Chapter 131 Evil Transformation
Facing such a majestic and magnificent city.

Any words and phrases that describe the shock in people's hearts when they see her for the first time would pale and dry in the face of the actual sight and magnificence.

It was as if man had created a wonder that was comparable to the power of nature.

It was like a series of mountains rising from the ground, or like a giant beast from the extraordinary realm crawling here.

Even from a distance, Yue Hanzhang could clearly see that the vast river named Jichuan, after running through the northern states from the westernmost land, finally passed through the city here.

It actually passes through the huge city of the provincial capital.

The vastness of the naturally occurring river is just a "thin" thread in front of such a huge city, a natural embellishment of the magnificent scenery of the huge city.

Watching like this, being silent like this.

As the chariot gradually moved towards the gate.

Yue Hanzhang's perspective was no longer focused on such a magnificent outline.

The huge, thick and smooth city wall was "coming towards us".

At just one glance, Yue Hanzhang felt that this was truly a wall that made people "desperate".

What kind of extraordinary monster could leave a trace on such a smooth and simple wall? Who could climb to such a height? What kind of power could shake this wall?

When he looked closely, Yue Hanzhang even saw that on the smooth surface of the city wall, there were actually Taoist seals engraved, which made it seem like some special stone from the extraordinary realm, with a strength that surpassed special alloys.

The shock brought by this recognition of details is no less than that of the magnificent outline.

Yue Hanzhang truly realized his own insignificance, and realized that martial arts, flesh, blood, and bones were weak in front of this strong city.

This is the fortress belonging to the aristocratic family.

It is an existence that Qin Linhui and his companions, as well as their teachers and ancestors, have all tried to shake.

As he thought about this, Yue Hanzhang's attention was no longer on this huge city itself.

But before he could be trapped in the vicissitudes of history of Beiting Tiandu Taoist Temple for too long.

As the chariot convoy approached, the closed heavy alloy gate slowly opened at this moment, and the friction sound like thunder broke out as the machinery operated.

The main road leading into the city is like the busiest street in the city center of the former base city, the size of several streets combined.

And as far as the eye can see, there are suddenly prosperous residential areas, noisy commercial areas, and in the distance quiet high-end hillside residences and garden courtyards.

There are no shanty towns and no dark side of the city.

For some reason, at this moment, Yue Hanzhang suddenly wanted to laugh while sitting in the chariot.

It was as if he were sailing from the Stone Age to the Interstellar Age.

An unprecedented sense of separation was trying to engulf him.

But right now.

Without waiting for the convoy to go too far along the long street.

Suddenly, the entire convoy slammed on the brakes and stopped where it was.

In the distance, the roar of chariots could be heard.

Higher up in the sky, there was the sound of shuttles speeding by.

At the same time, the sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard.

In an instant, Yue Hanzhang was startled.

Have the reactions of the various aristocratic families to Qin Linhui's founding of the Tao become so violent?

They actually wanted to kill me right after I entered the city? !

Tian Shouli's chariot was still ahead. Did the Tian family express their stance? Could it be that the admission letter from the Taoist Academy was just a pretext to appease him?
……

But before Yue Hanzhang could think further.

He saw a disheveled young man running wildly down the long street as if he was "unconscious" -

Yue Hanzhang had only seen that kind of empty face and eyes on dead people's faces.

But he was clearly still running, and his strides were rapid with an unprecedented surge of energy and blood.

Soon, his empty face became hideous and distorted, and his empty eyes gradually began to show the ferocity of a wild beast and the struggle in extreme pain.

And at this moment, his body was bulging violently in a very obvious way.

Soon, the expansion of his body caused him to tear apart the armor and training clothes he was wearing.

On his arms, dense scales began to grow from the cortex and soon overlapped to form armor.

But when you look closely, you can see sharp bone spurs protruding from the joints such as the elbows and shoulders, tearing through the scales while growing and curling freely in the air.

But in a moment, the bone spur grew like the horns of cows, sheep, or deer.

At the same time, on his torso, beast-like hair was growing wildly like weeds.

Even among these suddenly thick hairs, one can tell at a glance the differences between several different species of monsters.

These changes are not over yet.

Then run out in two or three steps.

The thick scales on the man's arms suddenly "exploded".

At the moment when flesh and blood flew everywhere, these scales seemed to be in conflict with him. Almost instantly, in the bright red blood, the hair, scales, and tentacles seemed to have their own ideas, wanting to freely display the "artistic beauty" of life from this arm.

"Ugh—ah—!" When a roar almost like that of a wild beast broke out from his throat.

This person no longer looks like a human being.

Even his head turned into a beast at this moment, presenting a very "diverse" and rich scene. Scales of different sizes, hairs of various colors, and keratin that was eager to try all appeared on the ferocious wolf head.

As a result, his body was no longer standing like a human, but was on all fours like a wild beast.

It was at this moment that the sound of breaking through the air that had been heard before seemed to have finally found its target.

From the shuttle, a sharp arrow with a hook and a chain pierced through the body of this "multi-dimensional monster".

When looking closely, at the moment the arrow pierced through, a huge light emerged from the man's body, as if he was trying to activate some extraordinary power.

But before the Taoist crown appeared between his brows, the same incomplete demonic text was born elsewhere on his body. The two forces with the same origin but different manifestations seemed to be fighting with his body as a battlefield.

It was precisely because of this moment of delay that the arrow carrying the Taoist seal suddenly pierced through Hao Guang, causing a large cloud of blood mist and nailing him to the spot.

What happened next seemed unremarkable.

Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—

The sound of arrows breaking through the air followed closely.

It was unclear whether it was the effect of the Taoist seals or some kind of medicine applied to the arrow, but soon, it was clearly a "penetrating wound" all over the body. However, the strange and evil "multi-dimensional demon beast" soon fell into a coma during the violent struggle.

The chariots in the distance finally arrived at this moment.

A group of people wearing explosion-proof suits worked together to carefully capture the "multi-dimensional monsters". The compartment of one of the chariots was opened, revealing the structure of a "mobile prison" inside.

Load up and go.

Up to this moment, Yue Hanzhang seemed to have not yet escaped from the creepy changes of the "multi-dimensional demon beast".

He was in a mixed state of physical and mental discomfort.

What is this, a new kind of show of force?

It was at this moment that Tian Shouli's voice came through the convoy's internal line and from the tank's built-in speakers.

"It's a good opportunity for us to enter the city, so I can come early to teach you this lesson."

"In fact, there is an exhibition hall in the Taoist temple itself to show the tragic end of these monks who turned evil on the path of transcendence."

"This is the danger that human cultivators have to face on their journey to explore the Dao."

"The essence of the human race's Taoism is the product of the orderly reorganization and interpretation of the extraordinary abilities of monsters by generations of sages. It can even be said that there has never been a human race's Taoism, and its roots are nothing more than the extraordinary abilities of monsters."

"Think about the golden seal for receiving the dharma. Putting aside the mystery of the formula, part of its essence is the combination of materials from different monsters with the same attributes and the same extraordinary abilities."

"With this kind of refining, it is destined that the part that belongs to the demon beast will accumulate in your body."

"Once you have conquered it, it will be your extraordinary ability and a stepping stone on your path of cultivation."

"If you can't subdue it, once these forces begin to erupt from your physical and spiritual essence, you will become completely evil. Conceptually, the part of you that is human will be completely dead at that moment."

"Even because of the complex combination of the formula, wanting to be 'born as a beast' is a luxury!"

"The harm caused by evil monks is no less than the rampage of monsters!"

"This is the price every Taoist practitioner must pay when embarking on this journey!"

“That’s why, when Qin Linhui wanted to create that path, he attracted so much fierce opposition from so many people.”

"Breaking down barriers sounds cool and elegant, but little do people know that these barriers are the most reliable path of cultivation that the ancient sages have tested with their blood, tears and lives, and the path of cultivation that minimizes the probability of evil transformation."

"Breaking the barriers means breaking this stability. No one can imagine what a terrifying scene it would be if the extraordinary powers of Wanfa, Yuling, and Zongqi were combined in the body of a powerful monster and its cultivator turned evil."

"Mediocre people should follow mediocre paths."

"This is not an arrogant statement. Extremely strong talents, extremely strong images and bloodlines can effectively resist the accumulation of evil power."

"But the instincts of a mediocre cultivator mean that they are inadequate in ability. If they suddenly master powerful strength, it means that they are 'unworthy of their position' and are very likely to be backlashed and turn evil faster."

“So when many people opposed it, they really thought it was a wrong path, but they didn’t expect…”

But I didn’t expect that Qin Linhui would actually walk out of this path.

Completeness means order, and order means stability.

Tian Shouli seemed to be trying to explain something, trying to persuade something.

But in the face of Qin Linhui's success, these words seem pale and powerless.

So, after a brief silence, Tian Shouli's voice sounded again.

"You should work hard. The Daoist academy and I will be paying close attention to the competition. Recently, almost all the top talents selected by the Daoist academy from other places will also come here one after another.

The true seed students for the academy in the next few years are never selected through the martial arts college entrance examination, but through such training.

Keep up the good work, I will be waiting for you at the Taoist temple in half a year!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Shouli's chariot moved first, and in an instant, the remaining chariots followed closely.

In the blink of an eye, this chariot was the only one left on the spot.

At the same time, Jiang Lingxiu's voice slowly sounded.

"Go to the South City, the second floor of the underground city."
