The Ascension of the Evil Path: Starting with Gu Refining

The two Gu masters were crushed into blood mist, and the twenty or so people present still showed no intention of retreating.

Ji Huan, Duan Miao and others came closer and found that these Gu Masters were divided into five directions, headed by the five second-generation Gu Masters, and they did not know where they came from.

The seven members of the Eclipse Gate looked forward together. There was another cave connected to it, and the scene inside was exactly the same as the cave they were standing in at the moment.

It was like a mirror hanging there, except that their own figures could not be seen.

Ji Huan pondered for a while and said in a low voice: "I'll use the Gu insect to explore the way."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and more than a hundred Gu insects flew out. Unexpectedly, this move caused several Gu masters around him to laugh.

When Ji Huan was confused, the Gu insect flew into the depths unharmed and broke through some kind of invisible ban.

However, there was no trace of joy on his face, and he said solemnly: "Those intermediary Gu have cut off contact with me."

Hearing this, Duan Miao glanced at the five second-level Gu Masters present. Some of those five were holding strange Gu worms, some were carrying some kind of spirit, and there was also a man with thick eyebrows who was carrying a disk-shaped Taoist magic weapon. Come prepared.

"Senior brother, how much do you know about this formation? You might as well tell me a few things, and we can work together to try it." Duan Miao said to the Gu Master holding the disk-shaped magic weapon.

However, he was rarely polite, but what he got in return was the thick-browed Gu Master's cold eyes.

"Don't hinder our senior brother." The voice was spoken by another person with gill-like slits on his face.

Not getting the other party's good looks, Duan Miao kept a sullen expression and raised his hand to stop several junior brothers who were about to step forward.

"They don't look like the Gu masters from several nearby provinces. Let's follow them to see how they get through."

Ji Huan nodded and looked at the Gu Masters who were divided into five parties. Judging from their appearances, they only had impressions of two parties.

He had never seen the Gu Masters from the other three directions at all, especially the Gu Master with the gill-like slit, who should have come from some water area.

The cave fell into dead silence for a while. The thick-browed Gu Master hesitated for a long time, staring at the disc-shaped magic weapon in his palm, and suddenly shouted: "Let's go."

The moment he spoke, he sprinted away with all his strength, followed closely by his five companions.

The six people on this side had just set off, and the other Gu masters from all directions were not lagging behind, and figures filed in.

On the side of the disciples of the Eclipse Sect, the five people's faces turned pale. They had witnessed two people's corpses without any trace of their bodies before, but these people actually left just as they said. It was obvious that all of them were ruthless people with unusual personalities.

"Why are you still standing there? Follow me." Ji Huan shouted, and he and Duan Miao stepped in together.

The five lagging disciples of the Eclipse Sect felt furious and gritted their teeth and followed suit.

There was no one in the cave for a moment, but not long after they disappeared, figures appeared strangely in the adjacent row of caves.

The more than twenty foreign Gu Masters who broke through, together with seven Eclipse Sect disciples, and nearly thirty people were dispersed into various adjacent caves.

Even the hundreds of Gu that Ji Huan sent in first were also scattered in various caves.

No matter they were human or Gu, they failed to break through and still stayed on the periphery.

…

Naturally, they didn't know that there were six more rows of caves going inward from the first row of caves on the outside.

The further inward, the fewer the number of caves. The total number of caves in the seven rows is exactly eighty-one.

At this moment, in a cave in the seventh row, Zhou Wan looked nervous and the fragrant rat essence in his hand was squeaking.

"Here, here..." This rat spirit couldn't speak clearly. In addition to squeaking like an ordinary rat, it could only speak a few words back and forth.

Not far away, Liu Feng's eyes were dark, looking directly at the cave opposite that seemed to be a replica.

"How much longer do you have to wait? Judging from the appearance of this fragrant rat spirit, the target should be right ahead." Zhou Wan asked aloud.

Liu Feng remained silent, staring at the formation gate in front of him with his full eyes, strands of true energy flowing endlessly in his sight.

Seeing that the other party remained silent, Zhou Wan muttered: "I heard that Taoists pay attention to calculations when practicing formations, but it doesn't work for me when calculating decimals."

She looked up and saw that at the top of the cave, there were dense air currents like water, densely intertwined, as mysterious as ghostly symbols.

But if you take a closer look, you can find that the seemingly random airflow has a certain sense of orderliness, which makes Zhou Wan have a headache.

After a moment, the true energy in Liu Feng's field of vision circulated and spread in all directions like an umbrella.

At this moment, he seized the gap, golden light suddenly appeared under his feet, and with the blessing of Buddha's power, his body disappeared into the darkness.

"Wait for me!" Zhou Wan looked overjoyed, and the flower beetle soldier Gu flapped its wings on her back, pushing her to follow him without any delay.

The two figures, one behind the other, plunged into the seemingly replica cave opposite.

Zhou Wan was lagging behind. She could only see the darkness before her eyes, but she didn't rush far when a bright cave came into view.

Before he could see clearly, a stench hit his nostrils. After a while, Zhou Wan looked around at the environment in the cave.

This is also a cave, with strange patterns painted on the rock wall. The countless dense air currents outside seem to have to pass through this place, which is the "eye of the formation" speculated by Liu Fengkou.

Those dense air currents gathered towards the center of the cave like a group of snakes returning to their nests. There is a Gu pond, and the stench comes from the pond.

In the Gu-Raising Pond, there are piles of shriveled insect bodies, each of which is human-sized.

"The Gu master turned into an insect, how many Gu masters have been killed here!" Zhou Wan's eyes revealed a look of horror.

This is just a scene inside a "formation eye", and according to Liu Feng, there is not just one formation eye, but at least four.

Liu Feng passed by the hill-like shriveled insect body and turned his gaze to a stone pillar in the center of the pool. All the dense airflow coming from it must pass through that stone pillar.

At this moment, a half-foot-long strip was swinging at the top of the stone pillar.

The shape of this object is semi-transparent, looking like a worm, but more like spiritual energy condensed into substance.

Its position is very critical, right in the center of the formation, as if it is used as a suppressor and becomes part of the insect nest formation.

"Spirit Gu?" Zhou Wan quickly approached, staring at the half-foot-long strip.

"We don't know what the spiritual Gu looks like, but it doesn't look like we can refine it into our bodies!"

Liu Feng was much calmer. He peered at the strip-like thing with Zen eyes and knew that it was some kind of creature, but it didn't look like a pure creature.

There are very few internal organs in this object, and only a small amount of flesh and blood make up the entire body. The aura that is invisible to the naked eye has become a substance in its body.

Just when the two of them were at a loss as to where to start, a buzzing sound filled their ears.

In their astonished eyes, the spiritual Gu they guessed suddenly shot up, trying to rush out of the range of the stone pillar.

"Rumble..." Continuous vibrations echoed in the cave.

The body that seemed to be less than half a foot hit the invisible barrier, causing the entire cave to start shaking violently.

"It has intelligence! What does it want to do?" Liu Feng and Zhou Wan had this idea in their minds at the same time.
