Immortal Refiner

The poison of the Heart of Heavenly Poison was far more troublesome than Li Qing had imagined. Even though he had made full preparations for it, he was still in danger several times.

In the cave of Qingyun Peak, Li Qing's breath was extremely weak at one point, and he was close to death.

If it weren't for the fact that the true meaning of the dead tree coming back to life in the Daojie Wuji Sutra was strong enough, Li Qing would have been able to refine a vitality from the desperate situation in time every time.

In the midst of dangers again and again, Li Qing's body finally began to gradually adapt to the invasion of this poison, and transformed little by little.

Li Qing accumulated every bit of vitality he had refined and stored it in a corner of his body.

He didn't rush to use it to resist the erosion of the poison in his body, but maintained his state at a minimum.

In this way, time had passed unknowingly for nearly a year.

For a whole year, Li Qing was in this state of dying.

If someone enters his cave, they will be shocked to find that the figure sitting cross-legged on the cushion has almost turned into a dry skeleton.

This dry skeleton is still covered with light green hair, and there is no sign of life at all, as if it has been dead for a long time.

But Li Qing is of course not dead. He is still accumulating strength for his new life, waiting for the arrival of the final transformation moment.

It's just that the process is a bit long, much longer than the previous two transformations.

How long will it take for the final transformation moment to arrive? Li Qing has no idea in his heart. He can only silently accumulate the vitality of this body.

Time passed leisurely, and another year passed.

The number of demons invading from the southern Great Wilderness is increasing. When Lingyun Sect did not resist with all its strength, most of Qingling Territory was completely occupied and became a land of demons.

These demonized human cultivators are extremely powerful, far exceeding the cultivators of the same level.

After receiving the demonic energy, his temperament also changed drastically, as if he had become a different person. Even the most gentle and respectful cultivators would become extremely cold and cruel after being demonized.

Under such circumstances, most of the independent cultivators and those immortal cultivation families in the Qingling Domain retreated to the range of the Lingyun Sect's power.

"Why is Lingyun Sect just defending?! Under the rampage of the demons, our place of practice is in ruins."

"Alas, stop talking, the cave where I practiced for many years has also been destroyed."

"Perhaps Lingyun Sect has its own considerations. After all, the demons are powerful now. If they provoke one or two Nascent Soul stage demons, even Lingyun Sect will not be able to bear it."

"That being said, what's the point of just defending your own mountain gate? The demons are constantly expanding and will always attack."

"Yes, the Cuiling Mountains were completely occupied some time ago, and those cultivators who received demonic energy are still making trouble."

The casual cultivators who retreated to the vicinity of Lingyun Sect were complaining constantly, thinking that Lingyun Sect, which was so powerful, had never done anything in such a situation.

For a while, the prestige of this immortal sect that dominated the Qingling area for many years continued to decline in the minds of these casual cultivators, almost reaching the freezing point.

Naturally, Lingyun Sect also expected this situation.

Not only the outside world was complaining, but even the disciples in the sect felt frustrated and angry.

But there was no way, the sect leaders just kept silent about it, and refused to launch a counterattack against those demonized human cultivators.

It was because they knew that the Wuji Patriarch had not officially come out of retreat, so this battle could not be fought no matter what. Once the war started, it would attract more powerful demons, and the consequences would be disastrous.

It was in this depressing atmosphere that a visitor came to the mountain gate of Lingyun Sect.

"I am Yuanbao Zhenren from Wanbao Tower, and I hope that Senior Wuji will show up to see me!"

Yuanbao Zhenren, who had met Li Qing once before, came again, but this time it was not Li Qing who met him, but Xu Xia, the head of Lingyun Sect, and the supreme elder Wu Chong.

Yuanbao Zhenren was slightly stunned when he saw this, and then said: "Two fellow Taoists from Lingyun Sect, could it be that Senior Wuji did not return to your sect?"

Xu Xia and Wu Chong looked at each other, and then shook their heads at the same time.

"No, Patriarch Wuji hasn't returned to the sect for a long time, and we are also very anxious!"

Wu Chong also said with a worried look on his face: "Is there no news about him in Wanbao Tower? If he came back, why would we stay in the sect? We would have organized people to purge those evil cultivators who are neither human nor ghost."

At least, since Li Qing has not come out of retreat, they will not leak his news anyway.

Now Li Qing is injured and still recuperating in the cave. This matter is the highest secret even in Lingyun Sect.

In addition to the head and the supreme elder, only a few people know about it, and these people are strictly guarded in the sect, and this matter will never be leaked.

Upon hearing this, Yuanbao Zhenren's face changed slightly, and then he sighed and said, "Prince Wuji was invited to Tianji Island to discuss strategies to deal with the demons, but later a demon in the God Transformation stage attacked."

"The two fellow Taoists from Lingyun Sect don't have to worry too much. Senior Wuji may not have encountered an accident. At least the ancestor of my Wanbao Chamber of Commerce and other God Transformation masters repelled the demon's attack."

After hearing Master Yuanbao's words, both Xu Xia and Wu Chong showed uncontrollable shock on their faces.

They finally knew why Li Qinghui was so seriously injured that he couldn't even maintain aerial flight after returning to the sect. It turned out that he had suffered such a huge disaster.

Just thinking about the attack of the ancient demon in the transformation stage makes people shudder.

After a long time, Wu Chong sighed deeply and asked, "So what is the purpose of Fellow Taoist Yuanbao coming here this time?"

Master Yuanbao smiled bitterly and said: "The strategy to deal with the ancient demon that was previously discussed on Tianji Island has finally come to be implemented."

"However, this matter still requires the cooperation of Senior Wuji. If Senior Wuji is here, it will be easier to talk about it, for now."

The meaning is obvious, that is, to carry out this plan, at least one Nascent Soul stage monk is required to cooperate.

Naturally, Wu Chong and Xu Xia didn't know what the specific plan was, but they still held their fists in a very generous manner and said: "I don't know if there is any need to use my Lingyun Sect. Just ask, if there is any place where I can help, , we will do our best.”

"Then I'll thank you in advance. However, the time has not come yet, and this matter still needs to be kept secret. When the time is completely mature, I will explain the matter in detail. I hope that your sect can help me at the same time."

Naturally, the two of them responded first.

After finally sending away the real Yuanbao from Wanbao Tower, Xu Xia and Wu Chong decided to inform Li Qing in advance to see what the ancestor's attitude was.

Outside Qingyun Peak, a spiritual message came out leisurely: "This can be done."

Xu Xia and Wu Chong, who were outside Li Qingdong's mansion, both breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this divine message.

Of course, if they saw Li Qing's appearance at this moment, they would never relax so quickly, but would be shocked.

Because at this moment, Li Qing could not see the slightest trace of a living person in his body, and his whole body was completely turned into rotten bones, covered with thick green hair, extending for an extremely long distance.

But in the sunken eye sockets, there are two golden lights that dance from time to time. These two lights are like golden flames beating, full of vitality.

"Is the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce finally starting to close the space rift? It seems that it has gained a lot of advantages, and it can even be without fear of those ancient demons in the god-transformation stage causing trouble."

"On my side, it's time to speed up."

Li Qing muttered to himself, completely ignoring the appearance of his physical body and not paying any attention to it.

The next moment, the two golden lights in his eyes began to flow, and wisps of spiritual flames leaked out from them.

As the wisps of heaven and earth spiritual fire spread, Li Qing's current body spontaneously ignited instantly, and the thick green hair all over it also burned.

boom!

In just a short time, Li Qing's body was completely covered by the spiritual fire of heaven and earth!

Black and yellow true flames, soul-devouring demonic flames, and netherworld cold fire!

Three different colors of heaven and earth spiritual fire burned Li Qing's body crazily at this moment, and a large amount of green smoke emerged from the body, and then completely dissipated in the air.

In an instant, Li Qing transformed into a pyromaniac whose whole body was burning with spiritual flames.

Under the burning of the heaven and earth spiritual fire, this old body that was extremely eroded by poison was quickly burned to ashes.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Li Qing's behavior is tantamount to playing with fire and burning himself.

But Li Qing created the "The Unlimited Sutra of Dao Tribulation" by himself. He knew that every transformation of his own was so domineering. This was the state that the "The Unlimited Sutra of Dao Tribulation" should be pursued.

Immediately afterwards, an astonishing burst of vitality broke out.

This was the essence of life that Li Qing had saved for two full years. Instead of using it to resist the erosion of the poison, he saved all of it and allowed his old body to continue to deteriorate.

After more than two years, Li Qing finally accumulated enough life essence to reshape his new body.

He did not hesitate at all, no longer suppressing these life essences and letting them be squandered wantonly.

Soon, Li Qing, who was originally like a withered bone, was reborn with every inch of flesh and blood, and he was reshaping his true self.

As the vitality spreads, the flesh and blood on Li Qing's body gradually fills up.

He successfully survived this poisonous disaster, and the body he rebuilt this time was not only more powerful than before, but also a body that was invulnerable to all poisons.

Of course, Li Qing can't guarantee whether he can really resist all the poisons in the world.

But at least he is completely immune to poisons of this level like the Sky Poison Body.

Apart from anything else, there should be no poison more terrifying than the Sky Poison Body found in the lower world.

After about a few hours, Li Qing's physical body was finally reshaped. He slowly opened his eyes, and then let out a long breath.

"Have you finally gotten over it? It took two years, but I finally got a new lease of life."

Having said this, the corners of his mouth inadvertently curved into a smile of satisfaction.

boom!

A mysterious aura erupted from his body, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him suddenly rioted.

In Qingyun Peak and even within the entire mountain gate of Lingyun Sect, the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed to be drawn by some kind of force and converged towards Li Qing's cave.

These spiritual energies of heaven and earth are chaotic and disorderly, and they need to be breathed and refined before they can be turned into their own mana.

But Li Qing had no such concerns at all. He roughly and savagely devoured the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered around him, without caring about how mottled the spiritual energy was.

Instantly, Li Qing seemed to have turned into a black hole, and all the spiritual energy within a few inches of his body was absorbed into his body.

Li Qing immediately activated the "Chihuang Burning Heaven Technique", and the three spiritual fires in his body turned into fire rings, refining these vast amounts of spiritual energy into the purest spiritual power in the shortest time, and then sank into his Dantian along the meridians.

At this moment, the Nascent Soul in Li Qing's body gradually became full and glowed again.

"Yes, this new body is very strong, even if it swallows the spiritual energy of heaven and earth like this, there will be no problem, and the meridians don't feel swollen at all."

After an unknown amount of time, this huge tide of spiritual energy finally slowly subsided.

The mana in Li Qing's body was completely full, and then a strong breath emerged.

It was much stronger than before. There is no doubt that he has entered the late stage of the Nascent Soul!

His cultivation level has risen again. He is almost at the end of the Nascent Soul stage. Looking at all the Nascent Soul cultivators in the history of the human world, those who can cultivate to the late stage are absolutely rare.

Feeling the vast mana in his body, Li Qing even felt that it was inexhaustible.

He was sure that now he no longer had to worry about running out of mana due to repeatedly activating the Wind and Thunder Silver Wings. At present, his mana was much stronger than that in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

"The late stage of the Nascent Soul, I finally cultivated it."

Li Qing was very satisfied with the results of this practice. He didn't even touch the bottleneck of the late stage of the Nascent Soul, and he rushed over and stood in this realm.

It can be seen how great the benefits of this transformation are for him.

Soon, Li Qing put away his own aura and stopped releasing it.

The pressure from him was too strong now, and all the cultivators in the area around the Lingyun Sect's mountain gate felt a sincere sense of oppression.

After his breath was restrained, the celestial phenomena that had been affected by this momentum finally slowly returned to normal.

Such a great cultivator could easily affect the surrounding environment.

After a while, Xu Xia's respectful voice came from outside the cave:

"Congratulations to the Wuji Patriarch for his great success!"

This congratulation echoed throughout the Lingyun Sect, and all the disciples heard it in their ears, and then they realized that the previous vigorous movement in the sect should have been caused by their own ancestor!

Then, everyone shouted in unison: "Congratulations to the Wuji Patriarch for his great success!"

They no longer knew what realm Li Qing had reached in his practice, but they were sure that this was definitely a great achievement, and it was definitely the top existence in the entire human world.

"Hahahaha, I've only realized a little, it's not considered a great achievement."

"Starting today, the whole sect will celebrate for three days, and all disciples and elders will have their salaries doubled this month!"

As Li Qing's voice resounded, the entire Lingyun Sect fell into ecstasy!
