Mortal Transformation into Immortal

"We need to find a place to hide quickly, or we'll be caught sooner or later."

Yu Ling quickly thought to herself that the pig demon was only fifty feet away from her. At such a fast speed, it could catch up with her very soon. Once it got close, without the cover of various plants, it would have no chance to hide.

There's no running, only hiding. The place inside is so small, there's nowhere to run. In this environment, if we use the Black Tail Technique and the spirituality of the insects inside our bodies to hide, we might still have a sliver of hope.

The aura emanating from it would have made the two cultivators who had been chasing him flee immediately.

Trying to confront them head-on is tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock.

"Why isn't that guy using any talismans? Does he think he can outrun the pig demon on foot?"

Everyone watched as Yu Ling's figure darted through the woods.

There's a crack there.

Yu Ling ran into a wide ditch, saw a narrow crevice in the ground ahead, immediately flipped over and rolled down, using all her strength to hide herself with her Black Needle Technique.

The crevice was ten feet deep, and after he fell to the bottom, he immediately stopped moving.

The boar demon quickly chased the prey into the ravine, but there was no sign of it. Its eyes scanned the surroundings, but it found no trace of the aura of a celestial cultivator.

"roar!"

The pig demon roared angrily.

That faint aura of immortality vanished into thin air.

What demonic beasts are most sensitive to is the immortal aura emanating from the immortal blood of cultivators.

Yu Ling has cultivated the Black-tailed Serpent Technique and has already achieved minor success. The aura emanating from his immortal blood is very similar to that of the Black-tailed Serpent, and the spirituality of his spiritual bones is also different from that of other cultivators. This is why it took so long for the pig demon to sense him after he entered. Other cultivators were sensed by the demon beasts almost the instant they entered.

"It's up there."

The insecticidal aura of the demonic beast permeated the surroundings.

Yu Ling remained motionless in the crevice, holding her breath. The pig demon was not far above, and if she made even the slightest unusual sound, she would be exposed.

Having found nothing, the pig demon left.

"Another one died."

From the tree, the four saw the pig demon return, realizing that the people who had just come in must have been eaten.

"That pig demon is incredibly powerful. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Lin's array plate, we would probably have become food for them as well."

"The pig demon's strength is almost equivalent to that of a cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Refining."

The three of them turned their gaze to the girl in green.

They were able to live entirely because of this girl.

Thanks to this array plate, she was able to shield everyone's aura in time, thus avoiding the monsters' detection.

"We won't be trapped here, will we?"

"It would be great if a master could discover this place."

Looking at the arrogant pig demon, someone said sadly.

The group had been trapped here for over a year, barely clinging to life, with no hope of escaping whatsoever.

I was hoping that a Foundation Establishment cultivator would come in and kill the pig demon in one move.

"Fellow Daoists, don't be discouraged. With no one maintaining this insect hive, the power of those restrictions will gradually weaken, and we will be able to get out sooner or later," the girl said calmly.

"For now, all I can do is wait like this. I hope my old bones can hold on until then." The old woman was quite composed. She was already over seventy years old, and the earth was already up to her chest. She had no regrets about dying here.

"The Five Insect Sect still has so many surviving elders and disciples. Now that the demonic calamity has been quelled, why don't they come back to this insect cave to take a look?" the woman said, puzzled.

This is still sect property, especially since there's a demonic beast kept inside. They should come and take a look.

All that trouble to set up this place was just to raise that pig demon, wasn't it?

"This place is on the outskirts of Five Insect Island, far from the sect's territory, and it's hidden so well. It must be the private property of one of the sect's elders, and no one else knows about it. Since they haven't come for so long, that elder must be dead," the man speculated.

"We're really unlucky. We went through so much trouble to get in, and now we're trapped here and dying without getting anything."

The group chatted idly, their voices heavy with bitterness.

"They should be leaving by now."

From the ravine, he heard that things had returned to calm above and the pig demon had left, but Yu Ling still dared not move.

I don't know if they've gone far, or if it's a trick by the pig demon, hiding in the shadows observing this place, just waiting for me to reveal a flaw.

He remained hidden in the crevice of the rock, using his Black-Tailed Technique to conceal himself.

"What's on that pig demon that it's so attractive to people who weigh things?"

Yu Ling looked at her palm with great surprise.

Jinliang was so frightened by the pig demon that he dared not move, curling up in his palm and remaining motionless.

"I don't know how to leave this place."

Yu Ling sat on the ground, muttering to himself that this insect-raising place was even more despairing than the underground river. In the underground river, one could search one place at a time, but this place was a complete cage, and there was also such a powerful demon beast here. Going out to check the situation was fraught with danger.

"If I master the function of the Black-tailed Sword, I might be able to completely prevent that monster from detecting me," he thought to himself.

To leave this place, we must first find an exit, and the prerequisite for finding an exit is being able to move around in this insect cave.

If one has mastered the Black-Tailed Kung Fu, perhaps it is possible to achieve this.

That way, it will be easier to conceal the aura of immortality on one's body.

In the eyes of demonic beasts, the aura of immortality is like the moon in the night sky.

However, there were only a few spirit stones in the storage bag at the moment, and the spiritual energy in the insect cave was not dense enough to cultivate the technique to perfection.

"What if my body is also covered in insect odor?"

Looking at the various insects crawling in the cracks of the rocks, Yu Ling's heart stirred.

The black stalk can conceal the aura of immortals, and so can the aura of insects.

Moreover, the insect aura would probably be even better concealed in this insect cave, since there are insects and insect aura everywhere.

"That's the only way."

Looking at the insects, Yu Ling's eyes began to change.

He was barely managing to evade the pig demon's senses by fully activating the Black-Tailed Technique, but if he did, he would be unable to move and could only eke out a living hiding in this crevice.

If one uses insect breath to conceal oneself, one's actions will not be restricted.

Since embarking on the path of immortality, he has stopped eating insects, and the insect energy in his body has completely disappeared.

After hiding for a long time and seeing no movement outside, he began to act.

Many snakes and insects roamed in this crevice.

"Let's eat centipedes."

He grabbed a centipede crawling on the stone wall, stuffed it into his mouth, and ate the head, which was the essence of the centipede. Since he had eaten all kinds of insects since he was a child, he did not feel any psychological pressure. It was very normal, just like eating a regular meal.

He chose to eat only centipedes, believing that the insect's essence was purer and had a certain amount of "spiritual" aid, making it even more convincing to the real thing.

The centipedes here are all of the same species, look exactly alike, and are not ordinary creatures. He had never seen them before; they must be some kind of specialty cultivated on Five Insect Island.

The centipede in the crevice finished eating in no time.

He didn't touch the remaining five poisonous creatures, nor did he plan to go out to look for them, because centipedes would occasionally crawl in from outside.

The five poisonous creatures in this insect cave are numerous due to the abundance of food.

The crickets would quietly hide in the crevice, and if one came in from the outside, they would grab it and eat it.

The insecticidal energy within the body begins to accumulate, becoming increasingly concentrated over time, and gradually begins to emanate from within.

Fortunately, the spiritual energy of the weight of the body allowed these insect energies to remain safely within the body. If it were a normal immortal cultivator, the insect energies would be treated as foreign objects and resisted by the immortal blood.
