I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

"The peak of the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation, only one step away from the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation."

Wei Tu, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes and a look of joy appeared on his face.

The fifth level of body refining is the minimum requirement to sneak into the upper realm and withstand the huge spatial pressure within the space cracks.

There is hope, but not much.

Only when a cultivator reaches the late stage of Spirit Transformation can he have more than 60% chance of safely reaching the spiritual world.

Of course, if one adds his "One-foot Heavenly Infant" foundation, fifth-level body refining physique, and many spiritual treasures to protect him - after breaking through to the late stage of Spirit Transformation, this confidence should be as high as 80% to 90%.

However, he had just achieved a breakthrough with the help of the elixir, and within a short period of time, he still needed to consolidate his foundation and stabilize his cultivation. He had not yet had the opportunity to break through to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation.

However, Wei Tu estimated that this period of time would be enough within a few decades, and he should be able to break through to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation before the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace was opened.

After all, he still had a considerable number of mid-grade spirit crystals in his hands.

"The Golden Silkworm Snow Girl has also broken through?"

Wei Tu waved his hand and took the letter outside the cave door. After seeing that the signature was from the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl, he couldn't help but feel moved.

He has been in seclusion for nearly forty years. When he first entered the Great Snow Mountain, the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl was on the verge of breaking through. Today, even if the time required for this girl to stabilize her realm is taken into account, it is more than enough for her to break through to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation.

Wei Tu opened the letter and took a look.

As expected, at the beginning of the letter, the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl revealed the fact that she had already broken through to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

What follows is some pleasantries, as well as the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl asking Wei Tu about the estimated time it would take for him to break through to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and whether he would need her help.

For example, collecting some rare elixirs.

The Golden Silkworm Snow Girl said to herself: With her current strength, it might be a bit exaggerated to say that she can run rampant in the human world, but it is not difficult for her to search the mountains and seas to help Wei Tu find some spiritual medicines and materials.

"This girl is someone you can get along with."

Wei Tu nodded slightly, looking satisfied, and felt more and more that his decision to give the two 'Qianjun Spirit Dolls' to the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl after the war between the two tribes was a wise one.

What he lost were only two Qianjun Spirit Dolls, but what he gained was the friendship of a strong man who also had the hope of ascending.

At the end of the letter, the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl told Wei Tu that she had now left the Great Snow Mountain and was searching for resources to transform into a god, while also helping Wei Tu hunt down Chi Fengtai.

Chi Fengtai...

Wei Tu shook his head, feeling sorry for this Northern Territory cultivator whom he had met before and had a good impression of.

If this woman had hidden herself well after the destruction of the Ghost Palace, he would have had no idea that there was such a "scoundrel" behind her.

But unfortunately, this woman was determined to plot against him and instigated Master Qiye and the Lord of Huoyang Island to deal with him.

Then, his network finally "bite back" at him.

There is no place for this woman in the entire Da Yan cultivation world.

Now, there is the help of Golden Silkworm Snow Girl, a powerful "late stage of transformation of spirits". Unless this woman flees far away overseas, she will be killed soon.

……

When the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl went out, Wei Tu took over her responsibility and stayed in the Great Snow Mountain. On the one hand, he stabilized his realm, and on the other hand, he took the "relics" left by Island Master Ye for his own use.

In the storage bag that he had snatched away, there was not only the formation plate of the "Nine Cities Mysterious Spirit Formation", but also surprisingly, the "Insights on the Way of Formations" that this monster had studied for many years.

And many other flags needed for formation.

The art of formation is different from other immortal arts. Any strong person will not allow himself to have too many shortcomings in this art.

The art of alchemy and the art of talismans require corresponding spiritual objects to advance, but the art of formations only requires painstaking effort and sufficient comprehension to achieve considerable success.

Now, Wei Tu has the "True Explanation of Formation" left by Island Master Ye, as well as many matching formation flags. Naturally, he would not go far away and first improve the two arts of Dan Fu, which are difficult to further practice due to the lack of corresponding resources in the human world.

Moreover, with the foundation that Bai Zhi had laid for him in the art of formations, it was not difficult for him to comprehend the formations left by Island Master Ye in "The True Explanation of the Art of Formations" with his level of a third-level formation master - at least after a period of time, it would not be a problem for him to master the application of fifth-level formations such as the "Nine Capitals Mysterious Spirit Formation".

"Fall!" Several years later, holding the guard map of "The True Explanation of Formations" by Island Master Ye in his hand, he opened his eyes. With a thought, the nine formation flags stacked beside him flew up one by one and turned into nine tiny points of light, hiding in the void around the retreat room.

Then, he flipped his hand, took out a palm-sized red jade array plate, and injected several spells into the array plate.

Then with a "puff" sound, the ruby ​​array plate emitted a bright light, and many obscure runes emerged from it, transforming into rays of light and falling on the nine array flags hidden in the void.

After four or five breaths.

A fifth-grade superior formation surrounding the entire retreat room was quietly completed.

"This formation can be used as the inner formation set up by Island Master Ye to resist the 'Heavenly Ant Ban' outside the Demon Cave. I wonder how powerful it will be in my hands?"

Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly, pointed his fingers, and several green sword qi instantly shot out from his fingertips and slashed towards the void in front of him.

These green sword energies were a fusion of the sword intent of the "Green Emperor's Life-Slaying Sword" that he had practiced for many years. The power of each strike was comparable to a charged strike by an early-stage Spiritualization cultivator.

The condensed green sword energy was just slashed out.

The "Nine Cities Mysterious Spirit Formation" immediately rose up, and a layer of light red rune light wall emerged in the void, blocking the path of the several green sword energies.

But what was surprising was that this divine sword energy that was powerful enough to break gold and split rocks and cut mountains with one sword, when it fell on this light red rune light wall, was easily blocked like water encountering a solid wall. Moreover, with the flash of light from the rune light wall, the remaining sword energy was quickly "swallowed up".

Only the residual power of the sword dissipated in the retreat room, shaking the entire cave as if a dragon had turned over, rumbling continuously.

"It has the effect of absorbing attacking spiritual energy? No wonder this formation was set up by Island Master Ye as the island protection formation for Xuanfeng Island."

Seeing this scene, Wei Tu was overjoyed.

Although the protective formations of each sect and school are powerful, they are all extremely complicated. Most of them are one formation within another, and often require several elders or even dozens of people within the sect to control them together, and consume a huge amount of spirit stones to activate.

However, the "Nine Capitals Mysterious Spirit Formation", a fifth-grade top-grade formation, is different. As the island protection formation of Island Master Ye, it is not only simple to set up, requiring only a formation plate and nine formation flags, but also has extremely low consumption after the formation is set up.

This formation is invaluable simply for the fact that it can absorb the spiritual energy of others and convert it into the power of its own formation.

However, if we don't do this, it would be unfair to the nine flags of the "Nine Cities Mysterious Spirit Formation" that Island Master Ye had worked so hard to refine.

You should know that each of the nine flags of the "Nine Cities Mysterious Spirit Formation" is a fifth-grade lower-grade spiritual treasure!
For an ordinary god to have a spiritual treasure is considered to be a good fortune. How can one be so wealthy that even the flags used for setting up the formation have to be of the level of a fifth-level spiritual treasure?

"Go!" After thinking for a moment, Wei Tu slapped the corpse bag on his waist again and summoned the Toad Water Yin Corpse, letting it attack the Jiudu Xuanling Formation, while he distracted himself to control the formation for defense.

With the blessing of the "Qianjun Spirit Doll", the Chanshui Yin Corpse is comparable to a fifth-stage late-stage refined corpse. Although its strength is far inferior to that of a powerful spirit-transforming warrior of the same level, in terms of pure "strength", it can still reach the level of the late-stage spirit-transforming warrior.

Only by using this corpse to hone one's skills can one test the true power of the "Nine Cities Mysterious Spirit Formation".

Soon, huge forces that were enough to shake mountains were used by the Toad Water Yin Corpses like a tide, continuously "hitting" the rune light wall formed by the Jiudu Xuanling Formation.

Ten breaths.

Twenty breaths.

Thirty breaths passed.

The rune light wall was still shining brightly, but it was a little dimmer than at the beginning, and it was not damaged at all.

Moreover, under Wei Tu's control, the formation of the Jiudu Xuanling Formation changed, and the missing "formation power" was replenished in a moment.

But this is just a stupid fight fought by the Toad Water Yin Corpse!

"Roar! Roar!" The Toad Water Yin Corpse roared angrily, and at the same time, it used the huge force of the corpse refining to slap the rune light wall. At this moment, its mouth opened and closed slightly, and in an instant, it shot out a series of smelly black water arrows.

This is the "toad corpse water" of the Toad Water Yin Corpse, which is equivalent to the innate magical power of the monster. It is not only extremely powerful, but also mixed with extremely dangerous corpse poison.

After a while, under the attack of water arrows formed by the "Toad Corpse Water" and the combined attack of the Toad Water Yin Corpse's body, the operation of the "Nine Cities Mysterious Spirit Formation" finally had some flaws.

Of course, these flaws were not fatal enough and were far from being enough to immediately break the Jiudu Xuanling Formation.

But after three days of attack.

The Jiudu Xuanling Formation finally collapsed, and there were signs that the formation's light shield was breaking.

“Being able to withstand a full-force attack from a late-stage Divine Transformation Master for three days… This formation is enough to change the outcome of the battle!”

Wei Tu was surprised.

With the escape of Island Master Ye in the past, although he attached certain importance to the "Nine Capitals Mysterious Spirit Formation", he did not have high hopes for it. He only regarded this formation as a means to enrich his ability to fight against the enemies in the future.

However, he did not expect that the power of the Jiudu Xuanling Formation was far beyond his expectations.

If he was the island master Ye, and had the help of this formation in the reception hall of Dingmo Cave, there was no way he would abandon this formation and escape alone. After all, this formation was enough for him to fight two enemies alone.

This made him sigh at the "gold content" of the four great hermits who had become gods!

Although he is stronger than these "newly promoted gods" in terms of realm, he is much more cowardly and weak in his character.

Of course, this is also a good thing for him, otherwise he would not have succeeded in blackmailing the bald-browed old man so easily.

With a wave of his sleeves, he used his magic power to absorb the Toad Water Yin Corpse into the corpse bag, allowing the corpse to regain its corpse qi. After that, Wei Tu thought for a moment, then picked up "The True Explanation of the Dao of Formations" again and continued to comprehend this formation, intending to fully master it and be able to use it as if it were his own arm.

The upper limit of the "Nine Capitals Mysterious Spirit Formation" is far more than the fifth-grade upper level. If he has the opportunity to upgrade the grade of the formation flags and re-refine the formation plates, he may be able to make this formation reach the sixth-grade level.

In other words, this formation would be a great means that he could rely on even in the spiritual world.

Another few years passed.

This year, the Feixian League finally brought good news to Wei Tu.

——Chi Fengtai was executed!
This matter is closely related to the skink, the old man with bald eyebrows.

It seems that after instigating Master Qiye and the Lord of Huoyang Island to take action against Wei Tu, Chi Fengtai became path-dependent. When he was being hunted by the Feixian League, he approached the bald-browed old man, intending to let the bald-browed old man come out to solve his "heartache".

But unfortunately, after the trip to Jinyan Island, with Wei Tu's reminder, the bald-browed old man had already been dissatisfied with Chi Fengtai and harbored hidden hatred.

Therefore, even though Chi Fengtai hid her whereabouts well and did not meet the bald-browed old man in person, the bald-browed old man, who was in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, intentionally detected her, and she was still exposed and hunted down by the bald-browed old man for thousands of miles.

However, as the "descendant" of the Ghost Shadow Palace and the inheritor of the Mist Ghost clan, Chi Fengtai has also made great achievements in the art of escape. After being chased by the bald-browed old man, he was lucky enough to escape with the help of a teleportation array that had been set up in advance on the deserted island.

Unfortunately, however, the other side of the teleportation array happened to be within the sphere of influence of the Feixian League!

The quasi-divine cultivator who discovered Chi Fengtai's whereabouts secretly told this information to the supreme elder of the Feixian League, Mao Wenhan.

Afterwards, under the joint pursuit of Mao Wenhan and Luqiu Qingfeng, Chi Fengtai was finally defeated and was killed by Luqiu Qingfeng, who was faster than him, on the coast of the Eastern Region.

This letter was written by Mao Wenhan himself.

After talking about Chi Fengtai, Mao Wenhan also praised Luqiu Qingfeng's strength, saying that Luqiu Qingfeng's cultivation had improved rapidly in the past forty years, and he was expected to become another mid-stage Spirit Transformation expert in the Great Yan Central Region.

However, what made Mao Wenhan rather regretful was that no matter how hard he tried, he could not find out the origins and teachers of Luqiu Qingfeng.

Wei Tu was not surprised by this.

After being baptized by the "blood-colored thunder", Luqiu Qingfeng's bloodline had long since transformed from a pure-blood descendant into a "half-true spirit", a bloodline qualification that is enough to advance all the way to the realm of refining emptiness.

After killing Qi Yaoxian, he deliberately left Qi Yaoxian's inheritance to Luqiu Qingfeng.

Later, after receiving his advice, the woman looted the treasuries of the two major sects in the Eastern Region, the "Golden Spirit Sect" and the "Changjing Sect", and became rich.

With sufficient accumulation and aptitude, there is no reason why Luqiu Qingfeng would be unhappy about his realm breakthrough.

Besides--

There is also good news.

However, this news was not brought by the Feixian League, but was a "gift" to Wei Tu from the traveling Golden Silkworm Snow Girl.

When traveling to the westernmost part of the Western Regions, the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl discovered the ruins of an ancient cultivator, where she obtained some fifth-level monster skins kept by the owner of the cave. Considering that Wei Tu was a fifth-level talisman master, she gave these monster skins to Wei Tu as a reward for his sitting in the Great Snow Mountain.

This move made Wei Tu feel a little amused and helpless.

He stayed in the Great Snow Mountain purely for retreat and practice. How could he have ever protected the Great Snow Mountain?

These fifth-level monster skins were completely given by the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl in return for the lingering charm of the Qianjun Spirit Doll she had given him before.

However, as the "Ascension Alliance" of the human world, the two of them don't need to worry about such a small matter now.

This woman was also a believer. She said she would help him search for spiritual objects. Within a few years, she had delivered the resources to the door of his cave.

"At worst, I can make talismans from the beast skins and give some to the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl..."

Wei Tu shook his head, opened the storage bag that Elder Zhao handed him, and took out the fifth-level monster skins. (End of this chapter)
