Chapter 248 Take Shortcuts

Jian Xihai and the fishmonger Lao Song looked at each other.

Fishmonger Lao Song Chongcheng replied: "Senior Huang Yehuang is the Supreme Elder of our Demon Sect, and he is also the monk with the highest cultivation level in our Demon Sect."

"It is said that the Demon Sect was established by Senior Huang Yehuang who gathered a group of like-minded monks 500 years ago."

Chengshuo nodded.

He continued: "What is the specific cultivation level of Senior Huang?"

"I don't know." Old Song, the fishmonger, said uncertainly: "It is said that when Senior Huang first founded the Demon Sect, he had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. As for his current state, it is really hard to say. After all, he has rarely appeared in these years. I think he must have been practicing in seclusion."

Chengshuo asked doubtfully: "Didn't it mean that after cultivating to a high level, a monk would be qualified to ascend to the fairy world?"

"Then Senior Huang is already a Nascent Soul Stage monk, isn't he qualified enough to ascend to the immortal world?"

"Ha," fishmonger Lao Song shook his head and said disdainfully: "Senior, you are joking. In fact, no matter whether it is the demon sect or the monks of the major immortal sects, everyone knows that ascending to the immortal world is just a scam. Perhaps, compared with the secular world, the immortal world is different. It is indeed possible that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will be more abundant, and monks will practice faster if they are in it, but immortality is definitely fake."

"Since there is no way to live forever, and the emperor, who is the Supreme Elder of the Demon Sect, has enmity with the Immortal Sect and the monks in the Immortal World, he will naturally not take the initiative to ascend to the Immortal World."

"As for us monks from the Demon Sect, why are we thinking about overthrowing the fairy world?"

Fishmonger Lao Song explained: "There are so many monks in the world who don't like the immortal world, and everyone has their own story, with different grievances and reasons, and there are even some who simply look down on the superior. I didn’t like the fairy world, so I joined the Demon Sect.”

"Then, there are also people who join the Demon Sect with other purposes, or hoping to gain benefits from overthrowing the fairy world."

"In short, the emergence and growth of the Thousand People and Thousand Faces Demon Sect cannot be explained clearly by one reason."

reasonable
After hearing about the fishmonger Lao Song, Chengsheng no longer bothered about matters related to the Demon Sect.

He turned his attention to the blood-red thorn ball, which was located in the central area of ​​Xuancheng City in the Ming Dynasty and was 70 meters high, also known as the 'giant spiritual root'.

It is the same as the small purple-black thorn ball obtained from Xue Haomiao's body.

The giant thorn balls in Xuancheng City in the Ming Dynasty also have countless hard hairs on their surfaces.

But at the end of those hairs, several human corpses were vaguely visible. Their chests were pierced by the thorny ball hairs, and they were left hanging in the air.

Some of them died early due to excessive blood loss and serious injuries.

But there are also some who are half dead, and even occasionally twitch once or twice in mid-air.

Even if he had seen the "Prison of Pain" on Xuanwu Planet and the "Hard Life" of Great Buddhism, he could not help but frown at this moment.

He wondered: "Is there any explanation for hanging all the mortals in Mingxuan City on that thorny ball and torturing them to death?"

"Seniors don't know something."

Fishmonger Lao Song explained for Cheng Sheng: "In order to overturn the notice from the fairy world, we Demon Sect monks have been trying to summon the projection of 'that Lord'."

"And in order to summon the projection of 'That Lord', the prerequisite is to cultivate the derivative derived from 'That Lord', which is what you see now, the giant blood-red thorn ball."

"That spike ball is special."

"It does not need to eat or drink water, nor does it need to absorb any kind of energy. The only thing it needs is the human emotion of 'sacrifice'."

"In order to squeeze out human beings' sacrificial emotions so that the giant thorny ball can quickly grow to maturity, we Demon Sect monks chose the summoning location in the densely populated Mingxuan City, and used the lives of the people in Mingxuan City to feed the thorny ball .”

So, the unspeakable creatures in this world feed on human beings' sacrificial emotions? ?
Hearing what the fishmonger Lao Song said, Cheng Sheng's face showed a look of surprise.

No wonder he has tried to feed the thorn ball with various emotions these days but failed in the end. Unexpectedly, the derivatives feed on such unpopular emotions.
In order to break through to the integration stage, it is definitely necessary to cultivate a derivative of the 'thorn ball' to survive in the future.

Considering this, he asked the fishmonger Lao Song: "Speaking of which, what is the function of that giant blood-red thorn ball? Can your demon sect overthrow the rule of the fairy world just by relying on this thing?"

Fishmonger Lao Song replied: "First of all, the blood-red thorn ball can release a red light shield. The red light shield can affect all monks who enter its range. I believe you, senior, have also seen this: righteous monks , everyone is afraid of our red light, so they have never dared to invade Mingxuan City."

"Continue." Chengshuo encouraged the other party and waited for the next words.

Fishmonger Lao Song continued: "In addition to the defensive aspect, the thorn ball can also allow the Demon Sect monks like us to communicate with 'that Lord', and then our cultivation level will increase dramatically in a short period of time, and we will gain unimaginable power."

Can the thorn ball allow the monk to communicate with 'that lord'?
Chengsheng only thought about it for a moment, and it suddenly dawned on him: the 'that adult' mentioned by the fishmonger Old Song was most likely referring to the indescribable creature on the planet.

Unnameable creatures cannot be called by their names.

Otherwise, once too many people know of its existence, the indescribable creature will invade from nothingness to reality.

Just like Xuanwu Star.

The monks on Xuanwu Star are accustomed to calling 'Buddha' by his name, and a small number of monks are aware of the existence of 'Wu Si'.

This caused the pollution of 'Buddha' and 'Wu Si' to spread on a large scale, and they fought with each other endlessly on Xuanwu Star, causing all living beings to suffer.

In contrast, the monks on Bai Qiuxing only call the local indescribable creatures 'that lord'.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the pollution on Baiqiu Star has never been as serious as that on Xuanwu Star, so there are densely populated and extremely prosperous mortal cities such as Mingxuan City.

As for why communicating with 'that lord' can greatly increase the monk's strength.
From Cheng Sheng's point of view, the demon monks communicating with 'that master' might be able to deepen their own pollution in disguised form.

As pollution intensifies, its strength will naturally increase.

Thinking of this, Cheng Sheng took advantage of the situation and said to the fishmonger Lao Song: "Although the thorn ball can improve the monk's cultivation, but come to think of it, this improvement also has certain side effects, right?"

"Senior's lesson!"

Fishmonger Lao Song responded: "Although communicating with 'that lord' can increase monks' cultivation, because 'that lord''s strength is too strong, not everyone can withstand it, so this power can easily be destroyed." It will make people fall into madness. Specifically, the lower the cultivation level of the monks, the easier it is to lose control due to this power, while the higher cultivation level monks have relatively stronger resistance."

The explanation given by the fishmonger Lao Song is not difficult to understand:

The higher the cultivation level of a monk, the more serious the pollution he will suffer, and he will naturally be able to withstand more and more serious pollution.

Therefore, the higher the monk's cultivation level, the more blessings he can enjoy from the power of 'that adult'.

Relying on his senior status as an expert, the two jars of good wine he had just given away, and the special barbecue brought from other planets, Chengsheng easily learned more about it from the fishmonger Lao Song and Jian Xihai. More relevant notes on how to grow 'Spiny Balls'.

Finally, Cheng Sheng looked at the mortal hanging on the thorny ball and said: "If you want to collect the 'sacrificial emotions' to feed the thorny ball, you only need to hang the mortal on the hair on the surface of the thorny ball, and then let it fend for itself." ?”

"It's not that simple."

The fishmonger Lao Song shook his head and said: "Hang people on the hair of giant thorn balls. This can only be regarded as pure torture. It will not produce the 'emotion of sacrifice'."

"The reason why the mortals in Mingxuan City can have a 'sacrificing mood' is only because we captured their relatives, parents or children."

"Then we threaten these people's relatives and force them to voluntarily hang themselves on the hair of the giant thorn ball."

"Only by voluntarily dying and voluntarily dying for the people you cherish, can you squeeze out the 'sacrificing emotions' of the target person."

Ah this
Knowing that the Demon Sect uses such methods to squeeze out the "sacrificial emotions" of mortals, Cheng Shengsheng couldn't help but show a trace of tangle.Taking the path of "transforming gods into demons" and becoming a monk in the transformation stage, he must act in accordance with his heart.

His surviving rationality told him: What he should do now is to capture some mortals and lock them in an underground secret room, and use the method taught by the fishmonger Lao Song to squeeze out the 'sacrificial emotions' of the mortals, and use this emotion to feed the purple spirit obtained from Xue Haomiao's body. Black spiked ball.

When the purple-black thorn balls enter the mature stage, their survival will naturally be based on this breakthrough.
However, Chengshuo's true intention told him: It would be too cruel to use the method taught by fishmonger Lao Song to squeeze out the 'emotion of sacrifice'. If Chengsheng really did that, he would be doing things against his true will, which would be a violation of his will. The path you take.

In this way, it is very likely that the level of survival will not increase but fall.

Brain pain.
On the city floor.

I couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds, so I asked about other details.

"Actually, I have seen 'thorn balls' similar to those in Mingxuan City before, but what I saw can only be regarded as 'small spike balls', only as big as a human heart."

Chengshuo asked: "So why is this blood-red thorn ball you made more than 20 sticks high?"

"You can raise it." Fishmonger Lao Song replied: "I have been raising this blood-red thorn ball in Xuancheng in the Ming Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, and it has only grown to this level. Body type.”

"It is precisely because of this that the red light emitted by this thorn ball can cover the entire Mingxuan City in one breath, and make the righteous monks fearful and dare not move forward except outside Mingxuan City."

This giant blood-red thorny ball, which is a derivative of an indescribable creature, has been cultivated by the Demon Sect for nearly a hundred years?

And it has not grown to maturity after being raised for more than a hundred years? ?

After learning that the 'thorn ball' derivatives need to be cultivated for more than a hundred years to reach maturity, Cheng Sheng couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart:

If it were just a derivative of Bai Qiuxing and it would take more than a hundred years to mature, that would be fine.

To survive, you only need to invade another planet to solve this problem.

But if all derivatives need to be cultivated for more than a hundred years, then the problem will be much more difficult.

——This means that survival will take at least hundreds of years in the process of breaking through the integration stage, and it must be guaranteed to succeed in the first time.

If the breakthrough fails and even the derivatives it feeds die, then more than a hundred years will be wasted.

After realizing the seriousness of the problem, Chengshuo no longer wanted to continue chatting with the fishmonger Lao Song and others.

He bowed his hands to the two of them, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then used the "air control" magic directly in front of the two of them, and left from the east tower of Xuancheng City in the Ming Dynasty.

midair.

The moment he left, Cheng Sheng used a 'refraction' magic that could interfere with light, hiding his figure, and disappeared inexplicably under the watchful eyes of fishmonger Lao Song, Jian Xihai, and other Demon Sect monks.

"This"

Upstairs in the east city.

Jian Xihai's eyes were filled with shock when he saw that Cheng Huo suddenly disappeared before he could fly very far.

He looked at the fishmonger Lao Song next to him and said: "Old Song, did you see clearly just now? That senior just used some kind of magic that can move instantly?"

"Probably!" Old Song, the fishmonger, said uncertainly.

Jian Xihai said: "Then what happened this time, should we report it to the people above?"

"Retribution, I must repay it."

The fishmonger Lao Song analyzed calmly: "Nearly all the monks on the upper floor of Fandong City saw this incident of drinking wine and eating meat with the seniors. We definitely can't hide it, so this matter must be reported to the people above. Know.”

"But when senior was talking to us, no one dared to come forward and listen."

Old Song, the fishmonger, smiled slyly and said, "So, what we just talked about with our seniors is not entirely up to us."

"Let's expose less of our senior's secrets and try to please him. Maybe he will think of us next time if it's good for him."

"It is a great blessing for us that a master like our senior casually leaves some soup for us to drink when eating meat!"

"It makes sense!" Jian Xihai, who was standing beside him, suddenly understood after hearing this.

...

Because of some concerns in his heart, Cheng Huo went straight back to the underground secret room of Xue Haomiao's residence after leaving the east tower of Mingxuan City.

in the secret room.

Chengshuo put his hand on the space gem, and after taking out the Shadow Pavilion Divine Cauldron, he poured a small amount of 'power of pain' into it.

The next second, a black shadow appeared on the cauldron.

"Fellow Taoist, you are well." As soon as the black shadow monk appeared, he greeted Cheng Huo.

And Shengsheng couldn't wait to say: "Fellow Taoist, there is something I must ask you clearly: As for the magic breakthrough method you mentioned before, doesn't it mean that you need to cultivate an indescribable derivative first, and then combine it with your own god? Can a breakthrough be achieved only through the fusion of consciousness?"

"So how long does the process of cultivating indescribable derivatives take?"

"Uh"

The black shadow monk said with a hint of embarrassment in his tone: "It's true that I forgot to tell my fellow Taoist about this: if you want to cultivate an indescribable derivative to maturity, it will take hundreds of years. Some growth time Longer indescribable derivatives take nearly a thousand years to cultivate, and during this period, the caregivers need to continuously feed the derivatives with 'emotional power'."

"In fact, more than a hundred years are just a snap of a finger for us monks, so I didn't specifically emphasize the time-consuming issue before."

"Actually, this can be considered an oversight on my part."

The black shadow monk said sheepishly: "After all, my fellow Taoist has broken through from the early stage of divine transformation to the late stage of divine transformation in just a few years. The speed of cultivation improvement is incredible."

"Now that fellow Taoist is so anxious to ask me, I guess he already knows that cultivating derivatives takes a lot of time, so it's a bit unacceptable for the moment, right?"

"It's true." Chengshuo said with a bitter smile: "Although it will take more than a hundred years, I can't afford to wait, but if there is a faster way, I still want to try to take a shortcut."

The black shadow monk said speechlessly: "The combined magic breakthrough method itself is considered a shortcut. You actually want to take another shortcut when taking the shortcut. Fellow Taoist, you are really outrageous."

Chengshuo asked: "So, is there a shortcut to cultivating indescribable derivatives?"

"This" the black shadow monk thought for a moment and said: "Before I answer your question, I want to ask you first: Where did you know that it takes at least more than a hundred years to cultivate indescribable derivatives?"

"Of course I heard what others said." Chengsheng replied truthfully: "On the planet I am currently invading, I saw a derivative that has been cultivated for more than a hundred years, and that derivative has not grown yet. At the mature stage, I then thought of my own situation, and then contacted fellow Taoists."

"really."

The black shadow monk reminded Chengshuo: "Fellow Taoist, don't you want to take a shortcut? Since you have already encountered ready-made indescribable derivatives that have been artificially cultivated for more than a hundred years, why do you need to go through all the pains yourself? What about nurturing? Just go grab what others have raised!"
