I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

– – – – – –

God-devouring Insects.

A special species that existed in the ancient years. Their physical bodies are hard and they are known as God-devourers, capable of devouring even gods. There is nothing that isn't on their menu.

The swamp where the Dragon Mud Loach was discovered earlier is their range of activity. Luo Mo sent his incarnation to chase the Three-Eyed Spirit Fox, but it encountered them. The incarnation didn't have much Yuan Qi, and in order to save the Three-Eyed Spirit Fox, it ended up sacrificing itself.

The God-devouring Insects are not large, only the size of a thumb. Their entire bodies are covered with dense golden scales, like tiny dragons, except without horns. They can even chew through divine power; no invincible physical body can stop them.

Unfortunately, the incarnation's Yuan Qi was insufficient, and the manifested body wasn't strong enough, so it was bitten through by the God-devouring Insects.

Needless to say, get rid of them!

Luo Mo searched this swamp, and soon found the God-devouring Insects. These golden little bugs are rampant here, and even some powerful savage beasts dare not approach. A certain area has become their territory.

After finding the God-devouring Insects, Luo Mo stepped into their territory. This act immediately aroused their anger. A golden haze rose from the ground, filled with dense God-devouring Insects, rushing towards Luo Mo.

His figure swayed and disappeared into thin air, leaving the God-devouring Insects confused.

When he reappeared, he had already crossed space and appeared next to the God-devouring Insect nest, using the Great Void Technique to instantly get close.

Luo Mo's eyes were like torches, and he held the Dao Calamity Golden Spear, inserting it into the insect nest with one strike.

Ding!

The Dao Calamity Golden Spear was actually blocked. A fist-sized God-devouring Insect flew out, biting the Dao Calamity Golden Spear, making a tooth-aching friction sound.

Not to mention that the Dao Calamity Gold is incomparably strong, and what's more, this is a quasi-Emperor weapon. Even if I let you gnaw for a hundred years, you wouldn't be able to gnaw through it.

The might of the quasi-Emperor weapon shook, and this God-devouring Insect was immediately cut into two neat halves by the divine spear's edge.

A God-devouring Insect lower than the Great Power level is truly rare.

After clearing the threat, Luo Mo used White Emperor Golden Emperor Gang Qi in his fingers, like a heavenly sword, inserting it into the insect nest, and then lifted it up, immediately scooping out pale golden insect eggs, each with a translucent little worm curled up inside, not yet hatched.

This action undoubtedly touched the God-devouring Insects' inverse scales. They swarmed over, wanting to devour the creature in front of them.

They are extremely fierce, and their bodies are hard. Their divine senses are integrated, and their fluctuations are constant, advancing and retreating together, like a golden disaster wind.

But without the God-devouring Insect Ancestor, how could these little bugs cause any waves?

The Dao Calamity Golden Spear shook, and in an instant, thousands of spears were thrust out, each accurately hitting a God-devouring Insect, only destroying its primordial spirit, without much damage to its physical body.

Suddenly, golden rain fell from the sky, and golden God-devouring Insects fell, and Luo Mo collected them. The physical bodies of these little bugs are incomparably strong, simply the Holy Body of the insect world, so naturally they cannot be wasted.

"It's a pity about that Three-Eyed Spirit Fox."

It was a little treasure-hunting thing, but it was eaten by these bugs. Alas.

There are not many insect eggs, only more than two hundred. With Luo Mo's wealth and generosity, he should be able to cultivate powerful God-devouring Insects in the future, which should be of some use.

There is no one else in the small world except him. After catching the God-devouring Insects, he slowly searched for the opportunities here. Today, he found some divine materials and precious medicines, and tomorrow, he discovered some ancient secret methods and scriptures. When he was free, he cultivated, which was very comfortable.

Even if he is leisurely and slow, this small world will not take long to be explored by him. After all, the so-called dangerous places are equivalent to nothing to him. He can go anywhere, and those savage beasts cannot stop him.

This day, he discovered a fairy lake, and not far away, there was a cave dwelling. The two seemed to have no connection, but in fact, it was a series of cave dwellings, deliberately arranged in this way.

Luo Mo cultivated the Eternal Life Method, and was particularly sensitive to formations. He saw the problem at a glance, and then began to crack it.

He sneaked into the lake and found an ancient cave, then arranged formation patterns to separate the lake water.

The ancient cave flowed with immortal light, and contained dragon energy, spewing outwards. It was obvious at a glance that it was not an ordinary place, and there were formation patterns here, obviously artificially arranged.

The ancient cave's gate was tightly closed, with dense runes on it. If someone who didn't understand formation patterns took a look, they would faint. Even Luo Mo spent a quarter of an hour to crack it open.

"A bit interesting."

Such powerful formation patterns indicate that the things inside are not ordinary.

He pushed open the gate and stepped into the ancient cave.

Inside the cave dwelling, immortal mist was misty, and the smoke and clouds were brilliant. There was a white jade stone staircase leading to the depths.

Next to it was a spring pool. Beside the spring pool was a half-foot-high Dao platform, with a small bowl on it catching the dripping juice. There was already a small half bowl of white juice inside.

This is Earth Milk nurtured by the Earth Spirit Root. If Earth Milk is born from some powerful ancestral roots, it is Immortal Juice Jade Liquid, and its effect will not be weaker than Divine Spring, with the effect of bringing the dead back to life and regenerating flesh and bones.

But this small half bowl is not. It is just ordinary Earth Milk, with average quality and little quantity.

But the Dao platform under the small bowl is not ordinary. That is because the Immortal Juice Jade Liquid dripped here and no one collected it. After endless years, it eventually formed such a Dao platform.

Until the Immortal Juice Jade Liquid ran out, only ordinary Earth Milk flowed out, but the Immortal Juice Jade Liquid Dao platform that had been condensed was retained. Unfortunately, it does not have the effect of Immortal Juice Jade Liquid, it is just a good material.

He put away the Dao platform, drank the small half bowl of Earth Milk, and walked forward, passing through a withered medicine field, and saw a skeleton.

It was an ancient ape that had been sitting here for many years, seemingly guarding here. Unfortunately, it was not a sage, nor did it transform into a Yin spirit. After a long time, the essence in the skeleton had long been dispersed, and it would fall apart with a gust of wind, falling on the ground and turning into powder.

Luo Mo continued to walk forward and saw a jade tree, which was deliberately planted here, no more than half a meter high, shining brightly.

"Undying Wonder Tree."

Jade trees can be born in the Earth Marrow, like having life, they can grow. If obtained by cultivators, they can be refined into weapons, which are indestructible.

There are a total of forty-nine jade trees, rooted in the jade veins, arranged carefully, complicated and mysterious, and each jade tree is intertwined with various Dao patterns.

The number of Great Evolution is fifty, and its use is forty-nine. These forty-nine jade trees are all for achieving the one that escaped, which is the Undying Wonder Tree.

The fiftieth jade tree is not far away, using Dao patterns to guide the vitality and mystery of the forty-nine jade trees to it, achieving it, making it the legendary Undying Wonder Tree.

Unfortunately, the Undying Wonder Tree is dry and dull.

Most of this Undying Wonder Tree is dim, only the uppermost end has a section of crystal-clear jade-like tender branches, with seven jade leaves.

"The sacrifice failed, only this little bit succeeded, what a pity."

This kind of jade tree is a treasure grown in the Earth Vein Jade Marrow. Each one is extremely difficult to find, let alone find so many, and finally, it is necessary to unify its mystery and achieve the Undying Wonder Tree. The difficulty of sacrifice is even higher than the seven star cores in the Seven Star Sword Chen Diagram.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, even without the Undying Wonder Tree, breaking off that first-order branch would be a big gain.

After all, the successful Undying Wonder Tree is benchmarked against the ancient emperor's exclusive sacred objects, such as Profound Yellow Qi and Immortal Gold. The difficulty of refining can be imagined, and failure is also a matter of course. It's not bad to have such a branch.

But Luo Mo was not in a hurry to take away that section of the branch, but sat down here, released the Bodhi tree, and observed the Dao patterns on the forty-nine jade trees every day, sometimes deducing, sometimes cultivating, and not rushing for success.

Time passed in a flash, and half a year passed. Luo Mo cultivated quietly here, with the zhang-sized Bodhi tree beside him. The fragrance belonging to the Undying Divine Medicine drifted out very far, very far.

Luo Mo digested what he had gained, comprehended the obtained scriptures and secret techniques, and at the same time studied the fusion of the Eternal Life Method and the Heaven-Shrouding Method in the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

The Four Extremes Secret Realm cultivates the Four Extremes, and Luo Mo also integrated the Eternal Life Method into it. At the same time, he adjusted the past fusion. The Eternal Life Method integrated into the Wheel Sea Secret Realm and the Dao Palace Secret Realm has a deeper understanding at this moment, modifying the shortcomings.

The Great Origin Technique is integrated into the Wheel Sea Secret Realm.

The Great Five Elements Technique is integrated into the Dao Palace Secret Realm.

The Great Vault of Heaven Technique is integrated into the Four Extremes Secret Realm, because the Four Extremes Secret Realm uses the human body's Four Extremes to connect the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Every move has great magic power and Daoism, and can control the power of Heaven and Earth.

The Great Blood Soul Technique is integrated into the physical body cultivation, the Great Soul Technique is integrated into the divine sense cultivation, and the basic scriptures of Taiyin and Sun are reconciled with the Great Yin Yang Technique.

He cultivated quietly under the Bodhi tree for half a year, almost creating half a volume of the Heaven-Shrouding Method scripture, which can cultivate the first three secret realms, as well as the secret techniques for cultivating the physical body and divine sense, all of which conform to the Heaven-Shrouding Method.

However, to those with profound cultivation, a sense of disorder would be apparent. The overall scripture was rough, yet every detail contained treasures, as if not written by the same hand. The good parts seemed to be personally penned by the Great Dao itself.

Although Luo Mo possessed other functional Three Thousand Great Daos like the Great Divination Art, he hadn't integrated them into his scripture. He temporarily chose only the parts useful for laying the foundation, wanting to figure out a cultivation method for his tool people to try. This was a Shrouding Heaven method, learning some of the exquisite aspects of the Eternal Life method's Three Thousand Great Daos, which shouldn't trigger a creation tribulation.

If the tool people could successfully cultivate, it could be promoted in the future, and everyone would be a Chaos Body.

However, the scripture for the Four Extremes Realm wasn't complete yet, because he himself hadn't finished cultivating this realm. It would take some more time before he could experiment on the tool people.

During breaks from cultivation, he also pondered the Immortal Mystical Tree, trying to salvage it, to mend the heavens with skillful hands, wanting to re-refine it.

Although there wasn't a 100% foolproof method, he felt he could give it a try.

After all, he wasn't lacking a branch, and it wouldn't hurt so much if he failed.

Although the forty-nine jade trees had already dedicated their essence to the Immortal Mystical Tree, they were still useful. Originating from the same source as the Immortal Mystical Tree, they could gather the essence of the earth's veins and then transmit it to the Immortal Mystical Tree, replenishing what it needed.

The Great Treasure Refinement Art was used, and the forty-nine jade trees were re-refined, turning them into magical treasures, like array flags. Subsequently, even the Immortal Mystical Tree was collected by him.

To replenish the Immortal Mystical Tree, it couldn't be done here. The earth's veins here had been almost completely absorbed, not enough to supply the Immortal Mystical Tree. He had to go out and find a powerful ancestral vein immortal root to try to complete this treasure.

A few more days passed, and Luo Mo successfully broke through to the Third Heaven of the Four Extremes Realm before continuing to explore this cave dwelling.

Further ahead was a place filled with bottles and jars. The jade bottles contained pills, but unfortunately, after endless years, these pills had deteriorated. Even if cultivators consumed them, they would be poisoned, so Luo Mo collected them as poisonous materials.

One five-colored gourd even had the ancient characters 'Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill' written on it, but there was nothing inside, not even deteriorated pills.

Nine Revolutions Immortal Pills would definitely be eaten, how could they be left behind?

Luo Mo had explored the outer perimeter of this cave dwelling, and apart from a Dao platform formed by a drop of immortal juice jade liquid and the unsuccessfully refined Immortal Mystical Tree, there were no other gains.

So he headed towards the depths of the cave dwelling. In the deepest part, there was a flowing glow, densely covered with array patterns, isolating the path ahead and sealing it off.

In the original story, only Duan De had been here, but what was inside wasn't written, only that Duan De walked out cursing.

The array patterns here were even more extraordinary. Even Luo Mo, who could study Emperor Arrays at any time, paused here for a while before opening a path, passing through the glow, and entering the core of the cave dwelling.

After passing through the glow, a rich spiritual energy rushed towards him. The environment here was no worse than the Immortal Burial Ground of the Undying Emperor.

Clearly, the owner here was extraordinary. If the gourd had truly contained a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, then a Supreme Being probably lived here.

After passing through the glow, the core of the cave dwelling appeared before Luo Mo. This was an underground space, but it was extremely vast, obviously arranged with spatial array patterns.

A group of palaces floated in the air, supported by auspicious clouds formed by spiritual energy, like a fairyland.

However, this fairyland was somewhat dead and lifeless, and each palace was protected by powerful array patterns.

Since there was protection, it meant there might be treasures inside.

Luo Mo looked around and found thirty-six palaces, so he immediately began to crack them.

An hour later, he finally understood why Duan De was cursing in the original story.

Because it was incredibly clean, empty enough for mice to run around, nothing was left behind. People had lived here before, but they took everything with them before leaving.

And it was cleaned up so thoroughly that nothing but the houses were left behind.

Tell me, what could these latecomers do here? Sightseeing?

They wouldn't move the houses away, would they?

Luo Mo thought about it, and then moved the thirty-six palaces away, because at least they were palaces refined by Saint-level existences, and the array patterns arranged were somewhat valuable.

He didn't mind the trouble, anyway, his Seven Stars Sword Chart alone could hold several stars, the space was vast.

Leaving this cave dwelling, he began to explore this small world and cultivate again. Three months later, this small world was basically explored by him, leaving only the deepest part.

There, not a blade of grass grew, black mist rolled, the killing intent was eternal, demonic clouds billowed, and baleful aura soared to the sky. It was a vast battlefield.

"Undying Emperor!"

The Battle Saint Emperor's roar shook the heavens and the earth, even after countless years, it still echoed, making people's minds tremble.

This battlefield was extremely vast, with Great Emperor array patterns. There was even the blood and bones of the Taihuang inside. Even if Luo Mo had the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Cover, it was impossible to enter.

Moreover, this path to immortality had already collapsed, and there was no need to go in again.

The exploration had reached its end, it was time to leave.

Luo Mo communicated with the incarnation he released first, opened the space channel, then turned around and stepped out of the tree hole of the ancient locust tree, ending this trip to the Immortal Mansion small world.

He obtained dozens of scriptures and secret techniques, some divine materials and precious medicines, a section of the Soul Calming Iron Chain, a piece of the Undying Emperor's human skin, a coffin made of Enlightenment Tea Tree, a Taiyin River, a Fire Tree King, and a piece of Immortal Tears Green Gold.

There were also the Ten Thousand Zhang Jade Platform, Golden Crow Egg and God Devouring Insect Egg, several ancient corpses, the Immortal Mystical Tree that had not been successfully refined, etc.

Getting to do the dungeon before everyone else really allowed him to reap a great harvest.

And there was a similar dungeon in the Feathered God Dynasty. He remembered that there was also immortal gold there, and he could fuse the immortal gold together to forge a magical treasure when the time came.

However, before going to the Feathered God Dynasty, he should first find the Secret of the Soldier, after all, this was the simplest.

Along the way, he would also look for earth vein immortal roots to replenish the Immortal Mystical Tree, using the Great Treasure Refinement Art to try. He was somewhat confident in repairing the Immortal Mystical Tree.

The Transforming Immortal Pond would be left to the end, because that place had Holy Spirits, the kind that dared to challenge the Azure Emperor's killing intent, and he couldn't beat them.

If he went to the Transforming Immortal Pond, he would have to call on Gai Jiuyou to ensure safety. Jiang Taixu wouldn't be enough. He just didn't know if Gai Jiuyou had come out of seclusion. Last time he asked Xia Jiuyou, she said that her master was in seclusion.

Presumably, Gai Jiuyou was studying the Great Decay and Flourishing Art, wanting to live out a new life. If he could succeed, there probably wouldn't be a Golden Crow Great Emperor in this life.

Once the Azure Emperor's Great Dao dissipated, Gai Jiuyou would directly prove the Dao and become Emperor, becoming the tallest person, and then resist the Dark Turmoil.

Luo Mo wasn't worried about others proving the Dao first, because his physique had been transformed into a Chaos Body. Even if someone proved the Dao before him, he wouldn't be afraid, and he could still prove the Dao. It's just that the geniuses of this Golden Age would probably be very tired.

Especially many of the ancient royal children who were sealed until this life. They were still slowly cultivating when suddenly a Gai Jiuyou jumped out and proved the Dao and became Emperor, probably making them vomit blood directly.

… …

The Central Province had many dragon veins, containing dragon marrow, and some were even ancestral vein immortal roots, gathering spiritual energy and transforming into a fairyland on earth.

It's just that most of the immortal root ancestral veins already had owners, occupied by the various holy lands, imperial dynasties, and great sects. Luo Mo couldn't rob them, so he could only go find wild ones himself.

The Central Province had a vast territory. If he searched patiently, he would definitely be able to find the immortal root ancestral vein he needed, and then he could use it to replenish the Immortal Mystical Tree.

However, several months had passed. Luo Mo was on his way to the Qin Sect in the Qinling Mountains, traversing the Qinling Mountains all the way, while searching for dragon veins along the way, wanting to try his luck in finding an ancestral vein immortal root.

He didn't find any immortal roots, only some ordinary dragon veins, and some dragon marrow.

He did find a lot of large tombs. The land of dragon veins he was looking for was also a geomantic treasure land, and some great figures would bury themselves in these geomantic treasure lands.

So Luo Mo found seven large tombs along the way, all of them tombs of Holy Lords and Imperial Lords. The funerary objects were mostly Great Power weapons, and some divine materials, etc. The harvest was not bad, at least enough to make ordinary cultivators envious to the point of drooling.

"Is tomb raiding so profitable?"

He was a little tempted, wanting to specialize in this industry in this treasure land of the Central Province. With his mastery of Source Arts, it would be promising to engage in this industry.

But after thinking about it, he decided against it. After all, it was just small money, not enough to make him rich. How powerful could the funerary objects of those Great Powers be?

In this way, he searched for dragon veins all the way through the Qinling Mountains, and finally found the Qin Sect located in the Qinling Mountains.
