The Ascension of the Evil Path: Starting from Refining Gu

The energy of the earth veins rolled forward, and after about two million miles, a fork appeared in the ravine, dividing into east and south.

At this time, among the hundreds of gullies heading south, there was a gully with extremely thick turbid air.

It was pitch black all around, with foul air surging.

The Dongxu Ring, which had shrunk to about twenty feet in size, was suspended in the air, moving forward rapidly along with the energy of the earth veins.

"Master Daozi, if you want to take the treasures in the armory, you don't have to wait for the spirit of the weapon to send it down. You can also go to the island and pass through the checkpoints to get the treasure after you become an immortal." Taoist slave Zuo Chen explained while healing his wounds.

Liu Feng sat cross-legged in the middle of the Dongxu Ring, his face terribly gloomy, and he didn't say much.

With his current realm, it is unknown how many years it will take for him to become an immortal or a venerable.

Now, before he looks for a new place to practice, there are two places he needs to go. One is to borrow his identity jade token to look for the remains of the Pingtian Palace Gu Master lineage, and the other is to go with Zuo Chen to get the Immortal Spring.

The former is too far away and does not seem to be in the wilderness, while the latter is right in the wilderness. Going south is to see if there is a chance to get the fairy spring.

According to what Zuo Chen had discovered, the Fairy Spring was in a place filled with cracks in the void, and every time Zuo Chen was seriously injured, he would go outside the Fairy Spring to practice.

The Dongxu Ring moved forward, and the turbid air was blocked by the void barrier. Even if a little bit of it invaded, it was taken away by Liu Xiaoxiao.

In addition to a few immortals and Buddhas, there are circles of the Eight Realms and the Nine Realms surrounding and guarding. When they glanced at Liu Feng out of the corner of their eyes, they felt both respect and fear.

They respected Liu Feng's status and strength, but they were afraid that Liu Feng would provoke another powerful enemy. If a few more immortals or even more powerful immortals and Buddhas came, they would all be killed sooner or later.

"It hurts... My head is going to split apart..."

The wailing continued, and there was a "tree stump" covered with branches lying next to it. The miserable cries were blocked within twenty feet by the void barrier.

Ouyang Shuiling and Zhou Wan sat on the side. The two women said nothing, staring at Yuan Caihe who was wailing, and felt empathy for her.

They and Yuan Caihe huddled together next to Liu Feng to avoid close combat with the evil spirits, thinking that it would be safer. But now it seems that staying close might also bring bad luck.

This time it was Yuan Caihe who was unlucky, and next time it might be their turn. But if they stayed away from Liu Feng, they might lose their lives like the Yu brothers and sisters.

"Senior Brother Liu, Master Liu, that thing came out of you...please help me..." Yuan Caihe couldn't bear the pain and crawled towards Liu Feng.

In addition to the severe pain in her body, her spiritual sea was flooded with a huge amount of distracting thoughts, all of which were telling her to restore the Huangquan Sect, plant the Huangquan tree again, and collect the spirits of all living beings in the world.

Before she could get close to Liu Feng, an invisible void barrier appeared in front of her, blocking her way.

Liu Feng looked at her coldly and scanned the woman's body with his all-seeing eyes. His vitality did not seem to be weakened much, which meant that she would not die at all. It was just that she could not bear the pain and was temporarily unable to adapt to the Yellow Springs Divine Tree entering her body.

Since she won't die, there's no need to pay too much attention to her. Leaving this girl behind to eavesdrop on other people's conversations can be of some use.

"If I can get rid of the Yellow Springs Sacred Tree, my future cultivation will be smoother. At least I won't have to worry about being harmed by that obsession when I enter the realm of immortals and Buddhas."

According to Yuanming and Rongjing's feelings, those who are at a higher realm have a more frequent attack of the obsession in the Yellow Springs Sacred Tree, which is like a life-threatening urge. Even Rongjing, who is at the True Buddha realm, may go astray in his daily practice if he does not act according to his obsession.

Now that I have gotten rid of the Yellow Springs Sacred Tree, this is the only thing I can be thankful for in this experience.

The Huangquan Pagoda was made of the Huangquan sacred wood, and he imposed many refining restrictions on it, but one would have to be careful when using this treasure in the future.

It would be a pity to discard this treasure directly. I will add more restrictions when his realm reaches a higher level.

"There are cultivators coming ahead, three True Immortals." Liu Xiaoxiao in the Insect Palace suddenly sent a voice reminder.

Four or five breaths after the message was transmitted, Liu Feng and the four immortals and Buddhas raised their eyes and looked towards the front of the ravine one after another.

The energy of the earth veins pushed forward, and the center of the turbid air it carried with it fluctuated violently.

The divine thoughts and spiritual awareness did not extend far from here, and it was not until the person approached within three miles that the cultivators on the Dongxu Ring could see him clearly.

Coming in the opposite direction were two groups of monks, one fleeing and one chasing. The fleeing group were mostly shirtless, with their bodies covered with patterns that looked like ancient totems; the chasing group were either riding snake monsters or vine monsters.

The two waves of people together numbered nearly 150 people above the eighth realm, among whom were three at the True Immortal level. The methods they performed were never seen before by cultivators such as Liu Feng from the Great World.

Even Rong Jing and Li Ying, the two immortals and Buddhas who had lived in the ruins of Pingtian Palace for many years, only felt that the man looked familiar, as if they had heard rumors about him somewhere before.

Rumor has it that there are many tribes living and multiplying in the earth veins, all of which are ancient tribes left over from the last era.

"People in front, quickly stop these barbarians." The immortal who was riding the snake demon and chasing behind shouted.

But when more than fifty "barbarians" crossed the Dongxu Ring, no one stopped them.

Liu Feng and the others were in a bad mood. The immortal who controlled the snake demon spoke in a domineering tone, as if he was giving orders to his subordinates. How could they pay any attention to him?

Besides, what does the fighting between outsiders have to do with them?

The next moment, rolling demonic energy rushed towards them, and more than a hundred monks riding snake monsters and vine monsters came closer.

The two True Immortals in the lead were a short and fat middle-aged man and an old man with long beard and white hair. They glanced at the four immortals and Buddhas on the Dongxu Ring. They did not take any action out of fear, but they looked displeased.

"In this 3 million li section of the Wild South, no one dares to disrespect our two families."

"The way in through the earth vein is hard to find, and the way out is even harder to find. You'd better be careful as you go forward."

It turned out that the cultivator who controlled the monster came from two families, but their skills and bloodlines were extremely similar.

While the two True Immortals were talking, they simultaneously displayed their respective innate magical powers, releasing two kinds of demonic aura in a very subtle way, which attached themselves to the Dongxu Ring.

Liu Feng noticed it immediately and guessed that this was a mark for them. He was afraid that after they moved forward, the clansmen of the two families would attack them.

At the same time, Yuan Caihe's voice reached his ears.

"Master Liu, they want to harm us. The fat one said he would mark us, and the old one said we have to wait for their ancestor to deal with us!" The woman's tone was resentful when she transmitted the message.

If anyone in their group was in the worst mood right now, it would naturally be her. They were already full of resentment with nowhere to vent, and now they had just escaped and encountered someone who wanted to kill them.

"Master Daozi, these two families should be the descendants of the ancient spirit race..." At this time, the Taoist slave Zuo Chen transmitted the message.

"Kill them all."

Liu Feng interrupted with a cold face. At the same time, the Dongxu Divine Weapon walked out of the inner world and instantly cast hundreds of void barriers to cut off the hundreds of descendants of the spirit race who were about to continue chasing.

Seeing him take action, the four immortals and Buddhas Zuo Chen, Fashi, Rong Jing and Li Ying attacked together.

However, before these four people could show their power, Liu Xiaoxiao, who was also feeling depressed, released twenty evil infants in the early stage of True Immortal.

Afterimages flashed from Liu Feng's chest, and an extremely sharp cry resounded for an instant. Wherever his spiritual thoughts passed, the surrounding turbid air and the energy of the earth veins became chaotic.

Invisible spiritual impact rushed towards the hundreds of spirits who were about to take action in anger.

Liu Feng and his group saw these people's heads tilted back, two True Immortals were blocked by the Evil Infant, and the rest of the Eighth and Nine Realms fell on their backs, and the snake monsters and vine monsters fainted without exception. "What descendants of the ancient spirit race? I have tasted the real blood of the ancient spirit race. Those guys seemed to be so arrogant back then. They are really of the same lineage."

A head with a bun appeared from Liu Feng's coat, half of its body left the Insect Palace, and it looked at the tragic scene behind with contempt.

After staying in the ruins of Pingtian Palace for hundreds of years, he has not recovered much and cannot defeat the immortals, but he has accumulated a lot of blood and flesh essence and separated out many evil infants at the level of True Immortals. It is not difficult for him to kill a few True Immortals and True Buddhas who are ignorant of the danger.

Twenty True Immortal-level evil infants acted like mad, tearing and gnawing at each other, and within three breaths they turned back.

The cultivators on the Dongxu Ring looked again and saw only broken bones left without even a piece of flesh and blood.

Seeing this scene, the scalps of the three sects, eight realms and nine realms tingled. Listening to the crisp child's voice beside their ears, no one dared to turn around and look at Liu Feng.

Rong Jing, the leader of Wuyang Buddhist Sect, and Li Ying, the leader of Baihua Pavilion, both felt uneasy.

Hundreds of years have passed, and this evil spirit has become more and more powerful. If one day it feels that they are useless, it will probably swallow them directly.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, do we need to find a way to take a detour? After killing these descendants of the spirit race, we may meet their fellow tribesmen if we go further." The old monk Rong Jing said cautiously.

Liu Feng shook his head. The terrain here was unique and it was not easy to take a detour, unless you turned around and went back to find a fork in the road. Otherwise, if you went forward, there were hundreds of gullies not far from each other, so it would be almost the same whether you took a detour or not.

In addition, if you go back, you may encounter people chasing you, or even the fairy women from the Imperial Daughter Palace.

It was better to keep going forward than to face the enemies that might come his way if he went back. Since they were able to get a group of barbarians to escape, it seemed that the ancestors of these two spirit tribes were not that powerful.

"belch……"

All the evil infants were taken back, bringing with them the essence of the two True Immortals. The ball-headed creature burped loudly, and after spitting out a large ball of turbid water towards the Ring of Void, it shrank back into the space inside the Insect Palace.

Liu Feng used his all-seeing eyes to take a quick look around and discovered that the evil spirit that had previously attached itself to him had been completely replaced by foul air. He couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

At his signal, Zuo Chen activated the Dongxu Ring.

Just as they were about to continue heading south to search for the fairy spring, the turbid air behind them broke open a hole, and a thick blood light flew closer, in which were the fifty or so barbarians who had escaped earlier.

The middle-aged strong man in front clasped his fists and bowed to Liu Feng, saying in a deep voice: "Daoyou, please walk slowly. I am Lei Teng. I will let Lei catch up and say a few words. I hope Daoyou can save my people."

While the middle-aged sturdy man was speaking, the rest of the tribesmen in the blood light looked terrified. They had just seen with their own eyes the descendants of the two spirit tribes who were chasing them being eaten up. How could they not be afraid?

Only a few young children and a dark-faced woman showed no fear and were looking at Liu Feng who was sitting in the center.

Lei Teng explained the origins of the two spirit clans, one was the Shi family, the other was the Mu family. Both were descendants of the spirit clan, gifted with magical powers and good at controlling monsters, and the clan had accumulated a wealth of spiritual creatures.

After talking about the two spiritual tribes, the barbarian immortal then revealed how many immortal medicines he could produce.

"If you can help save people, my clan is willing to give out all the elixirs as a token of gratitude." Lei Teng bowed again.

"My handsome brother, if you have the ability, please help our clan." The dark-skinned woman bravely joined in, her tone as straightforward as a man's.

Hearing about the elixir, Liu Feng looked back coldly.

The middle-aged man first said that the two spiritual tribes had a rich accumulation of spiritual objects, and then promised to take out his own elixir. He simply wanted him to save people, but also coveted the spiritual objects of the two tribes and came to kill them.

"I probably don't think highly of the elixirs your clan can produce. You'd better look for someone else." Liu Feng ignored the ugly smile forced by the dark-skinned woman and responded indifferently.

As he finished speaking, as he expected, the middle-aged man named Lei Teng twitched his face and spoke again.

"My clan has obtained a treasure, which is the White Soul recorded in the clan. It can greatly nourish the spirituality of the cultivators. It is also because of the exposure of this treasure that we have attracted the two enemies, the Shi family and the Mu family."

"If you can save the lives of my people, not only will we hand over this white soul, but we will also follow you and go through fire and water for you."

Rather than having their treasures robbed and the two families joining forces to exterminate their clan, they would rather follow others.

"Bai Po?" Liu Feng looked at the Taoist slave Zuo Chen, but saw that the other party also shook his head slightly.

This Taoist slave, who was at the level of a True Immortal, had lived for less than ten thousand years and his experience was also limited. He had never heard of this thing.

It was Liu Xiaoxiao who remembered and transmitted the message to Liu Feng.

"Promise them that it's not bad to use these barbarians as human shields. The white souls are born from the gathering of spiritual energy between heaven and earth. They are comparable to the souls of immortals and Buddhas, but they are ignorant and unconscious. After refining, they will not backfire on the cultivators themselves."

Hearing about such a huge benefit, Liu Feng nodded and waved expressionlessly to signal Lei family barbarian cultivator to follow.

"Tell me how many immortals and Buddhas there are in those two spiritual tribes."

"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist. Their two families are not at the same level of immortals and Buddhas. It's just that their ancestors are almost invincible at the level of true immortals, but they have failed to break through to the level of upper immortals."

"Thank you, handsome brother. I knew you were a good man. My name is Lei Xiaolu, the next patriarch of the Lei family. I have reached the ninth level of perfection and will definitely be able to help you in the future."

When Lei Teng explained the power of the two spirit clan descendants through voice transmission, the dark-skinned woman named Lei Xiaolu also expressed his gratitude.

……

About two quarters of an hour later, the Dongxu Ring flew along the earth's energy veins and moved forward more than 100,000 miles.

When Liu Feng and his men arrived at the territory of the Lei family's barbarian cultivators, they saw a cave close to the gullies of the earth veins. The space was hundreds of miles wide, and the passages and stone chambers inside were intricate.

At this moment, most of the underground space within sight was filled with monsters. Many spirit monks used the monsters to push forward, while they themselves only cast spells from the back.

Trampled under the feet of monsters and spirit monks were the corpses of the Lei barbarian tribe.

When Lei Teng and his group of more than 50 tribesmen saw this scene, their eyes suddenly opened wide in anger, and the totem-like patterns on their bodies glowed with blood, reflecting the shadows of one-horned humanoid beasts.

"Master, please save my people."

Liu Feng's eyes swept across the spiritual bloodline in the underground cave. None of the people who came over could threaten them. There were six True Immortals leading the way. There was no such thing as a perfect True Immortal, let alone a Supreme Immortal.

Near the exit of the underground cave, the immortals from the Shi and Mu families had already noticed the people coming from outside.

The four inner worlds opened at the same time. In addition to the snake monsters and vine monsters, thousands of snakes, dragons, and plant monsters poured out. The first four were real demon immortals.

"Rumble..."

The ground and rock walls shook as more than three thousand monsters in the late seventh realm or above rushed over.

In order to plot against the ancestors of the two families, Liu Feng did not ask Liu Xiaoxiao to show up for the time being. With a thought, the Dongxu Divine Weapon was placed in front of him.

Zuo Chen and the other four immortals and Buddhas understood and quickly followed the Dongxu Divine Weapon. The three inner worlds opened up, and those in the late seventh realm and above from the three sects rushed out continuously.

To integrate one's own forces, one must select the best from the best. Now is a suitable opportunity to hone one's abilities. The monsters that one hunts can also be sent to the cauldron to make medicine.
