Starting with the Corpse-Eating Worm, he worked his way up to become the Left-Winged Immortal Lord.

【Phantom Corpse Eater】

[Status: Adult (0/12800) - Breeding Direction: Mid-Tier 3]

[Ability: Phantom Swarm]

[Phantom Split Insects - At the lower third tier, one can release two phantom split insects, each possessing 70% of the original's strength, while also significantly increasing their perception range. The phantoms and the original can be separated by a maximum distance of ten miles; beyond ten miles, the phantom split insects will automatically collapse.]

However, the farther the phantom worms are from the body, the greater the consumption of the corpse-eating worms. But when the main body is injured, as long as it is not a fatal injury, the injury can be transferred to the phantom worms.

If one reaches the middle stage of the third tier, the upper stage of the third tier, and the perfect stage of the third tier, the phantom worm will double in size and its perception range will also double. Furthermore, the phantom worm can be enhanced to 80%, 90%, and 100% of its strength, respectively.

"It can even transfer damage! This will greatly increase the survivability of the Corpse-Eating Worms!"

Gu Qing was delighted.

"Moreover, this phantom worm will become increasingly powerful as it progresses. When it reaches the third stage of perfection, comparable to a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator, it will directly possess the full power of its original body..."

This moment.

Gu Qing was filled with excitement.

The third-tier intermediate realm can release four phantom insects.

There are eight bodies in the third-tier upper realm.

The third stage of perfection means sixteen bodies!

Sixteen corpse-devouring worms attacked simultaneously. Is there any Qi Refining Perfection cultivator in the world who could withstand that?

Even with numerous trump cards, and even if a Foundation Establishment cultivator is right beside it, the Corpse-Eating Worm can still easily take its life.

Most importantly, the Corpse-Eating Worm doesn't even need to make a move; the Phantom Splitter can achieve its goal simply by having the Phantom Splitter make the move.

"I was worried that the Corpse-Eating Worms wouldn't be able to keep up with the Hollow-Breaking Stag Beetles and Forbidden Word Worms, but now it seems that I was worrying for nothing."

Even if the Corpse-Eating Worm cannot metamorphose into a Spirit Worm like the Sky-Shattering Stag Beetle, it certainly won't be weaker than a Spirit Worm.

The words fell.

The senses of the Corpse-Eating Worms and the Phantom Worms were released simultaneously, instantly reaching three to five times their previous levels.

Ten miles of land.

Everything is within sight.

The corpse-eating worms thoroughly investigated the entire shady area behind the mountain, and the number of purple zombies was no longer a mystery!

There are a total of 333 purple zombies!

Fifty-six Tier 2 Zombies!

Deep within the Yin land, there were even several zombies sealed within several coffin-shaped second-tier Yin artifacts!

In Gu Qing's view, most of them were third-tier zombies.

The aura emanating from the Time-Revealing Coffin was enough to make the Corpse-Eating Insects tremble, demonstrating just how powerful the zombie inside was.

However, Gu Qing did not have any intention of taking advantage of them, because he could sense that the Yin energy in the Yin land had undergone some subtle changes due to his frantic consumption of purple zombies over the past few days.

Cultivators below the sixth level of Qi Refining cannot detect it, and even those at the sixth level of Qi Refining cannot detect it unless they frequently stay in shady places.

However, if the change is too drastic, the probability of it being detected is still quite high.

Just to be on the safe side, we shouldn't touch them for now.

Followed by.

The return of Yin energy arrived as scheduled.

[The Shadowless Corpse-Eating Worm has successfully evolved into the Phantom Corpse-Eating Worm!]

[Replenish Yin Energy +1000!]

……

At the same time, the third slot for the Alienation Divine Connection will also be opened.

[Successfully upgraded the first mutated divine creature to Tier 3!]

[Alienation slot +1]

……

"So much yin energy is being replenished."

Gu Qing was delighted.

With these 1000 units of Yin energy returned, his total Yin energy returned reached as many as 5400.

"Now that we have a third slot for the Transformation Godhood, the Forbidden Word Worm can be easily controlled." Gu Qing was overjoyed again.

After the initial excitement, Gu Qing began to take his cultivation level seriously.

He hadn't considered improving his cultivation level before, because it wasn't necessary.

But it's different now.

He needs to cultivate Ghost Leaf to prove his worth, but cultivating three at the same time will only earn him his master's approval at best.

If you're in the Nine Heavens, you're unlikely to get approval, let alone have them break the annual assessment rules for you.

Therefore, he needs to cultivate more Ghost Leaf.

This time, Gu Qing did not hesitate, because the stealth ability brought by the Corpse-Eating Worm increased dramatically after reaching the third level.

If Gu Qing's cultivation level is concealed, even using the senses of the Corpse-Eating Insects, it will be impossible to detect his true cultivation level.

The Corpse-Eating Insects' perception is now extraordinary; if not comparable to a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator, it is at least no less than a Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivator.

Looking at the entire Wufeng Temple, even the strongest abbot was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

in other words.

As long as he wants to conceal his cultivation level, no one in Wufeng Temple can tell.

No hesitation.

Gu Qing immediately consumed 2000 units of Yin Qi to enter the third level of the True Method of Foundation Building of the Worm Without Return, and his cultivation level also directly entered the third level of Qi Refining.

Once he entered the third level of Qi Refining, Gu Qing began to frantically devour the surrounding Yin energy.

Even though he concealed his cultivation level, if other Daoist disciples were present, they would probably be quite startled by this incredible commotion.

Besides.

Gu Qing's perception range, mental strength, and Yin body strength also increased again, doubling once more.

"Ordinary cultivation techniques can only increase one's cultivation level by 20% to 30% at most, unless it's a leap from the early to the middle stage. But the Worm-Free Foundation Building True Method can directly double the increase."

That's truly terrifying!

If one were to cultivate to the point of perfect Qi Refining, one would likely become incredibly powerful, even relying solely on oneself.

How could such a powerful Foundation Establishment technique have been stolen from Xuanqing Academy by Deng Hui, who was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining?

This Deng Hui seems to be quite something.

Gu Qing couldn't help but sigh.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Qing focused his attention on the True Method of Foundation Building of the Worm Without Return.

【The True Method of Foundation Building for Insects That Never Return (Third Layer - 0/4000)】

"It's a doubling growth as well. If one wants to cultivate it to perfection, it will probably require a lot of Yin energy to replenish it. If it were the Subduing and Controlling Insects Wonderful Method, it could probably be used to cultivate Qi to perfection ten or eight times."

However, Gu Qing knew that his goal was to attain the ultimate Tao.

Naturally, they wouldn't find cultivating the True Method of Foundation Building of the Worm Without Return difficult.

How much you give.

How much was harvested?

This has always been the case!

The Subduing Insect Control Technique is indeed simple to cultivate, but if one tries to cultivate it, one may never reach the Foundation Establishment stage in their lifetime.

I put my thoughts aside.

A murderous intent suddenly flashed in Gu Qing's eyes.

Chen Ye.

Are you ready to die?

……

soon.

Gu Qing returned to Wufeng Temple from the Yin Land.

On his way back to his lodgings, he bumped into Li Fu, who had come looking for him.

"You idiot, going without sleep for so long, aren't you afraid of working yourself to death?" Li Fu found it unbelievable ever since he learned that Gu Qing had left the pharmacy a few days ago and then gone to the underworld for several days.

However, seeing how hard Gu Qing was working, he hadn't been idle these days either, spending most of his time cultivating.

To be honest, he hadn't cultivated this diligently for several years since he realized he had no hope of breaking through to the next level.

"Cultivation is about seizing every moment," Gu Qing replied with a smile, but he didn't think Li Fu had come to chat. "Master Li, is there something you need?"

"Yesterday, Deng Hui massacred another village and killed many miscellaneous and unorthodox sects. So Uncle Lu is now preparing to lead people out to investigate. If we can find Deng Hui's whereabouts, it will inevitably be another life-or-death battle. Deng Hui has the Heavenly Principle Sect behind him. Once the battle starts, the outcome will be unpredictable."

So I came to ask you to help me see Uncle Lu off... Don't blame me for being a jinx, the situation is indeed very complicated right now."

Li Fu's eyes were filled with worry.

There are concerns about oneself.

There are concerns about Lu Xingzhi.

There are also concerns about the future of Wufeng Temple.

Gu Qing immediately asked the question that concerned her most, "What about Chen Ye? Isn't he coming out of the temple?"
