He was like a black hole, madly sucking the spiritual energy from the outside world. In addition, the Yin Burial Coffin was also advancing at the same time.
This was the superposition of two spiritual energy black holes. The exaggerated suction force caused the ground veins to reverse and the spiritual energy to flow backwards.
From beneath the remains of the Ghost Wood Demon King from the outside world, rich earth yin energy was drawn in.
The Yin Burial Coffin continuously absorbed the refined Yin Burial Spirit Qi, forming the pure Yin Burial Spirit Qi. The Yin Burial Spirit Qi was then absorbed by the Nine Netherwood and transformed into the higher level Nine Nether Spirit Qi, and finally received by Jiang Li who was hiding in the trunk of the Nine Netherwood.
Jiang Li had temporarily stopped all his spiritual surge techniques. A steady stream of high-level spiritual energy was being filled into his bottomless body.
You know, this level of spiritual energy concentration and this amount of spiritual energy flow are more than enough for Jindan monks to practice.
Although Jiang Li is currently breaking through, and his spiritual energy gap is increasing dramatically, this is only a breakthrough in the foundation building stage. The speed of absorbing spiritual energy is almost a hundred times faster than other normal cultivators when they break through! From this, it can be seen how terrifying the level of the foundation Jiang Li is currently building is.
In his sea of consciousness, a mysterious and wonderful rhyme of Tao was flowing rapidly.
The Dao rhythm passed through the ground of the spiritual world, and the originally empty and desolate ground suddenly shook. Five mountains belonging to the five elements and as steep as swords rose from the ground in the movement of the earth veins. The rich spiritual rhythm of the earth veins flowed among them, forming a large formation of the five elements.
The Dao Yun passed through a thick blood mist again, and dense beast roars were heard from the blood mist. The violent blood evil transformed into strange monsters, which were flying or running, rushing into the Five Elements Fairy Mountain that was still rising, occupying the mountain as the king and roaring to the sky.
Dao Yun flew to the center of the five immortal mountains, where an ancient tree with its roots turned upside down was suspended in the air. The five thickest roots extended out and took root on the five immortal mountains.
There were also countless ghosts with the aura of the Netherworld flying around it wailing like a hurricane. A large number of vines and roots stretched out from the Netherworld tree and danced in the air, capturing them one by one and turning them into nutrients to feed the ancient tree to grow rapidly.
The Dao rhyme flew to the sky, and two forces of life and death, one white and one black, kept spinning in the center. A ball of black thunder was released from it, spreading in the continuous rolling. The terrifying purple lightning in the dark clouds continued to flash and brew. Finally, after a thunderbolt fell, pieces of pure white snowflakes fell from the dark clouds in the sky.
And above the lightning clouds, there is a full moon and three stars guarding the moon.
The full moon represents the essence of Jiang Li's Guanyin Heart Sutra. The three stars, one blood-red, one bright, and one dark, represent the three parallel consciousnesses of Asura, Jian Xiu, and Jiuyou as subsidiary existences.
The full moon became brighter and brighter with the selfless nourishment of the three stars, and Jiang Li's sea of consciousness was also expanding at the same time.
The spiritual charm of the Five Elements Immortal Mountain is endless, expanding along with the boundaries of space, and constantly solidifying the layers. But the golden elixir is not Jiang Li's own, and cannot be modified by plug-ins, which means that the thunderclouds in the life and death aura are limited after all.
The thunderclouds began to stop expanding, and in the outer spiritual world, one could see a pale color when looking up.
If such defects occur, it will be extremely difficult to make up for them once the foundation of Taoism is established.
But Jiang Li didn't care and just waited quietly for the opportunity to come.
Outside, a dark cloud suddenly and rapidly gathered in the sky above the basin.
In the dark clouds, thick lightning flashed from time to time. Looking at the scene, it was almost the same as the thundercloud in Jiang Li's consciousness space.
Although Jiang Li's five foundation-building techniques are very powerful, this is just a breakthrough in the foundation-building process. Theoretically, he does not need to overcome the tribulation.
But the Burial Yin Coffin is different. What the Burial Yin Hall is currently doing is upgrading the earth-level magic weapon.
In the world of cultivating immortals, talisman paper and magical instruments that are not of high grade are used by the lowest-level cultivators.
From the lower to upper grades of the Yellow Rank, they are magic weapons used by ordinary disciples or independent cultivators with a small fortune.
Xuan-grade magic weapons have become rare, and although Jiang Li has seen quite a few of them, that is because he is at a relatively high level. He entered the inner sect of Sutra Valley just a few months after he started cultivating. The people he interacted with were either elite disciples or sect elders.
But even for the elites of these sects, the Xuan-level magic weapon may be the best magic weapon they can get in their lifetime.
Because Earth-level magic weapons are extremely rare.
In the entire Dachongshan cultivation world, there are only a handful of confirmed earth-level magic weapons.
Moreover, it is either the guardian treasure of a large sect or the lifeblood of a top-notch cultivator.
When such a precious treasure comes into the world, it would be the minimum courtesy to have it struck by thunder.
This place is where the remains of the thousand-year-old locust tree spirit are located. Even if there are no dark clouds, there will be bolts of lightning every now and then.
Coupled with the fact that the advancement method of the Burial Yin Coffin is "slightly" evil, the power of this thunder tribulation is likely to be even higher.
But Jiang Li chose to advance here, so naturally he had his own ideas and preparations.
Boom! A bolt of lightning struck, first landing on the stump of the locust tree.
As you know, carbon is a conductor. The tree stump, which had already been completely carbonized, became the best conductive line for lightning, guiding the lightning all the way underground.
However, the root network of the thousand-year-old locust tree is so complex and wide that the carbon network with good conductivity flashes blue electric light underground. This carbon network easily disperses the falling thunderbolt into thousands of tiny lightning bolts.
By the time these tiny lightning bolts reached the Burial Yin Coffin from all directions, the scattered force could no longer cause any real significant damage to the Burial Yin Coffin.
The negative energy on the surface was only dissipated for a moment by the electricity, and then it became more dense and solid again.
Seven or eight months have passed since Jiang Li obtained the top-grade spirit stone and had an idea to create the state of [Spiritual Energy Infusion into the Body].
From the beginning, he could get about ten high-grade spirit stones’ worth of spiritual energy for free every day, and later on, he could get twenty high-grade spirit stones’ worth of spiritual energy every day.
That was an incalculable amount of spiritual energy, and almost no sect would use it so casually.
Most of it was put into the Burial Yin Coffin by Jiang Li and transformed into Burial Yin Aura, which was another important factor in promoting the advancement of the coffin.
With such a huge reserve of Yin energy, the little bit that was dispersed by the lightning was nothing at all.
After the scattered lightning penetrated the Burial Yin Coffin, before they could wreak havoc, the Nine Nether Wood stretched out its roots to guide them and absorbed them into Jiang Li's body.
With the Heavenly Thunder Elixir in his abdomen, Jiang Li is not afraid of ordinary lightning.
These scattered lightning bolts penetrated his body and stimulated his Taoist body to accelerate its transformation. Finally, they were blocked and absorbed by the aura of life and death, and finally turned into thunder clouds in the sea of consciousness, assisting the Taoist foundation of heavenly tribulation to catch up with the spreading speed of the Taoist foundation of earth veins, and together spread to the end of the spiritual world.
. . . .
Seven days later, the graves were deserted.
"Kill all the men and leave all the women alive! Haha, guys, get to work!"
This is the only desert in the Dachong Mountain area, but it was not originally like this. It used to be a place with lush mountains and a prosperous human kingdom.
In those days, the graves of millions of people who died are still buried under the yellow sand today. This is also the origin of the name of the Graveyard Desert! After years of baptism, although this desert is still barren, there is also a kind of spiritual material that is unique to this place that is growing tenaciously.
Grave Mushroom, a low-quality material that can be used to speed up cultivation but has certain side effects. It is highly sought after by casual cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage and below.
The grave straw mushrooms grown in this desert contain less water and more spores, and are of much better quality than ordinary goods on the market, and can often be sold at more than twice the market price.
Therefore, many independent cultivators would choose to form teams and enter this desert to try their luck.
As a result, some desert bandits who wanted to get something for nothing came into being.
This time, it was a gathering team that encountered a group of desert bandits led by a casual cultivator in the Jindan stage.
The gathering monks who could come to this vast desert to try their luck were at most in the foundation-building stage, and most of them were weak monks in the Qi-refining stage. If they did not bring enough supplies and be prepared, even getting lost or in a sandstorm could cost them their lives.
When they encounter desert bandits, the chances of them escaping are really low.
Just as the five bandits were bombarding the team with magic weapons, a dazzling ray of light pierced the sky not far away.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
"Brother, look, what's going on over there?"
A bandit in the Foundation Establishment Stage was attracted by the rosy glow and slowed down his movements, almost letting his prey escape.
But when he caught up with those poor gathering cultivators and killed them with his sword, he found that his boss was also staring at the glow like he had just done.
"Baoguang, this is definitely Baoguang! Guys! We, the Five Desert Heroes, are destined to rise!"
"That kind of precious light! That kind of precious light! Top grade of Xuan level? Or even higher!"
He swallowed, still not recovering from the huge surprise.
"Let's go! Once we get that treasure, we won't have to stay in this damn place anymore. Hahaha! I, Boss Sha, will also establish my own sect and call myself the king!"
They left a bloody field and let the few remaining fish that had escaped the net flee far away. They did not search for valuables, but directly picked up the bloody magic weapons and flew towards the place where the rosy glow was rising into the sky.
In the withered basin, a ray of light penetrated the soil, shooting up from the ground into the sky, dispersing the dark clouds that filled the air.
The light was scattered in the sky, and it was dazzling even under the scorching sun at noon. It could be seen clearly even from a distance of hundreds of miles.
"Boss, something seems a little strange about this place."
A monk bandit took a few steps closer and entered the electric charge field in the basin, causing static electricity that made his hair swell and stand on end.
The pressure of the thunder tribulation still lingered on this land, causing all the hairs on his body to stand up. His whole body was rejecting the idea of approaching this place.
"Idiot, is it possible that a treasure could be born in your pigsty? It's normal for this place to be weird."
Several wandering sand bandits leaped in and approached the place where the glow was emerging.
Judging from the height of the glow, there must be more than just them who discovered it. If it had been a little later, it would have been hard to say whether he could have obtained the treasure.
"It's right here. The treasure must be under the big tree stump. Get it away for me!"
Several sand bandits used their magic weapons to smash the remaining locust wood pile.
However, with their means, there is no possibility of damaging the remains of the thousand-year-old demon king, even if they are carbonized remains.
"Damn, what the hell is this? It's just a piece of rotten wood. How can it be so hard?"
"Wait, something came out, haha my treasure!"
At this moment, a coffin emerged from the charred locust tree stump.
Jiang Li opened the coffin lid and walked out lazily.
It took him seven days to build his foundation, which cost him a lot of energy. Fortunately, all his efforts and hard work were rewarded.
The power contained in Jiang Li's body now is enough to definitely shock everyone.
And that incomparably solid and peerless foundation of the Tao is enough to allow him to walk out on a smooth and broad road to immortality one day in the future!
Hmm? Jiang Li had just come out of retreat when he saw a middle-aged monk with a wretched and haggard appearance drooling at him, or at the burial coffin behind him.
"Boy! Hand over the treasure quickly! Otherwise... drink~ drink~"
The Sand Bandit, a casual cultivator in the Jindan stage or Xudan realm, had just uttered half a harsh word when the rest of his voice was stuck in his neck.
Because a right hand like an iron clamp tightly grasped his throat.
"Otherwise what? I will be nervous if you scare me like this."
Jiang Li pinched the opponent's neck with one hand. A cultivator at the Void Dan realm couldn't even last a round in his hands.
His neck was grabbed, and no matter how he struggled or resisted, his right hand did not loosen at all, but instead became tighter and tighter.
Seven days of foundation building transformed Jiang Li. His height was no longer that of a child, and he was 1.85 meters tall.
His body was no longer as sturdy and strong as before. After the complementary balance of his Tao base, his body returned to being well-proportioned and slender.
But his power did not disappear. Instead, there seemed to be endless brute force lurking within this body of Tao.
On that well-proportioned right arm, from the wrist to the right shoulder, there are now dragon-scale-like patterns climbing up.
This was when he risked his life to use the blood of hundreds of beasts in the Demon Suppression Tower to condense the body meridian foundation, the blood pattern of hundreds of beasts! Just this one hand gave him enough power to suppress the virtual dan sand bandit in front of him.
