Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

The arena fell silent for a moment, with only faint roars of beasts echoing from the distant, desolate forest.

Then, a sound as if it were piercing through the air suddenly rang out.

Then, everyone saw a person and a sword, flying over like a streak of light.

In the blink of an eye, they had arrived before everyone.

"It's him, Chen Yushu?"
How can this sword-riding speed be so fast?

Someone immediately recognized Chen Yushu's identity, their face filled with surprise.

Even among Soul Refining Realm cultivators, few can achieve such speed.

Upon seeing this, a glint of light flashed in Xu Qingyan's eyes, and a fighting spirit couldn't help but rise in her heart once again.

However, he clenched his fists, a hint of disappointment showing on his face.

Although his strength had improved considerably since the last major battle, he still lacked confidence in facing Chen Yushu at this moment.

Because he had already discovered that the other party's cultivation level had improved significantly compared to before, and he could also sense a pure, virtuous, and majestic aura emanating from the other party. This aura was naturally released only after the soul had reached a certain level of purity.

Therefore, I know that even if I have made some progress during this period, the other party must have made a lot of progress as well.

If they were to fight now, he really wouldn't be confident of victory.

In addition, with the land reclamation imminent, he also encountered an unfortunate complication.

After Chen Yushu appeared, a group of people quickly arrived behind him.

Leading the group were Liu Qiao'er and Shen Chenxue.

In addition, Chen Yushu's old acquaintances, including the God-favored Li Yangyang, the wine gourd Zheng Hong, the corpse raiser Zhao Yufeng and his junior brother Qi Jichuan, as well as the Yan and Mo families from Qinghe County, all came.

Although the total number of people was not too large, only a little over one hundred to nearly two hundred, each of them had a strong presence, but they all inexplicably carried a sense of fearlessness in the face of death.

"Cough cough!"

Li Haohai coughed lightly, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's not delay any longer."

Let's go!

Rumble!
In an instant, a large group of cultivators at the east gate of the city rushed towards the desolate forest without the slightest hesitation.

Although the speed wasn't particularly fast, everyone's face showed a hint of tension.

Open up wasteland.

This isn't a dinner party; it's a real battle against all sorts of demons and monsters on the sacred mountain.

Death and passing away are perfectly normal things.

At this moment, Chen Yushu also arrived at his squad.

After he emerged from the pass, he discovered that the divinely favored Li Yangyang, the wine gourd Zheng Hong, and others had already arrived.

Moreover, each of them was accompanied by dozens of skilled men.

Although there weren't many cultivators at the Dao Entry Realm or above, they were all elites they brought with them.

Not to mention, there are some special talents among them, such as spirit plant masters, alchemists, formation masters, puppeteers, and so on.

In terms of quantity and quality, although they cannot compare to the talents carefully cultivated by sects and cultivation families, they are sufficient for use.

As for the battle?

Chen Yushu had no intention of including them in the combat lineup.

All the preparations made in the underworld were for this moment.

"Fellow Daoist Chen."

Just then, a group of people approached and bowed.

Chen Yushu recognized them as young disciples of the Tianxuan Sect and the Guiling Sect, the best of the younger generation. The leaders were Li Youzhi, the young sect master of the Tianxuan Sect, and Lin Miaoyin, the chief disciple of the Guiling Sect.

"Meet Daoyou Chen."

The group appeared slightly reserved, but still bowed to each other.

In essence, Chen Yushu belongs to the same generation as them. It is only because of his strength and his amazing battle with Xu Qingyan that they instinctively feel awe and curiosity.

"Fellow Daoist Li, Fellow Daoist Lin, and all other fellow Daoists, may I ask what brings you here today?"

Chen Yushu asked in confusion.

"It's also fortunate that, because of Junior Sister Liu, our Ghost Spirit Sect and fellow Daoists have this special connection."

One reason we came here this time was that our master saw that Fellow Daoist Chen's side was slightly short-handed.

So I was thinking about whether I could help.

Furthermore, fellow Daoist, please rest assured, we will only assist in eliminating the demon together, and will never covet any treasures from your immortal mountain.

Lin Miaoyin cupped her hands in greeting and said.

"right.

Our Tianxuan Sect and the Guiling Sect are both located on Tianxuan Mountain and were originally from the same sect, so we have a close relationship.

It is also a natural affinity between fellow Daoists.

Fellow Daoist, you are short-handed this time, so we should help you.

"While our strength is slightly inferior, preventing us from dealing with demons of the Calamity level or higher, we believe we can handle ordinary ghosts and evil spirits."

Li Youzhi, who was standing to the side, also spoke up.

The two were sincere, clearly having already received instructions from their sect to thoroughly befriend Chen Yushu. Even if they couldn't win him over to join the sect, they needed to establish a good foundation for their relationship.

"Thank you all for your kindness."

Actually, I don't lack manpower.

However, if fellow cultivators are willing to help, I would be very happy to do so.

Chen Yushu hesitated for a moment, then glanced back at Liu Qiao'er. Seeing a hint of expectation in her eyes, he agreed.

He knew that even if he occupied that level-three immortal mountain, he would still need external assistance to develop and expand it.

In the world of cultivation, although strength is paramount, human relationships and social dynamics are also indispensable for all development.

Helping each other is mutually beneficial; blindly refusing is inappropriate.

"Then it's settled."

"If you have any requests, please feel free to mention them, fellow Daoist."

Upon hearing this, Li Youzhi and the others immediately smiled and spoke.

They were actually quite happy to get close to and associate with a super genius like Chen Yushu.

After all, the opponent's strength was genuine. Although their cultivation level was comparable to theirs, their astonishing strength convinced them all and was enough to guide them.

If they could receive a few words of guidance during casual conversations, it would definitely save them from countless hours of arduous practice.

This is most evident in Liu Qiao'er.

Chen Yushu's understanding of magic and supernatural powers had already reached an incredibly profound level. Not to mention them, even their master, a True Person of the Soul Refining Realm, was far inferior to him in his understanding of the rules and mysteries of heaven and earth.

With a mere flick of his finger, one could reach the Great Dao, even clearly revealing the rules of heaven and earth before their eyes. This saved them not only the time and effort of cultivation, but also the transformative power of the Great Dao descending upon the mortal realm. Liu Qiao'er was able to defeat Xu Qingling in that battle precisely because of Chen Yushu's guidance and protection.

Her strength has been rapidly improving thanks to Chen Yushu's guidance, and she has already surpassed her previous level by a great deal.

As they spoke, the group had officially entered the wilderness forest.

The surrounding environment began to change abruptly.

Even the sky and earth seemed much darker, filled with countless miasmas, and many strange beasts panicked and ran away desperately because of the arrival of the group.

However, by this time, many teams had dispersed.

Because each had its own designated area for development and its own designated boundaries.

Chen Yushu already knew the chosen location and route by heart, so without hesitation, he shouted, "Follow me!"

Then quickly move towards your goal.

Along the way, they encountered and saw countless dark and ghostly creatures, including some with considerable strength.

But unless they happened to bump into him or showed any malice towards their line of work, he ignored them.

Because this area is all on the outskirts, and there are other pioneers who can deal with it, he doesn't need to be distracted.

Of course, if there are those with ill intentions, he can simply glance at them and pierce through them with a thought.

He could even keep an eye on the very back of the group and guard against any potential dangers.

The supernatural ability of observing the heavens through the Great Cave is truly wondrous beyond measure.

Therefore, even though the wilderness was filled with poisonous miasma and was dark and rugged, he could clearly sense any movement within a radius of several hundred feet.

It can also nip any potential danger in the bud and eliminate corresponding threats one by one in advance.

time flies.

The surrounding teams had completely dispersed.

Chen Yushu was left with only Violet Shen Chenxue, the God-favored Li Yangyang and the other cultivators, as well as the younger generation of cultivators from the Ghost Spirit Sect of the Heavenly Profound Sect.

The surrounding environment has also changed dramatically since the beginning.

Tall, twisted, and gnarled ancient trees blocked out the sky, and thick, dark green miasma floated low to waist-deep, exuding an aura of decay and poison.

The "road" underfoot had long been covered by tangled vines and slippery moss, and no one had ever walked on it.

Even the faint traces of someone walking by were completely hidden among the withered branches and lush vegetation. All that could be smelled was the strong, pungent stench of vegetation in the air, mixed with an indescribable fishy smell and a faint scent of blood.

The light was extremely dim, with only dappled light filtering through layers of leaves, adding to the oppressive and gloomy atmosphere.

“Everyone be careful.”

This miasma is extremely toxic; please remember to take antidote pills promptly.

Those with defensive spells should not be stingy with Dao Yuan.

Once miasma enters the body, the consequences are unpredictable.

Shen Chenxue spoke in a low voice, giving a reminder.

The environment here doesn't really affect cultivators like her who have entered the Dao realm. However, there are quite a few cultivators in the group whose cultivation level is below the three incense sticks' worth.

Every person has a unique role to play.

Although the land reclamation was fraught with danger, it was still necessary to bring so many people with us.

Therefore, preserving the integrity of the team is also a very important matter.

Fortunately, everyone present was a cultivator with rich combat experience and was well prepared, so no unexpected situation occurred.

Their rampage and reckless actions naturally attracted the attention of certain powerful beings in the wild forest.

Some people spread the word, while others, angered by the disturbance, took action.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
A series of loud noises rang out, and from the distant dense forest, it seemed as if figures were rushing over at high speed.

"alert!"

Liu Qiao'er was startled. The newcomer's aura was not weak; he had already reached the late stage of the Demonic level, which put considerable pressure on her.

And as soon as she finished speaking...

Wow!

boom!
A tree so large that three people could hardly encircle it suddenly exploded, and three lightning-fast gray-green figures, carrying a strong fishy smell and highly poisonous saliva, pounced on the group from three extremely tricky angles.

It was a three-headed creature resembling a jackal, with rotting fur oozing pus and eyes flashing with a malevolent red light—the "Rotting Heart Jackal"! They were hunting when they sensed the commotion and immediately rushed over.

We need to select a few tender prey from the group to satisfy our appetites.

They've been lying in wait, specifically targeting the weak!
However, what greeted them was not the panicked scene in the ranks, but rather a series of unparalleled sharp and incredibly fast flying swords.

In the blink of an eye, the three Corrupted Heart Jackals, which had reached the late stage of the Demonic level, were all killed and fell to the ground, unable to move.

It was the group of young disciples from the Tianxuan Sect and the Guiling Sect who made the move.

The journey had been too peaceful; no ghosts or monsters dared to attack a group like theirs. As a result, they hadn't been able to make a single move yet, and they were already getting restless.

With the appearance of these three Corrupted Heart Jackals, it was a perfect opportunity for them to show off, so naturally they were all eager to make their move.

These cultivators were all disciples of sects, each with a strength ranging from the early to mid-stages of the Dao Entry Realm, and some even possessing peak Dao Entry Realm experts. They were all elites.

Dealing with these corrupt jackals is naturally no problem.

"Keep moving forward and remain vigilant. There will be many more incidents of these demonic clashes to come."

Li Youzhi said something with a smug look on his face, then looked at Chen Yushu ahead.

From beginning to end, Chen Yushu did not move an inch, but simply sat on a blood-red horse and kept moving forward.

On the horse's head sat a young figure dressed in red.

The one who gave directions and guided the horses was actually the little girl in red.

Chen Yushu seemed to have entered a meditative state and was ignoring everything around him.

They knew that the little girl in red was Chen Yushu's ghost, and the horse was one that he had encountered in the wild forest and tamed at will.

They can certainly do that too.

But the other party's relaxed and nonchalant attitude still made them uneasy.

Next.

Along the way, the number of times they encountered monsters and ghosts that harassed them gradually increased.

Not only have the disciples of the Heavenly Profound Sect and the Ghost Spirit Sect made their moves, but Shen Chenxue, Li Yangyang, Liu Qiao'er, and others have also taken action one after another.

The speed at which the group set off was inevitably affected.

Chen Yushu, who had been at the forefront, remained motionless. His aura seemed to blend into the entire world, and if they hadn't seen him with their own eyes, they would have thought he had vanished.

Fortunately, although the demons interfering with the team were not weak, the strongest of them were only at the level of the Demon Lord, and they could not even hinder their progress.

Half an hour later. (End of Chapter)
