Chapter 221 Thunder Pattern Perfection, Corpses Everywhere
At this stage, the growth of his body refinement cultivation becomes difficult. He needs to condense a full 9,999 drops of essence blood and undergo the final three condensations and three dispersals before he can break through to the third level of body refinement.
Even with the Dragon Blood Elixir made from Dragon Blood Essence to accelerate the process, it still wouldn't be fast enough. The accumulation process is indeed very long, especially after so many years of use.
Only a piece the size of a quail egg remained of the Dragon Blood Essence, which was definitely not enough to meet his needs for breaking through to the third stage of Body Refinement. It was time to find resources in this area to serve as a substitute.
Inside the Starfall Cold Furnace, Wang Yu slowly opened his eyes, feeling his body, which had just undergone a minor transformation, with a joyful expression.
"I didn't expect my body refinement cultivation to surpass my Qi refining realm and reach the late Foundation Establishment stage ahead of others. However... the seventh level of Foundation Establishment will be reached soon too."
After briefly sensing the true essence within his body, Wang Yu will be able to make another breakthrough within two years.
The body-refining effect of the thunder energy here is too good; it's only been a few days.
After getting used to it, Wang Yu continued to cultivate. This time, the effect of the thunder energy began to decrease, so he brought the Wind and Thunder Spirit Pattern Secret Technique with him and improved together.
Completely unaware of the turbulent events unfolding above!
Or perhaps he didn't even try to sense it, fearing that a Core Formation cultivator would discover his spiritual tentacles. As long as Xueyu's condition remained stable, he didn't plan to go out for the time being.
As a result, the area around the pit was engulfed in thunder and lightning, and the storm continued unabated, a stark contrast to the usual riots that subsided within half a day.
It can be said that as long as he continues his cultivation, the thunderstorms will not stop, and a strange connection has formed between the two.
…………
A deep crater, a cave, formed by lightning strikes.
Qi Sheng's face was gloomy. Over the past few days, his lightning-controlling talismans had been exhausted in the thunderstorms. He was currently hiding in his natal magic treasure, the Azure Nether Cauldron, trapped in the cave passage and unable to move forward.
Correspondingly, Xueyu was also hiding in the coffin of nurturing evil spirits, her heart filled with trepidation. She was a pitiful little fox, stuck with the ferocious evil spirit and two living corpses.
Its sense of security has plummeted. Since it started following Wang Yu, it has never been separated from its owner for such a long time, and it's truly terrified.
"Bang—"
Qi Sheng slammed his hand into the Azure Nether Cauldron, and a fierce wind howled around him, revealing the turmoil in his heart. If he continued to fight it out, he would not have the upper hand.
His companions should have shown some reaction after several days, but he was trapped in the thunderstorm, and even the communication jade talisman couldn't penetrate this thunder field.
This means being completely cut off from the outside world. If it only lasted for a day or two, that would be fine, but it's been four or five days now and there's no sign of it stopping.
This made him increasingly uneasy, fearing that he would be captured alive by the powerful figures of Yunling Prefecture. After this period of pursuit, he had realized Wang Yu's tactic of stalling for time.
This precisely demonstrates that the opponent had already devised a countermeasure when they entered the lightning-stricken pit.
He now only has two choices.
First, abandon the attempt to capture Wang Yu, use your natal magic weapon to protect yourself, force your way out of the thunderstorm area, return to the surface world, and if all goes well, you can safely return to Youzhou.
Second, they had to brave the thunderstorms to penetrate deeper. Wang Yu was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and defending against these thunderstorms was already very difficult for him, so moving was impossible.
Thinking this way, the probability of him catching the other party is still very high.
But one can't be too afraid of the unexpected. Even though Elder Ksitigarbha was about to condense his Nascent Soul, he didn't want to take any more risks for him.
"Qi has done more than enough; he is not one of those slackers. It's time for him to leave."
Having convinced himself, Qi Sheng did not linger.
He shrunk the Azure Nether Cauldron, hung it upside down above his head, and released the Azure Nether Gale to block all the violent thunder power, and also avoided the path he had come from.
Instead, he ascended diagonally, which caused him to miss the lightning orb that Wang Yu had gathered for his cultivation.
Thus, twelve days later.
Wang Yu felt his whole body filled with thick lightning energy, especially his arms. The lightning patterns that originally only covered his upper arms had spread all over his arms and even his body.
This means that the Wind and Thunder Secret Technique has been completely perfected. These spiritual patterns are like batteries that store the power of wind and thunder, and the spread of the spiritual patterns means that the capacity has increased.
Once it spreads throughout the body, it will naturally be complete.
Once the abundant thunder energy within is unleashed through a secret technique, Wang Yu dares not even imagine how much his strength will rise.
Correspondingly, because of the external storage, once this lightning energy is depleted, Wang Yu needs to continue absorbing wind and lightning power to recover. The automatic recovery speed is too slow, making it difficult to use it multiple times in a single battle.
"Unfortunately, only the lightning pattern is at its perfect level, and the wind pattern has only improved to a limited extent."
Wang Yu was already satisfied with this gain during his escape. This third-tier burst technique was enough for him to use until the peak of Core Formation. He could gradually expand the wind patterns; there was no need to rush.
After finishing his practice, Wang Yu cautiously sensed the situation above his head. Finding no trace of life, he then used the Purple Dragon Earth Travel Technique to return to the cave passage.
He couldn't help but use his divine sense to sense Xueyu's location. When he discovered that she hadn't moved for half a month, his brows furrowed.
soon.
"Awoooooo~"
"Um?"
"Awoooooo!"
"Hmm, I see."
After a difficult conversation, Wang finally realized the changes that had occurred in the past few days and rubbed the coffin with heartache.
Xueyu: "(o_0)???"
As a magical artifact of the Corpse Path, it was originally restrained by the extremely yang and strong power of thunder. After being bathed in the sea of thunder for half a month, the Taiyin Nourishing Evil Coffin had many more thunder patterns, and the color had faded.
There was also a large amount of lightning energy inside, which forced the Taiyin Sha Corpse into a corner.
Wang Yu: "..."
As for the two top-grade materials, they were not greatly affected, but they were also exposed to lightning for a period of time and developed lightning patterns.
This situation gave Wang Yu a sudden inspiration.
He suddenly unleashed the Profound Yin Hand, grabbing a large rock containing thunderous energy with one hand and using his other hand to carve out two stone coffins with his icy sword energy, placing the living bodies of the corpse demon and the corpse monster inside.
He dug up a large handful of thunderous soil from under his feet, buried it, and carefully sensed it with his divine sense. And you know what!
It actually produced some kind of mutation reaction.
The corpse demon went relatively smoothly, but the corpse ape was quite resistant; the yin and evil energy that had been accumulating within it for some time was completely evaporated.
Wang Yu tossed it aside again, leaving only the corpse demon material, and induced it to mutate with the thunder, causing Xue Yu to shrink and perch on his shoulder.
Carefully retracing the path they had come from, they began to retreat.
He wasn't sure if the pursuers had left, but so much time had passed that reinforcements from Yunling Prefecture should have arrived by now, so theoretically he was safe.
However, the secret method for searching mountains and finding demons still requires only half an incense stick's worth of time to be used.
At the same time, they continuously excavated soil filled with thunderous energy and poured it into the Nourishing Demon Coffin to cultivate corpse demon materials that mutated towards the thunder attribute.
Half a day later.
Wang Yu returned to the central area of the lightning-scarred pit.
Looking up, he could see tiny white dots, the size of grains of rice. These were the daytime sunlight on the ground, which, though unable to reach this spot, still brought Wang Yu a sense of security.
"it's over."
This lesson was truly profound. The difference between a powerful cultivator reaching the Core Formation stage and a rogue cultivator reaching the Core Formation stage taught him a lesson. He wondered how Qingyang was doing.
As his right-hand man, he absolutely cannot afford to have anything happen to him.
As Wang Yu spread his Frost Moon Wings and prepared to fly away, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck his side, crackling with blue and white light.
It did not land, but sped towards the central area.
As if drawn by something, Wang Yu's heart stirred. The Thunderfall Pit was so peculiar that it would be a lie to say it contained no rare spiritual objects.
At least there are lightning-attribute spiritual objects. It's obviously not normal that he traveled through the cave passage for so long without gaining anything.
He believed it if it were said that the treasure was in the center of a deep pit a hundred miles in diameter.
"Since we're already here, we might as well go and take a look."
Surely nothing bad will happen?
Wang Yu didn't say the second half of the sentence. With that thought in mind, he turned ninety degrees, spread his ice wings, and whooshed away!
As he got closer to the central region, he encountered more and more electric currents, which shot out from all directions like lightning snakes.
It keeps merging into the darkness in the distance.
Wang Yu's speed continued to increase, and gradually, dark skeletons appeared on the ground nearby, looking like they had been struck by lightning and turned into charcoal, with even the flesh and blood melted.
These corpses were everywhere, which reminded him of the legend of the Thunder Pit, which must be the source of the endless stream of treasure hunters.
They also noticed the anomaly in the middle, so they converged towards it? What kind of accident must have happened? The occasional electric current couldn't have caused this kind of injury.
"Could it be that they encountered a thunderstorm while approaching?"
Slightly puzzled, Wang Yu became more vigilant and used the secret technique of searching the mountain for demons even more frequently. He also recalled the legend about [Ji Meng].
This ancient beast once killed a Nascent Soul cultivator here. Whether it's true or not is unknown, but if it is, the danger ahead will be incalculable.
If it's fake, then what is it that caused this scene?
During the flight, Wang Yu suddenly stopped moving.
The Thunderfall Pit is located in the heart of Yunling Prefecture. If there were any Nascent Soul treasures there, they would have been taken by the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect long ago, leaving only danger behind.
Unless the special environment of this place gives birth to a new spiritual creature of the Thunder Path, this phenomenon is possible. But if a new spiritual creature is born, it will be taken away, right?
Unlike the ruins of Dongjijing, which have arrays, restrictions, and various ancient corpses and monsters in a closed and dormant state, this place is not an inaccessible forbidden area for Core Formation cultivators.
So, he suddenly hesitated.
"There must be a reason why no one is coming; it's best not to join the crowd."
Suppressing his curiosity, Wang Yu turned and flew upwards.
His regretful state of mind drove him to keep looking down, pushing his Yin Eyes to their limit. This was a gambler's mentality, something no one could escape.
Sure enough, the highly effective pupil technique allowed him to see something special.
In the state of gazing at the moon, one can directly see the shadows of all things.
Now, in his field of vision, just five miles away, in the deep darkness, there was something full of masculine energy, radiating a wave of spiritual energy.
Strictly speaking, the location of the spirit was not yet at the center of the pit.
"Look? Look!!"
