I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Half a day later.

Under the command of Lord Ji Le, a group of elite monks from the Ghost Shadow Palace retreated from the evil land of corpses and joined forces with the immortal monks led by Qi Yaoxian to prepare for the attack on the Sword Fire Palace.

Persimmons should be picked soft and pinched.

Of the four sects in the Central Region that are enemies of the Mist Ghost Clan, only two are the Sword and Fire Palace and the Holy Buddha Temple. Among these two, the Sword and Fire Palace, where King Lou Lion is located, is undoubtedly the weakest.

Before the war, inside the monks’ tent of the Ghost Shadow Palace.

The Marquis of Bliss sat in the main seat, with the Ghost King and the Old Man Hidden Ghost sitting on both sides. He looked up at Qi Yaoxian who flew in, his eyebrows slightly raised, and his tone was quite dissatisfied.

"Fairy Qi, according to the information I have obtained, Wen Tianqi's cousin Wen Changying is from the Dingling Sect, and after the turmoil in the Southern Region, they fled to the gate of your Xianling Dao and settled down..."

"Now, the war is about to begin, but I did not see you, the Immortal Spiritual Sect, handing over these hostages. Could it be that... Fairy Qi is still harboring selfish motives and thinks she can still reconcile with Wen Tianqi?"

The Lord of Bliss snorted coldly and questioned.

After Wei Tu escaped from the Southern Region, over the past hundred years, he had already found out the whereabouts of the Dingling Sect, but due to the protection of the Immortal Spiritual Dao, he had kept it secret.

Now, Qi Yaoxian is under his control, so he will not easily reveal this matter.

Of course, he was not naive enough to think that relying solely on the hostages from Dingling Sect could threaten Wei Tu and force him to surrender... He just wanted to kill Wen Changying and the others in front of Wei Tu to vent his anger at having Master Tiegui's body and belongings stolen by Wei Tu.

"Reconciliation with Mr. Wen? I wouldn't be so stupid."

Hearing this, Qi Yaoxian's face turned a little ugly. She looked at Ji Le Shen Hou indifferently with cold eyes, "Besides, even if it is so. This is not a reason for you to blame me."

Although she accepted the benefits given by "Senior Pei", she did not sell herself out. Compared with the other gods in the Ghost Shadow Palace, she had a certain degree of freedom.

It was really a mess. The worst that could happen to her was that she would give up her immortal spiritual foundation, become a casual cultivator, and live in seclusion in the mountains and forests.

By then, she didn't believe that the monks from the Ghost Shadow Palace and the Fog Ghost Clan would be able to find her easily.

But doing so would mean giving up all her current power and future path. She would not make such a choice so easily unless she was in desperate situation.

At least, in her eyes, the plan mentioned by "Senior Pei" still has some promise.

After saying those harsh words.

Qi Yaoxian's tone relaxed again and she began to explain the reason - after all, she didn't really want to cause trouble with the Lord of Bliss.

"After escaping from Master Lan, I immediately returned to Xianling Dao and prepared to take the Dingling Sect monks as hostages."

“However, when I was about to attack… a demon cultivator stopped me. Although this person was only at the quasi-god level, his demonic energy was pure. After using his secret technique, his strength was no less than that of a god cultivator… In addition, I was running low on mana at that time, so I couldn’t withstand a long battle…”

Qi Yaoxian took the initiative to reveal the "scar" of his failure in front of the quasi-god-transforming cultivator.

"This person is suspected to be an ancient demon incarnated into the world!"

She said in a decisive tone.

She had never seen such pure demonic energy on a human demon cultivator. A demon cultivator with such pure demonic energy must have either received the demonic energy initiation from an ancient demon or been possessed by an ancient demon.

And no matter which one, they cannot hide the fact that the Great Yan cultivation world has been interfered with by the ancient demon.

"Ancient demon?" Upon hearing this, Lord Ji Le frowned and thought to himself that something was wrong.

The Fog Ghost Clan is just one of the myriad clans in the spiritual world, and its strength is not much different from that of the human race in the spiritual world.

But the ancient demons are different. They are powerful creatures from another realm that can truly be enemies of all races in the spiritual world.

Once the ancient demon comes to the world, with its strange power, even if "Senior Pei" is in person, he will probably not be able to escape well.

——Its strength cannot be limited by the realm visible to the naked eye.

"But why did this ancient demon save the Dingling Sect monks? Is there something wrong with Wen Tianqi?"

"Yes, if Wen Tianqi is an ancient demon, or a servant of an ancient demon, it can explain his realm and strength, which have improved by leaps and bounds."

The Lord of Bliss subconsciously thought of this, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He was really looking forward to the day when Jiang Lingzi would know the true face of Wei Tu in Lushan.

It is true that the fog ghost clan is the mortal enemy of the human race in the spirit world.

But the ancient demon is the public enemy of all races in the spiritual world!
……

"It should be safe here."

“No matter how strong Qi Yaoxian is, it’s hard for him to catch up here.”

At the same time, in a remote area of ​​the Dayan cultivation world, a middle-aged cultivator wearing silver armor and a mask paused in the air. His tone was quite vicissitudes of life. He tore his hands forward, and a deep, half-space secret realm full of black mist appeared in front of him and the cultivators behind him.

This cultivator is the one that Qi Yaoxian mentioned, the quasi-god-demon cultivator who is suspected to be the "ancient demon descended to the world."

However, in front of Wen Changying and others, this quasi-divine cultivator has another name.

"Senior Fu, what have we done to cause trouble that made the Immortal Spirit Dao Patriarch personally take action against us..."

Wen Changying asked timidly.

The battle more than ten days ago still made it hard for her to believe and forget - the high and mighty ancestor of the Xianling Dao actually attacked their Dingling Sect!

Moreover, Senior Fu, who was entrusted by Wei Tu to escort their Dingling Sect to escape to the Central Region a hundred years ago, suddenly appeared at this dangerous moment, and single-handedly resisted Qi Yaoxian's attack and repelled the God-Transforming Ancestor.

If she hadn't seen all these scenes with her own eyes, she would have suspected that she was dreaming.

"No, it shouldn't be you."

Hearing this, Fu Zhizhou shook his head slightly and looked into the distance in a trance. If he guessed correctly, this should be the trouble caused by his "third brother" Wei Tu, which unfortunately implicated the entire Dingling Sect.

However, it is not appropriate to tell Dingling Zong Daoming about these words.

Moreover, in his opinion, this could not be considered an involvement, but only a matter of mutual benefit and mutual disgrace - after all, Dingling Sect also benefited from Wei Tu's support. Without Wei Tu's help, it was not certain that Dingling Sect would have been able to survive the chaos in the Southern Region alone.

"If it's not us, then it must be..."

Wen Changying is a smart person. Although Fu Zhizhou did not explain the reason, with her experience in dealing with things, she immediately guessed some possibilities.

Wei Tu's figure suddenly appeared in her mind.

A hundred years ago, since they parted in the Southern Region, she had never seen Wei Tu again, nor had she heard any news about him.

However, decades ago, when the immortal monks they came into contact with expressed their affection for them, she guessed that they might have been influenced by Wei Tu.

However, she had never imagined that the level of contact Wei Tu had reached was so high, so high that even the ancestor of the Xianling Dao wanted to be his enemy and even took his anger out on their Dingling Sect.

"Is it hate caused by love?" She was suspicious and couldn't help but tell Qi Yaoxian about Wei Tu's experience with her in Dingling Sect one by one.

The high and mighty Immortal Daoist Patriarch bowed his head and knelt, then stepped forward...

However, just as she was thinking more and more deeply about it, Fu Zhizhou suddenly made a move. With a flick of his sleeves, she and the cultivator from Dingling Sect beside her were thrown uncontrollably into the secret realm that had been opened in front of them.

Immediately afterwards, the entrance to the secret realm connecting to the outside world disappeared in a flash, leaving them staring at each other in bewilderment.

Fortunately, the spiritual energy in the secret realm is not weak, and is at the level of a fourth-level spiritual land, so it does not make them too panicked.

"Cough cough~"

At this time, Fu Zhizhou, who was outside the secret realm, could no longer bear the injuries he suffered after the battle with Qi Yaoxian. He covered his mouth and coughed heavily, with blood oozing out from between his fingers.

However, unlike the red blood of ordinary people, the blood he coughed up was black with red, and emitted a trace of terrible black air.

"The power of the God Transformation Master is too terrifying. Even if Qi Yaoxian was depleted of mana and injured, I couldn't easily deal with him. If it weren't for this half-demon body... I'm afraid I would have died by then."

Fu Zhizhou looked lucky.

With his personality, he is not so righteous. If he didn't know that Wen Changying was related to Wei Tu, and if he hadn't promised Wei Tu to protect Dingling Sect when he evacuated the Southern Region a hundred years ago, he would not have easily taken the risk of attacking Qi Yaoxian...

After all, no matter how weak a spirit is, it is still a spirit.

Fortunately, he made a right bet. After absorbing the demonic energy of Bang Chen, his half-demon body was now as strong as a Divine Transformation body, and he was able to fight against an injured Divine Transformation cultivator.

"However, no matter how strong a quasi-god is, it is still a quasi-god. The most urgent task is to find the remains of the ancient demon, reshape the body, and completely transform my half-demon body into the body of the ancient demon."

"Then maybe I can stand beside my third brother again and fight alongside him."

Fu Zhizhou pondered secretly, and a trace of nostalgia for what happened back then appeared deep in his eyes.

In the past, he was not the one who lagged behind Wei Tu in everything. He was truly on the same starting line with Wei Tu, and even ahead of Wei Tu. He said that he would protect Wei Tu's safety.

It’s a pity that that is already a matter of the Qi training stage.

……

The Great Yan Cultivation Realm, the Northern Region, the land of the far north.

Indoor retreat.

Wei Tu, who had been meditating for several months, finally felt refreshed and found an opportunity for a breakthrough at this moment.

The blood in his body was almost solidified, and his half-open eyes emitted rays of light that were extremely dazzling.

"Right now!" He grabbed the three pieces of Buddha bones on the table with both hands, crushed them with his finger force, and evenly smeared the golden powder on his skin.

In an instant, waves of needle-like pain came from Wei Tu's limbs and bones, making him almost suffer from excruciating pain.

However, at this moment, one could also see a trace of bright golden light visible to the naked eye flowing out from the Buddha bone powder, which was absorbed into his body and then refined into his bone marrow.

Wei Tu clenched his fists involuntarily. A powerful force leaked out from his body. The air in his fists seemed to be burst, and loud "puff" and "puff" sounds were heard.

He clearly felt the increase in his physical strength, and took a step towards the unknown.

He intuitively felt that if he took that step, it would bring him earth-shaking changes.

time flies.

one year later.

The skin coated with "Buddha bone powder" peeled off like snowflakes on Wei Tu's body, revealing his skin that was as white as jade and had a metallic luster.
"Not enough, not enough to take that step."

Wei Tu's eyes sparkled as he looked at the box of his most precious treasures, the Snow Rhinoceros, that Jiang Lingzi had given him.

With his accumulation, even without this box of Snow Rhino's precious flesh, if he continues to train his body for several years or even dozens of years, he will be able to take that step and forcibly break through to the fifth level of body training.

But if one wants to achieve Jiang Lingzi's requirements, a breakthrough within two or three years is far from enough.

However, with this Snow Rhino as my beloved one, I don't have to worry about that.

“Swallow!” Wei Tu flicked his sleeves and used his magic power to open the lid of the jade box. He picked up the bloody piece of his beloved flesh and began to bite and eat it.

This scene made him look like a savage who ate raw meat and drank blood.

However, this is the way to preserve the medicinal properties and blood energy of the Snow Rhino's Heart Meat to the greatest extent.

Moreover, his body was so powerful that his intestines had long been tempered to be harder than copper and iron. Not to mention eating the flesh of the Snow Rhino raw, even if he swallowed a magical weapon, his spirituality could be squeezed out and excreted from his body.

Under the inner vision of Wei Tu’s spiritual consciousness.

He saw that the pieces of Snow Rhino heart meat that he swallowed into his stomach, the moment they entered his stomach, the blood, energy and essence were ground into powder and transformed into visible energy, which was absorbed by his stomach and rushed to the meridians, bones, and the most critical "first spiritual bone".

The previously blurry golden figure on his "first spiritual bone" began to become clearer, and gradually one could see his appearance and the Zhoutian acupoints on his body that changed from time to time.

In the early stage of the fourth stage, the first spiritual bone is condensed.

Middle stage of the fourth stage, the spiritual body is imprinted in the bones.

In the late fourth stage, the spiritual body begins to appear.

When one reaches the fifth stage of body refinement, he will completely refine the "spiritual body" unique to body refiners, and draw on the power of the sun to condense the first immortal robe - the Yangpo Immortal Robe.

At this point, the body cultivator's Dharma body will be comparable to spiritual treasures of the same level, his immortal clothes will not be torn, and his Dharma body will not be damaged.

"In the middle stage of the fifth stage, it is the Yin Po Immortal Clothes, the soul is like iron, and the soul is difficult to invade! In the late stage of the fifth stage... the Water and Fire Immortal Clothes, all kinds of magic are invulnerable, and the blood is like the sea..."

In Wei Tu's mind, the fifth-level body refining knowledge mentioned in the "Casting Dao Immortal Source Sutra" kept emerging, and he looked extremely excited.

If we say that after breaking through the fourth stage of body refining, the body refiner truly possesses supernatural powers and the ability to regenerate the body, it is no longer just a characteristic of strong physical body.

Then, breaking through the fifth level of body refining... is truly revealing the unique power of a body refiner.

The Yangpo Immortal Robe and the Yinpo Immortal Robe, each of these immortal robes is a great bonus to the strength of the body cultivator.

All other laws cannot be approached, but one can engage in close combat, and is truly invincible on the battlefield.

"The next step is to draw the power of the sun and condense the Yang Soul Immortal Clothes."

Suppressing all distracting thoughts in his mind, Wei Tu closed his eyes slightly and began to condense the Yangpo Immortal Robe according to the guidance of the technique.

The "power of the sun" mentioned in the exercises is not the real power of the sun, but the blood in his body. When he visualizes himself as a scorching sun, he uses this blood to weave his Yangpo Immortal Robe.

Otherwise, with the "Golden Toad Qi" and "Sun-gazing Golden Pupil" he cultivated in his early years, this step would be extremely simple. (End of this chapter)
