Lonely Immortal
Chapter 732: Getting Closer
This palace was filled with demonic energy, but it seemed to be in a festive mood, which was a bit out of place. The demons did clean up the bones around them, but they seemed to be busy celebrating the mountain god's wedding and had no time to care about the situation here.
But in Zhang Zhiwen's eyes, this palace was made of bones, with a large number of skulls inlaid on it. These skulls kept struggling and wriggling with the demonic energy, as if they were trying to break free from the palace.
Looking over, each of these skulls looked extremely painful. Obviously, this was the people eaten by the demon who were imprisoned here and turned into resentment. These resentment and desires were intertwined and turned into a powerful demonic energy.
Although it was silent, Zhang Zhiwen could clearly feel the bloody smell of these things, but Zhang Wensheng and his people did not have this feeling. They entered the palace, and Zhang Zhiwen followed them in.
Zhang Zhiwen was actually a little strange. Speaking of which, Zhang Wensheng and he were both in the state of ghosts. Could this demon still trap ghosts? But thinking that the monster used a magic spell, which is also a kind of magic, and this magic spell can confuse people's consciousness and trap them alone, it seems reasonable.
So, the group entered the palace.
After entering, there were more monsters here, but most of them were chores, responsible for setting up a banquet for their king. Some were sweeping the floor, some were setting the table, and some were busy cleaning and peeling. As for what skin to peel, it was obvious that it was all human skin and human flesh.
They waved the chopping knife and chopped pieces of human flesh. This monster was quite particular. He didn't eat it raw, but planned to cook it. Of course, there were also monsters responsible for cooking. The fire over there was quite strong, and the meat was put into the oil pan, making a sizzling sound, which made people shudder.
After Zhang Zhiwen followed Zhang Wensheng and others in, a monster came out from the side and shouted at them, "Hurry up and help set up the stage!"
This monster looked like a human, but his fangs were very eye-catching. When he spoke, his fangs were exposed. Zhang Wensheng and others nodded and bowed to accept the order, and Zhang Zhiwen followed behind.
Soon, everyone came to the center of the palace. No one knew what to do here. The lights were brightly lit all around, and a group of monsters were busy, but many monsters were responsible for vigilance. They were holding guns and spears, and they looked no different from a group of small monsters on the mountain.
This was the first time Zhang Zhiwen had seen this situation. It was similar to what the storyteller said, except that these monsters were originally people, not transformed from monsters. Monsters are not monsters, but monsters are monsters. They don't all eat people, and many of them practice through the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Zhang Zhiwen then realized that some of the stories he had heard before, about white snakes, snails, and other folk legends, were originally about monsters. Monsters can only transform into human forms after going through tribulations.
In addition, there are people who have heard of the Dragon King. The Dragon King is not a monster, but a demon, because the Dragon King also ate people, and Zeng was transformed from a human, and they all have names.
It's just that people in later generations regard them as some kind of divine beasts, but in fact, it is not the case. The real divine beasts are divine creatures such as the Azure Dragon and the White Tiger. This is the framework of Taoist words, while demons are more of the framework of Buddhist words.
Of course, those are all secular sayings, but there are some references, and Zhang Zhiwen knows that these demons are no different from the little demons on the mountain mentioned by the storyteller.
At the beginning, he felt very strange. It is clear that a white snake needs to practice for thousands of years to transform into a human form, but look at the years of practice of those little demons on the mountain. How many years is that? A few decades is good.
How can it transform into a human form in decades? At least the monster beasts can't do it at all. Only the cultivators who were originally human beings, when they stepped into the abyss of desire and had evil thoughts, the monster spirit was generated, and when the monster spirit was generated, they turned into little monsters.
It's no wonder that many little monsters are very weak and are easily killed by the monster slayers. Otherwise, how can the transformed monster beasts be killed by ordinary people?
Just like the weasel that became a spirit, he was afraid of the farmer's hoe? If the weasel really cultivated into a human, it would at least reach the realm of overcoming tribulations, and it would take at least thousands of years to cultivate.
But how could the weasel mentioned by the storyteller cultivate for thousands of years? This is clearly impossible.
It's impossible for a weasel to transform after decades of cultivation. Human cultivators who have cultivated for decades are only at the Qi Refining Stage, or even at most at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
This level of cultivation is not considered a great immortal, right? And the weasel dares to call itself a great immortal after becoming a spirit? This clearly shows that the storyteller does not understand the real situation.
The real situation is that this weasel is a monster. He was originally a human monk, but his desires were too strong. If he did not become a demon, he would become a monster. As a monster, he would eat people, and he would not steal chickens or something like that.
As a monster like a weasel, what monster would seduce a decent woman? This is clearly impossible.
Of course, these are all fleeting thoughts in Zhang Zhiwen's mind, but these thoughts are reasonable and well-founded. With these thoughts, he can further determine what these monsters are.
Obviously, these monsters are transformed from monks, so in essence, they are not much different from monks.
As long as he understands this, Zhang Zhiwen will not worry too much about other things. After all, he still encountered these things within the framework of cultivating immortals, not some bizarre things in the Yin-Yang world, which do not exist.
My dear, there is more to this chapter, please click on the next page to continue to read more exciting things!
In cultivating immortals, controlling souls and even dominating souls are common, and they are not bizarre things. For example, the souls of Zhang Wensheng and others are being controlled at the moment, which is nothing at all.
But souls are not physical objects after all, so why should they be driven to do things here? You can let the physical body come here, but Zhang Zhiwen soon understood that the demonic energy here is so strong that the physical body will die soon if it comes in.
Then only the souls will not be affected, and after the souls of Zhang Wensheng and others come in, they can move freely. Under the blessing of the demonic curse, they can also be busy. Sure enough, Zhang Wensheng and others started to get busy.
Zhang Zhiwen naturally followed behind and pretended to help, setting up a stage in the center of the palace. This stage was probably used for performing operas. It must be said that this mountain god was quite ostentatious. He still had to follow the secular path to marry a relative. It can be seen that this was clearly a monster transformed from a human being. What was retained were all human customs.
Not long after, the stage was set up, and then many actors came in costumes. As soon as he saw these actors, Zhang Zhiwen knew that they were all ghosts, and they were all controlled by the mountain god. It seemed that the mountain god could control ghosts.
These actors went on stage and started to sing. Zhang Wensheng and others went to set up chairs, tables, tea, etc. Zhang Zhiwen also followed suit, but he was observing the situation around him while setting up.
He found that some monsters came one after another, and the sound of singing and drinking began to come from outside the palace. It seemed that the kings of some places had come. After entering, these so-called kings were really the monster leaders of other mountains.
These monster leaders looked very impressive, and they came in with big strides, followed by some followers. But overall, these monster leaders looked like country gentlemen, with big bellies and wearing brocade and silk. If they were not monsters, no one would really tell.
Obviously, the higher the level of the monster, the more it looks like a human. After these monster leaders came, they sat down and watched the show.
Zhang Zhiwen followed Zhang Wensheng and others to get some food and drinks for them, but these food and drinks were all human flesh and blood. Zhang Wensheng and others even got their corpses and flesh, which surprised them.
But there was no way. Their corpses had been chopped up by these monsters and were torn into pieces. Only the head was still intact. They held these things to offer to these monster leaders.
When the monster leaders saw these things, they also reached out their hands to dip in the blood, and then put them in their mouths to taste.
"Well, fresh, fresh, haha, the mountain king is really generous!"
"Yes, in previous years, no one was as generous as the mountain king at the wedding banquet!"
...
The leaders of these monsters actually boasted that the human flesh was fresh enough. It was said that the human flesh had been cooked, but the cooks over there seemed to know the preferences of these monsters and deliberately made it half-cooked, even bloody.
This was to try something new, and Zhang Wensheng and others who watched these monsters tear off their heads and flesh and put them into their mouths were so scared that they dared not raise their heads.
This was an extremely scary thing. After they came in here, they were no different from a chicken entering a slaughterhouse. Looking around, they saw the flesh and blood of the same kind of corpses, the smell of blood, and the blood everywhere.
These monsters ate their flesh and internal organs right in front of them. They dug out a bunch of internal organs and stuffed them into their mouths, making smacking sounds while eating, and even gnawing on bones, making a crackling sound. This was even more terrifying than a slaughterhouse.
At least humans would not eat raw food, nor would they tear off their internal organs and flesh and stuff them into their mouths in front of chickens and ducks. Humans would at least cook them before eating, which was at least better, but these monsters just ate them alive.
Even Zhang Zhiwen felt extremely nauseous after watching this scene, but at this point, he still wanted to see who this mountain king was, and why Qingyao appeared here, and why she became the person this mountain king wanted to marry.
All of this was waiting for him to watch, so he honestly served these monster leaders by the side, he was not in a hurry, and these monsters did not notice anything different about Zhang Zhiwen.
However, while Zhang Zhiwen was serving these monsters, he was thinking about other things, especially about the problem between his cultivation and the secret realm.
This time, his soul was out of his body, but his body was indestructible. Obviously, no matter where he was, his soul and body were indestructible, unless there was an external force attack, but now it seemed that there was no such situation in the secret realm.
But this was not the fundamental problem. The fundamental problem was that since his Yuanshen was indestructible, could he break free from the shackles of the secret realm like the Yuanying cultivators?
Yuanying cultivators have the power of Dharma, so they can easily see through the realm of illusion, but Zhang Zhiwen doesn't seem to be able to do that. Obviously, he only has a powerful Yuanshen and a physical body, but this kind of strength is passive, not active, and he can't actively see through the realm of illusion.
If this is the case, then his Yuanshen can still return to his physical body at this moment?
As soon as Zhang Zhiwen thought about it, his body actually began to slowly become virtual, which made him understand that he could return to his physical body anytime and anywhere.
This made Zhang Zhiwen feel relieved, but he didn't plan to go back now, because in the case of the physical body, he couldn't find this place. The demonic energy here was soaring and repelled his physical body, just like the polluted land. Unless there was a crack, otherwise, under normal circumstances, human cultivators could not enter the polluted land.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page for exciting content!
The same is true here. Unless there is a crack in the barrier of the mountain god, Zhang Zhiwen can't come in here.
The reason why he can come to this place now is entirely because he is in the state of Yuanshen. In this state, can he use Taoism?
Zhang Zhiwen tried it a little, and he found that he could not use Taoism. In the state of Yuanshen, the spiritual power has nothing to rely on, and his cultivation is directly deprived. He is completely in the state of soul. In this state, he has no means to use.
So for this problem, Zhang Zhiwen is still a little helpless. If he can come with his physical body, he can kill this mountain king directly, but he can't do it now. Once he returns to his physical body, he can't find this mountain king, but if his soul leaves his body, he can't do anything with this mountain king.
If he wants to pass this level now, he must break through the secret level of the mountain king, which seems to be a contradictory thing.
No wonder this secret realm requires Yuanying cultivation to break through. This is very obvious. Yuanying cultivators can see through the realm of illusion, so they can naturally find the hiding place of this mountain king in the first time, and then they can kill this mountain king.
Also, this is a realm of illusion. Zhang Wensheng and others who appeared around him were not real at all. Even Lin Mingyue and others were not real. They were all transformed by demonic energy to interfere with Zhang Zhiwen.
So if that's the case, whose flesh did the mountain king eat? Whose flesh and blood did these monster leaders eat? Isn't that an illusion?
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiwen felt that he seemed to be close to solving the mystery, as if he was just a little bit away. Once he uncovered the key to this layer, he could break through this secret realm!
