I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

More than ten days later.

Wei Tu, who left Guangling County, successfully arrived at the "westernmost land" of Tuling Kingdom.

Compared to the prosperity of the hinterland of the Earth Spirit Nation, the Far West was much more barren. Most of the cultivators encountered were magic cultivators, with spiritual cultivators accounting for only a small portion.

After settling in the market town in the far west, Wei Tu immediately searched for the reasons for the Cheng family's demise, but most of the information he obtained was vague and only speculations from outsiders.

There is no real key information.

"Thirteen years ago, due to an unequal distribution of treasures, the three major immortal cultivation families in Guangling County had an internal conflict... The Cheng family was destroyed..."

Outside the market town, Wei Tu frowned slightly, put down the demon cultivator's head that was held upside down in his right palm, and looked thoughtful.

Unable to obtain detailed information through normal channels, he immediately switched to another radical method - directly searching the souls of high-level indigenous monks, hoping to learn details from them.

But unfortunately, even though he captured the famous demon cultivator "Evil Lin Venerable" who was nearby, he only obtained this extremely simple intelligence, without much useful information.

However, from this information, one thing can be confirmed.

——Old Ghost Deng and Old Woman with Snake Staff suddenly attacked the charming young woman. The battle was so “fast, accurate and ruthless” that the outside world didn’t hear much about it, and the dignified Lianxu family “Cheng Family” had already been destroyed.

However, when it comes to treasures, he and Da Yuanshuang have enslaved Deng Laogui and the other two for nearly a hundred years, and they know the assets of these three families very well...

It is unlikely that these three families could suddenly produce treasures that could cause the Void Refining Monks to kill each other.

In addition, the ancestor of the Cheng family, that is, the charming young woman, is also of an extraordinary identity. She is the secret room of the powerful combined power - "Ancestor Lu".

Although he was abandoned by Master Lu, with this identity in mind, how could Old Ghost Deng and Old Woman with Snake Staff dare to kill him?

Back then, he and Da Yuanshuang were extremely wary of this identity and lived in fear for many years.

“There must be a powerful being behind these two people to support them. Otherwise, they would not be able to resolve the anger of Patriarch Lu easily…” Wei Tu thought secretly, and was glad that he did not stay in Guangling County for too long, otherwise, if he attracted the pursuit of a powerful being, it would be difficult to escape.

He was not stupid, so it was not difficult for him to guess that there was a high probability that this powerful being was coming for him and Dayuanshuang.

——Given the “unethical things” they did in the Holy Spirit Country, it was only natural that they attracted powerful people to enforce the law across borders.

However, when he thought of this, he began to have a headache again.

Originally, if he proceeded steadily in the Holy Emperor Domain, whether he took the risk of making a deal with the black-robed monk, or... continued to act as a sixth-rank alchemist and accumulate merit points, there was a good chance that he would be able to obtain a seventh-rank escape weapon comparable to the [Shrinking Step Talisman] before the Dinghai Immortal Ruins opened.

Now, after falling into the small spiritual world, this "stable channel" has undoubtedly been lost.

The only thing to be thankful for is.

This time, without Da Yuanshuang accompanying him, he could use some of his hidden tricks without any worries.

After thinking this, Wei Tu's eyes flashed slightly, and he pointed at the "Evil Lin Venerable" in front of him. A deep gray vortex instantly appeared near the demon cultivator and slowly swallowed him.

After a moment, the only things left on the place were the gray robe worn by "Venerable Evil Lin" and the space magic weapon he carried with him.

At this time, some gray rays of light appeared in Wei Tu's "Life Palace", which were like flowing colors, sometimes gathering and sometimes dispersing. Its aura was exactly the same as that of the Evil Lin Venerable.

This thing is the "life force" in the body of Venerable Evil Lin.

However, Wei Tu did not refine these "life forces" into his body like he had done with the life forces of Priest Sang that he had swallowed before. Instead, he used them to "reshape" his body bit by bit.

Half a day later.

An old cultivator in a gray robe who looked exactly like "Evil Lin Venerable" appeared in the wilderness, his expression revealing a majestic aura without even being angry.

And this is, naturally, another wonderful use of Wei Tu's method of life cultivation.

In other words, this is a new and more advanced method of disguise that he created by combining the "sixth-level body refining" with the "life cultivation method".

The control over the physical body by the sixth level of body refining allows him to “transform” into any cultivator in the world of cultivation.

The "life force" taken away from others can make his soul breath become consistent with that of the cultivator.

"In this way, unless a great immortal comes in person, it will be difficult for any cultivator to see through my disguise..."

Wei Tu flicked his sleeves, raised his hand and picked up the various ornaments of Venerable E Lin scattered on the ground, and put them on one by one.

"It's a pity that I am still in the fourth realm of life cultivation... I am still at the 'Life Palace Realm' and have not yet reached the 'Hidden Life Realm'. It is still difficult to block the perception of the will of heaven and earth. Otherwise, just devouring the life force of other cultivators would be enough for me to quickly break through to the Fusion Realm..."

Wei Tu shook his head and sighed secretly.

Since ascending to the upper realm, he has not devoured other cultivators like he "devoured" Priest Sang in the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace. It is not because he is kind-hearted, but it is the "restraint" of the will of heaven and earth on the cultivators of destiny.

Before reaching the Hidden Life Realm, if one behaves like an evil cultivator and devours the life force of other cultivators, he will surely be targeted by the will of heaven and earth - resulting in bad luck and difficulty in surviving the heavenly calamity.

Moreover, the times back then were different from today.

The secret realm of the Zunwang Palace exists at a spatial node between the human world and the spiritual world, and is not bound by the will of heaven and earth in the two worlds.

In other words, when he devoured Priest Sang, he was in a "no man's land" and would not be punished, so he attacked him without any scruples...

Today's "Evil Lin Venerable" was his first time to eat meat.

Only one death.

It will not arouse the "wrath" of the will of heaven and earth.

……

Wei Tu chose "Reverend Evil Lin" in the westernmost part of Tuling Nation to start with. Besides the fact that he was a demon cultivator who did all kinds of evil, another reason was that this cultivator had a strange temperament and seldom interacted with other cultivators.

Not having anyone close to him means that his disguise is perfect and no one can break it.

Two days later.

According to the memory of Venerable Elin, Wei Tu came to the far west, to a shop called "Yin Shen Pavilion".

The Hidden God Pavilion only does high-end business and is not well-known among the lower-level cultivators in the Far West, but it is well-known among the groups of cultivators who have reached the God Transformation and Void Refining stages.

"A ticket to the Holy Spirit Kingdom." Wei Tu walked into the Hidden God Pavilion and made a request to the shopkeeper in a hoarse voice.

"A ticket to the Holy Spirit Kingdom?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper of Hidden God Pavilion looked at Wei Tu in surprise.

The cross-border teleportation array of the six countries in Zezhong requires "royal permission" for each teleportation and is also extremely costly.

It is simply not something a cultivator at the first level of Spirit Transformation can afford.

Although the Evil Lin Venerable in front of him had a good reputation in the Far West, the owner of the Hidden God Pavilion did not think that he could take out the mid-grade spirit crystals needed to purchase a teleportation ticket.

——Mid-grade spirit crystals are basically monopolized by strong people above the Void Refinement Realm, and rarely reach the hands of the Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators.

“Hmph, I still have a few mid-grade spirit crystals in my hand…” Wei Tu snorted in dissatisfaction, took out a spirit crystal bag from his sleeve and threw it over.

"Seven mid-grade spirit crystals?" The shopkeeper of Hidden God Pavilion was surprised to see this. This number was indeed not small. It was enough to be considered a wealthy man at the Spirit Transformation Realm. Generally, those at the early stage of Refining Void would have to accumulate for many years to have such a fortune.

"Elin, this amount of mid-grade spirit crystals is not enough. A ticket to the Holy Spirit Country requires at least fifteen mid-grade spirit crystals. Add in the bribes to some seniors in the Void Refining Sect... conservatively speaking, it would take twenty."

The shopkeeper of Hidden God Pavilion shook his head, pushed the spirit crystal bag over again, and spoke bluntly.

This information is common knowledge in the Void Refining Realm, but it is a secret in the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Therefore, the shopkeeper of Hidden God Pavilion was not surprised that Wei Tu looked unhappy after hearing these words and knowing that he was a bumpkin.

On the contrary, disappointment was hidden in his eyes, because Wei Tu's ugly face at the moment was enough to prove that these mid-grade spirit crystals were probably all the wealth of this cultivator.

He did not suddenly make a fortune as he had expected.

"Fellow Daoist, could you please be more tolerant? I only have so many mid-grade spirit crystals." Wei Tu's face changed for a long time, and he took a deep breath and said.

“As you are short of more than a dozen mid-grade spirit crystals, no matter how tolerant I am, I can’t help you…” The shopkeeper of Hidden God Pavilion said this unhappily, interrupting Wei Tu’s endless nagging.

Hearing this, Wei Tu's expression changed slightly, and a hint of ferocity appeared in his eyes, but he soon seemed to have thought of something, and looked at the higher-ups of Hidden God Pavilion with fear, then reluctantly flicked his sleeves and left.

"Could it be that this cultivator has offended some enemy, so he is in a hurry to flee from the Earth Spirit Country?" Looking at Wei Tu's departing back, the owner of the Hidden God Pavilion's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked thoughtful.

At this time, Wei Tu left the Hidden God Pavilion and returned to the nearby Xianzhan guest room. The moment he stepped into the guest room, the dissatisfaction on his face disappeared completely, and he regained his calmness.

With his knowledge, how could he not know the amount of spirit crystals needed to take a cross-national teleportation array?

You know, a few decades ago, he and Da Yuanshuang used the Tu Ling Kingdom’s cross-border teleportation array to go to the Holy Spirit Kingdom.

It was obvious that he had done so on purpose when he went to the shopkeeper of Hidden God Pavilion to buy a "teleportation ticket" to the Holy Spirit Kingdom.

The purpose was very simple, which was to make a "psychological assumption" for the monks of Hidden God Pavilion in advance - he, Venerable Elin, had offended the monks in the Earth Spirit Country and urgently needed to leave by taking a cross-border teleportation array.

In this way, when he really collects enough mid-grade spirit crystals, he won't arouse too much suspicion from the people in Hidden God Pavilion.

As for whether the monks of Hidden God Pavilion would become greedy and attack him at that time, that is another question.

"If I can attract the cultivators of the Hidden God Pavilion to take action, that would be a blessing. My combat power in the Refining Void Realm is comparable to that of a cultivator at the "Peak of Refining Void" level... Whoever dares to attack me will be the next Evil Lin Venerable..."

Wei Tu sneered secretly.

When he was in the Holy Emperor Domain, he still had to worry about the danger of depriving others of their "life force" and using it to disguise themselves. After all, the human race did have great immortals living in the world... But in the lawless "Small Spirit Realm", there was nothing to fear at all.

However, after several days of surveillance, Wei Tu did not see any excessive attention paid to him by the Hidden God Pavilion.

Seven middle-grade spirit crystals were obviously not enough for a large chamber of commerce like the Hidden God Pavilion to sell out its reputation and take action against him.

He also gradually suppressed his evil thoughts and began to focus part of his attention on the "Jishan Sect" in the far west.

The Jishan Sect, located in the westernmost part of the Tuling Kingdom, is considered a major sect that dominates the area.

Inside the sect, there are as many as four Void-Refining cultivators, and the number of Spirit-Transforming cultivators is also as many as twenty to thirty.

“Although the Daoist name of this sect, the Great Venerable Lianxu, is different from the Ascended Patriarch of the Jishan Sect, his cultivation method should be from the same source as the Jishan Sect in the Guixu Sea…”

"The two have a deep connection."

Half a month later, Wei Tu made a specific judgment based on the intelligence obtained.

Kung Fu is the foundation of every sect.

The identity of a cultivator can be changed, but the original skills are difficult to change.

Starting from this point, he was confident enough to believe that the Jishan Sect of the small spiritual world originated from the Jishan Sect of the human world.

As for the different Dao names of the Void Refining cultivators...

This can be explained by the "iteration" of the top monks of the Jishan Sect in the small spiritual world - there has been no monk who ascended to heaven in the Guixu Sea in the human world for tens of thousands of years. If this is converted to the Jishan Sect, the number is undoubtedly even worse.

However, it is difficult for ordinary Void-Refining cultivators to live for tens of thousands of years without dying.

“Since he is not an ascended ancestor, it is hard to say how much relationship he has with the Jishan Sect in the human world…”

Wei Tu sighed lightly and gave up the idea of ​​reminiscing with the Jishan Sect of the Small Spiritual Realm.

First, the identity is not appropriate.

In the country of Tuling, it is suspected that a combined powerful being is hunting him down. The "environment" he is in now is much more dangerous than when he first arrived with Dayuan Shuang.

Secondly, it would be difficult for him to bring any benefits to the Jishan Sect in the small spiritual world.

The Jishan Sect is not a weak sect. There are four great Void-Refining Monks alive in the sect. In terms of paper strength alone, they are far more powerful than him.

“But why would the monks of Jishan Sect ascend to the small spiritual world? Did the ancient demon personally abduct them, or is it that... the Guixu Sea is not suitable for ascension?” Wei Tu thought about this question.

But after a moment, he shook his head again and put the question deep in his heart.

This is not something he can consider now.

After breaking through to the fusion and Mahayana stages, he will directly use force to interrogate the ancient demon behind the "small spiritual world".

Nowadays, he focuses on exploring the mystery, and even if he knows the answer, it will not be of any benefit to him.

But just when Wei Tu was about to leave the "Far West" of the Earth Spirit Kingdom and look for other opportunities to go to the Holy Spirit Kingdom.

The shopkeeper of Hidden God Pavilion suddenly sent him an invitation to meet.

This sudden invitation made Wei Tu hesitant, but considering his own powerful strength, after a moment of thought, he took off the talisman at the door, and flew towards the direction of the Hidden God Pavilion with a flash of light.

Soon, he was led by the waiter of Hidden God Pavilion to a private room on the second floor of the attic.

In this box, not only is there the shopkeeper of Hidden God Pavilion, but there is also a beautiful woman in a red dress who is about thirty years old and is at the peak of the transformation of the spirit.

"I hope you won't blame me for rashly inviting Daoist Fellow Elin."

The shopkeeper of Hidden God Pavilion smiled slightly and stepped forward to bow.

While speaking, the shopkeeper of Hidden God Pavilion also secretly informed Wei Tu of the origins of the beautiful woman in front of him.

"Miao Shu Fairy from Hongxiang Tower."

Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly.

After spending half a year in the Far West, he had a pretty good understanding of the nearby sects and forces.

Hongxianglou is a famous spiritual force nearby.

It is similar to the Hehuan Sect in the human world. The main practice within the sect is dual cultivation, and it also runs some flesh trade.

There are countless similar forces in the world of immortal cultivation. After all, among all the industries of immortal cultivation, no matter what is lacking, it is unlikely that the ecological niche of "brothel" is lacking.

"The boss invited me here. Is there something important?" Wei Tu interrupted in a bad tone, looking like he was in a difficult position to communicate.

The words fell.

Fairy Miao Shu and the shopkeeper of Yinshen Pavilion did not take it seriously. All cultivators knew the bad reputation of Venerable E Lin, and it would be a strange thing if he was kind to others.

"Don't be anxious, fellow Daoist Elin..."

The shopkeeper of Hidden God Pavilion chuckled, extended his hand to gesture for Wei Tu to take a seat, and at the same time, he told Wei Tu the reason why he invited him here.

At first, Wei Tu didn't care, but after the owner of Hidden God Pavilion finished his story, his face became serious.

It's like a blind cat catching a dead sparrow.

He had come to the Hidden God Pavilion not long ago, hoping to purchase a "teleportation ticket" to the Holy Spirit Kingdom. Coincidentally, Fairy Miao Su would also be leaving the Earth Spirit Kingdom by taking the teleportation array soon.

It is expensive to open a long-distance teleportation array for one person, but if one more person can share the cost, it will be much cheaper.

After obtaining the consent of Fairy Miao Su, the owner of Yinshen Pavilion sent a talisman to inform Wei Tu that he had arrived.

However, the only drawback is that Fairy Miao Su did not go to the Holy Spirit Kingdom, but to the "Fire Spirit Kingdom" adjacent to the Earth Spirit Kingdom.

Hear this.

Wei Tu felt quite conflicted.

After all, the reason he fabricated for the owner of Hidden God Pavilion to leave the Earth Spirit Kingdom was... to avoid enemies.

If you want to avoid your enemies, it is naturally feasible to go to the Holy Spirit Kingdom or the Fire Spirit Kingdom.

"I wonder why Fairy Miao Su is in such a hurry to leave the Tuling Kingdom?" Wei Tu's eyes flashed, and he turned to look at the beautiful woman in a red dress sitting on the rosewood chair with a smile on her face, and asked in a deep voice.

As soon as the woman replied, he found another excuse to reject this "good thing".

The Fire Spirit Country was not a good place for him to go. After going to the Fire Spirit Country, he would have to familiarize himself with the country again and then find a way to go to the Holy Spirit Country...

"Well... there's nothing to hide. It's a lover of mine. He wants to take me to the Fire Spirit Country to see the world... and attend a great fusion ceremony of a great master."

"He gave me two places to accompany him... I didn't plan to let my servants go with these two places, so I came to the Hidden God Pavilion to sell them in exchange for resources..."

Fairy Miao Shu said something slightly different from what the owner of Hidden God Pavilion said.

It does not actively seek out fellow Taoists to share the transmission costs.

Instead, he was lucky enough to get two teleportation slots from a powerful person and used them to sell.

However, the "supply and demand relationship" behind it is the same.

"The fusion ceremony?"

"A cultivator from the Fire Spirit Nation has achieved a breakthrough to the fusion state?"

Wei Tu raised an eyebrow and continued with this remark.

Because of the Holy Spirit Stone, the success rate of the combined monks of the six countries in Zezhong is much higher than that of the spiritual world.

But this probability does not mean that it is easy for a combined power to appear. It is still one in a million.

For example, in the Earth Spirit Nation, there are only three known powerful combined beings.

As a powerful country, the Holy Spirit Kingdom can have more, but they are only as many as the palm of one hand.

This number is enough to show how rare it is to have a newly-promoted powerful being in the "Six Kingdoms in the Lake".

"I have rarely heard of that great combined being. I only know that he seems to be the leader of a sect... and his Taoist name is "Multi-Eyes."

Fairy Miao Shu smiled slightly and replied.

"More eyes?"

After hearing this, Wei Tu was shocked.

He was not unfamiliar with this Taoist name. More than two hundred years ago, when he was searching for the soul of the Demon Cloud God in the Divine Fire Immortal Realm, he had already engraved this Taoist name deeply in his mind.

However, because of this cultivator's identity, he and Master Su Xin are more accustomed to calling him - the Leader of the Demon Cloud Sect!

"After this cultivator broke through the fusion stage, he actually... came to the Six Kingdoms in the Marsh? Or... is he originally a native of the Six Kingdoms in the Marsh?"

Wei Tu looked calm, but his heart was filled with turmoil. (End of this chapter)
