I, the Chaos Entity, joined the chat group at the start.

Fang Yuan: "If it were me, if I had the power, I would just capture the entire family, refine them all, and leave no one alive."

Chu Luoli: "Terrifying!"

Xiao Yan: "Terrifying!"

Loves drinking animal milk: "Completely refined? Isn't that a bit too extreme?"

Fang Yuan: "Where is this extreme? You're still just a child, too soft-hearted. With this mentality, even if you have great strength, you will definitely be betrayed or even sold out in the future. Those people are certain that you won't be able to kill them all."

Han Paopao of the Seven Mysteries Sect: "What Fellow Daoist Fang Yuan said is actually quite reasonable, it's just that everyone handles things differently."

Wang Lin: "Well done."

Chu Luoli: "Indeed, Fang Yuan said before that he struggled in another world for a hundred years and must have seen a lot of the darkness of human nature."

Fang Yuan: "Yes, to survive in the Gu Realm, you have to learn to eat people, otherwise you'll only be eaten, enslaved, lose all your freedom, and become a walking corpse. So, the righteous path and the demonic path are worthless in my eyes; personal strength is the only truth!"

Loves drinking animal milk: "Is it powerful?"

Although Shi Hao said he had let go of the past, how could he really have let go?

However, he had ties and family in his heart, and was unwilling to completely sever all ties, so he only settled what needed to be settled.

He couldn't sever his emotions and desires, becoming a killing machine that only knew revenge; that wasn't his way.

Fang Yuan has no love because he was born into a family that prioritizes profit above all else. For the sake of power, he was willing to sacrifice anything, including his self-esteem and personality.

Shi Hao was also born into a family that only knew about profit, and his bones were dug out. However, after arriving in Shi Village, he was still taken care of by the simple and honest people of Shi Village and surrounded by love. He knew that there was still a pure land in this world, so in such an environment, he did not go to extremes.

Even if he were sold by the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths in the future, he wouldn't think of revenge. He would just feel disappointed and that life had no meaning. If he came back alive, he would only want to create a forbidden zone, stay with his family and friends, and no longer care about anything outside.

……

In this alternate world, Fang Yuan is currently in a cave in a valley, cultivating and raising Gu worms while keeping an eye on the chat group's activity.

For a century, he roamed the world of Gu, resorting to any means to achieve his goals. Murder and robbery were commonplace for him, making him an enemy of the world and a demon in the eyes of the righteous.

He dared not show himself, because the entire righteous path was now hunting him down. This pursuit was unprecedented, with each of them being no less powerful than him. Once he was truly caught, he would likely die and be annihilated.

Fang Yuan remained calm. If he could do it all over again, he would still be the same. He only regretted that he was not strong enough, and nothing else mattered.

"Compared to other world systems, Gu Dao is mysterious, but it has too many limitations. Without Gu insects, a Gu master's strength will be greatly reduced. Unfortunately, I have already spent too much energy on Gu Dao, so it is impossible for me to specialize in it now!"

if……"

Fang Yuan thought of this and looked at the Gu insect that appeared out of thin air in his palm. The Gu insect looked like a cicada, and there seemed to be a rhythm of time power around the cicada, which was extremely mysterious.

This is the seventh-ranked Gu insect in the world, the Spring and Autumn Cicada, which possesses the power to reverse time.

Over the course of hundreds of years, Fang Yuan has transformed from a college student on Earth in his previous life into a powerful figure in the Gu realm, reaching the sixth level of Gu Immortal, which is already the pinnacle of his cultivation.

The cultivation realm of a Gu Master is divided into nine stages, with the sixth stage being the Immortal and the ninth stage being the Venerable.

Those who can become Gu Immortals are all exceptional individuals.

In order to take it a step further, Fang Yuan tried to refine the Spring and Autumn Cicada. Unfortunately, the conditions for refining the Spring and Autumn Cicada were harsh. First of all, it required killing a large number of living beings. In order to refine it, Fang Yuan had lost count of how many people he had killed. His heart had long been numb.

P.S.: Please vote for me! Happy May Day everyone!

Chapter 341 Ying Zheng's Dark History, Li Xingyun's Strange Encounters

"Since we've come to this world, if we don't become a supreme being, then death is the only option!"

In this cannibalistic world, only the ruthless and heartless can survive.

Fang Yuan spoke, a resolute glint in his eyes. He had already come this far, and there was no turning back.

Although the cicadas of spring and autumn have been successfully refined, they are still lacking in refinement and are somewhat unstable.

In order for the Spring and Autumn Cicada to truly succeed, it needs to sacrifice the life essence and blood of more living beings.

The path of the Gu Immortal is inherently a bloody one, a path that steals the creation of heaven and earth and all living beings.

However, there is a righteous path in this world. If Fang Yuan were to commit murder again, he would definitely be pursued by the righteous path and thus fall into a massive siege.

However, Fang Yuan is not one to evade. Only by taking the initiative can he find a way out, truly break through and rebuild, and have the opportunity to break through the realm of the Sixth-Rank Gu Immortal and advance to a higher peak.

With this thought in mind, and after making full preparations, Fang Yuan left the mysterious valley, while sending his men as cannon fodder to draw the attention of the righteous path.

In this world for hundreds of years, Fang Yuan has not been alone. As a sixth-level Gu Immortal, he has established his own lineage, a powerful demonic sect. Although his own strength is fundamental, sometimes he also needs his subordinates to do certain things.

……

The Great Way Chat Group.

Wudang King Ye: "The only remaining heir of the Tang Dynasty, you say you want to practice martial arts!"

The only son of the Tang Dynasty: "Yes, my master doesn't teach me martial arts at all. He makes me read medical books every day, which is of no use at all."

Chu Luoli: "You are the only heir of the Great Tang Dynasty. This Great Tang Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty, right? Which emperor's son are you?"

Holy Maiden of the Emperor: "Eating melon!"

The sole heir of the Tang Dynasty: "My father is Li Ye, and I am his son, Li Xingyun!"

Chu Luoli: "Li Ye, I know this one, the one who was killed by Zhu Wen, right?"

Qin Emperor Ying Zheng: "Who is Zhu Wen? How dare he kill the emperor?"

Chu Luoli: "The emperors of the Later Liang Dynasty were subordinates of the Tang Dynasty emperors, but by then it was the last dynasty, and the emperors were basically sidelined and had little power. In particular, the Tang Dynasty had too many powerful clans. Apart from the founding emperor, it was not easy for later emperors to control local clans. They basically cooperated with each other and did not break off relations."

Wudang King Ye: "Brother Loli, you know so much about history!"

Chu Luoli: "Nonsense, I'm a top student, okay? I graduated with a proper bachelor's degree!"

Fang Yuan: "I'm also an undergraduate student."

My favorite drink is animal milk: "?"

The sole heir of the Qin Dynasty: "Do you know so much about this place?"

Chu Luoli: "Strictly speaking, our world's historical backgrounds are roughly the same. In my case, the Tang Dynasty had already fallen. Starting with Zhu Wen, it was the chaotic period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. That was a dark period of history, with the world in chaos, people eating each other, no humanity, and too many people dying. It wasn't until Emperor Taizu of Song came into the world that the war ended."

Wudang King Ye: "Indeed, but I also know a little about this Li Ye. However, I just searched on Baidu and there is no prince named Li Xingyun."

Chu Luoli: "That's right, it seems there isn't any, but who knows the true history! At most, we only know some major events."

Qin Emperor Ying Zheng: "This Tang Dynasty is too corrupt; even the emperor has been killed by his own ministers."

Chu Luoli: "Emperor Qin Shi Huang, don't look down on the Tang Dynasty. The founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Er, was both a scholar and a warrior. All nations came to pay tribute to him. He was known as the Heavenly Khan and can be considered one of the greatest emperors of all time."

Wudang Wang Ye: "Not bad, Brother Zheng, you're not any better than the Tang Dynasty. At least they lasted for hundreds of years. Look at you, your dynasty only lasted two generations. Hu Hai was also killed by his own subordinates."

Qin Emperor Ying Zheng: "..."

The only son of the Tang Dynasty: "That's not the problem. I want to learn martial arts. Brothers, sisters, uncles, and elders, can you help me?"

Wudang Wang Ye: "Many people here cultivate immortality, while you practice martial arts. I'm afraid you won't be able to cultivate immortality?"

Wang Ye could roughly guess that Li Xingyun's world was a martial arts world with a historical background, and it was probably a story about a prince in distress seeking revenge. So, martial arts could be practiced there, but given the environment, the upper limit was not high.

The only son of the Tang Dynasty: "Aren't there any martial arts practitioners? Cultivating immortality isn't out of the question either; what if you succeed?"

Chu Luoli: "Without anyone to guide him, he died from a cultivation mishap."

Wudang Wang Ye: "Not bad. If you have enough points, you might be able to force yourself to practice. However, I have an external martial arts cultivation technique here. If you want to learn it, I can teach you!"

The only son of the Tang Dynasty: "Sure, as long as it's martial arts."

Wudang Wang Ye: "My martial art is called the Golden Bell Cover!"

Chu Luoli: "??? Wang Ye. You? Teaching people the Golden Bell Shield is worse than not teaching it at all. What's the use of this? It's a common martial arts technique in the martial arts world."

The sole heir of the Tang Dynasty: "Golden Bell Cover? Isn't that just street performer's kung fu...?"

Wudang King Ye: "Still looking down on the Golden Bell Shield? My Golden Bell Shield is no ordinary skill. It is divided into twelve levels, each a higher realm. When fully mastered, it makes one indestructible, with inexhaustible internal energy. Even if one doesn't eat or drink for three hundred days, one will not die. Even in modern times, you could bomb it with a nuclear bomb and it wouldn't kill you!"

Chu Luoli: "??? You mean your Golden Bell Shield can protect against nuclear bombs? What level have you cultivated it to?"

Wudang Wang Ye: "Seventeen or eighteen levels, I suppose."

Chu Luoli: "Didn't you say there were only twelve levels?"

Wudang Wang Ye: "I used the Great Dao Chat Group to deduce the subsequent cultivation methods. Of course, I was able to cultivate to the seventeenth or eighteenth level entirely through my own efforts."

Chu Luoli: "I don't believe you for a second!"

The only heir of the Tang Dynasty: "Then I'll learn! Teach me, Brother Prince!"

Wudang Wang Ye: "It's possible, but to successfully cultivate this technique, one depends on talent and time. Without resources, it might take a hundred years to complete all twelve levels. However, being able to cultivate to the fifth or sixth level already makes you a minor expert."

The sole heir of the Tang Dynasty: "I will definitely cultivate diligently..."

……

At Jianlu, Li Xingyun was extremely excited. He had received a gift from Wang Ye: the Twelve Barriers Golden Bell Shield, a supreme external martial arts cultivation method, which was even created by the legendary Patriarch Bodhidharma!

In addition to the Twelve Golden Bell Cover Techniques, Wang also taught the Wudang School's Tai Chi Cloud Hands and Tai Chi Fist.

Of course, these are modern martial arts techniques, not those of the ancient Wudang school, and they are not complete, but they can still be practiced for self-defense.

Li Xingyun was exceptionally intelligent and gifted. In addition, he had read hundreds of medical books and had a thorough understanding of the corresponding acupoints on the human body, which was an unexpected bonus.

"It doesn't seem that difficult. I should be able to achieve results quickly."

After some contemplation, Li Xingyun realized that although the Twelve Levels Golden Bell Cover technique was obscure, he was able to grasp its key essence and even apply it to other situations. It was as if this technique was tailor-made for him.

As for Tai Chi and other martial arts techniques, they are even easier to master.

……

Chapter 342 The Unruly General: Your Highness, shall I kowtow to you?

The back of Qingcheng Mountain.

On a blue stone, Li Xingyun sat cross-legged, breathing in and out the Qi from his Dantian, with some scattered medicinal herbs around him.

Suddenly, Li Xingyun stood up, gathered his strength, and slammed his fist into the stone. The surface of the several hundred-pound stone immediately cracked and dented.

Seeing this, Li Xingyun's face lit up with excitement. "In just one month, my Golden Bell Shield has broken through to the second level. If this punch were to hit an adult, it would be enough to seriously injure them!"

After obtaining the Golden Bell Shield, Li Xingyun began to cultivate, and within a month he reached the second level, which was quite fast.

It might take an ordinary person six months to a year or even longer to master the first level, but Li Xingyun directly entered the second level and has already almost perfected it, so he will soon be able to challenge the third level.

Besides his natural talent, what's even more important is Li Xingyun's mastery of pharmacological knowledge.

When practicing external martial arts, one should not overdo it, as that will damage the body, prematurely deplete potential, and leave hidden ailments.

Especially in old age, accumulated fatigue leads to illness that is difficult to cure, making it impossible to reach a state of great accomplishment.

Therefore, practitioners of external martial arts need to undergo medicinal baths or supplement their nutrition with food.

As a physician, Li Xingyun has mastered the knowledge and properties of most herbs, as long as the herbs complement his cultivation practices.

Moreover, in order to quickly improve his cultivation level, Li Xingyun even took poison to counteract the effects. According to the cultivation characteristics of the Golden Bell Cover, he might eventually become not only indestructible but also immune to all poisons.

"This is the third level?"

Li Xingyun pondered that the difficulty of each level of the Golden Bell Cover technique increased exponentially, and it also required strong external stimulation to continuously open up the evil meridians in the body. He used poisonous herbs to stimulate the meridians and open up the meridians, but this was not a long-term solution.

Every medicine has some degree of toxicity, let alone a poisonous herb.

If a martial arts master were willing to use their internal energy to stimulate him, his cultivation would definitely be faster.

Unfortunately, he was cultivating in secret, and his master, Yang Shuzi, would never help him.

"External martial arts can be mastered quickly, but they are ultimately not up to the standards of high art. Internal martial arts and true qi are the true path."

Just as Li Xingyun was considering what to do next in his cultivation, a deep voice suddenly rang out in his ears. It was unclear where it came from, but it seemed to be everywhere, demonstrating the person's profound skill.

Li Xingyun has cultivated to the second level and has already gained some internal energy. His martial arts strength is roughly equivalent to that of a minor star, and may even be stronger.

嗅！

The next second, a dark figure appeared in front of Li Xingyun.

The newcomer was dressed in black, wearing a straw hat and a demon mask.

Upon seeing the figure, Li Xingyun's heart sank, and his gaze sharpened. "You are... the Bad Boy!"

"Does Your Highness recognize me?"
