My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

The corrupted demons are indistinguishable from humans during the day, but at night they transform into bloodthirsty beings, hunting everywhere.

The evening beast hides during the day and lurks in the darkness at night to harm people.

These are collectively known as evil spirits. The reason why these evil spirits did not completely disrupt the city is because of the existence of the guardian deity. As long as they stay at home at night, they are protected by the divine power of the guardian deity, and these evil spirits cannot enter the house to harm them.

But now, the evil power has bypassed the divine protection and directly invaded Wu Sanshi's home.

This illustrates that the problem is already quite serious.

After all, in any country, the majority of people are not practitioners.

The power of the guardian deity is the ultimate protective force; it is formed from the most beautiful emotions in people's hearts.

The weakening of the household guardian deity can also be interpreted as a loss of goodness in people's hearts.

Or perhaps despair has blinded the beauty in their hearts.

After a moment, a female ghost dressed in red appeared, her face contorted with bulging veins, looking exceptionally ferocious.

"Wu Sanshi, hand over your son."

A shrill sound rang in Zhao Xuan's ears.

"Qingyu, why bother? When will this cycle of revenge end? Wu San is innocent. You have already taken the lives of Wu Da and Wu Er. The feud between the Wu family and you should be over," Zhao Xuan said, looking at the red-clad female ghost.

"My revenge is over, but what about my parents' lives? What about my brother's life? Is he innocent, even more innocent than my sister?" The red-clad female ghost's voice grew increasingly shrill, and her already ferocious face became even more grotesque with the two bloody tears streaming down her face.

"Sigh." Zhao Xuan sighed, and opened his palm, revealing an illusion.

In the illusion, a city is filled with a hundred ghosts roaming at night, and some people mingle among them, even happier than the ghosts.

The illusion emitted a suction force, drawing the red-clad female ghost inside.

After the red-clad female ghost entered, she looked at the humans mixed among the hundred ghosts and let out a shrill roar. Her red clothes fluttered as she pounced on those people, killing them in the most painful way.

Then he rushed towards the hundred ghosts and killed them in the same way, and once again, a ghost king who looked like a god appeared above the hundred ghosts.

When only the red-clad female ghost remained in the illusion, the blood and tears on her face began to dissipate, and the bulging veins on her face also began to disappear. Her red dress, which resembled a wedding gown, transformed into a white dress.

She stared blankly at her hands, only her once-white palms were now stained with indelible blood.

As if noticing Zhao Xuan's gaze, the illusory female ghost looked at Zhao Xuan outside the illusion, knelt down, and asked, "God, was I wrong?"

"The blue lotus grows from filth, and the jade root brings you fame. Without enduring the hardships of life, how can one know whether it is worthwhile?"

"Qingyu, is the mortal world worth it?"

"Qingyu is unaware."

"If you don't know, you don't know. Go."

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Xuan created a black vortex, into which the illusion and the woman flew.

"Come out," Zhao Xuan said, looking at the room. Zhao San and Qingqing pushed each other as they slowly came out.

"And you are?" Zhao San hesitated for a moment, then asked softly.

"You don't need to know who I am. Zhao has already sent people to rescue you. Just be careful and wait for Zhao's rescue." Zhao Xuan glanced at the two of them.

A streak of light flashed by, and Zhao Sanshi's body suddenly went limp.

When all beings are ignorant, and evil spirits appear in tombs, human cities cannot withstand them.

Instead of trying to resist, these people offered sacrifices.

Qingyu was the first person to be sacrificed.

Her father and mother were beaten to death by the government for disagreeing with her, and her younger brother was also killed by evil spirits while trying to save Qingyu.

Only the younger sister was left. Without the protection of her family, she was also starved to death at home.

After Qingyu died, her soul was not taken away by the City God. Instead, it became a ghost due to her resentment. It continuously devoured and absorbed resentment in the city, and other weaker ghosts slowly became fierce ghost gods.

There are three types of ghosts: those born in the Netherworld are called Heavenly Ghosts.

Living beings die unaware of their fate, and those burdened by lingering attachments become spirits or ghosts.

The lingering soul absorbs resentment and becomes a ghost, known as a vengeful ghost.

The difference between having a ghost body and not having a ghost body lies in whether or not one gains the approval of the underworld.

Even vengeful ghosts belong to the ghost race, which is equivalent to having a registered household.

He could then abide by the agreement between the human race and the underworld and live among humans.

Only after understanding cause and effect should one proceed to the Netherworld.

However, when vengeful spirits understand cause and effect, they also constantly create new causes and effects, making it very difficult for them to go to the underworld.

He was eventually killed by human cultivators because of his excessive killings.

The Book of the Underworld records that when a person dies, they become a ghost; when a ghost dies, it becomes a demon; when a demon dies, it becomes a rabbit; and when a rabbit dies, it becomes a barbarian.

Yi is actually the spirituality within the spiritual energy, while Xi is the spirituality that gathers without self-awareness.

The spirit is a spiritual aggregate with only instinctive consciousness. The spirit can further learn and enhance its self-awareness, which is the soul.

The essence of life can coalesce into flesh and blood.

The vital energy can be gathered into a spirit.

The unity of soul and spirit, combined with the physical body, creates all kinds of living beings of flesh and blood.

A ghost is something that only possesses a soul and spirit.

The process of humans and ghosts transforming into each other in the "Youming Jing" is the process of returning to the origin, and conversely, it is the process of creation.

The spirits and deities in charge of the underworld are called "魙" (a type of spirit), whose instinct to maintain order prevails.

Xi represents order itself; the Way of Heaven, the Way of Earth, and the Way of Humanity are the three greatest orders in the universe.

Yi Ze regarded it as the Great Way, the foundation of all ideologies.

People are afraid of ghosts because ghosts can take away people's flesh and blood.

Ghosts are afraid of demons, because demons can steal a ghost's self-awareness.

The demon fears the barbarians, for the barbarians will take away the demon's consciousness.

Yi feared Xi, for Xi would take away everything Yi had.

For example, the balance between clear and turbid states is what constitutes order.

It represents the will of the barbarians, and all beings below the barbarians must follow this order.

The guardian deities are also called "monsters," which is why they can ward off evil attacks.

Wu Sanshi's eldest and second sons stole Qingyu's grain back then.

Therefore, Qingyu's targets for revenge included Wu's eldest and second sons.

Qingyu seeking revenge against them was entirely within the bounds of the Daoist tradition.

Therefore, the power of the guardian deity will not stop it.

But in the process of seeking revenge, Qingyu gradually lost control.

The families of Wu Sanshi's eldest and second sons were also affected, and the scope of their revenge was extended to the entire Wu family.

Wu Sanshi had once stopped Qingyu from offering sacrifices and also stopped his two sons from stealing grain. Therefore, Qingyu, who still had a sliver of her own will, did not kill Wu Sanshi directly.

A hundred ghosts roam the night, and some people mingle among them, even happier than the ghosts themselves.

The Hundred Ghosts are all kinds of corpse demons and monsters, and the two sons of the Wu family are people mixed in with the ghosts.

The gods above the hundred ghosts are the royal family and nobles of Han Kingdom, and it is they who caused the current situation.

Without their foolish vanity, the current situation would not have arisen.

Therefore, Qingyu's targets of revenge include not only those who directly killed her and her family, but also the corpse demons, monsters, and the royal family and nobles of Han Kingdom.

Zhao Xuan fantasized about avenging Qingyu, but he himself was trapped in karma, leaving behind indelible sins and eternal suffering.

Ultimately, the question of whether life is worth living is a question about life itself, and also a question about the suffering one must endure.

Qingyu's statement that she didn't know meant that her hatred had wavered.

Zhao Xuan then sent her to the Netherworld.

Zhao Xuan's mind once again descended into the body of a believer, and the scene before him was once again the same.

In a city, a fleshy ball made of blood and flesh rolled around, occasionally extending fleshy tentacles to grab running soldiers and absorb them into its body.

Zhao Xuan's current body is a military suit belonging to a man named Yang Lin.

Soldiers in various countries are divided into three categories, one of which is called sergeant.

He is a professional soldier with cultivation.

One type is called military armor.

He is a trained but not a professional soldier.

One type is called "military officer".

It is a general term for logistics personnel and soldiers without formal military training.

Only soldiers and armored personnel appeared on the front lines.

Some countries with no moral bottom line will treat armor as a expendable resource, using it as a shield.

Yang Lin is one such soldier; they were forced to become soldiers to fight against the corpse demons.

The goal is to prevent the corpse demon from being killed, so that it can be fed and then return on its own.

That rolling fleshy ball is called the Flesh and Blood Tai Sui, a type of corpse demon.

Ignorance led their people to perform sacrifices when they encountered confusion.

It means that one will offer sacrifices when encountering things or phenomena that are not understood.

One of them is called Tai Sui.

The Tai Sui looks like a fleshy ball; it's said to be an animal, but it lacks the ability to move and has no self-awareness.

It is described as a plant, yet no roots or stems are visible.

It can still grow on its own after splitting.

It was beyond the understanding of people at that time, so they thought it was food for the gods.

This gave rise to the legend that eating the flesh of the Tai Sui (a mythical creature) could prolong life, even grant immortality, and allow one to be resurrected.

Even now, with the advancement of civilization, some people still hold this view.

In particular, those who are buried seek out the Tai Sui (a deity associated with death) and have the deceased buried with the Tai Sui in their mouth.

It is a metaphor for the aging and death of the human body, but the soul can reside in the Tai Sui and be reborn a second time.

This is just wishful thinking.

Practitioners certainly can.

In a sense, Tai Sui is a physical body in which the essence and vital energy are not residing, and the vital energy and spirit reside.

If one is lucky enough to retain their soul and encounters a high-quality Tai Sui, it is still possible to transform and revitalize the Tai Sui into a body suitable for oneself.

But this is impossible for ordinary people.

They will neither encounter a Tai Sui of sufficient quality, nor possess enough spirituality and vitality to transform and revitalize it.

Instead, things have turned out like this: the Tai Sui parasitizes the flesh and then becomes infected by the turbid energy, turning into a corpse demon that devours flesh and blood.

It's actually the characteristic of flesh and blood infecting the Tai Sui, and then it got out of control.

It devours the flesh and blood of living beings to grow itself.

It is born from the flesh and blood of the Tai Sui and devours flesh and blood, hence the name "Flesh and Blood Tai Sui".

This is a flesh-and-blood creature driven only by instinct. If it eats too many people, it will erode the spirituality of those it consumes.

Therefore, the Koreans have been using military armor to resist the flesh-and-blood Tai Sui. Once the flesh-and-blood Tai Sui has had enough and has extinguished its spirituality, they will have a temporary period of peace.

Human flesh and blood won't do, because the human body contains too little spirituality.

Too strong a cultivator is also not good. The flesh and blood Tai Sui itself is not particularly strong. It only has flesh and blood but no soul. It has only quantity but no quality.

But once killed, as long as there is a trace of flesh and blood, the flesh and blood will regenerate and develop some kind of resistance evolution.

The more ruthless the killing, the stronger the evolution will be.

In the end, even the Holy Realm was helpless.

Three such beings have already appeared in South Korea.

As for besieging it, there's no way to besiege it.

The flesh-and-blood Tai Sui is a creature that inherits the characteristics of Tai Sui.

Tai Sui is like the original form of all living things.

When the Void Flesh Tai Sui is trapped, it will consume its flesh and blood to evolve and escape by means of burrowing underground, becoming ethereal, flying, and so on.

Of course, it's not impossible to eliminate it; just be careful to burn it completely with fire.
