LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 1 Hundreds of Thousands of Insects
In the middle of a quiet pond in a nameless mountain, a strange flower grows.
Although the strange flower has not yet bloomed, it has already begun to emit a faint fragrance.
Chen Ming stood in the air above the pond, condensing a ball of blue spiritual water in his hand, performing a secret method to slowly nourish the strange flower.
When the spiritual water in his hand was completely absorbed and dissipated by the strange flower, Chen Ming's figure also disappeared from the pond.
"Collect the essence of 9,999 kinds of flowers and plants, and use the secret spell to refine them into spiritual water."
"Find another strange flower of the Yin and Yang nature that contains spirituality, and nourish it with secret methods and spiritual water for 9981 days, and transform the strange flower into an incense guide!"
"Use this incense guide to refine the secret method of '108,000 insects', and my cultivation will surely be able to go further!"
Chen Ming stood by the pond, regulating his breath to restore the mana he had just lost, thinking about the secret method of refining.
This is a world with gods, demons, monsters, ghosts and practitioners.
Before Chen Ming traveled through time, he saw an abandoned temple when he passed a village on a self-driving tour.
For some reason, he got off the car to see that there was no statue in the temple, only a lotus platform.
There were exquisite patterns carved on the lotus platform, and Chen Ming traveled to this world just by reaching out and touching it.
When Chen Ming regained consciousness and received the memory of this body, he knew that the original body was a cultivator in the Qi-inducing realm.
In order to break through, the original body used a formula that he didn't know where to draw a magic circle to attract spiritual energy, wanting to condense the soul into a spirit and enter the visualization realm.
Who knew that something went wrong, the soul was dispersed by the spiritual energy, leaving only the flesh, which led to Chen Ming's rebirth.
After Chen Ming and his body were completely integrated, he found that the magic circle drawn by the original body was very similar to the pattern on the lotus platform in the temple.
When Chen Ming tried to practice, an illusory lotus platform appeared in his mind.
The carved patterns on the illusory lotus platform fell off and turned into a secret spell called "108,000 Insects", and then there was no movement.
This secret method called "108,000 Insects" records that this method was created by a great supernatural being who saw that there were 84,000 tiny lives in a drop of water, which were born and died in a cycle and formed their own world.
The original body's cultivation method was very superficial. Chen Ming practiced for a long time, but he was still in the Qi Induction Realm and could not break through.
So he wanted to cultivate the "108,000 Insects" secret method first, and then look for opportunities to break through to the Visualization Realm after having the ability to protect himself.
This strange flower in the deep mountain pool originally only contained a trace of spirituality. It would take at least a hundred years to achieve it.
But after being found by Chen Ming, it was watered with spiritual water to nourish it, and the secret method was condensed. The appearance was already different from the original.
"Ninety-nine eighty-one days have come, it's time to finish!"
Chen Ming recovered his magic power, his figure paused, hiding in the dark, waiting quietly.
Not long after, the strange flower in the center of the pond began to tremble slightly, as if the heart was beating.
Suddenly, the strange flower paused and stopped trembling, as if solidified!
In an instant, the strange flower bloomed in an instant, the petals were like silk, blooming like claws, and bright red like blood.
It exuded a stream of strange fragrance, which penetrated the soul and made the living beings sink and unable to extricate themselves.
As the fragrance of the flowers continued to spread, various strange noises began to be heard in the mountains.
One by one, poisonous insects and poisonous beasts with hideous or strange appearances were attracted.
The fragrance of the flowers seemed to have a fatal attraction to them, and they completely ignored the warnings they had given themselves and came without regard for their lives.
Not long after, the pond was crowded with dense insects.
No more, no less, exactly 180,000!
Although most of them were insects with only a little spirituality, and some even contained strange poisons, they gathered together and made people's scalps numb.
One hundred and eight thousand insects, the number was enough.
The fragrance began to gather, and the fragrance of flowers gathered on the strange flower in the center of the pool.
One hundred and eight thousand insects, like crazy, rushed over and fell into the pool.
"It's time!"
Chen Ming silently recited the secret spell, and the spells in his hands changed. The water pool was rippling and the water was shining.
One hundred and eight thousand different insects, under the influence of Chen Ming's secret method and the strange flower, bit each other in the pool.
The whole pool turned blood red, emitting a terrifying poisonous gas.
The pool became a poison pot, and poisonous insects were constantly bitten to death and swallowed.
The remaining poisonous insects became more and more powerful, and the toxicity became stronger and stronger.
Even Chen Ming was a little scared.
As the number of poisonous insects in the pool became fewer and fewer, the fragrance of the strange flower became more and more intense.
The scattered poisonous blood and poisonous gas were not only devoured by the poisonous insects left behind, but also absorbed by the strange flower.
The water in the pool became clearer and clearer.
There were fewer and fewer insects, and the remaining ones were all highly spiritual and powerful.
It seemed to have reached its limit, and the strange flower in the center of the pool exploded with a "bang"!
It turned into a blood-colored mist, wrapping up the remaining poisonous insects.
"Puff!"
"Puff!"
The sound of the poisonous insects' bodies exploding came from the blood-colored mist.
Then, it gradually became quiet, and the blood-colored mist floated quietly on the pool, constantly wriggling.
At this time, Chen Ming came out from the dark.
The spells in his hands kept changing, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out, merging into the blood-colored mist!
"Chi!"
Chen Ming shouted, and the blood-colored mist quickly wriggled and changed, constantly shrinking.
Seeing this, Chen Ming operated his magic power and chanted a spell.
The blood-colored mist suddenly paused, contracted and condensed into a crystal clear blood-colored bead.
"Finally it worked!"
Chen Ming waved his hand, and the blood-colored bead fell into his hand.
The bead was cold to the touch, and it was connected to Chen Ming's mind.
Chen Ming's mind moved, and the blood-colored bead "banged" and broke into pieces, and a thumb-sized red insect jumped out of it.
If you look closely at the forehead of the insect, there is a petal mark.
The red insect "snaps" a few times and eats the broken bead clean.
After eating, the red insect rubbed it in Chen Ming's palm, gradually turned transparent, and disappeared.
"Huh?"
Chen Ming felt something in his heart, and immediately sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated his mind, sensing the sea of consciousness.
The red insect was indeed hiding in his sea of consciousness, and lying on the illusory lotus platform in the sea of consciousness.
Before he had time to carefully comprehend, Chen Ming suddenly sensed that there was an aura approaching from the outside world, so he came back to his senses and became alert.
"I'm afraid the person who came here was attracted by the movement of my refining technique. I don't know if he is an enemy or a friend!"
After Chen Ming crossed over, he practiced the secret technique hard and had not had any contact with other cultivators. He was inevitably a little uneasy.
The person who came was very fast. In a few breaths, he arrived in front of the pool.
The person who came was a Taoist with a goatee, named Ling Yangzi.
He looked at the pool and murmured:
"Strange, my perception is not wrong. The poisonous air gathered here just now, how come there is no trace at all!"
