After arriving suddenly and defenselessly at Yueling Continent, Shen Lian felt that there were some things he could prepare to do.
His strength and means were too low in the past, but now, even if he encounters those forbidden gods, he is able to fight.
Especially things like the Three Thousand Tribulations Spirit Leaves, which are new things that have appeared in ten thousand years.
Generally speaking, some of the changes he knew about so far all started ten thousand years ago, such as it becoming easier to advance to the state of incarnation than before, and possessing another's body becoming a trend.
To talk about the near future, he encountered overlapping spaces derived from the order of heaven and earth, the Five Elements Fairy Palace appeared more frequently than before, and spiritual objects suddenly fell from the Fairy Palace.
There is no need to guess about the two things of overlapping space and the Five Elements Immortal Palace. Just keep reading. Perhaps it won’t be long before new overlapping spaces appear and the Five Elements Immortal Palace will come again.
"Three thousand years is a limit. To have such a long life span to wait, one must at least be a cultivator in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm. A cultivator in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm probably doesn't have such a great ability to lay out a plan."
Shen Lian pinched the spirit leaf and began to make hypothetical guesses in his mind.
He directly assumed that the appearance of the Three Thousand Tribulations Spirit Leaves was manipulated by a mastermind behind the scenes.
For human cultivators, after advancing from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage, their lifespan will skyrocket to three thousand years. If they can successfully cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, their lifespan will reach five to six thousand years.
Some people who practice wood attributes or special skills, or take longevity elixirs, may be able to live a few hundred more years.
When one first enters the Spiritual Transformation Realm, one’s lifespan will increase to eight thousand years.
In other words, the cultivators who have advanced to the Divine Transformation stage simply give up and don't practice or comprehend anything. They just find a place to bury themselves and quietly wait for their lifespan to run out, which will take about eight thousand years.
This lifespan is not cumulative. A cultivator in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm is six thousand years old when he advances to the Spirit Transformation Realm. If he is frozen in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm and does not advance any further, then he will only have about two thousand years to live.
Therefore, for the cultivators who have reached the stage of Divine Transformation, their lifespan is actually not very long.
And if one cultivates to the late stage of Spirit Transformation or even perfection, the lifespan will be increased to tens of thousands. But in fact, if one cultivates to the late stage of Spirit Transformation or even perfection at the age of eight thousand, the lifespan will only be more than two thousand years, unless one can ascend to the upper realm to obtain more advanced spiritual objects to continue to improve.
But the world of immortal cultivation is in such a state now. There is no way to ascend to the immortal realm, and the bodies of the immortal cultivators are rotting away. It is truly a double disaster.
These life spans and destinies are based on the human race. Generally speaking, there are more in the demon race. For example, there are only a few in the entire world of immortal cultivation, such as the Bone Moth Clan, whose life span is three times longer than that of humans.
Their number is so small that there may be only a few digits.
Compared with other races in the world of immortal cultivation, the lifespan of human race is at a medium level, neither high nor low.
Shen Lian thought about it. Even if the person behind the scenes was a genius like him, who could break through the Spirit Transformation Realm at the age of five or six hundred, and use the rest of the time for planning and layout, and after everything was laid out and perfected, he could only harvest spirit leaves three times at most.
"No, that's wrong. Although the spirit leaves can resist the decay of the physical body for three thousand years, the spirit masters can replace them with new spirit leaves along the way. In this way, they can harvest more times."
"The cultivators who blocked the eighteen core continents are from the major forces that span the world of immortal cultivation. This means that the person behind the scenes is also one of these major forces."
"But what is it about the core eighteen continents that attracts cultivators?"
During these days, Shen Lian also searched for some information, but unfortunately he did not obtain much information about the Eighteen Core Continents.
All of his speculations were based on the belief that "there are always villains who want to harm him."
But this is not a random guess. Even the God Transformation stage has become a chess piece. If he does not plan well, wouldn't the God Transformation stage also become a part of the chess piece?
Unless he goes into seclusion, but that requires resources.
For a moment, Shen Lian seemed to have returned to the time when he was in the Wilderness, Chu State, and the Bishui Sect's market, where he had to practice carefully for fear of being affected by others.
Apart from assuming that there is someone behind the scenes harvesting the Divine Transformation cultivators, there is also the issue of the Five Elements Immortal Palace. It is time for him to hide.
But if you want to hide, you must have eyes and ears outside to ensure that you have control over the information.
…
"Master, are you sure this little bug can merge with my offspring and there won't be any reproductive barriers?"
Dahei lay aside, watching two pairs of bone moths mating.
No matter how it looked at it, it felt that this thing was not a member of the same family as it.
"Master, Dahei has the audacity to keep me quiet. I will try my best to train new offspring for you to command, and I will not let you down."
At this moment, in front of Shen Lian, the Fuyao wood was swaying its body, emitting a green light all over its body. Its roots were like small feet, supporting its body as it moved back and forth.
Among the inherited spiritual plant crafts, in addition to the true mistletoe technique, there are also many kinds of cultivation secrets and corresponding spiritual plant practice methods, which are more advanced than what he got from Qingyi back then.
Shen Lian chose a method called "Spirit Seed Technique" as a matching method for spiritual planting practice. This method emphasizes the word "seed", using the body as a field to nurture the tree of true spirit.
At that time, Qingyi used the spiritual plants he cultivated to connect with the plants and trees in the mountains to serve as spies, and Shen Lian also prepared to do the same.
However, this method is not uncommon, and I believe that there are cultivators using it in every world of immortal cultivation.
What he had to do was to be more covert than his peers.
Watching Shen Lian's spiritual thoughts blending with the spiritual plant, Dahei, who received no response, felt a little disappointed. It wasn't that he thought the bone moth was useless, but he felt that he was a little useless.
What else can I do to help my master?
Inside the meteorite cave.
The two pairs of bone moths were mating rapidly. Of course, it was so intense because Shen Lian had set up a spirit gathering array in the area where they were, and also placed some bliss pills and elixirs that increased conception.
Tarsal thought that he could not control the bone moth worm. He was not making fun of Shen Lian, but this kind of bone moth worm was a companion worm of the bone moth clan. No outsiders could cultivate it. This was recognized in the world of immortal cultivation.
In Shen Lian's inheritance, there is a method to control the bone moth worm, which is to fuse the blood with another worm. During the process of blood fusion, the companion mark engraved by the bone moth worm in the blood will be weakened due to the addition of another blood.
The bone moth starts out as an egg, then breaks out of its cocoon as it grows and grows transparent wings.
Otherwise, Shen Lian would not have asked for these two pairs of bone moth insects.
The Fuyao wood and the hybrid bone moth insects will be his next means of gaining insight into the surroundings.
The current situation in Yueling Continent did not come about overnight. Shen Lian planned to take a closer look. There is no fox that does not show its tail.
Of course, the steps to advance to the divine level cannot be delayed.
The Merit Clone participated in the barter meeting in the Holy Ape's Blessed Land in order to inquire about clam pearls and collect related elixirs.
In addition to refining the Haisheng Mingyue Pill, Shen Lian actually has an immature method to guard against the possible arrival of the extraterritorial demons.
The strength of his divine sense is now almost reaching 430,000 feet. The pure soul power transformed from the soul of the farmer is still suspended in his sea of divine sense. Even if he can only refine one tenth of it in his current state, his divine sense will reach more than 500,000 feet.
If a demon from outer space really comes at that time, he will simply crush it with his extremely powerful divine power.
But there is a hidden danger. According to legend, the strength of the extraterritorial demon is closely related to the strength of the cultivator. He is afraid of the arrival of an extraterritorial demon with a spiritual power of 500,000 feet.
The last time I encountered the extraterritorial demon, I heard things from the demon's mouth that I shouldn't have heard.
He claimed that he was the God of the Extraterritorial Demon Palace and asked him to surrender as soon as possible.
Shen Lian really wanted to get more information from Tianmo.
After all, his goal is to ascend, and he doesn't want to stop at the state of transformation.
It can be said that after advancing to the God Transformation stage, he will also face the same problems that today’s God Transformation cultivators face.
"No, no, I'm wrong. I'm the ancestor of the black-horned ants, and I can also be the ancestor of the black-horned moth hybrid. How can I, a fourth-level black-horned ant, not be able to sleep with a tiny moth?"
Dahei, who did not receive a response from Shen Lian, looked at the mating bone moths, and a raging fire burned in his heart.
"Let the master give me some medicine, I won't believe it."
…
Time passes.
The Merit Clone has been staying in the Mountain Ape Holy City for nearly twenty years. During this period, he has constantly changed his identity to live in the Holy Ape Blessed Land and participate in the Exchange Conference.
All the auxiliary medicines for refining Haisheng Mingyue Pill have been collected, except for the main medicine, old clam pearls. Unfortunately, there is still no news.
There is still no news about the spiritual master who I heard owned a clam pet.
But there is good news.
For example, Shen Lian has already started his own planting plan. He has selected nearly 100 species of plants, including maidenhair fern, phoenix fern, communis, holly grass, various types of trees such as fir, pine and cypress, as well as moss, as his eyes.
The reason why so many plants were selected was mainly to adapt to local conditions. The weather in Yueling Northland was cold and only moss and fungi appeared. He couldn't just plant a few big trees.
Combining the existing plants in the area, he cultivated the seeds and cuttings of these plants on the Fuyao tree.
After some cultivation, he started the greening plan.
Shen Lian took everything into consideration: the mountains, the old places, the rift valleys, the bottom of the lake, and the soil.
These things are not of high quality, and their specific spirituality is determined by the environment in the area where they are located.
Of course, these low-level spiritual creatures can only be used as spies. If you want to obtain more information, you still need high-level spiritual creatures.
As a tree planter in the world of immortal cultivation, the place where trees can be planted is not only the earth, the dantian is also a field.
…
Inside the Holy Ape Cave.
A new barter fair has begun.
A little female cultivator with pointed ears and a tail tiptoed up to the various strange figures.
“I have a jade slip here that records a place called Shenmu Sect. It is said that this is a sect that practices spiritual plants, but this sect was destroyed a long time ago.
This jade slip was left behind before the demise of this sect. If any Taoist friends want to find an opportunity, they can take the jade slip and try. Anyway, I have been looking for it for a long time but haven't found it.
Now I sell it at a low price, and exchange it for a fourth-grade high-quality Yunmeng Stone."
"Shenmu Sect?"
"Where have I heard of this sect?"
As soon as the words fell, whispers arose among the monks present.
"I remember now, wasn't there a large sect called Shenmu in the spiritual cultivation world eighty thousand months ago?"
On a tree branch, a puppet bird that looked like a lark showed interest and said, "I've changed. I have nothing to do, so I might as well look for some ruins to play with."
The core of the puppet lark is Shen Lian.
The little female cultivator with pointy ears is also Shen Lian.
At this moment, he made a deal with himself.
