The Ascension of the Evil Path: Starting from Refining Gu

Chapter 597: Secret Realm of Cijintian

The old ape's head was enveloped in the palace of flesh and blood. Waves of spiritual attacks rushed into the spiritual sea, and the movements were visibly slowing down.

The ten evil infants that pounced on it broke away and turned to the other four giant apes.

Liu Feng didn't wait long before the headless corpse of the old ape was thrown over. The circle shrank and was filled into the Demon Transformation Pond. The demonic energy in the pool became visibly thicker.

After getting rid of the Night Demon clan's ancestor and the four True Immortal Giant Apes, Liu Xiaoxiao took all the evil infants and headed straight for the ancestors of the two spirit clans.

Outside the cyclone, in the earth vein energy at the rear, the remaining descendants of the Night Demon clan and three thousand slaves had already lost their courage and controlled the magic boat to turn around and return to the ravine where the earth vein energy was weaker.

Without the level of true immortals, they can only find the original entrance to leave.

Thousands of slaves protected the Night Demons as they fled, but in the end they were unable to escape more than two thousand miles.

A large net that was thirty miles long was spread out, and behind the net was a middle-aged woman with a look of disgust. She was the fairy from the Emperor's Palace who was attracted by the commotion here.

Inside the eye of the cyclone, the fight here has come to an end.

With Liu Xiaoxiao attacking head-on and the other immortals and Buddhas besieging them, the ancestors of the two spirit tribes died. All the spiritual objects and elixirs on their bodies were stripped away, along with some skills that could lead to the true immortal level.

As for the black dragon and the vine monster, they were eaten by the evil spirits here.

Liu Feng did not compete with the evil spirits for food, and this trip was fruitful. He and his followers were able to get some elixirs.

“Woo-wah, woo-wah…”

The fourteen surviving evil infants suddenly howled in pain, the foul auras on their bodies blending together and connecting with each other.

Immediately afterwards, the evil infant's body swelled and bled, gathering together to become a fourteen-headed monster with many arms and legs.

The group looked at Liu Xiaoxiao and discovered that it was the mother of the evil baby who was casting evil spells.

"The bitch from the Imperial Daughter's Palace is here, let's go... This is the only time she can show off her power..." Liu Xiaoxiao's eyes were sinister, with a meaningful smile on her lips.

She captured the three ancestors and snatched 50 million followers from them before they destroyed their inner world.

Believers who have been trained for a long time by other immortals and Buddhas are like pigs and dogs kept in the inner world.

It is much easier to control these believers and collect their wills than to take in new living beings to raise them. She only needs to spend some time using magic to distort these people's minds and convert them to believe in her, the Holy Mother.

Once she has collected and refined enough willpower, it will be time for her to reassemble the willpower wheel and become an evil immortal.

The evil infant with fourteen heads went back, while the others fled forward using the energy of the earth veins.

There was a roar of air waves from the rear, and the Evil Infant at the True Immortal level could not resist it for long, but by following the energy of the earth veins, a few breaths were enough to create a huge gap.

……

In the deserted south, black sand dunes overlap like mountains.

The crescent moon hangs upside down, and groups of creatures, some human and some demon, come together from the hills, rushing to a secret place called "Cijintian".

Most of these creatures gathered from all over the place are below the eighth realm and cannot survive for too long outside. They can only rely on other immortals and Buddhas to survive, or search for ruins and secret places on their own that can resist the loss of vitality.

Hundreds of thousands of creatures moved under the moonlight, so the entrance to the secret realm changed every day, and they had to search hard for the entrance to the secret realm.

They had only heard rumors that the predecessor of "Ci Jin Tian" was the inner world left behind by a great Buddhist figure when he passed away.

In an ownerless inner world like this, it is impossible to completely resist the loss of vitality. It can only resist partially. However, it is better than wandering outside and waiting to die.

Hundreds of thousands of creatures were searching among the hills, and the black sand in all directions suddenly undulated in large areas.

"rumble……"

As the ground shook continuously, huge trees with black fruits hanging on them emerged from the ground.

The branches swayed, and thousands of black fruits fell to the ground, transforming into cultivators with evil expressions, including those in the eighth and ninth realms, and even immortals and Buddhas.

There was no need for these thousands of evil monks to take action. Fourteen giant trees stretched out their roots into the sky and attacked the living beings gathered nearby. In an instant, inhumane cries were heard.

At the same time, the roots of the giant tree explored the surrounding two thousand miles, searching for the secret place.

An ownerless secret place like "Cijintian" has gone through a hundred thousand years, so it is impossible for it to completely disappear into the void. There must be part of it left in this area, so it is not difficult to find it.

Many evil monks looked relaxed, just waiting to break into the secret realm and have a feast.

The ruins or secret realms in various places were mostly ownerless and dilapidated places without any powerful immortals or Buddhas. In this way, in their eyes, they were just livestock pens that could be harvested every few years.

At the moment, there are a hundred of them who need to reach the level of immortals and Buddhas, and it is time to harvest. Relying solely on the life of living beings to replenish the effect is not so good, but at least a few immortals and Buddhas can be born.

At this time, within the Cijin Heaven.

The territory of more than 100,000 miles accommodates more than 80 to 90 billion creatures. There is no country here, and ordinary creatures and low-level cultivators are all protected by the power of the sect.

Different from the eternal moonlit night in the virtual world, this secret world has day and night.

A big sun was hanging in the sky, it was just at noon. On the earth, there were cities and villages of all sizes, as well as places illuminated by spiritual light where immortals and Buddhas sat.

To the north of the secret realm, there is a Gu Master force called the Yunxian Sect. At the entrance of the temple hall within the sect, which covers an area of ​​several miles, there is an endless stream of believers who go in to worship the Gu Immortal.

The statue in the center of the hall looks like the Gu Immortal Yunmeng with a human head and an insect body.

Beside the main statue, there are several statues of his subordinate Gu Immortals, all of whom are perfect True Immortals and have reached the level where they need to receive incense and vows.

Without any warning, the eyes of the insect-transformed Bai Ze statue on the far left turned and looked towards the entrance to this world, sensing the presence of evil spirit.

"No matter how the entrance changes, no matter how the immortals and Buddhas of various sects try to cover it up, it still can't be hidden from these evil soul-rebellious cultivators."

While thousands of believers in the temple were unaware of what was happening, a dignified middle-aged man in white clothes and white hair walked out from his statue.

To him, what matters are only his own and Lord Yunmeng's followers. The life or death of other forces or even other races has nothing to do with them.

But every time the evil cultivator came here, he required each family to hand over some of their cultivators, who were his most useful followers.

The dozen or so temple priests guarding the temple immediately stood up and quietly came behind the white-haired middle-aged man. The believers around him turned a blind eye.
"Master Bai, we will take care of anything you need." The old temple priest who was in the early stage of True Immortal said respectfully.

This white-haired middle-aged man with the surname Bai is actually Bai Lin, the Bai Ze Demon Lord who was once famous throughout the world. Not too long has passed since then, and he has already cultivated to the perfection of a True Immortal. His aptitude can be said to be not bad.

At the moment, it is his real body that has come here to take charge. One is to expand the power of Lord Yunmeng, and the other is to hunt down some of the remnants of the Holy Lanfo Mountain who have hidden in this secret world.

"Select three hundred disciples from the weakest parts of the sect and twenty with outstanding qualifications." Bai Lin said calmly.

More than a dozen temple priests reacted immediately, their eyes showing both anger and helplessness. There were countless evil cultivators born in the virtual world because of the Soul-Reversing Tree. If they were to gather together, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were a force comparable to that of a large sect.

With a force like theirs, how could they dare to offend the evil cultivator of the Soul-Returning Tree? Looking around this secret world, no sect dares to offend them, and they all have to hand over their enemies.

There are only some desperate wild cultivators who dare to kill some evil cultivators and then run for their lives. As for whether they can escape is another matter.

At the entrance to heaven and earth, the evil energy has become increasingly dense. From afar, there are many python-like tree roots, which are the roots of the Soul-Returning Tree.

"I'll do it right away." The old temple keeper took the order and walked out of the hall to select the disciples to be offered.

While the two were talking, thousands of evil cultivators above the eighth realm, led by twelve evil immortals and evil Buddhas, broke into this world from between the roots of the Soul-Returning Tree.

The twelve true immortals and true Buddhas could be driven away if the immortals and Buddhas from various sects joined forces. The reason they handed them over honestly was that they were afraid of attracting more powerful evil immortals and evil Buddhas.

Just like the evil rebellious soul-killing cultivators who had come here to kill people over the past thousand years, this time they took hundreds of disciples from various sects, and then forcibly took away some lives in various cities and villages.

In just a short moment, there were sounds of fear everywhere, and the believers who were worshiping the statue in the hall also screamed in surprise.

However, these believers are all mortals, and as their vitality fades, they generally do not live beyond fifty years.

A thousand years seems so long to the mortals here. The legend of evil cultivators coming here to reap lives is left by their ancestors.

Therefore, the mortals living here only know fear, and have no idea what the Soul-Returning Tree and the evil Soul-Returning Cultivator are.

Without waiting for the believers in the hall to panic, Bai Lin released and retracted his divine consciousness.

Thousands of believers instantly calmed down, and outside the temple, the Yunxian Sect’s sphere of influence was three hundred miles, and all the immortals and Buddhas also felt as if they were in a dream and had no fear.

In order to prevent the evil soul cultivators from randomly arresting people, Bai Lin wanted to go out and intimidate them. But his eyes suddenly moved, and he turned around and came to the main statue in the middle.

"Master, what do you want me to do?" Bai Lin, who has reached the perfect state of True Immortal, actually has no control over his life and death.

A phantom figure walked out from between the eyebrows of the statue with a human head and an insect body. It was a wisp of Yunmeng's soul.

The woman had a gloomy face and was in a bad mood. She glanced at the evil soul-returning cultivator who was arresting people outside the palace, but was too lazy to care about it. She transmitted her voice, "I want you to keep an eye on someone. That person has left the northern wilderness and may have come to the southern wilderness. He may have entered the secret realm of Cijintian to hide and practice."

"If you find this person, you must report it to me immediately. Don't do it yourself."

The method and appearance performed by Liu Feng were sent into the Bailin Spiritual Sea along with the sound transmission.

"Ninth Realm!" Bai Lin was a little surprised. He didn't know how a junior in the Ninth Realm could make Lord Yunmeng so angry, and he couldn't take the initiative to arrest him.

At that moment, he was still unaware of the great battle that had taken place at the ruins of Pingtian Palace, nor did he know that Yunmeng had a perfect immortal clone who had been killed by Liu Feng.

After explaining everything to Bai Lin, Yun Meng's soul rushed out of the hall and went to refine a pool of poisonous insects in the sect.

A group of compound eyes made up of hundreds of insect eyes rose into the air and scanned all directions.

Then, Bai Lin heard the voice transmission again.

"The evil soul-rebellious cultivators harvested lives and forced out the remnants of the Holy Lanfu Mountain. You lead people to capture them. These remnants can be exchanged for a lot of immortal insect medicines when they are brought to Qingxiao Palace."

Upon hearing this, a large number of sub-parasites with eyeballs squeezed out of Bai Lin's body. After a search, he saw a group of Buddhist practitioners being hunted by the evil soul-rebellious practitioners in the south.

The Holy Lanfo Mountain was destroyed, and the remnants hid everywhere. After all these years, a True Buddha in the early stage has emerged, and is leading his people to escape to the southern end of this world.

"That is where the void of the secret world is unstable. There are many void cracks and fissures. Could it be that they are hoping to pass through the cracks and escape into the gaps to seek refuge?"

Bai Lin showed disdain in his eyes. A cultivator who was not familiar with the way of the void and trespassed into the unstable void of the virtual world would be in great danger unless he was an immortal or above. Even he, a true immortal and perfect Gu Immortal, did not dare to trespass.

"I will take people to capture them now."

"A quick fight and a quick resolution, it's best not to fight with the evil soul-rebellious cultivators."

Bai Lin's figure disappeared without a trace in the hall, Yun Meng's compound eye poison technique dissipated, and the figure transformed from his split soul walked towards the statue in one step.

The dozen or so remnants of Saint Lanfo Mountain could only exchange for limited amounts of fairy-grade insect medicine, which was of little use to her at her current level, but was better than nothing.

The reason why she asked her subordinates to keep an eye on her was that as a guest elder of Qingxiao Palace, she had to listen to the words of the old ghost of Qingxiao Palace.

If we look at it from a broader perspective, this matter involves the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, and the concept of Taoist destiny. It is difficult to fathom her immortal realm.

Anyway, Qingxiao Palace and other Taoist sects have destroyed many Buddhist sects, and Shenglan Buddha Mountain is just an insignificant small force among them.

After a while, the voices of several temple priests and disciples talking could be heard outside the hall.

"Hey, there are still people in this world who dare to chase and kill the evil soul-rebellious cultivators! Which faction is this cultivator from? I don't think I've seen him before."

"Master Chen Miaozhu, they may have just come in during the chaos, and the tree roots at the entrance... have all been flattened!"

"Not only did they destroy the Soul-Resisting Tree, but they also ate the evil cultivators. What kind of sacred branch is that?"

After hearing the conversation outside the hall, he was about to concentrate on collecting Yunmeng's soul to refine his willpower, but he felt that this style sounded familiar.

She frowned and walked out of the statue again.

A compound eye appeared outside the hall again, locking onto a group of dirty clouds heading south. Behind the clouds were large ripples of empty space, and inside them was a huge black ring.

"This audacious evildoer has really come to the deserted south and has acquired a new force."

"If he continues to kill like this, he will definitely attract more evil immortals and evil Buddhas. If he kills them all and leaves, my forces here will most likely be in trouble."

Within the field of vision of the compound eye, surrounding the clouds and black rings are four waves and eight realms with different skills. Their number is much greater than the anti-soul evil cultivators who came in, and they are chasing the evil cultivators everywhere.

All those who were killed or captured were sent to the black ring, where there was a tower and a demon that could barely be considered a human being, who was devouring and refining the evil cultivator who had turned against his soul.

Staring angrily at the center of the ripples in the void, Yun Meng took a closer look and discovered the real body of Liu Feng, who was like an old ancestor of a place, guarded by a circle of immortals and Buddhas in the center.

Seeing that this evil creature had more and more immortals and Buddhas under his command, Yun Meng felt something was wrong.

"He hasn't even become an immortal or Buddha yet, but he has already gathered so much power... We can't let him run around everywhere anymore."

Even if a fragment of soul could temporarily create an incarnation, it would definitely not be able to defeat Liu Feng. Without hesitation, she rushed to the greedy body in Huangbei and immediately turned here.

If it weren't for the fact that her original body had been comprehending the realm of the two bodies over the years and it was really inconvenient for it to come out, she would have to bring her original body out to catch people.

Otherwise, when Liu Feng has been in the major domains of the virtual world for a few years, he might bring people to demolish her temple or even attack her body one day.
