Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1537 The Untamed 17

In the illusion, Wei Ying turned into one living being after another that was devoured by the Slaughtering Black Tortoise. At first, he still remembered who he was, and when facing the Slaughtering Black Tortoise, he fought hard, and even killed the Slaughtering Black Tortoise without Jiang Cheng's cooperation.

But these resentful souls never thought of giving Wei Ying time. As time passed, his spiritual power and vitality were depleted a lot. Gradually, he was no match for the Slaughtering Black Tortoise.

So he was gradually affected by these resentments and lost himself. He almost forgot that he was not one of the monks or mortals who died innocently at the mouth of the Slaughtering Black Tortoise. However, the pain and despair he felt every time he was bitten or swallowed by the Slaughtering Black Tortoise began to consume his spiritual consciousness.

Jiang Cheng was running around anxiously outside. He did everything he could for Wei Ying, but Wei Ying's condition seemed to be getting worse and worse, and his body was becoming visibly thinner. He thought about it and decided to purify the resentment here first and not let it continue to grow.

Because he was worried about Wei Ying's safety, Jiang Cheng had no intention of using gentle means to deal with those stubborn people who refused to leave. After all, those people had been dead for so long, and it was not him who killed them. It was already a kind gesture for him to take the time to come and help to pray for their souls. Any more would be impolite.

By the time Jiang Cheng had finished saving the souls, it was already pitch dark. The cave was fishy and smelly, and a Slaughtering Black Tortoise had died there, so they could no longer stay there.

Wei Ying's condition seems to have improved a lot. Although he is still trapped in the illusion and has not come out for the time being, the loss of his energy has stopped, his spiritual altar is safe and sound, and his spiritual consciousness is only slightly damaged. These symptoms can be restored to normal after taking a few pills.

After finding a safe place again, Jiang Cheng finally had time to send a message to his family, and Jiang Fengmian also wrote back saying that the Jiang family had responded to the Lan family's call to attack the Wen family, but several small families in the north of Yunmeng did not have time to seek help from all sides, and now they have been wiped out by the Wen family to vent their anger.

After thinking it over again and again, Jiang Cheng finally replied that he knew it. Jiang Fengmian must have his own plans for other things. It would take him two days to get back.

Wei Ying was still in great pain, and Jiang Cheng didn't want to wait any longer, so he set up a few barriers and then left his body to enter Wei Ying's spirit platform to look for him.

At this time, he hated the fact that he had not been able to practice in the previous few worlds, and he had no way to unlock the seal on his soul. He thought that he must find an opportunity to deal with the mass grave, and then use the huge merit to unlock the seal in one fell swoop, otherwise he would probably have a harder and harder life in the future.

Wei Ying didn't know what was going on. He was clearly the son of destiny favored by heaven, but his life was full of misfortunes. Now, without him noticing, even his spirit platform was infected by resentment, and he was powerless to change the situation. He could only bring Wei Ying's consciousness out. The matter of the resentment entering his heart and body could only be dealt with later.

Wei Ying had been through a lot in the past two days, but he could still smile and comfort Jiang Cheng: "Ah Cheng, they say that God has his own plans. That day, I spoke to Mr. Lan in front of many students. Now it seems that I may really be the one who opens up the ghost path."

Jiang Cheng was furious. If he hadn’t been concerned about Wei Ying’s health, he would have slapped him!

"What are you talking about?!"

"I never knew you were so narcissistic. There have been so many brilliant cultivators over the past thousands of years, how come you are the only one who can open up the so-called ghost path and use resentment to practice?"

As Wei Ying laughed, his eyes turned red and a line of tears fell uncontrollably.

When he fell into the illusion just now, he really realized his mission, so he reminded Jiang Cheng: "Ah Cheng, is the rusty sword we found in the belly of the Slaughtering Black Tortoise still in your hand?"

Jiang Cheng wanted to say that of course it was there, but he searched through several storage bags carefully and could not find any trace of the rusty sword. The next moment, he saw Wei Ying summon out the sword that had turned pitch black and did not reflect any light from his dantian.

Jiang Cheng was shocked and hurried to check Wei Ying's Dantian, but Wei Ying raised his hand to block him, "Don't worry, Cheng, I just let this Yin Iron Sword recognize its master. It turns out that this sword is the last piece of Yin Iron fragment, and also the most important one. Even without the other four pieces, this alone can be used to refine Yin Iron again."

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and thought about his past memories, trying to find a way to save Wei Ying, but Wei Ying leaned weakly on his shoulder and said coquettishly, "Ah Cheng, I'm so tired, can you sleep with me for a while?"

Jiang Cheng cursed inwardly for being such a pretentious guy, but he moved closer to Wei Ying and even took the initiative to adjust his posture to make him more comfortable.

When Jiang Cheng reacted, he just felt a headache, and he could do nothing about Wei Ying's evasive attitude.

However, things could be even worse. Not only was the Yin Tie Sword that had just been taken out of the Slaughtering Black Tortoise's belly recognized as its master by Wei Ying, but even the three purified Yin Tie fragments disappeared. Jiang Cheng knew that the three Yin Tie fragments must have gone with the Yin Tie sword. The Yin Tie sword had not yet been purified, and the three Yin Tie fragments might have been purified in vain.

The next morning, Wei Ying was about to set off to return to Lotus Pier, but Jiang Cheng felt no hurry and said to Wei Ying directly: "Bring out the Yin Iron Sword and the Yin Iron Fragments, I will see if I can purify them."

Wei Ying turned his head away from Jiang Cheng to prevent him from looking into his eyes. He also pulled back his wrist that was held in Jiang Cheng's hand and said casually, "There's no rush for purification. The safety of Lotus Pier is more important right now."

Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand and forcefully turned Wei Ying's body to face him, and said seriously: "It's fine if you don't let me check your Dantian, but I want to purify the Yin Iron Sword and Yin Iron Fragments immediately, otherwise I will be worried."

Wei Ying secretly took a deep breath, adjusted his expression, and then he raised his head to Jiang Cheng with a smile and pleaded softly: "Oh, Cheng——"

"I know you care about me, but we don't know what the current situation is in Lotus Pier. I escaped from under Wen Chao's nose, and I don't know if I will implicate other people, especially Wen Qing. As long as Wen Chao checks those wolfhounds, he will find traces of drugs..."

Jiang Cheng was just slightly careless yesterday, which caused Wei Ying to suffer such a great hardship. How dare he repeat the same mistake today?

He also began to show weakness to Wei Ying, "Ah Xian, I know your condition must be very serious, but I don't mean anything else. I'm just worried that it's not good for your health—"

A man who had always been strong and never showed weakness suddenly begged softly and softened his attitude. Wei Ying was no match for Jiang Cheng and could only tell his story half-truthfully: "Ah Cheng, I am not lying to you. The way of heaven in this world is not complete, so cultivators can only cultivate an empty Void Pill, and even their lifespan is only thirty or forty years longer than that of ordinary people."

"You see, I am trapped in an illusion. Actually, it cannot be completely explained in this way. I am inspired by the heaven and earth. In the future, I will definitely bring Yin Iron to create the Ghost Path and use Yin Qi, resentment and hostility to practice."
