Inside the Xin'anwen Cave.
Shen Lian was mumbling.
"There was no such thing as spiritual roots in ancient times. Perhaps what people practiced in ancient times were spiritual bodies."
"Later, due to some changes, the spirit body evolved into spirit roots. Some cultivators reverted to their ancestral state or their transformation was not smooth, so the spirit roots and spirit body appeared at the same time."
"Then we are all practicing the Three Dharmas together."
"I am horrible myself."
“Hiss, hiss, hiss…”
He muttered his own guess, but unfortunately it was just a guess at the moment and Shen Lian had no facts to prove the truth of this matter.
As for why he speculated that the spirit body transformed into spiritual roots, he did not dwell on this issue to death.
The world changes, and cultivators adapt to the changes and see changes in their bodies. This is normal.
“I wonder if this Yin Yang Five Elements Qi can help me derive Yin Yang Qi and condense Yin Yang Yuan Ying.”
The change that Shen Lian can clearly perceive from this spiritual root awakening is that the strength of his spiritual thoughts has increased by ten thousand feet, and the purity of his spiritual thoughts has also doubled.
In addition, there is more energy of yin and yang and the five elements in the body.
Apart from these two obvious changes, he has not yet figured out the others.
"The second magical power."
I had originally wanted to see if the awakened spirit could be of any help in condensing the second golden elixir magical power, but now it seems to be of little use.
But how do I condense this second magical power?
The performance of the Golden Elixir magical power is based on elixir energy, which consumes magic power in a short period of time to achieve the purpose of casting spells instantly.
The amount of Dan Qi that a cultivator can accumulate is limited, which means that even if a cultivator has three or four golden elixir magical powers, in the end, he can only use one of them according to the actual situation.
In addition to the magical powers of the golden elixir, in the middle and ancient times, physical cultivators also had physical cultivation magical powers, such as three heads and six arms, transforming into a giant, chasing mountains and chasing the moon, etc., which were displayed by relying on the powerful innate essence of the physical body.
Similarly, the strength of the golden elixir's magical power also depends on whether the accumulated elixir energy is sufficient.
"My path of physical cultivation is not authentic. I don't know if I can open the physical cultivation supernatural power."
With a sigh, Shen Lian returned to thinking about his second golden elixir magical power. His physical cultivation was not good to begin with, so he couldn't expect to come up with any magical powers.
"For the second magical power, choose the Five Elements Thunder Method."
After thinking it over again and again, Shen Lian decided on it.
In fact, he had been preparing to practice the Five Elements Thunder Method a long time ago.
If a cultivator who does not have thunder spiritual roots wants to control thunder magic, he needs to use special magic tools to perform it. For this reason, when he collected ores over the years, he was also storing thunder-attribute ores.
Thunder attribute ores are extremely rare on their own, and are often mixed with ores of the five elements.
When Shen Lian was purifying the ore, he naturally separated out the thunder-attribute ores.
If one wants to transform it into one's own golden elixir supernatural power, one must first use a magic weapon with the five elements of thunder as a guide, and then use thunder magic to introduce the five elements of thunder patterns onto the golden elixir.
It is a bit troublesome, but this spell is very powerful. It is specifically designed to defeat evil spirits and can also break taboos.
For Shen Lian, this was actually not a big deal. It was much simpler than his first magical power, the Five Elements Escape Technique.
It is about refining magical instruments and studying the Five Elements Thunder Method.
With a wave of his hand, a pile of scrolls appeared in Shen Lian's hand. He had only collected one of the Five Elements Divine Thunder Secret Techniques at that time.
However, he had met many Jindan Daoist friends over the years, and many of them had collections of such famous spells, so he just completed them for him.
There are five kinds of divine thunders with different attributes, namely Gui Water Divine Thunder, Bing Fire Divine Thunder, Yi Wood Divine Thunder, Wu Earth Divine Thunder and Geng Metal Divine Thunder, each with different emphasis.
Kuishui Divine Thunder, this thunder is born from the gathering of yin and yang energy throughout the body, it can nourish the vitality of all living things, and it also has the power to destroy people. It is the most feminine of the Five Elements Divine Thunder, gathering yin and yang energy, and can also defeat all poisons in the world.
The Bing Fire Divine Thunder is a very yang thunder with extremely explosive nature. It can burn everything, scorch the sky and boil the sea, and has extremely strong destructive power.
The Yi Wood Divine Thunder relies on plants and trees for survival, absorbs the purest yang energy from heaven and earth, and restrains evil spirits and ghosts.
Wu Earth Divine Thunder, Wu Earth is solid and heavy, and it has the best defense among the Five Elements Divine Thunder.
Gengjin divine thunder, Gengjin brings evil, is the most powerful, can restrain the spiritual prohibition of formations, and has strong destructive power.
After opening the scroll on practicing the five kinds of thunder magic secrets, Shen Lian studied it bit by bit. It was no wonder that so many cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation, even those without thunder spiritual roots, still tried every means to practice thunder magic. Thunder magic was really too powerful.
"It's just being struck by lightning, isn't it? It's not like we've never been struck by lightning before."
Shen Lian clenched the scroll tightly in his hand and encouraged himself. If he wanted to become an immortal, he had to be harder on himself.
Besides, he repaired the spiritual veins and wanted to liberate the souls of the dead. He was definitely a cultivator with great merits.
How could God not forgive such a good man like him?
First refine the magic weapon with thunder attribute, and then imprint the five elements of thunder magic power.
Shen Lian took out a pile of previously smelted thunder-attribute ores, and began to prepare to refine a thunder-attribute magic weapon.
…
One month later.
Looking at the five disc-shaped magic weapons in front of him that were flashing with various colors and engraved with lightning patterns, Shen Lian nodded with satisfaction.
My craftsmanship is becoming more and more sophisticated.
The reason why he made the magic weapon into a disc shape is mainly because he is a very kind person.
Cultivators all value the reunion of their families, but sometimes, eradicating the roots of the evil is too bloody, and the only way to make up for it is through magic weapons. The disc shape represents the reunion of fellow Taoists.
"Let's start with the Kuishui Divine Thunder. This thunder is gentler and more suitable for me."
"The water element corresponds to the kidneys among the five internal organs. How about some nourishment to the kidneys first?"
Grasping the black perfect magic weapon, Shen Lian began to practice the ritual. He needed to refine the magic weapon of water-based divine thunder into his kidneys and open up a Kuishui Thunder Palace.
"call!"
“Hoo! Hoo!”
Dahei, who had just returned from outside, saw the aura surging from Shen Lian's body. His face was a little swollen and a little purple. He wanted to speak but quickly reacted. He immediately closed his mouth, rolled into the corner and lay down.
It actually wanted to tell Shen Lian that it had completed the task assigned to it by its master.
But seeing his master like this, Dahei thought it would be better not to report it now, so as to prevent his master's swollen face from transferring to his cracked body.
After practicing for more than half a month, the first piece of Sunflower Water Divine Thunder Disc was refined into Shen Lian's body and began to blend with the water vapor lingering between his kidneys.
After resting for a day, he picked up the Yi Mu Shen Lei Plate again.
Since Shen Lian was practicing the Five Elements Kung Fu, the Five Elements Yuan Qi and Five Elements True Liquid had already been condensed between the five internal organs in his body. Therefore, the ritual refining process was relatively smooth.
…
In the mountains and fields, where Shen Lian had previously been in seclusion, there are still cultivators lingering around, desperately searching for the secret realm.
These monks were very distressed, as they stayed to look for it but found nothing.
But if I leave, I always feel that the opportunity will be snatched away by others.
In short, it's very confusing.
There is a lake built on the mountain. A light breeze created ripples on the water, and a dark shadow appeared out of nowhere, standing quietly on the water.
Soon, the shadow quietly merged into the lake, and when it appeared again, it was already below the collapsed cave.
This cave has been destroyed beyond recognition, having been rummaged through by cultivators countless times.
He carefully sensed the situation around him, but unfortunately, as more than a month had passed and there were many monks coming and going, the place had already been turned upside down.
The aura of each cultivator is different, which results in many kinds of auras remaining in this area, making it difficult to distinguish them.
However, Shadow was not in a hurry. He sensed his surroundings bit by bit, and confirmed again and again that the aura around him was chaotic. Then a small bead the size of a longan appeared in his hand.
This small bead is crystal clear, with black light flowing on its surface, giving people a very mysterious feeling.
After the small bead fell to the ground, it rolled between the cracks of the stones, made a slight buzzing sound, and began to rotate on its own.
At the moment of self-rotation, countless small holes appeared on the surface, and strange energy began to spew out.
“Buzz!”
The small bead was spinning faster and faster, and more and more energy was rushing out. Soon the surrounding void was affected and began to spread outward.
A strong wind blew in the mountains and fields, affecting the grass, trees and rocks.
"open!"
Shadow performed complicated hand gestures with both hands, and put his fingers together to form a sword shape, pressing them against his eyes.
When the fingers fell, his eyes rolled black and white, and the pupils suddenly filled both eyes.
He looked in all directions, and all the colors of the world turned black and white in his eyes.
The grass, rocks, lakes, insects and ants were all black and white.
But in this black and white, there were dim colorful lights blooming in two directions.
In this black and white scene, the colorful light is so eye-catching.
"Even if you try to cover up everything, it's impossible for you to be so clean."
Shadow sneered, and used both hands to make a new spell, pointing at the spinning beads.
“Buzz!”
In an instant, the small beads that were rotating before began to rotate in the reverse direction.
The energy that was previously ejected was attracted and began to gather towards the small beads.
The dim five-colored spiritual light that was discovered earlier was dragged out from the cracks in the mountains and sucked into the holes in the small beads, and the strong winds that were blowing around it subsided.
Just as he was about to take the small bead away.
Suddenly, a demonic energy rose up out of nowhere, and the small bead flew away into the distance with a whoosh.
"Friend Lu, you came quite quickly. I'd be very sorry to refuse you."
A half-smiling voice was heard, and from a huge rock in the distance, demonic energy was swirling and a teasing voice was heard.
It was also at this time that the monks who were still wandering around hoping to take advantage of the situation began to scream one after another.
Blood began to ooze out of their bodies. They wanted to struggle but were unable to. They watched themselves being devoured by the evil energy and turned into a pool of blood.
"Slurp."
A pale-faced young monk appeared in the demonic energy and licked the corner of his mouth at the shadow monk.
Playing with the beads in one hand, he sighed and said, "What a pity, what a pity, there are only two wisps of dull and lusterless five-element aura left. It's a bit difficult to identify the cultivator who left this aura."
Although he said this, the demon cultivator held the small bead in his hand and looked at it again and again.
Lu Yangshan frowned and stared at the pale young monk who was approaching him, with an unfriendly look on his face.
"Tian Wenjing, hand over the Five Elements Prison Spirit Pearl."
The young demon cultivator immediately took the small bead away and said, "If you don't hand it over, what can you do to me? Whoever grabs it first gets it."
"Tian Wenjing, I'll fuck your mother."
Lu Yangshan waved his hand and a sword light slashed out, instantly chopped the demon cultivator into a ball of demonic energy, making a crackling sound.
But among the shattered demonic energy, there was a mass that directly turned into a vague demonic shadow, making a strange laugh while moving away into the distance.
"Whatever you want, Dad."
This made Lu Yangshan furious, and he flew into the air and chased after Tian Wenjing.
"Dad, this Five Elements Prison Spirit Pearl is a gift from you to me. Please stop chasing me."
In the demonic energy, the shadow of a boy kept changing into various appearances, shouting at Lu Yangshan who was chasing him from behind, and even dressed up as various clown faces.
"I will let my son take the credit for reporting to the exiled angel. You can just take a rest."
"Tian Wenjing, you really deserve to die!"
Lu Yangshan's hand holding the magic weapon was so tense with anger that veins popped out.
This demon cultivator is not a son of man, not a son of man! Boom boom! The two Jindan cultivators fought, constantly blasting spells in the air, and the splashing energy hit the ground below, making the mountains and the earth roar and rocks splash.
"Dad, don't chase me. Don't chase me."
Lu Yangshan's face turned pale and his cheeks twitched constantly.
He immediately made a magical gesture with both hands, and five rays of light bloomed behind him, rising into the sky in the air.
Each one was a hundred feet in size and turned into a sharp sword in the air.
The five sword energies spread out in a fan shape in the air, and evolved into thousands of sword lights, which submerged the evil energy that was fleeing far away in front like a rainstorm.
However, in another direction, Tian Wenjing rushed out from the mountains and fields. The overwhelming sword energy did not hurt him at all, but instead caused the mountains and fields to collapse.
He fled quickly towards the depths of Tianzhu Mountain.
Once they entered the depths of Tianzhu Mountain, it would be difficult for Lu Yangshan to catch up with him.
"Thank you, Father Lu, for the credit."
"Tian Wenjing, don't leave."
Lu Yangshan chased after him relentlessly. The five elements spiritual energy that could cause the Five Elements Prison Spirit Pearl to react indicated that most of the cultivators who had stayed there before were people with very high quality of the five spiritual roots.
This is the person the banished immortal envoy specifically ordered to pay attention to.
…
Boom! The two Jindan monks fought, causing the mountains and plains to shake and roar, and the snakes, insects, rats and ants hiding in the mountains and plains were frightened and fled in panic.
Among these scurrying snakes, insects, rats and ants, there are some special black-horned ants. Some parts of their bodies have small stones of almost the same color embedded in them.
Black-horned ants dig soil and stones, so it is normal to have some small stones embedded in their bodies.
After all, there are many black-horned ants embedded in pebbles all over the mountains.
…
Three months later, the Great Black Wild Animal crawled deep into the earth, gathered the black-horned ants with pebbles embedded in their bodies, and brought them back to the cave where Shen Lian was practicing.
