Guixu Immortal Kingdom

Chapter 54 Golden Sand Moon Pattern
After a quick glance, he collected all the surrounding mummy corpses again and placed them into the black hole. These corpses were useless; leaving them would only pollute the environment and become an eyesore, having no intrinsic value. Of course, the weapons scattered in their hands were still useful. Each one was no ordinary weapon, capable of breaking through life force fields. He couldn't use these weapons himself, but leaving them for others wouldn't be bad.

Inside the homeless camp, many people were fighting with weapons they had obtained from the disaster soldiers, which was the only way to break through the life force field.

Otherwise, ordinary people would be no match for the calamity soldiers and beasts, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

After collecting the corpses and leaving the weapons behind, without giving it much thought, Liu San let the black hole refine the mummies on its own. Baxia turned around and attacked the other mummies again. Wherever it went, batches of mummies were killed one after another. Later on, Liu San stopped releasing the ground spikes.

Using one's innate abilities consumes one's vital energy and spirit. Before fully entering the threshold of cultivation and being able to mobilize one's blood and qi, the number of times one can use them is limited. If one truly exhausts one's vital energy and spirit, then one will only faint on the spot.

After a few attempts, Liu San obediently picked up a bone spear, saw a mummy nearby, and stabbed it.

It's not that I can't release my energy, but rather that I'm saving it for crucial moments to save my life.

Once the mummies in the camp lost the Pharaoh's control, they immediately descended into chaos, attacking the survivors indiscriminately. Their lack of coordination made the battle much easier. With the suppression of firearms and the Guardian Lantern, coupled with Baxia hunting down and blocking most of the mummies outside, the situation quickly reversed.

Unbeknownst to them, all the invading mummies had been cleared away, and various corpses were scattered all over the ground. The number of mummies alone exceeded one thousand. During this process, any nearby mummies were absorbed into Ji Tianhao's black hole and were being devoured and refined.

"The Muddy Wanderers Camp originally had thirty-four people. Eight died. Twenty-six remain."

"On the survivor side, there were originally 312 people, 87 of whom died, leaving 225 people."

"Many of the bodies are no longer available. They were probably dragged directly into the quicksand by those mummies and can never be found."

The various reports and statistics sent chills down my spine and filled me with a sense of desolation.

"Human life is worthless here."

Hu Youni murmured softly.

“Every day, the Ruins of Return capture a large number of lives from the myriad realms. In addition, many of the lives that die in the myriad realms fall directly into the Ruins of Return. The population here can continue to increase even without natural reproduction, so there will be no problem of population shortage. However, whether one can survive after falling into the Ruins of Return depends entirely on one’s own abilities. Generally speaking, those who can survive one Calamity Month after officially setting foot in the Ruins of Return are truly qualified to live in the Ruins of Return, and they will be very popular wherever they go.”

Liu San was already used to this; death was just a common occurrence in the Ruins of Return.

Those who survive become companions; those who die become nourishment for the void.

Only those who survive one month of calamity are considered qualified to adapt to the Ruins, or even to survive.

Pity and grief have long been buried deep in my heart.

After counting their numbers, Liang Hongguang and the others entered the camp with a Calamity Treasure Chest. Cai Honglong's side also had a Calamity Treasure Chest. The number of Calamity Soldiers they had killed was considerable, naturally generating loot.

How to allocate the funds is their own business.

Ji Tianhao wasn't envious; he had a Calamity Treasure Chest on his side. How much he could get from it depended entirely on his luck and the number of Calamity Soldiers he killed.

They collected the scattered mummies from the camp and returned them to Baxia's back. A group of people gathered together, staring at the Calamity Treasure Chest.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ji Tianhao opened the treasure chest.

Click! !
With a crisp sound, it was clear that the treasure chest had been opened.

A flash of light appeared, and a pile of Guixu Coins, shimmering with black iron light, appeared inside the treasure chest.

"I'll order, one or two."

Hu Youni, full of interest, took over the counting work, stacking them together in groups of ten, and soon, she had accumulated a total of forty-three stacks.

"A total of 430 Guixu coins. I earned 430 coins from this battle."

Hu Youni looked like she hadn't had enough; the feeling of counting money was just too wonderful.

Make people want to stop.

"How to divide it?"

Qi Lin also spoke with great anticipation.

“Brother Ji should take the lion’s share. If it weren’t for Baxia Dragon Lord, we would have faced countless dangers, let alone fighting enemies. We might not even be alive today. We can divide the rest among ourselves. I don’t want any of it. I didn’t contribute much anyway.”

Su Yue's eyes lit up, and she made a suggestion.

“That makes sense. Hao-ge should take the lion’s share of the spoils this time, and we can split the rest. As for not wanting it, that won’t do. We’re all part of the team now. We can contribute less in battle but more in peacetime. Let’s split it equally.”

Hu Youni's eyes lit up, and she made a suggestion. "Old Ji, you take two hundred and thirty, and the remaining two hundred can be split equally among the four of us, fifty each. Without you, none of us would get that amount. If you don't take it, how are we supposed to get it?"

Qi Lin grinned and pushed twenty-three stacks of the paper in front of Ji Tianhao. The rest were divided into four portions.

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Upon hearing this, Ji Tianhao didn't dwell on it too much. It was just a few Guixu coins, nothing serious in the future. If he could earn this now, he would only earn more later. He felt perfectly justified in taking the money.

After putting away the Guixu Coins in front of him, he also saw that the black Calamity Treasure Chest was becoming ethereal at a visible speed, seemingly dissipating and merging into the world.

Upon seeing it, he instinctively put the Calamity Treasure Chest into the black hole.

As soon as it was absorbed, the black hole trembled slightly. The next second, the entire treasure chest was swallowed and refined by the black hole. Then, it turned into a golden, quicksand-like light and fell into the singularity space.

Immediately, within the space, the Kunlun Jade Plate also conveyed an instinctive desire, directly swallowing this special radiance and letting it fall onto the jade plate. Sure enough, a golden sand moon pattern mark exactly the same as that in the outside world's Guixu appeared on the jade plate, and the crescent moon was exactly the same as that in the outside world. The two merged together, perfectly natural, showing no signs of being created later.

At the same time, it was observed that the operating speed of the black hole within the body doubled. This increase meant that the process of the black hole refining its internal matter also unsurprisingly doubled compared to before. This was undoubtedly an unexpected and pleasant surprise.

Most importantly, as the black hole operates, it naturally begins to absorb the moonlight from the ubiquitous Golden Sand Moon in the void, drawing the moonlight from the void. This moonlight from the Golden Sand Moon naturally converges towards the Golden Sand Moon pattern on the Kunlun Jade Plate. This mark is like a bottomless pit; no matter how much moonlight there is, it is all absorbed, and no one outside can sense it.

This process proceeded entirely naturally.

As the black hole rotates, it naturally absorbs and releases the power of the calamity moon from the outside.

"Absorbing a morsel of Calamity Treasure Chest has actually caused new changes in my talent. The Kunlun Jade Disc is too mysterious, far more mysterious than I imagined, producing one change after another. However, these changes do not seem to have any negative effects and should be beneficial to me. Being able to absorb the power of the Calamity Moon outside, although I cannot see what it will bring me now, all the power of the Calamity Moon is gathered in the Calamity Moon Mark, but if it continues, there will definitely be changes."

Ji Tianhao pondered to himself, this change, at least, did not seem to have any bad aspects.

What specific changes will occur will become known sooner or later in the future.

This unexpected turn of events left him momentarily stunned.

Then you see that the essence that appears on the jade plate is gray, giving people a strange sense of coldness.

"This is the essence of death. These mummies are dead things. Apart from the power of the calamity moon, the most important thing is the death aura and corpse aura in their bodies. It is only natural that they can be refined into the essence of death. This and the essence of life should be two extremes. One contains pure death aura, and the other is pure vitality."

It's unclear what kind of changes will occur when these two are combined.

He plans to give it a try when he has time.

After the battle, the sky grew even darker. Those who were still alive after the battlefield was cleared were quietly preparing to rest.

Under the month of calamity, the attack of the calamity soldiers each night will most likely only occur once. After surviving this attack, the rest of the night will most likely be peaceful. In this situation, take the time to rest and prepare for the crises that will come tomorrow.

Conserving energy and building up strength is the most important thing.

Ji Tianhao also took out the python tent again and set it up on Baxia's back, while Su Yue and Hu Youni climbed inside immediately.

Just kidding, only a fool would sleep outside if they could sleep inside a tent.

In terms of comfort and safety, there is absolutely no comparison.

Of course, nothing much was done inside.

After a battle, one's spirit is always easily exhausted. Listening to the faint cries and groans of pain in the camp, one gradually falls asleep.

Around dawn, Ji Tianhao woke up once, left the tent alone, and continued a new round of cultivation outside.

Each crisis only intensified his desire to become stronger.

As soon as his mental strength was restored, he immediately began cultivating without hesitation.

After practicing twice, the total number of times he practiced reached nine.

While he was cultivating, two pairs of eyes were already silently watching him from inside the tent.

After finishing their cultivation and returning, those two eyes closed again.
