The Ascension of the Evil Path: Starting from Refining Gu

The virtual world, the beginningless heaven.

Above the layers of clouds and mist, there is more and more spiritual energy and fairy air, and the turbid air invading here is gradually decreasing.

Located on the sixth level of the Wushitian Heaven, among the misty clouds, four ice-blue magic swords flew through the air and headed straight for a suspended land.

This piece of land is shaped like a broken bowl, with a radius of approximately ten thousand miles. The force occupying this place is called Jiuling Fairy Cave. Nine large formations are set up to resist the foul air and evil spirits from the outside world every day.

Four soul weapon magic swords flew to the sky above the Jiuling Fairy Cave. The four fairies, three women and one man, on the swords were all from the Emperor's Daughter Palace. The leader was a graceful and beautiful woman who had taken advantage of the opportunity during the catastrophe in the past few hundred years and was fortunately promoted to the level of quasi-leader.

"Elder Yao, the other elders have already found out the whereabouts of the traitor Tan Tai Zhen Yu. He is undoubtedly in the Nine Spirits Immortal Cave."

"This boy's original body was occupied by the elders in the palace. Who would have thought that he had a backup plan and abandoned his original body to rebuild outside. In recent years, he has killed many elders."

"The whereabouts of a monk of another sect who carries holy blood is unknown. This matter is probably related to Tan Tai's evil obstacles."

The three elders behind him explained Tan Tai's sin of treason, and the prospective leader named Yao had a solemn expression on his face.

She had been practicing hard in the sect, and only came out in recent years when the virtual world underwent major changes. She was not aware of the rebellious deeds of her slave-born daughter.

However, it was the Palace Master who personally ordered the capture of Tan Tai Zhen Yu, and for this purpose he left behind an incarnation and a Taoist artifact. This shows that there is something about this boy that the Palace Master values.

Looking down at the Nine Spirits Fairy Cave formation below, the quasi-leader surnamed Yao grabbed in mid-air with his jade hands, and nine balls of icy blue light turned from virtual to real, forming nine hundred-foot ice balls.

As the water mist from thousands of miles gathered, the ice balls suddenly expanded to dozens of miles in a few breaths and smashed towards the nine large formations with a roar.

"Boom, boom..."

The ice ball collided with the formation, and the formation was connected, and the land was shaking for thousands of miles, but the formation was not broken.

The prospective leader of a great sect is not comparable to the ordinary first-rate forces. The Nine Spirits Immortal Cave formation has been attacked by evil spirits for years, and now it has been hit hard by the method of transformation, but it has not been broken.

The three elders frowned upon seeing this, while the prospective leader surnamed Yao had a cold look in his eyes. A golden and red gourd-shaped Taoist weapon flew out of his sleeve, and when it fell, it dispersed into golden and red fine sand in the air.

The two-colored fine sand intertwined and gathered into a two-colored big hand, pressing down with a bang.

Large areas of soil collapsed, and nine large formations collapsed one after another under the influence of the quasi-leader and the Taoist instruments, revealing the scene inside the formation.

The great formation was broken, but hundreds of thousands of cultivators in the Nine Spirits Immortal Cave seemed to be unaware, as if they were in a dream. They came and went as usual, but their eyes had a slightly empty look.

Suddenly, eighteen beast shadows rushed out from a cave, followed by two prospective leaders with old faces. They were the two old ancestors who were in charge of this sect, and there was also something wrong with them.

When the ancestor made his move, the group of cultivators who were still moving a moment ago now moved in unison and looked up, not fearing the prospective leader of the great sect at all, and together they sacrificed the nine spirits that they had refined.

In an instant, beast shadows danced wildly in the sky, like a beast tide, from bottom to top, covering the four seemingly insignificant people.

The expressions of the four elders of the Imperial Daughter Palace became more and more solemn. There was no need to look any further. The entire Nine Spirits Immortal Cave had been controlled by someone, and even the two quasi-leader-level ancestors had fallen into the trap.

"Elder Yao, something is fishy. Tan Tai Zhen Yu's cultivation speed is beyond our expectations."

"We can take down the two old quasi-leaders, but we may not be able to take down Tan Tai Zhen Yu."

"This seems to be the work of the Great Dream Transformation Method. The mysterious part seems to be in the Palace Master's hands..."

The three perfect elders who had reached the state of two-body immortality simultaneously displayed the method of Tongxuan. Before they finished speaking, the power of the Taoist weapon increased greatly. Golden and red fine sand swirled around, strangling the beast's shadow.

When he looked at Elder Yao's side again, he saw a person appearing silently. The girl was wearing fluttering palace clothes and had an extraordinary face. It was the incarnation of the leader She Ying.

The Palace Master's incarnation took action personally, his body falling into the two-colored fine sand, turning into a two-colored waterfall, breaking through the tide of millions of beasts.

The two prospective leaders of the Nine Spirits Immortal Cave were swept into the waterfall, and hundreds of thousands of disciples turned into bloody mist.

Five breaths, ten breaths... In just twelve breaths, the auras of the two quasi-leaders disappeared, and more than half of the hundreds of thousands of cultivators in the entire Nine Spirits Immortal Cave were killed or injured, but not a single person escaped.

When She Ying slaughtered the entire Immortal Sect alone, the quasi-leader named Yao above released his spiritual consciousness to fill the gaps for the Palace Master's incarnation in order to block any possible escapees.

"I don't know where Tan Tai Zhen Yu got some of Dao Xu Zi's divine essence and blood essence from. I didn't expect that he could comprehend the Great Dream to this level, and it only took a thousand years."

Watching hundreds of thousands of monks rushing toward a flame like moths, the prospective leader couldn't help but feel amazed.

Many opportunities came into being during the great catastrophe, and as heaven and earth returned to their original state, the great way became clear, creating many powerful people with high talents and comprehension. Tan Tai Zhenyu was one of them.

Seeing the caves of the Nine Spirits Immortal Cave opening up one after another, the prospective leader named Yao used his pupil technique to search for Tan Tai Zhen Yu.

Just when she was concentrating on assisting the Palace Master's incarnation in the investigation, a bad omen suddenly arose in her heart, and she vaguely sensed her own death.

In a moment so short that it was less than a thousand, her body turned into a block of black ice, and the ice layer suddenly expanded and thickened.

"Click..."

A magic sword shining with starlight pierced through the ice sculpture and nailed into the head of the quasi-leader named Yao, tearing off most of his soul before it could completely escape.

At the critical moment of life and death, the remaining soul of the prospective leader named Yao woke up as if from a dream. Her spiritual consciousness was actually unaware of anything, and she only barely woke up before the death came.

Looking back, the three elders' eyes had become empty and their spirits were weak. They had become living dead.

A young man with long purple-red hair stood between the three elders, his figure as ethereal as an illusion, with a mocking smile on his face.

The golden and red fine sand rolled back to the sky. She Ying's incarnation had a face as cold as frost. She waved her sleeves and controlled the Taoist instrument to roll over where the three elders were.

However, the young man with long purple-red hair collapsed and appeared among the remaining disciples of the Jiuling Immortal Cave the next moment.

His figure was illusory and uncertain. Within a radius of thousands of miles, wherever there were living people, he would appear at will.

"She Ying, you have accumulated more cultivation than me. We both comprehended the Great Dream, but we only comprehended some of its changes. What you comprehended is not as profound as mine."

"I can already escape into the dreams of living beings. Let's compete. Will you kill all living things within 30,000 miles first, or will I escape first?"

Upon hearing the words "thirty thousand miles", the remaining soul of the quasi-leader surnamed Yao was horrified. With such a range, even the Taoist method of transformation at the level of an ordinary leader would not be able to exterminate all living things in a few breaths.

She Ying's incarnation had a cold face, and she understood something. She opened her pink lips and said, "Did you enter their dreams, or did they enter your dreams? I have practiced for hundreds of thousands of years, why haven't I been able to cultivate this great dream transformation!"

The man with long purple-red hair who seemed like a dream bubble below was tall and handsome. He was none other than Tan Tai Zhenyu.

He chuckled and said proudly, "You are narrow-minded and have not realized the true essence. You cannot tolerate others, so how can others truly tolerate you? As for whether I entered their dreams or they entered my dreams, you can slowly guess."

"I just took some of the divine essence and blood... The person who is looking for trouble with me has come, so I'll stop here today."

After Tan Tai Zhen Yu finished speaking, his figure disappeared.

She Ying's incarnation looked around and saw some evil spirits within a range of 30,000 miles outside the suspended land. They should be monks who had been contaminated not long ago.

The behavior of these monks became strange. They were no longer crazy and violent, but fled in all directions.

Tan Tai Zhen Yu might be hiding among those evil spirits, but it could also be bait. Even if they were all killed, it would be hard to find Tan Tai Zhen Yu. The next time he looked, lights were lit behind the suspended land, and demonic fire was rising in front.

On the left and on the right, the vast sky was covered by two kinds of flames, and a Taoist-grade Buddha lamp and a demon body that was more than forty miles in size rose into the sky together.

Under the Buddha lamp, the young man had a ferocious face and looked exactly like the demon.

She Ying recognized that the people were Liu Feng's body and clone. They looked at each other and realized that neither of them was their original body and had no intention of fighting.

The purpose of their trip was the same, they all came for Tan Tai Zhen Yu.

"She Ying, Liu Feng, you two masters and disciples, don't be in a hurry to kill me. Right now, I haven't yet completed my Dao transformation method. It won't be too late to wait until we reach the Heaven Beyond Heaven for a fight to the death."

In the flames, the evil spirits that were burned to death were laughing, and the evil spirits outside the range of the flames also laughed.

Three breaths later, at the edge of Liu Feng and She Ying's visual limit, Tan Tai Zhen Yu appeared in broad daylight.

Thousands of miles away, Tan Tai Zhen Yu's figure and appearance have changed slightly from the past, as if he had taken over someone else's body and refined his form.

His previous body was destroyed, but his new body was even stronger. It turned out to be a missing Holy Blood Heretic monk. It was rumored that his bloodline power was "immortal".

The demon body Liu Feng stared at Tan Tai Zhen Yu as he turned and walked away. There was surprise in his eyes, but his expression was calm, as if he didn't take the matter too seriously.

In fact, he just came here on the way. His original destination was the place where his master was suppressed, which was in Wuzhongtian. His other filthy body and Liu Xiaoxiao and others had already led people there.

"The Holy Blood Body cannot be occupied by force. Even if it is occupied by the mysterious power of the Great Dream, it is unlikely that the bloodline magical power can be fully activated."

"However... he doesn't want the bloodline magical power. Given his character, he wants to use this bloodline to comprehend the great way of immortality."

Liu Feng has taken Daoxuzi's physical body and recovered even more memories. Of course, he has a deep understanding of the Great Dream. If he really wants to use it, he can actually use some of the methods of transformation.

But at the current level of Quasi-Cult Leader, he was far inferior to Tan Tai Zhen Yu in performing the Great Dream.

Without looking at Tan Tai Zhen Yu for long, Liu Feng turned his demon body to She Ying's incarnation and saw that this woman was looking at him.

"She Ying, I am not the one competing with you for the Dao in this life, and Tan Tai Zhen Yu and I do not have to fight to the death."

He sneered, walked to a place with the filthy figure holding the Gara Buddha lamp, and rushed towards the sky diagonally.

The golden and red fine sand gathered into a gourd. She Ying's incarnation had an indifferent expression and landed lightly at the mouth of the gourd.

The remaining soul of the quasi-leader surnamed Yao fell behind her and said in a deep voice, "They went to Wuzhongtian. They must have known where Tanye was suppressed and wanted to rescue him."

"No problem."

She Ying spoke in a calm tone, controlling the Taoist weapon and flying out of Wu Shi Tian.

Her original body and the other sect leaders who had joined forces to plot against Tanye back then, without exception, have all been rushed to the Heaven Beyond.

There is an opportunity in Hunxianze, but the opportunity in Tianwaitian is greater. Under the great catastrophe, the heaven and earth are changing, and the first wave to arrive at Tianwaitian will naturally have more opportunities.

Since there is no real leader left to guard Tanye, there is of course no need for him to do so.

After a while, they arrived at the boundless world. When they looked up, they saw the clouds in the sky were bright and the Buddha's light was shining everywhere.

Nearly a thousand insect temples with blooming Buddha's light flew together, illuminating thousands of miles. Under the protection of the Buddha's light were more than a million monks, among whom there were very few immortals, but so many who had attained Buddhahood that even She Ying and the quasi-leader named Yao beside her were a little surprised.

There is a mixed aura above the realm of many True Buddhas. It can be seen at first glance that Buddhist practitioners from various sects have gathered here, and have only joined the so-called Lord of the Insect Temple in recent years.

But no matter what, this kind of lineup that gathers two thousand immortals and Buddhas and one million people in the late eighth realm or above has more manpower than the two Imperial Princess Palaces combined, but there are definitely immortals and Buddhas with ulterior motives among them.

If restrictions were to be placed on everyone, it would be impossible to gather all these people, and it is more likely that benefits were promised.

"They are all evil Buddhas, many of them are possessed by the Yellow Springs Sacred Tree. The disciples have also seen the martial arts passed down by Liu Feng, which are crooked and evil." The prospective leader named Yao said with contempt.

In her opinion, Liu Feng has none of the demeanor of a cult leader in his previous life. In this life, he seems to be becoming a cult leader of evil. His subordinates are either evil cultivators or evil spirits. Over the years, many people in the Imperial Daughter Palace have been devoured by primitive evil spirits.

"Palace Master, why don't we go and take a look?" the prospective leader named Yao asked tentatively.

She Ying's incarnation shook his head slightly, with most of his attention focused on the Great Dream Transformation Method he had seen before.

He urged the Taoist weapon under his feet and fell from the endless sky, flying towards the Taoist domain's Imperial Daughter's Palace.

……

Above the layers of clouds, there is the sixth level of the Eternal Heaven.

The clouds and fog are thick here, and the rules of heaven and earth form a natural formation here, which is equivalent to an illusion that is so large that it covers eight million miles.

Once people enter this realm, even immortals and Buddhas may get lost and find it difficult to escape for thousands of years. Hence the name “Eternal Heaven”.

The Buddha's light shone for thousands of miles, and millions of monks followed the Insect Temple into the air and flew straight into the depths of the clouds.

In the sixth heaven, the two major sects in Wuzhong Heaven, the Three Bodies Sect and the Eternal Night Palace, were alarmed. Elders from both sects rushed over and looked upwards in confusion.

Nowadays, the vitality of all living beings is fading away quickly, and the lifespan of immortals and Buddhas has been mostly reduced. It is extremely rare to see the scene of thousands of immortals and Buddhas taking action. To avoid being eroded by foul air, most of them are looking for opportunities or hiding.

This group of people are so good, with millions of cultivators coming out together. Just this trip will kill many cultivators, and yet they dare to break into the seventh level of Wuzhongtian. Looking at each of them with a gloomy aura, it is obvious that they are all desperate evil cultivators.

A hundred miles up is the seventh heaven.

The precious light was dense, and in the front there were millions of magic weapons. A Buddha lamp was floating, and on the left was the Ten Thousand Dragon Seal.

Liu Feng's two filthy bodies and the demonic clone stood in one place, while Liu Xiaoxiao stood beside them.

On their right side, there was not only Jiang Qingxuan, a quasi-leader, but eight other quasi-leaders, all of whom were perfect saints who had partially realized the method of transformation.

Two of them came to help with the help of Daoxuzi's divine power, and the remaining six were Liu Feng's fellow disciples in his previous life, and six of the twelve saints under the former Tanye Buddha.

Liu Feng had met Kong Yin and Bao Jian. Xiang Mu, Xin Hai, Sheng Hua and Shen Fa had all lived to this day and had become quasi-leaders. All of their methods of transformation were extraordinary.

If all the prospective leaders here use all their means and a real fight breaks out, even two or three leaders in person will be unable to suppress them.

The demonic clone of Liu Feng looked through the thick fog and nodded to his six senior brothers from previous lives.

I learned from several senior brothers that Master Tanye was suppressed by seven Taoist artifacts, collectively known as the Seven Taoist Mountains. Over the years, they have been moved to different regions of the Void Realm. Now, in the seven levels of the Eternal Heaven, they are changing positions all the time.

"Find out seven mountains."

A majestic voice came from the Insect Temple. With one order, millions of monks dispersed along with nearly a thousand Insect Temples and scattered to all directions here.
