Phoenix in Nirvana: The Unrivaled Waste Against the World

"Yes, that's what it means. The sacred tree will bear fruit only when the destined person is finally chosen.

The sacred tree will give the fruit directly to the destined person, so it’s not that the people in the City Lord’s Mansion don’t want it, but that the people in the City Lord’s Mansion can’t get it either. ” The servant nodded.

"But, in such a public occasion, the result is that this thing is given to this destined person in such a public occasion. Isn't this obviously letting others snatch it away?" Ning Siyue was puzzled.

"Well...how should I put it? My grandfather said that although this is inappropriate, it may also be the last test given by the sacred tree.

It is not only about having a destiny, not only about getting it, but also about keeping it. If you cannot keep it, then you have no destiny.

But my grandfather also said that every time the sacred tree bears fruit, it is the most tragic time. Most of the people who come here die here, after all, the resurrection fruit can be snatched away later.

Not many people can keep their original intentions in front of the treasure, and some who don't want to participate can only be forced to participate.

Every time this time comes, Soul City is a bloodbath, everyone is killing like crazy, the whole ground of Soul City is red!" The servant said, still feeling frightened.

"It seems that this sacred tree is not as 'kind' as imagined!" Ning Siyue sneered.

“My grandfather said that the sacred tree is spiritual and it would never let useless people get its fruits.

All of this was carefully arranged in order to select the final capable person to swallow his own fruits.

All living things in the world, including living things, worship the strong as the supreme. Even a small fruit of resurrection cannot avoid it.

Although the Huisheng Fruit is a good thing, it has also brought about the most bloody and heavy scenes several times, which people cannot let go for a long time. "The servant's face was full of emotion and nostalgia.

“Your grandfather is right, but even if the world of immortal cultivation is not for the resurrection fruit, it is not a peaceful world.

I also heard that recently, 80% of the people in Soul City will not go out again. I heard that you have seen the Soul Catcher, is it true?" Ning Siyue continued to ask.

"Soul-catcher, hush...

"My two guests, I have told you that you must not say these words again!" the servant said hurriedly.

"Why? Rumor has it that the whole continent knows about it, so why is it still so taboo here?" Ning Siyue smiled.

“It’s not a taboo, it’s just that the city lord forbids us to say it.

There are already many bad rumors in Soul City, and now the matter of the Resurrection Fruit has also caused everyone to talk about it.

If there is any more soul-catcher, and even people in our city start to say so, Soul City will really be infamous in the future.

And that’s not all. If you call the Soul Catcher in Soul City, he will really appear!

"Oh... Bah, bah, bah, I didn't say that, I didn't say that!" The servant suddenly realized something.

"You are a cultivator after all, how dare you be afraid of these ghosts and gods?" Ning Siyue became interested.

"Is it true? There are always people who don't believe in it, but it's true, it really appears at night!

Sir, I'm not joking, someone saw it with their own eyes.

It...it was in shackles, and the shackles made noises when it walked. It always seemed not far away, but it was right in front of me in the blink of an eye.

And the deaths of those people were extremely horrific, as if... their souls had been sucked out of them!

It's more like someone has sucked the soul out of his face, and his whole face is like... I don't know how to put it, it's just pretty scary.

My grandfather said that I must not tell anyone. It would be so horrible to have my soul sucked out alive!" The servant shook his head in horror.

"Is it really extracting the soul? Extracting the soul doesn't mean waiting for someone to die and then extracting the soul from the body.

But the soul itself cannot be retained after death, but extracting the soul... this... goes against the principles of nature.

Although the Soul Catcher is a messenger from the underworld and is indeed somewhat contrary to our human world, it is only because humans and ghosts have different paths.

But the underworld also has its own rules. Even if the soul-catcher is incompatible with the human world, he is still subject to the control of heaven.

The soul-catcher should not do things that go against the will of heaven, and he should understand that one day he will be punished by heaven.

"Souls flying away is probably the lightest punishment. Otherwise, if the underworld is allowed to do such evil, it will only disrupt the order of the human world and cause suffering to all living beings." Ning Siyue said puzzledly.

"We don't know about that. How can we find out about the affairs of the underworld?

As for the underworld, Soul City has already caused enough controversy. If the Soul Catcher is involved, it will cause a big trouble.

Besides, if it wasn't for the Soul Catcher, who would do such a thing? To extract a soul alive is not something an ordinary person can do!" The servant shook his head.

"Has anything unusual happened recently?" Baili Shun asked.

The servant thought about it and shook his head, "I don't know, it seems that there is no more.

What happens in Soul City is different every day. As you know, most of the people who enter Soul City cannot leave alive.

Most of them died while fighting for the fruit of life, some had their souls sucked out for unknown reasons, and as for the rest, there should have been many such fighting and killing incidents in other cities.

Therefore, the Soul City is extremely lively, and most of the troubles are caused by fighting for the life-resurrecting fruit.

It's special, it should be on the fifteenth day of every month, when a red crescent moon appears in the city, remember not to go out."

"Red crescent moon? Why?" Ning Siyue was puzzled.

“I heard that if a red crescent moon appears on the fifteenth of every month, it means the gate to the underworld is open, and it is the day when ghosts from the underworld return to the human world to look for their relatives.

Originally, it wasn't a big deal, but because my Soul City is close to the underworld, a large number of ghosts are clashing, and it's very likely that the souls of humans will be taken away during the collision.

By then, there will be quite a few people who have lost their souls, and some may even be taken out of their bodies directly. If they cannot return to their bodies in time, the outcome can be imagined.

So if you see a red crescent moon, you must hide at home.

In an inn like ours, there are Buddhist talismans from the Holy Buddha outside, which can prevent those ghosts from entering the inn." The servant explained.

"Holy Buddha Sect? Then why not invite people from the Holy Buddha Sect to stay here permanently? Or invite the Holy Buddha Sect's large formation?

Being close to the underworld, isn't the Holy Buddha interested?" Ning Siyue asked with a smile.

“I heard that they went to invite people, not to mention Soul City. If you take a look outside while they are busy, you will see that many people have brought monks from the Holy Buddha Sect with them!

Isn't it because they are afraid of this kind of thing, so...no one from the Holy Buddhist Sect came, but many of their disciples came here.

But the disciples of the Holy Buddha Sect are indeed quite capable. When they chant a mantra, it seems to sound different, and the whole person feels a lot more cheerful." The servant said with a smile.
