Chapter 769: Fellow Daoist Golden Lotus and the autonomous world!

Along the way, none of the scholarly disciples spoke.
They carried along the corpses of demons of various ranks, and slowly moved forward, forming a long line.
This picture… seemed very familiar!
Just as the scholarly disciples carrying the corpses moved forward, Song Shuhang’s consciousness—which was now sealed within that rune engraved on the body of a demon—also moved forward alongside them.
At last… those scholars carrying the corpses arrived at the edge of a huge pond of water.
They had yet to approach the pond of water that a foul odor blew in their faces first. This stench was tens of times worse than that of the ‘stinking pill’.
The properties of the rune were simply too incredible. Not only could Song Shuhang ‘see’ the surrounding area and ‘hear’ sounds, but he could also ‘smell’ the scent of the things in the surroundings.
“Blech~” Song Shuhang felt like throwing up everything in his stomach. Unfortunately, he was currently in the form of ‘consciousness’, and there was nothing he could throw up.
The scholarly disciples held their breaths, and kept advancing forward even though they were currently deathly pale.
In the end, the huge pond finally appeared in Song Shuhang’s line of sight.
It was a huge ‘unholy pond’ with evil and demonic energy hovering above its surface.
“Thud~”
The disciples of the scholarly faction had formed ten lines, and were continuously throwing the corpses of the demons on their shoulders into the unholy pond.
Very soon, it was the turn of that scholarly disciple that was carrying the corpse of the demon with the rune engraved on it.
No! Don’t throw me inside the pond! Song Shuhang screamed from the depths of his soul. Unfortunately, Song Shuhang didn’t have the ‘Soul King’ innate skill, and the scholarly disciple was unable to hear this cry coming from the depths of his soul.
The scholarly disciple arrived at the edge of the unholy pond, and slightly raised his shoulder, throwing the corpse of the demon into the water of the pond.
“Thud~”
Song Shuhang’s consciousness was attached to the rune, and thus fell into the water of the pond along with the corpse of the demon.
The water of the pond was completely black; it was a thousand times dirtier than sewer water, and blacker than black ink.
And yet, Song Shuhang’s complexion at this time was even blacker than the water of the pond.
After the corpse of the demon fell into the waters of the pond, the unholy water immediately corroded and melted it. Within just three or four seconds, the corpse of the demon had thoroughly melted, becoming part of the waters of the unholy pond.
However, that rune Song Shuhang was attached to wasn’t corroded amidst the waters of the unholy pond.
It was very likely that the rune was something ‘Senior White Two’ had drawn personally, and its anticorrosive properties were top-notch.
F*ck… why is this rune so powerful and wasn’t melted like the rest? Song Shuhang felt like crying at this time.
He felt as though he had been thrown into a mixture of swill and sewage; the taste was truly something, something that might directly put him to death.
The flavor was so strong that not even the powerful will of a cultivator was able to overcome it.
If Song Shuhang hadn’t been in the form of consciousness, he would surely be throwing up like crazy.
If he could choose, Song Shuhang would rather die than suffer this torment!
❄️❄️❄️
The rune didn’t melt. As such, Song Shuhang kept ‘seeing’ the things happening around him through it.
Earlier, his ‘eyes’ had been looking upward.
From his position, he could see a huge glistening tree through the demonic energy hovering above the surface of the pond.
No, that wasn’t it… it wasn’t a huge tree.
It was a colossal golden lotus!
So that was how it was…
From the very beginning, Song Shuhang had found this scene somewhat familiar… but after seeing this huge golden lotus, he was sure that this scene was the duplicate of the one he’d seen when he’d dreamed about Cave Lord Dragon’s life!
The only difference was that the roles in these two scenes—which he had witnessed in the Netherworld Realm and below the ground of the scholarly faction, respectively—were reversed.
Below the ground of the scholarly faction was an ‘unholy pond’, while there was a ‘holy pond’ in the Netherworld Realm.
The unholy pond in the scholarly faction fed on the demons of the Netherworld Realm… while the holy pond in the Netherworld Realm fed on the cultivators of the scholarly faction, buddhist monks, and even what seemed to be angels from the West.
There was a golden lotus growing in the unholy pond in the scholarly faction, while there was a black lotus growing in the holy pond in the Netherworld Realm.
In addition, since the black lotus in the Netherworld Realm had the ability to produce lotus seeds that bestowed upon whomever ate them a ‘demonic technique’… it was quite logical to a.s.sume that the golden lotus in the scholarly faction could produce those lotus seeds that prolonged the life of whomever ate them and bestowed upon them an extraordinary ability.
No wonder the scholarly faction was willing to trade the valuable seeds of the Virtuous Golden Lotus for the corpses of the demons of the Netherworld…
After all, the corpses of the demons of the Netherworld themselves were the main ingredient to produce the seeds of the Virtuous Golden Lotus! As long as they had the Virtuous Golden Lotus, they would have an infinite supply of lotus seeds.
