Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 416 Fairy Spirit
Where should Li Zhen send the last remaining strange energy of the 'World-Destroying Thunder'? If he only has one Nascent Soul, his best choice is naturally the Nascent Soul.

The Nascent Soul is the fusion of his soul, spiritual power, life force, and so on, representing his core.

Especially when he reaches the Nascent Soul stage, even if his physical body perishes, his nascent soul can still move freely outside of his physical body.

However, none of the Nascent Soul stage deities would give up their physical bodies. The existence of a physical body can enhance the protection of the Nascent Soul and also accelerate the cultivation speed of the Nascent Soul.

In addition, most martial arts techniques require the assistance of the physical body.

Li Zhen didn't have time to think it over; he had to make a choice within three breaths, as this strange energy couldn't last long.

If he doesn't make a choice, this strange energy will freely merge with his body.

He sent this strange energy into the dragon's heart. If there was anything most important to him besides his nascent soul, it was the dragon's heart.

The Dragon Heart was the foundation upon which he was able to achieve the Nascent Soul stage. The fact that he was able to raise his cultivation to such a level in such a short time was all thanks to the Dragon Heart.

This is no ordinary dragon heart, but a mutated dragon heart that has been affected by time travel, and it is also his biggest secret.

This strange energy entered the dragon's heart and transformed into a dense mist within it.

"Is this the aura of immortals?" Li Zhen sensed the quality of the mist and made a guess.

Legend has it that when a powerful being ascends to heaven, if they successfully overcome the tribulation of ascension, they will obtain the celestial energy, allowing them to leave their lower-world body and achieve a celestial body. Only those with a celestial body can ascend to the upper realm.

Although he had never seen the celestial energy, the way this energy was obtained and its form of expression were the same as the legendary celestial energy.

This celestial energy slowly merged with the dragon's heart, causing a change within it.

Li Zhen's physical body is now at the fifth level of body refinement perfection, which is the pinnacle of the world. However, when he sensed his dragon heart, he found that the quality of the dragon heart surpassed that of other parts of his physical body.

"Could it be that Long Xin has become a celestial being?" He had a new guess.

And with each beat of the dragon's heart, streams of blood imbued with immortal energy were sent into his body, though the immortal energy in the blood was very thin.

Although the blood could not elevate his physical body to the level of an immortal being, it did make his physical body even more powerful.

This is like his physical body, which was once the hardest of ordinary stones, being transformed from an ordinary stone into an even harder diamond through the continuous enhancement of blood containing traces of immortal energy.

This is a fundamental improvement. Perhaps when his physical body is fully upgraded to a higher level, he will be able to fight against the 'World-Destroying Thunder' with just his physical body.

Of course, this is only one of the abilities that the Immortal Spirit Body Dragon Heart has shown. He still needs to discover more abilities, as there are no readily available books to refer to the abilities of this Immortal Spirit Body.

Even if an ascended great being obtains a celestial body, they will at most only say a few words before flying away from this world, unable to leave behind more detailed information.

The time it took for Li Zhen to receive the immortal energy to transform the dragon's heart seemed long, but it was actually less than five minutes.

The cultivators outside would only assume that he was still processing his feelings after the tribulation and would not find it strange. At this time, no cultivator would come to disturb him.

Li Zhen looked up at the sky, where the thunderclouds had disappeared and the sky was clear again.

He knew there was a group of cultivators outside the tribulation site, so he did not go out immediately, but instead concealed his aura.

His physical strength reached the fifth level of perfection, and his cultivation level reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage. According to the strength of the Immortal Kingdom, he could be called a great power.

If he doesn't conceal his aura, then even the powerful cultivators outside will likely be suppressed, and it's hard to say whether even the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of Liugang can withstand the exposed aura.

Only after his aura subsided did he fly out of the place of tribulation.

Principal Wang was not the first to step forward and offer congratulations; the person with the highest status here was Liu Gang Huashen.

"Congratulations, Li Daneng! I came in a hurry this time and did not prepare enough gifts. I will send them as soon as I get back!" Liu Gang, the Nascent Soul cultivator, stepped forward and bowed deeply, saying respectfully.

His words startled all the great cultivators present. In private, it was fine to address others as "great power" or even as "ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators."

However, when someone is referred to as "Great Power" in public, there is only one possibility: it is a respectful title for a late-stage Nascent Soul deity.

"You're too kind, Lord Liu. I must thank you for protecting me!" Li Zhen returned the greeting with a smile. Facing Liu Gang, a Nascent Soul cultivator, he could more easily assess his own strength.

The Nascent Soul cultivator in front of him was only at the early stage of Nascent Soul. If he were to fight Liu Gang, he wouldn't need to use any supernatural powers; he could crush him with one hand.

This is not an exaggeration at all. He can break through any defense in the world with just his physical strength, and his speed increases infinitely after his physical body becomes stronger.

As for the inability of the physical body to launch ranged attacks, that doesn't apply to him either.

The shockwave from his physical attack alone was powerful enough to annihilate Liu Gang, a Nascent Soul cultivator.

For some reason, Liu Gang felt a chill run down his spine. Little did he know that Li Zhen was using him as a template to calculate his own combat strength, and every comparison was aimed at annihilating him.

Being schemed against by a powerful being, even though he couldn't sense danger due to the difference in their cultivation levels, the inexplicable feeling still sent chills down his spine.

"We congratulate Li Daneng!" All the great cultivators bowed deeply in unison.

Li Zhen waved his hand in a gesture of support, and the thirty-odd great cultivators present were all helped up. The force of this support made them feel that they could not resist it, and they were all shocked.

"Principal Wang, I need to go into seclusion for a while longer!" Li Zhen said to Principal Wang.

"Li Daneng, the school will report your advancement to the Nascent Soul stage. You can focus on your cultivation and leave the rest to the school!" Principal Wang replied hastily.

Li Zhen nodded, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

Upon reaching the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, his spatial abilities allowed him to freely move between any locations within the same world while still in human form.

There is no need to transform into the body of a chaotic dragon to move within the same world.

He appeared inside the small world cave, and as soon as he returned, he fell into a profound state of enlightenment.

The small world cave dwelling we see today may be just a small fragment of the main world, but it contains almost half the high-level resources of a main world like the medieval world.

It should be noted that the small world cave contains all the spiritual objects and resources of three of the four great sects of the ancient world, including their three mountain gates.

Li Zhen had previously only felt that the connection between the small world cave and himself was deepening, but now he had a new understanding.

He sat cross-legged in mid-air in the small world cave. His brain, which had been integrated with a continent-level AI, had seen a significant increase in its thinking, calculation, and analytical abilities due to the improvement in his realm.

He seized upon the inspiration he had when he first returned to the small world cave. At his level, even a single inspiration was extremely precious, as it could be the key to unlocking some kind of ability.

The dragon heart had replaced his original heart in his physical body, or rather, the dragon heart and his heart had become one. The dragon heart was beating, and blood with a trace of immortal spiritual energy entered his physical body.

The benefit of Li Zhen's choice to fuse the Dragon Heart with the Immortal Spirit Qi is that it continuously produces blood containing trace amounts of Immortal Spirit Qi.

However, at this moment he discovered another ability of the Immortal Spirit Body Dragon Heart: there is a space inside the Dragon Heart that keeps increasing as his cultivation level grows, but the size inside is not very large.

However, the dragon heart with the immortal spirit body had the idea of ​​devouring the small world cave, which was a spark of inspiration that arose when he returned to the small world cave.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Zhen opened his eyes; he had made his decision.

He issued a command to the immortal dragon heart to devour the small world cave.

At this moment, he no longer cared about the countless high-level resources and treasures in the small world cave. The three fifth-order main spiritual veins alone were beyond measure in value.

But his intuition told him that the immortal body and dragon heart devouring the small world cave would only bring him greater benefits.

He chose to trust his intuition, risking huge losses by letting the dragon heart devour the small world cave.

As soon as he issued the order, he felt the small world cave disappear instantly, and he was standing in a void in Qingmu University.

This was originally the location of the small world cave, but he can no longer sense the small world cave from the original location.
