Elder Amourworm#

In the celestial garden, rare seeds grow, By the Purifying Spring, with an immortal glow. Transformed in the lower realm, forms unique, Such path to Dao, refined and sleek.

In ancient times, someone cast two celestial eggs from Mount Kunlun into a blessed land on Earth. However, the Will of the mortal realm was not as abundant as that of the celestial realm. As a result, the celestial eggs failed to fully nurture and lost many of their wondrous abilities, taking on vastly different forms. One of these celestial eggs was used to redeem the guilty, while the other was hidden away by someone with ulterior motives. From this hidden egg, various creatures emerged, and it came to be known as the Elder Amourworm.

Every few days, the Elder Amourworm would produce insect eggs that resembled blood sacs. If these eggs were ingested by a living being, the larvae would devour their internal organs. Depending on the innate differences of the larvae, the host would undergo a transformation, turning into one of many types of insects.

If the eggs of the Elder Amourworm were not ingested, they would naturally hatch into an ordinary Amourworm. These ordinary Amourworm would spin silk to create cocoons, which they used to trap their prey. The cocoons contained potent toxins that caused the trapped creatures to experience a sensation of flying in the wind, as if floating on clouds, instead of feeling suffocated. However, prolonged exposure to these toxins led to abnormal changes in their bodies over time. Some practitioners attempted to use this method to temper their bodies and enhance their powers. However, it was ultimately considered a deviant practice that easily led to a loss of sanity.

Since the celestial egg entered the mortal world, many have fallen victim to its poison. The Amourworm, despite its terrifying appearance, is not adept at combat. Aside from spewing filth from its mouth, it possesses no remarkable abilities. However, its continued existence and proliferation in the world suggest that it must provide some unknown benefits to certain in dividuals.
