After hearing this analysis, Tieniu also had a look of surprise on his face: "That's why people from the Xuantian Sect came to our village and taught all of us the "Xuantian Qi Training Technique"!"
"The purpose of Xuantian Sect is not to bring us all under its sect, but to wait until we become practitioners, take us back and torture us, so as to extract the 'power of pain'!"
"Not bad!" Chenghuo nodded.
Tieniu continued: "Then... what happened after the villagers mutated and merged into monsters like meat balls?"
"this...."
Tieniu's words made Chenghuo recall those heads hanging on the sacred tree, constantly cursing at him.
From a normal perspective, those are all 'Tao Fruits'.
And after eating Xuantian Sect's "Fetal Building Pill", the "Tao Fruit" will turn into a head, and it can even communicate with Chengshuo.
As for whether the 'Tao Fruit' is real or the head is real, there is no way to tell...
At the same time, he didn't want to tell the difference.
Chengshuo shook his head and said: "I don't know... the villagers mutated, maybe it's also because of the Xuantian Sect, but we don't know the reason."
Most of the mortals in the secret room have lost their human form due to inhuman torture. Even if they are lucky enough to survive, living is a kind of torture for them.
In desperation, Chengshuo and Tieniu had no choice but to take the lives of a group of mortals to help them escape.
Considering that the escaped Xuantian Sect disciples might come in for reinforcements at any time, Cheng Sheng planned to leave after plundering all the valuables.
Tieniu said: "Now that the great revenge has been avenged, I plan to go back to the village first, dig a new grave for everyone in the village, and erect a monument so that they can rest in peace."
He thought for a while and then added: "In addition, after burying the villagers, I want to keep their graves for another year. Do you want to come with me?"
Chengshuo was silent for a long time and said, "I won't go back."
"Okay, it's up to you." Tieniu didn't force it, but just added: "But if you don't return to the village, what are your plans next?"
Cheng Huo said: "I'm going to find a secluded place to hide, and then rely on the spiritual fluid accumulated in the 'Zhang Tian Bottle' to practice hard. When I practice to the point where no one is my opponent, I will go out."
"You." Tieniu was stunned by Chengshuo's words, but he quickly came back to his senses: "I really haven't considered your idea... After I finish guarding the grave, I will also Find a place to retreat and practice, and then come out after you become invincible!"
"Okay, then I wish us both success." Cheng Sheng bowed to Tieniu in a very rare gesture and said solemnly: "See you soon!"
"See you later!"
Tieniu also bowed in return.
After he swallowed the 'Fetal Building Pill' he had collected from the Xuantian Sect, he summoned an 'Auspicious Cloud' magical weapon and flew towards Shenshu Village...
After watching the other party leave, Chengshuo also took a 'fetus-building pill' and flew in the opposite direction to Tieniu on the 'Xiangyun' magic weapon.
It flew like this for nearly a quarter of an hour.
Feeling that the effect of the 'Fetal Building Pill' was about to disappear, Cheng Sheng landed on a mountainous area.
He found an inaccessible mountain col and used his flying sword to dig a temporary shelter two meters deep and one meter high in a hidden corner.
After everything was arranged, Cheng Sheng started practicing here with concentration.
During this period, in addition to expanding and repairing the shelter, he would occasionally go to the river and the mountain forest to hunt some game, or dig some wild vegetables to improve his food...
…
Cultivation has no time.
Relying on the spiritual fluid accumulated in the 'Zhang Tian Bottle', it took nearly a year to survive, and his cultivation level was upgraded from the original mid-stage worship of gods to the late stage of worship of gods, Dzogchen.
It only took less than a day for Chengsheng to go from being a mortal to crossing the threshold of spiritual practice.
It took nearly two months from the early stage of worshiping gods to the middle stage of worshiping gods.
In the end, it took a whole year to practice from the middle stage of worshiping gods to the Great Perfection.
It is not difficult to see that the more advanced a monk cultivates to a higher level, the more time and energy he needs to consume...
Not only that.
After cultivating to the Great Perfection in the late stage of worshiping gods, Cheng Sheng could still clearly feel that even with the help of the spiritual liquid in the 'Palm Palm Bottle', his cultivation level could no longer improve.
He encountered a cultivation bottleneck.
Perhaps due to the completely different cultivation systems, the 'Fetal Building Pill' that Cheng Sheng obtained from the Xuantian Sect could not help him break through this cultivation bottleneck.
Therefore, if he wants to break through to the embryonic stage, he must find another opportunity.
As a last resort, Chengsheng had no choice but to leave this place, ending nearly a year of seclusion...
…
The area around the Ghost Mother City.
On the official road, a carriage drove slowly through the middle of the road.
The carriage was driven by two god-worshipping monks.
Behind the carriage, there were countless mortals wearing shackles.
Perhaps to prevent these people from escaping, the shackles of all mortals' hands and feet were connected together by iron ropes, making a jingling sound as they walked.
one Year.
Since the day of seclusion, Chengshuo has not seen many living people for a whole year.
When I saw this group of people, I couldn't help but stop on the roadside to watch...
"Xu..."
At the same time.
The two god-worshipping monks driving the carriage noticed the unkempt people on the roadside, so they reined in their horses and stopped.
Among the two, the monk in black robe jumped out of the carriage and went straight to Chengshuo.
——After a year of hard training, Cheng Huo not only improved his cultivation to the stage of worshiping gods, but also learned how to control the 'black evil energy' on the body surface.
In fact, these so-called 'black evil spirits' are a very small amount of spiritual energy that escapes unintentionally.
After his cultivation reaches the stage of worshiping gods, he will naturally be able to control the spiritual power in his body and prevent it from leaking out.
In this way, his whole person is no longer enveloped by the 'black evil spirit'.
It makes him look like an ordinary mortal....
On the official road.
The black-robed monk held Chengshu's chin, opened his mouth, looked inside, nodded and said, "Well...the teeth are good, they don't look like they are sick."
After saying that, he turned around and said to another monk: "Senior brother, why don't you take this person with you? Selling one more person means more money."
The senior brother waved his hand and signaled the black-robed monk to help himself.
The latter patted the storage bag on his waist, took out a pair of hand and foot shackles and threw them to Cheng Sheng: "Put them on."
Chengshuo took the shackles and said calmly: "Excuse me, where are your convoy going?"
"What the hell, did I ask you to speak?" Seeing Cheng Huo speak, the black-robed monk slapped him across the face.
"well...."
Along with a sigh, the black-robed monk's hand hung in the air, as if restrained by some invisible force.
At the same time, Chenghuo stretched out his right hand and clenched it into a fist: "I'm just asking for directions, why do you have to force me to do it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the black-robed monk felt an inexplicable and powerful force coming from all directions.
'Click'!
Under the crushing force, his body twisted and he died suddenly...
However, he survived because of the "retrieval of objects from the air" spell, and part of his spiritual power escaped from the body and enveloped his whole body.
"you!"
Seeing that Cheng Huo was suddenly enveloped by the 'black evil spirit', the black-robed monk showed a horrified expression: "Evil?!"
"hey-hey,"
Chengshuo showed what he thought was a kind smile: "Don't be afraid, I'm not a demon... As long as you obey me, I won't kill you."
