C17 Linglong's Small Pagoda
Spiritual energy was essential for cultivating the Heavenly Dao. It could be said to be the source of power. The stronger and purer the spiritual energy, the stronger the Heaven's Path Divine Art was. The Qi Building stage was different from the Core Formation stage. For example, if it was the same Sky Controlling Thunder, then a normal Core Formation lightning strike would be nothing more than a rock breaking. However, when a Soul Formation cultivator is struck by a bolt of lightning, the power of the lightning is earth-shattering.
Daoist Ku Song had borrowed the power of the spirit stone to transform the spirit energy from the natural ore into his own. This was the same as Liu Yunze's method of placing the Spiritual Qi Stone on the flying carpet. He would use external force to assist his internal force.
"Interesting! "Interesting!" Liu Yunze couldn't help but praise him. Daoist Ku Song was of the same mind as him.
Daoist Ku Song slightly creased his brow. He glared at Liu Yunze and tightly gripped the cane in his hand. This brat seemed to have understood something, but it was possible that it was just a scam.
"Old Man Ming, the spiritual energy used by this Daoist Ku Song, who is above the Qi Building Stage, is only from his cane." Liu Yunze pointed at Daoist Ku Song's cane.
Elder Ming was slightly taken aback, as if he did not understand what Liu Yunze meant.
Only then did Liu Yunze tell her everything that Daoist Ku Song had done.
"So that's how it is!" Old Man Ming nodded. No wonder when they fought, they felt that this person's spiritual energy was stronger than those at the Qi Building Stage. Unexpectedly, he had poured the spiritual energy from the Spirit Stone into the cane, only then was he able to unleash such a powerful force. But at the same time, doubt also arose in his heart. Even if he knew the source of the spiritual energy, how could he fight against the enemy?
Daoist Ku Song, who was standing by the side, couldn't help but be startled. How did this kid know the secrets within?
"He's just a bluffing paper tiger!" Liu Yunze suddenly pointed at Daoist Ku Song.
"Hahahahaha! So what if you all know?" Daoist Ku Song laughed loudly.
Patriarch Ming closed his eyes and all the spirit energy in his body surged out as he clapped several times with his right hand. A palm print formed from white Qi shot through the air like a stormy sea towards Daoist Ku Song. The speed was so fast that Daoist Ku Song was knocked to the ground in the time it took for a spark to fly off a piece of flint. If it were not for his fast reaction and his staff blocking in front of him, such a powerful palm technique would have been able to kill him in a moment!
Daoist Ku Song didn't even have the time to react before a cold feeling came from his neck. He lowered his head to look. Unknowingly, that youth had already arrived at his side, a longsword shining with a cold light in his hand. He vaguely remembered that this kid was quite a distance away from him just now, but why was he so fast?!
"Why is that?" Daoist Ku Song asked as his right hand slowly reached for the cane on the ground.
Liu Yunze kicked his cane away and said, "Are the three of us really idiots? Relying on the spirit stone staff that you saved up, your spirit energy has already surpassed the Qi Building Stage. Since it is like this, we naturally cannot face your direct confrontation. What we did before was just to numb you. "
Daoist Ku Song's face twitched a few times before he lowered his head. He didn't think that this brat would be able to know his secret in such a short period of time. Moreover, he even used his weakness of underestimating his opponent and being arrogant. If he hadn't been scared by the immense power of the Netherworld God Palm, he wouldn't have lost at this moment. Thinking of this, he fiercely smashed the ground. All the hard work he'd put in this month had been in vain.
"I am indeed unwilling. However, even with this spiritual energy, you are still no match for the three of us. It's very simple. Patriarch Netherworld alone will be able to finish you off. " Liu Yunze picked up the cane from the ground and held it in his hand. He continued, "Do you know why?"
Daoist Ku Song stared blankly at Liu Yunze.
"It's very simple. Controlling spirit energy requires a very minute amount of thought. [You are just wasting my spiritual qi!] You haven't even reached the realm, yet you want to possess spiritual energy that surpasses your body. In the end, who is going to lose if you don't lose! "
Liu Yunze brought Daoist Ku Song in front of the miners and let them deal with him.
"NO!" Please! Please! "Let me go, let me go!" The people from the Ku Songdao continuously begged Liu Yunze for mercy.
In the end, after several days, the accumulated anger of the nearby villagers smashed Daoist Ku Song into a meat patty. Afterwards, they all thanked Liu Yunze for saving their lives. If it wasn't for Liu Yunze, these people would have died here.
"You really know how to make up nonsense!" Guo Guo said. It had clearly seen everything just now from its Cosmic Bag. However, Liu Yunze wasn't wrong at all. The spirit energy stones that had been excavated had indeed been wasted by Daoist Ku Song. If it was Liu Yunze, it might have been another story. This was one of the reasons why Guo Guo had her eyes on him.
Liu Yunze did not reply, but a smile appeared on his face. He had never thought that he would be able to sense the spiritual qi so clearly! He had never felt this way before, and this was yet another doubt. However, this was not the time to be suspicious. The Spiritual Energy within the cane obtained from Daoist Ku Song's hand should be sufficient to fly on the flying carpet.
"Cultivator Liu, thank you!" "I don't have anything here that can help. This little thing was once found by me in the mountains, so I'll give it to you!" After Li Wei finished speaking, he took out a small black iron tower from his bosom. This black iron tower was only half the size of a fist. It looked very rough, as if it was made by some bored blacksmith. Liu Yunze couldn't refuse, so he took Tie Ta with him. With Tie Ta in his hand, his heart skipped a beat. The weight was not iron, but something heavier than iron. With Elder Ming and Kuang Kuang Jian present, he did not pay much attention to them and just casually threw Tie Ta into his Qiankun bag.
"Guo Guo, what do you think this thing is?" Liu Yunze immediately said to Guo Guo.
Guo Guo looked at the black pagoda in front of her in her Heaven and Earth Pouch, but couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. She only said: "It's an extremely ordinary thing!"
Liu Yunze had no choice but to put aside the matter regarding Tie Ta and let Patriarch Ming bring the flying carpet over.
"Alright, with this thing, the flying carpet is very different!" Liu Yunze placed Daoist Kusong's staff onto the flying magic formation on the flying carpet, and then closed his eyes. The spiritual energy within Daoist Ku Song's cane had to be controlled by a cultivator before it could be integrated into the flying magic formation. This was not a simple task. It would take a very long time to manipulate.
After looking at it for a long time, Patriarch Ming finally said, "It doesn't seem to have any effect at all!"
After about half an incense's time, the complex flying array began to glow with bursts of silvery white light. Spiritual energy had an extraordinary ability to control, and this ability could greatly help him while he was on the road of cultivation.
A thought appeared in Zhang Kuang Jian and Patriarch Ming's minds at the same time. Just who is this little Qi Cultivation stage cultivator before them? He could actually do such a thing. It had to be known that Daoist Ku Song was only able to seal his spiritual energy within the cane while Liu Yunze was able to use all the spiritual energy in the cane to store the flying carpet.
"Alright, let's cut the crap. Let's go!" After saying goodbye to Li, Liu Yunze stepped onto the flying carpet.
With a swish, the flying carpet tore through the air and flew straight into the sky.
"This speed is double the previous speed!" Ancestor Ming said in surprise.
Zhang Kuangjian nodded his head. Forefather Netherworld was right, the flying carpet's speed was indeed much faster. Moreover, it did not waste any of their spiritual energy. He only needed to have a precise control over the spiritual energy.
"Although the spiritual energy inside Daoist Ku Song's cane is quite abundant, we still need to replenish it." Liu Yunze said. If he were to use the spiritual energy within the cane like this, he would have to inject it within five days. However, this wasn't a difficult matter. He just needed to use forefather underworld's spirit energy. This way, he would be able to reach the Absolute Soul Ridge half the time.
Guo Guo who was inside the Heaven and Earth Pouch rested her chin on her claws as she stared at little Tie Ta. Beside the tower was the golden python's beast core. Streams of red demonic energy floated out from the beast core and was then absorbed by the small pagoda. Strangely, this small iron tower was able to absorb the demonic energy within. This was something that confused it.
"A small pagoda that can absorb demonic energy is, no matter what, an extraordinary thing. However, this god has great abilities and doesn't know the origin of this thing. It really is strange, weird!" Guo Guo mumbled. Liu Yunze's luck was quite good. Merely by helping the villagers escape, he was able to obtain such a strange item. But no matter what, those that were able to absorb demonic spiritual energy were definitely not ordinary. As a result, the demonic spiritual energy that was originally required for 47 days was naturally eliminated. At this speed, it only required three days.
Just at this moment, all of the demonic energy was extracted from the demonic core and sent into the small pagoda.
"It's been absorbed so quickly!" Guo Guo looked at the small pagoda in surprise. Suddenly, one of the ancient treasures that he had once heard of appeared in his mind.
The Linglong Demon Pagoda!
The Linglong Demon Pagoda was an ancient treasure; it was said that it had already appeared when the world was first created. Absorbing the natural spiritual energy could absorb and refine the demonic energy on its own. It was one of the ten great ancient treasures.
At that moment, the pagoda that was absorbing demonic energy started to emit a dazzling golden light. Within the light, a small crystal clear pagoda appeared in front of Guo Guo's eyes.
"That's impossible, right? "You can even do that?" Guo Guo stared blankly at the small pagoda.
Guo Guo told Liu Yunze about her discovery.
Liu Yunze stared blankly for a moment, then embraced the Netherworld Ancestor beside him and burst out laughing.
Grandmaster Ming and Zhang Kuangjian had a strange look at each other, not understanding what Liu Yunze was so happy about.
