Yellow Court Daoist

The grotto mansion was situated deep within the mountains, wherein an old cultivator was cultivating. His cultivation had already reached the point of Foundation Establishment and Body Tempering, but constrained by the size of the Blessed Land and the resources available, he could not make a breakthrough.

This man was Mo Han, the current strongest in the Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect.

It was Mo Han who had ordered Po Feng to go to Heavenly God Mountain and subdue the Yinfu Sect to aid the Golden Silkworm Divine Mountain in dealing with the offensive from the Soul Capturing Sect.

Unyielding, he killed without hesitation!

Lu Qingfeng's eyes flickered with spiritual light as he saw through the mansion's Array. Covered by his Invisibility Technique, he sauntered boldly into the grotto mansion.

Clapping his hands together—

"Who!"

Mo Han opened his eyes, his whole body surged with True Yuan, and between life and death, he felt a great terror and shouted explosively.

However, Lu Qingfeng had approached invisibly and struck abruptly.

Although Mo Han reacted extremely quickly, he was ultimately still too late.

"Great Sun Annihilation Divine Light!"

A streak of light flashed, and Divine Skills erupted.

Boom!

In an instant, it almost shattered Mo Han's head.

However, from Mo Han's body, suddenly a burst of golden light rose, visibly the Golden Silkworm Gu. The silhouette of the Golden Silkworm Gu enveloped Mo Han's body, emitting a silent roar at Lu Qingfeng, looking fierce.

The next moment.

The Great Sun Annihilation Divine Light descended, shattering the golden light.

The Golden Silkworm Gu, in agony, fragmented and disappeared into the air.

Looking at Mo Han again, although blood seeped from the corners of his mouth, his life was not in great danger.

"Life Replacement Technique!"

Lu Qingfeng's eyes lit up.

The strike just now aimed for Mo Han's life, but was blocked by the Golden Silkworm Gu, saving him from death.

Undoubtedly, Mo Han had used the Golden Silkworm Gu to replace himself in death.

"Indeed."

"An End of Dharma Cultivator, with no few tricks."

Lu Qingfeng was overjoyed.

Having searched for twenty years in the Sky Witch Realm, his original goal was the 'Life Preservation Death Replacement Technique.' Although he managed to empower the Yinfu Sect, in the end, he only found a Mist Banner, which barely counted as a life-saving item.

Compared to Mo Han's Golden Silkworm Gu's Death Replacement Technique just witnessed, it's hard to say which is superior or inferior, but if combined, surviving in reality would certainly be invincible.

While Lu Qingfeng was pleasantly surprised—

"Sneak attacker!"

Mo Han, greatly angered, swung his arm, and dozens of bizarre Gu insects rushed towards Lu Qingfeng.

"Golden Saber Soul Slaughter Method!"

Lu Qingfeng suppressed his joy, clasped his palms together, and a golden saber suddenly appeared in his hand.

The Golden Saber was raised aloft, ferociously cleaving down!

Whoosh whoosh!

A gale howls, and spirits vanish.

Dozens of Gu insects were frozen in the void, shattered, and disappeared.

[Technique: Golden Saber Soul Slaughter Method]

[Grade: High-level]

[Explanation: Contained within the Du Tian Fierce Fire God Flag, capable of slaughtering spirits]

This method, along with 'Demon Evil Entangling Silk Spell' and 'Poison Punishment Bone-locking Heart-piercing Little Asura Technique' among the Demon Dao techniques, were all derived from the twelve poles of the Du Tian Fierce Fire God Flag.

However, the latter two were enhanced by Lu Qingfeng to Divine Power Level and Super-level Techniques respectively.

The Golden Saber Soul Slaughter Method was not enhanced.

Even so, as a high-level technique, it still annihilated countless Gu insects, a powerful measure directly targeting spirits. The spirits of the Gu were torn apart, their physical forms rendered null, and the saber wind brutally reduced them to dust.

Only a very few were not afraid of the spirit attacks.

Passing the 'Golden Saber,' they attacked Lu Qingfeng.

"Zhu Rong Demon God!"

From Lu Qingfeng's body, suddenly emerged a Demon God, precisely the Zhu Rong Demon God. As soon as Zhu Rong appeared, flames immediately spewed from his nostrils and mouth, which were Zhu Rong Divine Flames.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

A few Gu insects touched it, and were instantly burned to ashes.

Lu Qingfeng paid no heed; with his fingers shaped like claws, he reached towards the sky and fiercely pulled down—

"Thunder Prison!"

Heavenly Thunder Prison descended, engulfing Mo Han who was seeing the bad situation and attempting to flee. Simultaneously, from Lu Qingfeng's sleeves flew out three hundred and sixty-five Nine Strategies Xuan Hao Talismans, setting up the 'Thunder Roar Formation', enhancing the power of the Thunder Prison.

For a moment.

Electricity coursed like dragons and snakes, and thunder roared loudly.

Mo Han was trapped within, his face showing great urgency. His strength, based entirely on Gu insects, was now reduced by at least half with the insects destroyed, leaving him no power to resist.

After the time it takes half an incense stick to burn.

Boom boom boom!

Thunder Prison dissipated, and the Nine Strategies Xuan Hao Talismans returned to Lu Qingfeng's sleeve. Looking at the formation center, only a charred corpse remained; a slight breeze later, all that was left was a charred skeleton.

Mo Han.

Dead!

The assassination using invisibility, especially against a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator, was indeed easy.

If not for Mo Han's Golden Silkworm Gu substituting his death, this battle would have ended long ago.

Nevertheless, despite some twists, Lu Qingfeng's heart was filled with more surprise rather than distress.

Stepping forward.

Zhu Rong Demon God approached, returning to Lu Qingfeng's body.

Lu Qingfeng's True Qi surged, rolling Mo Han's skeleton around, several Jade Scrolls, Jade Dishware, and Golden Books fell into his hands.

Lu Qingfeng casually checked them, his eyes growing even brighter.

He made an effort to suppress his excitement.

Lu Qingfeng stored them away, then scanned the grotto mansion and found many unhatched insect eggs, still full of vitality. Additionally, deeper in the mansion, he saw areas Mo Han had cleared for raising Gu—

Survival of the fittest among the poison insects.

The last surviving one, was the king of poison insects, the venom among venoms, termed 'Gu'.

Lu Qingfeng had no interest in Gu insects.

"Spirit Stones."

In a corner of the mansion, spirit light flashed.

He noticed a small pile of Spirit Stones casually stacked together, emitting bursts of light. This was the accumulation of Spirit Stones by the Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect over a thousand years.

Lu Qingfeng counted them closely.

"One hundred and twelve pieces."

Accumulated over a thousand years, just one hundred and twelve Spirit Stones, roughly one Spirit Stone every ten years.

The Blessed Land has declined, to such an extent!

"To activate the Ancient Transmission Array in Golden Silkworm Blessed Land, at least three hundred spirit stones are needed. Each additional person teleported requires even more spirit stones."

"At this rate, it will take at least two thousand years for the Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect to gather enough spirit stones."

In two thousand years, whether the Golden Silkworm Blessed Land will still exist is a question.

If all the Cave Heaven Blessed Lands are in such a situation, initiating a great war under desperate circumstances is only too common.

Lu Qingfeng swept away the spirit stones, insect eggs, and the inheritance of the Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect.

Then he replicated the process.

He killed the remaining eight Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect one by one, obtaining a small number of spirit stones, peculiar Gu insects, and various secret techniques.

Only then did he decisively leave.

The ruined Blessed Land, apart from the spiritual energy barely assisting Foundation Establishment Cultivators in their cultivation, had nothing worth lingering for.

As for the Ancient Transmission Array.

Other Cave Heaven Blessed Lands all have one.

"The world is in decline, and it's difficult to gather the spiritual medicines required to refine Foundation Establishment Pills. However, with my current strength, I am capable of sweeping through the Sky Witch Realm. Even for the Cave Heaven Blessed Lands, as long as I find the entrance, I can come and go as I please."

Lu Qingfeng planned to first visit all the Cave Heaven Blessed Lands in the Sky Witch Realm, gather enough spirit stones, then carefully select one, and decide through which Blessed Land's Transmission Array to leave.

Different Cave Heaven Blessed Lands' Transmission Arrays undoubtedly lead to corresponding sects on 'the other shore.'

Choosing the right path can reduce troubles and increase opportunities.

Time passes.

Lu Qingfeng tasked the Yinfu Sect to search for legends of various Cave Heaven Blessed Lands and calculate their entrances, and became more fierce in attacks, gathering various exotic items and methods.

Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect was annihilated by Lu Qingfeng, followed by the battle that took down Golden Silkworm Divine Mountain.

Perhaps because Lu Qingfeng subdued Po Feng too easily on Heavenly God Mountain, revealing powerful Divine Skills, that the Tianhe Blessed Land behind the Soul Capturing Sect did not send out any Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Until Yinfu Sect took over Golden Silkworm Divine Mountain and pointed their spears directly at the Soul Capturing Sect, there was still no sign of Tianhe Blessed Land cultivators appearing.

"It seems they have abandoned the Soul Capturing Sect."

Tianhe Blessed Land decided so decisively, beyond Lu Qingfeng's expectations.

Since that was the case, he immediately ordered the Yinfu Sect to attack the Soul Capturing Sect. He personally led the charge, and in just half a month, took down the Soul Capturing Sect.

Swallowing two top forces in succession.

The Central Plains and Southern Border were all silenced.

It seems like the once humble Yinfu Sect had unexpectedly become the strongest force outside Central Plains and Southern Border. Even if the sects of Central Plains and Southern Border don't unite, none of them can compare with the Yinfu Sect on their own.

Rashly confronting them.

The fate of Golden Silkworm Divine Mountain and Soul Capturing Sect is a testimony.

The two forces immediately halted their war, guarded against the Yinfu Sect, and even showed a tendency to turn their spears around.

However, at this time, the Yinfu Sect entered a period of dormancy, assimilating the gains from the two top forces.

As for Lu Qingfeng.

He fell into ecstasy.

...

"Golden Silkworm Destiny Reversal Technique!"

"Golden Silkworm Destiny Reversal Technique!!"

"Golden Silkworm Destiny Reversal Technique!!!"

Lu Qingfeng's eyes were exceedingly bright, holding a golden book in his hands, he blinked slightly, trying hard to calm his emotions.

He had annihilated the Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect and swept through the Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect's inheritance.

This included the Basic Skills, Side Door Level 'Golden Silkworm Nine Transformations,' various Middle and Low-level Techniques, various Gu insect refining methods including Gan Gu, Swelling Gu, Madness Gu, Yin Snake Gu, and Golden Silkworm Gu, and more.

Compared to techniques, Gu insects are the foundation of the Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect, and also their reliance for confronting enemies and deploying various techniques.

Like Po Feng.

His entire strength relied on the two Golden Silkworm Gus.

His own strength, could even be inferior to that of a same-level Energy Introduction Cultivator. But once the Golden Silkworm Gu was employed, even practitioners of the Condensed Liquid Realm had to be extremely cautious. If caught, it'd inevitably lead to death and soul dispersion.

Golden Silkworm Gu is quirky, powerful.

It is considered one of the most powerful Gu insects in the world and is also the first reliance of the Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect to stand in the Sky Witch Realm.

Unknown many eons ago.

In the Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect, there was an astonishingly talented Mahayana True Immortal who fell in love with a mortal woman. The two loved each other, but the mortal woman had poor root bone and couldn't cultivate.

The Mahayana True Immortal went through the Sky Witch Realm with his wife, finding age-sustaining spiritual medicine to preserve his wife's beauty eternally.

He also searched everywhere for spiritual medicine that could enhance root bones.

Unfortunately, even in such a vast Sky Witch Realm, such against-the-heaven spiritual medicines could not be found.

Seeing his wife's life nearing its end and being powerless, the Mahayana True Immortal blamed himself.

But despite traveling far and wide, he couldn't find the spiritual medicine that could enhance root bones. His wife died in his arms, turning to dust and buried.

Right before her death, the mortal woman gave birth to a son, also a root bone waste.

The Mahayana True Immortal was heartbroken for losing his wife.

Not wanting to see the final creation he had with his wife follow the same fate, he secluded himself. With great resolution and wisdom, combining various secret techniques and Gu insects of the Heavenly Silkworm Immortal Sect, he eventually created the 'Golden Silkworm Destiny Reversal Technique.'

Unfortunately, on the day he emerged from seclusion,

His only son had already aged.

Forcibly using the 'Golden Silkworm Destiny Reversal Technique,' but failing to withstand the backlash, he passed away.

The Mahayana True Immortal, unable to accept this fate, left behind the 'Golden Silkworm Destiny Reversal Technique' and tore through space to forcefully enter the underworld, aiming to reclaim the souls of his wife and child.

He never returned.

In the years that followed,

Many cultivators in the Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect took interest in the 'Golden Silkworm Destiny Reversal Technique,' successively studying and refining it, leaving behind various insights and passing down the story of the Mahayana True Immortal.

Fate turns, by coincidence.

Eventually,

The 'Golden Silkworm Destiny Reversal Technique' ends up in Lu Qingfeng's hands.

"We cultivators, never lack those with utmost sincerity and love."

After reading the deeds of the Mahayana True Immortal, Lu Qingfeng's emotions calmed downs, couldn't help but sigh.

A mighty Mahayana True Immortal, fell in love with a mortal woman.

Even willing to use his Mahayana cultivation to venture into the underworld for his mortal wife and child.

Cultivation,

Is never devoid of emotions and love.

After learning about the Mahayana True Immortal, thinking of Qing Mountain and Qingyu, warmth filled his heart.

Cultivation is important, and longevity is the eternal pursuit.

But if there's loved ones to accompany, a place for the heart, it is not in vain to cultivate in one's lifetime. After achieving longevity, that is the true freedom Lu Qingfeng seeks.

"Golden Silkworm Destiny Reversal Technique."

"Defying Heaven to change fate."

"Fate is the root bone."

Lu Qingfeng gathered his thoughts, grabbed the golden book and clapped it with both hands, importing it into his attributes panel.
