Dashing Student Chapter 1490 1464: The Path of Beasts
Previously on Dashing Student...
Master Liehuang left, as if he didn't really want to compete with Chen Nan for Taiyin, yet Chen Nan's heart was cold.
He knows that these Nascent Soul Realm cultivators are not simple, especially Master Liehuang's last words, which were clearly a threat to him.
Now, these Nascent Soul Realm cultivators are already aware that Chen Nan possesses the Taiyin, and possibly a lot of it, which is obtained through the secret of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
So, indeed, just as Master Liehuang said, they all want to rob Chen Nan of all his Taiyin.
"It seems I need to be more cautious in the future."
Chen Nan took a deep breath, went to the stele not far from the Bronze Gate, and looked at it, which documented the Hungry Ghost Path.
"The punishment corresponding to the Hungry Ghost Path is endless hunger. This feeling can drive people mad, but no matter what they eat, they cannot satisfy this hunger."
"It really is a cruel punishment."
Chen Nan shook his head and also walked into the Bronze Gate. At this moment, he could only continue forward, with no retreat available at all.
Upon entering the next path of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Bronze Gate behind him disappeared, and Chen Nan seemed to have arrived at a void.
Here, there was no sky or earth, only a vast expanse of whiteness.
He felt as if his body turned into a soft feather, drifting forward with the breeze, not knowing where he would eventually end up.
"Strange, why can't I move my body?"
Chen Nan mumbled to himself, finding that he was utterly unable to control his body, and it felt as if he had become a divine soul.
Finally, he saw the destination of this place.
There was a vortex, slowly spinning, and similarly, other cultivators were drifting over, attracted by the vortex.
Below the vortex was a town, bustling with people, seemingly just an ordinary mortal town. It was evening, and wisps of cooking smoke rose above the town.
Yet this ordinary sight made Chen Nan shiver!
This is clearly inside the Moon God Temple Secret Realm. How could there be such an ordinary town, with even living people in it?
Moreover, there is only this one town, with darkness all around, as if caught in a temporal rift.
The town seemed more like an illusion realm!
A cultivator near the vortex was swallowed in an instant, followed by a beam of light emerging from the vortex, shooting into the town, yet the townspeople couldn't see this beam of light.
Within the beam, the cultivator swallowed by the vortex showed a terrified expression, his mouth forming words that indicated he was desperately calling for help.
But, including Chen Nan, none of the others could hear his voice; it was as if the world had been muted.
Soon, that cultivator took the form of a divine soul and was thrown into a pigsty in the town, becoming a large white pig.
"Could this be... the Beast Path?"
Chen Nan knew the names of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, so he could easily guess.
Soon, a second cultivator was thrown into the town, becoming a dog with a rope tied around its neck.
The third cultivator turned into a sparrow on the branch, chirping away.
As if the moment they entered these animal bodies, their consciousness was erased, leaving only instinct.
"Is the Beast Path meant to let people experience what it's like to become an animal?"
Chen Nan instinctively felt this path's test wasn't that simple, but he didn't dare stay.
Because he was getting closer and closer to that vortex.
Then, with a thought, a refreshing sensation instantly swept over him, which was the Power of Taiyin.
The next moment, Chen Nan's body was suddenly dragged backward at high speed.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in a desert, surrounded by many cultivators, their eyes closed, standing still, looking eerie in the night.
Stretching his limbs to ensure everything was okay, Chen Nan understood what had just happened.
"After entering the Beast Path, all the cultivators' divine souls leave their bodies, thrown into the giant vortex, merging to become an animal."
He murmured to himself, looking at the cultivators around him, thinking their divine souls should have entered the vortex.
Looking up, there indeed was a town in the desert, and the vortex was also visible above the town.
Thinking it over, Chen Nan flew directly into the air, quickly landing in the town.
The townspeople seemed unable to see him, going about their business and conversing, as if he and they weren't in the same time-space.
Chen Nan reached out his hand to touch a person, but his palm went right through them.
"Sure enough, everything here isn't real."
He looked up at the enormous vortex, beams of light appearing continuously, each representing a reincarnation.
Reincarnation into beasts!
Time in the town passed swiftly; Chen Nan felt not much time had passed, the desert welcoming daylight, brightening the town's sky.
"Old Ox-head, that pig at your place should be slaughtered."
"Yes, we'll slaughter the pig and eat meat today, everyone come and help."
An old man chuckled, calling a group over to his home, dragging a large white pig out of the pigsty.
Chen Nan watched from behind and immediately recognized that the large white pig was the same cultivator he saw yesterday.
