Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 173 Forging the Sacred Body, Stepping into the Fifth Rank!

From that day onward, a widespread belief has circulated among humankind:

A person has three fires!
Later, the elders in the tribe would always tell the younger generation:
"Don't pat someone on the shoulder from behind, because it will extinguish the fire on their shoulder."

"If you try to put out one of the three fires, you'll easily attract unclean spirits."

But often, people forget how the three fires came about.

They believe this is an innate characteristic of humans, that humans are born with the ability to resist ghosts.

History is the cruelest and most merciless thing, causing them to completely forget those dark ages of blood and tears.

at this time.

Zhu You Shen Ying Qing was still shaken; he had almost passed away by the slightest mistake.

"It's finally done!"

"Everyone has three fires; as long as life continues, the oil lamp will not burn, thus resisting the invasion of the soul calamity."

"Although constantly igniting three fires will shorten human lifespan, it is still better than having one's lifespan directly taken away."

"If I were to pass away on this very moment, I would have no regrets in life."

He felt he had done his best in this life, and the rest could be left to future generations.

Among the three thousand disciples who followed him, several showed extraordinary potential and were groomed by him to become the next generation of candidates for the God of Healing.

Therefore, he was not worried about his successor.

This legendary hero, destined to be remembered in history, displayed remarkable composure in his final moments.
"The only thing people do in life is to try and increase their lifespan."

“Their lineage of shamans compares themselves to the heavens, while our lineage of incantations naturally considers us mortals.”

"Since I am a god of healing, I must naturally defy fate and set an example for those who come after me."

"Even if it means death, I will fight for longevity!"

"In this life, one should seek immortality! One should contend with the heavens! One should roam freely between heaven and earth! This will be the historical theme of our human race for countless years to come!"

Next, he planned to fight for his lifespan and resolve the five signs of decay that plagued him.

Immortality.

He wants this spirit to live on, a pursuit etched into the very bones of humanity!

After that day, he bid farewell to his three thousand disciples and entrusted his sacred object of incantation, You, to his three most favored disciples.

The next generation of the God of Healing will be born among them.

"Teacher, you mustn't!"

"Teacher, please come back with us."

Hearing his disciples' earnest pleas, Ying Qing, being a stubborn man, refused to do what others asked of him.

"The five signs of decay in the celestial beings, this poison, you cannot help me, I can only rely on myself, you should go back now."

Having said that, he decisively left the city and once again visited kingdom after kingdom, embarking on his travels alone once more.

Hahaha!
He let out a long, hearty roar, bidding farewell to everyone.

"Although I do not wish to prolong my life, I do desire immortality and wish to walk the long road of life to set an example for future generations!"

one year later.

The five signs of decay in humans and celestial beings are becoming increasingly severe.

His immortal body had lost its vitality and spirit; his eye sockets were sunken, his skin was withered, and his whole body reeked of a foul stench.

But in every city he visited, people offered their blood and sweat!

"This is the only thing we can do."

Tick.

Tick.

Drops of blood flowed, converging into a vast ocean.

They wanted to extend the life of this admirable old man.

The will of the people is where their hearts belong!
Countless drops of blood and essence flowed into the heart of this emperor.

"We swore an oath of blood and offered it to the immortals."

They cried and shouted.

This elderly emperor, poisoned by a deadly toxin, gathered the hearts of the people of the world at this moment. The essence and blood of countless different people condensed more and more in his heart, causing all sorts of strange phenomena to appear.

"With the hearts and souls of countless people united in my being, I must explore the path forward for the sake of the world!"

Ying Qing had already risked his life, possessing great courage and a broad mind, and wanted to do one more great thing before he died.

Regarding the issue of lifespan for mortals, everyone currently possesses three "fires" (a type of protective energy) that can ward off evil spirits and calamities.

Now, he must overcome the five signs of decay in the celestial beings, resolve the issue of the immortals' lifespan, and resist the poisoning by the underworld officials who then try to take his soul and extend his life.

One year.

Five years.

ten years.

Ying Qing drank the lifeblood of millions of people, becoming increasingly supernatural.

The continuous growth of essence and the continuous depletion of qi and spirit caused his body to become unbalanced.

He actually began to fall from his immortal body, transforming into an incredible, bizarre zombie.

His body was filled with pure and intense essence and blood.

His whole body was surging with energy, soaring to the heavens; whether he was walking, lying down, sitting, or standing, his energy flowed with terrifying power.

Someone stood on the city wall and looked out: "That sir, how can life be so overwhelming now? He no longer dares to enter the city."

A powerful figure exclaimed, "This is a mythical being walking on the earth! It moves like the wind, dries up waters, kills grass, and leaves the land barren for miles around, causing severe droughts in the countries it traverses!"

An elderly man with white hair and beard sighed, not believing that this person could survive: "We are witnessing history!! We are also witnessing the passing of an era!" In each city, Ying Qing, who had turned into a withered old man, dared not enter the city again.

However, as he walked and stopped, he unexpectedly encountered a remarkable woman.

This man was thin and tall, with thick hair, buck teeth, and protruding lips. He was born with a divine brain and was not afraid of his intense heat.

Because this woman resembled a mountain monkey, she was called "Female Ape" by the people.

He was not allowed to enter the city, but this ugly woman, with a kind heart, began to take charge of delivering the life essence of the people of each city to him.

Gradually.

The female ape became his follower.

Another ten years have passed.

Although the woman was ugly, she was kind-hearted and gradually got to know Ying Qing, and even fell in love with him.

Ying Qing didn't care about her ugly appearance and couldn't help but sigh:
"How strange! The world is full of wonders. With your physique, you are able to keep adapting and evolving."

"You've even managed to gradually get closer to and adapt to my popularity."

"It seems like he has some kind of special talent."

"In this world, there are hosts born with divine abilities, and your talent is like a weakened version of that divine ability, possessing only one in a billion of its power."

He continued to study the other party's innate divine brain and felt that the divine body's extraordinary talent was somewhat similar to that of a divine object.

perhaps.

The innate sacred body continuously grows stronger, eventually acquiring the power of a divine object in a certain aspect.

And divine objects.
Is it the essence of some incredibly powerful beings who cultivated their sacred bodies to the extreme, after their fall?
Years later, the female ape gave birth to a baby girl for the old man.

This baby girl also possesses various miraculous powers, and is not afraid of the extreme yang flames.

From that day forward, this old man dedicated his life to serving the world, and finally settled down and started a family in his later years.

However, the ugly woman also lost her life force after giving birth and died on the spot.

The joy of having a successor.

The immense grief of losing his wife.

This solitary and wandering god of healing seems to have finally achieved some enlightenment.

Wow!
In the sky, wind and clouds gather.

A powerful aura suddenly erupted.

He actually took an incredible step!
Pseudo-fifth order.

A breakthrough to the fifth rank requires a sacred body.

As Hot Li once said, martial arts is a way of physical evolution.

The art of incantation is unique; it can control the flow of energy in the human body. Perhaps through human cultivation, a weakened version of the innate sacred body can be evolved: the acquired martial body.

And the essence and blood, even the oils, are mixed with fresh blood.

Over the years, he has absorbed the essence and blood of hundreds of millions of people, and the hearts of the masses, tempering his body to become extraordinary.

His zombie body is already that of a human emperor.

The emotions of the masses were injected into his body, causing a complete transformation at that moment.

wow-

The false holy body has been formed.

However, his sacred body lacked a sacred brain.

The Sacred Brain was originally the brain of an immortal who gathered essence, energy, and spirit, but now it lacks energy and spirit, resulting in a damaged Sacred Brain.

In summary.

He's only a pseudo-fifth-tier player.

However, for this primitive era, this level of understanding was unprecedented and an incredible leap forward.

"Good, good, good, the gateway to enlightenment is broken today."

"The five signs of decay in the celestial beings are also a temporary relief."

He had an epiphany, and a mysterious aura emanated from his body.

Profound, magnificent, and towering.

"If I do not die today, I will briefly pass through this tribulation of my lifespan. During the five signs of decay of the celestial beings, I will surely see the truth."

"To make everything clear and to unravel the mystery in my heart."

He felt an incredibly powerful force within him, and suddenly noticed a rat lurking in the shadows.

He couldn't sense the other person before.

But now, his psychic power, having broken through to the fifth rank, is so strong that it's as if he treats the whole world as a toy, giving him an invincible sense of dominating the world.

"So you really are still watching me!"

After saying this, he burned his wife, the female ape, to ashes, saying, "Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, my wife is the same, and so are you."

He gently carried the baby girl on his back and took a step forward.

In the blink of an eye, they had arrived in front of the terrified fourth-tier shaman.

"you you--"

The powerful shaman, whose face was filled with murderous intent, froze, not out of fear, but out of surprise. "How did you resolve the Five Signs of Decay?"

Ying Qing carried a baby girl on his back, his body radiating heat.
"It's not a solution, but a breakthrough in one's realm; death is temporarily postponed."

"This time, I'll see how you take away the sacred artifact!"

Having said that, his mental energy surged, as if a giant hand had grabbed the other person and instantly kneaded them into dough.
