The Ascension of the Evil Path: Starting from Refining Gu

Away from the Edelweiss, heading north.

More than ten figures fled, one breath covering a hundred miles, a hundred breaths covering ten thousand miles... In half a minute, a distance of a hundred thousand miles was crossed.

The scene flew by, and under such a fast escape technique, everything in front of the eyes seemed like a dream bubble, becoming illusory and unclear.

The group of people led forward by the gray-haired figure, no matter they were in the seventh, eighth, or ninth realm, were all shaken in their hearts and unable to calm down.

"Tree Stump" was the weakest one among them. With his seventh body perfected, he was considered to be quite powerful. However, he was hit by the air wave and rolled his eyes, almost fainting, under this escape technique that was not meant for the great world.

When the scene in front of them stabilized, more than ten people appeared in the deep mountains and forests not known how far away, with a deep cave in front of them.

The moonlight cast into the cave entrance, and dozens of figures could be vaguely seen standing inside the cave, all with the aura of the eighth realm.

"Meet my Lord."

When the forty-six people in the eighth realm saw the gray-haired figure coming, their breath stagnated and they bowed their heads to greet him.

They sensed an unprecedentedly powerful existence that seemed to be crushing the entire space.

This extremely abnormal and terrifying aura does not seem like that of the Ninth Realm at all. Instead, according to legend, when one reaches the ninth realm and becomes an immortal, and is rejected by the universe, this kind of abnormality will occur.

"Please take out the spiritual objects and medicines that I want." After giving a faint order, the gray-haired young man entered the cave.

Following closely behind were two clones, and slightly behind them were ten people above the ninth realm.

"How powerful is that beast Liu right now... Where is justice! I am half demon, half evil spirit, but he is even more powerful than Yunmeng's clone."

The "tree stump" was Yuan Caihe, wailing in her heart. The beast in front of her that was collecting a large number of spiritual objects was Liu Feng, who had just been reborn from his ninth life.

In addition to Liu Feng's original body and clone, among the ten people who are above the ninth realm, the first one is Fashi's original body, who can reach the realm of true Buddha at any time.

As for the other nine, Qu Yu and Xue are two Blood Shuras in the late ninth realm, Yan An, Yan Bei and Tu Qingyan are in the early ninth realm, Yuan Ming, Yu Fushan and Yu Ying are siblings who have just entered the ninth realm, and the last one is the disabled half-immortal who was released recently, Gu Master Yu Xia.

In the past, in the ruined city of Yuanyou, she captured two semi-immortals alive, killed one, and returned the remaining one to her in a physical body, so that he would no longer pose a threat if he was released.

Liu Feng entered the cave, took over forty refining materials and elixirs collected by the Eight Realms, and sat down on a stone platform deep in the cave.

A half-meter-wide entrance to the inner world opened beside him. Looking inside through the entrance, the starlight was dim and countless poisonous insects were flying in and out of it.

There were only a dozen people in the cave who dared to look up at this inner world. When they saw that this inner world was eight hundred miles wide, the pupils in their eyes kept shrinking.

It turns out that not only is his strength not that of a Ninth Realm master, his inner world is also not that great. The inner world of the Wangxue family's Ninth Realm master ancestor would not be this big!

The only half-immortal Yu Xia was present. Her inner world reached eight hundred miles, but it was far less stable than Liu Feng's.

At this time, the disabled half-immortal stood aside with a sad face and his thin body, not saying a word.

She had the luck to escape to the big world, but now she was being taken to the virtual world again. The only value of this was that she had been on the run for many years and had some understanding of the local features of the virtual world, so she could point the way there.

Cao Tianshi, who came with Yuan Caihe, stepped forward carefully and said in a voice transmission: "Liu Feng, this woman said she knew the whereabouts of a treasure. I think she wants to trade this information to go to the virtual world with you."

"I'll ask her about this in a few days."

Liu Feng closed his eyes slightly, and his spiritual power extended into the world inside the Gu Dao, rolling up the mountains of insect shells, all of which were left after the Gu swarm shed their shells time and time again, or devoured each other.

"Boom boom..." The Buddha's fire surged.

The same mountains of refining materials were refined together with the insect shells by the Buddha's fire. Before long, the outlines of temples appeared.

In addition to Jingchen's experience in refining weapons, he also had some weapon-making techniques from his memories of previous lives, which he did not need to practice, because what he refined could not be considered advanced magic weapons, they just needed to be strong enough to accommodate an inner space.

"Squeak, squeak..."

Pieces of the Yellow Springs Sacred Tree squeezed out of the body's surface, expanding rapidly as they stretched, and penetrating into the prototypes of a thousand temples.

The temple and inner space are considered as extras. They are useful to inheritors below the eighth realm before the cultivators open up the inner world. The real key things are the altar and skills in the temple.

The altar, in particular, was related to the time when he would send down his divine consciousness and collect sacrifices across boundaries in the future.

While he was refining the Insect Temple, the cave was silent. No one spoke, and everyone waited quietly.

For every insect temple to be refined, an inner space must be opened up. This is not only for refining treasures, but also for Liu Feng to familiarize himself with the Erosion Gu technique behind the Ninth Life.

In addition, after the other seven strange poisons reached the ninth level, various poison techniques would occasionally appear in the inner world.

After Jiushi, he had a strange Gu in his body. With his body in peak condition, he could also implant the ninth strange Gu. He also had many strange Gu eggs to choose from, but there was no rush. There would be more strange Gu to choose from in the virtual world.

In a blink of an eye, six days passed.

When a thousand insect temples were completed, they were shaped like insect shells half the size of a finger, with wood grain hidden on them. They had the aura of both Buddha's power and that of poisonous insects. In addition to the two auras, there was also the yin energy emitted by the Yellow Springs Divine Tree.

Because the Yellow Springs sacred tree takes root in the temple, the inheritor of the Insect Temple can not only obtain the skills but also control evil spirits. The Yellow Springs Sutra integrates the method of attracting gods in the Lotus Sutra in order to bring people's primordial spirits and Yin spirits into the temple.

Similar to the Cangtuo Temple, there are tests in the temple as well. The difference is that the skills will not be broken up. Instead, as the realm of the inheritor improves, the subsequent skills will automatically manifest themselves layer by layer.

"You can take these insect temples to various continents. You don't have to force yourself to practice in a prosperous place, nor limit yourself to the human race. You can scatter them anywhere you want."

"If you are interested, you can also leave a temple for yourself and give it to someone who is destined to be with you."

Liu Feng flicked his sleeves and swept out seven hundred insect shells, distributing them to the forty-sixth and forty-eighth realm slaves.

"As ordered."

Forty-six figures took over the Insect Temple and left the cave one by one. Without exception, they all left behind an Insect Temple.

Not long after these slaves from the Eight Realms left, more slaves from the Eight Realms came in the wind and snow outside the cave, and a middle-aged monk appeared at the entrance of the cave first.

"I have met the Second Heavenly Kings and Brother Chandu."

The middle-aged monk was instructed by the Second Heavenly King's incarnation to come and get the Zen blue from the Insect Temple.

He did not feel anything wrong with calling the younger generation, who were far weaker than him in the past, "senior brother" now.

The Second Heavenly King Fashi nodded with a smile. Without saying a word, Liu Feng swept out the three hundred insect temples.

Zen Lan put away the Insect Temple and moved out of the cave.

Nearly sixty slaves from the eighth realm approached with nervous expressions. After sensing Liu Feng's terrifying aura, they were both shocked and afraid.

The reason is simple. They are different from the previous wave of slaves who left. Those people just took advantage of the chaos to attack and were subdued by Liu Feng, while they are from various royal blood families and obeyed the orders of the immortals and Buddhas in the virtual world to deal with Liu Feng, and later fell into Liu Feng's hands.

"How are you doing with what I told you to do?" Liu Feng asked in a cold voice.

Nearly sixty people felt a chill in their hearts, and first hurriedly took out the spiritual objects they had found everywhere. Then an old man who had reached the eighth level of perfection came forward to respond.

"Reporting to my lord, we have explored all seven continents including Qiongai Continent, and found nine places where time slows down. We placed my master's fellow Taoist in..." Before the old man finished his words, under the suddenly horrified gazes of the many servants behind him, his old body twisted and tore apart from the inside out.

The remaining nearly sixty people were terrified and knew that something was wrong. In an instant, more than forty of them suppressed the restrictions in their bodies with all their strength, turned around and fled, and the remaining twenty people knelt on the ground and begged for their lives.

"Bang, bang bang..."

"Puff puff……"

The sounds of the eight realms kneeling on the ground, accompanied by the strange sounds of blood and flesh flying, mixed together.

After three breaths, no matter whether they chose to escape or kneel down and beg for life, nearly sixty-eight realms were all turned into minced meat.

A string of starlight emerged, and the swarm of Gu covered the snowy ground in blood, and in the blink of an eye, the blood was wiped away.

No one in the cave spoke, and no one thought that there was anything wrong with Liu Feng's behavior. It was natural to use the enemy and then kill him.

The Second Heavenly King nodded secretly, and Liu Feng sent people to place the old Taoist Xuandu in a secret realm where time slowed down, and killed anyone who knew the location, even Liu Feng himself did not know.

In this way, even if Liu Feng was ambushed in the virtual world one day and became unconscious, he would not personally reveal the whereabouts of Xuan Du.

Standing at the back, Yuan Caihe's eyes widened, thinking that the beast Liu had really become the "Liu Demon".

There were nearly sixty people in the eighth realm, which was something that even two or three Wangxue families might not be able to gather. Each of them was capable of founding a sect and becoming a supreme elder, but when they fell into Liu Feng's hands, they were all killed and fed to the poison.

"This beast is as mad and crazy as the rumors say. I remember clearly that he never used humans to feed the Gu in the past..."

"If I trade with him for information about a treasure, will I end up like that old man and get killed the moment I say it?"

Yuan Caihe was holding up a head of branches and leaves, and two thicker tree roots moved underneath her, supporting her to move a few steps forward. She decided to take a gamble on the news.

As long as she can sneak into the virtual world, it is said that cultivation will be much easier. Maybe she will have a chance to become a Gu Immortal, or even go to find Yun Meng's real body one day. At the very least, she will secretly demolish a few temples of that old poisonous woman.

"What do you want? Tell me quickly. I don't have time to waste with you." Liu Feng released his spiritual consciousness and enveloped him.

Yuan Caihe was frightened by the pressure of the spiritual consciousness. She personally felt the power of the beast Liu now, and bravely sent a message: "I also want to go to the virtual world. If you promise to take me to take that road, I will tell you."

"As you wish, you are allowed to follow behind. If the information is not valuable, your life or death has nothing to do with me; if the treasure is what I need, I will send a ninth-grade soldier to protect you and rescue you once more."

"That's enough, that's enough, this arrangement is enough... I have seen a Gu Master who grows water lanterns and strange Gu, he has pigtails and looks pretty..."

When Liu Feng heard the words "water lantern" and "pigtails", he guessed who it was and didn't need to listen to the rest of the words.

Back then on Dongxu Island, Ouyang Shuiling fled into the void with the insect shell palace, which was right in the middle of the two roads.

"It seems that Ouyang Shuiling did not get lost in the depths of the void, and landed on the road leading to the void world that day."

"Based on her position at the time, she fell right in the middle of the road. She couldn't go up or down, so I guess she was stuck in the middle."

Liu Feng remembered that the road leading to the virtual world had many forks like tributaries along the way, and at the end were gaps connected to the void. Ouyang Shuiling was most likely on one of the forks.

With the cultivation level of this woman who had just completed her eighth life, it was impossible for her to move around freely and she could only stay in the insect shell palace.

If I remember correctly, his "senior sister" Zhou Wan should have been trapped with Ouyang Shuiling. Of course, the premise is that Ouyang Shuiling did not kill Zhou Wan.

"The insect shell palace in Ouyang Shuiling's hand is extremely extraordinary, it is definitely not left by an ordinary Gu Immortal. It will be useful for me to become a Gu Immortal, and it may also be useful after I reach the Immortal Realm!"

Liu Feng made a decision that he would spend some time searching when he reached the middle of the road. Of course, if he couldn't find it, he wouldn't risk staying any longer.

His gaze turned to his Blood Shura clone, who understood and immediately contacted the Blood Shura of the Virtual Realm with his will, informing him that he would set off for the Virtual Realm and asking about the dangers along the way.

Over the long years, many Blood Shura immortals have walked that road, so the Shura from the Void Realm must know most of the dangerous places on that road.

It would be good if he could find out the answer, but if he couldn't, Liu Feng wouldn't care too much. What frightened him this time was not the danger on the road of corpses and evil spirits, but the fact that there would be immortals and Buddhas blocking his way after he reached the virtual world.

If he contacts the Blood Shura from the Void Realm first, then at least there will be a Blood Shura from the Void Realm to disrupt the situation, and he may be able to take the opportunity to escape.

"The best way is to wait for the virtual world to be in chaos and sneak into it, but the opportunity is rare and I can't just sit there and wait."

After only ten breaths of contemplation, the memories shared by Shura's clone suddenly showed a series of pictures, including dangerous forks in the road that one should not take, and all kinds of huge and terrifying evil spirits.

The entire road was built with corpses and evil spirits, and as expected, many of them were alive!
After noting down the dangerous place, Liu Feng thought about it for the last time and had no intention of staying in the world for a long time. Only by going to the virtual world and having better spiritual objects, his cultivation would be faster.

The Buddhist world opened and closed, and a Buddhist boat floated to his side and turned into Ke Qianrou's figure.

"It's time to move."

Liu Feng took the lead and walked out of the cave, followed by more than ten figures. Shura's clone separated a ninth-grade soldier Gu and protected Yuan Caihe under the insect armor.

Unexpectedly, after the woman had temporary shelter, she quickly huddled up under the armor of the soldier insect, with seven-colored liquid flowing out of her body. She actually made a cocoon at this time to attack her eighth body.

Amidst the heavy snow and wind, a group of people flew northwards and disappeared into the snow in the blink of an eye.

Only two people were left there, Chan Lan and Cao Tianshi.

Looking at the direction where Liu Feng disappeared, Lao Cao shook his head helplessly. He wanted to follow him just now, and he knew that as long as he opened his mouth, Liu Feng would definitely take him along and would also save him in the critical moment.

But he knew his own weight and didn't want to drag Liu Feng down.

……

Qiongaizhou, somewhere in the underground abyss.

There was a foul stench in the darkness, and a long shadow shaped like a flat snake stretched for a hundred miles and even a thousand miles.

The thousand-mile-long shadow extends downward to an unknown place at the bottom of the abyss, while the other end disappears into the void.

Those who are not aware of the situation would think that the road to the virtual world is hidden deep in the void, but they don’t know that one side of the road is underground.

Most of the cultivators in the great world who set out on this road have only set out halfway on this road, and few know that the starting point of the road is at the bottom of the abyss.

In the darkness, a man and a woman appeared at the end of a thousand-mile long shadow. The woman was wearing a red robe, revealing her beauty, while the man had a dark complexion and a strong body.

With the cultivation level of the two immortal incarnations, they couldn't help but hesitate for a moment when they set foot on this road made of evil corpses.

Although they came here as clones, there is no guarantee that they would not be possessed by some evil spirit and brought to the virtual world, causing harm to their real bodies.

"That Liu guy will definitely come. Let's go a little further, make some arrangements, and then find a chance to ambush him."

"The power of the Imperial Daughter Palace in the Great World will definitely send people here. Let's wait for them to take action first."

The two of them flew and landed on a road that stretched for a hundred miles. Before the evil spirits squeezed out from the ground could pounce on them, they all threw themselves into the void along the way and disappeared.
