The Ascension of the Evil Path: Starting from Refining Gu

Liu Feng stood up and made a move towards the Insect Temple.

With a "creaking" sound, the Yellow Spring Sacred Tree in the temple suddenly grew taller and turned into a hundred-foot-tall tree, dragging the small temple to its side.

He and Yunmeng flew and landed on a tree branch, and Ji Qiu followed naturally.

The Yellow Springs Sacred Tree rose into the sky, and the valley at the bottom of the abyss below fell into darkness.

The illusion, obsession, and small temple are all gone, and Worm Valley is destined to be completely forgotten and become a nameless place.

"I hope Your Excellency will take me with you. I am willing to serve you at your service." Old Bai Ze knelt on the ground and begged the young man on the tree for a way to live.

Liu Feng glanced at him indifferently and nodded lightly.

Seeing this out of the corner of his eye, Old Bai Ze kowtowed hurriedly. The little vitality in his body burst out, and he gathered his strength to fly up, exuding the aura of perfection in the ninth realm.

Outside the abyss, three Bai Ze and more than a dozen monsters and corpse cultivators were guarding the entrance.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew up, and a huge tree wrapped in the aura of death was seen holding up a man and two women, with their ancestor behind them.

After connecting with the old ancestor's spiritual consciousness, the three Bai Ze couldn't help but feel ecstatic. They flew around the Huangquan Sacred Tree along with the monsters and corpse cultivators, consciously acting as guards.

On the tree branch, Liu Feng looked at the Yinyue Dynasty that was turning into a dead place, and his heart was calm.

"Bang, bang..." The sound of breaking through the air came from all directions, attracted by the Huangquan Sacred Tree.

When Yunmeng came, he was protected by four semi-immortal monsters. He could only walk close to the ground and had to avoid the directions where there were many evil spirits in the Nine Realms.

There is no such concern at the moment. In the eyes of Bai Ze and the corpse cultivator who are traveling with them, a large number of deformed bodies are gathering here.

The monster on the tree didn't care at all, and the monster driven by it didn't stop it.

The Yellow Springs Sacred Tree flew forward, and in a short while it attracted dozens of evil spirits from the nineteen realms to come from all directions. There were countless evil spirits from the seventh and eighth realms, blocking all the ways.

A hundred miles, ten miles... until they were within one mile, and Bai Ze and the corpse cultivator were so nervous that they couldn't help but take action, and dense ink-colored Sanskrit characters flew out.

In an instant, the evil spirits all around seemed to be frozen along with the scene of heaven and earth, and then countless branches whistled out, extracting all the evil spirits above the eight realms.

The shadows of the trees swayed, and the hundred-foot-tall tree trunk was visibly growing larger.

Leaving behind a field of dried corpses, the tree put away all its magical powers and continued to move forward. After flying hundreds of miles, it was surrounded by evil spirits again, and then it killed all the powerful evil spirits.

Along the way, the Yellow Springs Sacred Tree was unstoppable.

Ji Qiu didn't know where Liu Feng was going to find Xuan Du, nor did he know why Liu Feng was deliberately killing the evil spirits. He only whispered the rumors about Xuan Du to Liu Feng.

Liu Feng, who was sitting in the front, had a calm expression, and most of his mind was not here.

No matter whether it was the evil spirits bred in the world or the evil spirits that fell with the fragments of the virtual world, he did not need to look at them too much. In the same realm, he had thousands of ways to pick out the weaknesses of these evil spirits and attack them.

"Breaking through the void and heading to the Void Realm, even if my Demonic Path clone is promoted to the level of a leader, I will not be able to lead too many people. I still have to take the Void Path."

"The Tongxu Road also has rules that restrict bringing other living beings, but this road will be destroyed, and by then the restrictions will be weakened to the extreme."

"Xuandu has taken in many living beings. I can only go to Tongxu Road with my demonic body to guide them when Tongxu Road is destroyed."

Calculating the time, the destruction of Tongxu Road would take no more than a hundred years at most, or sixty or seventy years at least. Fortunately, this period of time is enough for his demonic clone to use.

"The other paths are slower, but if you want to break through in time, it's not difficult. First, comprehend the method of destroying one path and making it complete. The other paths of the devil's clones can be saved for comprehending on the way to the Heaven Beyond Heaven."

Even if his demonic clone becomes a leader, it is still difficult for him to cross the entire Tongxu Road. He needs to move forward a little bit, so he needs to use external objects.

In the decades before the destruction of Tongxu Road, he was able to grow a Yellow Spring Divine Tree.

Although it will be suppressed below the fairyland, sufficient nutrients can allow the Yellow Spring Divine Tree to continue to grow. One tree is equivalent to the accumulation of hundreds of nine realms of cultivation.

In this way, when Tongxu Road is destroyed, it will be enough to carry them for a while.

As the Yellow Springs Divine Tree pushed forward, Bai Ze and the dozen or so corpse cultivators had already let go of their nervousness, and their shock turned into confusion.

They have seen many incarnations of immortals and Buddhas take action, but it is impossible for them to kill the Ninth Realm so easily. The Ninth Realm evil spirits with low intelligence are also difficult to deal with.

There is no need to think too much about the reason why such a scene appears before our eyes. That is because the young man on the tree is a true powerful person in the virtual world and is an existence that has reached the pinnacle of immortals and Buddhas in the virtual world.

Ji Qiu's face was calm and her mind was more relaxed than ever before. With the person in front of her here, she certainly didn't have to worry about being targeted by evil spirits.

The scenes flew by, her eyes wandered around the world, and she vaguely remembered a familiar scene.

Once upon a time, she also followed Liu Feng, but the difference was that she was chased everywhere by her enemies before, but now there is no enemy in the world who can make the person in front of her escape.

While she was lost in thought, more than a dozen monsters gathered from afar.

Seeing the Yellow Spring Sacred Tree sweeping away the evil spirits, more corpse cultivators who had survived until now flew out of their hiding places and knelt down before the sacred tree one by one.

More and more figures followed behind, and each pair of eyes looked at the back of the young man on the tree, as if they were paying homage to the gods.

The coldness grew deeper, and a vast black curtain of snow swept across the sky and earth ahead, reaching the border of Qiongai Island.

The Yellow Springs Sacred Tree flew to a canyon and dived down.

A flash of demonic light penetrated somewhere in the canyon, breaking the silk-like restriction that covered this already hidden place, revealing a cave inside the mountain wall.

Yun Meng glared inside and immediately became very angry.

An old Taoist priest was lying in the cave. It was none other than Xuandu. His body was nailed to the ground and then sealed, without any trace of his breath.

Coupled with the external restrictions, it is no wonder that she could not find it in her search and wasted five hundred years of her time.

"Who did this? These silks... were created by the beast Jiuhua Immortal Silkworm. No, these seals... were created by other immortals and Buddhas who have not yet died."

His eyes moved to the old Taoist's arms. The Xuandu Heavenly Book had been opened. Human figures could be seen on more than a hundred of the three hundred pages of the book. I wonder how many people this immortal old man had accepted.

Yunmeng couldn't say anything and could only stare blankly, waiting to see the evil beast named Liu go in and kill everyone.

She saw that the Xuandu Heavenly Book was no longer under the control of the old Taoist Xuandu. A large number of immortals and Buddhas had entered it and suppressed the spirit of the Heavenly Book.

The outside world was polluted, leaving behind an empty shell of the old Taoist Xuandu. His spirit had either been shattered or hidden deep in the world of the Heavenly Book.

As if they had sensed a hint of murderous intent emanating from Liu Feng's incarnation, the four Bai Zes seized the opportunity, roared, and rushed into the first page of the heavenly book.

"I am willing to serve you, Your Majesty."

The many corpse cultivators of the eighth and ninth realms gathered in the back, reacted one by one, fearless of death, hundreds of figures scrambled to squeeze into the book. Liu Feng floated into the cave with an expressionless face. There were already thirty monsters summoned on both sides, and the aura of the monsters was rising wildly.

All monsters are under his control. The restrictions in the monsters' bodies are activated, and their souls and bodies seem to spontaneously combust, gaining power that is infinitely close to the level of True Immortals.

Yun Meng suddenly felt that the essence, blood and soul that she had divided into the monster's body were also being consumed. She was furious because these were her last bit of savings.

"In recognition of your hard work over the past five hundred years, as promised five hundred years ago, there will be a reincarnation of you in the new world."

Yun Meng couldn't hear the voice clearly, as her only remaining soul was on the verge of burning out.

What she wanted was not reincarnation, nor did she expect Liu Feng to create a new cycle of heaven and earth. What she wanted was to return to the virtual world and try to rebuild herself after the catastrophe.

With her comprehension at the level of a quasi-leader, with the help of many opportunities, it is possible for her to turn the situation around.

It’s a pity that the man named Liu didn’t leave her any way out. She couldn’t escape the poisonous clutches that came five hundred years late, and she was only left with the possibility of an afterlife.

She couldn't see the massacre of the Liu family because the first one to be killed was her, who was already useless!
Liu Feng didn't even look at Yun Meng. He looked closely at the body of Taoist Xuan Du and saw that it was useless.

The coldness in his eyes became even more intense. He summoned the Yellow Spring Sacred Tree and took a step toward the first page of the Heavenly Book. Thirty semi-immortal demons followed him like a shadow.

Ji Qiu followed closely behind and entered the heavenly book space together.

The scene then changed, and a gray-white sky that seemed to have lost its color came into view. In the distance, there were shadowy figures on the ground. All the creatures that were taken in here were under an illusion, and they were as confused as animals working in the fields.

The rules of this world are incomplete. No matter how hard you work, the crops grown in the fields can hardly feed many people. Large numbers of corpses used as fertilizer can be seen in the fields.

Seeing this scene, Liu Feng snorted softly, knowing that many clones of immortals and Buddhas had taken over the space of the Heavenly Book and attacked the common people, raising them as livestock so that these clones of immortals and Buddhas could survive.

In the space of the heavenly book, he could read sixty pages forward and saw no less than two hundred incarnations of immortals and Buddhas.

The Tongxu Road is difficult to go back, but once many immortals and Buddhas risk their lives to travel down it, some of them will be lucky enough to send down their clones.

In addition, there were originally a group of immortals and Buddhas hiding in the secret realms of the universe.

When Taoist Xuandu left his hiding place and went around recruiting people, he was inevitably targeted by many incarnations of immortals and Buddhas.

"If you treat others as fertilizer, all the immortals and Buddhas here will be used as fertilizer for the Yellow Springs Sacred Tree today."

There was no rush to break the illusion. The thirty semi-immortals behind Liu Feng circled around and flew to the immortal and Buddha clones in the space of the first page of the heavenly book.

Within sight, one after another powerful figures walked out of the ruins, including incarnations of immortals and Buddhas, as well as descendants and followers.

Ji Qiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he could see that the immortal Buddha's clone was completely different from the evil spirit in the Nine Realms.

In the same situation of being in the great universe, even if Liu Feng, with thirty semi-immortal monsters, could lead the way alone, he might not be able to sweep through the hundred pages of heavenly book space where the incarnations of immortals and Buddhas existed.

However, soon, the sky above her head broke.

"Click, click, click..." The sound of the grinding together echoed throughout the heaven and earth.

Looking up, she saw a huge ship that was larger than the limit of her vision. The upper and lower plates were stained with blood and had an ancient aura.

Under her horrified gaze, Liu Feng's body split into two. One part flew up, landed in the center of the giant plate, and sat cross-legged.

As he sat down, this giant object, which obviously still had a spirit, seemed to be awakened, and spiritual pressure comparable to that of hundreds or even thousands of Nine Realms gathered poured down onto the earth.

The immortal and Buddha's clone in the distance had no time to make a move and was blocked by the semi-immortal demon. A moment later, he was sucked into the sky and fell into the millstone, where he was crushed to pieces.

Even the incarnations of immortals and Buddhas are dead, let alone their descendants and followers who have no chance of survival.

The blood, flesh and vitality of all the powerful men who were ground into powder turned into a heavy rain, part of which fell on the common people on the earth, and the rest flowed into the Yellow Spring Sacred Tree.

Seeing this shocking scene, the corpse cultivators and Bai Ze who were helping from afar retreated away, avoiding the giant plate.

Everyone realized that the powerful person who brought them here didn't need them to work at all. He just took them in and was willing to save them, just like he saved the ordinary people here.

The sound of the giant plate grinding together was heard. In less than ten breaths, the five immortals and Buddhas and their descendants and followers on the first page were killed, and then the page moved to the next one.

"Ka, ka..."

Accompanied by a loud noise, Ji Qiu followed Liu Feng and walked down page by page.

The front and back pages of the Heavenly Book are connected in space. The immortal and Buddha clones cannot escape from the Heavenly Book from the middle, and it is also impossible to escape back to the first page because the way is blocked by Liu Feng.

The living beings in the heavenly book with more than a hundred pages were divided up by the incarnations of the immortals and Buddhas. All the immortals and Buddhas wanted was to survive, but they never expected that a powerful person from the virtual world would come and kill them in advance.

When it comes to page 40, thousands of puppet monks appear in the world below to resist the suction force of the giant wheel sweeping down.

Thousands of invisible silk threads connected the puppet monks, and a fairy silkworm flew out from the source. It was the Jiuhua fairy silkworm that Liu Feng had seen in the past.

"Chandu, do you still remember me? For the sake of our friendship in the past, I beg you to let me and my master go."

At the forefront of thousands of puppet monks, an old and frail-looking Ninth Realm Buddhist monk flew out.

Liu Feng looked down at the old monk. He could still recognize him as the former King Jingfeifa, but he had aged a lot.

It is said that Jing Fafa is the King, but in fact he is just a puppet controlled by the Jiuhua Immortal Silkworm remotely. His lifespan should have expired long ago, but because the Jiuhua Immortal Silkworm's bloodline has kept him alive until now, he is no different from a living dead.

After a glance, Liu Feng withdrew his gaze, walked to the next page, without a word of response.

The huge wheel pressed down, sweeping up all the puppet monks and pulling the Jiuhua Immortal Silkworm between the two plates.

Without stopping, Liu Feng walked through fifty pages, a hundred pages, and after one hundred and ten pages, the world was dead silent.

He continued reading until he reached page 199, which was nearly two hundred pages long.

His body fell into a piece of ruins on the ground. Under the rotten broken walls, an illusory figure of an old Taoist appeared.

An old Taoist and a young man looked at each other. The old Taoist smiled bitterly and bowed.

Liu Feng sighed lightly, turned towards his fellow Taoist from previous life, the Master of Xuandu, and bowed in return.

"Congratulations to my fellow Taoist. I wish you great success in this life. I cannot go to the road ahead, so I'd like to ask you to take the living beings in my book with you..."

The voice was faint, and it was obvious that the old Taoist Xuandu had regained consciousness. However, it was already the last moment of his spiritual power dissipating, and he was destined to never be able to explore the Heaven Beyond Heaven with his former Taoist friends again.
