"If this continues, my clone will probably be destroyed."
Lu Chen was slowly pulled back, clearly feeling the decline of his spiritual and soul power. He immediately made a decisive move and looked coldly at the extremely weak Ling Tian in front of him, "I'll let you go for now, just wait..."
After saying that, Lu Chen forcibly released the constraints of his realm, and a terrifying soul pressure wanted to kill Ling Tian. Unfortunately, the power of the world was even more terrifying. It directly wrapped Lu Chen, who had exceeded the limit, and his soul pressure tightly and seamlessly, and then threw him out with a whoosh, which felt like throwing away garbage.
Although it lost its target, the soul-devouring black hole did not stop and continued to devour the void until all the spiritual energy in Ling Tian's body was completely sucked away.
Ling Tian collapsed on the ground, his face pale and sweating profusely. He couldn't even breathe. The broken sword in his hand had disappeared into the space inside his body at some point.
After more than two hours, Ling Tian, who had recovered a bit of spiritual power, slowly stood up. He felt a pang of fear when he recalled the time when his body was forcibly controlled by the broken sword.
"It was horrible. I almost sucked myself dry."
"I wonder if he was killed?"
This is what Ling Tian is most concerned about. If he is hit again, he will be finished. But he has no spiritual power to support him. Moreover, after Broken Sword uses this move, he ignores Ling Tian completely and cannot be summoned even if he wants to.
Ling Tian still had some concerns about the Soul-Devouring Immortal-Destroying Sword. After all, it did not obey his commands at all, and it came and went freely, treating space as nothing.
"Good fortune and misfortune go hand in hand, so let's take it one step at a time."
Ling Ren returned to the small space again. After a few hours, he recovered and immediately went to the medicine garden where he could not open the formation before. He took out the Immortal-Destroying Sword. Although he could not use its terrifying energy, the sword body was a Xuantian treasure, so it should not be difficult to deal with such a barrier.
As expected, Ling Tian poured all his spiritual power into the broken sword and slashed it fiercely at the light curtain. With a loud bang, a crack appeared in the barrier, and immediately a burst of medicinal fragrance came towards him. Although he didn't know what kind of spiritual medicine these three were, he knew that they were not ordinary things from the rich medicinal fragrance they emitted.
Ling Tian took advantage of the fact that the cracks had not yet been repaired and quickly entered the medicine garden. In order to ensure that the spiritual medicine was not damaged, Ling Tian took a shovel and started digging about ten feet away from the spiritual medicine.
In the time it took for an incense stick to pass, Ling Tian had successfully transplanted the three spiritual herbs into the space, and at the same time dug up a lot of the surrounding soil. After completing this task, he searched the medicine garden carefully, and after finding nothing, Ling Ren prepared to leave.
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave, kid."
"Yao Lao! Are you okay?"
"Holding on with your last breath, let's not talk about irrelevant things. Listen to me. Although I wasn't present at the battle you just had, I could sense that the powerful being had been driven out of the planet by the power of the world. It's impossible for him to come back anytime soon. You must stay in this space and cultivate until you reach the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, then leave. Also, before you leave, collect this small space. It will be of great benefit to you."
After saying that, the weapon spirit condensed into two small spots of light, merged into Ling Tian's mind, and fell asleep again.
Ling Tian absorbed two spots of light. Just as he expected, one was a method of using one's own space to assimilate the small world and thus annex it, and the other was a sword technique. Although its level was unknown, it must not be something common.
It is not the time to assimilate the small world yet, so there is no need to rush. Instead, the most urgent thing is to improve his own combat strength. This encounter has made him realize his shortcomings. If he had learned a few good skills, he would not be so embarrassed, especially the sword-controlling skill, which is very necessary to learn.
"The Great Five Elements Sword Formation! This sword formation was created by the sword genius Mo Wendao. It only has one form, but it has ninety-nine eighty-one variations. After it is refined to perfection, the sword formation flows, and the sword energy within the formation generates and restrains each other, making it eternal and indestructible..."
Ling Tian looked at the detailed introduction of the sword formation and felt ecstatic. With this technique, combined with his five spiritual roots, the power would be greatly enhanced. Moreover, once it was practiced to the extreme, its power would be comparable to Xuantian's treasure.
Although he was excited, Ling Tian now faced a big problem: this sword formation required long swords with the five attributes of gold, wood, water, fire and earth to be used. The higher the level of the sword and the rarer the material, the greater the power. If he could gather the five elements of spirit beads and condense them into a sword, the horror of the sword formation would be unimaginable.
"Hey, starting too high isn't a good thing. Where can I get five magical swords?"
Indeed, here on Earth, even the most common items are difficult to obtain, let alone other high-quality ones.
Looking at such a powerful sword formation, Ling Tian could only sigh in despair, and then immersed himself in cultivation.
After breaking through to the foundation-building stage, he no longer needed ordinary food to fill his stomach. Ling Tian sat in seclusion for twenty years, and only broke through to the middle stage of foundation-building when he came out. Because of the six great qi seas in his body, he needed to expend six times more spiritual power than ordinary practitioners.
The reason why the progress is so slow is the scarcity of elixirs. Although there is space in the body, the growth period of spiritual medicine is slow. Even if he has four times the time, he cannot cultivate a large number of spiritual medicines in a short period of time to supply him with alchemy. Especially since his alchemy skills are not very good, it is even more difficult.
He was able to break through to the middle stage in twenty years thanks to the Jingtian Bottle. Otherwise, if he didn't have dozens of drops of spiritual liquid available to him every day, he might not be able to break through in thirty or forty years.
On this day, Ling Tian stopped practicing, because for him now, not practicing for a few days would not have any impact.
When he walked out of this world and went outside, he couldn't help but marvel.
"I didn't expect that after not being out for 20 years, the outside world has changed so much."
Looking at the lush forest outside, Ling Tian once again recalled the era of technological civilization.
After a long time, Ling Tian waved away his distracting thoughts and used the light body technique. After a few rises and falls, he disappeared from the spot. More than an hour later, he appeared in the former Stone City. The name remained the same, but there were many more high-rise concrete buildings, which surprised Ling Tian.
When he walked in, he saw the hustle and bustle of traffic and it was so crowded that Ling Tian thought he was dreaming. When did there become so many humans?
After walking for a while, he finally found the answer to his doubts. It turned out that everything was caused by the sweet potatoes and other foods he had given to Li Yongsheng's brother.
When the two learned that they had no chance of becoming immortals, they fled with the sweet potatoes and other food given by Ling Tian. However, they were unwilling to be ordinary, so they decided to use these foods to recruit talents and start a big business.
After a few years, they successfully planted a large amount of food and gradually attracted hundreds of people to rely on them. After some encouragement, they decided to attack the Stone City. The residents of the Stone City, who were severely oppressed and could not breathe, also joined in the attack. With the help of both inside and outside, they soon overthrew the people in power.
The two men did have leadership talents. They developed agriculture, reduced taxes, and in less than three years, they had basically solved the problem of food and clothing for thousands of people in the city. Therefore, they gained the support of the people and founded a new dynasty.
