Mortal: The Heavenly Spiritual Root that Begins from the Demonic Path

"The second round of this grand ceremony begins today."

"The first round lasted nearly a month. In the end, sixteen monks entered the second round. Congratulations."

"After entering this round, we decided to give you a little reward, a furnace tripod from the Hehuan Sect for each of you."

"And then, the second round begins now."

The old demon Hehuan opened his mouth with a simple greeting and then directly announced the start of the competition. After the start, the referee brought sixteen beautiful female cultivators and sent them to the cultivators one by one.

Yi Jue took a look at the cauldron presented to him. He was handsome and his cultivation had reached the middle stage of foundation building, which was quite good.

Looking at the vaguely visible skin, Yi Jue was not in a hurry, but directly put it into the Hundred Beauty Bracelet. However, many people present actually started to touch it.

Especially Ge Yu, who has a charming figure and is known as the Jade Girl. Apparently, Ge Yu was assigned to a handsome male cultivator who is very considerate.

This male cultivator also had a charming look, and his eight abdominal muscles were faintly visible under the veil. At this moment, Ge Yu was slowly stroking the abdominal muscles of this male cultivator, which stimulated her and made her pretty face slightly red.

As the referee announced the start of the first battle, except for the two warring parties who left the field, the remaining fourteen Jindan cultivators actually condensed fourteen treasure chairs in mid-air and sat down directly with their furnaces.

Unfortunately, in the first match, Miao Jun played against the third place in his group, and the third place player chose to admit defeat directly.

The second match started right away, and it was between Yi Jue and the cultivator named Han from the Yuling Sect.

"The second group, Ziweiyuan Yi Jue, versus Yulingzong Han Fengmiao, both players are invited to enter the venue."

Yi Jue stood up, and the throne formed by the gold-eating insects behind him suddenly dissipated, and then turned into two spears and flew down.

As for the cultivator from the Yuling Sect, the throne behind him was actually transformed from a butterfly. There were not many butterflies, only a few thousand, but each one was much larger than Yi Jue's gold-eating insect.

Yi Jue had known about Han Fengmiao's spiritual insect long ago. It was the 31st on the list of strange insects, the Fantasy Flower Butterfly.

"The Fantasy Flower Butterfly is a vicious insect that gathers in groups. It ranks 31st on the list of strange insects. It likes to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and is good at devouring the essence of plants and trees. It is extremely fierce. The mist it exhales can make living beings hallucinate. It is best at absorbing the spiritual energy of cultivators when they are hallucinated. It can trap spiritual insects in spider webs and is afraid of being burned by fire."

Yi Jue looked at the records on the list of strange insects, and then he had an idea in his mind. Han Fengmiao also knew that Yi Jue had ferocious insects such as gold-eating insects in his hands, so naturally he made targeted arrangements.

At the beginning, both of them directly controlled the ferocious insects to bite. Yi Jue's gold-eating insect directly transformed into a spear for close combat, while Han Fengmiao's fantasy flower butterfly transformed into an extremely huge and bright flower, and began to continuously emit mist.

Yi Jue knew very well how powerful this mist was, so he immediately activated the Netherworld Spirit Fire, burning directly towards the flowers. The Fantasy Flower Butterflies immediately scattered, scattering a large amount of pollen, which exploded directly, and the entire arena was filled with pink mist.

Yi Jue used gold-eating bugs to directly eat all the mist. After a while, thousands of gold-eating bugs fell down. Yi Jue was not surprised and directly put them away.

Then, the gold-eating beetle transformed into a spear and charged repeatedly, and the phantom flower butterflies kept falling.

Seeing the ferocious gold-eating insects, Han Fengmiao held back her heartache and continued to fight back with the Illusion Flower Powder Butterflies. After the gold-eating insects ate a certain amount of fog, they would fall into an illusion and lose control of their wings. Yi Jue directly put them back into the pet bag. The Illusion Flower Powder Butterflies that were eaten died directly. In addition, the number of Illusion Flower Powder Butterflies was far less than that of the gold-eating insects. Therefore, when Han Fengmiao saw that the gold-eating insects had only lost a few thousand, she realized that she had underestimated the maturity of the gold-eating insects.

"Isn't it said that this kind of spiritual insect is the most difficult to cultivate? How come there are so many gold-eating insects, and they are so mature?"

"It seems that's the only way to do it."

As he was thinking, an extremely huge spider was released. Once it was released, it spit out an extremely huge spider web and flew towards the gold-eating insect.

Yi Jue hurriedly controlled the gold-eating bugs to disperse and escape, but time was limited and there were still thousands of gold-eating bugs trapped in the spider webs. Yi Jue simply swept the Seven-Star Sword in his hand, and the sword energy cut through the spider webs, releasing the gold-eating bugs.

Then, the huge spider began to spit out spider webs from its mouth. This spider had actually reached the level of a fifth-level monster. The spider webs were flexible and tight. Gold-eating bugs were naturally restrained by this type of spider webs. If it weren't for Yi Jue's help, I'm afraid a large number of them would have been captured.

This time, Yi Jue raised his hand, and tens of thousands of gold-eating insects flew directly to Yi Jue's side, and then turned into a spear. The spear was extremely sharp, and the whole body was gold and silver.

Then, Yi Jue put away the Seven Star Sword, held the spear in his hand, pointed at the spider, and said,

"I want to see what's so powerful about you, a spider."

Han Fengmiao would naturally not allow Yi Jue to fight the spider directly. If the spider was killed here, it would be helpless against the gold-eating beetle.

Moreover, seeing how Yi Jue turned the gold-eating bug into a weapon, he was also a little surprised. The gold-eating bug was an extremely tiny bug. If one wanted to completely control it, one would need a strong spiritual power.

If one wants to turn it into a weapon, not only must the divine thoughts be divided sufficiently, but the strength of the divine thoughts must also be strong enough, otherwise the weapon will disperse at the first impact.

Looking at the spear in Yi Jue's hand, it is obviously not a fake one, and what I heard before that Yi Jue's consciousness is as strong as that of a Nascent Soul must be true.

Han Fengmiao felt a bit of a headache, but as a cultivator of the Yuling Sect, he ignored everything else and specialized in restraining the countless spiritual insects and pets of various cultivators.

There was a flash of light from his waist, and three gigantic rhinoceros beetles were released.

Han Fengmiao spoke the first words since the two had fought.

"This is the Black Armored Rhinoceros Beetle. I got it by chance after I established my foundation. It has been more than three hundred years since then."

"Let these little darlings of mine come and see how much you are capable of."

Yi Jue looked at the black-armored rhinoceros beetle, and a record flashed through his mind.
"The Black-armored Rhinoceros Beetle is a solitary spirit insect, ranked 21st on the list of strange insects. It is completely black, covered as if covered with black armor, extremely strong and powerful. It has a large horn on its head, which is extremely strong and indestructible. It likes an environment with fertile soil and is often found in deep mountains. It has difficulty giving birth and grows slowly."

Yi Jue said,

"What a Black-armored Rhinoceros Beetle! What a 21st on the List of Strange Insects! Let me try and see which is harder, the gold-eating beetle or the shell of this Black-armored Rhinoceros Beetle." (End of this chapter)
