I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

More than ten days later.

Wei Tu flew down to the hillside of a deserted island hill near the Blood Phoenix Mountain.

Then, he thought for a moment, took out a round bead like a star stone from his sleeve, and after injecting several magical powers into it, a ray of light suddenly gushed out from the bead and illuminated the large void in front of him.

Under the illumination of this rosy glow, a stone gate full of prohibitions and shining with spiritual light suddenly appeared from the void.

"This treasure is indeed effective." Wei Tu stroked the bead in his palm that looked like a star stone and smiled.

This treasure is the "Nine Yuan Flying Star Pearl" that Huang Juzhi gave him when he was in the Nascent Soul stage.

This thing is not a magic weapon, but a rare treasure that has the power to penetrate the void and lock onto secret realms.

With the help of this treasure, the ancestors of the Huang family discovered the secret medicine garden of the ancient Nanhua sect near Zheng State, and named this secret realm Yunze Secret Realm.

Although the ancestor of Blood Phoenix Mountain gave him the location and spatial coordinates of "Tianyi Realm", without the help of the "Nine Yuan Flying Star Pearl", it would be difficult for him to find the portal to "Tianyi Realm" here immediately with magic in a short period of time.

There is no other reason. These secret realms in semi-space are constantly flowing with the human world. They do not have definite fixed spatial coordinates and at most have only an approximate location.

However, this "approximately" can often be "a hair's breadth away from the truth", which can be extremely misleading.

“Now, it’s time to break the formation.” Wei Tu’s eyes flashed with golden light, and he began to observe the spiritual restrictions on the stone gate with his golden sun-gazing pupils.

This spiritual ban, perhaps because of the difference between the two major cultivation worlds, was not mentioned in Island Master Ye's "True Explanation of the Way of Formations". However, in Wei Tu's opinion, it also falls within the broad category of sealed spiritual bans. As long as the right method is found, it is not difficult to break.

Two days later, Wei Tu had some ideas about how to break the spiritual ban. Without hesitation, he flipped his hand, took out more than ten formation flags, and arranged them near the stone gate.

As he made a gesture, the dozen or so flags suddenly glowed brightly and connected into a strange formation. They then rose up from the ground with a rustle, and the flags rolled up and inserted directly into the stone gate.

The spiritual ban on the stone gate seemed to have failed and did not resist the arrival of more than ten formation flags.

“Break!” Wei Tu shouted in a low voice, and his magic power continued to flow into the [Thunder Snake Flag] in his palm. After pushing this treasure to the extreme, he raised his hand slightly and stabbed it on the stone gate.

Just hear a roar.

The spiritual barrier of the tightly locked stone door was instantly shaken, and wisps of extremely pure spiritual energy leaked out.

Once, twice.

Wei Tuxiang seemed tireless as he urged his magical treasure, the Thunder Snake Flag, to attack the spiritual barrier of the stone gate more than ten times in succession.

Finally, on the fourteenth time, this extremely thick and rock-hard spiritual restriction finally shattered completely with a "crack" sound, like glass.

"It's just me. If it were someone else, even if they were proficient in formations, it would probably take them several years to have a chance of breaking this formation." Wei Tu shook his head and couldn't help but think to himself.

He and Master Jinghuang are at the same realm, both are in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, so the sealing formation set up by Master Jinghuang may be an insurmountable chasm for other Spirit Transformation Realms, but for him, it is obviously not the case.

In a word.

If they were in the same era, Master Jinghuang would most likely not be a match for this "one-foot-tall celestial infant" during his lifetime, let alone after his death.

As the spiritual ban collapsed, the stone door was easily pushed open by Wei Tu. With a flash of light, he easily squeezed in.

After Wei Tu entered, the stone door quickly disappeared into the void and disappeared again.

Like most secret realms.

The area of ​​Tianyi Ruins is not large, but compared with other secret realms, the spiritual energy here is extremely pure. In the human world, it is considered one of the best spiritual places.

With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he soon found the place where Master Jinghuang had been in seclusion during his lifetime, in a cave located in a rockery in the secret realm.

However, Wei Tu did not rush into the cave, but looked at the two spiritual medicine gardens scattered near the cave with great surprise.

There is a king of medicine growing in each of these two spiritual medicine gardens, and the grade of both is middle-grade fifth grade.

Just getting these two fifth-grade mid-quality spiritual medicines was worth the trip.

"Tens of thousands of years ago, the prosperity of the human world was not as great as in ancient times, but it was much stronger than it is today. These two fifth-grade middle-grade spiritual medicines might have been something that Master Jinghuang looked down upon back then."

This thought came to Wei Tu’s mind.

These two spiritual herbs, if taken alone, would not help his cultivation much. However, after being refined into spiritual pills using alchemy techniques, the benefits to his cultivation would be considerable.

After collecting all the spiritual herbs, Wei Tu straightened his clothes, bowed at the entrance of Master Jinghuang's cave, said "sorry to bother you", and then pushed open the door.

Although these red tapes are unnecessary and the dead cannot see them, Master Jinghuang has no grudges against him. Since he is inheriting his legacy today, he should naturally be grateful.

There are not many arrangements inside the cave, only roughly planned alchemy rooms, living rooms, retreat rooms, animal rooms, etc.

As soon as he entered the "Tianyi Ruins", Wei Tu explored it with his spiritual sense, so he did not walk much at this moment, but went straight to the study where the remains of Master Jinghuang were left.

Inside the study, dozens of jade slips and some gold and jade books were neatly placed on the bookshelf, and on the ground was a male corpse lying horizontally.

But unlike ordinary corpses, half of this male corpse was charred black, and the other half was like warm jade, emitting a faint fluorescence. Near the coccyx, there were more than a dozen blood-colored crystals and white crystals the size of a fingernail scattered around.

Wei Tu took a quick look at these fingernail-sized blood-colored crystals and white crystals with his spiritual sense and recognized that they were the life-long essence of Master Jinghuang that Old Monster Dingyang and others coveted.

"Is it because of the end of life calamity?"

Wei Tu pondered for a moment, with something in mind.

A spirit is different from an ordinary person. His corpse will not decay like that of an ordinary person. In the presence of spiritual energy, even if he has existed for thousands of years, he will still be alive, as if he had just died.

Now, only a pair of bones and these fingernail-sized blood-colored and white crystals are left of Master Jinghuang, which is obviously different from the "normal" death of a deity.

The burn marks on half of his remains seem to prove this.

“It seems that this heavenly tribulation of end of life should be a heavenly tribulation targeting the cultivator’s physical body, which is different from the heavenly tribulation of incarnation and other heavenly tribulations.” He thought to himself.

Only this can explain why the remains of Master Jinghuang are in this state, and why the cultivation level of a spirit can be extended again after he has passed the heavenly tribulation.

"But it's also good this way. These purified true essences are just right for the Sky-Splitting Eagle to swallow."

Wei Tu narrowed his eyes, slapped the spirit beast bag on his waist, summoned the Sky-Splitting Eagle, and threw a blood-colored crystal on the ground into the Sky-Splitting Eagle's mouth.

He is not a hopeless person like the old monster Dingyang. Before coming to "Tianyi Ruins", he did not have the slightest desire for the true essence of Master Jinghuang.

——These true essences and vital energies are not much different from the "human pills" refined using the magic method of making human pills.

It’s just that one is formed naturally, while the other is cultivated by cultivators.

For him, the "One-foot Heavenly Infant", to swallow these was an act that would completely destroy his own foundation.

I came to Tianyi Ruins just to get the inheritance left by Master Jinghuang after his death.

It’s a pity that there seems to be no storage magic tool left by Master Jinghuang during his lifetime near the remains.

This is normal. After all, Master Jinghuang died while trying to survive the calamity. It is impossible for him to carry the storage tools with him before his death. He must have packed these things and left them to the descendants of Xuehuang Mountain.

“Here.” After picking up the blood-colored crystals and white crystals on the ground one by one, Wei Tu came to the retreat room in the cave. After searching for a while, he found the storage bag that Master Jinghuang had hidden during his lifetime in a mechanism.

His eyes lit up and he immediately opened the storage bag.

But unfortunately, because too much time has passed, the treasures in the storage bag have lost their spiritual nourishment, and more than 90% of the things have decayed. Only some high-level spiritual objects still retain a certain spirituality.

However, these high-level spiritual objects were not treasures that Wei Tu cared about. They only enriched his collection.

However, Wei Tu didn't care about this. Coming to "Tianyi Ruins" this time was something he had not expected.

Be happy when you gain, and don't be depressed when you lose.

Two fifth-grade mid-quality spiritual medicines and more than ten pieces of Master Jinghuang's life-long true essence have made his trip worthwhile.

"Whoa!"

At this moment, when Wei Tu was about to collect the remains of Master Jinghuang and exit from Tianyi Ruins, the Sky-Splitting Eagle that had swallowed the blood-colored crystal suddenly changed.

The slightly smaller head began to grow rapidly and soon became the same size as the original head.

His "Spiritual Transformation Realm" that seemed to be on the verge of breaking through, finally showed signs of a breakthrough at this moment!

A majestic nine-headed bird suddenly appeared behind the Sky-Splitting Eagle. Its nine heads and eyes glowed with cold light as it looked up and down at the heaven and earth...

After a moment, the nine heads opened their beaks and began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy in big gulps, pouring it into the Sky-Splitting Eagle that was suspended in the air and soaring.

Seeing this, Wei Tu thought for a moment, then took out two blood-colored crystals from his storage bag and threw them to the Sky-Splitting Eagle who was preparing to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm.

With the help of these two blood-colored crystals, the Sky-Splitting Eagle's momentum increased again, and soon its Dharma image, which was several meters in size, almost covered half of the "Tianyi Ruins".

Even the cave of Master Jinghuang was turned into ruins by the ravages of the true spirit image of the Sky-Splitting Eagle.

Seeing this situation, Wei Tu did not stay any longer. After using his spiritual sense to instruct the Sky-Splitting Eagle for a few words, he flashed a light and flew out of the "Tianyi Ruins" and came to the outside world.

The moment he came out from the outside world.

In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, and countless calamity clouds gathered, beginning to breed a terrifying thunder calamity.

"This sculpture is also blessed by good fortune."

Wei Tu shook his head, feeling emotional.

The Sky-Splitting Eagle's path to advancement seemed to be just about swallowing a blood-colored crystal stone formed by the true essence of Master Jinghuang, but in fact, it was much more difficult than his and Luqiu Qingfeng's breakthroughs.

First, he deprived the blood of the Luqiu clan and raised his own "blood limit". Then, he had to practice the "Blood Magic" purchased from Master Black Wolf and integrate the blood in his body...

The former almost caused the Sky-Splitting Eagle to die.

The latter allowed the monster, Sky-Splitting Eagle, to practice for more than a hundred years with the help of mid-grade spirit crystals.

If it were any other cultivator with good qualifications, with his support, they would have probably broken through to the Spiritual Transformation stage long ago and would not have remained at the quasi-fifth-level.

Of course, this was also because the space escape technique [Red Spirit Wings] awakened in the Sky-Splitting Eagle was worth investing in for him.

Otherwise, no matter how long they had been together, he would not have spent so much time and effort on a monster.

……

The noise of the Sky-Splitting Eagle breaking through to the fifth level quickly attracted the attention of nearby monks.

However, after sensing the huge spiritual pressure emanating from Wei Tu, they looked at each other for a moment and then quickly left, not daring to stay for too long.

However, the divine tribulation is no small matter after all.

After the cultivators within a hundred miles dispersed, less than half a month later, all the ancestors of the several major Shenhua sects that still existed in Guixu Sea gathered here.

These gods-transforming cultivators were none other than Wu Xingsi, the Blood Phoenix Mountain Patriarch, and Venerable Han Yue.

After seeing Wei Tu, Venerable Han Yue was very pleased to mention the recent situation of Guixu Sea after Wei Tu left.

With him personally leading the troops, Xiaohuan Palace and Shenyue Sect, which had lost the protection of Venerable Tong and Old Ancestor Jinsha, were naturally vulnerable. After a few days, they were defeated and became affiliated sects under the Jishan Sect.

As for the Haoyang Sect cultivators who fled ahead of time...

It's not that easy to hunt down.

During the time when Wei Tu was away from Jishan Sect, Jishan Sect only captured a few Nascent Soul elders, and the whereabouts of the rest of the cultivators from various sects were unknown.

However, old monster Dingyang is dead, and the Haoyang Sect cannot become a big force without the protection of the God of Transformation. Therefore, apart from continuing to issue killing orders, Venerable Hanyue did not put too much effort in this regard.

"I just don't know who this cultivator who is transcending the tribulation in Tianyi Ruins is to Junior Brother Wei?"

After the greetings, Venerable Han Yue avoided Wu Xingsi and the Blood Phoenix Mountain Patriarch and asked curiously.

In his opinion, even if Wei Tu, who has achieved the late stage of transformation into a god, will not stay in Jishan Sect for long in the future, there will always be the relationship of incense and worship from before... Wei Tu's friends who have achieved the stage of transformation into a god can naturally be regarded as part of Jishan Sect and become one of the backgrounds of Jishan Sect's future.

"This person is not Wei's friend, but just... a spirit beast by Wei's side. Senior Brother Han Yue, you have seen it before."

Wei Tu did not hide anything and spoke frankly.

"That Sky-Splitting Eagle?" Upon hearing this, Venerable Han Yue was stunned at first, and then he instantly remembered the big blue eagle that had always been following Wei Tu.

After all, this is the only spiritual beast that Wei Tu has.

"Is that it?"

Venerable Han Yue's expression suddenly became complicated.

It would be fine if he was supporting his Taoist partner to break through to the Divine Transformation stage, but now, even a Spiritual Eagle has become a fifth-level demon beast...

He suddenly felt that he, a master of the divine transformation realm, was not so impressive after all.

……

Come in a hurry, go in a hurry.

After knowing that it was Wei Tu's "friend" who had made a breakthrough in seclusion, Wu Xingsi, the two ancestors of Blood Phoenix Mountain, and Venerable Han Yue would not disturb him any further.

After expressing their friendship to Wei Tu with some words, they all left.

At the same time, when they left, they also instructed the monks under the sect to make it a forbidden area, and that as long as the heavenly calamity did not dissipate, the monks of the sect were not allowed to enter.

Of course, this little thing is not something that Wei Tu, who is waiting for the Sky-Splitting Eagle to break through, can know. (End of this chapter)
