What was an evil spirit?
This was a very important question for Yang Dingtian.
As far as he was concerned, the evil spirit energy had two main characteristics.
The first characteristic was that it could crazily break through the cultivation of the Sea of Qi in a short time.
The second characteristic was that it was a completely independent life with an almost abnormal vitality.
Moreover, according to the analysis of many people who activated the evil spirit and became powerful.
First of all, it was not the evil spirit itself that had so much energy that it could make Wu Youming break through from a nine-star ninth-level grandmaster to a Half-saint and make Leng Ao break through from a low-level grandmaster to a nine-star ninth-level grandmaster.
Instead, it was the moment when the evil spirit was parasitic in the body, it crazily devoured all the energy around it. In a very short time, it devoured an astronomical amount of Qi energy, built the entire Sea of Qi, and made an amazing breakthrough in cultivation in a very short time.
Therefore, a deeper analysis was needed.
The two characteristics of the evil spirit were that it was almost immortal and had a powerful devouring ability.
Moreover, it was certain that the evil spirit energy did not seem to exist before the last Great War of Extinction.
At that time, the Soul-Devouring Qi was the most evil and high-level energy in the entire Evil ways.
It was not until recent years that the evil spirit energy emerged in large quantities in this world.
Could it be inferred that The Demon King Wentian was the first owner of this evil spirit energy?
Moreover, he regarded the evil spirit energy as a trump card to challenge the God of Chaos. For this reason, he did not hesitate to feign defeat in the Great War of Extinction.
Yang Dingtian clearly knew that if he wanted to defeat The Demon King Wentian, he had to completely destroy the entire Evil ways.
The key was to understand and master the evil spirit and finally destroy it.
…
The second Half-saint expert appeared in the Vulture Palace.
However, the people in the Vulture Palace were not happy at all. Instead, they fell into extreme uneasiness.
Wu Lingzi seemed to have completely turned into a tortoise, completely staying in his own thatched hut. He did not say anything, nor did he do anything. He also did not greet Princess Peony.
The Vulture was the same. He stayed in his room all the time and did not take a step out.
All the experts of the Spiritual Vulture Palace fell into a state of panic.
Everyone was watching. No one dared to act rashly. They didn't even dare to speak loudly.
Wulingzi was more than two hundred years old and had accumulated his power for a long time.
Moreover, all of Wulingzi's experts and disciples were born during Wulingzi's era.
Therefore, although he knew that Wulingzi had usurped the throne, he did not feel anything.
Although they knew that Wu Daozi represented the direct power of the Vulture Palace, the people of the Vulture Palace did not have any special feelings for him.
The only thing everyone in the Vulture Palace had was mixed feelings about Wulingzi.
Of course, these complex emotions were mostly fear and dissatisfaction.
After Wu Daozi had broken through to the Half-saint realm, he hadn't done anything. He hadn't gone to seek revenge on Wulingzi, nor had he tried to rope in anyone from the Vulture Palace. It was as if he was invisible.
However, he was no longer imprisoned in the cave like before, living a life worse than death.
Now, no matter where he went in the Vulture Palace, almost everyone retreated in fear and respect.
In short, no matter what, Wu Daozi had directly become the second person in the Vulture Palace, second only to Wulingzi.
Moreover, it was very likely that he would go against the current and take back his own position.
…
"Your Highness, what should I do now?" Wu Daozi asked.
Mu Dan said, "You don't need to do anything now. When I need you to do something, I'll tell you."
Wu Daozi bowed and said, "Yes, Your Highness."
Mu Dan turned slightly and said, "Then, I'll take my leave."
"Farewell, Your Highness," Wu Daozi said.
Mu Dan left the Vulture Palace with Leng Ao.
Leng Ao asked, "Who should we give the third second-class evil spirit to?"
Mu Dan said, "You'll know when you see it."
…
Five days later, Yang Dingtian rode on a Demon Eagle and returned to the Skull Hall in the Forbidden Continent's sea area.
Because in a few days, the Council of Light's cultivation group would finish the first stage of cultivation. In the floating palace at the end of the First World, everyone would face a powerful breakthrough.
In fact, although the first Hard Rock Continent was the simplest, the breakthrough it brought was almost the biggest.
After one day and two nights, Yang Dingtian appeared in the Skull Hall.
At this moment, the forty-odd experts of the Radiant Parliament who were bitterly cultivating in the main hall were in pretty good condition. They were exhausted to the extreme, and almost all of them had lost weight. Their faces were filled with extreme exhaustion, and even despair.
But at least none of them had fallen into the deep space in the illusion.
Four days later!
As expected, the group of Dishi Bian, Ling Wu, and Wu Mozhi was the first to reach the end of the First World.
Because Yang Dingtian saw an expression of incomparable enjoyment on their faces. It was the feeling of being baptized by incomparably dense profound energy.
At the same time, in reality, a few powerful energy light pillars suddenly shot down from the dome of the Skull Hall and directly entered the bodies of the three people.
This should be the secret of the dense profound energy in the floating palace in the illusion.
In the Forbidden Continent's illusion, those floating palaces all possessed astonishingly dense and pure profound energy.
In reality, there really was such astonishing profound energy in reality, which provided everyone with a breakthrough in their cultivation.
It was just that the profound energy was actually injected into everyone's body with such precision. It was really amazing.
Not long after, Dongfang Minmie's group also entered the floating palace.
Next was the third group, the fourth group, the fifth group …
Finally, on the twenty-fifth day of cultivation in the Forbidden Continent's illusion, the last group also reached the end.
Now, Yang Dingtian could be sure that there would be more than one floating palace at the northern end of the Hard Rock Continent.
While they were absorbing profound energy in the floating palace, Yang Dingtian closely observed everyone's reaction and counted the number of times they broke through.
First was Dishi Bian. When she left the Ghost Hell Region, she was a Seven Star Level Eight Great Grandmaster.
At this time, more than a year had passed since she started cultivating in the Ghost Hell Region. Before she came to the Forbidden Continent to cultivate, her cultivation was already a Nine Star Level One Great Grandmaster.
Yang Dingtian noticed that she had broken through the first stage of the Forbidden Continent's Hard Rock Plains twice. Therefore, she was already a Nine Star Level Three Great Grandmaster.
As for Wu Mozhi, she was a Seven Star Level One Great Grandmaster when she left the Ghost Hell Region. Before she came to the Forbidden Continent's illusion to cultivate, she was an Eight Star Level Eight Great Grandmaster.
After the end of the Hard Rock Continent, she had broken through four times. Therefore, she was already a Nine Star Level Two Great Grandmaster.
Before Ling Wu came to the Forbidden Continent's illusion, she was an Eight Star Level Nine Great Grandmaster. She had also broken through four times. Therefore, she was already a Nine Star Level Three Great Grandmaster.
There was also his master, Dongfang Minmie. When he obtained Leng Qingchen's body, he was only a Beginner Great Grandmaster.
During these years, he was incomparably busy. Therefore, he had very little time to cultivate.
However, almost three years had passed since his resurrection. Before he came to the Forbidden Continent's illusion, his cultivation was a Three Star Level Five Great Grandmaster.
As for the first stage of cultivation in the Hard Rock Continent, he had broken through two times and became a Five Star Level One Great Grandmaster.
Of course, there was also good news. Qiu Wanjie had already broken through to the Nine Star Level Nine Great Grandmaster. He was only half a step away from becoming a Great Grandmaster. After leaving the Forbidden Continent's illusion, Yang Dingtian would probably be able to help him break through to become a Great Grandmaster.
As for the others, after the first stage of cultivation in the Hard Rock Continent, all of them had huge breakthroughs.
It was believed that after the four stages of cultivation in the Forbidden Continent ended, there would be a few more Great Grandmaster experts in the Council of Light.
…
After everyone had broken through, they passed through the long illusory void and entered the second world, the Lava Plains. It was a Lava Plains that was a few hundred thousand miles wide.
This stage should be the most difficult one of all.
Moreover, the ice attribute experts played a crucial role in this stage.
Of course, the number of ice attribute experts in the Council of Light was less than half.
Therefore, in the second stage of cultivation, it was impossible to completely rely on the ice attribute experts' solidified lava to create a path. Moreover, the fire attribute experts couldn't lose the opportunity to cultivate.
Therefore, the Council of Light spent an astronomical amount of money in the Sky Demon City to purchase many ice attribute mystic talismans.
Although they weren't as precious as the lightning attribute mystic talismans, the price of each ice attribute mystic talisman was similarly astronomical.
Moreover, the efficiency of mystic qi was rather low.
In order to ensure that they successfully passed the second stage, Yang Dingtian had no choice but to prepare a lot of unfreezing water for the fire attribute experts.
Then, he used the energy of the ice attribute mystic talismans to maintain the temperature of the unfreezing water. Then, he used the unfreezing water to create a path through the solidified lava.
The entire process was a huge waste of mystic qi for the fire attribute experts.
However, this was cultivation, and there was no need to be afraid of waste.
At the beginning of the Lava Plains, Yang Dingtian clearly saw everyone's pain and hardship.
In the beginning, they were completely drenched in sweat. Then, there was no sweat at all.
If they didn't replenish their elixirs in time, and if they didn't circulate their mystic qi to resist the terrifying high temperature, they would have died from dehydration.
However, they were fully prepared in the end. Therefore, it looked very shocking. However, there wasn't any danger in the end.
Moreover, after three days, more than a dozen groups of cultivation had entered a steady progress.
The three days now were equivalent to a month.
Dishi Bian, Wu Mozhi, and Ling Wu were considered to be in the best condition. The others had already lost a lot of weight.
The second stage, the Lava Plains, was a few hundred thousand miles wide.
At that time, Yang Dingtian, King Demon Vulture, and Ling Bi's team had walked for a full year in the Taboo Continent's illusory realm. In reality, it had also been a full month.
It was very obvious that these dozen groups had also taken around this time. Perhaps, it was slightly earlier.
Yang Dingtian stayed in the Skull Hall for another three to four days. Seeing that more than a dozen groups were still in a steady state of cultivation, Yang Dingtian left the Skull Hall again and returned to the Central Capital!
Two days and one night later. Not long after Yang Dingtian arrived at the Central Capital, he saw a handsome middle-aged man.
"Your Excellency Yang Dingtian, Wu Daozi of the Vulture Palace is here to pay a visit!"
…
At the same time, Mu Dan found the third evil spirit bestower.
