23: Demonic Meat Field

“Huh, that’s not right?

The demonic meat growing in the Meat Field can actually extend hundreds of black tentacles and actively prey on birds… This… is truly a bit strange…”

Gu Changsheng frowned.

According to the introduction of the Meat Field in the golden plaque, the demonic meat in the Meat Field is unconscious and only devours dead things.

If grains are thrown in, it eats vegetarian.

Occasionally, it would also eat some meat.

But it was not cost-effective; one catty of meat barely equaled three catties of millet.

In reality, raising one catty of beef or mutton costs much more than growing grain.

Therefore, the Great Shang Dynasty had always fed the Meat Fields with millet.

“Is it a special Meat Field, or… is there another reason?”

Gu Changsheng thought for a moment and decided to use the Divination Technique to divine it.

He took out a crystalline tortoise shell from his yin toad pouch.

It was the one he had obtained from the Daoist Tortoise a few years ago.

Since the tortoise shell had a limited number of uses, it would be destroyed once cracks covered it.

And its quality was related to the accuracy of the Divination Technique.

Therefore, Gu Changsheng rarely used it.

Now, there were only a few cracks on it.

He could not spare it now.

Gu Changsheng threw the tortoise shell into the stove, raised his hand to form a spell, and began to divine the Meat Field in his mind.

Clatter——

Sparks flew, and a crack appeared on the tortoise shell.

Gu Changsheng ignored the burning sensation, took it out, and examined it.

He saw a crooked crack running from the top through the entire tortoise shell, almost shattering it.

“Auspicious with… ominous… Does that mean… the Meat Field is real… but this trip will be accompanied by danger.”

Gu Changsheng pondered for a while but still decided to set off.

The Nine Revolutions of Golden Body, after each revolution, required an immense amount of Qi and blood.

Now that a Meat Field had appeared in the wilderness, if he could obtain it, it would be greatly beneficial for his future Cultivation, making it worth the risk.

In a valley in the desolate mountains.

Black Qi permeated, and a black patch of land on the ground glistened with grease, hundreds of slender tentacles twisting like mad snakes.

A group of scantily clad refugees, looking dazed, stumbled into the muddy ground.

The black tentacles instantly wrapped around them, secreting black liquid that dissolved their bodies.

Visibly, the refugees' flesh and blood turned into black pus and flowed into the ground, revealing their stark white bones, yet their faces showed expressions of enjoyment.

In a few breaths, their bodies turned into white bones and fell into the field.

The black tentacles wriggled, and the white bones were crushed, swallowed, and disappeared.

“Eternal Mother, boundless magic power.

Farewell, everyone… may you ascend to the Pure Land of Eternal Bliss soon.”

“Ascend to the Pure Land of Eternal Bliss soon…”

Outside the refugees, White Lotus Sect disciples, dressed in white robes with white lotus flowers embroidered on their cuffs, chanted scriptures, performing rites for the refugees thrown into the Meat Field.

On the high platform, a woman in white robes raised the corner of her mouth, a bloodthirsty excitement appearing on her cold face.

‘My luck has arrived!

Choosing to split up with the Sixth Envoy to carry out the mission was indeed the correct choice.

I actually found a Meat Field… The demonic meat here has a rich aroma. After harvesting it and exchanging it for resources, it will be enough for me to Cultivate the White Lotus Celestial Silkworm Scripture to the sixth layer, and the True Core will be within reach.

By then, it will be my turn to seek trouble with that bitch.’

When a Dynasty is on the verge of collapse, Prodigies are bound to appear.

The Great Shang was in turmoil, with rebellions constantly breaking out in various places. Among the largest forces were the Yellow Turban Army, the Luosheng Sect, and the White Lotus Sect.

Under the guise of spreading their teachings, they rallied refugees and seized cities and territories.

The Yellow Turban Celestial Master, the Luosheng Sect Leader, and the Eternal Mother behind them were all supreme powerhouses in the Cultivation world.

The Great Shang Dynasty was constantly troubled by them.

At this moment, the Ninth Envoy frowned, her clear gaze like a sharp sword piercing towards a large rock.

“Who is hiding there!”

She flipped her fair palm, and black Qi churned, transforming into a ferocious maw.

With an aerial press, the boulder exploded, and a phantom figure flashed to the side.

Gu Changsheng wore a wry smile.

As his enemies grew stronger, his Fox Shadow Technique became less and less effective.

The white-robed woman in front of him, though strong in aura, was only at the Peak of the Foundation Building Realm.

He still couldn't hide from her.

‘I need to find a profound Qi concealment technique in the future…’

Seeing that he was exposed, Gu Changsheng no longer concealed himself. He simply revealed his figure openly, his gaze fixed on the Ninth Envoy, and he frowned.

“On the surface, the White Lotus Sect’s doctrine is to rescue the people from suffering.

But secretly, you use living people to feed the Meat Field.

Aren’t you afraid that if this gets out, your reputation will be completely ruined?”

“Hmph… This Envoy is merely allowing them to ascend to the Pure Land of Eternal Bliss and meet the Eternal Mother.

As for it getting out… do you have the life for it!”

“Eternal Mother… White Lotus Sacred Talisman… Go!”

The Ninth Envoy raised a finger, and seven or eight white lotus phantoms surged from her body, flying out, emitting an icy blue aura, and striking towards Gu Changsheng’s face.

Gu Changsheng transformed into a blood shadow and dodged.

Blood Ignition!

Bang bang bang——

The white lotus phantoms crashed into the mountain, like massive bronze bells weighing ten thousand catties, emitting a huge roar.

Cold Qi shot out from the white lotus petals, freezing half of the mountain, turning it into a silvery-white ice mountain.

“What terrifying cold Qi.”

Gu Changsheng squinted his eyes.

The Ninth Envoy’s figure suddenly swelled, countless tumors bursting through her clothes, transforming her into a thirty-meter-long tumor ice silkworm.

Its maw was ferocious, and hundreds of tumorous limbs secreted an icy blue liquid.

Black Qi surged sky-high, fully displaying the aura of a Peak Foundation Building Realm Cultivator.

“No matter who you are… you are dead…”

A demonic sound emanated from the ferocious tumor ice silkworm’s head.

“Oh, Peak Foundation Building Realm… what strong pressure.

However, it is still within my capabilities.”

Gu Changsheng circulated his Qi and blood, the Blood Dragon in his spine roared, and golden light appeared on his body.

Three inches beneath his skin, an Asura Dharma Body of a malevolent ghost appeared.

Asura Golden Body!

Strength flowed throughout his body, and Gu Changsheng’s figure surged to four meters. He stomped his foot and disappeared from his original spot.

He unleashed a powerful punch, creating a terrifying sonic boom. The force of the punch shattered the blue ice armor on the ice silkworm’s body, turning it into hundreds of flying fragments.

Gu Changsheng, seizing the advantage, grabbed the enormous silkworm tail, let out a fierce roar, and slammed the thirty-meter-long tumor ice silkworm onto the ground.

Immediately, the earth shook, and dust rose everywhere.

After ten breaths, the ground collapsed, leaving a huge deep pit.

Inside the pit, the completely naked Ninth Envoy vomited blood, looking at Gu Changsheng above with eyes full of terror.

She, a dignified Peak Foundation Building Realm Cultivator, was beaten like a stray dog by someone in the Middle Stage of the Foundation Building Realm.

She even faced the risk of death.

“This strength… monster… monster… Pfft…”

Another mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.

The Ninth Envoy struggled to gather her breath and performed a spell.

At this moment, a punch force struck, like a dark shadow falling into the deep pit.

Bang——

A scream came from the pit, and a mass of bloody flesh was visible.

Gu Changsheng, however, frowned slightly, looking at the White Lotus Sect disciples fleeing in all directions in the distance.

“The Substitution Technique is truly profound.

It almost deceived even me.”

Gu Changsheng’s spirit eyes emitted a sharp gleam, firmly locking his aura onto a fleeing White Lotus Sect disciple.

At this moment, the Ninth Envoy wished she had an extra leg, regretting only that her speed was not fast enough.

Sensing that her aura was locked, her face instantly became ferocious, and she turned around, roaring angrily.

“I am the Ninth Envoy under the White Lotus Saint Mother.

If you kill me, you will offend my White Lotus Sect, and you will die sooner or later.

Let me go, and this Meat Field is yours!”

Gu Changsheng was unmoved, his speed undiminished.

The Ninth Envoy was furious in her heart. She had no choice but to use a life-saving secret technique, pulling out a white lotus from her bosom and stuffing it into her mouth.

Immediately, her aura rapidly increased.

Peak Foundation Building Realm… True Core… No, infinitely close to True Core.

“You forced my hand…”

The Ninth Envoy’s body twisted and mutated, countless white lotus roots grew from her mouth, her eyeballs burst, and white lotus petals floated from her back, each petal containing a terrifying aura.

At this moment, the hundreds of tentacles that were originally twisting in the Meat Field suddenly converged, forming a giant black bloody maw. It snapped open fiercely, actually swallowing the Ninth Envoy into the Meat Field in one gulp.

At the same time, the mountain rocks on both sides trembled continuously, rolling down to the ground.

Black Qi churned, obscuring the sky and sun, casting down two crimson gazes.

Gu Changsheng’s eyes widened, and an alarm blared frantically in his heart.

Who would have thought that this Meat Field was actually a demon’s bait.
