A Mortal's Story of Cultivation into Immortality

"I killed the cave spirit, but do you know anything about the true origin of this thing that possesses it?" Han Li looked calm and did not directly answer the question of the man surnamed Gui. Instead, he asked a question.

Hearing Han Li's question, the faces of the man named Gui and Xianxian changed slightly, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

"Brother Han, do you have any doubts? You might as well tell me!" Xianxian said slowly after being silent for a while.

"It's nothing, it's just that when this thing was about to die, it actually claimed to be the incarnation of the Demon Lord from Beyond the World. What do you two fellow Taoists think about this?" Han Li showed an understatement.

"The Demon Lord from Beyond the Heavens!"

"impossible!"

This time, Xianxian and the man named Gui almost exclaimed in unison, and showed frightened expressions at the same time.

"Oh, this is the first time I have heard of this demon king from outside the world, but the two fellow Taoists seem to understand the anomaly. I wonder if you can shed some light on Han." Han Li raised his eyebrows and looked directly at the two of them.

The man surnamed Gui snorted coldly, with a gloomy expression on his face, as if he had no interest in saying anything.

After the Crystal Clan woman hesitated for a moment, she explained with a slightly open mouth:

"Brother Han, the Outer Demon King, should know that the Outer Demon Lord is the top-level existence among the Outer Demon Lord. They generally incarnate into tens of thousands, and they are true spirits and other beings who encounter this level of demon king to invade their minds when they go through tribulations. One accidentally They can all be demonized and become puppets."

"Even true spirits cannot be avoided!" Upon hearing this, Han Li's eyes darkened.

"Not only are they true spirits, I heard that even the immortals in the true immortal world may be controlled by demons when they encounter the devil from outside the world. Of course, this matter is only rumored. No one has seen whether it is true. But Brother Han said This acupuncture spirit is controlled and possessed by the demon from outside the world, but is that true?" Xianxian smiled bitterly, then couldn't help but confirm again.

"Why, Fairy Xian thinks that I am lying to you with my lies." After Han Li heard the true origin of the Demon Lord, he was shocked and his thoughts were changing, but his face remained calm as he replied.

"Why would my little sister think so? It's just that this matter is not trivial, so I have to..."

"I think there's a good chance that what he said is true."

Before Xianxian could say anything else, the man surnamed Gui, whose eyes were gloomy for a moment, interjected expressionlessly.

"What does Fellow Daoist Gui mean by this?" Not only Han Li was a little surprised, Xianxian also asked softly with her beautiful eyes focused.

"Hmph, don't pretend to be confused. I don't believe you. You haven't discovered the weirdness of this cave spirit. You should know very well that creatures in the world such as cave spirits cannot be possessed and controlled by ordinary beings. Even you and I can't. This is possible. And what this thing said before, that it has killed several of us, is probably not a lie." The man surnamed Gui replied coldly.

"Even so, how could it know about the Zhenling Cave and the origin of Zhenlin, and wait here for help?" Xianxian shook her head and retorted.

"It's not easy to guess this. Maybe when the incarnation of the Demon King from Outer Heaven broke into this world by chance, he accidentally swallowed a being like you and me who escaped back then and knew where this place is. It may also be a coincidence. First, I bumped into this place and controlled the cave spirit, and then only by devouring other people who found this place did I know what happened to me." The man surnamed Gui said gloomily.

"If you say this, it is somewhat possible. But whether it is really the case. We will not know until we find out. If I remember correctly, the bodies of the creatures that have been possessed by the demon army will eventually turn into demons. Dust. Even though this cave spirit has a strange body, it is not immune to it." Xianxian said while looking down with her beautiful eyes.

When Han Li heard this, he looked down curiously.

After looking at the results, I couldn't help but be shocked.

The remains of the strange face, which were clearly gray and white before, turned into a pile of black ash at some point, and lay quietly on the ground below.

It took a lot of effort for Han Li to finally see some of the original appearance of the strange face from the black dust, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Naturally, the other two people also noticed this situation.

The Jing Clan woman didn't say anything, just sighed softly, while the man named Gui raised his hand and grabbed the void below.

Suddenly, a cloud of black ash turned into a line of black smoke, which was caught in the man's hand and he looked at it carefully.

"Yes, it is indeed demonic dust." The man named Gui's eyes flashed. After a while, he threw away the black ash in his hand and said calmly.

"It seems that what Brother Han said is true. This acupuncture spirit is really controlled by the incarnation of the Demon Lord from outside the world. No wonder it is so difficult to deal with. The two of us fell into its trap unknowingly before and almost died at its hands." Come on, little sister, I really want to thank Brother Han for his help." Xianxian chuckled lightly, her eyes rolled down, and she thanked Han Li.

"It's nothing. I was lucky enough to be able to kill this demon. This demon is really weird and difficult to deal with." When Han Li recalled the previous situation where the man in black robe transformed into an immortal body in the strange face, the corners of his mouth twitched. , I felt quite fearful in my heart.

"This must be natural. This is because the acupoint spirit has no physical body and cannot be truly transformed into a demon to exert its magical powers. Otherwise, the supernatural powers of the Demon King from Outer Heaven are almost as powerful as those of the true immortals in the spiritual world. Even if it is transformed by it The existence that controls the demonization is also extremely terrifying, and it is definitely not something we can deal with now. However, its incarnation was killed by fellow Taoist Han, and I am afraid it will not give up easily. If fellow Taoist can really survive the catastrophe of ascension in the future, this demon will most likely still be around. I will personally interfere." A cold light flashed in the man's eyes, but he said these words.

"The calamity of ascension! Hey, I won't even think about something so far away." Han Li chuckled, as if he wasn't worried at all.

"Okay. Now that my fellow Fiber Daoist and I have cleared up your doubts, shouldn't it be time to mention the source of the true lin?" The man named Gui sneered and mentioned the ultimate purpose of this trip again. .

"No matter what the source of the true lin looks like, I haven't seen anything in the body of the cave spirit." This time, Han Li replied directly and straightforwardly.

But upon hearing Han Li's words, the man named Gui's expression darkened. The beautiful girl Xianxian wrinkled and looked thoughtful.

The strange thing is that neither of them showed any expressions of surprise, anger or suspicion.

Han Li narrowed his eyes and felt a little strange.

"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Gui?" The Jing Clan woman suddenly smiled and asked the man named Gui.

"Fellow Daoist Han indeed does not have the fluctuations of Zhenlin's origin. This thing and we are originally from the same body, and there is no way to use treasures and restrictions to hide our induction. Naturally, he did not lie. But when we fought with the cave spirit before, both I sensed the original existence of the cave spirit." The Lone Star man spat out each word.

"So, Brother Gui and I have the same judgment." The expression on Xianxian's face suddenly turned pale.

"That's right. Since Fellow Daoist Han did not obtain the origin of Zhenlin, then with the death of the cave spirit, the original existence will either disperse on its own and return to the earth. Or it will still return to the original cave of the true spirit. As long as it waits for the next cave spirit to Only when you are born can you get this thing again." The man surnamed Gui looked extremely sinister.

"If it's the first one, we'll naturally have no chance. But if it's the second one, we'll just have to wait for hundreds of years." The Crystal Clan woman reluctantly said.

"Oh, there is such a thing. Do you two Taoist friends have a way to know what kind of situation it is?" Han Li felt something in his heart after hearing this. He touched his chin with his arms and couldn't help but ask.

"Of course there is no way. The first type has no trace at all, and the second type has no way to get to the ground." The Crystal Clan woman murmured.

When Han Li heard this, he was equally disappointed. After all, the original power may help him advance to integration. If you say this now, doesn't it mean that even if the source of Zhenlin really still exists, you will have to wait hundreds of years before you can hope to get it?

However, even if the man and woman didn't look like they were lying, he certainly wouldn't really believe them.

Immediately his eyes flashed with blue light, and at the same time he released his spiritual thoughts, and the escaping light circled and danced nearby, and began to explore everything nearby.

As a result, after he carefully searched everything within a few miles, he couldn't find any clues. He could only fly back in frustration, and landed next to the other two people again.

Seeing Han Li's unwillingness, Xianxian and the man named Gui naturally became more convinced of Han Li's previous words. The three of them fell silent for a moment, thinking about their own thoughts with different expressions.

For the girl Xianxian, this trip was naturally a complete failure, and one can imagine her frustration.

The man surnamed Gui was relatively calm, but his eyes were flickering as he was thinking about something else.

"Hehe, it seems that this trip was in vain. Fortunately, I am a parasite with the body of a silver dragon, so I can wait for hundreds of years." The man surnamed Gui seemed to have figured something out, and suddenly laughed.

"You have the body of a silver dragon. Even if you wait for so many years, you can still hit the holy level and higher existences. And if I wait for hundreds of years, even if I get the true Lin origin, I may not have time to completely refine and use it. I'm practicing." Xianxian had a complicated expression.

"Since you know this, why don't you just give up, or merge with me and become one body?" When the man named Gui heard this, he said with a strange light in his eyes.

"Of course it's possible to merge with your spiritual thoughts. But if you give up your mind and let me take the lead, I will agree immediately." The slender dark eyebrows raised, and her face suddenly darkened.

"Hmph, if you don't eat the toast, you will have to drink wine as a penalty!" Hearing this, the man surnamed Gui suddenly had a fierce look on his face. He clenched his hands and a faint blood suddenly emanated from his body.

"What, do you think Fellow Daoist Gui can handle the joint efforts of Brother Han and me at the same time?" Xianxian's heart shuddered, but a hint of evil appeared on her beautiful face.

"Fellow Daoist Han, are you going to get involved in this matter? If you are willing to just turn around and leave, Gui will definitely thank you later!" A cold light flashed in the eyes of the man surnamed Gui. After scanning Han Li's body, he suddenly said.
