Chen Dengming laughed at himself, regained his mood, and walked towards the cave.
His nose had already picked up the aroma of spiritual vegetables and rice as well as a familiar scent of spiritual fish soup wafting from within the cave.
Upon smelling this familiar and rich fish soup, Chen Dengming was moved and couldn’t help but think back to his humble beginnings during his gatherings in the Southern Region.
Back then, the fish soup was made with few ingredients, preserving the purest flavor of the fish itself.
The slices of fish were delicate and smooth, retaining their original taste.
Now the taste of the fish soup has changed.
Have people’s hearts also changed?
...
Chen Dengming walked with his hands behind his back, frowning in thought, questioning himself once again.
This kind of introspection often occurred to him, which might be the reason why he was able to inherit the spiritual legacy of the Human Immortal Dao System…
…
A few days later.
In Chen Dinghai region, at the depths of a continuous hidden valley, mysterious and eerie murmurs were emitted from the valley.
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.
The valley was surrounded by mountains on all sides.
Looking across the whole valley, there was only one narrow path leading downhill.
The path was filled with lush plants, colorful flowers, and trickling streams, quiet and inspiring.
A row of humble wooden houses came into view in the depth of the valley.
In the open spaces in front and behind the houses, many cultivators wearing evil masks were gathered in a circle, at the center of which was a large bonfire.
A tall altar was erected above the bonfire on which several men and women were under control and bound, making struggling whimpering noises.
These people were chanting together and the air was filled with a peculiar aura, creating a sacrificial atmosphere.
Night was gradually falling, and the sacrifice was reaching its climax.
The crackling sound of the roaring fire cast long shadows on the masks, making them look chilling.
Moonlight pierced through the clouds of the valley, shining down, casting a kind of eerie dread that felt peculiarly unsettling.
Yet, it didn’t affect the fervor of these fanatical cultivators.
After the sacrificial ceremony, the cultivators on the high stage bizarrely ended up as a pile of dry bones.
Some masked cultivators picked up the bones and took them deep into the forest in the valley.
Many of the masked cultivators stayed behind in the wooden houses to keep a vigil, as if they were guarding some secret deep within the forest.
Faint howls that sounded like winds roaring and waves crashing could occasionally be heard from the mist deep in the forest.
Under the moonlight, a huge shadow seemed to pass by, creating an unsettling atmosphere.
Tens of miles away, Jade Cauldron True Monarch Ye Yong and a heavenly immortal incarnation of Chen Dengming were hidden in the clouds, watching the valley, filled with mystery and hidden dangers, with their divine senses.
Ye Yong’s expression was solemn.
He had a vague feeling of a weird and fierce aura coming from deep within the valley, as if a powerful demonic beast was lurking.
He couldn’t help but look at Chen Dengming.
“Taoist son, it seems there might be a ferocious lurker in that valley.
I’m not sure what kind of power it has.
Should we report it or explore further?”
Chen Dengming had already transferred his consciousness to the incarnation for a peek at the action.
In the past few years of secluded cultivation, he would sometimes enter the incarnation when he was bored to take a break from the monotonous cultivation state and have some fun in the outside world.
But hearing Jade Cauldron True Monarch Ye Yong’s question, he was speechless.
That Jade Cauldron True Monarch was quite interesting.
The main task was obviously his, and it was nice that he had brought an incarnation along.
To his surprise, he was asking for advice from his incarnation, as if he was the primary one here.
Chen Dengming’s incarnation glanced at Jade Cauldron True Monarch, his eyes indifferent.
He put on the attitude of ‘I’m just an incarnation, I don’t have feelings, don’t ask me’.
Having encountered a snub, the Jade Cauldron True Monarch was embarrassed and confused, “No, but I remember your incarnation was quite active in past, is there a plan you can’t discuss?…..”
Chen Dengming glanced at Jade Cauldron True Monarch and responded indifferently, “The command given by my master is to cooperate with you, to sacrifice myself to protect you in case of danger.
You make the decisions on everything else, I can’t give correct advice.”
The Jade Cauldron True Monarch was moved to hear that, at his willingness to sacrifice himself to protect him, even if it was just an incarnation.
He felt respected and cherished by the Taoist son.
“Let’s probe first.
These demon cultivators are not only abducting other cultivators but even ordinary people, and conducting such evil sacrifices.
I wonder what they’re up to…”
…
In West District of Evergreen City, there’s a mixed district of loose cultivators.
An oppressive and strange atmosphere brewed in the depths of the old alley, and a cold wind hit faces directly.
A small single-door house in the depths of the alley half-opened the door, the lamp behind the window paper was dim, barely illuminating few steps, adding some eerie atmosphere.
The surrounding low-rising houses were all empty, with talismans posted on the windows and doors of each household and a layer of evil-warding spirit salt sprinkled.
In the alley not far away, a dozen people huddled together, terrified, watching the situation of the house.
In the crowd, a young girl with sweet looks, bright eyes, and teeth peeping out looked quite noticeable.
She too stared nervously at the situation ahead and whispered.
“Are there really ghost messengers coming out to hook souls?”
Loose cultivators gathered around, also quite nervous, said, “Yes, truly, several people have gone missing in just these few days.
Last night, Baigouzi encountered one, behaving as if he had lost his soul, he left the city and went into the sea on his own.
Baigouzi tried to persuade him but the man was crazed.
