The Ascension of the Evil Path: Starting from Refining Gu

A white crescent moon is hanging in the sky, under the moonlight.

There was silence all around. The ground near the gap was covered with corpses of evil spirits. In the distance, there were mountains that rose and fell, and the mountains were huge. The ground that came into view seemed to be covered with rotten flesh and blood, showing a deep, dry black color.

Liu Feng crossed the gap in space and landed on the top of a nearby mountain. The flesh and blood on his body squirmed, and dead insects were squeezed out of his body.

The parasitic poisonous insects in his flesh and blood, some of which were newly born, were still too young to withstand the moonlight.

"The white moonlight has no effect on me, but the vitality here is fading much faster than in the virtual world."

Liu Feng glanced at Shen Yin and found that the woman was frowning. It seemed that her situation was much more difficult than his.

Both of them were looking at this place and adjusting to the feeling which was so different from the past.

"This is the transition from falsehood to reality! Where is Fellow Daoist Liu going? We'd better leave as soon as possible. I feel uneasy." Shen Yin said in a deep voice.

A former leader is feeling uneasy, even if there is no disaster ahead, it still means great disaster.

Liu Feng nodded and said, "We need to go east and explore the ruins on this land along the way."

They had some speculations in their minds, but after all, they knew nothing. This place was likely to be a place where the Great Dao was complete, so they couldn't help but be curious.

If we want to uncover the mystery, we will come into contact with all kinds of secrets sooner or later. Now that we have the opportunity to come in, we can't help but investigate.

The two men swept their gazes across the barren and black earth, with divine light flashing in their eyes. They looked towards the distance of four thousand miles, where they could see a ruin backed by mountains.

The others were also watching. Yuwen Shangwu, who came first, took the lead and moved closer.

Liu Feng stared at the madman's back and realized that his bloodline was growing stronger and stronger, and that the blood of ancient gods and demons had been integrated into his veins.

Yuwen Shangwu is a man with a deep obsession, and he is extremely eager for opportunities and spiritual objects. After he became mentally ill, his obsession became even worse than before.

He moved his feet and flew out with Shen Yin.

In the rear, the Taoist master Chengxian, the deputy palace master of Yongye Palace, the elders from the Xiang and Sima families who were exploring the way, and many immortals and Buddhas from small clans followed after some hesitation.

Everyone didn't know as much as Liu Feng, but they were all shocked and had their own speculations, and they all wanted to find out the truth.

Dong Huangxuan, Ao Rong and other Dongxu Taoists were left behind. They wanted to curry favor with Liu Feng and seek refuge, but they were afraid of several prospective leaders who had ill intentions towards Liu Feng and worried about being implicated.

After flying over four thousand miles, everyone was in a trance along the way. They always felt that the world they were in at the moment was familiar, as if they originally belonged to this world, yet it looked strange to them.

What was even more strange was that their souls and bodies all instinctively resisted this place, just like snow seeing the scorching sun, fearing that it might disappear at any time.

The hundred or so people who came over first were all immortals or above. Within two breaths, the slowest person could cross four thousand miles.

The ruins, backed by the continuous mountains, are right in front of you: the mountain gate, palaces, furnaces, fragments of magic weapons... everything has decayed into mud, blended with the mountains and the earth, and can only be vaguely distinguished.

"This place should have been a weapon refining sect in the past." Liu Feng came to the mountain gate, and the words on it were no longer clear.

Going inside the mountain gate, in addition to the human figures that have decayed into mud, there are also corpses that have become dry, hard and black. They all look peaceful in death, as if they were still doing their own things before they died.

In other words, these people died in an instant and had no time to react, leaving their bodies intact.

Looking at the sect's ruins extending for thousands of miles into the mountains, it is obvious that in the virtual world, there must be at least a quasi-leader in charge of such a situation, but the entire sect was killed together.

The people from various families flew along the ruins and then approached a mountain wall that was more than ten thousand feet high. The foul air was the thickest there. A madman in an imperial robe was digging something at the foot of the mountain.

On the other side of the cliff, there was another evil spirit possessed by chains wandering around, seemingly trying to come over, but it did not get close.

Liu Feng landed a thousand feet away from the mountain wall, and like everyone else, watched Yuwen Dianzi.

"If this place is a corner of the real fairyland, and the virtual world was born for reflection, then the sects in this area belong to ancient times or even more distant times. But looking at the ruins, it doesn't seem like they have gone through such a long time." Shen Yin looked at the mummies on the ground, many of which still had intact bodies.

Liu Feng's eyes were deep, and he said calmly: "If the virtual world can be fake, then the time we have experienced cannot also be fake?"

He had half of a time array plate on his body and had also comprehended the way of time. He knew that this great road was obscured and only the being whose body Daoxuzi possessed could master it.

All living beings believe that the world has gone through millions of years, from the ancient times to the present day, but the actual number of years may be entirely controlled by others.

Goddess Shenyin suddenly stared at Liu Feng, and her mood was once again shaken by Liu Feng's speculation.

"I will sincerely help you return to the top in the future. I hope that one day we can walk together to the end and see the truth of this world." Shen Yin steady his mind while transmitting the message.

Liu Feng remained noncommittal and remained skeptical about what the woman said.

At this time, Yuwen Shangwu dug out something from the ground. There was no spirituality, no willpower or immortal spirit. It seemed to be an artifact that recorded the method of refining equipment.

No one went up to fight for it, but when everyone wanted to see what this madman would do next, his figure turned into a flash of sword light and retreated.

Most people didn't have time to react. Among the hundreds of figures from various families, thirty immortals suddenly lost control and were sucked towards the mountain wall.

"Is there any restriction left in the mountain wall?"

"It's an evil aura, and inside is an inner world."

"Did this madman trigger the ban or awaken the evil spirit?"

Several of the evil spirits released by the Taoist master Chengxian were sucked away. Amid the angry rebukes from various families, most of the immortals were rescued.

It was a pity that the seven immortals and Buddhas who came from small families in the ruins, along with an evil spirit, disappeared into the mountain wall together.

Yuwen Shangwu retreated behind the crowd, with a mocking look on his face, ignoring the angry looks of others, and waved his fingers in the air.

The sword lights formed a formation and rolled towards the mountain wall.

The Taoist Chengxian lost one of his men, and with a gloomy face, he also took action to deploy a Taoist formation.

Amid the turbid air surging, a nauseating scene was imprinted on the mountain wall behind the sword formation.

The rocks melted away layer by layer, revealing the evil flesh and blood that blocked the spiritual consciousness, and a large amount of rotten spiritual objects mixed in the flesh and blood.

Along with the fluctuation of the void, the entrance to an inner world was forcibly opened, and there was indeed an inner world hidden inside.

"Is there a complete inner world?" Liu Feng looked puzzled.

Everyone's eyes moved in and they saw an inner world that was about 40,000 miles wide. They could clearly see that the front half of the inner world was covered with void cracks.

This was indeed an inner world that should have collapsed long ago. What one could see were lines of evil flesh and blood extending for thousands of miles, connecting the sky and the earth, patching up the inner world.

The immortal being that was pulled in was immediately wrapped in evil flesh and blood, and his body fell apart.

In the center where all the evil flesh and blood converge, a thousand-foot-tall refining furnace stands tall, and a huge human face embedded in the furnace is opening its eyes.

The moment it opened its eyes, the evil flesh and blood in the entire world began to wriggle, and countless precious lights lit up in the flesh and blood, all of which were extremely filthy.

Countless magical weapons and restrictions are in operation, with the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth having the most restrictions, followed by wind, thunder and ice. Various methods such as soul, geomagnetism, sword formation and even the void have evolved from the restrictions.

The evil spirit's flesh and blood withered, and the magic power in the sky roared towards the many living people in front of the cliff.

"You are a quasi-leader-level evil spirit that has grown from the leader's corpse. You are so weak yet you dare to eat my men. I will refine you first."

The Taoist Chengxian snorted coldly, twisted his body into a snake, and flew towards the thousand-foot furnace towards the magic door in the sky.

When the immortals with one body in each family fled, the immortals with two bodies or more had gleams of light in their eyes.

For a sect like this that has collected various methods and engraved them into prohibitions and magic weapons, one can imagine how profound its foundation is. Any sect here can benefit from it, and the Taoist disciples of Dongxu Island can also comprehend the way of void.

The deputy palace master of Yongye Palace, Yuwen Shangwu, was only slightly slower than the immortal Taoist priest and went around to both sides. Liu Feng and Shen Yin cut off the evil flesh and blood that blocked their way and approached the furnace from below.

To his surprise, a ball of yin energy flew over from afar. It turned out to be the soul of Luo Sheng, who had been hiding for many years.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, after careful consideration, I still trust you as a person. Regardless of whether you go to Hunxianze or not, please don't make things difficult for me right now."

Luo Shenghun, who was transmitting the message to Liu Feng in the Yin Qi, had both spirit, soul and body intact, and had even reached the perfect state of the second-body immortal. It was obvious that he had put in a lot of effort over the years.

But compared to this kid Liu Feng, if he starts fighting, relying on his experience at the leader level and his secret techniques from the past, he, Luo Shenghun, the supreme elder of the Huangquan Sect, can only escape today.

Old Ghost Luo only regretted that he had not obtained many spiritual objects and that his recovery was too slow. Otherwise, he would have taken the Shenyin soul beside Liu Feng at all costs.

This kind of soul is most suitable for the Huangquan Sect's skills and is a rare opportunity. It can not only greatly nourish his body, but also be used to refine him into a Yin slave.

As a former leader of the same sect, the Goddess Shenyin, who was flying in front, felt something and could sense Luo Shenghun's malicious intent. Her beautiful eyes turned cold and she glanced at Luo Laogui vaguely.

They are all cultivators who practice Yin Qi cultivation. She used to practice corpse cultivation, but she was still restrained by the Huangquan Sect.

If it weren't for the fact that her Taoist painting brush was still being cultivated, she would have hunted this old ghost down to death.

Liu Feng turned a deaf ear, as if he didn't hear Luo Laogui's message. There was no need to consume his essence by refining the Yin Mirror. Black marks flashed in front of him, and the space in front of him seemed to be divided into dozens or hundreds of parts.

The evil flesh and blood that was blocking the way was cut off and separated to both sides by the void barrier.

His movement was calm, and ripples were generated in the void around him. In a few steps, he crossed half of the inner world, broke through the furnace, and rushed into the furnace with Shen Yin one after the other.

The furnace is divided into large and small chambers, each with more restrictions.

The two did not delay in one place and acted separately. Liu Feng went straight to the furnace room with the void restriction.

"Woooooooo..."

"Pengpeng..."

The furnace shook, tens of thousands of wailing sounds overlapped, and raging flames filled the furnace.

But those who dared to enter the furnace had their own support, and the furnace fire and restrictions would refine outsiders who broke in, and there was nothing they could do.

In a short while, when the second-level immortals or above of each family had left the inner world, the thousand-foot furnace behind them collapsed, the flesh and blood of the evil spirits that were mending the world withered and died, and the entire inner world was shattered.

Liu Feng and Shen Yin met up, each holding a bone in their hands, which was the leader's bone that looked like a fire crystal.

Although this bone cannot resist the loss of vitality, it can dissolve some of the pollution from turbid air.

"A piece of the leader's bone can only slightly dissolve some of the pollution, but it is better than nothing."

As Liu Feng spoke, he looked towards the other side of the mountain wall. The four-headed, two-bodied evil spirit possessed by chains was slowly approaching, wanting to get a piece of the pie as well.

Looking closer, these evil humanoids look more and more like prisoners controlled by someone, with visible scars of punishment on their bodies.

"The evil behind these prisoners is definitely not at the level of an ordinary cult leader!"

Liu Feng didn't look at it any further and turned his gaze to the east.

If you go straight east, you will see mountains ahead and thick turbid air, which will give you a bad omen from afar. There may be many powerful evil spirits among them.

Shen Yin saw his concerns and said softly, "Why not go south around the mountain to the east, and by the way, you can find out where the border of this area is."

Liu Feng nodded in agreement. He actually wanted to explore the border to see if this place was a broken corner of the real fairyland.

Since the virtual world is a reflection, the real fairyland should be similar in size to the virtual world. One corner will not be too big. With the cultivation level of the two immortal bodies, one can see the whole world in a few days, provided that the journey is smooth and unobstructed.

When he and Shen Yin were circling south, all the families chose to go around the mountain without any prior agreement.

Even the few Taoist masters in the immortal cave who were following at the end all had complicated expressions at this moment, and they all vaguely guessed that they were touching the secrets between heaven and earth.

Faced with such a secret that even the leaders of the sect desire, they would not regret their trip today even if all the believers in the inner world died.

As they headed south up Rao Mountain, the mountains beside them began to shake and their sights moved into the mountains. In addition to the evil spirits in the ravines, the mountaintops themselves were also evil spirits, or had merged with the evil spirits.

Whether crying or laughing, sad or grieving, it is taller than mountains thousands or tens of thousands of feet high, and it shows all the emotions and desires like a living being, and carries the obsessions of countless sentient beings.

Just when they thought they could avoid danger by not entering the mountain, everyone felt a bad omen in their hearts. Those who had reached the perfect state of Buddhist saints could vaguely foresee the catastrophe of death.

"Buzz..."

Among the continuous mountains, a large area of ​​mountains suddenly collapsed. Upon closer inspection, it was found that they were not mountains at all, but a swarm of insects.

Dozens of mountains turned into clouds of insects that covered the sky, covering the foreign immortals and Buddhas outside the mountains.

"They are all rotten empty shells, dead insects contaminated by evil things." Liu Feng himself is a rare dual-body immortal Gu Master, and he saw something strange at a glance.

The cloud of insects spread over a hundred miles, and in the blink of an eye it spread out another six or seven thousand miles, like a black tide pouring down from the sky.

The dead silence and filthy space just a moment ago was suddenly filled with the roar of water.

Liu Feng sneered as he glanced at the people from different families who were fleeing. The more people there were in the same group, the more people would be able to share the danger when encountering such a situation.

Many people had evil intentions towards him and coveted the two great weapons in his possession. The misfortune he encountered was also a result of karma.

He mobilized the strange Gu in his body, and the void in front of him fluctuated violently, and a void channel opened. However, in order to prevent it from being interrupted by powerful evil spirits midway, the void channel he opened only connected to 20,000 to 30,000 miles away.

Even so, he was still able to escape the fastest among those present. With someone covering his back, the cloud of insects would not fall on him.

Stepping into the void passage together with Goddess Yin Shen, the two disappeared in front of the insect cloud in the blink of an eye.

Even a quasi-leader cannot cross 20,000 or 30,000 miles in one breath. No matter how fast his escape technique is, it is still a little slower than Liu Feng.

Sword formations were spinning around Yuwen Shangwu, he was cursing angrily and staring at the direction where Liu Feng left with red eyes.

In his confused memory, the scene where Liu the thief escaped and left him in misfortune was extremely familiar.

As the insect swarm behind continued to roar, the two people fleeing in the front passed through space one after another.

Perhaps it was because the territory here was long and narrow, but when one went about 250,000 miles to the south, the boundary that was not illuminated by the white moonlight was already faintly visible.

The end of the south is the void, or to be more precise, true nothingness. There is no light at all, only endless darkness.

Liu Feng walked out of the void passage and looked at Shen Yin, seeing the horror in each other's eyes.

This place is a collapsed corner of the intact avenue, which has almost been confirmed.

However, when approaching ten thousand miles, in the darkness beyond the moonlight, somewhere along the border to the east, a line of turbid fire burned, which looked like lanterns from a distance.

There was a road under the firelight, with countless dry black figures and many deformed evil spirits crawling around, creating a road of corpses extending into the darkness.

When he saw this road, Liu Feng first thought of the Tongxu Road he had taken to come to the Void Realm. The two were very similar, but the one in front of him was much larger.

With their minds shaken, the two flew forward along the border. The Taoist Master Chengxian and the Deputy Palace Master of Yongye Palace, who arrived a few breaths behind them, were also attracted.

"Dangdang...dangdang..."

The turbid fire, evil spirits, and the road of corpses came closer in my sight, and the sound of moving chains was heard. The evil spirit that seemed to be the overseer on the road also had chains parasitic on its body.
