The Terrifying Path of Immortal Cultivation

Li Qing strolled slowly through the entire garden.

Here, people often cleaned, and the stone paths underfoot were very clean.

Pavilions and stone chairs could be seen from time to time on the road, and the air was filled with a fresh scent.

In Li Qing's eyes, various kinds of Essence Qi existing in the natural world could be seen, mainly in shades of green and brown, mixed with various insects and small animals, or even the Essence Qi of unknown creatures.

As time passed, relying on the two spells in his hands, Li Qing dug three feet deep, and almost no Essence Qi fluctuations could escape his detection.

At this moment, he arrived at the pavilion where he had once discussed business with his master.

A hint of contemplation appeared on his face. In this pavilion, he sensed an unusual aura.

This aura was very elusive, seemingly elusive, existing beneath the pavilion.

"The Six Senses Reveal the Myriad Paths" and "Myriad Dao Myriad Qi Domain" were operated to the extreme, and his whole person seemed to become ethereal.

A mysterious pattern slowly appeared in his mind, a small hole the size of a little finger, quietly buried beneath the pavilion.

It did not emit any Essence Qi, almost blending with the surrounding soil and stones.

But even the soil and stones were covered with microorganisms, which also emitted Essence Qi.

However, these Essence Qi were so faint that they were almost imperceptible.

The so-called "corpse refining" actually cultivated colonies of special microorganisms.

Ultimately, delving into these corpses, coexisting with them, becoming "corpse-refined," and eventually even becoming zombies, evolving from microorganisms into another form of life.

This was Li Qing's understanding of some Demon Dao techniques, and this understanding also brought about some cognitive differences.

For example, at this moment, he perceived these subtle Essence Qi through two spells, and within these subtle Essence Qi, a void appeared.

This void did not emit any Essence Qi, which was extremely abnormal.

Although such things existed outside, they would be very conspicuous in this place.

The absence of emitted Essence Qi, mixed with countless things emitting Essence Qi, would instead expose the problem.

The combination of his two spells produced this effect.

Taking a deep breath, a hint of contemplation appeared in his eyes.

"Let me see what you really are."

"Limitless Escape Technique" was slightly activated, and instantly sank beneath the pavilion.

A black object appeared one zhang underground, looking extremely disgusting.

It was a mass resembling rotten flesh, covered with densely packed, small, and bizarre passages.

At this moment, a faint fluctuation enveloped Li Qing, the effect of "Limitless Escape Technique," allowing him to perceive objects within a certain range and understand the surroundings even underground.

Looking at this bizarre mass, a thought flashed through Li Qing's mind, "This thing seems to have a vital force."

With this thought, "The Righteous Path of the Mortal World is Built from Alteration" quietly activated.

A spiritual river of humanity silently rushed into the mass.

"Myriad Dao Myriad Qi Domain" and "Spirit Extinguishing Fog Sealing Myriad Arts" were activated.

A faint mist enveloped the location of the mass, a force that could weaken any spell and increase consumption tenfold.

In an instant, the mass was surrounded on all sides, and an infinite spiritual river rushed into it.

An extremely evil and chaotic fluctuation emanated from it, an instinctive emotion, a kind of uncontrollable bloodthirsty destruction.

The river of humanity rushed into it, and a surreal and terrifying world appeared in Li Qing's eyes.

An extremely bizarre fleshy tree grew in an endless sea of blood.

The fleshy tree was extremely strange, growing countless twisted limbs, like branches, blooming in all directions.

It was covered with countless fleshy tumors, each seeming to have a human face.

Strangely, these limbs would also branch out into various other creatures' limbs, and even various kinds of hair.

Countless bizarre eyes grew on the trunk of the fleshy tree, and they saw the golden river rushing into this world.

It let out an angry roar, and the huge fleshy tree rose from the sea of blood, waving countless terrifying limbs towards Li Qing.

The moment he saw this fleshy tree, Li Qing felt a strange power pervading his mind.

His mind seemed to be growing countless fleshy monsters, trying to devour his soul.

But his mind merged with the entire river of humanity, and countless sages appeared within the river.

All the sages in the river were transformed from the scriptures and information Li Qing had read, containing all the truths of the past and present lives, and all the knowledge of humanity.

Although he did not understand, under the power of the spell, these things turned into a formidable force, an almost invincible intangible force on the spiritual level.

It was this force that allowed him to maintain his sanity at all times, completely unaffected even in the face of various terrifying and bizarre things.

The huge fleshy tree pounced, and countless fleshy bodies swept down.

Li Qing remained calm, and the golden river instantly submerged the fleshy tree.

Countless truths and information crazily rushed into the fleshy tree's spirit and emotions, distorting its frenzy and bloodthirst.

Its emotions were being implanted with Li Qing's image, until Li Qing's image completely formed, occupying its spirit and becoming its supreme ruler.

The fleshy tree struggled frantically, wanting to resist this invasion, but it had no way to do so. Countless truths of the sages were something its spirit and emotions could not resist.

Only an infinite chaotic emotion, ultimately completely submerged, and the fleshy tree ceased its struggle.

The golden river slowly disappeared from this bloody world, and the fleshy tree returned to the sea of blood, but it was somewhat different now.

Although still violent, its spiritual essence had been completely controlled.

Li Qing slowly opened his eyes, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

The spirit contained within this bizarre fleshy mass had been completely tamed. He could control it to do anything, even to die, without any resistance.

"Although I don't know what this thing is, it must be the core of the whole event, the key item in disrupting the Demon-Sealing Palace."

Quietly leaving the pavilion, Li Qing silently contemplated.

"Now that I have grasped the core of the whole event, the next step is to uncover the other plans of the Blood Demon Cult and the Hundred Desires Demon Sect."

"Only after understanding all their plans will I know how to resolve this calamity."
