The Ascension of the Evil Path: Starting from Refining Gu

The ninth Buddha root was vaguely visible, but it was difficult for it to take real root for the time being. However, the Buddha power in Liu Feng's body was becoming more condensed.

The Second Heavenly King was not surprised by this. He had the experience of breaking through the Nine Buddha Roots and knew very well that the Nine Buddha Roots was equivalent to half a Buddha's body. Without the right external objects to supplement it, or if one's ambitions were extraordinary, it would take several months or even decades to break through the realm.

In addition to having sufficient insights, the Nine Buddha Roots need to strengthen the golden body and cultivate it into a white-bone half-Dharma Buddha form, shaped like the skeleton of a dead person.

In addition, the Buddhist Yin God and the Nine Buddha Roots' Buddha Power-Transformed Relics also require a large amount of spiritual objects, and they are required to replenish both the spirituality and the body, and they also require high-quality spiritual medicines.

As they walked, the Second Heavenly King noticed circles of golden ripples appeared under their feet, as if they were stepping on water.

"Why didn't I come here in the first life..." At this time, Liu Feng, who was in a trance, suddenly murmured to himself.

The Second Heavenly King didn't understand what it meant, so he walked six more circles in the winding narrow space. At the end of the road, a little monk stood who looked similar to Liu Feng.

Looking past the little monk, there is a space of a thousand feet in radius ahead.

The space of a thousand feet was golden, the ground was like a pool filled with water, and golden lotuses bloomed on the water.

Surrounded by golden lotuses, there is a strange Buddha statue with five little monks meditating beside it.

The Buddha statue itself lies on its side, about three hundred feet tall, as if made of stone and bones. It has three eyes, a bloated body, and looks a little deformed.

The spiraling stone pillars extend inward, and their ends are connected to the three-eyed Buddha statue.

The little monk nearby let Ke Qianrou and Liu Feng pass, stopped the Second Heavenly King Fa Shi, and said softly: "Master, please stop, you can stay here to comprehend the true meaning of Buddhism."

"Are you Jingchen?" The Second Heavenly King felt that the little monk in front of him looked very familiar.

"I remember that my Buddhist name is indeed Jingchen, but please forgive me. I can't remember many things and can't recognize you, Master." The young monk nodded blankly.

As he spoke, the water in the pond began to stir, and a golden lotus moved to Fashi's feet.

Fashi understood what he meant and sat down on the spot. The lotus petals immediately closed, trapping his body inside.

In front, Ke Qianrou stopped and did not dare to approach the hundred-foot range of the Three-Eyed Buddha statue.

Both Liu Feng regained their senses at this moment, as if waking up from a dream. Their gazes fell on the five little monks in front of the Buddha statue, and finally looked at one of them who seemed unfamiliar.

The little monk who was closest to the Buddha statue sat like a Taoist, with a faint smile on his face. Compared with the other little monks, his facial features were the most different from Liu Feng.

Her every move and subtle changes in expression all give people an indescribable sense of calmness and deterrence, like the Gu Fairy Yunmeng. This woman can make people see that she holds the power of life and death and is a superior person, but compared with the little monk in front of her, she is simply not worth mentioning.

"Are you my first life?" Liu Feng suddenly asked.

As he walked along, all he saw were scenes from his previous life in the Daqian Temple. He saw his own five previous lives, knew the Dharma names of these five lives, and knew that these five lives were all born from the great heaven and earth and practiced cultivation.

The sixth generation Jingchen, the fifth generation tiger demon Jingyu, the fourth generation Juexin, the third generation Fanyue, the second generation Peng demon Jinsheng, but the first generation is nowhere to be seen.

He had never been to Daqian Temple in his first life. If he was not born in the virtual world, then there must be some other hidden reason. The spirits that remained in Daqian Temple were most likely not left by him, but brought by his master.

Three feet in front of the Buddha statue, the little monk shook his head and said with a faint smile: "I am not your first life. It is just the life in which you met Tanye. From then on, you have been reincarnated for generations like all living things in the world, and you are completely unaware of yourself."

Liu Feng understood after hearing this. So, this little monk who seemed to be from a Taoist sect was actually his first life. From now on, even if his true spirit was destroyed, he would reincarnate six times and his life would remain unchanged.

From this we can see that he has the greatest background in this life and has obtained great opportunities that other immortals and Buddhas can hardly imagine.

"Do you know Xuan Du?" Liu Feng asked.

Before he could reveal Xuan Du's appearance, the little monk nodded calmly.

"The result of deduction is that I recognize him, but he is not in my memory. I was originally a Taoist practitioner, but my remaining soul was saved by Tanye. After I reshaped my body, I entered Buddhism and my Dharma name is Fanyin."

"Then do you remember your Taoist name?"

Liu Feng asked subconsciously, but at this moment, the three-eyed Buddha statue lying on the ground moved, and a calm and vicissitudes of life old man's voice sounded.

"His name cannot be asked, and cannot be imagined. If you can reach that point one day, you will know it yourself."

"Master?"

Liu Feng spoke in surprise, he felt that the old man's voice was familiar and very kind to him.

According to Master, he had a very great background in his first life, did great things, and offended such terrifying beings that even today, he cannot be even mentioned.

In his first life, he offended that person. Before his remaining soul was annihilated, Tanye Buddha rescued him and reshaped his body. He then became Buddhist Xiu Fanyin, but unfortunately he still died later.

He suddenly remembered the words of Taoist Xuandu. They were most likely referring to his first life. Before he became a Buddhist, he was a Taoist in his first life. However, he died because he took over someone else's body.

“Buzz…” The three-eyed Buddha statue slowly sat up, causing the thousand-foot space to become distorted and blurred.

"It is precisely this master, who has transformed into an eternal being in the universe and has merged into this innate stone fetus." The old man spoke again.

Liu Feng looked at the stone Buddha statue mixed with bones, then at the stone pillar extending from the Buddha statue, and thought of the stone bodies of the many little monks, and he suddenly understood.

The Shituo clan who guard the Daqian Temple, in addition to reincarnating with the Samsara Stone, also need this innate stone embryo to shape their body. To liberate the Shituo clan, the key lies in the Samsara Stone, not the innate stone embryo which is the source of the body.

“Master, I have been punished by a Buddha and need to be liberated…” As he spoke, a light lit up between his brows and the Buddha lamp moved out of the spiritual sea on its own.

It was the first time that Liu Feng saw this ancient lamp with his naked eyes. It was as long as a palm, and the body of the lamp was covered with tiny cracks. When it appeared, countless faces flashed in the flames of the burning wick.

This lamp appears like an old monk sitting opposite the three-eyed Buddha statue. The two spiritual forces converge and transmit sound to each other.

One is the spirit of the Buddhist treasure left by the Buddha, and the other is the incarnation of the Buddha in this world.

Liu Feng had no idea what was being communicated between the two. He waited for less than two breaths before the Buddha lamp flew into his spiritual sea again, and a soft sigh came from the three-eyed Buddha statue.

"I see! You don't need to worry about liberating the Shituo clan. I will solve it for you. You should concentrate on cultivating the nine Buddha roots now."

"Your Nine Buddha roots need a solid foundation. Now that you have inherited the Dongxu Island, you can also gain some insights here."

The two golden lotuses moved away, and Liu Feng and his demonic body each sat on a golden lotus pod. The Buddha power in the lotus continuously flowed into his body.

The six young monks suddenly stood up together, came close to Liu Feng's body, and sat around him.

The feeling of trance then came over him again, and illusions filled his eyes, as if pulling him back to his previous life.

Before he lost consciousness, he thought that he didn't know how long it would take him to practice, maybe it would take several years or even decades, while Jing Ling, Cao Tianshi and others were still waiting by the Rotten Meat Lake.

With the five supreme elders of Yuanyou Palace present, the possibility of being harmed is not high, but half of Qintian Continent is shrouded in the light of white crystals. If an accident happens over time, Jingling and others may be in trouble.

"Master, can this place withstand the white light outside for a long time? And what is the white crystal that emits the white light?" The three-eyed Buddha statue sat cross-legged in the center of the Thousand Lotuses, and it was Liu Feng's second question that responded first.

"The origin of the white crystal is also untraceable. It is related to the secrets of heaven, earth and all living things. I have some speculations, but I cannot tell you."

“Even if the Samsara Stone is moved away, this place can still withstand the white light for sixty years.”

"Why did this place come into being? Why did evil spirits breed for thousands of miles in Liukong Mountain? Could the flesh and blood Bodhi tree outside the temple be the evil creature? And the bone Bodhi tree is the remains of the Buddhist leader?" Liu Feng asked his guess.

Master Tanye seemed not to want to talk more about this matter with Liu Feng and only gave a brief explanation.

"The evil objects and bones here are one and the same, and they come from the same Buddha."

"Just concentrate on your practice. When you leave Daqian Temple, the karma that Jialuo left for you will dissipate, and the Samsara Stone will be given to you to take away."

The feeling of trance became more and more severe. Liu Feng knew that he was going to the virtual world, and his Nine Buddha Roots must have a solid foundation. So he followed his instructions and put aside all distracting thoughts, immersing himself completely in the extra memories of his past life.

If you have any questions, it will not be too late to ask Master after you have attained the Nine Buddha Roots.

……

In the Liukong Forbidden Land, half a century has passed, and as many as four or five hundred thousand monks have fled here for refuge.

After entering this place for a while, most of the flesh bodies of these four or five hundred thousand monks had been corrupted by evil creatures. Their bones could still survive here, but they were also slowly being consumed by corruption.

However, when they were truly reduced to just bones, their six senses were empty and they no longer cared about life or death. To others, they seemed to have become insane due to the influence of the forbidden area and were just a group of skeletons waiting to die.

The white light that covered half of Qintianzhou not only did not weaken, but became brighter and brighter.

There are two seals in the sky, and the seal of the evil corpse has been destroyed, leaving only a layer of mountains.

There were many more monks coming to the Rotten Meat Lake. It seemed that the rotten flesh in the lake had dried up under the white light from the sky.

At this time, the Yuanyou sacred tree took root next to a stone mountain five hundred feet away from the lake.

The five supreme elders of Yuanyou Palace sat under the tree with calm expressions. They had been sitting there for thirty years without moving even a step.

A few of the older generation were able to remain calm, but the rest were finding it hard to bear.

At least the people left behind by Liu Feng had the help of the Grand Elder of Yuanyou Palace to take care of them, but many of the Gu Masters left behind by Yunmeng died.

The Bai Ze Gu Master lineage is headed by ancestor Bai Ji, but he is only a ninth-generation incarnation Gu Master in the early stage. How can he protect all his clansmen, let alone the human Gu Masters who are mixed in with them?

A group of Gu Masters who served as slaves gathered a hundred feet away from the Yuanyou Divine Tree, daring not to get too close, nor to go too far away.

"Old Cao, the flesh and blood in the lake has dried up a lot, and we can use it as a stepping stone to go deeper. You talk to the people in Yuanyou Palace, and we will go to the center of the lake to look for Liu Feng and the old poisonous woman Yunmeng." Yuan Caihe sent a message to the white-haired boy a hundred feet away.

Under the Yuanyou sacred tree, Cao Tianshi also had a worried look on his face. He hesitated and thought that when he could no longer endure this forbidden land, he would have to seek refuge in the Abyss.

Just when he was in a bad mood, he heard the voice transmission and glanced at the pockmarked face, and couldn't help but laugh strangely.

After several decades, the pockmarked man's face turned black, and his body was covered with tree roots. He looked like a human being, but because of this, he was tougher than other slaves and poison masters.

"Is this the result of practicing the evil teachings of the Nirvana Cult? Judging from the situation, sooner or later, you will become the same as the corpse of the Nirvana Cult monk in the ruins."

He was somewhat surprised, and his eyes swept over the other people who had also been forced to practice the Nirvana Sect's techniques, and fixed his eyes on Xing Ziping, the former supreme elder of the Tuxian Sect.

He had long green hair and looked much younger, almost like a young man, but there was a half-meter-long wooden tumor on his back that was shaped like a heart and kept beating.

Comparing the two, Yuan Caihe obviously seemed to be trying her best to suppress herself, and the Nirvana Sect's skills did not help her strength much, but Xing Ziping was completely different.

It seemed as if Old Xing had accepted this method and cultivated a demonic heart. With his vitality strengthened, he could raise Gu much faster.

Looking at the miserable black-faced pockmarked girl again, Cao Tianshi shook his head. Instead of proposing to the supreme elder of Yuanyou Palace, he walked towards the crazy old Taoist sitting on the top of the mountain.

He flashed to the top of the mountain and saw an old Taoist priest in front of him with his pupils glowing green. He was staring intently towards the center of the Rotten Meat Lake. The fog on the lake surface had faded a lot, and it was unknown how far the old Taoist priest could see.

"Senior, how about we go find Liu Feng?"

Taoist Xuandu turned a deaf ear to Cao Tianshi's words and looked at the circle of Buddhist shrines in the center of the lake. As he looked at them, something seemed to be wrong.

The lights in the Buddhist shrines went out one after another, and hundreds or even thousands of immortals and Buddhas' clones and Buddhist practitioners from all sides who were blocked outside the restriction rushed forward and all rushed to the center of the lake.

Upon seeing this scene, the confused look on the old Taoist's face suddenly disappeared, and his eyes regained clarity. In an instant, a heavy spiritual pressure spread out, which was much stronger than that of an ordinary ninth realm cultivator, and was no worse than that of the Yuanyou Palace's supreme elder who practiced the divine way.

"The balance here is about to be broken, and there may be changes..."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Tianshi's eyes suddenly moved downwards. The black flesh-like ground beneath his feet shook and began to move like a living thing, gathering towards the rotten meat lake.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Tianshi felt that he and others were moving towards the rotten meat lake along the ground.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Loud noises of mountains collapsing could be heard from all directions. Stone mountains as high as thirty feet that were used to suppress evil spirits collapsed.

In the eyes of the surviving monks, the black earth was shrinking rapidly from the outside to the inside. What originally looked like flesh and blood ground became more and more like the flesh and blood of living people in the blink of an eye.

On the other hand, in the areas where the black meat was missing, it was impossible to count whether it was tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. Because the black meat ground had shrunk, many bone frames turned into ashes in an instant.

Those who were not dead followed the black meat and moved towards the center of this forbidden area, which was also the center of the rotten meat lake.

There was a dry part in the lake, but there were still many evil spirits. Suddenly, a large wave of evil spirits rushed out of the lake and frantically devoured the creatures brought by the black meat.

Cao Tianshi turned his head to look over there, and saw jumping evil spirits everywhere, in human form, as well as flying birds and beasts. For the monks to pass by they mostly relied on luck, and those who were unlucky would be eaten alive by the evil spirits.

When most of the black meat poured into the Rotten Meat Lake, the black meat moved from the outside only covered an area of ​​more than a hundred miles along the lake. Combined with the eight hundred miles of Rotten Meat Lake, the forbidden area of ​​Liukong Mountain was reduced to a radius of nine hundred miles.

The black meat on the lakeside, along with the monks from all sides, was pushed to a circle of extinguished Buddhist shrines before they stopped.

This place is less than a hundred miles away from the center, and the obscuring fog has become much thinner. It can be seen from above the Eight Realms that there is a temple in the center.

In front of the temple, the clones of immortals and Buddhas and thousands of Buddhist practitioners gathered. Among those who were eager to fight for the opportunity, 90% of the weaker ones were crushed into blood mist.

One bone, one flesh and blood, the two trees closed together, and the branches that grew rapidly and extended were like candied haws strung together, with corpses from all over the eight realms hanging all over.
