Sitting and forgetting longevity

Chapter 1802 The Birth of the Insect King

The newly hatched sky-eating worms, whose back shells have not yet completely hardened, have already revealed their ferocious nature and are ruthless in biting each other's own kind.

Although it is still small, the claws and mouthparts of the air-eating worm look very sharp. With one swing of its claw, it can leave deep cuts on the stone next to it; with one bite, the stone is crushed into powder like flour.

Every time they collided with each other, a faint purple-black light would emerge from their bodies, and their heads and horns would become even more ferocious.

You Yan watched with great interest. As they didn't want to be discovered, she and Liu Qinghuan hid their bodies, but they really wanted to run over and watch from close range.

Liu Qinghuan ignored her and released his spiritual sense to search the entire space.

After a moment, he exclaimed in surprise and asked, "You said before that only a dozen of the Sky Devourers hatched?"

"Right... isn't that right?" You Yan was puzzled.

"Yes, there is still a group hiding in the stone mountain." Liu Qinghuan said: "There are probably nearly a hundred of them."

"So many!" You Yan exclaimed.

"Are there a lot? The number of sky-eating insect eggs I brought back was more than ten times this number!" Liu Qinghuan said, "Now all the eggs have hatched, and even the eggshells have been eaten by them. In the end, only about a hundred are left."

As a population, this number is really small, and I don’t know whether it can form a new population.

"The dozen or so you saw should be the Sky Devourers that joined the fight for the Insect King. The others are hiding underground. It's amazing that they dug such a deep and complicated cave in just a few days!"

  As the two were talking, the two Sky-Eating Bugs finally decided the winner, but surprisingly, the smaller one won!

I saw it holding its back shell upright, flapping its wings loudly and making a rather shrill cry.

The loser had a large piece of his carapace torn off and his wings broken, and he fled away in shame, dragging his broken legs.

The victor flew towards the nearest cave with great vigor and confidence, ready to start its next journey.

The entire battle for the Insect King lasted for several days. Liu Qinghuan watched it from beginning to end until the final winner was decided.

Although covered in wounds, the new insect king was in very high spirits. He rushed underground with great momentum, found the largest cave, and drove out the other space-eating insects.

Next, an astonishing scene happened. The new insect king spit out long purple silk and wrapped himself up in circles.

"Is this... preparing to transform into a worm mother?" Liu Qinghuan touched his chin: "Looks like we have to wait a few more days!"

On the side, You Yan looked at him doubtfully: "Are you sure you can do it? Didn't they say that sky-eating insects cannot be tamed?"

"Well, but I looked through the classics and found that those who failed in taming..."

"How are those people?"

"Their divine consciousness should not be as strong as mine!"

You Yan was stunned. She wanted to refute but found that she had no way to refute. Even she had to admit that Liu Qinghuan's spiritual power was undoubtedly powerful and there was no one stronger than him!

"So what? Your strong spiritual power can make the Sky Devouring Bugs obey you..." You Yan suddenly paused: "This, seems to really work..."

As long as the divine power is strong enough, it is indeed possible to control the actions of others through coercive means.

"You want to control the Insect King by force?"

"No!" Liu Qinghuan smiled and shook his head: "I don't have the time to spend time controlling a bug and managing the bug swarm every day. How can I do other things?" "Then what are you going to do?"

"You'll know when the time comes!" Liu Qinghuan said, "Yue Qian later told me that he recalled that there was an ancient family in the Ancient Ruins of the Gods that specialized in taming insects and had successfully tamed the Sky Devouring Insect."

You Yan couldn't help but glance sideways: "So you think you can do it too?"

"Let's give it a try!" Liu Qinghuan said, and found that the space-eating insects that were driven out were not idle either. They had begun to expand the cave, build new chambers, serve as guards, etc., and they were working together in a very orderly manner.

There were even a dozen space-eating insects that left the nest and divided into several small teams to explore in different directions.

"The intelligence of these sky-eating insects is really high!" Liu Qinghuan exclaimed: "They started exploring the surrounding environment so quickly!"

He thought of something else and said to You Yan: "When you capture monsters from the small cave and release them here, try to capture those fierce beasts. You don't need to capture too many, just enough to satisfy the daily food of the insect swarm. When you return and leave Longyuan, you can replenish the monster swarm in the insect space."

You Yan rolled his eyes and responded nonchalantly.

Liu Qinghuan "looked" at the Insect King and found that it had wrapped itself up completely, becoming like a cocoon, motionless and motionless.

"It seems that we have to wait until it breaks out of its cocoon before we can proceed to the next step." Liu Qinghuan said: "You Yan, you continue to watch here and tell me if there is any situation. The alchemy furnace cannot be left alone for a long time, I have to go back to take care of it!"

You Yan waved at him, as if telling him to leave quickly, so he left the insect space and returned to refining the elixir.

This time he was refining the Nine-Transformation White Jade Pill, a top-grade pill for women to maintain their beauty. It is hard to come by in the outside world, and every time it appears, it attracts many female cultivators to scramble for it.

As for why he, a male cultivator, would refine this kind of elixir, it was actually because he was familiarizing himself with the method of refining the Nine Revolutions Pill in preparation for refining the Nine Revolutions Jade Purity Pill in the future.

When he went to the fairyland in the clouds to look for the immortal root of good fortune, he found a fairy grass in the ruins of the ancient Danmen, called Taiyin grass. The Nine-Turn Jade Purity Pill made from Taiyin grass is a veritable fairy-level pill that can make people immortal and keep their souls alive forever. It is extremely difficult to refine.

Therefore, Liu Qinghuan has been collecting the necessary spiritual materials and making corresponding preparations over the years, one of which is familiarizing himself with the Nine-Turn Alchemy Method.

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, more than three months had passed. On this day, the person who called him was Fu Bao, who shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Master, hurry up, there is movement in the cocoon!"

Liu Qinghuan hurriedly put down the spiritual materials, went out and asked Yue Qin to light the fire, then turned around and entered the insect space.

Sure enough, the cocoon lying in the underground nest had undergone great changes. Not only was its size dozens of times larger than before, but the purple-black cocoon skin had completely dried and hardened, and a long and thin crack had appeared on it.

Inside the cocoon, the new insect king has completed the process of transformation into an insect queen, and his appearance has changed greatly. In addition to his body becoming larger and fatter, there are also several rows of cold eyes on his head!

However, its biggest change was not its appearance, but its spiritual power, which became extremely powerful. Although it could not catch up with the adult insect queen that Liu Qinghuan had seen before, it was many times stronger than before.

The time has finally come!

Liu Qinghuan suppressed his excitement, asked Fubao to guard us, and sneaked into the insect nest.

At this moment, the insect queen was at her most tired and weakest, and she was so hungry that she was seeing stars.

The smell of food kept coming. It was something the insect swarm had specially prepared for it these days and was placed not far from the cocoon.

So it struggled to tear open the cocoon and crawl out. But as soon as it poked its head out, it saw a person standing there.

The insect queen screamed in fear, then became furious, with a strong dark purple light emanating from her whole body!
