Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 619
Chapter 617 Melting into the Earth
“Hmm, why is this Three-Type Mad Demon dissolving?”
Everyone noticed that the Three-Type Mad Demon that Deacon Fang had just casually killed was actually melting like an ice cube, returning to the earth.
Deacon Fang released his spiritual sense and found that it was not just the Three-Type Mad Demon that was dissolving, but also the dead people.
“This is a very normal thing.” He Chong said as a matter of course.
“Humans and Mad Demons gain power from the earth. Of course, they must return the power after death. This is a very normal thing. We call it earth burial.”
Deacon Fang frowned, a little confused about the principle. It was as if the earth had eaten the living being.
Is it a problem with the land, or the Mad Demon?
Deacon Fang turned to the disciples and said, “You’ve neglected combat. The Sect Master has repeatedly emphasized the importance of fully utilizing the training ground, but it remains deserted. This is a perfect opportunity to train you.”
“Go hunt one Qi Condensation Stage, one Foundation Establishment Stage, and one Golden Core Stage demon beast nearby and bring them back. The carcasses must be intact. Go.” “
And Dong Li and Bai Heitu, I don’t know what your relationship is with the Sect Master, and I don’t want to know. Before we set out, the Sect Master emphasized that you should be treated like ordinary disciples. So, go hunt one Golden Core Stage demon beast.”
Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu agreed.
Deacon Fang released his spiritual sense, monitoring the disciples’ every move, a slight frown on his face. Their
performance was dismal. They were fine against Qi Condensation Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage demon beasts, their realms overwhelming them, but against Golden Core Stage demon beasts, they were flustered and at a loss.
Fortunately, they still knew how to unite. If they couldn’t win one-on-one, they could fight two-on-one or three-on-one.
“Dong Li and Bai Heitu’s performance was quite impressive. Even I couldn’t do better than them.”
Deacon Fang pulled a vine from his bosom and pressed it to the ground. The vine grew wildly beneath the ground, charging towards a nearby rabid demon.
The rabid demon was feasting on a recently deceased human, still fading from the earth, when the ground suddenly bulged and a vine sprouted, piercing the demon’s forehead.
Realizing its impending doom, the demon cried out incessantly, the sound reverberating like a celestial sword slashing through the earth, severing the surrounding trees in half.
Deacon Fang recited a scripture, and the vine unfurled, growing from its forehead and piercing its blood vessels, bringing the demon’s roar to a halt.
If anyone were to dissect the demon, they would find no blood vessels, replaced by vines!
“Nascent Soul Stage demon beast found!”
Deacon Fang instructed the vines to drag the demon back, a feat that left He Chong stunned.
This was a Nascent Soul-stage demon beast capable of shaking mountains. Just one could shatter a city gate and cause the fall of an entire city. How could it have met its end so easily at the hands of this master?
The disciples brought the intact mad demon back and reported their findings to Deacon Fang.
“Deacon Fang, what’s the use of these demon beast carcasses? Are we supposed to analyze the cause of their madness?”
Deacon Fang collected the corpses and found the disciples’ question ridiculous. “Analyze a demon beast? We’re the Spirit Plant Sect. Who understands the anatomy of a demon beast?”
“So you’re…” the disciples were confused.
“Of course we should take it back and have it analyzed by professionals. If we don’t understand, then all the sects in Kyushu don’t understand?”
Deacon Fang laughed. “Don’t forget, we’re not backed by the Spirit Plant Sect, but the Kyushu world.”
Upon hearing this, the disciples suddenly understood.
Until now, they had assumed that in other worlds, they could turn to their sect elders for assistance, not realizing they could also seek help from other sects.
Deacon Fang continued, “Traveling to another world certainly serves the purpose of gaining an advantage and training you, but you must remember that the most important goal of exploring another world is to stop the conspiracy of the extraterritorial demons. That’s the first priority.”
“Disciple, remember this.”
“This man has done well.” Jiang Li telegraphed to Bai Hongtu. So far, Deacon Fang’s speech, behavior, and ideas have been flawless.
“I just don’t know if he’s just like that, or if the Confucian curriculum has played a role.”
Deacon Fang led the group out of the dense forest, sending He Chong to collect their reward from the human officials for this exploration. The others, however, fabricated identities and settled down with the human tribe.
“Why don’t we openly disclose our identities?”
“Because we still don’t know the human officials’ attitude towards us, nor do we know their strength. He Chong said it’s been a long time since a Fusion Stage cultivator appeared, but that doesn’t guarantee there aren’t any on the human side.” “
If a Fusion Stage cultivator appears on the human side, and they harbor ill intentions towards us, what should we do?”
“Then ask the sect elders for help?” The disciples realized they had backers.
Deacon Fang shook his head. “The sect elders have a lot to deal with. We can’t burden them with everything. It’ll foster a dependency mentality.”
“Remember, when you’re out in the world, don’t let your backing get you complacent. Be cautious.”
The disciples were still puzzled. “Then why did we tell He Chong the truth? Wouldn’t He Chong report our situation to the authorities?”
“We told the truth so we could gain his trust and get the latest intelligence about this world. As for He Chong reporting to the authorities,”
Deacon Fang pointed to his head. “My spiritual sense has been observing He Chong. He did report our situation to the authorities, but they didn’t believe him.”
He smiled coldly. “Clearly, in this world, small figures have no say, and the human leaders don’t care about their opinions.”
“Let’s go to the library. That’s where the most information is.” Deacon Fang stopped paying attention to He Chong. His priority now was to understand the history and combat capabilities of this world.
Deacon Fang found a dictionary and asked everyone to learn the language of this world together. Before, they had communicated through spiritual sense, but now spiritual sense couldn’t translate when reading.
These disciples were all Jindan-stage cultivators. After Jiang Li, Bai Hongtu, and Yu Yin improved the methods of spiritual consciousness cultivation, Jindan-stage cultivators could also use spiritual consciousness, greatly improving their learning efficiency.
Soon, everyone learned the language of this world.
“I’ll use my spiritual sense to scan the books in the history area. You go to the body refining area and collect the body refining methods of this world. Then we will compile the information and analyze the situation.”
“Yes!”
Deacon Fang pressed his hand: “Keep quiet, this is the library.”
…
“The history of the world is roughly the same as what He Chong said. More than two thousand years ago, this was a world of cultivators, but the level of cultivators was generally not high. The reason was probably that the cultivators at that time were unwilling to share their cultivation experiences, and relied on the transmission between masters and disciples. Once the master and apprentice died, this unique cultivation method completely disappeared.” “
How can we improve if this continues?”
“The demon beasts have too many mixed-bloods and cannot unleash the true power of their bloodlines. Their highest strength is only the God Transformation Stage, but the demon beasts at that time were rational.”
“Later, a human in the Fusion Stage appeared. After the representatives signed a ceasefire agreement with the demon beasts, they disappeared.”
“Some say he ascended to heaven, some say he traveled in space. In short, no one knows where he went.”
