Leisure (3) (1 chapter remaining)

It was late at night.

Wish Woman Canyon the Human Immortal Platform.

A cold wind howled, and on the cliff halfway up the wall, Zhang Rongfang looked up at the night sky, where the crescent moon hung like a hook and the night was as dark as a curtain.

"Tomorrow will be a good day," he said softly.

In the distance, from within the canyon, the sounds of Ding Yu, Qing Su, Chang Yuqing, and others Sparring Practice could be faintly heard.

The people of Human Immortal Temple have gradually settled deep in the valley, forming a small village with cave dwellings.

Because there is no poisonous miasma there, most people stay in the villages.

The few people he personally took in still Human Immortal Platform from time to time.

Because these people have undergone Blood Descendant modification, they are not afraid of miasma.

Feeling the evening breeze caress his body, Zhang Rongfang felt increasingly at peace.

Gradually, from the very beginning, all the martial arts he had learned flowed through his mind.

A short while later, he slowly closed his eyes, and the Attribute Panel opened instantly.

Ignoring the other items, Zhang Rongfang focused his attention directly on martial arts realm.

'Illusory Image Talisman Method —Grandmaster Half Moon.'

Available Attributes: 34.

With a thought, he tapped the plus sign next to the Illusory Image Talisman Method.

In a flash, all ten attribute points disappeared.

The text behind the Illusory Image Talisman Method disappeared. But it only blurred for a moment before quickly reappearing.

The newly appearing handwriting changed to 'Master Full Moon'.

In an instant, decades of insights into martial arts and the way of martial arts, and memories that had penetrated his own mind, flooded into his mind like an ocean.

Zhang Rongfang closed his eyes and carefully experienced the impact of a large number of memory images.

This contains many details and insights about the master, especially regarding the secrets of the Final Form.

"I see. The Final Form is the fusion and sublimation of all the martial arts of a grandmaster, combined with the body's condition, forming the strongest form. It can bring out the full potential of the martial arts one has learned, and the martial arts can in turn bring out the full potential of the body's innate advantages."

The two complement each other and are indispensable.

"The advancement of a Grandmaster's realm mainly depends on the degree to which the body and mind adapt to the Final Style State. The better the body and mind adapt, the more benefits are gained, and the higher the Grandmaster realm can be reached."

Of these, the psychological impact is extremely significant.

After understanding all this, Zhang Rongfang came to his senses, and suddenly a thought struck him. He looked down at himself.

His body shrank even further.

He's gone from 2.3 meters to almost 1.9 meters, and now he's gotten even smaller.

Similarly, he clearly felt that the density and strength of his body had reached a new level.

It is clearly the prolonged Final Style State that allows the body to adapt and become stronger.

Hiss! In an instant, his robes tore apart, two Blood Lotus covered his entire body, and he was lifted into the air.

From less than two meters tall, it burst open in an instant, its body growing taller and larger rapidly as if inflated.

Two meters, two and a half meters, two and a half meters, three meters, four meters!! Four and a half meters!! Finally, it stopped. 'As expected. Although its normal state has shrunk, its Blood Lotus State can become even larger and taller when fully expanded.'

Zhang Rongfang looked down at himself. His old pants were no longer wearable, but fortunately, the Blood Lotus State would cover his entire body with a layer of blood-red fleshy membrane.

He touched it; the membrane was extremely tough, and it seemed to be some kind of keratin.

I flicked it, and it made a popping sound, indicating that the skin was stronger than before.

"Let's try again." After getting used to the current situation, Zhang Rongfang had another thought.

"Final Form! Godspeed!!"

In an instant, everything around them came to a standstill.

The clouds in the sky stopped moving, the wind on the ground stopped blowing, and the leaves falling from above froze in mid-air.

A dark purple nightingale that had just flown by hovered in mid-air in front of Zhang Rongfang, no more than ten meters away.

Its sharp beak was slightly open, as if it were about to call out. The white downy feathers on its belly trembled slowly in the wind.

Everything seemed to have been slowed down in multiple ways.

Without a sound, a new arm reached out from behind Zhang Rongfang.

The arm was covered with dark red net-like patterns, grotesque and bloody, like a skinned human hand without skin.

At the same time, his height increased again, almost reaching five meters!

Even Zhang Rongfang himself hadn't expected it to reach such a height.

Three arms, a five-meter-tall body, and a width of two and a half meters, covered in dark red net-like patterns. Without even looking in a mirror, he could imagine the exaggerated and imposing presence of his current appearance.

Hiss. Soon, a scalding breath emanated from his body, and Zhang Rongfang's size rapidly shrank.

In just a few seconds, it returned to a height of nearly two meters.

He casually picked up a robe from the ground and put it on to cover his private parts.

'Full Moon can now use the Final Form for extended periods. Next, it's time to see if he can break through to the Great Grandmaster level through arduous training!'

Without hesitation, Zhang Rongfang looked at the Illusory Image Talisman Method again.

On the surface, the biggest difference between Great Grandmaster and a Master is the Final Form. Great Grandmaster can perform Infinite Final Style.

However, based on my actual experience fighting them, Great Grandmaster's attack is clearly much stronger than a Grandmaster's. There must be a reason for this.

At this moment, he unconsciously recalled the differences between the various realms demonstrated by his grandmaster Jin Yuyan when he was in Yuxu Palace.

The traces of Great Grandmaster are much stronger than those of a Master.

With just over twenty items remaining, Zhang Rongfang immediately clicked the plus sign again.

The attributes remain unchanged. They can no longer be improved.

'As expected.' Although he was somewhat disappointed, he had actually anticipated it.

'In terms of the mental aspect, it involves the impact on sanity and mind. If Attribute Points can also achieve this, then I'd worry that I might be affected and become a different person.'

Since he could no longer level up, he didn't force it and immediately added all the remaining attributes to his health.

After his 24 attribute points increased, his health points became 324. A familiar Warm Current swept through his body. Zhang Rongfang closed his eyes and waited for a while until the changes in his body completely disappeared and he was quiet.

He then carefully examined his entire body.

"Um??"

To his surprise, a new Blood Lotus bud began to grow on the side of the two Blood Lotus on his back.

Moreover, directly below the three Blood Lotus, numerous leaf-like protrusions have grown.

He casually touched them and felt that each leaf was only the size of a fingernail, with clear textures, as if the leaves had actually grown out of his skin and flesh.

"Why is this happening?" Zhang Rongfang frowned.

If the previous series of changes were due to the influence of the Blood God, then now he has three kinds of Remnant God within Upper Capital. The three Gods and Buddhas images he saw in the Mist of Doubt last time should all represent the three different Gods and Buddhas within him.

With multiple Gods and Buddhas markings already on his body, why would he continue to develop along the path of the Blood Lotus?

Could it really be just due to the influence of the Blood God? Zhang Rongfang had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

He thought for a moment, then turned and went into the cave to change his clothes before coming out.

When they came out, there was already a Daoist priest waiting by the Human Immortal Platform, seemingly having something to report.

"What is it?"

"Master, the place you are looking for has been found. It is called Hui Lin County. It was abandoned many years ago. It is said that the surrounding soil became very barren, and nothing could grow there. Then it suffered from war, and all the people who lived there before died. No one has lived there since," the Daoist priest replied.

"Do you know the exact location? Lead the way," Zhang Rongfang said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

*** Hui Lin County is not far from Wu Mountain. Zhang Rongfang personally rushed there overnight and found the exact location in just three hours.

To be precise, it refers to specific archaeological sites.

If it weren't for the poor lighting at night and the unfamiliar terrain, which caused him to wander around in the mountains for quite some time, he probably would have found the exact location much earlier.

Hui Lin County is located at the foot of a large mountain, and half of the area's buildings are constructed inside large caves within the mountain.

That mountain looked like a rice dumpling with a big hole dug out at the bottom; its shape was quite strange.

Hui Lin County is located on the south side of the mountain, which is shady and cold.

A strange bird was making a peculiar noise in the distance.

The mountains and forests were just beginning to be illuminated by the morning Heavenly Light.

Two figures, one tall and one short, emerged from the woods and gazed at the ruins of Hui Lin County at the foot of the mountain.

Both men were wearing red Daoist robes; the one in front was shorter and had a rather rigid and serious appearance.

The man behind him was tall and burly, wearing a white mask with red lines drawn around his facial features, giving him a somewhat eerie appearance from a distance.

"Master, that's the site of Hui Lin County. There's no one left there now. Over the years, most of the houses have collapsed, leaving only ruins," the short Daoist priest pointed ahead and explained.

"You wait here, I'll go and take a look."

Zhang Rongfang glanced into the distance but found nothing in the Dark Light Vision.

He immediately lightly leaped away, crossing vast stretches of overgrown wilderness, and soon arrived at ruins filled with yellow earth, rubble, and broken tiles.

Only a few broken walls remain in the ruins, with half-hanging wooden doors that sway and creak in the wind.

Zhang Rongfang slowed his pace and walked slowly among the ruins.

On both sides were abandoned stone houses without roofs, and tangled weeds sprouted and climbed upwards from the cracks in the stones.

It's impossible to find any clues about Gods and Buddhas in this kind of environment.

But Zhang Rongfang was prepared.

He took out a blueprint from his sleeve and, following the divisions on it, began to walk briskly through the ruins.

The entire Hui Lin County has a total of thirteen streets. The innermost one is located inside a cave in the mountains. It is cool and shady all year round, making it the best place for Worship God and sacrifice.

The map of Hui Lin County Zhang Rongfang obtained was a reproduction based on the descriptions given by the elderly people who had moved out of Huilin years ago.

This is the advantage of having manpower and resources. Although the number of people in the Human Immortal Temple is not large, only a few hundred, investigating this matter is still a piece of cake.

Zhang Rongfang didn't need to worry about this kind of local intelligence; he could simply wait for his men to finish gathering it and then set off.

Before long, he arrived at a dilapidated stone altar.

Half of the altar is connected to the mountainside, and it was obviously carved directly from the rock.

There was a pile of rubble in the direction of the worship, and nothing else.

'It seems to have been cleaned up.'

Zhang Rongfang was not disappointed, but instead began to carefully observe the surroundings.

He remembered that the materials used to make the statues of Gods and Buddhas were very strong and difficult to destroy, so perhaps he could start from that aspect to find clues.

As long as we can find even a fragment, and slowly collect and piece it together, we will eventually find hope.

He hadn't forgotten that his Intuition Warning ability had once helped him piece together the fragments.

It was through this ability that he managed to collect a Statue and witnessed the cruel consequences of Worship God.
