Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 587 Wan Tong is confused
Inside the royal palace, the kings and ministers of Chu, along with their loyal followers and retainers, rushed straight to the bedchamber to kill.

Shang Lu and his group quietly followed behind the barbarian tribe, heading towards the northwest corner of the palace, an area shrouded in darkness.

After passing through several palace gardens, the scene before us suddenly changed.

A relatively independent cluster of buildings appeared before them, like the foundation of a battle formation, guarding a strangely shaped small building in the center.

This small building stands out from its surroundings; in fact, it is completely invisible to the naked eye at night.

It wasn't because of the obscuring fog.

Inside the Chu King's palace, there were magical artifacts and formations that could isolate the eerie mist. The eerie mist that raged outside could not even get past the palace walls and into the palace.

The small building is invisible to the naked eye because it possesses an eerie quality, capable of absorbing surrounding light, making it and the surrounding buildings seem to vanish into thin air, leaving only eerie darkness.

If it weren't for the chaotic aura it emitted, which resembled that of the Rotten and Deadly Land, Shang Lu and his group might have really missed it.

But under the discerning eye of a spiritual being, this small building presents a completely different scene!
Shang Lu could clearly see that the surface of this small building was covered with a layer of viscous, writhing, chaotic pollution, like that of living creatures!
It is this layer of chaotic pollution that absorbs the light from the surroundings.

When people "see" this layer of chaotic pollution, it can also cause feelings of dizziness, irritability, and so on...

Shang Lu felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows. This chaotic pollution was actually trying to injure his spiritual mind and insight!

"boom--"

Within the five internal organs of the pokeweed, the mind suddenly glared angrily.

A powerful and fierce "heart fire" shot out from His eyes, instantly sweeping through His sea of ​​consciousness and burning the chaotic pollution that attempted to wreak havoc on His mind to ashes.

The mouse on patrol glanced at him and asked in a low voice, "You 'saw' it too?"

"Yes," Shang Lu nodded in response.

"What did you see?" Lu Yang asked curiously.

His cultivation level was lower than Shang Lu's, and he had not developed supernatural abilities such as spiritual insight. Although he sensed something strange in the darkness, he did not see Xiao Lou, nor did he have the direct "seeing" of Shang Lu and Zi Shu during their patrol.

However, this does not mean that the strange little building was harmless to him, Xu Zhen, Cheng Ren, and even the Judge of the Underworld.

On the contrary, they will be unknowingly corrupted by the chaos of the small building.

By the time they realized what was happening, it was already too late.

"In that darkness, there was a small building, emanating a strong, chaotic pollution, much like a rotten and ominous place..."

Shang Lu quickly explained the situation and reminded everyone: "Stay true to your principles and don't let yourselves be corrupted without realizing it! Use all available magical artifacts, talismans... don't be careless!"

Seeing Shang Lu's serious expression and Zi Shu Xun Shou's nod of agreement, Lü Yang, Xu Zhen, and the others dared not be negligent and immediately activated the Mind-Stabilizing Mantra and Mind-Enlightening Technique they had learned.

As the rat was patrolling past a cluster of houses, it suddenly raised its hand and grabbed at something in the air.

With a muffled thud, the door of a house not far away was flung open, and several trembling eunuchs were pulled out by him from a distance using his witchcraft.

"Sir, spare me! Sir, spare me!"

The eunuchs did not recognize Shang Lu and his companions. Seeing that they were wearing armor, they assumed they were members of the "rebel army".

The shouts of killing echoed throughout the palace. Although the eunuchs were hiding far from the Chu King's bedroom, they could still hear words like "slay the demon king" and "rectify the court."

They weren't stupid; they naturally guessed what had happened and all huddled inside their houses to hide. But they never expected that the "rebels" would still capture them.

The rat on patrol shouted, "Shut up! Stop howling! I ask, you answer. If you dare utter a single falsehood, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The eunuchs were so frightened by his murderous words that they quickly swallowed back their cries and pleas for mercy, nodding vigorously.

The Rat on patrol raised its hand and pointed towards the dark area that swallowed the light: "What kind of place is that?"

Although the eerie little building was not visible in the darkness, the monks knew that the "rebels" were asking about that place, and hurriedly replied, "Sir, that is Guixu Tower, the place where the King cultivates."

"Return to the Void? The final destination of all things? Ha... what a boastful tone!"

Shang Lu sneered, especially when he thought of the strange sights in the Rotten and Deadly Land. He became even more certain that the King of Chu named the place where he cultivated "Guixu" because he wanted to devour the Rotten and Deadly Land and everything in the world.
The Rat on the Hunt continued to demand, "What kind of mechanisms and restrictions are hidden inside the Guixu Tower?"

"This...this...we really don't know."

"The King never allowed us to approach Guixu Tower, nor did he allow us to inquire about its contents. We have never seen anyone who has been to Guixu Tower since."

"We are telling the truth and dare not deceive you, sirs. We are just the lowest-ranking eunuchs and we really don't know the situation inside the building."

The monks, each offering their own explanation, were unable to clearly describe the situation inside Guixu Tower.

They were also puzzled. Why were these rebels interested in the Guixu Tower instead of the palace's inner treasury? Did they want to steal the treasures the king used during his cultivation?
"A bunch of trash!"

Zishu, the hunting scoffed, but didn't make things difficult for the eunuchs. He continued, "Is the King in the tower?"

Several eunuchs shook their heads repeatedly: "His Majesty only comes here when he is cultivating; he doesn't stay in the building at other times."

Is anyone else in the building?

There were indeed eunuchs who knew about this: "A few days ago, the Crimson Moon Witch King went to the palace to meet the King, who summoned him into the Guixu Tower, where he has not yet come out."

Zishu Xunshou and Shanglu exchanged a glance, understanding each other perfectly. Since the Crimson Moon Witch King was in the Guixu Tower, then their Ba Kingdom's Grand Master of Ceremonies and Grand Master of the Barbarians were most likely trapped inside as well, becoming the "tonic" for the King of Chu's cultivation and longevity.

"Get out of here. If you want to live, stay inside and don't come out no matter what noise you hear."

With a wave of his hand, the Rat Patrolman summoned a whirlwind that lifted the limp eunuchs and carried them back to their hiding place, closing the door and isolating them from the outside world.

The bodies of these eunuchs had long been corrupted by the Guixu Tower, drained of their life force. Even if they managed to survive tonight, they wouldn't live much longer. "Although the King of Chu isn't in the Guixu Tower, we still cannot let our guard down. That tower surely harbors many dangers."

The mouse on patrol whispered a warning, and at the same time saw the group of barbarians rush into the darkness like moths to a flame. As the flame was consumed, their figures disappeared without a trace in an instant. He hurriedly called out, "Follow them! Let's see what path they can make!"

Everyone nodded in unison and hurried toward Guixu Tower.

Cheng Ren had been holding his listening ear upright, but after the barbarians broke through the defensive magic array of Guixu Tower and forced their way in, he could no longer hear anything.

The bizarre Guixu Tower not only devours light but also swallows up sound.

Fortunately, Shang Lu and his team had other ways to find out what was happening inside the building.

Paper figures, copper ants, and Gu worms... were all released by them and slipped into Guixu Tower through the gate that the barbarians had forcibly broken open.

The situation inside was reported back to Shang Lu and others in real time.

"How is it? What's the situation inside?"

Lu Yang specializes in swordsmanship and has no means to investigate the situation inside Guixu Tower. He can only rely on his eyes and ears, but he can't see or hear anything, so he can only anxiously ask questions.

Inside the Guixu Tower, the barbarians seemed to have stepped into a bizarre hell.

Even the paper figures, copper ants, and Gu worms that Shang Lu and his group sent in were mostly killed or injured in an instant.

In particular, Xu Zhen's Gu worms all mutated and died suddenly.

He himself suffered a backlash because the Gu worms had contaminated him.

"puff--"

A mouthful of black, foul-smelling blood spurted from Xu Zhen's mouth.

On multiple parts of his body, fist-sized pustules suddenly swelled up without warning, with hideous granulation tissue writhing wildly inside, emitting a chaotic and filthy odor.

A bizarre turn of events!

Xu Zhen was eroded by the chaotic evil energy that backfired when the Gu worm died!

Lu Yang reacted extremely quickly, pointing his fingers like a sword and unleashing sword energy to strike several pustules on Xu Zhen's body, imprisoning the chaotic evil energy within and preventing further spread and erosion!

Cheng Ren then took out a pill and poured it into Xu Zhen's mouth, while activating his witch energy to help him refine the medicinal properties and resist the pollution.

"So many eyes..."

Xu Zhen's face turned pale. He took the pill and immediately began to cultivate his internal energy to expel the chaotic evil energy that had invaded his body.

He then quickly described what he had seen inside the building through the help of the Gu worms:

"This building is filled with countless eyeballs!"
The walls, beams, floors, dome... they're all filled with eyeballs!

Human, animal, or even indescribable eyeballs!

Now all these eyeballs have come to life, releasing countless eerie gazes that envelop the entire Guixu Tower...

These gazes possess a power to confuse and ensnare, driving people into chaos and madness! I see that most of those barbarians have fallen for it, succumbing to a bizarre transformation!
The moment my Gu worms entered, they were corrupted, becoming chaotic and frenzied, even attempting to devour their master. Luckily, I reacted quickly enough and forcibly destroyed them; otherwise, I would have ended up like those barbarians!

When Xu Zhen described the situation inside the building, her voice trembled, clearly still filled with lingering fear.

The fact that Wei Wu was in such a state shows just how strange and eerie the scene inside was!

Compared to Xu Zhen, Shang Lu and Gongshu Ling are in much better condition.

Although the paper figures and copper ants they released were also affected by the chaotic mind of the myriad eyes in the building, the paper figures were imbued with the divine power of pokeweed, and the copper ants were products of mechanical arts, which minimized the impact of the myriad eyes' chaotic mind.

In addition, Shang Lu and Gongshu Ling both possessed strong mental resistance, which allowed them to withstand the effects of Wan Tong's chaotic mind.

Even Gongshu Ling's witch armor emitted a slight buzzing sound, followed by a surge of witch energy that quickly condensed in front of everyone, transforming into a light screen that reflected the scene inside the building.

The scene reflected in the light screen made Lü Yang and Cheng Ren gasp instantly.

The entire interior space seemed to be made up of millions of wriggling, blinking, strange eyeballs!

This scene is no longer just shocking; it's a powerful visual shock that makes people very uncomfortable.

Even just watching through the light screen caused Lü Yang and Cheng Ren to feel dizzy, nauseous, and indescribably irritable! It felt as if countless sharp needles were pricking their heads!
The situation was even worse for the barbarians who stormed into Guixu Tower.

Most of the barbarian warriors had ferocious and twisted faces, with veins bulging all over their bodies!
They roared, desperately channeling their inner power to form layers of blood-red totem halos on their bodies, attempting to resist the erosion and contamination of the eerie gaze.

But the results don't seem to be very good.

Although they themselves were not yet insane, their skin and flesh kept bulging out, with countless strange bulges moving and colliding wildly!
It was as if something alive was struggling beneath their skin!
This is their natal witchcraft, which, after being corrupted by chaos, has gone mad and is now turning against its master!

Several barbarian warriors with lower cultivation levels had their totem tattoos explode.

One after another, ferocious and monstrous Gu worms tore through their flesh and skin, emerging from their internal organs and bones, and began to devour their flesh and blood!
But these barbarian warriors did not stop them at all.

Because they, too, have gone mad!

Like a hungry beast, it roared and pounced on its companion beside it.

They tore their comrades apart and devoured their flesh!
