The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle-Chapter 350 - 236 The Great Venerable!
350: Chapter 236: The Great Venerable!
350 -236: The Great Venerable!
Su Qi had already made his way to the side of the black mummy, his gaze sweeping around.
If the blackness on everyone’s body were patterns, then on this mummy it seemed like…
living liquid.
He looked confused.
There had always been only…
one piece of information.
[“Parasitic Poison Liquid sealed by human skin”]
The densely packed black mummies locked in the dungeon were not living people, they were human shapes stitched together from human skins.
And the purpose of these human skins was to seal all this black liquid inside them.
“Everyone…
what you call undergoing baptism is nothing but gradually transferring this Parasitic Poison Liquid into your own body.”
“This thing is very strange and bizarre, it’s my first time seeing it.”
“The most important thing is…”
Su Qi stood in front of the old man’s enthusiastic eyes and slowly raised his own Dagger.
His weapon, known as Dark Star, which he named “Death Star Annihilation,” was sending him a craving, a hunger to devour.
It seemed that this black liquid.
Was like a tonic to it.
Given this, Su Qi naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity.
He had already allowed Dark Star to devour a large part of his belongings, including the Thunderclap Bone Shattering Hammer, ping pong paddles, and so on.
It could morph into any weapon it had devoured, all while retaining its original attribute.
The most twisted aspect was that the inherent weapon attribute could be enhanced due to Dark Star’s own nature, showing potential for growth.
As to why it was called Dark Star, it was because its form was not yet unlocked, and for now it wasn’t worthy of the name “Death Star Annihilation”; additionally, the most important reason was that such a name was too ostentatious, and changing it would be more prudent.
“Before the baptism…
I want to remind you of something…” The old man had already sensed the restlessness beneath the human skin, those parasitic liquids were even more eager than before: “Your sins are more severe than you imagine, perhaps you require a longer and more…
extensive baptism process.”
“Alrighty.”
Su Qi was well aware of old man Deng’s intentions; the more Parasitic Poison Liquid that was absorbed, the more one would be affected, and it even seemed to be able to fuse with the host, causing some changes.
“But right now, these are all conjectures; let’s first see what use this thing actually has.”
Su Qi wore a smile and stabbed down with the Dagger.
The black liquid burst out abruptly.
These mysterious parasites, upon seeing the host, attacked like the most tempting food, frantically rushing forward!
But…
the Dark Star in Su Qi’s hand trembled slightly, not because it couldn’t bear it, but because it too was incredibly excited, thrilled, as if starving to an extreme, swallowing up the black liquid with even more terrifying frenzy.
The Parasitic Poison Liquid seemed to momentarily pause, even wanting to retreat.
But they had no chance to escape.
In an instant, Dark Star ferociously consumed them completely.
Su Qi: “…”
You’re going too fast, it’s hard for me to act.
And the old man’s eyes also showed a trace of astonishment; when others were integrated with the parasite, it took at least a dozen seconds, so why did the black liquid disappear in just an instant?
The old man and Su Qi locked eyes.
The latter coughed and brought his hands together.
“…Amen…
no, Venerable.”
Su Qi sincerely said: “I have felt the power of the Venerable, I have felt the purification.”
“Please allow me to continue the baptism.”
The black patterns on his body surged, more tumultuous than before.
However, the old man did not refuse, instead he said with a light smile: “Of course.”
He knew full well the terror of the black liquid; the fact that the other party absorbed it so swiftly only meant that the Parasitic Poison Liquid was greatly interested in him, which also indicated a perfect degree of fusion!
More perfect than anyone else in this world!
How could he possibly interfere?
He must complete the task given by the Venerable, and when the Venerable returned, to see such a perfect parasite, would surely bring immense joy.
While Su Qi was undergoing his baptism.
In another world.
An old-fashioned academic academy, a man in a robe was sitting cross-legged in front of a group of students, with drawings of interconnected lines beside him.
He looked at the many students and spoke gently: “Research, study, civilization, science can drive everything forward, even for a king, there is no shortcut on the road to scholarly pursuits.”
“The beauty of science lies in the ability to…
find regularities amidst all complexity.”
“Just like…” The robed figure gently stroked his white beard: “Given a fulcrum, I could…
lift our entire world.”
The students listened to this sentence with a mix of confusion and contemplation.
Some couldn’t understand, others pondered hard.
Someone shook their head: “Teacher, lifting our world, how could such a thing be possible?”
“Are you God?”
“Legend has it that the great King Gurbha could move mountains and cross seas, but that doesn’t seem as exaggerated as what you’re saying, teacher.”
The robed figure looked kindly at the crowd.
Their era was rife with wars, focusing on crafting bows, arrows, and combat strategies, whereas these scholarly pursuits were like…
enlightenment to the many students present, seeds of thought beginning to sprout.
“God does not exist, there are patterns to everything that can be traced…”
“I believe you will quickly understand…”
The robed figure suddenly found himself at a loss for words.
Because many students were staring blankly at the distant Sky Dome.
They were teaching outdoors because their teacher…
the robed figure, believed that a broader view was beneficial for thinking, freeing them from the shackles of their previous thoughts.
