Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

"found it!"

"In front of us is the heavenly road leading to the main hall. By taking this road, we can explore the greatest secret of this place!"

"The mysterious legend of the immortals is right before our eyes..."

A young man clenched his fists, his muscles bulged exaggeratedly, and his eyes were full of eagerness.

If Jiang Yue were here, he would definitely recognize this person. He was Wang Qiwu who had traveled with him on the giant airship.

He was not traveling with others at this time. There were a few people beside him. Apparently they met by chance in this Immortal Ruins, and then chose to form a team. The group was led by Miao Xingyu, who had the highest cultivation level. After exploring for a long time, they finally saw this "Heavenly Road".

So far, the Xianshenxu has been open for just over two months, and it has been half a month since they entered. This exploration progress is not slow.

In front of them, nine palaces rose from the ground and soared into the sky, like nine ancient beasts lying dormant. The palaces were all built of black crystal boulders, each of which was engraved with the lines of time and mysterious runes, reflecting the faint light under the sunlight, showing its simplicity and heaviness. The flying eaves and brackets were like the fangs of a beast, majestic and imposing, and the glazed tiles were shining with golden light, like a flowing galaxy.

Above the temple, a huge sun was hanging in the sky, shining brightly, dispelling all the haze. Its light penetrated the clouds and turned into countless golden threads, covering the temple with a sacred robe.

As the halo flows, one seems to hear the whispers of time and the chanting of sages. The palaces and the sun shine as if connecting heaven and earth, creating the most shocking magical spectacle in the world. It makes people feel awe when they look at it, and they dare not speak loudly for fear of disturbing the gods in heaven.

The lingering fairy charm makes people yearn for it.

"There is actually a sun in the sky here. Although it is not as good as the outside world, it can be regarded as a world of its own."

Looking at the "sun" emitting light above the majestic palace, Miao Xingyu thought to himself, what kind of method is this!
No wonder this place is not completely dark, there is still some light, but it is covered by fog most of the time.

Having come this far, they clearly haven’t reached the end.

Only by passing through this illusory "Heavenly Road" before your eyes can you be qualified to enter the hall.

The road to heaven is like a dreamy ribbon winding from the earth to the sky. Its starting point may be the top of a mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, or the depths of a mysterious and quiet ancient forest.

The road surface was shimmering, as if inlaid with tiny stars. Every step you took was like stepping on the Milky Way, splashing with starlight. Along the way, spiritual plants were swaying and exotic flowers were blooming.

Going further up, the fairy charm becomes thicker and thicker, and wherever you look, there is flowing light, like a dream.

Until the end, a huge door reaching the sky appears faintly, and the strong light shining through the cracks in the door shows that behind the door is the supreme divine realm that is longed for by the world.

This road cannot be walked on foot alone.

It is restricted by rules. If you do not meet the conditions set by the rules, you will not even be qualified to take the next step.

"Ten out of ten."

"The rules are simple, but... also cruel."

Looking at the route in front of him, Wang Qiwu's eager eyes gradually cooled.

It is inevitable to be happy about it, but we still need to calm down and face reality.

According to the rules... only one out of every ten living beings is qualified to set foot on the Heavenly Road. There are a total of 200 places this time, and in the end only 20 people will be able to take a glimpse of the hall.

With his strength at the seventh level of Jade Tower, it might be a bit difficult for him to obtain this qualification.

The way to obtain the "qualification" is actually very simple.

Kill or surrender.

The moment they entered the Immortal God Ruins, everyone had already been marked with a subtle mark, and according to the rules...

Kill one person and get a mark, or when you come to the Heavenly Road, you can give your mark to others, and when the Immortal God Ruins no longer exists in the world, you can return with them.

If you gather ten seals, you can climb the Heavenly Road and take a peek into the mysteries of the Grand Hall.

"Brother Miao, you are the strongest among us and have taken good care of us along the way. We will give you this spot."

"As long as I can return alive, the reputation of Zhenyue Martial Arts School will become famous overnight. I am not arrogant enough to think that I can climb this road to heaven."

As he spoke, Wang Qiwu turned his gaze towards the other four people and gave them a secret look.

Miao Xingyu was also an acquaintance. If they hadn't met, he probably wouldn't have been able to come here alive.

Now that the time has come to make a decision, he must step forward and set an example so that the situation will not be so awkward.

"Inspector Miao is extremely brave and powerful. This position belongs to you. It is useless for us to keep it."

"Indeed. Besides, if we don't give it away, there might be demons coveting it, which would only increase the danger."

"With this inspector escorting you along the way, I certainly can't compete for this heavenly road, just take it."

After all, everyone was a temporary team and didn't know each other very well. Once someone took the initiative to speak up, there was naturally no excuse to refuse.

Seeing that the others all nodded in agreement, Wang Qiwu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that there would be no internal strife.

"Well, I came here to explore. Since you are willing, I will not refuse."

There were five people in the team except him, and now they were all willing to give up their marks. Miao Xingyu did not refuse and bowed.

Counting these four people and my share, it should be enough...

Just walk to the Heavenly Road and call it in your heart, and it will appear before you.

Only those who have collected ten "marks" can embark on the journey and climb.

Before this, he had killed several demons on the road, and with these four people, the number should be enough.

One in ten, what a cruel screening method...

Who among those who can be selected into the Immortal God Ruins can be a weak person? But they still need to go through another screening. Only the genius among geniuses will have the opportunity to climb the road to heaven!

"Thank you for your help."

After bowing deeply, Miao Xingyu stood up, ready to summon the Heavenly Road so that everyone could make gifts.

"Once I set out on my journey, you must hide as soon as possible... there will probably be other creatures coming here."

"Once the Immortal God Ruins is over, we will be able to return safely."

Looking back at the few people, Miao Xingyu couldn't help but feel that the road ahead was difficult.

It seems that these people may be in greater danger next, but in fact it is not the case.

According to past experience, those who give up their qualifications before the Heavenly Road are the most likely to survive.

Firstly, without a mark, there is no need to worry about others coveting it, and there is much less risk of being hunted.

Secondly, those who give up the road to heaven will only seek survival and will not continue to go to those dangerous places, so the survival rate will naturally increase a lot.

Just like Wu Jingyu, the general of Yunzhou, he survived and was able to get out of the Xianshen Ruins because of this.

Those who choose to ascend to heaven...

According to the current records of the Great Zhou Dynasty, no one has been able to leave the Ruins of Immortals and Gods.

No one knows where he is going. Maybe he is dead, or maybe he stays here and will never come back.

But even so, Miao Xingyu still had to find out.

The opportunity is right in front of us, we can't just give up like this.

Even if there is a 100% chance of survival, if there is still a glimmer of hope, why not give it a try?
That is a mysterious fairy tale!
If you can get a glimpse of it, you might have a chance to find a breakthrough in this era when the gods have fallen. No matter whether it is martial arts or the way of gods, the ultimate goal is only one.

Go to the end!
The realm of immortals and gods may not be the end or the destination, but as long as there is hope of moving forward, he will not give up.

Just as a few people were preparing to move forward and reach the road that day.

Several terrifying auras appeared quietly, like a dormant beast awakening from its dormant state, or like a dormant volcano suddenly erupting. There are actually other living creatures here!
Obviously, those auras had already ambushed them, and the five of them immediately drew their weapons and prepared for battle.

"Heh, finally there's blood food delivered to our door."

"This is not a road to heaven, this is your burial place!"

"Lord Nisaki has indeed planned everything out. The power we have accumulated far exceeds that of these little human cubs."

Not long after that terrifying aura appeared, there seemed to be invisible fluctuations in the air, and several half-human, half-demon creatures emerged from the shadows.

Leading the group was a fire demon with its body ablaze. Its eyes were like the abyss of wicked fire, locking onto the main road ahead. The chain hammer in its hand was dragging on the ground, and boiling magma dripped from the cracks on the hammer, burning through the ground.

Beside it, an ice dragon disappeared, leaving only its crystal clear eyes and a cold horn. The cold air was so overwhelming that the surrounding air condensed into frost.

What was even more frightening was that a three-headed poisonous centipede crawled out, its three heads constantly turning, and highly corrosive venom dripped from its mouthparts. Wherever it passed, the vegetation withered instantly, the ground sizzled, and wisps of green smoke rose.

And high in the sky, a thunder eagle was hidden in the clouds, its claws occasionally showing flashing arcs of electricity, extremely sharp. Its eyes were like torches, and it was always ready to swoop down, paralyzing its prey with the power of thunder and lightning, and then cooperating with its companions on the ground to deliver a fatal blow.

A bloody battle is imminent.

"Five against four... No, there is also the unknown existence mentioned by the other party. It must be the one who hid his body for them. Even I can't sense it!"

Seeing the ambush revealed, Miao Xingyu frowned and thought to himself that something was wrong.

It looks like five against four, but from the fluctuations in their aura it can be determined that the opponents are all great demons with titles of nobility!

If we take into account the hidden monster leading the way, the opponent's lineup far exceeds ours.

Apart from Miao Xingyu, their team only had one seventh-level Shinto cultivator, and the rest were from Yulou. The strongest one was Wang Qiwu, who was on the seventh floor of Yulou.

"Well... these guys are quite strong, no wonder they were able to escape the encirclement and hunting."

"Don't forget, the last blow is reserved for the old poison. Now it is the only one without a spot. These few people should be able to get together."

The leading fire demon was holding a chain hammer, his flaming eyes seemed impatient, and fireworks were flickering continuously.

Obviously, the last link in the hunting plan is for these strong men to block the "prey's" hope of escape.

At the same time, it will also make them more qualified to embark on the road to heaven.

The mark will not disappear, but will be transferred with the death of the carrier. Obviously, anyone who can get here cannot be without blood on his hands.

If they gather together a little more, these five great monsters should be able to meet the qualifications and embark on the road to heaven.

And if there are more people coming later, we can even consider granting them to half-demons of a slightly lower realm.

The Thousand Demon Cave has been preparing for this Immortal God Ruins for a long time, and it’s all for today!

Through the bodies of the demons that escaped from the Immortal God Ruins, the Thousand Demon Cave was able to develop secret techniques and give birth to many half-demons like them. Their bloodlines are all connected, so they can sense something even in this place.

In this way, a hunting plan was formed. If they met humans in a group, they would kill them, and the big monsters would gather in front of the Heavenly Road to block the last hope of the remaining humans!
"If it's one-on-one, I can kill any one of these four monsters, but if they work together... they'll be tough!"

"The hidden creature is nearby. I can sense its presence, but I don't know its location... I'm afraid it won't notice me when it attacks."

Seeing this, Miao Xingyu did not rush to take action, but tried hard to sense his surroundings.

But he didn't sense any murderous intent.

Miao Xingyu felt that it was difficult to deal with the hidden power as he didn't know when it would strike.

"Please do not hesitate to use the talismans and decrees I have given you at this time."

The Shinto monk looked serious and used a golden talisman to protect everyone behind him.

"Pay attention to your protection and slowly retreat... When I have the chance, I will hide from you, but running away is not a solution after all. Perhaps you should consider..."

"Send Inspector Miao to the Heavenly Road first!"

Connected by the talisman, everyone knew what he meant. After secretly expressing their agreement, they all exerted their best to mobilize their energy and blood.

Although they cannot defeat these monsters, they may still have a chance to escape.

But in that case, if there is no other turnaround, the chance of getting a spot by killing them alone would be enough to tempt the monsters, so how could they give up so easily?

With the enemy chasing him at all costs, where can he escape to? There is a high probability that he will be caught up by the enemy and die.

It would be better if...

Find an opportunity, give the seal in your hand as a gift according to the original plan, and send Miao Xingyu on his way to heaven!

In this way, although there is one less powerful fighting force, there is also a little more vitality.

Besides…

Even if those monsters still had to fight to the death without the mark, at least they didn't get away with it.

"It's worth it to help my Great Zhou patrol envoy ascend to the Heavenly Road... Shit!"

Wang Qiwu's words came from the bottom of his heart. Faced with a powerful enemy, he certainly knew what was going on.

The other two also nodded in agreement. This seemed to be the only feasible solution now.

"Everyone..."

Miao Xingyu seemed to be hesitant to speak and didn't say anything for a long time.

He had never met these people before and they were just traveling together for a distance, but at this critical moment of life and death, they were able to have such awareness.

"The road ahead is uncertain, so we should ask it with the sword."

Without leaving any words of gratitude, he just held the sword and moved forward, and the swordsman's Dharma body appeared.

The Shinto monks protected the three people and fought and retreated. Miao Xingyu took the lead and fought the four monsters alone.

From time to time, roars echoed throughout the battlefield, like thunder rolling in the sky, deafening.

Although the demons cannot use their bodies, they can still reveal their true forms. After a short battle, the fire demon opened his mouth and sucked in countless plants, sand and stones around him. Then his body suddenly grew to a hundred feet tall, and a raging fire ignited around his body as warmth ignited.

No one knew where the old centipede had gone. The ground was churning as if it was about to collapse.

The sword moves were exquisite, and even the true meaning had been grasped, but the vitality of these monsters was so strong that, with their cooperation, Miao Xingyu was in a tough battle for a while.

"We must kill one of them quickly to have a chance..."

His figure flashed, the sword light flashed a shadow, bypassing the fire demon and heading straight for the weakest ice dragon!

But the next moment, something strange happened!
