Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

#442 - Conquer the Flame Fairy of the Insect Nest

Li Chengfeng, with unwavering conviction, began to sit in a meditative posture, contemplating his gains.

From slaying the Nine Profound Ancestor to encountering the finger bone and the painting of heaven and earth, clarity had always resided within his heart.

However, he dared not be distracted during battle, and now was the opportune moment to comprehend.

He seemed to transform into the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, unleashing powerful techniques. After a short while, he was drenched in sweat, lamenting his ultimate failure to achieve the union of Buddha and Demon.

He shook his head, but this enlightenment greatly benefited his cultivation.

Without hurrying to the Ksitigarbha Temple, he refined another Substitute Puppet.

During the half-year of baptism in the blood cocoon, he not only consolidated his cultivation but also successfully refined five Substitute Puppets, all with Core Formation stage strength.

Now, wielding six Substitute Puppets, his confidence soared.

As a cultivator in the early Core Formation stage, he was already considered in the middle ranks in the Human Realm. As long as he didn't encounter a Nascent Soul stage powerhouse, Li Chengfeng would be safe.

However, major forces such as the Evil Dragon Clan and the Demon Clan were eyeing him covetously, so he had to act cautiously.

Li Chengfeng stood up and stretched his limbs, preparing to plan his cultivation path in the early Core Formation stage.

Although he had a plan in mind, he decided to first assist the monk Jingxin and then comprehend and deduce a suitable cultivation method for himself.

The Wanfa Guiyi Technique he cultivated required him to explore, deduce, and comprehend on his own with each advancement, which was as difficult as ascending to heaven, but it also made his strength astonishing and unmatched among his peers.

Subsequently, he went to Green Kael, wanting to get a glimpse of the true appearance of the insect nest.

At this time, the Spirit Flame Fairy Kang Wei was sealed, without any temper, sitting quietly in the courtyard, silent.

Green Kael slowly walked over and sighed softly, "Senior Sister, why bother? I advised you back then not to follow the Nine Profound Ancestor but to escape with me and pursue your own path. Wouldn't that have been better? But you have ended up in such a state."

The Spirit Flame Fairy glared and rebuked, "Bah! You dog thief, what bewitching potion did that Li Chengfeng bastard feed you?

What future is there with him? My choice of the Nine Profound Ancestor, what kind of person was he, once the pinnacle existence in the Human Realm!

You follow that Li Chengfeng, insidious and cunning, a smiling devil. You will be killed by him sooner or later!"

Green Kael said helplessly, "Senior Sister, if you don't listen to my advice, my master's methods upon his return are not something you can withstand.

I am also concerned about you."

"You care about a fart! You're just shedding crocodile tears, feigning kindness. If you really cared about me, you would secretly release me.

But rest assured, that thief won't be coming. When I return, it will definitely be the Nine Profound Ancestor who welcomes me. My master's methods are heaven-shattering, and no one has been able to kill him for ten thousand years. A mere Li Chengfeng, what kind of dog is he? I don't believe he can do it."

Seeing this, Green Kael sighed. He knew the Spirit Flame Fairy Kang Wei's stubbornness and prejudice but couldn't help but persuade her again, "Senior Sister, why be so stubborn?

The Master has treated me well, giving me resources and freedom, allowing me to advance rapidly on the path of cultivation.

And the Nine Profound Ancestor you speak of, is he really as powerful as you think, and will he really care about your life and death?

Those existences at that level often only focus on their own interests and power. To us little people, we are just disposable pawns."

However, the Spirit Flame Fairy Kang Wei seemed to be blinded by anger. She couldn't listen to Green Kael's persuasion at all, just staring fiercely at Green Kael, as if to devour him alive.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Get out of here! I don't need your hypocrisy! If you really want what's best for me, then undo the restrictions on my body. As for that Li Chengfeng, he's just a clown. My master will surely kill him easily!"

Just then, a white-clothed figure strode in. He had an otherworldly temperament, like a celestial being descending to earth, but his eyes contained endless depth and change, as if he could see through everything in the world.

This person was Li Chengfeng. His sudden appearance shocked the Spirit Flame Fairy. She suddenly sat up and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth, "Impossible! You dog thief is not dead!"

Then she hysterically shouted, "Li Chengfeng! Don't be complacent!

My master will not let you go! His methods are beyond your imagination. You can't even imagine his power!

Just you wait and see! Sooner or later, he will grind your bones to ashes!"

Li Chengfeng, his star-like eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if he could see through all the illusions in the world, but he was not touched by the Spirit Flame Fairy's words.

His gaze passed over the chaos and landed on Green Kael, his tone carrying a hint of imperceptible depth: "Green Kael, your words from the past are still in my ears, vowing to kill this insect demon to prevent future troubles.

And now, what state of mind has made you feel pity for this former enemy? I gave you this insect nest, not to let you indulge in trivial emotions, but to hope that you can use its power to reach a higher level.

Since it has merged with the Devouring Gold Insect Nest, it should become a sharp sword in your hand. In the future cultivation path, it will be an indispensable experimental subject."

Hearing this, Green Kael felt mixed emotions. His expression changed slightly, and his guilt was overflowing. He lowered his head, his voice low and sincere: "Master, it was my momentary confusion. Thinking of the past, I cultivated the art of insect control with Senior Sister, and the decades of time we spent together, the feelings are hard to let go.

Although she once did evil, intending to use me to seek advancement, but after all... Alas, my heart is too soft, and I am ultimately unable to make a decision.

This weakness of character is also why Ancestor Shennian ordered me to cultivate the Shennian Insect, in order to strengthen my mind."

Hearing this, Li Chengfeng's mouth curled into a faint smile, a smile that contained both tolerance for Green Kael and a hint of profound meaning: "You have made great contributions to me, and I will naturally remember them in my heart.

But the affairs of the world are like a game of chess, each game is new. Your soft heart may not be able to protect this world completely.

If it were me, I would rather make them wish they were dead than to follow suit."

Hearing this, Green Kael shook his head and smiled bitterly, adding a bit more complex emotion to his heart. For a moment, he was speechless.

And at this moment, the Spirit Flame Fairy was furious, her voice exploding like thunder: "Li Chengfeng, you demon!

The Demonic Path is not tolerated in the world. You bewitch people's hearts and will surely be condemned by Heaven!"

Her words were not finished.

Li Chengfeng snapped his fingers lightly, and the magic trick flowed from his fingertips. In an instant, the Spirit Flame Fairy was struck by lightning, and the whole person rolled and struggled on the ground, her face full of pain, as if every inch of her skin was experiencing inhuman torture.

The restrictions on her body seemed to be suddenly activated by an invisible hand, and the strength was so strong that she almost fainted, but she woke up again and again in the extreme pain.

The Spirit Flame Fairy finally realized that Li Chengfeng's methods were far more ruthless than she had imagined. She was no longer an opponent who could be easily underestimated.

In front of this demon, no matter who it was, as long as they violated his bottom line, they would face ruthless sanctions.

In the end, the Spirit Flame Fairy collapsed in endless pain, her voice carrying a desperate plea: "Master, please, spare my life!

I am willing to make more golden insects for you, and I am willing to fully cooperate with Green Kael to improve your spirit pets, just ask you to stop this endless torment."

However, even though her words were full of obedience and begging, a hint of unwillingness and anger still flashed in the depths of her eyes.

The corner of Li Chengfeng's mouth curled into a sneer, and he waved his finger lightly, releasing the restrictions on the Spirit Flame Fairy.

She immediately felt relieved and collapsed on the ground, her whole body soaked, sweat and tears intertwined, and her body faintly showed a tendency to transform into the original form of the Devouring Gold Insect.

This scene made Li Chengfeng's heart move. He knew that the Spirit Flame Fairy had not truly surrendered, but had only temporarily succumbed to the power.

So, he slowly unfolded a scroll, and the scroll exuded bursts of chill, directly approaching the depths of the Spirit Flame Fairy's heart.

"See clearly, your Nine Profound Ancestor, who you call your master, has already been killed by me.

This Soul-Banning Diagram has also become mine. You still dream that he can avenge you and take you back? How naive and ridiculous."
