Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"Why did you defect from the Immortal Cult?"

"I discovered their secret and couldn't stand it, so I decided to leave."

"Secret? What secret?"

"They feed on the flesh and blood of monks to achieve the effect of immortality."

Tangning frowned upon hearing this. Isn't this the characteristic of the corpse insect's host body to feed on monks' flesh and blood? Could this Immortal Cult be the mastermind behind the zombie incident?

"Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"That's right." There was a look of trembling and fear in Wrinkle Yinglong's eyes: "That day it was my turn to be on duty in the palace. When I heard a strange noise coming from behind the palace, I accidentally ran over and found a secret room. The sound came from the secret room."

"To be honest, I have long suspected that this Immortal Cult is a crooked sect. They often go out to arrest monks, and claim that these monks are heretics and madmen who have offended the True God of the Immortal Cult. They want to sacrifice them to the True God of Immortality in order to obtain The ability to be immortal.”

"I sneaked into the secret room quietly and saw..."

"I saw that the three guardians of the Immortal Sect were eating the flesh and blood of the captured monks. It turned out that they placed the captured monks in this secret room not to sacrifice to the immortal god, but to use them as their own food."

"I discovered their secret and didn't dare to stay long, so I quickly exited. I have been looking for ways to escape since then."

"Finally, one day, they asked me to go with them to capture the heretics, so I was able to leave the main altar and escape when they were not paying attention. But for some reason, they were able to find my hiding place. If there was no senior to save me, , this junior has lost his head."

It seems that it is indeed the corpse insect host. Tangning thought to herself, "How many people are there in your sect and how many guardians are there?"

"The Immortal Cult is not large in scale. There are only twenty-one people in total including me, three guardians and one leader."

"What kind of cultivation are they?"

"Two of the three guardians have reached the tenth level of Qi refining, and one has reached the ninth level of Qi refining. The leader is a monk in the middle stage of foundation building, and there is an elder who is in the early stage of foundation building."

In the middle stage of foundation building, this should be the corpse insect host with the highest cultivation level discovered so far.

Tang Ning's figure flashed, her spiritual power wrapped around him, and she flew away. Cree Yinglong didn't make any resistance, and couldn't resist. He let his spiritual power wrap him up and followed him.

The two of them fled for more than ten miles, and the light fell to a mountain stream.

"Senior, where is this?" Cree Yinglong asked in confusion. This place still belongs to the same mountain range as the place just now.

Tangning took out a handful of herbs and a black robe from her storage bag and handed them to him: "First, clean your whole body thoroughly to prevent the Immortal Cult from chasing after you again."

Crane Yinglong realized clearly that the reason why the Immortal Cult monks were able to find their hiding place was probably because they had done something to them early on. So he took off his clothes, smeared his whole body with herbs and jumped into the stream to wash himself.

Tang Ning waited quietly. His spiritual power had just been wandering around his body for a week, but no hidden curse seals were found. The people of the Immortal Cult were able to find him so accurately. Apart from coincidence, they should have left tracking clues on his body.

There are many kinds of colorless and odorless medicinal powders in the world, which are specially used for tracking. If they are sprinkled on the body, they cannot be detected by human smell. Some spirit beasts can sense it. Even if they are one or two hundred miles away, the spirit beast can smell some special smells.

Tang Ning didn't care much at first. Those who were pursuing him were Qi Refining monks. If they dared to pursue him, they would be easily dealt with. But when he revealed that the leader of the Immortal Sect was a monk in the middle stage of foundation building, and there was even an elder in the early stage of foundation building, he couldn't help but be more cautious. Anyway, it doesn't take much effort to clean it up, so it's better to avoid some things that should be avoided. .

There is no point in a meaningless fight to the death.

Not long after, Crepe Yinglong finished cleaning, discarded all his original clothes, and changed into a set of black robes and bamboo hats. His body exuded a strong smell of herbs.

The two of them flew for more than a hundred miles and landed on a mountain top: "Let me ask you, you just said that you sneaked into the secret room and saw them eating the bodies of the monks. According to you, those protectors all had You are at the tenth level of Qi refining, but you are only at the seventh level. Why didn't they notice you?"

"This is due to the secret skills practiced by the younger generation. To be honest, my parents died early when I was young. My grandmother also passed away after taking care of me for a few years. There was no one in the family, so I had to make a living by chopping wood and collecting herbs. One day, I collected herbs. When I fell from the cliff, I luckily caught the vines and saw a cave covered by vines between the cliffs. I had no other choice but to enter the cave first. "

"There was a monk who died sitting in the cave. The junior found a secret book of practice in his arms, which led him to the path of practice. He also got some spiritual stones, talismans and a set of exercises in his storage bag. "The younger generation has been practicing hard for more than twenty or thirty years. Finally, in the late stage of Qi refining, he has achieved some success in his practice, which is called the method of concealing traces of wood and stone."

"Oh? You can show it in front of me and open my eyes." Tang Ning said, the origin of this person is unknown, and he does not completely believe what he said. If what he said is true, he is prepared to Take him to the intelligence station and report the situation to the sect, but first make sure he is not lying.

"How dare this junior? Since senior must see it, then this junior will be embarrassed." Cree Yinglong made seals with both hands, and his body slowly faded until it disappeared.

Tangning's consciousness swept away and she immediately spotted a vague figure in front of her. He nodded: "It is indeed an exquisite method. If you have such a wonderful method, why are you still being chased by them?"

"Senior, I don't know. This junior can enter a stealth state by using this method. Once he mobilizes his spiritual power to attack others or is attacked by others, he will reveal his original form."

"Yesterday, the junior was practicing in the wooden house at the foot of the mountain. The Immortal Sect suddenly came. The junior immediately used this method. Unexpectedly, more than a dozen huge fireballs hit him. The junior had no choice but to use his spiritual power to resist, so he was discovered by them. I can't get rid of him all the way." Cree Yinglong's original body appeared as he spoke.

"You said you were deceived into the Immortal Cult by a friend. Who is your friend's name?"

Cree Yinglong said: "His name is He Yang. He and I are both casual cultivators in South China. That day, he told me that he had found a shortcut to build the foundation. He didn't need the foundation building pill, and he didn't need to go through the inner demon step of building the foundation. It can also build the foundation smoothly.”

"Of course I didn't believe it, but he swore an oath, so driven by curiosity, I joined the Immortal Cult General Forum together."

"After joining the religion, they told me that the elders of the Immortal Sect went directly from the Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Building Stage without going through any Foundation Building procedures. They even swore on their inner demons that it was true. I saw that they were serious about what they were saying and they swore so confidently. I’m also dubious.”

"They said that as long as you accumulate enough merit, you can teach this method."

Tangning couldn't help but sneer when she heard this. How is this possible without going through the process of spiritual power flushing and reshaping the meridians in an attempt to build a foundation: "They are called the Immortal Cult, but have they ever shown any special abilities? For example, immortality?"

"Both the leader and the protector have demonstrated this miraculous ability. They were naked and allowed us to attack them, and they were able to heal quickly no matter how serious their injuries were. This is one of the reasons why many people follow the Immortal Cult wholeheartedly. To be honest, I still feel I still don’t understand how they did it, maybe they really have such a skill!”

"Healing? You mean their injuries have healed?" Tangning asked in shock.

Cree Yinglong said: "Yes, their wounds can heal automatically. I personally tested it when I joined the religion. At that time, a masked protector stood naked in front of me and allowed me to attack. I couldn't believe it at first and hesitated. Didn’t dare to take action.”

"He Yang, who brought me into the club, saw me like this and took the initiative to demonstrate. He pierced his chest with a sword. I was shocked. This was a fatal wound. The sword pierced his heart. No matter how advanced he was, he would be killed. . Unexpectedly, the protector's face was expressionless and showed no pain. It didn't take long for the wound to heal little by little. "

"The whole process took less than a stick of incense. During this period, the protector moved freely, laughed and talked freely, without any influence. He also encouraged me to try it myself. Seeing him like this, I followed the same example and stabbed his chest with a sword. But after a while, his wounds returned to their original state.”

Tangning fell into deep thought. The corpse insect host she had encountered and captured before was indeed immortal, but it did not have such healing power.

Could it be that this group of immortal cult monks are not corpse insect hosts? Or is it that their abilities have evolved?

The ability to heal wounds is quite similar to one's own physical characteristics, but it is impossible for so many people to have green spiritual power or practice the Great Five Elements Reincarnation Technique.

Listening to what Cree Yinglong said, the speed at which their chest injuries healed took a stick of incense. From this point of view, they were far inferior to him.

Tang Ning is more inclined to think that their abilities have evolved, not only becoming immortal, but also gaining the ability to heal injuries quickly.

This is a bit scary. The reason why these zombie hosts want to eat flesh and blood is because the corpse bugs in their bodies are causing trouble, controlling their minds and craving blood.

And this is also the reason why they have immortality.

Now they have gained the ability to heal wounds, and their abilities are evolving. In other words, the zombies are evolving.

Corpse worms can actually evolve. Is this evolution caused by artificial cultivation? Or natural evolution? "

"Senior Tang, what's wrong?" Cree Yinglong asked in confusion when he saw his brows furrowed and his expression solemn.

"How many people in the Immortal Cult have such abilities?"

"As far as I know, only three guardians, the elders and the leader have this ability. Other members of the congregation do not have this ability to die."

"What are the names of the three protectors, elders and leader?"

"This junior is not sure. In the religion, we never call the members by their names, only the members' positions. We call the three guardians Qinglong, Zhuque, and White Tiger. Even our members have their own nicknames, and they are numbered in the order in which they join the church. My name is No. 19."
