The Ascension of the Evil Path: Starting from Refining Gu

Seeing the young Gu Master walking away, the girl was reluctant to look away for a long time, staring at the boy's receding back.

People were coming and going on the valley path, and there were other figures preparing medicinal mud beside the mountain wall. The facial features of all the figures were becoming blurred.

The girl sat alone at the foot of the cliff. She wanted to get up, but she felt weak. However, she could not remember why she felt weak.

Just like a person who is dreaming, he often forgets the reality, and only has a few memories of the reality in the dream.

After all, she is just an obsession.

The scenes in the valley have been repeated countless times and over countless years.

At some point, a spiritual light appeared in the darkness outside the valley. Sensing the external breath, the restrictions outside the illusion started to operate on their own.

The spiritual object supporting the operation of the ban was contaminated, and its operation was intermittent, unable to resist the intrusion of powerful creatures.

"Boom..."

As the air waves surged, a huge white monster sank into the abyss.

There were two women on Bai Ze's back, they were Yun Meng and Ji Qiu who came from Tianmangzhou.

The rest of the Bai Ze, monsters and the corpse cultivators who cleared the way were all guarding outside the entrance to the abyss.

Ji Qiu flew to the front of the valley first, pointing to a piece of Buddha light blooming in the darkness: "That is the Insect Temple. There is a woman in the temple who guards this temple with her obsession. Please don't hurt her."

Yunmeng flew down from Bai Ze's back, ignoring the broken restrictions, and walked straight into the valley.

In the illusion, the girl slowly stood up, looked blankly at the two women outside, and gradually became alert, subconsciously not wanting to let outsiders in.

"Who are you?" She could also respond to outsiders.

As he spoke, a figure flashed out from the small temple in the center of the illusion.

This is a woman with a dazed look and a hunched back. Her appearance has not changed with the passage of time. Because of her body, she can be considered a human-shaped magic weapon. There are many such magic weapons, and they are collectively called "Qin Xian'er" by a certain sect in the virtual world.

The woman's green skirt faded and her figure staggered like a zombie, but she still blocked the entrance to the small temple.

Yun Meng took a look at the obsession in the illusion without responding. Then he looked at the humanoid magic weapon and sneered.

“No wonder the remaining soul didn’t dissipate. It turned out that it moved into the body of this magic weapon… The restriction here should have been set up by the previous life’s Awakening Heart Venerable who separated the previous life’s consciousness from the Three Body River of Liu.”

Ji Qiu walked forward slowly, facing the girl in the illusion, and said softly: "You will see him again soon, you don't have to stay here any longer."

The girl in the illusion didn't know whether she was happy or sad, and stood there in a daze, but Qin Xian'er in front of the temple moved and made way out of the temple gate.

Yun Meng, who was waiting on the side, sneered, too lazy to talk to a dead man, and walked towards the Insect Temple.

This insect temple was left in the world. Due to the obstruction of turbid yin energy, it had been disconnected from Liu Feng for many years and there was not much Buddhist power left.

There is no statue in the temple, but there is a mostly rotten wooden sculpture which vaguely resembles the young Liu Niezhuang.

Looking at the young man's hateful face, Yun Meng resisted the urge to smash the wood carving with a slap and rushed to the altar made of the Yellow Spring Sacred Wood in the temple.

"Fortunately, we managed to fool the corpse cultivators outside and make them empty their pockets. Otherwise, we wouldn't even have enough spiritual objects to offer again."

With a feeling of resentment in his heart, Yun Meng took out most of the spiritual objects and threw them onto the altar.

This time she didn't need to do it herself. The Yellow Springs Divine Tree refined the spiritual objects on its own, and the spiritual light quickly became thicker.

The previous scene of spiritual light rising into the sky did not appear again. Instead, a human figure suddenly grew out of the Yellow Springs Sacred Tree on the altar.

Yun Meng and Ji Qiu only felt a tremendous spiritual pressure descending, and then it subsided in an instant.

Looking at the altar again, there was one more person there. He did not look like a wooden body, but rather a living person with flesh and blood. His aura was deep and unpredictable, and it was impossible to tell his level of cultivation.

This man has black hair draped over his shoulders, and he looks otherworldly and not like an ordinary person. He is in harmony with heaven and earth, and wherever he is is a part of heaven and earth.

When he appeared, he had the appearance of a young man with an indifferent and captivating look in his eyes. The next moment, he looked even younger, like a teenager, and his eyes became calm.

Looking at the young man on the altar, Yun Meng, who had suffered so much, said unceremoniously: "Since you have become an incarnation, you can go find Xuandu by yourself later."

Liu Feng, who looked like a young man, walked down from the altar and saw through the woman's thoughts. She was just thinking about returning to the virtual world and trying to turn the tables by taking advantage of the opportunity under the catastrophe.

"On your own, both routes to the virtual world are blocked, unless a leader comes to pick you up."

This sentence chilled Yunmeng's heart. Liu Feng didn't look at the girl again and came to the outside of the temple.

Looking at the Insect Valley of the past and the illusions that appeared in the valley, his gaze finally settled on Leng Qiuyue, who looked like a girl in the illusion, and he felt a little touched.

"Why bother! Venerable Juexin did not handle this matter properly."

"Before Juexin's consciousness dissipated, he took Qin Xian'er and Leng Qiuyue away. Now it seems that he was unable to get rid of this girl's obsession."

Thinking of this, he remembered his other previous life that was separated from him, Jingchen.

Jing Chen left holding Tao Shiyu's hand, thinking that he would make up for the marriage he owed Tao Shiyu. As for the result, it is unknown.

He could sense another insect temple. Judging from its general location, it was probably the birthplace of Jingchen and Ke Qianrou, Taoxi Village. With another sigh in his heart, he turned to Qin Xian'er, with a chill in his eyes.

Looking at this body again with his current state of mind and experience, he can see through all the mysteries and restrictions at a glance.

Judging from the restrictions, they came from the Polaris Palace, which, like the Imperial Daughter Palace, had both attempted to plot against him.

"My clone will go to the Void Realm Pole Star Palace. They are going to the leader of the Outer Heaven. Whether it is for Qin Xian'er, myself, or my master, we must put an end to it."

One of the seven Taoist weapons that suppressed his master Tanye came from the Jixing Palace.

At this moment, the illusion fluctuated violently.

The girl at the foot of the cliff, Leng Qiuyue, was obsessed with staring at the young man at the temple gate. Her expression became much more lively, and her figure faded and disappeared.

Outside the temple gate, Qin Xian'er straightened up her hunched body. Inside this body, the spirit of the woman that Liu Feng had met on Dongxu Island had long since dissipated, replaced by the remnant soul of Leng Qiuyue.

In front of the temple, just a stone's throw away from the young Liu Feng, Leng Qiuyue, who was wearing Qin Xian'er's body, had a dim look in her eyes and said nothing.

Not far away, Ji Qiu stood on a small path in the valley, also silent, just staring at the young man in front of the temple.

Compared with the two women, Ji Qiu's obsession with Liu Feng faded a lot. She was more of an admirer of Liu Feng after being conquered by him, and she didn't actually have much admiration for him.

Being stared at by the two women, Liu Feng looked at Leng Qiuyue first and said bluntly: "If I become enlightened, you will be in the new world, and your obsessions in this life will be fulfilled in the next life."

There was a slight hesitation in his words, because he had only said half of what he wanted to say.

As he comprehended the method of transformation, he understood more about Daoxuzi's path. If he failed again in his attempt to ascend to heaven, everything would be in vain.

If he succeeds in ascending to heaven and continues Daoxuzi's unfinished possession of another's body, there is no guarantee whether he will still be himself at that time, or whether he will be unable to control himself.

But no matter what, with his realm at that time, even if something happened to his original body, as long as a new world was opened up, a thought would be enough to create another "Liu Feng" to enter reincarnation for him and fulfill the promise he made to Leng Qiuyue here today.

Half a step away, Leng Qiuyue, after so many years, raised the corners of her lips and revealed a smile.

She regained consciousness at this moment, and knew that her remaining soul was extremely weak and lacked spiritual power. Even if she reshaped her body, she would not be able to live again, and she could only reincarnate.

Seeing her nod slightly, Liu Feng raised his hand and grabbed her, peeling out her remaining soul and putting it away.

With a tap of his finger, the body of the magic weapon in a green dress shattered into ashes.

Turning his gaze to Ji Qiu again, Liu Feng shook his head: "You are an immortal species. With my current state, I am not sure if I can save you. However, if you can truly achieve enlightenment, it is not impossible."

He has learned many secrets of the nine immortal species. One thing he is sure of is that the origin of the immortal species is also controlled by that person, but it seems that it cannot be completely erased. He only took away the previous memories of the nine immortal species.

Since the nine sources of immortality are weaker than that person, once he succeeds in ascending to heaven and taking over another's body, it is possible that he will sever Ji Qiu's connection with the source of immortality.

After getting Liu Feng's promise, Ji Qiu smoothed her hair beside her ears and smiled sweetly.

Yun Meng walked out of the temple. She listened to Liu Feng's words and recalled what Liu Feng had said to her five hundred years ago. Finally, she understood.

"You actually want to start the reincarnation of heaven and earth again! I'm afraid that all the leaders of the virtual world combined can't do it, so what can you do?"

Liu Feng didn't waste any time talking to Yun Meng and directly took over the woman's body. The rest of the living demon incarnations were also all under his control.

More than ten monsters that were not nearby and were scattered outside were summoned to gather.

Yun Meng suddenly felt like a puppet, a puppet that could be thrown out to fight the evil spirits at any time. She couldn't open her mouth to make a sound, nor could she transmit her voice through her soul.

She could only stare and glare at Liu Feng.

Seeing this scene, Ji Qiu and Lao Bai Ze who was lying outside the valley were both shocked.

Liu Feng, who had transformed into a peaceful young man, almost made people forget for a moment that the powerful being who had previously brought down such tremendous spiritual pressure was none other than the young man in front of them.

Yun Meng, the dignified Gu Immortal, whose clones were so notorious in the world that the various blood ancestors were afraid of him, has now met such an end. In front of Liu Feng, Yun Meng is no different from an insect or ant on the ground that can be manipulated at will.

Liu Feng didn't care about Yun Meng's eyes at all. He sat cross-legged on the ground, and comprehended the law of cause and effect passed down from his master.

His master taught him everything he knew, and as he approached the master's vision and spirit, he had gained a great deal of understanding of this Dao. Unfortunately, it was still the weakest of his many understandings of the Dao.

He won't use this method unless it is absolutely necessary, but it is just right and sufficient right now.

Without using any method that was beyond the limits of the universe, he followed the cause and effect connections and glimpsed a series of invisible and intangible dotted lines.

One of the dotted lines was connected to him at one end and to a corrupt person in the same world as him, as well as a Taoist weapon, at the other end.

Liu Feng suddenly glanced sideways in a certain direction, as if he could see through a space that was millions of miles away.

That Taoist artifact was none other than the replica of the Samsara Disk made by Daoxuzi. And that corrupt man was the old Taoist Xuandu.

Yunmeng searched for five hundred years but could not find any trace of him. Now it was he who was about to achieve Buddhahood and he found him in the blink of an eye.

The people were found, in the Qiongai Island of Datiandi, but the situation seemed to be far worse than before.
