Primordial Qi

Chapter 131 Are there any masters?

The three of them looked at each other, somewhat puzzled as to the origin of this mummy. Its clothing did not resemble the clothes of the Dawu Dynasty. Even thousands of years ago, the clothes of the Dawu Dynasty were already extremely gorgeous, and the clothes of the monks even had the effect of concealing the soul.

"If it is an ancient corpse from thousands of years ago, this guy's clothes are weird, and there is not even any coverage on the upper body. It looks really strange." Lin Xiu carefully observed the things that were wrong, and Xiao Tian was silent.

"Could it be... that there are natives here?" Lin Xiu had a flash of inspiration, but he could not think of any other suitable reason.

"Native?" Gu Chenyu was confused. If it wasn't my friend, you're also from Blue Star? He even said the word "native".

"Brother Batian, don't be surprised. It's normal to have indigenous people in such a place. The spiritual energy here is a little thin, but it doesn't necessarily mean that no one lives here." Xiao Tian also nodded. In their place, "aboriginal" also means indigenous people. It seems like it was a language learned by a strong man who went to sea and used it because he thought it was interesting.

"What a joke you two are playing. This guy doesn't look like a native at all. He should be a physical cultivator who has reached the state of internal organs being in harmony, comparable to the realm of heaven. The fact that his body has not perished here means that it has not been long since he died. Moreover, there are no fatal injuries on his body, which also means that there are cultivators stronger than him who have taken action and dried him alive into a mummy." Gu Chenyu analyzed calmly. If he was like this, then this man should have died within the past three hundred years.

"What? That's a bit scary. The people in the palace are very secretive and are unwilling to share any secrets with us in detail. If there are strong people who can easily kill celestial beings here, then our safety will not be guaranteed."

Gu Chenyu's mouth twitched. What are you afraid of, the reckless Lin Xiu? His face was clearly a little excited. He wanted to kill the enemy above his level.

"Don't worry, we should be fine, but how can the people in the palace know so many things? This is a bit suspicious."

Lin Xiu said indignantly, Xiao Tian also hesitated for a moment, then said: "Brother Batian, have you ever come into contact with a kind of insect?"

Gu Chenyu's expression changed. Have they also come into contact with the soul-nourishing insects?

Lin Xiu's expression also changed. Why did Brother Xiao bring up this? Aren't you afraid that the secret will be exposed?

There was silence in the air, and the three of them kept silent. They were naturally willing to reveal some of their own secrets.

Gu Chenyu summoned a soundproof cover. He originally thought that this thing would only gather dust in the storage bag, but he didn't expect that he could still take it out and use it now. Just as he was about to speak, he still felt that something was inappropriate, so he took the hands of the two and took them underground using the earth escape method.

"Brother Batian... I don't like men." Lin Xiu broke away from Gu Chenyu's hand. At this moment, they were in an underground river, looking at the scenery around them with some curiosity.

"Don't talk nonsense, Brother Batian must have his own deeper meaning for doing this." Xiao Tian looked at Gu Chenyu with a serious expression.

Taking out the sound transmission array again, Gu Chenyu even isolated the jade hairpin and the souls in his body. He took out the soul-destroying needle in his body and removed the last seal. The golden needle appeared in front of the two.

"This is a seventh-level soul-destroying needle. I have also encountered the bug that Brother Xiao mentioned. Without this soul-destroying needle, I might have been possessed by another spirit."

Gu Chenyu had a look of fear on his face. He even took out a lot of soul-nurturing insect corpses from his storage bag. They were as small as hair, and there were more than a dozen soul-nurturing insects stacked together.

"As expected, you have encountered this kind of ancient thing. Lin Xiu and I also encountered these things on Jiulongtai. There were residual souls in them, but we killed them one by one." Xiao Tian's face was heavy. He didn't want to cause murder, but these guys wanted to take over his body, so he couldn't let them go.

"Oh, you two really are. Okay, the three of us all have some secrets, but maybe only brother Batian's magic weapon is the most ordinary. So we actually admire you very much. You almost reached the same realm as us by yourself." Lin Xiu said. He didn't hide it anymore. He was an outsider of the Lin family. He got a treasure by chance, and it contributed greatly to his achievement.

"What are you two doing?" Gu Chenyu pretended to be confused. He thought of himself as an ordinary cultivator, but these two were not ordinary cultivators. They had hidden treasures in their hands.

"Well, some things can't be explained in a short time, but we both admire you anyway."

.........

"Shut up, you reckless man. Brother Xiao, why don't you tell me more so that I can understand it." Gu Chenyu turned his head and looked at Xiao Tian with a puzzled expression.

"This involves our own secrets, but I can say that this world is not simple. I feel that it hides a big secret. Since Brother Batian has been honest with us, we will naturally not hide anything."

Xiao Tian rubbed his temples, trying to make his mind clearer, but he still chatted with the two of them. They had some inexplicable opportunities.

There was a black sickle in Xiao Tian's body. Deep in his Dantian, the black sickle was emitting black smoke. He thought he was the reincarnation of a demon, but fortunately there was no threat. The sickle was awakened when he was sixteen years old. Before that, he had just joined the sect. His cultivation in the Juling Realm was insignificant in the sect, but after the sickle appeared, he became a genius of the younger generation.

Lin Xiu also had something hidden on his body, a stone, which could teach him many skills. Before he got this thing, he was just an inconspicuous disciple of the Lin family's outer sect.

Gu Chenyu was frowning, as he was the only one who didn't have any precious treasure. Lin Xiu and Xiao Tian naturally had precious treasures. Gu Chenyu also had some envy in his eyes.

"Alas, the things in our bodies can only help us in cultivation, but they are powerless in other aspects. Moreover, we can only become truly strong without relying on these external things. The two of us are also trying our best to reduce our dependence on secret treasures." Xiao Tian said. He has a strong heart, but he is good at using things. Why not use them? At most, he would not use secret treasures to help him in a life-and-death battle.

"So that's how it is. You two have such a great opportunity hidden in your bodies." Gu Chenyu felt a little suspicious. He wondered if these two were telling everyone about it. Logically speaking, if one had a big secret in their body, they shouldn't mention it to outsiders before reaching a certain level. But these two actually told it out loud.

"Let's not talk about your secrets for now, let's talk about that bug. I also encountered it when I was practicing in the Sun and Moon Spring. These bugs survive by devouring spiritual energy and can cultivate soul power on their own. Their grade should be quite high, much stronger than some low-end monsters."

"It is worth mentioning that these insects can nourish the soul and have a long lifespan. Before death, they can even transfer the soul to their offspring, allowing the soul to live forever. This insect is called a soul-nourishing insect. It contains the remnant soul of an ancient time. Once it parasitizes a human body, it will first devour the spiritual power in the human body, and then the soul. Of course, this is the case when there is no remnant soul living in it. A soul-nourishing insect with a remnant soul will directly choose to take over a person's body."

Gu Chenyu told the story slowly. There were too many details that were hard to describe, so he gave a fair explanation: "There was an ancient remnant soul that wanted to take over my body, but my soul-destroying needle pierced its seven souls. After asking it some questions, I killed it, which was a quick death for it."

Xiao Tian and Lin Xiu both gasped. They could only feel the weirdness of the insect, but they knew far less than Gu Chenyu.

Xiao Tian pondered for a while and said, "In Jiulongtai, strange bugs will appear on the sixth floor. Lin Xiu and I have both encountered them and discussed them. We could only sense their danger, but we didn't know there were so many dangers. Fortunately, we killed those bugs in advance."

The three discussed for a long time and then returned to the ground. The ancient corpse was nowhere to be found and some disciples shouted that there was danger. Gu Chenyu frowned and looked at the ancient corpse that had suddenly gone crazy between heaven and earth.

"Without a soul, and without any intelligence, how can the ancient corpse move on its own?"

"Someone is controlling that body?"

Lin Xiu also felt something was wrong and exclaimed, "Is there another expert?"
