Chapter 472 Flattening the City Lord's Mansion, Seizing Life Essence, and Breaking Through to the Late Stage of Body Refinement!
The weather was fine and sunny, with not a cloud in the sky. A blinding ray of sunlight shone on the magnificent Shuiyun Xiandu, illuminating the city in a half-light and half-dark light.
Inside the city lord's mansion, in an ordinary hall.
Dou Zhao lowered his head, nervously answering Lord Yuan's question. Twenty years had passed, and even without particularly serious cultivation...
With her fire-type celestial spiritual root, she had already reached the peak of Qi Refining, just one step away from Foundation Establishment. She should have been busy with Foundation Establishment during this time.
She was suddenly summoned by the city lord's mansion. Although she was thinking about Wang Yu, who had disappeared for twenty years, she could not contact him no matter how the other party asked.
We can only try to explain it in a humble manner.
"Lord of the City, Dou Zhao and that senior only met by chance, and to put it mildly, they only had a meal together."
Dou Zhao then recounted the whole story in a straightforward manner, and placed Dou Shi in the position of a shameless, sycophantic person who had clung to him.
Rather than the relationship of ancestors or old friends.
This statement is entirely true and indirectly proves that Wang Yu has a good character, thus clearing him of suspicion that he is a demonic cultivator.
Of course, arguments should not be based solely on what others say.
Upon hearing this, Lord Yuan still smiled and said...
"If that's the case, then your Dou family has no other connection with that mysterious cultivator?"
"yes……"
Dou Zhao forced herself to answer, and it was true, because Wang Yu was a friend of hers, not the entire Dou family of Xishan. As for the value of this friendship, she had no idea.
"very good!"
Lord Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. The difference in their cultivation levels was enormous. He only needed to subtly observe Dou Zhao's expression with his divine sense to be able to confirm whether she was lying or not.
On the other hand, there is a mythical beast in Taihu Lake called Xiezhi, which has the ability to distinguish between reality and illusion; in layman's terms, it can distinguish lies.
Each of the law enforcement elders of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect wears a xiezhi crown.
This symbolizes that ability.
However, this strange beast lives in Taihu Lake, and Lord Yuan possesses a headband made from a horn that fell off a Xie Zhi (a mythical beast), which also gives him the ability to distinguish lies.
It only works on cultivators of the third rank and below, and it's currently being worn on his head.
The double authentication convinced him that Dou Zhao was not lying, so Dou Shi had nothing to worry about and was about to send Dou Zhao back.
A butler suddenly walked in from outside.
"Is there something you need, Third Young Master?"
This steward was the personal servant of his third son, serving as both his manager and protector. His sudden arrival made him think he had gotten into trouble again.
As a result, the old servant in charge sent a message through his mouth, glancing at Dou Zhao from time to time.
This immediately gave her a bad feeling.
A moment later.
"Miss Dou Zhao, the Third Young Master invites you."
After the old servant finished speaking, he invited Dou Zhao to move to the back garden of the city lord's mansion in front of Lord Yuan. Dou Zhao was naturally wary and her reluctance was on full display.
"Dou Zhao's father and uncles are all waiting outside the mansion and are currently unavailable. Perhaps we could ask the Third Young Master to reschedule for another day?"
The old servant immediately let out a cold laugh.
“Since it has nothing to do with that senior, Miss Dou, you don’t need to pretend anymore. You have to go today whether you like it or not. Please don’t make things difficult for this old servant.”
Dou Zhao remained calm and turned to look at Lord Yuan.
He said in a cold voice.
"Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Dou Zhao entered the city lord's mansion to be questioned. If something goes wrong, that senior might do something when he returns in the future."
"Does the city lord truly intend to allow his son to commit all sorts of evil deeds?"
Lord Yuan glanced at her with disdain.
"Little brat, Shuiyunxian is all from my Yuan family, and so is your life. Do you think I, the city lord, can't handle this small matter..."
Before the words were finished, a shout rang out from the sky.
"You bastard! How dare you insult my people?!"
With a loud bang.
Before the city lord's mansion could react, half of it collapsed, and countless dazzling blue-winged butterflies, carrying an endless sea of ice and fire, descended suddenly like heavenly fire burning the world.
Wang Yu released his divine sense at the peak of the fourth rank without reservation, causing knowledgeable cultivators to feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy. The flame power of the Ice Flame Butterfly was different from that of the Ice Dragon Pill Flame.
Although they exhibit the same properties, one is Gu Fire and the other is Dan Flame. In terms of offensive power, Gu Fire Ice Flame is stronger than Ice Dragon Dan Flame.
The destructive scene created by the butterflies and flames was breathtakingly beautiful. Dou Zhao stared at it all with a dazed look until that familiar figure in white appeared before her.
Dressed in white with silver hair, he was so handsome he seemed otherworldly.
He stared arrogantly at Lord Yuan.
The other party's face was also ashen: "Fellow Daoist, why have you gone to such lengths? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Azure Cloud Sect?!"
"Ask for your punishment? I will punish you today!"
Boom!
Dark clouds rolled across the sky, and thunder gathered.
A bolt of pitch-black lightning suddenly struck down. City Lord Yuan retreated and summoned his natal magic weapon, which resembled a small yellow-green cauldron, to withstand the black demon lightning.
He tried to call out to his Uncle Honghai for help, but the words got stuck in his throat and before he could utter a sound, everything went black.
In the boundless sea of blood, corpses piled up like mountains.
Blood Sea Asura rose from the midst of it, delivering a devastating blow to his soul.
Asura's Intent - Blood Slaughtering Heart-Destroying Sword!
A red line suddenly slashed out, and the blood and flesh demon sword composed of corpses and bones emitted an extremely terrifying bloody smell, which terrified Lord Yuan.
How could a mere early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator like him be targeted by a triple attack of a high-grade fourth-tier magic weapon, a magic intent, and a perfect fourth-tier divine ability?!
A line of blood flashed by, and Lord Yuan's body stiffened.
The sword light seemed to have cleaved the entire Shuiyun Immortal City in two, and as the primary target, City Lord Yuan's body was split in two.
My mind was devastated and fell into complete silence.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wang Yu stepped forward, and the evil thoughts of the Heavenly Demon surged forth, instantly controlling his body. He opened his mouth and gently inhaled.
Lord Yuan's plump and round body deflated rapidly like a balloon, and his nascent soul vanished silently. His immense life force quickly made Wang Yu's face rosy.
His body crackled and popped, and his immortal spiritual body was showing signs of entering the initial stage of cultivation. In fact, as long as he filled the gap in his life force, his immortal spiritual bones, which were nourished, would naturally complete the initial cultivation of his spiritual body.
Help him successfully enter the late stage of the fourth level of Body Refinement!
Lord Yuan's vitality was good, but it was still a little short. The gap left by the Heavenly Demon Flame was truly terrifying, and it almost damaged his foundation.
This was only because Wang Yu had replenished his lifespan twice by consuming the deer antler pearl; otherwise, his lifespan might have been greatly shortened.
In the field.
Lord Yuan fell too quickly; before the others could react, they were killed on the spot by Wang Yu with "three punches and two kicks," and even with incredibly demonic methods.
It's dried out...
Dou Zhao stood to the side, his expression solemn, and remained silent.
The old steward and servant collapsed to the ground, and before they could even plead for mercy, they were burned to ashes by the Ice Flame Butterfly.
at this time.
Dou Zhao finally spoke, his tone tinged with caution.
"Senior Wang...you..."
Wang Yu turned around and glanced at her.
"Haven't you always wanted to know the true identity of our ancestor? With your intelligence, you've probably already guessed it: he became a demonic cultivator."
"He should have broken through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm by now. He is known as the Yin Gui Demon Lord. I am his only close friend. He is a righteous man who schemes and does nothing human."
"Demonic cultivators are even more so; they don't even bother to act. The most essential thing in this world is power. Only power can dominate everything and control oneself!"
Wang Yu's string of words left Dou Zhao speechless.
With her talent, reaching the Core Formation stage was within her grasp, and with some effort, she could even reach the Nascent Soul stage. Dou Xiong's ability to become the head of the family was partly due to her birth.
As for her father's threats to force her to marry someone else.
It was just a reason to intimidate her into working hard at cultivation; otherwise, she should have at least chosen a husband instead of being forced to marry someone out of the blue.
"The current situation is not suitable for a long talk, nor is it suitable for discussing this kind of topic," she quickly said.
"You should leave quickly. The City Lord's Mansion has a fourth-order magic array and a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. There is also an ancient teleportation array near Shuiyun Immortal Capital. The support from Biyun Sect will arrive soon."
"It's alright."
Wang Yu waved his hand and said.
"Today I will teach you a lesson. Ants are worthless, but to the stronger ones, even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator is still an ant!"
Having said that, he soared into the sky.
The Yellow Springs Great Handprint suddenly extended, and the ground abruptly transformed into the Yellow Springs Swamp. The Yellow Springs Earthly Wraith Puppet, which had not appeared for a long time, kicked out, sending the Red Sea Old Taoist, who was rushing to the center of the formation, flying into the air.
It came into contact with Wang Yu's outstretched hand from the underworld.
These kinds of supernatural abilities that extend the limbs can combine the power of a body cultivator, especially Wang Yu's ability to compress the boundless brute force of the Silver Blood Divine Marrow into a small space using a force field.
Even though the Yellow Springs Great Handprint has not yet advanced to the fourth level.
It also displayed an extremely powerful aura. As the old Taoist priest from the Red Sea exclaimed in surprise, the magic weapon he summoned was actually a fire-tipped spear.
Despite his thin and frail appearance, he was a master of close combat, and crimson flames surged from his musket, attempting to incinerate the Yellow Spring Hand.
As a result, the Ice Flame Butterflies rushed forward, and the Ice Flame and Crimson Flame clashed to a standstill. Wang Yu then opened his mouth again and unleashed the Ice Dragon Technique with the Ice Dragon Flame.
It directly suppressed the crimson sea of fire released by the Fire-Tipped Spear.
Huang Quan's hand easily grasped the old Taoist priest of the Red Sea, turning him into a smooth, bald old man in the blink of an eye.
"Fellow Daoist, please calm your anger. This matter was entirely caused by City Lord Yuan; it is not my fault!"
"So what? I just want to kill you."
The aurora borealis is shimmering.
Wang Yu suddenly appeared in front of the old Taoist priest in the Red Sea, and once again used the Asura Dharma Intent, this time as one of his killing techniques, the Eye Killing Sword!
The sword flashes with a chilling light, highlighting its swiftness.
The mind is terrified by the killing intent, and the Asura's Dharma intent is specifically designed to destroy the mind.
After the old Taoist priest of the Red Sea fell silent, the evil thoughts of the Heavenly Demon replicated the actions taken against Lord Yuan. Wang Yu opened his mouth and took a light breath, and his slightly pale face immediately turned rosy.
My vitality was fully replenished, and I felt my bones were all restless, with an unbearable itching sensation.
This is a sign that the immortal spirit body is about to enter the realm of enlightenment.
Having slain two Nascent Soul cultivators from Shuiyun Immortal Capital, the Biyun Sect should have realized what was happening. Wang Yu needs to leave as soon as possible and find a place to break through to the Body Refinement Realm.
He had already turned Taihu Lake into a hunting ground.
Using the Blood Elixir Path and Human Elixir Path together in the placement bar will be a shortcut for him to quickly complete the accumulation of the Nascent Soul stage. Since it can be done, there is no reason not to give it a try.
These insects are just wasting air by living; they might as well achieve their own great path!
In the pursuit of power.
Wang Yu is the most cruel and ruthless demonic master. The title of Extreme Law Profound Pill Demon Lord will spread from Chi Yuan to Taihu Lake, and this process will be very fast.
I acquired two new Nascent Soul storage rings.
Wang Yu landed in front of Dou Zhao and spoke succinctly.
"Will you come with me?"
Dou Zhao was puzzled for a moment, but immediately realized what was going on.
"You mean the Dou family of Xishan will be implicated and punished?"
"Of course, things have blown up."
Wang Yu nodded and then said something else.
"Later, I will use my great magic to create an ice monument and make public the cause and effect of the cold wave disaster, as well as the city lord's mansion's act of making local powerful families take the blame."
"If the Biyun Sect still wants to maintain its moral high ground, they will definitely investigate this matter again, and the two people who died at my hands will be condemned as criminals."
"While the Dou family of Xishan may not be wiped out, your excessive contact with me will be a weakness, and once the situation is exposed, the entire clan will be punished!"
Wang Yu didn't say much about some things.
It was a struggle among the seven branches of the Biyun Sect. The rivals of the Hongyun branch would not let go of this opportunity to kick him while he was down, but he was also facing a dangerous situation.
Faced with this sudden situation, Dou Zhao was forced to make a quick decision, and she spoke immediately.
“I’ll go with you. Let me say a few more words to my father. They’re outside the city lord’s mansion.”
"good."
With a wave of his hand, Wang Yu escorted Dou Zhao to Dou Xiong and the others outside the City Lord's Mansion. A thousand-foot-tall ice monument rose from the ruins at an extremely fast speed.
Dou Xiong and others witnessed the entire incident.
However, given their cultivation level and perception, they were still somewhat confused and had not yet figured out what had happened.
Dou Zhao arrived suddenly.
Dou Xiong was a little confused.
"Zhao...Zhao'er? Why did you suddenly come out? What happened inside?"
"Senior Wang has arrived. The situation is urgent, so I can only tell you the important points. The city lord and the inspector both died at Senior Wang's hands. The experts from the Biyun Sect will arrive soon via the ancient teleportation array."
"I will leave with Senior Wang. The Dou family may face some criticism in the future, but we will endure it as much as we can. When my daughter returns from her apprenticeship, she will surely restore the Dou family's honor!"
She knew perfectly well what was going on.
Leaving with Wang Yu was also extremely dangerous, as the dangers they would face were all at the Nascent Soul level, and someone as insignificant as her could easily die in the aftershocks.
So he could only use the pretext of learning a skill to temporarily deceive his relatives and friends.
Having witnessed Wang Yu's demeanor, the Dou family members believed him without a second thought, even assuming that Wang Yu killed the city lord and the inspector because of Dou Zhao.
After all, it was no secret that the latter was coveted by the city lord's纨绔子弟 (son of a spoiled, dissolute young man), and there were many instances of him being publicly insulted.
"Zhao'er, is there a set date for your return...?"
Upon hearing this...
Dou Zhao, who had been in a very stable mood, suddenly had tears welling up in her eyes.
There are very few emotions in this world that can truly reach the heart.
Family ties are one of them.
And this journey... may very well be a one-way trip. Dou Zhao couldn't bring herself to say these words, and could only choke back a few sobs while trying to put on her brightest smile.
"Don't worry, Zhao'er will come back."
"must!"
Sizzle~
Black Lightning unleashed a bolt of dark lightning, and Wang Yu suddenly appeared, nodding to the crowd. He grabbed Dou Zhao's shoulder with one hand and abruptly transformed into a beam of light, soaring into the sky.
Not long after, an iceberg crashed down.
The city lord's mansion in Shuiyun Xiandu was completely razed to the ground.
A terrifying cold wave spread out, freezing even the moisture in the air, like countless ice flowers blooming in the sky, with extreme cold power brewing within it.
This caused the frozen ice flowers to turn black.
The entire lineage of the City Lord's Mansion was wiped out, leaving only the ice crystal monument standing tall, its enormous characters ensuring that people within several kilometers could clearly see it.
The Ice Prison Demon Seal that Wang Yu deliberately created left behind a very strong demonic aura and the extraordinary power of a fifth-order divine ability.
Although the first level of "Ice Prison Suppresses Heaven and Earth" mainly focuses on control, its power is far beyond what an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator can withstand. The low temperature alone can cause the Nascent Soul's physical body to completely necrotize.
The purpose of deliberately leaving this trace is primarily for deterrence.
At the same time, the Biyun Sect was tasked with guessing who the demonic Nascent Soul cultivator who had "infiltrated" the Taihu Spiritual Domain was.
After that, Wang Yu led Dou Zhao northwards.
They set off towards the Ice Plains State with the aim of hunting down Nascent Soul cultivators from the Azure Cloud Sect and continuing to accumulate the main ingredients for refining the Blood Infant Pill.
I have experienced the wonderful effects of the Blood Path Elixir.
The slow and inefficient process of using genuine elixirs is indeed quite inefficient.
It is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to simplicity.
That's the point.
On the way, the wondrous light and the harmonious flow of energy gave Dou Zhao a feeling of being caressed all over his body. Even when using flying artifacts, most Qi Refining cultivators are still standing.
Foundation Establishment cultivators possess the ability to levitate, but only those in the Core Formation stage who have cultivated escape techniques have the means to fly using the power of escape light.
The unprecedented experience made her unable to help but speak up.
To prevent themselves from getting lost in this place and making a fool of themselves.
"Senior Wang, where...are we going?"
"Ice Plains, in coordination with the cultivators of Cold Blood Peak, will break through Ice River Pass from within and without."
Wang Yu made no attempt to conceal his true intentions.
Despite his escape, he actually anticipated that the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect would be unable to withstand the pressure from the Refining Heaven Demon Sect and would be "forced" to hand him over.
Leaving on his own not only saves face for everyone, but also gives the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect a plausible excuse for not handing over Wang Yu.
Otherwise, when he entered the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect's mountain gate, it's hard to say about others, but the sect leader in charge of the sect's Demon Star Strategy would definitely have discovered him, and Wang Yu's condition at that time was not good.
Only a head remained, wandering around as if seeking death.
This tacit understanding also led to the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect remaining tight-lipped about Wang Yu's affairs, neither explicitly stating that he had defected nor saying that he was innocent and asking him to return.
They can stay outside; the people there are still from the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect.
The death of Jiaoyang was also a secret, and the blame was placed on the head of the Crimson Heaven Demon Lord. The Yellow Springs Temple Master can testify to this, as he personally witnessed the Crimson Heaven destroy Jiaoyang's physical body.
Only the nascent soul, on the verge of destruction, escaped.
Therefore, it was perfectly normal for Wang Yu to cater to Han Xuefeng's strategic intentions at this time and use this opportunity to hunt down the Nascent Soul cultivators of Taihu Lake.
However, by stating it so frankly, Dou Zhao was caught off guard.
"Senior, aren't you trusting Dou Zhao too much?"
"Trust? You're just a burden now. Who else can you rely on besides me?"
The words were so genuine that Dou Zhao was speechless.
After a moment of silence.
Wang Yu said.
"I heard everything you said outside the City Lord's Mansion. Are you willing to practice demonic cultivation techniques from now on?"
Dou Zhao was surprised, but also delighted.
"Disciple greets Master!"
Wang Yu seemed surprised by her answer, his escape light froze for a moment, and then he said nonchalantly.
"We'll discuss the apprenticeship ceremony after we arrive at our destination."
"Uh-huh."
This time, unlike in Guiling City, where he casually took in two family members for personal gain, it was purely a matter of kinship. Wang Yu didn't touch the two sisters who offered themselves up.
This shows how clear his mind is. Now, taking Dou Zhao as his disciple is different from before. She is a descendant of the Yin Gui lineage, so there is a connection between them.
In addition, those words reminded Wang Yu of his own turbulent days, which is why he believed that when taking on disciples, one must teach them real skills.
Dou Zhao has the Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root, which clashes with his approach.
However, after obtaining the innate demonic body, the ice cultivation method was no longer Wang Yu's only option. He could even wait until his cultivation level reached the required standard and then directly switch to cultivating the second half of the "Rakshasa True Demon Scripture"!
The Demonic Embryo Body encompasses all things, allowing for rapid advancement in any demonic cultivation method, free from attribute limitations.
The reason he persisted in cultivating the "Ice Soul Holy Demon Scripture" was because his foundation was built in this way. After cultivating the ice path for so many years, the amount of cold and icy spiritual objects he absorbed was astronomical.
This resulted in his Frozen Demon Essence being extremely strong, and his cold power was no less than that of the Ice Soul Fairy. It would be a real pity to give it up like this.
As for Dou Zhao's approach, we still need to consider it carefully.
Regarding the Fire Element Demonic Art, the Refining Heaven Demonic Sect has the most authority to speak on it. Perhaps they can find a way to work on it in the future. Before breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, Dou Zhao's foundation in the demonic path is not yet fully formed, so there is no need to rush.
After flying for several days, the two crossed from Shuiyun Prefecture into Bingyuan Prefecture. Wang Yu decided to find a treasure land with a second-tier spiritual vein to help Dou Zhao establish his foundation first.
On the other hand, it was also to find out the situation of the battle and find a suitable time to make a move.
in this way.
A month or so passed in the blink of an eye.
…………
…………
In the eastern part of Bingyuan Prefecture, the area near Binghe Pass has been completely controlled. Mortals have been relocated to cities in the rear, and the front lines have been occupied by cultivators from the Biyun Sect.
Half of them were temporarily taken over by the Lieyang Sect, which came to provide support, and were nominally to be under the command of the Biyun Sect's overall war commander.
In reality, they can only set the general direction; the details of the battle still need to be decided by the Lieyang Sect itself.
That day.
Hansong City, Xingluo Restaurant.
Using human skin as a medium, Wang Yu cast a spell to change his appearance and ventured alone into the city to gather information. Dou Zhao had already been placed by him in a second-tier spiritual vein of a small family in the mountains.
With the Yellow Springs Grudge Puppet protecting him closely, there shouldn't be any major problems.
At that time.
Several disciples of the Lieyang Sect, dressed in crimson robes with raven patterns, were drinking heavily. After just a few drinks, they were already quite drunk and dared to say anything.
This was naturally Wang Yu's doing. After the Taiyin Youtong completely refined that lunar core fragment, it was already perfected, which resulted in the four eye techniques—"Guan Yue," "Huan Yue," "Meteor Yue," and "Kong Yue"—simultaneously reaching the fourth level.
Under the derivative effects of the Illusionary Moon Technique, even the slightest force is enough to make these cultivators, whose highest level is no more than Foundation Establishment, reveal everything that Wang Yu wants to know.
"I heard that those bastards from the Biyun Sect were recently humiliated by a rising star of the demonic path."
"Oh? Tell me more~"
Wang Yu hadn't expected that the first thing that impressed them was about his deeds in Shuiyun Xiandu, and his expression immediately became somewhat strange.
"That man called himself the Supreme Law Demon Lord, the ultimate in law, how arrogant he was! But what he did was indeed fierce. His sword light combed Shui Yunxian's hair into a middle part, and the city lord's mansion was flattened into a bald spot."
"Half of the Yuan family of the Hongyun lineage was wiped out, a devastating loss. The filth they committed has been exposed to the world, and the Biyun Sect is now in a complete mess!"
The other person exclaimed in shock.
"Such a thing actually happened? Has the Demon Lord of Extreme Law been brought to justice?"
"Never heard of it. I heard it disappeared, and no tracking method can find any trace of it."
At this moment, the third person looked worried.
"What do you think we should do if he comes to Binghe Pass?"
The others fell silent for a long time.
A short while later.
Then someone said weakly.
"The Yin Beasts of the Underworld Mountain Sect are restrained by the Fire Crow Clan, and our sect's Golden Flame Dao Lord has even mastered the Golden Crow Divine Power Technique, so he should not be afraid of this Extreme Law Demon Lord."
"One thing at a time. Didn't that Yin Jiao Demon Lord also beat Huang Yun the old Taoist so badly that he even had half of his kidney bitten off? They are both late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. Excluding the factor of their methods being mutually restraining, it's hard to say who will win or lose."
After listening for a while, we finally got some decent information.
"Golden Flame and Yin Dragon, huh?"
These two are quite famous; after all, at the level of Grand Cultivators, they are basically well-known figures in both regions, except for a few who have just broken through and haven't yet achieved any notable feats, such as Bi Shui...
"Sigh, these powerful figures are too far away from us. Let's talk about something closer. Half a year ago, almost all of my brothers died in that battle, leaving only you few cronies."
"I wonder if Kuang Meishan can continue to hold on."
Upon hearing the name "Kuang Meishan," Wang Yu's heart stirred.
The Ice River Pass is located above the Jade River, and there are three routes to conquer it.
One approach is to launch a direct assault, but the success rate is quite low.
The perilous passes in the cultivation world are not only due to the terrain, but also to the special environment, the arrays and restrictions accumulated over many years, etc., all of which are insurmountable barriers to attack!
Secondly, they attacked underwater. The depth of the Qingyu River was unimaginable. It was the most famous river in the Ice Prison Realm, which could be connected directly to Taihu Lake, and its basin spanned most of the Ice Prison Realm.
Thirdly, there is "Kuangmei Mountain," whose altitude is the highest in the Ice Prison Realm, even surpassing the high-altitude gale layer, and one can reach the summit by following this path.
It can bypass the limits of the Ice River Pass's air-restricting magic and directly travel along the cloud path, skipping the Ice River Pass to invade the Taihu Spirit Realm.
This strategy also has two flaws.
First, it is difficult to attack; second, it is difficult to ensure the retreat after invasion, and there is a risk of being surrounded and annihilated; moreover, only Core Formation cultivators can withstand the re-entry into the Gangfeng layer.
Therefore, it is necessary to match the carrying capacity of the warship.
Wang Yu had read the million books in the Sutra Recitation Hall and knew these topographical maps by heart. For low-level cultivators, these were secrets that were difficult to know.
They learned that the focus of the battle at Binghe Pass was Kuang Meishan.
He then understood the situation.
He quietly left the restaurant and returned to the small family he had temporarily controlled in the mountains. Dou Zhao's foundation-building spiritual item was provided by him.
I was looking for this little gadget back then.
He had been tormented quite a bit, but for him now, there was no shortage of suffering. Dou Zhao was breaking through to a higher realm, and Wang Yu was also preparing to cultivate and thoroughly master the Immortal Spirit Body.
Once you break through to the late stage of the fourth-order Body Refinement, all the obstacles on this path have disappeared, making the breakthrough effortless.
If he succeeds, he can indeed comfortably accept the title of a great cultivator, and he will also be able to refine some new magical artifacts for his own use.
Most of what he gleaned from the Emperor's Treasury was nothing special, but a few items were quite good.
Take, for example, that damaged three-pointed double-edged spear.
After being refined into a true weapon of flesh and blood using the Demon Refining Technique, it was perfect for him to unleash his physical cultivation, since the Demon Dragon Armor was a treasure that enhanced defense.
He's still missing a suitable close-combat weapon. As the saying goes, brute force can overcome any skill. Soon, Wang Yu will enter this stage and demonstrate the divine talent of a body-refining cultivator who is invincible in close combat.
Although this method consumes a lot of resources, it can reach this stage.
In terms of physical strength alone, there is really no cultivator of the same realm in the Ice Prison Realm who can compare with him, especially after he has completed the integration of the Immortal Spirit Bone and cultivated the fifth-order Immortal Spirit.
Even if he wanted to die, it would be difficult!
With high hopes for the future, Wang Yu broke through near Dou Zhao's secluded training ground, and another year passed in the blink of an eye.
That day.
In the cave filled with hundreds of top-grade spirit stones, Wang Yu's seated body suddenly unleashed a terrifying suction force, with the essence of spiritual energy gathering into a funnel shape.
All of it was absorbed into his body, and under the massive flow of spiritual energy, it was all absorbed.
The immortal spiritual bone immediately shone with a dazzling light, making his physical body look like a transparent cicada's shell, with all the bones connected even more tightly.
Both toughness and hardness are increasing linearly.
Today, after many years of practicing body refinement, he has finally broken through to the late stage of the fourth rank. Following this, his Silver Blood Divine Marrow became even more viscous, with faint golden threads mixed in.
The immortal aura emanating from the bones forms an invisible bone membrane. This membrane offers no protection against offensive supernatural powers, but it possesses a very special effect.
It can withstand the erosion of time. Even after thousands or tens of thousands of years, even after Wang Yu has been dead for many years, the immortal spiritual bones will not decay and will remain as smooth as ever.
The phrase "immortal body" describes this kind of immortality.
If faced with dire circumstances, this immortal bone membrane can become a lifeline, preserving the last wisp of life essence, and can even revive under suitable conditions.
Of course, there are prerequisites.
The premise is that Wang Yu's lifespan has not yet been exhausted. Resurrection within this range will have no impact. Beyond the lifespan, it will lead to rapid aging and other conditions.
—Until I die of old age!
Someone once said: The so-called method of immortality is just a way to rely on not dying.
As long as you find the right direction, there are many lineages to choose from. This immortal bone membrane, unique to body cultivators, may also have this potential.
It expands from the skeleton to the flesh, and then to truly affect the passage of time, hiding outside the river of time, unaffected by its flow.
It's not impossible!
However, the level of cultivation it requires is beyond even Wang Yu's reach. The path of cultivation is full of detours, thorns, and difficulties.
"More effort is still needed..."
Let me conclude with a four-character phrase as an evaluation of this period.
Wang Yu hurriedly left the temporary cave dwelling and indeed saw Dou Zhao, who had broken through to the first level of Foundation Establishment. The Dou family's inherited cultivation techniques were few in number, with the highest reaching only the third level.
Judging from its strength, it is at most a mid-grade third-level cultivation technique.
The supernatural powers only include the most basic Three Elixir Flame Breathing Method, which is somewhat too rudimentary.
"Congratulations, Master, on your completion of seclusion!"
Seeing this, Wang Yu deliberately patted Dou Zhao's head.
"I will first pass on a secret technique to you. Study it carefully. If you don't understand anything, just ask me. But remember to tell me when you are practicing."
The teachings he transmitted were the foundation of Wang Yu's rise to power.
The Secret Technique of Demon Embryo Xuanyuan!
The mortality rate of cultivating this secret technique was too high, so Wang Yu came up with a compromise: to let Dou Zhao absorb the evil thoughts of the Heavenly Demon within him and nurture the demonic embryo.
Isn't this also a form of exploiting bugs?
Eight thousand words per chapter!
