Chapter 131 Terrifying Enhancement
At this moment, in the dark underground cave.
The flashes of lightning beside the Thunder Pool illuminated two opposing figures.
A young monk dressed in plain white robes clasped his hands together, a golden glint between his brows flickering in the lightning.
Opposite him stood a stunningly beautiful female cultivator in a black short dress, her hands behind her back. Her long legs were faintly visible through the hem of her dress, and she exuded a subtle, chilling aura.
Clearly, the young monk had also discovered that this place, though seemingly a minefield, led to something extraordinary.
"Amitabha Buddha." The young monk Linghui softly chanted the Buddha's name, his clear eyes seemingly able to see through people's hearts.
"If I am not mistaken, this female benefactor has an extraordinary background, but she carries heavy karmic burdens and is currently at a critical juncture on her path of spiritual cultivation. One wrong step could lead to utter ruin."
"Hey bald kid, why are you meddling in other people's business?!"
A cold glint flashed in Ning Bu'er's eyes, and the Nine Yin Demon Flame flickered faintly at his fingertips.
But she did not act immediately, because the moment the little monk appeared, the demonic thoughts lurking deep within her soul suddenly trembled violently.
"Watch out for that bald monk!" a demonic thought shrieked in her mind. "This person is definitely not simple!"
Demonic thoughts and intentions are naturally restrained by various supernatural powers of Buddhism.
This young monk in front of me may look frighteningly young,
However, Buddhist wisdom is not something that can be cultivated over time.
Sometimes, bowing before the Buddha for thousands of years may not elicit any response, while some people, even infants, are already bathed in the Buddha's light.
The little monk in front of us is the second type.
Just by standing there, there was a feeling that instilled fear in that demonic thought.
You should know that the demonic thought was a Nascent Soul level demonic cultivator in its previous life!
Ning Bu'er also had this feeling; in front of this little monk, she felt that her Nine Yin Demon Flame seemed to be slowed down considerably.
She immediately realized that this little bald guy was her nemesis.
However, she wasn't afraid. Even if things went badly, she still had a third-tier puppet to protect herself.
"I do not wish to be entangled in the karma of this female benefactor."
However, there are some mysteries surrounding this Thunder Pool, which the benefactor has almost no chance of figuring out.
This humble monk offers a word of advice: whether you are a Buddha or a demon, righteous or evil, it doesn't matter.
All cultivation techniques are external things; the true and the false reside within one's heart.
While the Thunder Soul Technique is excellent, it may not be suitable for you. This secret realm contains many demonic cultivation traditions, so you are not overly opposed to it.
As long as one guards one's true nature, even the abyss of demonic thoughts can be a path to the universe.
Linghui said a lot of seemingly plausible but ultimately meaningless things.
Ning Bu'er was slightly startled; the other party couldn't detect the demonic thoughts hidden in her sea of consciousness.
However, the other party was able to see the cause and effect of her cultivation.
This young monk should not be underestimated.
"That's right, Xiao Ning, this monk clearly has Buddhist wisdom; he saw the problem at a glance."
Even if you, a demonic cultivator prodigy, pursue the Thunder Soul Technique with great effort, it will be a case of diminishing returns.
"Why not listen to me and seize the demonic legacy of this place? In the future, if we join forces, we will surely become a legendary demon tyrant!"
"Hmph! Dream on!"
Who says that only the righteous path can cultivate the Thunder Soul Inheritance?
I'd rather not be second-rate and just give it a try!
You don't need to overthink it. If I were incapable, I wouldn't have left this body to you.
"I will self-destruct my soul and destroy my physical body, but I will never compromise with you!"
Ning Bu'er responded to the demonic thoughts in his heart.
A resolute look appeared on his face, and he coldly snorted at the young monk:
"Hmph! I don't need you, little monk, meddling in my business."
No matter how difficult it is to inherit the Thunder Soul, I will obtain it!
Little bald guy, not everything in this world is something you can see through at a glance.
What, are you going to fight me for this place?
Ning Bu'er assumed a fighting stance, and the Nine Yin Demon Flame flared up on his body.
Linghui frowned slightly as she looked at the Nine Yin Demon Flame.
Demons and Buddhas are mutually restraining; although he is not afraid of this demonic flame, dealing with it is extremely troublesome.
If we were to engage in a major battle here, it would inevitably consume some of the energy from the Golden Crystal Core, which would be quite wasteful.
"Very well, this place will be given to you, female benefactor."
However, the Thunder Pool is right here, and no one can take it away. It's not a matter of whoever arrives first being destined to be there.
Since the female benefactor is unwilling to heed my advice, then I shall go and plunder the hidden demonic lair within this secret realm.
"Do as you please, little bald guy!"
"Amitabha.
"Since that's the case, I'll gladly accept this small amount of karmic merit. Please don't regret it, female benefactor."
The young monk clasped his hands together, and the next moment, his entire body flashed with golden light and he vanished to the ground.
Ning Bu'er's eyes narrowed upon seeing this, surprised. This little monk had indeed cultivated more than just body refinement; his magical abilities were equally formidable.
He was able to use a third-tier earth-遁术 (earth-遁术, a technique that allows one to escape from the earth) with only second-tier magical power, and in such an unworldly way.
It was as if an ancient monster who had cultivated for thousands of years was using such a low-level spell.
Ning Bu'er shook his head and ignored the strange man.
Simultaneously
She also forcibly suppressed the incessantly screaming demonic thoughts within her soul; the other party was the one who most wanted Ning Bu'er to obtain those demonic sect inheritances.
Because during the process of obtaining the inheritance, Ning Bu'er was able to devour the subtle demonic thoughts within it to strengthen himself.
Furthermore, it can take advantage of Ning Bu'er's lack of attention to quietly occupy a deeper position in his soul sea.
Ning Bu'er, his expression hardening once more, reached his hand into the Thunder Pool.
Instantly, a painful scream came from within his soul.
"Here we go again! I've already said I'd coexist peacefully with you and stop interfering with your soul. If you keep doing this, you'll never learn the Thunder Soul Sect's inheritance, and we'll all die!"
On the other side, several dark corners within the secret realm were illuminated by a glimmer of golden light.
After sweeping through several demonic dens, the young monk's demeanor became even more ethereal, and his spiritual cultivation reached a new level.
Finally, he came to a stone tortoise the size of a small mountain deep in the secret realm, stood still, and hesitated for a moment.
In the underground secret room of the former Chen family's private kitchen in the sub-city of Xiancheng.
Chen Yi sat cross-legged, surrounded by a faint spiritual light.
After several days of recuperation, his damaged soul gradually recovered.
at this time,
His spiritual realm was even more beautiful than Qin Chengcheng's after he advanced to the third rank.
The sky is dotted with stars, seemingly twinkling, but upon closer inspection, they are not clearly visible.
Below, thick thunderclouds, exceeding the initial stage of the third rank, drifted about, with flashes of lightning occasionally appearing within them.
The stone island in the center of the Soul Sea has expanded more than tenfold compared to its original size, and the scenery on the island has been completely transformed.
The icy pool was crystal clear and exuded a chilling aura;
Green rice leaves sway in the wind, full of vitality; specks of gold twinkle and flicker in the void.
Lava churns and heat waves roll in the volcanic pool.
The scenes formed by these four-colored divine senses represent a qualitative leap compared to the second stage.
Whether it's healing, freezing, fire, or needle attacks, the power has increased several times over.
The area beneath the Soul Sea remained chaotic and unclear, with only occasional glimpses of the vague outlines of underwater mountains and fragments of memories appearing and disappearing within them.
Chen Yi's spiritual power has completely advanced to the third level.
His divine sense's coverage area expanded from over five hundred feet to over three thousand feet.
The situation within a radius of ten miles is all within sight.
This is no longer the lowest level of the initial third-order divine sense standard.
Chen Yi's Divine Sense Shield, Divine Sense Needle, and Four Symbols Divine Sense abilities are all close to the mid-grade third-tier Divine Soul abilities.
In particular, his mastery of the Divine Soul Lightning has now reached the level of mid-grade third rank.
This is just one example.
After his divine sense advanced to the third level, Chen Yi's control over the spiritual power within his body reached an unprecedented level of precision.
Every wisp of magical power and every strand of golden radiance was clearly discernible and operated freely under the powerful divine sense.
The divine soul injury caused by lightning during his tribulation has now recovered by more than 80%, and the remaining injuries can be healed by slowly nourishing him with Qinghe Spirit Dew.
He couldn't wait to try to activate his third-order divine sense and circulate the "Taiyi Longevity True Talisman".
This trial yielded results that far exceeded expectations!
The efficiency of the cultivation technique was more than twice as high as before!
Using a Core Formation level spiritual sense to control a Foundation Establishment stage cultivation technique, the precision of spiritual power mobilization and the smoothness of meridian circulation are far beyond what they used to be.
The threshold of the mid-stage Foundation Establishment, which was originally expected to take another year to reach, was broken through in one fell swoop with the support of the "Thunderfire Nirvana Soup"!
The transformation brought about by the advancement of his divine sense allowed his cultivation to naturally advance to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.
Chen Yi took a deep breath, his pores opening wide, frantically absorbing the spiritual energy from the spiritual veins like a whale sucking in water.
Half a day later, the total amount of mana in his dantian increased by 50%, and its quality improved even further, becoming several times more refined than when he was in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
The magical power surged through his meridians like a mighty river, circulating endlessly, subtly revealing a powerful and majestic force.
Chen Yi had tried it before. In the early stages of Foundation Establishment, he could barely convert wood elemental power into wind elemental power, and it was extremely difficult for him to use the [Azure Wind Escape].
Now that I've advanced to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, I can use this escape technique relatively easily.
Although there is still a gap between Chen Yi's skill in escape techniques and Feng Qingjun's third-level level, with his current cultivation, the speed of the [Azure Wind Escape] is already comparable to the full-speed escape of a Foundation Establishment peak cultivator!
This was a major breakthrough for him.
Previously, apart from his formidable physical strength, Chen Yi had rather limited means of survival.
Now, with the blessing of the [Azure Wind Escape], there has been a qualitative leap in escape speed.
Even when faced with a crisis, his escape speed far surpassed that of other Foundation Establishment cultivators of the same level.
It is even comparable to ordinary pseudo-core cultivators—and if combined with the explosive amplification of [Vajra Step] and [Willow Step], it may even be slightly superior in the short term.
More importantly,
Chen Yi had recently vaguely sensed that the [Azure Wind Escape] was incompatible with ordinary Five Elements Escape Techniques, but had a natural affinity with lightning attribute techniques.
Although he hasn't specialized in any other lightning-based spells besides [Thunderfire Golden Crystal] and [Soul Thunder],
Even so, when he tried to integrate a trace of lightning spirit power into the light cluster of Azure Wind Escape, he felt a smooth, seamless fusion.
"Perhaps, I can look for similar magical techniques and supernatural abilities in the Thunder Soul Sect's heritage later on."
The Azure Wind Escape technique is already considered a relatively advanced escape technique.
If one could add a lightning technique, transforming it into a Wind and Lightning Escape,
Chen Yi couldn't even imagine how awesome it must be.
After advancing to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage in terms of magical power
Chen Yi did not forget his fundamental principle—body refinement.
Now that his divine sense has been fully advanced to the third rank, and his Four Symbols Divine Sense Binding can even briefly touch the middle level of the third rank, his control over the energy in his body has reached an unprecedented level of precision.
Chen Yi now has access to the Five Elements Golden Radiance, Thunderfire Golden Crystal, Three-Colored Golden Crystal, and the Golden Crystal Core synthesized from 35 strands of golden radiance within his body.
From gazing at the moon's reflection in the water to seeing it clearly as if it were fire,
The flow of golden light, the condensed structure of golden crystals, and even the harmonizing effect of the Azure Dragon Jadeite are all clearly discernible, like the lines on the palm of one's hand.
After numerous attempts, Chen Yi discovered that the amount of Azure Dragon Jadeite required to fuse the Five Elements Golden Radiance and the Three-Colored Golden Crystal had been greatly reduced, while the success rate had been significantly increased.
This means that whether it's tempering the bones or strengthening the internal organs, efficiency will increase exponentially.
More importantly, his reliance on chrysoprase is gradually decreasing.
If one day, he no longer needs Azure Dragon Jade Marrow to fuse the Five Elements Golden Radiance or the Three-Colored Golden Crystal, or if he finds a substitute...
Then he can leave the Azure Dragon Sect completely.
Chen Yi made a preliminary attempt at the gold crystal core, which was originally formed by the fusion of 35 strands of golden light.
With the support of a more powerful divine sense, his control over energy has reached an unprecedented level of precision, and he can now easily combine 40 strands of golden light into one.
Although it is still far from the golden crystal core formed by the fusion of 60 strands of golden light.
However, the quality of the golden crystal core condensed from 40 strands of golden light has been greatly improved, and it can be considered to be of medium to high quality even among treasures in the early stage of the third tier.
More importantly, as one's spiritual awareness increases, the nourishing effect of the golden crystal core also increases accordingly.
Now, Chen Yi can control the 40-strand golden crystal core in his body like a magical artifact.
While not quite at the level of complete mastery, it is already quite powerful in actual combat:
Facing the rudimentary form of an ordinary quasi-third-tier magic weapon, he was able to directly confront it by using his divine sense to activate the golden crystal core!
Of course, due to the difficulty of control, the Golden Crystal Core cannot yet attack enemies from a distance. At present, it is mainly used for close-range attacks or to block the bombardment of ranged magic weapons.
Over the past two weeks, Chen Yi has been systematically reviewing his newfound knowledge of cultivation techniques, improvements in escape skills, skill transformations, and enhancements with golden crystals, and has finally achieved initial results.
It will take years of refinement to fully integrate these improvements.
The significant improvement in his cultivation level brought Chen Yi peace of mind and added to his joy.
However, after fusing dozens of Five Elements Golden Radiance and Three-Colored Golden Crystals,
The last of the Azure Dragon Jade Marrow has been used up.
The resources of the five elements, including those that integrate these golden radiances, are almost exhausted.
The spiritual energy from the Thunder Pool that was brought out from the secret realm last time has not been replenished.
Chen Yi prepared to use the remaining peak-level second-tier magnets given by the Jade Dragon Sect to create a large lightning-collecting device.
Let's go back to the secret realm.
See if we can obtain some resources or something.
Now, his strength has improved again, especially his resistance to soul lightning, which has reached an unprecedented level.
It's even higher than his physical body's resistance to lightning spiritual power.
Chen Yi felt that he should be able to make a preliminary attempt at the third level of the Inheritance Hall.
However, this is not urgent for now.
First, drain the thunder pool and thunder liquid in the underground cave, and then go in when you have reached your peak.
at this time,
At the entrance to the third level of the Secret Realm Inheritance Hall, amidst swirling lightning, a graceful figure appeared first.
Qiu Li was surrounded by fine lightning patterns, and her plain white dress shimmered with a pale purple halo under the lightning.
Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her cool gaze swept across the third level of space, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
To enter this third level, one must pass through the raging lightning pool at the entrance.
This Thunder Pool is extremely strange; any external magical artifacts or talismans will become ineffective. Cultivators can only rely on their physical bodies to withstand it or forcefully break through with pure magical power.
At the crucial moment, Qiu Li unleashed his trump card technique, [Lightning Escape], transforming himself into a dazzling bolt of lightning that instantly pierced through the lightning pool barrier, allowing him to enter the third level.
The other cultivators on the second floor, seeing Qiu Li go in first, also gained some understanding.
I roughly understand the intensity of that Thunder Pool and how to enter it.
The swordsman, with his left hand raised, was thinking of a solution and preparing to try.
To enter the third level, he could no longer rely on the light sword's protective aura alone, unless he could transform his body into a sword pellet, achieving oneness with the sword. However, such a divine ability was clearly beyond the cultivation capabilities of the Foundation Establishment stage.
In addition, he had one last option: to unleash his full power, unleashing a terrifying sword intent that pierced through the Thunder Pool and allowed him to enter it.
However, this method requires him to consume all his magical power, and if it fails, he may be seriously injured. He needs to observe and calculate further.
Not far away, the young master surnamed Ji was constantly calculating with his fingertips, deducing the best breakthrough plan.
The group of geniuses from Qi looked at each other, their faces filled with solemnity.
At this moment,
Just then, a flash of light appeared at the entrance to the second level.
Two figures, a monk and a woman, arrived one after the other.
The young monk had exquisite features, with a golden spot on his forehead;
The girl in the black dress had long, slender legs, and her jade-like skin could be vaguely seen through the hem of her skirt. Her beauty was comparable to that of Qin Chengcheng and Qiu Li.
For a moment, it added a bright spot to this dangerous place filled with minefields.
Today I finally feel a bit better.
I'll write more carefully from now on; the first few chapters were indeed a bit padded.
Because my health is so poor, I can't finish writing anything without writing a little bit of fluff. I can't think straight after writing for two hours every day.
First, keep the pace steady and advance the plot, then try to increase the word count as much as possible each day.
Flowing water does not compete for the first place, the contention is endless.
I would also like to thank my readers for their continued support. I will strive to repay everyone in the future.
bow!
