I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

The reason why Pei Laogui is being so easy to talk to Wei Tu right now is so that he can easily trick Wei Tu into the 'Slaying Netherworld'.

Therefore, once Wei Tu shows any intention to leave at this moment...

Such a deeply hidden 'old ghost' wouldn't necessarily let Wei Tu escape unscathed.

And all of this was to be expected.

But at this moment, Wei Tu seemed to sense the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor's worry about his 'one incarnation', and immediately smiled faintly and said:

"Sister Qibao, you don't need to worry about that. I have a lot of confidence in my combat strength... At least, I can safely escape from a late-stage Mahayana cultivator."

However, even the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor's 'Incarnation' trapped inside the [Shifting Heaven Demon Palace] could hardly detect this, and a cold glint flashed in Wei Tu's eyes outside.

There's no other reason than that, given his combat prowess, he has no fear of Old Ghost Pei.

There is even a considerable possibility that, like when Yue Shenzi was killed, this fiend can be killed.

But... what he feared was that Pei Laogui would not hesitate to abandon his 'avatar' in the Spirit Stream Realm and directly inform Ao Laozu and others about his 'backstabbing' of the Feather Dragon Clan's Dragon Lord inside the Treasure Sun Divine Tower.

This 'weakness' was his Achilles' heel.

Unless he, like Feng Qing, simply 'disappears' and vanishes directly from the cultivation world.

"What? Fellow Daoist Wei already has the ability to leave calmly in front of a late-stage Mahayana cultivator?"

The next moment, the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor, in his first incarnation, was greatly surprised to hear this.

The reaction was far more shocking than when they learned that Wei Tu had already reached the 'eighth-level body refinement' stage.

The reason is simple: late-stage Mahayana cultivators are not only two minor realms ahead of early-stage Mahayana cultivators, but also possess a level of overwhelming power over the former in terms of supernatural abilities and spiritual treasures.

Therefore, Wei Tu's statement that he had the ability to escape unscathed from a late-stage Mahayana cultivator was no less than directly stating that his combat strength was comparable to that of a late-stage Mahayana cultivator.

Keep in mind, how many years has it been since she was captured by Wei Tu inside the Bao Ri Divine Pagoda?
"If that's the case, with my assistance... this Netherworld is a place that Fellow Daoist Wei can enter... and perhaps even take a step further here." After a moment of contemplation, the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor 'One Incarnation' said this with a glint in his eyes.

"However, if Fellow Daoist Wei truly reaches the Tribulation Transcending Realm in the future, I hope that Fellow Daoist Wei can help me attain Dao in consideration of my efforts in helping me today."

At this point, the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor, in his first incarnation, stopped talking nonsense and began to tell Wei Tu about various information about the Netherworld.

And, the secret method to leave this world.

But after hearing these words, Wei Tu was overjoyed at the opportunity, but a hint of murderous intent also arose in his heart.

Of course, this killing intent was not directed at the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor, but at Old Ghost Pei who had lured him into this 'Slaying Netherworld' at this moment.

Just as he thought.

—The 'Slaying Netherworld' is indeed like the 'Underworld of the Dead Infants'. Once you enter, both your main body and your clone will be completely cut off from the outside world.

This is also a common practice in such 'supreme immortal realms', leaving no opportunity for any cultivator to exploit loopholes.

However, if that's the case...

This is also an opportunity for him, a chance to completely kill Pei Laogui and eliminate future troubles!

……

Although the secret conversation with the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor had lasted a long time, in the outside world, Old Ghost Pei, who was asking Wei Tu whether he would enter the 'Slaying Netherworld' with him, did not urge him too much during this time.

After all, such a dangerous situation requires extreme caution for any cultivator.

It's impossible for me to agree so readily.

“Fellow Daoist Pei should know that I am currently serving as the ‘Deputy Realm Lord’ of the Sheng Guang Realm, a demanding duty that I cannot easily shirk…”

After a short while, Wei Tu, who had been pondering for a moment, suddenly replied.

"Refuse?" Upon hearing this, Pei Laogui, whose face had a faint smile, froze, seemingly never expecting that Wei Tu could still hold his true heart and not be easily tempted by this opportunity to transcend the tribulations.

However, just as he was frowning and pondering a solution, Wei Tu suddenly spoke again:

“However, with this ‘Blood Soul Stone’ in Fellow Daoist Pei’s possession, it is sufficient… After I refine the Blood Ghost’s divided soul, shall we enter this ‘Netherworld’ together?”

As soon as he said this...

While secretly relieved, Pei Laogui also felt a sneer in his heart.

Simply put, Wei Tu's arrangement seems to be a way to solve his problem of being unable to be in two places at once.

But in reality, it also harbors hidden motives.

The purpose of having the blood demon's divided soul handle miscellaneous tasks while allowing the original body to accompany him into the 'Netherworld' is self-evident.

It's nothing more than that they think their own strength is great, no weaker than his 'mid-stage Mahayana' cultivator, and that they can snatch treasures from him!
However, this was in line with his calculations.

However, on the surface, Pei Laogui still frowned, looking as if he was unwilling to agree, as if he was afraid that Wei Tu would leak the news and attract the help of other powerful people, just like at the 'Bao Ri Divine Tower'.

"This matter was told to me by Fellow Daoist Pei on short notice, not something I had planned for a long time... Right now, I am refining the 'Blood Ghost Soul Split' here, so it is probably difficult to inform the outside world..."

Seeing this, Wei Tu smiled slightly and said these words to dispel Pei Laogui's doubts.

“That’s fine too. After Fellow Daoist Wei refines the ‘Blood Ghost Soul Split’… then we can enter this ‘Netherworld’ together.”

After hesitating for a moment, and seeing that Wei Tu's condition was indeed unlikely to pose a threat to him, Pei Laogui, seemingly helpless, took a deep breath and nodded in agreement.

But at this moment, Wei Tu, upon hearing these words, suddenly looked up and stared intently at Old Ghost Pei.

Immediately, Pei Laogui's face stiffened again.

Because, according to his previous agreement with Wei Tu, Wei Tu would lend him the 'Fallen Flower of the Other Shore' or the two of them would enter the 'Slaying Netherworld' together... only then would he give Wei Tu the [Blood Soul Stone] in his hand free of charge.

Right now, Wei Tu's intentions are quite clear: he's thinking of getting something for nothing from him.

After cursing under his breath that he was a plague-ridden rat, he immediately said with a forced smile, "Fellow Daoist Wei, do you think I'm easy to bully?"

However, as he said this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Tu's attitude also proves that he did not have too much doubt about him.

Otherwise, she wouldn't habitually try to take advantage of him.

"Let this treasure serve as collateral for now."

Upon hearing this, Wei Tu frowned slightly, but without hesitation, he raised his hand and retrieved the 'blood-red net' he had previously summoned, sending it to Old Ghost Pei's hand with his magic.

"A top-grade, heaven-reaching spiritual treasure..."

Upon first touching the 'blood-red net,' Old Ghost Pei was secretly shocked, astonished by Wei Tu's generosity.

They even regarded a top-grade Tongtian spiritual treasure as an ordinary item, which could be pawned at will.

"Indeed, this boy must be extremely wealthy. He was first favored by Ancestor Ao and given a great treasure... and then he used this treasure to kill Yue Shenzi... Naturally, his wealth is considerable..." Old Ghost Pei's eyes flickered slightly, and as greed arose in his heart, he secretly thought to himself.

"Very well, I'll lend this 'Blood Soul Stone' to Fellow Daoist Wei for now. When Fellow Daoist Wei hands over the 'Fallen Flower of the Other Shore' to me... I'll then present this Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure to you with all my heart..."

Pei Laogui nodded slightly and, without hesitation, took out the 'Blood Soul Stone' from his storage artifact and handed it to Wei Tu with a wave of his sleeve.

At this moment, Wei Tu, who had obtained the 'Blood Soul Stone', immediately sat cross-legged in front of Old Ghost Pei and began to refine the 'Blood Ghost Soul Split' again, just as he had said before.

One year.

Two years...

Time passed slowly.

Having learned from his previous experience of reforging the 'Blood Ghost Soul Split', Wei Tu condensed a new 'Blood Ghost Soul Split' again within a few years.

Of course, it will take a lot of time for this 'blood demon soul' to perfectly control Yue Shenzi's 'demon ancestor's remnant body', and it cannot be accomplished in a short period of time.

However, Wei Tu was not in a hurry at this moment. He still orderly and methodically injected the refined 'Blood Ghost Soul' into the 'Demon Ancestor's Remnant Body' and then controlled it step by step.

Until the eighth year.

Only then did he open his eyes, exhale a breath of stale air, and look at Old Ghost Pei.

At this moment, Old Ghost Pei did not hesitate for a moment. After nodding slightly, he moved his lips slightly and told Wei Tu about the 'Ghost Clan Secret Technique'.

"Transformation from the Netherworld to the Dead, the art of corpse shedding?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Tu raised an eyebrow and began to carefully examine this secret technique of the Ghost Clan, which he had never heard of or seen before.

This technique, once mastered, does not enhance magical power or physical strength... but it will gradually taint the body with the aura of the dead, allowing one to reach the threshold of entering the 'Netherworld'.

“However, it seems that this ‘Old Ghost Pei’ did not finish explaining this technique…” Wei Tu’s eyes flickered slightly, and he secretly felt that there was still a sequel to this ‘Transformation from the Netherworld to the Dead’ corpse-molting technique.

This second part should also be about the ultimate techniques of the Corpse Path and Ghost Path within the cultivation world, and it is very likely to involve Pei Laogui's 'main cultivation method'.

“This skill is the ultimate technique of the ‘Ghost King Sect’ of the Old World. It seems that this old ghost Pei… also has a great connection with the Old World…” At this moment, the voice of the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor ‘One Incarnation’ also came from within the [Shifting Heaven Demon Palace].

“Indeed, if not a descendant of the old world, what cultivator could possibly know of the existence of this ‘Slaying Netherworld’…” said the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor in his first life.

"The Ghost King Sect of the Old World..."

Upon hearing this, Wei Tu's eyes flashed, and he immediately became curious about its origins.

As far as he knew, the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor was also a descendant of the Old World, a descendant of the Old World Buddhist sect 'Spiritual Consciousness Sect'.

Now, the origins of Old Ghost Pei can be traced back to the Ghost King Sect... This is enough to show how prosperous this former 'old world' was.

But at this moment, the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor seemed to have noticed Wei Tu's interest and shook his head slightly, saying:
"I don't know much about the old world either. My master took me as his disciple and passed on his unique skills to me... that was after I came to this cultivation world."

"All that is known is that in its heyday, the 'Old World' boasted eight ancient immortals skilled in body refinement alone..."

"Now that this old ghost Pei has a connection with the Ghost King Sect... Fellow Daoist Wei, after entering this 'Slaying Netherworld Realm,' you should be careful in everything. If anything unexpected happens, follow my advice as soon as possible, abandon the opportunities here, and leave this realm as soon as possible..." After pausing, the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor once again instructed.

However, judging from the calmness of his expression, it was not difficult to see that he did not feel particularly afraid or fearful of Pei Laogui, the "successor of the Ghost King Sect".

Upon hearing these "top secretaries," Wei Tu quickly came to a sense of relief after a moment's thought.

The older something is, the more powerful it is not necessarily.

It's just that the ancient ones rarely have weak ones.

To put it bluntly, both the Old Realm and the New Realm are lower realms of the 'Seventh Mountain,' and the most powerful beings there are only Transcending Tribulation Immortals.

Nowadays, the powerful figures like Ao Laozu who remain in the spirit world are no less formidable. Even the 'Jin Cheng Shangxian' from the lower realm was imprisoned by him... His immortal soul was split into three and suppressed separately.

Even if the ancient immortals of the old world who refine their bodies are powerful, they are not necessarily stronger than Ao Laozu and others.

Having acquired the strength to escape unscathed from a late-stage Mahayana cultivator, he basically no longer needed to fear cultivators below the Tribulation Transcending Realm within this realm.

The only concern is the potential "traps" in such a bizarre place as the "Slaying Netherworld".

Now, with the assistance of the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor's 'First Incarnation,' who has a deeper understanding of this world, this danger... is naturally nothing to fear.

……

While inquiring about information related to the Ghost King Sect from the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor's 'one incarnation'.

Wei Tu was also multitasking, gradually practicing the corpse-transformation technique of 'transforming the dead' passed down by Pei Laogui.

This technique is not difficult for a Mahayana immortal like him to master.

In just three days, a dense aura of death emanated from his body, making him appear like a 'wandering soul' floating in the void.

"Hurry!" At this moment, Wei Tu also had a sudden thought and once again summoned the 'Fallen Flower of the Other Shore' to probe the 'Slaying Netherworld' once more.

Take a breath.

Two breaths...

Ten breaths later, the 'Slaying Netherworld,' hidden in the void and eerily cold, opened a corner to him once again.

After this torn corner.

Still there was the huge archway with the plaque "Slaying the Netherworld" hanging on it, and behind it, the endless turbid river... and the sea of ​​spider lilies that appeared and disappeared on the riverbank.

However, this time Wei Tu dared not easily touch the 'Slaying Netherworld' that had finally reappeared with his divine sense...

His gaze sharpened, and after glancing at Old Ghost Pei who was not far away, he gestured to him. After obtaining the 'blood-red silk net' as collateral, he immediately set off with a burst of light towards the 'spatial rift' torn open by the 'Slaying Netherworld'.

At the same moment, Pei Laogui did not hesitate for a moment. As soon as his escape light appeared, he entered the 'Slaying Netherworld' at almost the same time as Wei Tu.

only--

It also happened the instant the two entered the 'Slaying Netherworld'.

The 'blood ghost fragment' that remained in place, belonging to Wei Tu, seemed to lose consciousness at this moment, a look of confusion appearing on its face.

But soon.

As the spiritual light appeared on the 'Blood Ghost Soul Split' body, although its face was still confused, it clumsily began to form one incantation after another.

A few quarters of an hour later.

In the void, a slender figure dressed in a yellow dress gradually appeared.

And at the same time that the yellow figure appeared.

A cold voice suddenly rang out from the body of this 'blood demon's divided soul'.

"Contact the Dragon Lord and Tian Yizi... Within the Spirit Stream Realm, swiftly slay Old Ghost Pei... This cultivator is harmful to us... He must be eliminated quickly..."

As soon as he said this...

The woman in yellow's expression changed drastically in an instant. (End of Chapter)
