Covering the Sky: Rise Starting with Card Draws

Chapter 23 Human-shaped He Shou Wu

Suddenly, a stone coffin was pushed open, and a monster with fiery red fur jumped out, its eyes terrifying, and it pounced quickly.

He opened his mouth and spewed out a torrent of black light, like an evil god who had escaped from hell. He actually possessed the supernatural power of an ancient cult leader. However, this kind of attack was like a gentle breeze in front of Chen Hao, and could not cause any ripples.

At the same time, the other coffins also began to tremble, and several more corpse beasts jumped out, wanting to devour Chen Hao's living essence blood.

"Wow, even in death you have such power. It seems you're just barely qualified as raw materials! It's just a pity that the quantity is still too small."

With a wave of his hand, Chen Hao instantly suppressed the horde of corpses and sent them to the special life embryo within his inner world, automatically extracting the essence of these corpse beasts that had been reborn from the depths of death and channeling it into the embryo.

As for the foreign script on the coffin, which was very different from Earth's script, Chen Hao did not recognize it. However, having read the original novel of Shrouding the Heavens, he could guess that it was the script of the Big Dipper, and that the people buried here were all from the Feathered Divine Dynasty.

Years ago, a group of people from the Feathered Divine Dynasty escorted the "hope" of becoming immortals to the Kunlun Immortal Vein for repair. When they left, they encountered an extremely powerful being, and the terrain map in their hands was lost. Some of them were trapped in this place.

These corpse beasts were all transformed from their descendants. Although the bloodline of the Feathered Divine Dynasty continued for a long time, they all eventually died here and could not escape.

Kunlun is a celestial vein, and the underground nurtures dragon energy, which nourishes these corpses. Some of them have not decomposed much to this day and have transformed into demons such as drought demons.

After collecting all the surrounding corpses, Chen Hao casually slapped the coffin to pieces, erasing all traces in the process.

As for the people of the Feathered Divine Dynasty, Chen Hao had no good feelings towards them except for admiring and feeling sorry for the geniuses like the Feathered Emperor who founded the dynasty. He even found these alien bumpkins who came to Earth to stir up trouble quite annoying.

Unlike those ordinary supreme beings who boast loudly but can't find any way forward and can only fall into self-destruction, the Feathered Emperor is not like Ye Fan who can learn from the ruthless and directly copy the answers, nor is he personally selected by the Red-Haired Ancestor for plastic surgery.

The Feathered Emperor found his path forward. Instead of cutting off his own life, he researched it with great success and created a special method for transforming humans into holy spirits. He hid away and became a recluse, focusing all his energy on transformation. Unfortunately, his descendants were brain-dead and brought him great disaster.

The ruthless guy's brother didn't have plastic surgery; he was born with that face...

It can be said that the myriad worlds of the Shrouding the Heavens trilogy, this entire worldview, in a sense can only be considered as a sick old man's private server that is constantly being restarted after sacrificing everything, with a bit of the meaning of Brahma's Dream.

However, throughout history, there have been many people with that face, but few have made a name for themselves. The old man, being broad-minded, probably doesn't care.

However, the shadow of the supreme being can occasionally create unparalleled miracles. "Not to become an immortal, but only to wait for you to return in the mortal world." After the ruthless person rose to power, the decline of the Feathered Divine Dynasty was inevitable.

Chen Hao's dislike for the people of the Feathered Divine Dynasty had nothing to do with these matters, since he wasn't familiar with the ruthless person.

The main reason is that the negative influence of the Immortal Realm has continued to this day. Apart from Kunlun, most parts of the Earth have become cultivation deserts. Chen Hao was practically penniless before he came to Kunlun.

Although the root cause is the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, and tracing back to the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountain, it was also Emperor Venerable who first set it up. Emperor Venerable even had an outrageous plan to set up large arrays at multiple nodes in the mortal world in an attempt to refine the world in one fell swoop, Chen Hao currently does not have the ability to defeat this powerful madman.

After clearing away the relics left by the descendants of the Feathered Divine Dynasty, Chen Hao estimated that the surrounding area was extremely dangerous and the probability of accidentally triggering the killing formation would be greatly increased; otherwise, these people would not have been completely trapped here.

To be on the safe side, Chen Hao no longer simply nurtured and overlapped his spiritual consciousness with the little white tiger's soul essence, communicating only in spirit. Instead, he directly pulled her out of his inner world and had her personally guide him.

In any case, Little White Tiger has been a street urchin in Kunlun for so long that she can be considered half a local. With the magic medicine of immortality and the ability to leap across the air, there's naturally no need to worry about her leading the way.

After navigating a winding ancient road and avoiding ancient divine formations, Chen Hao, who was scavenging and looting along the way, suddenly sensed wisps of immortal energy emanating from ahead, indicating that he was approaching the land of immortality.

Chen Hao was startled and began to consider whether to turn back or continue exploring the limits of what was within reach.

"Whoosh!"

A streak of azure light flashed by, and a fragrant aroma wafted out. Chen Hao suddenly realized that a precious herb that could move with the help of the earth's veins and was almost a spirit was throwing itself into his arms.

It turned out to be a human-shaped He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum), with emerald green vines and leaves, golden roots, and an aged face.

Legend has it that if a He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum) that has transformed into a human form is eaten, one can become immortal. However, there are never any human-shaped roots or stems in the world; most He Shou Wu roots are tuberous.

This human-shaped He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum) could perhaps be considered the ancestor of He Shou Wu. It is unknown how long it has grown. It is a divine herb nurtured by heaven and earth, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, and its body is full of boundless and limitless energy.

In terms of level, it should be considered a semi-divine medicine, on par with the ancestral ginseng of Changbai Mountain. Although it cannot leap across the sky like an immortal medicine, it can travel through the earth's veins like the ancestral ginseng of Changbai Mountain, making it difficult for ordinary people to capture.

To many ignorant people who are unaware of the origins of the elixir of immortality, four and a half such divine herbs combined would be roughly equivalent to one elixir of immortality.

At this moment, the old He Shouwu bowed down to Chen Hao, as if it had seen a god. Tears of excitement welled up in its eyes, and a vague consciousness was conveyed, wanting to follow Chen Hao to his side.

Like the elixir of immortality, this divine herb is unlikely to give rise to a powerful divine consciousness. Its medicinal body can live forever, but it lacks profound spiritual cultivation and cannot protect itself.

Heaven granted it an immortal body, but not the aptitude for cultivation. Like a divine medicine, this was a fatal flaw. However, this flaw seems to have found a turning point today.

Although He Shou Wu didn't know the reason, its natural spiritual sense could feel that Chen Hao was radiating a fatal attraction. He was a walking miracle of creation, a salvation and hope for a plant spirit like itself with ignorant consciousness and no way to seek the Dao!

Moreover, the immortal medicine is spiritually connected and possesses the divine power to bring good fortune and ward off evil. The fact that it could attract the White Tiger Divine Medicine's attention further convinced Old He Shouwu of Chen Hao's extraordinary abilities.

"Want to follow me? Sure. But let's make it clear beforehand: while I won't exploit you excessively, nor will I erase your mind and completely devour you, it's inevitable that I'll use some of your fragments to refine medicine in the future."

Chen Hao said bluntly.

Heaven cherishes life. Since the other party has developed a spirit and is so respectful and worshipful towards him, almost like a god, Chen Hao would naturally not harm the other party without reason. However, he is not a philanthropist who runs a charity hall, so it is impossible for him to give alms and support the other party without any desire or expectation.

Based on the idea of ​​mutual benefit, he can shelter and protect He Shouwu, and He Shouwu should naturally reciprocate in kind, such as giving him some hair and dandruff on ordinary days. When Chen Hao has specific needs at critical moments, it is inevitable that He Shouwu will bleed heavily and contribute some of its medicinal essence.

He Shouwu nodded hurriedly, like an eager sycophant. As long as it wasn't going to kill it immediately, it would accept whatever Chen Hao said at this moment, especially since the other party's request didn't seem excessive to it.
