Refusing to ascend at the beginning

Chapter 229 Departure
Spiritual energy is an ethereal existence.

Although it can be perceived and used by practitioners, it is not easy to turn it into a substantial inner elixir.

It belongs exclusively to the world, and everyone can take it and use it, but they cannot own it.

Practitioners at lower realms essentially just borrow and transport the spiritual energy of this world and use their techniques to drive them.

Before the Third Realm, practitioners could not even leave spiritual energy behind, let alone turn it into inner elixir.

Due to this characteristic, the formation of pills can only be realized after the caves in the four realms are opened.

Cave Heaven is another world independent of the world outside the body. It belongs to the practitioner alone and is not affected by this world.

During the journey of cultivation, to put it bluntly, one has been stealing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and turning it into one's own possessions.

This is why the two realms of the Five Realms Cave Heaven Realm and the Seven Realms Immortal Fetus Realm have become the two major dividing lines for practitioners.

Of these two realms, the former begins to completely transform the aura of heaven and earth into one's own aura, which is alchemy.The latter is to sublimate the alchemy energy again and turn it into the energy of the immortal fetus, and then slowly turn it into the energy of the fairy spirit as the immortal fetus grows.

It is fundamentally different from the borrowed spiritual energy from heaven and earth before the Five Realms.

It's not that one's own aura is superior to the aura of heaven and earth, but after being transformed into one's own body, it will inevitably be more in tune with oneself and exert greater power.

The top of the Nine Realms is actually the highest limit that practitioners can steal from the world in this world.

When you reach the Nine Realms, there is nothing you can steal.

If you want to go further, you can only ascend to a wider world, and then you can continue to go up.

If a cultivator of the Nine Realms stays here, after 3000 years of lifespan is exhausted and the body dies and the Tao disappears, the fairy spirit energy left in this world will slowly be assimilated and reclassified into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Su Han is now at the most important stage of stealing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and must slowly transform it into his own elixir energy.

First gather the spirits into sand, and then gather the sand into elixir.

From quantitative change to qualitative change.

This will be a very long process.

Of course, this also depends on the practitioner's level of cave heaven and the control of spiritual energy.

After Su Xuan condensed a grain of dark purple spiritual sand, he opened his eyes, slightly in a trance.

The speed of this practice was actually much faster than his previous life!
He quickly figured out the joints.

All of this is now possible thanks to his practice in front of the True Dragon Heart Fire in the Third Realm, which allowed him to open up all the Ashi points and then form the Perfect Cave.

The reason why the caves in the Four Realms are divided into grades are the so-called ordinary caves, the excellent caves, the super caves, and his perfect cave at this time.

It's because every unexplored Ashi point is a loophole in the cave within the body.

A loophole that creates a connection with the world.

The more loopholes there are, the greater the influence of the outside world on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained in the body.This will cause both the cultivation of the four realms and the level of alchemy after attaining the fifth realm to be greatly affected.

The lower the level of the cave, not only will the cultivation speed be slower, but the elixir formed will also be more mottled.

Su Han's perfect cave at this time blocked every Ashi point, making the cave in his body truly isolated from the world, without any connection.

After the world's control over the spiritual energy was cut off, the spiritual energy in his body became an ownerless thing, and he could control it more easily. In addition, he was already very familiar with the process of gathering spirits and turning them into sand. All in all, this prompted him to His cultivation speed exceeded that of his previous life.

Moreover, the spiritual sand he condensed has no mottled impurities.

It can be foreseen that the elixir produced in the future should also be the highest quality purple gold elixir!
Su Han looked inside the dark purple spiritual sand and made a simple calculation in his mind.

In his previous life, he practiced daily in the Qianxiu Land, and it took him four years to advance to the fifth realm.

In this life, although the original bones are not as good as those in the previous life, fortunately, I have encountered adventures and the speed of practice is even better. If I still concentrate on practice, I can advance to the fifth realm in about two years.

It's just that there are too many things to do in this life, and it is acceptable if one can maintain the original four-year promotion.

After all, there are only four and a half years left before the Immortal Sect Grand Meeting, and there is not much time left. It can only be said to be just enough.

If most practitioners knew that he thought "promoting to the fifth realm in four years is only acceptable", they would probably be so angry that they would throw up the table!

In the world of spiritual practice, the majority are practitioners with mediocre talents.And it takes them almost three to forty years to reach the fifth realm.And Su Han has already saved nearly ten times the time, but it’s still not enough?

It's really a drought, a drought, a flood, a flood!
Su Han withdrew his spiritual thoughts and looked into the cave, and fell into deep thought.

He has stayed here long enough. Now that his cultivation has been consolidated, it is time to set off and go to the Qiye Strait to find the whereabouts of the third dragon scale fragment.

I don't know how long this search will take.

Set off early and come back early to meditate and improve your cultivation level, so as not to avoid being promoted to the fifth realm during the Immortal Sect's grand gathering.

After deciding to leave, he thought for a while, his mind moved slightly, and the Qing Chi Sword and the Shuyou Sword contained in the cave appeared at the same time.

As usual, Shu Youjian was circling around him excitedly like a tiger coming out of its cage, while Qing Chi Sword was like its big brother, just floating quietly in front of him, very calm.

Perhaps because he felt that the Shuyou Sword was too moveable, a wisp of breath suddenly came out of the Qing Chi Sword, and the former quickly stopped and stood beside the latter honestly.

After Su Han came out of the Qing Chi Sword Sect, he first consolidated his cultivation that had been delayed for half a year. After condensing the first piece of spiritual sand, he had other thoughts to review the previous events.

This time, the Qing Chi Sword Sect’s Millennium Festival was quite fruitful.

Of course, this is not talking about the harvest of genius treasures and peerless skills. These things have no appeal to him, and he has many of them in his own storage bag.

Instead, he learned a lot of truths and secrets, and inherited the sword left by his master. This is the most valuable thing.

He looked at the Qing Chi sword in front of him, and his spiritual thoughts moved again——

Fragments of the Dragon Blade and a bow that looked like white jade appeared in front of him.

The Qing Chi sword trembled slightly, and then released a wisp of breath, blending with the two, as if they were one.

Three of the six divine weapons forged by the True Dragon for the Six Meridians of Starfire fell into his hands without even realizing it.

No, it should be said that it is two and a half pieces. After all, the Long Yi Dao is still in a incomplete state and needs to be repaired urgently.

And that white jade-like bow is the true dragon bow.

According to the dragon scale fragment "No. [-]", the bow body is made of dragon bones and the bow string is made of dragon tendons.

This was an opportunity he got during the opening of the dragon's nest mirage in his previous life, and at that time, he had a brief exchange of spiritual thoughts with the real dragon.

Because this bow represents a promise.

He also said that if Su Han asked for anything from it in the future, it would be satisfied within the allowable range.

At that time, Su Han didn't know the meaning of "permissible scope". Now it seems that because of the bloodline restriction, there are restrictions on its actions.

Previously, he told Xu Lele that there was a way to see the real dragon and let it use its inner fire to save Cheng Yingyue, also because he had the real dragon bow in his hand.

As for the other three magic weapons, one should be in the hands of Xianhen, and the other one is in the Fire Demon Sect.

The whereabouts of the last one are unknown.

One day, I wonder if we can gather the six sparks together, and then use these six magic weapons to set off another prairie fire...

He looked at the three artifacts like old friends reunited, and said softly: "What happened back then, I am still exploring, clearing away the fog bit by bit. But the more I learn about it, the more I feel that you... The darkness I faced back then may have a lot to do with what I’m facing now.”

The blade of the Qing Chi Sword trembled slightly, making a buzzing sound.

"I inherited you from the master. I not only inherited the Swordless Scabbard, but also his will to break the darkness shrouded in the Third Age. No matter what, I will pursue this matter to the end.

"I know that you don't really recognize my cultivation at this moment, but since you have stayed in my cave for so long, you know that there is probably no one else in the world who can lead you to face those darkness except me.

"I need your help on this journey to the end."

After saying that, Su Han looked at it calmly.

Although he brought out the Qing Chi Sword from the sword forest, due to the latter's rank, it does not regard whoever holds it as its master.

Otherwise, the master would not have exerted its power far beyond what it was in the hands of the previous sect master after getting it, catching Immortal Wenrong off guard and escaping smoothly.

After the Qing Chi Sword stood still for a moment, the sword trembled slightly.

Su Han nodded and said, "Thank you."

Then, he took them all back into his cave and kept them.

Su Han raised his eyes and looked at the junior sister who looked like an ice sculpture on the stone bed with soft eyes.

He stood up, came to the bed, gently touched his junior sister's head, and said: "Senior brother is going out for a trip, and it will take some time to come back. During this time, Lele will come to accompany you more, and will not let you Too lonely."

After saying that, he took a deep look at his junior sister, turned and left the room, entered the deep passage, and walked outside.

As he walked, he was thinking about what to do next. After all, this trip would be considered to go deep into the Western Demonic Land, and to be honest, he didn't know much about the Western Demonic Land.

Although he was called a Heavenly Demon in his previous life, he was not actually active in the Western Demonic Land.Except for the time when he first started practicing, when his master would take him to the border between the Western Demonic Land and the Middle Earth to eliminate demons, he has always been cultivating quietly in extremely cold places.

His destination was Qiye Strait, but he did not understand the distribution of forces there.

It seems that the only option is to go to Luwei City to find Tianji Pavilion to buy some information.

After leaving the cave, Su Han ensured that the sword formation and blindfold formation were operating normally, then he left the "Niaohuitou" cliff and flew towards Luwei City.

Within a moment, he landed at the Tianji Pavilion in the city.

What he exchanged was only the recent distribution of power in Qiye Strait, which was just a D-shaped secret, so he only spent some money in exchange for the information.

The demon cultivators in the Western Demonic Land often attack each other and seize each other's sect's cultivation resources. It is often the case that a mountain top changes hands three times in one day.

Therefore, the inaccuracy rate of the information on West Demon Land will be higher, and the remuneration charged by Tianji Pavilion will not dare to be set too high.

After getting the information, Su Han took a quick look and found that there were actually two parties fighting vigorously in the Qiye Strait at this time.

Both are the five major demon sects of the Western Demonic Land, the Soul Eater Sect and the Jue Pulse Sect.

There is also a third party, the Seven Emotions Palace, who is watching from the outside, looking like a fisherman to make a profit.

Seeing the Seven Emotions Palace, Su Han raised his brows slightly and remembered Lu Yingxin, who had fought side by side in the Flame Mountain. She was a disciple of the Seven Emotions Palace.

Speaking of which, the two of them can be considered friends in life and death.

Earlier in the Huoyan Mountain, they were knocked down together into the "immortals will not go" rock pool. If the fragments of dragon scales hadn't played a role at the last moment, the two of them would have died together at that time.

Later, when Lu Yingxin parted from them, he told her how to send a message so that if they went to the Western Demonic Land, they could find her.

Su Zhen thought for a while, then wrote a letter in Tianji Pavilion, and summoned it to Lu Yingxin.

The letter informed him that he would go to West Demon Land, and agreed on a time and place to meet, and wanted to learn about what happened on the Qiye Strait from her.

Of course, Su Han couldn't guarantee that Lu Yingxin would go. After all, the two had not been in contact for so long. It was hard to say whether she would betray him based on their one fight together more than two years ago.

After the letter was sent out, Su Han no longer delayed and immediately set off for the northwest side of Middle-earth.

He set off from Luwei City and hurried on without stopping, and six days later he crossed the entire territory of Pei State and arrived at the junction of Western Demonic Land and Pei State.

After arriving here, Su Han stopped in the air to adjust his breathing and looked deeply in the direction of the West Demonic Land.

There, the distant mountain peaks were undulating. In fact, they looked no different from those in the Eastern Immortal Realm, but he knew that the practitioners there were very different from those in the Eastern Immortal Realm.

Here, there are all real villains with evil intentions, waiting to stab you when you pass by, killing people and stealing goods.

Most importantly, there is also the Xinxin Pavilion, the head of the five great demon sects - the culprit that caused the disappearance of the master back then.

The chill in his eyes gradually grew.

It was the Juexin Pavilion who caught the master in a trap and handed him over to the Qing Chi Sword Sect.

Sooner or later, he would have to settle this account with them.

It's just that it's still too early.

Su Xuan let out a breath and put the matter down for the time being.

Then, he took out a white mask that Xu Lele had given him not long ago and covered his face with it.

As the silk turned, his appearance completely changed.

This is what Xu Lele strongly requested.

After all, with Su Han's current popularity in the spiritual world, many people, regardless of the Immortal Sect or the Demonic Sect, may have mastered his portrait.If he showed up in the Western Demonic Land without any disguise and was recognized by interested people, countless demonic cultivators would swarm in like flies that smelled fishy smell, causing extra trouble.

Su Han naturally avoided this whenever he could.

After changing his appearance, he also lured out the demon species deep in his soul and placed it in the cave.

He didn't deliberately induce it - although he couldn't induce it with his current state, but suddenly, the aura of a demon cultivator naturally filled the air, making him transform into a complete demon cultivator.

After doing this, Su Han looked calm and stepped directly into the border of the Western Demonic Land.
