The four Great Sages entered the Flesh Ganoderma Grotto-Heaven together.
This kind of Grotto-Heaven was called a Half Bitwall in the West. It had always existed on the main world. Chung Shen-soo was no stranger to it.
When he was traveling, he couldn't help but think of the great ominous creature — the Black Taisui.
The Black Taisui was first discovered in the fifth year of Longfeng by the Taoists …
At that time, someone in Jingling dug out a huge white meatball from the ground. After it was cut open, it was fragrant and made people salivate. Then, they ate it raw …
After it was eaten raw, there was no immediate side effect. Instead, it could nourish vitality and prolong life. Therefore, it was offered to the provincial government …
After 49 days, all the people who had eaten the white meatball became stiff and numb. They turned into the Living Dead, who ate living people for fun. It was also extremely poisonous. Mortals who touched it were immediately infected and turned into the Living Dead … Even cultivators couldn't cure them. Some of them were even infected …
"This is the Taisui Disaster. It affected hundreds of kilometers and involved hundreds of thousands of people. In the end, it alarmed the Dao Sect. A Great Sage took action and finally killed all the Living Dead … However, before the Living Dead were killed, they sacrificed each other and fused their flesh and blood together, turning into a ferocious demon called the Black Taisui!"
It was a disaster … However, when cultivators touched this poison, they wouldn't turn into the Living Dead. Instead, they would turn into a corpse of a higher level than the Living Dead! In the West, they are also called ghouls … It is said that they can still maintain their sanity, but their desire for flesh and blood will often make them fall into a state of madness …
Chung Shen-soo thought to himself, According to research, these Living Dead and corpse are actually dead. What is really alive is a kind of fungus that is attached to them. It can even control the nerves and invade the brain … It is speculated that these fungus are part of the Black Taisui. Once it is leaked, it can proliferate infinitely. Its vitality is extremely terrifying and tenacious. Therefore, the Black Taisui is sealed in the Grotto-Heaven and can never be leaked …
"Yes, it has a strong vitality. This is also a common characteristic of earth demons. However, the [Black Taisui] is even more powerful. From the perspective of western alchemy, the [Black Taisui] is actually a subconscious existence that resides on a large number of fungi."
While he was thinking, the world became wide.
He had arrived at the Flesh Lingzhi Heavenly Abode!
Zhong Shenxiu looked around, only to see a verdant and lush scene.
Red flowers, green willows, verdant plants, full of vitality …
It was truly a blessed land.
However, everyone present was a Great Sage. How could they be fooled by appearances?
A sharp light flashed in Zhong Shenxiu's eyes. The layer of green grass and trees faded away, replaced by black and white.
The originally verdant plants began to rot, and clusters of Ganoderma began to grow on them …
The clear pond water became turbid and smelly. Bubbles appeared on the surface, making it look like a rotten swamp …
Colorful spores were everywhere in the void, trying to merge into the bodies of the outsiders …
"Hehe …"
Among the four Great Sages, even Ziyi Great Sage, who was the weakest, didn't care at all. He just moved his True Fire and burned all the spores.
Meng Nanhua's figure hovered between reality and illusion, not something that the fog could touch.
On the other hand, the Mountain Moving Sage was well-behaved. He used a thick magical power to protect his entire body.
Chung Shen-soo stretched out his right palm. There seemed to be a bottomless pit in his palm, constantly devouring everything around him.
Countless spores, Ganoderma, and plants were sucked into it, turning into a pitch-black ball of flesh. There were many eyes on it, and countless tentacles extended from the edges.
"Black Taisui!"
Mountain Mover Great Sage looked at the black ball of flesh, and a look of fear appeared on his face. "This ferocious being can split into tens of thousands, making it the most difficult to kill … Back then, after the Great Sages of Taoism defeated it, they could only seal it in this grotto-heaven, hoping that it would be slowly burned by the Great Sage True Fire in the outside world. Who would have thought that after so long, not only would they not be able to kill this ferocious being, but it would also infect this grotto-heaven!"
"Yes, although this is only an insignificant clone, it is still extremely difficult to kill …"
Ziyi looked at the black ball of flesh in Chung Shen-soo's hand. She felt as if she was looking at a towering mountain where life gathered. It was indestructible, and her expression changed. She pointed her finger, and a trace of purple flame landed on the ball of flesh, burning it fiercely.
"Ahh!"
The black ball of flesh twitched violently, letting out a scream that could cause an ordinary cultivator to have a mental breakdown. However, the burnt parts kept recovering, and the cycle continued …
"This clone … Even the True Fire of a Great Sage can't destroy it?"
Great Sage Zi Yi exclaimed.
"No, the aura of this ball of flesh is still a little weaker. It seems that as long as you are willing to spend a few months of hard work, you will probably be able to completely refine it …"
Mountain Mover Great Sage's eyes flashed as he murmured.
"Spend a few months of hard work?"
When Zi Yi heard this, she immediately shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"Why don't … Let me try!"
Chung Shen-soo smiled and formed a sword with his fingers. The formless power of Yin turned into a sword gleam, and it pierced down.
Release!
Release!
When the Great Sages saw the sword gleam, they could not help but feel a sense of relief, and they wanted to throw themselves into the sword gleam.
Zi Yi and Mountain Mover quickly turned their heads, and their hearts trembled. This sword technique was indeed extremely evil.
When the black ball of flesh was pierced by the sword gleam, it suddenly let out a high-pitched scream. Then, as if it was dead, it stopped moving.
Not only that, the pitch-black color on its body faded, revealing a fragrant flesh color, emitting a rich vitality and fragrance.
"This is … Fang Xiandao's Flesh Ganoderma? It is said that a real Flesh Ganoderma can extend a mortal's lifespan by a hundred years, and there are no side effects … "
When Great Sage Zi Yi saw this, her eyes lit up. "Such a method that can only destroy the spirit of the Black Taisui without harming its vitality is really exquisite!"
"You flatter me!"
Chung Shen-soo looked at the Ganoderma in his hand and casually kept it. He was prepared to give it to Cen Hongyue as a reward in the future. Then, he looked at the cave and understood. "I see …"
"What did you discover?"
Meng Nanhua did her job as a lackey and immediately asked.
"Fang Xiandao is really generous. He probably wants to use this cave as a furnace to completely refine the Black Taisui into a real Flesh Ganoderma, turning it into a Primordial Elixir that is greatly beneficial to Great Sages … Unfortunately …"
Chung Shen-soo shook his head.
Dreams were plentiful, but reality was harsh.
Fang Xiandao could not refine the Black Taisui to death at all. Instead, it would turn the cave into a demon. He could only take out some of the Black Taisui's subsidiary bodies from time to time, and after the Great Sages refined them into Flesh Ganoderma, he could barely make use of this cave.
"What you said … doesn't it mean …"
Mountain Mover said, "I understand. We are not only in the cave, but also in the belly of the Black Taisui. No wonder Chongshan and Siluo were defeated …"
