CHAPTER 77: CHAPTER 77: TWO TYPES OF SPIRITUAL OBJECTS

The terror of the Demon Insect King is beyond doubt, and its true cultivation method has long been forbidden from spreading in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Because the Demon Insect King cannot be absolutely controlled at present, its ferocious and cunning nature makes peaceful coexistence with other life impossible, and it is almost universally resisted by all cultivators and life forms.

The territories governed by Spirit Beasts absolutely do not allow the Demon Insect King to establish itself.

Even Demon Cultivators forbid the appearance of this cultivation method because cultivating such a creature purely destroys one’s own foundations.

Yet now, a Four Extremes Demon Breeding Array has appeared in Qi Ping’s land!

And it has succeeded in cultivation!

No matter how Qi Ping speculated, he never imagined that the place he had been cultivating would give birth to such a thing.

"No wonder there’s a continuous influx of Spiritual Qi coming up..."

The materials needed to cultivate a Demon Insect King are extremely precious, even a trace of Spiritual Qi spreading out is more than enough to cultivate an ordinary Tier One Spiritual Medicine.

"No wonder since the birth of the demonic insect, every third day, a batch of demonic insects would be drawn here; it must be that Demon Insect King below summoning them..."

"Fortunately, at that time, the Golden Marrow Bees were trained for the Battle Array, and later, the High-speed Ring-cutting Bees were cultivated, blocking wave after wave of coming demonic insects; otherwise, if these demonic insects led by the Demon Insect King destroyed the array base of the Four Extremes Demon Breeding Array, and let this Demon Insect King escape, the consequences would be unimaginable..."

Moreover, Qi Ping is certain that there must be something wrong with this Four Extremes Demon Breeding Array, otherwise it couldn’t have allowed the Demon Insect King the chance to summon demonic insects.

Either it is old and in disrepair, or there is a deliberate loophole left by the one who set the array.

"But this Demon Insect King clearly hasn’t awakened for long, and coincidentally, the demonic insect was born at the same time; isn’t this too much of a coincidence?"

Qi Ping feels this is not a coincidence.

Because there are simply too many coincidences like this...

The "Spirit Beast Cultivation: Demon Insect Chapter" given by Sister Nan, and the mysterious cave mansion on Peak No. 7 in Zone A...

The Secret Realm between Qingshi County and Baiyun County, where numerous demonic insects emerged...

Now, a Demon Insect King has appeared underground of the Blood Ginseng...

Combined with the appearance of the Blood Fiend Worm in Fatty Zhou’s mountain stream, the chaotic era for Tribulation Cultivators, people from the Evil Lovers Alliance mixing in with Tribulation Cultivators, the strange actions of Cyan Origin Sect...

Everything has appeared of late in these few years, turning the originally peaceful and stable Qingtian Realm into such chaos and danger!

All these factors appearing together suffice to indicate that something earth-shattering is brewing in the Qingtian Realm...

"It’s a pity I possess too little information to speculate the true undercurrents behind the scenes..."

"For now, all I can do is secretly accumulate strength, and act when the time is ripe..."

At least with the Li Fire Crow and Transformed Bee as trump cards, as long as he doesn’t get caught in the center of the vortex, Qi Ping is confident he can protect his life.

"Only now, if this Demon Insect King is not strong enough, then I’ll gladly accept it..."

Having discovered the existence of this Demon Insect King, Qi Ping absolutely won’t let such an existence escape.

Although it’s impossible to contract with this Demon Insect King, the corpse of the King Level bloodline demon insect, or the Power of Bloodline from the Demon Insect King, can be tried to transform the bee swarm when he reaches Foundation Establishment in the future...

This level of existence is not something one can buy with Spirit Stones, even Foundation Establishment Cultivators from Cyan Origin Sect likely can’t obtain such a thing.

Hence, once he procures the two corpses, they would be the best resources for the bees’ future transformation!

And besides that, those four Spiritual Origin Stone Pillars are also valuable.

The fundamental reason the Growth Land of Blood Ginseng has such dense Spiritual Qi is precisely because of those four Spiritual Origin Stone Pillars.

Spiritual Origin Stone Pillars, created from Spiritual Origin Stones, are precious materials for constructing arrays.

Spiritual Origin Stone is a companion mineral of Spirit Stone, containing extremely dense Spiritual Qi but also highly mixed, making absorption very troublesome even for high-level cultivators, hence often used for setting up powerful arrays.

Qi Ping desires those four Spiritual Origin Stone Pillars mainly to cultivate Spiritual Medicine.

According to the bees’ perception, although the Spiritual Qi consumption of these Spiritual Origin Stone Pillars is huge, given the current remaining amount, using it to cultivate Tier One high-level or ordinary Tier Two Spiritual Medicine should pose no issue.

This means, as long as he acquires these four Spiritual Origin Stone Pillars, Qi Ping need not bother renting Spiritual Land in Zone A; he only needs to rent a larger piece of Spiritual Land in Zone B to use these Spiritual Origin Stone Pillars to cultivate Tier One high-level or ordinary Tier Two Spiritual Medicine!

The remaining Spiritual Qi in the Spiritual Origin Stone Pillars can also be perfectly utilized by him!

Just this point alone is irresistibly attractive to Qi Ping.

So as long as he can ensure his safety, Qi Ping will try to acquire both the insect corpses and the Spiritual Origin Stone Pillars by any means.

Moreover, besides these two items, inside the cave, there are some items the bees cannot describe, as well as some mysterious symbols they can’t understand, stirring Qi Ping’s curiosity.

There are even records suggesting that slaying a Demon Insect King can enhance enlightenment probabilities and affinity towards Daoist Techniques...

Therefore, Qi Ping plans to eliminate the Demon Insect King and then explore the contents inside the cave.

...

"Let’s see if there’s a way to kill it while it’s bound by the Four Extremes Demon Breeding Array; now that it’s just been conceived, it’s at its weakest..."

"Regrettable that the Demon Insect Cultivation Manual lacks specific descriptions about the Four Extremes Demon Breeding Array and the Demon Insect King; I’ll have to experiment on my own..."

After pondering for a while, Qi Ping quickly devised a counter-strategy.

"Bees, you go there first in groups of ten to form a battle array, attacking the Demon Insect King with full force, see if you can hit or kill it!"

"Buzz buzz... (Yes, boss!)"

Following Qi Ping’s orders, four High-speed Ring-cutting Bees, three Ink Armor Bees, and three Highly Poisonous Bees immediately formed a battle array to attack.

He’s temporarily deploying fewer bees because Qi Ping was concerned that the Demon Insect King might swallow the bees’ power; if too many bees are sent at once, they could end up as food.

And the combination of three bee species can test the attack power, defense, flexibility, poison resistance, etc., in the state of being binded by the array...

After acquiring this information, Qi Ping can formulate the subsequent battle plan based on these data.

...

At this moment within the cave.

The blood-colored Demon Insect King struggles with its chubby body, almost astonished.

The little bees before its eyes defy its control, and now they even intend to attack it?

Can’t they feel its bloodline coercion?

Such a scenario hardly fits with its bloodline hereditary memory.

Though puzzled, it remains unafraid; though its body is bound by the Four Extremes Demon Breeding Array, it’s not something these little creatures can extort.

And maybe it was simply too distant earlier to successfully control these little creatures.

Once these little creatures draw near it, its Power of Divine Thought Enslavement will reveal its true might!
