The Ascension of the Evil Path: Starting from Refining Gu

Outside the Hunxianze, day after day, the mudflow over a million miles wide was growing larger.

At least half of the major forces came from the seven realms and four seas of the virtual world, as well as the Beginningless Heaven and the Endless Heaven, and the major clans and sects in all major regions, and the smaller forces were countless.

Surprisingly, no sect leader came here in person. Many immortals and Buddhas guessed that the sect leaders were all preparing to go to the Heaven Beyond Heaven. In recent years, major forces have been collecting natural treasures to refine treasures, and have sent elders to the Heaven Beyond Heaven to inquire.

The original celestial demon has descended upon the world, poisoning all living things. Coupled with all sorts of strange phenomena and great changes, it can be seen that this catastrophe is unprecedentedly dangerous. Even the leader can only go to the Heaven Beyond Heaven to give it a try and find a way to survive.

On this day, in front of the exit of Hunxianze.

In front of the exits of mud caves of varying sizes, each family was still hunting down the Immortals as usual.

In front of an exit that is more than 40 miles in size, a magic weapon shaped like a giant basin is hung high. Water tornadoes rush out of the basin, rolling down the immortals above.

The Jiang family sat down around the treasure basin, using the immortal spirits in the basin to make elixirs and treasures. The head of the family, Jiang Ming, and all the elders took part in the process personally.

Less than three thousand years have passed in the virtual world, and the Jiang family has twelve more second-body immortal elders.

During the great catastrophe, changes occurred in various regions, secret realms and caves emerged one after another, and the spiritual objects provided for cultivation have increased several times over the past few thousand years. The great principles that immortals and Buddhas can realize are also becoming clearer.

Suddenly, a white shadow flashed in front of the exit of Hunxianze above, and the ancestor Jiang Qingxuan landed next to the head of the family Jiang Ming.

Without saying a word, Jiang Qingxuan activated the Black Water Basin and led all the tribesmen to escape from the spot and fly ten thousand miles away.

When the head of the Jiang family and the clansmen looked back, they saw a large number of phantoms pouring out of more than 30 exits of varying sizes near the exit they had been at before.

There are more than tens of thousands of phantoms with constantly changing shapes, faces, and figures. There are men, women, young and old, and they are the original celestial demons.

The Jiang family left in time, but there were still dozens of forces led by Wuzhun leaders in the original place. Before they could react, they encountered the group of primitive demons.

There was chaos in an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles, and many monks went crazy and killed each other.

Ten thousand miles away, in front of another exit, the Jiang clan members had solemn expressions on their faces. It was estimated that dozens of forces would be destroyed because of this wave of demons on this day alone.

The head of the family, Jiang Ming, looked worried and whispered, "After entering Hunxianze, did the ancestor get in touch with the queen?"

Jiang Qingxuan shook his head and said, "I have gone to the deeper layers but still failed to find the Queen. She must have left the Primal Chaos Realm. If I want to trace back to the source, it will be very dangerous for me to go forward alone."

Upon hearing this, the elders and direct descendants of the clan could not help but feel worried.

Six hundred years ago, Goddess Shenyin said that she wanted to go deep into Hunxianze, and she has not come out in the past six hundred years.

The two people, one inside and one outside Hunxianze, could not communicate with each other, and they only knew that Niangniang Shenyin was still alive.

"In a hundred years at most, if the queen still doesn't come out, I will have no choice but to go to the Heaven Beyond Heaven by myself. The closer I get there, the more complete the avenue I see. Only then will I be able to take the last step." Jiang Qingxuan said in a deep voice.

The faces of the Jiang family members became increasingly heavy. They knew that the old ancestor had been in charge of the clan for many years and had missed many opportunities for them, so they did not want to ask him to stay.

It is not easy to become a sect leader. Nowadays, all the truly useful benefits in Hunxianze have been intercepted by the big sects, and the remaining scraps are useless to the ancestor of the Jiang family who is at the level of a sect leader.

At present, there are no other sufficient opportunities in the world, so I can only venture into the outer world.

When everyone was worried, the Jiang family's eldest elder's eyes changed slightly. He took out a magic weapon for transmitting sound, and after listening to the sound transmission, he showed hesitation.

The head of the family, Jiang Ming, noticed that the elder was acting strangely and asked, "If you have something to say, just say it."

The great elder pointed to a certain direction and explained, "It was the inheritor of the Insect Temple under Liu Feng who sent me a message saying that two Gu Immortals they wanted to capture had fled here and wanted my clan to help intercept them."

The Jiang clan members around all looked serious and did not ignore it.

In recent years, Liu Feng's forces have become increasingly powerful, and many immortals and Buddhas have been born, with even more believers under them.

In comparison, the number of immortals and Buddhas is not as large as that of the big sects and clans, but the number of disciples and believers above the eight realms who have gathered together is no less than that of the big sects and clans.

As for the reason, Liu Xiaoxiao's original evil spirit has taken a step further and cultivated to the level of a quasi-leader, which is only one of the reasons. The one who really gathered people's hearts is Liu Feng, who is also the master of the Insect Temple in the virtual world.

In recent years, someone has dug up Liu Feng's past, saying that Liu Feng is the reincarnation of a powerful being and that his incarnation in his previous life had become a Buddha.

It was also reported that Liu Feng had killed several quasi-leader-level foreign monks in the depths of Hunxianze, and had a head-on confrontation with the leader's incarnation.

There are even rumors that the fourth generation dragon ancestor of the North Sea, the true leader-level body, actually died at the hands of Liu Feng.

It is rumored that today, the master of the Insect Temple is as prestigious as or even superior to the other sect leaders.

Patriarch Jiang Ming glanced at the ancestor, and when he saw the ancestor nodded slightly, he asked, "What is the cultivation level of the Gu Immortal they captured? Is there any big sect backing them up?"

“It is said that they are just two immortals. The two female masters were once elders of Qingxiao Palace. Later, for some unknown reason, their masters rebelled against Qingxiao Palace and their whereabouts are unknown. Now they should have no other backers.” The great elder replied.

"Just two immortals, you and the Third Elder..."

The head of the family, Jiang Ming, was just about to ask the first elder and the third elder to go over, but Jiang Qingxuan interrupted him halfway through his words by waving his hand.

The old ancestor turned his head and looked towards the other entrance of Hunxianze. The others were afraid of the group of demons and did not dare to enter Hunxianze for the time being. However, there was a group of people from the Nine Realms rushing in.

In a situation like this, usually only a major sect would send its soldiers in to investigate, otherwise it would be a bit unusual.

Before the head of the family and others could make a careful distinction, their ancestor actually took action himself.

One step can cover more than seven thousand miles. Although the ancestor has not taken that step, he has been improving over the years and is much stronger than before in the ancient battlefield ruins.

After a few steps, Jiang Qingxuan flicked his sleeves and directly swept away two people from the hundred and nine realms.

When he walked back, he shook his sleeves, and two sloppy men were thrown in front of the great elder, with the cultivation level of the ninth realm.

Surrounded by a prospective leader and a group of two-bodied immortals, the two men looked miserable. They knew they were exposed, but they dared not say a word as they were threatened.

"Why don't you open your inner world? The seed poison planted in your body comes from an immortal. With our ancestors here, you can't die."

Under the spiritual pressure of the Jiang clan's great elder, the two big men opened up their inner worlds as instructed.

The inner world opened up, and the real masters hidden inside, the two fairy Gu Immortals, admitted their defeat and walked out obediently.

One of the two women was wearing feathered clothes and looked like a woman, while the other was dressed in tights and had a heroic look. They were Sikong Dujiao and Qin Zhilan, two direct disciples of Yunmeng, who had fought with Liu Feng in the past.

At this time, there was a loud whimpering sound below Hunxianze, and dark clouds flew in from all directions.

From a distance I thought they were some evil sect of immortals and Buddhas, but when I got closer I realized they were all Buddhist practitioners, and there were swarms of evil spirits following them like shadows.

As many as thirty-eight Buddhist masters and one saint, a total of thirty-nine Buddhas arrived, all of whom were the masters of the Xiu Chong Temple to pass on their skills.

In recent years, there have been many rumors about the fight over the Insect Temple. As the master of the Insect Temple became stronger, the temple became increasingly mysterious, and Buddhist practitioners from all sides could not help but be tempted.

The thirty-nine Buddhas came closer and first bowed to the Jiang family members, then turned their gazes to the two female Gu Masters.

"Come with us to see the Virgin Mary." The leading saint had a kind face, but the words he said made the two women feel cold all over.

The two girls who were trapped in the middle by the elders of Jiang family almost lost their minds when they heard the word "Holy Mother".

Ever since the Holy Mother Yanyou with a child's face came to take charge of Liu Feng's forces, she has harmed countless people, and there must be hundreds of immortals and Buddhas who have been eaten alive by her.

What is even more miserable is that his life is worse than death, and he is turned into an evil spirit by Liu Xiaoxiao.

Qin Zhilan tried hard to suppress her fear, but Sikong Dujiao couldn't bear it and looked at the Jiang clan members around her.

She didn't know the relationship between the Jiang family and Liu Feng, but as long as she didn't fall into Liu Xiaoxiao's hands, it would be fine. She said anxiously: "They arrested me to find the whereabouts of my master, but my master... that bitch is hiding, and we have no idea where she is."

“The old villain Yunmeng was very lucky. Before she disappeared, she secretly drugged us and told us to hide in different secret places. Later we found out that she used us as bait to ward off disaster for her.” The Jiang clan members’ eyes lit up when they heard this. The evil Buddha surrounded by thirty-nine evil spirits became grim and terrifying, his eyes staring straight at the two women.

The leading saint took a step forward, and two Yellow Springs sacred trees shot out from his flesh and blood, ready to take the two women away directly.

Jiang Qingxuan waved his sleeves to shake off the Yellow Springs Divine Tree and said calmly, "I have some friendship with Daoist Fellow Liu, and I also know the Holy Mother of Yanyou. I may be able to help with this matter."

The matter is very likely related to Liu Xiaoxiao, or even Liu Feng behind her. When he heard the words "Yunmeng" and "great fortune", with the spiritual power of Quasi-Master Jiang Qingxuan, he could deduce a possibility that is almost close to the truth.

One of them is that Yunmeng benefited from Liu Feng, or has a connection with Liu Feng.

If he could capture Yunmeng in advance, instead of robbing this great fortune, he could just take part of it and give the rest to Liu Xiaoxiao. In this way, he would not offend Liu Feng too much.

"My clan is an orthodox Taoist, and I know a thing or two about deduction. They are causally related to Yun Meng, so I will use them to deduce something."

Jiang Qingxuan thought he had given Liu Feng and Liu Xiaoxiao enough face by explaining things to the younger generation as the quasi-leader.

As he spoke, two streams of fire flew out from his palms, instantly covering the two women and turning them into ashes on the spot, leaving only two souls.

As the ancestor of the clan and the quasi-leader of the older generation, he would certainly not be a merciful person.

After refining all the medicinal energy from the two women's bodies, Jiang Qingxuan turned over a Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams plate and deduced the source of the medicinal energy.

This was not enough, he raised his hand and grabbed the two female souls from the air and wanted to refine their souls.

The two women who were about to die, one felt hopeless and the other regretted deeply.

No one who is related to Liu Feng is a good person. Liu Xiaoxiao used people to refine evil spirits. The old immortal who was friends with Liu Feng looked kind and was going to refine them alive in the blink of an eye.

The thirty-nine inheritors of the Insect Temple looked on with heavy faces and watched coldly, unable to stop this scene. They could only secretly send messages to report to Her Majesty the Virgin.

"Stop first. I don't know the whereabouts of our master, but based on my understanding of her, I can roughly guess where she might be." Qin Zhilan suddenly used her spiritual consciousness to inform the surrounding practitioners.

In just the time it took to say this one sentence, Qin Zhilan, who had spoken, was alive, but Sikong Dujiao, who had not given any useful clues, was almost completely killed, with half of her soul being consumed in the raging fire.

The reason why it was not completely refined was not because Jiang Qingxuan showed mercy, but because he refined a ray of powerful divine energy in the soul of this woman, which was definitely not what this woman should have.

"Hey, this is..."

Jiang Qingxuan picked up a wisp of green divine energy and felt it was heavy. This heaviness came from spiritual pressure.

After probing into the divine consciousness and making a brief deduction, he knew the cause and effect between this wisp of divine energy and Liu Feng.

"So that's how it is. It's the divine essence of the former national master. Yun Meng got a part of the national master's body, including the most important head."

A leader like Daoxuzi who ranks among the top few in the world, even if he failed to ascend to heaven and his soul is gone, there will be divine energy left. After all, it has been accumulated for millions of years, and the vastness of his divine energy is hard to imagine for immortals and Buddhas.

Such a great fortune would make the leader, who has accumulated little, excited, and Jiang Qingxuan was also excited.

His eyes were fixed on Qin Zhilan's soul. When he was about to ask further questions, Jiang Qingxuan suddenly frowned and looked down.

There were flashes of light in the air, and teleportation arrays appeared in the sky. A little girl with a bun-like hair sitting on a dragon-shaped jade seal arrived.

Seeing the newcomer, Jiang Qingxuan's eyes darkened, but a kind smile appeared on his old face, and he said in a friendly tone like an elder: "Xiaoxiao, you came at the right time, this old man..."

"Old man surnamed Jiang, do you think you can just call me the Holy Mother?"

When the Ten Thousand Dragon Seals came closer, Liu Xiaoxiao didn't say anything and slapped the Taoist weapon Ten Thousand Dragon Seals under her body. A formation to suppress everyone was spread out, snatching away the souls of the two women, and also snatching back a wisp of Daoxuzi's divine essence.

She didn't have a good impression of Jiang Qingxuan. She remembered that because of the Xia Yin Holy Dynasty, old man Jiang almost fell out with Liu Feng.

After all, Liu Feng, the ancestor of the Jiang family, and the Goddess Shenyin can only be regarded as fellow Taoists, and their friendship is far from deep, especially this old man Jiang.

Jiang Qingxuan's face was stiff. He let Liu Xiaoxiao take action, allowing this primitive evil to snatch away his soul and divine essence.

Liu Xiaoxiao grabbed the souls of the two women and stuffed Daoxuzi's spiritual essence into her mouth to refine it. Unfortunately, there was too little of it and she couldn't taste anything.

"Tell me, where is your suicidal master hiding? If you don't explain clearly, you know what will happen to you."

She looked down at the two female souls in her palm, and Sikong Dujiao immediately urged Qin Zhilan to explain clearly.

Qin Zhilan forced herself to remain calm. Based on her past experiences and her understanding of Yunmeng, she thought of several places to go. Apart from a few secret places, there was actually only one most likely place.

Liu Xiaoxiao stared at Qin Zhilan's soul, thinking that she could help this woman think clearly faster. She suddenly raised her head and looked up at Hunxianze.

Her lips moved as she quickly swallowed the unrefined divine essence in her mouth, a smile breaking out on her little face.

The thirty-nine inheritors of the Insect Temple, all of whom were Jiang family second-level immortals and above, seemed to have sensed something.

At the same time, they shifted their gazes towards the exit above and looked closely into the Hunxian Lake. They saw an ancient demon with eight arms, as strong as iron, walking through the mud. Wherever the Hunxian people and immortals and Buddhas from all directions passed by, they all retreated to the sides.

Destruction, force, and space, the pressure of the three great ways spread. It was obvious that the person who came had just entered the quasi-leader level not long ago and had not been able to adapt to the powerful cultivation brought by the partial transformation of the Dao.

If one can break through the bottleneck leading to the leader level, even if only partially, his cultivation will increase dramatically.

The Jiang clan elders and the patriarch could sense that the person who came was stronger than their own ancestor. He was only half a step away from becoming a Taoist, at the level of a quasi-cult leader. His bloodline, vitality, and method of becoming a Taoist were already stronger than those of the older quasi-cult leaders.

"Brother Feng, I captured Yunmeng's disciple for you." Liu Xiaoxiao walked forward holding the souls of the two women.

The eight-armed ancient demon that walked out of Hunxianze was naturally the incarnation of the demon Liu Feng. The clone shared the same insights as the original body. The clone was a quasi-leader, so of course the same was true for the original body, and what he understood and practiced was only a little more.

The reason he came out this time was because the projection of the Wheel of Reincarnation on his original side was about to dissipate, and he would soon have to go back to the source of Hunxianze. It would be inconvenient for him to be distracted to protect the creatures in the inner world, so he was sent out by his clone.

All the way from the deep layer to the shallow layer, in fact, there is no need to rush to completely walk out of the Hunxianze area. The shallow layer is enough to protect the believers in the inner world, because after reaching the shallow layer, you can vaguely sense the arrival of the inheritor of the Insect Temple.

He interrupted his refining of the Hunxian state and came out to take a look, and found that he really had his own cause and effect.

After taking over the souls of the two women and listening to Qin Zhilan's rumors, Liu Fengmodao understood everything with his body and mind, and nodded lightly.

"I have told you everything I know. I can't say it's 100% certain, but I'm at least 70% sure that my master is hiding in a tributary of the Sea of ​​Bitterness on the Tongxu Road."

"Senior Liu, the matter of the old thief Yunmeng has nothing to do with us."

The two women kept begging for mercy, and Liu Feng casually suppressed them into the inner world. He turned his gaze to Liu Xiaoxiao who was looking up with an expectant look on her face.

"You are the original evil spirit with great potential. If you have enough opportunities, you will be no worse than the original blood spirit behind the Blood Spirit Cult. Take these benefits first."

An object wrapped in demonic energy was sent out. Only Jiang Qingxuan and Liu Xiaoxiao, who were at the quasi-leader level, could vaguely sense it nearby. The object in the demonic energy had the ability to suppress all paths, seemed to contain all kinds of great power, and had an incomparably strong vitality.

Liu Xiaoxiao took the first look and swallowed the evil energy along with the blood mud inside.

"Let's go, let's go to Tongxu Road with me. If you are interested, Brother Jiang, you can also come with us and help."

Liu Feng took Liu Xiaoxiao's hand and walked out of the Chaos Sky. Before leaving, groups of demonic energy flew out and landed on the thirty-nine inheritors of the Insect Temple.

"Farewell, Lord."

"Fellow Daoist Liu, I and others will do our best to help you."

Amid the respectful voices of the evil Buddhas, Jiang Qingxuan winked at the members of the Jiang family.

After half of the elders were sent back to the clan to take charge, the rest of the people followed Liu Feng the Demon without any delay.
