Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 200 Ninth Floor
The reason why Li Zhen's learning speed has become so abnormal is because his wood spiritual roots have reached wood 99.

Spiritual root talent not only affects the speed of cultivation, but also corresponds to the learning talent of the cultivator.

Therefore, the higher the spiritual roots, the better the learning. This has almost become an inevitable result.

Even though Li Zhen's spiritual roots were forced to rise, it also boosted his learning talent.

Although Li Zhen had a large stock of spirit stones, he still had to go to the ancient cultivation world and could not let anything go wrong with his current status as a guest of the Caiqi Pavilion.

Besides, he did not escape from the gate of Shifang Valley, so he needed to go over and check the situation.

After studying for a while and feeling mentally exhausted, he went to the Demon Kingdom World and from there to the Ancient Cultivation World.

Emerging from the narrow space underground, he held his breath and stood still, checking the situation around him.

After a moment, he performed the "Earth Escape Technique", his body entered the mud, and slowly moved upwards.

He crawled out from the ground of the ruined building, and there was still no change here.

He secretly observed the outside and found that everything was normal at the moment, and many monks were cleaning up the ruins.

At this time, two Qi-cultivating monks were walking past where Li Zhen was hiding, and they could vaguely hear their words.

"The master hasn't found the thief yet, so he doesn't know who he is?" one person said.

"Need I say more? They are either the remnants of Shifang Valley or the cultivators of Haoyue Sect. The real master is really angry. The remnants of Shifang Valley cannot be found for the time being, but the cultivators of Haoyue Sect are still there!" said another person.

"Are we going to attack the Haoyue Sect next?" asked the man in front.

"It's none of our business. Even if there is an attack, it will be the Foundation Establishment Masters who will participate!" another person replied.

The two talked as they walked, and their voices became increasingly inaudible after they left Li Zhen's hiding place.

Li Zhen didn't dare to look at the top of the mountain with his eyes. He didn't know whether Master Xu was there.

If he really looked towards the top of the mountain, he might be sensed by Master Xu. He didn't dare to gamble on Master Jindan's power.

He changed into the Cuihong Sect's robes, walked out of his hiding place, and walked towards the valley entrance with a swagger.

The reason why he wanted to leave the valley was because he found that the light of the protective shield of the Shifang Valley mountain gate formation had disappeared, and he could now enter and exit freely.

No monk suspected him and allowed him to walk to the valley entrance.

In fact, no one had ever thought that the cultivator who had killed Master Xu's disciples did not leave, but successfully avoided Master Xu's search and tracking, and walked freely inside the mountain gate.

"Stop and take out your ID card for inspection!" Just as Li Zhen was about to walk out of the valley, a spiritual thought locked onto him and gave an order.

Only then did Li Zhen discover that there was a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building sitting cross-legged at the entrance of the valley.

The cultivator in the early stage of foundation building sat at the center of the formation, hidden by the formation to facilitate him to monitor the passage out of the valley.

Originally, there was no need to arrange anything here, but because of what happened before, such a big thing, Master Xu got angry and decided to strictly check the entrance and exit of the Shifang Valley mountain gate.

"This is my ID card!" Li Zhen said as he took out an ID card and approached the cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.

The cultivator in the early stage of foundation building was not alert. He just completed the task perfunctorily and did not expect to discover anything in this way.

Li Zhen presented his identity card, and the cultivator in the early stage of foundation building reached out to take it.

At this time, Li Zhen took action. This identity card was not his, but was found on a corpse and could not withstand inspection.

He did not use any spiritual power, but just punched out while presenting his ID card.

The cultivator in the early stage of foundation building paused. He looked at his chest in disbelief, and saw a fist piercing his heart and crushing it into powder.

Li Zhen took a step forward and had no time to collect the spoils. He used the restriction token to pass the restriction at the valley entrance.

Just as he was leaving, the Shifang Valley mountain gate formation sounded an alarm.

A figure floated down from the top of the mountain and came to the mouth of the valley, where he saw the body of a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building lying on the ground.

The person who came was Master Xu. He was still thinking about how to retaliate against the enemy. After sensing the warning of the formation, he immediately came to the place where the incident happened. But he was still too late and only saw a corpse.

Arriving after him was a team of patrolling monks, who immediately bowed and saluted when they saw Master Xu.

Master Xu ignored them and flashed out of the formation.

The time it took him to leave the formation was only five breaths of time compared to the time Li Zhen left. After killing the cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, Li Zhen sensed a dangerous aura, so after leaving the formation, Li Zhen used an "earth escape technique" to enter the underground, and used his spatial magical powers to leave the ancient cultivation world.

People are no longer in the ancient cultivation world, so even if Master Xu has extraordinary means, he cannot find Li Zhen.

Master Xu chased out of the formation, fully releasing his spiritual thoughts and scanning every place, but he could not find the murderer.

In the end, he shook his head helplessly and went back. He had no hope of finding the murderer.

Think about it, the murderer was hiding inside the mountain gate of Shifang Valley, but he couldn't find him. Now that he has left the formation, he has no way to find him.

He came to the body and examined it carefully, as if trying to find out the origin of the murderer from it.

This is also a normal investigation method. Generally, many clues can be analyzed from the wounds on the body.

However, Master Xu looked at the wounds on the corpse with an expression of disbelief.

There is not a trace of spiritual power in this wound; it was caused entirely by brute force.

Due to the monitoring effect of the formation, anyone who dares to launch an attack beyond a certain range within the formation will be monitored by the formation and a warning will be issued.

Not to mention that a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building also died, which was a key monitored item in the formation.

From the time Li Zhen launched the attack to the death of the cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, the great formation only issued one warning, and Master Xu arrived within two breaths of time after the warning.

This means that the cultivator in the early stage of foundation building was killed with one strike, and not every cultivator in the late stage of foundation building can instantly kill a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building in the sect.

"He's at the peak of the second level of body refining. I've never heard of such a person appearing in any sect!" Master Xu said to himself in confusion.

He recognized the source of the fatal blow, which only made him even more disoriented.

Few cultivators practice body refining. Perhaps some Qi training cultivators will practice body refining, but when it comes to the foundation-building stage, few cultivators will practice body refining.

The main thing is that the resources needed for the second level of body refining are second-level resources. Generally, foundation-building cultivators do not even have enough resources for Qi training, so how can they provide second-level resources for the second level of body refining?

The most critical issue is the talent for body refining. Only a very small number of body refining geniuses can break through the first level of body refining, and their number is much less than that of foundation building cultivators.

In any case, Shifang Valley and Haoyue Sect did not have such body refining geniuses, which made Master Xu even more puzzled. He previously thought that it was Shifang Valley or Haoyue Sect that came to take revenge, but now he has somewhat overturned his previous judgment.

"No matter what, there must be an explanation. I can take this opportunity to drive out the Haoyue Sect!" He thought about it and made a decision.

Li Zhen didn't know what happened after he left. He was in the third-level cave at that time.

In the following days, he did not return to the ancient cultivation world. He decided to wait until he was promoted to the ninth level of Qi training before going to the ancient cultivation world.

A week later, Li Zhen sat cross-legged on a third-level cushion, with third-level superior-quality spiritual energy lingering around him, forming a fog-like rich spiritual environment.

He increased his spiritual power to nearly 4000 yesterday, so today he can try to reach the ninth level of Qi training.

The Ninth Edition of the Immortal Kingdom Qi Training Method was activated, and the shadow of a ten-thousand-year-old third-grade superior-quality spiritual peach tree appeared above his head. The illusory tree roots were deeply rooted in the void, absorbing the spiritual energy emitted by the third-grade superior-quality spiritual veins.

After the spiritual energy was purified from the third-grade top-grade spiritual peach tree, it was transformed into spiritual power through the 'Ninth Edition of the Immortal Kingdom Qi Training Method'. It only took a hundred breaths for the spiritual power in his dantian to be full.

The abundant spiritual power filled the Dantian with spiritual power, but the spiritual power cultivated through the 'Ninth Edition of the Immortal Kingdom Qi Training Method' was still continuously inputting spiritual power.

The theoretical bottleneck did not occur, and the Dantian successfully accommodated more spiritual power, allowing the vortex in the center of the Dantian to absorb spiritual power beyond its own capacity.

The spiritual power vortex became slower and slower, and finally it stopped moving. This also broke the balance inside the Dantian, causing the Dantian to collapse towards the internal center.

It didn't take long before the new Dantian was rebuilt from the collapsed center area.
