Immortal Palace Longevity

Central Region, Jiangzhou.

Twenty-five years later, in the residence of Xunyang City, in the training room.

A burly monk with a naked upper body sat cross-legged and was practicing.

It seemed that he had reached a critical point in his practice. Sweat beads as big as beans kept emerging from his skin, gathering into a stream and flowing downwards.

His brows were slightly wrinkled, and the corners of his mouth twitched from time to time.

It can be felt that this person is suffering a lot of pain, but he tried to endure this pain, and his face remained generally calm.

This person is Liu Yu!

At this time, the operation of the "Magic Method of Conserving the Soul" has reached a critical point. An almost unbearable pain is pouring out of the soul like a tide.

Compared with this, the pain in the flesh is nothing.

In the Niwan Palace, after swallowing the "Soul Condensing Pill" and operating the "Magic Method of Conserving the Soul", Liu Yu's soul "big red light ball" fluctuated continuously.

It looked calm on the surface, but at a very subtle level, it expanded slightly outward and then retracted.

Every time it expanded, there would be a burning pain!

A wisp of black light continued to rise from the Dantian and flow into the red Yuanshen.

It ran along with the operation of the technique and was gradually digested by the big red light ball.

Having been prepared for a long time, when the severe pain came, Liu Yu suppressed it with a rock-hard will and operated the technique with difficulty.

Every time the Yuanshen expanded and retracted, it would shrink a little bit.

As several wisps of black light were digested, under the effect of the "Magic Method of Conserving the Spirit" and the "Soul Condensing Pill", a wisp of black smoke rose from the Yuanshen.

It was expelled from the big red light ball and eventually disappeared out of thin air.

Every time the Yuanshen expanded and shrunk once, and the flowing black light was digested once, a wisp of black smoke of more or less would be expelled by the Yuanshen.

From the black smoke, you can feel all kinds of negative emotions, as well as some absurd and unrealistic thoughts.

This kind of breath seems to have some characteristics of the soul, but it is an impurity of the soul.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but every time the method goes through a big cycle, the soul goes through a process of expansion and contraction, the body will shrink slightly, but the brightness will increase slightly.

Compared with the "dimness" before the method is operated, every time a wisp of black smoke is removed, the big red light ball will become a little brighter.

If taking "nourishing spirit pills" is to make the soul continue to grow, it belongs to "strengthening the soul".

Then taking "condensing soul pills" is to remove impurities in the soul and improve the quality of the soul, which belongs to "refining the soul".

Strengthening the soul first and then refining the soul can make the foundation of the soul more solid, which is greatly beneficial to future growth.

Strengthening the soul and refining the soul are indispensable. If the two cannot go hand in hand, it is difficult to go further on the road of immortality.

In layman's terms, it is the coexistence of "quantity" and "quality".

When the realm is still low and the soul has not grown to a certain extent, "strengthening the soul" should be carried out first to strengthen the soul.

But when the soul grows to a certain extent and is strong enough, if it is not condensed enough, every improvement will be extremely difficult.

At this time, it is necessary to "refine the soul" to make the soul more condensed.

It is not advisable to simply strengthen the soul, just like a building made of a pile of inferior materials, it is difficult to exceed a certain height.

Even if it is forcibly piled up, it will melt like ice and snow when facing a test one day in the future.

So when the "building" of the soul reaches a certain level, it is necessary to stop and check for hidden dangers.

Replace some inferior materials so that it can be built higher and go further.

The two steps of strengthening the soul and refining the soul almost cover most of the ways for living beings to improve the soul, and almost most of the means are centered around these two points.

Of course, the improvement of the soul is far more than that simple, and other aspects need to be paid attention to.

For example, balance, etc.

The beads of sweat as big as beans kept rolling down, and the pain that ordinary people could not bear came, and every minute and every second was a torment.

I don’t know how long it took, Liu Yu’s face gradually regained calm.

"Hu~"

After finishing the practice of "The Magic Method of Conserving the Soul", he slowly opened his eyes and exhaled heavily.

"In 25 years, the soul has increased from 120 miles to 135 miles now!"

"The effect of the Soul Condensing Pill is better than expected."

"Although the size of the soul has not increased, on the contrary it has shrunk, but the real enhancement can be clearly felt."

"The growth of spiritual consciousness is a manifestation of a certain aspect."

"Sure enough, strengthening the soul and refining the soul at the same time is the most correct path."

Opening his eyes, he noticed that the soul was brighter, and a hint of joy flashed in Liu Yu's eyes.

"The Soul Condensing Pill is only a third-grade medium-grade one, but it has such an effect."

"I wonder what kind of miraculous effect the "Soul Cleansing Pill" deduced by the "Hundred Herbs True Cultivator" back then would have?"

"According to the records in the Hundred Herbs Pill Book, the Soul Cleansing Pill is as high as the third-grade top-grade!"

"It's a pity that after so many years, the deduction of this pill formula is still a few steps away from completion."

"I have been busy practicing these years and have never had the time to deduce the pill formula."

Thinking of the Hundred Herbs Pill Book I got back then and the deduced "Soul Cleansing Pill", a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.

Twenty-five years have passed in a flash.

During these years, with a large amount of spirit stones and pills being consumed, Liu Yu's cultivation has also made great progress and has reached the peak of the middle stage of the Golden Pill.

It is only one step away from the late stage of the Golden Pill.

Perhaps because he had already reached the third-stage late stage of body refining, or perhaps because of the improvement of his aptitude for the ninth-grade pill, he did not feel the existence of a "bottleneck".

Perhaps he only needs to continue for a while before he can break through naturally.

"I reached the peak of the middle stage a year ago. It's time to break through."

Thinking of this, Liu Yu looked into his body with his spiritual consciousness.

In the dantian, the green golden pill the size of a goose egg slowly rotated.

After many years, it has grown a circle, and there is a constant spiritual light on the surface, which looks very "healthy".

Below the green golden pill is a wide "lake", the lake water is dark green, and it is formed by countless mana.

Looking closely, each "water flow" is composed of countless crystals that are smaller than dust.

Solid mana!

The golden pill is very healthy, and the ebb and flow of the mana lake is extremely active. Everything is moving in a good direction.

"It has been about a year since I reached the peak of the middle stage of the Golden Core."

"After a year of precipitation, it is almost time to advance."

"However, my realm has already made subtle adjustments based on the observations in that "supreme" state."

"It is quite different from the original "Qingyang Gong" and cannot be completely confused."

"Forced cultivation will leave a lot of regrets."

"So before that, I still have to go to the Immortal Mansion and deduce the ninth-level cultivation method that suits me."

This thought flashed through Liu Yu's mind.

Twenty-five years have passed, and he has already mastered the ninth level of Qingyang Gong, but whether it is the original or the deduced one, he feels dissatisfied after careful consideration.

Over the years, Liu Yu has never given up on acquiring knowledge.

Through channels such as the Buyi League, or by spending spirit stones to buy it, he has also come into contact with the cultivation knowledge of the Central Domain Cultivation World.

From the perspective of cultivation theory, the Central Domain is indeed far beyond Tiannan and is far more "advanced" than Tiannan.

This gap in cultivation knowledge will be firmly reflected in strength.

For example, two ordinary cultivators, the strength of the Central Region cultivator is about 30% higher than that of the Tiannan cultivator.

Not to mention the spirit ships, etc., the refining skills of magic tools and magic treasures are also much more advanced.

"First deduce the skills, and then start to break through."

Various thoughts flashed, Liu Yu made a decision quickly, and his mind touched the green light spot in the Niwan Palace.

The next moment, a familiar suction came, and his consciousness instantly fell into a trance.

...

The eyes went black, and the sky spun.

When Liu Yu regained consciousness again, he was already in the green barrier, and turned into a brighter red ball of light.

Outside the barrier, there was an endless void where cold and darkness coexisted.

"This feeling is very strange."

"Although the body size has shrunk, the real sense of power has increased a lot."

Liu Yu's consciousness scanned himself, thinking secretly in his heart.

In the world of the immortal mansion, the soul can directly interfere with matter, and he really felt the enhancement of the soul.

Each ray of spiritual power is stronger, and there is more spiritual power available.

"Strengthen the soul and refine the soul, go hand in hand."

After carefully experiencing the changes in the soul, Liu Yu was more determined about the path he chose.

Immediately, his mind moved, and his figure instantly disappeared from the original place and moved to the dark void outside the barrier.

After a few breaths of silence, Liu Yu carefully recalled the knowledge of cultivating immortals about Qingyang Gong and fire attributes, and sorted out what he had learned again.

Immediately, he followed the extremely close connection with the Immortal Palace and entered the state of "the highest and the most supreme".

The next moment,

Liu Yu's spiritual perception was infinitely elevated, reaching an incredible level in an instant!

Everything in front of him became insignificant, and there was a sense of extreme unreality.

In the spiritual perception at this time, even the space felt fragile, as if it would break at the touch.

This state is very wonderful. Liu Yu seemed to be standing in a higher dimension and looking down at the lower dimension. There was no secret at all in the world of the Immortal Palace.

It was as if humans were in three-dimensional space, and everything in two-dimensional space, which was composed of lines and surfaces, was clearly visible under the gaze of three-dimensional life.

In this state, the world was like a painting.

And he was a painter or a creator, who could modify the painting at will and turn it into the shape he wanted.

"Perhaps, when in this state, I look at the ordinary world from the perspective of a high-dimensional life."

"In the eyes of a high-dimensional life, everything in the low dimension is clearly visible, without any secrets."

Liu Yu had this kind of enlightenment in his heart.

Of course, he understood that the feeling of being omnipotent like the creator was just an illusion.

He was just a small Jindan cultivator. Even if he had great authority in the world of the Immortal Mansion, he definitely did not have the power of the creator.

At least, it was far from being possible now.

Emotions were fading away quickly, and thinking was moving towards absolute rationality.

If you stay in this state for too long, even your personality will be distorted, and finally assimilated by the world of the Immortal Mansion.

Stay forever again and become a part of the Immortal Mansion!

All kinds of thoughts flashed, but in fact they were only a short moment.

"No, we need to be quick!"

Liu Yu was startled, thinking about the purpose of entering the Immortal Palace, and quickly began to deduce.

In that "supreme" state, as if the higher dimension was looking down on the lower dimension, his thinking accelerated countless times, and everything in the world became simple.

In the first breath, he recalled all the contents of Qingyang Gong from the first to the ninth level, including the ninth level that he deduced later.

Instantly saw the shortcomings, and deleted and combined them according to the existing knowledge of cultivation to make up for the loopholes in the method.

In the second breath, Liu Yu began to comprehend the content of the tenth level of Qingyang Gong, the early stage of Yuanying.

Because of the foundation laid before, and he had been comprehending for a long time.

In this "supreme" state, he only spent one breath to fully comprehend the content of the tenth level without any doubts.

In the third breath, according to the content of the tenth level of Qingyang Gong, Liu Yu combined the original nine levels with the deduced ninth level and began to deduce the most suitable method for himself.

In every moment, there are tens of millions of thoughts colliding, bursting out countless sparks of inspiration.

The profound knowledge of cultivation flows through his heart.

Liu Yu did not notice that at this time, countless tiny silver runes circulated in his Yuanshen, which was like a big red light ball.

Countless runes flowed, like a stream of data, constantly being disrupted and recombined.

If you look closely, you will find that each rune carries his memory, representing his experience over a certain period of time and the knowledge he has learned.

In this state, Liu Yu's knowledge and experience are embodied into runes!

The silver runes are constantly disrupted and reorganized, and there are tens of thousands of changes in just one breath, as if representing the collision of his thoughts.

Gradually, as the tiny silver runes tend to stabilize, the frequency of disruption and reorganization decreases, and Liu Yu gradually has a clue about the new ninth level of Qingyang Gong.

In the fourth breath, following the clues he has sorted out, using the verified and known knowledge of cultivating immortals, he began to deduce the new ninth level with all his strength.

In the red soul, the speed of reorganization continued to slow down, and finally countless tiny silver runes gathered together to form a new data stream.

In the fifth breath, Liu Yu exited the "Supreme" state.

In the soul, there was a deep sense of fatigue, as if he had not slept for several years.

The huge gap between the "Supreme" state and the usual state also made him feel indescribably lost and weak.

"Huh~"

It took Liu Yu a long time to come back to his senses.

"The sequelae this time seem to be a little lighter than last time?"

"The biggest change between the past few times is that my soul has become stronger and more condensed."

"Perhaps a strong soul is indeed the best way to resist the sequelae."

Based on the previous several entries and the situation this time, various thoughts flashed through his mind.

"But it may also be because the entry time is shorter."

"After all, this time we have made sufficient preparations and the purpose is very clear."

"Just based on the known knowledge of cultivating immortals, to deduce the new ninth level of Qingyang Gong, there is no need to explore unknown areas."

After thinking for a long time, Liu Yu thought of various possibilities.

Then, he moved his mind, and the big red light ball instantly disappeared in the immortal world.

Now that the method has been deduced, the next step is naturally to break through the realm!
