383 An Inkling
“Master, he…”
Ninth Uncle wanted to argue, but he couldn’t say anything.
“There’s no point in talking. Today, I’ll use your blood to form my great Dao.”
Shi Jian’s eyes were bloodshot.
After becoming a Corpse Devil, his desire for blood had almost driven him crazy.
Shi Jian charged at Ninth Uncle like a mad man, but Ninth Uncle didn’t resist. He just sat there quietly.
He let Shi Jian’s sharp teeth bite into Ninth Uncle’s neck.
His blood essence was rapidly flowing away, and Ninth Uncle’s face turned sallow.
“Senior brother, I had already found out about your arrangement, but I didn’t do anything to stop it. All of this is fate. That Zombie Island must have been the work of my Junior Nephew. Good scheming, good methods.
“However, it’s a great taboo to raise corpses. We, the people of the Mao Mountain, can never do it. Junior Nephew, you’re a rare genius of the Mao Mountain. You shouldn’t go astray.
“Today, I’ll use my body to destroy your path of the Corpse Devil. Junior Nephew, you must not try such crooked ways in the future. You must work hard to promote the Mao Mountain.”
Ninth Uncle didn’t look at Shi Jian, who was sucking blood from his body. Instead, he stared at you.
He knew that none of this had much to do with Shi Jian.
The mastermind was you, the Little Celestial Master of the Mao Mountain.
However, he had no way to stop you. He only wanted to use his life as the last wave to see if he could awaken your conscience.
Your brows were tightly furrowed. All of your plans had gone smoothly, except for this final juncture.
Ninth Uncle’s actions had made you extremely uneasy.
You started to think about a problem.
When did you start to become numbed and unscrupulous before you achieved your goals?
One after another, things flashed through your mind.
Soon, you found the key point of the matter.
Your transformation started after you entered the Lotus Lamp Universe.
Everything you had done in that world wasn’t a reflection of your true heart. Instead, there was an inexplicable force that was controlling your will and causing you to do such a thing.
From then on, your actions had become like those of a villain.
“What exactly? Who is it?”
You frowned even more. You really couldn’t think of the reason.
The Lotus Lamp Universe, according to the system, was only an Intermediate World.
However, in that world, there was Tathagata who could see through your identity with a single glance. There was an unknown powerhouse who could change your thoughts and control your actions without you knowing.
There was even an entity that directly crushed your golden finger and almost destroyed your simulator—Hongjun.
The more you thought about it, the more black lines appeared on your head.
Above your head, a black lotus that no one could see was quietly blooming. It was constantly emitting a dark aura.
“Ah!”
Suddenly, Shi Jian let out a painful roar.
The blood in his body began to boil, and heat surged.
In less than a minute, his body exploded on the spot.
Ninth Uncle looked at Shi Jian’s body that had exploded, and he smiled in satisfaction.
Before he came, he had cast the Evil Extermination Curse of the Daoist School in his blood.
He had even refined all the blood in his body into blood that was specially used to deal with zombies.
It could be said that from the very beginning, Ninth Uncle had planned to die together with the zombies.
While looking at you who was deep in thought, Ninth Uncle’s face no longer had any regret. He directly drew the long sword at his waist and cut off his own head.
He had already been bitten by the Corpse Devil.
If he didn’t die, he would definitely turn into a zombie and bring disaster to a region.
As a Daoist, Ninth Uncle would never allow such a thing to happen.
After Ninth Uncle and Shi Jian’s deaths, the entire canyon also began to become quiet.
Daoist Thousand Cranes was standing at the side, not saying a word. As for you, you didn’t order the Zombie King to attack, and the Zombie King just stood there quietly.
Helplessly, you could only give up.
You waved your hand and ordered the Zombie King to bury the bodies of those evil Mao Mountain Daoists.
You didn’t kill Daoist Thousand Cranes but walked into the forest alone.
…
Year 30: After the battle in the canyon, you returned to the Mao Mountain alone. No one dared to ask what happened that day. Daoist Thousand Cranes, the only survivor, also kept his mouth shut about what happened that day. In less than two years, he died and passed away. You were prepared not to do as you pleased anymore. You were prepared to stay in the Mao Mountain in peace and cultivate the orthodox Daoist techniques.
…
Year 50: Your cultivation had already reached the peak of the human world. With your extraordinary talent, you had broken through the limit of the thin Spiritual Qi in the mortal world. Your cultivation had reached the Heavenly Venerate realm, and you were ready to ascend.
…
Year 70: The Mao Mountain had been developing rapidly over the past few decades thanks to you. It had become the number one sect in the world. You had been living a carefree life with tens of thousands of disciples sending you off.
You broke through the void and arrived at the Immortal World that Shi Jian had been dreaming of. There were no jade towers there, no magnificent scenes like you imagined. What you saw were only broken pavilions and dead silence.
‘How can this be the Immortal World?’
You couldn’t help but ask a series of questions in your mind.
You searched for a long time in the ruins, but you didn’t find any signs of life. This place seemed to have been deserted for a long time.
You could check the palaces of the immortals.
All of a sudden, you became keenly aware that the magic power in your body was rapidly depleting.
The source of your magic power was the center of the Immortal World.
You didn’t hesitate and flew directly to the Soaring Heavenly King Palace.
You saw a piece of jade there.
The thing that was absorbing your magic power is this seemingly ordinary jade wall.
There were dense words carved on the jade wall.
With the thought of exploring the truth, you read the words carefully.
…
Year 170: You had been dreaming for 100 years. You had been watching the jade wall for 100 years, and all your energy had been absorbed.
[You’re dead.]
[The simulation has ended. Simulation Time: 170 years, Points: 17, System Cooldown Time: 180 days.]
[In this simulation, you have obtained the Zombie King, Thunder Fist Technique, sDivine Five
Thunder Technique, Corpse-Binding Rope, Peach Wood Sword, Heavenly Venerate Cultivation Base, and 100 Years of Enlightenment From the Unknown Jade Wall. Please choose one as your reward.]
Zhao Hao looked at the reward interface in front of him with a strange expression.
If he hadn’t gone to the Immortal World, Zhao Hao would have chosen the Heavenly Venerate Cultivation Base without hesitation.
That was the limit that the Small World could accommodate.
Once he made his choice, Zhao Hao could leave the One Piece Universe.
However, with the trip to the Immortal World, the 100 Years of Enlightenment From the Unknown Jade Wall was more suitable for Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao had a vague premonition that the answer that he had been searching for a long time was there.
