I am a fairy

Chapter 305 Beheading the Corpse
"There are insects in the world, they have scales, hair, and feathers."

"Now, which of these five categories do I belong to?"

Deep in the earth.

Inside the wood that penetrates the strata

When he learned the first level of transformation, Taoist Jin Ao transformed himself into a group of tiny insect bodies connected together by silk threads.

It looks like an ant and a silkworm, but they are quite different if you look closely.

At this moment, he was perceiving everything around him with five senses that were not common to ordinary people.

This perception not only did not make Taoist Jin Ao feel inconvenienced, but instead made him feel that everything around him was under his control.

When starting to explore and look for wood in this form.

Taoist Jin'ao felt as if he was trapped in a vast world outside the Nine Provinces.

The tree roots spread infinitely deep in the earth, and the winding roots seem to extend without any rules to any corner you can't imagine.

Then they are connected to each other and transformed into passages, corridors and levels.

When he walked among them, he would occasionally encounter other monsters. It felt like meeting an old friend in a foreign land when he was traveling alone.

And this time.

Jin Ao then recalled a story he had heard from others when he was still a young Taoist priest.

"A dream?"

He remembered the story was about a man who was drunk and was taken to Nanke County of Huai'an Kingdom by two purple-robed messengers to serve as an official. When he returned half a lifetime later, he found that it was all a dream.

The so-called Huai'an Kingdom is nothing more than an ant nest under a locust tree.

At this moment, isn’t the giant god sent by the Heavenly Court just like the purple-robed messenger, and he is like an ant entering the Huai’an Kingdom.

He felt as if he had become part of a myth.

He was unaware of the changes in the sun and moon in the outside world, and he was no longer a human being. He was just walking through a tree from the perspective of an ant.

At this time, three corpse gods emerged from the insect that Taoist Jin'ao transformed into.

"Brother, you are thinking wrongly. Huai'an Country is just an ant nest, and the Xunmu where you are now has truly become a world of its own!"

Taoist Jin'ao looked at the three corpse gods and said bluntly.

"When I reported my merits and faults to the heavens last time, you didn't call me your junior brother, saying that you are the True Lord of Heaven and should not sacrifice public interests for personal gain."

"Open your mouth and call me Jin Ao."

"Now that you need me, just call me Junior Brother."

The three corpse gods are all part of the Three Corpse True Lords, and each one can be seen as the original body of the Three Corpse True Lords. Their duty is to transmit people's words, deeds, merits and demerits to heaven.

However, apart from the fact that he would never violate his divine duties, Sanshi Zhenjun is similar to the Yin-Yang Taoist priests of the past in his daily life.

What I like most is collecting all kinds of strange things.

Even though Taoist Jin'ao has given up his human body, the three corpse gods are still living on his body, observing and monitoring his every word and action.

Three Corpse Gods: "It's not me who needs you, but the Heavenly Court that needs you."

Jin Ao: "What do you mean?"

Three Corpse Gods: "Not only do I want to see what you have experienced in this Xunmu, but even the heavens want to know. This is also a big deal for the heavens."

Jin Ao: "Then you can watch it!"

That's it.

Jin Ao walked in this huge tree with the body of an ant, and the Three Corpse Gods followed him to collect data all the way.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Palace was also sorting out all the information about Xunmu, and it was becoming more and more complete.

day to day.

Taoist Jin'ao didn't know how long he had been traveling in this tree in his insect form.

I just felt that the tree worms I controlled were broken down in waves, and were replenished in batches.

It is like the plants and living creatures in the world going through birth, aging, sickness and death generation after generation, but he is no longer experiencing it all from a personal perspective, but observing it all from a high above with the perspective of heaven and earth.

Sometimes, after watching for a long time, he felt as if he had entered a wonderful state, starting to become indifferent to everything and indifferent to everything.

Birth, old age, sickness and death, the passage of time, love and hate.

Everything seemed to become unimportant as the insects replaced each other generation after generation.

"Could it be that this is how the immortals view the human world and the people of the world?"

Taoist Jin'ao felt as if he had changed, but he was in the midst of it and didn't know what had changed.

Until one day, their consciousness suddenly separated from their transformed insect bodies, and they saw the giant spirit who had been leading and giving orders.

Jin Ao looked at the giant spirit and seemed to understand something.

"Already finished?"

The giant spirit nodded and said.

"Ah."

Taoist Jin'ao thought that the Xunmu had already been conceived, but he didn't expect that the giant spirit continued to speak.

"This root has been cleared and connected. Now we are going to the next place."

Then, the god and devil stretched out his hand.

The light at the fingertips flows, lighting up and then going out.

As the light flickered, passages of "scripture" entered their minds, and the other party taught them another kind of change.

Then, their original insect bodies were abandoned and merged into the Xunmu.

A large amount of data began to transfer to the distance, continuously transmitted along the roots of the connected Xunmu, and arrived at the next terminal.

When Taoist Jin'ao opened his eyes, he found that he had changed into another form.

However, the insect body that was abandoned by everyone was not discarded.

Instead, it moved on its own and began to run on their behalf.

Imitating everything they had done before, and then continued to operate within these roots.
-

The transformation that Taoist Jin'ao learned this time was to transform into a hibernating dragon.

What they had to do was to wind around the roots of the tree they were looking for and lead the way forward.

Connect one of the dragon veins of Kyushu with Xunmu.

Subsequently.

Let the countless mysterious forces on the ground come in, and eventually they will invade the tree and become one with it.

At this time, his senior brother showed up again.

Three Corpse Gods: "How do you feel?"

Jin Ao: "It feels almost the same as when I was an ant, walking through the darkness every day, just a little bigger and a little smaller."

"But when I am in this darkness, without the sun, moon, stars, plants, or living things, how can I tell whether I am big or small?"

"It seems that whether it is bigger or smaller, it doesn't make any sense."

The Three Corpse Gods took a look at Jin Ao and said, "Brother Jin Ao now looks like a true Taoist. He is no longer anxious and stubborn, and has a bit of the demeanor of an immortal."

Taoist Jin Ao was only thinking about his own business: "How big is this Xun tree?"

Another day, a passage between the lower and upper levels of a stratum was opened.

Afterwards, dense and dark water surged from the upper surface into the darkness below.

It was as mighty as an ocean wave and rushed into the empty Xunmu.

Then it took over Xunmu's body, making Xunmu partly complete.

And at the same time.

Taoist Jin'ao also felt the size of part of Xunmu through this connection.

At this moment, Jin Ao vaguely understood some of the answers to questions he had once asked himself, about the size of the tree.

"In the past, I thought that the distance of a thousand miles for a tree to grow was just an imaginary number. Now, it seems that even saying that it can grow ten thousand miles is underestimating the distance of a tree."

"The nine provinces are all within it, and its roots extend deep into the sea."

“And this isn’t the end.”

Taoist Jin'ao had just finished sighing and thought he had seen the true size of Xunmu.

At this time, the voice of the giant spirit came.

"We are no longer needed on the upper level."

"It's time to go to the next level."

Afterwards, Taoist Jin'ao began to change again.

It turns into a piece of data and is transmitted to deeper layers of the earth.

In the following years, Taoist Jin'ao's appearance changed again and again.

Sometimes, he turned into a strange underground aerial root tree, connected with the tree and replaced its growth, allowing its broken parts to gradually connect together.

Sometimes, he transformed into a giant water turtle and swam in the undercurrent.

Sometimes he transformed into an ancient mythical beast, running under the magma and fire.

Sometimes, he even transformed himself into a seemingly invisible airflow, shuttling through the invisible tiny cracks underground.

The art of the 72 Earthly Transformations gave him the ability to truly go to heaven and earth.

And in the process.

Taoist Jin'ao also understood that the breadth of this tree, not only covering thousands of miles, exceeded his expectations.

And the depth of its penetration into the earth was beyond his imagination.
-

A fire that is fierce enough to turn fine iron into mud and water.

A scene like purgatory.

Taoist Jin'ao transformed himself into a small white turtle that looked like a ceramic sculpture, quietly soaking in the raging lava.

like a statue.

As if falling asleep.

Even among the fellow practitioners who practiced the Seventy-two Earthly Transformations together, only a few were able to succeed and reach this point.

Other fellow travelers either died due to disasters along the way.

Or the contact is suddenly severed and no trace can be found again.

Buried deep beneath these nine earths, it will never see the light of day again.

Suddenly.

The Three Corpse Gods appeared in Jin Ao's vision and sat beside him. "Junior Brother Jin Ao!"

"Now that you have mastered the Seventy-Two Transformations of the Earthly Fiends, what insights do you have?"

Taoist Jin'ao said nothing, as if he had really fallen asleep.

However, the Three Corpse Gods could feel the changes in his mind and the changes in his thinking within the man-made demon brain.

Even so, that thinking is no longer human thinking.

The 72 Earthly Transformations brought all kinds of changes to Taoist Jin'ao, endowing him with unimaginable magical powers, and allowing him to experience the world through the eyes of different lives time and again in various bizarre life forms.

When the feeling is over.

The world in the eyes of Taoist Jin'ao had already changed into a different appearance.

“Everything in the world is constantly changing and has no fixed form.”

"I am like the flower and the mist, changing all the time."

"One day, I will become someone else and no longer be myself."

"Life and death are but a kind of change. Flowers turn into mud, mud gives birth to plants, and everything in it is constantly changing. Life gives birth to death, and death gives birth to life."

"Everything is just a change."

When Taoist Jin Ao was asked the question by his senior brother Sanshi Zhenjun, he recited.

“The flower is not a flower, the fog is not a fog.”

"Come at midnight and leave at dawn."

"It comes like a spring dream, and leaves like a morning cloud, nowhere to be found."

The same things that happened to Wuzhiqi in the past also happened to Taoist Jin'ao. After losing his human form, he no longer felt pain, joy, or obsession, and also lost all desires.

Taoist Jin'ao seemed to have truly transcended everything, like an innate sacred being.

He was no longer moved by any external objects, and gradually turned into a stone sculpture there.

But at this moment, the Three Corpse Gods spoke slowly.

"Love, hate, and vengeance are nothing but things that come with the body, and they are meaningless."

"The body is nothing but an external object, a meaningless thing."

"Life and death are changes, and they are meaningless things."

Then, the Three Corpse Gods questioned the Taoist Jin Ao.

"So what does it matter?"

Taoist Jin Ao: "Everything is meaningless."

Three Corpse Gods: "Then why did you come all the way here? To make everything you have become meaningless?"

Taoist Jin Ao slowly opened his eyes: "That was me yesterday, not me today."

The Three Corpse Gods laughed loudly, as if the other party had fallen into his trap, and they were very proud.

"Since you are meaningless today, why not give everything back to you yesterday?"

Taoist Jin'ao suddenly realized and opened his eyes.

That look seemed to have crossed time in an instant and returned to the past.

Thinking back on what had happened to him, Taoist Jin'ao was shocked.

"How could this be?"

"How could this be?"

It is very clear that the three corpse gods have always been parasitic on the body of Taoist Jin'ao.

“This is the calamity of longevity.”

"Although I helped you get through it today, one day you will encounter this disaster again."

"If you cannot understand this calamity and realize the great truth, one day you will be reduced to a handful of dust or a piece of stone under this calamity."

"No matter how powerful your magical powers are, or how strong your spells are, they are useless."

Taoist Jin Ao was very worried: "I never thought that even with such a powerful spell, I couldn't get the fruit!"

The Three Corpse Gods said: "That's why Danhe made a great wish. Do you want to learn from him?"

Taoist Jin Ao said: "What is this method of his? He clearly learned it from the ancient great power of the demon race."

Although it is said on the surface that Dan He's method is not original, but when Taoist Jin Ao said this, it meant that he was unwilling to learn his method.

However, facing such a terrifying calamity of immortality, Taoist Jin'ao was also very worried.

If I continue like this, I'm afraid I'll end up like that again one day.

Who knows.

Will the Three Corpses True Lord’s method work next time?
The most terrifying thing about this disaster is that it comes silently like the spring rain, and even if you notice it, you will inevitably become like that in the end.

Daoist Fellow Jin'ao was so worried that he even delayed the decree from Heaven, until the giant spirit appeared and informed him that it was time to move on.

Suddenly, Taoist Jin'ao had an idea.

Taoist Jin'ao looked at the Three Corpse Gods and laughed heartily.

"I have another idea."

The three corpse gods appeared and asked: "What method?"

Taoist Jin Ao: "Since I couldn't bear the catastrophe of immortality, I finally lost my sense of good and evil and turned into a stubborn stone."

"Then I can just keep cutting out my good and evil and transform them into an incarnation, right?"

The Three Corpse Gods were shocked after hearing this: "Aren't you afraid that you guys might start fighting among yourselves?"

Taoist Jin Ao shook his head and said, "I have read Dan He's immortal scripture. If you want to become a human immortal, it's fine. But if you want to become an earthly immortal, you have to build a cave heaven and blessed land formation."

"Everyone cultivates the Great Dao together, and finally abandons selfishness and seeks the Heart of Heaven and the Heart of Dao."

"With one heart and one mind, we can obtain the fruit of immortality and learn the mysteries of heaven and earth together."

"When you reach this state, you can no longer distinguish between you and me."

Although Taoist Jin'ao seemed to be dismissive of Taoist Danhe's immortal scriptures, he had actually read them many times and studied them in depth.

"If so, no matter how many incarnations I create, they will eventually merge with me and become the same Taoist Jin Ao."

"We are all the same, how can we fight?"

"When these incarnations merge into me, they will also continue to slash out their own good and evil."

"In this way, my attachment to good and evil will continue to flow, forever reincarnating in this world, and will never be erased."

"Isn't it beautiful?"

Taoist Jin'ao laughed loudly, and seemed to think that his method was really brilliant.

After hearing this, the Three Corpse Gods did not understand whether Taoist Jin Ao had truly become enlightened.

Or maybe his move just now seemed to have cured Taoist Jin'ao, but in fact, this guy had gone completely crazy.

However, the Three Corpses True Lord is not a normal person either.

After hearing this, Sanshi Zhenjun also laughed and nodded in praise.

"Junior brother, you finally got it, didn't you?"

Taoist Jin Ao shook his head and said, "No, no, I am not as good as you by a tiny margin. Actually, this method was inspired by your Three Corpse Gods!"

The Three Corpses True Lord shook his head fiercely: "No, no, no, even though I have millions of incarnations, in essence, there is only one me."

"But your method is different. There are as many different you's as you kill. It's much more powerful than my method."

Taoist Jin'ao was very proud.

After saying this, the Taoist cut off his obsession on the spot.

He gathered all his memories, emotions and personality about his obsession with becoming an immortal into the magic weapon, the Wushi Vine, and cut it out of his body.

The magic weapon Wu Chi instantly split a lot of matter from Taoist Jin Ao's body, transformed into a human figure, and stood beside him.

Taoist Jin'ao was not polite at all and spoke to the incarnation of obsession.

"Hurry and find the Jianmu tree, ascend to heaven and worship the Emperor of Heaven, make a great wish and become an immortal."

"I am going to carry out the decree of the Heavenly Court and will be back soon!"

The incarnation of obsession nodded, then fled away.

Taoist Jin'ao laughed loudly and went deeper into the bottom layer.

"Dan He cultivates the path of ruthlessness."

"As for me, Jin Ao, I will follow the path of compassion!"

The phantom of the Three Corpses True Lord stood on the shoulder of the real body of the Golden Ao Taoist. Although he was very impressed by the wonderful ideas of his junior brother, he couldn't help but feel a sense of weirdness.

The changes in Taoist Danhe were beyond his imagination, and the changes in Junior Brother Jinao were also completely incomprehensible to him.

Each one was crazier than the other, which made him feel ashamed of himself.

Think about it.

Perhaps, it is because he follows Shinto, and the concept of good and evil is integrated into Shinto for thousands of years without changing.

The two junior brothers took a different path, which is why such a big change happened!

Dainichi Shrine.

Jiang Chao was playing chess in the fairy palace, while in the distant corridor, fairies were walking in the mist with fluttering sleeves.

The person playing chess with him was Wangshu, but both of them seemed to be distracted from the chessboard.

Wangshu teased him again, "I think the method of Taoist Jin'ao is great. Isn't the great god Yunzhong also reluctant to give up his obsession with good and evil? Do you want to learn it?"

Jiang Chao had a blank expression on his face: "Yeah, great!"

Wangshu raised his head: "Want to learn?"

Jiang Chao said again: "I won't learn."

This method of Taoist Jin'ao is essentially no different from the brain array method of becoming an immortal on Earth Immortal Avenue.

The only difference is some differences in the process.

For some reason, the method of Taoist Jin'ao, which seemed to be compassionate, ended up looking even more evil than the method of Taoist Danhe, which was ruthless.

Wangshu looked very regretful, but the angle of her lips revealed her intention to tease Jiang Chao.

Jiang Chao asked again: "Have you found the host?"

Wangshu finally got down to business: "It should be not far away. I have found some traces."

As the gods, demons and monsters who practiced the 72 transformations of the Earthly Fiends went deeper and deeper underground, Jiang Chao and Wangshu were indeed getting closer and closer to the basic reality network host.
