"Gu Changsheng!"
Chen Huaian activated the soul-summoning talisman and shouted in a solemn voice.
The talisman emitted a faint silver light, and a mysterious aura spread around like ripples on the water.
Wherever this breath passed, the grass and trees became silent, the leaves hovered, the insects stopped chirping, and everything was quiet.
The world seemed to have been muted, but it soon came back to life again.
That breath seemed to have finally found its direction, and it turned into countless silver threads and surged towards the sky.
"Could it be that... this holy item, the Divine Summoning Talisman, can also open a passage from Earth to the upper realm?"
Chen Huaian narrowed his eyes.
If the divine talisman can really work, it would be a good opportunity to see what the upper realm is like.
But looking directly at the upper realm might not be a good thing...
…
at the same time--
Upper bound.
This is not a fairy palace surrounded by auspicious clouds, but a gloomy and barren wilderness.
The spiritual energy is as thin as water vapor in the desert.
The earth was cracked and the sky was a depressing leaden gray.
The slight vibration from the opening of the channel between the upper and lower worlds and the influx of pure spiritual energy from the lower world were like a stone dropped into a stagnant pool of water.
In an instant, countless "immortals" lurking in the shadows were startled.
They emerge from behind rugged rocks, from the bottom of dry riverbeds, and from deep caves. They have different shapes, but all have the same characteristic - shriveled.
"Spiritual energy! Such pure spiritual energy!"
"Is there spiritual energy? Is the lower world going to be connected to the upper world?"
"Hahaha! Spiritual energy, I want spiritual energy, hahaha!"
Amidst countless howls filled with greed and expectation.
The tiny passage, which was not even the size of an array eye, was surrounded by three layers of inner and outer layers.
These "immortals" gathered around the passage, twisting and turning, cursing, and even fighting each other, just to absorb a little more of that spiritual energy.
Each of them looked weirder than the other.
The human form looked like a skeleton covered in wrinkled human skin, with empty eye sockets.
The non-human ones are twisted and grotesque, with dull shells and limbs as thin as dead branches.
However, a more ferocious and hungry aura suddenly erupted.
roar--!
A roar was heard in the desolate world.
But a huge golden figure shot out from the largest cave nearby, and it was the real body of the Golden Scaled Python.
It's just compared with the incarnation of the lower world.
Its body looks a bit funny.
The originally golden scales lost their luster and exuded a dead grayish-white color.
That huge body exudes a sense of withering, as if drained by years of scarcity, but this does not affect its strength.
The giant tail swept across with the force of wind and thunder, easily sweeping away those crowded "immortals", as easy as sweeping away fallen leaves.
"Get out! Get out of here, everyone!"
Those who knew that the Golden Scaled Python was not easy to mess with had already turned around and ran away.
But there is always one stubborn person who still lies in front of the passage and sucks.
The golden-scaled python opened its huge mouth and mercilessly swallowed up the unlucky guys who were unable to dodge.
It chewed with a "crunch" sound, but not much blood seeped out of its mouth, only the sound of dry flesh and bones breaking.
This bloody warning instantly calmed the situation.
The remaining "immortals" retreated in fear, shrinking back into their own corners, just watching greedily and unwillingly in the shadows.
Seeing that the troublesome insects had obediently hidden themselves, the Golden Scaled Python then sat contentedly in front of the passage.
Its wrinkled eyelids struggled to lift, and its cloudy eyeballs stared at the disappearing silver light.
Finally, a faint soul halo with an aura completely different from that of this world was spit out from the passage.
How to describe that atmosphere?
It was as if a small flower with a fresh fragrance grew in a filthy slaughterhouse.
While it is out of place, it also makes people want to possess it madly.
The Golden Scaled Python's huge snake tongue rolled up and carefully brought the soul before its eyes.
Although the incarnation of the underworld was killed, crucial information was conveyed.
When he digested all the information, a sense of ecstasy suddenly came over him.
The soul of a monk from another world!
Isn't this exactly the 'variable' that the adults want?
As long as you offer this soul, those "adults" will definitely grant you precious immortal fruits.
It can finally escape from this endless hunger and dryness, even if it is only for a moment.
The Golden Scaled Python went back to the cave like crazy.
This place is full of the smell of decay and stench, and has nothing to do with the so-called immortal cave.
But among the countless skeletons emitting the smell of decay and stench, there is a pure land.
There stands a small statue, only the size of an adult's fist.
It has a snake head and a human body, but its face is strangely blank.
The Golden Scaled Python carefully rolled up the statue, making an obscure hissing sound from its mouth, as if communicating with some mysterious existence.
At the same time, as the sound of its chanting became louder and louder, the other tail rolled up Gu Changsheng's soul and placed it in front of the statue.
However, when it concentrated its mind and prepared to complete the sacrificial ritual—
Countless silver threads suddenly entangled Gu Changsheng's soul.
puff--!
Gu Changsheng's soul disappeared.
It was as if it was wiped out in an instant by an invisible arrow.
The huge body of the Tonggui python suddenly froze, and its cloudy eyes were filled with disbelief and astonishment.
It frantically scanned the surroundings with its spiritual sense, but found nothing except the barren rock and soil and a shriveled figure lurking in the distance.
No more!
The variable that it had worked so hard to hunt down disappeared right before its eyes!
"Hiss--Roar!!!" The head turned into a rage and let out a roar that shook the rocks.
But then, a magnificent will suddenly came.
The Golden Scaled Python's anger was like being poured with a basin of cold water and was extinguished instantly.
[What's the commotion? Did you find the variables I need? ]
A cold, emotionless voice came directly from the blank face of the statue, vibrating deep in its soul.
The Golden Scaled Python stood there in a daze, its huge head lowered involuntarily, and it trembled as it transmitted its thoughts: "My Lord... I did look for you, but just now, the variable that was about to be sacrificed... it... it suddenly disappeared..."
[Disappeared?] The voice was flat, yet filled with a chill that could freeze the soul.
[What we need is lost before your eyes? What do you have? ]
No chance to defend himself was given.
The invisible force suddenly descended, like billions of steel needles piercing fiercely into the gaps between the scales of the Golden Scaled Python, and piercing into its flesh, blood and marrow.
The Golden Scaled Python's huge body twisted and rolled in pain.
The hard scales cracked under the invisible whip, revealing the equally dry flesh underneath.
The intense pain caused it to slam into the ground madly, causing rocks to fly and smoke and dust to fill the air.
It wanted to roar, but its voice was strangled by the force and it could only convulse silently.
[Waste.] The voice snorted coldly: [Don’t even think about anything in the future. Reflect on your sins in pain!]
[I will send my servants to take over your job, get out! ]
The whipping stopped suddenly.
The golden-scaled python collapsed in a pile of broken rocks, its body covered with wounds.
The withered body had countless wounds deep enough to see the bones. Dark golden blood slowly seeped out and was quickly absorbed by the dry earth.
Its huge head drooped limply, and the last bit of light in its turbid eyes was completely extinguished, leaving only endless despair.
There are no more magical fruits.
Was it abandoned by the adults?
After that, I will be in this dead and silent wilderness again...
Have you endured the endless hunger and thirst?
