Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 278 Later Period
In the Dragon Heart Space, all the transparent energy balls have been absorbed, and even all the golden elixirs that have been harvested have been absorbed by him.

Now his cultivation has reached the late stage of the Golden Core, but after absorbing so much energy, he is still a little short of the Great Perfection of the Golden Core.

This is just one point, but it cannot be underestimated. The Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir is the limit of the Golden Elixir. It is not easy to achieve the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir. A Golden Elixir Master with insufficient talent will not be able to overcome this hurdle in his lifetime.

Li Zhen didn't feel any bottleneck, it was simply because he didn't have enough energy.

Even though he obtained a lot of golden elixirs, the energy converted from the golden elixirs of the real people in the early and middle stages of the golden elixir realm was too little when his cultivation reached the late stage of the golden elixir realm.

Of course, although the energy converted by the golden elixir of a real person in the early stage of the golden elixir is less, it is much faster than the speed of one's own cultivation.

However, he also knew that he couldn't think of hunting down Jindan Zhenren and plundering their golden elixirs to improve his cultivation. If he really thought so, he might become possessed.

The cultivation of a monk is a journey against the will of heaven. Problems will arise if one is not careful during this process. Being possessed by a demon is the most difficult problem to grasp.

Since being possessed by a demon is a problem of the soul, it cannot be detected at ordinary times and will only appear when a breakthrough is made in cultivation. This will greatly increase the difficulty of the cultivator's breakthrough.

Even if a cultivator is too deeply possessed by the devil, he will lose control of himself and turn into a madman who only knows how to kill.

Demonic cultivators are the easiest to become possessed by demons, and their cultivation speed is extremely fast, which is similar to Li Zhen's situation.

Fortunately, Li Zhen did not swallow the golden elixir directly, but transformed it through the Dragon Heart Space. The Dragon Heart Space removed all impurities in the golden elixir and only retained the purest energy.

Even so, Li Zhen did not want to take the risk. Unless a Jindan Zhenren offered himself to be killed, he would not rob and kill a Jindan Zhenren for the sake of cultivation speed.

After making this decision, Li Zhen felt that his mind became clearer and his spirit was strengthened.

This is probably also a kind of epiphany, an epiphany on the spiritual level.

Li Zhen's cultivation had reached the late Jindan stage, and he once again used his divine sense to scan the fake baby.

After three months, there was no change in the fake baby in the Dragon Heart Space.

His spiritual power now has been strengthened much more than before. If his current spiritual power were to confront the spiritual power at the early stage of the Golden Core, the previous spiritual power would collapse instantly.

He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he was wise and would hardly use his weaknesses to fight against a late Jindan cultivator.

The divine consciousness of the late Jindan stage swept over the fake baby and entered it with just a little effort.

When the divine consciousness entered the fake baby, it was more accurate to say that it sensed something through the divine consciousness rather than seeing something.

This fake baby has all five elements inside and forms a stable structure.

Li Zhen was stunned. Does it mean that in order to achieve Nascent Soul, one must possess all five elements of spiritual roots?

If this is the case, he now possesses all five elements of spiritual roots, and the two worst five elements of spiritual roots are also top-grade spiritual roots.

"It seems that I need to apply to Aoki University for information on advancing to the Nascent Soul stage!" Li Zhen thought to himself.

In fact, he was qualified in this regard, but as he had just entered the Golden Core stage, it was still too early for him to apply for such information.

However, this does not mean that you cannot apply. Everyone has been curious. Even if you are in the early stage of Golden Core, you will yearn to be promoted to Nascent Soul and make more comprehensive preparations for this goal as early as possible.

Li Zhen once again put his mind on the fake baby's body. This time he focused on the five elements structure, but the five elements structure was like flowers in the fog. No matter how hard he tried, he could not see it clearly.

"Is it because my cultivation is still not good enough?" He thought of a possibility.

Three months ago, he used his spiritual sense to scan the fake baby, but he couldn't even penetrate into the inside of the fake baby. Now that he has reached the late Jindan stage, his spiritual sense can already enter the fake baby's body.

He guessed that in order to clearly observe the five elements structure in the body of the fake baby, he would have to reach the great perfection of the golden elixir?
If he cannot observe in this way, then Jindan Zhenren will not be able to gain any insights by observing Yuanying, or the method of insights he uses is wrong.

He stopped thinking about it and stood up to stretch his body.

His strong body allowed him to sit in seclusion for three months without any discomfort. The only discomfort came from within, as he was still not used to the months of seclusion.

His divine sense swept over his body, and he was wearing brand new equipment. He was wearing the 'Holy Water Flowing Cloud Robe' and the 'Holy Water Flowing Cloud Boots', all of which were third-grade top-grade magic weapons.

The 'Holy Water Flowing Cloud Robe' comes with a late Jindan protective shield, and its own defense can also block the ordinary attacks of a late Jindan real person, which is already very remarkable.

The late Jindan shield can be triggered passively. Once an attack that threatens itself is imminent, the 'Holy Water Flowing Cloud Robe' will automatically activate the late Jindan shield.

The 'Holy Water Flowing Cloud Boots' have their own water escape technique, and the third level of water escape can be activated by injecting spiritual energy into it.

In any place with water, the third-level water escape not only allows the cultivator to quickly escape using the water flow, but also allows the cultivator to blend into the water, reducing the possibility of being discovered.

If the fake infant had not been ambushed by Master Wen Chun, if he was given a chance to catch his breath, he would have been able to perform water escape and merge into the water, and it would have been difficult for Master Wen Chun to catch him then.

Li Zhen waved his hand, and the third-grade top-grade 'Fuyao Spirit Sword' flew around him. The 'Fuyao Spirit Sword' greatly enhanced the power of his flying sword. Combined with the third-level strength of a sword cultivator, he could become invincible as a sword cultivator within the Golden Core Realm.

He flipped his hand and a 'Holy Ice Staff' appeared in his hand, which was also a third-grade top-grade magic weapon.

The 'Holy Ice Staff' is a rather strange magic weapon that needs to be held in the hand to work. Its function is to release 'Holy Ice'.

In this process, he called upon the cooperation of the 'Holy Ice' of the Golden Core to increase the power of the 'Holy Ice' again.

Currently, he is unable to estimate the power of the 'holy ice' released by holding the 'holy ice staff' in conjunction with the golden elixir. This needs to be tested through combat.

Putting away the 'Fuyao Spirit Sword' and the 'Holy Ice Staff', he waved his hand once again, and a shield appeared in front of him, which was the 'Xuanjia Eight-sided Shield'.

The reason why it is called the 'Xuanjia Eight-sided Shield' is that when needed, this third-grade top-grade shield will transform into eight shields, using the entity to resist attacks from eight directions.

Normal defensive magic weapons have two defensive methods. One is the defensive shield generated by the defensive magic weapon, and its defensive effect is achieved based on the built-in defensive runes.

The second is the physical defense formed by the material of the defensive magic weapon itself. This physical defense even exceeds the shield defense.

The materials that can be made into defensive magic weapons are the strongest materials.

Just like the 'Black Armor Eight-Sided Shield', it is made of tortoise shell close to the fourth level, and the material itself has strong defensive power.

Anyway, Li Zhen has tested it and found that the 'space cannon' fired by the late Jindan cultivation base cannot cause any trace on the main body of the 'Xuanjia Eight-sided Shield'.

You should know that the 'space cannon' cast by a late Jindan cultivator can emit space blades with power that is close to that of the fake infant. This space spell has been enhanced by his space magical power.

He was extremely satisfied with the defensive effect of the 'Black Armor Eight-Sided Shield', as no other defensive magic weapon had ever been as good as his.

The main reason is that the defensive magic weapon he obtained before has a defensive effect that is not much different from his physical body defense. How can it be considered a useful defensive magic weapon?

It’s different now. The ‘Mysterious Armor Eight-Sided Shield’ has instantly raised his defense to the level of a fake baby. If he faces the fake baby again, he will be able to at least withstand several attacks from the fake baby.

Looking at his entire body of equipment, Li Zhen was very pleased that he finally had a set of the strongest equipment at the Jindan level.

As for his combat power, after getting the support of a set of magic weapons, his combat power has made a great leap.

Unfortunately, he still had to keep a low profile and try to slow down the time of being discovered by other monks.

Thinking of not being discovered, he started to practice the 'Shadow Art'. This secret technique allowed him to quickly restrain the aura of the late Jindan stage.

"Let's go to the ancient world and redefine the spatial coordinates!" Li Zhen thought to himself when he saw that everything was ready.

He sent a message to Li Dafa through the connection of the soul contract. It seemed that his improvement in cultivation allowed the messages he sent across the world through the soul contract to be clearer.

In the ancient cultivation world, Li Da, who was patrolling in Anqing City, suddenly flew towards the City Lord’s Mansion.

"The city lord has come out of seclusion!" A careful monk guessed what Li Da did.
