Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

At the same time, her body began to swell, her snowy white skin turning a bluish-black in an instant. Then her skin and flesh became loose and saggy, making her look like a decaying, fermenting corpse. It appeared exceptionally horrifying, unbearably tragic to behold.

"...Yanran, go peacefully! The family has raised you for so many years, now it's time to repay that kindness."

Ouyang Boxian stood outside the circle, his gaze icy cold as he watched everything unfold, muttering to himself without any intention of intervening.

...

As Central Continent's premier Great Sect, the Beast Taming Sect's mountain gate is situated deep within the Endless Mang Forest. Its vastness is unrivaled in this realm.

Gu God Peak serves as the core base of the Gu God Lineage, uniquely distant by eighty thousand miles from the other four lineages' mountain gates, precisely positioned at the boundary between the Endless Mang Forest and the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.

Gu God Peak is nestled before a series of magnificent mountain ranges, known for its precipitous and extraordinary terrain, soaring to ten thousand blades high. Its summit is covered in deep snow, and the mountains are full of bizarre trees and exotic plants. Amidst the enshrouding mists, the Spirit Palace's Treasure Hall appears hazy.

At the foot of the mountain, swamps are densely packed, countless stilts and high-rises are staked in the water, each emitting a shimmering spirit light, looking vibrant and mysterious.

The thousand-mile swamp periphery stretches into an infinite Primitive Forest, with bursts of bird calls and beast roars resonating through the woods. Various strange demon beasts and insects roam amidst the forest.

After flying for half a month straight, Ouyang Boxian traversed mountains and rivers, finally flying out of the perilous Endless Mang Forest, promptly returning to the Gu God Peak base.

After a short break, Ouyang Boxian entered the Killing Hall halfway up the mountain and successfully met Master Mo Lian of the Crimson Flower Hall, declaring his purpose.

Oh?!

Master Mo Lian's eyes narrowed, looking at the respectfully standing Ouyang Boxian below, confirming again: "Did you really capture the Blood Poison Demon?"

Ouyang Boxian bowed deeply, suddenly flicked his robe sleeve, and said simultaneously: "Ancestor Master Uncle, please look!"

Just as the words fell, a scarlet flowing light shot out from his sleeve, followed by a flash as it flew three circles in mid-air, before finally landing on Ouyang Boxian's hand, revealing a dark red strange mosquito with four wings and a large belly, pointed head.

Master Mo Lian first rejoiced at the sight, then suddenly furrowed his brows, his expression instantly cooling as he said unemotionally: "So it's already been blood-sacrificed? All excitement for nothing, humph!"

Ouyang Boxian was startled in his heart, yet could only grimly bow and reply: "This humble junior grandson fortunately completed Ancestor's bounty, hence specially came to report. I hope Ancestor Master Uncle informs Ancestor."

Master Mo Lian stood up, looked at him arrogantly, and said coldly: "You... come with me to the back mountain."

Upon finishing, he transformed into a piece of black light and flew out of the hall.

Ouyang Boxian was overjoyed, hurriedly wielding the Gu Banner, soaring into the sky to chase after the black light.

The two flew up from Gu God Peak, not long after passing over more than a dozen mountain peaks, they arrived above a valley, and then descended together.

...

"Taoist Zhao, the latest batch of experiments on my side have results. Come and see quickly."

A moment later, deep underground in the experimental field, a cold voice echoed: "The activity of C No. 43 Primordial Cell is excessively weakened, discarded!"

"D No. 25 strain failed to parasitize the Blood Essence Cell, discarded!"

"B No. 17 strain's mutation degree is excellent, ... the survival rate of test subjects exceeds Ninth Layer, side effects are not obvious. Continue targeted cultivation."

"A No. 29 strain successfully parasitized the Blood Seductive Worm, test subject infection reached ten levels, spread speed over two days, crystalization phenomenon hasn't appeared yet... Blood Seductive Worm potential is Seven Stars, temporarily listed as a backup."

"...Test subject No. 107, cultivation at the Seventh Level of Qi Refinement, refined seventy-six Essence Blood Pearls, initial crystalization phenomenon appeared half a day ago... Allow self-rescue during term, continue observing!"

"Test subject No. 18, cultivation at Foundation Establishment Late Stage, refined two hundred fifty-seven Essence Blood Pearls, state is excellent, crystalization phenomenon hasn't appeared... Increase supply, urge him to diligently cultivate... draw blood to test Blood Essence Cell activity, next one!"

"Test subject No. 3, Gui Jiao Taoist from Blood Demon Sect as Deputy Sect Master, cultivation at Golden Core Seventh Layer... Due to extreme non-compliance with the experiment, Heart-Soul Devouring Gu planted for half a month, state mentally unclear... Inject him A No. 29 Blood Seductive Worm, focus attention!"

In the twenty-first layer passage of the underground experimental field, the blusterous Golden Silkworm Ancestor, dressed in colorful attire, was walking while glancing at the green-robed Taoist beside him.

At this moment, Golden Silkworm Ancestor, with a big head and small body, resembling an eight-year-old child, has utterly lost his former arrogant demeanor, instead showing a kindly face, laughing as he said: "Taoist Zhao, only two Gu God Pills are left now. May I trouble you to refine a batch again?"

At this time, Zhao Sheng was observing the physical condition of the test subjects in the cells on both sides with Divine Thought.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng smiled gently, asking amiably: "As long as the senior has prepared the Spiritual Medicine, I can start refining Gu God Pills at any time."

Golden Silkworm Ancestor was delighted to hear these words, rubbing his hands repeatedly, laughing heartily: "Haha! This humble ancestor has already collected three portions of herbs, just waiting for Taoist to start refining the pills."

Saying this, he handed Zhao Sheng a Storage Bag.

Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed, reached out to take it, and at the same time handed back a gray Storage Bag.

"Inside are two Top-grade Spirit Stones of Wood Element, as a little token of appreciation from me, please accept it, Taoist."

"Haha, Brother Zhao, you're too polite!"

Although saying this, Golden Silkworm Ancestor took the Storage Bag very swiftly.

As the saying goes, to make a horse run, you must feed it grass!

For this alien cultivation experiment, Golden Silkworm Ancestor worked diligently and attentively for several decades, even delaying his cultivation.

Will it be merely for righteousness and good deeds?

That's you... totally overthinking it!

Zhao Sheng has paid a considerable price for this, refining Gu God Pill being only one part, sending Top-grade Spirit Stones is also a customary operation.

Yet the biggest price he paid was an invitation card, which symbolized a promise,

A promise from a Divinity Transformation True Monarch, how precious!

It can be said that with this invitation card, the Gu God Lineage would at least be peaceful and worry-free for three thousand years.

"By the way, someone brought in the Blood Poison Demon, Taoist Zhao, are you willing to accompany me to check out this Gu?"

"Oh? Someone has completed the bounty so quickly?" Zhao Sheng couldn't help showing a hint of interest.

Although the Blood Poison Demon doesn't belong to the Top Hundred Strange Gu, this insect was almost extinct in the Central Continent, unseen for ages.

Zhao Sheng thought it had already perished, unexpectedly someone caught this rare Gu insect so swiftly.

Before long, Zhao Sheng and Golden Silkworm Ancestor returned to the surface, inside the Green Stone Hall, where they met Ouyang Boxian who offered the Gu.

"Ouyang Boxian under Master Hundred Evil, pay respects to Golden Silkworm Ancestor, greet Demon Star senior!"

Seeing the two Ancestors appear, Ouyang Boxian immediately knelt in a grand ceremony to pay tribute.

"Hmm, rise without courtesy!" Jin Canzi casually instructed Ouyang Boxian to rise, while questioning: "Where's the demon insect?"

"It's... with me."

Ouyang Boxian did not expect Jin Canzi to be so straightforward, almost failing to react for a moment.

Fortunately, he had already refined the Blood Poison Demon in advance.

As his words fell, a scarlet stream of light flew out from his sleeve, buzzing wings vibrated, flying to the top of the hall, before the eyes of Jin Canzi.

Its afterimage flashed past mid-air, Jin Canzi's white tender hands pinched the demon insect's wings, bringing it to his eyes for a careful look, he was immediately satisfied and nodded approvingly.

He extended his hand before Zhao Sheng, saying proudly: "Taoist Zhao, does this Gu meet your requirements?"

Zhao Sheng released Divine Thought, repeatedly scanning the demon insect's body, finally nodding thoughtfully: "This Gu is precisely a female, and coincidentally at its mature stage, very suitable for hybrid cultivation of a new generation of Plague Insect.

Only, unfortunately, it has already been sacrificially refined."

"Hmm, should I execute him for that!" Jin Canzi, hearing this, raised his fine brows, immediately exuding killing intent.

Below, witnessing this situation, Ouyang Boxian was frightened, feeling cold sweat flowing, his face turning pale!

Zhao Sheng shook his head: "That's unnecessary! Though this person must join the experiment from now on, having an extra hand is also beneficial."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Boxian's forehead was profusely sweating, he suddenly felt relaxed, filled with the relief of escaping a disaster.

"Haha, let's go with Taoist Zhao's words." Jin Canzi laughed, then looked down at Ouyang Boxian, coldly asking: "Did you hear everything?"

Bang!

Ouyang Boxian promptly knelt again, loudly shouting: "Being able to serve the Ancestor is the blessing of three lifetimes of cultivation. This disciple is absolutely willing!"
