Chapter 362: #362 - Aftermath

The battle on the flesh earth also drew to a close. Having lost the restraints of Venerable Filthy Pig and Venerable Yin Sheep, the three Dao Palace True Men of the Myriad Worlds Sect were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, wreaking havoc.

Whether they were the monsters transformed from the fleshy tumors or the disciples and divine envoys of the God Worship Sect, they were all merely souls destined to perish under the sword.

When the cultivators of the Myriad Worlds Sect stormed into the abdominal cavity that had once nurtured the Divine Sovereign, they saw only bones scattered all over the ground.

The stench was so thick that it formed a pale cyan mist, spreading throughout the abdominal cavity.

The True Men frowned at the smell and waved their hands to dispel the foul mist.

They searched the entire abdominal cavity but found no trace of Filthy Pig and Yin Sheep.

"Those two must have escaped," one of the Dao Palace True Men said with a light laugh, stroking his beard.

His robes were stained in several places, the result of his earlier entanglement with Filthy Pig and Yin Sheep.

He was quite impressed with these two; their extremely yin and evil techniques were strange, and although they were countered by the Myriad Worlds Sect's three great evil-warding sword techniques, they were still able to cope with ease.

If the two hadn't secretly fled, it would have really taken some effort to get in.

Looking at the disciples of the sect, many were also injured.

Many disciples had even died here, but the life souls of the remaining Lamp Lighting Realm disciples were still intact.

Rebuilding their bodies would definitely cost a lot of resources.

However, these were not major concerns for the three Dao Palace True Men. Being able to take this piece of flesh earth was already an extremely worthwhile thing for the Myriad Worlds Sect, not to mention the Xuan Huang stones scattered all over the flesh earth.

The benefits gained this time were definitely beyond the imagination of the Myriad Worlds Sect, and even Master Red Phoenix's face was filled with smiles.

"They're just cowardly rats. If I could try a few more of my swords on him, I would definitely make his life fire and divine soul unable to escape," the True Men joked with each other, and the disciples reported the results of their investigations.

In addition to this abdominal cavity, there were many other unusual places beneath the flesh earth.

They all seemed to be places where the God Worship Sect did various things, and they had scavenged a lot of good things from them.

In addition to spirit stones, there were also many flesh and blood puppets.

These words made the youth recall the shocking scene he had seen when he first fell into the flesh earth. The Four Symbols Formation, which was tens of miles in size, was the largest formation he had ever seen in his life.

And the two auras within it shocked him to the point of shivering; they were above the Dao Palace, a realm that he could not reach—the Immortal Platform.

"So he's a senior," the white-robed youth said wistfully.

"When things are settled, you must take me to meet him."

"Yes, Master," Red Phoenix retreated, and the True Men discussed how to deal with this piece of flesh earth.

After all, this piece of flesh earth was truly strange, and this piece of flesh earth alone was enough for the Myriad Worlds Sect to have many uses for.

After Red Phoenix retreated from the abdominal cavity, she stepped on her flying sword and flew towards the flesh earth.

Compared to her initial arrival on the flesh earth, the flesh earth was now scarred and devastated.

Looking into the distance, she saw a huge locust tree standing on the flesh earth.

And beside that locust tree, the original four huge divine statue puppets had disappeared.

Presumably, Fellow Daoist Jiang, or rather, Senior Jiang, had already finished fighting, and now she could explore it.

Thinking of Jiang Wen, Red Phoenix also felt a little melancholic.

When they first met in the Qian family, he was just a youth with similar strength to her.

She never expected that in the blink of an eye, he would already be a senior capable of fighting against Dao Palace Immortal Platform experts.

The world is unpredictable, but to be unpredictable to this extent is truly something that Red Phoenix cannot see clearly.

"Is everything below finished?" Red Phoenix heard A'Gu's voice nearby.

She looked down and saw A'Gu, wearing a bamboo hat, sitting on the hillside, looking at the large hole that had been broken open in the distance.

From the hole, she could see the scarlet and blue sky outside, a world that was even more vast than the flesh earth.

"Yes, it's over," Red Phoenix landed and stood beside A'Gu, sighing deeply.

"I didn't expect it to end so quickly."

"You looked like you were in a bad mood just now? Did something happen?" A'Gu asked with concern.

"It's nothing, I just feel like I'm a bit inferior to others," Red Phoenix sighed.

"My master once said that I am a rare genius of the Myriad Worlds Sect, lighting the lamp at eighteen and mastering the Myriad Worlds Sect's three great sword techniques before the age of twenty-five.

In the future, my life fire can be expected, the Dao Palace can be achieved, and even the unreachable Immortal Platform is not impossible to strive for."

"But after I left the sect, I realized how laughable my self-righteousness was.

The world is so big, and there are so many immortal sects.

I'm just a mediocre talent."

As Red Phoenix spoke, her expression became a little lonely.

After all, it is an extremely discouraging thing for someone who is naturally talented to admit that they are mediocre.

For a genius like her who has been praised by her fellow disciples since childhood, it is even more difficult.

A'Gu didn't know how to comfort her, so he just tapped his shield with his short sword.

He inexplicably wanted to sing a song, a ballad that had lingered in his mind for a long, long time.

"It says my sisters, born but unable to obtain."

"Call my ancestors, where to seek survival."

… …

"Sigh Shennong without longevity, think of the Heavenly King's frailty, can one obtain life."

… …

It was an ancient ballad. Red Phoenix didn't understand what it meant to express, but she could sense the regret and sorrow contained in the ballad.

Standing on the hillside, facing the strong wind blowing from outside the mountain.

After the song was over, Red Phoenix asked, "Who is the Shennong in the ballad just now?"

"Shennong?" A'Gu looked at Red Phoenix blankly. He fell silent.

In his empty eyes, one could actually see a few traces of confusion.

After a long time, he shook his head again and said, "I don't remember, I just vaguely feel that Shennong seems to be a very important person.

He seems to be no longer in this world, and I am very sad, very sad.

I don't know how to express this feeling."

"Is that so? Then there's no need to think about it, right?

After all, the dead will not come back to life.

Thank you for singing the ballad, I feel much better now," Red Phoenix smiled, and A'Gu nodded.

"Being able to let go of the obsessions in your heart, isn't that a kind of progress for you?"

Listening to A'Gu's words, Red Phoenix was stunned for a moment.

Then she laughed loudly and said, "I didn't expect that you, with your old bones, could actually say such profound truths."

"Isn't this what Fellow Daoist Jiang said?" A'Gu said nonchalantly.

Red Phoenix deeply understood and turned to look at the locust tree in the distance: "Letting go is also a kind of progress.

Fellow Daoist Jiang is right, I was too naive, too obsessed.

Thank you, A'Gu, I think I understand what I'm pursuing.

I'm going to see Fellow Daoist Jiang, do you want to go?"

"I won't go, I want to stay here for a while longer," A'Gu shook his head and replied.

Red Phoenix didn't force him and steered her flying sword towards the locust tree in the distance.

Her long hair fluttered in the wind, and her red shirt was as bright as a raging fire.

Only, the originally depressed face was now incomparably relaxed and cheerful.
