Beast-controlling fairy clan

Wanrenjian Cave.

Since confirming that he can withstand the power of Gengjin in the Wanren Sword Cave, Zhou Chun has lived the life of an ascetic monk.

He spends most of the year in the Ten Thousand Ren Sword Cave, absorbing the power of the Geng Gold and refining it to purify his own mana.

Only when his body sends a signal of fatigue, he will temporarily leave for a few days and rest in the secret palace outside.

During his rest days, Zhou Chun was also curious and had some exchanges with Hou Bin and other monks in the secret palace, and thus learned a lot of useful information for him.

According to Hou Bin, God Taigeng and his incarnation rarely come to this secret mansion to practice, and they just retain the ownership of this secret mansion.

Most of the monks in the secret palace like Hou Bin and others were marginal figures in the original sect. Due to various reasons, there was no possibility of advancement in their own sect.

Therefore, whenever monks are sent to the Secret Mansion, their sects will send notices to marginalized figures like them and ask for their opinions.

As long as anyone is willing to come to the Secret Mansion to practice, they will all be given a spiritual object that can help them break through to the great realm. Of course, the highest level is limited to pill-forming spiritual objects!

So when these people come here, it can be said that it is their own choice and no one is forcing them.

At the same time, because of the special nature of the formation in the Secret Mansion, unless a steward-level figure like Hou Bin betrays him, even if other monks regret it, they will not be able to truly escape from the Secret Mansion.

What's more, with the intimidation of the god-transforming venerable, no one really thinks they can escape!

And they didn't really mean to die of old age in the secret palace.

According to the rules set by the Lord Tai Geng, when they have one-tenth of their lifespan left, they can leave the Secret Mansion and live the life they want, but they must not reveal the location of the Secret Mansion.

But even if they really leaked the location of the Secret Palace, with the strength of the Secret Palace's protective formation, there was actually no need to worry about anything happening.

If there really is such a powerful late-stage Nascent Soul monk coming over, Hou Bin only needs to show up and explain the situation, and the other party will take care of it and retreat honestly, and by the way, the guy who leaked the news will be silenced!

Zhou Chun also specially remembered the names of those sects for this reason, and planned to give some advice to the family monks after returning to avoid conflicts with those sects.

After all, a sect that can be recognized by God Tai Geng must have an extraordinary relationship with it. The Zhou family is also a member of God Tai Geng now, so of course they cannot have conflicts with people from the same camp.

And the effect of practicing in Wanren Sword Cave is indeed very good.

Much of Zhou Chun's magic power was improved by relying on the power of elixirs, and it was not as solid as a monk who practiced step by step.

Now, with the help of the power of Gengjin in the Wanren Sword Cave, the quality of his magic power has been greatly improved while the total amount remains unchanged, almost as much as that of a mid-stage Nascent Soul monk.

With the quality of mana greatly improved in this way, the originally unshakable realm barrier can be shaken a little.

If this continues, as long as the impact continues as the Lord Tai Geng said, sooner or later the realm barrier will be broken through.

After his ability to withstand the Gengjin power in the Wanren Sword Cave improved, Zhou Chun also gradually went deeper into the cave.

As he went deeper into the cave, he also knew why this place was called this name.

Because as he went deeper into the cave, Zhou Chun discovered that other things began to appear in the originally empty cave.

There are magic weapons of different styles, mainly flying swords, but also other forms of magic weapons such as swords, guns, swords and halberds.

These magic weapons are inserted into the cave wall or on the ground. Some are intact, while others are incomplete to varying degrees.

Most of the magic weapons he saw at the beginning were low-grade magic weapons, but as Zhou Chun went deeper and deeper, middle-grade magic weapons and even high-grade magic weapons appeared.

At the same time, the deeper you go, the more violent and fierce the power of Geng Metal is. Even Zhou Chun, who has adapted to the power of Geng Metal on the periphery, will still be under great pressure here.

Naturally, if he can practice deeper in the Wanren Sword Cave, the effect will be better.

So in a sense, the Ten Thousand Renjian Cave is indeed a holy place for spiritual practice for monks like Zhou Chun.

As long as they can withstand the damage caused by the Gengjin power here, they can build the supreme foundation here!

After discovering this, Zhou Chun was no longer anxious to break through the realm barrier. He just wanted to see how far he could go in the Ten Thousand Ren Sword Cave!

And as time went by, Zhou Chun was not only satisfied with purifying his own magic power, he also used the abundant power of Geng Metal here to practice his own magical powers and secret techniques.

Like the [Phaseless Geng Gold Divine Light] magical power, after absorbing and refining the power of Geng Gold deep in the Wanren Sword Cave, the progress is very gratifying.

Even the magical power of [Luobao Golden Light] seems to have benefited from the purity of Zhou Chun's mana, and his cultivation progress has been greatly improved.

The opportunity was rare. Under such circumstances, Zhou Chun decisively chose to practice a metal magical power that he had never set foot in before.

This magical power is called [Heavenly Gold Dharma Body], and it is a magical power that focuses on strengthening physical defense.

But it is not the kind of body-refining magical power, but a serious method-cultivating magical power.

Practitioners of this magical power need to use secret methods to collect gold energy and condense it into "the essence of heavenly gold", which is stored in the Dantian.

After enough "Heavenly Gold Essence" is stored, you can use the [Heavenly Gold Body] magical power.

During the period of the blessing of the magical power of [Heavenly Golden Dharma Body], the monk's physical body will be as hard as a magic weapon or even a spiritual treasure, and its defense power will even exceed that of body-refining monks of the same level, and it will be immune to or greatly enhanced by the erosion of alien powers!

Zhou Chun had never practiced the [Heavenly Gold Body] magical power before, mainly because high-quality gold energy was rare.

And if the "Essence of Heavenly Gold" is condensed with low-quality gold energy, I don't know how much gold energy and time it will take to condense it!

He had not spent enough time meditating and practicing before, so how could he be willing to spend that much time cultivating this magical power.

After all, he has the secret technique of "Beast Spirit Fusion Technique", which allows him to merge with the demon king's spiritual pet with a powerful body like Fushan Jun at any time, and he also has the secret technique of "The Art of Transforming Spirits of the Universe" to deflect the damage he suffers. For the [Tianjin Technique] The demand for physical fitness is not that strong.

Now I choose to practice this magical power purely because the power of Gengjin in the Wanren Sword Cave is inexhaustible and it is extremely high-grade gold energy. It is easier to condense it into the "Essence of Heavenly Gold".

In this way, he is naturally happy to practice more magical powers that can improve his ability to survive at critical moments.

As the saying goes, a day in the cave means a thousand years in the world!

Unknowingly, Zhou Chun practiced in the Wanren Sword Cave for nine years.

On this day, Zhou Chun, who was meditating in the Wanren Sword Cave, suddenly seemed to hear a "click" sound, and then the realm barrier that had been blocking his breakthrough suddenly shattered!

Without the obstruction of the realm barrier, the magic power in Zhou Chun's body suddenly circulated rapidly, and a powerful suction force came out of his body, sucking in the nearby spiritual energy of the world like a thirsty one.

Since only the violent Gengjin power existed in the Wanren Sword Cave, a large amount of Gengjin power was absorbed into Zhou Chun's body.

He had already adapted to the power of Geng Metal here, but now due to the influx of too much Geng Metal power at once, his meridians began to feel tearing pain again.

Fortunately, he has encountered this kind of tearing of meridians many times over the years, and he is not panicking at all at this time. While running his exercises with all his strength to refine the power of Gengjin that poured into his body, and stabilize his own realm, he also uses the help of The natal magic weapon [Ten Thousand Transformations Golden Cauldron] controls the amount of Geng Metal power nearby.

"Is this the middle stage of Nascent Soul?"

I don't know how long later, Zhou Chun woke up from meditating. He carefully realized his own changes, and not only showed a satisfied smile.

After breaking through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, his total mana increased by almost 50%. As his cultivation level increases in the future, his mana will continue to grow, and his spiritual consciousness will also achieve a great breakthrough.

I saw his spiritual consciousness being released. Not far away, a silver flying sword magic weapon was inserted into the cave wall. It was immediately forcibly pulled out by the invisible power of spiritual consciousness. Then, without the use of mana, It started flying up and down in the cave.

After playing with the flying sword in this way, Zhou Chun returned it intact to its original location.

Then his consciousness moved, and a white sword shadow shot out from between his eyebrows, hovering a few feet in front of him.

Looking carefully, the white sword shadow turned out to be a flying sword that seemed to be carved from crystal, emitting a faint white light.

Zhou Chun raised his hand to fish it out, but his palm penetrated the flying sword, as if the flying sword was just an illusion!

But any Nascent Soul Stage monk would not think so after seeing this scene.

When they saw this scene, they could only blurt out in shock: "Spiritual thoughts turned into crystals!"

Yes, spiritual thoughts are transformed into crystals, or spiritual consciousness is transformed into form!

When one's cultivation has reached the late stage of Nascent Soul, his spiritual consciousness is extremely powerful and he can interfere with reality with his spiritual consciousness. His thoughts turn into crystals and are visible to the naked eye.

If an ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator were to fight against a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, the mere collision of their spiritual consciousness would cause them to suffer a lot, and they would be completely crushed!

Those with a cultivation level below the Nascent Soul stage don’t even have the ability to stand in front of a great monk in the late Nascent Soul stage!

As long as the great monks in the late Nascent Soul stage are willing, they can set off a spiritual storm at any time and forcibly disperse the consciousness of those monks who have cultivated below the Nascent Soul stage, turning them all into unconscious dementia.

Generally speaking, only those who have reached the late Nascent Soul stage in cultivation can achieve the transformation of spiritual consciousness.

However, there are also a very small number of talented immortal cultivators who have strengthened their spiritual consciousness and the origin of their souls through various adventures and secret methods, and can do this even in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

For example, Nangong Qingwu, whom Zhou Chun was very familiar with, had achieved the transformation of his spiritual consciousness when he was in the middle stage of Nascent Soul!

And Zhou Chun has now achieved this step.

For monks in the Nascent Soul stage, the most important benefit of spiritual consciousness taking form is not the ability to attack, but the ability to understand and understand the laws of heaven and earth.

The monks who have transformed their spiritual consciousness can vaguely see the operation of the laws of heaven and earth.

The avenue is invisible and cannot be touched.

A monk whose spiritual consciousness is not strong enough has no chance to glimpse the operation of the laws of heaven and earth. In essence, the way he looks at everything in the world is not much different from that of ordinary people.

However, in the eyes of monks with strong spiritual consciousness, the movement of everything in the world has its own rules and is affected by the laws of the great road.

At this point, it is possible to truly "enlighten the Tao" and you can truly call yourself a seeker!

For example, at this moment, Zhou Chun calmed down, let go of his spiritual consciousness, carefully perceived the outside world, and suddenly had a different feeling.

The environment has not changed, but the same environment seems different now.

The omnipresent Gengjin power could only perceive their existence and their surge before.

Now I can get a glimpse of their existence, see where they flow, where the power of Geng Metal is stronger, and I can even vaguely see why the power of Geng Metal is stronger in some places than in other places.

Looking at the magic weapons in the cave, under his spiritual observation, each magic weapon can see the spiritual brilliance covered by its own spiritual power. Through the strength of the spiritual brilliance, the strength of the magic weapon can be judged.

Generally speaking, not to mention the best magic weapons, the stronger the spirituality of the magic weapon, the higher the grade.

Even among the best magic weapons, the stronger the spirituality of the magic weapon, the more likely it is to transform and be promoted to a spiritual treasure.

Moreover, because the power of Geng Metal here also hindered the spiritual consciousness, Zhou Chun was unable to use his own spiritual consciousness to glimpse the deepest scene of the Wanren Sword Cave.

Now, with his breakthrough in cultivation, his consciousness has skyrocketed, and the scene deep in the cave has also emerged in his mind.

In the deepest part of the cave, there is a circular nine-story sword platform, with a total of 108 intact flying swords inserted on it.

Among the one hundred and eight flying swords, the worst one is a top-grade magic weapon.

Among them, there are as many as twenty-four top-grade magical flying swords!

In addition, there are five Lingbao-level flying swords among them!

At the top and center of the entire sword platform, there is a golden sword inserted.

This sword, on the other hand, is not as dazzling and exudes a sharp aura as those Lingbao Flying Swords and top-grade Magical Flying Swords.

It has an introverted aura, barely emitting any aura to the outside world, and no sword light is revealed.

But its location made it impossible for Zhou Chun to ignore its existence!

Considering that the five Lingbao Flying Swords can only be ranked below it, then its true grade is undoubtedly about to be revealed!

"I didn't expect that there would be such a treasure hidden in the Ten Thousand Ren Sword Cave!"

"Senior Lord Tai Geng trusts me too much. Aren't he afraid that I will take away this sword and disappear without a trace?"

Zhou Chun looked at the location of the sword platform deep in the cave with a shocked expression, his eyes filled with wonder.

If you don't count the divine object [Jing Tian Earth Divine Jar], this is the first time he has directly looked at a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure at such a close range.

I saw that about one-third of the long sword was inserted into the sword platform, and only two-thirds including the hilt was visible.

The shape of its hilt is also very unique, it is a golden eagle head with spread wings.

Looking carefully, there are feather-like patterns on the golden sword body. It seems that this sword is made from the feathers of some kind of divine bird!

Zhou Chun watched so intently that his consciousness could not help but wrap around the long sword, as if he wanted to take a closer look, and as if he wanted to try to get more information about the sword.

But he soon paid the price for his reckless behavior!

ah!

A scream suddenly resounded throughout the Wanren Sword Cave, and Zhou Chun fell to the ground. He couldn't help but hold his head with both hands, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Just now, after his consciousness wrapped around the long sword, it seemed as if he had disturbed a sleeping terrifying existence. A sharp sword intent suddenly erupted, following the connection of his consciousness and striking at his soul. , almost split him in half with one sword strike!

That was the first time he encountered such a powerful divine soul attack. Even the powerful divine soul attack that he met at the beginning of the Heavenly Soul Clan was far inferior to this sword intention.

If it weren't for the qualitative change in his spiritual consciousness after he broke through the middle stage of Nascent Soul and reached the realm of spiritual consciousness in advance, the injuries left by this sword will would have taken him tens or even hundreds of years to recover!

And even with his now powerful consciousness, this sword still caused him a lot of damage.

After calming down for a while, Zhou Chun endured the pain as if his head was about to split and quickly left the Wanren Sword Cave.

In his current state, he is not suitable to continue practicing here.

After returning to his residence outside, Zhou Chun hurriedly patted the storage bag on his waist and took out the spiritual ointment produced by the "Soul-Cleaning Water Demon" that he had obtained from the Blood Flame Dragon King's magical artifact.

After identification and testing, this substance was confirmed to be able to cleanse and nourish the soul.

The sword intent now remains in his soul. If he only relies on himself to slowly dispel and resolve the sword intent, he doesn't know how long it will take and how much suffering he will suffer.

Naturally, he didn't want to suffer that sin in vain.

At this time, he smeared the spiritual ointment on his forehead, and a cool air suddenly poured into the Zifu Sea of ​​​​Consciousness.

Under the washing and washing of this cool air, the sword intention that remained in his soul was washed away bit by bit.

After using up half of the spiritual ointment in his hand, Zhou Chun finally dispelled the sword intent and wiped it away.

But the damage to the soul obviously did not recover so quickly.

Although he didn't have treasures that could restore soul damage, he still couldn't bear to use those treasures in this situation.

After all, he doesn't have to rush to fight with others now. Even if he rests for a few years, he can recover from his injuries.

"[Dapeng Lingxiao Sword], is this the name of that sword?"

In the quiet room, Zhou Chun raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, muttering to himself.

Even after receiving that sword blow before, he didn't gain anything.

When the sword intent penetrated his soul, the sword spirit who struck him with the sword was also awakened from his deep sleep by him, and declared his family in a rage, thus letting him know the name of the sword.

And since the sword spirit still exists and can release sword intent to kill him, it means that the sword must still be a intact heaven-reaching spiritual treasure and not a defective item that has fallen down the grade!

I just don’t know why the Lord Tai Geng would let such a treasure stay in the Wanren Sword Cave instead of refining it and using it himself.

Even if Lord Tai Geng already possesses a flying sword at the level of a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, his incarnation can still use it!

If his avatar possesses this [Dapeng Lingxiao Sword], in the previous battle with the monster clan, both the "Golden Xuan Saint Grandson" and the ice and fire demon ape should be able to kill easily. Into the latter situation!

Zhou Chun couldn't understand this, but he also knew that most of it had deep meanings that he didn't know.

At that moment, he also laughed at himself and said: "The actions of the venerable gods in the transformation stage have their own considerations, so I don't have to worry about it!"

Then he calmed down to recuperate.

In the following time, Zhou Chun discovered other benefits that the realm of spiritual consciousness brought to him.

For example, he had never been able to practice the secret method of "Dayan Tianji Jue" before. Now after practicing it again, he can easily master it!

Once this secret technique is successfully practiced, it will be difficult for those secret magical powers that track and lock one's own soul to have an effect easily.

He can even use this secret method to deduce secrets and find people and objects!

At the same time, because of the surge in spiritual consciousness, his "Golden Escape" magical power also improved bravely again and became even easier to use.

The rest of the magical powers, such as [Phaseless Geng Gold Divine Light], [Geng Gold Cracking Thunder], [Lost Treasure Gold Light], and [Heavenly Gold Dharma Body], are all due to the surge in his spiritual awareness, power, and obvious progress in cultivation. Got expedited.

After discovering this, Zhou Chun was not in a hurry to leave this secret mansion immediately.

"Calculating the time, Ying'er should have gone into seclusion and given birth to a baby by now, and the ancestor's longevity can still last for decades. It doesn't matter if I stay in seclusion here for another ten or eight years."

"This opportunity is rare. After missing this opportunity, if you want to come to this Wanren Sword Cave to practice again, Senior Tai Geng God may not agree!"

Zhou Chun's eyes flickered, and after thinking carefully, he got rid of distracting thoughts and continued to practice here.

In the following time, Zhou Chun mainly focused on refining the power of Geng Metal to improve his cultivation level, and the cultivation of secret magic and supernatural powers was a little behind. After all, cultivation level is the foundation of a monk.

In this way, one year of training in the Wanren Sword Cave is equivalent to three or four years of training in his own cave on Kunwu Mountain, and the magical power he has improved through training is extremely solid and pure.

Under his constant refining and consumption, the total amount of Gengjin power in the Wanren Sword Cave also began to feel a decrease. Obviously, the power of Gengjin was not endless.

Before the incarnation of God Tai Geng, he said that this place has not been opened for more than two hundred years, which is why it can accumulate such a strong power of Geng Gold.

If it weren't for giving Zhou Chun a chance, the power of Geng Jin should have been absorbed and refined by the Tai Geng God himself.

Even for a cultivator in the Divine Transformation Stage like him, directly absorbing and refining the rich power of Geng Metal can slightly improve his cultivation.

However, Zhou Chun's good days did not last long.

Just in the third year after he broke through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, the true form of Tai Geng God suddenly came to this secret palace.

"As a junior like you, if I don't come, are you going to drain all the Gengjin power from the Wanren Sword Cave in one go before you give up?"

In the Wanren Sword Cave, the body of Taigeng God suddenly broke into the place. After seeing Zhou Chun meditating in the deepest part of the cave, his eyes narrowed, and then he looked at him with a half-smile and tortured him.

Hearing his torture from the soul, Zhou Chun was filled with embarrassment and didn't know how to answer, so he had to bite the bullet and lower his head and replied: "Senior Tai Geng, forgive me. Since I embarked on the path of spiritual practice, I have never tried I have advanced so quickly through cultivation that I felt a little too lost and intoxicated for a while!”

This answer made Lord Taigeng laugh dumbly. He couldn't help but wave his hands and said: "Forget it, there is no need to explain so forcefully. Since I asked you to come here to practice, I am not prepared to hold you responsible."

After speaking, he warned him in a solemn tone: "However, you cannot absorb and refine all the power of Geng Gold in the Wanren Sword Cave, otherwise the many magic weapons inside will lose their power of Geng Gold. It’s going to be a lot of damage!”

"Yes, I understand. I am deeply grateful to Senior Tai Geng for his kindness!"

Zhou Chun breathed a sigh of relief, nodded in response, and sincerely expressed his gratitude to the Lord Tai Geng with a deep bow.

"Hey, this [Dapeng Lingxiao Sword] seems to have awakened. Did you awaken it?"

At this moment, Lord Taigeng looked at Zhou Chun with surprise and asked questions, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

Hearing what he said, Zhou Chun did not dare to hide it, so he could only answer honestly: "Senior Tai Geng, forgive me. When I made a breakthrough in cultivation before, my spiritual consciousness increased greatly. I was curious and tried to get the information about this sword. I never wanted to offend the sleeping sword spirit inside, and was struck by the sword intent released by it!"

Upon hearing this, Lord Tai Geng immediately smiled and said, "Then the taste of this sword must be unpleasant!"

"Senior Tai Geng has a keen eye. If it weren't for the younger generation's spiritual consciousness being quite strong, and if there were spiritual beings to resolve the remaining sword intent, I'm afraid he would still be recuperating outside in the quiet room right now!"

Zhou Chun replied in a low voice with a wry smile, and there was a hint of fear in his tone.

"Well, the state of spiritual consciousness incarnation is indeed better than that of most monks in the middle stage of Yuanying. With this powerful spiritual consciousness, if you attack the barrier of the late stage of Yuanying in the future, you can increase your chances of winning by 10%!"

Lord Tai Geng nodded slightly, not seeming to be very surprised that Zhou Chun had reached the state of divine consciousness taking form.

Then he shook his head and said: "You are really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. This [Dapeng Lingxiao Sword] is not a good thing. If it didn't know that you can practice here, it must have got my permission. I'm afraid." It’s not just as simple as killing you with a sword intent level!”

"Senior Tai Geng, why don't you refine this sword?"

After Zhou Chun hesitated for a moment, he couldn't help but ask the question in his mind.

Hearing his question, Lord Taigeng's eyes suddenly flashed, he shook his head slightly and said: "It's not necessary. For me, one more flying sword will not qualitatively improve my strength. Besides, the one in my hand is [Celestial Soul-Slaying Sword] is more suitable for me!"

"And if this sword were not suppressed here, the Wanren Sword Cave would not be as useful as it is now. Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is better not to move it!"

Is it like this?

Zhou Chun was a little hesitant and felt that the two reasons given by Tai Geng were a bit far-fetched and might not be the real reasons.

But being able to give him an answer is already a great honor for the Lord Taigeng. Naturally, he will not go any further and ask the other party for the truth.

Immediately he responded: "Junior understands. Thank you, Senior Tai Geng, for clearing up my doubts."

"Okay, please leave here with me first. I happened to have brought the spiritual treasure that you entrusted me to refine."

Lord Taigeng waved his hand, then took the lead and turned around to walk out of the cave.
