From Mortal Body to Immortality

The figure that appeared was extremely similar to a human, except that its head had evolved into a ferocious-looking insect.

A human body, but with the head of a bizarre insect beast.

The entire figure hovered in mid-air, clad in white robes, with a howling wind all around, causing the white robes to flutter.

It gave off an extremely discordant feeling.

“The insect egg has shattered, replacing the person's will, and it's no longer concealing itself?”

The Golden Core Insect Immortal looked yearningly, his expression extremely fanatical.

“Nascent Soul Dao Body…”

Hearing the words of the Golden Core Insect Immortal, Lu Sheng felt a sense of revulsion.

“These insects really know how to name things; clearly, it's insects replacing flesh and blood life, but in their mouths, it becomes the so-called Nascent Soul Dao Body!”

Lu Sheng felt a chill in his heart.

“This kind of method… is a bit too despicable.”

Lu Sheng understood why Liu Yao had an expression of disgust when mentioning the Three Thousand Worlds, and why other powerful individuals in the Human Federation were also extremely hostile towards the Three Thousand Worlds.

The methods of these Void Insect Race in the Three Thousand Worlds are simply unscrupulous!

Lu Sheng could even imagine how desperate those Golden Core Insect Immortals would be when they could still maintain their own will, but the insect egg shattered, and the Void Insect Race began to devour their will to achieve the Nascent Soul Dao Body.

Their long-held beliefs would be completely shattered at that moment.

Realizing that they had always been just a vessel for an insect—

How desperate and terrified would they be?

“I have been in seclusion for many years, but I never thought that today, my Pure Turbid Non-Phase Sect would give birth to two individuals with the potential of celestial beings. This is the good fortune of my Pure Turbid Non-Phase Sect!”

A sharp, piercing sound came from the mouth of the Nascent Soul Insect Immortal, making people feel somewhat physically uncomfortable.

As he spoke, the gaze of the Nascent Soul Insect Immortal fell upon Lu Sheng and Ling'er, and a hint of human-like smile appeared on the ferocious insect head.

“I am the founder of the Pure Turbid Non-Phase Sect, the Pure Turbid Immortal.”

“Are you two willing to become my disciples?”

As soon as these words came out, the disciples of the Pure Turbid Non-Phase Sect and the Insect Immortals all showed envious expressions. In their opinion, being accepted as a disciple by the Nascent Soul Insect Immortal was simply a step to the heavens.

This was something they couldn't even ask for.

Yet, it fell upon Lu Sheng and Ling'er.

Before Lu Sheng could speak, Ling'er's small hand grabbed Lu Sheng's sleeve, and Lu Sheng could even feel the tension and fear in Ling'er's heart.

It was as if only by grabbing Lu Sheng's sleeve could she feel a little bit of peace of mind.

“This little girl is a bit different from the ordinary people of this world.”

Lu Sheng's heart stirred slightly.

At this moment, the Nascent Soul Insect Immortal spoke again.

“The two of you have terrifying talent. In the future, you will surely be able to step into the Golden Core realm, and even enter the Nascent Soul realm, strengthening my Pure Turbid Non-Phase Sect.”

“If you become my disciples, I am willing to provide you with Five Elements Core Formation Pills to help you step into the ranks of the Golden Core!”

As he spoke, two jade bottles instantly appeared in the hands of the Nascent Soul Insect Immortal, and a strong energy fluctuation came from within the jade bottles.

“After you cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage, you can immediately receive these Five Elements Core Formation Pills that I personally refined!”

The Nascent Soul Insect Immortal spoke with a smile, his words filled with a hint of temptation.

Lu Sheng's gaze swept over the bottle and he immediately saw the situation inside.

Inside the bottle, there was a pill flashing with colorful light, but the appearance of the pill—was clearly an insect egg!

There was also a faint life fluctuation coming from within the insect egg.

This, naturally, could not be hidden from Lu Sheng.

Most importantly…

The life fluctuation within the insect egg, in Lu Sheng's perception, clearly came from the same source as this Nascent Soul Insect Immortal.

“To be able to receive the Five Elements Core Formation Pill personally refined by the ancestor, this is a treatment that even we cannot enjoy!”

At this time, the Golden Core Insect Immortal's face showed envy, urging.

“You two, quickly thank the ancestor. This kind of opportunity is hard to come by!”

Above the sky, the Nascent Soul Insect Immortal showed an even greater smile, obviously very satisfied with the words of the Golden Core Insect Immortal.

Lu Sheng took a deep look at the insect egg in the bottle.

“It seems—I'm afraid I'm about to come into contact with the truth of the Insect Immortals!”

“I wonder how many points this information can get me in this Grand Competition!”

Lu Sheng's task in this Star River Grand Competition was to investigate information, and the more secret the information investigated, the more points there would naturally be.

The secret of the Insect Immortal's truth should have a lot of points.

“Judging from the aura on this insect egg, the Fifth-Order Nascent Soul Insect Immortal seems to have the ability to reproduce itself. The insect egg in this bottle is a good proof of this.”

“Most importantly, if this Nascent Soul Insect Immortal is willing, he can probably devour the insect eggs he reproduces to strengthen himself.”

“That is to say, as long as you take this guy's insect egg, even if you cultivate to the Golden Core and discover something is wrong, this guy can directly devour you.”

“Then…”

Suddenly, Lu Sheng thought of what those guys who were traveling with him on the way to the Pure Turbid Non-Phase Sect said before.

A Golden Core Elder of the Pure Turbid Non-Phase Sect seemed to be occupied by a demon during the breaking of the core, but now his whereabouts are unknown.

“Could it be—that Golden Core Elder discovered the secret of this world when breaking the core, and thus resisted, and in the end, this Nascent Soul Insect Immortal took action and devoured that guy, so he is now missing?”

A series of thoughts flashed through Lu Sheng's mind.

“If that's the case—doesn't that mean that the Void Insect Race has mastered the source of all strengthening in this world, and these lives enslaved by the Void Insect Race have no chance of ever getting ahead?”

“The hope of this world—was strangled by the Void Insect Race from the very beginning!”

When Lu Sheng understood this point, his expression was more or less complicated, but in the end, he could only sigh slightly in his heart.

Afterwards, Lu Sheng took Ling'er's hand, stood up, respectfully bowed to the Nascent Soul Insect Immortal, and showed a grateful expression.

“Thank you, Ancestor. I am willing to become a disciple under the Ancestor!”

Although Ling'er was a little scared, since Lu Sheng had done so, Ling'er naturally followed Lu Sheng's actions and bowed to the Nascent Soul Insect Immortal.

“Good, good, good!! On the day of my exit from seclusion, I saw magpies chirping joyfully on the branches, and I knew that there would definitely be great joy today.”

“From today onwards, you two will be my personal disciples!”

The Nascent Soul Insect Immortal laughed loudly, looking extremely happy.

“Congratulations to the Ancestor for adding personal disciples again!”

One by one, the disciples of the Pure Turbid Non-Phase Sect, and even those Insect Immortals, congratulated again and again.

“Hahahaha, you two, follow me!”

The Nascent Soul Insect Immortal smiled and waved his hand, and a surge of energy lifted Lu Sheng and Ling'er into the air, and amidst the envious gazes of the disciples of the Pure Turbid Non-Phase Sect Insect Immortals, they swept towards the depths of the Pure Turbid Non-Phase Sect.

Soon, in the back mountain, the Nascent Soul Insect Immortal put the two down.

Ahead, were ancient courtyards.

“As my personal disciples, you naturally enjoy individually inhabited courtyards. You two will live and cultivate here from now on!”

The Nascent Soul Insect Immortal pointed to the two courtyards in front of him and said to Lu Sheng and Ling'er, his eyes full of satisfaction as he looked at the two.

“Thank you, Master!”

Acting must be a complete set. In order to find out more information, Lu Sheng naturally addressed this Nascent Soul Insect Immortal as Master.

“Yes! Under my door, there are a total of two personal disciples. You two are new here, you will be my third disciple, as for you—you are my youngest disciple!”

The Nascent Soul Insect Immortal put his hands behind his back and said to Lu Sheng and Ling'er.

“In this jade slip, there is my cultivation method. For the next period of time, you should cultivate peacefully within the sect, and remember not to go out, after all, you two have just stepped into the Immortal Path and have not experienced the world deeply, it is easy for some accidents to occur!”

In front of the Nascent Soul Insect Immortal, two jade slips floated out, falling into the palms of Lu Sheng and Ling'er respectively.

Listening to the Yuan Ying Insect Immortal's instructions, Lu Sheng couldn't help but laugh.

Saying it was concern for their safety, in reality, they just wanted to keep them confined within this Qingzhuo Wuxiang Sect, waiting for the day they matured, when they would be bled dry.

"As my disciples, walking within the Qingzhuo Wuxiang Sect naturally represents my face, so you must not waste time in cultivation. I will come to inspect your cultivation levels every year, and I hope you two will not disappoint me!"

The Yuan Ying Insect Immortal looked deeply at Lu Sheng and Ling'er and said in a deep voice.

"We will definitely not fail to live up to Master's expectations!"

Lu Sheng grasped the jade slip and bowed to the Yuan Ying Insect Immortal once more.

This scene naturally made the Yuan Ying Insect Immortal even more satisfied. He waved his hand: "Since that's the case, you two should cultivate here in peace."

"I still need to continue my seclusion. I will come to check your cultivation progress in a year!"

After saying that, the Yuan Ying Insect Immortal's figure directly disappeared in front of Lu Sheng and Ling'er, not at all worried about Lu Sheng and Ling'er escaping.

After all, in his eyes, the entire Qingzhuo Wuxiang Sect was his territory, and two ordinary people without any cultivation were easily within his grasp.

Lu Sheng looked at the place where the Yuan Ying Insect Immortal disappeared, and the smile on his lips slowly faded, a hint of coldness flashing across his face.

Lu Sheng also took a deep look at the mountain gate of the Qingzhuo Wuxiang Sect. With Lu Sheng's perception, he could naturally easily cover the entire Qingzhuo Wuxiang Sect.

"Those few guys weren't selected?"

Lu Sheng's brow furrowed slightly.

Indeed, at this moment, below the mountain gate, the few guys who had traveled with Lu Sheng before were also walking towards the foot of the mountain with dejected faces.

"But this is also good. If they are not selected, they can live a peaceful life in this world as ordinary people!"

Lu Sheng sighed softly.

Although the Void Insect Clan's methods are despicable, they also understand sustainable development. They will not kill ordinary people who have no value, after all, they still need these ordinary people to reproduce the next generation and provide them with more suitable parasitic objects.

It is precisely because of this that if they are not selected by the so-called Immortal Sect, they can survive in this false world as ordinary people.

Withdrawing his gaze, Lu Sheng glanced at the so-called methods in the jade slip, and after reading them, Lu Sheng sneered in his heart.

"As expected, it is a cultivation method that has been modified by demons. It is even more accelerated than the human federation's cultivator system. It is completely prepared for parasitism."

After saying that, Lu Sheng put away the jade slip and turned his gaze to Ling'er.

To be honest, Lu Sheng now has a great curiosity about Ling'er.

First, she didn't bow to the Jindan Insect Immortal, and then she had a special physique. It's hard not to make Lu Sheng pay attention.

Lu Sheng looked at Ling'er and said softly: "Why didn't you bow to those immortals just now?"

A look of entanglement appeared on Ling'er's face. Her little hands rubbed together, as if she was struggling with something. After a moment, she slowly said: "I think—cultivation shouldn't be like this."

"Their appearance—makes me very scared."

"Big brother, can I go home!"

Ling'er raised her head, tugged at Lu Sheng's sleeve, and asked pitifully.

Seeing this scene, Lu Sheng also sighed in his heart. He rubbed Ling'er's head, but said nothing.

It can be said that Ling'er is the most sober person he has met since coming to this world. Perhaps it is because of her age, and living in such a village, she doesn't have much contact with outside information.

In addition, she depends on her grandfather for life, and doesn't know much about the situation in this world, so she can feel strange, even scared, when facing the Insect Immortal.

"Don't be afraid!"

"Don't worry, let's cultivate here for a while, and then talk about these things, okay?"

Lu Sheng softly comforted Ling'er.

Ling'er's eyes were a little dazed, but she didn't know why, she had a great trust in Lu Sheng. Facing Lu Sheng's gaze, Ling'er nodded.

Then, under Lu Sheng's comfort, Ling'er's mood was also calmed down, and she walked towards her own courtyard, preparing to cultivate according to Lu Sheng's words.

Watching Ling'er walk into her own courtyard, Lu Sheng said what he hadn't finished saying just now.

"At least—there won't be any problems in a year or two!"

After saying that, Lu Sheng's expression gradually became calm.

Lu Sheng had read the methods given by the Yuan Ying Insect Immortal. Although it had been modified by the Void Insect Clan, the initial entry stage, that is, the Qi Gathering realm, was a normal cultivation method.

The real stage where the cultivator needs to transform himself and gradually develop into a stage where the Void Insect Clan can parasitize is still in the second and third stages.

Therefore, Ling'er will not have any problems in the short term.

After watching Ling'er return to her residence, Lu Sheng looked around again, and then returned to his own courtyard.

At this moment, Ling'er had already returned to her courtyard. She sat cross-legged on the bed, carefully took out the jade slip, and began to carefully examine the cultivation methods in the jade slip.

After only looking at it for a while, a look of contemplation appeared on Ling'er's face, and then she slowly closed her eyes.

Suddenly, in the heavens and earth, wisps of milky white gas spontaneously rushed towards Ling'er's body, as if there was something in Ling'er's body attracting these heaven and earth spiritual qi.

If Lu Sheng were here, he would definitely find that the situation appearing around Ling'er at this moment was actually the first stage of the cultivator system—Guiding Qi into the Body!

In this world, the position of the earth's core.

The earth's core, which should have been full, now appeared empty.

The space was very large, as if a piece had been dug out of thin air.

And in this huge space, a huge golden insect shadow quietly lay prostrate in this space, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.

Suddenly, the golden insect shadow seemed to sense something, suddenly raised its head, opened its eyes, and looked towards the direction of the Qingzhuo Wuxiang Sect.

A pair of eyes, as if crossing space, stared straight at the position where Lu Sheng was in the Qingzhuo Wuxiang Sect.

"Another new little guy has come?"

The low voice echoed in the space deep in the earth's core, and the sound alone caused cracks to appear in the surrounding stone walls.

"I wonder if this little guy can break the situation!"

As soon as the voice fell, the golden insect shadow lost interest, slowly lowered its head, closed its eyes again, and fell into a deep sleep.

After returning to his residence, Lu Sheng first checked the entire courtyard and found that there was nothing special, obviously the Yuan Ying Insect Immortal was very relieved about the entire Qingzhuo Wuxiang Sect.

He felt that he and Ling'er, two ordinary people, could not escape his palm, and even lazy to monitor them.

Lu Sheng smiled slightly and sat cross-legged on the bed.

He took out the jade slip that he had brought to this world before.

Lu Sheng injected a wisp of cultivation into the jade slip, activated the jade slip, and checked the records in the jade slip.

He found that his score in the jade slip's record had reached one hundred and seventy-three points!

"One hundred and seventy-three points? Is it because I joined the Qingzhuo Wuxiang Sect and found out part of the truth about the Insect Immortals, so I got this score?"

"I don't know if this score is considered high in this competition!"

Lu Sheng said, shaking his head.

Before coming, Meng Haoran only said that the jade slip recorded the score, but he didn't say how much the score was considered good. It seemed that he would have to wait until he went out to know the ranking.

"However, I have embedded myself in the Qingzhuo Wuxiang Sect and found out so much information, it should be a pretty good score."

"I dare not say the highest, but it should be pretty good."

Lu Sheng smiled, and just as he was about to put away the jade slip, suddenly, a scarlet glow flashed directly on the jade slip.
