Ultimate Evolution

"Uh... sorry, I got a little emotional and lost control for a moment... I'm fine now!"

Li Fan sat within the magic array of the Middle Valley Dojo, patting his chest as he explained.

However, the bloodstains outside Lingqiu Mountain had not yet dissipated, and the mountains and fields were covered with sword marks. The sand and stones looked as if they had been painted with red paint, and the stench of blood still wafted into the valley on the wind. No one else cared what he said.

Therefore, Li Fan can only stay alone in the Demon-Suppressing Tower of the Middle Valley Dojo for the time being.

Outside, Real Person Huang sat at the head, with the other four Zhenren sitting around him on all four sides. The five Zhenjun arranged a formation around the Demon-Suppressing Platform at its core.

Standing outside the tower, Fuling comforted her, "Qingyue, it's alright. The Real Persons are just being cautious. Everything will be fine after tonight."

Li Fan smiled and nodded at her, then waved goodbye while holding the Jiaotu sachet in his hand.

Then two people pushed the iron gate and closed the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

The door closed, the light disappeared from between his brows, Li Fan lowered his head, letting out a helpless sigh.

Ugh... How embarrassing... I've lost control...

There's really no excuse; it's just that I made too much money, got carried away with the killing spree, and lost control for a moment, going berserk.

Moreover, probably because he received the double buff from the Great Tribulation and was killing too happily, while also devouring the flesh and blood of demons, Li Fan broke through on the spot.

Yes, at that time, in order to maximize the benefits and quickly clear the map, but not to use the evil energy method to destroy the mountain base of Lingqiu Mountain, Li Fan took the opportunity to push the Qiankun Flying Dragon Sword to its limit and broke through the Wuji Nascent Soul Stage!

After all, there's no need for him to specifically hold back his cultivation level and wait for someone to join him, is there? Since waiting won't work, he might as well just let things take their course.

Li Fan hadn't expected that his breakthrough to the Limitless Nascent Soul Stage would not only fill the last gap in his cultivation, but also trigger a chain reaction of explosive chemical reactions!

The Qi Sea, capable of truly bearing the True Breath of Nascent Soul Stage, simultaneously elevated the operation of the Supreme True Yang Technique to a new level! If Li Fan's True Yang Dao Fire was originally just a small flame on a pile of firewood, now the Limitless Nascent Soul Stage is like a strong wind fanning the flames, spreading the fire and igniting the entire forest!

The most direct reaction was that Li Fan's Tai Su Dao Body was infused with too much true Qi at once, so much so that when Li Fan used the Qiankun Flying Dragon Sword, even the Tai Su Dao Body spontaneously took shape and transformed!

Li Fan quickly scrolled through the system's records to find out exactly what had happened.

' Li Fan broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, cultivating the Limitless Nascent Soul Stage, increasing his mood cap by 1200 points.'

' Li Fan's Carp Dao Body (Black) has evolved, breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, and his mood cap has increased by 200 points.'

' Li Fan's Carp Dao Body (Black) has undergone a super evolution, breaking through to the Golden Core Perfection stage, and his mood cap has increased by 500 points.'

' Li Fan's Carp Dao Body (Black) has undergone ultimate evolution, breaking through the Nascent Soul Realm to become the Kunlong Dao Body! His mood cap has increased by 1200 points!'

' Li Fan's Carp Dao Body (White) has evolved, breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, and his mood cap has increased by 200 points.'

' Li Fan's Carp Dao Body (White) has undergone a super evolution, breaking through to the Golden Core Perfection stage, and his mood cap has increased by 500 points.'

' Li Fan's Carp Dao Body (White) has undergone ultimate evolution, breaking through the Nascent Soul Realm to become the Dry Dragon Dao Body! His mood cap has increased by 1200 points!'

'Li Fan's current mood: 9k/22.7k'

Damn it... anyone can handle this kind of rampage!

This level of upgrade is really like the "I'll kill you all when I've mastered my divine skills!" kind of setting! It's perfectly normal to lose control and almost take off, okay?

Okay, let's think about it calmly. Actually, this Qiankun Yiqi Divine Pill was given to us by the system for free. In a sense, it even used Li Fan's body to cultivate. Since Li Fan didn't need to operate it himself, it's understandable that it would occasionally go out of control.

Now, the two fish in the system have successfully transformed into human form, and the structure of their Nascent Soul Stage bodies is now perfect.

Now that Li Fan has the foundation of True Yang Technique, is surrounded by a mountain formation that gathers the spiritual veins of Lingqiu Mountain, and has the flesh and blood provided by these tens of thousands of demons, with such an abundant supply of Dao Qi and evil energy, in fact, all the joints from top to bottom are already prepared.

Actually, it's always been just one step away.

Li Fan never seriously or proactively, or rather, deliberately avoided, taking that step alone.

He's crossed it now.

Regardless of how you overcame it, now that you've broken through the mental barrier, naturally, there will be no more obstacles on your path. Things will fall into place, like a great river flowing into the sea, or a dragon soaring through the clouds.

"I never expected my hair to turn white; premature graying..."

Strictly speaking, it was silver. Li Fan cut off a strand of silver hair to examine it and could feel the boundless immortal power contained within it, truly comparable to the Wanyu Silk. Strictly speaking, this should be considered 'Limitless Dragon Beard,' right? If I run out of talismans in the future, I can shave my head...

But it's not a big problem. He has just broken through, and his true energy has not yet dissipated. It is normal for his body to have some abnormalities.

By observing the situation within his primordial spirit 'Qi Sea, Li Fan could see that a shimmering silver ball of light had appeared inside his primordial spirit's abdomen. The ball of light was spinning rapidly, trailing a vortex-like silver star spiral, looking just like a galaxy cluster. It was stirring up disordered baleful energy, true essence, and Dao Breath, which were rotating in an orderly trajectory, constantly developing and growing stronger.

Thus, under the framework of the True Yang Dao Fire in his heart, the Limitless Star Cluster in his abdomen, and the three Epiphyllum flowers on his head, Gui Xu Yuan was also rapidly taking shape at a speed far exceeding that of the past, quickly transforming the original smoky, pixel-like primordial spirit into a 'human'.

Okay, that should be fine. We just need to wait for the primordial spirit to complete.

The True Yang Dao Fire has now upgraded from a flame to a raging inferno. Now, Li Fan only needs to "fuel" it in the Taiji Realm, and "add fuel" it by Moon Worship when the evil energy is insufficient. Previously, he estimated that it would take about fifty years to reach the Divine Transformation, but at the current speed, it should only take about a year. By the standards of the Taiji Xian Dao, Li Fan can rightfully call himself "Lord Qingyue," right?

However, while his physical body's primordial spirit is progressing so smoothly, what about the other side?

So Li Fan used his Pure Void Primordial Spirit to take a look and found that the battle on the other side of the Northern Qiongqi clone was already in full swing!

Yes, think about it, two salted fish suddenly leaped into dragon form! And they were Nascent Soul Stage level dragons! How could a true dragon submit to a vicious tiger? So, a fierce battle between dragons and tigers immediately broke out in the Divine Court! Three Nascent Soul Stage ferocious gods fought each other to the death!

Qiongqi was truly in a bad situation. It turned out that Li Fan had been keeping Qiongqi at the bottom of the sea, programming those Nascent Soul Stage robots. He was so dizzy from programming that he almost vomited. Suddenly, he was ambushed from behind by two dragons and was put at a disadvantage in a two-on-one fight.

Unfortunately, its ally, Guiche, recently suffered a setback, having its head gnawed off by Taotie. Its head hasn't even fully grown back, leaving it weak and listless. Not only can it not help, but it's also in grave danger! This is because the Five Mountain Gods and Gonggong finally found an opportunity and joined in the rebellion! The demons seized the opportunity to besiege Qiongqi!

Thus, the two ferocious Guiche, Qiongqi and Guiche, formed one camp, Gonggong and the Five Mountain Gods formed another, the Qiankun Twin Dragons formed a third, Kun watched from the sidelines, and the Black Lotus had already been killed... The demons thus engaged in a chaotic massacre! In the Divine Court, the battle raged fiercely, darkening the sky and causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere!

It was literally a scene of carnage, with flesh and blood flying everywhere. Since no single primordial spirit held an absolute advantage, the physical body of the 'Daoist Qiongqi' had lost its human form and transformed into a blurry mass of flesh. The faces and claws of various wild beasts and demons rolled and writhed within the flesh, shrieking and howling like vengeful ghosts! If this weren't beneath the deep-sea ice, people would probably be terrified to death.

How tragic... However, Li Fan discovered that after the Black Lotus Primordial Spirit was torn apart and devoured by the out-of-control demon gods, he also lost a tiny bit of power. In this light, this 'Qingyue's physical body' is not only Li Fan's true form, but also the body of those demon gods. Although his mind was divided, whatever happened to 'Qingyue' would still be reflected in the demon gods' primordial spirits over there.

Therefore, although Li Fan could continue to cultivate using the Tai Su Transformation, he could also use the Tai Su Demon God's Dao Body to overlay data, and then use the white baleful energy in the gourd to help him banish the demon gods that were generated into his clone to suppress them, thus avoiding the risk of these demon gods backlashing when his main body was seriously injured.

However, this method is merely a shortcut and will not fundamentally sever the connection between each part of the primordial spirit and the original Dao body.

On the contrary, if he were to encounter a perilous situation like the Azure Dragon incident again, and Gonggong's primordial spirit were to be directly annihilated, his Gonggong Dao Body would also perish, significantly reducing his combat power. While Li Fan's physical body could still grit his teeth and reshape itself, his Tai Su Dao Body did not possess the ability to resurrect. Once dead, they were dead. Even if Li Fan were to cultivate the Gonggong Dao Body again, it would only be a mere imitation of its appearance, lacking the cultivation, power, destiny, and karma he had previously accumulated.

In this light, he also needs to be careful to protect his clone of Daoist Qiongqi, lest it be killed by someone, otherwise his Tai Su Transformation Technique might also be broken.

Of course, it doesn't really matter even if it's broken. Now, Lou Guandao Lou Guan the three secret techniques of Returning to Emptiness, Limitless, and True Yang. He can also deduce the old-fashioned Human Race body-refining Cultivation Method of the Immortal Venerable lineage. Moreover, he has the invincible weapon of the Tai Sha Sword Embryo by his side. He is no longer like before when his strength was weak and he needed to rely on the demon god transformed by Tai Su to take shortcuts and build up his combat power.

Moreover, these Primordial Demon Gods are all formidable opponents. If they are not suppressed and given the opportunity, each of them could create a major event like the arrival of Tai Su Dao Ancestor, such as the Beast's Child.

To be even more ruthless, considering the performance of Mo Shan's whole family in fighting against Xinghua, the upper limit of Mo Shan's combat power is really not enough to see. If they are killed, they will be some wild monsters. In a real fight, the mountain master will still have to rely on Gang Fist...

If this were a game, the output capability of the Mo Shan Liu style wouldn't even rank among the top in Li Fan. With so many hidden dangers, it's only good for getting through the early and mid-game; it should be eliminated in the late game.

However, despite these many drawbacks, Li Fan thought about it and felt that he still couldn't give up cultivating the transformation of the Ink Mountain.

If we consider it purely from the perspective of cultivation, Li Fan estimates that with the current cultivation speed of the Supreme True Yang Technique, he could become invincible if he stayed in seclusion for a hundred or two hundred years.

But his goal isn't simply to ascend to immortality! What's the point of him alone ascending to another world to fight cruisers?

The fundamental solution is to enable as many people in this world as possible to ascend to immortality, but even with the Ink Mountain Method, there are very few people in this world who can master it!

Lou Guan's Three Skills and the Sword Sect's Tai Sha Sword Embryo are even more difficult to cultivate, even Li Fan himself finds them challenging. Even the Immortal Venerable's Dual Cultivation Manual probably wouldn't be widely adopted. After all, it talks about cultivating together and progressing together, but in essence, it's just about exchanging resources. Cultivating a Dao Body at the level of an Immortal King or Empress still relies on having the resources of a Heavenly Treasure to provide the necessary cultivation resources.

If we were to find a new method that could be promoted in the Tai Su world and that most mortals could cultivate, we would still have to rely on the Tai Su Transformation Path of Mo Shan. Only by thoroughly understanding the Mo Shan Path could we refine the Tai Su Transformation Method to be in accordance with the times and nature, so that, while not perfect, the success rate would at least exceed 50%.

After all, things really needed to be accelerated. Li Fan could clearly see that the demons were adapting to the changing seasons far faster than the Human Race. Those 'Chi' were the primordial spirits cultivated by the demons. Logically speaking, the Demon Race of the Taiji Realm had already had its lineage severed by the Immortal Venerable. But if they hadn't escaped from the Luo Feng Immortal Prison, it meant that the demons had probably already found the Demon Race's Tai Su cultivation method...

Therefore, Li Fan could not stand idly by and watch his precious research subjects kill each other, their heads bleeding and their bodies broken. He immediately arranged for the Blood Infant Devil Embryo to come out and clean up the mess.

Blood Infant agreed, then pounced on the group of demons who were all badly injured and beat them mercilessly. He tore off a large chunk of flesh from each demon and swallowed it, finally making these guys realize who the real boss was. They all calmed down and shrunk into a corner.

The clone's flesh and blood also fluctuated, eventually transforming into a blood-red giant infant, giggling as it grabbed the Nascent Soul Stage robots and continued programming them, as if playing with figurines... At least it suppressed the turmoil on the clone's side, so it's alright.

After sitting like this all night, Li Fan calmed down, sorted out his scattered true qi, stabilized his foundation and body, and emerged from seclusion.

In order not to frighten others, Li Fan had restored his beard, hair, and pupils to their normal black color. After calmly accepting the examination by Real Person Huang and the others' Divine Sense, the quarantine was considered over, and he was released from the Demon Suppression Tower.

"Greetings, Mountain Lord"

Upon stepping onto the stage, he cleared the area, instantly killing two Divine Transformation stage demon kings, and devouring all the demons surrounding the mountain, leaving only a pool of blood and not a single scrap of flesh. Which junior would dare to act recklessly then?

All the disciples of Ink Bamboo Mountain and the group of demon hunters in Middle Valley Dojo bowed in submission, not daring to utter a sound. Fuling and Chen Asha were already waiting for him outside the Demon Suppression Tower.

"Qingyue, I'm so glad you're alright." Seeing Li Fan emerge unharmed, Fuling breathed a sigh of relief, smiling as if admiring her promising younger brother. "It's been a few years, and your cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. You no longer need our protection."

How could that be? It's all thanks to Fuling that we didn't make a terrible mistake this time.

However, there are many things that Fuling doesn't need to worry about. After all, her aptitude is really just that of an ordinary mortal. She has always been by Wangshu's side and has certainly received no shortage of Heavenly Treasure, but breaking through to the Golden Core realm is already her limit.

If he can't find a way out for mortals, then one day, Fuling might disappear from his side...

Li Fan scratched his head and laughed heartily as if nothing had happened.

"Haha! Of course! Sister Fuling, don't worry, if any demons or monsters dare to offend you in the future, just tell me, and I'll wipe out their entire family! Hohoho hahaha!"

"Greetings, Senior Brother."

Chen Asha had also reached the Golden Core realm, but she hadn't changed much. Although she had grown taller, she still looked like a country bumpkin, with two braids and an ordinary appearance. She didn't bother to learn how to dress like Fuling, and her braids smelled strongly of yams. She was still holding the trash sword that Li Fan had casually given her in Lei Marsh, and several bags were tied around her waist, filled with bottles, jars, herbs, and talismans. The black snake was still wrapped around her right wrist.

This black snake was Chen Asha's natal Gu, and it reached the Golden Core realm along with Asha. A golden talisman appeared on the snake's head, and golden patterns appeared on its body. It remained obedient and still, looking like a leather bracelet.

Li Fan glanced at it and could tell that the snake was fed with Divine Hardness qi. In addition to this natal Gu, there was a large red-bearded, red-backed spider crawling on Asha's hair, and a grass basket on her back containing a black-skinned, blue-eyed horned toad the size of a Chihuahua.

These two were probably also exotic species she found in the Ten-thousand-mountains. One was likely to follow the Crimson Fiend, and the other the Dark Underworld. Both were intended to be used to refine her into her natal Gu.

It should be by collecting five natal Gu (a type of magical insect) to form some kind of external Tai Chi cycle, thus breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

This Cultivation Method isn't bad; it's somewhat similar to the clone technique of Tai Su, and it's not too slow. Also, judging by the calluses on Asha's hands, it's clear her swordsmanship training over the years hasn't slacked off. However...

"Asha, you'll never get a boyfriend if you keep going like this."

Chen Asha was initially quite Gao Xing to reunite with Li Fan, but she couldn't help but glance at him sideways, saying, "That's no need for you to worry about that, Senior Brother."

"Lord Li, there are some things we still need to discuss."

Originally, Li Fan wanted to chat with the two girls a little longer, but then he saw that Master Real Person Huang and several other Nascent Soul Realm cultivators had dispelled the magic array and were waiting for him on the side. Li Fan was somewhat taken aback.

Before he knew it, he had risen from an unknown ordinary disciple to a member of the management circle of Ink Bamboo Mountain.

"Okay, here you go, Asha. See which one you like. Your senior brother will come to check your homework later."

Sister Fuling, I don't have anything good on hand. This Thunder Seal is broken and needs repairing. Oh, this brick is alright, and here are some pills for you to use for self-defense.

Oh, right, I also took in two servants. I got carried away with the killing just now, and I don't know if they're alive or dead. Could you please help me look for them?

So Li Fan didn't care whether Fuling and the others accepted them or not, he directly sent out a bunch of useless magic treasures and pills, emptied his Storage Jade, and went to have a meeting with the old men.
