On the day of his spiritual root test, he was found to possess a fifth-grade root. In this lifetime, it would be nearly impossible to break through the Mid Qi Refining stage.
The immortal sec...
Chapter 655 The Perfection of the Demon Palace Grotto Heaven - It's All About You, Soul Silence King
After this little incident...
Wang Yu arrived at the center of Holy Ring City—the Demon Palace!
He tossed the True Demon Token up and down in his hand.
The extra million merit points only made him happy for a short while; the benefits brought by the Blood Demon Sword Sect leader meant he would never lack merit points.
On the contrary, the precious resources that required mission tokens to redeem were more appealing to him.
but.
These achievements are enough for him to perfect the internal and external dual circulation system of the Myriad Transformations True Demon Cave Heaven, ensuring that the cave heaven is always in a state of growth.
in this way.
It would be worth considering planting some rare spiritual herbs that have strict environmental requirements. Given his current cultivation speed, it would be most suitable to prepare cultivation spiritual items for the late stage of Void Refinement or even the early stage of Dao Integration.
There are also some spiritual items that can permanently enhance one's comprehension; you can cultivate them early on, and you'll always reap the rewards.
With his mind making plans, Wang Yu pushed open the gate of the Demon Palace.
This place is usually deserted. Apart from the heads of the nine major lineages, almost no one can push open the gate here. Wang Yu guessed that there must be quite a few people watching him.
Intentionally exposing one's own privileges.
This would allow him to avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble, and also deter those with ill intentions, putting aside their petty and despicable thoughts, and preventing them from even considering assassination or anything like that.
The Demon Palace was completely empty, its symbolic significance outweighing its practical significance.
However, a [Small World Spirit Reflection Array] is set up in the middle of this place!
The array uses nine lotus platforms as its hub, from which nine commands are derived. The first thing the head of each lineage does upon taking office is to take one command and refine it.
This allows one to project themselves onto the lotus platform and hold a meeting, regardless of their location, once someone activates the array in the Demon Palace.
This was the purpose of Wang Yu's trip.
After finding the lotus platform representing the Blood Demon Sword Sect, Wang Yu inserted his True Demon Token into it and then used his magic power to guide it, causing the illusory token to actively merge into it, thus completely completing the handover of responsibilities.
Standing on the lotus platform again, he did not initiate the remote spirit conference.
As the saying goes...
Small matters are discussed in large meetings, while important matters are discussed in small meetings.
He simply repeated his basic information, the location of his cave, and the allocation of resources verbatim, based on the information given to him by Senior Brother Lianyun.
It's like sending a condensed information packet across millions of miles.
In this way, you can simply wait to receive the benefits each year.
Since there were no outsiders in the Demon Palace, and it was also the area with the densest array of spiritual patterns, Wang Yu simply found a side hall and began to cultivate in seclusion to stabilize his cultivation.
Not long ago, after cultivating with Qingqing, he broke through to the fourth level of the Void Refinement Realm and entered the mid-stage, which greatly improved his strength. He felt that fighting against beings like Green Robe and Centipede Flame across realms would not be a problem.
However, if you want to deal with someone in the early stage of the Dao Integration Realm, even if they are weaker, you might not be able to kill them even if you risk your life.
Although the Centipede Flame Old Demon's natal Gu beast has reached the early stage of the seventh rank, such Gu beasts lack both spirituality and intelligence, and do not possess the extraordinary realm that human cultivators achieve upon breakthroughs.
Only the Gu blood flowing in the body.
It has been sublimated and transformed!
There are many such Dao merging beings in the myriad realms. After all, not every world cultivates the [Refining Spirit to Become an Immortal] path. Therefore, beings who are not as good as humans at Dao merging, but have indeed reached the strength of this realm, are called pseudo-Dao merging beings, weak Dao merging beings, and so on.
This is often seen when human cultivators utter insulting words when they look down on powerful beings from other races.
The human race's strength is among the top in the entire universe sea that has been explored. Although there are only nine True Immortals, each of them has extraordinary abilities.
This is the advantage that the cultivation system brings.
Even if we can't be number one in the universe, we are still at the top level. Looking across all the worlds, the human race can certainly be proud. But humans have the mindset of being prepared for danger in times of peace almost ingrained in their bones.
In addition, the war with the demon race has lasted for countless years, so the atmosphere in the nine realms of the human race is quite radical, and the intensity of competition and elimination is extremely high.
Although Gu cultivators possess great power, no true Gu Immortal has yet emerged. In cases like the Old Demon Centipede Flame, only when his own cultivation breaks through to the Dao Integration stage can his natal Gu beast also undergo a transformation.
By borrowing his body, one can obtain the unique realm and divine abilities of the human cultivation system.
The manipulation of heaven and earth, and the observation of time, are all contained within this space!
During his seclusion for cultivation...
This marks the beginning of the second round of perfecting the Myriad Transformations True Demon Cave Heaven. In just over a decade, it takes others hundreds or even thousands of years to cultivate the positive cycle internal cave heaven!
Before.
Blood Sea, Corpse Land, Frost Moon, and even the Five Qi Seeds and Yin Five Elements Rules obtained through body refinement were incorporated into his cave heaven system, just like the ocean embracing all rivers, integrating his various foundational elements.
Thus, they can acquire a stronger foundation and lifeline.
He once picked up a treasure gourd vine on Tianlao Island in the Ice Prison Realm and planted it on Corpse Land to undergo a transformation and infiltration with demonic characteristics.
Right now.
It involves consuming merit points to exchange for a large amount of cultivation resources, while also obtaining countless seeds of Dragon Blood Grass, Dragon Blood Flower, and Dragon Blood Tree.
It was directly applied to the corpse-covered land.
This series of spiritual creatures can only grow in places where dragon blood has been spilled. The seeds in the Treasure Pavilion have been improved so that they can grow by watering them with fresh blood.
Wang Yu planned to combine the [Blood Sea Alchemy Method] to accumulate a continuous stream of resources for his alchemy practice. If the grade was not high enough, he could use the [Tribulation Crossing Saint Pill Method] to upgrade it on a large scale.
It can provide him with a massive amount of Qi and blood resources.
In addition, we purchased tens of millions of [phalloides]!
This is a microscopic creature whose strength can only be described as weak and feeble. Even if it formed a vast sea of mayflies, it would be of no use. However, it is a creature that absorbs light and then releases a special eerie glow.
This special eerie light can fill the entire cave, allowing the place to emit light steadily even without the sun, and it can also accelerate the growth rate of demonic creatures.
The carcasses of the glowing mayfly can fertilize the soil and improve the environment.
Its development speed is even more astonishing, with a cycle of ten days, and it can also produce a small amount of soul fragments, which is a great supplement to Wang Yu's cave world and resonates with the illusory light realm.
The collection of these basic improvement spirit items does not require much merit.
The most expensive items are twelve spiritual veins, nine yin veins, and thirty-three yin-yang springs, ranging in grade from first to fifth. These are all feng shui acupoints he needs to set up a feng shui formation.
There's also a whole [Cosmic Light Time Sequence Immortal Vine]!
Don't be fooled by its impressive-sounding name; it's actually somewhere between rare and common. Its ancestors were true celestial treasures, the most precious items held by the Eastern Emperor Heavenly Demon Immortals.
The one Wang Yu bought was a branch of its ancestral rootstock from a certain generation. Although the names were the same, they were worlds apart.
After all, it is a magical vine imbued with the mysteries of time.
It is certainly precious, but there is no shortage of them, which makes them seem quite ordinary. There is a fixed exchange in the Treasure Pavilion, priced at 500,000 merit points, and each True Demon Token can only be exchanged for one.
It's precisely because you don't need a mission token to redeem it.
Wang Yucai concluded that there must be a considerable number of them. They were not rare resources with limited production, but they were not treasures that could be obtained easily either.
Therefore, a massive amount of merit points is the threshold for its redemption.
As is widely known, cultivators who have reached the Dao possess a unique realm called "Observing the Time of the World," which allows them to see the so-called river of time.
It even has the ability to collect "Time Gravel" from it as one of the standard equivalents for cultivators at the Dao Integration level and above. After being refined using secret methods, this immortal vine can form a "sand-scooping net".
It can greatly increase the speed at which cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm can collect Time Sands, making it a must-have item for every genius and prodigy in the Demon Refining Domain. After all, outside the Demon Refining Domain, the cultivation environment is not as practical and convenient as it is here.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
This has always been the cultivation philosophy of the demonic path, and it can be considered as planning ahead. Wang Yu exchanged for this offspring vine for its mysterious time.
If you want to activate the bit of temporal law that you absorbed from the illusory realm during your adventure in the cosmic sea, this immortal vine is the perfect way to realize it.
His seasonal evil winds could also come in handy.
After arranging things properly and perfecting the cave heaven step by step, nearly a year passed. Wang Yu's cultivation level was completely stabilized and began to rise steadily and rapidly once again.
at the same time.
Another storm is brewing!
…………
…………
"The so-called number one below the Dao Integration Realm is, in the end, nothing more than a Void Refinement cultivator. The Mighty True Demon King? A barbarian!"
The emaciated, skeleton-like Soul King stood before the throne in the palace, his face full of arrogance, exuding an air of dominance and conceit, as if there were no heroes in the world.
Below them stood the Centipede Flame Old Demon, bowing respectfully.
The latter looked at this person talking eloquently, and his disdain was almost palpable, but considering the difference in their status and the matter of leverage they had against each other, he decided to back down.
Centipede Demon lowered his head, reluctantly agreeing.
"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right."
"Hmph, it's good that you know. This matter is also your opportunity, Wu Yan! Don't you want to know how to satisfy me?"
"I am satisfied. My senior brother in the Underworld who is in charge of managing all matters in the Heavenly Fire Realm will naturally listen to my ramblings a bit more. What do you think?"
Soul King is a core disciple of the Underworld.
The top ten palace masters have all joined the nine major lineages of the Demon Realm. Regardless of their background, the nine major lineages are the best place for them.
but.
Arrogant demonic cultivators like Wang Yu, who covet the nine peak inheritances, are ultimately a minority. Not long after ascending to the Demon Refining Domain, Soul Silence King joined the Underworld to specialize in the path of soul demons, and more than seven hundred years have passed since then.
Upon hearing this, the old demon Wuyan below was startled.
He asked uncertainly, "You mean..."
His soul murmured in silence.
"The three of them, Meigu, Wuchang, and Guixue, have a long-standing grudge against me. They always find a chance to cause me trouble, and this time will likely be no exception. Even if they cannot kill me, they will still try to annoy me."
"I'm giving you a chance to try breaking through to the Dao Integration Realm. If you succeed, kill Wuyou and severely injure the Three Kings. If you fail... well, there's nothing more to say."
"With your strength, once you break through and perfect your natal Gu beast, you will become a true Dao-Merging powerhouse, completely incomparable to those weak Dao-Merging beings of the alien races."
"Even if the three kings join forces, they are no match for you. When the Great Demon Heaven's inspectors arrive, you will be able to retrieve the souls of your family members and regain your freedom."
--Chance!
This is the long-awaited opportunity for the old demon Wuyan to turn his life around. The Dao Integration stage is a major stage for cultivators. At this stage, one can be called a great power, with the title of Venerable. Even in the myriad realms, one is among the best.
Just like the Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation cultivators in the lower realms, they roam freely between heaven and earth, and the vast Immortal Palace strictly forbids the enslavement of Dao-merging human races.
He could hardly believe that Soul King would help him break through to the Dao Integration Realm. Breaking through to this realm and undergoing the tribulation were not simple tasks.
Generally speaking, even the most outstanding talents would exchange for a "Void-Breaking and Dao-Merging Holy Spirit Pill" from the Treasure Pavilion to assist them, and would also prepare more than three kinds of tribulation-crossing treasures.
One is a treasure for avoiding lightning.
Secondly, it is a treasure for calming the mind.
The third is the treasure of the Dao!
Lightning Shield, as the name suggests, is a treasure used to reduce the power of the lightning tribulation at the Dao Integration stage. It is the simplest tribulation to break through to the Dao Integration stage.
Calmness is a treasure for overcoming inner demons. It is extremely precious, and even those in the Treasure Pavilion are limited in quantity and difficult to produce in large quantities.
Of those who can withstand the tribulation of the Dao Integration Tribulation, eight or nine out of ten are capable.
Only two or three out of ten can overcome the tribulation of inner demons and the Dao. The final "tribulation of Dao transformation" is the most difficult to endure. Those at the peak of the Void Refinement stage are already outstanding individuals who have fought their way out from among billions of living beings. When facing the tribulation of Dao transformation, even one in a hundred will survive.
The three flowers gather at the top, forming the initial shape of the Dao fruit.
It's easy to say but hard to do. Dao Fruit symbolizes the status of the Great Dao. Without sufficient concentration, cultivators often can't help but completely immerse themselves in it.
At this point, the body and the primordial spirit will transform into heaven and earth.
Only a few nascent Dao Fruit treasures remain, which are top-grade aids for other cultivators to prove their Dao, but they are not so wonderful for these Dao-transformed cultivators themselves.
Therefore, there are often those who survive the first two tribulations.
Those who wish to take a hundred steps often stumble at the ninety-ninth step, unable to resist embracing the great path.
Now.
The Soul King only said that he would break through to the Dao Integration Realm, but he did not receive any sacred pills or any three treasures to protect him from calamity. He, the Old Demon Centipede Flame, had cultivated for his entire life.
The Three Flowers Gathering at the Top is only missing the "Flower of Qi," which can be condensed at any time.
His chances of breaking through to the next realm and merging with the Dao are still less than 20%. These past years, he has been working as a lackey for the Soul King, running around collecting resources, which has long delayed his own path.
This is no breakthrough for him, but freedom is right in front of him.
He was even more unwilling to give up.
After waiting for a while, and seeing that Soul King had not said anything, Centipede Flame Old Demon completely figured out the other party's plan.
'If I succeed, I'll turn enslavement into employment, sign a Great Dao Contract as a guarantee, and do this last job for him. Because of the rules of the Demon Refining Domain, I won't be able to retaliate against him. If I fail... I can still use this incident to my advantage.'
Centipede Flame Old Demon was quick-witted and soon came up with an idea.
Once he enters a state of seclusion to break through, the other party will spread the news. The world is ignorant, and in the eyes of outsiders, the probability of him breaking through to the Dao Integration Realm is quite high.
Furthermore, it possesses a natal Gu beast at the early stage of the seventh rank.
The success rate is at least 50%, and if he could obtain a breakthrough pill, the chance would be 80%. However, he lacks the three treasures for avoiding tribulation used to aid in his breakthrough, and he has no pills to help him either.
The true purpose of the Soul King was actually to alert the enemy.
Outsiders don't know the circumstances under which he chose to break through to the next realm, so they naturally assume he will succeed. Wuyou is like a minor ailment; it's more accurate to say he's aiming for the Three Kings.
'You bastard, you're up to no good, so don't blame me for ruining your plans...'
Centipede Flame Demon made up his mind to save himself.
After outwardly taking his leave with utmost respect, he secretly tried to contact Wang Yu and send the message out first.
At the same time, he used preparation as an excuse to delay Soul King's request for him to break through.
