Chapter 210 Qin Keren's Changes
Southern Xinjiang.
Except for the Tiandao Sect, the strong men from various major forces have left one after another.
More than a month had passed, and all the magical herbs and medicines in this secret realm had been looted. As time passed, the concentration of spiritual energy here had become less than one-tenth of its original value.
Because it has not appeared in the world for tens of thousands of years, the spiritual energy in the secret realm has accumulated and not dissipated, forming a thick spiritual mist.
During this month, the spiritual energy that had accumulated in the secret realm for tens of thousands of years has been continuously spreading outward. Countless Jindan-stage cultivators have been practicing in the secret realm, causing the spiritual energy in the secret realm to gradually return to normal levels. The full picture of the secret realm has also been revealed to people.
Through a stone tablet somewhere in the secret realm, people have determined the origin of this secret realm.
This secret place was once the site of the Piaomiao Immortal Sect.
Almost everyone in the world of immortal cultivation, including the Nascent Soul ancestors of various sects and even the powerful gods, were extremely unfamiliar with this name. It was not until the powerful people of the Tiandao Sect looked through countless ancient books of the sect that they found some clues.
The Piaomiao Immortal Sect was the super overlord that dominated the Xuantian World in the previous era.
From a certain perspective, the current world of immortal cultivation is actually inheriting the incomplete Taoist tradition of the Piaomiao Immortal Sect.
The appearance of the Piaomiao Immortal Sect's ruins excited all parties at first. The elixirs, magic weapons, and cultivation techniques of that era were much more powerful than those of today. Any force that obtained them would see a rapid increase in strength.
But unfortunately, the Piaomiao Immortal Sect is too old to exist now, and all of the sect’s heritage has turned to ashes over the years.
The spiritual medicines in the secret realm were fought over by various forces, and the spiritual energy accumulated over tens of thousands of years was also consumed. As a result, this secret realm no longer had much value.
After taking inventory, the major forces discovered that their gains were far less than their losses.
Be it the righteous and evil sects, the Tiandao Sect, the Great Zhou Dynasty, or the demon clan, they did obtain a large number of elixirs, but many of the golden elixir stage cultivators that they had worked so hard to cultivate died in the secret realm.
The Tiandao Sect, in particular, sent elite members of the Jindan stage in order to compete for the resources in the secret realm, and none of them was weaker than the ninth level of the Jindan stage.
But no one expected that more than half of these people died in the secret realm, even the young master died there, and the murderer has not been caught yet.
Zhou Tian’s bounty order has been spread throughout the entire world of immortal cultivation by the Tiandao Sect.
Anyone who can provide information about this person will receive an extremely generous reward. The Tiandao Sect even promises that as long as Zhou Tian can be found based on the information provided, no matter what his cultivation level or identity is, he will be able to obtain the position of an elder of the Tiandao Sect and be guaranteed to successfully form his Nascent Soul.
If it is in the Nascent Soul stage, Tiandao Sect will provide assistance for its transformation into a spirit.
This level of reward is unprecedented, but the possibility of getting it is extremely small.
This secret realm is still constantly merging with the big world. After a month, several exits appeared in different locations in southern Xinjiang. Zhou Tian might have left long ago and disappeared without a trace.
Moreover, judging from the strength Zhou Tian displayed, let alone a mere Golden Core, even a Yuanying stage cultivator would probably die if they met him.
At this time, the Piaomiao Xianzong ruins had become the base camp of the Sun and Moon Sect.
Although the spiritual energy here is not as strong as before, it is still much better than outside. It is only inferior to the top caves such as Tiandao Secret Realm, Kunlun Cave Heaven, Emei Cave Heaven, etc. Those big sects look down on it, so Li Yu let the disciples of Sun and Moon Sect stay here.
He didn't have it all to himself.
After all, this is Southern Xinjiang. Li Yu did not prohibit the demons from entering and leaving. They can come here to practice at any time. Not only the demons, but also disciples of the righteous and evil ways, as well as various casual practitioners, are welcome here...
In less than a month, the originally dead secret realm became full of vitality. Li Yu asked the people of the Sun and Moon Sect to build a market on a mountain to facilitate their various transactions. In addition, he also set rules that private fighting is prohibited in the secret realm. As long as you enter this secret realm, whether you are from the righteous path, the evil path, or the monster clan, you must put aside the grudges outside, otherwise you will be driven out forever.
Half a month ago, Li Yu brought Jiang Li, Zhou Zixuan and Senior Sister Xu here.
Overall, although the spiritual energy of this secret realm is not as good as that of Kunlun Cave Heaven, the spiritual spring in the center is an excellent place for cultivation, which can increase the speed of cultivation several times. Over the past month, the demon girl and Senior Sister Qin have been practicing there.
Li Yu has not been idle this month. He has been in seclusion to digest the contents of the jade slips.
Those jade slips are the crystallization of the wisdom of countless generations of powerful people in the entire world of immortal cultivation in the previous era. Whether it is the skills, alchemy, refining, or formation, they have all reached the pinnacle and far surpass the current world of immortal cultivation.
There was so much information in the jade slip that he didn't even finish reading one percent of it in a whole month.
From the jade slips that recorded the alchemy, Li Yu found the recipe for the Barrier Breaking Pill that Wu Tong mentioned. This pill can directly improve the state of mind, but unfortunately, this pill is a sixth-grade pill, one grade higher than the Pregnancy Pill.
This means that even if all the materials are found, it will still require a sixth-grade alchemist to refine it.
In today's world of immortal cultivation, there is only one sixth-rank alchemist, and that is Kunlun Poxu Patriarch. And there has been no news of him for more than a hundred years.
He also discovered the method of forging immortal weapons from the jade slips that recorded the methods of refining weapons.
The five great immortal weapons were indeed from the Piaomiao Immortal Sect.
The reason why these magical weapons are so powerful is not because of the sophisticated methods of refining them, but because the materials used to refine these magic weapons are extremely precious.
According to the records in this jade slip, the materials for these immortal artifacts were not taken from this world itself, but from outside the sky.
Several immortal artifacts themselves are made entirely of extraterrestrial materials, and their imitations are also mixed with the remaining extraterrestrial materials after the immortal artifacts were made, so they have powers that ordinary magic weapons do not have.
The several magic weapons that Li Yu obtained from the Star Pavilion are the highest-level imitations of these immortal weapons.
The cultivation techniques of that era opened Li Yu's eyes.
Some people cultivate their magic power, some cultivate their bodies, some cultivate their souls, and some people feel that their bodies are too weak, so they place their souls on mechanical puppets, and through continuous sacrifices and refinement of the puppets, they improve their own strength, and eventually break through the void and ascend on the spot...
Li Yu also found a martial arts book called "Yin Yang Jue" from the jade slip.
This Yin-Yang Secret was exactly the same as the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Secret that he knew. It seemed that the Five Elements Sect of the last era should have passed down this technique.
In ancient times, people who practiced this kind of skills generally . They practiced the five spiritual veins together, and after the Nascent Soul stage, they used a Nascent Soul essence to recreate an incarnation, and practiced the five spiritual veins in reverse, practicing skills with different attributes from the original body.
With the help of the Nascent Soul body, the cultivation level of this clone will improve very quickly until it catches up with the level of the original body.
After both the clone and the original body have reached the realm of the Five Spirit Veins, they can fuse the Five Elements' souls and advance directly to the stage of Breaking the Void. At this time, by fusing the Yin and Yang Breaking the Void souls of the same origin of the soul together, they can reach the realm of heaven and man.
This method is known to the immortal cultivators of these two eras.
Unfortunately, the method of splitting one's body was not passed down.
The jade slip explains in detail how to use the essence of the Nascent Soul to create another incarnation. All one needs to do is practice a secret technique of splitting the soul.
And this method is not the only shortcut to achieving heavenly being.
You can also abandon your physical body after breaking through the void, choose to merge your soul with someone else, use another person's body reversely practice your spiritual veins, and practice again. When this new body also reaches the void breaking realm, the two souls will be completely merged, and you can also ascend to the celestial being.
However, this method has very high requirements for the person who fuses the souls. It requires the souls of the person who fuses the souls and the person whose souls are fused to be highly compatible, and it is difficult to find a suitable host.
Li Yu couldn't help but think of Zhou Tian.
He felt more and more that Zhou Tian’s soul must have been merged into someone’s.
But Li Yu was not sure whether the soul he merged was the Incarnation or the Void.
Theoretically speaking, if the powerful person whose soul has merged with his seals a part of his soul power, they can enter the low-level secret realm together. If it is a Yuanshen at the Void Breaking level, it will be even easier.
The "empty" in the virtual realm also means "empty" in the void. They have comprehended some of the power of space and can travel through different spaces without being restricted by the power of space.
Both of these methods are shortcuts to becoming a celestial being, but in the Piaomiao Immortal Sect, they are still considered inferior.
Whether it is a clone or a fusion of souls, external objects must be used.
Another method is to open five more spiritual veins in your own body, expanding the number of spiritual veins to ten, five of which are practiced positively and five are practiced reversely. Eventually, the five elements will be combined into yin and yang, and yin and yang will become heaven and man.
The top geniuses of Piaomiao Immortal Sect all chose this path.
It was also the first time that Li Yu knew that the human body could open five more spiritual veins.
However, after carefully studying this method, he found that this approach simply did not work.
No matter it is clone or fusion of souls, as long as the cultivation is sufficient, everyone can do it.
But to open the spiritual vein again, a high-level elixir is needed.
The high-level here is not the high-level in the traditional sense of today's immortal cultivation world, but the high-level from the previous era.
The elixir that can reopen the spiritual veins is an elixir called "Creation Pill".
It is no exaggeration to say that it can create spiritual veins out of thin air and has the power to seize the fortune of heaven and earth.
The grade of this pill is seventh grade.
It is also the only seventh-grade elixir, which requires a seventh-grade alchemist to refine.
The number one alchemist in the current world of immortal cultivation, Kunlun Poxu Patriarch, is only at the sixth level. If one wants to refine elixirs, not to mention the materials, the refiner must not only have the attainments of a seventh-level alchemist, but also have the strength of a celestial being.
In today's world of cultivating immortals, no one can refine this kind of elixir.
Li Yu considered it comprehensively and decided that if he wanted to take a shortcut, it would be more reliable to wait until he reached the Nascent Soul stage, then cultivate his clone and practice the Yin-Yang Technique.
After a while, Li Yu walked out of a hall.
Outside, in a square covered by a formation, two figures were fighting fiercely.
This is something that happens every day and Li Yu has become accustomed to it.
At this moment, inside the protective formation.
Qin Keren's attack was fierce, and Nangong Chan was in a panic.
Nangong Chan looked at Qin Keren, her eyes full of confusion.
That doesn't make sense...
She was clearly able to suppress Qin Keren before, and these days, she has been practicing with her every day, so there is no reason for her to be caught up with her in cultivation.
If it's not because of magic power, then it's because of the state of mind.
But why did Qin Keren's state of mind improve faster than hers?
I pester Li Yu every day to try new things and unlock new postures. I can feel the changes in my state of mind every day, while Qin Keren is just practicing. Could it be that she also secretly seeks improvement from Li Yu?
