#1576 - Five Elements Ghost Path Ascending Meridian Array

'It is truly a peerless sword.'

'And after careful calculation, in the entire Cangxuan Realm, it is estimated that only the life-saving flying sword of the Zhengyuan Taoist master Zhengyuan in the Zhengdao League who is in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm can be compared with it.'

'Although Brother Pengxing's cultivation is weaker than his, still in the early stage of transformation, his attainments in swordsmanship are extraordinary after all. It is said that he has comprehended the swordsmanship to the peak of the fifth-order lower grade, and can barely use this method to exert the full power of the Ghost Fairy Flying Sword.'

'Indirectly, the strength of Brother Pengxing can probably reach the top level of the early stage of the transformation of the spirit steadily, and can even fight with the middle stage of the transformation of the spirit. He is not weaker than the old-fashioned early stage of the transformation of the spirit, such as the Supreme Buddha and the old Taoist Platinum.'

"In this way, if a crisis occurs, Brother Pengxing alone can probably provide me with a lot of help."

Seeing this, Ling Pengyun's eyes lit up slightly and he sighed secretly.

There are many sword cultivators in this world, and even the strongest man in this world, Patriarch Xinghai, is also a sword cultivator. However, Patriarch Xinghai is good at many ways, and sword cultivation is just one of them. He cannot take care of too many things, and his natal flying sword is still at the lower fifth level.

In terms of the strength of the flying sword alone, his innate flying sword cannot compare with the current ghost fairy flying sword.

But the Taoist master Zhengyuan is different. He specializes in swordsmanship. Even the Zhengdao League is a force mainly based on swordsmanship. The flying sword Zhengyuan that guards the league has been highly valued by all the gods of the Zhengdao League.

As they continued to nurture and temper it, the flying sword finally reached the fifth-level mid-grade several hundred years ago.

After many years, the flying sword has reached the middle level of the same grade. Strictly speaking, it is even stronger than the Ghost Immortal Flying Sword.

But even so, it is a happy thing to be able to obtain a treasure like the Ghost Immortal Flying Sword.

Moreover, it is the second fifth-grade intermediate spiritual treasure currently owned by the family.

The first item is Ling Pengyun’s Five Elements River of Treasures.

At the beginning, Ling Pengyun spent a lot of resources to assist the Five Elements and Treasures River to break through, and even consumed most of his family assets.

Although it seems to be easier for Ling Pengxing this time, ordinary people cannot get a fifth-level mid-grade ghost sword formation weapon like he did.

For this reason, Ling Pengyun has not yet cultivated his second fifth-grade intermediate spiritual treasure, but he has gathered a lot of resources in the past few hundred years. As long as he gathers more, he will be able to help the Black Dragon Armor reach the fifth-grade intermediate level.

Although the Black Dragon Armor is a defensive spiritual treasure, he had already used powerful weapon refining methods to transform it into his own life-long item. The power he activated with this treasure was also stronger.

Moreover, the Black Dragon Armor can store a large amount of spiritual power. It is actually an auxiliary treasure and is of great help to Ling Pengyun in improving his strength.

'In addition, apart from Xinghai Pavilion, it is estimated that the other incarnation forces have less foundation in fifth-level middle-grade spiritual treasures than our clan, which can also be regarded as an honor.'

"……"

During the banquet, the large number of Ling family monks who had watched the flying sword transcend the thunder of tribulation could not help but feel excited and proud every time they recalled the magnificent scene before.

In addition to the Ling family, the Xinghai Pavilion, an old and incomparable force in the transformation of the spirit, also possesses two fifth-grade intermediate spiritual treasures, and both are in the hands of the Xinghai Patriarch, namely the Haiyun Xingchen Jiaolong Banner, and the Xinghai Shield.

One attack and one defense, both are extremely useful and can perfectly demonstrate the strength of the Star Sea Ancestor.

Moreover, the Haiyun Xingchen Jiaolong Banner had reached the middle grade of the fifth rank nearly a thousand years ago. With years of accumulation, its power has become even greater than before, and it has even reached the upper-middle grade of the same rank, making it the most powerful spiritual treasure in the world.

…

After the banquet.

After Ling Pengxing had a long talk with Ling Pengyun and other close relatives, they returned to the Ghost Immortal Valley deep in the Ghost Immortal Mountains, where they practiced Taoism.

He summoned back the fifth-grade lower-grade Ghost Fairy Lamp, an excellent auxiliary ghost treasure on his body, and entered its inner space, a cave for cultivation filled with a strong ghost aura.

"With this flying sword, I can be considered to be a well-known figure among the incarnation gods in the entire Cangxuan Realm."

"But it's not enough..."

Ling Pengxing raised his hand and summoned the Ghost Immortal Flying Sword which had just entered the fifth-level intermediate grade. His heart was filled with excitement, but he also had a stronger desire to pursue the Tao.

Since his flying sword can reach the middle grade of fifth rank, why can't his master reach the middle grade of transformation?

Moreover, he had been trying to reach the Spiritual Transformation stage on his own and had condensed a superior foundation. Even if one looked at the entire Cang Xuan Realm, this kind of aptitude could be ranked in the top three, and few people could compare to him.

But his attempt to achieve the God Transformation was also feared by everyone. In fact, he was the first person to successfully achieve the God Transformation in this way in the past tens of thousands of years.

For this reason, even though people know that such methods can help to condense the foundation of high quality, they dare not try it.

Only a madman like Ling Pengxing, who is a fanatical Taoist practitioner, dares to give it a try.

In the following days, Ling Pengxing spent most of his time on cultivation. Occasionally, he would comprehend the way of the sword through the Ghost Fairy Flying Sword, or cultivate the five natal spirit ghosts that he had refined with a special method in his early years together with the Ghost Fairy Lamp.

The five ghost spirits belonged to the five elements respectively and were proficient in the five elements magic. With the combined power of the five, they could easily suppress those of the same level.

However, their current cultivation is still at the Nascent Soul stage, but with the help of the excellent auxiliary ghost treasure such as the Ghost Fairy Lamp, they have all touched upon the incomplete ordinary Five Elements Taoism.

Perhaps in the near future, they will all have the opportunity to achieve divine enlightenment.

"These three lamp-guarding ghosts that I have devoted all my efforts to nurturing are getting closer to becoming gods. It seems that I need to work harder to absorb ghost energy and condense the light of ghost immortals."

The spirit of the Ghost Fairy Lamp was gazing at the center of its own internal space. Its heart was filled with admiration for the three Nascent Soul Perfection ghost spirits of different styles but all cultivating.

The three ghost spirits are respectively good at physique, magic, and defense, and they are all top-notch among the top. They are the ghost spirits carefully selected by Ghost Fairy Lamp from the countless ghost spirits he cultivated.

Each one of them is stronger than any of Ling Pengxing's five natal spirit ghosts, but they may not be as strong when they join forces.

In addition, they have also touched upon some incomplete ideas of Taoism, and their progress is even relatively fast, and they are about to succeed in comprehending and impact the spiritual realm.

However, if they rely solely on their own strength to achieve the Divine Transformation, it is still somewhat difficult, with the probability being less than 10% or 20%.

The Ghost Immortal Lamp planned to condense a ray of Ghost Immortal light for each of them to assist them in breaking through.

However, if one wants to condense enough ghost fairy light, it will take a very long time.

But there is a way to solve this problem, which is to cultivate more ghost veins and evolve more ghost energy.

After Ling Pengxing learned about this, he particularly agreed with it. He immediately sought out Ling Pengyun and other senior family members and briefly explained the matter to them.

"We agree with this. After the family destroyed many demonic forces and the forces in the Purple Abyss Realm, we have obtained many spiritual veins. Even if the current members of the family have grown a lot, those spiritual veins are enough for the members to practice. There is no need to worry about this for the time being."

"Moreover, if you and Senior Ghost Immortal can cultivate spirit ghosts that can transform into gods, it will also be beneficial to our clan. In addition, if the clan has any spare spirit objects that can transform into gods, they can also be used to assist your spirit ghosts and Senior Ghost Immortal's spirit ghosts in reaching the level of gods."

Ling Pengyun said with a smile.

"Thank you very much."

Ling Pengxing was overjoyed.

In the following days, the family provided almost 70% of the spirit stones that could be saved each year to Ling Pengxing and Guixiandeng to cultivate ghost veins in the Guixian Mountains.

The Ghost Fairy Lamp has existed in this world for a long time, and has mastered many arts. It even has extremely high attainments in ghost formations. It has reached the fifth-level formation attainment in its early years. With the help of a large number of spirit stones, it cultivated two quasi-fifth-level ghost veins, as well as many high-level ghost veins, or new ghost veins in a short period of time.

In just a few decades, the ghost energy in the entire Ghost Immortal Mountain Range has become nearly twice as strong as before.

…

But not long after.

In the core area of ​​the Ghost Immortal Mountains, in the Ghost Immortal Valley, a strange thing was happening.

All the fourth-level and above formation masters of the Ling family gathered here, even Ling Penglin, a fifth-level lower-grade formation master, was among them.

Under the command of the Ghost Fairy Lamp, they buried ghost spiritual objects in various places in the Ghost Fairy Valley and established a series of special formation nodes.

Eventually, an extremely special formation was formed.

"I have finally waited until this moment. It is time to try to condense the core of the formation and completely set up this formation."

The spirit of the Ghost Fairy Lamp sensed all of this and was extremely excited.

"Senior Ghost Immortal, are you confident that you can use the power of the five quasi-fifth-level ghost veins underground to set up a fifth-level ghost path ascending vein formation and forcibly cultivate the fifth-level ghost veins?"

"This place is the core of the ghost-raising formation in the entire Ghost Immortal Mountain Range. Once an accident happens here, the power of the ghost-raising formation will be greatly damaged. At that time, the countless ghost veins in the Ghost Immortal Mountain Range will not be able to be connected in series as before to achieve additional effects. The cultivation speed of all the ghosts in the mountains will slow down."

"It is estimated that there will be no hope for us to cultivate a large number of gods, spirits and ghosts in a short period of time."

Ling Pengxing was a little flustered and asked quickly.

"Don't worry, kid. I have practiced this set of Five Elements Spiritual Array for hundreds of years. Moreover, I had the current plan when I first cultivated the five quasi-fifth-level spiritual veins in the valley."

"Furthermore, when my Ghost Immortal Sect was still alive, it used this method to cultivate a fifth-order ghost vein. Although my attainments in formations were not as strong as they are now, I also participated in it. As an assistant, I know the formation very well."

“Even if I rely on myself alone, I have a 40% to 50% chance of success, and even if I fail, I can be absolutely sure to preserve the five quasi-fifth-level ghost veins with inconsistent properties under the ground.”

"Not to mention, this time we have the help of fellow cultivator Penglin who has good attainments in formations."

"But boy, when did you have so many concerns? This is not in line with your character. Could it be that you have been practicing in the mountains and your temper has been worn away? Don't let me look down on you."

The spirit of the Ghost Fairy Lamp looked at Ling Pengxing with contempt.

The five quasi-fifth-level ghost veins under the Ghost Immortal Valley were all cultivated by the Ghost Immortal Lamp using a special formation. Their attributes were extremely simple, but when added together, they had all five elements.

This perfectly meets the requirements of the Five Elements Ghost Path Ascending Vein Formation, and can increase the chances of nurturing a fifth-order lower-grade ghost vein.

And that great formation was created by the Ghost Immortal Sect, which was known as the strongest ghost sect in the world tens of thousands of years ago. It took countless years for successive formation masters to create it. Although this sect has long been destroyed, the Ghost Immortal Lamp is the sect's most precious treasure after all, and it has preserved the formation inheritance and even other inheritances of this sect.

"Senior, you misunderstood. Whether it is the two quasi-fifth-level ghost veins you cultivated recently, or the three quasi-fifth-level ghost veins you cultivated in the past, or the majority of the other ghost veins in the entire Ghost Immortal Mountain Range, they were all cultivated with family assets."

"And the main purpose of the family's support for this matter is to cultivate spirit ghosts and increase the fighting power of the clan members. If this matter goes astray, I will really be doing a disservice to the family."

Ling Pengxing said helplessly.

The family trusts him and provides him with resources, so how could he dare to make any mistakes?

"Don't worry, at worst, I can condense the light of the ghost fairy to compensate your clan in the future."

Guixiandeng cursed with a smile, then turned to call Ling Penglin, the extraordinary formation master, to work together to set up the core of the Five Elements Ghost Path Rising Veins Formation in the Guixian Mountains.

"I just hope that Senior Ghost Immortal can succeed."

When Ling Pengxing heard what Gui Xiandeng said, he felt a little relieved, but he was still a little worried.

Although the Ghost Fairy Lamp has extraordinary effects and the condensed light of the Ghost Fairy is of extremely high value, the Ghost Fairy Lamp is, after all, one of our own.

If it fails, the family will suffer the consequences.

“Brother Pengxing, there is no need to worry too much. There is always a possibility of failure in the matter of advancing to the ghost vein, but as long as there is a chance of success, it is worth a try. After all, the benefits brought by this matter are extraordinary.”

A moment later, Ling Pengyun also appeared here. Seeing Ling Pengxing's expression, he guessed something and said with a smile.

When Ling Pengxing heard Ling Pengyun say this, he felt relieved.

…

And as time goes by.

Guixiandeng and Ling Penglin finally followed the plan and set up the core of the Shengmai Array.

"start!"

As a sound came from the Ghost Fairy Lamp, the core of the formation suddenly flashed with ghost light and transmitted a special ghost wave.

The formation nodes that were previously arranged by many formation masters of the Ling family in various places in the Ghost Immortal Valley began to move abnormally and began to rapidly absorb countless ghost energy from the entire Ghost-Raising Mountain Range.

During this period, although many formation nodes were shaken by the ghost energy due to some errors, fortunately there were many high-level formation masters of the Ling family who were always guarding those formation nodes. (End of this chapter)
