Chapter 246: Chapter 158: Holy Altar Forbidden Ground! Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons at the Peak of Perfection! (Part 2)

"It’s very likely, but the experts within the Holy Altar are extremely powerful, reaching beyond the Gang Condensing Realm. You won’t be able to handle it."

Fan Gushan straightforwardly reminded Su Que.

He feared Su Que would enter the Holy Altar’s forbidden grounds to enhance the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons.

Su Que nodded, contemplating.

Although he wasn’t sure if the information provided by Li Xuanji’s master was accurate, to be safe, he wouldn’t approach the Holy Altar.

However, if his Martial Arts Realm reached beyond the Gang Condensing Realm, he would definitely come to Miaojiang again, to enter the Holy Altar.

Then, Su Que asked Tong Fu for direction, heading towards the Five Immortals Sect.

Fan Gushan saw Su Que’s calm reaction and was unsure of Su Que’s thoughts, worried that Su Que might provoke the Holy Altar and lose his life here.

He took a deep breath, composed himself, and then said to Li Xuanji:

"Master, kill half of the Gu Masters here, and then immediately leave Miaojiang."

"Why?" Li Xuanji was puzzled. "Shouldn’t we kill them all?"

Fan Gushan explained: "Killing half the Gu Masters will ensure the remaining ones won’t pose a threat to us."

"Moreover, if the Holy Altar is indeed manipulating from behind, leaving half of the Miaojiang Gu Masters shows a more friendly signal to the Holy Altar."

"This way, it’s less likely the Holy Altar will be angered to the point of breaking agreements with the Liang Kingdom, sending Gu Masters out of Miaojiang to assassinate you in retaliation."

Li Xuanji was startled upon hearing he might be assassinated, then said:

"Even if we leave half of the Gu Masters, what if the Holy Altar is still angered? What should we do then?"

Fan Gushan said: "Once you’re out of Miaojiang, you must hide your tracks."

"Find someone who resembles you and cultivate him as your fake self."

"I will also refine a Corpse Gu, disguising it as you."

"This is not only to deal with potential assassinations from the Holy Altar but also for future assassinations from the Liang Court."

...

Su Que carried Tong Fu, directed by him, flying towards a Poisonous Forest of the Five Immortals Sect.

Soon, they arrived at one of the Five Immortals Sect’s Poisonous Forests.

After knocking down the guarding Gu Masters, they entered the Poisonous Forest, activating the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons to absorb the poisons within.

This Poisonous Forest contained more poisonous insects and plants than the unmanned secluded forests Fan Gushan had previously taken him to, with more potent toxins.

Waves of gas condensed from toxins rose from various poisonous plants and insects, converging into Su Que’s orifices and pores.

Su Que circulated the heart method, transforming it into Myriad Poison True Qi, merging it into the poison sac in his Sea of Qi.

The poison sac gradually expanded, and the Myriad Poison True Qi within became purer.

The cultivation progress of the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons was gradually improving.

In about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Su Que had converted all the toxins in this Poisonous Forest into Myriad Poison True Qi.

Su Que slowly ended his cultivation, standing up.

His hair, which had been floating due to his exercise, gradually descended.

He picked up Tong Fu, asked for the next location, and flew away.

...

Li Xuanji led his Heaven-Breaking Army, slaughtering half of the remaining Miaojiang Gu Masters, and quickly withdrew from Miaojiang.

According to Fan Gushan, it was feared that someone from the Miaojiang Holy Altar might come out and catch up with them, heavily damaging their army.

Soon, the Heaven-Breaking Army exited Miaojiang.

Fan Gushan looked at the Ten Thousand Mountains, recalling Su Que who was still inside, his heart filled with worry.

Just after the Heaven-Breaking Army and others left, a Village Chief of the Twelve Miao Villages immediately used his Lightweight Skill, rushing towards the forbidden area of the Holy Altar.

About half an hour passed, and he passed through several secluded forests and over several mountains, arriving at a forest filled with green mist, shouting: "Altar Master, we’ve lost!"

The external people of the Holy Altar referred to those in the Altar as Altar Master.

The voice reached into the green mist, then echoed in the forest.

Soon, the Village Chief saw a figure walking out of the green mist.

It was a man wearing ornate Miaojiang attire, with long black hair.

The man appeared to be about thirty years old, with stubble on his face, looking quite handsome.

He held a blood-red jade flute in his hand.

"How did you lose? Where are Liao Tianshan and He Lingyu?" The Altar Man stroked his jade flute, asking.

The Village Chief then explained everything.

The Altar Man listened.

He hadn’t expected there to be a Martial Artist in the Southern Domain at the Gang Condensing Realm, strong enough to kill Liao Tianshan and He Lingyu.

When he found out that this Martial Artist hadn’t left Miaojiang but instead went deeper into it, his eyes suddenly brightened.

If he could refine this Martial Artist into a Corpse Gu using the Holy Altar Technique, it would become a significant aid to him.

"Find him, and if there’s news, use this insect to send me a message."

Saying this, the Altar Man raised his hand, tossing five thumb-sized black flying insects to the Village Chief.

"Just write the message on a slip of paper, tie it to the back leg of this insect, and release it. The insect will fly back to me."

With that, the Altar Man swept back into the Holy Altar.

He had to report the news first and then go search for Su Que.

...

Under Tong Fu’s direction, Su Que arrived at the third Poisonous Forest.

He sat down in the forest, circulating the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons.

The gas containing toxins rose and gathered towards him.

Suddenly, he felt something in his heart, realizing someone had glanced at him from a distance and then left.

He immediately ended his cultivation, picked up Tong Fu, stood up, and flew in the direction of the person.

Soon, he caught up with a Miaojiang Gu Master in his thirties.

He recalled Li Xuanji’s master talking to him about the Holy Altar.

He didn’t know whether this Gu Master was going to report to the Holy Altar, and even if he interrogated him, it would be hard to tell if it was true or false.

So, he killed the Gu Master, absorbed the Gu Master’s Death Qi, and then used Myriad Poison True Qi to corrode the Gu Master’s body.

Afterwards, he returned to the Poisonous Forest and continued absorbing toxins.

At this time, while circulating the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons, he also kept part of his Heart Spirit on the outside, to be cautious of powerful Gu Masters approaching.

The toxins were absorbed into his meridians, transformed into Myriad Poison True Qi.

After a while, his poison sac again significantly expanded, and the Myriad Poison True Qi became even purer, seemingly about to condense into liquid.

He looked at his Attributes.

’Finally, the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons has reached Peak of Perfection.’

Su Que sighed inwardly, looking at his Attributes again.

Life Expectancy: 496

Talent Value: 97

The toxicity of Myriad Poison True Qi would damage the body.

Originally, his physique was extremely strong, with skin toughness comparable to the defense of an Exotic Golden Bell Shield.

Ordinary side effects could no longer harm his body.

However, with his reckless absorption of toxins these days, the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons progressed rapidly, increasing the side effects.

This way, the side effects reversed, making his physique more robust, thereby increasing his life expectancy.

’I’m close to breaking the five-hundred-year boundary. I wonder if anyone in this world has such a long life.’ Su Que thought.

Thinking this, Su Que rose from the forest, picked up Tong Fu, and headed towards the next gathering place of poisonous insects and plants.

According to Tong Fu, the next location was a Poison Field guarded by the Cave of Myriad Poisons, where many poisonous plants and flowers were planted.

The Cave of Myriad Poisons used them to concoct poisons, refine Gu, and raise Gu.

After arriving at the Poison Field, Su Que knocked down five Gu Masters guarding it and flew to the center of the Poison Field, sitting down.

This Poison Field was large, equivalent in size to three soccer fields from his previous life.

Now that Su Que’s Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons had reached Peak of Perfection in the 8th Realm, his power to absorb toxins had also increased.

He circulated the heart method of the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons, and immediately, toxic gas rose from this vast Poison Field.

Then, as if drawn by an invisible force, it converged towards his body.

While absorbing the toxins, Su Que became more vigilant of his surroundings.

Because this Poison Field was unlike the Poisonous Forest, there were fewer covers around, making it easier for others to discover him from a distance.

If anyone approached, he would immediately escape.

Suddenly, Su Que felt someone approaching.

He immediately stopped his cultivation.

Instantly, the surrounding toxic gas was absorbed entirely into his body, like a whale absorbing water.
