I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Then, Wei Tu suddenly remembered something, turned his eyes, and walked towards the insect room in the cave.

The insect chamber in the cave was specially customized for the iron-poison flying ants - the entire insect chamber is a huge "place for refining poison", and the king of poison is the iron-poison flying ants.

Therefore, in order to ensure that there would be no mistakes in this "gu refining", after putting the golden marrow worms into the insect room, he set up formations, barriers and various restrictions around the insect room.

It is not easy to see the specific situation of the current poisonous flying ants with spiritual consciousness alone.

"I hope this insect can successfully break through to the sixth level."

"It will become another means for me to achieve my goal in the Void Refining Realm."

Wei Tu waved his sleeves, opened the insect room restriction, and walked in.

After entering the insect room, he saw at a glance the "iron-poison flying ants" lying on the corpses of hundreds of spiritual insects.

This insect is more than twice as large as before, about the size of an infant's fist, and has a very obvious "golden line" on its abdomen that extends all the way to the tail.

Of course, the most noteworthy thing is that the iron-poison flying ant has reached the spiritual pressure of the sixth-level spiritual insect.

"Mutation?" Wei Tu thought for a moment, raised his hand and grabbed the poisonous flying ant lying on the insect corpse, ready to observe it carefully.

But right now——

The previously docile poisonous flying ant suddenly became ferocious, and forced itself to break free from Wei Tu's magical power. It opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and shot forward like an arrow, biting the back of Wei Tu's hand.

Wei Tu was not surprised by this.

The advancement of spirit insects and spirit beasts will inevitably loosen the soul imprint in their minds, thus providing the possibility of betrayal.

In the history of the cultivation world, there are many cultivators who were killed by spiritual insects and spiritual beasts.

This is also another reason why he set up layers of formations and restrictions in the insect room.

Before this, when he was in the Qi training stage, he had been betrayed by the Sky-Splitting Eagle.

Compared with spiritual beasts, spiritual insects have lower intelligence and do not know the pros and cons, good and bad. Even when they reach a high level, they are often only pure savagery, and the chances of them betraying or killing their masters are very high.

However, at this moment, Wei Tu was not in a hurry to capture the poisonous flying ant. Instead, his eyes flashed slightly, and he took a big step back to avoid the attack of the poisonous flying ant.

Seeing that the attack failed.

The iron-poison flying ant frantically vibrated the transparent insect wings on its back and attacked Wei Tu again.

Amid the "hissing" sound of insect wings vibrating.

The next moment, the poisonous flying ant disappeared into the insect chamber, and when it reappeared, it was already close to Wei Tu's neck.

"Is it similar to the ability of the golden marrow worm to hide its body?"

"The poisonous flying ants also gained this ability after devouring a large number of golden marrow insects?"

Seeing this, Wei Tu became very interested. After all, the golden marrow worm's ability to hide itself could deceive even the huge spiritual sense of "Grandma Tu". If it weren't for his "reminder", Xue Qiongyu and the others would have long ignored the golden marrow worm in the Golden Marrow Hall.

You know, Granny Tu’s spiritual consciousness is at the peak level of Refining Void!

Now, the Iron Poison Flying Ant has acquired this magical power, and combined with its original powerful poison power, the blessing of this combat power is not a simple one plus one...

Wei Tu retreated dozens of steps to avoid the attack of the poisonous flying ants. At the same time, he tried to control the strength of his spiritual sense to test the effect of the invisibility of the poisonous flying ants.

This is also because he is skilled and bold.

If it were an ordinary Void Refiner, being stung by a sixth-order poisonous insect like the Iron Poison Flying Ant, not to mention whether it would succeed in killing its master, serious injury would almost certainly be unavoidable.

After testing for a while.

A trace of regret gradually appeared on Wei Tu's face.

It is true that the Iron Poison Flying Ant gained the invisibility ability of the Golden Marrow Worm after it advanced, but its effect was far less powerful than that of the Golden Marrow Worm.

A cultivator in the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm would discover the existence of the poisonous flying ants if he paid a little attention.

However, this was enough to surprise him, because it meant that the Iron Poison Flying Ants could launch a "sneak attack" and "kill with one blow" on cultivators below the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm.

In addition, the Iron Poison Flying Ants serve more as a supplement to his combat power and play a role of surprise. This has become a powerful means for him to deal with the middle stage of the Void Refining Stage.

"Next, we need to test the toxicity of the iron-poison flying ants."

Wei Tu took a look at the poisonous flying ants that were attacking him non-stop, narrowed his eyes slightly, and immediately made a hand gesture to activate the "soul seal" in the poisonous flying ants' brains.

Under the restraint of this soul seal, even though the Iron Poison Flying Ant had the ability to resist after its strength increased greatly, its body froze in the next moment and it almost fell from the air.

Seeing this, Wei Tu continued to pursue the victory. After a green light flashed between his eyebrows, he transformed into a "sky ghost" and pressed down the poisonous flying ants in front of him with his huge spiritual power.

The spiritual consciousness of most spiritual insects is not as good as that of cultivators of the same level.

What's more, Wei Tu's spiritual consciousness had already reached the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm when he was in the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm. He was far beyond the reach of the Iron Poison Flying Ant, a spiritual insect that had just broken through to the sixth level.

Plus there are the restrictions of the "Soul Seal".

Immediately, the poisonous flying ants that had been extremely ferocious just now became chopping blocks for Wei Tu to do whatever he wanted.

Half a day later.

After reinforcing the soul seal of the iron-poison flying ants, Wei Tu began to test the specific toxicity of the iron-poison flying ants.

The results are still encouraging.

The iron-poison flying ants that have advanced to the sixth level still have a powerful toxicity that is deadly to cultivators of the same level and can threaten physical cultivators of the same level.

This made Wei Tu secretly relieved. The purpose of his cultivating the iron-poison flying ants was to use the deadly poison of the insect to kill monks. If the insect lost this characteristic, its advancement to the sixth level would be tantamount to drawing water with a bamboo basket.

After all, with his and the Blood-Winged Mok's strength, they already have the ability to crush the cultivators in the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm, so there is no need to have an additional Iron-Poison Flying Ant as a helper.

……

Time passes slowly.

Wei Tu, who was practicing in the cave, patiently consolidated his body refining realm, and at the same time carefully studied the innate treasure talisman in the true spirit bone, and delved into the magical power of "moving mountains" contained therein.

Two years later, Wei Tu's state of stabilization had come to an end, and his research on the ability to move mountains had also reached a new level, and it would be difficult for him to make further progress in a short period of time.

However, he was in no hurry to leave.

until--

When the talisman with the logo of "Ancestor Temple of Mankind" was delivered to the entrance of his cave by the monk, he breathed a sigh of relief and opened the stone door of the cave that had been sealed for a long time.

Dangyang Mountain is not his base after all.

His fame attracted the attention and envy of the world, but also jealousy and hatred.

Although the identity of a monk from the Temple of Human Ancestors cannot completely prevent the occurrence of such incidents, the probability of their occurrence will be greatly reduced after wearing this "tiger skin".

At least, the "secret plot" from within the human race will not appear during this "panic" time.

"If you drip blood on this jade tablet, you can enter the secret realm of the Human Ancestor Temple?"

Wei Tu opened the talisman and quickly read some greetings written by Jiang Lingzi to him. Then he picked up the purple jade tablet with the words "Ancestor of Man" engraved on it which was placed inside the talisman.

“You’ll know if you try it.” Wei Tu did not hesitate. He raised his eyebrows slightly, bit his fingertips, and dripped a drop of blood on the purple jade plate.

The next moment, the purple jade token glowed brightly, spun in the air, and flew straight to his wrist and disappeared.

And on the wrist, there was a corresponding purple "人" character brand.

"Same as the Earth Seal?"

Wei Tu raised his other wrist, and saw that this wrist, as his magic power was activated, also revealed a similar, almost identical mark with the word "Earth" engraved on it.

But then he thought about it and understood. Fairy Xuanling was a native of the spiritual world. When she created the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace, she must have borrowed a lot from the secret realm of the Ancestor Temple. It was normal that the method of entering was similar.

"If that's the case, can we use the secret realm of the Ancestor Temple to leave Dangyang Mountain without making any noise?"

Wei Tu's heart moved, and he pondered secretly.

There is no use in thinking too much.

Next, Wei Tu did not waste any time and immediately activated the "Human Character Dao Seal" in his hand, trying to enter the legendary secret realm of the Human Ancestor Temple in the Holy Emperor Domain.

next moment.

The world immediately turned upside down.

When Wei Tu came to his senses, he found himself in a rather large white jade square.

People were hurrying around.

However, what is quite strange is that these monks all wear conical hats, black robes, and even their body shapes are almost the same.

He looked up and immediately realized that he, like these black-robed monks, was wearing a bamboo hat that came from nowhere on his head, and his green robe had been changed to black.

"Law domain! This is the law domain of the powerful!"

Wei Tu suddenly realized that these bamboo hats and black robes must have been deliberately created by the Human Ancestor Temple to provide protection for them, the "descendants".

as predicted!

Soon, he found two or three monks dressed in normal robes near the square and in the buildings around the square.

There are no exceptions.

These monks dressed in normal robes are all in the fusion realm and exude terrifying spiritual pressure.

"It's a good thing." Wei Tu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his fear of the Jingwang Society was greatly reduced.

He was also worried that if he did not agree to join the Jingwang Society, he would be retaliated against by the Jingwang Society in the Human Ancestor Temple. Now it seems that with this "protection measure", even if the Jingwang Society wanted to retaliate against him, it would not be so easy.

Then, Wei Tu followed Jiang Lingzi's instructions and flipped his palm to take out a sound-transmitting jade talisman. He held it tightly in his hand and then crushed it with a sudden force.

The jade talisman flashed slightly and disappeared into the secret realm.

Half a day later, a monk wearing a conical hat and a black robe came to Wei Tu.

Seeing the monk approaching, Wei Tu frowned slightly and looked alert.

"It's me." The black-robed monk spoke softly, and lifted his robe, revealing a trace of his breath.

"Senior Jiang Lingzi?"

Wei Tu was startled, as if he had not expected that Jiang Lingzi, who was at the level of fusion, would actually "hide and be humble" and deliberately conceal his identity in the secret realm of the Human Ancestor Temple.

"It's better to be careful. If you don't become a great master, you will always be an ant in the spirit world. Although I am a fusion, but... because of this dazzling talent, I have offended many people of the same race and different races..."

"If you are not careful, it is not unthinkable that he will die in a foreign land one day."

Jiang Lingzi smiled slightly and said calmly.

After hearing this, Wei Tu agreed greatly and felt deeply that he and Jiang Lingzi were of the same kind of people, both of whom were indeed ascended monks from the human world.

Only in this way could he break through two realms in a short period of time of a thousand years of ascension and become a powerful being without dying during this period.

Obviously, all this is not accidental, but the result of Jiang Lingzi's cautious and careful behavior over the years.

"In the secret realm of the Human Ancestor Hall, apart from the Mahayana Patriarch and the person who introduced you, other cultivators, even those who are in the state of fusion, find it difficult to see through your true identity within this domain of rules and laws..."

"So - unless it is necessary, try to hide your identity in the Human Ancestor Hall. This is also something that all the human elders agree and support."

Jiang Lingzi paused and added.

"Our elders are wise." Upon hearing this, Wei Tu couldn't help but praise this rule.

At the same time, he thought to himself: This rule is probably a strategy introduced after the geniuses were repeatedly assassinated by alien races.

At least, he had never seen the introduction of this rule in the inheritance jade slip of Fairy Xuanling.

"In the Renzu Temple, the two most important areas are the Merit Hall and Guyun Mountain."

"The former is responsible for the issuance of tasks, assessments, and the exchange of merit points. The latter is where the spiritual energy of the secret realm of the Human Ancestor Hall gathers, that is, where the cave is located."

"The Hall of Merit is the most important to you and me!"

"Because... there is no shortcut in the Human Ancestor Hall. The only way is to exchange merit for resources!"

Jiang Lingzi said slowly.

At this point, he hesitated for a moment, then continued, "There may be other shortcuts, but they are not something that people like you and me, who have no background or foundation, can dream of."

Wei Tu listened in silence, and it was not difficult for him to understand what Jiang Lingzi said.

No matter in which force or organization, the resources at the bottom are relatively fair. The higher you go, the greater the requirements for background and connections.

In a word.

If there are resources that can achieve the state of fusion or even the state of Mahayana, who would easily give them to someone who has nothing to do with them? Even so, it is better for the human race!
After all - in the eyes of cultivators at a higher level, the 10% chance that their relatives can take advantage of this opportunity to break through is always better than the several-percent chance that other unfamiliar cultivators can take advantage of this opportunity to break through.

“Perhaps, this is why the King Jing Society exists and why it betrays its own people.” Wei Tu exhaled and thought to himself.

The "turtle belly space" of the stone cocoon secret realm is a microcosm of this.

King Jing will offer this opportunity to the human race and perhaps receive a reward, but this reward is undoubtedly destined to be incomparable to the reward he would get if he kept it all to himself and developed it privately.

In his eyes, King Jing would be a behemoth.

But when it comes to the ten spirit tribes of the human race, the so-called King Jing Society is probably just an organization established by the five kings to "band together for warmth."

There is also a difference between fusion and integration.

The early stage of fusion is almost incomparable to the peak of fusion.

In other words - in the early stage of fusion, it is only an admission ticket to the upper echelons of the human race. It does not mean that after having this ticket, you will naturally become a high-ranking official of the human race.

Otherwise, Jiang Lingzi would not have included himself when he mentioned "shortcut" just now.

"I... am looking forward to you achieving the state of fusion. That way, you and I will have the opportunity to work together."

Jiang Lingzi patted Wei Tu on the shoulder and expressed his selfish desire to set up an organization similar to the "Jingwanghui".

"I don't dare to hope for the fusion realm yet."

Wei Tu smiled bitterly and shook his head. He did not become complacent or arrogant because of Jiang Lingzi's favor.

Although he had broken through the sixth level of body refining, which would be of great benefit to his future breakthrough to the fusion realm, in fact, it only increased the probability a little bit and did not mean that it would definitely succeed.

Nowadays, if you think you will succeed before you even reach that stage, it is undoubtedly a joke.

Hearing this, Jiang Lingzi nodded secretly, chuckled, and said nothing more. He motioned Wei Tu to follow him, and led Wei Tu straight out of the square and headed towards the secret "Guyun Mountain". (End of this chapter)
