Volume 2: World of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio Chapter 26 Crazy Breakthrough
Tens of thousands of demons at the god-transformation level rushed towards Jiale, and their momentum was like an endless wave that was about to drown Jiale.
Even though his realm was much lower than Jiale's, his momentum was magnificent at this moment. If seen by other people, Jiale would probably be devoured by these demons.
Unfortunately, Jiale is not an ordinary person, he has a big treasure.
When tens of thousands of demons were approaching Jiale, a lotus blossomed from between Jiale's eyebrows. The lotus blossomed into the seventh grade, emitting endless dim light that enveloped the tens of thousands of demons.
boom!
Under the cover of this dim light, demons were actually crushed alive and turned into pure energy that was absorbed by the Nine Nether Divine Lotus. Obviously, these demons were nothing compared to the magic dragons and giant trees controlled by the Nine Nether Divine Lotus. They were all absorbed in an instant.
As the Nine Nether Divine Lotus moved, the Kunlun Mirror began to be dotted with starlight. Energy beads rose up one by one, lighting up the entire Kunlun Mirror.
roar!
The demons are cruel, but they are not without intelligence. They know fear and are even more afraid of death. The reason they are so arrogant is that they have targeted the human cultivators and dare not kill them.
But today's situation seems to be different from the past. Such a freak has appeared. The demons have been wreaking havoc on this world for a long time, and this is the first time they have encountered a monster that can destroy them along with their demon bodies and thoughts.
With a loud roar, the demons, who usually wanted to break through the seal and leave the restraints of the Demon Subduing Palace, now competed to flee, wishing they were sealed in several more layers so that they would never be able to come out again.
Unfortunately, it was all too late. Once the food entered Jiale's bowl, it would never slip under his nose again.
The Qimen Bagua was opened, and Jiale's soul attached itself to the Nine Nether Divine Lotus. For a moment, it seemed as if the Nine Nether Divine Lotus had been transformed into an incarnation.
Under Jia Le's control, the Nine Nether Divine Lotus floated above the first level of the Demon Subduing Palace, covering the entire palace with dim light. The seal on the first level was not a refuge for these demons. Under Jia Le's actions, it became a means for Jia Le to suppress the demons.
boom!
The demons were crushed by the dim light one by one. Soon, tens of thousands of energy beads of the Divine Transformation Realm were hung in the Kunlun Mirror. The first floor of the Demon Subduing Hall, which originally seemed a bit crowded, now looked empty.
After tens of thousands of demons were killed, Jiale could clearly feel that the concentration of spiritual energy on Yin Yang Peak had increased by more than 10%.
Jia Le thought to himself, "As expected." After he entered Yin Yang Peak, he felt a little strange. Although the concentration of spiritual energy in Yin Yang Peak was not low, it was far inferior to that of Maoshan Main Hall.
After entering the Demon-Suppressing Hall, I discovered that these seals were actually absorbing the spiritual energy of Yin Yang Peak all the time. I'm afraid that one of the reasons why Maoshan sealed these thirty-six meridians might be that most of the spiritual energy of the thirty-six meridians was needed to supply the seals, making them unsuitable for reopening.
Looking at the tens of thousands of energy beads in the Kunlun Mirror, Jiale was also somewhat delighted. Although they were only energy beads at the Incarnation level, perhaps a thousand of them could be equivalent to one Yin God level energy bead. But even with this conversion, these were dozens of Yin God level energy beads, which was already a lot.
The most important thing is, this is only the first floor of the Nine-story Magic Tower.
Without any hesitation, Jiale struck while the iron was hot and headed towards the second floor. Today he had to accumulate enough energy to break through to the Return to Void Realm.
The situation on the second floor is similar to that on the first floor, except that the number of demons is smaller, their strength is stronger, and the seal is more advanced.
Two thousand Yin God-level demons, this number is similar to Jia Le's estimation. The first level is the Huashen-level demons, the second level is the Yin God-level demons, and the third level is probably the Yang God-level demons.
Without hesitation, Jia Le used the same trick again. Tens of thousands of demons at the level of God Transformation were nothing more than a snack for the Nine Nether Divine Lotus. Although the magic dragons and giant trees were good, they were difficult to digest. In comparison, these ready-made demons with weaker strength were more in line with the appetite of the Nine Nether Divine Lotus.
One bite at a time.
The endless dark light was like a bloody mouth, opening and closing to swallow up the Yin God-level demons one by one.
The strength of the sixth-grade Nine Netherworld Divine Lotus is equivalent to that of the Void Refinement Realm.
According to the feedback from the Nine Nether Divine Lotus, this is the first time the Nine Nether Divine Lotus has bloomed. The lotus blooms to the sixth level of Lianxu, the seventh level of Hedao, and the eighth level and above is the realm of True Immortal.
However, the further you go, the greater the energy required for flowering. This is why Jiale was so happy when he found out that there were so many demons in this world that were tied up and placed in the warehouse waiting to be used.
The magical power that Jia Le displayed at this time was the fetal transformation, which could refine a second clone.
The higher the quality of the second clone, the better. The Nine Nether Divine Lotus is the most suitable thing for Jia Le to refine the second clone. Originally, Jia Le planned to start refining it after he broke through the Soul Realm and was able to separate his Soul. However, after seeing that the Nine Nether Divine Lotus could potentially be upgraded quickly, he gave up the idea.
Although the second clone is good, he is not in a hurry. He will wait until the Nine Nether Divine Lotus blooms more flowers before trying to refine it again.
As the absolute nemesis of the demons, anyone with strength lower than the Nine Nether Divine Lotus has almost no power to resist under the dim light of the Nine Nether Divine Lotus. What's more, these demons have not been sealed by the Demon Subduing Palace, so they have no room for resistance, no matter how huge their numbers are.
Jia Le got two thousand Yin Shen-level energy beads again. He went up to the third floor without stopping.
There are fewer Yang God-level demons, only about five hundred. Under the dim light of the Nine Nether Divine Lotus, they still have no power to resist. Then there are the hundreds of Yuan God-level demons on the fourth layer.
Looking at the countless energy beads in the Kunlun Mirror, Jiale's heart was filled with smiles. This was enough to break through to the Return to Void Realm.
His spirit entered the Kunlun Mirror, and he sat cross-legged in front of the jade stele engraved with the Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing. Of the thirty-nine chapters of the sutra, Jiale had only comprehended two chapters so far, and had not yet comprehended the method of cultivation after the Return to Void Realm. Now that he was about to break through to the Return to Void Realm, he had to comprehend the Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing a little more before that.
The Kunlun Mirror has a great blessing effect on Jiale's enlightenment. If it is blessed with energy, this blessing effect will be infinitely magnified. The more it is consumed, the more obvious the blessing effect will be.
Jiale sacrificed the tens of thousands of energy beads at the God Transformation level without any regret. Various insights came to his mind. The third chapter of the Thirty-Nine Chapter Sutra was originally obscure and difficult for Jiale to understand, but now he could comprehend it again, he had a lot of insights. Gradually, Jiale fell into comprehension, and the third chapter slowly appeared in Jiale's sea of consciousness.
On Tongtian Peak of Maoshan Mountain.
Taoist Zhenliang gathered a group of Maoshan high-level officials and looked at the changes in Yinyang Peak with some doubts and confusion.
Even if Jia Le activated the protective formation of Yin Yang Peak, these cultivators who were at the Lianxu Hedao realm could still see at a glance that the spiritual energy in Yin Yang Peak was actually constantly increasing.
How is this possible?
You must know that the most demons are sealed in Yin Yang Peak, and the most spiritual energy is required. Eighty percent of the spiritual energy produced by the underground spiritual veins of Yin Yang Peak is used to supply the Demon Subduing Hall. In order to prevent Yin Yang Peak from dividing the spiritual energy of other peaks, they also deliberately took action to isolate Yin Yang Peak from other places in Maoshan.
Of course, it is not just the Yin Yang Peak, but also the other thirty-five peaks. It is understandable to do so. After all, there are no disciples in the Thirty-Six Veins, so no matter how much spiritual energy there is, it will be useless. If the spiritual energy from other places in Maoshan is distributed there, the overall spiritual energy level of Maoshan will inevitably drop a lot.
By then, the entire Maoshan practice will be affected, and it will be even more difficult to recover as soon as possible.
With Jiale's return and the reopening of the Yin-Yang lineage, Taoist Zhenliang is also gathering a group of senior leaders to see how to increase the concentration of spiritual energy on the Yin-Yang Peak. Whether to open the isolation formation and distribute the spiritual energy from other places, or to migrate a few spiritual veins from other peaks. However, these are not trivial matters and are still being discussed.
But they haven't got any results yet, but Jiale has already given them a big surprise.
The spiritual energy of Yin Yang Peak is increasing. How is this possible? How did Jia Le do it?
If the protective formation of Yin Yang Peak had not been activated, they would have rushed in to ask Jia Le what was going on.
"Mountain Master, could it be that the Yin Yang Vein Master has opened the seal of the Demon Subduing Hall? Otherwise, how could the spiritual energy of Yin Yang Peak increase so much?"
An elder spoke up, and the other high-level officials also felt that it was quite possible. Otherwise, the increase in the concentration of spiritual energy in Yin Yang Peak could not be explained at all. It couldn't be that Jia Le brought a few spiritual veins with him and broke into Yin Yang Peak.
Taoist Zhenliang shook his head, "No, I didn't sense any signs of the demons breaking the seal, or the demonic thoughts escaping."
Taoist Zhenliang's words were naturally beyond doubt. Now these Maoshan high-level officials were even more itchy. It was even more difficult than the previous three months of training with Jiale, because they thought of a possibility, that is, Jiale might have a way to deal with the demons. This was too important. It was not only related to Maoshan's thousand-year plan, but also crucial to the entire cultivation world.
But now that Jiale has activated the peak protection formation, it is obvious that no one is welcome. If they break in now, it would be somewhat inappropriate.
boom!
Just when they felt itchy in their hearts, a strong aura suddenly rose in Yin Yang Peak.
"Is someone breaking through to the Return to Void Realm?"
All the clan leaders and elders exclaimed in surprise.
"Could it be the Yin Yang Meridian Master?"
I don't know who said it, but everyone else nodded immediately. The aura of breakthrough was on Yin Yang Peak, and now there was only Jia Le on Yin Yang Peak. Apart from Jia Le, there was no one else. Who else could it be but Jia Le?
But is it really suitable to enter the Return to Void Realm at this bone age?
Everyone couldn't help but look at Taoist Zhenliang, as if asking him: Where did you find such a freak?
Taoist Zhenliang was also puzzled. Could it be that the ancestor of the Heavenly Palace saw the decline of Maoshan and felt a little disgusted, so he reincarnated and came back to support them? If not, they really couldn't think of any other possibility.
Inside the Demon-Subduing Hall.
Jiale sat on the fourth floor. This place where demons were sealed that everyone avoided had now become a blessed place for Jiale to break through the realm. At this moment, he was actually breaking through to the Return to Void realm in a swaggering manner.
Endless spiritual energy gathered towards Jiale. The Tengu, Angry Chicken, Fire Crow, Xiaohong, Black Horse, Green Pine and Green Bamboo beside him were all practicing together around Jiale.
Every time Jiale breaks through, it is a big leap for his spirit beasts, especially when he breaks through to a higher realm.
Return to the void state means that the primordial spirit returns to the void.
When in the Yuanshen realm, the cultivator's Yuanshen resides in the middle Dantian, which is where the Earth Soul is located. The two souls of heaven and man and the seven spirits are all gathered in the Earth Soul and condensed in the middle Dantian. This is equivalent to the root of the Yuanshen, just like the root of a tree. If the tree leaves the root system, there will be problems.
The same is true for the soul. It is possible for the soul to leave the body, but if it cannot return to the body for a long time, the physical body will be damaged.
In the state of returning to the void, the soul returns to the void. In this state, the soul is no longer bound by the body and can leave the body freely. It is okay not to come back. Even if you lose your physical body, you can still practice as a wandering immortal and achieve the path of wandering cultivation.
Jiale sacrificed tens of thousands of Transformation God Level Energy Beads. Even with such energy blessing, his comprehension speed was still too slow, so he threw in another thousand Yin God Level Energy Beads. Anyway, he had only completed four floors of the Nine-story Magic Tower, and the bulk of the work was still on top. Jiale was not sad. With such a huge amount of energy, Jiale finally comprehended the third chapter of the Shangqing Dadong Sutra. In total, it only took a few days.
Of course it is omnipotent energy.
With the method of cultivation, breaking through the Return to Void Realm is no longer a problem. Energy beads are consumed one by one, transformed into pure energy and enter Jiale's body. He circulates the Shangqing Dadong Sutra and his cultivation begins to rise step by step. The six yangs rise together, and he is close to the perfect Sun God Body, which allows Jiale to break through the Return to Void Realm. There is no bottleneck at all, and he can push forward directly.
With the accumulation of energy, Jiale easily stepped over the threshold of the Return to Void Realm and broke through directly.
While Jia Le was making a breakthrough, a group of spiritual beasts also benefited greatly.
Tiangou was already not far from the late stage of the Demon King realm, and now with the breakthrough of Jiale, he has made a direct breakthrough. You know, the late stage of the Demon King is equivalent to the Return to Void realm of a cultivator. Tiangou has firmly sat on the position of the number one spiritual beast under Jiale, and to this day, Tiangou has long forgotten the 100-year period agreed upon between himself and Jiale.
The current Tengu will not take Jiale away even if Jiale wants to drive it away. It will improve its cultivation by staying with Jiale, eating, drinking and sleeping. Thinking about its previous life as a dog, it would be crazy for it to give up such a comfortable life and go back to that miserable life.
The Angry Chicken and the Seven Fire Crows were originally at the peak of the Demon General realm. Now, under the leadership of Jia Le, they also broke through directly to the Demon King realm.
The evil ghosts Xiaohong and Wuzhuima were originally at the peak of ghost generals, and now they have also broken through to become ghost kings in one step.
Even Qingsong Cuizhu, who had followed Jiale for a short time, had made a further step and reached the middle stage of the demon general realm.
A lot of energy beads are needed to break through the great realm, and the energy beads in the Kunlun Mirror are only at the spirit-refining level. Now, only a few energy beads of the Yuanshen realm are left, which are not enough for Jiale to stabilize his cultivation.
Fifth floor.
Jiale has been treating the Demon-Suppressing Hall as a dungeon, and he will not take anything away until he has gained enough benefits.
The demons on the fifth floor are all at the Return to Void Realm level, and there are more than sixty of them.
Jia Le was also quite excited when he saw this, they were all greenhorns, the more the better. Although he had not yet refined the Nine Nether Divine Lotus into a second clone, it would be no problem for Jia Le to use his magical power of fetal transformation and shape-changing to possess the Nine Nether Divine Lotus and hunt these demons.
It didn't take Jiale a whole day to deal with more than sixty demons at the Return to Void level.
Unfortunately, after harvesting five levels of demons, the seventh-grade lotus of the Nine Nether Divine Lotus still showed no signs of blooming.
There was no rush to go to the sixth floor. Jia Le directly prepared to use the more than sixty Return to Void level energy beads on the fifth floor.
The energy beads of the Return to Void level are not comparable to the energy beads of the Refining Spirit level. The tremendous energy gathered in Jiale's body, instantly stabilizing Jiale's realm that had just been broken through to the Return to Void realm.
At this time, there were exactly sixty Return to Void Realm energy beads left.
After consuming twenty pills, Jiale had already broken through to the middle stage of Return to Void Realm. The remaining forty pills were all consumed, which directly pushed Jiale's cultivation to the late stage of Return to Void Realm.
If you calculate carefully, it has only been two months since Jiale entered the Demon-Suppressing Hall, and it has only been half a year since Jiale broke through to the Soul Realm. In just such a short period of six months, Jiale broke through directly from the Soul Realm to the peak of the Return to Void Realm. Looking at this progress, even Jiale couldn't help but praise himself, saying that he was truly a genius.
Look towards the sixth floor.
Such opportunities to obtain energy beads are rare, and Jia Le is not going to stop. With the current sixth-grade level of the Nine Nether Divine Lotus, it is not a problem to deal with the demons at the Refinement Void level. Moreover, there are only more than sixty demons at the fifth level of the Return to Void Realm. It is estimated that there will be even fewer demons at the sixth level of the Refinement Void level, and there may not even be ten of them.
Whether it is a cultivator or a demon, it is extremely difficult to go from refining the spirit to returning to the void and then to returning to the void and merging with the Tao.
Just like cultivators call the realm of refining the spirit and returning to the void earthly immortals, and the realm of returning to the void and merging with the Tao celestial immortals, and in fact this is true, the two realms are indeed as different as heaven and earth.
Needless to say, it is very difficult to ascend to heaven.
In Maoshan today, there are probably only dozens of cultivators at the Lianxu Hedao realm, and eighty to ninety percent of them are still at the Lianxu realm.
Although the demons
There are six, seven, eight and nine floors, and there are still four floors to go. If there are more than twenty or thirty demons at the Lianxu Hedao level, Maoshan will probably suffer more than just this much casualties.
Sure enough, after Jiale arrived at the sixth floor, there were not many virtual-refinement-level demons he saw, only nine.
And judging from his aura, it should be equivalent to the level of just entering the Refinement Realm, before going through the tribulation. When he reaches the Return to the Void and Merge with the Dao realm, even if it is only a small realm, there is a huge gap.
A cultivator in the Lianxu realm must go through nine kinds of thunder tribulations, using them to cleanse his mortal body and transform it into an immortal body in preparation for ascending to heaven.
There are only two types of cultivators in the Void Refinement Realm today: one is those who have passed the tribulation, and the other is those who have not.
Those who have not yet undergone the tribulation are still mortals. Although they are much stronger than those who have reached the Return to Void Realm, they are still far inferior to those who have already begun to undergo the tribulation.
At this time, the cultivators in the Void Refinement Realm focus on accumulation. When they feel they can withstand the nine-nine thunder tribulations, they can officially cross the tribulation.
However, this kind of thunder tribulation can be stopped. If you feel that you cannot survive it, then you should quickly gather your breath and the thunder tribulation will naturally dissipate. Because the nine nine thunder tribulations are ultimately not for punishment, but for creation. They are to help cultivators transform from mortal bodies to immortal bodies. Unlike those evil demons, who are punished by thunder tribulations, the thunder tribulation will not stop until they are killed.
Of course, the monk himself said "stop", which is a bit vulgar.
In the eyes of the laymen, the practice of cultivators is to steal the yin and yang of heaven and earth, intercept the mysteries of the destiny of all things, and do things that go against heaven. This is not tolerated by heaven and earth, so all kinds of calamities will befall them. If they can survive it, all cause and effect will disappear; if they cannot survive it, they will die and their souls will disappear.
However, the way of heaven is fair. Even after going through tribulations, there is always a glimmer of hope. The so-called stop by the cultivators is actually just a glimmer of hope left by the way of heaven. Before the first cultivator discovered that he could disperse the tribulation thunder by restraining his breath, those cultivators were all struck to death. It can only be said that those who have gone through hardships have their own luck.
Of course, even now, the tribulation is no longer a secret. If one is stubborn and refuses to gather one's breath and insists on going through the tribulation even though one clearly cannot go through it, then he will definitely die.
It is also because of this characteristic that the cultivators in the realm of refining emptiness have the saying of one tribulation in refining emptiness, two tribulations in refining emptiness... and nine tribulations in refining emptiness.
Of course, the thunder tribulation is not something you can create at home and you can't just go through it whenever you want. If you fail to go through it the first time, the power of the thunder tribulation you summon the second time will be ten times that of the first time. In the world of cultivation, the number of people who failed to go through it the first time but succeeded the second time can be counted by the top leaders.
However, it is useless to try to restrain the breath during the second tribulation, because at this time the cultivator already has immortal energy and cannot restrain his breath even if he wants to.
Therefore, cultivators will never be able to pass the tribulation without a solid accumulation. If they fail to pass the tribulation, they will generally stagnate in the Void Refinement Realm and will not pass the tribulation a second time. This will become the foundation of the immortal sect. This is the case with many Void Refinement Realm cultivators in Maoshan today.
After devouring so many demons, although the Nine Nether Divine Lotus is still at the sixth level, it is much stronger than the ordinary sixth level. Jia Le estimated that it should be at the level of the sixth tribulation of refining emptiness. Therefore, facing these nine demons that are just equivalent to entering the realm of refining emptiness, Jia Le is still very confident.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Although the magic methods of the demons at the Lianxu level are more varied and more powerful, Jiale covered the Nine Nether Divine Lotus above his head and cast a series of dark lights. These demons did not dare to get close at all. Jiale even controlled the dark light to attack the nine demons.
Although they were not as easy to deal with as the previous demons, it still took some effort to capture them all.
Jiale felt the tremendous energy in the energy bead of the Lianxu level and started to absorb and practice without hesitation.
Just one energy bead of the Refinement Void level was enough to push Jia Le's cultivation to the peak of the Return to Void realm. Two of them brought Jia Le to the brink of breaking through the Refinement Void realm.
Jiale directly sacrificed four of the remaining seven energy beads of the Lianxu level to comprehend the fourth chapter of the Shangqing Dadong Sutra.
There are three more floors above, and there are also many demons in the Demon-Suppressing Halls of the other thirty-five veins. There are plenty of energy beads. The most important thing at this time is to improve the cultivation as soon as possible. Compared with energy beads, time is more important. Jia Le also wants to improve his cultivation as soon as possible to see if there is any way to accommodate Uncle Jiu and the others.
The speed of time flow in Uncle Jiu's world is ten times that of the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.
It has been nearly two years since Jiale came to the world of Liao Zhai, and twenty years in Uncle Jiu's world. If he doesn't speed time Jiale reaches the Hedao realm, Uncle Jiu and the others would probably be gone too.
What's more, Jiale has killed the tree demon grandma. His next target is Cihang Pudu and the Black Mountain Old Demon. These are all big demons at the level of Return to the Void and Harmony with the Dao. If he doesn't improve his strength as soon as possible, he will only be abused.
Four energy beads of the refining void level were broken, and three days later, the fourth chapter of the Shangqing Dadong Sutra was completed!
