Longevity in Two Worlds: Double Pupils Are the Road to Invincibility

Chapter 245 Refining into the Body: Heaven Grants, But Those Who Reject It Will Suffer the Consequences
Ancient Moon Peak.

Inside the room, a figure sat cross-legged with eyes closed.

In front of this person, there was a flying sword about half the size of an arm floating in the air. The sword had many patterns on it and looked quite extraordinary.

There is a special force connecting the flying sword and the person sitting cross-legged, linking their energy.

The person sitting cross-legged poured streams of Yin energy into the flying sword, making the eerie light on the sword shine brighter and brighter, almost blindingly so.

The person sitting cross-legged was increasing the amount of Yin energy they were injecting. As the ghostly light grew stronger, the flying sword gradually shrank, eventually flying directly into the person's brow and disappearing completely.

"Finally, I've refined this tribulation-enhancing magic weapon. Now, I need to nurture it slowly."

"According to Master Lü, it would be best if I nurtured it for the first two months and did not use the tribulation magic weapon, so as not to damage the newly born spirit inside and affect the future growth of the magic weapon."

After Shi Yi finished refining the lightning tribulation magic weapon and stored it in his sea of ​​consciousness, he slowly opened his eyes.

Previously, when it was still the Thunder Tribulation Sword, it could only be carried externally and was difficult to refine into the body. However, when it reached the level of a magic weapon, it could be integrated into the sea of ​​consciousness. This is also a major feature of magic weapons, making them easier to carry.

The refining process was not complicated for Shi Yi. After the magic weapon was upgraded and he once again recognized it with blood, he integrated his aura into the core of the array within the lightning tribulation magic weapon and refined it with the power of the Yin God.

Similar to the previous Thunder Tribulation Sword, the Thunder Tribulation Magic Treasure still contains a core area of ​​the formation, which is also where the Yin Spirit is contained. The matter of refining it is also related to this place.

After adding the new formation, it naturally needs to be refined again.

If Shi Yi were to engage in combat and unleash the destructive power of the lightning within, then his Yin Spirit would need to be hidden within the core of the formation; otherwise, his Yin Spirit would also be harmed by the destructive power of the lightning.

After all, the power of destructive lightning, once unleashed, does not distinguish between friend and foe.

The power of thunder can destroy everything, and it is the power that the Yin gods fear most.

"Given the current state of the tribulation magic weapon, the destructive power of the lightning contained within has increased considerably. At the same time, the number of times I can use it has also increased. After the lightning power inside is consumed, the recovery rate also increases, resulting in a longer duration."

"Compared to the previous Thunder Tribulation Sword, it has now been completely upgraded!"

"Moreover, the tribulation magic weapon has not yet reached its limit. During the time it is nurtured in the sea of ​​consciousness, its power will continue to grow."

“Only after the spirituality within is stabilized will this growth slow down, entering a period of slow growth, at which time its power will be even greater.”

Shi Yi learned more about the magic weapon from Lü Yan.

In particular, information about the growth of magical artifacts and the nurturing of their spiritual essence is what he cares about most.

The relevant information might be found in the books in the Transmission Pavilion, but with the reminder from a weapon-refining master like Lü Yan, he naturally didn't need to go through the trouble of searching and flipping through them slowly. After all, weapon-refining masters would have more complete information, and they might even know things that weren't recorded in the books.

The books in the Chuan Gong Ge collection certainly contain a lot of information, but they may not be complete.

Unlike on Earth, the people of this world are not so generous in sharing their precious knowledge.

Even on Earth, knowledge of immense value is not accessible to ordinary people; it is instead transformed into intellectual property.

These are things that Shi Yi only came to understand on his path to adulthood.

"Once a magic weapon enters its growth stage, if you want it to improve rapidly again, you need to refine even more precious spiritual materials into it."

"The tribulation magic weapon I currently possess has already developed sentience. The spiritual materials that Master Lü mentioned, which can further enhance the tribulation magic weapon, are extremely precious and would be fought over even by ancient masters and other figures within the sect."

"I will have difficulty obtaining such precious spiritual materials in the short term, so I can temporarily disregard this situation."

Shi Yi naturally wanted to be able to quickly enhance the power of the tribulation magic weapon once it entered its growth stage.

After all, for cultivators, Taoist weapons are the best way to improve combat power. For Shi Yi, the Thunder Tribulation Magic Treasure is his Taoist weapon. The two have their energy intertwined, and now he has taken them into his sea of ​​consciousness to nurture them. The connection between them is naturally far greater than that between others.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will continue to nurture this one Taoist weapon until he becomes a master of the Immortal Realm, because it is extremely difficult to obtain a Taoist weapon that is more precious than the tribulation-inducing magic weapon he already possesses.

Even if one's cultivation of Daoist arts reaches the level of "sitting in oblivion," generating numerous thoughts and enabling multitasking, one would still not cultivate too many magical treasures.

Because the nurturing process consumes a certain amount of the cultivator's Yin spirit power, nurturing a magic weapon has little impact on the cultivator and can even help temper the Yin spirit and improve cultivation. However, if the number of nurtured items increases, it will conversely affect the cultivator's cultivation progress.

Lu Yan had also mentioned this to Shi Yi, reminding him that even if he obtained a new magic weapon, he should not think about nurturing other magic weapons.

In Lü Yan's view, Shi Yi already possessed a lightning tribulation magic weapon that had given birth to a spirit, which was enough for Shi Yi's level of cultivation in Daoist arts; anything more would be a burden.

Shi Yi was specially introduced by Gu Qianqiu and was also Gu Qianqiu's disciple. He had previously brought out a treasure like the lightning-struck wood, which is why Gu Qianqiu was so careful in reminding him. If it were anyone else, he would naturally not have done so.

It's already quite kind of you to offer a friendly reminder.

"Moreover, according to Master Lü, once the tribulation magic weapon reaches its growth stage, the combat power it can unleash will be enough for me to use for a long time."

"Even if I cultivate to the level of forgetting the world, the power of the Thunder Tribulation Magic Treasure will not be weaker than other magic treasures. In fact, because of the destructive power contained within it, as long as I nurture it properly, it will be even better."

Shi Yi was naturally satisfied with the power of the lightning tribulation magic weapon in his hands.

He could clearly sense the change in the destructive lightning power contained within the Thunder Tribulation Sword after it was upgraded to a Thunder Tribulation Magic Treasure. With the support of the new formation and magic treasure, the destructive lightning power gathered there far surpassed that of before.

Because the spirit has just been born, Shi Yi did not use the power of thunder within it, but let it be used freely, so as not to affect the spirit within.

Even so, given his understanding of the Thunder Tribulation Sword and the power of thunder within it that he could feel, he could easily compare the differences between the two.

Once the tribulation-enhancing magic weapon reaches its growth stage, he will be able to truly witness the destructive power of lightning after it is upgraded to a tribulation-enhancing magic weapon!
Shi Yi is also looking forward to it.

The overwhelming power of thunder is certainly not weak.

"I've already obtained the tribulation-refining magic weapon from the weapon-refining hall. Since I don't have any other masters in the sect, I'll continue my seclusion and cultivation." "As for the Taiyi Dao Sect, I'll emerge from seclusion once I've perfected the Xuanzhen Concealing Breath Technique."

"We'll arrange the supplementary cultivation resources later."

In fact, given Shi Yi's current situation, almost no one would be able to detect the Zen aura emanating from him, because it has been concealed and hidden within his sea of ​​consciousness, making it impossible for ordinary people to perceive.

Shi Yi went to the weapon refining hall today and everything went smoothly without any accidents. However, Shi Yi still plans to complete his cultivation of the Xuanzhen Breath Concealment Technique before emerging from seclusion.

He didn't make a move today either. Even when testing the tribulation magic weapon, he only used a portion of the Yin spirit's power and didn't let the Yin spirit leave its body. Therefore, Lü Yan didn't notice anything wrong, and nothing happened.

However, if he encounters other troubles and has to use the power of the Yin spirit, or even in an emergency where the power of the Yin spirit is greatly depleted, then the situation may change!

Within the sect, this possibility is not high, but Shi Yi still ruled out the possibility.

Because his current identity as a disciple of the Taiyi Sect is still very useful, if he were to give it up and try to regain a similar identity, although it wouldn't mean starting all over again, it would take him a lot of time and energy, and there would be many uncertainties along the way.

At his current level of cultivation, Shi Yi needs stability and a low profile.

"Through my efforts these past few days, I have mastered several Taoist arts, including the 'Bewitchment Technique,' and I am not far from achieving mastery!"

"The difficulty of cultivation is not great."

His progress in cultivating Taoist arts was about what Shi Yi had expected, and his efforts over the past few days had not been in vain.

Although he had already mastered these Taoist arts to a minor level, which had already met his requirements, the effect was naturally even better now that he had reached this level!
This is why Shi Yi still spends so much effort on these Taoist arts.

Furthermore, he doesn't only use these Taoist techniques on Blue Star; he also uses them in the Central Great World if something happens.

After all, with such mastery of Taoist arts, he could play a certain role when he clashed with other Taoist masters.

Even masters of Taoist arts cannot be completely immune to this level of Taoist techniques. Furthermore, there is a combination of Taoist techniques, and the power unleashed at that time will far exceed that of casting a single Taoist technique.

"Once the tribulation magic weapon in my possession reaches its growth stage, I can go to the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm to test the strength of the Earth Flame Demon Serpent in the Earth Core Rock Pool. It would be even better if I could defeat the Earth Flame Demon Serpent. Even if I can't, I should still obtain some Thousand-Year Fire Lotus from the Earth Core Rock Pool."

"With my current cultivation level in Daoist arts, plus the power of the tribulation lightning magic weapon, my combat strength should be sufficient!"

"With a treasure of the Thousand-Year Fire Lotus level, my cultivation progress will definitely improve again, greatly shortening the time it takes for me to advance to the Dharma Aspect realm."

Shi Yi had witnessed the power of the Earth Flame Serpent.

The Earth Flame Serpent is a type of demonic beast that emphasizes physical strength. It possesses immense power and the ability to breathe fire, making it particularly troublesome in places like the Earth Core Pool.

However, due to the limitations of the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm, the Earth Core Rock Pool's strength has reached its limit, making it difficult for it to become even stronger!
Previously, most of those who entered the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm were Daoist masters at the Yuan Dan realm, with a small number being those at the Object Manipulation level. This was because the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm had an upper limit on the power it could bear, and Daoist masters at the Yuan Dan level were the upper limit of the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm.

Daoist masters at the Dharma Aspect level cannot enter the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm. The complex formations within the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm impose these restrictions, which is one reason why those with higher levels of Daoist cultivation have not entered the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm.

Shi Yi's cultivation level has now reached the Yuan Dan and Jin Dan levels, which is almost the upper limit that the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm can bear. This is another opportunity for Shi Yi to enter before his cultivation level breaks through.

Otherwise, once Shi Yi's Daoist cultivation breaks through to the Dharma Aspect realm, it's uncertain when he will be able to re-enter the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm.

Once one's cultivation in the Dao reaches a certain level, one can naturally ignore all restrictions. Furthermore, a Thunder Tribulation Immortal expert, upon reaching a certain level, can tear through the void and travel across realms. In the face of such experts, the array restrictions of the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm are nothing at all.

However, none of these are things that Shi Yi can do in a short period of time.

Therefore, Shi Yi also thought that while he was still at the Yuan Dan level, he would go into the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm to look for opportunities.

It would be best to enter before the next Heavenly Fire Secret Realm opens, then he can be the only one to obtain the opportunities inside, and no one will compete with him.

After Qu Sheng's betrayal of his fellow disciples, the sect already knew about the Earth Core Pool, the Earth Flame Serpent, and the Thousand-Year Fire Lotus. The disciples who enter the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm next time will definitely compete for this opportunity.

Therefore, if possible, Shi Yi naturally intends to seize this opportunity in advance.

The opportunity was there, but if he didn't have the strength, Shi Yi naturally wouldn't pay attention to it, as it would be a waste of time. However, he had enough strength, so he naturally wouldn't miss it.

If you don't accept what heaven gives you, you will suffer the consequences.

"I left two anchor points in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm before, which was a bit of a waste of anchor points."

"It was inconvenient to retrieve it before, but when I re-enter the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm, I will retrieve one anchor point first."

"Leaving one anchor point unused has little impact, but leaving two anchor points unused is a waste."

"These anchor points might come in handy sometime!"

Because of Qu Sheng, Shi Yi had previously left an anchor point near the exit of the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm.

He hadn't originally intended to leave this anchor point, because leaving one near the entrance to the underground cave would have been enough for Shi Yi. However, he used it later because Qu Sheng was pursuing him too closely, which also served to widen the distance between the two of them.

Last time when he left the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm, he didn't have a chance to retrieve it. After entering again, he naturally thought about retrieving the anchor point.

However, due to the uncertainty after the secret realm closes, Shi Yi still plans to wait until the tribulation magic weapon enters its growth period and its spirituality stabilizes before making arrangements for this matter.

Faced with the unknown situations in these secret realms, Shi Yi still prefers to make more preparations for his own safety.

Previously, after the secret realm closed, those who deliberately stayed inside did not come out, which shows that there must have been other unknown dangers after the secret realm closed, so it is not Shi Yi's character to enter rashly.

Once everything is ready, he can then check the situation inside the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm. That way, even if there are any dangers inside, he will have the ability to deal with them.
