Li Yuanba became familiar with the state of corpse refining and deepened his understanding of the body of corpse refining.
Only then did his mind move slightly, and he transformed from the corpse refining state back to the human state.
As soon as he returned to human form, he felt weak, as if he was used to the body of a strong man, but suddenly changed into the body of a child.
Indeed, in the corpse refining state, his body refining strength exceeded that of a great elder, and his realm even reached the middle stage of silver corpse.
In comparison, his human state is only at the early stage of Golden Core. Even with the strongest body refining strength, he has not even reached the level of a great elder.
He calmed his mind and slowly practiced the 'Sword Intent Soaring into the Sky'. The sword intent drove the spiritual power to flow in his body, and the spiritual energy from the outside world also poured into his body.
However, in this practice, the effect of external spiritual energy can be almost ignored.
Because from some unknown area in his body, a surge of energy is flowing into his body.
His Tai Chi Taoist body has the ability to automatically balance the human state and the corpse refining state.
It’s just that there has never been such a big gap between the human state and the corpse refining state before. When in the human state, everything in the corpse refining state disappeared, even the corpse pill was hidden in some strange space.
But under the effect of Tai Chi Dao Body, the energy of the corpse refining state is being converted into usable energy in the human state through Tai Chi Dao Body.
This energy is divided into two types, one is spiritual power, and the other is body refining power.
The Tai Chi Taoist body transforms the cold Yin spiritual power of the corpse refining state into pure Yang spiritual power, and transforms the cold Yin body refining power of the corpse refining state into the extremely Yang body refining power.
Without encountering any problems, the bottleneck of the middle stage of the Golden Core was immediately broken under the impact of this higher-level pure yang spiritual power.
His realm was raised to the middle stage of the Golden Core. The bottleneck that had been holding him back for seven months disappeared at this moment.
When Li Yuanba was practicing the 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky Art', he did not practice the 'Scorching Sun Jade Body Art' at the same time, but when the extremely yang body-refining power surged into his body, his body instinctively started to operate the 'Scorching Sun Jade Body Art'.
At this moment his body turned into jade, his skin was almost transparent, and his blood vessels, muscles and bones were faintly visible.
The extremely yang body-refining power quickly entered his skin, blood vessels, muscles, bones, and every tissue in his body.
His entire body was shaking violently, and strange patterns appeared in his body, strengthening his body.
This is the manifestation of the ultimate practice of the Golden Elixir Chapter of the "Scorching Sun Jade Body Art". The strange pattern is the extreme yang pattern of the "Scorching Sun Jade Body Art". His body has now condensed the extreme yang pattern.
From then on, his body left the realm of the Golden Core Stage and approached the Dao Body of the Nascent Soul Stage.
If there is another chance, the Yang pattern of the 'Scorching Sun Jade Body Technique' will fill in the missing part, that is, the Yang pattern of the Nascent Soul stage. At that time, his body will truly reach the Tao body of the Nascent Soul stage.
Generally speaking, this process can only be achieved when the Nascent Soul is nurtured through the Golden Elixir and when the Nascent Soul is born after passing the heavenly tribulation and receiving the reward from heaven and earth.
Simply practicing body-refining techniques can advance the body to the Yuanying stage of the Tao body, which is extremely rare in the history of the immortal cultivation world.
After his body refining realm broke through to the great elder level, his body refining strength no longer improved.
He could clearly sense that the Tai Chi Taoist body was still trying to convert the body-refining power of the corpse body and input it into his human body, but his human body had reached its limit and could not be improved even a little bit.
Li Yuanba understood that the reason why the corpse-refining state could break through to the great elder level was probably related to the 'Sky-Splitting Divine Ability'.
He only got the name of the Sky-Splitting Beast and simple knowledge of the "Sky-Splitting Divine Ability" from the Sky-Splitting Rules, and knew nothing else, so everything was just his guess.
His physical strength no longer increased, but he was still practicing the "Sword Intent Soaring into the Sky Art". A large amount of energy was added into his golden elixir, allowing his realm to continue to improve.
After an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes, and the realm of his human state finally reached the same level as his corpse-refining state, both reaching the middle stage of the middle Jindan stage.
He sensed the time and found that he had been in seclusion for twenty-five days for this practice.
In other words, he doesn't need to take care of many things in Jieshan City. When he is free, Deacon Yue Xing will come to report on the situation. If he is not free, it will not affect the operation of Jieshan City.
Feeling the golden elixir in his body, although his realm has been improved, the most important thing about 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky' is the improvement of sword intent. In this regard, if he wants to make his realm match 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky', it will take a long time to improve his sword intent.
But before that, he needs to deliver the treasure in his hand to the original body Li Shiming.
A treasure like the Corpse Lotus cannot be kept in one's hands. Even in the space ring it is not safe. It is only safe if placed in the computer room space.
Li Yuanba stood up and analyzed his current combat power.
In human form, he could easily fight against a late Jindan cultivator relying only on his sword skills without using any other means.
The late Jindan cultivators mentioned here are not ordinary late Jindan cultivators, but late Jindan cultivators from the six major sects.
Before this, he had to use his physical strength to fight against it.
If he uses his physical strength, with his current strength of a great elder, coupled with the sword-cultivating melee technique 'Sword Demon Secret Book', he will be able to defeat a great elder of the same level.
He has great confidence in this point. The combat power of sword cultivators is generally recognized as the best, and most of the time, the invincible ones in the same level refer to sword cultivators.
The more advanced a sword cultivator is, the harder it becomes to practice. A sword cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan period can be considered powerful even in the Jindan period, not to mention the physical strength of a great elder.
Unfortunately, the Jindan chapter of the 'Sword Demon Secret Book' only strengthens the third-grade sword base, and does not cover other aspects.
He needed a close combat sword training method like the 'Sword Demon Secret Book'. In fact, he had this idea a long time ago, but neither the Senluo Sect nor the Shushan Sect had a close combat sword training method that could satisfy him.
His vision is now too high. Ordinary melee sword techniques are of little use to him. Top-notch melee sword techniques are rare, so it is normal that the two major sects have not collected them.
Li Yuanba’s human state is not his strongest state. His truly strongest state is still the corpse refining state.
In the corpse refining state, his close combat ability exceeds that of the Great Elder. As long as he gets close to him, he can easily kill the Great Elder.
Of course, the one with the greatest potential in the corpse refining state is the 'Sky-Splitting Divine Power', which is an attack-type magical power, but it can be used in the middle stage of the silver corpse. It has to be said that the benefits he has gained from the corpse of the Sky-Splitting Beast are really too great.
According to the analysis of the original body Li Shiming, the 'Sky-Splitting Divine Ability', when fully exerted, is enough to break through the defense of the fake infant's body, and even the Nascent Soul body can be injured.
Li Yuanba left his generals in the garrison to guard Jieshan City, and he flew to the Jieshan Checkpoint.
Due to the previous breach of the Boundary Mountain Checkpoint, the number of monks guarding the Boundary Mountain Checkpoint was temporarily increased to twelve, divided into two teams to take turns on duty.
In addition, a large number of Jindan monks from other sects went to look for the invading Jindan monks from the Linghe Sect and the Wuya Sect. For some reason, no matter how they searched, they could not find any trace of any of the Jindan monks.
This made many Jindan cultivators who had accepted the sect's mission very angry. On the one hand, they were unable to severely punish the Jindan cultivators who provoked Senluo Sect, and on the other hand, these sect's Jindan cultivators wasted a lot of time for this.
The Jindan monks of these sects did not stop their search, but some monks discovered that the invading Jindan monks had entered the sphere of influence of spirit beasts, and suspected that they had died at the hands of spirit beasts.
But until this suspicion is confirmed, the sect's mission will not be terminated, and the sect's Jindan monks who have accepted the mission will continue to be busy.
The same is true at the Jieshan Checkpoint, the temporarily added guard monks will not be withdrawn.
Li Yuanba didn't know the situation at the Jieshan Checkpoint. It was only after he arrived that he discovered that there were so many Jindan cultivators.
"Junior Brother Li!" Jiang Pu came out with a smile and greeted him, but his face turned serious and he looked Li Yuanba up and down in surprise.
"Have you been promoted to the middle stage?" When he confirmed his judgment again, he pointed his finger at Li Yuanba and asked somewhat rudely.
He was very clear about Li Yuanba's information. It would have been fine if he had been promoted to the Golden Core stage at a young age, but he had been promoted to the middle Golden Core stage in just a few years.
At this time, several Jindan elders whom Li Yuanba did not know came over, and they also discovered Li Yuanba's realm.
"Are the benefits of garrisoning Jieshan City and Jieshan Checkpoint so great?" A Jindan elder whispered to himself.
This time when they came here, they first discovered that the strength of Jiang Pu, Meng Sheng and Shi Can, the three monks stationed at the Jieshan checkpoint, had improved significantly.
Originally, if Li Yuanba had not been promoted to the middle stage of the Golden Core, perhaps the Golden Core elders who came temporarily would not have had too many feelings.
However, when they saw that Li Yuanba had actually advanced to the middle stage of the Golden Core, the first thing they thought of was that the benefits of the garrison mission at the Jieshan Checkpoint were too lucrative.
Otherwise, how can we explain that the strength of the three Jindan middle-stage elders stationed in the Jindan realm has all increased significantly, and how can we explain that Li Yuanba broke through to the middle-stage Jindan realm just a few years after becoming a Jindan cultivator.
The eyes of these Jindan elders were shining. They had not paid attention to the mission of the Boundary Mountain Checkpoint before, but now it was different.
Jiang Pu naturally saw the greed in the eyes of the several Jindan elders who came over temporarily, and he couldn't help but feel a headache.
It seems that there will be trouble in the future, but the mission of guarding the Jieshan Checkpoint must be maintained.
"I got promoted because of something I felt during this meditation!" Li Yuanba had no idea what happened in that moment, he just replied with a smile.
No one thinks this excuse is false. Many cultivators have breakthroughs suddenly due to a feeling in their hearts.
However, this feeling in the heart needs accumulation. If you want to achieve it through practice, unless you have swallowed some mild and very high-grade elixir, it will be extremely difficult to break through without sufficient accumulation.
"I really envy you. Looks like I'll be calling you Senior Brother Li soon!" Jiang Pu joked.
"Brother Jiang, I want to go over there, is that ok?" Li Yuanba asked, pointing to the opposite side of the Jieshan Checkpoint.
"No problem, they are here just to assist in the defense, the authority is still in the hands of the three of us!" Jiang Pu glanced at the other Jindan elders and replied softly.
Li Yuanba nodded. As long as his relationship with Jiang Pu did not involve other cultivators, he didn't need to say too much.
He greeted several Jindan elders who came temporarily and entered the passage of the checkpoint.
After passing the buffer zone and approaching the main checkpoint, he found that the large formation at the checkpoint emitted a fierce aura that locked him.
He was stunned. You know, with his identity, he doesn't need any procedures to pass the regular checkpoints. Ying Hou and others will let him through when they see him.
"You are so brave to force your way through the checkpoint!" A voice sounded in his ears.
Li Yuanba looked in the direction of the righteous checkpoint and saw a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core standing in the air, pointing his finger at him, with spiritual power surging in his body, ready to launch an attack at any time.
"I am Li Yuanba from Senluo Sect, and I am here to visit fellow Taoist Ying Hou!" Li Yuanba didn't want to cause trouble here, so he said in a deep voice.
"Friend Daoist Ying is resting. If you surrender, you will naturally be able to see Brother Daoist Ying!" The cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core felt that he had an absolute advantage. With the help of the large formation, it would be a piece of cake for him to control Li Yuanba. Therefore, he did not want to reason with Li Yuanba at all.
This mid-stage Jindan cultivator was sent by the righteous forces to fill the vacant garrison position. His name is Yang Bao, and he is the Jindan elder of the Qianhuan Sect.
He was sent here because he heard that there were great benefits here. As a Jindan elder of one of the three major righteous sects, he considered himself superior to the two Jindan elders Ying Hou and Xin Tong.
He had just been sent here and knew nothing about what was going on here, but he didn't want to listen to Ying Hou and Xin Tong's introduction.
He interfered with transactions at checkpoints at will and seized the proceeds from many transactions, which made Ying Hou and Xin Tong very angry, but they were powerless to do anything.
Compared to the deceased Zhiguang Arhat, this Yang Bao was more troublesome. Yang Bao was too greedy. He would take almost all profitable opportunities for himself without any regard for the original rules.
Li Yuanba frowned, it seemed that this matter could not be resolved peacefully.
I’m afraid it will be very troublesome at the righteous checkpoints in the future, and I can only pass through the righteous formation by sneaking across.
Just as he was thinking about it, Yang Bao's flying sword had already been activated and shot towards him.
Li Yuanba no longer hesitated, and flew out with a sword, facing Yang Bao's flying sword magic weapon.
When Yang Bao discovered something was wrong, it was too late. When he sensed the terrifying sword intent revealed by Xing Yijian, he realized that the other party was a powerful swordsman.
However, his flying sword magic weapon and Xingyi Sword had already collided with each other. When the sword was about to collide, the Zhiyang Sword entered into the flying sword magic weapon and instantly destroyed the spiritual imprint in the flying sword magic weapon.
Li Yuanba took a step in the air, and strangely, the locking effect of the formation lost its effect. He flew to the flying sword magic weapon that collided with him and grabbed it in his hand.
After breaking the spiritual imprint in the flying sword magic weapon, Xing Yijian continued to shoot towards Yang Bao.
The 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky' technique at the middle Jindan realm controlled the Xing Yi sword. Yang Bao had a huge gap with him in terms of realm and magic weapon. The Xing Yi sword was placed across Yang Bao's neck.
