Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 669 Corpse Mountain, Peaches of Immortality

At the same time, Shang Lu had another question in his mind.

Recently, a large number of secret realms have been created. Could this also be related to killing and sacrifice?

If this is true, then the world is very likely to fall into the Dark Ages again, and start another kind of "cannibalistic cultivation"!
Not only Shang Lu, but the other cultivators also had solemn expressions, clearly having noticed something amiss.

But they just looked at each other, not daring to say or ask any questions, for fear that if they said anything out of turn, they would follow in the footsteps of the previous cultivators and become part of the Jingguan altar.

Soon, Shang Lu and his group, led by Yin Shu, arrived at the center of the city.

This place used to be the location of the government office of Hailing Island.

The government office still exists, but it is covered by a layer of writhing flesh, exuding an eeriness and terror.

Among the cultivators, those skilled in feng shui and formations immediately recognized that the location of this flesh and blood government office was precisely at the center of several Jingguan altars.

If the entire Sea Spirit Island was set up as a grand sacrificial array, then this Flesh and Blood Office was the core of that array.

Someone secretly performed hand seals, using techniques like the "Divine Eye" to observe the government office.

Yin Shu and the academic officials were completely unconcerned about this action—they believed they had a firm grip on these cultivators, so it didn't matter if they saw through anything.

Seeing this, Pokeweed also secretly activated its Mind-Clearing Eye.

After being injured, the power of the Mind-Clearing Eye did not weaken; on the contrary, it increased significantly after the injury was healed.

With just one glance, Shang Lu could tell that this government office was less covered in writhing flesh and blood, and more like a festering sore.

A festering sore connecting the real world to a cursed place!

"The entrance is a festering sore? Could this so-called ominous place actually exist within a divine corpse?" Shang Lu wondered to himself as he quickly scanned his surroundings.

He remembered that those people from Tai Mo Academy had said that the stone tablet was found around the corpse of the god.

If the entire haunted site is filled with the corpses of gods, then where were the stone tablets and other artifacts found?
Near the government office, now turned into a festering sore?
Or has the area surrounding Sea Spirit Island become a dead city?
Just then, Yin Shu took out several documents from his sleeve.

Shang Lu, with his sharp eyes, caught a glimpse of the words written on it.

This is actually a "dead book".

It is a "death certificate" used in rituals after a person dies to send them to the underworld.

Is this ominous place related to the underworld?
Shang Lu couldn't help but speculate, but he soon realized that the documents in Yin Shu's hand were somewhat different from the "Book of the Dead." However, before he could examine them closely, the documents flew from Yin Shu's hand, transforming into a streak of light and entering the Blood and Flesh Government Office.

Yin Shu formed hand seals and performed Nuo steps, then shouted in a chillingly sharp tone, "Several dead souls wish to go to the sacred land of the gods. Please accept them, Your Majesty."

The government office had become a festering sore, with flesh and blood churning and bulging. Countless grotesque faces emerged from the pus and rotten flesh, a terrifying and nauseating sight. They stared intently at Shang Lu and the others, their gazes sharp as knives, as if they wanted to dissect them and see them clearly.

A moment later, these ghostly faces all shrank back into the flesh and blood yamen and disappeared.

At the same time, a voice mixed with the screams of countless evil spirits exploded in everyone's ears: "Yes."

Hearing this, Yin Shu visibly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Shang Lu and the others: "Congratulations, you can now head to the Divine Realm Holy Land. Remember, once inside, whatever you see or hear, ignore it and just keep going until you see the Great Nuo!"

After giving some instructions, Yin Shu began to motivate everyone: "Go! This is the greatest opportunity of your lives. Seize it, and you will benefit immensely!"

The cultivators were all experienced and knew very well that besides opportunities, there were also dangers in the dangerous place, and the latter was even greater!
But at this moment, they had no way out and no other choice but to grit their teeth and stride toward the flesh and blood of the yamen.

The black fox had never been to this dangerous place before, but the eeriness of the Blood and Flesh Bureau had already frightened it. It clung tightly to Shang Lu's clothes, following him step by step, afraid that even a half-step away would bring danger.

Soon, the group entered the Blood and Flesh Bureau.

The sticky, slippery ground covered in blood, and the strong, pungent stench in the air, caused even these well-traveled cultivators to feel intensely uncomfortable.

Even so, no one used incantations to activate witchcraft to isolate the filthy blood and purify the stench.

Because they knew very well that once they entered the inauspicious place, they had to abide by its rules.

Now, they are playing the roles of the dead and the undead.

What dead soul or corpse would be disgusted by pus and blood, or averse to the smell of blood?
Moreover, as Yin Shu just said, whatever they see or hear in the ominous place, they should not pay attention to it or care about it.

What they have to do is play the role of the walking dead.

Don't be fooled by the seemingly empty surroundings of rotting flesh. The cultivators know that's just the surface; countless pairs of venomous, resentful eyes are undoubtedly lurking within, fixedly watching them.
As soon as they reveal a weakness, they will become scapegoats and become an integral part of the cursed land!

Shang Lu and the other cultivators were all knowledgeable people, so no matter how uncomfortable they felt, they didn't react at all and just kept walking forward.

Soon, a wall made of flesh and blood appeared in front of them.

There used to be writing on the wall, but it was covered by pus, blood, and rotting flesh, making it invisible. Its presence conveniently blocked Shang Lu and his companions' path.

But neither Shang Lu nor those cultivators stopped moving forward, nor did they turn around or take a detour.

Seeing that they were about to crash into the wall of flesh, Black Fox instinctively tried to stop, but Third Sister pushed him forward and he couldn't stop at all.

Moments later, the first cultivator crashed into the wall of flesh and blood.

But instead of being stopped, he walked straight into the wall of flesh and blood.

No, a more accurate way to put it is that he was swallowed up by writhing flesh.

Subsequent cultivators also crashed into this wall of flesh and blood one after another.

After Shang Lu and Black Fox passed through the wall of flesh and blood, they found that the surrounding scenery had completely changed.

They arrived in a strange, bizarre, and twisted world of flesh and blood.

As far as the eye could see, both the sky and the ground were covered in rotting flesh dripping with pus and blood. Some of the rotting flesh was still wriggling, and there were even huge maggots hiding inside, constantly feeding on the decaying flesh.

The air was filled with a strong aura of death and corpses; there was not a breath of air left, making it suffocating.

Fortunately, the cultivators who came here were all at least at the Mingxin Realm. Even though there was no air in this strange, fleshy, and dangerous place, they could still circulate their spiritual energy within their bodies to prevent themselves from suffocating for a short period of time.

Only the Black Fox lacked cultivation, but its body must have contained some kind of technique left by the Mountain Spirit, which allowed it to endure in this strange dead land, even more so than cultivators like Shang Lu.

The group continued forward while looking around.

This world of flesh and blood, filled with death and corpse energy, made all the cultivators, except for the one who was already following the path of ghost cultivation and corpse cultivation, feel extremely uncomfortable. Many even felt that although they had concealed their own vitality, after entering this perilous place, both their vitality and cultivation level had been eroded and polluted, constantly deteriorating and declining.

Soon, the cultivator who followed the path of ghost cultivation and corpse cultivation also had a similar feeling.

However, the degree to which they are affected is less than that of others.

The only exception is pokeweed.

He had previously visited a rotten and ominous place in Xingshan, which was quite similar to this place, so he did not feel any discomfort.

His identity as a ghost messenger actually came into play at this moment, not only preventing him from being corroded and contaminated by the death energy and corpse energy, but also seemingly allowing him to control these powers...

This discovery delighted the pokeweed.

On their journey, the cultivators encountered many vengeful ghosts, walking corpses, and maggots that looked fat but had terrifying mouthparts.

Perhaps because of the deathly aura and corpse energy emanating from them, these ghosts had absolutely no interest in them, not even a second glance.

Especially those terrifying maggots, which only cared about gnawing at the rotting flesh and pus here.

Seeing this, the cultivators breathed a sigh of relief, but dared not do anything against the rules. They simply followed Yin Shu's instructions, ignored everything, and hurried forward.

However, this ominous place, filled with death and flesh, is very strange, constantly twisting and changing.

For example, what was clearly an open field before them, with a blood-and-flesh dome overhead as high as the sky, and the surroundings vast and boundless, suddenly changed after only a few steps, amidst the surging blood mist.

The bloody dome seemed to collapse, pressing down on everyone's heads. Suddenly, mountains of bloody flesh rose up all around, surrounding them along with the falling dome, forcing them to bend over and pass one by one, and sometimes even crawl.

This sight, while secretly alarming, also made Shang Lu wonder:

"If the ominous place is indeed inside the god's corpse, then the place we just walked on was the god's chest and abdomen? And now, we've entered its intestines, even its blood vessels? But how can the chest, abdomen, intestines, and blood vessels change on their own?"

"Could this ominous place actually be a 'living creature'?"

A bold guess popped into Shang Lu's mind.

If the ominous place is a "living place," then is the divine corpse... still alive?

Unfortunately, in this strange place, one cannot act rashly, and therefore there is no way to verify all of this.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Shang Lu and several other cultivators finally saw something different from rotting flesh and pus.

A mountain appeared in front of them.

At first glance, this mountain seemed no different from any other mountain. But with his keen observation, Shang Lu discovered that it was actually a mountain of corpses!
It is a huge mountain of corpses, piled up from countless bodies!
At the top of the mountain of corpses, there grows a huge peach tree with its branches twisting and turning like giant pythons and evil dragons reaching towards the sky, poking a hole in the fleshy sky!
On the peach tree hung peaches, and people were moving among them, watering the peaches.

Continuing forward and getting a little closer, Shang Lu finally saw the peach's true form with his spiritual insight.

Those peaches were actually shaped like little babies.

What was being watered beneath the giant peach tree were buckets of severed limbs, rotten flesh, and internal organs mixed with blood.

Once these things were poured onto the branches of the peach tree, countless sharp teeth immediately emerged from the branches, frantically sucking up the blood and gnawing at the flesh and bones.

Other cultivators soon discovered this strange and eerie situation as well.

At that very moment, a sound like thunder exploded in their ears.

"Welcome to the Sacred Land of the Gods. What you see before you are the legendary Peaches of Immortality, which only gods can enjoy. Eating one will not only prolong your life but also enhance your cultivation!"

Immediately afterwards, a figure flew out from the mountain of corpses and arrived in front of everyone in an instant.

An immense pressure swept over everyone in an instant, not only making it hard for them to breathe, but also suppressing the energy within their bodies, making it impossible for them to mobilize it at all.

Everyone's expression changed simultaneously.

This pressure, this aura... it has clearly transcended the mortal realm and entered the realm of gods!
Looking at the person next, wearing a seven-colored Nuo mask and a five-colored Nuo robe, he was none other than the Great Nuo of the Jiang Kingdom!

When did this Great Nuo of Jiang Kingdom actually step into the realm of gods?
Was it because of the gains made in this eerie and dangerous place?!

The cultivators were shocked, but they also became excited.

They no longer felt that this place was eerie and dangerous; they only felt that this place was simply wonderful!
They also wanted to improve and break through to the realm of gods.

However, soon everyone noticed the strangeness of Jiang Guo's Da Nuo – his upper body was still human, but his lower body seemed to have turned into a snake.

The snake was very long, winding its way through the mountains, its end seemingly hidden under the giant peach tree on the mountain of corpses.

No, it's not a snake's body.

Shang Lu quickly discovered that the long, strange lower body of the Jiang Kingdom's Da Nuo did not have snake scales, but was only covered with a layer of bloody mucus.

It looks just like those roundworms and tapeworms that parasitize animals...

Considering the divine power and aura that Da Nuo had just displayed, Shang Lu had a guess in his mind: Da Nuo of Jiang Kingdom had not become a true god, but had instead transformed into a parasitic monster that was absorbing the power of the god's corpse?
No wonder Da Nuo didn't appear at the lecture at Tai Mo Academy.

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he can't.

Having transformed into this bizarre form, Da Nuo will likely be bound to this horrific place forever.

Unless he can completely drain the power of the divine corpse and truly step into the realm of gods.

If that's the case, then this ominous place is indeed inside the corpse of a god.
But what about the corpses, the evil spirits, the mountain of corpses, and the peach tree here?
Shang Lu was filled with speculation, and the other cultivators also sensed something was amiss to varying degrees.

But at this moment, in this place, even if there are speculations and doubts, no one dares to question them.

“These peaches will be available for you to enjoy once they ripen. Now come with me to understand the divine revelation.”

The Great Nuo, who had transformed into a monster, waved his hand, signaling everyone to follow him.

At that moment, the evil spirits, zombies, and strange maggots from the surrounding rotten flesh and blood all swarmed around with bloodshot eyes.

However, they were drawn by Da Nuo's voice and realized that Shang Lu and the others were not inanimate objects.

We're going to eat them!
