Mortal Bones

Six days have passed since Xu Taiping walked out of the Long River of Time.

In the Dragon-trapped Tower.

"After using up the last bit of the Immortal Wine and the batch of elixirs given by Abbot Jiaye, I have finally managed to nourish the Divine Essence to a certain extent."

Xu Taiping, who had been in seclusion for six days to heal his wounds, finally breathed a sigh of relief after sensing the changes in the Divine Essence.

Previously, in the Long River of Time, in order to deal with the Demon Emperor Octopus, he consumed nearly eight Divine Essences in one breath, which was almost the limit of what this body could bear.

If he could not recover as soon as possible, it would delay many of his subsequent things.

After all, Xiaoyu and Xuanhuangtian, the four young men, were still frozen at the bottom of the lake.

After sensing Xu Taiping's awakening, Lian Tong was the first to greet Xu Taiping:

"It took so many pills, but it still took six days to restore the spirit. It seems that you have to find an opportunity to improve your spirit."

Xu Taiping asked curiously in his heart:

"Can the power of the spirit be improved?"

Lian Tong replied:

"Of course."

Lian Tong explained:

"The Heaven's Wrath Five-Elephant Art given to you by Emperor Xuanhuang, and the Xuanhuang Gong, are not used to cultivate the spirit?"

Xu Taiping was awakened by Lian Tong's words, and then he said with some shame:

"If you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten these two skills."

Except for the period of time after coming out of the Xuanhuang Tower, Xu Taiping's cultivation of the Heaven's Wrath Five-Elephant Art and the Xuanhuang Gong was basically in a state of abandonment.

Another reason is that this kind of skill to cultivate the spirit is useless for ordinary Xuanyuan clones, and the original clone must be used.

Therefore, the mastery of these two techniques has remained at a relatively superficial stage.

Lian Tong said again:

"No, it's just the right time to start practicing now."

Lian Tong explained:

"At this stage of the Shocking Realm, the improvement of physical strength and cultivation is very slow because of the suppression of the Heavenly Dao."

"If you want to be fast, you must either devour the cultivation of others or obtain a large number of spiritual stones and elixirs."

"But the cultivation of the Yuan Shen will not be restricted by this."

"And when you cultivate the Yuan Shen to the point where you can be fearless of the scorching sun when leaving the body, it can also be a powerful combat force for you."

At this point, Lian Tong added very solemnly:

"Especially for you who have practiced the Taiqing Xuanyuan Clone Art."

Xu Taiping understood what Lian Tong meant, so he nodded deeply and thanked:

"Thank you for the reminder."

With the Taiqing Xuanyuan Clone Art, the stronger his Yuan Shen is, the stronger his control over the clone will be.

Xu Taiping even suspected that the secret to making the clone and the real body of Shiyuan appear at the same time was in the Yuanshen.

After saying all this, Liantong stopped talking and continued to nibble at the two divine sheds in Xu Taiping's left eye.

"After rescuing Xiaoyu and the others and successfully obtaining the star map stone, I will practice Xuanhuang Gong and Tiannu Wuxiang Jue in seclusion for a period of time."

After making this decision, Xu Taiping immediately sent a message to Daogui in his mind:

"Senior Daogui, are you awake?"

After calling Daogui several times in a row, and Daogui still did not respond, Xu Taiping suddenly frowned and said:

"It's been so long, and Senior Daogui hasn't woken up yet?"

After coming out of the Long River of Time, Daogui has been sleeping and can't be woken up no matter how he calls.

Xu Taiping said with some worry:

"Could it be that after I enter the Long River of Time, the Sword Ghost Senior who possesses me will be affected?"

"Think about it carefully, this is indeed my first time to enter the Long River of Time completely."

Just when Xu Taiping was worried like this, the jade slip in his sleeve suddenly "hummed" and trembled.

He took it out and saw that it was Abbot Jiaye who was transmitting a message to him.

So he held the jade slip tightly and passed a stream of true energy into it.

Then, the voice of Abbot Jiaye came out from the jade slip:

"Donor Taiping, if you wake up, you must transmit a message to me. Regarding the remains of the Ice Demon, I have recalled some things these days."

Xu Taiping was immediately delighted.

After coming out of the Long River of Time, he immediately asked Abbot Jiaye about the remains of the Ice Demon, wanting to see if he knew any way to unfreeze it.

However, because the scriptures stored in Abbot Kasyapa's soul were too complicated, he could not give an answer immediately, so he just asked Xu Taiping to wait for a few days.

So Xu Taiping directly picked up the jade slip and sent a message to Abbot Kasyapa:

"Abbot Kasyapa, I have come out of retreat."

The voice of Abbot Kasyapa soon came from the jade slip:

"Donor, your voice is full of energy, it seems that you have recovered well."

Xu Taiping asked directly:

"Have you found a way to remove the freezing power of the ancient ice demon?"

Abbot Kasyapa replied:

"In the past few days, I have indeed found an ancient demon god that is very similar to the ice demon you mentioned in an ancient scripture."

"But in that ancient scripture, this demon god is called Qingnv, who is a demon god transformed by a god bewitched by an extraterritorial demon."

"According to the description in the ancient scripture, wherever Qingnv passes, everything will be frozen, even some powerful beasts and mountain and water gods."

"As for how she finally fell, the ancient scriptures do not give a detailed description. It only mentions that after she fell, she would turn into a pool of cold water in the spring, and into a square piece of ice that was more than 100 feet long and wide in the winter."

"This is exactly the same as your description of the ice demon."

After listening to Abbot Kasyapa's story, Xu Taiping was overjoyed, and then asked:

"Abbot Kasyapa, have you found a way to remove her icy power in that ancient scripture?"

Abbot Kasyapa said with some regret:

"I didn't find a way to break it. I only saw a cultivator in another ancient scripture. In order to save his wife and daughter who were frozen in the ice, the monk found a good knife and cut it open with one knife. "

Hearing this, Xu Taiping frowned and said:

"Cut it open? I remember that the Demon Emperor Octopus also said something similar, but according to him, it takes a full-strength knife from a cultivator in the Hedao realm to cut it open. "

After hearing what Xu Taiping said, Abbot Jiaye pondered and said:

"Although your knife, Taiping donor, is sharp enough, it is probably much worse than that of a cultivator in the Hedao realm."

Xu Taiping also did not think that his full-strength knife at this time could be comparable to that of a cultivator in the Hedao realm.

Otherwise, he would have cut the remains of the demon god in the long river of time.

And just as the two were silent, the voice of the knife ghost suddenly rang in Xu Taiping's mind:

"Who said it couldn't be done?"

After Xu Taiping heard that it was the voice of the knife ghost, he was immediately surprised and said:

"Senior Daogui, you are finally awake!"
