Who Taught You To Cultivate Immortality Like This?

Chapter 112: Entrusted by Others, Loyalty to the Task [Seeking Subscriptions]

It was about seven to eight thousand years ago when the witchcraft path was at its peak and flourishing. At that time, the leader of the witchcraft path was the Gu God Clan, and there were also Apex Level forces like the True Witch Tianmen that could rival the Seven Sects.

Because the witchcraft cultivators were united, the overall strength of the witchcraft path far surpassed that of individual Immortal Gates.

Later, during the Great Dao Era eight thousand years ago, the witchcraft path began to decline, and it continued to decline until the last Great Dao Era, reaching its lowest point.

The cultivation world is the cruelest, and the witchcraft path, which is no longer glorious, naturally cannot occupy the best cultivation resources. All witchcraft cultivators migrated to the southernmost region of the Central Divine Continent.

The natural environment there is harsh, with dense miasma, and witchcraft cultivators can only survive and reproduce there.

This time, the southernmost region of the Central Divine Continent is also called the Witch Land, where only witchcraft cultivators reside.

Just like in this Great Dao Era, when auspicious signs descended, only a pair of Gu God Clan Gu Gods descended in the entire Witch Land, and their luck still did not stand.

Of course, this is only on the surface. Now, no one can say for sure whether there are other forces in the Witch Land that have received auspicious signs.

If a non-Transcendent Level force can receive great luck, the auspicious signs that descend are often silent and not known by many.

Perhaps this is a "protective measure" of Heavenly Luck.

Otherwise, if it can be easily detected by other forces, as long as the Five Sects and Seven Sects join forces and push aside those forces that have received auspicious signs, wouldn't the country be forever stable?

But obviously, this is impossible. Rising and falling depend on the luck of each sect, and the cards are reshuffled.

From this perspective, the appearance of the cultivation world on the Divine Continent has always been positive.

Because the so-called class barriers are very difficult to form, every time the Great Dao Era descends, there will always be dark horses that emerge and rise to the top of the food chain.

This is the true charm of the Great Dao Era. The world is uncertain, and both you and I have the possibility.

However, this process is naturally bloody. When someone rises, someone falls, and the fate of the falling force can be imagined.

Just like the Five Sects and Seven Sects that are currently united on the surface, as long as one force declines in this Great Dao Era, the other forces will directly change from allies to those who share the spoils.

After understanding the Divine Ability, Xu You collected his thoughts and focused on rushing to his destination.

When the sun was setting, Xu You arrived at a secluded village with almost no spiritual energy.

This is the northernmost region of the Jiuyou County, with a large plain and no spiritual veins. Large areas are devoid of spiritual energy.

Therefore, only a large number of common people live here, farming for a living.

Very few cultivators survive in this area. If there are any, they are only low-level cultivators of the First Realm or Second Realm, serving as guests for the landlords and living a carefree life.

Xu You cautiously looked at the village. The village was peaceful, and cooking smoke could be seen everywhere.

Xu You stopped in a forest outside the village, clasped his hands, and a black cloud slowly appeared and rose into the air. This was the communication technique of the Heaven Splitting Sect.

Soon, Xu You sensed a Five Realm cultivator rushing towards him, and in an instant, he appeared in front of him. It was the other Five Realm cultivator of the Heaven Splitting Sect, Lei Ze.

When Lei Ze saw that the person who had come was Xu You, his face immediately changed, and he looked at him with extreme vigilance.

"I am here on the orders of the Sect Master to deliver something to you. It is the core inheritance left by the Perfected Being, the founder of our sect." Xu You casually threw the book left by the Perfected Being to Lei Ze.

"Entrusted by others, loyalty to the task. I have given you the item, so the matter is settled. Farewell."

After speaking, Xu You directly boarded the flying boat and prepared to leave.

"Xu Young Hero, please wait. May I ask how our Senior Brother is doing now?" Lei Ze asked.

"He was killed by those two demonic cultivators," Xu You replied.

Lei Ze's face darkened slightly, although he knew that Lu Tianming had no chance of survival.

"May I ask why it is you who came to deliver the item?" Lei Ze asked.

"I can't disclose the specifics, but in any case, the journey is long and dangerous. Take care of yourselves and consider fleeing to a foreign land." Xu You clasped his fists and bid farewell.

"Wait a moment, young hero." Lei Ze called out to Xu You again, his expression changing a few times before making a decision that went against the ancestors.

"I, the founder of the Heaven Splitting Sect, Perfected Being, was once a core disciple of the True Witch Tianmen. This means that this inheritance is also one of the core inheritances of the True Witch Tianmen's Great Dao."

"I only need to transcribe it and it will be given to you, young hero."

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Xu You looked at the other person in confusion. "Do you think I have already seen it? Xu is an open-minded person. I haven't looked at this book at all, and I have no interest in Gu Dao."

"That's not what I mean," Lei Ze shook his head. "As the inheritor of the Kunlun Immortal Sect, naturally you wouldn't be interested in Gu Dao. But this is not an ordinary Gu Dao."

"There are many branches of Gu Dao. The founder of our sect practiced the Cultivating Gu Great Dao, which means choosing only one life Gu worm for a lifetime. It grows synchronously with its owner, with a telepathic connection and obedient control. The founder traveled throughout the Divine Continent and finally chose the Gu worm that was most suitable for this Great Dao to grow together."

"The Yin Erosion Gu. This Gu excels in spatial escape, appearing and disappearing without a trace. After cultivation, its Divine Ability is ever-changing, and its combat power is extremely astonishing."

"The Yin Erosion Gu is currently rare in the Divine Continent, almost extinct. The founder was fortunate enough to obtain two young eggs after spending decades, one of which he personally refined."

"The remaining one has been passed down to this day, unrefined by anyone, and now I am giving it to you, young hero."

Saying that, Lei Ze took out a pitch-black thumb-sized black egg and handed it to Xu You.

Xu You didn't take it, just frowned and looked at the other person.

Lei Ze explained further, "The Cultivating Gu Great Dao is one of the most peaceful Gu Daos, suitable for dual cultivation. Young hero can focus on cultivating the Gu nurturing part, although the final strength of the Gu worm may be weaker, it will not affect your own Great Dao."

With this Yin Erosion Gu, it is bound to be of great assistance to you, young hero."

"What is your intention in giving me these two things, which are the foundation of your Heaven Splitting Sect?" Xu You asked.

Lei Ze's face darkened slightly. "Now, what is the difference between the Heaven Splitting Sect and a fallen sect? If I rely on myself alone, I don't have the confidence to pass down the Heaven Splitting Sect."

"At that time, what use is there for treasures, no matter how precious? I dare to ask young hero to lend a helping hand to the Heaven Splitting Sect in the future when your Great Dao is achieved or when the sect is in danger."

"Of course, this help is within the scope of young hero's abilities."

Xu You's brows slightly relaxed, understanding Lei Ze's intentions.

The Heaven Splitting Sect now only has a few cats and dogs left, while he himself is like a big thigh. Although his current strength is weak, his background and growth potential are there, and Lei Ze can be considered as investing in advance.

"Do you trust me so much?"

"Young hero has entrusted me, traveling a long distance to deliver our sect's inheritance to me. Such a righteous act, Lei Ze naturally believes that young hero is a righteous and open-minded person, willing to trust young hero." Lei Ze clasped his fists heavily.

For Lei Ze, this decision is the best he can make now, even though before, Lu Tianming planned to eliminate Xu You and the other disciples of the Immortal Gate.

But now that things have failed, he has also paid the price of his life.

What Lei Ze needs to do is not those so-called impulsive actions, but to pass down the Heaven Splitting Sect's inheritance, so as not to let Lu Tianming's sacrifice be in vain.

And being able to turn hostility into friendship with Xu You, and even establish a closer relationship, is something he desires.

Xu You's current demeanor and character are enough for him to take this gamble.

Xu You pondered for a moment, and finally nodded. "That will do, but I can't make any guarantees. I can only say that I will help within my abilities."

"In that case, the entire Heaven Splitting Sect thanks young hero." Lei Ze's face brightened, immediately making a copy of the book in his hand, and then handing the original and the Yin Erosion Gu egg to Xu You.

Xu You calmly accepted these two things.

Just as he was about to put them away, Lei Ze suddenly extended the index and middle fingers of his right hand and forcefully inserted them into his own eyes.

His eyes were forcibly plucked out, blood and tears streaming down.

Then, he formed hand seals with both hands, slapped his own heavenly spirit cover with his right hand, and a painful expression appeared on his face, with suppressed roars in his throat.

Xu You's face changed drastically, but he couldn't stop it in time.

"What are you doing?"

After a moment, the pain on Leize's face slowly dissipated, and he casually threw away the two eyeballs in his hand. Then he smiled and said, "Heaven Splitting Sect is indeed a branch of the True Witch Tianmen. Previously, when the ancestral teachings were not found, they could barely survive. But now the core teachings of the ancestors have appeared in the world. If True Witch Tianmen learns about this, it is highly likely that Heaven Splitting Sect will no longer be allowed to exist in this world. I dare not guarantee when they will come knocking on our door.

Now, all I can do is destroy my own eyes and sever all the information about this book from my soul. Of course, I will also erase everything about the young hero, so that no one can find anything about him through my soul."

To be honest, Xu You was very shocked at the moment. Leize's decisive actions greatly impressed him. It was rare for Heaven Splitting Sect to be able to achieve this level. Xu You admitted that he himself would not be able to do this, but it did not prevent him from admiring those who could.

Severing the soul is extremely detrimental to one's foundation. It can cause severe injuries that may not heal, or even destroy one's cultivation and greatly reduce their strength.

It can only be said that both Lutian Ming and this Leize have left a deep impression on Xu You. Even a small sect has its own pride and faith.

He is a true man.

"Elder Lei, rest assured, in the future, if Heaven Splitting Sect needs help, Xu will do his best." Xu You once again clasped his fists solemnly.

"As long as you send a message to Vermilion Bird Peak with the words 'Lei Tianlie', I will know what it means and will contact you."

"Thank you, Junior Xu." Leize, with tears of blood, clasped his fists gracefully. The reason he did this was also to completely gain Xu You's trust. "Junior Xu, I have to go now. Before all traces of these two matters disappear from my soul, I have to give some final instructions."

"Alright." Xu You stood still, watching the desolate figure of the other person.

Under the current situation, small characters like them cannot create much of a wave in the vast sea. But it does not prevent this wave from shining brightly when it blooms.

Leize fled the village all the way and finally arrived at a huge cave at the fastest speed.

At this moment, all the core disciples who had escaped and some elders with cultivation at the Four Realms were gathered here.

When they saw the miserable state of Leize, they couldn't help but gather around, each with their own words.

"Quiet, listen to me. From now on, there is no unified destination. Everyone will split into five teams and go in different directions. It's up to you to judge where to go. Remember, from this moment on, each of you bears the responsibility of carrying on the legacy of Heaven Splitting Sect. Stay alive and pass it on.

Be low-key outside, don't reveal your origins, lie low and wait for the right time. The overall situation of the world is about to change drastically, which is also the best opportunity for us."

Leize's orders were unquestionable and carried absolute authority. The elders immediately led their own teams of disciples and left.

"Xiao Li, you stay." Leize left behind a young girl and his tone became gentle and kind.

The girl named Xiao Li was dressed in black and had witchcraft makeup on her face, but it was not difficult to see the outstanding features hidden beneath.

"You are the most talented disciple of Heaven Splitting Sect in thousands of years. The sect leader has always had high hopes for you, and only you can bear the responsibility of revitalizing Heaven Splitting Sect.

Now I have three things for you to remember for the rest of your life."

Leize took out the book and handed it over. "First, the Great Dao of our ancestor should be passed down by you. This is the most core and complete Great Dao left by our ancestor.

From now on, you should focus on cultivating this Great Dao. With your talent, you will surely surpass the previous generations."

"The second thing is, after leaving here, you should travel alone and not trust anyone. Go to the core area of the Witch Land, which is under the jurisdiction of the Gu God Clan.

After that, you should focus on cultivating there, avoid making enemies, and not reveal your strength in the Great Dao. If necessary, you can eliminate threats without letting anyone know that you are cultivating this Great Dao."

"The third thing is, if you encounter any troubles in the future that you cannot solve or if it involves life and death, go to Kunlun Immortal Sect and send a message with the words 'Tian Lie' to Vermilion Bird Peak. Someone will come to help you."

"Remember these three things, remember them well."

"I will remember, Senior." The girl's voice was crisp, and she hesitated as she looked at Leize. "What about you, Senior?"

"I have other things to do. Time is of the essence. You go now. Remember, your own safety is the most important. Be careful."

Leize said as he supported himself with his right hand, and a gust of wind sent Xiao Li out of the cave.

The girl looked at the light outside with a dazed expression, then glanced back at the cave. She knelt down and bowed lightly, then solemnly put away the book and left stealthily.

Inside the cave, Leize let out a long breath. The tears of blood on his face had already dried up.

He sat cross-legged directly in place, and the thoughts in his mind about inheritance and Xu You finally completely dissipated, leaving no trace.

As the sun set and the moon rose, and then the moon set and the sun rose again.

When the sun rose on the second day, Lei Ze remained motionless in his meditation posture.

Suddenly, there was a slight ripple in the air.

Then a golden insect emerged from it, carrying two people on its back. They were the two elders of the True Witch Tianmen who had appeared on the ruins of the Heaven Splitting Sect before.

The two elders looked coldly at Lei Ze below.

Lei Ze, who had lost his sight, finally slowly moved his body and looked up at the two unexpected guests.

He couldn't see them, but it seemed like he knew who they were. A smile appeared at the corner of Lei Ze's mouth as he felt the sunlight falling on him.

He no longer hesitated, extending his hands. He slammed his right hand on his chest and his left hand on the location of his divine mansion. In an instant, he perished, both physically and spiritually.

The two elders of the True Witch Tianmen were somewhat astonished as they looked at Lei Ze, who fell to the ground. They hadn't expected Lei Ze to suddenly take his own life, so decisively.

However, the two of them remained calm. One of them reached out and took the body, forcibly gathering the dispersed soul of Lei Ze.

Then, they immediately used secret techniques to search Lei Ze's soul.

After a moment, the person slowly put away their Divine Ability, their face turning pale as they casually threw Lei Ze's body in front of the mouth of the golden insect beneath them.

The golden insect, with its sharp-toothed mouth wide open, swallowed Lei Ze's body in one bite, emitting a chilling chewing sound.

"Did you find anything?"

"No useful information. His soul is damaged, and some of the information has been completely erased."

"If we can't find those two demonic cultivators, the sect will have paid a great price to divine the hiding place of the remnants of the Heaven Splitting Sect, but gained nothing."

"Who could have expected that the cultivators of the Heaven Splitting Sect would be so stubborn. But I think he was able to do this either because of his connection to the True Witch Tianzhu or because he obtained the complete inheritance of the Great Gu Perfected Being. Either way, it is of utmost importance. I think the latter is more probable, as the True Witch Tianzhu should not be on this person."

"The Great Gu Great Dao involves the sect's top secrets. With the arrival of the Great Dao era, the Great Gu Great Dao will be the foundation of our sect. It must not be lost."

"What should we do next? The True Witch Tianzhu is a divine pearl, and its location cannot be divined. Now all the clues have been cut off. Where should we start?"

"Keep an eye on the disciples of Kunlun and Sword Sect who were present that day. In addition, continue to divine the locations of other remnants of the Heaven Splitting Sect. Keep tracking the whereabouts of those two demonic cultivators."

"That's all we can do."

The two of them stopped talking and the golden insect beneath their feet once again disappeared into the void. The cave returned to tranquility.

Vermilion Bird Peak.

Xu You stretched lazily in his own Dao hut, basking in the warm morning sun. He had no idea that Lei Ze had just died tragically after they separated yesterday.

He also had no idea that he was now involved in some hidden matters of the witch world in a different way.

Even more so, he had no idea how important the True Witch Tianzhu in his hand and the inheritance of the Great Gu Perfected Being were to the True Witch Tianmen.

At this moment, he held the black Gu egg in his left hand and flipped through the Gu Breeding Scripture in his right hand.

This was Xu You's first contact with the path of Gu, and it was the core Gu Great Dao that was extremely difficult to comprehend.

To be honest, it was like reading a heavenly book, completely incomprehensible. He had no understanding of the various professional terms inside.

After reading it for a while, Xu You gave up on the idea of delving into it for now.

If he insisted on studying it, with his intelligence, he could spend a lot of time and still not fully understand it. But that would be missing the forest for the trees.

At present, he should focus on his own Great Dao. How could he spend a lot of energy on the path of Gu? Xu You was very clear about this.

I recommend a book by an old friend, a harem author. It's very good. If you're interested, you can go and take a look.
