Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 50 Beneath the Tree of Immortality, the Crimson Spring Remains Everlasting

Li Changsheng continued to refine every branch and every leaf with the essence of the sun and moon and the stone finger runes.

Another year has passed.

The branches are also rapidly being tempered and strengthened, transforming into towering peaks piercing the clouds in the world of visualization.

Next comes the blood tempering.

The blood vessels on the body completely merged into the body, transforming into blood vessels, with streams of scarlet blood flowing through them.

Through repeated tempering and refining, the body is tempered and refined, drawing upon the essence of the sun and moon, constantly circulating.

This time, it took two years of blood tempering. Just as he was about to succeed, Li Changsheng noticed something unusual about his body.

He quickly burrowed underground and fled, disappearing deep into the ground and getting far away from Liu Wuyou.

Wow

Blood flowed like a great river, reflecting a crimson glow all around.

Countless streams of scarlet blood flowed from the body, merging into this blood-red light.

Even with his illusions concealing it, the blood-red light was still reflected.

The blood-red light absorbed the blood and slowly changed, transforming into the shape of a spring.

Blood Spring!

He couldn't help but think of the Records of the Great Wilderness, Western Section: "There is a Yuanqiu Mountain, on which grows an immortal tree; eating it grants longevity; there is also a red spring, drinking from which one does not age."

The immortal tree; eating it grants longevity.

There is also a red spring; drinking from it will grant you eternal youth!

Li Changsheng stared blankly at the blood-red spring water. It was red, wasn't this the Crimson Spring?

Eating one's own tree leaves grants immortality, and drinking one's own blood prevents aging.

I am such a treasure!

Fortunately, I had a premonition and managed to escape underground in time.

Otherwise, if Liu Wuyou sensed it, he would have to kill the tree to silence it!

However, the blood of most plants is not red; it is called sap by humans.

As for my own immortal tree... well, it's a different species to begin with, and only a few words about it are recorded in the Great Wilderness Classic, which can be used as a reference.

If there is no blood, how can the Crimson Spring come about?

The blood reflected in the water was rather depressing; wasn't this clearly an invitation for people to drink blood and eat trees?

  

As he pondered, he discovered that with the appearance of the Crimson Spring, the power of the sun and moon, as well as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, became active, surging wildly into the Crimson Spring and then into his body.

Is this the correct way to cultivate the Tree of Immortality?

But that's too high-profile!

Just outrageous!

"Now that everything is complete, it's time to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

Li Changsheng wondered if his breakthrough to Foundation Establishment would cause an even bigger stir.

Just in case, it's best to be cautious and find a secluded place.

They burrowed underground and left, far from Zhongyang City, arriving at a deserted dense forest, where only some unintelligent poisonous insects roamed nearby.

Still hidden underground, it sits cross-legged to break through.

Although there are no Foundation Establishment Pills, one is already at the peak of one's own potential and therefore does not need Foundation Establishment Pills.

The Longevity Dao Scripture circulated wildly, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The power of the sun and moon intertwined around him, and crimson blood surged within his body.

The Crimson Spring slowly revealed itself. If the Crimson Spring were revealed, the cultivation speed could be increased by two or three times.

This method is only suitable for practice when safety is assured; if there is even one living creature among them, they must be silenced.

After thinking it over, he was still worried, so he took out the materials from his storage bag, set up an array, and activated his own array before continuing his cultivation.

This is perfect. Even a regular Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn't be able to detect him once they arrive underground.

With peace of mind and the blessing of the Red Spring, one can fully absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the essence of the sun and moon.

With spiritual energy flowing through his body and immersed in cultivation, Li Changsheng seemed to have transformed into a miniature world of immortality.

Endless vitality, branches and leaves form the earth and mountains, blood flows like rivers.

The power of the sun and moon converges, manifesting as the sun and moon.

His torso is the pillar of heaven, supporting this tiny world, connecting it to the outside world, and drawing upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Streams of spiritual energy surged within the world, strengthening every corner of it.

His formation was also activated, a heavy aura permeated the air, and the surrounding illusionary formations intertwined, along with the sharp aura of the Xuanjin Formation.

The spiritual energy circulated, condensed, and compressed, transforming into a drop of golden liquid.

Spiritual energy transforms into golden liquid; this is the Foundation Establishment stage!

The golden liquid of the Foundation Establishment stage is called Dao Yuan by cultivators.

Li Changsheng remained safely underground, transforming his spiritual energy into Dao Yuan Golden Liquid.

During the practice, time passed unnoticed, and in the blink of an eye, two months had gone by.

Li Changsheng finally transformed all his spiritual power into Dao Yuan Golden Liquid and stepped into the Foundation Establishment Realm!

Instead of rushing out of seclusion, he spent several days refining and upgrading the Xuanjin Array and the Illusion Array.

The rich Dao Yuan Golden Liquid is more than enough to sustain the array's energy consumption for a long time!

However, with the stone finger runes, once he entered the Foundation Establishment stage, his physical defense was no less than that of a mid-grade magic weapon.

If I stand still now, even a mid-grade magic weapon can't hurt me!

Within the same level, he is definitely not weaker than the ancient demon genius. In fact, he is confident that he is even stronger than Niu Wendao, but he doesn't know by how much stronger.

The Longevity Dao Scripture surpasses its predecessors in both the quantity and quality of true essence.

After all, he could be said to have achieved perfect Foundation Establishment, while most people only achieve Foundation Establishment with their spine supporting the sky.

But as confident as he was, he wouldn't be foolish enough to actually seek out ancient demons for practice.

His true form had grown to a height of ten feet, its entire body blood red, crystal clear like jade, resembling a ruby.

"The more I look at it, the more it resembles a demonic tree," Li Changsheng muttered, even though he himself was a demonic tree.

"Upon entering the Foundation Establishment stage, with the Xuan Tian Law in place, the path to Foundation Establishment is smooth sailing, but the Golden Elixir Rejuvenation Pill..."

Li Changsheng pondered, realizing he didn't possess the cultivation method for the Golden Elixir Rejuvenation Pill.

The Lingxu Cave Heaven can be used as a reference, but it is not very useful and is far inferior to the Xuantian Daojing.

The Golden Elixir is still a long way off, so let's not think about it for now.

Li Changsheng circulated his Dao Yuan within his body, unleashing true fire.

Foundation Establishment cultivators can generate true fire, which can be used for refining weapons and pills, and its power is considerable.

A golden flame danced in his palm.

It contains the power of the sun and moon, as well as various elemental powers.

The Mysterious Heaven Dao Scripture encompasses all things, and so does the Longevity Dao Scripture!

When the real fire appeared, the surrounding soil melted, but he himself felt nothing.

After all, it's his own real fire, how could it possibly hurt him?

Why don't you try making it yourself?

I had this idea before, but then I thought, I've already successfully imprinted the array, why bother trying it again?

Most importantly, his physique was already strong enough, and there were no impurities to remove, so tempering with true fire would not help.

He dispelled the surrounding illusion array and disappeared underground.

In the blink of an eye, they were back at Aoyagi-in.

Liu Wuyou has already reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, which is quite fast, considering that he doesn't have Qi Refining Pills or flesh and blood nourishment.

"You've reached the Foundation Establishment stage?" Liu Wuyou asked.

"Yes, you have successfully established your foundation." Li Changsheng said, "Would you like to cultivate in a different place? I can take you to Lingxu Cave Heaven, where the spiritual energy is much richer."

"If I could settle down in a sect, I would naturally be willing," Liu Wuyou said. "But I am, after all, a tree spirit. Wouldn't the humans of Lingxu Cave Heaven pluck my leaves and cut me down for firewood?"

"No, I'll take you to Senior Brother Nie Qiu's place. You can focus on your cultivation," Li Changsheng said.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

The old tree trunk split open completely, revealing Liu Wuyou's new tree, which was about a meter tall, as it pulled its roots out of the soil.

Li Changsheng took Liu Wuyou and disappeared underground.

He preferred to burrow underground rather than fly on a sword.

Trees are more comfortable and less conspicuous in the ground; flying on a sword or something like that would attract too much attention.

Returning to Lingxu Cave, we arrived at Nie Qiu's weapon-refining room.

"Senior brother," Li Changsheng called out.

"Junior brother, you've successfully established your foundation?" Nie Qiu stepped forward and asked, "Why did it take so long?"

"My natural talent is too poor, so it took me longer to achieve this," Li Changsheng said. "Compared to my senior brother, I am far inferior. Niu Wendao is also impressive, having successfully established his foundation in a short time."

"It can't compare to Niu Wendao." Nie Qiu shook his head and said, "I heard the sect leader say before that Niu Wendao seemed to have received a blessing. A powerful Niu clan expert gave him a drop of blood to help him build his foundation. If he were an ordinary ancient demon, his foundation would definitely be unstable if he broke through so quickly."

"I see," Li Changsheng said in realization. He was still wondering how the calf could move so fast, contemplating his own world and establishing the foundation of the Dao.

If you have powerful backers, then you'll be fine.

"What is this?" Nie Qiu looked at Uncle Liu in his hand.

"The willow trees in Qingliu Courtyard have become spirits. It's not safe to leave them outside. I want to bring them back and raise them," Li Changsheng said.

"Grow a tree? You're really something," Nie Qiu laughed.

Liu Wuyou said respectfully, "Greetings, Senior Brother."

"Although I can't understand it, the voice is indeed beautiful." Nie Qiu immediately showed an expression of understanding: "However, with the sect leader's matter as an example, let us take it as a warning, a warning indeed."

Li Changsheng's face darkened: "I'm not the sect leader, and I can't possibly be looking for a tree."
