The Demon with Holy Radiance-Chapter 105 - 95: What Sweet Nothings Are You Talking About? Miaohua Celestial Sect

Chapter 105: Chapter 95: What Sweet Nothings Are You Talking About? Miaohua Celestial Sect

Yang An wasn’t dead.

At the last critical moment, he had managed to react, consuming all of his flesh and blood essence before his body was completely torn apart.

But it wasn’t enough.

In the end, it was the Mother Divination True Master who saved him.

She used a full five Meat Eggs from her flesh-skirt!

Only when Yang An felt that his flesh and blood were still intact, that he could breathe normally again, and that the pain had vanished, did he finally come to his senses.

He had just taken a trip through the Ghost Gate.

It was only now that he understood what He Tou meant back at the Heavenly Respect Pavilion. When Yang An had volunteered to join them, He Tou had said he wasn’t worthy.

He meant that since Yang An hadn’t reached the Visceral Stone Realm, he couldn’t regenerate his flesh and blood to recover from grievous injuries.

However, back then, he had demonstrated he could achieve the same effect by using the Meat-Eating Life Nourishment Daoist Technique, which consumed flesh and blood essence. That was the only reason he had been allowed to come along.

The Visceral Stone Realm! The Visceral Stone Realm! The Visceral Stone Realm!

After this ordeal, those three words were seared deep into Yang An’s mind. He finally understood the feeling that all who were beneath the Visceral Stone Realm were mere ants.

’If I don’t reach the Visceral Stone Realm, these old monsters will find a thousand ways to torture me to death!’

’I’ve run out of flesh and blood essence now, so I can’t use the Meat-Eating Life Nourishment Daoist Technique anymore. It looks like I’ll just have to endure.’

’As long as I can hold out until this trip is over and get the chance for the Visualization Earth Spirit Stele, I’ll be able to obtain the subsequent Cultivation Technique.’

’Once I reach the Visceral Stone Realm and achieve the Undying Body, I’ll be able to do whatever the hell I want!’

"Thank you, True Master!"

Although Yang An didn’t know why the Mother Divination True Master would save him, his gratitude was sincere.

After all, she had saved his life.

’Though the taste of those Meat Eggs was a bit strange...’

’They were sticky and gooey, like snot, but they also had a faint, fresh fragrance, like the lotus root powder I ate in my past life, mixed with the essence of some plant.’

What puzzled Yang An, however, was that using the Mother Divination True Master’s Meat Eggs didn’t trigger an information box, nor did it require him to bear any cost.

’Unless... the Meat Eggs are a part of the Mother Divination True Master’s own body. That’s the only explanation I can think of.’

The Mother Divination True Master gave a faint, captivating smile that seemed to bewitch the soul.

"You’re too kind, young friend. It’s thanks to you sacrificing your physical body that we were able to open the Ancient Hidden Land. It was only right for me to help."

Her soft voice and every subtle expression should have belonged to a great beauty, but alas, she wore a skirt made of Meat Eggs.

Yang An stared, dumbfounded. Although the Meat Egg skirt was enough to make one’s Scalp crawl, he still found his impression of the Mother Divination True Master improving.

"What sweet nothings are you two whispering? Let this old man in on it, hmm?"

Just then, He Tou suddenly stuck his head forward, looking at Yang An with a sinister smirk.

Yang An instinctively shrank back and remained silent.

’This old monster never knows when to shut his mouth. Sooner or later, I’ll kill you!’

"The young friend was simply expressing his gratitude, Senior," Mother Divination said, turning to Elder Life Crane to deflect the jibe.

Before He Tou could retort, Elder Life Crane spoke up. "Enough nonsense. The Ancient Hidden Land is about to open. Get ready to enter. If we delay any longer, others will arrive."

’Others are coming?’

Hearing the old man’s words, Yang An was suddenly struck by a sense of foreboding.

Only then did his gaze fall upon the massive stone platform at the bottom of the river.

Under the watch of countless pairs of eyes, the patterns on the stone platform had become fully illuminated, and all the blood that had previously poured from his body had vanished completely.

’It must have been absorbed by the platform,’ Yang An guessed. ’A key component for opening the Ancient Hidden Land.’

As the patterns on the platform glowed with an ever-brightening red light, an invisible ripple suddenly appeared out of nowhere beneath the water, spreading outward in all directions.

A powerful suction force suddenly emanated from the stone platform, pulling the flesh boat beneath Yang An’s feet rapidly toward it.

Fortunately, under the Mother Divination True Master’s control, the flesh boat resisted the pull and remained hovering steadily in the water.

At that moment, an opening suddenly appeared on the platform. Moonlight pierced through the water from above, aligning perfectly with the gap.

In the next instant, a gigantic hand suddenly reached out from the opening, extending toward Yang An and the others.

But just as the giant hand was about to touch the flesh boat, it rapidly dissolved into a pool of blood, melting into the surrounding river water.

In an instant, the river water became so murky that it was impossible to see anything.

A look of joy appeared on the Mother Divination True Master’s face, and she immediately called out her thanks. "Thank you, Senior!"

’That’s it? It’s open?’

Yang An was stunned. He had expected some kind of tunnel to open up on the platform. ’This is it?’

"Let’s go. We’re heading in," Elder Life Crane said with a slight nod. He took a step off the flesh boat and into the water.

Yang An had no choice but to follow, entering the river water with him.

Behind them, Mother Divination made a light gesture with her hand. The flesh boat beneath her feet instantly transformed into countless Gooey Insects that burrowed into the flesh-skirt she wore, disappearing from sight.

Just as they were about to enter the murky water, He Tou suddenly turned his head to look at Yang An.

"Little disciple, you go first!"

"..."

Resigned, Yang An had no choice but to take the lead and step into the murky river. The old man and the Mother Divination True Master followed right behind him.

Soon, the figures of the three of them vanished completely beneath the riverbed, leaving only the murky water to continue its slow, steady flow.

「An unknown amount of time passed.」

Down at the now-calm riverbed, a bright light suddenly appeared in the distance. It was followed by several figures in monks’ robes, swiftly cutting through the water toward the spot.

They chanted Buddhist verses, and each was surrounded by what seemed to be an invisible layer of energy that completely repelled the river water, keeping their bodies dry.
