Long Life… has been a hot topic since ancient tis.
Even for Magnate-level experts or even The Kings, while their lives are long, they still have an upper limit.
The Supre One is nearly infinite, but can still be buried by ti.
Only a Taboo Existence is eternally undying!
Even if buried, a single thought connected to their information can beco a dium for their return.
However, compared to the magic-less world of his Previous Life, this world has many thods for extending life, such as Longevity Potions, Undead Transformation, Refining Oneself into a Secret Treasure…
Most have harsh conditions. The one with the lowest threshold is Aberration via an Evil God.
Even a Mortal can perform a ritual to obtain Long Life or even Eternal Life.
But the Side Effect is that one's Reason is gradually eroded, until they beco neither human nor ghost.
By then, their Self-awareness might no longer exist, making it no different from being dead.
Therefore, Longevity Items without side effects are all the more precious.
Every such production chain is a path to imnse wealth.
If Lu Yu could control the production of longevity treasures, he could trade with so Old Undying whose lives are nearing their end, in exchange for a large amount of top-tier Material.
Of course, the prerequisite is having enough strength to protect it.
'Spider Silk corroding the world, the Matriarch's Nest processing longevity items… Isn't this a perfect Little Evil God Factory? To change things up, even if I don't sell them, I can use them myself, live for another ten or twenty thousand years, create a Beast Taming World version of a Dark Forbidden Zone, or even beco a Black Hand whose shadow covers All the Heavens and Myriad Worlds…'
Lu Yu complained internally, but the profit was indeed huge.
If he could really upgrade the Void Matriarch's Nest to that level, all the profits from the Peach Pig Project combined wouldn't even compare to a fraction of it.
'Looks like I still need to collect more Matriarch's Nests from powerful Beast King System pet beasts… When I have ti later, I can go back and visit the Red Fire Ant Queen, get so local specialty products.
Besides that, I can also go to the Frenzied Plateau to collect Life-type Material…'
Lu Yu thought to himself while having the Void Matriarch's Nest operate at full capacity, processing the nearly overflowing Life Bubbles, finally concentrating them into three pieces of Life Honey.
Its appearance resembled a square piece of chocolate, with an erald color.
Crack.
Lu Yu bit off a small corner.
It tasted like highly concentrated honey, cloyingly sweet, but in the next mont, a vast amount of Life Energy exploded, filling his entire body, making him feel as if he had boundless energy.
This feeling… it seems it would be more valuable if used to make certain little pills!
After all, a man's money is spent where it counts.
As for the 【Withered Insect Spirit Wood】, Lu Yu threw it into the Matriarch's Nest for the Blood-Corroding Insects and Flicker Spiders to live in, accelerating their growth.
Especially the Blood-Corroding Insects.
Capable of devouring all Vitality, they once created a Demonic Tide that swept across an entire world. Their potential was limitless.
Lu Yu didn't leave the Secret Chamber in a hurry, but instead looked at Little Spider:
"Project the image."
The Curse Raven and Flicker Spider he had sent to tail the Convent of Joy now had results.
"Ying!"
Little Spider nodded, waved her hand, and Spider Silk interwove to form a Screen, which began to display an image.
It was a high-altitude view from the flying Curse Raven, soaring over nurous buildings, following behind the Convent of Joy.
Just as it was about to exceed its maximum range, it watched them take the Tiger-headed Beastman into a large, classical Manor.
Small bridges over flowing water, paved with bluestone.
A forest of green bamboo, a gentle breeze rustling the leaves, like a symphony of spring.
The Curse Raven casually landed on a roof tile.
Since there were many birds in Joy Street, it didn't stand out.
"Co on… ruin …"
The Tiger-headed Beastman seed to understand his fate, lying down in resignation, while the Children of Joy from the Convent of Joy let out silver-bell-like laughter, inserting coins one by one into the Tiger-shaped Kiddie Ride.
Their movents were gentle, with a hint of tenderness, their laughter echoing.
Besides him, there were many other people, Beastn, and so on who had tried to Dine and Dash, all with terrified expressions on their faces.
It was like a Feast of Joy.
Seeing this, Lu Yu quickly reached out his hands, covering the eyes of Little Spider and Little Mouse.
"Ying?"
Little Spider tilted its head, a little puzzled by its Master's actions. It didn't rely on its eyes to see things, but perceived everything with its Mind's Eye.
But since her Master didn't want her to see, she would pretend not to.
(╰╯)!
"Am I the type to be corrupted by sothing this minor?"
As for Little Mouse, it was furious, feeling insulted by the Cultivator.
Such a small thing, who was he looking down on? The things it secretly watched online weren't simple either.
So it secretly raised one of its Thousand-Faced Tentacles.
Its tail wriggled and transford into the head of a Little Little Mouse, and began to broadcast the image inside its brain.
"Oh! Heavens, what is this…"
Little Mouse exclaid internally, suddenly feeling that its experience was indeed too limited.
As soone who was Eager to Learn and Seek Juice like the Cultivator, it beca engrossed without realizing, not noticing that the color of its fur had deepened slightly.
"Tsk tsk tsk… even more impressive than the teachers from my Previous Life.
Even Dongxuanzi's 108 styles aren't this intense. Truly an Order based on desire, they don't seem any worse than a Succubus.
No, the Succubi of this world are all embarrassing. Who could possibly clear a hundred floors of this? Still, this tiger could be cut into a nice specin…"
Lu Yu didn't notice the two little ones, marveling inwardly as well.
But the Tiger-headed Beastman, perhaps having entered Sage Mode, was like a Corpse, Devoid of the Will to Live even when facing a group of beauties.
Just when Lu Yu thought he was about to watch a half-day-long action movie, a Mutation suddenly occurred.
Hum!
An invisible Pink Mist spread out, containing a chaotic Will that startled countless birds. However, it had no effect on a Curse Arts lifeform like the Curse Raven, which took the opportunity to enter an invisible state using its Spirit Threads.
Just when Lu Yu thought so kind of Ritual was about to begin, within that dreamlike mist, the White Cloth Strips covering their faces fell off, floating in the air and revealing their true appearance.
Beneath the white cloth was a bizarre face with six bulging eyes that shone with a scarlet light.
On both sides of its cheeks were nurous writhing tentacles, and at the tips of these tentacles were tiny Mouthparts.
It also had a mouth, but it was small and circular, and from it erged a long, thin Tongue covered in barbs.
Like a viper flicking its tongue, it extended out and coiled around the Tiger-headed Beastman.
As it licked, it tore through a large amount of Flesh and Blood.
At the sa ti, the pleasure continued, causing him to show an expression of both Pain and joy, but more than that was…
Despair!
"This is…"
Lu Yu's pupils quivered slightly, finding it hard to believe.
"A ghost!"
Little Mouse cried out in alarm and shrank its head back.
Its first fear was the dark, and its second was ghost-like things.
"Ying?"
Little Spider at the side was a bit confused, but her Master didn't let her see, so she didn't look, leaving her feeling anxious.
In the image, these Children of Joy, who had revealed their true forms in the Pink Mist, began to extend their tongues, gently asuring these lives until they stopped at their eyes, and then…
Like a mosquito using its mouthparts to suck blood, they forcibly drilled in.
And they even made sucking sounds!
Even Lu Yu's scalp tingled watching this.
The people in the image, however, felt nothing. They didn't wail or struggle, rely revealing expressions of pleasure as their bodies shriveled at a visible rate.
The Pink Mist, however, began to expand, extracting so substance from these lifeforms to fill itself, as if it were feeding sothing.
Just when Lu Yu thought they were about to be eaten, the Children of Joy stopped their actions.
They gently caressed these lives and, in turn, injected so Dark Green Liquid, refilling them and restoring their plump forms.
But their Spiritual Will remained dazed and chaotic, as if sothing had been extracted from them.
This scene gave Lu Yu the imdiate impression of…
Rearing!
Just like humans raising chickens and ducks, most of the ti they choose to collect the eggs laid each day rather than killing them directly.
These Children of Joy were also Rearing this batch of lives, continuously extracting so kind of spiritual or soul-like substance.
Moreover, this seed to be just one of the Convent of Joy's strongholds. There were many strongholds on one street, and there were a full eighteen Joy Streets in total, spread across the entire world.
And legend has it they are connected to the King of Bliss, making it hard not to make a connection.
Could this be…
Farming the Myriad Races? Herding the World?
Lu Yu couldn't figure it out.
Although the Eye of Truth could be used through Electronic Devices, it had limitations requiring proximity and real-ti viewing.
Therefore, he didn't continue Courting Death by digging deeper.
After all, Joy Street was a place that even Moonlight Rank, and even Magnate-level powerhouses, had to be wary of. It wasn't sothing a small character like him could touch.
Besides, the other party was also abiding by the rules. According to the code of Joy Street, those who broke the rules could be killed directly, but they only extracted so kind of Spiritual Will, Rearing them.
Although it was twisted and evil, as long as they didn't target ordinary humans, Lu Yu would watch on with a cold eye.
They were all adults.
If they did sothing wrong, they had to pay the Price.
As for reporting them… Heh heh…
Anonymous reports would definitely be useless.
A real-na report… Lu Yu was afraid that the mont he reported it, the phone would ring in Joy Street.
After all, the King of Bliss represented the Supre Council, one of the highest Authorities of the Human Race.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu no longer had any intention of staying in Joy Street. He would leave imdiately after the Mutual Aid Trade et was over.
So he had the Curse Raven conceal its aura, preparing to leave quietly after the Children of Joy were finished.
The Children of Joy in the image began to dance with joy.
Within the Pink Mist, countless butterflies gathered, faintly forming a Gateway Carved from Tree Branches, giving off an illusory feeling.
It wasn't a Dreamscape, but more like a Mysterious Domain constructed from ntal energy, within which so figure was approaching.
Just as Lu Yu was about to continue watching, the Children of Joy suddenly paused. Their scarlet eyes abruptly turned towards his direction, or rather, the Curse Raven's position.
An alluring voice sounded from beside the Curse Raven:
"To think a Little Fellow is peeking!"
The leading Child of Joy had already arrived beside it. She was the one who could truly be called a Saintess of Bliss.
I've been discovered!
Lu Yu was startled. He hadn't expected these beings to have such keen senses.
However, he wasn't afraid. Instead, he beca even calr and decisively had Little Spider make the Curse Raven Self-destruct.
Boom!
The invisible threads of Spirituality exploded, and powerful Spiritual Energy swept in all directions, catching the Child of Joy who was about to grab the Curse Raven off guard. Her arm was blown off, and a large number of roof tiles were shattered along with it.
Although the accompanying curse targeting Flesh and Blood exploded instantly, it had no effect on the Saintess of Bliss.
Because its Essence was not a body of Flesh and Blood!
Hiss! Hiss!
The tentacles on its severed arm wriggled and intertwined as it muttered:
"Do you think you can escape…"
The tentacles on its face wriggled and interwove, forming a strange and inexplicable Desire Formation Pattern, preparing to use the power of Joy Street to find the person behind the scenes.
However, the result was…
A complete blank!
As if they never existed.
Not even a Magnate-level expert could hide from the power of the Main Joy Street…
Could it be that so Important Figure has secretly infiltrated?
A trace of shock also appeared on the Saintess of Bliss's twisted face.
In the Secret Chamber,
"It's about ti to leave."
Lu Yu thought to himself.
Although he had the Legendary-tier skill 【Fate's Protection】, which could block all spying from beings below The Kings.
It was still better to be careful!
So he had Little Spider recall the expensively made Flicker Spider.
This Slave Beast hadn't followed the Curse Raven deep into the Manor, but had instead wandered around the periters of several other smaller Children of Joy encampnts.
Swoosh!
The Flicker Spider jumped back from the Void.
Just as he was about to wave his hand and recall it to the Matriarch's Nest, it was suspended in mid-air by Little Spider.
Rustle!
A puff of Pink Mist emanated from the Flicker Spider's body, from which a figure condensed, letting out a sharp laugh.
"Kekekeke… Caught a rat!"
It was actually a Child of Joy!
Lu Yu was startled, thinking he'd been proven wrong and his Legendary-tier skill had failed.
But he quickly realized that this Child of Joy before him was different from the ones in the largest Manor from the earlier footage.
It only had five eyes, and far fewer tentacles on its face.
It must be from a different batch of Children of Joy.
It was most likely marked when the Flicker Spider was exploring other areas.
"Kekeke… Your concealnt ability is not bad, but it's a pity the auras of the various Convent encampnts are completely different.
Getting close will taint you with the aura, marking you directly. After continuous exploration, the scent becos even more obvious, perfect for tracking you.
And then I'll be the one to catch you all in one fell swoop…"
The Child of Joy looked around and let out a low laugh, but before it could finish, it was interrupted by Lu Yu:
"You an, you're the only one who ca?"
"So what if I am? In Joy Street, I alone am enough. A re Silver Beast Tar, do you think you can overturn the heavens…"
The Child of Joy laughed, sizing up Lu Yu, and said with satisfaction:
"You're quite handso.
Let take you to experience infinite joy and despair, hahahaha…"
However, this confident laughter didn't last long. It grew stiff, and finally stopped.
Because it saw, from behind Lu Yu, the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant with burning Blood-colored Ribbons walk out. A violent Overwhelming Pressure surged like a Tsunami.
At the sa ti, the Rootlets of the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree, imprinted with the patterns of the Yellow Springs, spread out, sealing off any escaping aura.
"Ying!"
Little Spider took a Void Walk, the Nightmare Dream Prison behind it corroding reality.
The entire Secret Chamber suddenly changed. The original chamber transford into a twisted void, in which a large number of spider webs burning with black flas appeared, enveloping everything, as if one had fallen into the Lair of a Chaos Demon Spider.
Each one possessed the power to crush it!
And Lu Yu, flanked by two powerful Demonic Beasts, his aura fully unleashed, looked at the Child of Joy and asked:
"What did you just say? Louder!"
PS: Since people keep asking about the Ranks, I'll write them out. A Pet Beast's Servant, Elite, Commander, Overlord, and Monarch Ranks correspond to a Beast Tar's Red Copper, Silver, Gold, Morning Star, and Luminous Moon Ranks.
