240: Chapter 240 Barbarian Stone Joins

After the massive shock came uncontrollable ecstasy.

If... if he could also obtain this method... Savage Stone's breathing became heavy, his eyes flickering intensely as if weighing the possibility of seizing it by force.

But looking at the few people in front of him, whose strength was not much different from his own, he suppressed that thought.

"It seems... what Fellow Daoist said is true. State your conditions; what will it take to give me this method?"

Yin Gu was satisfied with Savage Stone's reaction and slowly restrained his Aura:

"The method can be given to you, and you can even obtain a great Opportunity. However... there is one condition."

"What condition?"

Yin Gu didn't answer, but instead showed a meaningful smile:

"If you want to know, come with me."

His tone carried certainty and fanaticism, causing the curiosity and vigilance in Savage Stone's heart to reach their peak simultaneously.

After hesitating for just a moment, the desire in his heart outweighed other emotions:

"Lead the way!"

Following Yin Gu and the others through many twists and turns, they arrived at an extremely hidden tunnel within the mine.

Just as they approached, Savage Stone heard dense hammering sounds coming from within.

The sounds were frequent and powerful, as if they never felt fatigue.

As Yin Gu walked deep into the tunnel, the sight before him made Savage Stone's pupils shrink, and he gasped.

In this not-so-wide tunnel, nearly a hundred miners were mining vigorously.

What horrified him even more was that these miners were all surging with three-colored flames burning their essence blood, Divine Soul, and Lifespan, with all their strength focused on the pickaxes in their hands.

"These... these people... are they crazy?!"

Savage Stone's voice was dry.

He recognized many faces among them; they were the Cultivators who had previously been corroded by the miasma and were sitting paralyzed, waiting for death.

Seeing Savage Stone's shocked expression, Yin Gu smiled triumphantly:

"Heh... it's just burning Lifespan, essence blood, and Divine Soul... They already possess immortal and indestructible bodies; such consumption is not worth mentioning at all."

"Immortal and indestructible?! How is that possible..."

Savage Stone was incredibly shocked, his voice changing pitch.

He stared fixedly at the expressionless figures in the flames, frantically swinging their pickaxes. The lives of those Cultivators were burning at an exaggerated rate, yet they showed no signs of decay or death.

"Nothing is impossible."

A calm voice sounded behind Savage Stone.

Savage Stone turned abruptly, his muscles tensed, and his Aura fully unleashed.

Behind him appeared a Cultivator dressed in clean green robes, different from all the grey-clothed miners, standing with his hands behind his back, looking at him with an indifferent gaze.

Most importantly, he saw no trace of an immortal locking ring on the Cultivator's neck.

"Who are you?! How did you get in?!"

Hearing this, Su Mo smiled lightly:

"I am like you, a Cultivator who ascended from the Lower Realm, though I didn't take the Ascension Platform. As for how I got in, you don't need to know."

Changing the subject:

"Leading you here was exactly my intention."

Savage Stone's expression was grave, his voice low:

"What do you want?"

"What do I want? You should be asking what we ascended Cultivators want."

Su Mo smiled slightly:

"That is immortal essence stones! A massive amount of immortal essence stones! To absorb and refine these stones, then break out of this place and establish a foothold in this realm!"

Every word he spoke struck heavily on Savage Stone's heart.

The fire buried deep in Savage Stone's heart, which had never been extinguished, gushed out.

Which Ascender didn't come in pursuit of greater power and a broader world?

Who would willingly be trapped forever in this dark, sunless mine to work like a beast of burden?

Seeing Savage Stone begin to hesitate, Su Mo continued:

"Will you join me? I can grant you the ability to absorb immortal essence stones here, the ability to unlock the immortal locking ring, and even the ability to be immortal and indestructible!"

Hearing this, Savage Stone snapped out of it and sneered:

"Immortal and indestructible? How is that possible?"

Su Mo didn't speak, but turned his gaze toward Yin Gu, who immediately understood.

"Qing Ming, help me out; take off this immortal locking ring."

As soon as the words fell, Qing Ming did not hesitate at all. With a swipe of his sword finger, Yin Gu's head immediately flew high.

Then Qing Ming gave a light flick, and the immortal locking ring detached from the neck.

"You're crazy..."

Savage Stone's sneer froze on his face, turning into unbelievable horror.

He watched helplessly as Yin Gu's head flew up and his Divine Soul was crushed by the Sword Intent, dying as completely as possible.

The next moment, Su Mo reached out and snapped his fingers.

In an instant, Yin Gu's body was restored perfectly once again, and the immortal locking ring on his neck had disappeared, as if the scene just now had never happened.

Yin Gu grinned at the dumbfounded Savage Stone:

"How about it, Fellow Daoist Savage Stone? Do you believe it now?"

Savage Stone felt as if all his strength had been drained, and he stumbled back two steps.

"You... just what are you..."

Su Mo interrupted him, his tone flat:

"I am the one who can give you a new life. Become my subordinate, and I can give you power, freedom, and eternal life. If you refuse, I can only completely erase your consciousness."

His gaze swept over the miners who were still mechanically mining; the meaning was already clear.

After a long deliberation, Savage Stone opened his mouth with difficulty, his voice dry:

"I... am willing..."

Su Mo nodded with satisfaction and patted Savage Stone on the shoulder:

"Don't worry, you won't regret this choice."

"Follow me."

Su Mo turned and entered a pre-arranged spatial portal, his figure disappearing.

Savage Stone took a deep breath, suppressed the unease in his heart, and followed closely.

"This is... another space?!"

He looked around; within the space spanning a thousand miles, there was no pungent smell of corrupt immortal miasma, only the faint, permeating Immortal Qi.

"Indeed! This is the space that comes with an Immortal Artifact in my hand. It isolates the miasma, allowing one to absorb immortal essence stones and Cultivate here."

"However, we must finish one thing first."

Su Mo lightly raised his hand, and a massive black ant appeared in the space.

"Possess it, and you will have an immortal and indestructible body and infinite Lifespan."

"Possess an ant? Are you joking?"

Yin Gu had long expected Savage Stone's reaction and chuckled:

"Fellow Daoist Savage Stone, we only possess such miraculous properties because we possessed these Zerg. If you don't believe it, try it yourself."

Savage Stone was now in a position where he couldn't back down, so he could only begin the Possession... After a long time, Savage Stone looked at his current body with a face full of shock.

No matter how he harmed this body, burning essence blood, Lifespan, or Divine Soul, it would return to its original state the next second.

"Hahaha! It's actually true!"

"How does it feel?"

Su Mo's voice pulled him back from his ecstasy.

Savage Stone immediately answered respectfully:

"Thank you, Senior! I feel better than ever before!"

Su Mo nodded with satisfaction:

"Very good, then it's time to start planning."

He told Savage Stone about his plan.

He wanted Savage Stone to bring the people from his team over one by one. Those who agreed to join Su Mo's command would be given a chance, and those who didn't would be directly converted into Incarnations.
