Chapter 92: Clay-Sculpted Human with Infinite Lifespan

"I'm afraid there's a good show to watch."

A good show to watch? The nearby loose cultivators couldn't help but be stunned upon hearing this, seemingly a bit confused as to why Su Yuanshan would say such a thing.

Even Cailian couldn't help but glance over here, asking Lv Qingshan with a puzzled expression.

"Master, what does that person's words mean?"

Lv Qingshan frowned, shook his head, and said in a low voice.

"I am not sure either, but I can feel that the dark-faced man does not seem simple. We should just wait and see how things develop!"

Wait and see? This phrase again? Cailian couldn't help but pout, thinking to herself that this was the phrase her master had said the most since they entered; always waiting and seeing, wouldn't this opportunity be snatched away by others? What was the point of us coming here?

Although she was confused in her heart, she had no choice but to obey obediently.

Tian Ruoyun also turned her head to glance at Su Yuanshan and whispered to the Sect Master of the Yaoguang Sword Sect, Xie Lingyu.

"Master, have you noticed that the dark-faced man seems a bit strange?"

Xie Lingyu, who had been keeping her eyes closed and silent, opened her beautiful eyes and smiled slightly.

"In what way is he strange? Do you feel like he is familiar?"

Tian Ruoyun's eyes lit up.

"Yes, Master, that is exactly the feeling! So you have it too? It really is so strange; this disciple has racked her brains and still cannot think of where I have seen this person!"

At this time, Huang Yang, who was beside them, laughed in a low voice.

"This is probably what is called 'eye affinity,' right? His appearance is covered by a bamboo hat, so it is not very clear, but friends with black skin should be rare; at least I have never seen this person."

However, they only chatted about Su Yuanshan for a few sentences before quickly shifting the topic to the Five Ghosts Sect.

Watching the Five Ghosts Sect disciples walking over, holding the Water-Moon Jade Plate and beaming with joy, it was inevitable that others would feel a bit envious.

Walking at the very front was a Protector of the Five Ghosts Sect, his waist held straight, with a great sense of feeling proud and elated. Following behind him was his prized disciple, holding that jade plate in his hands, unable to hide the smugness on his face.

Seeing the Guiyuan Sect, Jade Maiden Palace, and Su Yuanshan and the others, the Five Ghosts Sect Protector said arrogantly.

"Our sect has already found the Water-Moon Jade Plate. Next, we should discuss the distribution of future gains. This old man believes that my Five Ghosts Sect should take the lead..."

Before his word "gains" could even be spoken, a scream was heard. Suddenly, several wood-like tentacles extended from the Water-Moon Jade Plate, directly piercing the body of the Five Ghosts Sect disciple who was holding it.

His hands loosened, and the jade plate slipped and fell on the spot. The moment the jade plate hit the ground and shattered into pieces, a "Boom" was heard. At the point where the jade plate landed, a "Doomsday Flower" suddenly bloomed. Countless vines, like tentacles, instantly shot out in all directions like a sky-net, wantonly tracking and hunting those Five Ghosts Sect disciples.

The Five Ghosts Sect Protector bore the brunt of it, his chest directly pierced by the vines. They surged out wildly from his ears, nose, mouth, and eyes, and finally, with a "pop," they instantly burst his body like a balloon. The remains, fragments, and blood-stained vines instantly poured onto the ground, forming a green ocean.

"Run!"

"Flee quickly!"

"Help!"

Screams rose one after another, and there was panic everywhere.

Everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they scrambled to hide. Finally, this "ocean" of plants became still. Bright flowers bloomed on each vine, blooming in full, forming an ocean of flowers, as red as blood!

The others were safe and sound, but the Five Ghosts Sect disciples were all dead—not a single one survived!

Everyone was dumbfounded, staring blankly at this sea of flowers, seemingly still having lingering fears.

"This is a curse! That Water-Moon Jade Plate is a curse! Fortunately, fortunately!" An elder of the Guiyuan Sect turned pale, rejoicing that the disciples of their sect had not gone to look for that Water-Moon Jade Plate.

A crane-haired scholar from the Kaiyuan Academy sighed and said.

"Rather than calling it a curse, it would be better to call it a trap!"

However, that Guiyuan Sect elder shook his head and said.

"A trap is not necessarily the case. I'm afraid the Five Ghosts Sect guessed wrong. That was not a head-hidden poem, but a tail-hidden poem; the poem's title already pointed it out!"

The crane-haired scholar nodded slightly.

"Hmm! 'Immovable'! What you say, fellow Daoist, is not without reason. However, if we just stay motionless and wear ourselves out like this, I'm afraid that is not a solution either, right?"

The Guiyuan Sect elder added again.

"Staying motionless is naturally not the way. Although this is not a head-hidden poem, this old man thinks it might be a tail-hidden poem."

The crane-haired scholar raised his thick eyebrows slightly.

"A tail-hidden poem? You mean the solution lies within these 'Heaven, Sleep, Temple, Boat'?"

The Guiyuan Sect elder nodded slightly.

"That's right, combined with the head-hidden, it should be feasible. So this old man thinks we should give it a try."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the disciples of Jade Maiden Palace, Wuyang Temple, Yaoguang Sword Sect, and Su Yuanshan and the others, asking.

"What do you fellow Daoists think?"

However, apart from the people from the Kaiyuan Academy, no one else responded to him. The Guiyuan Sect elder sighed and said to his disciples.

"Let's go!"

Su Yuanshan remained standing there, motionless. He was actually observing his surroundings.

Apart from the Ming Hu beside him, there was only the boundless mountain forest shrouded in thick fog.

It was not that Su Yuanshan did not want to move, but he had a bad premonition—a premonition that no matter what everyone did, the result would be the same!

The enemy could not be seen at all, and here, they were on their home turf, occupying the favorable terrain.

Before finding a way to completely defeat the opponent, no matter what one did, it would be futile; the probability of failure was infinitely close to one hundred percent.

And since I am a clay-sculpted human, I don't have to worry about physical changes at all, and my lifespan is nearly infinite. Unless I take a forced risk and potentially make a mistake and get killed, as long as I stay steady and don't act recklessly, I basically don't have to worry about the danger of dying young. Before finding a way to solve this completely, why should I be in a hurry to put myself in danger?

Moreover, I discovered that this Taoyuan Xujing is affected by some unknown reason; the flow of time here is several times faster than in the real world. In this Taoyuan Xujing, relying solely on my nearly heaven-defying infinite lifespan, just by wearing it out, even if the enemy is a rock, I can grind it into dust. So, before finding a solution, what am I in such a hurry for?

Now, using stillness to control movement is probably the safest and most secure method!

Therefore, when Su Yuanshan had this one thought, while the Guiyuan Sect was in a hurry to leave to find whatever "Heaven, Sleep, Temple, Boat" was, he did not move.

When the disciples of the Kaiyuan Academy followed, he also had no intention of moving. He had already made up his mind to "camp" in this Taoyuan Xujing for a while!

"Master, should we go over and take a look too?" Cailian still couldn't help it and begged Lv Qingshan to let her go over and take a look.

However, Lv Qingshan frowned, looking at the backs of the Kaiyuan Academy group, and then swept his gaze over the Yunu Gong disciples, Xie Lingyu, and Su Yuanshan, Sima Wuhen, and the others, sighed, and replied in a low voice.

"Wait a moment first; your master feels... it is not yet the time."
