The Terrifying Path of Immortal Cultivation

Just as he sighed, the eerie figure of a woman in white appeared again.

A sharp and piercing scream rang out.

"Am I... beautiful...?"

The white figure lunged at him, and Li Qing instinctively trembled as his magical power surged and vibrated.

The "Indomitable Human Dao Body" unfolded in an instant.

A hazy gray divine ring expanded from his body, turning his entire body into pure gold in an instant, even his eyes and hair, every strand of hair was golden.

Strangely, there was no breath leaking from his body, all the breath was bound within the divine ring.

His heart raced, an instinctive reaction to sudden stimulation.

The eerie figure of the woman in white hit him, but instantly passed through his body and slowly disappeared the next moment.

It seemed that everything just now was just an illusion and not real.

Li Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, breaking out in a cold sweat all over.

"Damn, that scared the hell out of me."

At this moment, Li Qing exhaled a fragrant breath, almost cursing.

He hadn't expected this eerie anomaly to scare him again before his death.

He took a deep breath and continued to draw symbols.

He didn't have many talismans left, only about ten.

In the end, he formed a total of three Evil-Extinguishing Talismans.

Looking at the pure gold talismans, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Three should be enough for now."

The next day, Li Qing left his room early in the morning.

Just as he reached the gate of Jixia Academy, he encountered someone.

"Mr. Xu? What's this?"

At this moment, Mr. Xu was carrying a bag, waiting for a carriage outside, about to get on.

Hearing the voice behind him, Mr. Xu turned to look at Li Qing.

"Li, good morning," he said with a smile on his face.

Li Qing looked at him, "Are you leaving?"

"Yes, I have already resigned from the academy."

Li Qing fell silent at his words, Mr. Xu in front of him was a man whose path to immortality had been cut off.

Although he had once suspected him, even investigated him in secret, Li Qing knew his thoughts and understood them very well.

Because if it were him, he would probably do the same.

Li Qing nodded silently, "Mr. Xu, take care on your journey."

"You too," Mr. Xu said with a desolate expression as he boarded the carriage.

Clatter, clatter, clatter.

Jingle, jingle, jingle.

"Drive on."

The coachman waved his whip, the horse's hooves trod the ground, and the bells on the carriage rang lightly.

In the early morning, a carriage disappeared into the faint mist.

Li Qing watched the departing carriage and sighed softly.

"Perhaps one day in the future, I will also leave in such a desolate manner."

Shaking his head, he threw away the emotions and thoughts in his mind.

Quietly, he walked towards the outskirts of the city, and an hour later, he had arrived in a forest ten miles outside the city.

"Omnidirectional Reflection" opened, beginning to sense countless traces of Qi.

The whole world seemed to quiet down in that instant.

A faint sound fell into his ears, the sound of a small branch breaking, indicating the presence of a heavy creature in the distance.

In his perception, the information of smell, sound, and vibration could be sensed hundreds of meters away, the most sensitive of all perceptions.

To reflect the scene in his mind required the consumption of magical power, and the range of reflection was limited, about thirty zhang.

In the next moment, Li Qing turned invisible and quietly burrowed into the ground, reappearing fifty zhang away in a dense forest.

Leaping from the ground, a wild boar appeared in front of him.

The wild boar, seeing Li Qing suddenly appear, was instantly startled.

"Grunt... grunt."

The sharp and piercing squeal of the boar rang out as it charged towards Li Qing with its tusks.

Facing the charging wild boar, Li Qing slapped it on the head with a palm, instantly causing it to kneel and lose consciousness.

Li Qing then quietly cast the "Summoning Magic" with his left hand, and a black aura enveloped the wild boar, visibly causing its body to become desiccated.

In just a few breaths, the wild boar had completely shriveled up, leaving only a shell.

Li Qing looked at the desiccated body and furrowed his brow.

He stepped on it, and with a surge of magical power, a huge force emanated from under his feet, directly pulverizing the boar's body into powder.

The powder piled up on the ground, and a hint of satisfaction appeared on Li Qing's face.

The "Summoning Magic" had already emitted a strange fluctuation, and another strange creature emerged from the void.

This creature was even more terrifying, completely devoid of a normal biological form, resembling a twisted combination of limbs.

Standing at ten zhang tall, it was covered with eerie claws and arms, with a giant mouth in the middle of its body that could swallow a person, filled with countless teeth, emitting an extremely evil aura.

This aura seemed to carry a kind of mental attack that could affect one's will, causing any creature to instinctively feel fear.

At this moment, Li Qing could feel the fear rising within his body.

The "Heavenly Civilization Torrent" erupted in an instant, suppressing all the fear and negative emotions.

At this point, the giant monster roared and had already opened its terrifying mouth, pouncing towards Li Qing.

The "Summoning Magic" summoned the strange creature, defeated it, and then implanted the mark of the "Summoning Magic" to control these creatures.

However, controlling these creatures would require enduring their insane spirits.

Over time, it was inevitable that it would have an impact, and ultimately, it might even lead to mutation.

This was extremely terrifying and dangerous, as no one could remain powerful forever, and once they fell into a weak period, the power of the creatures would backlash through the marks.

At the same time, the number of creatures a person could bear was limited and directly proportional to their mental strength.

Li Qing naturally didn't need these creatures as his subordinates, he only needed the creatures themselves, craving their Essence Qi stones.

Facing the oncoming creature, Li Qing spat out a sword light.

The dazzling sword light was ten times larger than the Foundation Building Realm, instantly splitting the creature in half.

The sword light then spun violently, dismembering the creature into dozens of pieces.

The creature's body quickly decayed, and finally, an Essence Qi stone appeared in a pool of black water.

Li Qing took out a handkerchief, wrapped the Essence Qi stone, and threw it into the Universe Bag.

He wouldn't absorb these Essence Qi stones for the time being, as he still needed to buy some talismans to refine more Evil-Extinguishing Talismans.

He could feel a strange aura already entwining around him.

When this aura reached a certain level, it would undergo a qualitative change, posing a danger.

"It seems that I'll have to use Evil-Extinguishing Talismans every day."
