Chapter 622: Scared Monk


"So, from what you explained, demonic spirits are not able to become corrupted? Is it then possible for a righteous spirit to purify an evil spirit in some way?" Ling Xiao had never known much about spirits and after finally hearing Luoluo's explanation about their ways of existing, he could not help but ask many questions.


Even so, Luoluo was not impatient and answered slowly. "The demonic spirits and the corrupted spirits are different. The demonic spirits are perfectly well aware of their actions. They are ruthless and murderous in nature, and their entire core has been evil from creation.


"The corrupted spirits have a pure core, but they have become corrupted. The best way to explain it is that if you have two pieces of paper side by side. One piece is white with no blemishes while the other is black. Now imagine dropping ink onto these two pages.


"The white page, which resembles the righteous spirits, will be tainted by the ink right away. It will slowly but surely take over all the white paper it touches, and it is more or less impossible to remove as soon as it has been stained.


"The black page, on the other hand, is already black. The corruption can do nothing but be swallowed up by the darkness already existing within the demonic spirits' cores already.


"About the purifying of demonic spirits, it is not possible. These demonic spirits are not corrupted so there is nothing to purify. They are as they were created, and the demonic spirits are much more eager to consume the righteous spirits and use their energy to enhance themselves instead.


"The righteous spirits can, in the same way, consume the evil spirits, but due to their dark cores, most righteous spirits will feel absolutely disgusted by the heavy sin and murder connected to these cores that they never wish to do so."


Luoluo explained with many details, so even Ling Xiao understood the differences between the three types of spirits. Even so, he was even more conflicted.


This peony spirit was able to stay alive and sane due to the corruption that it had been gaining ever since its creation. From the very start of it forming its core, the corruption had been a part of itself, and thus it had never made it lose its mind, as the great shock had been missing.


Even so, its view of the world was messed up and twisted. The peony flower clearly was as evil as the demonic spirits, but due to the righteous core, it had become even more outrageous, as it genuinely considered every action it made for the better. No matter how messed up the world became, it would never be the fault of this peony. Such delusions were much more horrifying than those spirits that were murderous by nature.


The group continued forward. Their conversation had lasted a long time, and their advance had been without any troubles so far, but no matter how far they walked, it seemed that there was no end in sight.


The sickening smell that was sweet but nauseous was also getting more and more prominent, and the entire group was feeling queasy by now.


"Do you think we are within an illusion of some kind? Tianyi mentioned that they are specialized in tempting others, so I assume that their proficiency in the arts of illusions have to be quite outstanding." Hei Gou had been quiet for a long time, but he finally spoke out.


He looked around their surroundings and found that the area looked very similar to their previous position and feared that there might be something wrong with the visual impression in front of them.


"This should not be an illusion." Bai Tianyi looked around. As a spirit, he should have some sensitivity towards illusions, and right now, he did not feel anything special from this area. Even so, he also felt that things were a little out of control.


On the surface, everything seemed peaceful, yet uncomfortable, but something had to be happening for them to have walked for so long without any success in leaving.


"I think that we are getting closer to the germination grounds. The stench is sickeningly sweet and overwhelmingly uncomfortable. It can only mean that the original stench in the air needs even more of these disgusting perfumes to cover up the rotting scent."


"Germination grounds?" Ling Xiao could not help but gulp in discomfort. He was not a timid person, but he did not enjoy watching the gory and disgusting sights of ripped apart corpses, so he was already starting to feel even more uncomfortable while imagining what they might encounter next.


"Let us move forward. Even if we do encounter the place where these flowers grow, we should not be afraid. The information we found stated that these seeds need to grow from corpses. Corpses are already dead and can not prove to be dangerous to us.


"At the same time, the flowers are also still very young, and since not even these fully grown versions are able to threaten us, then we should be fine, even if facing the sprouts." Xue Wei's voice was cold as always, but he did try his best to assure Ling Xiao about the lack of fear he had for what they were about to face.


Unfortunately, his words reminded the silly monk that the plants around them had sprouted from within a corpse, and a chill ran down his spine.


"This place is wicked! I would much rather fight against some sort of unreasonable beast than these disturbing flowers that are trying to tempt us into committing sins!"
