The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 341 The Great Wilderness, Part 3
"So it turns out that Grandpa Tree has already cultivated a sixth-grade divine soul. If that's the case, then the Snake Emperor must also have at least a sixth-grade divine soul. Such a master who is above the first grade is indeed not someone I can mess with right now."

Wang Wu was deeply moved and gained a clearer understanding of his own position.

Let's remain humble and patient, and continue to lie low.

Now that he had sorted things out, Wang Wu took out Madam Yu's small cauldron, drank three large mouthfuls of spiritual liquid, and began this inevitable luxurious and extremely energy-consuming journey of upgrading his demon core.

Actually, there's no problem with the technology itself. The core principle doesn't require any special talent; it's all about spending money!
Burning money, burning money, burning money!

Just like how he was able to cultivate two Ruyi Demon Cores back then.
Is his aptitude significantly higher than Xiong Shiliu's or Yuan Bupo's?
No, it's all thanks to the fact that he secretly smelled the fragrant honey of the jade bees in the Bee Queen's Palace for many years...

Of course, now that he has the built-in Five Elements Spirit Array, it can still play a significant role.

The spiritual liquid transforms into vitality, which in turn transforms into qi and blood. As the qi and blood circulate throughout the body, Wang Wu can clearly sense that his five demon cores are all eager to advance.

In other words, he can now advance without any pressure.

Maybe I can get promoted two levels.

Upgrading feels amazing, but holding back from upgrading is just awful.

For example, at this moment, Wang Wu had to mobilize the ice and fire spiritual energy to form an external circulation, suppressing the demand of the two Ruyi Demon Cores that were eager to advance through another means.

Then, the three Grade 5 Overlord Body Demon Cores were compressed and squeezed.

It has a strong sense of familiarity, like parents educating their children: "Endure some hardship now, and you'll be successful in the future," and so on...

But those three fifth-grade overlord body demon cores disagreed. A large amount of pure blood and qi surged in. They had funds, a market, a perfect structure, and a strong army. They had a blue ocean, and you're telling me to restrain myself? Restrain your ass! Charge! Rebel!
Kill the dog-loving tycoon!

In just a few rounds, these three Rank 5 Overlord Body Demon Cores were about to self-destruct.

Therefore, suppressing one's cultivation level and strength is really not easy.

At this point, conventional methods are no longer effective; we must resort to a "dimensional reduction attack."

how to spell?
Of course, we should open the door and unleash the heart of the earth!
That's right. In the past, Wang Wu did not move the heart of the earth because it was a bridge that served as a buffer between the innate and the acquired.

However, with the successful deployment of the Five Elements Spirit Array, it now possesses the significant function of stabilizing the connection between the innate and acquired energies.

If the heart of the earth is the Yangtze River Bridge, then the latter are the Second Bridge, Third Bridge, Fourth Bridge, Fifth Bridge, and Sixth Bridge.

One is worth five; this is not an exaggeration, but a fact.

In addition, their innate and acquired structures tend to be stable, as solid as reinforced concrete.

So it's time to remove the "Heart of the Earth" bridge and its mold.

But just because it's been removed doesn't mean it's useless.

Because the Heart of the Earth can also be used as a reservoir.

That is, it can be refined into another demon core.

Of course, that's all in the future, we'll talk about it later.

The current situation is that if you three demon cores with invincible bodies are not convinced, then do you dare to disobey your leader, the Heart of the Earth?
The Heart of the Earth, in particular, is a true pivotal entity.

Any policy that comes down will have a significant impact.

That's how Wang Wu operated. He sensed that the three Overlord Body Demon Cores were about to explode, so he quickly had the Heart of the Earth intervene, taking away some of their vital energy and leaving some to digest on its own. He endured the hardship a little longer...

It's like boiling a frog in lukewarm water.

No, no, no, it doesn't sound that bad. It should be called refining the elixir as easily as cooking a small fish.

Little by little, slowly, gradually, methodically, the quality of the three Overlord Body Demon Cores will be improved over time.

Of course, in this process, the amount of qi and blood consumed, and the vitality consumed, must be enormous.

This is because it's equivalent to Wang Wu's entire system, including his innate and acquired constitutions and the Great Circulation, all accommodating this one aspect. It's like all 99 top students in a class are waiting for the progress of a mediocre student; if you don't graduate, none of us will graduate.

This just goes to show that they have too much money and can do whatever they want.

In the blink of an eye, five years have passed, then ten years.

Wang Wu consumed 40 mouthfuls of precious spiritual liquid in one go, finally using this extravagant method to further enhance the quality of the three Overlord Body Demon Cores into Ruyi Demon Cores.

After this step is completed, the talent level engraved on it is also erased.

This is very dangerous, even fatal.

Even though he had made preparations in advance, this was still equivalent to a revolutionary subversion of his own foundation.

Revolution is not a dinner party; it's about killing people until heads roll and rivers of blood flow.

Many damages were simply unavoidable. For example, the Earth Heart suffered continuous shocks, dropping from level 10 to level 8 temporarily, and it also endured a ten-year period of weakness.

During this period, one cannot fight or perform any exercises; it's as if one's entire being is rendered useless, turning into a mere mortal.

However, Wang Wu's foundation was ultimately too strong.

Having reached level 20 in self-healing, coupled with the healing abilities of ice and fire spiritual energy for internal injuries, and the overall control of the Five Elements Spiritual Array, the 10-year period of weakness that the four mediocre experts had assessed for him was actually resolved in just one year. Of course, there was a price to pay; he consumed another 40 mouthfuls of spiritual liquid.

In other words, it took him 11 years and 80 mouthfuls of spiritual liquid to upgrade these three Grade 5 Overlord Body level demon cores to Grade 5 Wish-Fulfilling Demon Cores.

It's really worth it.

Five Ruyi Demon Cores!
Moreover, they are all demon cores that support the universal Five Elements Spirit Array, and their potential is so great that they cannot all be put into one pot.

Therefore, when Wang Wu's physical condition finally returned to its peak, the four cobblers, unusually, offered their unanimous and enthusiastic congratulations. Their words were so beautiful, their attitude so respectful, and their tone so high-spirited that it was unprecedented.

"You have successfully cultivated five Grade 5 Ruyi Demon Cores and successfully deployed a Five Elements Spirit Array within your body. At the same time, you have ensured the balance of your acquired cultivation system and possess two Ruyi Spirit Cores. You have achieved a hidden achievement—Third in the Great Wilderness!"

"This means that, based on known information, the first person to achieve this was the Snake Emperor, the second was the Nine-Tailed Great Emperor of the Spirit Fox Clan, and you are the third."

"Although we don't have information on high-level cultivators in the outside world, based on the analysis of the strength of those who come to train, your foundation may still reach the first-class standard of the outside world."

"Your passive talent, Concealment, has been restored to level 20 and no longer provides any bonuses."

"Your Danger Sense talent has been restored to level 20+1, with no additional bonuses. (Corrected)"

"Your lifespan will be increased by 300 years, currently at 829 years (including 500 years of old age)."

"Your maximum health and stamina +1000 points, agility, strength, and defense +50 points."

"You have three blank Ruyi Demon Cores. Please inscribe them with the required basic attributes, talents, and supernatural abilities as soon as possible."

"Your bloodline evolution level +1%, currently at 60.5% (50% already used)."

-

"So, how do we inscribe these three blank Ruyi Demon Cores?"

"Should we continue to emphasize stealth and the sense of danger?"

After thinking deeply for a long time, Wang Wu finally called out the four cobblers.

"Grandpa Tree's Information Database: It is not recommended to continue engraving Concealment. You can wear that Ever-Changing Auspicious Leaf. You can consume 300 million points of Green Wood Spiritual Energy to upgrade it. You will then gain approximately +2 levels of the passive Concealment effect. After that, you will be able to sense Grandpa Tree, and Grandpa Tree will also sense you. Grandpa Tree will give you the greatest protection. You deserve Grandpa Tree's kindness."

"Bear Family Information Database: It is recommended that you fully imprint Danger Sensing. This will strengthen your connection with the descendants of the Serpent Emperor. A family needs to be together. Great-Grandma loves you~"

"Peacock Clan Information Database: Passive stealth and danger perception are useless! Enhance them all with Demonic Wind Inscription! I'll be as fast as lightning, as swift as the wind! I'm the fastest! No one can catch me! Hahahaha, I'm a flying bird!"

"Attribute panel: Your current remaining spirit liquid is 355 sips... I don't know what you're talking about..."

-

Grass!
Wang Wu pondered for a moment, then he called out the Four Clowns once again.

"Let's calculate the increased danger perception I get from a wisp of divine thought?"

"Grandpa Tree's Information Database: Several additions will be made..."

"Bear Family Information Database: A small amount will be added..."

"Peacock Family Information Database: I don't know, don't ask me..."

"Attribute bar: This needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. If you want to use it for danger prediction, the effect will increase danger perception by about 0.5 levels. But if you use it in combat, the advantage that a wisp of divine sense brings you can increase by about 3 levels. That is to say, divine sense is more suitable for combat than for prediction."

-

I understand, and this is actually a problem that Wang Wu has been considering.

Each stage should be discussed in its own way. In the past, he not only had to be strategically cowardly, but also tactically cowardly.

Because we really can't beat them.

However, at this stage, he needs to make some adjustments.

That is, strategically, we should continue to play it safe, which means not actively provoking those powerful forces and not making a fuss.

This way you can basically avoid some very deadly enemies.

However, tactically, he can be a bit more aggressive.

Because tactics can be flexible, and when necessary, one can be more proactive in analysis and initiating advances and retreats.

It doesn't seem like strategy. Without more information and intelligence, without a broader perspective, who dares to say they can master strategy?
Therefore, strategic retreat is actually a necessary way to avoid risks.

In this context, passive concealment and danger perception become less important.

Just like right now, he is 30,000 meters underground, surrounded by a small house made of black iron hundreds of meters thick. Who would dare say that the concealment effect is not strong?
Even a level 25 passive stealth skill might not achieve this effect.

Of course, passive concealment is still very useful when engaging in external activities.

So Wang Wu's idea was that he could inscribe a demon core when he was passively concealed, but not when he sensed danger. This would give him two more blank inscription slots. Wouldn't that be great?
