Volume 2: Secret Realm Reincarnation Chapter 144 The Spirit Infant Realm appears!
The place where the crowd appeared was not in the sea of thunder, but on a mountaintop platform some distance away from the sea of thunder.
After appearing here, everyone felt something and suddenly looked back. There was no whirlpool behind them!
This means that after entering the second level of the secret realm, they can no longer return to the first level!
This secret realm leaves them no way to retreat. Once they enter the next level, there is no turning back. It is for this reason that those who stay on the first level have never seen those who entered the second level return.
It is precisely because of this that they, who are already afraid of the dangers of the secret realm, dare not step into the vortex of the second level.
It was for this reason that the Five Elements Venerable did not return to the first level to obtain the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Body behind the thunder pool in the cave.
According to the records of the ancestors of the Spiritual Continent, it was described like this: No one knows whether there is a passage back to the upper level of the secret realm. In any case, no one has ever found a way to return to the upper level.
What made the people who appeared here even more frightened was that countless people were constantly breaking into the sea of thunder, ignoring the erosion of the power of thunder and lightning, and excitedly hunting spirit beasts in the sea of thunder!
Li Xuanfeng had never seen this kind of spiritual beast before, but it was recorded in the jade slips collected by the Five Elements Venerable. It was called the Thunder-Swallowing Beast!
The Thunder-Swallowing Beast is snow-white all over, shaped like a sheep, but has a single horn on its head. It was born in the sea of thunder, and survives by swallowing thunder and lightning, and has excellent control over them.
A kind of crystal will be born in the body of this beast, which is like a spirit core. This crystal contains only a small amount of lightning power, but it contains extremely rich spiritual power. It can quickly increase the spiritual power of the cultivator, and is a great tonic for improving cultivation!
In an instant, Li Xuanfeng understood the reason why countless people here were madly hunting this spiritual beast.
"This is a thunder-swallowing beast. A spirit crystal is produced in its body. The spiritual power contained in the spirit crystal far exceeds that of spirit stones. It is an excellent thing for improving cultivation, so they are all madly hunting this spirit beast." Senior Brother Zheng Cheng reminded everyone that this beast was mentioned prominently in the jade slips recorded by the ancestors of Xuanling Sect.
"However, this beast is extremely fast and can control the power of lightning. It is quite dangerous. Everyone must be careful and cautious. Do not go deep into the sea of lightning in order to swallow the spirit crystal of the thunder beast!"
After hearing Zheng Cheng's words, almost all of the hundreds of people from Xuanling Sect looked at the Thunder-Swallowing Beast with greed in their eyes.
As a cultivator, cultivation is the most important foundation. Only with strong cultivation can one have the power to protect oneself, become a strong man, and even stand at the top of the world.
No one will dislike a high level of cultivation, they will only dislike a low level of cultivation.
At this moment, a powerful wave in the sea of thunder attracted everyone's attention, and even made many people who were hunting thunder beasts in the sea of thunder change their faces. They immediately withdrew from the sea of thunder and watched the scene inside from a distance outside the sea of thunder!
Faintly, one could see a thunder-swallowing beast that was dozens of feet in size. It was filled with an extremely violent aura, and the huge horn on its head emitted dazzling electric light. A bolt of lightning as thick as a baby's arm instantly shot out from the horn and hit the space in front of it!
What shocked everyone was the aura of cultivation emanating from this Thunder-Swallowing Beast. They felt that it had surpassed the perfection of the Spirit Pill Realm!
That was the aura of a Half-Step Spirit Infant Realm. The reason why it became a Half-Step Spirit Infant Realm was that his cultivation was interrupted halfway through the Spirit Infant Realm, and he stayed in the realm of transcending the Spirit Pill Realm, but had not yet entered the Spirit Infant Realm!
Although he has not yet entered the Spirit Infant Realm and is only half a step away, he has already surpassed the Spirit Pill Realm Great Perfection by far and is simply not something that an ordinary Spirit Pill Realm Great Perfection cultivator can resist!
Just as the lightning of the Thunder Beast was falling, everyone noticed that in front of this huge Thunder Beast, there was a red figure, a young man!
This person is not from the Spiritual Continent, but from the other two continents who came from outside the Spiritual Continent!
The young man exuded the aura of perfection in the Spiritual Pill Realm. Everyone was extremely surprised that he dared to challenge the Thunder Devouring Beast in the Half-Step Spirit Infant Realm with his cultivation level of perfection in the Spiritual Pill Realm!
You know, the combat power of the Thunder-Swallowing Beast is extremely strong. Not only is its speed far beyond that of its peers, it also has the talent to control the power of thunder and lightning. It is simply a genius-level race among spiritual beasts!
As everyone was shocked, the young man in red threw out a piece of metal, which instantly turned into a light shield outside his body. The lightning of the Soul-Devouring Beast instantly fell on the light shield!
Everyone was extremely surprised to find that this light shield could actually block most of the lightning power, leaving only a small part of the lightning power passing through the light shield and falling on the young man in red, but it was resisted by the spiritual power protection layer and did not cause any harm to him!
This young man in red was one of the thirteen people walking in the front on the first level. His cultivation had been stuck at the Lingdan realm for many years, and he even suppressed his cultivation many times before he broke through to the Lingying realm!
After resisting the lightning of the thunder-devouring beast, the young man in red's eyes flashed, and he took out a crimson sword, muttering something in his mouth, chanting a spell to activate the red sword!
The red sword suddenly flashed with a strange red light, exuding a ferocious aura. It disappeared directly from the hand of the young man in red and appeared in front of the head of the Thunder Beast at lightning speed!
The pupils in the Thunder Beast's tiger eyes shrank violently. It sensed the breath of life and death crisis, but the speed of the red sword was too fast. It could only hurriedly shoot out another beam of lightning, which landed on the red sword!
If the Thunder Beast escapes directly at this time, its speed will not be as fast as the red sword, and it will soon be caught up by the red sword. The best way is to attack directly!
However, the powerful lightning beam only slowed down the red sword for a moment, without causing any damage to the sword at all!
The red sword struck by lightning paused for just a moment, then left behind countless afterimages and disappeared directly in front of the Thunder Beast's forehead!
A tiny crack suddenly appeared on the forehead of the Thunder-Swallowing Beast, and then, to everyone's shock, the huge body of the Thunder-Swallowing Beast fell to the ground with a bang. Its tiger eyes were still wide open, and it didn't have time to close them before the aura on its body completely disappeared!
At this time, a red sword with a trace of bright red blood rushed out from behind the Thunder Beast. The tip of the sword turned and returned to the hands of the young man in red in the blink of an eye.
The young man in red then stretched out his hand, and a crystal white diamond-shaped crystal flew out of the Thunder Beast's body and was sucked into the young man's hand.
The young man in red then left the place at a rapid speed. The lightning power in this area was quite strong, and he was worried that a stronger thunder-devouring beast would appear!
This person stopped only when he flew to the edge of the sea of thunder and approached where Li Xuanfeng and others were. A woman in white appeared beside him. She was tall, with delicate features, an expressionless face, and a coldness emanating from her whole body. It seemed that nothing could arouse her interest.
"Junior Sister Liu, please help me protect the Dharma!" A hint of affection flashed in the eyes of the young man in red, and he pleaded gently.
The woman in white nodded slightly, and several formation jade slips flew out. In the blink of an eye, ten protective light curtains were set up, covering the two of them!
The young man in red had a look of deep anticipation in his eyes. He crushed the diamond-shaped crystal with one hand, and rich spiritual power instantly spread out from the crystal!
The young man in red closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The spiritual power in the spirit crystal had no time to spread out and continued to penetrate into his body through his seven orifices and pores!
The moment the rich spiritual energy entered his body, there was a slight tremor in his sea of thunder, and his cultivation, which was already very close to the Spirit Infant Realm, began to rise again!
The aura on his body became stronger and stronger, and even the outline of an illusory little man began to condense above his forehead. It seemed that it would not take long before he could break through to the Spirit Infant Realm!
At this moment, three figures came galloping from the sea of thunder and stopped in front of the formation set up by the woman in white. They all exuded the aura of cultivation that surpassed the perfection of the Spirit Pill Realm and was close to the Spirit Infant Realm!
Li Xuanfeng quickly recognized these three people because they were from the Nine Sects of the Spiritual Continent. There were some slightly blurry images of their faces in the jade slip given by Shen Hua.
There was a solemn look in the eyes of the woman in white. The appearance of these three figures at this time was most likely intended to interfere with the breakthrough of the young man in red beside her!
When the three men saw that the woman in white exuded the same cultivation aura as them, and had a powerful formation with ten levels, hesitation flashed in their eyes .
They really wanted to stop the young man in red from breaking through, but the woman in white had a strong cultivation base, and what was even more powerful was her talent in formation. She actually set up ten layers of formation in an instant. If they didn't break the formation before the young man in red broke through, they would probably bring disaster upon themselves!
The three of them looked at each other and saw deep worry in each other's eyes.
They came to stop the young man in red from breaking through because they didn't want to see anyone break through before them. That would cause them to fall from the throne of the highest level of cultivation, and put them completely on the passive side, unable to control their own life and death.
In the two breaths when the three of them hesitated, the aura of the young man in red became stronger and stronger, and even began to surpass the Thunder-Swallowing Beast that was at the Half-Step Spirit Infant Realm!
The three of them were shocked, exchanged glances, used their spiritual consciousness to communicate for a while, and finally clasped their fists and bowed together: "Congratulations to fellow Daoist for breaking through the Spirit Infant Realm!"
The three of them have already sensed the aura of the red-clothed young man about to break through successfully, and they are afraid that it will only take about half an incense stick of time. They dare not interfere at all, because they do not have the confidence that they can break the ten-layer formation set up by the white-clothed woman within half an incense stick of time!
If they choose to take action now, the young man in red will surely hunt down the three of them after he successfully breaks through. Even if they join forces to resist him, they probably won't be a match for the Spirit Infant Realm!
After the three of them clasped their fists and bowed, they did not stay here anymore. Instead, they turned around and flew into the sea of thunder, speeding towards the depths.
It seemed that he was going to continue hunting the Thunder Beast, but in fact he was trying to stay away from this place to avoid the anger of the young man in red after his breakthrough.
Although they have not taken any action, those who have cultivated to this level are not fools. How could they not know what their plan is for appearing here!
"Xuanfeng, you should learn this combined attack formation!" Zheng Cheng threw a jade slip to Li Xuanfeng. It was a set of combined attack formation that the other people from Xuanling Sect had already practiced while they were waiting in the center of the first floor.
Not only that, Zheng Cheng also led everyone away from here and flew a long distance.
Zheng Cheng was worried that after the young man in red broke through the Spirit Infant Realm, he would plunder the resources of others because he would be the most powerful person in the secret realm. With this set of combined attack formations, they could at least have a little self-protection power when working together.
But if everyone were to scatter, they would not be able to withstand the impact of the Spirit Infant Realm, and most of them would probably be killed or injured in an instant!
After the three people left, the aura of the young man in red became stronger and stronger, even causing the sea of thunder to shake. The thunder-devouring beast at the edge of the sea of thunder was suppressed and trembled!
Half an incense stick of time later, a little man with a face exactly like the young man in red appeared clearly above his head!
As the little man's eyes opened, revealing pupils containing countless brilliant lights, an aura far beyond the spiritual elixir realm suddenly filled the area thousands of feet above the ground!
"Spiritual Infant Realm!"
Someone blurted out in great shock, and everyone felt complicated. Among those who entered the secret realm, a Spirit Infant Realm appeared in such a short time. The situation in the secret realm was about to change completely.
Then the little man above the red-clothed young man's forehead descended from his head and entered his body, disappearing from everyone's sight. The red-clothed young man opened his eyes, filled with excitement.
He had been waiting in the Lingdan Realm for too long. If it had not been for entering the Yuehai Secret Realm, he would have been able to break through to the Lingying Realm ten years ago.
The woman in white heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that he had woken up, and put away the formation she had set up.
If the young man in red had not broken through so quickly, the three people who were eyeing him covetously would have certainly taken action. She wouldn't know if her formation could stop them, and she might even die!
"Junior Sister Liu, no one dares to offend us, right?" asked the young man in red. Because he trusted the woman in white so much, his whole mind was immersed in breaking through the Spirit Infant Realm and he did not sense the situation in the outside world.
"It was just three , but you scared them away before they could make a move." The woman in white replied calmly.
"Who are these three people? They actually want to stop me from breaking through. I will cut them into pieces!" The young man in red said angrily, scanning all the people nearby.
Having broken through to the Spirit Infant Realm, he had the highest cultivation level and the strongest combat power. He was extremely confident at this point and did not take the people in the same realm seriously at all.
When the people nearby saw him looking at them, they all took a few steps back, fearing that he would take his anger out on them for no reason!
"I've been on the run for a long time. Let's talk about it when we meet. What are your plans next?" The woman in white rolled her eyes at him and asked softly.
"Let's launch a large-scale sweep and kill all the others who are about to break through to the Spirit Infant Realm. We will also hunt down the Thunder-Swallowing Beasts and seize the spirit crystals so that your cultivation can also break through to the Spirit Infant Realm and enter the third level together!" The words of the red-clothed young man made the cold-tempered woman in white couldn't help but take a breath.
But she did not object. Although the idea was a bit cruel, it was the most correct choice in order to gain more resources and luck!
The two of them didn't pay any attention to Li Xuanfeng and others who were not too far away. They immediately flew out and began to search for other people whose cultivation was close to the Spirit Infant Realm.
This matter cannot be delayed. There are innumerable thunder-swallowing beasts in the second layer. Countless people are trying their best to hunt them down and seize the spirit crystals. I am afraid that someone will soon break through to the Spirit Infant Realm!
As the two men disappeared in the blink of an eye, the place finally returned to peace. The many frightened monks couldn't help but feel lucky that this man did not target them.
Not long after the young man in red broke through, from another direction of the sea of thunder, the aura of another person rose up to the sky and soon broke through to the Spirit Infant Realm!
After the breakthrough, she shared the same idea as the young man in red and began to search for other people who were about to break through the Spirit Infant Realm!
This is a purge of the thirteen people standing at the top. If their cultivation level breaks through, they can move to a higher level. If their cultivation level lags behind others, they may be killed!
However, this matter has no bearing on Li Xuanfeng and the others for the time being.
After resting for a while, Li Xuanfeng and others also joined the ranks of hunting the Thunder Beast. As they absorbed the spiritual crystals, everyone felt the pleasure of rapidly increasing their cultivation.
It is precisely this kind of pleasure that makes countless people who enter the second level rush into the sea of thunder and fight the thunder-devouring beast regardless of danger!
The lightning in the sea of thunder continues to grow stronger from the edge to the center. The power at the edge is only that of the middle stage of the spiritual foundation, and no one knows how powerful the center is!
Because no one can enter the center of the sea of thunder!
Just by going deep into the sea of thunder thousands of miles away, the power of thunder and lightning has already become violent enough to reach the Spirit Infant Realm!
It was impossible to sense how far away the center of the sea of thunder was. After a distance of 100,000 miles, even if one released spiritual consciousness, the power of thunder and lightning would instantly destroy everything, making it impossible to sense what was happening in the center of the sea of thunder.
In the sea of thunder, violent lightning will continue to fall, so people who enter the sea of thunder need to keep their protection on.
This is a big problem for people entering the sea of thunder. They need to keep their protection on, which will constantly consume their spiritual power and affect their combat effectiveness.
Li Xuanfeng had carefully observed this sea of thunder. Above the sea of thunder was an endless array of black thunderclouds. Lightning and thunder kept falling from the thunderclouds, as if they were endless.
And there is not only the power of thunder and lightning in the sea of thunder, there are also countless huge mountains. Although the surface of the mountains has been eroded by the power of thunder and lightning, they still stand firmly on the ground.
It seems that this sea of thunder was originally an ordinary mountain range. Later, thunderclouds appeared in the sky, turning this place completely into a sea of thunder!
Countless thunder-swallowing beasts were traveling through the sea of thunder, absorbing the power of thunder and lightning. Although many of them were killed by the monks who entered the secret realm, compared with the number of thunder-swallowing beasts here, they were not worth mentioning at all!
This sea of thunder seemed to be a nest that could continuously breed thunder-swallowing beasts. Countless of them were killed by cultivators who entered the secret realm every day, and countless new ones were born every day.
"Next, we will divide into groups and enter the Thunder Sea to hunt down Thunder Devouring Beasts and seize Spirit Crystals to improve our cultivation. Everyone must be careful and protect each other. If there is any danger, call for help immediately."
Following Zheng Cheng's suggestion, hundreds of people from the Xuanling Sect began to disperse according to their different levels of cultivation, and formed groups of several to carefully hunt the Thunder-Swallowing Beasts in various areas of the Thunder Sea.
The higher the cultivation level of the group, the deeper they can enter the sea of thunder. Li Xuanfeng was assigned to lead a team to hunt down the perfect thunder-swallowing beasts in the spiritual foundation realm.
What gave Li Xuanfeng a headache was that his senior sister Shen Luoyan was following him with a smile on her face.
