My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 460 The Last Fight

It can be said,
When they first obtained the secret technique of controlling Gu, the upper echelons of the Li family were so excited that they could hardly sleep.

This could provide an opportunity to advance to the Divine Travel Realm.

Who can calm down?
But unfortunately,
They were overthinking things.

After conducting the experiment, it was found that,
Even with their secret techniques for controlling Gu, they still couldn't command the Flying Spirit Ants to mate!
No matter how they tried, or how they used the secret art of Gu control to communicate,
The response was still lukewarm; they showed absolutely no interest in mating and reproduction.

But rather,
The secret technique of controlling Gu only allows cultivators to communicate with their own Gu worms.

Instead of controlling their behavior.

then,

The progress was stuck at the very first step!
However, the potential profits from this matter are so great,
This concerns combat power at the Divine Ascension Realm level.

How could the Li family's top brass possibly give up?
After some discussion, the top members of the Li family reached a conclusion.

That means the secret technique of controlling Gu must be a castrated version of the Minghuan Gu Scripture fragments that Shen Changchuan obtained!
That large-scale industrialized breeding method must have been derived from the secret techniques that Shen Changchuan inherited from the Minghuan Gu Scripture!
By simplifying and breaking down the secret techniques in the Minghuan Gu Jing, we can better understand its methods.
This turned the original secret technique into a secret technique for controlling Gu and a trick for large-scale Gu breeding!
Because it's a cut version.

Naturally, there's no way to control the behavior of the Gu worms!
This is not just a view held by the Li family.
This is a widely circulated speculation!
For this,

The higher-ups in the Li family were completely convinced of this.

Because if it were them,
They would all do that!
They even went so far as to castrate them!
Otherwise, wouldn't that be aiding the enemy?
The abridged version of the secret technique cannot control the behavior of the Gu worms.
But the secret techniques in the original Minghuan Gu Jing must work!

The secret techniques recorded above can even enhance the effectiveness of the Flying Sky-Splitting Spirit Ants!
then,

They have their eyes on Shen Changchuan!

Or,

They've got their eyes on the fragments of the Minghuan Gu Scripture in his possession!
This is precisely why the Li family did not retreat after the first attack by the Ancient Sword Sect, but remained in Jue Tian Valley!
Shen Changchuan's initial premonition was correct.

Jue Tian Valley
It was a trap set by the Li family to lure him there!
After discovering that the secret technique of controlling Gu could not solve the breeding problem of the Flying Sky-Splitting Spirit Ants, they set their sights on Shen Changchuan.

The Li family then began to mobilize some resources to gather information about Shen Changchuan.

Just then, I learned that Shen Changchuan was collecting Flying Spirit Ants!
Thus, the story of "waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump" came about.

Waiting for Shen Changchuan's arrival,

The plan was to kill him, seize the fragment of the Minghuan Gu Scripture from his body, and solve the breeding problem of the Flying Sky Rift Spirit Ants.

and,

He was killed.

He could also complete the bounty offered by the Demonic Alliance and gain favors from the Seven Deadly Demons and the White Bone Demon, two figures who stood at the pinnacle of the cultivation world in the Southern Yue Kingdom.

As a result,
The Li family will not decline because of the loss of Jue Tian Valley.

On the contrary, it is very likely that this will give them the opportunity to soar to great heights!

Unfortunately,
Calculation is wonderful.

But reality is cruel.

Li Changzun had made preparations for all possible unforeseen events.
They were even prepared for the possibility that the lure would fail and Shen Changchuan wouldn't come!
The only thing I didn't expect was that...
That brat who just advanced to the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage actually has such combat power!

All the methods he devised failed to capture Shen Changchuan.

As a result of Shen Changchuan's strength, the Li family suffered a crushing defeat on the battlefield!

All those plans came to naught!
Not only were the initial plans and objectives not achieved,

As a result, the entire Li family is now in danger of being destroyed!

"The only option left is to fight to the death!"

Li Changzun's expression kept changing.
Ultimately, a certain decision was made.

He stood up suddenly,
His gaze swept over the rapidly advancing enemy outside Jue Tian Valley, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

"Chieftain, is there any way?"

Upon seeing this, the anxious members of the Li family around them brightened up and looked towards Li Changzun, their faces filled with hope.

"Of course there is!"

"If this succeeds, it will not only resolve the current crisis, but also allow my Li family to rise to prominence once again in the future!"

"However, this matter will require a little effort from you." Li Changzun lowered his eyes, and his voice became somewhat strange.

At other times,
The members of the Li family present could sense something strange.

But unfortunately,
Now that a formidable enemy is approaching...

The crisis of death was imminent, but they had no time to think about it, so they didn't take it to heart at all.

Instead, he urged Li Changzun urgently:

"The clan leader is wise! It's the clan leader who has the best ideas!"

"Chieftain, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Use them quickly, or it will be too late!"

Li Changzun remained silent for a moment,
He said calmly:

"it is good!"

Pfft pfft
suddenly,
Within the main hall,

A series of muffled thuds rang out.
Then,

Blood flew everywhere!

at the same time,

the other side,
boom!
A sharp sword beam swept across the sky, shattering the protective barrier of an array.

Everything before my eyes was then revealed.

The scene before my eyes,
This immediately caused the crowd outside, who were excitedly trying to rush in, to frown and stop in their tracks.

"This is."

Shen Changchuan's figure also stopped in mid-air.
Looking at everything in front of me, I felt a sense of physical discomfort.

because,

What appeared in front of them,

It's a forest of corpses!

Corpses stood on the ground, with eerie and grotesque trees bursting out from inside them, their roots digging deep into the ground, and their blood-red leaves flourishing on top.

The human and the tree trunk are fused together in a bizarre way.

Even more frightening is that
Those corpses are still alive!

Their bodies were writhing, and through the fresh flesh, one could see the blood flowing through the blood vessels below.

The face, now integrated into the tree trunk, emitted screams and wails of agony.

They are interspersed throughout the entire forest of corpses.

It seemed to be enduring an endless torment of death.

"Using humans as a species, indeed, those wicked demons should be exterminated!"

aside,
A cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage snorted coldly.

The people around them nodded in agreement.

in fact,

As an existence at the Out-of-Body stage
There is already a huge difference between them and ordinary mortals, or even cultivators at the Qi Refining stage.

Even if ordinary people or cultivators at the Qi Refining stage died in front of them,
They wouldn't experience much emotional fluctuation.

To have reached this point,
On the cruel path of cultivation, in order to seize opportunities and the chance to advance further, who doesn't have dozens of lives on their hands?

Their hearts had long since grown cold.

But even so,

Seeing this scene before them,
All of these things make them feel uncomfortable.

This shows that

How cruel it is to see this forest of corpses that stretches as far as the eye can see!
