The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Chapter 49: The young tiger sharpens its teeth, becoming even more powerful

The Water Palace is still as ancient and mysterious as ever, filled with an eternal atmosphere.
Ever since Leizhan returned to Shuifu, he felt relaxed and comfortable.

During the nearly four years of adventure and training, Lei Zhan had been fighting with the demons on the North Sea, or constantly going to the lairs of the sinful demons, and had almost no free time.

Now that he was back in the Water Palace, Dui Leizhan felt that there was no place in the entire Great Xia world, or even in the entire Three Realms, where he felt safer than the Water Palace.

Lei Zhan practiced spearmanship every day, visualized the "Inner Contemplation of the Buddha of Sun and Moon", and practiced the Qigong method "Nine Directions Fragments", just as he was in the outside world.

But the taut string in my heart loosened a lot, which was just the right way to relax, and my practice was not slow at all.

Time passed, and half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

"Master." Lei Zhan looked at the immortal Ju Hua and bowed respectfully.

"Hmm." Immortal Ju Hua looked over, "But are you going out?"

"Master, nothing can be hidden from me." Lei Zhan smiled faintly, "Now that my disciple has broken through to the Wanxiang level, I feel a sense of urgency in my heart."

Although the Qi training method "Nine Directions Fragments" is top-notch, it requires the accumulation of a huge amount of heaven and earth energy.

Lei Zhan has now broken through to the level of Wanxiang Zhenren. Compared with the Zifu level, the speed of breathing in the vital energy of heaven and earth naturally increases tenfold or a hundredfold.

But even so, accumulating the spiritual energy of heaven and earth needed to break through to the level of Yuanshen Taoist is still a drop in the bucket.

"It takes longer and longer for a cultivator to progress from the Purple Mansion to the Myriad Realms, then to the Primordial Spirit Taoist, and even to the Return to Void Earth Immortal."

Immortal Ju Hua shook his head and said, "You are practicing a powerful Qi training method, which requires a lot more time."

Leizhan nodded.

The further you progress in your cultivation, the more difficult it becomes, and the deeper the foundation you need to accumulate, the more profound it becomes.

Just like building a house, the more solid and deep the foundation is, the higher it can be built and the stronger its ability to resist risks will be.

Those immortal cultivators who only cared about speed, originally built only a thatched hut, and then madly piled up height on the thatched hut. How could they compare with those palaces that had deep foundations and stood tall?

"Building Exhibition."

Immortal Ju Hua looked at Lei Zhan and said, "I originally planned to wait until you break through to the Yuanshen Daoist level before providing some assistance on your cultivation path, which would also make your journey easier."

The immortal Juhua seemed to have thought of something, and there was a slight smile on his thin face.

"However... a genius is always completely different from an ordinary cultivator. You are gifted with extraordinary talent, and your understanding of the Tao is also extremely deep. As long as you have enough essence fluid, you can even break through to the level of Yuanshen Daoist in one go..."

As the immortal Ju Hua spoke, a magic storage device appeared out of thin air in front of Lei Zhan.

"These things were originally prepared for you, so I'll give them to you in advance!"

"Huh?" Leizhan was stunned.

Ju Huaxianren's painstaking efforts were naturally clear to Lei Zhan, who had the experience of his previous life, but was he going to give it to himself now?
"It seems that my comprehension is too extraordinary, which has caused my master and the big yellow-haired bear to change their views of me..." Lei Zhan's thoughts turned.

"This Earth-grade storage magic weapon contains a Heaven-grade ultimate magic weapon and three million kilograms of Yuan Fluid that your master left for you. Even though the Nine-Direction Fragment consumes a huge amount of Yuan Fluid, it should be enough for you to break through to the Yuanshen Daoist level."

"Three million jin of Yuan Liquid?" Lei Zhan was shocked.

Three million jin of Yuan fluid is no small number. You should know that buying an immortal-level magic weapon will cost at most two to three million jin of Yuan fluid!
Even if it is only of the lower grade of the immortal rank, it is still a powerful immortal rank magic weapon!

"Well. I've calculated that if you want to break through to the Soul Formation level, three million kilograms of Yuan Fluid should be more than enough," Immortal Ju Hua warned. "However... while I can give you the Yuan Fluid, you can't neglect the polishing of your foundation. It's essential to spend some time at each stage to settle down."

The path to immortality requires constant polishing of one's foundation. Only when one's foundation is more solid can one go further in the future.

Leizhan nodded.

Disciples from large tribes and powerful forces, backed by their powerful tribes, can also obtain sufficient resources and are not lacking in guidance. They have every chance of cultivating to the Return to Void Earth Immortal level in one go, but very few actually do so!
In recent years, Lei Zhan has also met some reincarnated immortals. After recovering their memories of their previous lives, they can also improve their cultivation to the Return to Void level in one breath, but few do so unless it is necessary.

These reincarnated immortals' understanding of the spirit and the Tao is far stronger than that of ordinary immortal cultivators. There are almost no bottlenecks on the road to cultivation to the Return to Void level.

But most of them still choose to follow the steps, spending at least a few years in each realm before choosing to break through to the next realm.

Immortal Ju Hua smiled and said, "At the level of all things...at the level of the primordial spirit, different levels of cultivation lead to completely different perceptions of the Tao."

"So, although resources are not a problem, I still hope that you can stay at the Wanxiang level for a while."

"Yes." Lei Zhan saluted respectfully.

……

"Gone?" A huge yellow-haired bear shadow appeared out of thin air in the hall.

The giant bear shadow looked at the Ju Hua Immortal who was sitting cross-legged, "It seems that you are also a little worried about this little guy."

"He is my disciple. When a disciple goes out to explore the world, I naturally hope that he is safe and sound."

Immortal Ju Hua shook his head. "The Wanxiang level is the most vulnerable to destruction. My disciple is such a prodigy, he has a great chance of surviving the heavenly tribulation in the future. If he dies prematurely..." The Wanxiang True Person level, while strong, isn't exactly that strong. Above them are cultivators at the Yuanshen Daoist level and the Earthly Immortal and Sanxian levels. Even navigating the Endless Earth and the North Sea is a bit of a stretch.

But to say he was weak wasn't really that weak. After all, he was qualified to break through to the level of a Taoist Primordial Spirit, so no matter how weak he was, he couldn't be that weak.

However, it is the stage where one is most likely to fall.

When Lei Zhan reached the Purple Mansion level and went out to explore, even if he encountered danger, his master could usually rescue him in time.

But if Leizhan is stronger, the danger he encounters will naturally be greater accordingly.

If one mistakenly enters some dangerous places or ruins of gods and demons, even if the immortal Ju Hua has the power to kill immortals, he may not be able to reach his disciple in time.

"Leizhan..." The big yellow-haired bear looked leisurely.

"Leizhan is already a young tiger ready to bite the bullet and suck blood. Now that he has received all the treasures bestowed by your master, he is even more powerful."

"He was able to inherit the great magical powers left by my master, and now he can even break through the fifth floor of the War God Temple by relying on his Qigong training and the Earthly Demon Primordial Sword Formation..."

"His luck is even deeper than yours."

……

The North Sea.

A huge dragon-headed warship was flying high in the sky, passing through the heavy clouds and fog like a black lightning.

"Hahaha! What a joy!" Lei Zhan stood at the bow of the dragon-headed warship deck, his heart filled with delight.

The Qi training method "Nine Directions Fragments" is already powerful, and Lei Zhan has broken through to the Wanxiang level in the Water Palace, which is equivalent to an improvement in the foundation, and his strength is naturally enhanced in all aspects.

Later, with the help of the essence liquid given by the immortal Ju Hua, he cultivated the Qi flow to perfection.

With the help of seven hundred and twenty top-grade earth-grade flying swords, and after casting the Earthly Evil Hunyuan Sword Formation, a more powerful water and fire millstone was formed. It was naturally very easy to pass the test of the fifth floor of the Temple of War God.

"Now I'm using my all-encompassing energy to control this puppet warship, and its speed is nearly ten times faster than before! If I want to reach Beihai County City now, I can easily make it in an hour."

Lei Zhan's spiritual sense enveloped the entire dragon-headed warship, sensing the air currents passing through both sides of the dragon-headed warship, with a smile on his face.

You should know that the flying speed of this dragon-headed puppet warship has increased nearly ten times. This is only the limit of the magic weapon, but not the limit of its development!
The puppet warship is controlled by the Wanxiang Yuanli, and its speed is naturally a world apart from before!
Lei Zhan Wanxiang's perfect Qi training is almost comparable to that of a mid-stage Yuanshen. Driven by his powerful Yuan force, a puppet warship is naturally not a problem for him.

Soon, Beihai County City, located on a huge island, was in sight.

"Before, Baili Changfeng has been inviting me to attend banquets and introduce me to some new cultivators he has met." Lei Zhan looked forward. The huge Beihai County City looked like a small black dot from afar.

But as the distance got closer, the small black dot grew bigger and bigger, like a crawling giant beast, ready to attack.

"Unfortunately, I was busy slaying the all-perfect White Shark demon, so I had to decline due to other trivial matters. Now, I'd like to meet you! Also, if I want to cultivate the magical power of the Star-Picking Hand, I'll need a large amount of Five Elements Essence. I'd also like to see if I can find out any information about those Five Elements artifacts."

After Lei Zhan passed the fifth floor of the War God Temple, he didn't choose to exchange for a Heavenly Grade magical weapon or a rare item. Even if he were given a Heavenly Grade magical weapon, he wouldn't be able to use it for the time being.

Immortal cultivators usually use the ones they are best at. Even if they exchange for more, they are just placed in the storage magic weapon.

The complete set of earth-grade top-grade flying swords he had exchanged earlier was enough for him to use, and he had no shortage of them for the time being.

As for the life-saving treasures, those top-notch ones, more powerful than the God-Slaying Circle, you won't see them when exchanging for Heaven-level magic weapons for the first time. Most of them will only appear in the second or third exchange.

Even the rare item containing the essence of the five elements needed to practice the Star-Picking Hand was not found by Lei Zhan. In the end, he chose to exchange it for the most valuable cave magic weapon.

"Star-picking hand..."

Leizhan raised his palms. They were a pair of slender palms with long fingers, as if they were carved from jade. Countless extremely complex star-picking divine patterns were hidden in the deepest part of his palms.

The top magical power of picking stars passed down by Taoist Sanshou is called "Six Turns to Pick Stars".

When the God and Demon Body Refining reaches the Purple Palace level, the first level can be achieved!
At the level of all things, you can practice the second turn.

At the level of the primordial spirit, one can practice the third transformation.

At the Return to Void level, one can practice the fourth transformation.

……

Now that Leizhan's divine and demonic body refining had broken through to the Wanxiang level, he naturally wanted to find the corresponding five-element artifact as soon as possible and practice the Star-Picking Hand to the second level.

By then, just a pair of palms will be comparable to immortal-level magic weapons.

If he uses his spear skills with all his strength, it would not be impossible for him to break into the sixth floor of the Temple of War.
