The Quest for Immortality

Fourth Grade Feather Transformation, Fifth Grade Heaven Void, at this level the cultivators’ telekinesis is already very strong, but such ”strength” is only strong in terms of ”quantity”.

This ”quantity” does not involve ”qualitative” change, nor involves ”laws”.

Some terrifying evil spirits and demon monsters, unlike cultivators, are innately endowed with certain ”laws” in their telekinesis.

The so-called pollution of evil spirits, in essence, is also a manifestation of the ”law” of telekinesis.

Apart from ”pollution”, the telekinesis of evil spirits also includes ”corrosion”, ”corruption”, ”parasitism”, ”devouring”, ”control”, ”assimilation”... and other terrifying changes infused with the power of laws.

All these are the precious Divine Way knowledge summarized and recorded by the Mystery Valley, successive generations of Heavenly Mechanism Cultivators, after experiencing, observing, tragically dying, being polluted, transformed, assimilated, and slain in the world of evil thoughts and in powerful nightmares.

This is the most terrifying aspect of evil spirits.

Furthermore, the more troublesome aspect is that whether an evil spirit contains the power of ”pollution” or other filthy powers of law, cannot be seen on the surface and there is rarely any pattern.

A strong Fourth Grade evil spirit might be merely a conglomeration of grievances, difficult to kill as it may be, but once killed it is killed, and its grievances disperse into heaven and earth, leaving no future trouble.

Yet a Second Grade small ghost might be innately possessed of ”parasitic” power.

Unless from the very start, a significant effort is made to completely annihilate it earnestly, once parasitized by it, even a Feather Transformation could turn into a ”blood bag”, with this small ghost pecking at divine sense daily.

Of course, the divine thought of a Feather Transformation is so strong that even after a long period being devoured by a small ghost, they might not feel it.

But once truly ”brain-sucked” by a small ghost year after year, the divine sense will gradually become deficient, harming its origin.

Eventually, one day, when the small ghost grows to a Third Grade or even a Fourth Grade Fierce Ghost, it will instantly become a deadly ”evil tumor”, causing even Feather Transformation to perish.

All these are summaries of the heart and soul of successive generations of cultivators in Mystery Valley.

The battle against evil spirits is not merely a confrontation of Divine Thought ”strength”, but also a stern test of the Taoist heart, willpower, determination, and vigilance.

They can kill ten thousand evil spirits.

But if they get polluted by just one evil spirit, it’s over.

Because of so many worries, True Man Situ and his group moved with extreme caution, and equally slowly.

They killed many evil spirits, but killing these evil spirits not only didn’t ease their minds, but instead made them more worried.

Because with every evil spirit killed, it meant their divine thought was consumed a bit more.

And, had these evil spirits truly ”died”?

On the surface, it seemed they had indeed killed the evil spirits.

But in reality, they themselves were not sure whether they had truly killed them.

Even more unsure were they if their primordial spirit had been inadvertently polluted after killing these evil spirits.

At first, they wouldn’t think about these things.

But the darker it grew around them, the more evil spirits they killed, the more their primordial spirit was depleted, the greater the mental pressure, and the stronger the self-doubt within their minds became.

The Red Gold Cup, Beidou Seven Stars Formations, and various divine thought treasures could dispel external malicious thoughts and evil spirits, but they couldn’t protect the human heart.

Human nature has weaknesses, and deep within the human heart there are many flaws as well.

Under such high pressure, the flaws of the human heart are magnified little by little.

True Man Situ quickly realized this, noticing the blemishes in his heart, and the shaken expressions of others, he immediately said with a firm voice:

”Guard your Taoist heart!”

This shout woke everyone up a bit, each employing spells, restraining themselves, and dispelling the gloom within. .

The cultivators on the path of Divine Thought all have firm Taoist hearts, or persistent thoughts.

At the very least, they are much more steadfast than ordinary cultivators.

Thus, everyone continued moving forward.

The surrounding environment remained dark and perilous.

Blood streams, flesh swamps, bone forests, evil nests were scattered everywhere, and still various obstacles like ghost faces, spider insects, and bone demons blocked their way, making each step dangerous.

But they gritted their teeth and moved step by step, killing one after another, regardless of anything, advancing bit by bit into the depths of the nightmare.

As they didn’t know how many slaughterings they had been through, when divine thought was nearing numbness, finally, a towering Black Mountain stood before them.

The intense evil god aura, like black mist, emanated from the mountain.

Barbaric Wilderness, the last Evil God Mountain.

”We made it!”

True Man Situ felt a thrill in his heart, almost in disbelief.

If it weren’t for his steadfast Taoist heart, hanging by a thread, persisting through gritted teeth, he would have almost thought that they couldn’t possibly have made it here.

But before True Man Situ could relax, the air before him filled with sinister energy, accompanied by a chilling roar.

Before the Evil God Mountain, a huge evil spirit as large as a small mountain slowly emerged.

Upon seeing it, everyone’s expression changed.

This large evil spirit is Fourth Grade, nearly at the peak of Fourth Grade.

The body of the evil spirit is like a small mountain, stitched together with different human and monster beast limbs, like a thousand corpse evil spirit, cruel and terrifying.

”Mountain Guardian Spirit...”

And this might also be the largest, and final Mountain Guardian Corpse Spirit before the Evil God Mountain.

The Mountain Guardian Corpse Spirit exuded a powerful and putrid aura, and corrosive black water flowed from its mouth.

True Man Situ said in a deep voice:

”Kill it...”

Then immediately, he activated the Six Yang Red Gold Cup, emitting a scorching light that enveloped the Mountain Guardian Corpse Spirit.

The golden-red light shone on the corpse spirit, instantly emitting white smoke.

The Mountain Guardian Corpse Spirit let out an ear-piercing scream, piercing at the divine soul.
