Devour

Chapter 316: Pilgrims

Although a little disappointing, this piece of nourishing spiritual wood contains unprecedented special benefits.

As a God King, his body has unique qualities. While being transformed into wood energy to assist in cultivation, it is attached with a trace of mysterious Taoist patterns, helping the Dantian Jianmu to evolve in unexpected directions.

The surface of Jianmu gradually became covered with arc-shaped dragon scales, which spread all over the trunk and moved without wind, as if it was nurturing a dragon. As it swayed gently, it emitted a wonderful rhythm like a tsunami or a dragon's roar.

The process of cultivation will inevitably trigger strange phenomena in heaven and earth. The gorgeous aurora is like a nine-color rainbow tapestry covering the sky and earth. Fairy birds and mythical beasts condense into shape, dancing lightly in the palace like a dream.

Outside the palace, the night was long. The dark wind howled suddenly and then died down. Twenty-seven hours passed in a hurry.

Due to the isolation of the Sky-Intercepting Formation, no one outside the hall noticed anything unusual. The protection of the God King's skeleton also made this place an excellent safe place to avoid the Nether Wind.

When Cheng Bai practiced Phoenix Force to the third level, all the energy in the huge spiritual tree was consumed, and his cultivation level naturally improved.

The Jianmu tree in Dantian underwent amazing changes. The towering sacred tree was shrouded in fairy light and mist. The Yangtze River of magic power roared and surged upward, rushing straight towards the fourth gate of magic power - the Gate of No Residence.

Countless runes were combined and transformed again and again, constructing various wonderful weapons and armor forms. With the continuous support of the Yangtze River of mana, the mysterious magic circle door was perfected and opened with a bang amid the sound of fairy music.

The magic power that passes through the Gate of Non-Dwelling surges like a flood that breaks through a dam, slowly gathering into the momentum of hundreds of rivers returning to the sea, flowing through every part of the body, bringing success in everything it does.

The non-dwelling is the attachment to the non-substantial, which breaks through the mutual penetration of subject and object, and breaks the root of consciousness bondage and appearance bondage. It even breaks through nothing to be broken, and the nature of the mind does not dwell in the bondage of reality.

To put it simply, after a cultivator goes through arduous training, his three souls and seven spirits merge into one to form his primordial spirit!

Moreover, the sea of ​​consciousness was expanded by the power of the Phoenix, and from then on it was vast and boundless, forming a world of its own that could accommodate all things.

Jianmu slowly opened a pair of wise eyes, but their appearance and spirit were completely different from those of naked eyes. They were profound and mysterious, as if an ancient god was parasitic in them. They blinked and then disappeared quietly.

"I've broken through to the early stage of the Wuzhu Realm. I'm done." Cheng Bai's cultivation has been qualitatively sublimated. He is radiating new vitality from the inside out. He opened his eyes and looked at Zhai Xufei and Bei Tingjun with confidence.

One of them was seen with wind and thunder, and the power of divinity was strong; the other was seen with mist, and the power of divinity was spiritual. Each of them entered a critical stage, and the state was quite mysterious, which added a lot of help to Cheng Bai's promotion.

When Yali first left the palace, he made some noise outside, but then he disappeared without a sound and never returned to the palace.

"In his current condition, he cannot resist the attack of the Dark Wind." Cheng Bai was relieved, but at the same time, he frowned slightly and thought: "Could it be that Ji Dong is too strong, and the eighth-level lords are no match for the Son of Samsara. They have all become stepping stones for the sublimation of combat power!"

The Dionysus gourd on the altar also successfully upgraded with the opportunity. Its appearance hardly changed, but its quality had already leapt to a high-quality Horcrux.

Cheng Bai waved his hand gently, and the wine god gourd was summoned and flew into his palm. He opened the faucet cover, and the rich aroma of wine filled the air, making people feel intoxicated.

He took a sip of Ice and Flame Thunder God Wine, silently comprehending the mysterious artistic conception of the combination of ice and fire. When his spirit, energy and mind were integrated, a flash of inspiration came into his mind.

In joy, Cheng Bai put the magic weapon into his sea of ​​consciousness, adjusted the five elements of energy, and stretched out his hands to practice martial arts.

Now his power has greatly improved, and he uses the hand of melting gold and breaking jade. Suddenly, the left hand is blazing with flames, and the right hand is flowing with water. His mind moves as he wishes, and he suddenly returns to the original state, and sometimes his qi manifests all things.

At first, the water and fire annihilated each other, and the vitality consumed a huge amount of mana. After the hands were stuck for a long time, they gradually turned into a fusion of water and fire, with fire in the water and water in the fire, and the vitality became more and more vigorous! Miraculously, the palms showed the mystery of reciprocal changes, releasing powerful power endlessly.

When the power reaches a perfect balance, the fourth killing move of the Molten Gold and Broken Jade Hand, "Deep Water and Fire", will come naturally!

Cheng Bai said with satisfaction: "The secret realm has sufficient resources, and practicing this move went more smoothly than expected."

After Zhai Xufei and Bei Tingjun concentrated on practicing the Holy Bloodline Scripture, they seemed to be able to sense Cheng Bai's intention. They stopped practicing and stood up at the same time, their bright eyes flashing with brilliance.

Zhai Xufei said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for your great progress."

Bei Tingjun immediately said: "Congratulations, Your Excellency, on reaching a higher level."

Cheng Bai nodded slightly and praised: "It seems that you have made great progress. It must have been a long time since you made great progress. I wonder what the outcome of the battle between Yali and Ji Dong outside is."

Zhai Xufei said: "They made a lot of noise at the beginning, shaking the palace. Perhaps because the fight moved from near to far and no longer affected this place, they disappeared as the dark wind blew away."

Bei Tingjun said: "Without seeing it with my own eyes, it is difficult to guess what happened. If Yali dares to come back and attack, we have both regained our former glory and will join forces to fight it to the death!"

"We are now confident enough to escape from the formation. Follow me." Cheng Bai led the team into the Shengjin Tower, using his powerful spiritual sense to activate the magic weapon.

The Shengjin Pagoda was radiant with light and its power was incomparable. It easily broke free from the constraints of the Jiekong Formation and came to the outside world.

I stayed in the palace for about two and a half days, and less than a day had passed outside, until noon.

Shengjin Pagoda flew at a very fast speed. After patrolling for a while along the same route, it found the boat moored on top of a ruin.

Cheng Bai led Zhai Xufei and Bei Tingjun out of the Shengjin Pagoda and put away the immortal weapon. As soon as they approached the Yafang, the door slowly opened and Hei Long, Yan Gui and A Pu came out quickly.

As soon as they met, the Smoker said, "Your Majesty, yesterday at dusk, Yayu and Ji Dong had a fierce battle. With my level of cultivation, it was difficult to see the whole scene, but from my sense of the aura, I could tell that the two sides were evenly matched, and the battle lasted until the dark wind started to blow."

A Pu's statement was clearer: "In my humble opinion, Yali thought he had a sure win, but he couldn't defeat Ji Dong despite using all his tricks, and he couldn't get rid of his opponent, so he was in a very helpless situation."

Cheng Baidao: "What is the final outcome?"

Hei Long said frankly: "We discussed the result for a long time afterwards. On the surface, both sides were submerged by the violent underworld wind and died."

That is to say, both of them died in the fierce battle, and neither of them could gain an advantage. No wonder Yali failed to return to the palace, could it be that he died like this?

Cheng Bai couldn't deduce the details of what happened based on just a few words, so he smiled and said, "I hope everyone is safe and sound."

Apu added: "They are fearless in the face of Mingfeng. Maybe they have some special method to escape in critical situations."

The Smoker continued, "Around the hour of Chen, the two princes, Yong Yao and Cai Youling, appeared nearby. They seemed to be wary of each other and stood in a distance. After wandering for a while, they left."

Hei Long described the scene in detail: "Yong Yao and his party were quite interested in the gold and iron relics in the ruins. They drove their flying armors back and forth to search, but it was unclear what they found. The Cai family's prince looked down on everything and drove his spirit boat very fast."

A Pu said thoughtfully: "What secrets are there in the Deep Abyss? I have asked the high-ranking officials of the Ranger Association for some information. It is hard to tell whether what they said is true or false. I just feel that there are great opportunities hidden among the dangers."

Zhai Xufei said: "For challengers, risks always outweigh opportunities. Prince Night Demon is known as the Lord of the Nine Abysses. His strength is definitely above the eight lords he met along the way, but apart from those who have fought in the deep abyss, no one knows what level of realm he has reached."

Bei Tingjun said: "It is said that the Temple of Life hides the secret of immortality. To set foot inside is to fight to the death, and at least one person must be sacrificed before one can get out. It is common for immortal saints to seclude themselves for hundreds or thousands of years. Immortality means endless possibilities. Therefore, even though they know the difficulties and dangers, there will always be pilgrims who continue to make the journey."

A Pu encouraged him, "With so many people rushing in, if we want to sacrifice only one person, it may not be our turn. Isn't this a great opportunity? There's no harm in going over to see the excitement."

While they were busy discussing, thunder rumbled in the distant sky and a familiar white flash of lightning streaked across the sky.

"Ji Dong! How did he survive in the dark wind?" Cheng Bai couldn't help but be secretly shocked, but saw that the dazzling lightning did not stop, but fell straight to the bottom of the abyss.

A Pu hurriedly urged: "The three emperors have already rushed into the deep abyss ahead of us, we must not fall behind."

Everyone returned to the Yafang and flew to the ninth floor.

After a long journey, we finally arrived at the mysterious kingdom at the deepest part of the Nine-Layered Abyss!
