According to Chu Hong's explanation, the Gu Master inheritance is divided into four levels.

The first level is a bug poison master.

A Gu Master at this level possesses a mature Gu worm, and can borrow the power of the Gu worm to call upon strength far beyond that of ordinary people. This is the most important threshold to cross the line between immortal and mortal.

The second realm is the Two-Insect Gu Master.

A Gu Master at this level, in addition to his own natal Gu worm, also raises a second mature Gu worm. The power of the two Gu worms will feed back into his body, and both his physical body and soul will be greatly enhanced. An ordinary one-worm Gu Master will not even have the strength to fight back in front of a two-worm Gu Master.

The third realm is the Three-Insect Gu Master.

Gu Masters at this level have already gone beyond the ordinary realm, and are capable of establishing a school and protecting the safety of a region. Moreover, the development direction of the Three Insect Gu Masters is very comprehensive, and it is almost difficult to find shortcomings in them.

The fourth realm is called the Gu King by Chu Hong.

A Gu Master at the Gu King level has at least four Gu worms on his body. The power of different Gu worms makes the Gu King almost invincible. To deal with a strong man of this level, the only way is to suppress him. Ordinary calculations have almost no effect on them.

Chen Luo learned very quickly. He finished hatching the Gu worm only moments after Chu Hong finished talking. The Gu worm he chose was the Corpse Control Gu, while Junior Sister Qi Chan chose the Desire Gu. According to Chu Hong's description, the Desire Gu was one level higher than the Corpse Control Gu, and its power would be stronger after cultivation.

This tiny difference is of no use to Chen Luo. For him, the effect of the corpse-controlling Gu is obviously better. He still has a lot of high-level corpses on him. These corpses cannot be refined into corpse puppets because of insufficient evil spirit. It's a good opportunity to try and see if they can be driven by the corpse-controlling Gu.

"Have you learned it?"

Looking at the corpse-controlling insect hatched in Chen Luo's hand, a hint of shock flashed in Chu Hong's eyes.

The difficulty of the Insect Sutra was very high. It took her more than three months to master it. But now Chen Luo successfully mastered it with just one sentence. If it weren't for the fact that the insect could identify the breath, Chu Hong would have thought that this junior brother had been possessed by someone else.

“Maybe it’s because I have a foundation.”

Chen Luo said with a smile.

He had no intention of playing the pig and eating the tiger game here. In his eyes, the Insect Sutra was not even of medium difficulty. With so many insect masters like Heipao for reference, it would only take a moment for him to learn it.

Qi Chan next to her was also stunned. She subconsciously looked at the round desire-insect eggs in her hand, then looked at the hatched insect in Chen Luo's hand, and couldn't help but began to doubt her life.

But this doubt was soon dispelled by her, because Chen Luo spent an hour learning the latter part of the Insect Sutra. Looking at the corpse-controlling insect in his hand that was growing like an inflatable insect, Chu Hong and Qi Chan were so scared that they took several steps back.

"It seems that you have already mastered the Insect Sutra. The rest of the practice depends on you." After confirming that Chen Luo had not practiced it wrong, Chu Hong kicked him out on the spot.

For the next few days, Chen Luo stayed in Zhugu.

This is Chu Hong's dojo, which has a lot of materials for making Gu. If he went outside to find them, it would take a lot of time. Now that they are ready, it will save him time. These materials were originally prepared by Chu Hong for the two of them. Now Qi Chan has not yet entered the sect, so Chen Luo can only use them for the time being.

Learn early and dig graves early.

Now his natal Gu is a corpse-controlling Gu, so he has an excuse to dig graves later.

The days are very peaceful.

Half a month after practicing the Insect Sutra, Qi Chan finally got started.

This time Chu Hong did not keep them any longer, and the two of them left Zhugu.

Outside the valley.

Qi Chan was wearing a light green dress. A large group of servants driving carriages were waiting outside. When they saw Qi Chan coming out, they quickly stepped forward and helped Qi Chan take the things in her hands. Some of them even brought her meat to feed the poisonous insects.

"Brother, no one is here to pick you up?"

Qi Chan was a little surprised.

The Gu Masters in this world have long been accustomed to a life of superiority. Their daily travels are handled by special servants. Gu Masters like Sima Mo who like to be alone are often classified as having eccentric personalities.

"I'm not used to wasting time."

Chen Luo was not used to this kind of life. He was used to flying in the air and did not like wasting time. He was even less used to the hobbies of the Gu Masters in this world. If he had the time, he would have flown back to his residence long ago.

"Third Brother has bad habits."

Qi Chan smiled and gave a reminder.

Gu Masters do not exist alone, especially low-level Gu Masters, who need to grow grass, cultivate spiritual flowers, and hunt insects, all of which take a lot of time. Contacting these people below is an opportunity to give them loyalty, and a means of consolidating power.

Qi Chan was not the only one doing this, Senior Sister Chu Hong and Second Senior Brother Zhong Shan were also doing this. Even though there were not many people living where they lived, there were countless people serving them in the city outside. Second Senior Brother Zhong Shan was able to detect the news of "Tide" so quickly, which was inseparable from the reports of these subordinates.

"Practice well."

Chen Luo did not argue with her about this matter. After leaving a word, he turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky. Qi Chan withdrew his gaze and his expression became indifferent. Seeing this, the other servants quickly returned to the carriage and carried Qi Chan away slowly.

Behind me, the bamboo valley slowly disappeared into the mist and into the mountains.

The days back in the mountains were peaceful.

Raise insects every morning and practice Qigong at night.

Chen Luo assigned some odd jobs to the three disciples he picked up, and taught them a few small magic spells, and then continued to practice the Insect Sutra.

Inside the secret room.

The spiritual power polluted by the outside world was affected by the power of the insect sutra and gathered towards his body like a stream of water. In the eyes of the practitioners in this world, this was a sign of spiritual power improvement, but in Chen Luo's eyes, his clone was approaching an unknown existence at an extremely fast speed.

Along the long bluestone street, icy cold air flows along the ground.

At the end of the street, a shadow more than three meters tall was dragging a huge reef and moving slowly forward. The friction between the stone and the ground produced a lot of sparks.

The figure's movements were stiff, and he exuded a strong chill. The red lanterns on the street illuminated his face. This was a monster covered with black scales. His feet were not like those of humans, but the most common webbed feet among amphibians. The most exaggerated thing was his back, which had six sharp barbs. These barbs looked particularly creepy under the light of the lanterns.

"Master Shrimp?!"

A trembling voice came from the pavilion next to him.

"The tide is coming."

Some people were so scared that they fled from their positions.

"Don't move!"

A voice of shock and anger came from behind, but it was too late. The scale-armored monster walking on the street paused, rolled its white eyes twice, and suddenly reached out to grab the coral reef in its hand and threw it towards the source of the sound.

The reef quickly grew larger after it was released.

But in the blink of an eye, it turned into a huge mountain and pressed down on his head.

boom!!

There was a loud bang.

The wooden pavilion was instantly smashed into powder, with wood chips flying everywhere. The person who had spoken earlier didn't even have time to scream before he was smashed into a pulp by the reef. Dozens of figures flew out of the pavilion, each of them glowing with a layer of spiritual light, and fled to the periphery at the fastest speed.

This group of people are all Gu Masters. The news of the upcoming tide has spread. These well-informed Gu Masters sneaked here just to kill two fish monsters before the tide arrives, get some benefits, and find an opportunity to break through the realm. But they never expected that the first person to come ashore would be 'Master Shrimp'.

'These fools!'

Sima Mo was also in the crowd, and he was the first to escape.

He had already fled the building the moment those people exposed their positions. In fact, his decision was correct. His action of taking a step ahead saved him from disaster.

boom!!

When Mr. Shrimp in the back smelled the blood, a sick expression appeared on his face, and his mouth was like that of a silver carp, split to his ears.

He caught up with several Gu Masters who were unable to escape, and swallowed them before they could react. Blood continued to drip from the corners of his mouth. The blood drops fell on the bluestone floor, making a "tick-tick" sound.

"Why so fast?!"

Sima Mo's face changed, and his body exploded like smoke, and dense white moths flew away. Screams came from behind. These Gu Masters were not weak, but they were obviously inferior to monsters like Mr. Shrimp.

Black Crow Valley.

Chu Hong and Zhong Shan were standing in a wooden house. On the wooden bed next to them, Sima Mo was leaning against the wall with a pale face and wounds all over his body. Most of these wounds had scabbed over, and a few were still bleeding.

"That's basically what happened. I'm lucky to be alive." Sima Mo said this and then he coughed violently twice, with a little blood coming out of the corners of his mouth.

“Even Mr. Shrimp has come ashore.”

Zhong Shan's face was very gloomy.

Sima Mo had discussed with him about going to the sea to look for materials this time. He was supposed to go with him, but later the Tongxin Gu broke out and he had no choice but to not go. As a result, such a big thing happened because of this negligence.

Almost all the Gu Masters who went to "catch the tide" died, and it was only because Sima Mo's reaction was fast enough and the White Moth clone had a strong ability to save his life. If someone else had gone, he would have been dead long ago.

"Get some rest. I'll figure out what to do with the tides."

Chu Hong stood up, pushed the door and walked out.

"Should we inform our fourth junior brother and the younger junior sister?"

"They have just switched to practicing the Insect Sutra, and their strength is not even that of an Insect Gu Master. Even if they come, they will only be a drag."

The streets outside were filled with wailing sounds, mixed with some mourning sounds. These people were all the insect masters who had "caught the tide" last night, and almost everyone who survived was injured. Chu Hong and Zhong Shan also rushed over after receiving Sima Mo's news.

"We must escape quickly! Go to the mountains. Only by going to the mountains can we avoid the impact of the tide!"

A wine bottle was thrown out of the window, and the ceramic bottle smashed to the ground, breaking into large pieces of porcelain slag, and the wine was scattered all over the ground. (End of this chapter)
