The Ascension of the Evil Path: Starting from Refining Gu

Half a day after Shangguan Ya and Wenren Zhuo, the two immortal clones, left, a ray of golden light escaped into the dark abyss and turned into a skinny old woman.

The old woman was wearing monk's robes and a monk's hat. There was no expression on her face, but anxiety was revealed deep in her eyes.

Behind her, a black light was flying rapidly, chasing her family.

Not daring to delay even for a moment, the old woman opened and closed the world within her body, releasing the elite members of her clan. A group of more than twenty people in the seventh realm flashed onto the path of the evil spirit and were thrown into the void.

Less than four breaths later, an old monk with green eyebrows arrived and stared at the crack in the void with cold eyes.

"They may not really go to the virtual world, they may just take shelter on the road. If we get rid of these remnants, the Rong family will be cut off from the roots, and we won't give them a chance to breathe."

After a slight hesitation, the old monk with green eyebrows flipped his palm to repel the turbid air and evil spirits that were rushing in, and decided to chase in.

At this moment, he suddenly turned his head and looked into the darkness in the distance. In another underground karst tunnel leading to the abyss here, a group of insects flew in the sky.

At the front of the insect cloud, there were actually eighteen ninth-grade soldier Gu clearing the way, which forced the road to collapse and expand into a large circle.

"Which Gu Master wants to break into the virtual world... Shura Blood Demon, accompanied by the Blood Shura Immortal Seed."

"According to the Gu group, there are Wang Gu Zhu Ming and Wang Gu Xing He... They are the young Lius who have become famous in recent years!"

While the green-browed old monk was wondering, a cloud of insects came closer. On the backs of most of the eighteen soldier Gu were figures sitting cross-legged, including a female spirit, fifteen people in total. Except for a Gu Master who was in a hurry to be reborn, the auras emitted by the others were all above the ninth realm.

With his cultivation level of the late stage of the King's Blood Nine Buddha Roots, he couldn't help but feel nervous when encountering such a scene, which was composed of a bunch of vicious people including the Immortal Cultivators, Demon Cultivators, Monster Cultivators, and Gu Masters.

However, it is rumored that although the younger generation surnamed Liu is ruthless, they will not kill innocent people indiscriminately and are unlikely to attack him for no reason.

"I am Jian Heng, from the royal family of Liantanzhou, Gongsun family. It is a great honor to meet fellow Taoist of Lunzhuanjiao Zendu. Do you want to take this path to the virtual world?"

The cloud of insects fell towards the road full of evil spirits. On the back of the ninth-grade military Gu "Wind Mantis", Liu Feng's real body glanced casually at the green-browed old monk and nodded lightly.

With his sharp eyes, he naturally saw the scene of the chase and escape, and he also saw that the old monk had an evil aura and was parasitic on two ninth-grade evil spirits, so he was definitely not a good person.

But such brutal killings happen every day in the world. No matter whether it is right or wrong, good or bad, he cannot interfere.

Liu Feng did not respond much to the old monk Jianheng, and led his men towards the void rift connected to the Tongxu Road.

As soon as the insect cloud left, the old monk Jianheng's eyes became gloomy again. He was somewhat unhappy to be looked down upon by a junior.

"It is said that this person has many secrets. Since we just happened to run into him going to the virtual world, we might as well tell our ancestors about this matter. It will be up to them to decide whether to capture this young man or not."

With one hand he took out the golden bowl, a relic, and with the other hand he drew a river of blood from the inner world, and performed a blood sacrifice on the spot to summon the ancestor's spirit.

After telling the ancestor about the rumors about Liu Feng, the old monk Jianheng put away the golden bowl and flew into the crack in the void.

Take a step forward and find yourself in the boundless void.

The empty road beneath my body stretches for hundreds of miles, and it stretches for who knows how many hundreds of thousands of miles ahead.

The road section in the void extends obliquely upwards, as if the virtual world is deep in the void above the universe. This is why there is the universe below mentioned by the incarnations of immortals and Buddhas.

The higher you go, the more "bloated" the road built by evil corpses becomes.

On the road which is hundreds of miles wide, there are passages stacked up and down and left and right, crisscrossed like coiled intestines, and some places are blocked.

The crisscrossing passages were filled with all kinds of deformed evil spirits. From a distance, they looked like a forest of flesh and blood, rising up for more than a thousand feet. The flesh and blood swayed, blocking the field of vision, confusing the spiritual consciousness, and making it impossible to see the edge of the road clearly with the naked eye.

In the void outside the road, there was a faint gray air flowing, like an endless river.

Being on the Tongxu Road, the moment he took a step forward, an invisible pressure followed and locked onto his body. The old monk Jianheng suddenly had an epiphany.

"As our ancestors said, the inner world cannot contain powerful creatures, otherwise it is likely to destroy one's own inner world, and it will also cause oneself to bear the pressure of others, making it difficult to move forward."

"With Liu Feng leading the way, I can save myself some trouble. I will just follow him for a while and catch up with the Rong family."

Jian Heng saw many flesh and blood passages that were tens to hundreds of feet long, in one of which he could see a cloud of insects going away.

At this time, we went forward more than ten miles.

There are eighteen ninth-grade soldier Gu leading the way. It seems that there is no need to worry about the road ahead, just keep moving forward.

Except for the half-dead Semi-Immortal Gu Master Yu Xia, everyone else looked excited, especially the Yu siblings and Yuan Ming. They had entered the Ninth Realm before the departure, and were extremely excited at the moment.

As long as they can survive and reach the virtual world, with their qualifications, reaching the realm of immortals and Buddhas will not be too difficult.

Tu Qingyan took over another body to cultivate again, and her eyes could not hide her excitement. What her original body had failed to achieve even when it came to the ninth level of perfection, she would most likely be able to fulfill her wish by following a human.

"This road is nine hundred thousand miles long. In the middle, you need to cross two tributaries of the Sea of ​​Bitterness and cross three sections of turbulent currents in the void. The actual distance you cross is difficult to estimate." Liu Feng Shura's clone explained.

Once these words were spoken, it was like pouring a bucket of cold water on the group's hearts, calming them down from their excited mood.

The dozens of miles they have walked now are far from the middle of the road. Even with a powerful man like Liu Feng who has unfathomable strength, there is no guarantee that all the people traveling together can pass smoothly.

If any of them were to come alone, except for the three Blood Shura Immortals and Fa Shi, the others would most likely not be able to reach even the middle section.

"There are many dangerous places on the road. We can go through them together. As long as we don't get too close, we can kill them all. But there is one place where you must not take action. There is a primitive evil spirit called the Holy Mother of Yanyou."

"About 80,000 years ago, a great man incarnated to hunt her down. She fled to this road and was nailed to the Suppressing Void Pillar halfway. Later, she gave rise to a large number of evil infants..."

The original evil spirit, the Holy Mother of Yanyou, the Pillar of Zhenxu, all the things about the Tongxu Road and the virtual world were slowly revealed as the Blood Shura's clone narrated.

It was as if a corner of the curtain was drawn back, and through the words that reached their ears, a magnificent world in which a large number of ancient and powerful creatures, towering above the heaven and earth, fought against each other emerged in their minds.

The original evil spirits are the evil spirits born from the heaven outside the sky. They are not necessarily all ancient, but all of them are powerful and treacherous. They are born in the realm of immortals and Buddhas, have great potential for growth, and may all be able to cultivate to the level of a leader.

Of course, when all tribes encounter this kind of primitive evil, they will all shout and kill it, and it is difficult for it to survive to the level of a leader.

Liu Feng sat cross-legged on top of "Wind Mantis", listening to the Shura clone telling him some secrets of the virtual world and the cultivation behind it. He knew that it was a powerful Blood Shura from the virtual world, who was using his clone to convey the message as they had a connection with each other.

Combining his incomplete memories of his past life with the cultivation realm of the immortals and Buddhas in the virtual world, he had a complete understanding.

Above the nine realms are immortals and Buddhas. The first step is true immortals and true Buddhas. Immortals and Buddhas can be good or evil. There are poison immortals, martial immortals, corpse immortals, soul immortals, evil immortals... evil Buddhas, demon Buddhas, and good Buddhas. Each sect has a different interpretation.

In fact, there is only one great realm above the true immortals and true Buddhas. Once you cross it, you will attain the legendary Tao and see the true great way, which is called the realm of the great way.

All the immortals and Buddhas are approaching the legendary realm of the Great Dao, but as time goes by, it seems that no one has achieved it, the only difference is how close they are.

The closer one is to the Great Dao, the stronger one becomes. There is a distinction between high and low, so the immortals and Buddhas divide the path above the True Buddha and True Immortal into three realms before attaining the Dao.

Immortals cultivate three bodies, Buddhas cultivate three lives, and one more body or one more life is a higher realm. Above the true immortals are the one-body immortals, respectfully called "Shangxian"; the two-body celestial immortals, respectfully called "Xianjun"; the three-body Taoist immortals, respectfully called "Xianzu".

Above the True Buddha, the Buddha of the past life is respectfully called "Venerable One"; the Buddha of the present life is respectfully called "Saint"; and the Buddha of the future life is respectfully called "Buddha".

The "Immortal Ancestor" is the Taoist immortal with three bodies among the immortals, and the "Buddha" is the future Buddha with three lives among the Buddhas. They are the leaders of religions, who establish religions and preach, and their lifespans are as long as hundreds of thousands of years.

Even the leader who is said to be longer-lived may have lived for nearly a million years, and it is unknown in which era he was born, so he is extremely ancient.

"The path after becoming an immortal or Buddha seems to be completely different from the practice of cultivation in the great universe. It requires the thoughts of all living beings to push forward, that is, to receive incense and worship from all living beings."

Liu Feng thought that if he wanted to receive incense, he should at least pretend to protect the believers and make them worship sincerely. Otherwise, if too many distracting and evil thoughts gathered, no matter how strong the immortal or Buddha's spirit was, its mind would be polluted and it might even turn into an evil immortal or evil Buddha.

The purpose of the monks in the Great World is to become strong and self-sufficient, so why would they want to drag all living beings into the world after becoming immortals and Buddhas? This is puzzling.

His master, Tanye Buddha, had never mentioned this to him, and there was no such related insight in the partial memories of his previous lives.

“There are also three realms above the True Immortal and True Buddha. In fact, they are just small realms leading to the realm of the Great Dao.”

“If the eighth and ninth realms obtain enough spiritual objects and gain enlightenment, they can even cross the small realms and increase their cultivation rapidly. Above the immortals and Buddhas, are there people who can realize the great way in one day, cross the small realms and directly become the leader level, or even cultivate to the great way realm.”

Liu Feng did not think about it too deeply. Anyway, it was impossible for him to figure it out thoroughly now. He only knew that the more time passed, the more crucial it would be to understand.

He suddenly raised his eyes and stared ahead. He had already driven the group of Gu to walk more than 3,000 miles, which meant they were still near the starting point.

However, in the bloody and flesh passages ahead that looked like tangled intestines, large black shadows appeared, and a Buddhist banner was leading eight Buddhist practitioners to retreat violently.

There were eight Buddhist practitioners, both men and women, and the leader was the old woman who had been hunted by Jian Heng before.

"Fellow Daoist, an immortal clone has disturbed the insect nest and caused a swarm of insects. We should retreat first and wait until the swarm of insects calms down and returns to the nest before going forward..."

The skinny old woman spoke loudly to Liu Feng and his group from a distance, not knowing whether she was being kind or trying to please them.

On the way of fleeing back, most of the twenty or so remaining tribesmen were gone, and two of the eight people in front of him had their Buddhist banners pulled off them one after another and were submerged in the swarm of insects in an instant.

Soon, the Buddha's flag approached, and when the two sides passed each other, the old woman and the other six people found that Liu Feng and his party did not stop at all, but were still controlling the group of Gu to move forward.

"Ancestor, we can't retreat. The mad dog Jian Heng is coming!"

"The Gongsun family wants to exterminate our Rong family, mother. If we fall into his hands, we will surely die."

"Please ask the clan mother to lead us forward. It would be better for us to follow these seniors."

The five younger generations who survived here are all at the eighth level and are still relatively young. They are the ones who inherited the family that the old woman risked her life to snatch back from her clan.

Among the five men and women, only one looked middle-aged, while the other two men and two women looked young. Their cultivation in the eighth realm was enough for them to look down upon their peers and be full of vigor and vitality, but now they all looked pale and had despair in their eyes.

"Brother Rong, there is a tide of insects ahead. Do you want to take your people with you to feed the insects, or should I take you on your way?"

Amidst the evil spirits that were like a forest of blood and flesh, the old monk with green eyebrows spread out his cassock and came over slowly, covering several miles at a time.

With someone leading the way, he walked very easily along the way.

Without saying a word, the old woman surnamed Rong turned the Buddhist flag and followed the group of more than ten people in the front. When the distance was shortened to the range of spiritual consciousness, she immediately transmitted the message.

"My fellow Taoists, our ancestors are still alive in the virtual world. As long as you take us to the virtual world, our ancestors will help you become immortals or Buddhas."

The message was sent, but no one in front responded.

The person the old woman thought was the leader, the old monk who had perfected the Nine Buddha Roots, immediately retreated to the soldier Gu at the back and let the young man go to the front to resist the tide of insects.

Most of the way ahead, one by one, the ninth-grade soldier Gu retreated back into the Gu group.

Liu Feng stood in the air, alone in front, scanning the "black tide" that stretched for dozens of miles and was coming towards him.

What came with it was an extremely thick and foul smell, and the entire insect swarm had an evil aura, probably because they had eaten too much evil.

The size of this swarm is at least as large as the combined wealth of seven or eight elders in their nine lifetimes, and this should only be a part of the nest.

"The immortal's clone disturbed the insect nest?"

With a light snort, Liu Feng knew what was going on. He guessed that it was probably his enemy who was behind this, deliberately angering the queen insect in the nest and causing a tide of insects.

I just don't know which family the immortal's incarnation is from, because he has killed too many members of the royal blood clan in the past few years, and he has already killed more than ten families. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to enslave more than a hundred and eight realms!

Apart from the Tantai and Zhuang families, anyone who attacks him will be retaliated against, no matter the reason or the virtual world forces behind them.

"Let's clear a passage first. When we get over there and take a look, we will know which immortal's clone it is."

“Buzz, buzz…”

The strange poison, the Dongxu Buddhist Scripture, the poisonous qi and the Buddha's power were activated at the same time, and one whirlpool of void after another was connected.

In the blink of an eye, the scene over a mile wide was distorted, the bloody passages were torn into rotten flesh, and thousands of evil spirits wailed.

Suddenly, a method that could kill a large number of evil spirits in the seventh, eighth, and even ninth realms appeared, which frightened the people following behind and made them lose their minds.

Even Fa Shi and others who were traveling with Liu Feng were shocked again.

The three Blood Shuras had gleaming eyes, among which Qu Yu's eyes became deep. A Blood Shuras from the Void Realm borrowed his body and looked at Liu Feng from a distance.

Liu Feng, who faced the insect swarm alone, actually did so on purpose. He showed enough potential to make the Blood Shura of the Void Realm willing to send out a large army for him and clear out the immortals and Buddhas who were blocking the end of the road and waiting to capture him alive.

"The ninth-grade Sky-Erosion Gu technique is still good at killing and injuring, but it has not yet shown its mysteriousness. It cannot deal with the ever-changing methods of the True Immortals and True Buddhas, but it is just right for this group of ignorant insects."

A number of whirlpools in the void were connected to each other, rotating in unison, merging into a huge whirlpool that stretched for more than ten miles. It was like a giant millstone, and the incoming tide of insects was completely broken into pieces.

In the back, the six people from the Rong family and the old monk Jianheng from the Gongsun family opened their eyes wide with expressions of disbelief.

If they were not in the vast universe and knew that even the immortals and Buddhas would be suppressed, they would have doubted whether the gray-haired young man was the real Gu Immortal.

At a glance, the insect swarm was pushed out to form a gap over a distance of more than ten miles, and fragments of insect shells were flying in the air like heavy rain.

A thousand-foot-long dragon-scale evil monster emerged from the group of Gu. The demon in its belly poked its head out and opened its mouth to suck fiercely, even able to eat the essence of the insect tide that was contaminated by the evil spirit.
