Chapter 42: Qi training level eight, breaking out of the wilderness!

Inside the cave.

After several days of continuous practice, the spiritual energy in Shen Lian's body reached a perfect state.

It has been a year since he broke through to the seventh level of Qi training, but thanks to the spiritual energy tide, his realm after promotion did not produce any empty phenomenon.

After practicing the Five Qis to the Origin Gong, the spiritual power in his body is as powerful as those cultivators who have been practicing Qi for many years at the seventh level.

Playing with the Barrier Breaking Pill in his hand, Shen Lian opened his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

Damn, he will practice alchemy after leaving this wilderness.

This kind of rubbish pill is not eaten by dogs.

The pill of poor quality has a mixed taste, and it also makes him feel burning and stinging after taking it.

Soon, the medicinal power was released in the body and spread along the meridians to various parts of the body.

Shen Lian looked inward with his mind, fused and captured the Barrier Breaking Pill power scattered in the body, and pulled it into the meridians.

The medicinal power can only achieve the greatest effect when it flows through the meridians and into the Dantian and then is converted into spiritual power.

Now, Shen Lian's spiritual power has reached 70 feet.

This is all thanks to the secret method of refining blood and evoking soul.

Increasing the spiritual power of 20 feet in a year was unimaginable before, and this is the result of his restrained practice.

If he were like the demon cultivators, and let go of his fellow Taoists, his spiritual power would not be able to reach the sky.

No wonder so many cultivators choose to practice the magic method. Compared with the righteous method, the improvement is too fast.

The disadvantage is that the sequelae of practice are also great. Shen Lian feels a little addicted. Every time he refines the flesh and blood of monsters, he wants to grab Dahei and take a bite from time to time.

Fortunately, Dahei is ugly and black, which suppresses his bloodthirsty impulse.

It is better than the effect of the Qingxin Talisman.

Six drops of crystal blood beads are attached to his heart.

After the refined monster blood is assimilated into the body, it does not always exist in this form.

After nourishing the divine consciousness, the essence in the blood will also be consumed. When it is consumed to a certain extent, the remaining blood beads will melt into the body to nourish the whole body.

It can be said that while the divine consciousness is improving, Shen Lian's own flesh and blood strength has also been partially improved.

Under the divine consciousness strength of seventy feet, every meridian in the body is in Shen Lian's perception, and most of the scattered and surging medicinal power in the body is caught in the meridians and goes to the dantian.

Rumble--

The majestic medicinal power flows into the dantian along the meridians, and the bottleneck of the eighth level of Qi training is broken through in just a quarter of an hour.

The medicinal power that has been assimilated in the dantian re-enters the meridian circulation and turns into the five elements of spiritual power.

This process lasted for half a day, and Shen Lian's breath gradually calmed down.

At this moment, he was truly successful in breaking through the eighth level of Qi training.

Huh--

Shen Lian took a long breath, looked at the black dirt that seeped out of his body, and then the spiritual energy rolled up to clean his whole body.

Without getting up in a hurry, he began to check how much his divine consciousness had increased.

From the time the divine consciousness was derived, every breakthrough was a sublimation of the cultivator's life level, and the divine consciousness would also increase accordingly.

With a thought, Shen Lian's divine consciousness began to spread outward.

Thirty feet... fifty feet... seventy feet... eighty feet... eighty-five feet...

When the divine consciousness expanded to ninety-two feet, he realized the end.

Breaking through from the seventh level of Qi training to the eighth level, the divine consciousness increased by twenty-two feet.

Shen Lian was also unable to determine what category the intensity of his divine consciousness growth belonged to, and could only wait until he walked out of the wilderness to find a place to verify it.

But Weng Xia once said that there were not many cultivators with eighty or ninety feet of divine consciousness in the ninth level of Qi training in the Bishui Sect.

As for the strength of the divine consciousness of a hundred feet, it has entered the category of foundation-building cultivators.

There are countless opportunities in the world of immortal cultivation, and there are many sons of destiny, big and small. It is not ruled out that there are guys with opportunities who can have foundation-building divine consciousness during the Qi training period.

"I'm still eight feet short of divine consciousness strength, and I can start practicing the Soul Binding Seal in the Blood Refining Soul Evolution Secret Method."

"Doesn't it mean that when I break through the ninth level of Qi training, the strength of my divine consciousness will be comparable to that of foundation building?"

Shen Lian's eyes lit up.

"No, as long as there are monsters for me to refine, there is no need to wait until the ninth level of Qi training."

After a little boasting, Shen Lian stabilized his heart of Tao again.

Be steady.

Before leaving the wilderness, he didn't plan to continue practicing the Blood Refining Soul Evolution Secret Method. The effect of the Qingxin Talisman was greatly reduced. After each time he refined a monster, the sequelae of bloodthirstiness lasted longer and longer.

After going out, he found spiritual objects such as high-level Qingxin Gem or Ningxin Fruit, and then improved his divine consciousness to be more stable.

Just like practicing talisman making and beast control, they are all for the great way of cultivating immortals. The same is true for practicing the Soul Evolution Method. It is to assist in cultivating immortals, not to be controlled by blood.

Even if he becomes a demon, he must bite fellow Taoists according to his own will, instead of being possessed by the devil and losing his mind.

The divine mind swept around and checked the nest of the black-horned demon ants.

The demon ant group led by Dahei had gone out to explore and had not returned yet.

In the demon ant nest, the queen ant was still continuously producing black-horned ant larvae.

Before leaving the market, Shen Lian had purchased more than seventy first-level demon beasts, which had been completely consumed.

Twenty-nine of them were used by him to practice the secret method of refining blood and evoking souls, and the rest were used to cultivate black-horned ants.

Fortunately, after the black-horned demon ants formed a group, they could also hunt some weak demon insects for food, which allowed them to reproduce to the level of more than seven hundred demonized ants.

After being promoted to the eighth level of Qi training and with his divine consciousness reaching ninety feet, Shen Lian has been in this cave for quite some time. He feels that it is time to catch up.

Only by returning to the Chu Kingdom's cultivation world as soon as possible can he be safe.

…

In the vast mountains and wilderness.

Among the rocks and plants on the surface, fist-sized demon ants keep popping up their heads everywhere.

Sometimes, there are also bad luck.

They just disappear while walking.

The demon ant tribe has a unique way to identify routes. Where demon ants pass by, they will leave a unique special smell.

The black-horned demon ants can distinguish the routes taken by their own tribe based on the smell.

The smell on some routes suddenly disappears, which means that their own tribe may have died.

Then this road means there is danger.

Of course, in order to further verify the degree of danger of the route, the route that has killed the black-horned demon ants will not be abandoned directly.

There will be a second and third wave of demon ants to continue to relay and explore the way forward.

If all are dead.

emmmn...

The area near this road will be marked as a dangerous area, and you need to avoid it when passing by.

In addition to the unique talent of recognizing roads, the demon ants are also very sensitive to various qi in the environment.

The feces left by the demon beasts along the way and the traces of the demon beasts that have appeared will also be marked one by one.

These various data will eventually be collected by Dahei in Shen Lian's hands to form a map.

In the forest, Shen Lian looked at the animal skin in his hand that looked like a ghost painting, and walked down the surrounding mountains.

This map was made by Dahei and his clansmen with their lives.

It can be said to be as heavy as a mountain, and the credit is great.

...

"Do you have two black eyeballs to breathe? You can't even see such a big demon beast."

Shen Lian grabbed Dahei and lay panting in the underground cave.

Dahei's two antennae drooped, and his fangs twitched, which was very aggrieved.

Others fly in the sky, and they crawl on the ground. What can they do?

In the miasma cloud, high-pitched cries resounded through the sky. The miasma in the sky was surging due to the wind. Pairs of black or gray wings flapped, revealing the ugly bald eagle head on the head.

In a cave hundreds of feet deep underground, Shen Lian activated the talismans of breath-retaining and divine thoughts all over his body to cover up his breath.

Although he cursed, it was not Dahei's fault this time.

According to the road that Dahei led the tribe to explore in advance, Shen Lian drove out nearly 2,000 miles of mountain roads in just five days.

Unexpectedly, during the journey today, he was noticed by the rotten bone demon eagle that rushed out of the miasma.

This kind of demon bird is the most difficult guy in the wilderness.

There are many of them hiding in the miasma, coming and going without a trace, and they all appear in groups to hunt.

Shen Lian happened to be unlucky and encountered such a group of rotten bone demon eagles out hunting.

The moment he noticed something was wrong, he activated the earth escape talisman five times in succession, and along the way, he used the talismans of mountain and river terrain, divine movement, etc. to get into this underground cave.

Fortunately, this underground cave that had been explored in advance was only more than 30 miles away, so Shen Lian was able to escape danger.

The rotten bone demon eagle hovered in the void, and its eyes kept looking at the corners of the mountains and fields.

Shen Lian did not dare to go out, as he was also afraid of a group fight.

The rotten bone demon eagle hovered in this area for a total of three days before disappearing again in the miasma.

Dahei quietly crawled out to summon his fellow tribesmen, and in the last integration, he found that there were only more than a hundred left, and most of them were scared away by the demon eagle.

Fortunately, most of the backbones at the Qi training level were there, and these intelligent demon ants knew how to hide, and the demon ants that had just been transformed were more instinctive.

When they encountered danger, they would only drill around without thinking, and finally lose themselves.

"Hiss--"

Looking at the remaining black-horned demon ants, Dahei leaned close to Shen Lian and hummed.

Shen Lian touched Dahei's horn, "Let's go to the next cave to rest for a few days, and find you some more wives and have more children."

"Hiss--"

...

Four months later.

In the mountains and forests on the border of Chu State.

Shen Lian stood on a low hilltop, looking at the clear sky in all directions, wishing he could laugh three times.

I'm out!

Thousands of miles away, mountains and valleys, and endless miasma.

Do you know how many descendants of Dahei died!
