Chapter 201: Testing
The group exited the grotto and returned to the canyon.
Feeling the cold black gas in the valley, Xu Chen felt a little emotional.
Compared to the dark black fog outside, the aura emitted by the old witch master in the cave was truly terrifying.
This was the third terrifying aura he had felt since he cultivated immortals.
The first is the primeval beast, the second is the phantom of the giant beast that glimpses by in the River Styx, and the third is the old witch master who has been sleeping for countless years.
Compared to the Chixia True Monarch with a peaceful aura, the old witch lord, a strong man who had already completely worn out his spiritual intelligence and was about to transform into a dark beast, seemed to be even more terrifying.
Returning to the hall where the Feng clan people lived, Xu Chen followed the elder and a group of people to the cave where ordinary clansmen had been dormant before.
After all the stone chambers were opened, Xu Chen sensed his breath and selected a warrior who was in a similar state to the old witch master.
This is a middle-aged man, tall and tall, but after a long period of hibernation, under the erosion of the dark qi and blood poison, his skin has also begun to blacken, and his body is shriveled like a dried corpse, and the red patterns on his body are like a strange human leather jacket on a skeleton shelf, which looks very crazy.
According to the consensus of everyone in the Wind Clan, people who have slept to this point are actually almost like death.
But you can't just throw it out or bury it outside.
Because he is not completely dead, the outside is full of dark energy and has been eroded for many years, and maybe he will be resurrected as a dark beast without humanity and intelligence, and eventually add a powerful enemy to the human race.
This kind of thing can be said to be endlessly occurring in the underworld, and in the underworld today, there are still many such humanoid underworld beasts, known as the Lost Soul Clan.
You say these people don't have intelligence, but they don't fight each other, and they can even live together.
But you say they have intelligence, but they are extremely hostile to humans, and there is almost no humanity at all.
Of course, the Lost Souls also kill the Beasts, but this is not their intention, but rather a curse similar to an instinct or even an ancient lineage, and it is said that it is the only power of the Ancestral Legacy that has not completely disappeared, making them enemies of the Beasts.
This was the information Xu Chen got during his communication with the elders.
He was shocked.
According to an ancient legend that the elders themselves are not very clear, after the Terrans evacuated the Underworld, the remaining Terran powerhouses incorporated a kind of rule power into the ancestral teachings, and those who understood the content of the ancestral teachings would imprint some rune marks in the depths of their bloodlines that could never be removed.
This runic sigil can not only help humans resist the erosion of Netherworld, but also assist humans in combat, and at the same time can pass on the ancestral teachings from generation to generation.
However, as the erosion of the underworld qi becomes more and more severe, the time for human beings to reproduce and inherit is getting longer and longer, and the power of the ancestral training in the bloodline is getting weaker and weaker.
Despite this, it is said that the power of the ancestral teachings is still there, hidden in the blood of all human races.
That's why the Lost Souls still have to fight against the beasts.
Xu Chen's mind flashed over the words about the Lost Soul Clan, and looked at the Wind Clan man in front of him, who had almost been completely eroded by blood poison and dark qi to the point of being about to lose his vitality, and took out a Taiyuan Soul Entering Pill.
"Elder, I'm going to start, but I can't guarantee that I will live!" Xu Chen reminded.
"You try, you don't have to care if you live or die!" The elder nodded solemnly.
So Xu Chen stuffed the elixir into the mouth of the middle-aged man who looked like a skeleton, and then poured it with half a bowl of water, and gently pressed his fingers on the man's chest, slightly penetrating a trace of vitality into the stomach and intestines to help refine the elixir.
Because he had been dormant for too long, the man's body had almost been corroded by blood poison, not to mention the stomach and intestines, in fact, the flesh and blood had almost disappeared.
However, because the breath of life has not disappeared, the body's functions are still functioning, and it may take several days for the heart to beat lightly, agitating the blood that is almost viscous and coagulated to flow slowly through the body.
The divine consciousness flowed with the Yuan Qi in the man's body, although the speed was very slow, but after all, it still allowed Xu Chen to slowly see the existence of the five internal organs and meridians, and then used the Yuan Qi to refine the Taiyuan Soul Entering Pill, pushing the spiritual energy and the faint white qi in the Soul Entering Pill into the five internal organs.
Reiki represents spirit, while white energy represents vitality.
If it is a mortal realm cultivator, these two things are excellent things, which can continuously enhance the three souls and seven spirits, as well as the flesh and bones.
But the Wind Clan has lived in the underworld for countless years, and the Divine Soul physique has already undergone great changes, so these two things are almost like poison for the Wind Clan people, with the refining of the Taiyuan Soul Entering Pill sent into the internal organs, under the observation of Xu Chen's divine sense, these internal organs that have been blackened and dried up are actually collapsing at a terrifying speed, and even under the erosion of white gas, they continue to explode violently.
Although Xu Chen was motionless, to the elders and a group of Wind Clan onlookers, the man's body lying in the stone room continued to tremble violently, and black gas and black water began to gush out of his eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and even broken internal organs.
All of them didn't speak, they were all very nervous.
This is certainly not a good situation.
However, everyone also knew that this was an experiment for Xu Chen, and no one cared about the life or death of this tribal warrior who had been sleeping for at least three generations.
As long as this experiment is successful, then there is a certainty that the old witch master will be saved.
As the refining of the elixir continued, the scope of the diffusion of the aura white qi became larger and larger, and the situation in the middle-aged man's body became worse and worse, and the internal organs continued to collapse in a large area, and even the remaining muscles, bones, flesh and blood began to decay rapidly, and streams of black qi emanated from the man's body, and large swaths of skin began to crack, falling off like rotten waste paper.
There was a violent commotion among the onlookers.
The elder also had an ugly look on his face.
At this point, it can almost be judged that Xu Chen has failed.
However, Xu Chen had no intention of giving up.
Because there are only more than ten members of the Wind Clan who are still dormant at the moment, even if all of them are used as test subjects, there will only be more than ten chances, so every experiment is a rare opportunity for him, even if he fails, he must find the reason for the failure.
Before starting, he had actually thought about the marginal situation after taking the Taiyuan Soul Pill in his heart, and the situation in front of him was actually what he expected.
Because he had already killed two powerful underworld beasts with white qi, these human races living in the underworld must have accumulated a large amount of underworld qi, so it was inevitable that there would be damage like burning.
But after all, the Wind Clan is still a human race, and the flesh and soul of the body are still very similar to humans, so even if something happens, as long as the destructive contact process between the underworld qi and the white qi is controlled, and finally the white qi takes the upper hand, it can stimulate the normal flesh and blood to regrow, and eventually a completely reborn change may occur.
It's just that the physical functions of these Feng Clan people who have been dormant for too long are close to death, and there is too little vitality and flesh left, so they can't withstand the impact of strong white qi, so he can only slowly feel the changes of the Taiyuan Soul Entering Pill in his body, and then find a suitable way to resolve it to achieve a state that stimulates the regrowth of flesh and blood.
Time passed breath by breath, and the body of the middle-aged man like a dry corpse had decayed like a rotting corpse, and his body continued to collapse and collapse in the churning of black qi, and the bones that had been eroded and blackened by the dark qi were exposed.
At this time, the aura of the Taiyuan Soul Pills had been completely refined and began to invade the skull.
As if sensing that death was approaching, the man's last remaining shred of vitality actually struggled, his whole body spasmed frantically a few times, and a pair of deep-set eyes actually opened, but what was revealed were two dark and dry eyes.
Xu Chen knew that this was the final key to the success of this experiment, so his vitality suddenly pushed, and a trace of white qi was forcibly pushed into the pitch-black sea of chaotic consciousness, under his powerful divine sense, he could feel a faint white light like a bean lamp, hidden in the boundless darkness, which would be extinguished at any time.
Based on the situation of saving Lan You last time, he knew that this was the last trace of the Wind Clan's man's divine soul breath.
Once this bit of white light dissipates, the true immortal will not be able to save it.
However, when this wisp of white qi fused, the faint white light suddenly brightened a lot, and Xu Chen could instantly feel that the man's divine aura had obviously grown a lot, and even the eyes of the man who suddenly sat up seemed to have a trace of hazy light in an instant.
But even so, the speed of the man's body collapse has not slowed down.
Now that the white qi of the elixir has almost been consumed, the body has entered an almost irreversible state, and it is rapidly decaying in a large area.
"Dead horses should be used as live horse doctors!"
Xu Chen muttered in his heart, and simply used his divine sense to directly use his divine sense to draw a stream of white qi from the mouth of the blue light treasure bottle of the sea of knowledge directly into the man's sea of consciousness, forcibly using the white qi to continuously enhance his divine soul, try to ensure that his consciousness is immortal, and guide the white qi into his internal organs to stimulate the remaining flesh and blood to rejuvenate.
Under the stimulation of a large amount of white qi invasion, the man's body completely collapsed, and the body eroded by the dark qi could no longer maintain its original form at all, and the puff continued to explode, and the black mist rolled and splashed out a colorful halo, which looked terrifying and beautiful.
Everyone was stunned by the sudden change in the man's body.
They all shouted and stepped back.
Xu Chen didn't have time to care about the emotions of the Wind Clan, but instead concentrated on wrapping all the men with his divine sense, carefully feeling all the changes.
Slowly, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
In his powerful divine sense, the man's internal organs, which had almost disintegrated and only a few meridians remained, began to squirm under the nourishment of white qi and appeared fresh fascia, and then slowly accumulated flesh and blood.
However, although these newly grown fascia and flesh tissue look similar to normal people, they are very strange, with wisps of blood-colored patterns.
