Mortal Transformation into Immortal

Yu Ling climbed back to the top of the tree.

This demonic beast was clearly looking for the old man; the physical body of a cultivator was far too attractive to a demonic beast.

Because it has no complicated medicinal properties, it is even more nourishing than a panacea.

seaside.

After popping a pill into his mouth, the old man walked into the island.

Ironbeak could only watch helplessly as he sailed away.

"not good."

As soon as he stepped into the forest, a large mouth full of sharp teeth came at him and bit him.

The old man was terrified and immediately retreated.

At the same time, activate defensive spells.

"Click!"

With a sharp crack, the defensive barrier was shattered by the sharp teeth.

A long tongue shot out from the monster's mouth, instantly piercing the old man's chest.

"No!"

The old man looked at the reopened gaping maw and let out a desperate cry.

With a hole pierced through his chest, he had no strength left to dodge and could only watch helplessly as the monster swallowed him whole.

After finishing the old man's meal, the centipede monster turned its gaze to the iron-bearded fish in the sea, clearly intending to go down and fight it.

Seeing how fierce it was, the demon turned and disappeared into the sea.

The centipede also returned to the forest.

"So strong."

Up in the tree, Yu Ling silently swallowed her saliva.

What was expected to be a major battle turned into a horrific defeat in just two breaths when the old man was killed.

Although it was a sneak attack, being able to shatter the old man's magical defense with a single bite was already incredibly powerful.

"Judging from the old man's magical power fluctuations, he is at the seventh level of Qi Refining. This centipede monster should be a top-tier first-order high-level monster."

Having witnessed the terrifying power of the monster, Yu Ling didn't dare to move an inch on the tree, afraid of being noticed.

This island is only four miles long and wide, and there aren't many ordinary animals, yet there are demonic beasts here, and such powerful ones at that.

"In this sea area, no matter where you go, you must be extremely careful."

Yu Ling silently warned himself.

Fortunately, he hadn't made any noise or revealed his presence along the way, otherwise he would have ended up like that old man, becoming food for monsters as soon as he arrived at the Boundless Sea.

"The monster is back."

Yu Ling noticed that the centipede was in the woods ahead, walking back, seemingly heading back to its lair.

Yu Ling stared intently at it from the tree.

Its enormous size was clearly visible from the tree.

Finally, he saw the centipede crawl up the cliff face ahead and burrow under the thick moss.

It was as if nothing had happened.

"This monster probably wouldn't have even digested the old man's clothes, magical artifacts, and storage bag, would it?"

Looking at the centipede's hiding place, Yu Ling began to ponder.

The old man was swallowed whole, along with his belongings. This monster could only digest his flesh and bones; it couldn't digest other things, which were expelled later.

This is how cultivators often find various opportunities in the wild.

"Since that's the case, then let's wait here for a while." With that thought, Yu Ling suddenly decided not to leave.

Although there might be some danger, the things on the old man were too tempting. Putting aside everything else, the storage bag alone was enough to make his heart flutter.

Yu Ling planned to wait here for a while. If he could really get those things, he could save himself two or three years of hard work.

"Hopefully it won't move to another island."

This was Yu Ling's biggest worry. Such a small island was not enough to support the survival of that monster. Monsters of this level usually lived like rogue cultivators, exploring and hunting everywhere.

If the centipede monster wanted to leave, he dared not chase after it and could only watch it go.

Yu Ling sat motionless on the tree.

Just wait like this.

I wonder how long it will take that centipede to digest.

Night fell.

The sky was cloudless, and the bright moonlight shone on the island.

Yu Ling sat with her back against the tree trunk, looking up at the moon, feeling the cool sea breeze on her body.

The island was filled with the chirping of insects at night.

As the wind blew, the sky gradually brightened again.

Yu Ling stared at the spot where the centipede was hiding, but there was no movement.

......

"A cultivator has arrived."

half a month later.

Yu Ling noticed four rogue cultivators emerging from a water-going boat on the distant beach.

"Hopefully we won't alert that monster."

Some worries arose in his heart.

They were afraid that these people would disturb the monster and cause it to run away.

They were also afraid that these people were too powerful and would discover the monster, kill it, and thus steal their opportunity.

Yu Ling stared at them with a solemn expression.

The group packed up their watercraft and began searching the island.

Because they were far away, they couldn't be seen after entering the forest, and Yu Ling could only hope in his heart that they wouldn't ruin his good deed.

Fifteen minutes later.

Several people appeared on the ground near him.

Their presence was concealed.

In the end, they actually arrived at that cliff.

Yu Ling clenched her fists secretly, feeling a surge of tension.

Whether the centipedes didn't sense it or didn't want to pay attention to them, they remained silent.

Fortunately, they escaped unharmed. After searching the island for half an hour, the group left, not knowing if they had found anything.

Yu Ling watched them leave, and the weight that had been hanging over her heart finally lifted.

He continued to wait.

......

"Could that monster have already left while I wasn't paying attention?"

A month later.

Looking at the motionless cliff face, Yu Ling felt a sense of doubt rising in her heart.

So much time has passed, and the monster still hasn't come out.

He couldn't sit still any longer.

They worried that perhaps the monster had already left the island under cover of darkness on some stormy night.

The weather at sea is unpredictable; sometimes it rains heavily at night, and visibility is very low. He was afraid that the monster had already quietly left in this kind of weather.

If they really leave, I'll be foolishly waiting here.

If you still have time left, and then give up halfway through, you'll have wasted so much time.

"I'll wait another month. If I still haven't come out, I'll leave," Yu Ling thought to herself.

We can't keep dwelling on this. Let's wait another month and see. If there's still no progress by then, we should leave decisively and not let this delay our spiritual practice.

Another half month passed in this way.

"They're out."

early morning.

Yu Ling suddenly noticed that the moss had moved.

Then a huge centipede emerged from it and slowly circled around in the woods.

Yu Ling concealed her aura to the extreme, her eyes fixed intently on it.

"Are we leaving this island?"

Yu Ling noticed that the monster was starting to crawl towards the sea.

There seems to be no indication that the body is expelling undigested substances.

Seeing where it went, Yu Ling felt a pang of disappointment.

Sure enough, the centipede came to the seashore, plunged into the sea, and disappeared.

"Ugh."

Seeing it leave just like that, Yu Ling sighed deeply in helplessness.

Sitting on a tree branch, gazing at the sky, I gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"It's okay, it's only been two months."

He patted the dust off his clothes and consoled himself.

He then jumped down from the tree.

"Let's go check out its den."

Yu Ling did not leave just like that. Instead, she went to the place where the monster was hiding, still hoping that the monster might have laid eggs in its den.
