Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 145 Retribution (4000 words, in )

In the lava core cave, Shen Sheng and Zhao Qiongman had already put on the black robes of the Black God Cult and officially became members of the Black God Cult.

The Black God Cult had no defenses against Shen Sheng and Zhao Qiongman. After all, they couldn't run away, not to mention that Zhao Qiongman would participate in the construction of an important magic circle at the Black God Cult branch.

If Zhao Qiongman slacked off, or if Zhao Qiongman deliberately delayed the formation, the monks of the Black God Cult would punish Shen Sheng.

This made Zhao Qiongman afraid to do anything wrong every day.

During the days since joining the Black God Cult, Shen Sheng and Zhao Qiongman have already known what the Black God Cult is doing.

They want to merge mortals and monsters.

In this way, mortals can possess the power of magical beasts and use them as spiritual roots for practice, which is somewhat similar to the mortals' "spiritual root planting".

But the problem is that the cost of "spiritual root planting" is very high, because there are very few spiritual roots that can be planted.

Those spiritual roots that can be planted are not spiritual roots in essence, but natural treasures that can absorb spiritual energy. They are just planted in mortals to serve as spiritual roots.

Moreover, for the vast majority of ordinary people who cultivate spiritual roots, the upper limit of their cultivation is very, very low. There are only a few cultivators who can reach the Cave Mansion Realm, and it is even more impossible to break through the Golden Core Realm.

Generally, people who plant spiritual roots are the princes of the major human dynasties, or famous warriors who want to live longer. These people do not want to become a cultivator at all, they just want to live longer.

The richer and more powerful a person is, the more he fears his own death.

And only these people can afford to use "artificial spiritual roots".

But now, what the Black God Cult is doing is subverting the world.

Warcraft is not comparable to those rare treasures.

Things like World of Warcraft can be found everywhere.

If the method of "integrating humans and monsters so that humans can practice cultivation" works, then the Black God Cult has almost changed the world.

This is a very crazy thing.

Just imagine, if everyone in the world could practice cultivation, what a grand occasion that would be!

But here is the problem.

Is this really a "grand occasion" rather than a "tragedy"?

When humans and monsters merge.

Can people really still maintain their sanity?
Is it true that humans cannot transform into beasts?

Going back ten thousand steps, even if merging with Warcraft has no side effects on the body and everyone in the world can practice, then are the resources in this world sufficient?
The resources a cultivator needs are huge! And the higher the realm, the more resources there are.

If everyone can practice cultivation, can this world really bear it?
However, Shen Sheng and Zhao Qiongman felt that it would not reach the point where "everyone could practice", and even the first step, the Black God Cult, had not been resolved.

In the Black God Cult, although Shen Sheng did not participate in the experiment of magic beast fusion, Shen Sheng could only stay by Zhao Qiongman's side and could not leave even a step, but Zhao Qiongman and some other formation masters improved the formation of human-beast fusion.

So, it was during this period of time that the two witnessed the Black God Cult's cruel and insane actions.

The monks of the Black God Cult went to the mortal world to capture mortals, including not only young men and women, but also the elderly. These beasts even spared no children or even babies!
These mortals, together with the magical beasts, were placed in a magic circle, and then with the help of the spiritual power emitted by the magic circle and the rare treasures of Baiwa City, the two were merged.

The fusion process is extremely painful and the failure rate is very, very high.

Out of a hundred people, at most only one person can merge successfully.

Zhao Qiongman and Shen Sheng also found out what was going on in Baiwa City.

Zhao Qiongman and Shen Sheng originally thought that the rare treasure that caused the strange phenomenon in Baiwa City was brought over by the Black God Cult.

The fact is, this rare treasure in Baiwa City does not belong to the Black Lotus Sect.

The Black Lotus Cult came to Baiwa City only because they saw that Baiwa City was an ownerless place. Baiwa City was located at the junction of the Southern Demon Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom, and there was no one in charge of it.

As a result, the Black Lotus Sect did not expect that a rare treasure would suddenly appear in this place.

And this rare treasure is the entire Baiwa City.

According to the Black Lotus Sect's deduction, Baiwa City will become a secret realm, and this secret realm will be contained by a carrier, and this carrier will be a painting.

There are examples of this kind.

Ten thousand years ago, in the wild land, there was an area that was stripped away by the Great Dao and became a blessed land, contained in a scroll, and finally obtained by a cultivator in the Ascending Realm.

Shen Sheng knew that the leader of this branch of the Black God Cult had his own ideas and wanted to take the entire scroll for himself, so he did not report it to the main headquarters.

Otherwise, a rare treasure of this magnitude would definitely be guarded by a powerful person.

During the formation process of the "Bai Wa Scroll", foreign objects will be excluded, and what will remain are the native "Bai Wa City residents".

That's why there are those white lights.

Although the ultimate goal of the Black God Cult is to strive for the integration of mortals and monsters.

However, the gap is too big. They plan to find a common point between monks and monsters, and then apply it to mortals.

It's just like medical practitioners testing drugs on animals first before using them on humans. It's basically the same principle.

The Black God Cult took advantage of the white light from Baiwa City.

The Black God Cult asked Zhao Qiongman and other array masters to create a magic array that could send the monks expelled from Baiwa City directly into the core cave of the lava.

Every day, Zhao Qiongman watched the magic circle he created harming one person after another. Zhao Qiongman felt heartbroken and extremely guilty.

Shen Sheng also knew that he had become his wife's handle.

Even Shen Sheng thought about just dying.

But even if he died, what would that do? Could he rescue his wife from this place?

Shen Sheng has been forbearing, and even took the initiative to help the Black God Cult, as if Shen Sheng had "figured it out" and wanted to help the Black God Cult accomplish this great cause that will last for the ages!
Shen Sheng's performance was also recognized by the leader of the Black God Cult branch.

Shen Sheng even started out as a small captive and rose to become a deacon in the Black God Cult branch.

Because the Black God Cult did not have enough manpower at the time, and the poison would suppress Shen Sheng's strength. In addition, during this period of time, Shen Sheng did a lot for the Black God Cult.

So after careful consideration, the leader of the Black God Cult branch gave the antidote to Shen Sheng.

It was on the fifth day after Shen Sheng got the antidote that he planned an escape.

Taking advantage of the lax guard, Shen Sheng ran out with his wife.

Shen Sheng was about to succeed, but in the end, the leader of the Black God Cult branch stood in front of Shen Sheng.

Shen Sheng and Zhao Qiongman were captured and taken back to the cave.

"Mr. Shen, I trusted you so much, but you betrayed my trust."

Qi Hui, the leader of the Black God Cult, stared at Shen Sheng. "This matter has nothing to do with my wife. If you want to kill me, kill me and let my wife go!" Shen Sheng clenched his fists tightly.

"Why do you feel you are the only one qualified to negotiate terms with me?" Qi Hui asked.

"Let my husband leave! I will work for the Black God Cult wholeheartedly! I will never have any second thoughts in the future! I guarantee it with my own path!" Zhao Qiongman stood in front of her husband.

Qi Hui just smiled and said, "Negotiation requires capital. Unfortunately, you guys don't have any capital at all now!"

Qi Hui waved his hand and threw Zhao Qiongman away. When Zhao Qiongman got up, she saw Qi Hui holding her husband's neck tightly.

Qi Hui looked at Zhao Qiongman and said, "The magic circle has been completed, and the headquarters has also sent a lot of magicians. You are of little use to me. If it weren't for your contributions to the Black God Cult, you would have been thrown into the magic circle for fusion. Now, you are in this situation. It's your own fault. You can't blame me."

"What do you want to do?!" Zhao Qiong yelled.

Qi Hui threw out a magic weapon and tied Zhao Qiongman to a pillar.

"What do you think I want to do?" Qi Hui raised his lips and threw Shen Sheng into the magic circle. "Someone, release the blood bat beast."

"Yes."

The disciples of the Black God Cult opened a cage and placed the bound blood bat beast into the magic circle.

"Bastard! Let go of my husband! Bastard! Bastard!"

Zhao Qiongman kept struggling.

But Zhao Qiongman could only watch her husband merge with a magical beast.

Listening to her husband's screams of pain, tears of blood flowed from the corners of Zhao Qiongman's eyes.

"I didn't expect that the fusion would be successful, and it was so successful."

After an incense stick of time, Qi Hui looked at Shen Sheng lying on the ground, with only some characteristics of a monster left on his back, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

The ultimate goal of the Black God Cult is not only to allow every ordinary person to successfully fuse with Warcraft, but also to make sure that ordinary people do not have any characteristics of Warcraft after the fusion.

Currently in this branch of the Black Magic Cult, among the hundreds of people who have successfully merged, not one has been able to reach this level.

However, there are two extremely rare features.

One of them is Shen Sheng.

"Kill me if you can!"

Shen Sheng lay extremely weak in the magic circle, staring at Qi Hui.

"Why would I kill you? Our Black God Cult needs to expand and make some noise. You should go to Wu State to carry out the mission." Qi Hui said coldly, "If you don't go, I will kill your wife. It's your choice."

"Don't agree to him!" Zhao Qiongman shouted at her husband, "Husband, I have too much blood on my hands. I deserve to die. Husband, we can't harm other innocent people anymore. Let's be husband and wife in the next life."

Qi Hui did not stop Zhao Qiongman from shouting, but threw a token in front of Shen Sheng: "If you agree, then pick up this token, otherwise, you two will die together."

Shen Sheng looked at the jade plate on the ground, then looked at his wife.

In the end, Shen Sheng chose to grab a jade token.

"Wise choice."

Qi Hui curled the corners of his mouth, put away the magic weapon, and left with his hands behind his back. The voice came from behind him.

Zhao Qiongman ran over, crawling and hugging her husband tightly in her arms.

Not long after, after Shen Sheng had completely adapted to his body after merging with the Warcraft, he was sent out on a mission.

The night before they parted, Zhao Qiongman handed Shen Sheng a storage bag and a palm-sized coffin:

"This contains my treasure. I will also give Xiaotiao to you. You must take good care of yourself."

Zhao Qiongman looked at her husband seriously and said in a low voice.

“The Baiwa scroll will be completed in seven or eight years. By that time, there will definitely be many sects competing for it. The Black God Cult is definitely playing with fire and getting burned by doing this.

Although the magic circle we escaped from before was destroyed, they certainly couldn't imagine that I actually set up another magic circle.

Didn’t I intercept the laws of Baiwa City and make them into a magic bead before leaving Baiwa City?

After you come back, and when all the sects have entered Baiwa City, we will find a way to send this magic bead into Baiwa City. This will not only help those cultivators escape, but also allow those cultivators to appreciate our kindness. Maybe they can help us escape.

All in all, we'll talk about this when you come back."

"Okay!" Shen Sheng nodded heavily, "You must be fine."

"Yeah." Zhao Qiongman hugged her husband tightly, "Be careful on the road."

The next day, Shen Sheng left, and Zhao Qiongman watched her husband go away.

Standing next to Zhao Qiongman, Qi Hui put his hands behind his back and said, "You two, it's obvious that there's nothing wrong with joining us. All the sacrifices we make are for a better world. I really don't understand why you are so resistant."

"What you did is against the will of heaven! There will be no good retribution!" Zhao Qiongman said coldly.

"retribution?"

Qi Hui smiled.

"My father was the owner of a sword manor. One day, a cultivator came to our manor. My father welcomed him warmly, but the cultivator saw my mother's beauty and raped her. My father was killed by the cultivator in order to protect my mother. Except for me who escaped, the entire manor was engulfed in flames.

Guess what happened to that monk? "

Qi Hui turned around and said, "Then let me tell you, that cultivator later reached the Nascent Soul stage, founded a sect, and was worshipped as a god by countless cultivators and common people. Tell me, where is the retribution?"

Zhao Qiongman: “.”

"Let's go back."

Qi Hui walked back.

"You two are actually my old friends. I didn't tell him that you were pregnant with his child, but after Shen Sheng merged with the monster, I didn't know whether the child you were pregnant with was human or beast.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for a person who has merged with a demon beast to have reproductive ability.

You are the exception.

I should have reported it to headquarters, but I didn't.

If you don't keep the child, that's your business, I won't threaten you to stay.

This is the last thing I can do for you two ‘old friends’.”

[I have a cold. It's really uncomfortable. I have a terrible headache and my shoulders are sore. My whole family has a cold. Is it the flu season?
It has been raining here for almost a month, right?
I just checked the weather forecast, it will rain for the next half month, I am so annoyed]
