The God of Heavens

Chapter 413 Mistakenly Entering the Demonic Path
Zhen Dan Kingdom, Cang Mang Prefecture, Mo Yun Mountain.

This is a massive mountain range, stretching for countless miles, its depths unfathomable.

The older generation in the village once said that there were fairies flying in the clouds and mist in the mountains, and some even said they had seen it with their own eyes.

As to whether it is true or not, no one knows.

The autumn sun shines like scattered gold across the valley, casting dappled patterns on the leaves of the trees in the forest.

The two huts were connected, and wisps of smoke rose from outside the huts.

Cangfeng Ridge stretches for thousands of miles, its forests teeming with wild produce, sustaining countless hunters at its foot.

Suddenly, an uncontrollable shout of ecstasy rang out: "We've found it! We've found the 'King of Blood Ginseng'!"

"Ah Yu, you've got it! This is a rare blood ginseng king, one in a hundred years... one root can fetch at least several hundred taels of silver in a pharmacy!"

A scarred man, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, wearing an animal skin, with a crooked face and protruding teeth, stared greedily at a ginseng root covered in wet mud, while also stealing glances at the handsome young man who was tidying up his medicine basket. The wood-chopping knife at his waist had somehow slipped into his palm.

"What?"

Lin Yu suddenly snapped back to reality, as if he had just woken from a long, dreamlike state.

Immediately, he caught sight of a scarred, ugly man gripping a wood-chopping knife, staring at him with a sinister look and a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

However, this body was exceptionally thin and weak, lacking much strength.

Without a second thought, he flipped to the side and elbowed her from behind! — A heart-piercing elbow!

The blow was fierce and heavy, but the ugly man was completely unprepared. He was hit hard in the chest by the elbow, his arms curled up in pain, his body hunched over, and cold sweat was about to seep out.

Lin Fu's left hand, like an eagle's claw, reached out and precisely gripped the slanted-eyed man's throat.

click!
The sensation of crushing cartilage and muscle spread through my fingers, accompanied by warmth.

The scarred man lay on the ground convulsing, his neck twisted: "You little bastard...you..."

Lin Yu picked up the wood-chopping knife that the scarred man had dropped on the ground without expression. The knife had a hardwood handle and a cast iron blade with many chipped edges.

"Money can move people's hearts; does one need a reason to kill someone on the brink of life and death?"

He looked at the scarred man, pointed the knife at his neck, and slashed down hard.

puff!

Blood splattered from the scarred man's neck, he twitched a few times, and finally fell silent.

After doing all this, Lin Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling utterly exhausted. It seemed that those three moves had used up all his strength. He couldn't help but smile wryly: "My lord... you're too much of a jerk! You're treating me like a Japanese!"

He closed his eyes and meditated, and the memories of this body surged forth like a tide...

Fifteen years ago, Lin Yu's original body separated a particle through the Great Array of Reincarnation in the Book of the Earthly Emperor, reincarnated, and was reborn as a human, but seemed to encounter a mystery in the womb.

Just now, as if from a dream, I finally regained all my memories!

The original reincarnation array broke through space and time, sending him to this country called Zhen Dan. However, his luck seems to have run out. Not long ago, his village was attacked by an abyssal blood wolf.

This monster has an extremely powerful body; its teeth can crush granite, and when it eats people, it even chews bones into powder and swallows them whole.

Moreover, it is as fast as lightning, extremely cunning, and adept at stealth and ambush. If it reaches the ground, it can bite an entire village to death. Even experts at the Divine Power Realm will be bitten to death if they are not on guard.

In many dynasties, an entire village was wiped out by a single blood wolf.

His parents died protecting him, but fortunately, at the critical moment, a "celestial being" descended and killed the Blood Wolf, saving his life.

However, he lost his protection as a result, and after burying his parents, he had to make a living on his own.

In the past few days, Lin Yu was persuaded by a fellow villager named Scarface Li to go into the mountains to search for medicinal herbs. The two of them were lucky enough to find a Crimson Blood Ginseng King, which led to the scene described earlier.

Of course, in the end, Lin Yu was the better player.

"This body's physical attributes are really weak..."

Lin Yu looked at the corpse of Scarface Li at his feet, and then thought of himself. He was practically defenseless, and he had almost exhausted all his innate energy.

"However, this is not a problem for me."

He played with the Blood Ginseng King in his hand; its color was vibrant, and it contained extremely rich essence.

It is conceivable that after ordinary people take it, they can treat physical weakness, replenish deficient qi and blood, and it is also a good material for refining many elixirs.

He casually searched Scarface Li's body, found about five taels of silver, then picked up the body, found a deep valley, and threw it in.

In these vast mountains and boundless forests, it's perfectly normal for one or two people to die.

Lin Yu found a secluded cave, moved a stone to seal the door, sat cross-legged, and began to practice the Zhou Tian breathing technique, drawing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish his deficiencies.

When thirsty, drink some spring water; when hungry, gnaw on a blood ginseng.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed. The once skinny boy has transformed, now standing tall and straight, with eyes as black as lacquer and a rosy complexion, completely different from before.

Anyone who came would find it hard to reconcile themselves with the farm boy they once knew.

"That's about enough. We've finished the blood ginseng. It's time to head down the mountain."

Lin Yu clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him, and made up his mind.

After all, the main body sent him here not for a vacation; Su Xiuyi of the Yellow Spring Demon Sect is still eyeing him covetously!

The first priority is to go to the prefectural city to seek opportunities and improve one's own strength.

As for returning to the village, there is absolutely no need.

……

Walking along the official road through the mountains, the mountains are high and the ridges are deep, and the surrounding trees are very dense.

Even though it is late autumn and the chill is rising, the mountains and forests are not desolate at this time, but rather full of vitality. Looking around, the grass and trees are still lush and green.

The sounds of birdsong and animal roars rose and fell, creating a vibrant atmosphere. Lin Yu strolled among them, breathing in the earthy fragrance of the air, finding a rare moment of relaxation.

However, Cangmang Prefecture is mountainous with few plains, so there are many wild animals in the mountains, and in previous years there have been frequent reports of monsters coming down from the mountains to harm people.

My village was caught in the crossfire. After walking along the main road for an hour, suddenly, the surroundings became eerily silent, with no more animal cries or bird calls.

"Wait, something's wrong."

Lin Yu began to feel wary.

Especially when he saw the mangled corpse by the roadside, it fueled his suspicions.

“Ah…ah…”

As he walked, a tremendous danger struck Lin Yu's mind. Suddenly, a blood-red shadow flashed through the lush forest ahead, its ferocious aura suffocating. Within the blood-red shadow, gleaming white teeth bit towards his throat.

Boom!
Lin Yu remained expressionless, drawing on his experience dealing with the Black Emperor, and delivered a powerful punch to Blood Shadow's forehead.

Wow!
Blood Shadow let out a shrill scream as he was slammed to the ground by the powerful fist.

It rolled twice on the ground, revealing its true form: a wolf with blood-red, shiny fur, like flames.

Its teeth, in particular, are deeply exposed, as long as fingers, and so sharp that they can easily bite off stones.

"It really is an Abyss Blood Wolf."

Upon seeing this, Lin Yu recognized what kind of ferocious monster it was.

"Could there be a deep abyss rift nearby?"

After all, the Abyss Blood Wolf is a species that generally only exists in the deep underground world, and it is difficult for it to come out unless a rift appears.

He casually broke off a branch, gently flicked it, and with a little force, a blood crystal the size of a thumb was picked out from the top of the blood wolf's skull.

Lin Yu played with the blood-red crystal, its texture warm and smooth, like warm jade, before casually tossing it into his mouth.

"Great, it tastes like chicken, and it's crunchy!"

He nodded and gave his assessment.

"Hehe, I never expected that a mortal like you could actually swallow the crystal of the Abyss Blood Wolf whole. Is it some kind of peculiar physique?"

Just then, a crimson light descended from the sky, its crimson glow shimmering, and a graceful figure slowly emerged in the void.

The woman wore a bright red robe with delicate golden phoenixes embroidered on the hem. As she moved, she seemed to be ablaze with fire, radiant and flamboyant.

Her hair was as black as clouds, casually tied up with a red jade hairpin, with a few strands falling loose, making her face look like a rosy cloud, and her eyes like stars, sparkling with brilliance as she looked around, both heroic and charming.

Her voice was soft and charming when she opened her mouth, yet every word she uttered was like frost, creating a stark contrast.

"A secret realm of supernatural powers?"

Lin Yu was greatly shocked. He never expected to encounter such a master while walking on the street.

What is the Mystic Realm of Supernatural Powers?
When the physical body is cultivated to its peak and one possesses a powerful physique, the heart can then supply the brain with a large amount of nutrients.

Nourished by these nutrients, the brain's potential will gradually be unlocked.

Then, through special cultivation methods, this potential will be transformed into a mysterious magical power.

Once one possesses mysterious magical power, one can manipulate thunder and fire, levitate, and kill with a sword.
In secular dynasties, they would be considered divine figures.

It should be noted that there are ten levels of physical cultivation.

The ten levels are: first, health preservation; second, strength training; third, techniques; fourth, hardness and softness; fifth, divine power; sixth, breath control; seventh, internal strengthening; eighth, divine courage; ninth, spiritual connection; and tenth, divine transformation.

As long as you maintain your health properly, you are still a physical body.

After half a month of recuperation, Lin Yu's strength has only reached around the second level of Qi Refining.

With such strength, killing a Blood Wolf with the power of a fifth-level Divine Realm would be a piece of cake, but it would be insufficient against a Mystic Realm expert.

However, the mysterious woman did not seem to have any intention of harming him.

Lin Yu's mind raced, and he immediately bowed respectfully: "Immortal, you touched my head and granted me immortality. I am Lin Yu, and I humbly request the immortal to guide me on the path to immortality. I am willing to serve you by your side to repay your great kindness."

Since he himself was not capable of doing anything, he could only rely on himself. Since this mysterious woman in front of him seemed quite interested in him, he had to hold on tight.

"Lin Yu? Your physique is quite good, I might give you a chance."

The woman in blood-stained clothes chuckled softly and flicked her fingertips.

"This is my Blood Shadow Demon Sect's assessment token. It can guide you to a deep abyss rift. If you can break through to the Divine Power Realm, the token will naturally lead you into the sect."

A blood-red token shot out and hovered in front of Lin Yu. The two characters "Blood Shadow" were as red as blood, exuding a murderous intent.

When Lin Yu came to his senses...

That red figure has vanished like morning mist, leaving only a lingering fragrance, like sweet dew.

"I never expected to run into an elder of the Blood Shadow Demon Sect."

Lin Yu examined the token in his hand, lost in thought.

This sect is said to have been founded by a disciple of the Chaotic Heavenly Lord in the Xuanhuang Great World who inherited a portion of the Great Blood Soul Technique.

It is also one of the seven largest sects of the demonic path in the Xuanhuang Great World.

Among them, the Blood Shadow Emperor roamed the world, and the elders and supreme elders dominated their respective regions.

This world is full of people obsessed with demons. The immortals are not human, but they are somewhat restrained. The demons are even more ferocious, often slaughtering cities and destroying countries, extracting souls and refining spirits, and are extremely cruel.

Often, in order to forge a single Dao artifact, they would massacre an entire planet, killing billions of people.

Of course, neither of these is easy to get into.

It is important to understand that many martial arts masters have devoted their entire lives to seeking immortality, yet have failed to find the path to immortality. The divide between the mortal and the immortal is like an insurmountable barrier.

The Immortal Path recruits disciples primarily from nobles and royal family members, except when sect elders go out to search for them. Others have no right to come into contact with the Immortal Path.

Given Lin Yu's status, the demonic path is not a bad option.
