Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 195 Harvest and the Road Ahead

If there were a way to undo mistakes, [Insect Mother] would never provoke that unlucky [Pure Yangzi] again.

The path of the [Lord of Calamities] is no joke!
Ever since it became involved with that damned "Chunyangzi," its fortunes have plummeted, reaching unbelievable levels of misfortune.

It already possessed the [Time Sequence] ability, had reached the highest level of cultivation, and had a bright future ahead of it, about to embark on the path of the Zerg God Lord.

But it's only been a few years!

It has fallen so low that it was ganged up on by dozens of powerful cultivators.

Searching through the myriad realms and the cultivation histories of countless races and cultivators, its experience of being brutally beaten is truly unprecedented and groundbreaking!

The mother insect, of course, could not survive.

With so many people working together, they cut off all its chances of survival.

Even if it has revealed all its cards, it is completely useless.

The gathering of the insect hive will only make the death of one's own offspring more complete!
Currently, apart from the unhatched insect eggs in the [Insect Nest Universe], all the mobile insect demons have gathered on the [Immortal Qi Mountain].

Under the bombardment of the surrounding cultivators' magical power, more than half of the [Insect Demon] race died in the first wave of impact.

Even the Great Insect Demons of the second rank and above have had their Fate Tablets completely exposed to the enemy's blades, leaving them with no possibility of reincarnation.

Boundless carnage spread across the [Mountain of Immortal Qi], and the [Mother Insect] exhausted all of her [Immortal Qi] in an attempt to break through the enemy's encirclement.

The tacit executioners firmly blocked the [Insect Demon] race's escape route, giving them no chance of survival.

That [Yam] hungry ghost form, devoid of any consciousness, only knowing how to devour and kill, was fiercely attacking the [Insect Nest], wanting to seize the [Life Stele] of the insect race to eat.

The [Insect Mother] is on the verge of collapse under the attack from both inside and outside!

His offspring perished like an avalanche, his future was as bleak as an abyss, and a surge of resentment within him had nowhere to go. All his hatred turned into a curse that left him with unresolved grievances.

Its life has entered its final countdown.

……

As the mastermind behind the death of the [Insect Mother], Jing Qian was not entirely unaware of the changes on [Immortal Qi Mountain]!
He witnessed firsthand how, under the control of the Insect Mother, the [Insect Nest] gathered billions of insect demons and ascended to the immortal mountain.

The [Insect Nest Universe] he was in was rapidly declining in status after the [Insect Nest] spirit left the realm, sliding from a single universe down to all the heavens.

What supports the cosmic hierarchy is actually that unique [Insect Nest]!
The Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle, the Mountain and River Map, the Treasure Bottle Seal, and even the Insect Nest—all the cosmic realms that Jing Qian had come to know shared similar characteristics.

With a simple summary, he could deduce that at the core of these realms, there must also be a [Spiritual Machine].

However, from this perspective, the vast and boundless universe reveals profound human influence.

What immense power could have forged that [Insect Nest] spirit before us?
This is a high-end, secret place that Jing Qian has never encountered before!

His cultivation level was still low at this time, so he buried these pointless curiosities and focused his attention back on his own cultivation.

At this moment, the great battle has temporarily ended, and [Good Corn] has been freed from the possession state and appeared beside Jing Qian.

Two hundred strands of [Immortal Qi] were completely consumed, making Jing Qian and [Good Corn] definitely top-tier whales when it comes to spending money.

Of course, such a terrifying expenditure yielded extremely impressive results!
Before him lay a mountain of insect demon corpses, the magical power and matter contained within them enough to make up for the depletion of his [Immortal Qi].

Jing Qian finally embarked on a cultivation path similar to that of his predecessor, Chunyangzi.

He conquers and destroys realms, commits acts of slaughter, becomes the master of calamities, accumulates massive resources, and then uses them to replenish his own cultivation.

Compared to his predecessor, Chunyangzi, Jingqian has a greater advantage!
The cultivation system he built could completely surpass the efficiency of all the senior experts in resource utilization, and he had absolute confidence in this.

Before Jing Qian, a new war had fully commenced, with the warring parties being various resources within the [Insect Hive Universe] and the 100,000 garbage collectors he had personally created to handle resource recycling.

He formed a recycling team with three [Life Demons], led by a demon named [Worldly Explainer], who was responsible for classifying and testing the resources.

The laborer, Qingpingmo, is responsible for cutting and dismantling.

The final demonic hand, [Sumeru], is responsible for recycling and storage.

Ninety thousand demons formed thirty thousand squads, sweeping across the entire battlefield like autumn leaves in the wind, never letting go of any recyclable resources.

There are also 10,000 large ghosts, who, based on non-standardized recycling types, such as indivisible super-sized insect demons, rare resources of higher status, and special resources with high pollution and high energy consumption, have formed a more flexible and mobile recycling team.

The work efficiency of 100,000 garbage collectors is, of course, overwhelmingly superior to that of other [Chunyangzi]s!
In just three days, the entire battlefield was dug up and cleaned up completely.

Jing Qian suddenly became incredibly wealthy, acquiring an astonishing amount of resources!

These resources can be used to raise ghosts, refine fire elementals, feed the [Pangu Embryo], and if all else fails, they can be used to enhance the foundation of the [Sumeru] dimension. Not a single bit will be wasted.

His cultivation system is like a fine chemical refining furnace, capable of disassembling and refining any kind of resource.

This decisive battle for resource recycling has only just begun!
Now, the entire [Insect Nest Heaven] is a no-owner land. The resources within the realm are no longer guarded. Jing Qian can take away as much as he can.

After clearing out the most valuable battlefield, the 100,000 garbage collectors scattered like birds and beasts, spreading throughout the entire realm.

They will recycle as many valuable resources as possible and transport them into the [Sumeru] dimension.

Even though the [Insect Nest] fled with billions of insect demons, taking away most of the matter and magic power of this world.

However, the remaining resources, if concentrated on Jing Qian alone, would be quite extravagant.

For anyone else, collecting such scattered resources would be a difficult task.

But Jingqian's "Garbage Collector's War" is just the right time to find gold in the shit!
When the 100,000 garbage collectors move, they will automatically switch to [The Other Shore], which allows them to move at extremely high speed.

They drifted across the entire realm, like pepper powder, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

On the other hand, Jing Qian himself was also busy.

Using his position as the Void Lord, he created an enormous void wormhole. Without any discernment, he simply chose a cutting angle and began to devour the Insect Nest Heaven into the Sumeru dimension.

In a hasty manner, a large number of insect demon eggs were swallowed into the [Sumeru] dimension.

To prevent the insects from becoming rampant and affecting the ecosystem of the entire [Xume] dimension, Jing Qian isolated and stored all the insect nests he had absorbed separately.

Along with this process, a massive amount of living beings and matter began to migrate into the [Sumeru] dimension.

The Insect Demon race is considered a high-ranking bloodline race, possessing extremely high intelligence and cultivation aptitude.

This is the second time Jing Qian has transferred living beings on a large scale into the [Sumeru] dimension.

It is important to know that the beings, primordial energy, and matter in the [Sumeru] dimension represent a direct blessing upon Jing Qian's primordial spirit, magical power, and physical body.

In comparison, the blessing from living beings has a smaller base, resulting in a larger increase in the percentage of blessings received.

He was enjoying the fruits of his labor, his strength growing slowly but steadily.

After he finished setting up the massive void wormhole, he assigned [Good Corn] to guard it, and then he himself flashed off to the center of [Insect Nest Sky].

This place was once the lair of the [Insect Queen]. After the [Insect Nest] ascended, this place became a huge pit connecting to the Earth's core.

After the rock strata fractured, a scene of apocalypse unfolded before them, with magma gushing out from the earth's veins, whipping up towering, toxic flames that boiled and surged.

Jing Qian is carefully searching for a secret place!
This was a treasure trove he had unearthed from the memories of the first-grade [Moon Goddess] within the Life Stele space.

When the Insect Demon race cultivates, they also have to go through the [Star-Picking] realm, entrusting their magic power to the celestial stars, connecting with the [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi], and thus improving the quality of their magic power and refining [Immortal Spiritual Qi].

Therefore, there must be reserves of [Destiny Stars] within this [Insect Nest Heaven].

After Jing Qian left the Fire Source Palace, he absorbed a million Boundless True Fiends and cultivated his Earthly Fiend level magic power to perfection.

For other cultivators, reaching this stage is merely the beginning of their cultivation at the [Earthly Fiend] realm.

After that, it is necessary to continue absorbing [Fire of Evil], refining the rudimentary form of [Immortal Spiritual Energy], and accumulating layers of [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi].

Only after achieving satisfactory results will they consider relying on their "destiny star" to attempt a promotion.

However, Jingqian's path of cultivation is completely different from that of ordinary people.

With the help of the [Sumeru Great Dao Stele], he can absorb the insights of his defeated opponents' [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi] without having to try to cultivate himself.

This allowed him to accumulate a level of [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi] that far exceeded everyone's imagination at his current level.

Condensing [Golden Immortal Spiritual Energy] was a piece of cake for him.

He might even be able to condense his own immortal energy during the "Mending the Heavens" stage!
Therefore, he can initiate the [Star-Picking] advancement at any time without worrying about an unstable foundation.

Right now, the only thing hindering his further advancement is a sufficiently powerful [Destiny Star].

He had originally planned to visit the Star Ranch in the Celestial Empire and try to advance his career by leveraging the resources of the Boundless Celestial Empire.

But right now, we've already offended God Ego terribly!

His original plan has been completely disrupted, and he needs to find a new source of his "Destiny Star".

He placed high hopes on the [Destiny Stars] accumulated within the [Insect Nest Heaven]!
When the insect hive ascends to heaven, it cannot take the stars within its domain with it.

The place where the insects are raising the [Destiny Star] must still be within the realm!
Even though the entire realm had changed drastically, Jing Qian followed the map and searched patiently, eventually succeeding in achieving his goal.

With a flash, he disappeared into the realm.

His figure entered a strange cave.

Similar to [Star Ranch], truly top-tier forces all have their own grottoes where they accumulate [Life Stars], and [Insect Nest] is no exception.

Full of anticipation, Jing Qian entered the [Star Insect Orbit] and immediately began frantically scanning it with the [Eternal Eye of Moment].

But then he realized that his hopes for a good thing were about to fall through.

Within the [Star Insect Orbit] cave, there are indeed [Destiny Stars], however, these insects' cultivation concepts are completely different from those of humans.

The "Destiny Stars" they cultivate are quite different from what humans need.

Along the fixed trajectory within the [Star Insect Orbit], a row of enormous [Destiny Stars] could be seen.

Each one is full of vitality and has a profound foundation.

However, Jing Qian's divine eyes saw it clearly!
These "destiny stars" before us are all alive!
Each [Destiny Star] is an enormous insect egg, inside which a powerful insect is being nurtured.

They have long been deeply integrated with the core of vital energy within the [Destiny Star], and are now inseparable.

Even if Jing Qian forcibly took this "destiny star," it wouldn't be suitable for him.

This is because if he were to kill the insects within the star, it would also destroy the core of the primordial energy within the [Destiny Star].

In this way, the "Destiny Star" becomes useless.

These giant insects, gestating within the [Destiny Star], are called [Star Gods], and from the day they are born, they possess the cultivation level of [Star Picker].

Or rather, only by advancing to the [Star-Picking] level can these insects be worthy of taking human form and becoming a true [Star God].

The Insect Demon race has a unique bloodline, emphasizing that they are born sacred and that bloodline reigns supreme. Unlike humans, they do not have a path of cultivation from the lowest mortal to the highest.

Giant insects capable of reaching the top three ranks are only born within the [Star God].

Jing Qian carefully counted them and found that there were still more than two hundred [Star God] embryos in the process of being conceived.

This is undoubtedly a very important reserve force for the [Insect Queen]!

Jing Qian disliked the fact that these insectoids were wasting precious [Destiny Star] resources.

However, he had to admit that these [Star Gods] were indeed an extremely valuable treasure.

The Insect Demon race reproduces at an extremely fast rate, and the Life Stars accumulated throughout the Insect Nest are naturally consumed at an equally rapid pace.

These two hundred-plus Star Gods made Jing Qian a fortune.

He escaped from the [Star Insect Orbit] and began rapidly transporting this grotto-heaven towards the [Sumeru] dimension.

At the same time, he was silently calculating in his heart where to go next to search for the [Destiny Star].

Once the great battle on the Immortal Qi Mountain ends and the Empress Egao is free to act, if I fail to escape, I'm afraid I'll be severely punished by the Empress.

There's absolutely no way I can stay in this [Bei'e Yinghuang Wuji Tian] anymore!
【Xi Mang Long Tian】is probably not a good place either!
In this "Chaos of Jambudvipa," the losses suffered by the Dragon Clan were no less than those suffered by the "Goddess Ego."

In terms of breath-holding ability, it surpasses even that by several levels.

Jing Qian, this "Yanfuzi," has rashly entered "Ximang Longtian," and he will likely be regarded as a thorn in their side.

Moreover, he himself wasn't particularly interested in [Western Mang Dragon Heaven].

In the demon realm, he had nothing to do but kill.

The [Destiny Stars] accumulated by the demon race may also be unsuitable for human use, just like these [Star Insect Orbits].

His mind was torn between the Eastern Extreme Yu Yu Chang Sheng Tian and the Southern Demonic Tathagata Tian.

On second thought, given the spatial structure of the Dao Yuan Divine Shuttle Universe, if he wanted to go to the Southern Demonic Tathagata Heaven, he would definitely have to take the route through the Eastern Heaven and the Western Heaven.

In this way, the direction he was going was already predetermined!

Take the eastern route, passing through the [Eastern Extreme Yu Yu Chang Sheng Tian], and arrive at the [Southern Demon Yun Ru Lai Tian].

By utilizing the cultivation resources within these two realms, one can advance to the [Star-Picking] level.

Among the four heavens of Daoyuan, the Eastern Heaven is the most prosperous and wealthy, representing the pinnacle of cultivation civilization and far surpassing the Northern Heaven, a divine realm.

The southern region is the most vicious and wicked, with countless unruly people and rampant villains, comparable to northern Myanmar, a world of cultivation. Without considerable strength, one who ventures in will never return.

For Jing Qian, although the two realms were vastly different, both contained cultivation civilizations that were well worth exploring, so he had no need to worry about his cultivation being limited.

He has already begun to look forward to his new spiritual practice in the future!
However, the top priority right now is to get through the "Jambudvipa Rebellion" safely as soon as possible!
Just as he was clearing out and seizing resources from the [Insect Nest], the earth-shattering battle on [Immortal Qi Mountain] gradually became clear.

[Eyeless] was the first to separate the [Beast Body] from the [Immortal Qi Mountain], making him the first being to seal the [Yanfu] incarnation.

Following him, the Heavenly Demon Palace and the Ghost Seer reached a friendly consensus and divided up the Hell Body.

Even if you're "sick," following behind "seeing ghosts" to drink soup can get you some valuable resources.

[Ghost Hair] forced the dragons to do hard labor, almost draining the [celestial energy] of the [heavenly dragons] and the [emotional dragons] before finally sealing the [Great Asura Body].

Then, with satisfaction, he commanded the six heads that had been escorting the perfectly sealed Great Asura Body from the First Grade [Void Mother Tree] down to the mortal realm from the [Immortal Qi Mountain] to the true hiding place of [Ghost Hair].

The three strongest [Yanfuzi] have all achieved their wishes and can continue on their path of cultivation.

Although [Goddess Ego] was fighting two against one, she was in no way inferior to them.

She also successfully suppressed both the Celestial Body and the Human Body, dragging them down from the Immortal Qi Mountain and bringing them to the Heavenly Capital Star for an attempt to suppress them.

Meanwhile, [Goddess Ego], [Heavenly Dragon Ancestor], and [Heavenly Demon Palace] were all doing their best to conceal the location of their [Life Stele] amidst the great battle.

This time, the dimensional coordinates where they were originally hiding were exposed and spied on by many powerful cultivators.

If they cannot complete the concealment as soon as possible, they may attract even more trouble.

Of the five battlefields, four were considered to have been terminated and withdrawn from prematurely.

Only the most eye-catching [Mother Insect] was left, positioned at the very front as a live target.

Having been brutally attacked by more than forty powerful cultivators, the [Insect Mother] was already severely injured.

This supreme insect demon, a first-rank being who roamed the void, conquered countless realms surrounding the [Insect Demon Universe], and was considered unparalleled and invincible.

It couldn't understand how it had fallen to such a state, surrounded and attacked by everyone, where it couldn't even save its own life.

It really didn't do anything!
He simply stayed at home, eating hotpot and singing songs, when the old [Yanfu] incarnation descended from the sky and landed at the location of his [Life Stele].

If it were just a matter of dealing with this [Yambhava] incarnation, it wouldn't be in such a terrible state.

But now he has become the target of everyone's hatred and is about to be devoured, and there is no way to escape it.

The [Insect Queen] was filled with malice and longed to rush into the enemy ranks and wreak havoc.

However, the cunning old foxes around him were all incredibly slippery, giving him absolutely no chance.
During this process, the [Mother Insect] was gradually worn down and eventually perished!
But its demise is not a big deal!

An unclaimed [Timeline] quietly appeared on the battlefield, about to vanish in a flash and return to the [Clock of Time].

This is the core of the struggle among these powerful cultivators!
All of you are at least first-rank beings. Whoever obtains this [Time Sequence] will immediately experience a qualitative change in your cultivation and a leap forward in your path.

As a result, this battlefield became ten times, a hundred times, more chaotic!

Of the more than forty cultivators, at least 70% participated in the struggle for the [Time Sequence].

In an instant, the battlefield was so chaotic that it was impossible to distinguish friend from foe!
Besides those competing for the [Time Sequence], several other highly skilled cultivators had their eyes on other things.

Five people made a move, attempting to seize the [Insect Nest] Spiritual Power!
This treasure was capable of supporting the upgrading of a realm to a universe, and its power was originally extremely strong, but unfortunately it had already been perfectly refined by the [Insect Mother].

With the fall of the [Insect Mother], this [Spiritual Mechanism] will also suffer a great loss of its divine power, no longer deserving of its former status.

Even so, it is still priceless and worth fighting for.

Meanwhile, seven others launched a full-scale attack on the [Yanfu] Hungry Ghost Body, attempting to combine their strength to destroy the [Hungry Ghost Body] and share in its Daoist essence.

The incarnation of the Dao Ancestor is not easy to deal with, and digesting it is even more difficult.

Without the secret methods passed down from the [Yanfu Dao], it is extremely difficult to perfectly refine the [Dao Ancestor] incarnation.

Therefore, that celestial being wandered on the Immortal Qi Mountain for so many years without any supervision or attention.

In the current situation, with so many powerful figures gathered together, they can easily form a united force and share the risks, so there is no need to worry about others plotting against them behind their backs for the time being.

This is arguably the best time to subdue the [hungry ghost body]!

Many cultivators who have little need for [Time Sequence], or who believe they cannot compete with others in terms of cultivation level, take this as their goal.

Even with the combined strength of many, the [Hungry Ghost Body] could not escape the fate of being suppressed.

The chaotic battle kept everyone watching from the Immortal Qi Mountain on their toes.

……

【God of the Nile】returned victorious, carrying two incredibly powerful spoils of war.

But in front of her was a scene of utter devastation in the Tower District.

The number of Towers of Babel has decreased by more than a third, and a corner of the entire Saha Divine Court has been forcibly cut off.

Many of the [spirit officials] escaped, but the most loyal [Duke of Dingguo] was killed and perished abroad.

More importantly, the Silver Ring Palace collapsed, and all the candles and the Divine Rank of Bodhi stored inside were lost.

The five empress incarnations, though still appearing calm and collected, were clearly seething with anger.

Suddenly, [Earth Element] waved his hand, and a violent earthquake immediately struck the entire [Tower Area]!
Under the Empress's control, that [Possa Divine Court] was successfully raised into the sky.

Upon closer inspection, the entire divine court was found to be horizontally split in the middle, completely divided in two.

Between the two levels of the divine court lies the treasure that [God Ego] truly values.

What has ended up here is an extremely precious treasure, even to the Empress.

The unique object that was transported from Tuotuo Mountain, known as the "Human Appearance," exists within it.

The Empress casually placed the perfectly sealed Celestial Body and Human Body here, and then placed the Saha Divine Court down securely, suppressing the two Dao Ancestor incarnations.

Subsequently, the Five Emperors were completely freed from their constraints and began to take action!

The five emperors combined their power and once again unleashed the [Five Emperors Divine Light], which slammed heavily into the center of the [Bodhisattva Divine Court].

Suddenly, the entire Tower District was gripped by a violent earthquake, with many towers shaking so badly they were on the verge of collapse.

Looking at that beam of [Five Emperors Divine Light] again, it actually blasted into a spatial gate, forcefully crashing into the [Insect Nest Universe].

This insectoid realm is inherently closely connected to the [Possa Divine Court].

When the Empress uses the Divine Court to make her move, she can easily reach her target.

Before today, although [Goddess Ego] was powerful and could overpower [Mother Insect], the difference between the two was not so significant.

Therefore, the Wuji Celestial Empire and the Insect Demon Universe have always been in a long-term strategic stalemate.

From this day forward, with the unexpected fall of the [Mother Insect], the first thing [God of the Nether] will do after escaping is to retrieve the remains of the [Insect Nest Universe].

When the Five Emperors' Divine Light burst out of the spatial gate and landed at the core of the Insect Nest Universe, the surrounding area was already empty and devoid of any signs of life.

The Five Emperors' Divine Light can sweep away anything. When its power was fully unleashed, this [Insect Nest Heaven], which had already fallen to the level of the Heavens, was actually forcibly swept into the divine light!

Subsequently, the divine light, carrying the suppressed realm, passed through the spatial gate once again and returned to the [Tower District].

The Five Emperors' Divine Light collapsed!
That enormous domain, about to expand outwards, crashed forcefully into the [Tower Zone].

The Empress [Earth Phase] has made her move again!

She used her immense power to traverse the entire [Insect Nest Heaven], displaying unparalleled might, and madly compressed this celestial realm until it was reduced to the size of a planet.

This large star appears identical to the twelve large stars that orbit the Tower District.

Immediately, the Empress raised her hand and sent the large star formed from the [Insect Nest Heaven] into the formation, where it began to rotate in an orderly fashion along with the other twelve large stars.

【Goddess Egao】is invincible in divine might, and even a colossal realm can be manipulated at will.

However, Jing Qian, who should have been in the [Insect Nest Heaven] and in charge of the garbage recycling operation, has completely disappeared without a trace!
