Chapter 576 Breaking Through to the Fourth Level of the Divine Transformation Realm: Body Refinement Cultivation Soars!
Ten days ago.
Outside Wanshou City, with the formal departure of the Three Corpse Taoist, the city was preserved. Wanshou Zhenjun was both relieved and puzzled. When he led his men back into the city, he discovered the anomaly.
The secret realm that the family had guarded for countless years... had actually collapsed.
Although the spatial storm occurred on the other side of the overlapping space, the Nascent Soul cultivator could still detect clues thanks to his keen perception.
The eerie ghost realm that should have existed has vanished!
Considering the decisive retreat of the Alliance Leader of the Heavenly Calamity (Three Corpse Taoist), how could one not guess what the other party had done?
The aging Longevity True Lord had no choice but to personally investigate underground. Although the Ghost Realm contained great treasures, the malevolent spirits were powerful. Only by sending a Foundation Establishment cultivator could he be confident in casting a spell to deceive the ghosts and safely send them inside to search for the treasures.
It wasn't because his supernatural powers were strong enough, but because the target he was trying to conceal was weak enough.
If it doesn't cause too much of a stir, nothing will happen.
He has never come down in person since he learned of this secret.
After several days of preparation, they finally found their agitated eldest son.
After everything was arranged...
The Ancestor of Longevity finally descended into the earth to investigate the root of the changes. With the cover of the overlapping space gone, the true space was exposed without a doubt.
Before long, they were actually inside a tomb chamber.
Some of the recent traces are easy to identify, and some even contain remnants of spiritual energy.
"Did that thief take away some treasure? No... he was clearly confronting me, could it be a clone technique?"
The Ancestor of Longevity pondered this in secret.
Not long after, they discovered another unusual place: an exceptionally clean tomb chamber with blue flames burning around the walls, which appeared bright but were actually bathed in a cold, dark blue light.
The chill air was so intense that it made one shiver.
keep going.
Several array flags formed a peculiar formation, with icy flames surging and burning at its core. It possessed two unique characteristics, making it a truly wondrous flame of heaven and earth, perfectly embodying the principle of yin and yang.
A fragrant cauldron, its aroma seemingly permeating the very bones, came into view amidst the flames, swirling and dancing within them, continuously extending into increasingly intricate crimson patterns.
The aura it emitted had reached the highest level of the fourth tier, and was still slowly but steadily increasing...
This made the Old Ancestor Wanshou's eyes light up. This was even more powerful than his natal magic weapon. There was indeed a great opportunity underground.
"This treasure seems to have room for improvement, so it should not be handled lightly."
Such a thought arose.
Immediately, doubts arose. If the leader of the Heavenly Tribulation Alliance had really come in, why didn't he take these treasures? Could it be a trap?
They walked several dozen more steps.
The distinctly different black banners intertwined to form a strange black ball of lightning. Although the power of the lightning was not high, the yin energy incorporated into it was extremely strong.
It's not suitable for an old man like him who is nearing the end of his life to associate with.
At the very center of the lightning sphere, a noble and sinister sword spun continuously, emanating a terrifying aura that made him feel suffocated.
This is definitely a fifth-tier spiritual treasure.
He was overjoyed.
"Treasures are tempting, and since they're right here, we'll find a way to take them sooner or later. But since the situation is still unclear, it's best not to touch them carelessly."
Just as I was about to leave, I made another decision.
Then they heard the sound of waves crashing against the shore, as if they were at the seaside. The old ancestor Wanshou felt a tightness in his heart and quickly fled to the source of the sound.
A moment later.
The main burial chamber came into view, where the central coffin had been completely shattered, and a withered skeleton was embedded in the stone floor. The spot where the corpse had been lying was now occupied by a person sitting cross-legged.
Thick water vapor filled the tomb chamber, vaguely forming the phantom of a vast sea, and a deep blue pearl was shining brightly above the head of the unknown cultivator.
The Ancestor of Longevity was stiff all over, staring wide-eyed at the figure. Although there was nothing there in his divine sense, he could still see it with his naked eye.
It all started when I "accidentally" stepped into the tomb.
His body was subjected to immense pressure, and after only a few breaths, his bones began to creak and crack, as if he were about to explode and die from the external pressure at any moment!
Just as he was beginning to despair.
The mysterious figure suddenly stood up and appeared before him through the thick mist. What a young and handsome face it was, if not for the cold and oppressive aura between its brows.
He immediately bowed in reverence. This person was none other than Wang Yu, who had recently gone into seclusion. He had anticipated that this person would come down, so he deliberately did not set up any concealment formations.
"You've arrived."
"Senior...please have mercy and spare my life."
Wang Yu waved his hand, and the divine power of the Zhenhai Pearl quickly subsided.
The Ancestor of Longevity was finally able to catch his breath and relieve the palpitations and fear he had just felt.
"I don't care what you did before. From now on, send down ten heinous cultivators every day, one hundred every month on the fifteenth, and one demonic cultivator's Nascent Soul every year in the seventh month. If you do this, I will spare your life. This place will be yours again in ten years."
This request was made by Wang Yu, in order to raise the juvenile Heavenly Demon within the Demon Skull. He had captured it some time ago, and the Heavenly Demon's growth had been accelerating recently.
Feeding it with evil thoughts alone is not enough; only blood food can accelerate its development and help it reach maturity as soon as possible so that Wang Yu can devour it and evolve its physique.
The pressure from the Dao-Merging Grandmaster was too great, and his time was becoming increasingly tight. Even resorting to some bloody methods was a last resort.
In the chaotic times outside, countless beasts were bred. He shone brightly for him, thus fulfilling his life's value.
only……
When the Ancestor of Longevity heard Wang Yu's request, he was filled with bitterness. Other requests were fine, but now the Red Iris was full of crazy heretical demonic cultivators.
Arrest a hundred and kill a hundred, then no one will die unjustly.
How tragic.
However, the request from a Nascent Soul demonic cultivator this year far exceeded his capabilities, so he forced a smile and lowered his head.
"Senior, although I am at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, I am old and frail, and my combat strength is worrisome. I am unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility entrusted to me by you!"
It's alright.
“Take this token and go negotiate with the Heavenly Calamity Alliance. They will be responsible for providing the people, and you will use these Blood Pills to trade with the Heavenly Calamity Alliance.”
"this……"
The Ancestor of Longevity was in a dilemma. To negotiate with a tiger would surely backfire, but if he didn't agree, he could go see the successive city lords of Longevity City right now.
After pondering for a long time, he finally sighed.
"I understand."
Wang Yu then smiled and gently patted the Longevity Ancestor, leaving a seed of demonic thought so that he could control the man's location at any time.
Ensure it doesn't get out of control.
"Very good, you can start preparing now, and we'll begin sending people down tomorrow."
"yes!"
After the Ancestor Wanshou left, Wang Yu sat cross-legged back on the coffin platform. He discovered a completely new effect regarding the use of the Zhenhai Pearl.
As the saying goes, water is the softest thing, yet it can penetrate everywhere.
I used to think this thing could only be used as a dumbbell to train arm strength, but after actually trying it, I found that the suppressive power of this treasure is actually borrowing the boundless meaning of the ocean to forcibly suppress the target.
To some extent, it relies on brute force!
This intense pressure was perfect for him to hone his physical body, and on the other hand, it also had a remarkable effect on compressing the demonic energy, transforming the water power of the Sea-Suppressing Pearl into a hundred and eighty streams.
At the same time, it penetrates the body, pressing hard on his meridians, acupoints, and bones, and can evenly distribute the pressure to every cell in the body.
It's practically the perfect aid for cultivation.
The method for refining this treasure is simple. If there is an opportunity in the future, I can try to replicate more of them and carry them with me at all times to hone my skills. I think the effect will be excellent.
Since using the Sea-Suppressing Pearl to cultivate, the speed at which demonic energy is compressed from a hundred to one has been increasing, and the strength of his physique has also been steadily improving.
Wang Yu had consumed small amounts of the medicinal deer essence from the Five-Colored Holy Lord during his last seclusion, and already felt the effects were quite good.
This time, he took out more nourishing parts such as deer heart and deer antler, thawed them, and roasted 3,000 catties of them every day, so that the golden blood essence would naturally increase day by day.
Although there is no orthodox fifth-order body refining method.
However, simply cultivating the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill of Buddhism can still increase his physical strength and continuously strengthen the immortal power contained in his bones, allowing it to spread to his flesh and tendons.
Although this improvement cannot raise his body refinement level, the increase in strength is real. His divine power has never stopped growing, and once the cultivation method is in place, he will naturally break through.
At this point, cultivation is more like an accumulation.
Waiting for the day when we accumulate strength and unleash it, or rather, when we transform from a caterpillar into a butterfly.
"Buddhist traditions... are truly useful."
The corpse of the Five-Colored Saint Lord was as large as a mountain. Even Wang Yu took nearly two years to completely deplete it. At that time, his physique had improved by more than 30% compared to when he first went into seclusion.
At the fifth level of Body Refinement, 30%... can already be considered a major transformation. Even at this level, the realm has not yet been improved. After breaking through in the future, the realm will bring further improvement.
It was like exploiting a bug, forcibly increasing his already incredibly deep foundation, making him far stronger than a normal fifth-tier body refiner.
"The lack of a cultivation technique to pass on doesn't seem to be entirely a bad thing."
With these thoughts in mind, another three years passed in the blink of an eye.
That day.
The light of the Zhenhai Pearl suddenly disappeared, the sound of surging waves gradually subsided, and a terrifying spiritual pressure lingered around Wang Yu, flowing over him like water.
The originally wispy divine power became even more profound, its bluish-black color seemingly transforming into a thick liquid.
From this day forward, the original hundred strands of magical power will be condensed into one, making it even more powerful than before. Wang Yu has almost lost count of how many times he has compressed his magical power like this.
Just as the last wisp of magical power completely solidified.
Wang Yu's golden primordial spirit suddenly burst out of his body, opening its arms as if embracing heaven and earth. Spiritual energy from hundreds of miles around surged in, forming a funnel-shaped vortex.
The effects of the Celestial Star Destiny Nourishing Vital Energy Method were brought into play.
Although the number of times he can cultivate each year is limited, this powerful cultivation technique, combined with Wang Yu's already incredibly strong primordial spirit, has long since reached the standard for breaking through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
When he sensed something in the darkness, Wang Yu quickly took out the Six Desires Demon Diagram, a magical treasure.
The cataclysmic change... has arrived!
The Heavenly Demon's Bewitching Mind technique, once overcome, allows one to refine the Heavenly Demon's essence, greatly enhancing the strength of one's primordial spirit and granting innate resistance to illusions, mind-bewitching techniques, and other strange arts.
Wang Yu wasn't worried about that at all; he was more interested in using the tribulation of divine transformation to gain an opportunity to greatly enhance his primordial spirit.
For example, by using the six emotional demons imprisoned in the Heavenly Demon Diagram, one can manipulate them through the diagram and make them the tribulations of one's own divine transformation. Due to the control of the diagram, the bewitching of the Heavenly Demons is not much different from playing house.
A simple counterattack, choosing one to refine, and the task is complete.
As for the lost Heavenly Demons, we can use the Demon Diagram effect again to catch one to replenish them, since the number of Heavenly Demons is virtually endless.
The amount he consumed was not enough to attract the attention of the Heavenly Demon.
The tribulation of divine transformation was easily overcome.
Once the power of the Dharma is in place, the breakthrough will begin naturally.
A million strands of frozen demonic energy transformed into myriad streams of magical power.
The demonic energy intertwined with the primordial spirit, then deeply penetrated into the depths of the physical body. After the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit completed their fusion, they slowly separated and returned to their original state.
But Wang Yu's feelings were completely different.
His strength and physique have increased dramatically!
After five years of seclusion, he broke through the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage and reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul stage. His next cultivation goal, besides continuing to accumulate demonic energy, is to focus on only one thing.
Grasp the artistic conception!
The Nascent Soul realm is a key factor in breaking through to the later stages, and it is generally advanced from the Dharma Intent. Wang Yu once guessed that the placement bar might also help him with his arduous cultivation, thereby reducing the burden on his physical body.
That is to use the placement bar to place the Dharma intent, just like those supernatural powers and secret techniques. After placing them to perfection, continue placing them to achieve the effect of derivation and advancement.
If one can break through the limits of Dharma intent, one may very well obtain the corresponding power of intent!
Based on his past experience using it, the placement bar is not problematic in any way; it is simply the result of his daily practice.
The placement bar provides the most perfect cultivation environment, and the default method is the introductory method, which includes many difficult and tortuous supernatural powers and secret techniques that are hard to master.
He was able to grasp the concepts first by using this method of reversing cause and effect, and then receive the experience and insights constantly transmitted back from the placement column, thus truly mastering the basics.
Allowing the physical body in the real world to master it is a rather perfect cultivation system.
However……
Even with his current level of understanding and comprehension, and having undergone numerous trials by the boundless secrets of the mortal world, breaking through the limits of Dharma intent would require a hundred years of tireless and uninterrupted study.
This is quite worthwhile for other Nascent Soul cultivators.
But for Wang Yu... that wasn't enough!
Looking at the time displayed in the placement column, the three Dharma Intents of Asura, Yellow Springs, and Aurora still require eighty years, while the Dharma Intent of Guanghan requires one hundred and thirty years.
After so long, powerful beings who have reached the Dao level have all descended.
He had to find a way to speed things up. Based on his understanding of the placement system, the only requirement was to improve his comprehension, which was difficult to maintain year after year except for some extremely rare treasures.
Even the Heavenly Enlightenment Platform is no longer enough for him now.
but.
Even on seemingly difficult paths, there are still shortcuts.
That is the true spirit bloodline!
Since the effects of the Ice Phoenix bloodline are difficult to perfectly simulate by the innate demonic fetus, we should first transform the physique and wait until we can perfectly acquire the talent of the true spirit.
Putting everything else aside, advancing to the level of Guanghan Dharma Intent should become relatively simple, and breaking through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm only requires mastering one realm of intent, with opportunities to refine it further during subsequent cultivation.
While pondering, Wang Yu got up from his cross-legged position.
His breakthrough in cultivation level caused his strength to increase dramatically.
The next step in cultivation requires increasing the number of Divine Transformation Demonic Essence from 10,000 to 100,000 to attempt breaking through to the fifth level of Divine Transformation. Then, by increasing it from 100,000 to 500,000, one can attempt to break through to the sixth level of Divine Transformation.
Finally, by increasing the number of demonic energies from 500,000 to 1 million, and then comprehending the Divine Transformation Realm, one can use the divine effects of the Realm to completely compress the demonic energies into a liquid state. After passing the tribulation of divine transformation, one can officially break through to the late stage of the Divine Transformation Realm.
