Chapter 259 Feeding
But isn't this evolution a bit too fast?
Golden honey has always existed, and the number of people drinking it has only increased. But apart from these "outsiders," why are none of the "natives" powerful? Or is golden honey only effective for them?
This body, and why she was reborn and woke up in this world, is all a mystery.
The capital of the Qian Dynasty was indeed prosperous, but most of the people here were secretive and unwilling to show their full faces or bodies. They either wore cloaks or masks, and almost all of them traveled alone. I never saw them gathered together.
Aside from a few exchanges with the Twitter user during buying and selling, they hardly speak at all. The place is strange, and the people are strange too.
I found an inn and thought I'd stay for a few days and then find out more about it. The staff there were also very quiet and neither warm nor attentive.
After settling in, Liu Jun went out to gather intelligence.
Simply put, this world is indeed as she had heard before. Every year, "outsiders" come here in search of opportunities because the Qian Dynasty is rich in resources and opportunities are endless.
This is their understanding of the world.
However, so far, apart from this golden honey, Liu Jun has not seen any other "resources," but in everyone's mouth and in everyone's memory, it is like a treasure trove.
Does this mean she'll be living here from now on?
Is this the world we live in, a world that seems to be weaving a colossal lie behind the scenes?
Given the current situation, it seems that this is the only option.
During the hundreds of years I lived on the continent of Yuanzhou, and possessed those unforgettable memories, I knew that the world was as vast and diverse as the stars.
Since you don't like it here, you can find a chance to leave later and choose a world you like to live in.
However, relying solely on these few bottles of golden honey to improve their strength, it's uncertain how long it will take before they can leave this place.
Even though she can walk several kilometers in one breath now, let alone fly, she can't even cultivate spiritual power. They can't sense any spiritual energy here. Is Jin Mi only able to enhance her physical fitness?
Liu Jun had tried all the previous cultivation and absorption methods, and tried many other methods, even the spiritual energy cultivation methods taught by the people here, but none of them worked.
Logically speaking, her body shouldn't be mortal. She didn't have any spiritual roots detected, but she was definitely capable of cultivation. So why couldn't she absorb the five elements of heaven and earth?
The universe is vast, and qi is subdivided into many kinds, but the origin of qi is still rooted in the five qi.
Her previous body had exceptional talent, with a single fire elemental root, allowing her to naturally sense the flowing fire elemental energy in the world.
But now, let alone fire, even a slight burn from a regular fire makes her feel terrible. It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy.
It seems she's going for a beggar-to-level-up strategy this time.
In a world like this, having to compete with others for opportunities or scraps is unbearable (“▔□▔)！
Enraged, Liu Jun gulped down another mouthful of honey and drank until he was stuffed. He then rolled back to his residence and began to rage in a fit of impotence.
"Maybe I should just die again, since this isn't the place I want to go back to anyway."
Liu Jun lay on the bed like a dead fish, utterly devoid of any interest in life.
This body not only has poor physical condition, but is also particularly prone to drowsiness. Every time after drinking its fill of golden honey, drowsiness would hit its head, and before long, Liu Jun would fall asleep.
……
(A half-step immortal, the supreme ruler of the continent, are you content?)
Resentful? What is there to be resentful about?
That body was very strong, but Liu Jun didn't want it, and neither did she.
A body without roots or origin, yet filled with an unwilling soul.
Even though this body is still not hers, and is still weak and ordinary, and she always says she dislikes it, she probably still likes it.
At least, because of that annoying memory, she wanted to live a more vivid and real life. Every one of them wanted to live an ordinary and quiet life, even if it was just wishful thinking.
She disliked this world, so her efforts were solely for escaping it, this world named "Dynasty".
Liu Xingxing suffered greatly, so she was naturally inclined to deceive herself, and the fragments of her soul also suffered greatly.
So the lie was woven bigger and bigger, forcing oneself to forget the sense of familiarity that surged in the heart the moment the eyes were opened.
What kind of lie is this?
Once she had established herself in this place, her physique was as strong as a cultivator's. She used every means to seize what was called "opportunity," all in order to leave this world. And that was five hundred years later.
The capital of the dynasty remained unchanged, with people "coming" every year, and correspondingly, a group of people disappearing every year.
This is a secret of the Qian Dynasty, but it seems that only she knows this secret, and she has no intention of revealing it.
Because, as mentioned before, no one remembers, or rather, those who "remember" have all "ascended to heaven." But from beginning to end, there was only one person who ascended to heaven in the Qian Dynasty, and people will only remember that person.
The old man in Huangtu Village was right. "Heaven" can devour people, and so can the dynasty itself. It's just that Liu Jun only discovered this today, and by then it was too late.
Golden honey can transform the body, but Liu Jun ultimately cannot cultivate.
When a group of true cultivators descended upon the castle, they shouted, "The Immortal Gate is wide open! The Mysterious Angel, the Boundary Realm Master, has personally selected those who have achieved perfect merit to ascend to heaven. This is an unparalleled honor!"
Liu Jun suddenly realized that the Qian Dynasty had always been a world that was being kept in captivity.
Everyone here is an "outsider," a piglet fed "ginseng."
When they've been around long enough, they'll be dragged out, slaughtered, and eaten.
Unfortunately, Liu Jun was also taken as one of the piglets. She was tied up with a broken rope that had been slightly enchanted and sent straight to heaven in a very simple and brutal way.
In a physical sense, it's a visible ascension, a direct jump from the ground into the sky.
Those who stayed behind seemed oblivious to the situation and continued with their lives as if nothing had happened. Some even disappeared on the spot without anyone noticing or seeing it.
Beyond the sky, these chosen ones were taken somewhere unknown, but it was definitely not some so-called immortal realm, nor the upper realm; it was more like... a sect?
Calling it a sect isn't quite accurate either, because what sect could occupy the size of a small world!
This world is more like a seemingly endless complex of buildings, much like a sect, built on a flat surface. Unlike other worlds, which are mostly spherical, this world doesn't have much open space. It seems that the only mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas are the sea.
A world made of architecture.
Liu Jun admitted that he still lacked experience, and those distant memories, apart from certain people and events, were now just vague.
She may have seen many different landscapes before, but none were as clear and breathtaking as this one, making her almost forget her current situation.
The main hall they were going to was magnificent, so magnificent that it made one feel so small at first glance.
Anyone who sees a palace that spans the size of a country would think the same thing, especially since it's three-dimensional.
"Fuck!"
The long-lost language allowed Liu Jun to finally rediscover a bit of her familiar self, and also made her truly feel the reality of the moment.
"Lord, this year's batch of disciples has been brought."
The leader stepped forward and reported to the person at the head of the hall. Only then did the person turn around and look at the people below with a nonchalant expression.
"Minced meat? What minced meat? Who are you people, and why did you kidnap us here!"
The obedient group seemed to suddenly realize something, looking around in terror. Some even tried to run out of the hall, but the person at the head of the table simply reached out and beckoned. The fastest runner flew into his hand and had his life pinned down.
"Tsk~ Every time a young meat is delivered, it's like this. Don't worry, once these feet are chopped off and made into meat broth, they won't run around anymore."
"Meat, meat broth?!"
The person in his hand was so frightened that he lost his mind. It took him a while to come to his senses and struggle desperately.
"Monster...monster! Aaaaaaah!"
Cannibalism is obviously something only monsters would do, but even monsters don't eat their own kind; they are even more terrifying than monsters.
They emanated spiritual energy, yet their bodies were mixed with a pungent, putrid stench, clearly a result of cannibalism.
The leader was even more extreme, yet these cultivators all possessed an air of otherworldly grace, showing no signs of demonic possession whatsoever.
What kind of world is this?
