The Ascension of the Evil Path: Starting from Refining Gu

Hearing the familiar voice and seeing the incarnation of Liu Feng, Qiao Bei and a group of Arab monks were all ecstatic.

"Master, have you really become a Buddha?" Qiao Bei's tone was somewhat incredulous.

She didn't know anything about the virtual world, and she had suspected over the years that Liu the beast had gone to the virtual world and was killed by his enemies in his previous life. She knelt down to worship Liu the beast just as a last resort.

Liu Feng, who was sitting on the altar, was slightly adapting to the incarnation. With the divine consciousness that he had condensed now, it was a bit difficult for him to suppress the branches of the Yellow Springs Divine Tree that were refined into the altar.

He nodded in response to Qiao Bei's question, and then said, "The life span of the Eighth Realm is only three thousand years. If you are not destined to reach the Ninth Realm, then you can find a remote place to wait for death in peace. You don't need to worry about disasters."

It would take at least several thousand years for the fragments of the virtual world to fall one after another and pollute the entire universe. With the life span of an Eight Realms person, it is very likely that he would not live to see that day.

Qiao Bei frowned when she heard this, thinking that Liu the beast was arrogant and looked down on her. He kept scolding her for dying in the world and saying that she was waiting to die. Not a single nice word was said.

"What disaster?" she asked subconsciously.

The other Arab monks stared with their eyes shrunk by the fat, and they all felt that it was a good thing to have someone in the virtual world so that they could know some big secrets in advance.

Liu Feng didn't waste any words because the restrictions of the Insect Temple were about to be broken by outsiders.

He used his spiritual consciousness to send the news of the falling fragments of the virtual world to the ears of more than ten people, and his figure flashed and disappeared on the altar.

"Many parts of the virtual world collapsed, and large areas of heavy turbid air fell towards the world!"

Qiao Bei and others were stunned for a moment. According to this statement, the world would be over soon.

By then, except for some rare secret realms that can resist the pollution of the turbid air of the virtual world, it will be difficult to escape the pollution anywhere. Even if you are in the eighth or ninth realm, your lifespan will be greatly reduced.

However, for the living beings in the contemporary universe, there is a 99% chance that they will die of old age before the catastrophe comes. If they are really unlucky, that will be a matter of concern for future generations.

Just as they were shocked by Liu Feng's news, Qiao Bei and others heard noises outside the Insect Temple, like the galloping of thousands of troops and the whistling of countless magic weapons.

But these people are not fighting desperately, they are all running for their lives.

"Willow Demon, it's Willow Demon!"

"After a thousand years, he, he became a Buddha!"

"Senior Liu, please spare my life. Our ancestors never made things difficult for you in the past."

When Qiao Bei led the Da Shi Sect and his group out of the space inside the Insect Temple, the huge space was swept away. Except for some members of the Royal Blood Clan who were crushed to death, the rest of the figures disappeared without a trace.

Seeing that Liu the beast was still as ferocious as ever, Qiao Bei hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly took out the spiritual object inherited from the Stone Temple that he had obtained, wanting to offer it to please Liu the beast.

"Master, this is..."

Standing in mid-air above the long river of spiritual marrow, Liu Feng waved his hand and did not take the stone axe that Qiao Bei handed over.

It is just a heritage from the perfection of the Nine Realms, not left by the ancient incarnations of immortals and Buddhas.

"What is the current realm of the others?" Liu Feng suddenly asked.

This question made Qiao Bei's face turn red instantly. She had been hanging out with the people of the Dashi Sect for many years, eating and drinking to her heart's content everywhere. Her cultivation was quite solid, but when she reached the bottleneck of entering the Ninth Realm, eating and drinking alone was not enough. She also needed chance and understanding.

The others were ahead, but she was the only one who lagged behind.

"They... have all entered the Ninth Realm. Jing Ling is about to enter the late Ninth Buddha Root. Cao Tianshi was reborn into his ninth body a few years ago. I heard that Lu Yao has also been reborn into his ninth body..."

After these words were spoken, except for Ji Qiu who had the Shura body and intentionally stopped practicing, those who had followed Liu Feng in the past, and even Lu Yao, who had no particular aptitude, had already cultivated to the ninth realm.

"Is there any news about the Grand Elder of Yuanyou Palace?" Liu Feng asked again.

"The Yuanyou Palace has been more honest these years and has not competed with others for territory. Those great elders have not appeared for more than 700 years. Rumor has it that someone has seen the great elders of the Yuanyou Palace and said that they have become immortals and abandoned their physical bodies and left."

Qiao Bei explained with some uncertainty, flew up, and wanted to get close to Liu Feng as he had done in the past to see if he could get some benefits from him.

Before the girl flew closer, a divine thought forcibly rushed into her spiritual sea and saw the girl's primordial spirit, yin spirit, and primordial spirit, as well as the three cultivations of Taoism, Buddhism, and refining spirit. Among them, Buddhism was the weakest, and she had only perfected the six Buddha roots. It was really a waste of the Insect Temple.

Then, many three-way skills, and even two secret methods of absorbing Qi obtained from Taoist immortals, were sent into the woman's soul one by one.

"This trip ends here. Next time you offer me a sacrifice, don't call on the Buddha again. There are some old ghost clones hiding in the world. Be careful not to attract their prying eyes."

After he said a few words, the thread of his spiritual thoughts was retracted, and when it was pulled out to mid-air, it penetrated into the void and disappeared.

Watching the Yellow Springs Sacred Tree fly back to the Insect Temple altar on its own, Qiao Bei stood for a long time at the place where Liu Feng left.

It was the Arab monks who reminded them, and the group quickly drew some more spiritual marrow before escaping in a hurry.

……

Virtual world, desolate south.

The crescent moon hung upside down, shrouded in invisible layers of dark fog, while the yin energy on the earth was rising like pale wolf smoke into the sky.

Under the dim moonlight, three thousand-foot merchant ships passed by.

A merchant ship in the middle, a guest room on the second floor of the cabin.

More than thirty warriors sat cross-legged on the ground, not daring to breathe. The leader Yu Ye secretly communicated with Yu Zhenzi.

"Yu Zhenzi, you have met this senior before, right? Don't hide it from me, brother. If you are really acquaintances, please help me put in a few good words and say that we are willing to follow the senior to practice."

Yu Ye's words were full of awe for Liu Feng. It was a rare opportunity to meet such a powerful True Buddha. If he could seek refuge with him, the bottleneck in his practice that he had originally had no hope for might be broken.

Once you take one more step forward and reach perfection in the ninth realm, you will become a martial immortal.

It’s a pity that due to his limited qualifications, there are too many people like him who have reached the ninth level of perfection and died with regret because of this one step difference.

Yu Zhenzi sat by the window with a sullen face, his eyes changing several times.

"What kind of acquaintance is this? I once chased him and beat him up!"

Of course he didn't say this out loud. He recalled what happened in the great world, and even if he said it out loud, it might be hard for others to believe it.

Yu Ye and his gang of ruffians wanted to curry favor with Liu Feng, and he also wanted to, but based on what he and Yu Qiongzi knew about Liu Feng, it was impossible for Liu Feng to truly accept them.

What is the nature of the loyal person? Does he have any ulterior motives? How could Liu Mo, who has been scheming and plotting against others all the way, not have his own judgment?

If something unexpected happens, Liu Feng will definitely abandon most of his people and use his subordinates as scapegoats, and will only take a very small number of useful people with him.

"I was asked to hand this thing over to him without asking. Anyway, I have not been able to crack it these days, so I just gave it to him. Otherwise, it would be too unworthy to wait for Yu Qiongzi to hand it over and be hated by the Willow Demon."

"Yuqiongzi went to look for her clone, and I don't know what the situation is..."

While he was thinking, there was a whistling sound in the corridor. The door of the house and the formation were shaken violently, and a trace of evil energy came in through the door.

"The evil cultivators have attacked here?" Yu Zhenzi stood up suddenly, his eyes inevitably nervous.

I have personally experienced the power of evil immortals before. If Liu Feng had not taken action, they would have been refined in the blink of an eye.

"Brothers, guard the door well and do not allow evil ways to disturb the practice of the seniors."

Yu Ye led a group of brothers to block the door without hesitation. It seemed that they were brave, but their eyes were rolling around, and they were actually panicking inside.

But soon, a calm voice came from behind them.

"Open the door and step aside. Someone is testing my cultivation level. I am trying to drive them here. I am also short of blood food. The more True Immortals that come, the better."

"The more the merrier?"

Yu Ye and other warriors were shocked by Liu Feng's strength and frightened by the murderous intent in Liu Feng's words. They bravely opened the guest room's protective formation, and just when they retreated halfway, the whistling cold wind seemed to have found an outlet and rushed into the guest room.

In the yin energy, evil spirits were flying around, and more than twenty pale figures were looming.

Dozens of spiritual treasures and four real weapons flew out of the negative energy and headed straight for the formation where the guest room window was, apparently trying to break through the formation and escape.

Of course, there was no reason for these evil spirits and evil cultivators to let go of any living creatures in the guest room.

The figure sitting cross-legged on the bed disappeared, and the entire room was instantly filled with golden Sanskrit.

The Fierce Power of Buddha is the forbidden method in the "Dharmakaya Sutra" of the Cangtu Temple, but the skills are still below the level of True Buddha.

Even so, when Sanskrit was spread all over the guest rooms, the nineteen ninth-level and half-immortals were frozen in the yin energy, and the four true immortals were like being trapped in a net and unable to move.

"Stronger than the perfection of true Buddha!" ​​Four pairs of eyes glanced sideways.

They fled here in a hurry, and encountering a real Buddha was not enough to make them lose their minds. If the real Buddha was perfect, at least two people could escape, but the Buddha power of the person before them was unusually strong.

The two huge white bone hands enlarged in the eyes of the four people. The Buddha's power they brought with them was indeed stronger than that of many true Buddhas. It made people wonder if it was a Half-Step Venerable who failed to break through to the Venerable realm.

There were four muffled sounds, each of which contained hundreds of overlapping sounds. These were the self-defense measures that the four True Immortals desperately used, but they were all broken during the fight.

When the huge skeletal hand was retracted, the negative energy in the guest room dissipated, and all the evil spirits and evil cultivators disappeared.

All that could be used were taken away by Liu Feng. The evil cultivators were fed to the Dongxu Divine Weapon, and the evil spirits were suppressed into the Huangquan Pagoda.

Liu Feng swept away all the evil cultivators and looked outside the corridor. There was no immortal there, only a man and a woman, looking at this side with serious expressions.

"Such young royal blood, the man has reached the ninth realm perfection, the woman is in the early stage of True Immortal, and this woman has a good inheritance and a divine weapon... It can barely be considered a divine weapon."

Noticing Liu Feng's gaze, the men and women in the corridor had the illusion that they were seen through, but given their identities, they would never think that this was an illusion.

A woman in a black dress decorated with flowers walked quickly over and removed the veil from her face, revealing her pretty face with a weak expression.

The man following closely behind put away his usual laziness and looked kind.

The two of them came to the guest room. The seemingly weak woman bowed and said softly, "My name is Hua Yuerong, and this is my brother Hua Wuyou. Thank you for helping my chamber of commerce get rid of the evil cultivators. I hope you will accept these gifts as a token of appreciation."

As she spoke, the woman glanced around the guest room and was shocked to find that there was no trace of a fight and the formation was intact.

In other words, the four evil immortals driven over by Old Shi were completely powerless against this person.

She had only seen such a powerful True Buddha in major sects. When a True Buddha was perfect, he could fight against a Half-Step Venerable from the outside world.

The man in front of him obviously did not use his full strength. He did not perform any True Buddha-level skills, nor did he use any external objects. It was not difficult to see that the skills inherited from the Cangtuo Temple were just used to cover up.

She was secretly frightened, and her brother Hua Wuyou behind her was also shocked, suspecting that he had encountered the true Buddha from a major religion or family.

"Sister, do you want to test this man again?" Hua Wuyou saw her sister approaching within three steps of the man in front of her under the pretext of giving a gift.

His elder sister inherited a skill of controlling corpses, and the inherited item can detect people's bodies.

Liu Feng looked at the brother and sister expressionlessly, without looking at them for long, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally falling towards the corridor outside.

"Is that old man proud of his status, or is he trying to prevent me from seeing through his true colors?"

He turned his gaze to the woman who was approaching. She had clearly become a true immortal, yet she looked weak.

The two looked at each other, the woman responded with a gentle smile and handed over the jade box in her hand.

Liu Feng was not polite either. He swept away the four jade boxes with his sleeves and pointed out in a deliberately impatient tone: "I am just passing by and taking a ride. I am not interested in your chamber of commerce's mineral veins. There is no need to explore further."

"This matter is still my fault. I was presumptuous. Please forgive me if I have offended you. Please accept this jade token. From now on, no matter which region you are in, you can take my merchant ship even when you go out to sea. I will not charge you any spiritual objects."

"There is also this jade cylinder, which contains the secrets of the ruins in various regions collected by our Chamber of Commerce, as well as the places where the Chamber of Commerce's merchant ships dock to pick up passengers."

Hua Yuerong bowed again, looked at Liu Feng with her beautiful eyes, and handed over a jade token of the Chamber of Commerce and a jade slip.

Liu Feng bowed, returned the gift perfunctorily, and casually put away the two things the other party handed over.

Seeing him like this, the brother and sister didn't want to stay any longer. After exchanging a few polite words, they turned around and left the guest room.

As the two stepped out of the guest room, the door closed behind them.

After walking a distance, Hua Wuyou chuckled and said, "Sister, could it be that you have taken a fancy to that guy? She has given you so many gifts that he almost threw himself into his arms."

"If you don't mind being such a talented person, I would be happy to stay by your side." Hua Yuerong's voice was soft and pleasant.

The brother and sister sounded well-intentioned in their conversation, and the young master of the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce even expressed his willingness to sacrifice his life to follow them. However, there was only indifference in their eyes, and they were communicating through voice transmission at the same time.

"Sister, what is the level of this person? Is he from a big sect or a big family? If he doesn't have a big background, our Chamber of Commerce might be able to take him in. The merchant ship was badly damaged by the evil immortal, so we have to find a way to repair it."

"The True Buddha is perfect, but his Buddha power is far superior to that of his peers. I have just explored his body, and I cannot see the details, but the skills he practices should come from a great sect or clan. Also... this person is less than 3,000 years old, and may even be younger."

"The True Buddha who is less than 3,000 years old is perfect?"

The siblings have several immortals in their family, as well as Buddhist masters, so they are knowledgeable.

If a family intends to cultivate a direct descendant, and this direct descendant has good aptitude and understanding, one thousand five hundred years will be enough for him to become an immortal.

But even if they put all their family's efforts into it, they would never be able to come up with such a great opportunity to push an early True Immortal to perfection in another 1,500 years, because the advancement to the level of Immortals and Buddhas is too difficult.

When the two went to report to Mr. Shi, they were in the guest room at the back.

Those who guessed the identities of the siblings, such as warriors like Yu Ye, were all filled with admiration.

Lei Xiaolu's face looked a little strange. She had heard everything the brother and sister said without hiding anything just now. It turned out that they were having an affair with Liu Feng.

After an inner struggle, Yu Zhenzi took out a storage ring and presented it to Liu Feng respectfully.

"This is what Wu Ti asked me to pass on to Daoist Fellow Liu. Yu Qiongzi also has one. I suspected a trick before and was worried that Daoist Fellow Liu might be harmed. But now seeing Daoist Liu's strength, he should be able to handle it easily."

Liu Feng looked at Yu Zhenzi meaningfully, and only when Yu Zhenzi trembled did he withdraw his gaze.

He didn't need to think too much to realize that if Yu Zhenzi had the ability to get the things in the ring, he would have embezzled them long ago.

Without paying attention to Yu Zhenzi's little thoughts, Liu Feng turned towards the bed.

He put the Chamber of Commerce's jade token into his inner world. He explored the jade tube with his spiritual consciousness. The secrets of the ruins in various regions were useful to him, including the ruins of Pingtian Palace.

"The lineage of the Poison Hall of Pingtian Palace... the strange insect that seeks souls... should be the ninth strange insect that I planted."

While looking through the secrets of the ruins, he used the power of Buddha to infuse the ring for storing objects and broke the restrictions set by Wu Ti.

As expected, the subsequent techniques of the "Tathagata Sutra" are in the storage space, and there is also a photo mirror.

He casually took out the mirror and sent a ray of Buddha's power into it. An extremely dirty scene suddenly appeared on the mirror surface, a twisting vortex of dirt.

In that whirlpool that looked like mud, countless bones were spinning with it, and ninety percent of them were broken bones.

He just wanted to take it out to look at it, but when the picture on the mirror showed and changed to the second smaller picture, Liu Feng and Lei Xiaolu, who was standing nearby, were both stunned.

In the second picture, in a corner of the whirlpool, there is a body that is different from the others. It is not just broken bones, nor is it just a corpse, but it has all its flesh and skin intact.

The body was incomplete, and the dirt had retreated wherever it was, with no broken bones left. But the head was intact, with long hair draped over the shoulders and a Taoist hat on his head, and his appearance was strikingly similar to Liu Feng.
