You can become stronger by lying down

Ji Xian took one step at a time and reached the pinnacle. His aura of surpassing the limit declined sharply. He coughed one after another. In the dim night, blood seemed to fall.

His back bent down, as if he was carrying a hundred thousand mountains. His forward speed suddenly dropped, as if he was stuck in a quagmire and was bound by many constraints.

"It was careless."

With a sigh, Ji Xian lost his balance, his knees bent, and he knelt on one knee on the ground, covering his heart-wrenching chest. His pounding heart seemed to be about to explode, and the pain made his face twisted and sweaty.

He still overestimated himself. He forcibly used the Star Art and the Star Sword to absorb too much star power between heaven and earth, attached it to his body, and briefly improved his cultivation, making his strength reach an unprecedented level of strength.

He thought he could resist it, but now it seems that it is a bit of a foolish dream.

The power of the stars is the energy born from heaven and earth. It is essentially the same as spiritual power, but the scope of application of the former is not as large as the latter.

The refining of spiritual power only requires a technique that can absorb external spiritual energy, and the threshold is very low, while the power of stars can only be absorbed and refined through special methods.

In the world, in addition to the power of stars, there are many similar energies, such as thunder, storm, fire, darkness, light... These energies were born from the world, and they also created the world.

Although these energies can be constructed with spiritual power, there is still a big gap compared with their original bodies.

In terms of power alone, the natural energy transformed by spiritual power is less powerful than the energy nurtured by the world, and the controllability is also different.

The natural energy nurtured by the world is very violent, just like the energy filled in the dark void, it is unrestrained, can spontaneously cause disasters, and bring unparalleled destructive power.

Ji Xian's practice method is very different. Others rely on absorbing spiritual energy to practice, but he can not only absorb spiritual energy, but also absorb the power of stars.

This should have been something to be happy about, but he still fell on it. In order to defeat the puppet guarding the holy spring, he fought desperately and absorbed two energies beyond the limit of his body's tolerance, which led to backlash and serious injuries.

"I really can't mess around next time. My body can't bear it. I'm young and I haven't married yet!"

Ji Xian's eyes were illusory, and his heart was alert. He bit his tongue hard to pull himself back from the edge of coma. His mouth was dry and he was breathing heavily.

He used the sword as support and stood up from the ground with difficulty. The intense pain swept through his body. He groaned, and there was no blood on his pale face, as white as snow in winter.

"It's less than ten meters away from the holy spring. I don't believe I can't hold on."

Ji Xian clenched his teeth, walked with difficulty, and vomited blood with every step. His white robe was stained with blood, and his black hair was scattered and draped over his shoulders.

…

The talented children of the major forces of the demon race gathered together, and under the leadership of Dai Yu, the son of the demon emperor, they went to the place where the holy spring was born.

Yu Mo followed Dai Yu, and his murderous aura was no longer as strong as before. Not long ago, Dai Yu told him that his three good brothers who fell from the ladder were not dead. After coming down, he also confirmed that they were indeed not dead and were still alive.

He was both happy and angry about this. He was happy that his brothers were not dead and could be reunited.

He was angry that the few human races who knocked his brothers down the ladder actually ran away and were not killed by him personally.

As a member of the demon race, Yu Mo made it public without any reservation and called on all demon race compatriots in the secret realm of the holy spring to join hands and kill the human race who sneaked in.

As soon as the call came out, all parties responded quickly and made promises that if they met human races in the secret realm, they would kill them immediately and would never let them go easily.

Dai Yu also supports this matter. Since ancient times, humans and demons cannot coexist. Either humans die or demons die. The relationship between the two sides has long been in deep water and there is no possibility of reversal.

This time, the human race sneaked into the Holy Spring Secret Realm. Do you think that it can be solved by dying? No, no, no, things are far more complicated than you think.

The demon race will definitely take advantage of the issue to make the human race apologize, give a satisfactory explanation, or ask for compensation.

The conflict between the big clans is not a small fight. It may seem calm on the surface, but there may be undercurrents and crises inside.

The game between top chess players is an all-round competition. Patience, technology, and strategy are indispensable.

Ji Xian and his team were misunderstood as human beings, which invisibly created opportunities for the demon race, allowing the demon race to seize the initiative and in turn clamp down on the human race.

The crowd is still moving forward. They encountered large and small mechanisms on the way. A few people were not strong enough and lost their lives.

Dai Yu walked in front and led the way. He was the strongest and the leader of the younger generation of the demon race. His cultivation had reached the peak of the Soul Crossing Realm. If it weren't for entering the Holy Spring Secret Realm, he would have already stepped into the Nine Apertures Realm.

The Holy Spring Secret Realm has rules and restrictions. Only people below the Nine Apertures Realm are allowed to enter. If they exceed this, they will attract trouble like Ji Xian and be hunted down by the power of the secret realm.

"Dai Yu, why do you also come to the Holy Spring Secret Realm? Logically speaking, you don't need it." Yu Mo looked at Dai Yu and expressed his doubts.

Dai Yu smiled: "Indeed, I don't need it. I came to the Holy Spring Secret Realm for experience, you know?"

As the son of the Demon Emperor, he has a much higher innate advantage than others. He has resources if he wants them, and he doesn't have to worry about such trivial matters.

Yu Mo was stunned and said: "Are you accumulating yourself and paving the way for your future cultivation in advance and laying a good foundation?"

Dai Yu laughed and nodded.

His cultivation has reached Soul Crossing, and the next step is to advance to the Nine Apertures. In the cultivation world, there has been a saying that before the Nine Apertures is the earth, and after the Nine Apertures is the sky, it is different.

When you reach the Nine Apertures realm, you will begin to develop the nine special acupoints on your body to further tap into your own potential. Your own strength will be greatly enhanced with each acupoint opened!

But the acupuncture points are not so easy to open. You must have enough knowledge and a certain amount of talent, otherwise you will not be able to open them.

Yu Mo was in awe. No wonder Dai Yu became the strongest among his peers in the demon clan. He had a long-term vision. While others were thinking about how to break through the current stage, he was already thinking about how to break through in the next stage.

Dai Yu's eyes were deep and high-spirited, and he said: "People have to pursue something and work hard, especially people like me. If I don't work hard, what will happen to the future of the demon clan?"

He stopped, turned to look at Yu Mo, and said: "You are the son of the Fourth Emperor, and the competition within the family is much greater than mine. If you want to inherit your father's position in the future, you must be better."

Yu Mo trembled physically and mentally, remained silent for a moment, and nodded heavily.
