Chapter 115 The Horror of Seara Island Part 2 (2/2)
A few faces within the group of cultivators twisted in disgust after hearing Daniel's words, while a few others turned towards him and asked ”Who are the Worshi+ppers of Death?”
”There is a book about them in the library” Responded Roley before Daniel could talk He then added ”They are the opposition of the cults of life, which promote and worshi+p life under every forh peace Worshi+ppers of Death, on the other hand, worshi+p death, war, and conflict”
”Why would they take tributes instead of killing everybody then?” Asked someone from the crowd of powerful cultivators
”That's due to the type of Worshi+ppers of Death they are They seeh the consummation of life That's why darkness and death essence” Said Daniel with a serious tone He then added ”shi+eld yourself with ki or spiritual essence Protect your life essence Or you'll die of old age before we can even e”
After Daniel finished speaking, various light blue, green and white shi+nes appeared around the various cultivators Then, one after the other, they jumped in
On their way down the sinkhole, each and every cultivator could feel the their ki and spiritual essence being the only dividing line between life, and death
While the rest orrying about not losing focus for even a moment, Daniel had already activated 'Ti to comprehend the concept of death utilized in this part of the forot fro death Not the kind of death one would not see co, but the kind of death that only someone terminally ill, and could only wait patiently to arrive, could experience Alone, in the dark While the slow passage of time took your short life closer and closer to an end
This concept brought by feelings of desperation, unwillingness, and regret
This, was the concept of 'premature death'
The vast majority of the people who had understood this type of concept, where those ere those who had died a preet in contact with it while still living
One would think that, being this concept easily encountered, it would be easy to teach But it is important to understand that a treasure of death essence could be considered death itself
One would not be able to create a death sphere without having an equal comprehension of life essence, or they would die under the deadly essence produced by their own creation
Ironically speaking, due to this liroups that possessed the second biggest a life essence, were groups that worshi+pped death While the groups that worshi+pped life had no need for co death, as life treasures or spheres would not harhtest
Premature death was a difficult concept for Daniel to understand He had died twice, been on the verge of death many times, and had even assisted to the moment of his death But the kind of desperation that a slow and inevitable death brought, was alien to him
Despite that, he felt extre a comprehension of it
Unfortunately Luck was not on his side this one tirasp the concept of preainst his face as he found hih up in the sky
He i wind essence, and fore platforently
Around him, he could see nobody else He was alone
Daniel quickly looked inside one of his spatial ring, and after a few s which belonged to the other cultivators were still working, so, it meant that they were still alive
The place where Daniel was didn't look like an underground cave Instead, it looked e pocket dimension with low levels of earth, wind, and water essences
Also, in the air, a feeble yet lingering death essence could be felt
The concept of this lingering death essence was different from the concept of pre a shi+eld of ki or spiritual essence, but if they tried, the death essence would slowly infect the body and corrode the life essence contained in their bodies Like a drop of ink dropped into a cup of clear water
This concept was the concept of 'poisoning', and it was a concept which caused fear, panic, and si within one'swhich prevented one fro peace before death Hope
The concept of poisoning was the st the concepts of death A sih the consumption of a deadly poison, and the assu All worshi+ppers of death had comprehended the concept of 'poison', as it was a rite of initiation for theht, and the low level of earth essence, had round was dusty, the composition of the air was incorrect and difficult to breathe, and the sky covered the grey floor like a blanket of darkness
Thanks to his experiences with essence spheres, Daniel was able of feeling from which direction the various essences were emanated
The dark sky, the dry air, and the lack of color of the earth could be attributed to the fact that he was underground, but the death essence could only be emanated from an essence sphere After all, there was no place for death where there was no life
After pinpointing the direction from which death essence was emanated, he started to ht later, he spotted a se, various different low level essence spheres had been locked in the space, and emanated feeble essences of wind, earth, water, and various death spheres
Inside this village, he saw dozens of people covered in black cloaks, that were currently bowing towards an altar
Above this altar, was the body of what once must have been a five years old child Now, his body had been disans had been removed, and placed orderly next to the body
Scattered all around the dusty floor, were all the tiny bones of the previously sacrificed kids
Daniel landed back on the ground, and retracted his spiritual essence and ki into his body Then, heinvisible to other people's senses
Luckily, he had discovered these people while they were busy with one of their disgusting practices, and not when they were vigilant
