Chapter 149: Does the Peach Organization Have Such a Plan?
【The new rules for the Calamity Realm are as follows—】
【1. Eunuchs are protected by the Sky God and cannot be harmed.】
【2. If one does not castrate themselves, they may also sacrifice others to condense Spirit Treasure Fruits. Collecting three Spirit Treasure Fruits will grant the protection of the Sky God.】
【3. Worship the merciful Sky God before midnight. Those who do not worship will face the wrath of the gods.】
【4. Obtaining forgiveness from the gods will exempt one from their wrath.】
【Realm Crossing Condition: Survive for 24 hours】
【Realm Crossing Reward: Get out alive】
Above a town identical to Yuanhe Orphanage, 160 people stood on a glass platform. Among them were high-ranking nobles of various statuses, including Marquises and Earls, influential politicians, and high-ranking officers from the Holy Department and Military Department. They were all scantily clad, having just sobered up from a wild and ecstatic banquet, their faces grim as they surveyed their surroundings.
“Calamity Realm…”
“Is this Yuanhe Orphanage?!” The blond man, Lucas, his expression changed, quickly recognized the scene. He had visited the orphanage twice before, playing the role of ‘gods’ and hunting down several Spirit Master powerhouses who considered themselves geniuses. He was familiar with its rules.
“How did we end up in this Calamity Realm? Didn’t they say it was destroyed by that disgusting organization?”
“Huh? It seems those little treasures didn’t come in?”
They looked around and found that only they and the garden staff had entered.
“Ah, what a pity. Miss Zhizi must miss this place very much,” several nobles chuckled playfully.
Aside from a few nominated noble girls, many girls in the garden came from the orphanage, and Jiang Zhizi was no exception.
Seeing a few nobles still laughing and chatting, the Flower Host in the corner looked displeased and said in a deep voice, “Gentlemen, now is not the time for your jokes. This is a Seven-eyed Level Calamity Realm!”
“Flower Host, relax. Isn’t the Garden Master here? What could possibly—”
“Bang!!”
Before the person could finish speaking, the glass platform shattered with a bang. The moment they landed, four Calamity Realm rules flooded their minds.
“What is this?”
“How did the rules change like this?!”
“Castration and worshipping the gods grant protection? Damn it, do they think we’re idiots?”
“Hiss— Hiss—” However, before anyone could react, from the shadows of the houses in all directions, crawled out white scorpion beasts, each two meters tall.
These beastly calamities appeared humanoid, with explosive red muscle masses all over their bodies. Their pale, messy hair was scattered like straw on their shoulders and necks. However, sharp white spikes extending from the back of their heads resembled scorpion tails, curving forward towards their eyes like a crescent moon.
They crawled on the ground, naked, their scarlet eyes fixed on the more than one hundred people in the center. Their lips slowly curled, revealing ferocious, bloody teeth like a shark’s.
The moment they saw these calamities, the scalps of all the nobles tingled.
【White Scorpion Calamity, its touch is highly poisonous. During mating with humans, it secretes pheromones that strongly enhance desire.】
They naturally recognized the white scorpion calamities, as one of the garden’s entertainment activities was for the treasures to mate with them while the nobles bet on which treasure could last longer.
More and more white scorpion calamities crawled out of the corners. Ten, twenty, even faint scorpion shadows gradually appeared on the rooftops in all directions. Thirty, forty…
The hundred or so people gathered in the center froze, slowly retreating, the atmosphere falling into silence.
But as a white scorpion calamity in the distance moved and crawled towards them, someone finally couldn’t bear their fear, screamed, and turned to run.
Chaos erupted!
In the sunlight, despairing screams of pain and excited roars of the scorpion beasts intertwined, creating a chaotic symphony.
The important figures who had remained calm could no longer hold back. They ran through the streets, shouting in fear.
“Damn it! Garden Master! Why isn’t the Garden Master making a move?!”
“Ahhhhh—”
Desperate screams were incessant.
“Garden Master, are you watching a play! Hurry up and make a move!”
In despair, they waited in vain for help, uttering angry curses.
Finally, after the first person took action on their own crotch and was no longer pursued by the white scorpion calamities with amorous intentions, more and more important figures followed suit. Only by becoming a eunuch could one gain the protection of the Sky God.
After all, as long as they could safely escape, they would have plenty of ways to restore their normal bodies. Being a eunuch, it wasn’t a big deal!
However, unfortunately, among the 160 people, more than thirty were women, and most of them were Second-stage Spirit Master staff. They were naturally beings without the ability to become eunuchs. Since the first condition could not be met, the only option was the second: sacrifice three people to gain the Sky God’s protection!
And so, the battle royale game began!
“Damn it! Damn it!!” The blond man Lucas, his face deathly pale, was also preparing to castrate himself. But before he could act, he was kicked to the ground by a woman. A white scorpion calamity lunged from behind and tackled him…
The blond man’s desperate cries echoed through the heavens and earth.
The scene was somewhat picturesque. Xia Feng, looking down from the sky, automatically skipped it and looked elsewhere.
In this space the size of a small town, there were over three hundred houses, and each house contained a shrine on a high pedestal.
A young noble, desperate and in a frenzy, did not understand the trap in the rules and began to prostrate himself before the shrine, trembling as he prayed for the gods’ protection.
Similar to the rules of condensing Spirit Flesh Fruit, worshipping the gods would turn one into a Spirit Flesh Fruit.
However, the rules rebuilt by Xia Feng were for condensing Spirit Treasure Fruit.
The moment the noble prostrated himself, his body stiffened, his eyes bulged in horror, and he clutched his neck with both hands, his mouth wide open in a silent scream. He wanted to ask for help, but it was futile. A faint blue spirit flow emanated from his entire body, which was essentially vaporized spirit particles and spirit bases.
A person’s soul is composed of spirit particles, spirit bases, and spirit substance. Spirit particles are arranged in an orderly manner to form spirit pressure that covers the surface of the soul. The intermediate layer of the soul—the spirit base—is used to release and create spirit particles.
When a Spirit Master advances in stages, it is essentially the sublimation of their spirit base.
Losing a Spirit Master’s spirit base is equivalent to a cultivator in a xianxia world losing their foundation for cultivation—their dantian destroyed, their meridians severed…
Therefore, after losing their spirit base, they would be unable to use their Spirit Robes or Spirit Artifacts, completely reduced to commoners.
Even worse, lacking a spirit base would lead to physical weakness, a drastic decrease in lifespan, making them inferior to ordinary people.
At the same time, five foolish nobles completed their worship. Their internal spirit particles and spirit bases were drained, and under the influence of the rules, they formed five thumb-sized fruits emitting a milky white halo.
They converged before Xia Feng.
Compared to the Spirit Flesh Fruit made of human flesh, the Spirit Treasure Fruit was more like a spiritual power fruit formed from the spiritual energy of cultivators in a xianxia world.
“Five Tier 1 Spirit Treasure Fruits. Not bad,” Xia Feng reached out and took them, nodding in satisfaction. He looked down at the more than one hundred people below, a terrifying smile curling his lips.
He wondered if he could condense Tier 2 Spirit Treasure Fruits, or even Tier 3 Spirit Treasure Fruits.
Although he was currently only a Second-stage Spirit Master, his amount of spirit particles had reached the early Third-stage level by consuming Spirit Treasure Fruits. The Third and Fourth stages were a watershed. Reaching the peak of the Third stage, or even the Fourth stage, would require more and higher-level Spirit Treasure Fruits.
And now was the perfect opportunity to greedily plunder the Calamity Realm.
“What is happening now?”
In the white-light ruled Calamity Realm, Cha Nai Xue looked around, then back at Xia Feng, her tone somewhat incredulous, “It’s actually a Key of Calamity, and you’re controlling a Seven-eyed Level Calamity Realm? How did you get it?”
However, as soon as she spoke, she realized, “Is it the Peach Organization?”
From the death of the Marquis to Yuanhe Orphanage, the Peach Organization had been targeting the Garden. Cha Nai Xue seemed to realize something, looking thoughtfully at Xia Feng:
“No wonder you demon was so easily captured by the Garden. So the Peach Organization sent you in on purpose, wanting to use the Calamity Realm to eliminate the Garden’s participants in one fell swoop?”
Xia Feng smiled without speaking.
Mu Qingtong, standing beside him, glanced at Xia Feng, “The Peach Organization has such a plan? I had no idea?”
Only the three of them were in the white-light space.
Xia Feng had brought Cha Nai Xue in because he had a mission for her.
“Alright, Cha Nai Xue, you can ask any questions later. I have a very important mission for you now,” Xia Feng said seriously.
“What is it?”
“From now on, you will become the Sky God and punish those who violate the rules and disrespect the gods, while also plundering the Spiritual Materials they possess.”
“You want me to go?” Cha Nai Xue was stunned, “Then what about you two?”
“Us?” Xia Feng spread his hands, “Naturally, we’ll be staying in the Rules Space to cultivate. There are so many Spirit Treasure Fruits, it takes a lot of time to absorb them.”
“…”
Cha Nai Xue frowned and glared at Xia Feng. So I’m out here working hard, and you two are happily dual cultivating at home, right?
Xia Feng smiled and stared at her, “What, Saintess, are you unwilling?”
Seeing Xia Feng’s demeanor, as if ready to punish her at any moment, Cha Nai Xue once again realized her status as a female slave with no human rights and no right to refuse.
“I understand.”
Cha Nai Xue pursed her lips and said helplessly, “Fine, I’ll go.”
