Spring goes and autumn comes, time flies.

Eight years passed slowly.

In the void outside the continent, heavy snow began to fall without anyone noticing. The snow was mixed with fine ice chips, which hit the large rocks with a crackling sound.

Inside a stone land mass the size of an island, the spiritual barrier flickered and the formation operated slowly.

A ball of colorful light emitting yin and yang spiritual light was flying in front of Shen Lian.

And at the location of his chest, a dantian like a whirlpool has taken shape. Strands of colorful light are intertwined in the whirlpool, and a point of black and white light converges in the depths of the whirlpool.

The moment the middle dantian was opened up, the power of yin and yang and the five elements that had been stored in various parts of the body naturally flowed into the middle dantian.

Compared with the magic power controlled by the Nascent Soul in the lower Dantian, there are both similarities and differences between the two.

The similarities are that both of them derive yin and yang from the five elements. The differences are that the power of yin and yang and the five elements in the dantian is more spiritual and has a clearer perception of the rhyme of heaven and earth in the outside world.

In addition, when the middle dantian was formed, the outline of a new meridian appeared in Shen Lian's body.

The reason why it is called a prototype is mainly because this new meridian circulation has not yet been fully connected.

But even so, it still proves that the middle dantian also represents a path of cultivation, which is different from the path of forming the golden elixir and condensing the primordial infant in the lower dantian.

"According to the current path of cultivation, refining essence into qi should be between the golden elixir and the primordial infant."

This was Shen Lian's own estimate. After spending 100,000 divine enlightenment points to allow his spiritual body to transform for the third time, he opened the middle dantian in his chest, and a new path of cultivation transformed in his body.

It’s just that there is no corresponding method of practice, so the relevant meridian circulation cannot be completely opened.

Without any method, one can only use crude means to absorb spiritual objects from the outside world for cultivation.

After some research, Shen Lian also found some ways, that is, the magic power born from the dantian position cannot be directly absorbed by spirit stones.

How to say it, it's more like the cultivator as a whole, absorbing spiritual medicine and even meat and other resources from the outside world to nourish his essence, energy and spirit to a perfect state.

The magic power in the middle dantian is grown from the essence, energy and spirit.

In other words, physical condition is very important. Without sufficient essence, energy and spirit, more magical power cannot be generated.

This was not difficult for Shen Lian. Although he was a pseudo-body cultivator, his flesh and blood were filled with vitality, and his three treasures, essence, energy and spirit, were the most intense.

This made Shen Lian wonder, could it be that the path of physical cultivation is for the cultivation method of ancient times?

However, he quickly reacted and thought the opposite.

Perhaps it should be said that after the ancient method of absorbing essence, energy and spirit for cultivation declined, the method of body cultivation was born by chance.

After all, if there is no place to expend your energy, then you can just strengthen your muscles inside your body to prevent yourself from getting beaten.

…

Time flies during practice.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years passed.

Inside the cave, Shen Lian exuded a burning aura, and behind him it seemed as if there was a blazing golden sun across the sky.

Faint golden crow patterns appeared on his entire body, burning fiercely and causing the spiritual barriers in the surrounding formations to buzz.

Circles of blazing golden light lit up and were continuously released from Shen Lian's body.

He had cultivated the Xuan Yang Body physical cultivation technique to the late fourth stage, and wisps of essence flowed like dragons in his flesh and blood.

After practicing the Xuan Yang Body, his physical cultivation level did not improve, but his strength alone increased by 30% compared to before.

"It's a pity that Xuan Yang Body is not a top-notch physical cultivation method, otherwise it could be improved even more."

Feeling his own strong body, Shen Lian couldn't help but touch it up and down, feeling regretful.

"It's a pity to lose such a strong body."

Then, he frowned slightly. Logically speaking, physical cultivation is also an orthodox method of cultivation, and it should also have realm tribulations.

When he cultivated his Xuan Yang body to the Golden Elixir stage, he began to deal with the heavenly tribulation. It was not because he was afraid of the heavenly tribulation, but he was wondering if there would be other problems if he cultivated both his Dharma body and his body.

But Shen Lian was overthinking it, the heavenly tribulation did not appear at all.

In this way, he cultivated the Xuan Yang Body to the fourth level.

Although the Xuan Yang Body is not a top-notch physical cultivation supernatural power, after practicing to the fourth level, it has also developed an additional physical cultivation supernatural power, the Golden Crow Dharma Image.

It can be considered as making up for the shortcomings of my own unconventional physical training.

The dragon of essence and energy wandering in the body is constantly absorbed into the middle dantian and transformed into the power of yin and yang and the five elements.

The Yin-Yang and Five Elements power of the middle dantian and the Yin-Yang and Five Elements magic power of the lower dantian, although they are different, the next paths are the same, that is, they both need to be integrated into the power of rules.

Shen Lian stopped practicing and prepared to relax for a few days.

The cave became lively.

"Master, have some tea." A girl who looked about seven or eight years old, wearing a green skirt and barefoot, came up to him with a smile.

It is exactly three thousand after advancing to the fourth level.

Not only Three Thousand, but also Twenty-Wan and Dahei have transformed. The bloodlines of the three little ones are acquired, so there is no difficulty in transforming.

The three of them turned into children who looked about seven or eight years old.

At this moment, the black-robed boy transformed by Dahei had two horns on his head.

Logically speaking, the two black horns can naturally melt away after they have taken shape, but Dahei said that the master likes to knock on my horns the most, so how can the master knock on them if they are melted away?

As soon as the flattery was spoken, Sanqian and Erwan started to beat him up.

Dahei's flattery is still the same as always.

"I have shed blood for my master."

Dahei grabbed a pestle and pounded the medicine, and rolled his eyes at Erwan.

"Flattery black."

"I have shed blood for my master."

…

After the transformation, the three little guys became much more noisy than before. In addition, there was a four-eyed spirit marten in the cave, which had no temper at all after being beaten by the three beasts.

After resting for half a month, Shen Lian started his retreat again.

…

“Boom!”

Lightning appeared in the void, and the lightning rolled in the air like a dragon and fell directly on a rocky area.

Crackling lightning fell, shattering the rocky area within a thousand miles in radius, revealing an area of ​​spiritual light restriction.

"Depend on!"

In an instant, there was a flash of spiritual light and the spiritual ban disappeared into the distance.

"How can you chop so accurately?"

Shen Lian changed places while cursing.

If you can't afford to provoke me, you can at least avoid me.

"He just doesn't believe that his luck will always be this bad."

…

Fifty years later.

A piece of black sand rolled in the void like a giant beast, swallowing any object it touched as it passed.

The black sand stretches for millions of miles, and you can see some broken spirit ships and corpses being pierced through the sand.

Five thousand miles from the edge of the black sand, sword light splashed around Shen Lian, constantly dispersing the sand and gravel that were sweeping over.

There was silence and pain on his face.

You have to believe in yourself, because it is very likely that luck will always be against you.

Anyone who is practicing and finds their practice area is swallowed up by black sand will have the same expression.

There are many celestial phenomena outside the domain. It is no longer a question of quantity, but of close proximity and greatness.

It was true that he had a star map in his hand, but the problem was that he couldn't rush out now and had no reference at all.

Layers of black magnetic light appeared around, looking extremely strange.

The moment the black magnetic light gathered, the sand from all directions was attracted and gathered in the direction of the magnetic light to form a sand beast.

After a few breaths, the outline of the sand beast became a hundred feet in size, but this was not the end. Sand beasts emerged one after another, forming a group of sand beasts, rushing towards him.

When Shen Lian saw these things, he was so angry that his teeth were itching.

He called these things the Black Sand Ancient Beasts. They seemed to be sand with no energy, but under the attraction of magnetic light, they could gather into beings with combat power comparable to that of a fourth-level warrior, and they also exuded a wild aura.

Shen Lian naturally didn’t care about the fourth-level black sand ancient beast, but what if there were ten thousand of them?

After these ancient beasts are smashed, as long as the black magnetic light is still there, they can be quickly reassembled, making them virtually indestructible.

Although he refined the Fuyao wood into his body during his retreat, greatly increasing his endurance, it still depends on who he is compared with.

Fortunately, he had already rushed to the edge of the black sand, and his magic power turned into sword light, smashing the sand beast that was chasing him from behind into pieces.

Half a day later, when a vast void appeared in front of him, Shen Lian breathed a long sigh of relief, but his body moved out in an instant and appeared a hundred miles away.

At the original location, a giant foot landed, leaving a large footprint in the void.

Then I saw a sand beast in the black sand, towering over the sky and splitting the earth, as big as a star.

"Okay, okay, I can't afford to offend you, but I can afford to hide from you. I won't get angry with a brainless stone."

With a sarcastic snort, Shen Lian flew towards the place where the outline of the continent was visible in the distance.

The huge sand beast in the rolling black sand collapsed inch by inch, forming an extremely large vortex storm in the sand sea.

In the millions of miles of black sand area, the floating broken spirit ships, corpses, spiritual treasures, plants and other things were attracted by the whirlpool and were drawn into the depths of the whirlpool little by little.

Such a huge vortex was formed, and a strong wind formed in the void.

Shen Lian, who was flying the ship, suddenly felt a wild pulling force coming from behind and looked back.

A vortex connecting the sky and the earth formed in the void behind, sweeping in everything in all directions.

“It’s not over yet.”

…

"Daoyou, help me."

Thousands of miles away, a spirit ship rolled over.

This place is close to an unknown immortal cultivation world, with many cultivators from outside the area coming and going. After encountering the huge whirlpool, they were all swept up.

"It's impossible to save him."

Shen Lian took a look, stomped his feet on the small ship, and then madly injected colorful magic power into the spirit ship, broke free from the pulling force behind it, and quickly headed towards the direction of the mainland.

Unfortunately, it's of no use.

The pulling force from behind was getting stronger and stronger. Even though Shen Lian had revealed all his secrets, he still couldn't run far and was swept back again.

The huge vortex pulled everything in all directions. Finally, seeing that there was no other way out, Shen Lian simply increased his magic power and crashed headfirst into a nearby meteorite.

Due to the right angle and strong force, he was perfectly embedded in the meteorite, forming a big "Tai" character, and entered the vortex as the meteorite rotated.

…

Yueling Immortal Realm, northern glacier.

Snowflakes were floating in the sky, and the void suddenly cracked, followed by a pile of rubble, grass, dead monks, living monks, broken spirit ships, etc., falling from the cracks.

It's like flowers scattered from heaven, falling on glaciers and wastelands.

Below the glacier, a black light flashed and disappeared, traveling a full three thousand miles before sinking into a snowy mountain.

A black light flashed, and a graceful female cultivator in a black dress appeared, with her legs spread out and her hands touching her nose.

"Damn it, cultivating immortals is too dangerous. Be careful when you go out next time."
