Kidney Harvesting
The way the Corpse Liberation Immortal ascends to immortality is quite different from most other immortals.
In other words, it doesn't need a physical body, Primordial Spirit, or even any extraordinary Law Power.
It's just lightning, let it strike if you want, do whatever you want.
However, the arrival of even a sliver of Heavenly Dao consciousness increased Old Chen's chances of achieving Corpse Liberation.
This kind of outrageous move could only be pulled off by Hu Mang and Old Chen.
And considering that Old Chen is a native, this makes it even more difficult.
Hu Mang opened the "Heavenly Tribulation Register," which was densely packed with over a hundred names, giving one a glimpse into the ferocity of the Heavenly Tribulation Imperial Dynasty back then.
To reach a level close to ascension, aside from Old Chen, it's almost impossible for him to be a fraud.
The old man was quite reliable; he actually provided translations for each of them.
Yuanyanzi, Tantai Qingxu, Elder Gui, Su Wangji, Yan Wuwang, Venerable Xuanlu Dark Lord Jili, Jili Youjun, Kongtan, Chan Venerable Huiyan, Old Monk Jingchen...
Goodness, it seems like none of the three schools of Buddhism, Daoism, and Demonism have been overlooked.
As Hu Mang read to the end, he indeed saw a familiar name— Chen Sheng.
Although it was written in the Jade Office Immortal Script, it was filled with discord.
Old man, what makes you so special that you're allowed to sit alongside these big shots and be struck by lightning?
Besides the newly added old man's name, Hu Mang also saw a name that had been crossed out.
Primordial Lady Shuangwan
"So, that female immortal's name is Primordial Lady Shuangwan? This is also the real reason why she's hiding in the Demon-Subduing City —to cross her name off the Heavenly Tribulation Record."
"Wait a minute, isn't this a list only for cultivators who ascend to this realm? So, did this female immortal ascend to this realm first and then secretly come down, or did she never even go up at all?"
Hu Mang quickly abandoned his contemplation of these immortal secrets and read to the end, where there were still a dozen or so blank spaces after Old Chen's name.
If I fill in my name, will I get struck by lightning?
Hu Mang suddenly had an idea.
However, he had no intention of courting death, and the old man had also given him a warning.
"Although this 'Heavenly Tribulation Register' is useless for cultivation, and because of the disintegration of the Heavenly Tribulation Imperial Dynasty, the ability to manipulate heavenly tribulations has been lost by at least half, it is still a first-class treasure for the great cultivators standing at the pinnacle of this world. After all, who hasn't cultivated for hundreds or thousands of years and has a few long-standing enemies? In addition, without the cover of the Heavenly Tribulation Imperial Dynasty, those whose names are written on the register can be identified by a little bit of Heavenly Secrets Evolution. One must be very careful when using it, because once the effect of this treasure is revealed, one will inevitably be hunted down by the powerful figures of this world."
According to the old man, to use it on outsiders, especially enemies, one must be at least of equal cultivation level. Under normal circumstances, those in this world who can reach the ascension level are at least great cultivators Refining Spirit to Return to the Void.
In other words, only Hu Mang cultivates to this level can it conceal the secrets of this level and then use them to harm people.
What a great post-production product!
However, Hu Mang also knew that this was only under normal circumstances.
Putting everything else aside, Old Chen is a classic example of an unusual case.
As for the Hu Mang, one can easily think of several uses. For example, the simplest use is to find a trusted bigwig in the cultivation world, have him fill in the name, and then tamper with the secrets of heaven, so that you don't have to worry about the other party's counter-intelligence.
Moreover, since even Old Chen himself can use it, it means that this thing has no restrictions on who can use it; anyone, human or ghost, can use it.
Conversely, can purely physical objects be used?
For example, he heard that some Law Treasure also need to undergo tribulation by lightning. He could fill in a name for the artifact and make it reach the level of "undergoing tribulation by lightning". This doesn't seem like a bad idea.
So, this thing is actually a magical artifact for refining treasures?
Hu Mang pocketed the magical artifact and continued reading Old Chen's "last words." The old man had spoken at length, and finally, he mentioned something related to himself, such as the "Mysterious Peak Token."
"That Zhen'ezi is an honest man. Without you, this disciple of the Thunder Manor would most likely have been deceived by that female immortal. Moreover, according to my observation, this mysterious immortal seems to have a deep connection with the Thunder Manor. Therefore, after 'breaking' the other party's conspiracy, Zhen'ezi received great rewards from our sect. According to rumors, the Thunder Sect has already proposed to do everything possible to restore his physical body."
Without a physical body, Zhen'ezi can only continue down the path of the Ghost Immortal.
However, with a physical body, Zhen'ezi not only has more choices, but can also retain the cultivation and Law Power of Ghost Immortal.
Although Hu Mang n't know how the old man had gotten such a secret, he decided to believe him for the time being.
As a result, Zhen'ezi owed Hu Mang an even greater favor, hence the existence of the Mysterious Peak Token.
"... When Zhen'ezi told this to me, I thought about it and realized that Brother Hu was good in every way, except that he was a Rogue Cultivator without a major sect to rely on. So Zhen'ezi took out the Peak-Subduing Token. He was on good terms with Yue Chongzheng, the True Disciple Yue Chongzheng the Peak-Subduing Sect, and it was said that he had saved Yue Chongzheng's life. Yue Chongzheng then gave him this token. With this token, one could enter this great innate sect without taking any tests!"
According to the old man's account from long ago, during the time of "Upper Pure One's rule," he taught without discrimination. Among his disciples, twenty-three followed the "Immortal Method," one hundred and sixteen followed the "methods of cultivation," and ten thousand and eight comprehended the "methods of acquired cultivation."
Among them, the so-called "methods of cultivation" are the founding ancestors of these great innate sects.
These so-called innate great sects are the top forces in this world after Buddhism, Daoism, and Demonism, and the "method of the Tao" is a profound method that can be cultivated to the level of Refining Spirit to Return to the Void.
Refining Spirit to Return to the Void?
Hu Mang hadn't forgotten that even the highest-level "Profound Yin True Scripture" he possessed could only cultivate to the Yin Spirit level, which was a whole realm short.
This old man probably experienced the hardships of Rogue Cultivator, so his yearning for a major sect was exceptionally high. For example, the Jade Ruins Sect, where his granddaughter belonged, was also a Heavenly Gate.
"This old man has found me a good place," Hu Mang muttered to himself.
To be honest, he really wanted to make a good living in this world.
But he can't go to the righteous path; he has the physique of a demonic saint, and his demonic cultivation is already quite high.
If he were to join the demonic path, given the current level of the demonic path in this world, he was somewhat worried about the threat to his life; he might be refined before he even entered the gate.
As for joining a Buddhist order, they wouldn't accept a wild monk like him who "cures the three poisons" on his own.
This innate great sect is the best place for him, without exception.
Unless he hopes that a highly accomplished Daoist will take him as a disciple, but such a highly accomplished Daoist is at least Loose Immortal, that is, True Person has completed the Refining Spirit to Return to the Void and has survived at least one Heavenly Tribulation.
Traveling through the country under the nose of such a powerful figure, he worried that his secret would be discovered.
If you calculate it that way, the Mysterious Peak Sect really is the best place to parasitize.
"Old man, I guess I owe you a favor. If I ever see your granddaughter again, I'll try to take care of her if I can."
Hu Mang put the letter, the Heavenly Tribulation Register, and the Mysterious Peak Token into his pocket. After a moment of contemplation, he looked at Old Chen's corpse and muttered to himself.
"Old man, since you don't care whether your body gets struck by lightning or not, you can lend me your body as a cadaver to study Corpse Liberation, right? I'll take your silence as a yes."
Then Hu Mang took Old Chen's Corpse Liberation body into his possession, and then took out his phone and started snapping pictures of the lightning patterns on the surface of the small Ascension Platform. He felt that these lightning patterns were very valuable for research.
Over the next few days, he would slack off in Zheng Family Garden, only showing himself briefly before teleporting back to Demon-Subduing City to carry out a massive looting spree.
Each time, I have to fill all a dozen or so Storage Bag to be satisfied.
He'd been stuck in the Demon-Subduing City map long enough; it was time to head to the new world.
Moreover, as the "former Thunder God," he had more authority than Old Chen, the "Prison-Subduing Official," so he quickly understood the purpose of this "small Ascension Platform."
It was not used for ascension, but for transferring "major criminals of the divine dynasty".
In other words, through it, the Hu Mang could be teleported outside the Thunder Commandery Domain, instead of just being teleported outside the city and then struck dead by lightning.
In this way, the Hu Mang would not need to leave through the "void passage".
Through Old Chen's explanation, Hu Mang finally learned about the huge void in the center of the dark clouds.
The work of Old Man of the Void Rift, one of the Ten Great Loose Immortal.
This void passage was also used to relocate the remaining rogue Rogue Cultivator in the city; the Zhou siblings left through this void passage.
However, Hu Mang never dared to use it.
He always felt that this Loose Immortal's purpose was not so simple.
Who knows if these spatial coordinates can be transferred?
Hu Mang learned about the name of this Old Man of the Void Rift from Chen Sheng's letters. Although his nickname suggested a reclusive old man, he was actually the wealthiest among the Ten Great Loose Immortal.
Because at least 40% of the Storage Bag in this realm were sold by the Void Pavilion under this old man's name.
So rather than calling this old man a Rogue Cultivator, it's more accurate to describe him as an industry tycoon.
Without new gang warfare, Zheng Family Garden will be safe.
Zheng Family Garden is safe, then he, as the chief of military affairs, is safe too.
When he has nothing to do, he can freely go to the Demon-Subduing City to transport goods and act as a middleman.
This situation continued until the arrival of one person.
Instead of picking up the person at the pier, Hu Mang went to the local airport in Java to do so.
Although there is no direct sea route to this place, there is a direct shipping route.
Soon, Hu Mang met the person he was waiting for.
Although he wasn't wearing a white lab coat, Hu Mang noticed his striking bald head immediately, and even felt a strange sense of crisis.
After I achieve the Three Flowers Gather at the Crown), will I also go bald?
"Haha, Doctor Sun, we've been chatting for almost half a year, and I've finally managed to get you to come."
Doctor Sun wasn't so happy. Instead, he sighed softly and said, "Alright, you've finally lured me overseas. Now, is it time to start harvesting my kidneys?"
"Don't be ridiculous, you're Golden Core doctor, who would want to take your kidney?"
Hu Mang took the other person's luggage directly and led them out of the airport. As soon as they stepped out, a group of burly men dressed in black shorts bowed and said...
"Brother Mang!"
Doctor Sun subconsciously took a step back, looking at those social practitioners who made no attempt to conceal the fact that they had taken out lethal magical Law Artifact.
Oh no, am I really going to have to donate a kidney?
