Chapter 149: The Ghost Worm
Wu Chong remembered the opponent he encountered when he first explored the second layer of the Immortal Mansion with Gu Xuan Immortal Venerable. At that time, he only thought that the other party was unwilling to leave the lower world for the two of them, but now it seems that there may be secrets in it that he and Gu Xuan Immortal Venerable don't know.
"Because the surface layer is the territory of Lord Worm."
While the two were talking, the burly man had already taken Wu Chong into the courtyard next to him.
The environment here is very quiet, and the big family is very elegantly furnished, and the yard has a rockery fish pond. There are also two goldfish in the pond, one large and one small, swimming slowly. The bamboo waterwheel near the rockery next to it rotates slowly, and the bamboo tube makes a crisp sound from time to time.
"Before the appearance of Lord Worm, the surface layer was the territory of the Twelve Holy Families, and the rules were the same as the world below, and the Purple Heart Bamboo had to be planted in accordance with the will of the Twelve Saints. But Lord Snake appeared, he, like the ancient 'Qi', was a rare peerless genius in the ages, and it only took less than a thousand years to advance to the Great Immortal Venerable, and he also skillfully controlled the rules. ”
The burly man said as he walked.
Wu Chong silently spread out his divine sense, strangely he didn't sense any life in the room.
In other words, there was no one in the room.
After noticing this, Wu Chong stopped, he was already a little too lazy to waste time with the other party. The burly man in front didn't notice this, and still told the news he knew.
"After Lord Worm was promoted, he suppressed the Twelve Holy Families, pulled out all the Purple Heart Bamboos, and reformulated the rules of the Immortal Mansion, which is why the Three Sects and Nine Sects appeared later. In the past, there were only twelve halls in the immortal mansion."
Without hearing the sound of footsteps, the burly man finally sensed that something was wrong, and looked back to see Wu Chong standing on the edge of the pool, observing the fish inside.
"There are many Great Immortal Venerables in the lower layers of the Immortal Mansion, and the ancestors of the Twelve Holy Families are below. Didn't they stop it? ”
Wu Chong looked at the pool water and asked casually.
His dim consciousness spread further, ready to spread outside, to see if he could get some useful information.
Strangely, the place was like a thin film, and his divine sense couldn't penetrate it at once.
"Of course they stopped, but they failed."
The burly man immediately replied.
"The Twelve Holy Families killed by Lord Worm no longer dared to reach out to the surface, so much so that later, all the descendants of the Twelve Holy Families did not dare to return to the surface."
"I've seen members of the Twelve Saints' families travel."
"Some of the remaining outcasts, they don't dare to leave the range of the flying boat when they go out now, and they also need to be shrouded by the Hongqiao when they walk, and they are afraid of death."
Speaking of this, the burly man began to urge again.
"Don't waste your time, Lord Python's time is precious."
"Precious should be more straightforward, don't you say?"
Wu Chong ignored the burly man, stared at the two fish in the pool and said. His action made the burly man sluggish for a while, and he subconsciously wanted to ask.
"Who are you talking to?"
Before the words could be fully spoken, the pool of water gushed up.
I saw that the big carp that was still swimming in it a second ago suddenly burst out of the water, and then the tail flicked in the air, and it turned into a middle-aged man in a light blue robe. The burly man next to him looked at this scene with a dull face, and then he realized that Lord Worm was in the courtyard.
"Lord Python!" The burly man immediately saluted.
"Yes, yes, just by feeling with this hand, you can be sure that you are your own person."
The middle-aged man in the blue shirt raised his hand to stop the burly man's nonsense. His eyes fell on Wu Chong, and he asked with appreciation.
"How do you see that?"
"That's the rule you mastered?"
Wu Chong did not follow the other party's words to answer, but looked at this person.
At the moment when the other party appeared, he sensed the strength of the other party. It really controls the rules, and according to the Immortal Mansion, it can be regarded as a great immortal. With such a strong man, why didn't he sense it before? He had been to the core of the Immortal Mansion many times, and if he really had such a powerful aura, he should have discovered it a long time ago.
"Kaleidoscopic, the rules I controlled when I was in the Chaos Sea, I just came here to take it back." The middle-aged man in the blue shirt waved his hand and asked the burly man next to him to go down.
Seeing this, the man who led the way respectfully retreated.
"When Chen Guan first came here, he wasn't even at the calamity level, but I saved him. In addition to his somewhat stubborn personality, this guy is still a good person. The Chenguan in his mouth was the burly man who led the way for Wu Chong just now.
As he spoke, the middle-aged man in the blue shirt walked to the tea pavilion next to him and sat down, and poured a cup of tea for Wu Chong.
This tea pavilion originally didn't exist, but when the two came over, it naturally appeared out of thin air. Looking at the traces of veins on the tea pavilion, Wu Chong roughly understood why he hadn't sensed this person before.
The rules he mastered were very special, and they were different from the Great Immortal Venerable of the Immortal Mansion.
The Origin level itself is a top-level powerhouse who is proficient in controlling and using the rules, and once they take back this power, they will immediately reach the pinnacle and become the existence that the Immortal Venerables of the Immortal Mansion look up to.
That is, the Great Immortal Venerable.
This is also the biggest gap between the Immortal Mansion system and the Chaos Sea system.
The Immortal Mansion only focuses on destructive power, while the Chaos Sea side is a rule-based cultivation method. It is not good to judge which is stronger or weaker, but the road to the end is definitely the same.
"When you first arrived at the Immortal Mansion, I sensed your breath. I didn't expect to meet you so early, but I didn't expect your progress to be even faster than I expected, to get back your strength in such a short time, and to find a way to sneak into the second layer. ”
During the conversation, the middle-aged man in the blue shirt said his name as a sign of respect.
"Ghost Worm."
"Wu Chong."
Wu Chong glanced at this person, he was very curious about how this guy managed to avoid the weakness period when he passed through the Ultimate Gate, and how he managed to avoid the erosion of spiritual energy to get to this point. He was able to avoid it entirely because Da Luo's realm was constant, and the person in front of him, Wu Chong didn't sense a similar aura on him.
He sat down across from him and didn't ask.
This guy took the initiative to come to the door, there must be something.
Wu Chong suspected that he might have inadvertently sabotaged this guy's plan, the other party had been avoiding him before, and now he took the initiative to come out again, all because he had entered the second layer.
Could it be that there are secrets hidden in the lower layers of the Immortal Mansion that cannot be touched?
Eternity!
Wu Chong's thought flashed, and he had a guess in an instant.
For them, the monks from the Chaos Sea, the most important thing is eternity. Everyone is running for eternity, and only when they touch this thing will the other party take the initiative to show up to meet regardless of their own arrangement.
"How much power have you taken back now?"
After the initial goodwill, the scene of the conversation between the two was much more harmonious. In the eyes of the ghost dragon, Wu Chong must have been the same as him before he came over, an origin-level existence.
Only peers are qualified to talk about cooperation with him.
"It's almost three floors."
Wu Chong thought for a moment about the three rules he controlled, and explained casually.
His cultivation path was also different from that of the Chaos Sea, and the immortal path he had created was not easy to measure no matter which side it was.
"You infiltrated the lower world of the Immortal Mansion before, did you want to go one step further and become a source-level Great Immortal Venerable?"
"Source-level Great Immortal Venerable?"
Wu Chong was stunned, he hadn't heard Gu Xuan Immortal Venerable say this, and the Liujia Dream Lord didn't know either, could it be that it was a level that only the lower world knew?
"The Source-level Great Immortal Venerable is equivalent to an ordinary World Lord and the same as the Origin Level, nominally at the level of the World Lord, but in reality there is a difference between heaven and earth."
The ghost snake patiently explained.
"Do you know why I've been staying on the surface for so many years? It's because the old guy of the Twelve Holy Families has a Source-level Great Immortal Venerable among them, and I'm not his opponent. ”
"Then why didn't he come up and kill you?"
"Because of Kai."
At the mention of Kai, the ghost dragon's eyes flickered. This look is not worship, but fear.
