Those who agreed were all in the south, where there was a space similar to this one. The Shura Clan was preparing to open a base there, a place to train and rest.
Although those who agreed were forced to sign a blood contract and could not break through their current level for the rest of their lives, they could still retain their own thoughts.
Those who did not agree were all wrapped up in this so-called baleful aura, slowly eroding their consciousness from their body to their soul. Once it succeeded, they would completely become the Shura's puppets.
It was like a weapon. But like this, most people and demonic beasts did not submit, even if they were turned into puppets.
Gu Zheng thought of the densely packed balls he saw. They were probably the demonic beasts and humans who were still resisting.
There were some balls in the middle that were already empty. It seemed that they had already completed the transformation and headed south on their own.
Then, the Shura Clan elder passed down the method of capturing demonic beasts from the outside world. He also opened a spatial point in the Shura Clan's territory, connecting the inside of the pagoda. This pagoda was placed in a heavily guarded place.
Although this pagoda had six floors, only the third floor was this space. This was because the bottom of the pagoda was soaked in a part of the Blood Sea, which was taken out from the Blood Sea. The top of the pagoda was filled with countless spiritual energy. The location of the pagoda itself was a huge spiritual energy gathering array.
The bottom went through two layers of filtration, making the energy even purer. The pool in the hall was like the filtration of the Blood Sea.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth absorbed from the top of the pagoda also went through layers of filtration before flowing into the blood pool, replenishing the blood pool's consumption.
One had to know that every time the Shura Clan members entered or were summoned, the energy of the blood pool would be consumed.
The blood pool's ability maintained the basic operation of this world, and some of it mixed with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to form the mist in the sky.
When you recover your immortal energy, a trace of baleful aura will enter your body. At first, it will be easy to remove it, but later on, it will become harder and harder to remove it until it takes root in your body.
Later on, your control of your body will slowly be controlled by the baleful aura. When I come, you will be completely controlled. The first layer is what you see. The controlled party's eyes are green.
At this time, although you have lost control of your body, your consciousness is still in your mind, watching your body do things instinctively.
You can hear and see, but it is like being locked up, unable to control yourself, leaving everything to your body's instincts.
The baleful aura below will begin to invade your consciousness. Once your consciousness is completely invaded, you will become a naked puppet.
Apart from your body, your memories, your soul, everything will disappear. At that time, your eyes will turn green.
It could be said that the color of one's eyes could tell one's identity. Moreover, the Shura Race had a set of senses and defenses against puppets and slaves, so they would be able to see through one's disguise.
One had to know that the Shura who came here had the six-colored ring.
Those enslaved demonic beasts and humans all obeyed unconditionally. Those people's eyes were blue, but once they disguised themselves, it was really hard to see through.
Gu Zheng started to talk about the python they first met and why it was wandering outside.
Sister Xiong explained gently.
"Didn't I tell you just now? The Shura outside are still capturing people and throwing them in. For example, Shura of Jin Xian's level can be sent back up to their level, as long as the other party doesn't resist too fiercely."
"If that's the case, is it possible to bring back a person who is knocked unconscious or in a defenseless state?" Gu Zheng swallowed his saliva. This news was too shocking.
Who knew how many people and demonic beasts had been captured for so many years?
"Yes, but the ones they capture are directly thrown into random areas. If they are unlucky, they will be forcibly transformed. If they are lucky, they will be slowly corroded and transformed like you. Although they don't need to eat or drink, they still need some energy to maintain themselves. As long as they absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the transformation will be successful sooner or later."
"Is there nothing special?" Gu Zheng couldn't help but ask.
"No. Apart from you, the ring on your body can imitate any level. I don't know if it's because of the hall, but I've never seen someone like you forcibly imprint a ring on your body," Sister Xiong said meaningfully.
"Simply put, there's a problem with you pretending to be an Shura in front of those slaves. Even if you change a little, the slaves won't know. In fact, if you disguise yourself well, no one can see through you except for those above the Grand Heavenly Realm. That's because you have the mark of a pure Shura in your body.
Gu Zheng didn't know why the black-clothed man was so kind. Logically speaking, shouldn't he be looking forward to his early death?
This misunderstood the black-clothed Shura. Logically speaking, if the Shura died, the ring on his body would correspondingly disappear.
However, when the black-clothed man knew that his death was confirmed, he actually saw the gourd that Gu Zheng carried with him. It was Lu Ya's natal magic treasure, the Immortal Slaying Gourd.
No one could snatch it from Lu Ya, unless Lu Ya died. However, Lu Ya wasn't dead. That meant that he must have lent it to Gu Zheng with Lu Ya's consent.
The black-clothed man wanted to send Gu Zheng to the trial grounds. No matter what, the gourd would fall into the hands of the Road Repairing Clan sooner or later. That was because there was only one exit. Unless one was a saint, no one would be able to calculate the location of that layer of space.
This ring also had a very strong defensive power. However, no matter how strong it was, it couldn't block that flying knife. The black-clothed man directly gave up on defense and gave up on the chance to escape.
Everything was for the Shura. Every Shura would remember this in their heart.
Even if Gu Zheng died and the gourd returned to Lu Ya's side, it would have to pass through a place that had two peak Zenith Heavenly Immortals guarding it all year round. It was impossible for the gourd to escape.
He had already destroyed all traces of himself. Even Lu Ya didn't know where his gourd had gone. The black-clothed man really had a good plan.
Moreover, there was a bit of his remnant information on the ring. It couldn't be removed and could be easily found by fellow clansmen. Who would have thought that after being cleansed by the central hall, all traces of himself would be washed away? It completely belonged to Gu Zheng.
"Is there no special existence here? Can't I escape from here? "Gu Zheng looked at Sister Xiong." Could it be that even someone as strong as you can't escape? "
Sister Xiong's face was already starting to look tired. She yawned. "I originally had a chance, but I gave it up. There needs to be an existence here to share the baneful aura. I'm here to act as the first bridgehead for my companions who are still resisting."
"Speaking of which, that fruit of yours was nurtured by that fellow who possessed the bloodline of the Vermilion Bird back then using his own body as nourishment. It can temporarily suppress the baleful aura and allow those who are still in the second stage to regain their consciousness. Who knows, you might be able to encounter even more things."
"Is this it? I still have a few more. Why don't you use them first? "Gu Zheng took back all the remaining fruits.
Sister Xiong pushed the fruit in front of her back. "You should keep this. Who knows when you will need it. As for me …" Sister Xiong laughed bitterly. "It's best for me to hide in my mind. That way, my companions below can last longer."
For some reason, Sister Xiong felt that the fate of her and everyone else in this world was in the hands of this little fellow. Sister Xiong saw a glimmer of hope in him.
"I can't suppress it anymore. Don't waste the fruit. I've already said what I need to say. If you still don't understand, you can continue to ask the others." A trace of pain flashed through Sister Xiong's eyes.
"Right, let this little fellow bring you out." Sister Xiong thought for a moment and casually grabbed. A tiny bug about 50 centimeters long appeared in front of Gu Zheng.
"Little Bug, you will accompany Young Master Gu from now on. Do you understand what I mean?" Sister Xiong's large head rested on Little Bug's head, blocking the sky above.
Little Bug hurriedly nodded, so fast that it became a blur.
"I promise to complete the mission." A crisp voice sounded. It sounded like a 15 or 16-year-old human child.
Sister Xiong nodded in satisfaction. At that moment, the hall began to slowly close again. Sister Xiong frowned. "You don't have time. Hurry up and leave."
Sister Xiong waved her hand, and Gu Zheng's mind was shaken. By the time he reacted, he was already standing at the bottom of the mountain. In front of him was the winding path that he had taken to ascend the mountain.
Looking at the towering mountain, Gu Zheng felt like everything that had just happened was an illusion.
Gu Zheng felt something bump against his leg. He turned around and saw that it was the bug from before. Its sky-blue body was crystal clear. The bug was using its head to bump against Gu Zheng's leg to show its existence.
Sister Xiong stood at the top of the mountain and looked into the distance. Her eyes seemed to be able to see through the invisible barrier. She muttered to herself, "You are still holding on."
A green light appeared in her eyes and slowly rose. A great pain appeared in her body, but Sister Xiong endured it and continued to look into the distance.
When more than half of the green light was gone, Sister Xiong could no longer maintain her upright posture.
Lying on the ground, he used his huge fists to beat the hard ground with all his might. He couldn't stop himself from howling in a low voice. Traces of blood flowed out from the corners of his mouth, but he still refused to vent out loud. He just didn't want his companions to worry.
The green eyeball finally defeated the bright black world and successfully dyed the original world green.
Sister Xiong's eyes returned to green. She looked like when Gu Zheng had first arrived. Now, she was back to her old state and patrolling the palace when it closed.
Big Sis Xiong didn't tell Gu Zheng that the others couldn't endure the pain. Many people and monsters couldn't take it anymore, so they committed suicide or surrendered. Those who were struggling bitterly all hated the Shura people deeply.
After hundreds and thousands of years of torture and enslavement, an indelible hatred had formed in their hearts.
The bug felt like it was the unluckiest bug in the world.
The bug had lived in an extremely cold place. It had its parents and siblings. It didn't live a rich life, but it was still a happy one.
The immature bug was brought into the snow to find food under the snow. It had to hide from its own world. It was a five-meter-long bird.
Sometimes, when it saw its siblings being taken away, it couldn't do anything. The bug's family's only attack was to breathe out cold air. It was such a low-level attack.
But living in an extremely cold place, every bug was born with a diameter of three layers. When they reached adulthood, they could reach up to five layers. They were a group of talented creatures. But here, they were the lowest creatures. They were limited, and some of them even became Big Goblin when they reached adulthood. That made the bug envious.
With such a high cultivation, at least it wouldn't be taken away and eaten. It could enjoy its life in peace. The cold and delicious snow water, the fragrant plant roots, it yearned for such a life.
However, an accident broke Little Chong's family apart. A huge flock of birds attacked his home. In order to protect their child, both his parents died in battle. Little Chong's siblings fled in all directions.
At that time, the bug was also in a panic. It kept running, and then began to dig a hole in the hard soil.
The bug's family was naturally good at digging holes. They used their indestructible teeth to dig a hole about the size of their body.
When it was exhausted, the hole in front of it opened up, and it fell into a bright and wide cave.
There was a bright flower in the cave, emitting a shocking cold air. The place it lived in was already very cold. Now that it was here, the bug felt like it was going to freeze.
Looking at the path back, the bug thought of the huge birds flying in the sky, and the screams of its siblings before they died.
The timid bug decided to take refuge here. It would rather freeze to death than go out.
After enduring it for a few days, the hungry bug wanted to go out. Only then did it realize that the path it came from had disappeared.
It wanted to dig another hole, but it was so weak that it had no strength left.
Left with no choice, the bug could only slowly approach the bright flower. The closer it got, the colder it became.
But freezing to death was better than starving to death. The feeling of hunger was too unbearable.
The shivering bug crawled to the bottom of the flower with great difficulty, and looked at the flower that was several times bigger than itself.
The bug climbed onto a drooping leaf and slowly climbed up. The bug felt like it was going to freeze to death, but its hunger made it bite down viciously.
The bug looked at its teeth, wanting to cry, but no tears came out. A few of its teeth had been broken.
It could only use its remaining teeth to grind it down bit by bit. After a long while, the unconscious bug finally scraped off some powder. The bug swallowed it instinctively, and was instantly frozen into a block of ice.
After an unknown amount of time, the ice on its body finally fell. The bug was screaming in its heart, I'm freezing to death. But its body did not feel hungry anymore.
The bug's consciousness was still stuck in the thoughts before it was frozen. Every time the bug was hungry, it would eat the flower. Every time, it would be frozen into a block of ice. Anyway, the bug had no concept of time.
When it was hungry, it would eat, and when it was done, it would sleep. The bug's body slowly changed from its original green color to this translucent crystal.
The bug's body did not change much, but it ate more and more stems and leaves each time. Finally, one day, the entire flower was eaten by the bug.
On this day, the bug officially became an immortal and underwent its tribulation. Dark clouds began to gather in the sky above the bug. The bug was panicking, feeling like it would die if it stayed here.
Because the bug had no idea what was going on.
So the bug burrowed through the ice wall that it had been unable to break open before. At that time, the bug was miserable. It had no Dharma treasure, and no one to teach it what to do.
The tribulation clouds behind it struck the bug one after another. Fortunately, the bug's skin and flesh were tough. Under the transformation of the strange flower, the tribulation clouds did not cause too much damage.
After the final strike, the bug was knocked unconscious. Coincidentally, a Shura who was attracted by the commotion came over. He put the bug away and found the cave where the bug had been hiding.
The Shura took out the bug's silk. It was the silk that the bug had wrapped around itself when it was growing. When it came out, it had shrunk again. The bug only knew that after spitting out silk, its body would become purer. It would turn from green to blue, and then to crystal clear.
After that, the bug was brought back to the Shura's home.
Speaking of which, the Shura's home was not bad. For a time, the bug felt like it was in heaven. There was delicious food, thousand-year-old lingzhi, ten-thousand-year-old ginseng.
Later, when they realized that the bug did not spit silk, they began to threaten and tempt it. In the end, the bug obediently spat out silk, but it could only spit out a certain amount each day. After a few hundred years, the bug was given to a child. Of course, it still had to complete the task of spitting silk every day.
It was then that the bug truly came into contact with this world. It learned from the little boy, grew up with him, and was constantly imbued with knowledge of this strange world. It learned that the place it lived in was called the Wilderness, and that it was a pet. There was nothing wrong with having food and drink, as long as it spat out the undigested garbage.
Although it knew that the silk it spat out was a treasure, to the bug, it was better to exchange it for some delicious food, such as the ten-thousand-year-old lingzhi.
Later, as the little Shura grew up, the bug began to go on adventures with the Shura. The Shura was called Xiao Nan, and the bug was a name given to it by Xiao Nan. It liked it very much.
The bug also helped Xiao Nan escape danger many times in battle. It could not be more familiar with its breath, and could even be used as a piece of meat at critical moments. Although the bug only had the cultivation of a Celestial Immortal, it was very difficult for Jin Xian to break through its physical body in the later stages.
In addition, the bug was adept at the art of illusion, which was something that the bug had learned silently.
When it was lonely, the bug could still talk to Xiao Nan. Those were really happy times. The relationship between the two of them became dependable partners, and they could really live and die together.
One day, the bug saw that Xiao Nan's face was gloomy, and said a lot of words that she was reluctant to part with him. Xiao Nan said that she would never hand him over to anyone, and asked him to stay in the trial grounds and wait for him to find him. Before the bug could say anything, it was thrown into the trial grounds with a look of reluctance.
When Xiao Chong first came in, he did not feel any discomfort. His previous environment was even worse than this, but the lack of food made things difficult for Xiao Chong. Although he did not eat well when he was traveling, it was still better than these strange trees and rocks.
Although it was fine if it did not eat, the bug, who was used to eating, still went out in search of food.
Instinctively, the bug headed towards the nearest mountain peak, where the smell of its favorite food could be smelled.
