Demon Cultivator: Heaven and earth are the cauldron, and all living beings are the medicine

The Sea of Slaughter, within the Dreamscape, on the second level.

At this moment, Ning Lu's figure was seen suspended in a space resembling the cosmos, sitting cross-legged with his eyes tightly closed.

He was concentrating fully, using the Primordial Ancient Cauldron to refine a large amount of golden divine consciousness, transforming it into dense streams of blood energy to help improve his cultivation.

Now, within this second level of the Dreamscape, Ning Lu was like an emperor, possessing tens of thousands of divine consciousnesses with cultivation as high as the Core Formation stage, allowing him to control the weather and manipulate events!

He clearly divided the labor, throwing half of the divine consciousnesses into the Primordial Ancient Cauldron for refinement, thereby greatly accelerating his cultivation speed!

The remaining divine consciousnesses, threatened by his aura of death, were firmly controlled by him and dispatched to wander throughout this world, constantly searching for orbs of iridescent light to speed up the creation of dream shards.

At this moment, a wisp of golden divine consciousness sped towards Ning Lu, respectfully bowing before him, offering a ball of iridescent light with both hands.

"Hmm, well done! Continue searching, the more the better!"

Ning Lu sensed the aura of the iridescent light, slowly opened his eyes, looked at the divine consciousness before him, filled with respect and fear, nodded slightly, took the light, and continued to exploit the labor of the divine consciousnesses.

He slowly lowered his head, looked at the ball of iridescent light in his hand, and took out the other iridescent lights he had, lost in thought.

"Alas! Before I knew it, I've been in this second level of the Dreamscape for a full half year! Counting the initial ball of iridescent light, now at most, I only have four!

I never expected that even with the power of ten thousand people searching, only three orbs of light have been found in this half year. It seems that finding the initial orb of light was truly a stroke of luck!

But so be it! Fortunately, the flow of time in the dreamscape is extremely fast, fifty years inside is only one day outside! This gives me ample time to cultivate and slowly condense dream shards, which may not be a bad thing!"

Thinking this, Ning Lu felt the mountain-like pressure in his heart ease slightly.

He flipped his hands, began to slowly gather the four balls of iridescent light in his hands, wanting to merge them together.

After a moment, the palms of Ning Lu's hands suddenly flashed with iridescent light, and the four balls of light perfectly merged together, forming a corner of a dream shard.

He looked at the corner of the dream shard before him, nodded with satisfaction, and then put it away.

"Next, I will sit here for decades, waiting for a long time! Although these divine consciousnesses don't have much spiritual energy left, even a mosquito has meat! More refining, more absorption, will eventually allow me to reach the Core Formation stage."

Ning Lu encouraged himself in his heart, closed his eyes again, and absorbed the streams of blood energy emanating from the Primordial Ancient Cauldron.

...

Within the Dreamscape, over forty years later.

At this moment, Ning Lu held more than a hundred balls of iridescent light in his hands, surrounded by hundreds of golden divine consciousnesses standing respectfully.

"Huff!"

Ning Lu exhaled a long breath of turbid air, his gaze fixed on the handful of iridescent light in his palm, and slowly opened his mouth.

"Time truly flies, it passes in an instant! More than forty years have passed in the blink of an eye. With these hundred balls of iridescent light, I can finally completely condense a dream shard!"

The tens of thousands of golden divine consciousnesses, upon seeing this, revealed joy on their faces, bowed to Ning Lu, and then prepared to turn around and leave.

However, the next moment, an icy voice echoed in the world, lingering for a long time!

"Did I say you could leave?"

In an instant, the Primordial Ancient Cauldron in front of Ning Lu burst out with dazzling blood-colored light, instantly sucking all the surrounding golden divine consciousnesses into it!

Upon seeing this, the divine consciousnesses frantically fled into the distance, attempting to escape Ning Lu's clutches.

But even so, the power of the Primordial Ancient Cauldron was now so strong that even if they tried their best, they could not escape!

Within a single breath, the tens of thousands of divine consciousnesses previously beside Ning Lu suddenly disappeared, their forms vanished into thin air, all sucked into the space of the Primordial Ancient Cauldron.

Instantly refined!

"Hmph! A bunch of mindless things, indeed easy to use!"

Ning Lu sneered repeatedly, his hands began to constantly flip, taking advantage of the gap between the Primordial Ancient Cauldron's refining of the divine stones, fully concentrating on condensing the dream shard.

After a moment, a dazzling ball of iridescent light burst out in his hand, a puzzle-shaped dream shard with a majestic aura was born!

In an instant, a five-colored light gate emerged from before Ning Lu's eyes, the aura behind the light gate was even more majestic, obviously the final layer of the Dreamscape!

However, Ning Lu did not rush to enter it, but continued to sit cross-legged, holding the Primordial Ancient Cauldron in his palm, constantly absorbing the blood energy that continued to spread out from it.

After a long time, the blood-colored light of the Primordial Ancient Cauldron dissipated, no longer spreading out streams of blood energy, its aura returned to normal.

At the same time, Ning Lu's aura soared, his strength had a qualitative leap in an instant, the golden core flashing with golden light in his body completely shattered, all transformed into one Core Soul after another!

"More than ten years in Cangyuan Country! Hundreds of years in the Underwater World of the Demon Abyss Sea! Fifty years in the Dreamscape of the Sea of Slaughter! Cultivating until now, a full hundred years, finally, I have become a Core Formation cultivator!"

Ning Lu's eyes were fiery, his tone excited, feeling the majestic aura coming from all over his body.

At this moment, the aura all over his body soared again, and bursts of ancient and majestic dragon roars resounded around him!

The next moment, a golden dragon with a majestic aura soared into the sky from Ning Lu's body, wrapped in extremely sharp sword energy, its body was tens of feet long, its body coiled in the heaven and earth, its eyes respectfully looking at the tiny Ning Lu before it.

"As expected, it was just as I thought! My attainments in the Hidden Dragon Sword Qi Art and the Spring Leaf Supreme Art have already reached the standard! But due to the limitations of my cultivation, I have been slow to comprehend new moves!

This towering golden dragon before me is the third form of the Hidden Dragon Sword Qi Art! River Severance!"

Ning Lu waved his hand, and the huge golden dragon's figure was like thunder, constantly shuttling through this world, charging and crashing!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The large and small meteorites between heaven and earth met the golden dragon and shattered in an instant, just like a cannon hitting a mosquito!

At the same time, wisps of spring breeze and tender leaves lingered around Ning Lu's body, exuding a vigorous vitality.

"Sure enough! With the breakthrough in cultivation, the Spring Leaf Supreme Art also has new moves!"

As soon as the words fell, a majestic spring breeze lingered around his entire body, turning into an emerald green barrier, its defense so terrifying that it was almost impossible to break through below the high level of the Core Formation stage!

"The Spring Leaf Supreme Art has reached great accomplishment, this move is called, Spring Leaf Bodyguard Seal!"
