Chapter 1178: Sneaking into the Pyramid
Le Xiaowei, who disguised himself as Shi Junyuan, felt very complicated at first. He thought that the pyramid sealed by Taiyun Sect would have something special. As a result, after he sneaked into the pyramid, he followed the guard team to wander around the pyramid day and night.
Le Xiaowei had never been to this pyramid ruins before, but he was well-informed and had already inquired about the news of the pyramid through various channels. Now the pyramid gave Le Xiaowei the feeling that it was an empty Tianyuan ruins, which was nothing special compared to other Tianyuan ruins.
However, twenty days after entering the pyramid, Le Xiaowei finally received a real job!
On this day, twelve low-level cultivators of the God of Transformation were sent into the pyramid. Each of them had a deep Tianyuan mark. It was obvious at a glance that these people could not resist the temptation of Tianyuan and descended to Tianyuan, which was far beyond their own cultivation. For these people, life was completely hopeless.
They heard that Taiyun Sect had issued a task and could get a generous reward, so they took the initiative to join. Le Xiaowei, who was guarding the pyramid, was assigned to such a Divine Transformation cultivator. This early stage Divine Transformation cultivator was named Yang Wenxing. At first, he always looked at the pyramid with curiosity and was very respectful to Le Xiaowei, calling him "senior".
As for why Taiyun Sect assigned these people to the cultivators guarding the pyramid, it was because Taiyun Sect asked them to supervise these people to practice a kind of mysterious skill in the pyramid. Le Xiaowei did not know the specific formula of the mysterious skill, because before these Divine Transformation cultivators came in, the formula of the mysterious skill had been engraved into their souls. They only had the ability to practice, not the ability to pass it on.
Le Xiaowei was familiar with this method, so he did not bother to find out the details of the mysterious skill, because he knew that doing so would be a waste of effort.
These Divine Transformation cultivators lived in the pyramid and needed to be supervised by the Refining Void cultivators throughout the process. The order Le Xiaowei received was very simple, that is, no matter what, these cultivators must work hard to practice the mysterious skill, and they must not shirk or delay.
At first, Le Xiaowei thought this order was a bit strange, but he immediately realized that this mysterious skill might not be a good thing. He couldn't help but secretly sympathize with these monks recruited by Taiyun Sect, and sighed in his heart: It's still too simple. They dare to accept the secret mission of Taiyun Sect. They really want to live too long!
Realizing that these people would not have a good end, Le Xiaowei had no interest in talking to them, and always maintained a serious attitude towards this person. Yang Wenxing felt that Le Xiaowei was not a character to be messed with, so he could only bury his head in the pyramid to practice Xuan Gong.
To practice this kind of Xuan Gong, you need to swallow several strange pills every day. This kind of pill is distributed by the upper level to the guarding Lianxu monks, and then the Lianxu monks supervise these Huashen monks to take it. As soon as he received the pill, Le Xiaowei was frowned by these pills.
This doesn't look like a pill at all.
It's like a spherical living thing, with vicious contacts constantly jumping on the dark surface. And it also emits a sticky and fishy smell. Le Xiaowei finally knew why people had to supervise these Huashen monks to take it. How could a normal monk take the initiative to take this kind of pill!
Yang Wenxing frowned when he got the pill from Le Xiaowei, and raised many questions to Le Xiaowei, but Le Xiaowei treated him coldly, did not explain to him, and only forced Yang Wenxing to take it. Intimidated by Le Xiaowei's power, Yang Wenxing reluctantly took the pill, and after taking the pill, Yang Wenxing felt like he had eaten a dung ball. However, what made Yang Wenxing feel a little relieved was that the pill only looked disgusting, but it had no strange effect after entering the body.
So, Yang Wenxing had to endure this disgusting pill every day and practice hard under the supervision of Le Xiaowei. When Yang Wenxing practiced, Le Xiaowei supervised him, and he was also curious about what kind of mysterious skill Yang Wenxing was practicing. Therefore, he often turned on his clear eyes to observe Yang Wenxing carefully.
Le Xiaowei discovered that whenever Yang Wenxing practiced, a kind of power that could not be observed normally would flow into Yang Wenxing's body. This power was different from the spiritual energy of Tianyuan, and it was a power that Le Xiaowei had never discovered!
Clear and bright eyesight can only be observed when Yang Wenxing practices and this power gathers on a large scale. Le Xiaowei also found that this power flowing into Yang Wenxing's body did not increase Yang Wenxing's cultivation. Instead, under the guidance of Xuan Gong, strange runes gathered on Yang Wenxing's body surface.
In the first ten days, although Yang Wenxing had doubts in his heart, Xuan Gong did not bring him any discomfort. But on the eleventh day, Yang Wenxing accidentally felt that the world around him was distorted. At first he did not care, but this symptom developed to the extreme on the eighteenth day. The world in his eyes was often distorted violently, making him almost unable to stand.
Now Yang Wenxing was scared. He felt that he could not continue to practice Xuan Gong, so Yang Wenxing began to beg Le Xiaowei. However, Le Xiaowei received an order. If he did not follow the order, his situation in the pyramid would become extremely dangerous. So Le Xiaowei did not let Yang Wenxing say anything and forced him to continue practicing.
On the twentieth day, Yang Wenxing suddenly screamed and scared Le Xiaowei. During his training, Yang Wenxing suddenly bent into a big shrimp and rolled over in pain. He said that his body seemed to be twisting violently just like the world around him. Now he was really scared and would not dare to continue to practice Xuan Gong.
Le Xiaowei persuaded him many times, and finally he could only hang Yang Wenxing up and beat him violently. Yang Wenxing was scared and forced him to continue practicing Xuan Gong without delay! In this way, accompanied by Le Xiaowei's ruthless beating, Yang Wenxing began his hellish torture.
In the next few days, the runes on Yang Wenxing's body became thicker and thicker, and his symptoms became more and more serious. He kept begging Le Xiaowei, saying that he wanted to give up this mission, and he didn't want anything given by Taiyun Sect, and begged Le Xiaowei to show mercy. Le Xiaowei knew that this was impossible, of course, and continued to beat Yang Wenxing, but because practicing Xuan Gong was too painful, the threat of fighting was no longer effective.
Seeing Yang Wenxing so miserable, Le Xiaowei's hard heart was also shaken, but he knew that if he didn't do it, there would be others in Taiyun Sect to do it, Yang Wenxing couldn't escape, and he would fail. So Le Xiaowei could only start to torture Yang Wenxing's soul, making the pain of torture dozens of times more than practicing Xuan Gong, so that Yang Wenxing would continue to practice in fear.
Another five days passed, and Yang Wenxing was no longer in human form at this time. Finally, on this day, instructions came from the upper level, ordering Le Xiaowei to take Yang Wenxing, who was no longer in human form and covered with black lines all over his body, to the secret room of the pyramid for the next stage of practice.
Coming to the secret room of the pyramid, Le Xiaowei suddenly discovered that two high-level fusion monks were stationed in this wide hall. The two fusion monks were guarding a wall full of black lines as if they were facing a formidable enemy. There was also a pool of black mud growing in the middle of the wall. An extremely sticky and vicious feeling filled the entire hall.
"The people have been brought here."
"Let the experiment begin."
