The Terrifying Path of Immortal Cultivation

The man in the black robe slowly lifted his head, revealing a pair of slightly shimmering blood-red eyes.

"Hell is infinite."

"Sir, what would you like to buy?"

"I want a drop of human skin blood."

As he spoke, a box appeared in his hand, "This is 20 pieces of cursed-grade Essence Qi stones."

The other party calmly took the box, checked it, and nodded slightly.

"Please wait, sir."

The man in the black robe released a black paper crane from his hand, which, as if imbued with spirituality, silently flew deep into the dark alley.

After a few breaths, a figure in a black robe quickly approached the stall where Zhou Xinglong was located.

The figure held a black ink jade bottle in his hand, shimmering with the fluctuations of a prohibition.

"Here is what you wanted."

After speaking, he handed the jade bottle to the stall owner and then left the area.

The stall owner took the jade bottle and handed it to Zhou Xinglong, "Sir, this is human skin blood. Please verify it."

Zhou Xinglong nodded slightly, "I trust your Hell Blood Sea."

After that, he took the ink jade bottle and left the area.

Li Qing stood at the edge of the chaotic burial mound, and "Myriad Dao Myriad Qi Domain" had already been fully activated.

Within a radius of three zhang, he could grasp and perceive any abnormal Essence Qi, including slight movements, odors, images, and the flow of air, all of which would be depicted as a virtual yet real pattern in his mind.

He walked slowly on the chaotic burial mound, carefully probing and collecting information about the underground corpses.

He did not intend to take action today but instead carefully investigate the situation first.

He would only start cleaning up after confirming that there were no uncontrollable dangers in the chaotic burial mound.

As the King of Survival, being prepared for everything in this eerie world was the first condition for survival.

At this moment, the virtual eye in the sky was closely observing him.

However, the virtual eye was a hundred meters away from this place, and Li Qing could not perceive such distant spells.

He only had a vague feeling of being spied on.

"It seems like something is watching me," Li Qing pondered, feeling that something was amiss.

Along the edge of the chaotic burial mound, he walked inch by inch, gradually approaching the deeper parts of the mound.

The area of the chaotic burial mound was quite large, covering an area of two li, and it was filled with the bodies of those who had died unjustly.

Many wild dogs and beasts lived here, feeding on the exposed corpses.

Some of the deceased were casually buried in shallow graves, finding their final resting place in the earth.

Throughout the afternoon, Li Qing had been leisurely exploring, and he had already identified at least 100 bodies undergoing mutations.

Mutated bodies did not necessarily emerge immediately; they could lie underground for decades or even centuries.

Only those mutated bodies close to the surface were easily attracted by the yang energy on the ground, breaking through the soil.

Most mutated bodies would remain deeply buried until they turned into zombies.

Li Qing could clearly sense mutated bodies within a range of one to three zhang underground, beyond which he could no longer perceive them.

In just one afternoon, he had discovered several abnormally dangerous areas, harboring a terrifying threat underground.

Although it was just a feeling, he had no intention of approaching those areas.

The virtual eye in the sky had been observing him all along, and at this point, Li Qing had roughly determined where the observer's power was, even though he did not look up at the sky.

"Heh, if I guess correctly, it should be that person—Zhou Xinglong, or someone related to him."

"Why does he harbor such animosity towards me? Is it simply because I confronted him at the entrance of Jixia Academy?"

"Those who can enter Jixia Academy are not so foolish. The only possibility lies in the position of the wandering inspector."

"This position is crucial for him and his father."

Li Qing pondered, as a modern person who had experienced the information explosion era, he had a habitual understanding of many conspiracies and tricks.

By focusing on the essence and beneficiaries, he could often clarify the direction.

"Should I test it out?"

"Hehe."

Li Qing smiled faintly and left the area, quickly returning to Longdao City before the sky completely darkened.

The moment he stepped into Longdao City, the eerie feeling of being watched from the sky disappeared.

A smile appeared on Li Qing's lips, "Indeed, someone is keeping an eye on me."

"Let me see what you're up to."

Li Qing turned into a dark corner and quietly changed his appearance.

When he reappeared, he had already left Longdao City through the west gate.

After leaving Longdao City, he entered a nearby small forest and quietly employed the "Limitless Escape Technique," instantly diving underground.

When he reappeared, he was near the chaotic burial mound.

Emerging from a large tree, he activated "Myriad Dao Myriad Qi Domain" and quietly observed the direction of the chaotic burial mound.

By this time, the sun in the sky had set, casting a dim light over the world, and everything had become cool and cold.

The chaotic burial mound had also fallen into a strange silence.

As the world plunged into darkness, eerie ghostly fires occasionally rose from the chaotic burial mound, emanating from the corpses' phosphorescence.

In the chaotic burial mound, the figures of some wild dogs appeared, their green eyes searching for tonight's meal.

From the direction of the official road, a Daoist figure slowly approached.

The person was dressed in a black robe, revealing no trace of breath.

Li Qing activated the "Sun-Moon Divine Vision Technique," seeing through all obstructions and illusions.

He saw the true face of the newcomer, who turned out to be none other than Zhou Xinglong.

At this moment, Zhou Xinglong quietly approached the chaotic burial mound.

After advancing about 50 meters, his eyes shimmered with a black and white radiance, as if searching for something.

Soon, he found his target—a mutated body lying three zhang underground.

Zhou Xinglong took out a bottle from his sleeve, a bottle of dark green.

He slowly opened the bottle, inserted it into the soil, and then left the area.

Li Qing observed quietly and saw a strange black blood flowing out of the bottle, as if being drawn into the earth.

It landed on the mutated body, which began to undergo a bizarre transformation.

Plop, plop.

Strange limbs began to grow on the mutated body, and an eerie murmuring sound echoed in the wind.

The voice was like a lament, seemingly expressing something, yet also wailing in pain.

A hint of horror appeared in Li Qing's eyes as the monstrous limbs extended and spread outwards.

"What is this thing trying to do?"
