Chapter 222: Refining Void Stage
With the surrender of Ouyue, it meant that the time was ripe for the establishment of the Yue State.
Qin Mo was not in a hurry.
He simply changed Ouyue to Kuaiji County, and sent the Director of Military Affairs Jia Xu to take over the Ouyue army and reorganize it into the Eighth Corps of the Nanyue Army.
Before the State of Yue was established, it already had an extremely powerful army.
after,
Qin Mo disappeared from everyone's sight. In fact, he quietly returned to the Black and White Mountain Villa and entered the Windless Cave for seclusion, preparing to make a final push to break through to the Void Refining Stage.
This is not a difficult task for Qin Mo.
Only after breaking through the Void Refining Stage will Qin Mo have the strength to barely fight Shang Jun. He won't have to hide from place to place like he does now, and can walk openly in the Warring States subcontinent.
Only in this way,
Only then could the State of Yue stand up with dignity without having to rely on others.
…
Qin Mo's retreat lasted for five full months, from summer to winter.
Windless tunnel, quiet room.
Qin Mo slowly opened his eyes. The floor of the quiet room was covered with a thick layer of dust, but his body was spotless. His eyes were as clear as water, yet as unfathomable as the abyss.
Deep in his eyes, there was a faint flash of purple lightning.
That is the sign of practicing the "Shenxiao True Method" to the sixth level. If you go one step further and enter the seventh level, the mark of thunder will be very clearly imprinted in your eyes.
As he walked, he brought his own thunder.
At this point, ordinary magic is useless to Qin Mo and is not as convenient as thunder magic.
Cultivation is similar to studying.
Before going to college, I learned everything and knew a little bit about everything. I knew astronomy, geography, and was well-versed in history and present. I knew about five thousand years in the past and five hundred years in the future.
University starts to divide majors, and graduate school requires choosing even more specialized fields.
The higher you go, the more professional you become.
The same goes for cultivators. Before they become gods, they learn the five elements magic, the art of talismans, the art of alchemy, the art of refining weapons, the art of setting up formations, and even the planting and cultivating of spiritual herbs, the taming of monsters, and so on.
Learn a little bit of everything.
After reaching the state of spiritual transformation, the cultivators' usual methods will become fewer and fewer, and they will only use the two or three Taoist magics that they are best at, without any other fancy tricks.
It’s not that I don’t know how, but that I don’t need to.
After overcoming the tribulation and becoming an immortal, one must choose one of the three thousand great ways, begin to study it in detail, and slowly try to comprehend the laws of the great way in preparation for the future integration with the great way.
The same goes for ritual instruments.
Before becoming a god, one would have offensive magic weapons, defensive magic weapons, comprehensive magic weapons, strange magic weapons, and auxiliary magic weapons. Rich people would like to have a set of everything.
After becoming a spirit, what one usually uses is actually his own magical weapon.
At most, you can add a handy flying sword.
In his previous life, Qin Mo knew that he was dull, so from the beginning, he did not spend too much energy on making talismans, refining pills, refining equipment, and setting up formations. He could only be considered to have some knowledge of them.
What really consumed Qin Mo's energy was studying the fundamental matter of "Shenxiao Zhenfa".
This is called self-awareness.
Precisely because of this, Qin Mo may not be good at other things, but in terms of his understanding of the "Shenxiao True Method", especially the first nine levels, he can at least be ranked among the top 100 in the Shenxiao Sect.
This is already very remarkable.
Due to the solid foundation of Taoism laid in his previous life, Qin Mo was able to achieve breakthroughs smoothly every time he was reincarnated in this life, without any accidents.
It can be seen that every sip and every bite is predestined.
After breaking through to the Void Refinement Stage, Qin Mo’s strength more than doubled.
Realm: Refining Void Stage (Early Stage)
Soul: Abnormal state, sealed...
Magical weapon: Nine Heavens Mysterious Tower, Seven Cultivation Sword
Equipment: Six-Yang Qingling Demon-Repelling Armor, Demon Spear
Treasure of Luck: Jiuzhou Ding
Secret Techniques: "Soul Cultivation Record", Tianyan Technique
Skills: "Shenxiao Zhenfa", "Bajiu Xuan Gong" (Volume 1), "Shattering Star Sword Technique"
Remaining experience points: 3.5 million points
The biggest change, naturally, is that his soul has been unsealed to the fusion stage. He now has the capital to fight with cultivators in the fusion stage and will no longer be inferior to others.
As for the unlocking of the "Star Shattering Sword Technique", at the level of Refining Void, the advantage is no longer obvious.
Who among the cultivators in the Void Refinement Stage doesn’t have one or two great techniques?
Another point is...
Qin Mo stretched out his hand and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Tower flew out from his dantian and hung in the air.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of breakthrough, the Jiutian Xuansha Tower was not only fully restored, but also, because it was his natal magic weapon and connected to Qin Mo's blood, its power also increased as Qin Mo broke through.
The power of the Purple Sky Thunder is even greater and has become the greatest reliance of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder Tower.
It is also Qin Mo's greatest reliance.
To be honest, I always felt a little uncomfortable in the past one or two years without the protection of the Jiu Tian Xuan Sha Pagoda.
The retreat was over and Qin Mo walked out of the windless cave.
On the blue stone in front of the cave, Lu Xueqi replaced Diao Chan and sat cross-legged to protect Qin Mo.
As if sensing something, Lu Xueqi opened her eyes and saw Qin Mo. A rare smile appeared on her cold face. Although it was fleeting, it was enough to amaze the world.
"Master, have you made a breakthrough?" Lu Xueqi asked.
"Um."
Qin Mo smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."
A hint of joy flashed across Lu Xueqi's eyes, then dimmed again.
Qin Mo saw it, but guessed Lu Xueqi's thoughts, and said calmly: "Breakthrough to the Spiritual Transformation stage requires a chance, so don't rush it. When the opportunity comes, it will naturally fall into place."
"Thank you for your teachings, Master."
Having her thoughts seen through, Lu Xueqi showed a hint of embarrassment.
She was a very strong-willed person, and coupled with Qin Mo's previous expectations, she was inevitably a little anxious as she had not been able to break through to the Spirit Transformation stage.
But the more anxious you are, the more unstable your state of mind will become, and naturally it will be more difficult to make a breakthrough.
One is not good,
You may even become obsessed.
On this matter, Qin Mo could only give a few pointers and could not teach anything more. Therefore, to break through to the God Transformation stage, it all depends on the cultivator's personal understanding.
Other people's insights can only be used as a reference and cannot be verified by each other.
It might even have a counterproductive effect.
In his previous life, Qin Mo was stuck in the Nascent Soul stage for more than fifty years. When his life was almost over, he suddenly gained enlightenment and made a breakthrough after a narrow escape.
Where else can I teach others?
"Has anything big happened ?" Qin Mo asked casually.
But he didn't want to put pressure on Lu Xueqi.
"It's nothing serious. My junior brother Zhang Liang only reported that in the past six months, the number of ferocious beasts in the surrounding area has suddenly increased. Especially near Mount Zhongnan, there are more and more monsters." Lu Xueqi said.
"Zhongnan Mountain?"
Qin Mo subconsciously looked towards the south. Even with his current level of cultivation, he was not sure if he could explore the Zhongnan Mountain. It seemed to be covered with a thick fog.
From afar, evil spirit rose into the sky.
Even more terrifying is that
A thick layer of evil clouds seemed to have formed over the entire Qinling Mountains, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.
"Could it be that a great demon has awakened?" Qin Mo could only guess this.
I hope nothing will happen.
"Master, are you going back to the Warring States Subcontinent?" Lu Xueqi asked.
Now, apart from the Taoist boy, Lu Xueqi is the only one left in the Black and White Mountain Villa. She didn't feel anything about it before, but after her fellow disciples left, she felt it was too deserted.
A little uncomfortable.
Qin Mo said: "I have to go to Emei first."
But I sighed in my heart.
Lu Xueqi seldom displays such a girlish attitude. Her abnormal behavior today was actually a warning, proving that her inner demons had begun to gradually invade her mind.
This is not a good sign.
Qin Mo was thinking that after returning from Emei, it would be necessary to stay in the villa for a while to help Lu Xueqi get rid of her inner demons before he could return to the Warring States subcontinent with peace of mind.
otherwise,
If he wasn't here, who knows what would happen.
"Emei?"
Lu Xueqi was puzzled, as she had a very deep impression of the Emei Sect.
Qin Mo explained, "I have detained the soul of Miaoyi Zhenren, the former head of Emei. Originally, we had a five-year agreement. Now that I have broken through to the realm of refining emptiness, I am no longer afraid of Emei's threats. Naturally, the five-year agreement has been cancelled."
There is no need to keep Miaoyi Zhenren's spirit any longer.
Just do evil.
Lu Xueqi nodded to show her understanding.
"Then I'll go first."
As Qin Mo spoke, he summoned the Tianxiao Sword, his body and sword became one, and he turned into light and disappeared.
People who practice cultivation don't need so many courtesies and farewells, especially Qin Mo, who acts decisively and leaves immediately after giving instructions.
He wanted to find out what had happened in Qinling Mountains.
…
In less than half a day, Qin Mo arrived above the Qinling Mountains.
The closer we got, the more shocked we were.
But in the mountains below, demonic energy was rolling and spreading among the mountains. Because it was so dense, it even formed colorful demonic clouds.
It's so dazzling.
If you listen carefully, you can faintly hear the real roar of beasts coming from among the mountains.
They all seemed very excited.
It seemed as if overnight, the originally quiet Qinling Mountains suddenly woke up and became extremely lively.
"Could it be that some big demon has really awakened?" Qin Mo frowned.
Subconsciously, I wanted to lower the sword light a little.
At this moment, a black light shot up into the sky and headed straight for Qin Mo.
"not good!"
Qin Mo was horrified. Sensing danger, his hair stood on end. Without any hesitation, his spirit surged and he flew away at high speed on his sword.
Even so, it was still touched by the black light.
Fortunately, Qin Mo was decisive enough and escaped in time. His body turned into sword light and flew out of the Qinling Mountains in an instant. The black light did not chase him.
The owner of the black light seemed to just strike it casually, like shooing away a fly.
“Wow~~~”
In mid-air, Qin Mo stopped the sword light, revealed his figure, spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale.
Qin Mo's face was gloomy, and he looked in the direction of Qin Ling with fear in his eyes. He was injured like this with just a casual attack, and it was just a scratch.
At least he is a great demon in the Mahayana stage.
even……
Qin Mo didn't dare to think further. He stayed away from the Qinling Mountains and found a secluded place to heal his wounds.
He was also unlucky.
In order to escape Shang Jun 's trap, he had just recovered from the injuries, but now he had to deal with new problems.
"After returning, it's time to refine some special healing pills." Qin Mo was secretly alert in his heart, but he was used to crushing his opponents, and his sense of crisis was somewhat weakened.
Little do people know that the vast continent has only revealed the tip of the iceberg.
Not to mention being able to defeat him, just like the owner of the black light just now, if you really want to be serious, killing Qin Mo is probably no different from crushing an ant.
The gap in strength is too big.
It was a full month later that Qin Mo flew to Emei again.
