Ch. 1724 - The Poison God’s Mausoleum, Poison Can Also Create A World

As Xu Zimo finished speaking, he stepped straight into the poison sea.

He did not sink, but walked through the air above the sea’s surface.

A faint layer of edict power enveloped his body.

The poisonous liquid could not harm him in the slightest.

“Boss, take me with you!” Ouyang Xiu shouted loudly.

At this moment, he was fully in leg-hugging mode.

If there was a thigh to cling to and you didn’t, you’d be an idiot.

Xu Zimo glanced back at him and said, “No one knows what’s inside. Once we go in, I won’t protect you.”

Hearing this, Ouyang Xiu quickly replied, “Boss, you don’t need to worry about me. I just want to broaden my horizons. If there’s danger, I’ll do my best to protect myself.”

Hearing that, Xu Zimo waved his hand.

Edict power wrapped around Ouyang Xiu, forming a bubble-like sphere that slowly floated above the poison sea.

Seeing this, many people felt envious.

“Everyone, think of a way. How do we cross this poison sea?” someone shouted.

At that moment, an elderly man stepped forward.

His hair and beard were completely white, and he smiled as he said, “This old man does have an idea.”

Someone immediately exclaimed, “It’s Medicine Sovereign Sun Sanmao. Medicine Sovereign has devoted tens of millions of years to the study of medicinal materials. When it comes to poisons, no one is more familiar.”

“That’s right. If Medicine Sovereign claims second place, no one would dare claim first. Please, Medicine Sovereign, point us toward a solution.”

Sun Sanmao shook his head and chuckled, then said, “Actually, the method isn’t nonexistent. Have you all heard of the principle of fighting poison with poison?”

“We all know that,” the crowd nodded quickly.

“The poison here is extremely potent. Unless one’s strength is great, almost no living being can come into contact with it,” Sun Sanmao said.

“However, although this poison sea rejects everything else, it is ineffective against poison itself.”

“Medicine Sovereign means…” Many people felt a flash of insight.

They seemed to grasp something, but were not entirely certain.

“We can use ordinary poison to build a bridge,” Sun Sanmao explained.

“These ordinary poisons do not threaten us. The poison sea will not repel them either. It’s the best of both worlds.”

“That’s right. Build a poison bridge. Ordinary poison won’t harm us,” someone shouted.

“I have several poisonous spirit herbs. I’m willing to contribute them all.”

As cultivators, everyone had at least some resources on hand.

“I also have poison. I’m willing to contribute all these Poison King Flowers.”

The crowd buzzed with discussion.

Someone then asked, “But how do we construct this poison bridge?”

“Refine the poisons and condense them into a solid bridge,” Sun Sanmao replied with a smile.

“Did you forget Medicine Sovereign’s profession? He’s an alchemist. Refining medicinal materials is his specialty,” someone called out.

Soon, tens of millions of poisonous materials were gathered.

Sun Sanmao waved his hand.

Countless poisonous substances were melted by flames and transformed into liquid poison.

These poisonous liquids floated above the poison sea.

Just as Sun Sanmao had predicted, the poison sea showed no reaction.

The liquids condensed into a bridge that spanned the poison sea.

“Everyone, come up,” Sun Sanmao said.

As people stepped onto the bridge, someone said, “This inheritance site is so dangerous. I have a feeling this might be the Poison God’s actual tomb.”

“Who knows? The Poison God was unpredictable by nature. Until the very end, no one knows whether there will be a reversal,” someone else replied.

…

On the other side, Xu Zimo led Ouyang Xiu as they crossed the poison sea.

Xu Zimo advanced with absolute force, destroying everything in his path.

The poison sea naturally rejected their presence.

But Xu Zimo did not care.

With a single wave of his hand, everything was annihilated within his palm.

With his fingers, he suppressed giant eagles.

With one strike, he erased vast dragons.

With a single step, the entire poison sea split apart.

Ouyang Xiu finally witnessed what a true powerhouse looked like.

The sight of heaven and earth collapsing with every movement was enough to leave him stunned.

In the end, as Xu Zimo advanced unopposed, the two quickly reached the other side of the poison sea.

On this side lay a mausoleum.

It was vast and expansive.

The outer perimeter of the mausoleum was constructed entirely of poison.

The surrounding flowers, grass, and trees were also formed from poisonous liquid.

Without exaggeration, the Poison God was powerful.

His thinking was even somewhat mad.

Because he had tried to use poison to create an entire world.

Although he failed, the mausoleum before Xu Zimo was proof that everything here had been created from poison.

Whether it was the buildings of the mausoleum, the plants lining the paths, the tombstones, or even the soil used for burial, all of it was formed from poison.

Shebishi had devoted nearly his entire life to poison.

That was why, among the Ancient Gods, he was the most special.

Standing before the mausoleum, Xu Zimo knew this was where the inheritance lay.

Of course, he could not be completely certain.

“Are you going in?” Xu Zimo asked.

“If you go inside, I can’t guarantee your safety.”

“Boss, don’t worry. I know my limits,” Ouyang Xiu replied quickly.

“I won’t go in. I’ll wait for you outside. Getting this far was only possible thanks to you. Going any further would just be courting death.”

It was clear that Ouyang Xiu was quite sensible, not a reckless fool.

Or perhaps the Poison God’s inheritance did not tempt him that much.

If he obtained it, that would be great. If not, at least he gained experience.

It wasn’t something worth staking his life on.

Xu Zimo nodded and entered the mausoleum alone.

The place was extremely desolate.

Aside from a single massive burial mound, there was almost nothing else.

Occasionally, a cold wind blew through, making the place feel even more bleak.

In front of the burial mound stood an enormous tombstone.

Its surface was densely engraved with countless characters.

The first half recorded the early life of the Poison God Shebishi, recounting his glory and achievements.

For example, how he learned the art of poison at the age of three, and by thirteen had already gained fame throughout the world through poison.

How he collected all the poisons of this world.

The poisons he researched were even capable of killing other Ancient Gods.

These accounts alone were enough to reveal the Poison God’s terrifying power.

The latter half read, “Today, I am buried here. All the inheritance of my life is left in this place. I have set up formations here. Those who break the formation may obtain the inheritance.”

At this moment, someone beside him read these words aloud.

It was the same group who had constructed the poison bridge. They had now arrived at the mausoleum as well.

Hearing this, someone shouted excitedly, “It’s here. This must be it.”

“This is the Poison God’s true inheritance site.”

“The inheritance of the Poison God. A true Ancient God. If one were to obtain it, one could surely carve out a place in the Upper Heavens.”

“Do you even know who that is? That’s the Poison God. In terms of poison, he could kill you without you ever realizing it.”

The crowd’s excitement was understandable.

After all, the Poison God’s inheritance had appeared many times before, and many people no longer cared.

There were simply too many of them.

No one knew where the true inheritance was.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
