"One-on-one, under the same cultivation level, the members of the Immortal Slaying Alliance can easily crush or even kill those cultivators parasitized by the Void Insect Race."
Lu Sheng smiled slightly.
"If these cultivators parasitized by the Void Insect Race are monsters, then the geniuses of the Immortal Slaying Alliance who see through illusions... are the true ’Insect Immortals’!"
"Insect Immortals who rely on devouring the Void Insect Race for cultivation!"
Lu Sheng looked at the Immortal Slaying Alliance’s information and began to speak with a smile.
"Besides, the ’Devouring Origin Technique’ created by Master Miesheng is an astonishing cultivation technique. It is precisely because of this technique that the members of the Immortal Slaying Alliance have superior combat power, and even... can cultivate by devouring insect eggs."
"It’s worth... referencing."
Lu Sheng showed a slight interest and began to look into the information about the ’Devouring Origin Technique.’
After examining and trying the ’Devouring Origin Technique’ for a while, Lu Sheng almost figured out how to cultivate with this technique.
"It’s just a pity that there are no insect eggs for me to experiment with. Otherwise, I could understand how this ’Devouring Origin Technique’ devours insect eggs and how the insect eggs take over the will of living beings!"
Lu Sheng rubbed his temples and quickly had a reaction.
"I got it, just go directly to the Immortal Slaying Alliance. These members rely on Golden Core Insect Eggs for cultivation; they must have extra insect eggs!"
Lu Sheng’s eyes lit up, and then he took out a token to contact the Immortal Slaying Alliance, informing them of his need for an insect egg.
The Immortal Slaying Alliance naturally agreed to Lu Sheng’s request without hesitation.
Not long after, a message came back from the Immortal Slaying Alliance, informing Lu Sheng that a member of the alliance was waiting for him outside the Pure and Muddy Gate with a defective Insect Egg Golden Core.
Lu Sheng’s figure flickered and arrived at the location.
The member of the Immortal Slaying Alliance respectfully handed over a defective Insect Egg Golden Core to Lu Sheng and then said with some embarrassment,
"Your excellency, it is challenging to obtain a complete Insect Egg Golden Core. It often requires killing a Golden Core cultivator and taking it while the other party doesn’t resist, hence only a defective Insect Egg Golden Core!"
Lu Sheng looked at the defective Insect Egg Golden Core in his hand and said with a smile, "It’s fine, I just need it for research. Thank you for your trouble!"
Lu Sheng waved his hand and his figure disappeared from the spot.
The member of the Immortal Slaying Alliance was left staring in shock at Lu Sheng’s disappearing location, "As expected of an outworld powerhouse, I didn’t even notice him disappearing. Even the Alliance Leader can’t do that!"
"It seems... there is hope for our Immortal Slaying Alliance!"
Thinking of this, the member of the Immortal Slaying Alliance became excited.
In the small courtyard.
Lu Sheng took out the defective Insect Egg Golden Core.
Although defective, the Void Insect Race inside the Insect Egg Golden Core had already developed more than halfway. Lu Sheng quickly began to research the Insect Egg Golden Core using the ’Devouring Origin Technique’ created by Master Miesheng.
With Lu Sheng’s advanced level of Mastery of Martial Arts, it did not take him long to figure out the mystery of how the insect eggs parasitize.
"These insect eggs, parasitizing in flesh and blood life forms, can actually absorb the emotions of the living beings as their own nutrients to grow themselves!"
Lu Sheng’s face showed a touch of surprise.
"But it makes sense. According to Zhu Xiaotian, those Golden Core cultivators parasitized by insect eggs gradually lose their emotions until they have none left."
"And the source of absorbing emotions... is this liquid!"
Lu Sheng’s gaze fell on the Void Insect Race within the Insect Egg Golden Core, which was still barely alive. Sticky green liquid oozed out from its body bit by bit.
"This green liquid is called ’Candle Core Liquid’ by the Immortal Slaying Alliance!"
"Whenever a cultivator has emotional fluctuations, the Void Insect Race starts secreting Candle Core Liquid, repressing the nervous spore that secretes emotions and gradually replacing the host’s nervous system."
"In this way, the parasitized cultivator loses their emotions. After the nervous system is replaced by Candle Core Liquid, the Void Insect Race can break out of the egg and take over the cultivator!"
"So... this is the secret of the Void Insect Race parasitism?"
Lu Sheng spoke to himself, a look of undisguised disgust appearing in his eyes.
"It’s despicable of these beasts to come up with such a method!"
Lu Sheng snorted coldly in his heart.
"And if we want to solve this problem, we must suppress the activity of the insect in the Insect Egg Golden Core. This way, cultivators who swallow the Insect Egg Golden Core won’t be affected by the Void Insect Race. Then, we could pretend to be parasitized Insect Immortals, right?"
As Lu Sheng spoke, his eyes gradually brightened.
"I wonder if my Qi Blood Power can suppress the activity in these insect eggs. Let’s give it a try!"
Lu Sheng channeled a trace of Qi Blood Power into the Insect Egg Golden Core.
Instantly, Lu Sheng could sense that the insects in the Insect Egg Golden Core became much stiffer as if they had lost some sort of activity.
"Hm? It actually worked!"
Lu Sheng’s eyes lit up.
