After the Skyfall

Chapter 829 The Flower of the Primordial Spirit
Li Yi did not linger in the four seas and eight continents, and soon returned to Earth.

He has a strong sense of crisis. Now that the major issues have been resolved, it's time for him to devote himself to cultivation for a while.

"Go to that strange place where time flies, and take advantage of the accelerated time there to fully develop my primordial spirit and dharma form in one go, and strive to break through to the Three Flowers Realm. Only in this way can I possess the combat power of a demon king."

With this thought in mind, Li Yi rode on auspicious clouds and soared across the sky.

He was able to defeat the Demon King before because he received the blessing of incense power and luck power. Now that these two powers are gone, his combat power has naturally returned to what it was before.

Moreover, Li Yi has now reached a bottleneck. If he doesn't find another way, he will be stuck at this level for a long time. This is because dual cultivation is like this: although you may be invincible in the same realm, your breakthrough will be very slow.

Therefore, during this period of peace, Li Yi must grow up as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, he discovered that strange place last time; otherwise, he would have to try to seek opportunities across different realms.

soon.

Li Yi arrived at that strange place on Earth where time flies by.

Although a great battle at the level of a demon king had taken place there, the traces of the battle had long been erased under the influence of the power of time. What surprised him was that there were actually quite a few warships hovering nearby.

Clearly, he wasn't the only one cultivating in this strange place.

Li Yi even sensed many familiar presences.

"It seems that the news about this strange place has already spread among the evolved beings. But that's normal. After the great battle, everyone is thinking about improving themselves as soon as possible, so cultivation time is extremely precious."

Li Yi thought to himself.

He didn't feel unhappy at all. After all, he wasn't the one who discovered this place first. He learned about it from Li Yugang. At this time, it was a good thing that evolved beings could use this place to cultivate.

However, the power of time is dangerous, and it is not an easy thing to use properly. If not handled properly, it can cost you your life.

Li Yi walked slowly through this strange land, because the landscape had changed drastically since his last visit, and he couldn't recognize it even if he returned now.

This means he has to find a suitable place to cultivate.

"Su Mu? She actually came here too."

Suddenly, Li Yi saw a huge rock floating in mid-air not far away, with a woman sitting on it.

Li Yi recognized the other person, but due to the isolation provided by the power of time, the other person did not notice him.

Moreover, it wasn't just Su Mu alone. In the distance, he also saw several familiar evolved individuals who had participated in the last great battle and had all agreed to come here for further training.

In addition, some unfamiliar people also came here. Those people were not very strong, but it was certain that they were survivors from the top ten survival bases.

Now that Earth is recovering from the devastation, all the evolved beings are seizing every opportunity to increase their strength, because a great war may break out at any time.

Li Yi did not disturb their cultivation, but instead walked deeper into this strange place.

After exploring and searching through various means, he quickly found a place that was suitable for cultivation. However, the power of time there was quite fierce, and staying in that area for one day was equivalent to about two years in the outside world.

"This is it." He didn't pick and choose, but instead chose a seat and sat down.

With the power of time upon them,

Li Yi felt that his magical power, blood and qi, and even lifespan were constantly decreasing, but correspondingly, his primordial spirit dharma form was rapidly becoming stronger under the nourishment of the supreme treasure, the Crimson Lotus.

Having learned from his previous experience, he took out the flesh of the Demon King to replenish his blood and magical power, and only needed to eat it once a day.

This was the first time Li Yi had realized how extraordinary the Demon King's flesh and blood were.

"Take this time to continue opening up the acupoints."

Li Yi was multitasking, nurturing his primordial spirit while attempting to open acupoints within his body to increase the concentration of magical power and divine blood.

soon.

He entered a state of meditation.

Time is also flying by.

In just one day, Li Yi's primordial spirit dharma form not only fully recovered to its peak state, but was also much stronger than before. At the same time, his ninety-first acupoint was successfully opened.

After waking up, Li Yi ate a meal of demon king meat, drank a mouthful of life water, and then closed his eyes again.

This kind of practice is extremely resource-intensive, and the utilization rate of resources is very low.

Therefore, not every practitioner is suited to cultivate by harnessing the power of time.

now.

In a distant place, an evolved being, emaciated from hunger under the influence of the power of time, had to leave the area because he clearly felt that the rate at which the cosmic energy within his body was being lost far exceeded the rate at which it was being absorbed.

This means that here, his cultivation level will not only not improve, but will actually regress.

"I need to find a place where the flow of time is not so fast to cultivate."

The evolved being realized that he had been too hasty and his body could not withstand the powerful force of time, so he had to find a new place.

The smarter evolved beings would use rare objects and precious materials to make up for the rapid loss of their own energy, but they also could not last long, because they had to withdraw after their resources were exhausted.

Only a few people can withstand the power of time like Li Yi. Of course, there are also lucky people who choose places where the flow of time is not high, only about ten or twenty times that of the outside world, which is within their tolerance range, so they can continue to maintain their cultivation.

Clearly, the power of time is not suitable for everyone.

"Boom!"

Occasionally, thunder could be heard from this strange place, indicating that someone was undergoing tribulation.

Many evolved beings also practice immortal cultivation. Once they reach the Tribulation Transcending stage, they must undergo a lightning tribulation. After passing the lightning tribulation, they can become a Mahayana stage immortal cultivator after a period of secluded cultivation.

But none of this affected Li Yi.

Only ten days had passed in the outside world, but he had cultivated diligently for twenty years. During this time, he successfully opened up one hundred acupoints, his magical power increased again, and his primordial spirit and dharma form were also fully nurtured.

He felt that as soon as his primordial spirit moved, the cosmic energy of the surrounding world surged in continuously.

"It's not enough. The current primordial spirit is not yet sufficient to nurture the three flowers on the top of the head."

Li Yi thought to himself that he felt he still had a lot of room for improvement, so he chose to continue his cultivation.

Another ten days have passed.

His body was radiating the light of his primordial spirit, as if rings of light were enveloping him. His primordial spirit dharma form resembled a real person, seemingly about to replace his physical body.

However, Li Yi's speed in opening up acupoints slowed down.

"My physical strength is not enough to withstand the need for more acupoints." Li Yi realized that his physique was not strong enough and he had hit a bottleneck. He could no longer make any progress after reaching the last 108 acupoints.

Unless he cultivates a body-tempering technique, or returns to the desolate world to receive the baptism of divine blood and break through the shackles, he can not continue to move forward.

Therefore, Li Yi simply gave up on opening up acupoints and focused on nurturing his primordial spirit and Dharma form.

If the Flower of Life and the Flower of Mana cannot bloom, then let the Flower of the Primordial Spirit bloom first.

Regardless, he must enter the Three Flowers Realm during this seclusion.

Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Yi has been in seclusion here for a full month. If he were outside, he would have cultivated for a full sixty years.

Even so, he did not break through that boundary and enter the next level.

This is normal. It is very difficult to advance further once you reach this level. Even a normal cultivator might not be able to bloom the Three Flowers Realm even after a hundred years of arduous cultivation. Otherwise, in the world of cultivation in the Dharma-ending Age, experts in the Three Flowers Realm would not be so rare.

On this day, Li Yi sensed something. Above his head, countless beams of primordial spirit light condensed, vaguely forming the shape of a flower bud.

However, this flower bud was extremely large, like a canopy, covering half of the sky.

Moreover, after many years of gestation, it has only barely formed an outline and has not yet bloomed. Furthermore, even the condensation of countless primordial spirit lights cannot fill this flower bud. This Dao flower is like a bottomless pit, devouring all the primordial spirit power that Li Yi has painstakingly cultivated.

If it were any other cultivator at the Five Qi Realm, their primordial spirit would have already blossomed.

"If it weren't for the Crimson Lotus, how long would I have to cultivate in this condition? Five hundred years, or a thousand years?" Li Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly. For the first time, he felt that having too strong a foundation was not necessarily a good thing.

Although Li Yi is invincible in his realm, if his enemy's realm improves quickly enough, it may not be unable to compensate for his lack of foundation.

"Let's just wait it out."

After all, it's the path I chose, so I have to keep going even if it's with tears in my eyes.

However, on the fiftieth day, Li Yi's demon king flesh was all eaten, and he could only drink the water of life to sustain his body.

Fortunately, he stopped his other cultivation practices and is now doing nothing but using time to refine his primordial spirit and Dharma form.

Simply put, Li Yi only needs to sit in this Land of Time, and if he gets sleepy, he can even take a nap.

As time goes by, everything will fall into place naturally.

And during this time.

The cultivators who have come and gone from this strange place have changed several times. Some of them have even returned for the third or fourth time because they cannot stay here for as long as Li Yi. They can only cultivate for a period of time and then go back to rest before coming back again.

Through repeated trials and tribulations, many experts emerged among the evolved beings, and even a group of top geniuses successfully entered the Mahayana stage.

"call!"

With a sigh of relief, Su Mu finished her third training session. She stepped out of the area of ​​time power and felt the changes within herself. She couldn't help but smile, but as a price, three incomplete artifacts in her possession were destroyed.

At this moment, Su Mu looked up at the sky, where her tribulation was brewing.

She is about to undergo a tribulation.

This is the spiritual tribulation of the evolved.

"Su Mu's spiritual tribulation has begun. Once she overcomes it, she will be a cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage of the Spiritual Tribulation Realm. If she reaches the Mahayana stage in the future, she might even be able to fight against a Human Immortal." Many people looked over here, filled with envy.

"She doesn't just practice dual magic; don't forget, she's also an evolved being. While being a level nine evolved being is just icing on the cake, her powerful physical body can greatly increase the upper limit of her magical power."

A woman named Zheng Duoduo spoke up.

However, such breakthroughs are indeed normal and often occur in this strange land.
