Chapter 503 Ten Years of Cultivation for the Eighth Level of Nascent Soul
Not long after obtaining these resources, almost all the Nascent Soul experts who were staying at the mountain gate gathered around. Looking at the frozen Gu Poison Peak, they couldn't help but turn their gazes to Wang Yu.
They knew this renowned young powerhouse very well, but they weren't quite sure what exactly had happened here.
Until someone discovered the blind spot.
"This is Gu Poison Peak... Where is Fellow Daoist Wan Gu? Why hasn't he appeared?"
A single word awakened me from my dream.
Could it be that the other person fighting Wang Yu was Wan Gu?
What are the specific reasons?
As the Grand Commander and Wang Yu exchanged glances, the latter, understanding the unspoken message, showed the Blood Demon Token to Feng's Nascent Soul colleague and began to explain.
"I have come to Gu Poison Peak on the orders of the Sect Master to dispatch Thousand Gu to the battlefield of Thunderfire Temple to support the front lines. However, this fiend is determined to obey. Offending me is secondary; disobeying the Sect Master's orders... that is courting death. What do you all think?"
There is a president to testify to this.
A bitter feeling welled up in these people's hearts. Smart people knew that things wouldn't be that simple, but what could they do? They had given a reason, and as long as it was plausible on the surface, that was enough.
If you keep pressing the issue without any sense of propriety, you might become the next Wan Gu.
certainly.
This is malicious speculation. If we look at it from a positive perspective, we can simply ignore it and continue to mingle in this vast Reverse Spirit Blood Sect.
The matter came to an end, and the cultivators gradually dispersed.
The Grand Commander approached Wang Yu and exclaimed in undisguised amazement, "You always amaze people. In just a few years, you have already managed to take down an old demon like Wan Gu single-handedly."
"Just lucky."
After exchanging some polite words, the two chatted for a while about the current war situation, and Wang Yu learned a lot of the latest news from the front lines from him.
I don't think things are very optimistic.
If the demonic path was invincible in the first hundred years of war, with no one able to withstand its attacks, then after destroying the Biyun Sect and Wangyue Palace, the resistance from the third target, Leihuo Temple, was stronger than ever before.
I'll say it again.
In a war of attrition, Chi Yuan has no advantage whatsoever, and is even at a great disadvantage.
The next question is whether the "Old Deng Raid Team" can play its intended role; otherwise, the demonic faction will likely abandon the tough nut of Lei Huo Guan and continue pushing inward.
Meanwhile, since the destruction of the Biyun Sect, the war in the north has been reduced from a large-scale war to a battle between elite squads, which are penetrating deep into enemy territory to carry out sabotage and are also investigating the whereabouts of the Ice Clan.
The Northern Demon Clan is the main force in this regard, while the cultivators of Cold Blood Peak and some powerful members of the Underworld Mountain Sect only play a supporting role. It is unlikely that the development of the battle will change significantly in the short term.
After sorting out his thoughts, Wang Yu felt at ease staying in his cave to cultivate in seclusion.
He obtained all three types of Gu fodder from the Myriad Gu Sect.
The Heavenly Poison Scorpion King and the Crimson Rust Insect King were both hidden in the acupoints of his body. When the Thunder Fiend Coffin collected the essence of blood and flesh, it captured them along with him.
As for the Blood-Weeping Evil Gu Technique, Wang Yu's method of checking it was very simple: he would just put it into the placement bar and see if there would be any feedback on cultivation experience and insights.
As long as the feedback can be sent back normally, there is no problem.
Secret cultivation takes time, and so does the cultivation of Gu worms. Relying on his status as a Nascent Soul Ancestor, Wang Yu issued a task to collect materials to the General Affairs Department of Zhudianfang.
It is mainly used to accelerate the reproduction speed of the three Gu Kings, so that the swarm can grow stronger again. When the Ice Flame Butterfly swarm is added, the maximum effect of the secret technique can be activated.
It would take quite a while. Wang Yu used the method of splitting his divine consciousness to carry out multiple plans simultaneously, pushing himself to the limit, while also not neglecting the cultivation of his physical body.
All aspects have been making steady progress.
It can be said that no one's cultivation progress is more stable than his.
Under these circumstances, Wan Gu's nascent soul was refined into a new Longevity Blood Infant Pill. After refining it, one and a half Demonic Essence Crystals quickly condensed in Wang Yu's Qi Sea.
This is equivalent to 15,000 drops of demonic energy, which shows that Wan Gu's cultivation level is indeed remarkable. Without the Blood Infant Pill, Wang Yu used Star Demon Stone as the main material.
He combined some other spiritual materials with yin and cold attributes to refine several spiritual pills for cultivation. With his alchemy skills, it was not difficult for him to develop the pill formula.
The difficulty lies in making it universally applicable so that every cultivator can take it and have the same effect. If it is only applicable to his own situation, it is not difficult to tailor some elixirs.
Maintaining a rapid pace of cultivation, he quietly inserted the innate divine power of the Twelve Phases of the Moon into his placement bar, as he still needed to comprehend the fourth kind of Dharma intent.
The meaning of Dharma extends from the supernatural powers of the perfect state.
The reason I hadn't worked on this before was because my cultivation of my innate supernatural power was slow and I didn't have enough space in the slots. Now is the perfect time to put it here.
After all, the fundamental path of his cultivation is the path of extreme cold.
Even with the innate talent of a demonic fetus, it's impossible to give up halfway. Therefore, the Yin-cold attribute of the Dharma is actually more suitable for him to bring out his various trump cards.
And so... ten years passed in the blink of an eye.
That day.
Wang Yu, who was sitting cross-legged on a soft futon, suddenly had a rising vortex around him, his clothes fluttering and his silver hair flying wildly.
In that instant, the demonic essence crystals accumulated within his body broke through the limit of twenty, and like stars in the sky, they adorned various parts of his Qi Sea, constantly flashing with cold light around his Nascent Soul.
His cultivation level successfully broke through to the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage at this moment!
The next level, the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, requires a full fifty Demon Essence Crystals. In other words, one needs to cultivate a total of 300,000 drops of Demon Essence to complete the breakthrough.
This hurdle is enough to stump countless exceptionally talented individuals.
Even for Wang Yu, the time required for arduous cultivation alone is measured in centuries, let alone for others.
It can be said that without a sufficiently significant opportunity, the chances of breaking through through normal cultivation are extremely low, which is closely related to the spiritual environment of the Ice Prison Realm.
After all, Nascent Soul cultivators need to absorb the essence of top-grade spirit stones to continue to increase their cultivation, while Deity Transformation cultivators need to stay in a fifth-order spiritual vein year-round to ensure they are not affected by the "harsh" environment.
Each time he exerts his full strength, the time required to recover to his peak condition is measured in years.
The number of known fifth-order spiritual veins in the Ice Prison Realm is extremely small.
Taihu Sword Sect, Refining Heaven Demon Sect, Overseas Extreme Abyss, Heavenly Demon Bone Forest, Wild Ancient Plain, North and South Broken Boundary Mountains... There are only seven such places, but there must be a fifth-order spiritual vein in the Endless Ice Plain.
The collaboration between the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, the Yellow Spring Temple, and the Northern Demon Clan was partly aimed at the fifth-order spiritual veins possessed by the Northern Demon Clan. At the same time, they dispatched elite teams deep into the ice plains to search for traces of the Ice Clan.
They were actually searching for traces of fifth-order spiritual veins.
It's far more comfortable and stable to own something yourself than to rely on others.
The spiritual veins of the ancient Heavenly Soul Sect ruins were drained away by the Poisonous Flood Dragon Venerable. Whenever the Lord of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh with regret.
This demonstrates the significance of fifth-order spiritual veins for Nascent Soul cultivators.
During Wang Yu's ten years of seclusion, further advancement in cultivation was merely a minor, expected gain. The real purpose was to significantly increase the population of the three major Gu insects: the Crimson Rust Insect, the Ghost Ant, and the Heavenly Poison Scorpion.
After expending a lot of resources, he finally gathered all the materials to perform the Blood-Weeping Evil Gu Technique. Now, his biggest challenge is to ensure the Ice Flame Butterfly's success rate!
If the final winner isn't Ice Flame Butterfly, then we're stuck with a stalemate.
During the execution of the secret technique, who wins depends entirely on the outcome of natural selection, and the cultivators themselves cannot intervene in it, taking into account the overall strength of the Ice Flame Butterfly at the early stage of the fourth rank.
They were no match for the three major insect swarms, so the Nine-Turn Gu God Tears remained important. Now that his cultivation had broken through, Wang Yu was even more confident in making a deal with the Poison Dragon Venerable.
--Now.
I need to go out and get what Venerable Poison Dragon wants, and then go to the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest to complete the final step of the Ice Flame Ascension Plan.
…………

at the same time.
The Old Deng raiding squad, led by Xie Xie'an, included several Nascent Soul stage experts, such as the Blood-Eyed Demon Dragon, the Black Gold Old Demon, and the Qian Yuan Demon Lord.
The former goes without saying, while the latter two came from the Zuoqiu clan and the Yu clan respectively. They were both old demons from the previous era, whose cultivation was limited due to their limited potential and remained at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage, having already reached their limit.
The group had been traveling across the desolate ancient plains for decades. This speed was not due to their lack of skill in escape techniques, but rather because Xie Xie'an was leading them on foot.
Walking around to the back of Lei Huo Temple, the speed naturally couldn't be fast.
But things have come to this point, and that's about it.
If this continues, I fear that some old men may die on the road ahead.
Because of the long journey, the group had begun to doubt and distrust Xie Xie'an, even though they had not encountered any danger along the way.
It can also cause feelings of irritability and depression.
More importantly, they were forcibly recruited and their will was not strong to begin with. If this continues, they will eventually develop other ideas.
As the leader, Xie Xie'an naturally noticed it.
At that time.
He has advanced from a mere Core Formation child to the fourth level of Nascent Soul, his entire body shrouded in intense killing intent, which can be described as displaying his sharp edge.
His handsome face bore eerie Rakshasa markings.
When you look into their eyes, you can feel the oppressive force of their sinister aura, which penetrates straight into your mind... or rather, puts pressure on your spirit.
Having cultivated the Rakshasa True Demon Scripture, a Nascent Soul inheritance, for many years, and possessing the fifth-tier spiritual treasure, the Rakshasa Heavenly Demon Bell, Xie Xie'an's strength is definitely enough to contend with ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
If it weren't for Wang Yu, he might have become the most brilliant young powerhouse in Chi Yuan.
"Senior Blood Eye, I heard that Brother Wang Yu displayed his demonic power at the Azure Cloud Sect. Could you tell me more about it?"
The Blood-Eyed Demon Dragon glanced at him hesitantly.
Looking around at the desolate ancient plains, he thought that since he had nothing better to do, he might as well chat.
"I don't know much about that kid either; most of what I've heard is hearsay. You seem really interested in meeting him? Do you want to have a match with him?"
"no."
Xie Xie'an shook his head and sighed, his eyes flickering as he recalled the events of the past.
“In the past, I was fortunate to receive help from Brother Wang Yu during my training in the Blood Abyss. Now that he seems to be encountering a lot of trouble, it is only right and proper for me to help him out.”
The Blood-Eyed Demon Dragon was taken aback.
“You lad… I didn’t realize you had such a sentimental heart. Well then, let me tell you more about Wang Yu’s past with me.”
Upon learning that Xie Xie'an meant no harm, the Blood-Eyed Demon Flood Dragon immediately acted very intimately with Wang Yu, displaying the demeanor of a close friend despite their age difference.
really.
As people age, they become more cunning, and so do demons.
The two were chatting enthusiastically when, for some reason, it suddenly stung the old demon Wujin. This man was bald with a wrinkled face and his golden eyes were extremely sharp.
The moment he was glared at so fiercely, it felt like a knife was slicing across his face, and Xie Xie'an's expression changed drastically.
"Senior Wujin, what do you mean by this?"
"--snort!"
The old demon looked around, his expression quickly becoming agitated, his emotions fluctuating wildly, and he spoke with malice.
"You young upstart, leading us on this roundabout way, do you think I didn't notice?! You brat, I'll kill you with this palm strike!"
They start fighting at the slightest disagreement.
Or they might start fighting without even exchanging a few words.
This was completely different from the old demon's calm personality. Wu Jin's abnormality was quickly noticed by everyone, and Xie Xie'an shouted.
"He's been corrupted by the desolate ancient plains, capture him immediately!"
The desolate ancient plains are the most mysterious and dangerous place in the Ice Prison Realm. In this respect, the Vermilion Bird Divine Mountain and the Endless Ice Plains are far inferior to the Ancient Plains Forbidden Land.
The danger of Mount Sumeru mainly comes from the savage beasts and birds that mindlessly worship the true spirit of Sumeru. They have indestructible bodies and immense strength, and will attack and kill any living being that enters the sacred mountain.
The dangers of the endless ice plains mainly come from the environment.
Both can be circumvented by means of means, so they cannot be considered forbidden areas for living beings. Only the Wild Ancient Plains, since ancient times, has a core area that has mysteriously deprived those who enter it of their lifespan.
This caused cultivators to die the moment they left the desolate ancient plain. After the ancient demon of "Kill" was sealed, the desolate ancient plain became even more bizarre.
A strange killing field lingers at all times.
It will slowly corrupt any living beings that enter, turning them into monsters that only know how to kill. Combined with the life-stripping properties of the core area, these killing weapons will never die as long as they do not leave the ancient plain.
Over hundreds of thousands of years, these killing weapons have accumulated to become the greatest danger in the ancient plains, and the so-called safe route Xie Xie'an claimed.
It is a route to avoid these killing weapons and to avoid entering the core area and having one's lifespan taken away.
The changes that are now taking place in Wujin are clearly transforming him into a killing machine. As long as he leaves the ancient plain in time, his corrupted mind still has a chance to recover.
The Nascent Soul cultivators attacked simultaneously, and the somewhat deranged Old Demon Wujin was quickly subdued. However, the fluctuations from the battle also attracted nearby killing weapons.
These humanoid creatures, dressed in various styles and from different historical periods, with disheveled hair and filthy bodies, all stared at Xie Xie'an with their scarlet eyes.
He muttered to himself, "Traitor to the will to kill... Rakshasa! You deserve to die!"
Even if his speech is unclear, who are these old men?
Everyone was shocked.
"Xie boy, you..."
Even the Blood-Eyed Demon Dragon looked at him in surprise.
Xie Xie'an's lips twitched, and he explained helplessly, "This junior does have some connection with the Ancient Demon of Slaughter, but that connection has been severed, so there's no need to worry about me being controlled."
This isn't about manipulation; it's that you've gone against common sense. Everyone here is a high-ranking member of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, and even they have questions about the Nascent Soul inheritance passed down by the Ancient Demon.
In theory, Xie Xie'an was just an experiment.
However, the secret techniques of the Refining Heaven Demon Sect were not taught to the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect. So how did he get rid of the source of demonic contamination?
If it could be popularized...
I got up early today, so I'm updating early.
I'm going to the hospital for acupuncture this afternoon...
