In the cave dwelling, Qin Shi was indifferent. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
During this time, Qin Shi followed the method recorded in the Fallen Star Tyrant Body Technique to temper his soul. With the assistance of Jade In The Book, some of the more difficult areas were easily solved. The fourth level of the Fallen Star Tyrant Body Technique: Spirit Refinement.
The so-called Spirit Refinement referred to the Spirit of Essence, Qi, and Spirit. Spirit included divine sense, divine sense, and intelligence. All of these were reflected in one's Sea of Consciousness. Humans gained intelligence when they were still in their mother's womb. In this aspect, they had an advantage over many fierce beasts and fierce devils. However, due to their weak physical bodies, when fierce beasts cultivated their intelligence, they would fall behind a lot. However, this also showed that intelligence could be cultivated after birth. Just like the jade in the book, it was originally a Tool Spirit, and after ten thousand years of tempering, it had gained intelligence.
The fourth level of the Fallen Star Tyrant Body Technique, Spirit Refinement, was a relatively violent cultivation method.
Spirit Refinement actually destroyed Qin Shi's intelligence, divine sense, and divine sense, which were known as the three Divine Seas of Consciousness, and then rebuilt them. Every time he cultivated, it was extremely painful. There were even a few times when Qin Shi wanted to scratch the wall … Every time … it made him feel like he was better off dead than alive. The huge Sea of Consciousness, which was nearly a million meters long, was blown up. It was like pieces of flesh were being dug out of Qin Shi's body. It was an unbearable pain.
This cultivation method was quite similar to the first three levels of the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Array. The soul was crushed into powder, and then reconstructed.
"…"
"Could it be that these ancient Great Gods all have masochistic tendencies?"
Qin Shi couldn't help but curse in his heart. However, it had to be said that this cultivation method was indeed effective. In just a short half a month, Qin Shi's Knowledge Sea had expanded infinitely. In fact, after several hundred rounds of torture, Qin Shi's essence, energy, and spirit had reached an unprecedented height. Not only did he break through to the Curse Domain Realm, his soul was also exceptionally strong, no longer as unstable as it was before.
"Almost there. With your current soul, although you can't leave your body and fight alone, it shouldn't be a problem for you to leave your body for a short period of time. This is the beginning of the fourth level of the Fallen Star Tyrant Body Technique. But don't forget, the true strength of the Fallen Star Tyrant Body Technique is that you can borrow the power of fierce beasts. The first three levels are like this, and the last two levels are the same."
"You mean, in the fourth level, I can also borrow the power of fierce beasts?"
Thinking of this, Qin Shi frowned slightly. He naturally understood that the first three levels relied on the skin, tendons, and bones of fierce beasts. But the fourth level, refining the spirit … Could it be that it relied on the spirit of fierce beasts?
"The fourth level is not borrowing, but devouring. You can strengthen your spirit by devouring the souls of fierce beasts."
"There's no need to rush this. When your Dharma Body is completed, you will naturally have the chance to test it out yourself."
"Then, the fifth level is to devour souls?"
"The fifth layer …" At the mention of the fifth layer, the Evil Devil's calm expression changed slightly. It shook its head and said, "I don't know. Even I can't see through the fifth layer. Perhaps you will only know after you reach the fifth layer."
Hearing this, Qin Shi was slightly disappointed. But he wasn't in a hurry. Sooner or later, he would reach the fifth level. He was confident about this.
"Then, can you tell me more about forging the Dharma Body now?"
"Yes. Forging a Dharmakaya is actually a very tedious task. It takes up to a few years. During this period, you need to redirect your blood, tendons, and bones to forge a second set of the same five organs in your body. Only then can the Dharmakaya be considered to have been formed."
"Isn't that the same as creating a new body?"
"A Dharma body is like this. However, this physical body is built within your original physical body. Of course, if you finish refining the demonic body in the future and your soul is strong enough, you will be able to control two physical bodies by yourself."
Qin Shi was startled. This meant that two people would have the same soul.
"What do I need to do?"
"There's no rush. First, you need to obtain the body of a World Realm Master. This will be much more convenient."
"The body of a World Realm Master?"
Qin Shi clicked his tongue slightly. This was not an easy task … Putting aside the fact that it was difficult for him to defeat a World Realm expert with his current cultivation, even if he could, it was hard to say whether there were any World Realm experts in the outer sea palace.
"So, you need to find a way to enter the inner three thousand."
"This is really a long road."
Qin Shi couldn't help but feel helpless. He had thought that once he cultivated a strong enough soul, he would be able to forge the Dharma Body. He hadn't expected that this was just the beginning. And the end of this road was extremely far.
"This is also why I asked them for 10 years!"
"10 years …."
The evil demon said, "Actually, you have a good opportunity to get to the inner three thousand."
"You mean the Deep Sea Source Pool?"
"Yes, that's right. The Deep Sea Source Pool existed in the Demon Realm before. Once it appeared, it would be a treasure fought over by tens of thousands. The 7,000 Sea Palace is no exception."
After a pause, Qin Shi shook his head. The evil demon was right, but he wasn't one to go back on his word. "Forget it. I'll find another opportunity. Since I've already given the ticket to Tuoba Li, there's no need to think about it."
"There's still a chance to get the ticket. Have you forgotten what that kid said?"
"You mean the Ten Direction Palace?"
"That's right. The Ten Direction Palace will organize a competition among the outer disciples. Given your ability and the strength of your soul, you'll be able to suppress the Demon Blood even more. At that time, you'll be hard pressed to find a worthy opponent in the outer region. It won't be difficult to get another ticket."
Qin Shi thought about it. This was indeed a good idea. He nodded. "This matter needs to be discussed at length. I think there should be a limit to the number of people who can compete for the ticket. There's no hurry. There's still some time before the Deep Sea Source Pool. I'll go back and ask.
The evil demon was no different. As for the rest of the time, Qin Shi naturally used it to suppress the Demon Blood.
Of course, during this half a month, everything was peaceful in his cave abode. Outside, there was a storm of blood.
The matter of Qin Shi snatching Lu Peng's cave abode directly alarmed the entire Cultivation Tower. Lu Peng killed his way from the first floor all the way back to the seventh floor. Currently, everyone in the Cultivation Tower was full of hatred for Qin Shi, but they didn't dare to say anything.
In the blink of an eye, another half a month had passed. In this one month's time, Qin Shi remained in seclusion within the Immortal Palace. The only time he went out was to find Lu Peng. He used his perfected Furious Wave Washing Palm to exchange for thirty thousand Sea Spirit Pills in order to deeply suppress the demonic blood. It had to be said that Lu Peng was really overflowing with wealth. Seeing the improved Furious Wave Washing Palm, without saying a word, he paid thirty thousand Sea Spirit Pills to Qin Shi.
Qin Shi also knew a little about Lu Peng. He was a complete martial arts fanatic who didn't care about the politics of the Tuoba Palace. He wholeheartedly studied martial arts and cultivation. He was much more ambitious than the three Tuoba Li brothers.
The next day, early morning.
A huge movement suddenly came from the Cultivation Tower.
Rumble!
This movement alarmed the entire Cultivation Tower. Even though the Cultivation Tower was made entirely of Deep Sea Darksteel, it was still alarmed by the spiritual energy outside. Qin Shi couldn't help but frown in his cave abode. Just now, he was at the critical moment of suppressing his Demon Blood. This sudden change almost caused his Demon Blood to relapse, which made him a little angry.
When his Qi and blood stabilized, Qin Shi gradually opened his eyes. This movement also aroused his curiosity. An energy fluctuation that could penetrate into the Deep Sea Darksteel was not something an ordinary person could do.
At this time, the inside and outside of the Cultivation Tower was already in chaos.
"Quick!
Quick!
This opportunity can't be missed, it won't come again! "
"What's wrong, Your Excellency?"
"Someone is challenging the ninth floor!"
"What?
Challenging the ninth floor?
Does he not want to live anymore? "
At this time, outside the Cultivation Tower, countless Tuoba Palace disciples heard the news and came.
In the entire Cultivation Tower, thousands of disciples also came out of their cave abodes, curious to know who was so reckless as to challenge the ninth floor.
As soon as Qin Shi walked out of the cave, a majestic pressure was transmitted from the air, causing him to frown. His silhouette flickered, and only then did he avoid being affected. After that, he saw the railings of the eighth floor shatter, and a figure in a sorry state smashed fiercely onto the railings. Qin Shi's expression changed slightly when he saw that figure. This figure was actually Lu Peng?
The one challenging the ninth floor was Lu Peng?
Qin Shi slightly narrowed his eyes, then slowly raised his head, looking at the ninth floor of the Cultivation Tower. What he saw was an old man in his seventies standing in front of the ninth floor's cave abode. He had a head full of white hair and a long white beard, giving him a sense of immortality. His old eyes were as sharp as knives, falling on Lu Peng's body, "Hehe, there are quite a few ignorant little kids this year."
"But as I said back then, anyone who dares to challenge the ninth floor, regardless of their background, will have to pay the price of three months!"
At this time, the old man slowly raised his withered hand, his palm facing Lu Peng's chest. A ball of spiritual power, compressed to the limit, shot towards Lu Peng with a flick of his finger.
"Half a step into the Realm Realm?"
The ball of light left the old man's hand, and Qin Shi's expression changed. From the old man's aura, he could faintly sense the aura of the Realm Realm. But there was still a gap from the true Realm Realm, and it was undoubtedly half a step into the Realm Realm.
Half a step into the Realm Realm. Ever since Qin Shi had arrived at the 7,000 Sea Palace, besides the three Long Clan siblings, the strongest people he had seen were the Qiu Shanyao brothers and Tuoba Kuang. Even they paled in comparison to this old man.
Because of this, Qin Shi knew very well that if this attack were to hit Lu Peng, it would be just as the old man had said. Lu Peng would have to spend at least three months bedridden, and it might even be fatal.
Qin Shi narrowed his eyes. He hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he put one hand behind his back and formed two strange forces. He gripped the air, and Lu Peng's body was pulled out of the spiritual light.
Boom!
Immediately, the platform of the eighth level of the Cultivation Tower was smashed into dust. Seeing this, Qin Shi narrowed his eyes. This old man really wanted Lu Peng's life.
Lu Peng was rescued by Qin Shi. Seeing the smashed platform in the distance, he broke out in cold sweat.
"Now you know fear?
Why did you challenge the ninth floor for no reason? "Qin Shi said angrily.
