In the blink of an eye, it had been three months since the last siege of the demonic beasts.
Although there were some waves and tribulations in these three months, everyone's strength was rapidly increasing and they managed to survive.
Of course, casualties were still inevitable.
Currently, the Blood Fog Island only had the Yushu Clan, the Blood Moon, the Seiji, and the Qingyan League. The total number of people in these four forces was only a little more than a hundred.
From more than ten thousand people to more than a hundred people now, only a year and a half had passed!
The Yushu Clan had the most people among the four forces. After the battle three months ago, although the Yushu Clan only had a little more than forty people left, they had also accepted some people from the Triad.
After another three months of losses, there were still more than forty people left.
At this time, the Yushu Clan's camp was no longer at the foot of the mountain, but halfway up the mountain. This was because the Blood Firmament had been slowly shrinking all this time.
The area below the foot of the mountain had long disappeared!
If this continued, it wouldn't be long before they had nowhere to go!
From the halfway up the mountain, there was only the mysterious Blood Tower left.
People from various forces had gone to check it and found out that the Blood Tower was actually very huge. Although it only had five floors, it was at least two to three hundred feet high!
Moreover, there was a door on all four sides of the Blood Fog Tower, but the shape of each door was not the same. No one knew the purpose of each door.
It was a pity that the Blood Tower was surrounded by a huge Blood Light Screen, so they couldn't investigate it at close range.
However, everyone also discovered that this Blood Light Screen was gradually fading. They believed that it wouldn't be long before it dissipated.
This also meant that when the Blood Firmament at the outermost layer became smaller and smaller, they would have to enter the Blood Tower!
Perhaps this blood-red tower was their final test!
At this time, in the Yushu Clan's temporary camp, other than a few people patrolling, everyone else was diligently cultivating.
Moreover, as far as the eye could see, everyone's cultivation was at the Pure Spirit Realm!
Now, the Spirit Qi on Bloodmist Island was so rich that it could be touched with one's hand. As long as one's aptitude was passable, all of them had broken through to the Pure Spirit Realm.
In fact, most of them were at the middle stage of the Pure Spirit Realm!
As for Hua Lingling, Mu Twenty-One, and Blood Is No Different, the oldest batch of Pure Spirit Realm Spirit Cultivators, they were all at the late stage of the Pure Spirit Realm.
As for Leng Shiqi and Yushu, their cultivations were shockingly already at the peak of the ninth level of the Pure Spirit Realm!
However, the two of them didn't feel that their cultivation speed was fast at all.
Because just a few days ago, they had received news that Delta Aurigae had broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm!
The news of the Delta Aurigae breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Realm spread like wildfire. It was as if there was a mountain pressing down on everyone's hearts.
Especially for those who were at the late stage of the Pure Spirit Realm, it was a huge blow.
They knew best that the more they cultivated, the more difficult it was to advance. Just the bottleneck of the eighth and ninth level of the Pure Spirit Realm was enough to block them.
When they thought that someone had actually broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, they felt that their hard work in cultivation was all for naught in the end.
In the end, everyone could only attribute Delta Aurigae's breakthrough to her heaven-defying aptitude. This was the so-called "comparisons are odious".
However, only Leng Shiqi knew that the reason why Delta Aurigae was able to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm so quickly was not only because of her superb cultivation aptitude, but also because she possessed a rank four cultivation method!
That rank four cultivation method was obtained from the puppet battle in the wetland. This was the answer that Leng Shiqi had exchanged with information later.
Delta Aurigae's breakthrough also brought him a lot of pressure. It has to be said that Leng Shiqi had not slacked off in his cultivation for the past three months. Moreover, he had never stopped consuming pills and spirit stones.
In addition, he would refine a mass of monster blood every few days. He had broken through from the eighth level of the Pure Spirit Realm to the ninth level with the help of the Silver-Scaled Fire Armored Crocodile's monster blood.
Otherwise, it would have taken him more than ten days to break through.
In fact, Leng Shiqi was already at the peak of the Pure Spirit Realm a month ago. However, because he had relied on external help to break through, when he touched the barrier of the Spirit Transformation Realm, he knew that his foundation was a little unstable.
If he did not properly purify his spirit force, he was afraid that he would not be able to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm for a long time.
Therefore, in the following month, he had been purifying his spirit force, causing Yushu's cultivation to gradually catch up with him.
On this day, Leng Shiqi looked inwardly at the spirit force in his sea of qi. Every strand of spirit force was incomparably pure, and he finally smiled.
"It took me a whole month to finally purify all my spirit force to the extreme. Fortunately, nothing too dangerous happened this month." Leng Shiqi whispered to himself.
Then Leng Shiqi took out a fist-sized crystal ball from the system space. His eyes flashed with excitement and anticipation.
This crystal ball was one of the rewards from the Spiritual Ruins. It was also the best reward that Leng Shiqi felt was the experience ball!
If something like the experience ball was used in the game, it could directly give a large amount of experience to level up.
If it was used in the real world, it would give a huge amount of spirit force!
This was the kind of spirit force that could directly increase one's cultivation. Moreover, it was exceptionally pure, so there was no need to worry about leaving any hidden dangers.
Leng Shiqi had not used this thing until now because he wanted to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm.
That's right, Leng Shiqi was preparing to break through to the next realm, the Spirit Transformation Realm!
In the cultivation system, the Pure Spirit Realm was a realm that opened up the spirit force in the sea of qi.
The Spirit Transformation Realm was the process of turning the spirit force in the sea of qi into mist, and the mist into the sea!
In order to break through from the Pure Spirit Realm to the Spirit Transformation Realm, the spirit force in the body must be condensed into mist!
Leng Shiqi cultivated two rank three cultivation methods at the same time, so he knew that there were two ways to break through.
The method recorded in the 《Demonic Beast Technique》 was more violent. It was to directly compress the sea of qi and turn it into mist to break through.
Although this was simple, the process was very dangerous. If one was not careful, it would cause the sea of qi to become turbulent. In the most serious case, the sea of qi would collapse, causing one's cultivation to fall back to the Spirit Gathering Realm.
The other rank three cultivation method, 《Moonlight Cloud Codex》, had a more smooth method.
Leng Shiqi thought about it and decided to play it safe and use the method of the Moonlight Cloud Codex to break through.
After all, the spirit force in the experience ball in his hand was very large and very pure. There was no need for him to take the risk.
Since he had decided, Leng Shiqi immediately adjusted his state and crushed the experience ball.
Immediately after, the experience ball instantly turned into a huge ball of spirit qi that gently wrapped Leng Shiqi.
Leng Shiqi suddenly felt countless gentle spirit qi coming from his limbs and bones, making his whole body feel very comfortable.
Leng Shiqi smoothly mobilized this spirit qi to break through the bottleneck of the Spirit Transformation Realm again and again.
During the process of breaking through this time, Leng Shiqi did not feel a lot of pain. Instead, the process was quite smooth.
About an hour later, Leng Shiqi's body vaguely made a sound as if something had broken.
Immediately, Leng Shiqi's aura suddenly surged and the ink-flowing clothes on his body began to move.
Waves of invisible spiritual pressure spread out, setting off bursts of wind and waves.
Leng Shiqi abruptly opened his eyes, and two dazzling lights flashed through them.
His cultivation was already at the Spirit Transformation Realm!
