When Shi Hao heard from Chen Zhixing that he could not go home, he was devastated!

Didn't they agree to come out for adventure? Why do they want him to settle down in this world after all the risk?

If he settled here.

What about the senior and junior brothers at home?

What should we do with the group of animals in Ziwei Mountain that are left unattended?

What should I do if my master's wife, master's husband, and master's aunt miss him?

The two confidantes in Tianduan Mountains.

What? You said that if Shi Hao couldn't go back, those two confidantes would get married in no time?

That's fine.

Shi Hao, who didn't feel that he was about to be cuckolded, became listless after hearing what Chen Zhixing said, and seemed lazy the whole day.

Even Zhang Wen, who was accompanying him, reminded Shi Hao again and again not to forget the agreement between them. He had agreed to ask Xing Zun to help him clear up the drawbacks of the personality fusion. Shi Hao, you cannot deny it.

After being reminded several times, Shi Hao slowly said "Oh", lowered his head and sighed as he went to find Chen Zhixing.

I feel very unmotivated.

Ever since.

"Master, please help me. There is a bug in Zhang Wen's brain. Please help him pick it out."

"Bugs?"

"Well, bugs came in."

The master and disciple looked at each other, and then turned their gaze to Zhang Wen, who was following them and stopped at the door, not daring to enter.

Zhang Wen: "."

You have a bug in your brain! I am possessed by a tree spirit from the universe!

Although he was complaining like this in his heart, of course, Zhang Wen would not say it openly.

He dare not.

So facing Chen Zhixing's gaze, Zhang Wen could only smile awkwardly and said, "Master Xingzun, Brother Shi was just joking. I was unlucky. I was seriously injured when I came to the Huanyu Realm, and was taken advantage of by a tree spirit from this generation. Then, that tree spirit seemed to have drilled something into my brain. Master Xingzun, what do you think?"

Let Chen Zhixing see it?

There's nothing good about Chen Zhixing.

He rolled his eyes silently in his heart and complained a few words about why the creatures in the universal world were so willing to merge with the life forms in the outside world. Then Chen Zhixing released his spiritual sense to directly cover Zhang Wen.

After a moment, Chen Zhixing couldn't help but let out a light exclamation.

Zhang Wen immediately spoke up when he saw this: "Master Xingzun, have you discovered the problem?"

"That's it."

Chen Zhixing shook his head, and then a faint starlight appeared on his fingertips, and he pointed a finger at the center of Zhang Wen's eyebrows.

A moment later, amidst Zhang Wen's surprise and delight and Shi Hao's expression of "I said it was a bug that got into your brain", Chen Zhixing dragged out a caterpillar-like will from Zhang Wen's sea of ​​consciousness and started playing with it in his hands.

"What is this, a will that is not of gold but is not summoned by the spirit world of the Universal World?"

"Master Xingzun, what did you say?"

"Nothing." He put the caterpillar away and waved his hand at Zhang Wen. "The problem has been solved. This thing was hiding in your sea of ​​consciousness, interfering with your subconscious mind. Now it has been taken out."

Having said that, Chen Zhixing no longer looked at Zhang Wen, and his intention to send him away was already very clear.

Chen Zhixing didn't care. To him, it was just a bug caught from someone else's brain. This ideological bug was different from the deeply integrated godhead. It did not carry the power of law itself, nor was it truly integrated with Zhang Wen's consciousness. At most, it was a parasite and could be easily picked out.

But Zhang Wen can’t do that!

You know, this bug has taken root in his brain for more than a year. During this period of time, this thing has been a major concern for him. Now this major concern has been removed so easily by Chen Zhixing. Even though this matter was told to him by this Star Lord himself, Zhang Wen is still unsure!!!

After struggling and hesitating for a long time, Zhang Wen couldn't help but blurt out, "Master Xingzun, how about you take another look? I have lived with this thing for a long time. Now that it's been taken out, should I eat something to replenish myself, or go home and recuperate for a while?"

"Food supplements? Cultivation?"

Chen Zhixing was so shocked by what he said, and then after seeing Zhang Wen's frustrated expression, he said speechlessly: "Don't worry, it is eradicated. This spiritual insect has not really taken root in your sea of ​​consciousness. Maybe it can't, or the method used is not complete. This thing can only slightly arouse your thoughts, and it is not a threat to you. As for self-cultivation, you have reached the Nirvana realm. What kind of self-cultivation can be useful to you? Can I find a piece of gold to replenish you?"

Zhang Wen was speechless.

Things seem to be exactly as this Lord Star said.

Then.

Is he, really, liberated?

Zhang Wen left with a feeling of depression. He felt that this long journey with Shi Hao was a bit strange. Not only did the Demon Lord Chen Zhixing seem to be different from what he had imagined, but the methods he used to deal with his problems also seemed too trivial.

After Zhang Wen left.

At Chen Zhixing's residence, Shi Hao, who was lazily lying on a chair, said:

"Master, isn't he really stupid? He just had a bug crawling into his brain, but he spent so much time worrying about it for nothing."

"Stupid?" Chen Zhixing didn't look at Shi Hao, but took out the 'caterpillar' that condensed the life essence of the tree spirit and played with it in his hand: "It's okay, this thing is not a threat in my hand, but for you and Zhang Wen now, it is also a big trouble. If you don't deal with it and let it continue to develop in Zhang Wen's brain, maybe in less than three to five years, Zhang Wen will become a puppet controlled by this thing."

Spirit insect.

This was the name that was passed on by Soth, whose true identity was unknown, after Chen Zhixing got the bug from Zhang Wen's mind.

This spiritual insect looks like a caterpillar, and its actual habits are also like those of a caterpillar.

It parasitizes on the sea of ​​will of others. When in caterpillar state, it feeds on the distracting thoughts of others. While gnawing on the distracting thoughts, it also excretes some evil thoughts to pollute the host's sea of ​​consciousness, making the host become irritable, angry and impulsive.

After passing the most vulnerable caterpillar stage, it enters the adult eater stage. During this process, the spirit worm will devour the host's polluted and dilapidated will in its larval stage. After it has completely devoured the host's consciousness, it will form a cocoon in the host's sea of ​​consciousness and lurk. At the same time, the host's body in the outside world loses the control of consciousness and will become a monster with only the survival instinct of eating and killing. The host will not wake up until the cocoon in its mind successfully transforms and hatches a new consciousness.

But the host at this time is no longer the same person as before, but a metamorphosed spiritual insect.

It has some of the original host's memories, has accepted everything about the original host's body and most of the interpersonal relationships. It can be regarded as another form of possession, like a cuckoo taking over the magpie's nest.

However, the story does not end here.

After the spirit worm's consciousness awakens, it will also consume the energy generated by this body's instinctive eating during this period of time, allowing this body to also enter a cocoon state. In the process, it will constantly adjust the body's talents, physique, appearance, and even the path of practice.

After all this is done, when the person possessed by the spirit worm "wakes up" again, he will be a "new life" that truly possesses most of the original host's memories, but is much stronger than the original host in all aspects.

This is the complete life of a spiritual insect.

Oh.

By the way, the news Chen Zhixing got from Soth was that the spirit worm was not a race, but actually a method of possessing another person's body that could be practiced and applied to most life forms in the starry sea. It could condense the essence of one's own life to transform into a spirit worm that could possess the body of another person.

What's interesting is that the origin of this perverted method is a small world under the Universal Realm, which is defined as a D-level plane by Soth. In that world, the practice method of the spirit insect seems to be the fundamental inheritance of a sect that believes in evil gods.

Anyway, after reading it, Chen Zhixing felt speechless.

Can this kind of weird martial arts be passed down?

Also, how did the so-called D-level world create such a strange martial art as the Spirit Worm, which even a cultivator like him from the Tianxuan Realm found to be weird?

Is it true that you don't know anything and it's all up to you with time and fate?

After thinking about it, Chen Zhixing continued to study the spiritual insect in his hand, and continued to perfunctorily say:

"Don't underestimate this thing. It is the most essential inheritance in the world. Oh, by the way, do you want the cultivation method for this thing? If one day the life span of this universe comes to an end, maybe you, Little Stone, can use this method to escape with your life."

"Ah I?"

Shi Hao pointed at himself and then shook his head fiercely: "I don't want it! Master! I'm quite satisfied with my current body. Everything I eat tastes delicious. Why should I change it!"

"Yeah, that's right, but I'll give you a copy of this technique as well. Study it when you have time. Who knows, you might be able to come up with something new."

As he spoke, Chen Zhixing stretched out his hand in the air, and then a large ball of starlight turned into a jade slip in his hand, which Chen Zhixing casually threw to Shi Hao.

"Oh."

Shi Hao took the jade slip and put it in his arms without even looking at it.

The person still lay on the chair and didn't want to move.

It's really like living a life without love.

Chen Zhixing was very interested in this spiritual insect.

Because this was the first kind of will he had ever seen that was not made of metal and could resist the call of the spiritual world and still remain in the material world.

Although this is most likely related to the incomplete spiritual laws of small worlds like the Universal World, Chen Zhixing feels that if improvements are made on a certain scale, this thing may not be useless when brought to the Universal World!

No.

Chen Zhixing even suspected that even if this technique was taken to the Universal World now, it would still have most of its effects. At least the part about integrating other people's consciousness and devouring other people's consciousness to turn into a cocoon was absolutely effective!

The only thing that Chen Zhixing found unreliable was this method of turning himself into a spiritual insect to resist the call of the spiritual world.

By changing into the posture of an insect, can one avoid the gravitational pull of the spiritual world?

This is obviously unscientific.

If the attraction of the spiritual world can be avoided so easily, then wouldn't the Taoist masters in the Tianxuan spiritual world be able to sneak out in this way?

"Anyway, this is an idea. As for whether it can be implemented, it will take a few more experiments. Yes, I need a few more test subjects."

Experimental subjects are easy to find.

Chen Zhixing greeted Soth, and Soth told Chen Zhixing to come and pick it up later.

Although Soth did not have a ready-made spirit worm in his hands, the universe was in a state of war. In a state of war, there would always be some unlucky people who practiced the spirit worm technique and died. During this period, Soth only needed to peel the spirit worm off their bodies and give it to Chen Zhixing.

In this regard, Soth is the perfect match.

The god of death at the end, converted into the terms of the Tianxuan Realm, is essentially the first Taoist master of the spiritual world of the universal world, and the true god in charge of the laws of guidance and death.

It was just a piece of cake for Soth to capture a few dead consciousnesses.

This is where the interesting part lies.

Before Chen Zhixing mentioned it, Soth didn't take the spirit worm seriously, because after all, this thing was just a trick played by ordinary cultivators. To those cultivators who already possessed the golden nature and divine nature, this thing was no different from a real worm and could not affect them at all.

After all, what the spirit worm can do, the godhead can also do. It can even be said that the spirit worm is a simplified and low-profile version of the godhead, and it does not have the attributes of laws.

Beings like Soth naturally don't think this thing is anything special.

But now, after discovering that Chen Zhixing was interested in this spiritual insect, Soth subconsciously felt that he should also study whether this spiritual insect really had anything special.

After all, even a powerful guy like Chen Zhixing is interested in this little bug.

As for the reason Chen Zhixing told Soth, "Explore the real reason why the spirit worm can resist the attraction of the spirit world", Soth certainly believed it, but he still felt that since the spirit worm could have this point that attracted Chen Zhixing, maybe he could find another useful point on it?

Ever since.

Throughout the entire universe, any cultivator who practiced the Spirit Worm would suffer misfortune within a short period of time.

Either they were affected by the legendary demigods who passed by, or they were swept into the war that was still spreading. Even worse, there were several Spirit Insect monks who were practicing when their consciousness was suddenly impacted by the laws of the world, and they died inexplicably!

Is there a more ridiculous way to die than this?!

However, this is the Universal World. For those low-level monks here, Soth, as the final god of death, can really decide their life or death with just a thought.

Whether it is at the physical level or at the legal level.

He doesn't usually do this, it's just that Soth doesn't want to. Only those who have reached the legendary level, or the peak of gold, and can barely contend against their own laws, can escape from Soth's method.

As for what Soth did, was it considered excessive?

Is there any fairness in the universe?

Don't make trouble.

The purpose of your cultivation of the Spirit Worm is to take over another's body. Soth is the god of death, and it is his job to kill you!
