Main Character:

Shen Yao

Shen Yao and Lu Yan had already brought Fan Sheng into the interior of the parasitic body's host.

When they first entered, there were still some obstacles; after all, the parasitic body's host wasn't without its own consciousness, and upon encountering a treat delivered to its door, it would definitely taste whether it was salty or bland, especially since the treat contained the main course it wanted inside.

But the strange thing was that Shen Yao and Lu Yan weren't really there to be treats; they wanted to use the parasitic body's host as a springboard to leave this Secret Realm.

Parasitic body's host:...?

The parasitic body's host, finding it hard to accept, roared in anger and began waving its jointed limbs to shred the two of them, and even Fan Sheng couldn't stop anything.

Pity that in the end Shen Yao and Lu Yan were more skilled by one move and successfully slipped into the interior of the parasitic body's host, causing the parasitic body's host to hammer the ground several times in anger.

System:...

This parasitic body's host's temper is too explosive; it's not really a big deal.

"Host, we should leave quickly; those outside are about to start rioting, we have no need to get involved in this," whether it was the Immortal Ascension Platform or the Bronze Gate, both were scams.

Right now those people don't know, fighting to the death over the Immortal Ascension Platform; once they discover the Immortal Ascension Platform can't truly lead to ascension, they will definitely rush madly into the Bronze Gate.

The System simply dared not imagine these people walking into the Bronze Gate full of joy at surviving the calamity, only to find that what awaited them upon exiting was not the dangerous Outside, but the parasitic body's host waiting to feed on them.

Hiss—

The scene is too beautiful to bear watching; whose family could have such a hellish ending? Won't the Xuan Yuan Clan and Sima Clan these two groups go directly mad?

The System pinched its nonexistent chin, thinking to itself that this kind of thing not only sounds stimulating, if it really happened who knows how many times more stimulating it would be.

I really want to witness it with my own eyes, but for safety's sake, it still doesn't dare show itself.

Shen Yao:...

The System is too timid, isn't it? Although this parasitic body's host is quite capable, they are currently inside the other party's body; the parasitic body's host has to distract itself dealing with them while also watching that group of greedy people in front, how could it have the energy to manage the System's affairs?

System:...

"Host, it can't be said that way; it's definitely better safe than sorry, I'm doing this for your own good," if it were discovered, the Host would be the one to suffer.

Although the System has no entity (it's just a ball, and one condensed from mist at that), it exists within the Host's sea of consciousness; once the Host's side is controlled, it won't be easy for the System to break free.

Conversely, the System is also easy to be manipulated, and then the Host's location could be inferred in reverse.

The two of them, in certain respects, are existences that share honor and disgrace together, gain and loss together.

"If you want to watch, go secretly watch; rest assured, the current parasitic body's host has no time to find you trouble; if there's a real problem, I'll call you back in advance."

To prevent the System from staying behind to find trouble for itself, Shen Yao simply struck first and directly sent the System away first.

The System didn't know the Host's true thoughts; it thought the Host found it boring and specially found it some fun.

Although it had little confidence in its own abilities, it believed the Host's abilities were very strong; placed in this current xuanhuan world, its own Host was the combat power ceiling; since the Host said there was no problem, then there was no problem; what was it waiting for? Directly start watching.

The System happily went to watch the Sima Clan and Xuan Yuan Clan's group of people's ignorant challenge, and by the way silently recorded the interesting things that happened among them, planning to complain to the Host when it returned.

On the other side, Shen Yao and Lu Yan were still looking for the passage; they wanted to leave, and had to do it while this parasitic body's host was too busy to pay attention to them.

"Do you know the specific location?" Shen Yao asked curiously.

Lu Yan nodded, "There's a general direction in my memory, but the specifics still need to be found slowly."

Shen Yao:...

Impressive; just how capable was that female elder she had never met in planning ahead? She probably hadn't been able to enter the Secret Realm back then.

Lu Yan shook his head, "Mother only got a painting album.

For safety's sake, Mother recorded the contents of the painting album and then burned them all, and before dying sealed the related memories into my sea of consciousness."

Therefore, what Lu Yan could recall were those painting albums; because the specific location wasn't truly experienced, searching for it was still somewhat confusing.

Originally so!

Shen Yao understood, raised her hand and pointed at Lu Yan's sea of consciousness; while Lu Yan turned his head, she indicated she also wanted to see what the painting album was like, and besides, two people searching was more convenient than one; the longer they stayed inside the parasitic body's host, the more dangerous it was, so it was better to get out early.

Lu Yan made an affirmative sound; after Shen Yao finished accepting his memories, the two began to discuss with each other.

Outside, there were more and more people on the Immortal Ascension Platform, the smell of blood in the air grew heavier; everyone, even those high-ranking individuals who had previously been able to remain calm, became heavy-breathing, with pairs of eyes scarlet and indifferent.

They were still influenced by it, and without realizing it fell into the Immortal Ascension Platform's Illusion Realm.

In the System's view, the Immortal Ascension Platform looked just as it did when it first appeared; there might be something inside, but it definitely wasn't related to becoming an immortal.

But in others' eyes, the Immortal Ascension Platform was the true Immortal Ascension Platform, a tool they had sought for many years that could free them from the shackles of lifespan, the key to longevity.

"Immortal Ascension Platform, the true Immortal Ascension Platform, is mine, is mine!"

"Hahahahaha, found it, found it, this is the Immortal Ascension Platform!"

"I want to go up, I want to go up, quick, quick, let me go up!"

"How is it gone? Where is my Immortal? Come over here and summon me."

"......"

Raving madly, speaking nonsense, who knows how many; even the calmest person would be influenced.

The System just silently watched this scene before its eyes that could be called a group of demons dancing wildly, thinking to itself: with such psychological quality, they still dare to seek an Immortal Ascension Platform? Do they know how great a price becoming an immortal and living long requires? How did they think it would be so wonderful, succeeding without doing anything?

The System cursed and complained in various ways, but it still very honestly recorded all the scenes before its eyes and saved them; this was material for future chats with the Host; without these, more than half the fun would be missing.

The smell of blood in the air became strong, and the color transitioned from slowly light red to deep red.

What shocked the System the most was the parasitic body's host becoming excited.

Those jointed limbs were like eager-to-be-fed predatory mouths; they greedily surrounded every person, and even the range of the Immortal Ascension Platform was no exception.

System:...

It's over; these people are probably going to be completely annihilated; I don't know how the Host's search for the passage is going; once the parasitic body's host eats this group of feed into its mouth, the Host will be the next target of attention.

"That really is thanks for your concern. Everything here is progressing well," Shen Yao said, pointing to the flesh buds and writhing jointed limbs on the wall, signaling Lu Yan to follow them. The passage was at the Central Core, which was surely the most important place for the parasite mother body.

Shen Yao didn't forget to reply to the system, then asked about the situation outside.

If nothing unexpected happened, they would soon arrive near the passage, and then they only needed to produce the token to open the passage and leave.

"Outside is of course in chaos. Those people are killing each other for the Immortal Ascension Platform."

The system pursed its lips, saying everything about the Immortal Ascension Platform was fake beyond fake, and besides, who knew what methods the Immortal Ascension Platform had used to actually trap these people.

Whether they had little ability or great ability, even the Clan Heads of the Xuan Yuan Clan and Sima Clan had become much crazier, every one of them shouting about the Immortal Ascension Platform, wanting everything from the Immortal Ascension Platform, wanting immortality, wanting ascension to become immortals.

Shen Yao:...

"What this place is best at is creating illusion realms. Perhaps they are immersed in an illusion realm."

"You take care of your own safety. If anything is wrong, come back immediately," the parasite mother body stared, these people who had gone into chaos surely could not escape the fate of becoming nourishment.

Shen Yao's words landed, and she didn't continue saying anything else to the system. She placed her gaze on a stone platform not far away, somewhat surprised that there was actually an Immortal Ascension Platform here.

Hmm

Is the Immortal Ascension Platform something that can be wholesale? Why are there so many?

Shen Yao and Lu Yan looked at each other. The two had no choice but to walk closer to look, after all, the picture book did not have this stone platform, nor did it have an Immortal Ascension Platform.

"Look here, there is text description," Lu Yan pointed to the small characters on both sides of the stone platform for Shen Yao to see, while he walked around the stone platform and came back.

"This is indeed an Immortal Ascension Platform, except it is a joke made by one person, and it fundamentally has no function of immortality."

Shen Yao finished reading the small characters above, then followed with an explanation of the origin of the Immortal Ascension Platform.

Simply put, it was that some bored cultivator from ten thousand years ago suddenly had a flash of inspiration and wanted to create something.

His original intention was to prank his fellow disciples, so the Immortal Ascension Platform and such were all made up by him.

The fellow disciples naturally didn't believe it much, but the fellow disciples were also very bored, so they simply wrote it in their travelogue to record it.

Until the calamity of ten thousand years ago arrived, and the entire Immortal Cultivation World became a ruin.

The travelogue was inexplicably passed down by later people, and the Immortal Ascension Platform within went from fake to real, eventually evolving into its current appearance.

Shen Yao inferred the cause and effect of the matter through the content of the text records. Although it couldn't be one hundred percent confirmed, it was at least eight or nine out of ten.

Lu Yan:...

Never expected that the cause of the Immortal Ascension Platform was actually just a joke.

If the people outside found out, they would probably be furious. Working hard for so many years, not only losing resources but also reputation, only to find out in the end that everything was fake.

Tsk tsk tsk

Lu Yan was speechless. He could only say it was fortunate that this thing was now inside the parasite mother body. Ordinary people didn't know the passage was here, so they wouldn't come. Otherwise, how much face would those great clans lose? Could the reputation they had painstakingly built withstand such ruin?

"The passage should be inside the Immortal Ascension Platform. We need to walk up the stone platform to open the passage."

The picture book had the conditions and methods for leaving. Comparing it with the text content of the Immortal Ascension Platform, Shen Yao grabbed Lu Yan and walked straight up.

During the process of the two walking around, the area around the stone platform was terrifyingly quiet, as if the parasite mother body really wasn't paying attention to them.

"Did something happen outside?" Otherwise it was hard to explain why the parasite mother body wasn't going berserk.

The two of them brought Fan Sheng. Once they left, they would surely destroy the passage outside.

You have to know that opening a passage once costs much time and effort. Although the parasite mother body could eat enough nourishment by opening the door once, it couldn't really live like that. It must be that a steady flow is more satisfying to the parasite mother body.

The best method was to leave all the people here as nourishment, then later tempt those seeking immortality to cultivate demons and cause the events of Jin Jue City. Of course, if the Bronze Gate could be kept for much time, attracting many people to enter, that would be even better. How boring it was for the parasite mother body to stay in the Secret Realm. It surely liked to find various amusements to pass the time.

"Most likely"

He called the system several times in his mind but got no answer. Surely the liveliness outside was too big, and it was staring without blinking.

"We should take advantage of now, seize the time to leave," Lu Yan said. The next second, he was brought by Shen Yao to appear on the platform at the top of the stone platform.

Thinking this place would be like the stone platform below with nothing, unexpectedly there was a corpse that had already passed away sitting here.

It was a young male, wearing a Blue Outer Robe, sitting upright in a meditation posture in the center. There were no traces of weathering around him, including his expression and skin, which were lifelike, as if he was just asleep, rather than having no breath.

Shen Yao looked him over a few times, confirming this person was the cultivator from ten thousand years ago. The aura on his body was quite strong. Although after such a long time the soul was long gone, the strength of the flesh alone was still very intimidating.

"This at least has the strength of a Nascent Soul. The cultivation world ten thousand years ago should have had many talents." Pity it still couldn't withstand the arrival of the calamity.

"The passage is under this person," Lu Yan said. Suddenly he thought about whether they could move this person's body. Although he didn't understand cultivation, he also had discernment and knew this person was not simple.

There were no other arrangements around the passage, but that didn't mean this was safe. On the contrary, it should be that this place didn't need extra arrangements, because its original protection was already very powerful.

"Leave it to me"

Shen Yao walked to the youth's side, performed the Daoist Greeting according to the rules of the Cultivation World, then raised her hand and lightly lifted the body bearing Nascent Soul pressure. She then called to Lu Yan to bring Fan Sheng and leave together.

"This, this is"

Fan Sheng abruptly opened his eyes, but before he could act, Shen Yao neatly knocked him unconscious.

The originally calm countertop appeared to surge, and the surrounding walls appeared with dense jointed limbs.

Shen Yao raised her hand and pushed Lu Yan into the passage. Then she supported the youth's corpse and blocked it behind her. Taking advantage of the gap, she jumped down the passage while placing the youth's corpse back in its original position.

"Roar!"

The parasite mother body, having missed, was very angry. But the two little bugs had already escaped. It couldn't leave the Secret Realm to take revenge now, so it could only vent all its stuffy anger on these people before it.

The unlucky ones who had just been killing each other over the fake Immortal Ascension Platform, finally woke up only to be chased by the parasite mother body, and after great effort entered the Bronze Gate only to return to the front of the parasite mother body, completely collapsed.

What on earth was happening? Was it wrong for them to seek immortality? Why not give them a way to live? Were the Human Race of this world abandoned pawns?

Boom!
