This journey to the Spirit Treasure would surely bring disaster.
Tao Qian had imagined the kinds of disasters he might encounter, but none included the scene before him now.
The images before him were not threatening his life, but were interrogating his soul.
At this mont, as Tao Qian watched these scenes, watched beings like him from the Human Clan being dismbered, roasted, and fed to the demons and others, especially the latter, the scenes of cannibalism suddenly stirred the Immortal Spirit Qi within him.
In a trance, Tao Qian saw a "future."
If he were willing to heed the advice of the Pig Demon, to rge into it, he could instantly achieve an unimaginable promotion in both his Cultivation Realm and his Divine Power Skills, leaping from a Qi Refining Realm cultivator to a Foundation Establishnt Realm or even a more powerful Great Demon, roaming the world at will.
The cost?
No, there was no cost, just a re integration into this way of the world.
Beneath his Daoist robe, changes had already begun to manifest; fine flesh buds erged, emitting a strange fishy at scent, and a faint green light started to appear in his eyes...
The Pig Demon, seemingly very familiar with this scene, mysteriously smiled, pulled Tao Qian to sit down, and said with a stinking breath,
"Those few verses of Buddha's verse were specially obtained by our Fragrant at Collection's own Mr. Zhu Wuxin from the Bodhisattva. Many Daoists just can't let go of their obsessions, hence the discrimination between this at and that at. at is just at; its fragrance and appetite don't lie. Many Daoists have gained a lot after hearing these few lines."
"Daoist, since you're new here, I suggest you stay a few more days at our Fragrant at Collection, thoroughly enjoy yourself, and then truly understand what the Dao that you cultivate really is?"
"Look up there, our Mr. Zhu Wuxin was once a human seeking immortality too. He happened to acquire a 'Cannibal Scripture' and truly understood the Great Dao. Now his cultivation has reached the Foundation Establishnt Realm, and even in the main hall on Iron Buddha Mountain, he has a place."
"Our master enjoys arena battles, especially those that involve wild demons and those conflicted Human Clan cultivators fighting each other."
"Daoist, look over there. The disobedient cultivators all end up just like that."
While speaking, the obviously malevolent Pig Demon gestured to Tao Qian.
Not far away stood a tall platform.
On it sat a monstrous Devil Pig with overwhelming demonic energy. Its retained human features, or rather the traces of humanity left in him, belonged to a fat man clad in armor, his coarse yellow mane framing a huge and ugly head with rotten teeth showing and a ghastly pale complexion.
A pair of blood-red eyes could shatter the courage of anyone who t his gaze.
Many Fox Demons and Snake Demons surrounded him, leaning on him, feeding him or fanning him, busy as bees.
Below the platform, there were clearly ten huge cages lined up.
Within every cage, a rciless slaughter was unfolding.
n and won, old and young, of the Human Clan, were all present, and their opponents were demons of various bizarre shapes.
When Tao Qian looked over, all the Human Clan cultivators in the cages had been defeated and even killed; Tao Qian did not even have ti to clearly see the true appearances of those ten cultivators.
What was happening in the cages was not a fight but a unilateral massacre.
As soon as the ten Human Clan cultivators died, the surrounding demons, those Evil Cultivators who had tasted human flesh, all cheered and howled in unison.
Especially when they watched the demons inside the cages start to gnaw on the corpses, their excitent escalated to madness.
Among them were three female cultivators, who, even in death, could not find peace.
The beasts around the cages began urging the frenzied demons on, even throwing aphrodisiacs into the cages, their faces crazed as they shouted, "Quick, get on with it… co on, perform for … hahaha."
While Tao Qian was watching this, the face of the Pig Demon, grinning grotesquely, ca closer again.
He was incredibly eager, hoping that this "Corpse Chasing Daoist" who had mutated into a follower of heresy and heterodoxy would easily fall under this maniacal atmosphere.
If the Daoist resisted, that did not matter.
He just needed to shout loudly, and soon the Daoist would be thrown into the cage, and he could also get a bonus for it.
To make it more exciting, the Pig Demon stuffed a human skin nu into Tao Qian's hands and then boasted proudly:
"Daoist can watch while eating. This Fragrant at Collection is perford daily. Oh, if Daoist finds it hard to choose, just go for our at shop's signature dish."
"You look travel-worn, Daoist; you must start with a pot of child wine. This is a treasure wine brewed from the blood of hundreds of children with added many precious herbs. Just a sip, and you'll be reminiscing for days."
"They say child wine soothes the throat, and the beauty's flesh fills the stomach. Another signature dish of our shop, freshly sliced beauty at. Although the thod is primitive and simple, it wins in the freshness of the ingredients. A pure, raw cut, Daoist should try it; the taste is indescribable. However, this raw dish will take another half an hour. The fresh humans in the collection have just run out, and the at Transport Official is hurrying in more. They say good food is worth waiting for. Daoist can order first, then wait a bit."
"In the anti, Daoist can start with the most popular dish from our shop, 'Buddha Jumps Wall'. The preparation is exceptionally complex; just the ingredients require dozens of the tastiest parts like human heart, marrow, brain, tongue... and so on. They are put into a porcelain jar and stewed for a full seven or eight hours. In the end, a drop of a Human Clan cultivator's heart blood is added. Wow, the aroma, even Buddha's son would jump over the wall to have a bowl."
"Our boss, ah, initially won great praise from the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva with this dish…"
He was about to continue, suddenly realizing that the Daoist had fallen inexplicably silent.
And then, he saw Tao Qian suddenly rise up, not even giving him a glance, directly heading towards the high platform.
With every step he took, terrifying transformations visibly occurred on his body: The skin exposed outside was not only densely covered in small buds but also continuously bulged with lumps. These lumps surfaced with twisted faces that continuously changed expressions. His originally clear eyes also began to exhibit a bloody ferocity, and anyone could sense the devilish aura soaring into the sky from him.
Thus, as Tao Qian passed by, all the demons and Evil Cultivators laughed loudly and cleared the way.
As he approached the platform and was stopped by the guards, Tao Qian took out the "Devil God Token" and threw it over.
Soon, Tao Qian was able to step onto the platform, which offered a panoramic view of the bustling scenes within the Fragrant at Collection and the cruel, disgusting spectacle within the cage.
Upon setting foot on the platform, he saw the mutated Pig Demon of the Foundation Establishnt Realm sitting on a giant chair, who burst into laughter and said,
"This brother carries the Devil God Token and cos from Iron Buddha Mountain, is there any ssage from the mountain for ?"
"No hurry, no hurry, let's enjoy ourselves first."
Tao Qian, now exuding the aura of a demon and claiming to be from Iron Buddha Temple while holding the Devil God Token, naturally didn't arouse any suspicion in 'Zhu Wuxin,' a demon also from Iron Buddha Mountain.
As Tao Qian approached step by step, only a few steps remained between them.
But Zhu Wuxin realized that this fallen Daoist, though staring directly at him, was actually looking beyond him at the brightly lit, extrely bustling Fragrant at Collection spanning several miles.
He thought the Daoist must be envious and was about to boast about it.
But in the next mont, he suddenly heard the Daoist, as if speaking to him yet seemingly talking to himself,
"Ever since I entered the Dao, I've ddled in affairs too large, often feeling restrained and without freedom."
"This Fragrant at Collection holds a concept that's indeed right. One needs to open one's mind; if there are desires, they need to be vented out."
"So, I ask all of you to deal with this heart full of murderous desire of mine now."
"Boom."
As Tao Qian uttered the last phrase and suddenly lifted his head, releasing all the killing intent within him.
The "Nine True Spirit Sound", which had been brewing for a long ti, also erupted at that mont.
It was not only Zhu Wuxin, the Foundation Establishnt Realm Pig Demon in front of him, but the entire Fragrant at Collection heard that majestic and vast Daoist Spirit Sound.
In an instant, nurous bodies and Divine Souls froze.
Then, with a thunderous roar, a sword light swept out, as if it could pierce mountains, instantly turning the platform into dust. A huge hairy pig demon, the size of a hill, let out a heart-wrenching scream, its body, overflowing with demonic Qi, was impaled midair by the sword light.
From its mouth, piercing through its devil body.
Even with its Foundation Establishnt Cultivation, it was severely wounded in an instant.
Half of its body was directly sliced off by the unrivaled "Selfless Sword Intent," and with two loud crashes, two mountain-like chunks of pork fell into the market, along with giant millstone-like pig entrails and an extrely foul-slling large intestine gushing out.
This sight was trendously shocking; the agonizing screams of the pigs even managed to awaken many of the demons and Evil Cultivators frozen by the Spirit Sound.
They woke up with their eyes bulging, hearts shattered, looking unbelievingly at the terrifying human figure that had appeared above the entire Fragrant at Collection.
Though the Pig Demon "Zhu Wuxin" was still howling in agony, his combat strength was clearly stronger than the previously defeated "Jiao Demon" and his skin much tougher.
Suffering such heavy injuries, he sprouted large quantities of "pork tapeworms" from within his body, acting like stitches, attempting to sew the body halves back together.
This magic skill learned from the Naked Saintess, though extrely painful to apply, had Zhu Wuxin howling heartbreakingly. Despite this, he was still glaring at Tao Qian with bloodshot eyes.
However, Tao Qian rely glanced at him casually, the murderous intent in his eyes not diminished by the severe wounding of the pri evil.
Hovering in the air, he looked down at the brightly lit, bustling at market below, watching demons and nurous Human Clan Cultivators eating people scatter and flee.
They were not dumb, knowing they had to split and run.
It was a pity, though, all futile.
Now, Tao Qian had completely unleashed himself, breaking free from his shackles.
With a sudden snicker, he produced a stack of dark blue talisman paper in his hand.
Throwing it around the market, the Spirit Treasure Immortal Spirit Qi imdiately triggered it.
Accompanied by the eruption of one hundred and eight Xuan Yin Invisible Sword Intents, a vast Sword Array instantly ford, enveloping the entire "Fragrant at Collection."
All the demons and Evil Cultivators within the market were trapped in the formation.
"Whether they're Humans or demons, since they've eaten the at and drank the wine, let's all go to Huangquan together."
"This first calamity, I, Tao Qian, willingly accept, hahaha…"
"Boom!"
Amid the loud noise, as Tao Qian completely vented his killing intent, he suddenly rged with the Hundred Refinent Sword Pill, quickly channeling all remaining Spirit Treasure Immortal Spirit Qi within him.
A previously unseen, gigantic column of sword light that seed to be able to pierce the ground burst forth from the sky. Along with it, the endless Xuan Yin Invisible Sword Qi within the sword array also erupted.
The Fragrant at Collection?
No, at this mont, it was rely a at grinding execution ground.
