Sleeping to Immortality: Getting Stronger One Nap at a Time!-Chapter 78 – Witch Clan Golden Silkworm Gu, the prototype of an immortal body

Seeing Jiang Feng's cold expression and silence, Chen Changsheng smiled and didn't press further on the matter.
After all, even if the Kunlun Sacred Ground was willing to pay such a price, he might not be willing to sell.

"By the way, Elder Jiang, since I've unearthed such a treasure, will I be targeted?"
Facing Chen Changsheng's question, Jiang Feng calmed himself and replied.
"During the Hero's Gathering, no one is allowed to attack the heroes, and violators will be seen as provoking the Kunlun Sacred Ground."
"The Kunlun Sacred Ground will fight them to the death, but conflicts among the heroes are permitted."
"That's for the best. After finding such a good item, I was worried about being targeted by evildoers."
"With Elder Jiang's assurance, I can rest easy."
"Also, the stones in the inner courtyard won't be replaced tomorrow, right? I've got my eye on another one."
Hearing this, Jiang Feng's eye twitched.
The "Rolling Pearl" revealed a living creature, and although its origins were unknown, anything sealed within a divine source was certainly extraordinary.
Having such a treasure taken away, Jiang Feng couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
And now, hearing that Chen Changsheng had his eye on another stone, Jiang Feng couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.
"Hahaha!"
"Young Friend, you jest. Our Kunlun Stone House conducts business with integrity and would never resort to such petty tricks."
"What it is today, it will be tomorrow."
"Kunlun Stone House is indeed fair. Then, we'll meet again tomorrow."
With that, Chen Changsheng swaggered out of the Kunlun Stone House.
However, none of the onlookers dared to harbor any ill intentions.
With the ability to casually produce priceless celestial gold, physical strength surpassing that of the Saintess of the Zifu, and origins unknown, anyone thinking of targeting Chen Changsheng would have to think twice.
Not to mention, the "Hero's Gathering" was currently underway.
...
Eastern Wasteland Courtyard.
Chen Changsheng returned to the Kunlun Sacred Ground, to the small courtyard prepared specifically for the Eastern Wasteland heroes.
After securing the doors and windows, Chen Changsheng took out the divine source orb from the Kunlun Stone House.
Watching the "big fat silkworm" crawling inside the divine source, Chen Changsheng murmured, "I didn't expect there to be living Golden Silkworm Gu in this world."
"If the witch tribe of the Ten Thousand Mountains had you, they wouldn't be in such dire straits."
Indeed, the "big fat silkworm" in the divine source was the Gu God of the witch tribe, the Golden Silkworm Gu!
Years ago, Chen Changsheng accidentally arrived at the Ten Thousand Mountains and later had various conflicts with the Thunder Beast clan.
Having stayed there for so long, it was natural for Chen Changsheng to thoroughly understand the witch tribe's Gu insect practices.
Among them, he was most knowledgeable about the witch tribe's Golden Silkworm Gu.
According to the witch tribe's records, the Golden Silkworm Gu is the nemesis of all insects.
With this in mind, Chen Changsheng took out the broken True Martial Sword and gently sliced open the divine source orb.
"Swish!"
"Crack!"
As soon as the divine source orb was broken, the Golden Silkworm Gu pounced directly onto the True Martial Sword.
Then, a faint sound reached Chen Changsheng's ears.
The nearly indestructible True Martial Sword had a tiny rice-sized notch bitten out by the Golden Silkworm Gu.
Seeing this, even Chen Changsheng couldn't help but be amazed.
The True Martial Sword was the weapon of the previous Left Emperor of the Xuanwu Nation.
Aside from a single failure in the Ancient Forbidden Zone, Chen Changsheng had never seen anything capable of damaging the True Martial Sword over the years.
Now, the Golden Silkworm Gu had effortlessly gnawed a notch into it, showcasing its formidable power.
The sound of gnawing echoed in the room as the seemingly harmless Golden Silkworm Gu devoured the True Martial Sword.
Though Chen Changsheng felt a pang of heartache, he didn't act rashly.
According to ancient records, the Golden Silkworm Gu was fed with ancient fierce beasts, and his small frame might not be able to contend with it.
Carefully placing the True Martial Sword on the table, Chen Changsheng quickly took out various herbs and tools for drawing formations.
The Golden Silkworm Gu was a witch tribe item, and the witch tribe naturally recorded methods to subdue it.
Soon, an ancient and complex formation was drawn.
Sprinkling special medicinal powder and activating the formation, Chen Changsheng slowly extended his right hand toward the feeding Golden Silkworm Gu.
Seemingly sensing Chen Changsheng's summons, the plump Golden Silkworm Gu lifted its small head to sense.
"Swish!"
Before Chen Changsheng could react, the Golden Silkworm Gu appeared in his palm.
"Pop!"
Its sharp little mouth pierced through Chen Changsheng's strong defense and burrowed into his palm.
Watching the bulge on his arm, the piercing pain made Chen Changsheng's mouth twitch.
After a long ordeal, the Golden Silkworm Gu finally crawled to Chen Changsheng's heart.
Without hesitation, it pierced through Chen Changsheng's heart chamber and began spinning silk in one of the ventricles.
"Pop!"
With his heart damaged, Chen Changsheng spat out a mouthful of blood.
The excruciating pain left Chen Changsheng's forehead drenched in cold sweat, yet he gritted his teeth and persevered.
Raising a Gu with one's body was indeed extremely risky, but the benefits were unimaginable.
After an unknown period, the Golden Silkworm Gu finally emerged from Chen Changsheng's chest.
The flesh and blood torn by the Golden Silkworm Gu healed at an astonishing speed.
At this moment, Chen Changsheng felt a bloodline connection with the Golden Silkworm Gu.
"Hungry!"
The thought of the Golden Silkworm Gu clearly transmitted to Chen Changsheng's mind.
Seeing the somewhat exhausted Golden Silkworm Gu, Chen Changsheng immediately took out a fist-sized Thunder Core and placed it in front of the Golden Silkworm Gu.
"Crunch!"
The Golden Silkworm Gu didn't hesitate, immediately gnawing on the Thunder Core and soon burrowing inside it.
After appeasing the hungry Golden Silkworm Gu, Chen Changsheng finally had time to observe the changes within his body.
Amidst the lead-like and mercury-like blood and qi, there were now some golden threads, which spread from the heart and flowed throughout the body with the blood.
Golden Silkworm Silk, impervious to divine weapons, and a supreme healing elixir.
With this in mind, Chen Changsheng picked up the True Martial Sword and made a cut on his finger.
Before much blood could drip, a faint golden thread reached the wound.
The golden thread quickly stitched the wound, and once closed, the scar disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Confirming that the Golden Silkworm Gu was as miraculous as the ancient records described, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"Now I've got another trump card for survival."
"Once the Golden Silkworm Silk covers my entire body, even if my head is severed, I might not die."
"The Eight-Nine Mystical Art and numerous attribute points have already made my body exceptionally strong, and now with the added repair function."
"In such a situation, dying would be difficult!"
Feeling a bit smug, Chen Changsheng looked at the system panel.
The current cultivation system was exceedingly complex, and even someone as knowledgeable as Chen Changsheng couldn't gauge his strength based on realms alone.
Fortunately, Chen Changsheng had the system, and the various attribute points still provided some reference.
