Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 228 Peak
Just like the promotion from the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building, without any bottleneck, Li Zhen successfully advanced to the late stage of foundation building under the continuous impact of a large amount of spiritual essence 3 energy.

His Dantian grew larger again, and could hold 5000 spiritual powers, which was ten times what it was at the beginning of the foundation-building period.

Even though the golden elixir in the Dragon Heart Space provided Li Zhen with energy for continuous breakthroughs, the consumption of the golden elixir was almost imperceptible. The spiritual power required for the foundation-building period was really nothing for the golden elixir.

Li Zhen fell into happiness, and the spiritual power in his dantian increased rapidly.

When he came out of his blissful state, he found that his Dantian was full once again.

However, he had a feeling that his control over spiritual power seemed to have weakened.

As Li Zhen's mind moved slightly, the Dragon Heart Space stopped devouring the golden elixir, and he changed the object of devouring to the corpse of the 'Wind-Calling and Moon-Chasing Dragon Beast'.

The reason why he did not continue was because he was already at the peak of foundation building, and the next step was to break through the foundation building and achieve golden elixir.

And if his feeling was correct, there was a problem with his foundation because his cultivation level improved too quickly.

In addition, even if there was no problem with his foundation, it would be impossible for him to break through so hastily.

Breaking through from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Golden Core Stage, this breakthrough is risky even for a person with natural spiritual roots. He needs to consider the resources for breaking through to the Golden Core Stage to increase the chance of breakthrough.

He also needs to refer to the breakthrough experiences of other cultivators, read a large number of relevant papers, and make preparations based on the theoretical basis of breaking through the golden elixir.

Li Zhen then checked the physical information on the identity bracelet.

"

Name: Li Zhen (male)
Age: 14
Realm: Late stage of foundation building

灵根：木99、水44、金53、火40.1、土55、雷40.1、风31
Ectoplasm: 2
Spiritual power: 4999
Physical body: Double (99/100)

"

He couldn't describe how he felt at the moment. The spiritual power of 4999 seemed to be just an increase in numbers, but in fact it was a huge difference.

The 4999 spiritual power in his body can drive more powerful spells, and at the same time leverage external energy that is ten times greater than the spiritual power in his body. This is what makes him truly terrifying at the moment.

Of course, since he is still in the foundation-building stage, his influence on external energy is only within the range of his spiritual thoughts. Even with 4999 spiritual power, due to the limited external energy within the range of his spiritual thoughts, the power of the spells he casts is also limited, and he cannot truly exert the full power of his spiritual power.

Li Zhen's spirit has also made some progress, but it is still far inferior to the improvement of his spiritual power.

He understood that cultivating his spirit became the key point afterwards, otherwise this would be his shortcoming when breaking through the Golden Core stage, increasing the chances of failure in the subsequent promotion process.

Li Zhen came to the practice room of the third-level cave. There was nothing special about this room before. It was only after he took ownership of the third-level cave and expanded the third-level superior spiritual vein to the entire cave that this practice room came into play.

The walls of the practice room are covered with solid array patterns, which can maximize the effect of protecting the walls.

Li Zhen cast a spell, and the formation pattern in the entire practice room lit up. Then a human-shaped target made of energy appeared in the center of the practice room.

He has mastered quite a few Foundation Establishment spells, thanks to the second-level spell experience and spell patterns gained from devouring the second-level talismans in the Dragon Heart Space.

With the tap of his fingers, a rain of ice covered the entire practice room, with the focus being on the human-shaped target.

This is the second-level Ice Rain Spell. The human-shaped target is very solid. The Ice Rain Spell did not destroy the human-shaped target, but only formed a layer of solid ice on its surface.

Li Zhen switched to the second-level meteor shower, and pieces of fiery meteors appeared out of thin air and hit the human-shaped target.

Then he cast various second-level spells one after another. The third-level cave was the best in this regard. With his strength at the peak of the foundation building stage, he could not cause any damage in a strictly protected room like the practice room.

Finally, he used the "Shenxiao Thunder Method" again, and finally he found that the power of all spells was not as strong as the "Shenxiao Thunder Method".

The main thing is that the 'Shenxiao Thunder Method' can increase the power of thunder and lightning according to the spiritual power invested. As long as it is within the tolerance range of his body, the more spiritual power invested, the greater the power of thunder and lightning.

If it were used by other cultivators, the power of 'Shenxiao Thunder Method' and other second-tier spells would be limited even if they were stronger.

But Li Zhen was different. He was at the peak of the second level of physical training. The total amount of spiritual power he put into the "Shenxiao Thunder Method" was more than five times that of other cultivators. He tested the maximum amount of spiritual power he could bear when performing the "Shenxiao Thunder Method". He put in 1000 spiritual powers at a time and sent out a bolt of lightning.

With a 'crack' sound, the human-shaped target exploded.

This is a human-shaped target with a third-order lower-grade defense level. Even a real person in the early Jindan stage may not be able to destroy the human-shaped whip with one blow.

Li Zhen shook his head. After performing the 'Shenxiao Thunder Method' with a thousand spiritual powers, he felt physically tired. After each use of this powerful thunder method attack, he had to rest for a while and could not perform it continuously.

This was enough, he finally found the strongest spell attack at the moment.

Of course, he still had swordsmanship at his disposal, but the problem was that even a second-grade top-quality flying sword could not increase the attack power of his flying sword to the third-grade level.

At this time, Li Zhen found Shang Dongfang's two magic weapons, one for attack and one for defense. The defensive one was the bronze pagoda magic weapon.

The weapon used in the attack was a third-order, mid-grade flying sword magic weapon. We also have to thank Shang Dongfang for trying his best at the last moment and taking out this third-order, mid-grade flying sword magic weapon from the storage bag.

Otherwise, he would have to wait for a few days until the spiritual mark on the storage bag disappeared before he could open it.

A third-rank, mid-grade flying sword magic weapon, this grade is a bit high for a normal Foundation Establishment cultivator.

However, a cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage can control a third-order magic weapon for a short period of time. The cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage is the pinnacle of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and one step further is the Golden Core Stage. The spiritual power and spirit are barely enough to refine a third-order magic weapon.

Li Zhen was not greedy and did not refine two magic weapons at once. He only chose the third-level medium-grade flying sword magic weapon.

By performing the incantation of recognizing the master, he established a connection with the third-order, mid-grade flying sword magic weapon.

Unfortunately, with his level of cultivation, every time he used a third-order mid-grade flying sword magic weapon to launch an attack, the spiritual power consumed was a hundred times the normal consumption.

With a total amount of 4999 spiritual power, his spiritual power will be exhausted in more than ten breaths.

This is not the most important thing. Since his ritual is at the most elementary level, he cannot take the magic weapon into his body and nourish it like a real Jindan Zhenren. Therefore, he can only exert less than half of the power of the third-level magic weapon.

But this was already very remarkable. He truly utilized the power of a third-order mid-grade flying sword magic weapon, and no cultivator in the foundation-building stage could match him.

No matter how wealthy a cultivator is, it is impossible for him to master magic weapons during the foundation-building period.

Even a talisman that has only one tenth of the power of a magic weapon can be a life-saving item in the hands of a true foundation-building cultivator. This shows how precious magic weapons are.

Li Zhen was somewhat grateful to Master Yu Xinyi and Master Ding for leaving the spoils of war and magic weapons to him.

This third-rank, mid-grade flying sword magic weapon is called the Dongfang Sword, and it should be a magic weapon made by Shang Dongfang himself.

He put away the Oriental Sword. From now on, it would be one of his trump cards.

He took out the bronze pagoda magic weapon again. Although he had no intention of refining it immediately, he was still extremely curious.

At that time, Shang Dongfang used the bronze pagoda magic weapon to block multiple rounds of attacks from Master Yu Xinyi and Master Ding, which shows the power of the bronze pagoda magic weapon.

When Li Zhen used his spiritual sense to check the bronze pagoda magic weapon, he found that Shang Dongfang's spiritual imprint inside the bronze pagoda magic weapon had not dissipated.

Not only was there no problem of dissipating, but Shang Dongfang's spiritual imprint was almost integrated with the patterns on every part of the bronze pagoda magic weapon and could not be separated.

The spiritual imprint showed no signs of dissipating with Shang Dongfang's death. These spiritual imprints seemed to be solidified inside the bronze pagoda magic weapon.

"Is this my natal magic weapon?" Li Zhen thought of the third-level magic weapon knowledge he had learned, which included the content about my natal magic weapon.

The natal magic weapon refers to a magic weapon that is cultivated by a Jindan Zhenren through specific secret methods to become a magic weapon related to life.

The biggest advantage of the natal magic weapon is that it is more powerful and easier to control in the hands of a Jindan Zhenren. This is why Shang Dongfang can fight two enemies alone with the help of the bronze pagoda magic weapon.

Of course, the magic weapon chosen to be your natal magic weapon must be the most suitable for you, and it must also be the most powerful and of the best quality.
