Chapter 237 What good is madness anyway?
Instantly, the six relics trembled simultaneously, releasing a dazzling light that formed a beam of light that shot straight into the sky.
In the center of the pillar of light, a blurry humanoid silhouette appeared, exuding a chilling aura of terror.
"Hahaha! Success! The power of the Gu God will soon be mine!"
Helian Feng laughed wildly, his eyes filled with madness.
Seeing the scene before him, Jiang Mo frowned deeply.
"Foolish fellow, you have no idea what you're doing."
Jiang Mo no longer hesitated. His internal Qi surged, and his whole body emitted a dazzling golden light.
"In my name, by the might of the God of Gu, seal!"
With a loud shout from Jiang Mo.
A tremendous power erupted from his body, forming a golden light shield that enveloped the entire altar.
As soon as the light shield appeared, the light pillar and the humanoid silhouette immediately began to tremble, as if they were under great suppression.
Helian Feng couldn't believe his eyes: "Impossible! How could you suppress the power of the Gu God? Unless..."
He suddenly looked up, staring intently at Jiang Mo: "You...who exactly are you?"
Jiang Mo did not answer, but instead formed hand seals, continuously strengthening the power of the seal.
The beam of light began to distort, and the humanoid outline became increasingly blurred.
The light of the six relics also went out, as if they had lost all their power and turned into ordinary objects.
The entire altar fell silent, with only the golden light emanating from Jiang Mo still shining brightly.
Helian Feng knelt on the ground, staring at everything in disbelief: "No...impossible...it was supposed to have succeeded...how could this be..."
Jiang Mo walked slowly towards Helian Feng, looking down at him from above: "Do you think gaining power is so easy?"
"Those six so-called relics are nothing but a smokescreen."
"The true remains of the Gu God are never something you can covet."
The altar was in a mess.
The members of the Helian family either collapsed or were captured, and the blood sacrifice ritual completely failed.
Helian Feng knelt before Jiang Mo, his eyes filled with resentment and fear: "Why? Why can you suppress the power of the Gu God?"
Jiang Mo looked down at him, her eyes calm: "Because I am the true successor of the Gu God."
These words struck Helian Feng like a thunderbolt, making him tremble.
"No...impossible...Our Helian family has been researching the remains of the Gu God for hundreds of years, how could we be wrong?"
Jiang Mo shook his head: "What you're studying is nothing more than incomplete legends."
"The true secret of the Gu God has never been revealed to outsiders."
With a wave of his hand, countless tiny black dots immediately appeared on Helian Feng's body; these were the Gu poison planted by Jiang Mo.
"Be a good person from now on. These Gu poisons will always be inside you, and they will activate whenever you have evil thoughts."
Helian Feng's face turned deathly pale; he knew his life was over.
"Big brother, we've rescued all the hostages."
Zhang Chulan came over and reported, "However, several injuries are quite serious and require immediate medical attention."
Jiang Mo nodded: "Escort them out of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, and contact the company to arrange for their pickup."
Just as Zhang Chulan was about to turn and leave, Jiang Mo called him back.
"Wait, you go with Wei Duoduo and Chen Duo, Feng Baobao stays behind."
Although Zhang Chulan was puzzled, he didn't ask any further questions, nodded, and left with his men.
After they left, Jiang Mo looked at Feng Baobao and asked, "Did you sense anything?"
Feng Baobao nodded slightly: "There's a strange resonance at the center of the altar, as if it's calling to me."
"Just as I thought." A look of realization flashed in Jiang Mo's eyes. "Come with me."
The two arrived at the center of the altar.
Jiang Mo reached out and stroked the Bagua pattern on the ground, as if searching for something.
Suddenly, his hand stopped at a specific point: "Found it."
Jiang Mo gently pressed down with his palm.
A stone slab on the ground slowly sank down, revealing a dark hole.
“This is…” Feng Baobao looked at the cave entrance curiously.
"The true entrance to the source of all poisons."
Jiang Mo explained, "The Helian family doesn't know."
"The place where they built the altar was directly above the source of all poisons."
After saying that, Jiang Mo leaped into the cave, with Feng Baobao following closely behind.
The cave was pitch black, but both of them could clearly see their surroundings.
This is a long and narrow passage.
As they descended, the temperature rose, and the air became filled with a thick layer of toxic fumes.
But Jiang Mo and Feng Baobao seemed to be walking in a spring breeze, without any discomfort.
"Do you know what the source of all poisons is?" Jiang Mo asked as they walked.
Feng Baobao shook her head: "I only know it's a legend."
"The source of all poisons is the origin of all poisons and venomous insects."
Jiang Mo explained, his voice echoing in the narrow passage.
"And your, Feng Baobao, having an innate poisonous constitution is also related to this place."
Upon hearing this, Feng Baobao's expression changed slightly: "You know about my background?"
Jiang Mo nodded: "I'm not entirely sure, but I have some guesses."
"You'll understand when you meet the guardian of the source of all poisons."
The passage widened and eventually led to a huge underground cave.
In the center of the cave lies a black lake, its surface as calm as a mirror, yet exuding a chilling aura.
A huge stone statue stands by the lake, about three zhang tall.
It is carved with a blurry human figure, the face of which is not clearly visible.
But his body was covered with patterns of various venomous insects and poisons.
“That’s… a Gu God statue?” Feng Baobao asked in surprise.
Jiang Mo nodded: "Yes, this is the real statue of the Gu God, and also the abode of the guardian of the source of all poisons."
He walked to the lakeside and said softly, "Black Gu, it's been many years."
As soon as he finished speaking, ripples suddenly appeared on the lake.
Then, a human figure slowly emerged from the lake.
He was a man who looked to be around thirty or forty years old.
He wore a black robe and had an ordinary face; the only thing that stood out was his pair of completely black eyes.
"Jiang Mo!" Hei Gu's voice was filled with surprise, "How did you get here?"
Jiang Mo smiled slightly: "I came to stop a disaster, and incidentally brought someone to see you."
He stepped aside to make room, and only then did Hei Gu see Feng Baobao standing behind Jiang Mo.
When he saw Feng Baobao's face clearly, he was visibly shocked: "This...this is..."
For some reason, Feng Baobao felt a strange sense of familiarity when she saw the black Gu.
The black gu approached Feng Baobao, its eyes filled with disbelief: "The Heavenly Gu Body...she actually has the Heavenly Gu Body..."
"What is the Heavenly Gu Body?" Feng Baobao asked curiously.
Hei Gu took a deep breath, calming himself down: "The Heavenly Gu Body is the ultimate form of the innate poison body, appearing only once every thousand years."
"Those who possess the Heavenly Gu Body can control all poisons and Gu worms."
"It can even directly absorb the power of the source of all poisons and become a new guardian."
Feng Baobao was completely confused: "What does this have to do with me?"
Hei Gu looked at her, his tone softening: "Because your mother also possessed this constitution."
These words struck Feng Baobao like a thunderbolt, leaving her speechless for a moment.
