Chapter 86: Peeping into the Secret and Finding the Treasure
Chapter 86: Peeping into the Secret and Finding the Treasure
The Supreme Lord of Goodness and the Saint both looked extremely ugly and ferocious.
This old Buddha is not immune either.
In addition to his tall, rotten body, he also had the six evil spirits: devil eyes, giant ears, bloody nose, etc. There was also a tangible, fishy, and foul-smelling devil fragrance all over his body. When he jumped over, the terrifying impact force completely shattered the lucky thoughts in everyone's hearts.
"Escape!"
"Run for your life!"
Some people were roaring, but more people, like Li Yu, turned around and fled down the mountain without saying a word.
These three monsters may have gradually fallen out of Sequence Six due to the erosion of time, but they are still stronger than ordinary Sequence Seven.
When they surrounded and attacked together, anyone who ran slower would surely die.
At this time, both good and evil showed amazing tacit understanding.
Run for your life!
Even the two strongest Sequence Seven “Witch” and “Sun-Eating Lady” are like this.
The slightly different thing is that the Earth Mother Sect practitioner named Qingnv will cast spells to help the others during their escape.
As for the pretty widow, Shi Yang Po, she wanted to use the other demon star leaders as scapegoats.
Of course, the one who escaped the fastest was Li Yu.
When both sides on the mountaintop fled in all directions, he had almost returned to the alien valley.
It took a long time for the other evil cultivators to arrive.
Li Yu looked over and saw that, including the widow Shi Yang Po, a total of four demon star leaders had escaped. The loss was not small.
"Damn it, this isn't right."
"It's not surprising that the three [Supreme Incarnations] have such combat power, but why did they suddenly wake up from their slumber? Especially the demon monk. The temple and the academy can be explained as invasions by both sides, but no one explored or killed the old Buddhist temple. Why did it suddenly wake up?"
"This is illogical. As a result, the difficulty of this Weird Territory conquest mission has increased to the point where it is simply impossible for us to complete it."
The one who spoke was the Yang-eating woman.
The temptation as if bathed in spring breeze and full of peach blossoms was gone from her face. She was frowning and looked extremely angry.
And her words made Li Yu's heart skip a beat.
It can’t be because of me, right?
Triggered that unique special main quest?
So the three sleeping incarnations of Supreme Goodness awaken collectively?
Before he could figure it out and deny it in his heart, the bear-headed demon monk who had luckily survived said in a muffled voice:
"Fortunately, when the three monsters met, they killed each other. The strongest one was the [Supreme Saint], who forced the demon Taoist to jump into the academy and join forces with the demon monk. The three parties were in a stalemate, which gave us a chance to escape. Otherwise, we would have died there."
"But I'm afraid no one can complete the main mission of [Sacrificing the Three Flowers]."
"In this situation, will the Demon Star Order let us return to reality?"
This evil monk is not as stupid as he looks.
He spoke with an apologetic smile on his face, looking at the widow, obviously wanting to get the answer from her.
He didn't gain much from this trip. He just completed a side quest and earned 100 merits, which saved him from being wiped out.
But after the dangerous experience just now, he just wanted to go back. His life was the most important.
But the next moment, he got a cruel answer:
"You are such a coward, you stinky bear, but you guessed right, no one can leave for the time being."
"When will the Monster Star Order's expedition mission end?"
"It only depends on two factors: one is to sacrifice the rarest thing in the strange domain, which is the three flowers in this case; the second is to kill all the people in the opposing camp."
"You won't be wiped out, but you can't leave, and the same goes for those reincarnations."
"If we can't sacrifice the three monsters, we can only go and fight with the Reincarnators. Fortunately, there are only five people left on the other side, and their strength is equal."
"Ok?"
As Shiyangpo was speaking, she suddenly uttered an exclamation.
However, he discovered that the noise of fighting that had been resounding on the top of the mountain suddenly stopped.
Two terrifying figures, one on the left and one on the right, jumped out of the Ancient Saint Academy at the same time and returned to the deepest parts of their respective temples.
This scene!
Seeing this, everyone frowned even deeper. Now they no longer had the thought that "the three monsters might kill each other and die together so that we can take advantage of the situation".
Who would have thought that the three monsters would stop fighting when they were tired and go back to their own homes.
"This is so disgusting!"
"If both camps attack, the three incarnations of the Great Devil will come out together, fighting each other and killing the invaders at the same time."
"How can we play with this?"
"What about my plan to fish in troubled waters and spy on people?"
"We must find a way to safely spy on at least one of the old demon incarnations, so as to find clues to complete my special main mission."
Li Yu was also very dissatisfied in his heart, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind.
It was at this time that the Yang-Shi Po, whose name had not been revealed until now, suddenly stared at Li Yu and the others with a pair of pitiful widow eyes.
Then, he began to give orders.
Her voice was extremely gentle and charming, and full of temptation, but the commands she spoke were all tinged with danger.
"My fellow Taoists, I don't want to be trapped in this damn place. I need to find a way to leave as soon as possible."
"I need two fellow Taoists. One will help me investigate the movements of those reincarnators, and the other will go to investigate Zhishan's lair to see what caused the three incarnations to awaken at the same time. Whether it is the Demon Star Order or the Reincarnation Skynet, although the tasks given have extremely high mortality rates, they will not leave no chance of survival."
"Since the Supreme Saint is the strongest, the clues are most likely in that academy."
"Which two Taoist friends are willing to help?"
There was doubt in her tone, but her peach blossom eyes were now staring straight at Li Yu and the bear-headed demon monk.
Very reasonable!
In the field, they were the only two who had not yet bowed down before her mourning clothes.
The other two had no idea what had happened to them before, and they always looked at the woman with infatuated eyes, like drooling pugs, and it was obvious that they had completely assumed her shape.
I believe that if she had the time and opportunity, she would have taken action against Li Yu and the others, but unfortunately she didn't have time.
In this case, if not using these two as cannon fodder, what else can we do?
The two can also choose to refuse, and the consequences are self-evident.
"I'm going to explore the academy."
Almost immediately, a very sad and dejected voice came out of Li Yu's mouth, as if he was about to commit suicide.
Obviously this one is the most dangerous of the two tasks, so the bear-headed monster thought it would have to fight for it.
But when he saw that it was Li Yu, the "tragic corpse", he suddenly felt normal again.
This is how it is for all practitioners of the Hanged King's Path.
He was in a state of confusion, sometimes wanting to die, sometimes wanting to live, and most of the time he wanted to hang others.
"Tsk tsk, there are so many handsome young men, why can't they think of practicing the Hanged King Way?"
"Go ahead, if you really gain something, I will give you a good reward."
"Not only will I not absorb your Yang Qi, I will also pass some of it to you, so that you can feel the pleasure of the flesh..."
When he heard these words, the pretty woman who was wearing Yang Shi appeared behind Li Yu in the blink of an eye, hugged him, and spoke with a sweet breath.
Even though the effect of the sad pill has worn off, Li Yu has completely immersed himself in the role.
With a sigh, he shook off her embrace and headed straight back to the Ancient Saint Academy on the top of the mountain. The bear-headed demon monk on the other side smiled and said before leaving:
"Senior, you and I are from the same sect, so please stop joking."
"If you really want to spar with me, it won't be too late to come after I'm promoted to Death-Seeker."
……
Li Yu took the initiative to accept this task, so he had something to rely on.
Even if Shi Yang Po said it would be later, Li Yu might have volunteered. He needed an environment where he could be alone and not be exposed to carry out those methods so as to quietly complete his own special main line.
He wants to use the bubbles of truth to uncover the secret!
The first choice is still the most benevolent saint, which is exactly what he wants.
After leaving the Alien Valley and approaching the academy, he reached into his arms without hesitation and took out the last Sorrowful Pill and swallowed it.
Only after he turned into a real corpse did he feel a little relieved and began to move forward in big strides.
Sneaking into the outskirts of the academy, Li Yu was able to make himself appear in front of an alien scholar who was sewn into a lobster monster.
Sure enough, the other party turned a blind eye and treated him as just a corpse rather than an intruder.
See this scene!
Li Yu felt more at ease. Without making any sound, he quietly entered the core area of the academy, but did not enter the place where the most benevolent saint was sleeping.
After estimating the distance, Li Yu took a deep breath and then made his move.
That seventh bubble of truth!
It shattered in the next breath, and the soul of truth floated out in a burst of brilliance.
"One hundred and forty breaths!"
"The range is more than seven feet."
When the new power emerged, Li Yu's soul had already ignored all obstacles, passed through the walls continuously, and appeared in the deepest part of the academy.
This looks like a huge study or a flesh and blood laboratory?
A large number of rotten and moldy books and various strange utensils surrounded the disgusting and uncomfortable body of the "Supreme Saint".
Perhaps because he had fought with Zhenjun and Laofo and suffered considerable trauma, he fell into a deep sleep again.
In the corner of the study room there were piles of a large number of body parts of living creatures, from all races, including humans, but they were all already rotten.
Li Yu did not delay and focused on looking at the monster in Confucian robes. Various questions about seeking knowledge appeared in his mind, and they burst out one by one, which also brought about the emergence of detailed and extraordinary information:
"The Most Benevolent Saint!"
"A practitioner from the late Warring States period, his real name is Zhu Zhishan. Since he was young, he has been a disciple of a powerful practitioner from the Holy Nest organization, practicing the ancient saint path. He has a great ambition in his heart and has made a great wish to make the common people in his hometown have extraordinary powers, even if they don't go through the path sequence. For this reason, he concentrates on the transformation of flesh and blood, the creation of races, and other strange arts."
"With the help of his master, he wrote a book called "The Notes of Supreme Goodness", which is not only his experimental log, but also a secret book of the ancient saints' path. It also records the entire process of the birth and destruction of the Changyi Mountain Weird Domain."
"With this secret book and the existence of Changyi Mountain, Zhu Zhishan briefly reached the fifth level of the Ancient Saint Path [Saint of Dharma Transmission], but then fell and died."
"This body is what is left after his death. It is controlled by a will and obsession. It will kill all intruders and try to devour Zhishan Zhenjun and the old Buddha again and again."
……
A secret story, coupled with the knowledge of a new sequence, immediately allowed Li Yu's ninth bubble of truth to quickly charge up.
Although many secrets have been revealed.
For example, the organization called Holy Nest actually started causing trouble at the end of the Warring States Period.
For example, he also saw some weaknesses of the "Supreme Saint" in front of him.
But Li Yu still realized something was wrong at this time.
"Zhu Zhishan... the master from the Holy Nest... the saint who teaches the Dharma..."
"I have seen this. Logically speaking, the truth about the destruction of the Changyi Mountain Mysterious Territory should also be revealed."
"But even if I asked questions, there was still no response."
"Could it be double encryption again?"
"You insist that I get the key items, strictly follow the order, and complete the special main mission, without giving me any loopholes?"
When Li Yu had these suspicious thoughts, his soul had already drifted away.
If this "Zhu Zhishan" was still the strongest Sequence Five during his lifetime, even in this state, Li Yu would not dare to approach him.
But it was just one fallen corpse that had fallen a lot, so he became much bolder.
next moment!
Li Yu touched the corpse.
Just like when he tried to touch the skinning forbidden ghost before, Li Yu sank his rainbow arms into the huge corpse and began to search around.
In the first few dozen breaths, the clues that emerged were all about various limbs.
Until one moment, Li Yu touched a two-finger-thick cold and sticky book with his hands, and extraordinary information suddenly emerged in his mind:
"The Ultimate Notebook!"
"This is written by a fifth-generation sage of the Ancient Sage Path. It contains a variety of transformation techniques and many mysteries of the Ancient Sage Path."
"This note is what Zhu Zhishan is obsessed with, and it cannot be assimilated and stolen."
"Ok?"
Li Yu was surprised at first, then he sneered.
Sure enough!
If I'm not mistaken, this notebook should be the only item to complete the special main quest [The Truth about the Mysterious Area of Changyi Mountain].
Maybe the rare item that will be rewarded after completion will also be this item.
The most painful thing is that he sees hope and clues, but when he thinks about it carefully, he realizes that he can't do it alone.
Fortunately, Li Yu is in the state of truth soul!
Also absolutely rational.
He was not affected at all, and even thought of a countermeasure in an instant.
He glanced at the remaining time, which was not the time limit of the soul and body, but the time limit of the effect of the Sorrow Pill, so there was still some time to spare.
Li Yu continued to search and look around, and his scope was officially expanded to every corner of the entire flesh and blood laboratory.
After counting the interest rates!
Li Yuzhen's eyes paused, and he suddenly pulled his rainbow hands away from the disgusting body.
But there was something extra in his hand, which was a strange weapon that still emitted a cold light and was extremely ferocious.
Extraordinary information emerges immediately:
"A rare item, the Holy Book Knife."
"This sword was given by Zhu Zhishan's master and was made by the Holy Nest. It is not only a symbol of trust, but also allows practitioners of the Ancient Saint Path to fully display their magical powers."
"All of Zhu Zhishan's experiments in flesh and blood transformation and race creation were done with this knife."
"Similarly, this knife has extremely high damage to all creatures that have been transformed by flesh and blood. It can dismember a large area in an instant."
"It has passed the judgment and can be assimilated and stolen."
……
"nice one!"
Li Yu praised in his heart, because he was too rational, he did not try to attack Zhu Zhishan directly. He would not be able to take away Zhishan's note with one knife, but this monster would definitely wake up to eat people.
There was not much time left, and Li Yu's soul held the knife and returned to his body in the blink of an eye.
Afterwards, he put it into the storage sachet given by the little nun, and still in the "sad corpse" state, he ran wildly down the mountain.
ps: A chapter of 4,000 words, and there will be updates.
