Chapter 494 The Great Cultivator Meets an Old Friend Again!
Wang Yu gained a great deal from this seclusion that lasted for sixty years.
Almost all the treasures that could temporarily enhance comprehension had been used up, and even the Daoist essence of the Heavenly Enlightenment Platform had been exhausted, leaving it as nothing more than an ordinary stone seat.
First, let's talk about magical artifacts.
The Taihe Blood Cauldron and the Thunder Fiend Coffin both advanced to the mid-grade fourth rank magic treasures. The Thunder Corpse, thanks to the feng shui wonders he set up, underwent a transformation over sixty years and also successfully broke through to the mid-grade fourth rank.
These unorthodox methods were barely usable, but they gradually couldn't keep up with his cultivation speed, and their effectiveness became weaker and weaker. Even if they still had potential, the value of investing in them was greatly reduced.
Unless it is given to someone else to use, or traded away in a high-level treasure exchange event.
He hasn't thought about it yet; he'll just keep raising it for now.
In terms of Dharma intent, the Asura Dharma intent is completely perfected and cannot be advanced further, while the Aurora Dharma intent has reached the minor completion stage, which can help him completely surpass the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
At that speed, Chi Tian could definitely escape.
To some extent, as long as he doesn't step into a trap, even if he's no match for Chi Tian, he's not as afraid of him as he used to be.
At the same time, Wang Yu comprehended the rudimentary form of the third type of Dharma intent.
That is—the Dharma of the Yellow Springs!
This caused his Nascent Soul strength to surge again, and with the nourishment of three kinds of Dharma intent, his growth rate far exceeded ordinary people's imagination. This was all thanks to the placement slot.
In terms of supernatural powers and secret techniques.
The Corpse Demon Secret Technique has officially advanced to the fifth tier. Based on his body refiner physique, it can also add the strength of a fifth-tier zombie physique. The Yin Blood Pill Recovery Secret Technique has also advanced accordingly.
It was enough to allow him to quickly restore the spiritual essence of his immortal spiritual bones.
Its strategic value has been greatly enhanced.
He had reached the minor success of the fifth-order divine ability, Ice Prison Demon Seal, which was basically his limit. If he wanted to comprehend it further, he would have to have the cultivation level of a Nascent Soul cultivator, otherwise he would not be able to use it at all.
The fifth-tier physical body divine ability, Immortal Spirit Body, has also advanced to the minor completion stage. This physical body divine ability is mainly for defense and also has the function of assisting in improving body refinement cultivation.
The advancement of supernatural powers leads to further evolution of the physical body.
Judging from its strength, it has reached at least the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage. Half of the silver blood essence in the dragon's spine has turned golden, providing the physical body with a continuous source of unparalleled divine power.
In close combat, Wang Yu is practically invincible in the Ice Prison Realm.
He has mastered most of the other supernatural powers and secret techniques.
In particular, regarding the Yellow Springs Divine Power, ever since the Yellow Springs Abbot gave him the methods for advancing and cultivating all kinds of divine powers, he has been using his commission to refine pills for the Northern Demon Clan.
He gradually upgraded all his Yellow Spring Divine Powers to the fourth rank.
Unless there is still value in further upgrading, the placement slots are basically occupied by cultivation techniques.
The improvement in cultivation techniques is also considerable.
The Ice Soul Holy Demon Scripture was upgraded to the fifth level, becoming a true Divine Transformation inheritance. As a result, his demonic energy cultivation speed increased dramatically.
His innate divine power, the Twelve Phases of the Moon, reached the fifth level ahead of schedule.
Unfortunately, lacking the foundation of Nascent Soul cultivation, even with a perfect realm, he could not unleash its full power and could only exert it to the limit within its capabilities.
Furthermore, he also mastered the physical superpower [Dragon Emperor Fist] obtained from the ancient Human Emperor's secret vault, replacing the Ten Directions Frozen Demon Fist and becoming Wang Yu's strongest trump card, without exception!
The configuration at the Nascent Soul stage is almost maxed out.
Even if he advances to the Nascent Soul stage on the spot, his supernatural powers and secret techniques will still grant him considerable strength, at least ensuring he won't be at the bottom among those of the same realm.
The only shortcoming is in terms of magical artifacts. While flesh and blood magical artifacts can be used temporarily, traditional magical artifacts are still needed to bring significant boosts.
Regarding spiritual consciousness.
The Ancient Soul Technique simultaneously advanced to the fifth rank, causing Wang Yu's divine sense to surge, basically reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul realm. The next step would be the Divine Transformation realm.
This level cannot be reached ahead of time.
When a nascent soul transforms into a primordial spirit, it needs to completely merge with divine consciousness to achieve the unity of the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit. Only by achieving this can the nascent soul undergo its transformation.
Currently, there are seven slots for items: three fundamental cultivation techniques, one Ancient Soul Technique, one Yinming Demon Dragon Technique, and the last two are temporarily being studied in the Yellow Springs Dharma Intent.
This kind of ethereal, intangible thing is perfect for placement in the inventory, but its ability to evolve and upgrade is currently stalled.
When Wang Yu placed the Asura Dharma Intent at its perfect level, there was no reaction and no progress bar appeared below. He suspected that it was limited by the level.
The further advancement of the Dharma's intent leads to the power of artistic conception.
Only cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage can wield it. A cultivator can only comprehend one realm of intent in their lifetime, and he hasn't yet considered how to develop it specifically.
There is also the unique realm of Nascent Soul cultivators—the Law of Heaven and Earth!
Wang Yu currently only has three options.
The [Undying Blood Magic Image] of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, as well as the [White Bone Demon God Image] and [Yellow Spring Azure Sky Image] of the Yellow Spring Temple, are not very compatible with him.
Since the "Ice Soul Holy Demon Scripture" for advancement in this area lacks knowledge of Dharma forms, he is helpless. It would be best to cultivate a half-body Dharma form before breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
In this way, it can be used immediately as soon as a breakthrough is made.
The Yellow Springs Temple Master and the Blood Demon Palace Master were in the same situation. He, on the other hand, did not have a suitable one at hand, and being too young, and also cultivating three kinds of Dharma intent, he was indeed a bit overwhelmed.
In short, he gained so much from his sixty years of seclusion.
The most significant improvement is in fundamental cultivation.
When a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator breaks through to the late-Nascent Soul stage, the demonic energy within their body will condense from a liquid state back into a solid state, forming a celestial landscape within their Qi Sea.
It takes ten thousand drops of magic essence to condense into one magic essence crystal.
He could break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm by condensing ten pills, which he had already accomplished while digesting the Blood Infant Pill. His subsequent years of seclusion were spent accumulating on this foundation.
Breaking through to the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage only requires twenty Magic Crystals.
Breaking through to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage requires fifty Demon Essence Crystals.
The Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage involves ninety-nine crystals. After breaking through to the Deity Transformation stage, the essence, energy, and spirit unite, and the Demonic Essence Crystals will return to a gaseous state, forming a magical power with a leap in quality.
Wang Yu has accumulated about seventeen Demon Essence Crystals. He is only three crystals away from breaking through, which is equivalent to 30,000 drops of Demon Essence. At his current cultivation speed, he should be able to make another breakthrough in ten years at most.
He estimated that when the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm opened, he would barely be able to reach the edge of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage. This astonishing breakthrough speed was 60% due to the Blood Infant Pill.
This thing's effects are truly miraculous, and it hasn't caused any adverse effects.
The cultivation methods of the cannibalistic school are indeed quick.
The problem is that he needs to consume too many Nascent Souls. At least one-third of the Nascent Souls of the entire Biyun Sect are in his hands, plus some scattered ones from the Demonic Path and some from the Lieyang Sect.
It was all built up by him, and only 40% of the effort was put into the placement bar. This thing was built step by step, each step as if Wang Yu himself had worked hard to achieve it.
He would have needed to be at least three times older to have achieved his current level of strength.
And now, it is May of the 111th year of his ancestor's life.
He is only 298 years old at most, two years away from 300. At this age, he has just used up the lifespan he gained when he broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Given that a Nascent Soul cultivator has a lifespan of 1,600 years, he is still very young.
Standing at the entrance of the secluded stone chamber.
Wang Yu quickly reviewed his gains over the years, calculating that the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm would open in about thirty years, and he would still have time to continue improving his strength during this period.
In terms of magical artifacts, we can strengthen them; we can also start considering the advancement of the Ice Dragon Flame and Black Demon Lightning; and there is still room for improvement in our body tempering strength.
Such and such things... are far from enough to be considered worry-free.
and.
Now he is gradually taking the observers from outside the realm into account in all matters. The Ice Prison Realm is becoming increasingly chaotic, and this person will most likely make a move in advance to avoid encountering something like an ancient demon breaking through the seal.
For this person, the consequences of dereliction of duty should be quite severe, and there is room for maneuver in this regard.
The observers possess the ability to eavesdrop on the sounds of an entire realm.
He was called the Six-Eared Thief by his ancestors, which shows that he had personally participated in the crime; otherwise, he would never have been exposed. This factor should also be taken into account.
At the same time, the observers possess a terrifying intelligence advantage.
Logically, the best place to place a piece is in the Sword Sect, and there may even be more than one.
The Ice Clan, the Demonic Path... the possibilities are not low. We must be extra careful in the future. The secret technique [Concealing All Six Senses] obtained from the Ancient Beast Ancestor Mountain is one of the best ways to deal with it.
Just as Wang Yu stood at the edge, overlooking the scenery.
The Azure Roc of the Sky Roc Clan landed beside Wang Yu and said with a respectful expression, "Congratulations on Master Xuandan's emergence from seclusion. The Holy Lord invites you!"
This demon also possesses the cultivation of the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage. From Fellow Daoist Wang to Alchemist Wang, and then to Master Xuandan, it is evident how many spiritual pills Wang Yu has refined for the Northern Demon Clan over the past sixty years.
There were a total of sixty batches. If we calculate that each batch of fourth-grade top-quality spiritual pills contains three pills, then there would be one hundred and eighty pills. This amount would be more than enough to give one pill to each Nascent Soul cultivator.
If allocated properly, it would be enough to elevate the overall strength of the Northern Demon Clan to a whole new level; it wouldn't be an exaggeration for them to treat Wang Yu like royalty.
However, the fourth-tier spiritual materials of the Northern Demon Clan are not inexhaustible. After refining these sixty batches, they also collected sixty kinds of top-grade fourth-tier spiritual materials.
It has basically digested all the accumulation of the past few years.
The frequency of alchemy requests is decreasing, so it's time for Wang Yu to go out and explore, and perhaps acquire some spiritual items to enhance his own strength.
"Lead the way."
Following Peng Qing through numerous demon palaces, whenever they encountered a powerful demon, they would respectfully address him as "Master," clearly indicating that they knew who the Northern Demon Clan's current benefactor was.
The win-win cooperation process elevated Wang Yu's relationship with the Northern Demon Clan to a new level, and they basically had to give him face.
After about half a cup of tea's time.
The Five-Colored Temple is the office of the Northern Demon Lord.
“Brother Xuandan, you’ve finally emerged from seclusion. Once King Tianpeng and the others arrive, we’ll host a three-day, three-night banquet to celebrate your return.”
Wang Yu raised an eyebrow; this "brother" was being addressed far too intimately.
"It's not that exaggerated. Does the Holy Lord have something to ask of you?"
"That's a good thing."
The Five-Colored Holy Lord descended the steps and came to Wang Yu's side.
"Brother, have you ever heard of the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm?"
"--oh?"
Wang Yu hadn't expected the Five-Colored Saint Lord to bring this up directly, so he could only pretend not to know and ask in a curious tone.
“Your Majesty may elaborate.”
"The Heavenly Palace Secret Realm was created by the Ice Phoenix Venerable, the first Holy Lord of the Demon Clan in ancient times, and it contains a large number of rare spiritual objects from ancient times that are now extinct."
"Only the Holy Decree can be opened. It can be considered a legacy left to the demon race by the Ice Phoenix Holy Lord. There are a total of 108 Holy Decrees. Many have been lost over the years. The Northern Demon Clan now only has 40 left. Brother, would you be interested in going to retrieve the treasure together?"
Wang Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he realized the problem.
The Five-Colored Holy Lord's expression was sincere, not like he was lying. He promised such great benefits not only because of his alchemy skills, but also because his cultivation potential was also top-notch.
This is an attempt to completely bind him to the Northern Demon Clan's war chariot.
only.
The Ice Phoenix Saint Lord was the first Venerable of the Ice Clan. Because of his resemblance to an ice phoenix, he was mistaken for one, which led to the ancient demon race actually serving the Ice Clan all along.
This secret seems flawless, but in fact it has many flaws.
Wang Yu did not believe that the Five-Colored Holy Lord was completely unaware of the situation.
But what exactly they're planning is anyone's guess.
In the blink of an eye.
Wang Yu actually had no reason to refuse.
"Since the Holy Lord has shown me such favor, it would be rather rude of me not to accept. When exactly will the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm open?"
"According to calculations by the elders of the clan, there are about thirty-four years left."
How do I turn it on?
"Naturally, it will be the blood of the Ice Phoenix. Our clan still has some of that, so you don't need to worry about it, my brother. Just enjoy the feast ahead."
After saying that, he clapped his hands.
Several stunningly beautiful demon servants approached, massaging shoulders and playing flutes, their bodies and music resonating simultaneously, thus beginning a grand banquet.
Wang Yu secluded himself for sixty years, which was also extremely tedious.
Of course, I don't mind relaxing for a few days.
…………
…………
One month later.
Full of energy and with a ruddy complexion, Wang leisurely departed from the Northern Demon Clan. He toured the Northern Demon Clan's archives, noting down many secrets.
He noted down the locations of some high-level secret realms in the Taihu and Chiyuan regions that could meet his needs, and spent the next thirty years traveling around to join in the fun.
Updating or replacing part of the magic weapon is basically all that's needed.
The further one progresses in cultivation, the less sensitive one becomes to the passage of time. Counting back, when he parted ways with Yan Ling, he had agreed to meet her one last time beforehand.
It was both a discussion of countermeasures against the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm and an advance preparation, since he had only reached the Core Formation stage when the agreement was made, and at that time he estimated that he would be lucky to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
He inevitably needed to prepare many trump cards in advance. As a result, the later the stage, the faster Wang Yu cultivated. After fully developing the wonderful uses of the Human Pill Technique, he soared to new heights.
Since we can already compete head-on, there's no need to resort to meaningless underhanded tactics.
in addition.
Since the Five-Colored Holy Lord has taken the initiative to invite him, he will surely prepare a Holy Decree for him. It is enough to carry his true form and Xueyu. He can then entrust Yanling to pass it on to Yu Tangtang.
Judging by the timeline, he should have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage by now.
It's a good time to team up and explore the hidden place, so I went to Yan Ling in advance to make all the necessary arrangements. We can meet up in the Endless Ice Plains at that time.
In recent years, Xueyu has been immersed in the practice of the Dharma of Human Desire.
After this secret technique was refined and upgraded through the placement system, it became boring for Wang Yu because of the excessive frequency of dual cultivation with him—three times a day for sixty years.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be very interested in demon servants; he'd just be looking for a change of pace.
Xueyu is still asleep. When she wakes up, she will be able to advance to the middle level of the Heavenly Grade bloodline, and her cultivation will also increase dramatically, faster than taking a plane.
And so it is.
Originally from Fengzhou of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, now the border of Fengzhou of the Northern Demon Clan, Wang Yu traveled south to the place where he first met Yan Ling.
Qiongzhou at Night—Spider Mountain!
Fishing took up some time, so this chapter counts as yesterday's.
I'll write more after I wake up tonight.
