The Terrifying Path of Immortal Cultivation

Li Qing has returned to the location he had just evaded.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"So that's it. The Blood Bone Celestial Lady was definitely manipulated. Divine Child's intention was to refine her into this blood-colored gemstone."

"The sudden attack, the breaking of the city's grand formation, all of it was planned."

"Everything was for the purpose of sacrificing the Blood Bone Celestial Lady to promote a half-step breakthrough in cultivation."

"Luring her to attack the Three Rivers City, the collapse of the formation was just a step in the trap."

"They wanted her to think she had the victory in her hands, thus stepping into the trap that had long been set."

"Such deep scheming, such intricate planning, this Divine Child's mind is truly dangerous."

Li Qing had developed a sense of wariness towards the cultivators of this world.

Shaking his head slightly, he patted the three pouches at his waist, a faint smile appearing on his face.

In the Celestial Lady Temple, he had made quite a harvest, having collected hundreds of corpses there.

There were over ten thousand Law Coins alone, along with various Law Weapons, totaling up to 30.

It was shocking to Li Qing that out of 500 Independent Cultivators, there were fewer than 30 who possessed Law Weapons.

In addition to Law Coins and Law Weapons, he also obtained quite a few cultivation techniques, all of which were at the Foundation Building level.

Some were peculiar and unfamiliar items, mostly materials.

His harvest this time was very rich, but it needed to be properly sorted and processed.

Looking at the triumphant Divine Child in the sky, and the countless farmlands around the city that had been turned into white ground, Li Qing shook his head with a serious expression. "Heh, this person is not a good character."

"For the sake of his own selfish desires, he let so many ordinary people bear the cost."

It seemed that the so-called righteous path was not as righteous as imagined.

When it truly involved interests, they hesitated at nothing to sacrifice others' interests.

"If my secret is discovered, I will definitely die."

Li Qing became vigilant, realizing that there were too few people like Huang Lao who were willing to help and had their own integrity.

He deeply exhaled and turned to find a quiet place to begin sorting out his gains from this time.

The three pouches he had snatched from the Celestial Lady Temple's treasure hall were all Law Weapons called Universe Bags.

These bags contained a huge space, a hundred times the size of the bags, capable of holding a large amount of items.

The contents of the three bags were not much, mainly divided into three types.

The first bag contained a total of 100 Essence Qi stones, all small, milky-white beads the size of a little finger.

The second bag contained various medicinal herbs of different ages, including five plants that were a hundred years old.

The third bag contained a complete set of Three Rivers Sect's spells and cultivation techniques.

This was what Li Qing was most interested in, as he had packed all the cultivation techniques and spells he had found in the Celestial Lady Temple into it.

At this moment, he took out all these cultivation techniques and recorded them one by one into the Jade Tablet.

On the jade tablet, the "All-Encompassing Heaven and Earth Mortal Dao Technique" also underwent fundamental changes.

5....

Cost: None

At this moment, the "All-Encompassing Heaven and Earth Mortal Dao Technique" had turned into a scripture, and Li Qing pondered over it.

"Foundation Building is a technique, and True Law is a scripture. It seems that each level has its unique title."

The number of spells did not change much, the biggest change being the "Devouring the Souls of Gods and Demons Mysterious Light," which could actually seize control and be reborn.

This meant that I could have the opportunity for rebirth.

"If this body in the future becomes entangled in too much cause and effect."

"Or if there is really no way to advance further, and my lifespan is exhausted, perhaps I can seize control of a disciple of the Dao and inherit their legacy."

Countless thoughts flashed through Li Qing's mind, all of which were possible to achieve.

He deeply exhaled and a shrewd look flashed in his eyes.

"My path is probably going to become wider."

His gaze fell on the Universe Bag containing 100 Essence Qi stones.

A brilliant smile appeared on his face. "Now I can advance to the peak of Essence Refinement in one step."

One by one, he took out the Essence Qi stones, and the Jade Tablet quickly began to function, absorbing the purest Essence Qi from them.

The power within his body operated frantically, and strand after strand of Essence Qi filled his entire body.

In the blink of an eye, nearly half a day had passed, and he had devoured 89 Essence Qi stones.

The Essence Qi in his body had reached its limit, and as it circulated frantically, he felt as if his body was in a furnace.

Every cell trembled slightly as Essence Qi continuously permeated into them, as if his body was undergoing a transformation.

"Body Strengthening?" Li Qing suddenly realized.
