Chapter 281 God-killing Bug and Golden Body Liquid

The sky was grey and dark, with gusts of cold wind. In this vast and boundless small world, there were many descendants of the Yin God walking around.

The so-called Yin God is a being with extremely powerful strength during his lifetime. After his death, his soul and flesh are immortal. He happened to be buried in the Yin Eye of the earth vein. After endless years, his flesh and blood "came back to life" again, and he became a new life form.

Unlike zombies, Yin spirits are new lives born from the ultimate death, which can be called a miracle against the will of heaven. This kind of existence is a brand new life form, and it can also mate and give birth to offspring.

When they see a human or other living being, they can directly restrain their movements and suck out all the blood, bones and flesh from their body mouth to mouth. They are the most ferocious.

There is no reincarnation seal in the Yin God's body, which is very different from the life that was created after the ancient emperor's body was buried in the burial ground and after a long period of gestation and becoming spiritual again.

After Li Zhi stepped into the twelfth courtyard world of the ancestral temple, he saw many descendants of Yin gods hidden in the black fog, as well as many human skins whose blood and flesh essence had been devoured by them.

At the same time, he felt more and more strange in his heart.

What exactly does Yuhua Divine Dynasty want to do?
These ancestral temple worlds could clearly be the most sacred places in the world, so why did they have to reverse yin and yang and turn them into the spooky and ghostly places they are today?

Is he practicing a method to achieve immortality? But it doesn't look like a method to achieve immortality.

Li Zhi's purpose of coming to the Yuhuazu Temple this time is slightly different from that of others.

The strong men from various ancient tribes came here to fight for the broken Cauldron of Immortality; the strong men from various religions of the human race came here for the divine treasures of the Yuhua Divine Dynasty; Ye Fan and others came here to find the spatial coordinates of the earth; and Li Zhi came here to explore the various methods of longevity that the Yuhua Divine Dynasty had studied.

As a divine dynasty dedicated to immortality, it is absolutely impossible that they have only studied one method of immortality.

Now seeing the small world where yin and yang have been reversed, Li Zhi knows that the Yuhua Divine Dynasty not only obtained part of the inheritance of the ancient heaven, but also part of the inheritance of the underworld.

Moreover, according to Li Zhi's investigation, although Emperor Yuhua became emperor as the master of Yuhua Divine Dynasty, he was not the true ancestor of the Yuhua Divine Dynasty.

Even Li Zhi suspected that Emperor Yuhua had been betrayed by the descendants of the Heavenly Court lineage within the Divine Dynasty.

The later style of behavior of the Yuhua Divine Dynasty was obviously different from the path to immortality pursued by Emperor Yuhua.

According to Li Zhi's investigation, Emperor Yuhua is a human emperor with an extremely low-key style of doing things. He has his own understanding of becoming an immortal and has gone further on the road to immortality than those supreme beings in the forbidden area. As for the broken Immortality Cauldron, he is absolutely capable of finding out its origins.

Some clues can be seen from the statue of Emperor Yuhua enshrined in the first ten courtyards of the ancestral temple.

The statue of Emperor Yuhua looks very strange, like a Buddha, and also like an old farmer, but nothing like a ruler of a divine dynasty with supreme majesty, or even a serious deity. Instead, he looks like an ascetic who practices both Buddhism and Taoism.

Judging from the statues left behind by Emperor Yuhua, Li Zhi felt that Emperor Yuhua must have studied the way of faith in depth and even achieved amazing results.

At the same time, he cut off the fruit of faith, completed an extremely special process of transformation into a mortal, and even gave up all immortality bestowed by external forces, and finally embarked on a path of immortality as an incarnation of a holy spirit.

Using the power of faith to gain immortality has great cause and effect, which is equivalent to forming supreme cause and effect with all living beings.

If the goal cannot be achieved, the end will be eternal extinction.

And to attribute all the great power to oneself, to transform the soul and flesh into a holy spirit stone fetus, to retain a ray of immortal spiritual light, to nourish it with the power of heaven and earth, as if to conceive an immortal, and finally to give birth to a supreme holy spirit body, is undoubtedly a freer way of longevity.

After achieving enlightenment again with the Holy Spirit Immortal Body, he was far superior to ordinary emperors, and perhaps even more terrifying than Ye Fan's holy body emperor.

A strong man at the level of the Great Emperor, who becomes the Emperor for the second time, can definitely reach the level of the Heavenly Emperor.

Ye Fan was able to prove his truth with a holy body that was comparable to that of a great emperor, and after becoming an emperor he would be able to place all the Heavenly Heart Seals under his feet.

Emperor Yuhua has perfected his transformation into a holy spirit, and after he attains enlightenment again, he will probably be able to do it.

Moreover, Emperor Zun is the best example of a great emperor-level strongman who became an emperor for the second time.

The predecessor of Emperor Zun was one of the nine great celestial masters in the mythological era, but he cut off all his past celestial master practices and abandoned all his past celestial master experiences. He started all over again and eventually became an emperor again, and became the unprecedented master of the heavenly court.

You know, in the mythological era, the Emperor's Heaven was the only Heaven that was successfully established since Emperor Huangtian left this world.

The Immortal Emperor, the Divine Emperor, the Fighting Saint Emperor and other powerful emperors of the ancient times were all extremely powerful, but none of them could establish the Heavenly Court.

The Henren Emperor and the Wushi Emperor in the ancient times were both extremely powerful, but they did not establish the Heavenly Palace.

The Green Emperor of the post-ancient times also wanted to establish the Heavenly Palace, but ultimately failed to realize his plan of rebuilding the Heavenly Palace.

In Li Zhi's opinion, if Emperor Yuhua had not been betrayed by his descendants, causing him to have an unparalleled cause and effect relationship with Emperor Henren, perhaps he would eventually be able to break through the channel between the two worlds and enter the strange world with his own strength, just like Emperor Wushi.

The attainments and potential of a person who can become emperor for the second time through his own efforts are immeasurable.

Emperor Yuhua is a greatly underestimated existence, but unfortunately he has a bunch of scumbag descendants.

The more Li Zhi thought about the various arrangements in the Yuhua Ancestral Temple, the more he felt that Emperor Yuhua was like a tool.

Without getting entangled with the evil spirits in the twelfth courtyard world, Li Zhi directly pushed the door and entered the thirteenth temple world.

The sky here is no longer dark, but full of light. A sacred and peaceful atmosphere envelopes the earth, as if one has arrived in a real little world of gods.

At least it looks more like the ancestral land of a supreme divine dynasty than the twelve temple worlds we passed by before.

In this small world, there are no descendants of the Yin God, nor any guardian beasts. Instead, there is a stone statue that is a hundred feet tall standing in the center of the world, emitting a soft light and attracting special attention.

There are dozens of mysterious Tao runes engraved on the stone statue, each of which can resonate with the Tao.

At this moment, many monks were already sitting in front of the stone statue, comprehending the great runes.

The clusters of small temple worlds are all interconnected, and there is not just one road that can lead to this place.

No one here cared about Li Zhi's arrival, and there was no fighting or killing. It seemed that after the initial fight, this place became peaceful.

Moreover, Li Zhi also discovered that these monks who comprehended runes all possessed a calm temperament to a greater or lesser extent.

It is very different from those monks who hurriedly break into the small world of the ancestral temple in search of treasure.

Sure enough, those who truly seek the truth will not be dazzled by flashy things.

Li Zhi randomly chose a place around the stone statue to meditate.

The runes on the stone statue are very special, and there are many spirit-exorcising runes that can command various strange beasts.

More runes are special runes whose meanings are unknown for a short period of time.

There are dozens of runes on the stone statue, each of which is extremely complex and composed of thousands of lines. They can directly resonate with the avenue between heaven and earth and are mysterious and unpredictable.

It seems to be a rune originating from the origin of the Tao.

Li Zhi carefully studied these runes and traced their origins, and soon he understood the origins of those runes.

It seems to be closely related to the runes of the Holy Spirit's gestation process studied by Emperor Yuhua, and is used to guide the Heavenly Dao and all the Daos.

The Holy Spirit that is born with nature is naturally nourished by the myriad ways of heaven and earth, but the creatures that are born with nature do not receive nourishment from the myriad ways.

Even if one successfully turns flesh and blood into a stone fetus, it will not be nourished by the myriad laws of heaven and earth. It will require artificial creation of an environment that is nourished by the myriad laws of heaven and earth.

After carefully memorizing those runes in his mind, Li Zhi decided to engrave similar Dao runes in the Taoist temple after he returned, so as to communicate with the myriad ways of heaven and earth and nourish the Taoist temple.

Without disturbing others, Li Zhi left the stone statue and wandered around in this vast small world. The thirteenth temple small world was very safe, with almost no risks.

It seemed that the risks that originally existed in this small world had been eliminated by the monks passing by.

This small world with mountains, water and light did not produce any immortal treasures.

Apart from the tattered and blood-stained clothes left by some deceased monks, there were no other signs of danger.

Although the small world is vast, it is not big for Li Zhi today.

In a forest, he accidentally met two monks who were plowing the land on a large scale.

They were two middle-aged cultivators, a man and a woman, both of whom had reached the 29th level of the immortal realm. Their looks were not outstanding, just above average.

After seeing that they had dug hundreds of miles of forest without finding anything, Li Zhi walked over curiously and asked, "Two Taoist friends, what are you looking for?"

"Who is it?" The two immediately became alert.

"I'm Li Zhi, nice to meet you two fellow Taoists." Li Zhi dispersed his magical powers that concealed his aura and came in front of them.

"We are Wang Chan and Yan Ruyan from the Yuling Sect, nice to meet you, senior." After feeling the kingly aura emanating from Li Zhi, the two of them greeted him very politely.

"Yuling Sect? I wonder what the relationship is between the two fellow Taoists and the Yuling Sect among the various schools of thought and religions in Zhongzhou?" Li Zhi asked curiously.

The Yuling Sect is a sect that uses the control of spirit insects as its main means of attack. It ranks relatively low among the various schools of thought and the hundreds of schools of thought in Zhongzhou. In its heyday, it was once among the top ten schools of thought and the hundreds of schools of thought. It is a sect with profound heritage, but is now a somewhat desolate sect.

"My junior and I are from the Yuling Sect," said Wang Chan.

"The sect has declined and no longer has the aura of a major sect. Nowadays, my senior brother and I call ourselves the sect when we go out." Yan Ruyan also explained.

"I see. It's common for major sects to rise and fall. I wonder what you two fellow Taoists are looking for here? It seems that you two have almost searched the entire forest." Li Zhi asked.

"In reply to your words, according to the records of our Yuling Sect, the Yuhua Divine Dynasty once cultivated the legendary God-killing insect. This time, we brothers and sisters came here to try our luck and see if we can get some God-killing insect eggs. Moreover, we sensed the breath of the God-killing insect on the stone statue in the center. But we did not find any trace of the God-killing insect in this small world. So we came to look for it in the surrounding mountains and forests."

The two did not hide their intentions from Li Zhi and told him their purpose directly. They even told Li Zhi the functions of several spirit-controlling talismans on the stone statue, including the rune that could drive the god-killing insect.

At the same time, they also told Li Zhi that the purpose of searching for the God-killing Worm was to obtain the eggs of the God-killing Worm and thus revive the reputation of their Yuling Sect.

Finally, Li Zhi said, "Since there are no traces of the divine insects here, they may have been wiped out by the cultivators who came in earlier. Why don't you two fellow Taoists look for them in the small world behind?"

But after hearing this, a hint of hesitation appeared on their faces, as if they didn't want to go any further.

"Are there any difficulties? Is there a big threat in the world behind?" Li Zhi asked with some confusion.

"Senior, it's not that we don't want to go deeper, but the temple behind is too dangerous. Previously, several of our friends entered the ancestral temple in advance, but now their soul lamps have all gone out. The strength of my two brothers and sisters is not stronger than those Taoist friends. If we go there rashly, I'm afraid it will be dangerous."

After saying that, Wang Chan even took out six extinguished soul lamps and showed them to Li Zhi.

"Knowing when to retreat and having reasons for advancing and retreating, your choice is correct." Li Zhi nodded slightly. He really appreciated this choice that could put preserving one's life first.

As an ordinary cultivator, you should have the awareness of an ordinary cultivator.

Since ancient times, great opportunities have been obtained by people with great luck.

When ordinary cultivators compete for opportunities, they often become stepping stones for peerless geniuses and directly lose the lives they have worked hard for hundreds or thousands of years.

Less than a day had passed since the Yuhua Ancestral Temple was opened, and a large number of monks had already died.

The real life is like grass.

In many cases, we don’t even know who killed the person and the death is inexplicable.

These two brothers and sisters, as the backbone of the Yuling Sect, are only over a thousand years old now. The probability of them successfully achieving the Dao in the future is very high, and they shoulder the hope of the rise of the Yuling Sect.

Because of the loss of the ancient evil insect, the Yuling Sect is about to fall out of the ranks of the various schools of thought in Zhongzhou, but they cannot afford to lose here.

Otherwise it will be a major blow to the Yuling Sect.

In order to prevent accidents, although they were traveling with many people, the two of them did not rush into the ancestral temple at the first time, but delayed for two hours before entering the ancestral temple.

For most cultivators, encountering the God-killing Bug would result in very dangerous situations.

Often, no one would specifically go out of their way to capture the God-killing Bug. Even if someone encountered it in advance, they would just stay away from it.

However, as monks of the Yuling Sect, they have secret methods in the sect that can help them collect adult insects and even find insect nests and collect eggs.

However, they searched for a long time but could not find any trace of the God-killing Bug.

Seeing that Li Zhi was about to leave, Yan Ruyan felt that Li Zhi was different from the others, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Senior, can you take the two of us to find the whereabouts of the divine insect?"

"Junior sister, how can you trouble us senior with our affairs? If you get it, I'm lucky, if you lose it, I'll die." Wang Chan was afraid that Yan Ruyan's rude behavior would anger Li Zhi, so she quickly scolded her.

Yan Ruyan seemed to be sure that Li Zhi could lead them to find the God-killing Bug. She ignored her senior brother and took out an ancient animal skin scroll and said to Li Zhi, "Senior, Ruyan is willing to offer a secret recipe I taught you in exchange for the reward of leading us to find the whereabouts of the God-killing Bug."

"What secret recipe?" Li Zhi asked curiously.

"Please take a look, senior." Yan Ruyan directly handed the animal skin scroll to Li Zhi. She was not afraid at all that Li Zhi would take the thing and not let them play.

"Huh, Golden Body Liquid?" After Li Zhi opened the animal skin scroll, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Then he began to study it carefully.

The Golden Body Liquid recorded above is a supreme precious liquid for cleansing the body, which is refined using the body of the God-killing Insect as raw material.

After repeated cleansing, the cultivator will be able to forge an indestructible body of diamond, a golden body that even the god-killing insects cannot bite.

At the same time, the purer the blood of the God-killing Worm used as the raw material, the better the effect of the Golden Body Liquid.

"Next, just follow me. I will protect your safety and lead you to find the God-killing Bug." Li Zhi put away the ancient prescription with great satisfaction and said solemnly to the brother and sister.

"Thank you, senior." Yan Ruyan was extremely happy, and Wang Chan also showed a hint of surprise on her face.

Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "We each take what we need, and you don't need to thank me."

It was a rare opportunity to see an ancient recipe created for body refining, which made Li Zhi quite happy. He also wondered what the difference was between the golden body liquid recorded on it and the golden body liquid of Buddhism in the ancient times.

Li Zhi knew that in the Yuhua Ancestral Temple there was not only a nest of god-killing insects, but also ancestral insects at the saint level whose bloodlines were almost at the level of reversion to their ancestors.

If he could catch them, they would be enough to refine the golden body liquid which would be of great benefit to his physical body.

Afterwards, Wang Chan and Yan Ruyan followed Li Zhi and entered the fourteenth courtyard world of the ancestral temple.
