The Eternal World

"If you insist on doing this, you will face the most terrifying crisis. Since things have come to this, I won't say anything more!" Sure enough, the old man warned once again.

"The most terrifying crisis? Geezer, are you bluffing? " Zhang Chao snorted, and actually dug out the gray crystal from the skull.

"It's over. If you touch something that shouldn't be touched, no one will be able to save you..." Seeing this, the old man couldn't help but sigh and shake his head.

"Come on, you didn't say anything just now, and now you're talking about this. Where are you going to go back and forth? Damn it, if I could go back, would I even need to stay here?" Zhang Chao glared at him in extreme displeasure. He was still depressed, how could this weird old man stand there and not let his words hurt?

"Young man, you really do not know your depth. Do you know how terrifying that thing is? The experts of the Ping Realm almost used this thing to enslave our world! " The old man, however, did not care about how rude Zhang Chao's words were, and pointed at the piece of crystal in Zhang Chao's hand instead.

"It seems that you understand this item very well?" Zhang Chao weighed the crystal in his hand a few times, then asked: "Speak, what can you tell me?"

"Young man, there are some things. The less you know, the better! " The old man said with a gloomy expression.

"Don't talk about this with me. If you have a way, I'm too lazy to study this kind of thing!" Zhang Chao curled his lips. "Moreover, who are you? Why was it here? Did you really live for hundreds of thousands of years? If you have the ability to live so long, then it means that your cultivation is ridiculously powerful. However, this place has long been destroyed, and these cages do not have any restraining power.

"Escape, or are you waiting for something? Or... What is he protecting? "

"No matter what the reason is, to be willing to stay in this stinky place for hundreds of thousands of years and be able to bear swallowing these bugs for a living, there must be another reason besides being a psychopath!"

"Of course, I'm not the least bit interested in your situation. I don't even know if we're friends or enemies!"

"However, I don't care about that. As long as I can find anything that I can use, I don't care what it is!"

Zhang Chao's words were very decisive.

He knew that the Truth Cult relied on these strange crystals to control his followers back then, but at the same time, he could also give these believers an incomparable amount of power.

What was the secret inside the crystal?

What was the principle behind it?

If he could figure out the way to go about it, would he be able to use the crystal to benefit from it?

At this moment, his only way out was to break through to the sage realm!

Only by reaching the Saint Dao Realm would he not be affected by the power of the stars, and be able to increase his chances of survival to the greatest extent.

Although he could still enter the space to look for a way out, it was because Lin Xiu's Golden Light Curse was protecting him, but the power that Lin Xiu had added onto his body was almost all weakened, as though he could disappear at any time, and the moment he stepped into the space, the power would suddenly disappear, and what awaited him was only death!

Zhang Chao thought very clearly, at a time like this, he would either find a way himself or stay and wait for death!

Therefore, this crystal could be said to be his hope!

After hearing what Zhang Chao had to say, the old man became silent.

After a long while, he sighed and said slowly, "The worm of a hundred feet died without being stiff. Here... Although it has already been shattered and the Truth Cult has become a fragment of the river of history, if it were to reignite the ashes of the dead, then there will definitely be a world-shaking change! "

The corner of Zhang Chao's mouth rose. Just as he had guessed, there was indeed something wrong here!

"My name is Mo Peng!" The old man continued, "At that time, I was ordered by the Sect Leader of the Unparalleled Sect to infiltrate the Truth Cult to find out the truth!"

"At that time, this old man's cultivation was still shallow and did not have the qualifications to receive this Holy Spirit Stone. Thus, I was arranged to stay in this dark dungeon to clean this place!"

"However, this old man has seen a lot of things related to the Truth Cult. That kind of scene still makes my hair stand on end when I think about it!"

"Every time I close my eyes, images of the people who planted the Holy Spirit Stones will appear before my eyes. It was a tragic sight that made me wish I were dead every day!"

"The Holy Spirit Stone is a magic stone from a foreign land. The magic inside it can completely change a person's mind, constantly attacking their brain, making them become slaves from a foreign land, and making them lose all of their humanity!"

"Have you lost your humanity?" Zhang Chao frowned, and interrupted: "Looks like a demon?"

"No, no, although the demons are violent, they still possess their true nature. It's just that the power and morality of the demons are able to double the desire in the depths of one's heart!" Mo Peng shook his head: "In essence, even if cultivators sold their souls to the devil gods, they would still be them, and have yet to change into someone else!"

"However, after planting the Holy Spirit Stone, everyone changed fundamentally. It was as if they had changed into a completely different person!"

"Their thinking has been controlled. The kind and amiable people have become bloodthirsty and crazed. They enjoy the pleasure of killing and are ten thousand times better than the demon race!"

"What?" So it's like that? " Zhang Chao immediately trembled upon hearing this.

He suddenly thought back to the corpses he had seen, and their foreheads ….

Could that be the proof that the Holy Spirit Stone invaded his brain?

If that was really the case, then it would be too terrifying.

But what made him even more surprised was that this old man was actually a disciple of the Unparalleled Sect hundreds of thousands of years ago!

But on his body, Zhang Chao really could not feel any kind of power.

"What is it? It feels like this old man has lived here for hundreds of thousands of years, but doesn't seem to have any cultivation. Mo Peng looked at Zhang Chao, and could not help but reveal a strange smile.

"Senior, please enlighten me!" Zhang Chao sighed, since his words had come to this point, he could no longer maintain his arrogant attitude.

"It's true that I don't have any cultivation base, but with this thing in my mouth, even if my cultivation isn't high, I can still live for as long as I want!" As Mo Peng spoke, he took out a completely undamaged — — Holy Spirit Stone!

This Holy Spirit Stone was completely different from the one Zhang Chao had dug out from the skeleton's forehead. It was similar to the depiction in the frescoes.

"Holy Spirit Stone?" Zhang Chao's pupils contracted.

"After many years of research, this old man has already probed the origin of the power inside the iceberg. Furthermore, I can use this Holy Spirit Stone to steal power from another world to maintain my longevity!" Mo Peng nodded his head and said, "I presume that's your goal as well?"

"No, I'm not too interested in longevity. I just want to increase my strength once again so that I can roam the starry sky and find my way home!" Zhang Chao said calmly.

"Oh? Aren't you greedy? " Mo Peng was a little surprised with Zhang Chao's reply.

"Greed!" In this world, there is no one who is not greedy. As long as he is alive, there will be desire for him! " Zhang Chao shrugged his shoulders and said, "Even if it's the lowest of creatures, to survive, eat, and reproduce … These are their desires! "

"However, there should be a limit to everything. Once you surpass that, you will become greedy!"

"I don't have that much desire, I just want to go home!"

"Interesting. People like you are indeed rare!" Mo Peng laughed, "But I am born with an extremely high spiritual toughness, and I don't plant the Holy Spirit Stone in my brain!"

"But even so, absorbing the power from other realms is very dangerous. I can get lost often and go crazy from the effects of the Holy Spirit Stone!"

"I'm afraid. I'm afraid that after I leave this place, I'll go crazy and kill everyone around me!"

"Therefore, I can only lock myself in here. This is my final resting place. When I go mad, I can trample over these bugs without affecting my foundation as a human being!"

"Young man, you already know. Do you still want this stone?"

After he finished speaking, he placed the Holy Spirit Stone in his palm and handed it over to Zhang Chao.

Zhang Chao understood.

So it turned out that this Mo Peng had already fallen into the abyss where he thirsted for the Holy Spirit Stone's power.

Unable to extricate himself, he could only choose to escape. It was the equivalent of exiled himself endlessly, trapped here without end.

"Wouldn't death be a better fate than living like this?" Zhang Chao asked curiously.

"No, I can't die. I'm dead. If someone like you were to accidentally enter this place again and become a slave to the Holy Spirit Stone, the scene from back then would probably repeat itself!" Mo Peng hurriedly shook his head.

"Again? "How could that be?" Zhang Chao spread out his hands and laughed: "The people who created this Truth Cult back then are all dead now, right? Furthermore, only you have this piece of the undamaged Holy Spirit Stone. Even if someone obtains it, there will at most be one more madman.

"Just this one?" Mo Peng's expression turned gloomy: "It looks like, you still haven't sensed the situation under your feet, right?"

"Beneath my feet?" Zhang Chao was startled when he heard this, and then looked down at the ground.

Suddenly, with a thought, he raised his foot and lightly stomped on the ground a few times.

"Dong, dong, dong!" Such a sound immediately caused his pupils to constrict!

Empty!

This proved that there was still space down there!

"Do you understand?" There are still over a million Holy Spirit Stones remaining here. With such a large amount, what kind of consequences would happen? " Mo Peng sighed: "Let's put it this way, the threshold for planting the Holy Spirit Stone is Yuan Dan Stage, but after it is planted, it doesn't need too long for a cultivator with Yuan Dan Stage to directly reach the Primordial Spirit Realm!"

"With such an increase, it doesn't look like it's raising by much, but you should also be a cultivator of Nascent Soul Stage right? I believe you should be very familiar with the gap between us! "

"What?" Zhang Chao's heart trembled.

Millions.

They all had this kind of effect.

That was indeed terrifying.

A million madmen …

"At the same time, this isn't much, because below us, is the place where the Truth Cult is located where a sect master is sleeping!" Without waiting for Zhang Chao's heart to calm down, Mo Peng once again revealed a shocking secret!
