Martial God: Grinding from Mortal Flesh to Immortality

Upon seeing this faint red light, Lu Sheng's expression instantly turned extremely serious.

"When the jade scroll flashes completely red, do not hesitate, crush it immediately!"

Lu Sheng recalled Meng Haoran's instructions.

Just as Lu Sheng was about to crush the jade scroll, the red light suddenly disappeared.

The duration was very short, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

"What's going on?"

Lu Sheng couldn't help but be stunned, staring intently at the jade scroll, falling into deep thought.

"According to Senior Meng, when the jade scroll glows entirely red, it must be crushed without hesitation. But now... why did it flash suddenly like that?"

Lu Sheng stared at the jade scroll, lost in thought.

The sudden flash of the jade scroll was completely different from what Meng Haoran had described.

This left Lu Sheng wondering whether he should crush the jade scroll immediately or not.

"Based on my previous guess, this competition is probably about the Human Federation and the Ten Thousand Laws Sect searching for something in the Three Thousand Worlds."

"And this thing is extremely dangerous, so we need to crush the jade scroll without hesitation. After all, once the jade scroll is crushed, we get teleported out."

"The red light... represents that the jade scroll has detected that thing. But the sudden flash..."

"Perhaps it merely sensed a trace of the aura but is not certain."

"If that's the case..."

Lu Sheng lightly spoke, his mind beginning to race.

"If the jade scroll flashes completely red, I would naturally crush it without hesitation. But now... maybe I can wait a bit."

A glint of determination flickered in Lu Sheng's eyes.

This competition, for the high-level officials of the Human Federation, might be about finding something. But for Lu Sheng, it was about scoring as many points as possible to achieve a better result for the Life Factions in this competition.

"I'll gamble! No rush to crush the jade scroll!"

Lu Sheng let out a long breath, making his decision.

Then he took out the jade scroll given to him by the Nascent Soul Insect Immortal, referencing the demonic modification technique. Although he wouldn't cultivate this demonic technique himself, he could still use it to disguise himself.

After all...

Currently, Lu Sheng's mastery of martial arts had already reached an advanced level. Such a crude demonic modification technique could be easily learned by him.

It only took the time of one incense stick for Lu Sheng to fully grasp the intricacies of this demonic modification technique.

"Although I won't cultivate it, to blend into this world and gather more intelligence, I still need to disguise myself!"

As he spoke, Lu Sheng smiled faintly, his flesh squirming. Always read at the source—MV@LEMP@YR.

Suddenly, several arms grew forcibly from Lu Sheng's back, resembling the strange appearance of the Golden Core Insect Immortal he had seen before.

Even Lu Sheng's head also morphed, transforming into the semblance of the Nascent Soul Insect Immortal's head.

A martial artist in the Tier Six Immortal Realm had a high degree of control over their flesh, making this very easy.

After a brief trial, Lu Sheng's figure shimmered slightly, returning to normal.

"This way, that Nascent Soul Insect Immortal won't discover anything unusual."

Lu Sheng smiled faintly.

"I can't say I can disguise myself until the Nascent Soul stage, since by that stage, the insect eggs will hatch, and the consciousness will be devoured by the Void Insect Race, making it hard to disguise. But disguising until the Golden Core stage... that's a piece of cake."

Having resolved all this, Lu Sheng estimated that he wouldn't have any worries up to the Golden Core stage and prepared to gather information from within the Pure and Muddy Gate.

Although Lu Sheng couldn't leave the Pure and Muddy Gate, it was still easy to move around within the sect.

Moreover, since he was a personal disciple of the Nascent Soul Insect Immortal, his status in the Pure and Muddy Gate was very high. Even the Foundation Establishment Insect Immortals had to treat him respectfully.

Thus, Lu Sheng could easily gather information from these sect disciples.

In a leisure area of the Pure and Muddy Gate.

Lu Sheng looked excitedly at a Foundation Establishment disciple of the sect and said, "Junior Brother, can you tell me about the world of cultivation?"

Lu Sheng's portrayal was that of a fledgling encountering the cultivation world for the first time, showing great curiosity about everything.

The Foundation Establishment disciple did not find it strange either. Every newcomer to the cultivation path would be like this, and given Lu Sheng's status, he was even more willing to build a good relationship with him.

"Where did we leave off last time?"

The Foundation Establishment disciple cleared his throat, smiling as he spoke.

"We were talking about... Oh right, about that traitor who betrayed the sect more than thirty years ago."

Lu Sheng pretended to ponder, then smiled and said.

"Oh, that Demon Cultivator!"

The Foundation Establishment disciple suddenly understood, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.

"Speaking of that Demon Cultivator makes me angry. The sect provided him with so many resources, cleared his path of cultivation, and yet he still betrayed the sect!"

"Demon Cultivator?"

Lu Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, noting the disciple's choice of words.

"Junior Brother, who exactly are these Demon Cultivators?"

Lu Sheng's interest was piqued.

The Foundation Establishment disciple explained, "Demon Cultivators are anomalies in the cultivation world. They always do things that are hard for ordinary people to understand, but their combat strength is incredibly powerful, making them the pests of our cultivation realm!"
