Chapter 234 The Human Demon's Arrangement
Although Tian Zhenzhen did not go down, she had spiritual power. With her spiritual power spread out, she was fully aware of everything that happened below.
"Daqiang, do you think his talk of immortality is true?"
"In my opinion, this is a very low-level transformation that requires a long conversion process and harsh conditions."
Most importantly, this conversion has many flaws and cannot be performed a second time.
Tian Daqiang presented his analysis.
"So there are a lot of restrictions then. How long is the lifespan of humans in your interstellar world?" Tian Zhenzhen asked curiously.
Before Tian Daqiang could answer, the system spoke up in a hurry.
[Host, do you want a longer lifespan? You can definitely achieve that by completing more missions.]
The system, which rarely speaks and seldom interacts except to urge her to complete tasks, took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
As soon as she asked the question, she knew what the system was going to say next.
She always felt that the system's taciturn nature wasn't due to aloofness, but rather because it was afraid of making more mistakes the more it spoke.
Don't make your purpose too obvious each time you speak.
"I'm not obsessed with longevity; I'd be happy if I could live a few hundred more years."
[Several hundred years is entirely possible. Although this world is only a lower-level world, it has its limits.]
However, there are also some secret realms. As long as the host can control these secret realms, many good things can be found inside.
By completing more tasks in the system, you can obtain some secret recipes for refining longevity elixirs.
"Can't you just give me something to extend my lifespan?"
Tian Zhenzhen asked with some doubt, feeling that the system's words were somewhat guiding, but she couldn't quite grasp it for the time being.
No, every world has its own rules of operation, and one cannot exceed the limits of that world.
"How do you explain Tian Daqiang and his group's fighting strength? Aren't they unable to break through the limits of this world?"
Tian Zhenzhen asked, puzzled.
They are robots, which do not conflict with the laws governing the world. They are a continuation and development of technology, and an achievement that may be reached many years from now, so they are not affected.
On the contrary, things that transcend lifespan have an upper limit.
Tian Zhenzhen always felt that the system was fooling her, but she couldn't produce any evidence.
However, Tian Zhenzhen didn't have much of an obsession with immortality; being able to live for a few hundred more years was a huge bonus for her.
Tian Zhenzhen stopped communicating with the system. Since it was using mission rewards to entice her to search for more secret realms, she naturally wouldn't refuse and also wanted to know what the system ultimately wanted.
The battle below is about to be decided.
The demon seemed to have lost interest in toying with the group, or perhaps he had been lying down for too long, having previously had the three of them accompany him to stretch his muscles.
When the time came, he directly attacked Xuan Ning Daoist, who had the lowest cultivation level among the three.
Faced with his powerful attack, how could Daoist Xuan Ning possibly withstand it?
Master Qingyi wanted to help, but he was no match for the human demon.
The demon swiftly dodged, his body moving with lightning speed. He not only evaded Qingyi Daoist's blockade but also arrived directly behind Xuanning Daoist, delivering another Black Tiger Heart-Piercing Strike to his back.
It seems that the demon is very fond of this way of killing, as it not only allows him to consume the heart's blood, but also to kill his enemy in one blow.
A person can survive if they lose their hands, feet, or limbs, but if they lose their heart, they have to grow a new one; otherwise, they will never survive.
Master Xuan Ning felt a sharp pain in his body, unaware that the demon had appeared behind him at some point.
Only now do they realize that this demon had been holding back a lot, and that they were simply not capable of stopping him.
Knowing he was doomed, Master Xuan Ning's body began to sway precariously as the demon's hand ripped out his heart.
When Master Qingyi saw this scene, his appearance as an old immortal vanished. At this moment, he was more like an ordinary person, running towards Xuan Ning and catching his fallen body.
The originally dark robes were now stained with large patches of blood.
He desperately wanted to stop his junior brother's bleeding, but the bleeding just wouldn't stop.
"Junior brother, junior brother, junior brother."
Master Qingyi's voice revealed sadness, pain, and helplessness.
He was more than ten years older than Xuan Ning, and he was the one who raised Xuan Ning when he came to Jingyun Temple.
From all the little things in life to practicing martial arts, everything was guided and handled by him.
Seeing the person he treated like a younger brother die before his eyes, Master Qingyi was filled with regret.
He regretted bringing him here, regretted that he had insisted on bringing his junior brother down despite knowing there was great terror below, all because of curiosity and profit.
Master Xuan Ning raised his hand and tightly grasped Master Qing Yi's sleeve.
Blood was flowing from his mouth, and he could see his senior brother's self-blame and sorrow, so he still tried to comfort him:
"Senior brother, run away quickly."
"Being your junior brother... I... will not... regret it."
After saying his last word, Master Xuanning glanced at Master Qingyi one last time, a smile playing on his lips, before passing away completely.
"Junior brother, junior brother, Xuan Ning."
Master Qingyi felt the arm that had been gripping his sleeve droop down.
Seeing my junior brother leave with a smile in the end was just because I didn't want him to blame himself.
His junior brother really understands him; even when leaving, he still considers his feelings.
With such a junior brother, how could he bear to let him lie here all alone? Even if he were to die, he would not let the demon have an easy time.
This secret realm is nothing but a conspiracy. So many people were sacrificed, and they were all transformed into nourishment for the demons.
As a disciple of Jingyun Temple, whether for his junior brother's sake or for eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path, he could not allow the demon to leave alive.
"Human Demon, you killed my junior brother and used their blood essence as nourishment. This secret realm is your backup plan for transformation, isn't it?"
When Master Qingyi saw that the demon was still devouring his junior brother's heart blood, he directly exposed his plan.
"What? What do you mean by that, Master Qingyi?"
Lei Xing, standing to the side, could hardly believe that their four great families were actually this guy's nourishment.
But what happened along the way forced him to believe it.
"You Taoist priest know quite a lot. Since you've told me, I have nothing to hide from you."
That is indeed the case. The four blood beads that your four ancestors obtained could change their martial arts talents after being swallowed.
Back when I was being chased by those Taoist priests, I had a premonition that something terrible was about to happen, so I left behind a lot of jade pendants that led to the secret realm during my escape.
In the end, only these four idiots entered, leaving behind the legacy of the transcendent realm.
It was worth choosing this place as my transition point, hahaha.
Thinking about his scheme, the demon seemed quite pleased with himself. His laughter was aggressive and made people feel uncomfortable.
"What? You bastard, you actually dared to use our Lei family? You deserve to die."
So all your talk about having a lineage that transcends the Grandmaster level is false?
Lei Xing thought about how he had even killed his own son to get here, and if he didn't get any reward, he really wanted to kill the person in front of him.
“Patriarch Lei, haven’t you figured it out yet? This is all this man’s conspiracy, just to lure you here and make you his blood sacrifice materials.”
