560 The Mysterious Great Void World (2)

Clearly, this stone tablet was copied and not truly an isolated item.

However, to be able to be placed here, it must be a unique item that didn’t affect one’s comprehension of cultivation arts. Hence, after Xu Qing checked, he sat down cross-legged and took a deep breath as he looked at the stone tablet with determination.

“The military contribution points required for comprehension are quite high. I have three days of comprehension time. It’s best if I can succeed in one go!”

“I hope this demon transformation technique matches my judgment and can allow my Ghost Emperor Mountain… to materialize.”

Xu Qing didn’t hesitate. His perception spread out and fused into the stone tablet in front of him.

The instant he came into contact with the stone tablet, he heard roars that seemed to come from ancient times echoing in his mind.

These roars grew increasingly intense, drowning him like a storm. His body trembled and he could sense an eruption of teleportation power.

This was completely different from the comprehension experiences he had previously. Xu Qing opened his eyes and what appeared in front of him was nothingness.

The place he was at was no longer the enlightenment cubicle of the Great Void Demon Transformation Sect. He had actually been teleported into the body of a translucent fish.

This fish’s body was 100 feet long and some parts were covered in black runes. On them were depictions of crying faces, and faint cries echoed from them as it floated forward in the void.

There was also a green lantern in front of the fish that emitted a dim and eerie light. In the void, it was like a ball of ghastly ghost fire that was guiding the way.

Xu Qing’s mind shook. This scene was beyond his expectations. Just as his expression changed and he stood up from the fish’s body with a sense of vigilance, an ancient voice reverberated in the fish’s body.

“A trial-taker of the demon transformation technique.”

“The place you’re going to now is the true place of comprehension of the demon transformation technique.”

“That place… is called the Great Void World.”

“The Great Void World is an extremely mysterious world fragment that our sect’s ancestor accidentally discovered. You will complete the contract with the Great Void World there. Once you succeed, you will have the ability to transform into a demon from now on.”

“The demon transformation technique doesn’t need comprehension, it only depends on the contract.”

“What you really need to comprehend is the demon body that will be transported into your sea of consciousness in the future after you succeed in the contract. The principle of demon transformation is actually to borrow the power of the Great Void World to help you materialize the demon. That’s why… there’s such a contract.”

“The signing of this contract doesn’t necessarily mean success. There’s a high chance of failure. Moreover, the Great Void World is cunning. Whether you can successfully sign the contract in the end will depend on your luck.”

“However, please remember that this is a top-secret of our sect. It can’t be divulged to outsiders. Those who violate it will be punished!”

“Regardless of success or failure, after you enter the Great Void World, you can return here by silently chanting ‘Return to Fish’. I wish you good luck.”

Xu Qing’s eyes gleamed. He could tell that this ancient voice wasn’t only transmitted to him. From the other party’s tone, he could tell that it was a voice recording.

Just as Xu Qing was thinking, his eyes suddenly narrowed. He saw an incomparably huge statue of a one-eyed being in the distant void.

There was a gaping hole in the stone statue’s chest.

The stone statue’s face was blurred, with only its open mouth discernible. From a distance, it looked like the entrance to another world.

The fish Xu Qing was in leaped up and arrived in front of the stone statue.

After the translucent fish’s body twitched, it spat out a bubble. Xu Qing’s body entered the stone statue’s mouth in this bubble.

At the next instant, what appeared in front of Xu Qing was a world that exceeded his imagination.

The world was shrouded in a thin fog, accompanied by eerie whispers that echoed through the mist. What made it even more eerie was a massive white object.

The first thing that caught Xu Qing’s attention was creases that were like a wave. After that, it grew larger and larger until the white object was completely revealed.

It was a huge brain!

Not only were there creases on it, but there was also a clear central groove. At the same time, there were two slightly smaller brown cerebellums beside the dark-colored brain stem.

It floated in the fog and one could see veins that looked like blood vessels and nerves under it, like messy tree branches.

This brain wasn’t unique in this world of fog.

Xu Qing’s pupils contracted. There were a lot of brain trees in the fog. They were all moving in the fog. At that moment, hundreds of them had appeared in his surroundings and there were even more in the depths of the fog.

The overall number couldn’t be counted.

Moreover, every brain tree here was squirming and whispering.

“There’s another one.”

“Shh, lower your voice. Don’t scare him away.”

“There’s another one in the distance. I wonder if they know each other.”

“I don’t know, but this one looks delicious. I heard that the Void Race is going to war. We have to be careful.”

“Come, choose me. Let’s sign a contract.”

“Do you want to transform into a demon? I can help you achieve it, as long as you… give me a portion of your memories.”

“Any memory can be sacrificed to me. As long as I’m satisfied, I’ll sign a contract with you.”

All the voices seemed to be speaking in a low voice. It was extremely bizarre.

Xu Qing’s expression was gloomy. This was the first time he had encountered such a comprehension of a cultivation art. As he coldly looked around, a brain tree floated toward him.

“They’re all lying to you and want to eat you up. Sign a contract with me. You just need to raise your hand for me to touch. I only want a small portion of your memories. Give them to me. I’m so hungry. Hurry up and give them to me…”

The brain emitted a mental voice that was filled with desire and greed. As it spoke, the brain was still squirming rapidly.

“Don’t believe it. It has deceived many people. Previously, it ate a companion of yours until he lost all his memories and forgot to sign a contract with it.”

“Yes, it’s very cunning. If you choose me, I’ll only eat a little. Give it to me.”

“Choose me… I’m so hungry. I want to eat. If you don’t give it to me, I won’t let you leave!”

The sounds in the surroundings instantly increased. Dozens of brains headed straight for Xu Qing and surrounded him. They revealed desire but also unconcealed malice and greed.

Xu Qing fell silent as he recalled the ancient voice on his way here.

This was a strange fragmented world called the Great Void. One could activate the demon transformation technique by signing a contract with this place. From what he was seeing now, the way to sign a contract was to let one of the brain trees eat a portion of his memories, and moreover, it had to be satisfied.

This was the cunning part. Whether they were satisfied or not, they had the final say.

“Memory…” Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and suddenly looked at the brain that emitted the most malice as he spoke softly.

“I choose you.”

As he spoke, Xu Qing lifted his hand.

The constantly squirming brain instantly arrived and touched Xu Qing’s palm.

“Then, which memory do you want to give me…” As the voice rang out, an unholy and greedy consciousness headed straight for Xu Qing’s mind. However, it didn’t seem to be able to take the initiative to choose and needed Xu Qing to release his memory to it.

“I’ll give my memories of D132 to you. Let’s see if you can remember and taste the things I can’t remember.” Xu Qing’s eyes were cold as he spoke softly.

At the next instant, the brain that came into contact with his palm suddenly trembled.
