Chapter Ninety-Nine: Immortals!?
"For immortality!"
The moon worship in the sea of souls looked up at the waning moon turned into his soul, and sighed softly. The word immortality came out of his mouth, as if it contained unspeakable sadness and helplessness.
"Is there really a person in this world who can live forever?"
As soon as Su Mu asked about the moon, he stirred up the originally calm waves of the soul sea.
"It didn't ...... No amount of ancient existence can break this cycle...... Immortality is just an empty dream of the group of immortals who are delusional in their reverie......" Bai Yue sighed, every cultivator was seeking this answer, but the truth was cruel.
"If there is no immortality, then what are these immortals seeking?"
"Immortality is just a flash in the pan, I have lived for so many years, and I really haven't heard of any old guy who can withstand reincarnation and not die, even if it is as strong as the former Lord of Ten Thousand Stars, no one can resist the erosion of long years, even your ancient ancestors. ”
"There may be a way to extend life indefinitely in this world, but true immortality is impossible...... For this day is not eternal, so how can those who are born in this heaven and earth seek eternal life?"
Su Muer asked Changsheng, but the answer he got was these astonishing words.
Even the heavens are not eternal, how can there be immortality?
There is no immortality, so what are the immortals seeking?
One question after another left a deep imprint on Su Mu's heart, and the more unknowable things were, the more attractive they were.
Su Mu calmed the doubts in his heart and continued to ask, "Then why did these immortals take the flesh of the ancient people?"
"Because these immortals in the Eastern Star Domain were originally from a weak race called mortals. These mortals were originally powerless and had a lifespan of only a hundred years, but they had a huge number of races, and some of the sages among the mortals created a group of immortal cultivators, using the soul as the root to cultivate the oriental immortal art in order to seek immortality. ”
"But mortals' physical foundation is weak, even if they cultivate to an extremely deep realm, their fragile physical body is still their weakness, so these mortal immortals began to look for a match for their sacrifice in the star field, and your ancient clan's strong refining body is one of their targets. Bai Yue gently scooped the water of the soul sea under his feet with his hand, and a glass of divine power wine appeared in his hand, and he began to savor the wine in the cup while explaining leisurely.
Su Mu's face showed a hint of thought, and he stopped talking again: "One of the goals......?
"Yes, these immortals have also attracted the attention of our primeval clans, but they were repelled by me and the other two clansmen. Unexpectedly, so many years have passed, and this group of immortals has not given up that empty dream of immortality. Bai Yue drank the wine in his hand, and there was a hint of sarcasm on his face, obviously looking at the practices of the immortals.
......
"Su Mu, they seem to be saying just now that they want to offer these deer beasts to some immortals? Exiting the dialogue of the Soul Sea, at the edge of the basin of the underground world, Bai Yezheng looked at those Fu people with a serious face and said.
Su Mu didn't respond to her, just observing the situation of these rune warriors. He found that these former branches of the ancient clan seemed to be really weak as Bai Ye said, and the originally small blood-colored deer beasts needed several of them to carry them, and this low physical strength was not like the ancient people at all.
"Let's go up and have a look...... Since they can escape the encirclement and suppression of the Southern Desert countries, and they have caught up with the traitors in your Ye Clan's ancient country, there must be some secrets hidden......"
The two of them began to cautiously follow this group of low-strength Fu warriors, who were extremely slow on their feet, and they didn't know if it was due to physical reasons or the darkness of the underground world.
It wasn't until the group had carried the carcasses of the deer beast over two low hills that Su Mu saw their habitat.
It was a small tribe-like village, lit by glowing pale blue fluorescent vegetation and ornaments, and emaciated Fu people coming and going in it.
In the center of the village, an ancient stele high into the rock formation at the top of the underworld caught Su Mu's attention, because in his eyes, the words on the ancient tablet were constantly flickering, as if there was a force of attraction that hooked the power of the ancient gods in his body.
"White Nights...... Did you feel something was wrong?" Su Mu tried to ask Bai Ye beside him, but the answer he got was no.
"Am I the only one who can see the problem of the steles?" Su Muqiang endured the doubts in his heart, and continued to watch on the top of the hill.
As soon as the group carrying the corpses of the deer beasts entered the village, the originally peaceful hamlet began to stir, and countless bright fluorescent stones were piled up in the center of the village.
Several old Fu elders gathered around the ancient stele and began to recite the long ancient scriptures, but they were too far away for Su Mu to hear the scriptures.
Thousands of Fu villagers knelt down around the ancient monument and bowed to the monument with a reverent expression.
The fresh flesh and blood of the deer and beasts were cleaned and neatly arranged on the altar in front of the stone monument, as if they were offering something.
"Buzz!"
As the chanting of the old man of the Fu clan became louder and louder, a halo of green light bloomed from the stone tablet, and a figure projected by green light appeared in front of the altar.
"The people of the Nether Fu Clan, what is the matter with calling the immortals?" The green figure called himself an immortal, looking like a master outside the world, and his tone contained a lofty posture, overlooking the Fu people who were kneeling.
"Lord Shangxian...... The little old man has found this delicious flesh and blood food for you again...... Ask the immortals to go back and say a few good words for our people, and reduce our people's annual offerings, this year's harvest is really too bad. "Those old men of the Fu clan had already buried their heads on the ground after seeing this immortal projection.
The ancient people did not respect immortals, did not worship Buddha, and the first time they traveled away from home, how could they have met such a traitor who knelt down in front of the self-proclaimed immortals!
The groveling appearance of those old men saw Bai Ye gritting his teeth, as if he wanted to slash a few people!
"The offerings are not exempt, this is the rule in the Immortal Palace, unless you don't want the immortal position. The green-light figure picked up a deer beast leg from the altar and stuffed it into his mouth, not allowing the old men to refute it.
"But...... Immortal ...... In previous years, the few people who entered the immortal monument did not reply, and the position of entering the immortal ...... "The old man wanted to speak and stopped, for fear of offending the lord in front of him."
"Hmm? Do you suspect that this immortal deceives you? The person who entered the immortal position was sent into this immortal monument with your own eyes, and they all went to the Taixu Immortal Realm to seek immortality, how could they reply to you? This cross-border transmission will cost countless immortal power, how can you Fu people imagine it!" The momentum of the green light figure rose, so that those who knelt down did not dare to open their mouths.
At this moment, Sun Xiaosheng, who was originally hiding on the top of the hill, didn't know when he rushed to the ancient monument, only to see that the slender claws of the little white monkey had already grabbed the deer leg in the hand of the green light figure.
"Squeak!"
Under the horrified gaze of thousands of Fu people, the little white monkey actually snatched the deer leg from the immortal's mouth!
"Evil beast!"
"Stop!
Just as the Fu people were exclaiming in surprise and wanted to step forward to stop the little white monkey that suddenly appeared, the green figure was shattered by the few claws drawn by the little white monkey.
A strange creature resembling a ball flew out of the shattered green light, and a terrible scream came from within it, as if it had seen something terrifying.
"Monkey!
"Damn monkeys!"
The green ball flashed up and down, evading Sun Xiaosheng's pursuit in the village.
The projection of the immortal who was high above before turned into a plaything chased by a little white monkey, and those Fu people who knelt down all showed incredible expressions on their faces.
"Squeak!"
A silver light flashed on Sun Xiaosheng's body, and a short spatial movement allowed it to grab the escaping green ball, and then happily ran with the green ball to the hill outside the village.
The group of Fu people also followed the little monkey out of the village and looked towards the top of the hill next to the village.
I saw that the little monkey was happily handing over the green ball to a young man, and the three ancient gods at the center of the young man's eyebrows were flashing, and they were as bright as gods in the darkness at the moment.
"Old Gods...... Three stars ancient gods!" Those few Fu clan elders recognized the star dots in Su Mu's eyebrows, and their panicked expressions couldn't hide the fear in their eyes.
Because in this small rune village, the strongest is only the two-leaf rune clan, and even a two-star ancient god is not an opponent, not to mention that now there is a three-star ancient god!
"This isn't an immortal at all!"
"Your ancestors were deceived by the immortals, why are you descendants so ignorant!"
"It's just a fairy soul that hasn't died!"
Su Mu grabbed the green light that wanted to struggle to escape with his right hand, and his eyes looked coldly towards the thousands of Fu people, and he only knew the nature of this green light after listening to the instructions of the moon worship.
This is just a crippled soul of an immortal pretending to be a ghost, and the funny thing is that these Fu people still worship him with respectful expressions!
