Chapter 78: Witch Clan’s Golden Silkworm Bug, The Prototype of the Immortal Body
Seeing Jiang Feng’s cold expression and silence, Chen Changsheng smiled a bit and didn’t press further on the issue.
After all, even if the Kunlun Sacred Ground was willing to pay such a price, he might not be willing to sell it.
“By the way, Elder Jiang, with such a valuable treasure on offer, do you think anyone will target me?”
In response to Chen Changsheng’s words, Jiang Feng calmed down and said, “During the Heavenly Heroes Conference, no one is allowed to lay hands on the Heavenly Prodigies. Violators will be seen as provoking the Kunlun Sacred Ground.”
“The Kunlun Sacred Ground will fight to the end against this, but conflicts among Heavenly Prodigies are permitted.”
“That’s the best way; with something so valuable on offer, I too fear being targeted by ill-intentioned people.”
“With Elder Jiang’s assurance, I can relax.”
“Also, the stone in the inner courtyard won’t be replaced tomorrow, right? I have my eye on another stone.”
Hearing this, Jiang Feng’s eye twitched.
The Zhuopan Pearl brings forth living beings; although he didn’t know the origin of this item, it must be something extraordinary to be sealed within the Divine Source.
It was certainly painful for Jiang Feng to lose such a valuable object.
Now that Chen Changsheng mentioned he was eyeing another stone, Jiang Feng couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious.
“Hahaha!”
“My young friend is joking. Our Kunlun Stone Workshop is open for business, and we certainly wouldn’t resort to such underhanded means.”
“The situation will remain as it is tomorrow.”
“If the Kunlun Stone Workshop were to change, then let’s meet again tomorrow.”
With that, Chen Changsheng left the Kunlun Stone Workshop with swagger.
As for everyone present, none dared harbor any ill intentions.
With access to substantial treasure, unmatched physical strength, and an unknown background, anyone considering making a move against Chen Changsheng had to think carefully.
Let alone the fact that the “Heavenly Heroes Conference” was currently underway.
……
Eastern Wastes Courtyard.
Chen Changsheng returned to the small courtyard prepared for the Eastern Wastes Heavenly Prodigy Group in the Kunlun Sacred Ground.
After closing the doors and windows tightly, he took out the Divine Source ball he obtained from the Kunlun Stone Workshop.
Looking at the “Big Fat Caterpillar” crawling inside the Divine Source, Chen Changsheng murmured, “I didn’t expect there would really be living Golden Silkworm Bugs in this world.”
“If the Witch Clan in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains had you, they wouldn’t be living so miserably.”
Indeed, the “Big Fat Caterpillar” in the Divine Source was the Bug God of the Witch Clan, the Golden Silkworm Bug!
When Chen Changsheng unexpectedly arrived at the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, he had numerous confrontations with the Thunder Beast Clan.
Having stayed there for such a long time, Chen Changsheng had taken the initiative to learn about the Witch Clan’s bug techniques.
Among them, he understood the most about the Golden Silkworm Bug.
According to the Witch Clan’s ancient texts, the Golden Silkworm Bug is the nemesis of all insects in the world.
Thinking of this, Chen Changsheng took out the broken True Martial Sword and carefully sliced open the Divine Source ball.
“Swipe!”
“Crack!”
In an instant, as the Divine Source ball shattered, the Golden Silkworm Bug leaped directly onto the True Martial Sword.
Afterward, a faint sound reached Chen Changsheng’s ears.
The nearly indestructible True Martial Sword had a tiny chip bitten out of it by the Golden Silkworm Bug.
Seeing this, even Chen Changsheng couldn’t help but be astonished.
It’s important to note that the True Martial Sword was the weapon of the last Left Emperor of the Xuanwu Kingdom.
Aside from having been defeated once in the Ancient Forbidden Ground, Chen Changsheng had never seen anything that could damage the True Martial Sword.
And now, the Golden Silkworm Bug had effortlessly bitten out a notch, demonstrating its power.

The sound of the Golden Silkworm Bug munching echoed in the room, seemingly harmless as it gnawed on the True Martial Sword.
Though Chen Changsheng felt pained, he didn’t act rashly.
According to ancient records, the Golden Silkworm Bug fed on Ancient Fiend Beasts, and with his current physique, he was unlikely to be able to overpower it.
Carefully placing the True Martial Sword on the table, Chen Changsheng hurriedly took out various herbs and tools for engraving formations.
The Golden Silkworm Bug belonged to the Witch Clan, which had, of course, documented methods for taming it.
Before long, an ancient and intricate formation was drawn.
After sprinkling special medicinal powder and activating the formation, Chen Changsheng slowly extended his right hand toward the Golden Silkworm Bug that was devouring.
Seemingly sensing Chen Changsheng’s call, the plump Golden Silkworm Bug lifted its small head to investigate.
“Swipe!”
Before Chen Changsheng could react, the Golden Silkworm Bug had already appeared in his palm.
“Puff!”
Its sharp little mouth bit through Chen Changsheng’s formidable defenses and then burrowed into his palm.
Looking at the “lump” protruding from his arm, the piercing pain made Chen Changsheng’s mouth twitch.
After a prolonged ordeal, the Golden Silkworm Bug finally crawled to the location of Chen Changsheng’s heart.
Without any hesitation, the Golden Silkworm Bug pierced into his heart and began to spit out silken threads in one of the heart chambers.
“Puff!”
With his heart injured, Chen Changsheng spat out a mouthful of bl**d.
The excruciating pain caused cold sweat to bead on his forehead, but he still gritted his teeth to endure.
Raising a bug with one’s own body indeed carries immense risks, but the rewards are similarly remarkable.
Uncertain how long had passed, the Golden Silkworm Bug finally emerged from Chen Changsheng’s chest.
The flesh and bl**d that the Golden Silkworm Bug pierced through quickly healed at a remarkable speed.
At that moment, Chen Changsheng felt a connection as if he shared a bloodline with the Golden Silkworm Bug.
“Hungry!”
The desires of the Golden Silkworm Bug were clearly transmitted into Chen Changsheng’s mind.
Looking at the somewhat exhausted Golden Silkworm Bug, Chen Changsheng directly took out a fist-sized Thunder Fruit and placed it before the Golden Silkworm Bug.
“Crack!”
The Golden Silkworm Bug wasted no time and began devouring the Thunder Fruit, quickly burrowing inside it.
Calming the hungry Golden Silkworm Bug, Chen Changsheng finally had time to observe the changes inside his body.
In his vitality that felt like lead and mercury, there were new golden silk threads spreading from the heart throughout the bloodstream to the entire body.
Golden Silkworm Threads, a divine weapon that is difficult to harm, are also the supreme healing elixir.
Thinking this, Chen Changsheng picked up the nearby True Martial Sword and made a small cut on his fingertip.
Before much bl**d could drip, a faint golden thread emerged at the wound.
It stitched up the cut rapidly, and as soon as the wound was closed, the scar visibly healed at an astonishing rate.
Confirming that the Golden Silkworm Bug was indeed as miraculous as described in the ancient texts, Chen Changsheng couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Now, my survival trump card has increased again.”
“Once the golden threads cover my body, even if my head is severed, I may not d*e.”
“The Eight-Nine Profound Art and a wealth of attribute points have already made my physique exceptionally strong, and now, with this healing capability.”
“In this situation, it would be hard even to d*e!”
Feeling a bit smug, Chen Changsheng looked at the system panel.
Now, the cultivation system was incredibly complex; even someone as knowledgeable as Chen Changsheng could not gauge his strength based on his realm.
Fortunately, Chen Changsheng had the system, which still offered a certain reference regarding various attribute points.
