Do not die

Whenever the old year comes to an end and the new year comes, there will be some special changes in the world.

This is something Meng Zhou has known for a long time.

However, apart from allowing him to harvest more Green Lotus Sword Essence during the first retreat of each new year, this did not bring him any more benefits.

And this time, it was Meng Zhou's first New Year's retreat after the completion of the True Picture of the Bright Moon in the Vast Sea. Meng Zhou finally realized belatedly that the special changes that only occur at the turn of the old and the new every year were related to his own perfection. The wonderful reaction that occurs after the combination of the third-order perfect "three-pole cycle of essence, energy and spirit".

The negative energy accumulated in his body had reached the limit that he could bear at the moment, but he still felt extremely relaxed and could continue to practice.

Meng Zhou, who was used to seeing "big winds and waves", quickly calmed down. It wasn't until the negative energy that continued to accumulate finally reached the limit that he could bear at the moment that he decisively stopped practicing.

Meng Zhou checked what he had gained from this retreat. Although he was prepared, he couldn't help but be shocked after seeing the obvious changes.

After leaving the lotus space, he put the gold-powder twin-pedaled lotus back into the spirit gourd space. He also did some processing on the area, and after erasing all suspicious traces, Meng Zhou left the place.

Thinking of this, Meng Zhou shook his head.

Meng Zhou took a look at the astonishing reserves of the third-level high-grade Green Lotus Sword Marrow in the spirit gourd space, and the little regret in his heart soon disappeared.

Stepping here again, looking at the land stretching to the end of his sight like solid waves, Meng Zhou felt a sense of calmness and calmness in his heart compared to the last time.

Fifty days later, when Meng Zhou completed the production of the last "Wanxiang Pearl" of the year and prepared for the upcoming retreat, the "Wanxiang Pearl" had already gained 75,000 experience points.

One incident after another made this plan aborted.

The only consumption was to give "Qihuangzi" fifty drops of the third-grade high-grade Green Lotus Sword Marrow, and the two together blasted Lian Ziling's fourth-grade body into flying ash.

Whether the time is longer or shorter, for her, it is just a matter of opening and closing her eyes.

Eighty-nine-year-old Meng Zhou ended his retreat and woke up.

But if he was asked to untie it, Meng Zhou, who had just entered the fourth level of the array, talismans, and talismans, expressed his inability to do anything.

In addition, it is also worth mentioning that at the eighth level of elixir formation, the amount of natal living poison that Meng Zhou had absorbed in the monthly soul pool was just enough to make six "transparent round mirrors" and six natal living poison flying swords.

In addition to practicing, his most important task is to prepare for the breakthrough of Nascent Soul.

If you have a choice, the best way is of course to leave these cage-like five realms and find a place like this.

But with this achievement in front of this sky-connecting barrier, he could only barely see a doorway. As for letting him use his hands and feet on it, or even secretly poking a hole so that he could pass through this barrier, That's not even close.

As early as when Meng Zhou's cultivation was still at the eighth level of elixir formation, he would harvest 60 drops of the third-level high-grade Green Lotus Sword Essence every time he went into retreat for the first time in the new year.

Meng Zhou stood up and walked towards the other end of Lotus Space.

Bai Zhi, who was meditating with her eyes closed, opened her eyes, looked at Meng Zhou who was standing in front of her, and asked, "Are you going out?"

From an average of five pills every two days, gaining 2,500 experience points, to an average of six pills every two days, gaining 3,000 experience points, that is, gaining 1,500 experience points every day.

Even so, this change was still a huge surprise to Meng Zhoulai.

In other words, the total reserves of the third-level high-grade Qinglian Sword Marrow in the Spiritual Gourd Space have reached an astonishing 8348 drops.

Thinking of this, Meng Zhou raised his head slightly, looked at the lotus space, looked around the pink lotus petals, and felt a touch of melancholy in his heart.

In the past few decades, Qingxuan Sect implemented many radical plans in Qingxuan Domain, but their original intention was a plan of the five elders of Qingxuan.

The natal living poison that is assimilated into the Menstrual Soul Pond every month has increased by about 50% compared to the eighth level of elixir formation. If converted into physical objects, nine "transparent round mirrors" and nine natal living poison flying swords can be made.

In fact, after completing this, the plan could have been logically advanced to the final step - attacking Qinglin Peak and trying to push it to the fourth level.

In order to increase the success rate of this plan as much as possible, they planned to use those first and second level spiritual pulses to practice.

The harvest from one retreat is worth the previous four.

Although the level improvement this time has further expanded and improved the "Wanxiang Pearl", it is more focused on the simplification of the entire production process and the improvement of proficiency. This makes Meng Zhou make the "Wanxiang Pearl" The efficiency has once again been significantly improved on the original basis.

Later, in order to win over "Qihuangzi", the five elders of Qingxuan took the initiative to share this plan with him.

[Cultivation progress +720, ninth level of elixir formation 2445/10,000]

After breaking through to the ninth level of pill formation, he still harvested so much Qinglian Sword marrow.

…

This time he came to the Realm of Death, and his expectations were not high. Being able to discover this barrier to the sky, the reward has exceeded his lowest expectations.

Meng Zhou originally wanted to tell her that she might stay in the sea of ​​consciousness for a longer time this time.

This barrier is not in the real world, but in the real world.

If you want to break through the Nascent Soul, regardless of other things, a suitable fourth-level spiritual land is a necessary prerequisite.

Obviously, it is very foolish to continue to invest time in the cultivation of the "Wanxiang Pearl".

...

If possible, he is willing to continue to cultivate in this small space.

For this barrier that exists in the real world, the earth has never been an obstacle.

[Cultivation Progress +720, Nine-layer Jindan 3165/10,000]

Looking at the huge barrier in front of him, Meng Zhou's mind emerged with everything he had explored last time around the five domains.

——Before coming, he was mentally prepared to find nothing.

...

But from Bai Zhi's perspective, time had stopped the moment she entered Meng Zhou's sea of ​​consciousness.

Meng Zhou nodded: "Yeah."

Cui Yu Lake and Sanchuanyuan were able to upgrade from a second-level spiritual vein to a third-level spiritual land so easily, and they benefited from this.

[Wanxiang Pearl Great Success 0/800,000]

Already a senior fourth-level lower-grade knot master, his vision of the way of alchemy, weapons, and arrays has also reached the level of a senior fourth-level lower-grade.

And now, Meng Zhou stood near the "circulation point" and looked forward.

"There are masters above the Great Accomplishment, and there are Grandmasters above the Grandmaster, and there is Perfection above the Grandmaster.

--They want to upgrade the third-level spiritual vein Qinglin Peak to a fourth-level spiritual land.

Every year that passes, he is one step closer to the peak of the Jindan stage.

Since leaving Qiyun Peak, until Meng Zhou's cultivation level breaks through to the ninth level of the Jindan stage, that is, at the end of his eighty-fourth year, the number of third-level high-quality Qinglian sword marrow accumulated by Meng Zhou has reached 6128 drops.

"According to the current progress, it will take one and a half years to complete the accumulation of the Great Accomplishment stage. ”

After leaving the place where he had practiced for many years, Meng Zhou first went to the edge of the Five Realms.

——This was the natural improvement in vision brought about by the advancement of the knot master to the fourth level, and the way of elixirs, weapons, talismans and formations all crossed the threshold of the fourth level.

Meng Zhou directly caught all the first and second level spirit veins with upgrade potential within the Qingxuan Realm, and upgraded them all in a very short time.

After studying for a long time, Meng Zhou shook his head with some regret.

——When he just came out of retreat, Meng Zhou immediately confirmed the current time, which was exactly the late night of the 30th day of the first lunar month.

Left and right, up and down, there was no end in sight.

“It seems that harvesting sixty drops in one retreat is the limit. "Meng Zhou thought so in his heart.

[75,000/800,000 of Wanxiangzhu]

Up to now, the reserves of these life-saving poisons deposited in the soul pool are also a very exaggerated amount.

And the means that he originally knew, which condensed the real world of the entire Death Realm into an iron plate and made his "Five Elements Escape" ineffective, is not so mysterious now.

Every time you go up a level, the time you spend basically doubles."

What he is thinking in his heart now is "Can I break this barrier?"

According to his understanding, this is just a "by-product" of this sky-connected barrier, a source from the "radiation field" of this sky-connected barrier.

As for Meng Zhou, at that time, he was just pretending to be at the same level as them, with the peak of Jindan cultivation, but only he knew the actual situation. Under such circumstances, he certainly would not actively promote the upgrade of Qinglin Peak;

In addition, there were changes in the outside world. First, the altar of Lihen Sect attracted their attention, and Guangcheng Patriarch used his life to verify that the virtual god crystal could be seized by force, and then Xingxiu Palace came out of the mountain...

...

With Meng Zhou's current vision, he can see that this sky-reaching barrier contains extremely profound array and talisman concepts.

Meng Zhou naturally thought of the grand plan he heard from the five elders of Qingxuan.

"So, the biggest change is to change the retreat once a season to once a year."

Death Domain.

In order to prove his ability, of course, the more important reason is to create the "True Picture of the Moon in the Vast Sea" practice method and collect more real sample information for the upgrade of the first and second level spirit veins.

Two hundred and eighty days later, on the tenth day of the eleventh month of this year, after gaining 350,000 experience points, the "Wanxiangzhu" completely completed the accumulation of the small success realm and entered the great success realm.

But if the five domains really cannot get out, then they can only find a way within the five domains.

One month later.

After entering the Death Realm, Meng Zhou went deep into the Death Realm for 15,000 miles. This was also the "circulation point" he inferred from his many unique abilities when he explored the Death Realm last time.

Originally, he would retreat once a season, and each retreat would last a little more than nine and a half days, and the retreat time for a year would be about 38 days.

But reality does not allow it.

During this month of retreat, in addition to the improvement of his cultivation progress, another gain was sixty drops of the third-level upper-grade Qinglian Sword Marrow.

Even many of Meng Zhou's subsequent plans and arrangements that had been set long ago were adjusted due to this change.

The ground under his feet has no meaning to this barrier, and it cannot create any obstacles.

After his cultivation level broke through from the eighth level to the ninth level, the average monthly harvest of the third-grade upper-grade Azure Lotus Sword Essence increased from fifty-four drops to sixty drops, and he could obtain 720 drops every year. As of now, he has obtained 2,220 drops.

And as Meng Zhou's cultivation level broke through from the eighth level to the ninth level, his blood, body, life force, sea of ​​consciousness, and soul, and all aspects of his abilities have been further improved.

The two combined, Meng Zhou naturally had a picture in his mind.

The five domains are like a huge egg, and the barrier seen in front of you is like the eggshell of an egg, wrapping the entire five domains.

At that time, Meng Zhou discovered that the seemingly infinite and endless realm of death was actually only fifteen thousand miles away. He relied on reasoning and had no more powerful first-hand discovery.

In addition, in terms of time alone, Meng Zhou also made money.

As the realm of "Wanxiang Pearl" improved, more insights poured into Meng Zhou's heart.

Since leaving Qi Yunfeng, the accumulation has not stopped, but considering the actual situation in the five regions, Meng Zhou did not increase the number of "transparent round mirrors" and natal living poison flying swords. These natal living poisons are all deposited in the soul pool.

Although, his "first time" is a little different from the usual "first time". As the "Wanxiang Pearl" broke through to the realm of Dacheng, the Knot Master profession has also made great progress, reaching the level of [Rose Knot Master Level 4 25,000/100,000].

From then on, the realm of death no longer had any "mysterious" elements to Meng Zhou.

These are all earned.

After spending some time to roughly sort out the gains from this retreat, Meng Zhou did not immediately start to practice the "Wanxiang Pearl", but began to think about it in his mind.

Bai Zhi then calmed down, and with her active cooperation, Meng Zhou took her into the sea of ​​consciousness.

However, another thing that happened made Meng Zhou a little disappointed.

But now, it only took Meng Zhou thirty days to complete his one-year training mission.

He easily saw a sky-connecting barrier lying in front of his sight.

Although Meng Zhou felt a little regretful about this, he was not too disappointed.

However, the negative energy accumulated in the body is far greater than before, and the time required to release it all is about four times as long as before.

After taking some time to roughly sort out the gains from this retreat, Meng Zhou once again devoted himself wholeheartedly to the cultivation of the "Wanxiang Pearl".

In the end, this step was not taken, for various reasons.

No more, no less, the duration of the retreat is exactly one month.

After leaving the Realm of Death, Meng Zhou thought about his next move.

Now, the retreat time has been extended three times, but the amount of Qinglian Sword Marrow has not changed at all, it is still no more than sixty drops.

As for the five elders of Qingxuan, they had just come into contact with "Qihuangzi" at that time, and they were far from trusting each other, but Qinglin Peak was their foundation. It was impossible for them to make a complete decision before they were absolutely sure. ;

At this moment, Meng Zhouzhen had reached the stage where he had to plan for his breakthrough to Nascent Soul, and he naturally thought of this plan again.

"How about giving it a try?"
