years is also a very important time in life," Xu Zimo replied.
"For your sake, I can give her the sacred herb," Patriarch Xumi was not stingy.
The two of them were drinking and discussing Taoism on Kirigakure Mountain, which was quite interesting.
It wasn't until the next day that Xu Zimo found the girl Mu Yang and brought her the sacred grass.
Xu Zimo was thinking hard along the way. He always felt that some key information had been forgotten.
But I couldn't remember it for a while.
It wasn't until the moment he saw Mu Yang that Xu Zimo suddenly understood.
Suppose that no one can enter the Death Swamp, but people like Mu Yang and others with cursed bodies are not affected.
If I also possess a cursed body, does that mean I can enter the depths of the Death Swamp?
Thus it is not affected by the curse.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible, so he immediately went to discuss it with Patriarch Xumi.
