Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

Half a month later.

The Crimson Centipede lay motionless on the hilltop for several days.

But Lin Changsheng sensed that the demonic power within the insect was surging and undergoing a tremendous change.

A large amount of pure spiritual energy gradually gathered overhead, but it was unusually restless.

This is a strange phenomenon in the heavens and earth caused by the Crimson Centipede's imminent breakthrough to the second-tier demonic insect level.

Lin Changsheng was filled with anticipation.

At this point, the Crimson Centipede's breakthrough process is more than halfway complete.

Such an astonishing commotion could be faintly felt even from several miles away.

Before long, a sharp cry suddenly came from the sky.

A giant gray eagle-like bird flew over, flapping its powerful wings.

With its sharp claws pointing towards the ground, the Crimson Centipede attacked!

A fierce glint flashed in his dark eyes.

Peak first-tier demonic bird, Sky-Splitting Eagle!

They wanted to take advantage of the Crimson Centipede's breakthrough to launch a sneak attack.

Lin Changsheng stood guard over the spirit insect, naturally prepared to deal with it.

Seeing the ferocious bird attack, a cold glint appeared in Lin Changsheng's eyes, and he activated the cyan magic talisman in his hand.

Immediately, more than a dozen invisible wind blades condensed and flew over at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

Wind-attribute spells are the most effective way to deal with these incredibly fast birds.

puff!

puff!

puff!

Several muffled thuds were heard.

The Sky-Splitter was struck by several wind blades, interrupting its attack. Its massive body swayed in the air for a moment before taking off again.

Many of its bodies were stained with blood, and its gray feathers had been knocked off and were scattered in the air.

The Sky-Splittering Eagle hovered in the air, its eyes greedily fixed on the motionless Crimson Centipede below, filled with longing.

But upon seeing Lin Changsheng holding a spirit crossbow beside him, he felt an extremely strong threat.

Wild demonic birds have extremely strong senses and, knowing that this human is very difficult to deal with, can only watch helplessly as they miss out on this feast.

After circling for a moment, it reluctantly flapped its wings and flew away.

Not long after, another group of human cultivators appeared nearby.

After sensing the area, no Foundation Establishment cultivators were found among them.

The highest cultivation level is only the eighth level of Qi Condensation.

Lin Changsheng felt relieved.

Before long, the group of cultivators followed the strange phenomena caused by the Crimson Centipede's breakthrough and found their way over.

"It's actually a peak first-tier demonic insect!"

"This is... an advanced phenomenon!"

The cultivators looked surprised, and at the same time, they quickly spotted the figure near the Crimson Centipede.

"Get out of my way and stop disturbing my spirit pet's advancement!"

At this moment, Lin Changsheng changed into a black robe and disguised himself as a burly middle-aged man with a fierce appearance.

Among the newcomers, there were three cultivators at the eighth level of Qi Condensation and two at the seventh level of Qi Condensation.

The group looked around to make sure the burly man was the only one there. They exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion.

Lin Changsheng noticed the exchange of glances between the group and felt a chill run down his spine.

It seems that after realizing they were alone, these people had some wicked thoughts and wanted to pretend to be a cultivator.

In the Wanfeng Mountains, it is quite common for even honest and upright rogue cultivators to have malicious intentions when they encounter a lone "easy target".

"Fellow Daoist, you are fortunate that your spirit insect has actually advanced to the second rank. None of us have ever seen a demonic insect advance before. May we stay here and observe from afar?"

"Yes, fellow Daoist, we will absolutely not disturb this demonic insect's normal advancement."

The two young men at the eighth level of Qi Condensation were speaking, and they tried to get closer to each other in a friendly manner.

"Good words can't persuade the damn ghost!"

Lin Changsheng sneered and looked at the group without expression.

At the same time, a stack of spell talismans appeared in his hand, which he decisively activated and unleashed.

A burst of icy blue cold air instantly erupted from the small talisman.

These people never expected that the cultivator in front of them would be so fierce, daring to attack the five of them alone without even knowing whether he was friend or foe.

By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late.

Three of them reacted faster and were only affected by the cold air.

But two of them were frozen solid.

Lin Changsheng leaped out, striking like an arrow released from a bow.

Bang!

Bang!

A black iron halberd was swung out, shattering the two ice sculptures into dust.

Glistening, blood-red ice shards covered the ground.

"A body-refining cultivator!"

In the blink of an eye, two people were killed.

The remaining three stared blankly at Lin Changsheng, who resembled a ferocious beast, their faces somewhat grim.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't misunderstand, we have absolutely no ill intentions!"

"Please stop here, fellow Daoist, we'll leave now!"

Seeing that this person was not someone to be trifled with, the three quickly began to explain.

"I'm sorry, gentlemen, since we've already formed a grudge, you might as well all embark on your journey together!"

Lin Changsheng was too lazy to waste words with the others, and another stack of magic talismans appeared in his hand.

"go with!"

Ice Condensation Talisman, Bone Corrosion Talisman, Wind Blade Talisman.

With the use of several special spells, the three people in front of them immediately suffered greatly.

Immediately, Lin Changsheng activated his silver wheel magic weapon, continuously bombarding the three of them.

The crossbow, with its sharp, clattering sound, continuously fired magical arrows.

Finally, a delicate cyan magic talisman appeared in Lin Changsheng's hand.

Quasi-second-tier 'Hurricane Symbol'!

After activation, a tornado several meters high suddenly condensed in front of him, containing countless small wind blades.

As the hurricane continued to move, sand, stones, and dead leaves were swept up and shredded into dust.

In the blink of an eye, it swallowed the three of them.

After being cut down by a fierce wind, the three gradually lost their lives and were never found.

"Do your own fault, don't live."

Lin Changsheng casually collected the storage bags left behind by the group without any emotional fluctuation.

Under normal circumstances, when someone else's pet advances to a higher level, the owner is usually in a state of high tension.

If there are no other intentions, in order to avoid misunderstandings, they will generally stay far away.

These people approached with ulterior motives, shamelessly.

To avoid them resorting to desperate measures and disrupting the Crimson Centipede's advancement, Lin Changsheng decided not to waste words with them.

Since there are no outsiders here, there's no need to worry about appearances.

……

Three days later, Lin Changsheng drove away several more monsters that wanted to plunder him.

The Crimson Centipede finally advanced to become a second-tier demon beast.

But before the demonic power within him could stabilize, he fell into a deep sleep under the influence of the medicine.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Changsheng used his skills to reinforce the restrictions within the Crimson Centipede's body, preventing the insect from devouring its master.

To help the Crimson Centipede stabilize its cultivation level, Lin Changsheng deliberately stayed in the Wanfeng Mountains for an extra month.

After advancing to the second tier, this insect became even more violent, and during the period of being free-range, it completely unleashed its ferocity.

After advancing, the Crimson Centipede's ability to burrow underground improved, allowing it to roam freely throughout the Wanfeng Mountains, hunting and killing monsters.

They even went to the territory of several other second-tier demonic beasts to provoke them.

This allowed Lin Changsheng to witness its ferocious strength.

Despite only being a beginner in the second tier, he was able to hold his own against early-stage second-tier monsters.

Its hard shell, internal toxins, and ability to burrow underground give it a significant advantage.

Seeing the astonishing strength of the Crimson Centipede after breaking through to the second tier, Lin Changsheng was overjoyed.

Now that he has the second-tier Crimson Centipede and the second-tier spell talismans he has prepared, even though he has not yet advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, he is still able to deal with some early Foundation Establishment cultivators.
