C84 Cementitis(part ii)
In yin beast king's eyes, this was already a miracle, and even more so unfathomable.
The Changmen Niepo he saw when he entered his peak state from cultivating truly made people jealous. It's also no wonder that this guy could reach the Soul Refinement Realm at the age of twenty. Reaching the Soul Refinement Realm before the age of twenty is extremely rare. If it was 18 years ago, it would be extremely rare.
Although the Body Tempering Realm was the lowest realm, it was also the hardest to cultivate in the entire realm. Especially the few small breakthroughs after Body Forging Sixth Grade, some people had already made countless small breakthroughs, and were already unable to touch that barrier.
"Eighteen at the latest!" yin beast king concluded, "This kid will be able to step into the Soul Refinement Realm by the age of eighteen."
Following the infusion of the Exemplary Immortal's spirit energy, the spirit energy around Changmen Niepo also began to surge more and more quickly. Looking at the degree of the surging, it was as if the slightest bit of carelessness would cause it to be like a flood that broke through a dam. But, even though it looked like this, Changmen Niepo had controlled it very well.
Amidst danger and danger, it was not without its stability.
Suddenly, Changmen Niepo's body trembled slightly, and a bizarre sound seemed to have emerged from the depths of his soul. That strange sound was like a thin layer of glass breaking when it was said. It was this thin strip of energy that seemed to break apart as an unprecedented power rushed into his dantian and flowed through his Jing and Mai.
And this power, compared to when he borrowed the power from the Aunt Qing, was much weaker, to the point where he didn't even have a bit of power left over from the ice mountain. However, that familiarity, that intimacy, that even … In short, Changmen Niepo knew that he had broken through to the Soul Refinement Realm.
Even though relying on the Exemplary Immortal during Soul Refinement Realm was only a temporary breakthrough. However, this was the first time Changmen Niepo truly felt the difference between her Soul Refinement Realm and the Body Tempering realm. Even if one were to step half a step into the Soul Refinement Realm, it would be impossible to completely compare to pure Soul Refinement Realm.
The surrounding spiritual energy was still being poured in, unceasingly being poured in. Changmen Niepo had only temporarily stepped into the Soul Refinement Realm at this moment, and there was still some distance to go before he reached the third stage of the Soul Refining Realm. Of course, Changmen Niepo also truly felt that the increase in every grade of Soul Refinement Realm was not something that could be compared to Body Tempering.
Although it was just his intuition, Changmen Niepo was still able to perceive that each level of Soul Refinement Realm was practically equal to several times the amount of spirit energy needed to raise the three levels of Body Tempering.
"Soul refining is only a stage higher than Body Tempering. If it's already like this, then what's above …" Changmen Niepo found it hard to imagine. If he cultivated, would he be able to pass the heavenly tribulation, or even use his fingers to count the number of people who had entered the Saint realm? It was no wonder that there were people who would never be able to break through to the Soul Refining stage in their entire lives. Some would cultivate immortality or transcend tribulation, and there were even people who would never be able to break through to the Body Tempering stage in their entire lives.
"Hu!"
The turbid Qi slowly came out from the depths of his soul, causing Changmen Niepo to stop thinking about it.
"Focus!" Focus! "Focus!"
The sounds of focus also came from the depths of his soul, and in that instant, everyone felt Changmen Niepo's guilt. It was as though he was a black hole, with an unfathomable depth, constantly absorbing the spirit energy from the past history of the Exemplary Immortal.
"The spirit energy in this Exemplary Immortal is indeed not the same." Sensing the spirit energy, he only felt that in four to five minutes, he had easily broken through the first stage of the Soul Refinement Realm. In an instant, Changmen Niepo actually revealed a trace of helplessness.
He knew very well that although it was very easy to break through to the first grade of Soul Refining, to the point that it was third grade Soul Refining. However, when everything was gone, when everything needed him to support himself, it was not that simple.
Of course, the only thing that Changmen Niepo gained from this was that at least he had experienced the feeling of breaking through to the Soul Refinement Realm once in advance. With this feeling, he was sure that when he broke through, he would be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort.
Absorb, absorb, absorb … It continuously absorbed the spiritual energy that was crazily gushing into his chest. His mind sank into the deepest recesses of his soul again and again. At the same time, Changmen Niepo felt as if all the pores on his body had opened up, unrestrainedly absorbing and greedily absorbing the spirit energy around him.
...
Time seemed to have slipped away unwittingly from the tips of his fingers like the trickle of a river. No one noticed it at all. could not feel any of these, but he could feel it. No, he was nearing the third grade of Soul Refining.
Perhaps, this was different from borrowing power. After all, the power borrowed was someone else's. It was just that he could control it. But this time, he had also borrowed the strength of others to raise his cultivation to the third grade of Soul Refining.
The only difference was that the rank 3 soul refining was the spiritual energy in his body, not someone else's. That was why Changmen Niepo felt that it was somewhat different, and also felt that it was rather familiar.
His realm was still improving, still increasing rapidly, still heading towards his final destination, the third grade Soul Refining martial artist.
Looking at Changmen Niepo who had directly broken through to the third stage of the Soul Refining Realm, and looking at the extremely pure and shocked spiritual energy in his body, he did not know how long it had been since he last saw such a pure spiritual energy. That green aura and its green color was incredibly pure from the inside.
Facing the final step, Changmen Niepo was even more greedy. Looking again, from Changmen Niepo's Dantian, the spirals of spirit energy around him were like the rings on a tree. The older the tree, the more rings there are. At this time, the rings of spirit energy whirlpools on Changmen Niepo's Dantian were like rings of years.
At some point later, everyone heard a long sigh, "Hu!"
"Is it over?"
Looking at the Yin Emperor which had stopped attacking, and then looking at the rich spirit energy around Changmen Niepo, he realized that he was already at the peak of the third stage of the Soul Refining Realm.
Immediately, Changmen Niepo's mind could not help but exhale a mouthful of non-existent air, as a hint of excitement and wild joy emerged on his face as well. He could feel the soul refining tertiary stage. Its spirit energy flowed through his eight extraordinary meridians and traveled through every part of his body. Every piece of bone and flesh seemed to have completely transformed, giving off an indescribable feeling.
"This is how Soul Refinement Realm feels?"
Tasting the feeling of Soul Refinement Realm carefully, compared to borrowing the power of the Aunt Qing, it was indeed much weaker. However, the only difference was that this power belonged to him, belonged entirely to him, even though it was only a temporary existence.
After everything was completed, the moment everything disappeared, Changmen Niepo who was seated cross-legged on the ground behind the tombstone suddenly opened his eyes. In an instant, the airflow around him moved without any wind, and his clothes billowed without any wind. A domineering aura that was dozens to hundreds of times stronger spread out from his body as if it was awakening.
After opening his eyes, Changmen Niepo could finally be considered to have ended his temporary increase in strength. Changmen Niepo did not stand up in a hurry. Instead, he slowly closed his eyes and carefully felt the strength that was growing stronger and stronger in his body.
"It seems that this boy is not stupid. He did not lose his head over the sudden surge of strength!" Seeing that Changmen Niepo who had previously opened his eyes and now had his eyes closed, Yin Emperor was actually a little surprised.
At such a young age, he wouldn't be knocked unconscious by such a strong and sudden force and would lose his self-awareness. This was quite a rare sight. Forget about Changmen Niepo who was only in his teens right now, even some of the older people might have forgotten themselves when they suddenly obtained great power.
Yin Emperor's words confused Nu Xue who was not far away. What did this mean, that he was not blinded by the sudden surge in power? Could it be that there was some deeper meaning behind this?
Qing Ming, who was always by Nu Xue's side, naturally saw through what Nu Xue was thinking and could not help but pat Nu Xue, and lightly said: "Brat, it's actually very simple, you rushed from the Body Forging Sixth Grade all of a sudden to the third level of the Soul Refining Stage, separated by four levels, and there is still a realm difference between these four levels. If Little Nirvana stage were to descend into the tomb, even if you gave him a raise of your strength to the transcending the level of tribulation today, he would still die, wouldn't he?
Hearing that, after some more detailed thinking, Nu Xue finally understood everything. Indeed, it was as Qing Ming, one of the Three Great Demon Kings, had said. Even if he raised his transcending the level of tribulation, if he went down the tomb immediately, it would only be a dead end.
Everyone looked at Changmen Niepo who had closed his eyes once again, and looked forward to the next time he would open them. Because the next time he opened his eyes, it was time to go down the grave, to barge into the Exemplary Immortal's tomb on his own.
Chang Meniepo who had already closed his eyes and was observing the eight odd meridians in his body, the acupoints all over his body, they were all feeling it, but he was getting used to the sudden increase in his strength.
Truly extraordinary, not to mention a third grade Refining Soul Master. Just as Changmen Niepo had suppressed it when it had just reached Soul Refinement Realm, there was a heaven and earth difference between it and Body Forging Sixth Grade. The familiar feeling of the past had become somewhat unfamiliar.
"Growing seedlings to help promote the survival of the fittest." Suddenly, this phrase popped out in Changmen Niepo's mind. It seemed like that was true. No matter where it was, there was no such thing as a free lunch.
On the small empty ground, circle after circle of green spirit energy spiraled around Changmen Niepo. If one looked carefully, one would see that the green aura was entering and exiting from the ring. This was because the green spirit energy circling around Changmen Niepo's body had a connection belt with his dantian that was even more absorbed than the threads. These bindings were an important link for the green-colored spirit energy to enter and exit. They were also an important crux for Changmen Niepo to adapt to the spirit energy he had acquired as soon as possible.
As time passed, the sun had already set. No one would have thought that the increase in Body Forging Sixth Grade to the third stage of Soul Refining would take at least a few dozen minutes. But now, it actually took several hours for her Body Forging Sixth Grade to adapt to the Soul Refining tertiary stage in an instant. Now, as the sun was setting in the west, the sunset rays of light also began to think about this forest.
Everything was quiet, everything was quiet, and the moment the last strand of green Spirit Qi went in and out, Changmen Niepo's breathing had started to change.
"Is it done?"
Following that, just as the Exemplary Immortal in front of the tombstone finished speaking, Changmen Niepo slowly opened her eyes.
It was as if Changmen Niepo had also heard the question, and nodded his head immediately after. He then stood up and walked towards the tombstone, with his right hand pointing towards the sword, he lightly tapped on a curved spot at the top of the tombstone.
It was only for that instant, and the entire tombstone was covered in green spirit energy. However, at that moment, Changmen Niepo, who was in front of everyone just a moment ago, seemed to have never appeared before them and disappeared without a trace.
