The Heavens: From Knowing Whether You Rule the World

Chapter 174 Gold-eating bug!

The cool breeze blows and the branches and leaves sway.

Occasionally a white light would drift by, bringing with it a chill.

A green light flashed, and Chu Hong, dressed in a dark green Taoist robe, walked out slowly, his spiritual sense sweeping around unscrupulously.

The group from Xutian Palace, even including the law enforcement elders of Xinggong, only had four cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

As one of the four Nascent Soul cultivators, the danger posed to him by the Xutian Palace group was almost negligible.

Fearless, naturally fearless.

"Ming Fenglin?"

Chu Hong's eyes flickered and he waved his hand. A palm-sized emerald green ring inlaid with gold fell into his hand, emitting bursts of red flames, which turned into a shield and extended outward a hundred steps.

The red flames extended, and occasionally one or two white mist ghosts would touch the flames, making a "sizzling" sound and turning into ashes.

After Xuanhuojian cleared out a group of ghosts, Chu Hong slowly looked at this famous place of ghosts.

The first level of Xutian Palace is the place where ghosts are wronged.

The Land of Ghostly Injustice is filled with ghost fog, which covers a very wide area, and thus has many special terrains, Mingfenglin being one of them.

This is one of the rare dangerous forbidden areas in the first level, and many Jindan cultivators have died there in the past.

Yilin is a place of accumulated resentment and is already full of negative energy. There are also many Jindan cultivators who have bad luck and die with hatred, and thus turn into evil spirits one by one.

These evil spirits all wanted to enter the Xutian Palace to find out the truth during their lifetime, but they failed to accomplish their great cause and died with hatred and jealousy in their hearts. Their instinctive hatred made these cultivators unwilling to give up even after turning into evil spirits and they wanted to drag others into the water.

As a result, the difficulty level of the ghost land is getting higher and higher.

Sometimes, there would even be ghost kings who were comparable to late Jindan cultivators. They were jealous and resentful and wanted to drag those who intended to enter the temple into the water, turning them into evil ghosts, with no reincarnation or rebirth.

Chu Hong scanned with his spiritual sense and saw several little ghosts at the ghost king level, and shook his head slightly.

With a wave of his hand, the small world at his fingertips moved slightly, and a series of buzzing sounds were heard. Nearly ten thousand red-gold gold-eating insects were flying around, all of them were ferocious and looked quite aggressive.

If it weren't for the mind-controlling restrictions that had already been in place, these gold-eating bugs would definitely retaliate without hesitation.

This is their instinct, to fight each other and no one will give in to the other.

This is the fifth generation of gold-eating insects that Chu Hong has raised over the past twenty years. It is enough to be used as a killing trick for the Nascent Soul stage.

The first generation of gold-eating beetles are just dormant gold-eating beetles, with a silver body and a beetle as big as a grain of rice.

Most of the gold-eating bugs of this generation are eggs, and a few have hatched, but they are not very threatening.

Even so, relying on the nature of the gold-eating bugs, if their numbers are large enough, a first generation of gold-eating bugs is enough to allow foundation-building cultivators to dominate.

The second generation of gold-eating beetles are hatched from the eggs of the first generation of gold-eating beetles. They have been eating "Rainbow Grass" to grow since hatching. There are many golden dots on their silver armor, and some powerful ones can reach nearly half of the gold armor.

This generation of gold-eating bugs would scare even Jindan cultivators when they encounter them.

The third generation of gold-eating bugs evolved from the second generation of gold-eating bugs fighting and devouring. Gold-eating bugs have always been aggressive, and Chu Hong has a small world of absolute spirits that specially grows and cultivates colorful grass, so these gold-eating bugs have no shortage of food for their own evolution.

However, when the gold-eating bugs evolved to a certain level, they reached a certain bottleneck. In order to evolve, the gold-eating bugs fought and devoured each other.

During that period of time, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold-eating bugs fought each other until only one or two hundred were left.

As these one or two hundred gold-eating beetles devoured their own kind, and with the continuous supply of rainbow grass, the silver spots on their shells faded a lot. Some of the ones that were killed most severely even had only about one-fifth of the silver spots left.

These hundreds of gold-eating bugs evolved greatly and began to multiply slowly.

Reproduce, fight, reproduce, fight, reproduce.
This continued over and over again, until slowly there were more than ten thousand third-generation gold-eating bugs.

The third generation of gold-eating bugs would basically cripple a Jindan cultivator if they encountered one, and even a Yuanying early stage cultivator would have to be wary of the pain.

The fourth generation of gold-eating bugs evolved from the fighting of the third generation of gold-eating bugs. When the three generations of gold-eating bugs fought to a certain extent, the spots basically did not change much, and the effect of the neon grass gradually diminished.

For this reason, Chu Hong made a decision that went against... ahem.

Feed the gold-eating bugs with Tianlei Bamboo!

During the twenty years that Chu Hong was carving, more than two thousand years had already passed in the Jueling small world. The Tianlei Bamboo, which originally had only roots, had long since turned into a bamboo forest. Each root was not as dense as the ten thousand year old Golden Thunder Bamboo, but there were many of them.

Feeding gold-eating bugs with Tianlei Bamboo has a pretty good effect!
The gold-eating bugs, after eating the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo and the Rainbow Grass, gradually developed some metamorphosis characteristics.

Since then, the fourth generation of gold-eating beetles has grown up.

Nearly 90% of the spots on the fourth generation of gold-eating worms turned golden, with only a few gaps covered with silver spots.

The fourth generation of gold-eating bugs are no longer afraid of the magic skills of some Nascent Soul cultivators, and their defense has reached an astonishing level.

The reason why gold-eating bugs are so powerful is nothing more than two characteristics.

One is the gathering power of killing and devouring, the other is the very strong defensive power.

If the third generation of gold-eating insects were afraid of the magical powers of the early Nascent Soul cultivators and were afraid of being killed instantly by the ultimate moves of the early Nascent Soul cultivators, then the fourth generation no longer had so many concerns.

The fifth generation, which is the gold-eating bug that Chu Hong currently owns, is the result of the fighting and evolution of the fourth generation of gold-eating bugs.

The fighting characteristics of gold-eating beetles are quite strange. Most of the time, they will not kill their own kind. However, when they reach a certain evolutionary period and are just about to succeed, they will kill their own kind without hesitation.

The fight among the fourth generation of gold-eating bugs was quite brutal.

The fourth generation of gold-eating bugs, the cultivation of a single one has already reached the false elixir stage, and they are fighting each other for evolution.

During that period, in order to make the killing more exciting, Chu Hong even appropriately enlarged the living space of the gold-eating insects.

When you have nothing to do, just watch those powerful gold-eating insects killing and devouring from a God's perspective.

If the time of the Jueling small world is counted, then the killing this time of evolution basically took nearly a year.

Kill for a year, cultivate for a year, nourish for a year, and evolve for a hundred years.

Since then, five generations of gold-eating insects have been formed.

The fifth generation of gold-eating insects are red-gold in color with faint silver spots. The cultivation of any one of them has reached the early stage of Jindan, and some powerful ones have even reached the middle stage of Jindan.

A strange insect in the Jindan stage is nothing, and ten of them are not enough to make a Yuanying cultivator look at them twice. A Yuanying-level magical power can easily destroy them.

Most of the one hundred Nascent Soul cultivators frowned slightly and would choose a pulling tactic.

If these one hundred beasts cooperate well and are only the size of rice grains, thus not a big target, the Nascent Soul cultivator would probably be annoyed by them.

If it was a Nascent Soul cultivator who didn't have a range attack, being delayed for an hour or two wouldn't be a big deal.

Since they can be held back, it is unlikely that the whole group will be wiped out. There will always be one or two that can escape quietly.

One thousand!

When a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage sees him, he has to run away and dares not even think of competing with him. Even a cultivator in the middle Nascent Soul stage would be terrified.

Ten thousand!

Well, that's basically the level that even the great monks would be scared of. "Go."

Chu Hong raised his hand slightly and pointed to the deep and dark place, where the hesitant ghost kings were.

The Ghost King in the late Jindan stage has already greatly developed his intelligence. Even if he is not as good as a normal person, he is not much different.

Several ghosts gathered together, probably because they had calculated the time when Xutian Palace would open, and they wanted to drag some people into the water.

Unfortunately, these trucks were not in good condition.

"Buzz!"

Tens of thousands of gold-eating bugs rushed towards the glittering black ghost fog and started biting it.

Several ghost kings were furious, and the yin energy covered the sky, which seemed to overwhelm the gold-eating bugs, but before they could react, the yin energy was swallowed up.

The gold-eating bug looks small, but its talent for devouring is quite amazing, and it bites the ghost's Yin energy bite by bite.

For a while, the sound of ghost howling continued and echoed.

After about ten breaths, the Yin energy of several ghost kings was completely devoured, and they could no longer maintain their bodies, turning into flying ashes.

Chu Hong's eyes narrowed slightly and he waved his hand. The gold-eating insects seemed to have received an order and combined themselves with their red-gold armor to form a two-meter-tall chariot.

Some redundant gold-eating bugs obediently turned into red-gold coffee tables and landed on the throne.

The red-gold chariot was glowing with a faint golden glow, and had extraordinary horns.

Chu Hong chuckled, flew up into the air, sat down slowly, and slowly made some tea.

The flags were flying, and the chariot showed no fear at all, flying towards the inner hall in a swagger.

This is an unknown garden. Not only are there large tracts of extraordinary magical herbs planted there, but there are also seven or eight exquisitely carved pavilions, which seem to provide a place for people to rest.

At this moment, there were dozens of monks standing or sitting sparsely around these pavilions.

Among these people, the lowest level of cultivation is at the Jindan stage. Each of them looks either bloody or pale. You can tell at a glance that they have all experienced fighting and suffered hardships in this land of injustice.

Wan Tianming, Man Huzi, Jiyin Old Monster, Qingyi Jushi and other Nascent Soul cultivators were also resting their eyes and cultivating in peace in the pavilion.

The two elders in Xinggong who were in charge of enforcing the law on this occasion also quietly rested in an open space, recuperating silently.

Suddenly, the ghost fog cleared up, and a straight passage appeared faintly. A monk in a dark green Taoist robe walked out slowly.

This monk was extremely calm and relaxed, looking extremely relaxed, and he didn't seem to be bothered by the ghost fog at all. He was obviously an important person.

Many monks looked at it in astonishment, and then quickly closed their eyes.

If it’s not Chu Hong, then who could it be?

Han Li felt relieved when he saw his mentor coming.

During this trip to Xutian Palace, the number of Yuanying monsters was beyond his imagination. He was a small cultivator in the early stage of Jindan and was basically at the bottom of the list. He was really nervous!

Chu Hong took a general look at the situation in the field, shook his head slightly, walked to a small pavilion, and sat quietly to cultivate himself.

The restrictions in Xutian Palace all have specific activation times, and even people from the Xing Palace cannot change them.

This kind of self-cultivation takes quite a long time.

Just when most people were getting a little impatient, a blinding white light rose from a bare stone slab where the two Star Palace law enforcement elders were sitting and recuperating.

Seeing this scene, many monks stood up excitedly.

This is also a formation, roughly similar to the previous one, and it is obviously a teleportation formation to the next level.

Without waiting for the group to react, the middle-stage Nascent Soul elder in white walked slowly, looked carefully for a while, then looked at the excited monks and said:

"This teleportation array is the only way to the next level, "Ice and Fire Road". However, before entering the second level, you have some time to collect some spiritual herbs and fruits as rewards for passing the first level. If you think the next level is too dangerous, you can also teleport back here and wait. After a month, a teleportation array will appear that will directly teleport you back to the hall, and you can go back on your own.

However, whether you want to pass the second level or are satisfied with this, you only have one day to pick the spiritual herbs. If you stay in there greedily after this time, you will never be able to escape.

As far as I know, no one who was imprisoned inside has ever been seen again when the Xutian Palace is opened next time. As for the reason for their disappearance, no one knows it yet. So don't be lucky and stay inside on purpose."

The old man in white's voice was not loud, but it echoed throughout the entire venue, allowing all the monks to hear it clearly.

Among these people, some who knew about this were absent-minded, while those who did not know about this looked surprised.

This is actually a universal magic circle. On the first day, it leads to the medicine field of Xutian Palace, and in the future, it leads to the inner hall of Xutian Palace.

As soon as the old man in white finished saying this, he looked at the somewhat cold law enforcement elder. The two looked at each other, and then stepped onto the legendary formation. White light flashed, and they disappeared.

This time, the other monks did not hesitate and rushed forward one after another.

Time is limited. The more time you spend searching for spiritual objects, the greater the possibility of gaining something.

Not far away, Han Li started talking with Master Xuan Gu, mainly about the treasure location of the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng.

"Han boy, let's go!"

Master Xuan Gu's eyes moved slightly, and there was a hint of anticipation in them.

There is still a ghost in his body. Once he tricks Han Li away, he will let the ghost take over Han Li's body. With the combined efforts of the two, it will be easy for them to kill Ji Yin.

Han Li's eyes settled slightly, and he was about to say something when a gentle voice came.

"Li'er, go ahead!"

Han Li was startled and looked quietly in the direction of his mentor, but saw that he had no reaction.

"Go ahead. I will go too."

The gentle voice makes people feel at ease.

Han Li's heart was greatly cheered up. He looked at Master Xuan Gu and was teleported over among the group of people.

Compared to most precious spiritual materials that are in the inner hall, the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng is located in the medicine field, and Xuan Gu happened to know this secret.

Chu Hong looked at Master Xuan Gu who left with them and chuckled.

The main reason why his good disciple came to Xutian Palace was to get the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng which would help in forming a fetus.

However, this Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng is not in the inner hall of Xutian Palace, but is privately stored in the medicine field of Xutian Palace.

As a result, Master Xuan Gu, who wanted to seek revenge, set his sights on Han Li's body and came up with a plan.

It’s a pity that Master Xuan Gu knows Chaos Star Sea too well!
It was precisely because he knew the Chaos Star Sea too well that he was destined to be tricked.

Chu Hong shook his head slightly, walked slowly forward, and stepped onto the teleportation array.

A white light flashed and the figure disappeared.
