Chapter 192 Thunder Spirit Body, Terrifying Enhancement
After completing the first level of the internal organ refinement, Chen Yi's five internal organs had already undergone initial strengthening and improvement.
Chen Yi has made many attempts over the years.
Sixty strands of golden crystal cores can open the second level of organ refining, but the effect is slow and the energy is singular, which may result in the refining of metal-type organs, which may be too rigid and not nourished enough in the future.
Moreover, at the late stage of the third level, this method inevitably requires the fusion of a hundred strands of golden crystal marrow before further cultivation can proceed.
The young monk had already warned that if one continued down the path of the Golden Crystal Marrow, there might be powerful monks waiting to devour those of the same level above.
Chen Yi no longer intends to take this path.
Even with Chen Yi's current level of spiritual consciousness, magical power, and physical cultivation, fusing them into the Five Elements Golden Crystal would be difficult.
A year ago, he tried to condense four lines of golden crystals, but he failed.
But the good news is that after Chen Yi formed the Purple Extreme Golden Core,
They have gained a strong understanding of life energy and lightning spiritual power.
He began experimenting, trying to condense the lightning crystal energy even more, much like condensing a gold crystal core.
Condensing it into a lightning crystal core.
This attempt made slight progress in the two months following the formation of the Golden Core, but it was not successful until now.
Now, he has four bottles of Azure Thunder Brew in his possession.
Chen Yi decided to spend the money and give it a try.
In the secret chamber of the cave,
The moment Chen Yi swallowed the Azure Thunder Brew, he felt as if his meridians had been struck by lightning. The violent power of the thunder spirit exploded within him, but was instantly tamed by some mysterious force.
His skin was covered in bluish-purple lightning patterns, and fine electric sparks danced in his hair, making him seem like a humanoid lightning spirit.
"This is the Thunder Spirit Body?"
"Wind and Thunder Release!"
With a slight thought, Chen Yi's figure suddenly transformed into a streak of blue-purple lightning.
The Wind and Thunder Escape, which originally required precise control, was now as natural as breathing. The third-level divine sense resonated perfectly with the Thunder Spirit Body, and the trajectory of the escape light changed at will.
The burst of speed, reaching a hundred feet in an instant, no longer consumes additional lightning crystals; the extreme speed can be maintained solely through the circulation of lightning spirit within the body.
Even more mysteriously, the Thunder Escape Form can differentiate at will—it can condense into a shuttle shape to break the sound barrier, or disperse into a network of electric fields to intercept, or even simulate the Thunder Lion's Thunder Tide fluctuations to conceal its tracks.
"Thunder Whip!"
Chen Yi clenched his fist, and the Five-Colored Soul Thunder Whip was summoned.
At this moment, the surface of the lightning whip is coated with cyan-purple lightning patterns, and the purple lightning that explodes from the tip of the whip has the property of annihilation.
What was originally a strike that required charging up could now be done with ease. The lightning whip moved like an extension of his arm, and could even split into nine phantoms to kill them simultaneously, increasing its effect on suppressing demonic thoughts by three times.
The most astonishing change was in the lightning crystal array within the body.
One hundred and eight lightning crystals, in their lightning spirit form, autonomously formed the [Heavenly Thunder Net], increasing the speed of the array's flow tenfold.
The entire Thunder Crystal can provide Thunder Spirits with an energy source far exceeding that of ordinary ones.
That is,
The energy from a single bottle of [Azure Sky Thunder Brew] consumed by others is only enough to sustain them for a distance of about a hundred miles using Thunder Release techniques.
Chen Yi, through the Heavenly Gang Thunder Net Array activated by his innate thunder talisman, could continuously provide energy to his thunder spirit power.
I made an estimate.
Its Thunder Spirit Body's energy is at least ten times greater than that of a single bottle of [Azure Thunder Brew].
If used only for lightning escape, Chen Yi could travel a thousand miles in the blink of an eye!
However, if one doesn't use this kind of lightning-based spiritual power recklessly...
Chen Yi can maintain the Thunder Spirit Body for more than fifteen minutes!
Unexpectedly, Chen Yi discovered such a wonderful use!
But today he's not using it to study lightning techniques and speed.
Instead, they intend to use the Thunder Spirit Body's control over the Thunder Spirit to further study the Thunder Crystal.
The next moment, Chen Yi's mind stirred.
The lightning crystal at his fingertips suddenly disintegrated. The originally rock-solid lightning crystal became as flexible as dough, transforming into thirty slender strands of lightning under his precise control.
Each lightning crystal in his hand decomposed into simple lightning bolts.
After decomposing more than ten lightning crystals and producing hundreds of lightning bolts,
Chen Yi's mind tightened, and he activated his divine sense.
next moment
The lightning bolts moved around like living things, eventually coalescing again in the palm of the hand, forming a lightning crystal core that was a perfect fusion of sixty lightning bolts!
The surface of the core is covered with lightning patterns, and purple electricity surges inside, its energy level far exceeding that of ordinary third-order lightning crystals.
A lightning crystal core that reaches the same level as a diamond core!
This lightning crystal core can be used not only in combat but also for body tempering.
Furthermore, it can even serve as the basic energy unit for the Thunder Spirit Divine Power, and can be nurtured using Chen Yi's divine sense.
In the future, like the golden crystal core, it will transform into the foundation of a completely new Thunder Spirit Divine Power!
Time was of the essence, so Chen Yi didn't have time to delve into the details of what the lightning crystal core was used for.
Instead, while the Thunder Spirit Body was still present, it continued to decompose and fuse.
A quarter of an hour passed.
Chen Yi looked at the eight powerful lightning crystal cores nurtured in the eight major acupoints within his body and revealed a satisfied expression.
Chen Yi consumed more than thirty lightning crystals in total, and also used the system's power to absorb the remaining energy of the lightning brew.
Ultimately, eight lightning crystal cores condensed within his body—this was the limit that his current body refinement cultivation could withstand.
"Not bad. One bottle of Thunder Brew can produce eight Thunder Crystal Cores."
From an energy perspective, it's not a loss.
In terms of quality, the Thunder Crystal Core itself reaches the mid-grade energy level of the third tier.
If this kind of mid-grade third-tier lightning crystal core were used as the basic energy unit for body refining...
It will only make my body refinement cultivation improve faster.
After that, Chen Yi only briefly tried using the lightning crystal core to temper his body before stopping.
While the effect was good, that approach involved transforming the body into lightning, which didn't offer the strongest defense and survivability.
Chen Yi's fundamental body-refining technique is the Vajra Skill.
This body-refining path cannot be changed.
Chen Yi prepared to attempt to combine the Thunder Crystal Core and the Gold Crystal Core into one.
The transformation is closer to a late-stage Tier 3 Thunder Core.
However, both of these are extremely condensed and possess immense power.
No matter how Chen Yi tried, he could not succeed.
At that moment, a thought suddenly struck him:
"White Dragon Jade!"
That's right, the White Dragon Jade of the Jade Dragon Sect should be able to fuse the two.
This is the most easily obtainable Five Elements Fusion Treasure in the Qi Kingdom for Chen Yi at present.
"I don't know how the little monk is doing."
If he gets out, I can use Xu Jiu's identity again to have a chat with Sect Master Longxiang.
Now, with Chen Yi's strength, he is no longer afraid to face Master Long Xiang Zhenren head-on.
Moreover, the little monk, posing as Xu Jiu, gave him a severe beating.
It's estimated that if they meet again, Long Xiang won't be able to muster any more resistance.
In the south, in a hidden paradise of lakes and seas,
The young monk stood solemnly amidst the ruins of the secret realm, now completely transformed into a demon's lair.
Multiple cracks and breaches appeared in the barrier of the secret realm, allowing void turbulence and foul demonic energy to intertwine and seep in.
The original area of the Inheritance Hall has become a demonic space, creating an unstable connection with the filthy demon realm.
The spiritual energy was corrupted by demonic energy, turning into a thick, grayish-black mist with corrosive properties.
In the secret realm, the monsters have become demonic, their eyes turning red, their aggression increasing dramatically, and plants withering and hardening into sharp, bone-like spurs, emitting a foul stench.
A corrosive black liquid seeped from the ground, and a "demonic tide" phenomenon occurred during the day-night cycle, causing the concentration of demonic energy to surge tenfold.
In certain areas, spatial distortions occur, randomly giving rise to corrupted demonic creatures with twisted wills.
Fortunately, the spatial rift was not powerful enough, so the demonic creatures that were teleported over were at most at the Core Formation stage.
In the past few months, the young monk had tried to cross over to the filthy demon realm through spatial rifts.
However, due to the terrifying spatial storm and the powerful demonic creatures blocking the way, he dared not take a single step forward.
Furthermore, the spatial passages and fissures appear to be growing larger.
The young monk estimated that within a few hundred years at most, a large number of demonic beings would overwhelm this secret realm.
Arriving on the homeland of the Qi Kingdom's cultivation world,
However, if someone were to break the fourth-order sealing array of the secret realm from the outside...
This process may be accelerated.
The Demon Realm is off-limits, and the Central Plains are inaccessible.
The young monk suddenly felt as if the world was vast, yet he had nowhere to go.
With his current strength, he is simply unable to cultivate the [Buddha's Heart Seeds Demon Scripture].
The little monk simply used the image-collecting stone to gather some of the filthy demonic aura within the secret realm, and then left.
He believed that after giving these things to the higher-ups of the demonic path, they wouldn't rashly attack this fourth-order sealed formation.
Releasing the filthy demonic creatures and their aura would not benefit their demonic path.
Although the demonic energy there is profound, most of it has been corrupted by twisted wills.
To cultivate oneself, one must relinquish one's own thoughts and will.
This is also different from the cultivation philosophy of the demonic path.
After throwing the image-recording stone to Elder Blood Fiend, who had been lurking outside the secret realm for months, the little monk disappeared again.
He wanted to explore other secret realms and forbidden areas in the cultivation world of Qi in order to find a way to solve his own problems.
After guarding the area for several months without any incident, Elder Blood Fiend prepared to head north to return to the Demonic Path headquarters to report back.
"Crow, I'll go back first. You stay here and continue to observe. If the Palace Masters give any orders, be prepared to cooperate."
If you have nothing to do, you can continue to think about taking Qin Chengcheng alive.
"Yes, Elder. I'll first figure out how to get rid of that cook next to Qin Chengcheng."
I've heard that a rare, third-tier spirit wine called Azure Thunder Brew has appeared on the northern battlefield of demonic beasts. It can temporarily transform one into a thunder spirit.
It greatly enhances the strength of righteous cultivators who have reached the Core Formation stage.
This dish was made by that same Chef Chen from before, and combined with Lin Fan's recent work...
This person cannot be allowed to live.
"Master Han Ya replied."
"Okay. You can decide these small things yourself."
Be careful not to give anyone a handle to use against you.
During wartime, if a newly promoted Core Formation cultivator dies, so be it.
Chen Yi purchased some materials for crafting second-tier puppets in Qingfeng Immortal City.
With his current cultivation level and status, he frequents high-level venues of the Chamber of Commerce.
There are virtually no second-tier materials that are not available to him.
This purchase is enough for him to make puppets for ten years.
After returning to the Myriad Sounds Sect, Chen Yi originally intended to find an opportunity to use Xu Jiu's name to visit the Jade Dragon Sect and ask Sect Master Long Xiang for the White Dragon Jade, and to obtain as many pieces as possible.
He'll take some interest, including the grudge from the other party's two attempts to stop him from forming his core.
Unexpectedly,
The young monk, having done a good deed to the end, went directly to the Jade Dragon Sect after leaving the secret realm, assuming the identity of Xu Jiu.
Even the Jade Dragon Sect's grand formation couldn't stop him.
He stormed straight into the Jade Dragon Hall and confronted Sect Master Longxiang, demanding to know where Bai Longyu was.
He was practically ready to slap Master Longxiang in front of thousands of disciples of the Jade Dragon Sect.
then,
Master Longxiang was both ashamed and angry, but he was no match for Xu Jiu, a mid-stage third-tier body cultivator with extremely fast speed and strong defense.
Moreover, they may possess powerful escape trump cards.
Even if he used his strength and gathered the power of all his disciples, he might not be able to kill Xu Jiu.
If Xu escapes and ends up in the wild, then the Jade Dragon Sect will be in dire straits, and none of them will be able to leave the area.
Finally, Master Longxiang swallowed his anger, gritted his teeth, took a piece of white dragon jade, gave it to the little monk, and only then did he give up.
Later, Chen Yi received a message from the little monk.
I met him in a dark cave underground in the Thousand Sound Mountains.
The young monk told Chen Yi about the grim situation in the secret realm and that he had done some things while posing as Xu Jiu.
In return, he stormed the Jade Dragon Sect and seized the White Dragon Jade from Chen Yi.
Chen Yi accepted the box containing the white dragon jade, feeling a pang of emotion. The Jade Dragon Sect owed him something; he had originally planned to wait until he was stronger before attacking and seizing more.
As a result, the young monk did all the work for him, so he couldn't say anything.
"If Benefactor Chen feels that this humble monk has offended you and made a powerful enemy because of the identity of Xu Jiu, then Benefactor Xu may choose not to use this identity in the future."
The young monk was very thoughtful.
Chen Yi remained noncommittal, only saying, "Thank you for helping me get revenge, little master. If you need to use the identity of Xu Jiu in the future, just let me know in advance."
To avoid the situation where two Xu Jius appear simultaneously in the north and south, causing unnecessary trouble.
"No problem."
Later, Chen Yi asked the little monk about some details of the Monster Mountain Range, most importantly, which routes were relatively safe and passable.
The young monk gave Chen Yi a jade slip containing a partial map of the Monster Beast Mountain Range.
These are all things that the demonic path has gradually discovered over the past thousand years, through trial and error in the Monster Beast Mountain Range.
Chen Yi thanked him again.
Earlier, when Chen Yi heard the little monk say that the demonic aura within the secret realm was growing stronger and stronger, and that it would eventually become undefendable, he had already decided to leave.
The Qi Kingdom can only hold out for a hundred or two hundred years at most, assuming no external force destroys the fourth-order sealing array.
The good news is that the young monk has analyzed the situation and concluded that the demonic path currently has no reason to forcibly destroy the great formation. Furthermore, they need a considerable amount of time to study the demonic energy tainted by the corrupted demonic realm.
Only by finding a way to purify the demonic energy within can one adapt to cultivation.
Ironically, Buddhism is very adept at this method of providing demonic energy and purifying impurities and evil thoughts.
The young monk himself had mastered several methods.
However, the young monk had no intention of contributing this.
Although Chen Yi listened to the little monk's explanation and guessed that the Qi Kingdom would remain peaceful for about a hundred years,
But he always liked to plan for the worst; he had no intention of lingering in the State of Qi for another hundred years.
Make plans early, but wait for the right opportunity.
Ideally, this would happen when the Qi Kingdom truly begins a major war with the demonic army and the high-ranking members of the demonic path.
At that time, the Monster Mountain Range was empty, which was a good time to smuggle people across. It would be even better if we could find a smuggling team to share the risks.
This matter requires further consideration.
After finding Chen Yi, the young monk left, saying he was going to seek an opportunity to resolve the problem of the coexistence of the demon and the Buddha within him.
Chen Yi, on the other hand, returned to the Miaoyin Sect and began his seclusion.
One White Dragon Jade would be enough for Chen Yi to use for over a decade. He needed to further enhance his overall strength before sneaking into the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
This includes body refinement, magic, supernatural powers, puppetry skills, and the strength of spirit pets.
Now, the treasure-hunting rat has advanced to the third tier.
The Crimson Flame Sparrow was still flying solo, searching for opportunities. Several times it returned injured, and Chen Yi would heal it and replenish its Thunder Crystal trump cards.
As for whether it will have the opportunity to advance to the third rank, that depends on itself; Chen Yi can't worry about that too much right now.
Just as Chen Yi began his secluded cultivation retreat...
A black, almost invisible third-tier soul raven quietly arrived at the Thousand Sound Mountains and began to lurk.
Black Crow Master has been waiting in the vicinity of the Southern Lands recently. With nothing to do, he's taking the opportunity to devise a plan to capture Qin Chengcheng.
Killing Chen Yi was the first task Elder Blood Fiend gave him.
