Seeking Immortality

Ten thousand years ago, Heihuang Cliff was known as the highest peak in the vast land of China, and the most dangerous place. Birds saw sorrow, and apes saw fear. Standing at the foot of the peak, you can't see the sky when you look up.

However, in the battle ten thousand years ago, the Demon Ancestor and thousands of cultivators of the righteous path gathered here to fight. In that battle, more than half of the Black Emperor Cliff was destroyed by countless powerful Taoist magical powers. From then on, the Black Emperor Cliff became It became an extremely ordinary small mountain peak.

Either reincarnation or fate, forty years ago, another war was fought here. Countless masters of the Righteous Alliance joined forces with Zhang Xusheng to first defeat the "underworld" organization that had secretly controlled the situation in the world of immortality for tens of thousands of years, and then with The comeback Shura clan fought a battle, and in this battle, the Black Emperor Cliff was completely destroyed. The location of the Black Emperor Cliff had now turned into a huge basin.

But in the basin, there is a gray barrier, and within the barrier is the "soul-eating insect" that can be called a world-destroying demon! !

In the past forty years, humans and the Shura tribe have fought countless wars. The flames of war have spread all over the vast land of China, but only in the area thousands of miles away where the "soul-eating insect" was sealed, there has never been a battle, even between the two sides. Under the strict orders from the top, there were not even any Shura clan or human monks passing by. Whenever the two sides were fighting close to this place, they would cautiously stop fighting, as if they were afraid of disturbing the "soul-eating insects" here. generally.

Over time, the three thousand-mile radius of Black Emperor Cliff has become a restricted area. Not only are all parties prohibited from fighting here, but also living beings are prohibited from entering this area. Once such a situation occurs, whether it is a human monk or a Shura tribesman, , all of them will be killed without mercy.

Once, a human monk was hunted by the Shura clan when he was out on a mission. In order to escape with his life, he avoided the area where the "soul-eating insect" was sealed. After waiting outside for two months, he finally left, but the human monk escaped with his life.

However, after this human monk returned to the Human Alliance, although he found extremely valuable information during this trip and was a very promising monk in the Human Alliance, he was greeted by Immortal Zizhen, Mr. Liu, and Zhang Xu The three saints have either gloomy or angry expressions.

In the end, this monk, who had a promising future, was deprived of his cultivation by the three great masters in front of everyone, as a warning to all human monks not to enter this restricted area.

The Shura people abide by this even more. The terror of "soul-eating insects" has already been deeply engraved in their souls.

This time, when Xu Qingfan came here, he also escaped many detections and defense lines. The people who formed the defense line included Shura tribesmen and human monks, but they were in peace with each other. There was no life-and-death struggle like other places.

I am afraid. This restricted area. It is the only tacit understanding between the Shura tribe and the Human Alliance. It is also the only place in the vast land of China without disputes.

Talk about it. There is a Shura tribesman who is still stronger than Xu Qingfan. It is not far different from an existence like Zhang Xusheng. If it weren't for the two qi of good and evil in Xu Qingfan's body, they would be in check and balance. The aura in Xu Qingfan's body was extremely restrained. It's really impossible to enter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

now. Xu Qingfan was floating with his hands behind his back in front of the place where the "Spirit Devouring Insect" was sealed. eyes closed. Silently sensing the subtle aura seeping out of the huge gray barrier in front of him.

Gradually. Xu Qingfan's face was as calm as an ancient well. There was a hint of surprise.

Continue over time. This trace of surprise is getting stronger and stronger. At the end. There was actually a bit of panic.

"What a terrifying monster, what a powerful scheming person."

Xu Qingfan opened his eyes suddenly and murmured.

On Xu Qingfan's shoulders, Xiao Hei showed a rare feeling of restlessness.

The aura of Qiu that Xu Qingfan sensed before was enough to surprise him, but he didn't expect that Qiu was in heaven and earth compared to this monster.

Although both Qiu and the "Soul-eating Insect" can absorb the energy of other living beings to evolve their bodies without limit, they are actually completely incomparable. If Qiu's aura gives Xu Qingfan the feeling of a raging and raging river, then The "soul-eating worm" gave Xu Qingfan the feeling of a violent and endless ocean.

This is still under the condition that the "Spirit Devouring Insect" has been sealed, otherwise the aura would be even more amazing.

The reason why Xu Qingfan dared to create Qiu was because after his experiments over the years, he found that Qiu's evolution had its limits. Therefore, although Xu Qingfan was afraid of Qiu, he still dared to let Qiu do what he did and spread his own strength. Qiu's evolution It is like an object that keeps increasing in weight hanging on a thin line. One day, Qiu will perish and collapse in the process of evolution, but this "soul-eating insect" seems to be a piece of earth, no matter what is on it. Multiple attacks will not cause any damage.

There is also the fact that when Qiu devours other living beings, he can only use 40 to 50% of the energy, and most of the energy is wasted by Qiu. However, the "soul-eating insect" not only has a stronger devouring ability, but can also utilize it 100%. This also proves that Xu Qingfan's success rate is not high when he wants Qiu Lai to deal with the "Spirit-Eating Insect".

However, although the "soul-eating insect" was terrifying, it surprised Xu Qingfan even more.

It was Zhang Xusheng's plan that dared to let the "Soul-eating Insect" reappear in the world.

Over the years, Xu Qingfan has carefully studied every move of Zhang Xusheng, and found that every time Zhang Xusheng makes a move, it seems to be risky, but in fact it is extremely safe, and it can even be said that he will never make a move without confidence.

There is no perfect plan in the world, and Zhang Xusheng is the same. It's just that he has compressed the flaws in the plan to the extreme, leaving only one flaw in each plan, but this flaw is directly pointed at people's hearts, and people have to turn a blind eye to this flaw.

If releasing the "Soul Devouring Insect" is also one of his plans, then the flaw of this plan is that Zizhen Immortal and others will not agree with Zhang Xusheng to release the "Soul Devouring Insect" because they are afraid of the harm of the "Soul Devouring Insect". Unfortunately, as always, this flaw was ignored by Zizhen Immortal and others, and they have long regretted it.

Zhang Xusheng never did useless work and never played useless chess. Xu Qingfan didn't believe that Zhang Xusheng had no other means to force the Shura clan to appear except the "Soul Devouring Insect". But he let the "Soul Devouring Insect" be sealed here after releasing it. Was it just because he wanted to get rid of Mr. Liu's control? He couldn't have only this method, and he should know the horror of the "Soul Devouring Insect" better than anyone else.

Unless...

Zhang Xusheng had other purposes.

And the "Soul Devouring Insect" sealed in front of him was his hidden chess move.

However, the "Soul Devouring Insect" was not a controllable existence of any creature in this world. With its strength and destructive power, it was harmful to Zhang Xusheng. Why did Zhang Xusheng release it back then?

Although Xu Qingfan had known the horror of the "Soul Devouring Insect" for a long time, it was only at this moment that he personally experienced it and knew how terrible the "Soul Devouring Insect" was.

Sensing the power of the Soul Devouring Insect, Xu Qingfan's shock in his heart was far greater than what was revealed on the surface.

He suddenly realized that he had thought that he had known the "Soul Devouring Insect" very well through the God Transmission Plate and various materials, but now he realized that the materials were just materials, and the pictures on the God Transmission Plate were just pictures. Only when he really came here did he realize how much he had underestimated the horror of the "Soul Devouring Insect" before, and it was precisely because of this underestimation that the idea of ​​this chess game was also messed up.

"It seems that the future plan for Qiu and the "Soul Devouring Insect" needs to be changed. I originally thought that although the "Soul Devouring Insect" has a stronger devouring ability, if Qiu's strength is far greater than it, there is still a possibility that both sides will perish together, but I didn't expect the "Soul Devouring Insect" to be so powerful. If I hadn't been curious this time and came to investigate it myself, letting Qiu deal with the "Soul Devouring Insect" in the future would just be sending himself to death."

However, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but not think about how to deal with the hidden danger of the "Soul Devouring Insect" in the future, but thought of more problems that he hadn't thought about before.

Zhang Xusheng, what was the purpose of releasing the "Soul Devouring Insect" back then? If it was just to force the Shura Clan to appear and break away from Mr. Liu's control, it would be too much.

"If, as Liu Ziqing said, Zhang Xusheng's next goal is to become a god, but the existence of the 'Soul Devouring Bug' is to... destroy the world?"

Xu Qingfan muttered to himself.

Thinking about it, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but enter a state of possession, his eyes were dark, and his face was full of black lines.

"In other words, Zhang Xusheng plans to release the 'Soul Devouring Bug' at the right time, destroy all the creatures in the world, and then let the creatures he created who are loyal to him rule the world. So, if this is the case, Zhang Xusheng has the means to destroy the 'Soul Devouring Bug' in the future?"

With a sigh, Xu Qingfan turned around and looked in the direction of the Human Alliance.

There, Zhang Xusheng might be like Xu Qingfan at this time, with his eyes fluctuating and planning something.

Thinking about it, Xu Qingfan suddenly laughed, but his eyes were gloomy and there was no smile.

But Xu Qingfan suddenly thought that if Zhang Xusheng really had a way to destroy the "Soul Devouring Insect", then from beginning to end, no matter what clever plan he designed, Zhang Xusheng had already sat firmly on Mount Tai and was invincible, because Zhang Xusheng only needed to release the Soul Devouring Insect at the critical moment and let it do its thing, and then he would appear in the end to clean up the mess.

Even if a certain force defeated Zhang Xusheng, as long as Zhang Xusheng had the means to destroy the "Soul Devouring Insect", then no one would rely on him and dare not hurt him.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but feel a strong sense of frustration in his heart. Was his painstaking plan over the years useless?

However, Xu Qingfan was puzzled. With the existence of this Soul Devouring Insect, the plan to destroy the world could be implemented at any time, but why did Zhang Xusheng just hide in the Human Alliance over the years?

Suddenly, Xu Qingfan's body shook, as if he had thought of something.
