Chapter 502 Mutation of the Soul-Eating Insect

Half an hour later, the demon's pitiful cries gradually disappeared, and blood-red grid stripes appeared on its face, and its fangs grew an inch or so longer.

Its double pupils turned a deep blue, making it appear even more sinister and terrifying.

Yun Nianrong pursed her lips tightly, her expression extremely solemn. Her hand transformed into a blur, swiftly embedding layers of magical restrictions into her skull.

We have now reached the final stage, which is also the most crucial moment. We absolutely cannot let our guard down.

As the final layer of restrictions was imposed, the demon skull suddenly fell silent. It opened its mouth and inhaled, devouring all the Netherworld Demon Fire in the altar.

Two bursts of laughter echoed in the cave. The Demon Head's laughter was sharp and piercing, like a sharp object scraping against an iron plate, while Yun Nianronglong's laughter revealed a smug and arrogant self-satisfaction.

The Netherworld Demon Fire will be refined into a seed of fire by the Demon Skull, and from then on, the seed of fire will be able to generate this flame on its own.

Now, she no longer needs to fearlessly slaughter cultivators in the North. As long as she adjusts her state and breaks through to the Blood Core stage, she will be qualified to contend with various forces in the Western Continent.

Yun Nianrong put away the demon skull, turned around, and flew away wrapped in a layer of blood cloud.

This stronghold is going to be abandoned. She needs to go deep into the Ten Thousand Mountains and find a secluded place to make a breakthrough.

The afterglow of the setting sun was still intense, and there was no sign of nightfall.

The moment she flew out of the cave, Yun Nianrong suddenly stopped. She saw a cultivator in a gray Taoist robe standing not far from the cave, staring at her with great interest.

The other person had an ordinary appearance, but bright eyes that seemed to be able to see through the blood clouds to her true form.

He's been exposed! But why isn't this guy afraid?
Yun Nianrong couldn't understand it. She hadn't tried to hide it, yet the characteristics of a demonic cultivator were so obvious.

She approached the other party and used her divine sense to probe, but found that the spiritual power she emitted was like a stone sinking into the sea.

This alerted her. The other party either possessed secret techniques or had a cultivation level far exceeding hers. In either case, it was not the person she had seen.

"Since you can see through my identity, why aren't you afraid?"

She asked tentatively, staring intently into the other person's eyes.

If she hadn't been on guard, she would have already tried to kill him.

"Afraid? Heh, you're not qualified."

I never expected to encounter a fairly pure demonic cultivator in this desolate place; it was quite a pleasant surprise.

"It seems you're also a demonic cultivator. What does 'pure demonic cultivator' mean?"

"Of course, the distinction is based on demonic arts. Blood-devouring and soul-refining are merely methods used by demonic cultivators; enhancing life potential is the fundamental goal."

The cultivation method you practice has a good concept; you haven't become a fool who only knows how to improve his cultivation level but doesn't know how to enhance his life potential.

The gray-robed cultivator's eyes revealed a hint of arrogance. "I'll give you a chance to become my subordinate and rebuild the glory of the Demonic Sect."

Yun Nianrong laughed so hard she almost fell over. "The glory of the Demonic Sect? How come I've never heard of a Demonic Sect?"

"Of course there are demonic sects. Demonic cultivation is also a path to immortality, but most demonic cultivators only know how to plunder and end up as killing machines."

"If the Demonic Sect exists, why is there no trace of it in the cultivation world now?"

"because."

Yun Nianrong suddenly erupted, and the nine demonic heads enveloped in blue flames soared into the sky, unleashing an endless river of blood that cascaded down like a waterfall from the heavens.

She didn't trust the other party, so she launched a full-scale attack to test their mettle.

If you can win, kill the enemy and use them as provisions; if the enemy is strong, take the opportunity to escape.

A charming smile appeared on the gray-robed monk's lips, and boundless black clouds surged forth from his body.

Night fell early.

Yun Nianrong's face turned deathly pale. She felt the pressure of a Golden Core level demonic cultivator, who was at least at the late Golden Core stage!
By the time I finished browsing through all the shops on Qinglong Street, the sun was already setting.

The sky was ablaze with crimson clouds, resembling a giant centipede.

Ji An rented a cave dwelling, which, coincidentally, was the same one he had stayed in last time.

"Fate is truly wonderful."

He muttered something to himself, stepped into the cave, searched it thoroughly, and summoned the Golden Fur and the Golden-feathered Eagle.

He let Dahuang roam freely on Chiyan Peak because, according to Senior Sister He Yuhan from Yunhe Mountain, raising it in a place rich in spiritual energy for a few years would help it break through its limits.

He has entrusted his senior brother Jia Yu to regularly transport meat from the Chaoyuan stage beasts to feed the animals and to handle the logistical work.

Once he returned to the sect, he set about refining pills to help his beast tamers break through to the next level.

"You two keep watch!"

As he spoke, he tossed out two Spirit-Feeding Pills.

The golden retriever swallowed the pill, squeaking!

The golden eagle also let out a clear cry, its golden crest feathers standing on end and shaking incessantly.

Ji An nodded gently, walked into the quiet room, and then focused his mind on his dantian to connect with the stone tortoise.

"Enter the world of gourds."

He still lacks the ability to enter the small world on his own and must rely on the stone turtle's help. As the command was given, the figures in the room disappeared, leaving only the shimmering gourd-shaped stone floating in the air.

The patterns on the stone surface seemed to come alive, and the rock walls of the cave reflected patterns of the sun, moon, stars, flowers, birds, insects, and fish.

Ji An's feet touched the yellow earth, and the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner flew out immediately, soaring above the Gathering Yuan Tree.

The artifact gained unexpected benefits from the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, making its spirit more active, and he could even feel that the artifact's power had also increased.

Ji An subconsciously looked around. The Night Tree was now over four feet tall, as thick as a forearm, with palm-shaped purple leaves.

After more than two years of cultivation, this spirit tree is now at the first-grade superior level, which is better than expected. He remembered that it took more than ten long years to cultivate the Soul Nourishing Wood to the superior level.

To the right of the Night Tree are two Moonlit Jade Trees, currently at the first-tier superior level. Behind them is the Cloud Peak Jade Tree, which has already reached the top-tier level. This rate of improvement is also quite good.

To the right of the Azure Jade Tree is the Soul Nourishing Tree, with black leaves like ink jade and faint white patterns on its trunk. It is currently a mid-grade first-tier tree.

Ji An knew very well that the Juyuan Tree had contributed the most to the fact that the tree had been cultivated to this level in just one year.

The functions of this spiritual root of heaven and earth need to be further explored. He collected many fallen leaves from the spiritual tree and stored them in a jade box, intending to study them slowly in the future to see what their effects were.

The most important thing right now is to break through to the Golden Core stage; I can't afford to be distracted by anything else.

With improved cultivation, one should have more opportunities to study the spiritual roots of heaven and earth. A significant advancement in one's cultivation realm will at least greatly increase the strength of one's soul.

Ji An's gaze continued to move, and when it swept over the insect tower, it suddenly stopped. He saw that the tallest insect tower was covered with thumb-sized yellow jade shells, which looked like silkworm cocoons.

"what's the situation?"

He strode over, peered into a jade shell, and sensed it for a moment. His eyebrows twitched involuntarily; a life inside was undergoing a transformation!

The Soul-Eating Insects have this skill?!
Ji Andun was pleasantly surprised. He could sense that the life essence of the spirit insect had improved compared to before, which was a good sign.

The Soul-Eating Insects are a very important part of this world. They can produce spiritual items to cultivate the spirit fields and provide food for fish and fire crystal ants.

Next, we'll see what these spirit insects will transform into.

Ji An strolled forward. The Earth Spirit Fruit Tree here was currently at the second-tier low-grade level and was bearing fruit.

Based on experience, it should be fully ripe in six months, and this time should be shortened, since the Earth Spirit Fruit Tree here is a neighbor of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Root.

He drove all the spirit insects out of an insect tower, then smashed the tower and scattered the powder onto the ground.

He activated the Yellow Dragon Enhancing Yuan Technique, and before the spell's spiritual light dissipated, crimson spiritual clouds rose beneath his feet, allowing him to fly above the planted pearl blood rice.

The area planted with spirit rice here has now reached six acres. There are two special storage bags in the warehouse, each of which can hold about 30,000 catties.

It will take a lot more effort to fill these two storage bags.

This spirit field is the only area in the small world that is fully utilized, with all kinds of spirit trees, fire corals and pearl blood rice. Every inch of usable land is being used.

Ji An found a corner and took out the seeds of the Fire Immortal Apricot.

He activated the Azure Dragon Awakening Technique, and a miniature azure dragon, about an inch long, hovered above the seed. Emerald light spots fell, drawn into the seed by an inexplicable force.

This is to nourish the spirit seed with the spiritual power of the wood element, hoping to alleviate its congenital deficiencies.

Ji An didn't know how much of a role he could play; he could only say it was better than nothing.

If there are several seeds in similar condition, he is confident that he can make up for the congenital deficiency by plundering the vitality of other seeds to nourish one seed, which is the most effective way.

The Azure Dragon slowly dissipated, the spell's effect wore off, and Ji An cast the Azure Dragon Awakening Technique again.

He repeated this process several times until the seed stopped consuming the wood elemental energy, at which point he finally stopped.

After planting the spirit seeds, Ji An unleashed the Cloud Dragon Rainmaking Technique.

Dark clouds quickly gathered, with flashes of bright white lightning flickering within them, and a gentle rain poured down, filling the air with a moistening atmosphere.

Water vapor rose up and quickly dissipated after the rain stopped. The apricot seedlings, about the thickness of a little finger, were about six inches long, with leaves as red as fire.

With another high-level spiritual plant added to his small world, Ji An was overjoyed, knowing that he would be able to enjoy spiritual apricots in just a few years.

He activated the Zhurong Divine Fire Incantation, and crimson flames rose from the ground, while the phantom of the Fire God appeared in the sky. Ji An then rode away on a cloud.

Since the Ding Fire Dao Seed reached the superior grade, this spell has undergone subtle changes and become more spiritual.

He arrived at the area of ​​the white spiritual field and activated the Yellow Dragon Enhancing Yuan Technique, where copper-patterned mulberry and iron wire grass were planted.

To be honest, he was not satisfied with either of these two spiritual plants, but the metal element spiritual plants were the rarest spiritual trees in the cultivation world, so he had no other choice but to select them.

He then cast spells on the black and cyan areas in turn before leaving the small world.

Ji An carefully placed the gourd-shaped stone close to his body, then sat cross-legged on the futon and began practicing the Five Elements Revolving Scripture.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Ji An woke up from his sleep, left his cave and continued to explore the immortal city, hoping to buy some talisman materials.

You can't buy animal hides at the Golden Core level, but you can buy a lot of second-tier resources.

Half a month passed, and Ji An had explored the entire Immortal City. However, his good luck had run out, and he did not gain any more surprises. But he did learn about a spiritual domain that seemed to be nurturing the five elements.

　There will be one more update, but I won't be able to finish writing it before midnight, so it won't be available at the same time.
