Demonic Demoness Training Project

Far from resisting, he actually harbored a faint anticipation for the pure Yin body...

……

In the following month, Lu Li fought battles everywhere, clearing out the pursuers of Qingyang Palace, gathering her fellow disciples, and confiscating their supplies.

Within a month, Lu Li had gathered three hundred outer disciples, forty inner disciples, and twenty-six stewards around him. At the same time, he also killed sixteen Spirit Pivot Realm elders from enemy sects.

In response, Mr. Duan did not forget to tease Lu Li.

“My disciple, you truly are a virtuous saintess of the White Moon Palace.”

"Shut up, you old geezer. What saintess? I just wanted to hide myself."

"Persistence in false benevolence will eventually lead to goodness, and long-term adherence to empty benevolence is also benevolence."

Lu Li did not respond, so he pretended not to hear and picked up a jade slip. The jade slip projected a map of the Boundless Realm. His eyebrows furrowed slightly as he pondered something.

Chapter 192 The Return to Nothingness Seal is Completed, Gold is Swallowed and the Elixir is Condensed

Lu Li raised his hand and took out another jade slip, which recorded the concentration of the Boundless Tribulation as detected by the disciples. Based on this information, he raised his hand and gently slid it across the map projection.

Large areas were cleared out because the concentration of Boundless Tribulation in these areas was too low; even cultivators at the Creation Realm could not enter them, let alone cultivators at the Spirit Pivot Realm.

While it may seem that they have the advantage of being in the Boundless Realm, the situation is actually far from optimistic. This is because Lu Li consumed too much of the Boundless Tribulation in his battle with the artifact spirit, causing the concentration of Boundless Tribulation in this realm to drop to its lowest point.

Given enough time, the Boundless Calamity will gradually recover. However, the most pressing issue right now is that they are trapped inside, and the people of Qingyang Palace are pressing them step by step, gradually shrinking their living space.

Therefore, Lu Li must find a way to counter Hou Ze before that happens.

"If we join forces with Mu Qingque using the Reversed Heavenly Dipper Instrument, no, that won't work. It's not a safe approach."

Lu Li shook his head, rejecting this radical idea.

"To be on the safe side, we should refine the Four-Turn Blessing Returning to the Void Seal and break through to the Spirit Pivot Realm with the help of the Uranium Pill to forge the Returning to the Void Dao Body."

Furthermore, Lu Li claimed to his disciples that he had explored the depths of the Boundless Realm, where the center was an abyss containing great terror, and the concentration of Boundless Calamity there was still very high, being the source of everything.

If it's absolutely necessary, we can always brave countless eons to reach the center of the immeasurable realm. There's always a glimmer of hope in the immeasurable eons, which is better than being captured.

Lu Li said this mainly to create false evidence in advance so that he could use the Guixu Seal in the future and escape the sect's interrogation.

In addition, Lu Li would often secretly go to the void space under the guise of seclusion. He would refine the Returning Void Seal there, making the least noise and almost going unnoticed.

……

A month and a half later, in the void.

boom!

After another clap of thunder, Lu Li's disaster-preventing puppet was destroyed.

"So it failed again after all? Why is it so difficult to forge a fourth-tier puppet weapon?"

Lu Li hadn't even managed to forge many third-tier puppets. If it weren't for the readily available Returning Void Array Plate, he wouldn't have dared to forge fourth-tier puppets, let alone fifth-tier or sixth-tier puppets.

Every time Lu Li finished inscribing the spiritual energy compression array, the array would collapse on its own within three breaths, causing the entire Guixu Seal to explode.

This is not just Lu Li's problem, but an age-old problem. Even the Six-Turn Boundless Blessing Return to the Void Seal once suffered a partial collapse of this formation, resulting in its power not being fully concentrated and its power decreasing.

He could certainly abandon the spiritual energy compression array, but in doing so, the power of the Blessing Return to Nothingness Seal would be greatly reduced, even less than his full-force attack in his future form.

After twelve failures and thousands of simulations, Lu Li finally had an epiphany.

The Blessed Return to the Void Seal is different from the Lesser Return to the Void Seal. Each time it is refined, it requires a complete uranium pill. Lu Li doesn't have many uranium pills on hand, and he also needs to save them to activate the Reversal Heavenly Dipper Instrument. Therefore, he is very cautious every time he tries.

Solving this age-old problem was too difficult. He couldn't find a way to maintain the stability of the magic array, so he took a different approach.

"Since I cannot maintain its stability, I will simply give up. I will refine the remaining parts to completion, and when we encounter an enemy, I will inscribe a spiritual energy compression array on the spot."

"Since the Guixu Seal is going to explode anyway, we might as well wait until it's about to explode and then throw it at the enemy."

Realizing this, Lu Li's mind immediately cleared. He refined three half-finished Fortune Returning to the Void Seals, keeping three to activate the Reversal Heavenly Dipper Instrument.

In addition, Lu Li also had a uranium pill, which he used for other purposes.

In short, as long as he can perform well in actual combat, that's enough. Lu Li didn't dare to hope for anything more.

After rounding up, Lu Li has successfully crafted his first four-turn mechanical artifact.

After finishing these tasks, Lu Li immediately took out several kinds of spiritual materials. He had collected the sect's supplies and put together the set of spiritual materials he needed.

To break through the Spiritual Pivot, one must forge one's own unique Spiritual Pivot and forge one's own path.

As for which path to take, Lu Li had already made a plan. With his previous extensive accumulation, Lu Li's breakthrough to the Spirit Pivot Realm became a natural progression.

He laid out all the spiritual materials in a row and counted them one by one.

"The unused Extreme Cold Jade Marrow and Formless Glazed Glass from before, the newly acquired mutated Nether Fluorite... and a Uranium Pill, a total of thirty-two kinds of spiritual materials, all complete."

Lu Li took a deep breath, crushed and smelted them one by one, then opened his abdominal cavity and poured the fused liquid into it.

At the same time, Mu Qingque was also in the void, standing a hundred miles away, protecting Lu Li. Her golden eyes blinked as she murmured:

"Since ancient times, some people have cultivated the Dao Body of Returning to Nothingness, and some have cultivated the Boundless Blessing Returning to Nothingness Seal, but no one has been able to break through the Spiritual Pivot with it. Perhaps, she can be the first."

Inserting uranium into the body is tantamount to inserting a time bomb.

"Breaking through the Spiritual Pivot involves three steps, and this is the first step: Devouring Gold."

Integrate specific spiritual materials into your body and use yourself as a furnace to refine them.

At this moment, Lu Li put the Qi-Harmony Cauldron into a state of complete circulation, carefully regulating the three elements in an attempt to achieve a delicate balance.

The three forces of Yin energy, extreme cold energy, and immeasurable calamity intertwined within his body, surging wildly as if they might spiral out of control at any moment.

The power of extreme cold belongs to the Ice Path, which is a relatively common lineage and the easiest to control. There are many cases and classic texts about advancement in this path.

Yin energy belongs to the dark path, which is also quite common. It is extremely compatible with the ice path and is not difficult to control. There are also many cases and classics about advancement in this path.

However, when countless eons are involved, this balance is completely broken and becomes extremely chaotic.

Lu Li had almost no reference points to draw upon, and could only rely on his own understanding of the spiritual material Guixu Uranium to make careful adjustments.

After a stick of incense had burned, Lu Li achieved a balance of the three forces. His tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and his aura gradually became stable.

For ordinary people, it would often take several hours, or even several days, to complete this step.

Seeing that Lu Li had stabilized the three forces so quickly, Mu Qingque recalled her own experience back then and was immediately surprised. Even she had used up two incense sticks' worth of time back then.

"Very well, the next step is the second step: Core Formation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a vortex of energy formed in Lu Li's lower abdomen, where various spiritual materials had gathered and condensed in his dantian.

He possessed a mixed spiritual root of four colors, and that place was also where his spiritual root resided. However, Lu Li never cared about his spiritual root; compared to his exquisitely modified body, this spiritual root had virtually no presence.

In a daze, Lu Li vaguely heard the cawing of a wooden crow.

"Name: Lu Li, age 15, physical quality: Grade D, low grade; spiritual strength: Grade D, low grade."

"Spiritual root condition: less than 1/3 of metal, 27/30 of wood, 16/10 of water, 13/10 of fire, and 44/40 of earth. Preliminary identification is earth and wood spiritual roots."

"The assessment results have been recorded. This person's overall qualities are poor, he has no talent for cultivation, and his organs are severely damaged. However, given that he has earth and wood spiritual roots, it is recommended that his five internal organs and spiritual roots be removed and handed over to the sect for processing. This should be carried out immediately."

These were the words that Mu Ya said when Lu Li was caught by the disciples of Qingyang Palace while trying to escape his debts, and when he was assessing Lu Li's talent.

Perhaps these people will never have imagined that the boy who almost had his heart ripped out would one day appear here, and in such a manner, reach the Ling Shu stage.

Just then, a thunderclap came from outside the void.

Boom!

Mu Qingque was immediately startled. The third step was the tribulation, and Lu Li had not even completed the second step of condensing the core. How could there be a tribulation of lightning?

She took out a projection device and viewed the outside world. She saw an old man standing with his hands behind his back, fifty miles above the Boundless Realm.

"Is it that elder from the Creation Realm? Why now of all times!"

Chapter 193 Sumeru Dust and Sand Realm

The mechanical wooden kite was outside the void, transmitting images back in real time through a high-precision reconnaissance device. Mu Qingque had seen Hou Ze's portrait with Lu Li before, so she recognized him at a glance.

"Peak of the Creation Realm... If he only has a fourth-rank puppet, it's fine, but if this person has a fifth-rank puppet, he will indeed be difficult to deal with."

Mu Qingque was pondering this when she saw the old man raise his hand and wave it, as if he had thrown something out.

She reached out and zoomed in on the image, only to see a fleeting glimpse of starlight in mid-air.

"That looks like... a speck of dust?"

The thick earthen path marks unfolded from there, and the next moment, yellow sand swept across the sky, spreading between heaven and earth, and the purplish-red sky darkened.

At the same time, Elder Duan was waiting in Lu Li's sea of ​​consciousness for an opportunity to act. She also saw the images transmitted back by the mechanical wooden kite, and at a glance, she recognized the origin of the thing.

Dust and sand engulf all things, expanding boundaries and overturning the universe.

This is a fifth-stage earthen artifact—the [Sumeru Dust and Sand Realm]!

This is no ordinary fifth-level artifact; like her inverted celestial instrument, it comes from an ancient secret realm and contains a supreme lineage.

Originating from the same source, the Reversed Heavenly Dipper Instrument can act on cause and effect and destiny. How could this Sumeru Dust and Sand Realm be so simple? The Five Revolutions are merely a manifestation; its upper limit is far greater than that.

In terms of size, this Sumeru Dust and Sand Realm is smaller than the Reversed Heavenly Dipper Instrument, only the size of a grain of sand. However, this small artifact can continuously expand itself, becoming extremely flat, and eventually it becomes like a giant curtain that covers the sky, spanning a radius of hundreds of miles.

Previously, the Boundless Realm was too vast, spanning five hundred miles in diameter, and cultivators above the Open Source Realm were not allowed to enter. Now, with the concentration of Boundless Tribulation decreasing, even cultivators at the Creation Realm can enter within a radius of one hundred miles.

This hundred-mile range is the limit that the Fifth Rank Sumeru Dust and Sand Realm can cover, so it was only at this moment that Hou Ze unleashed this mechanical artifact.

At this moment, Duan Xuanyuan turned his attention back to Lu Li.

As luck would have it, the attack occurred precisely when Lu Li was preparing to break through. The Sumeru Dust and Sand Realm could affect the soil and rocks within its range, thus creating a sandstorm.

More importantly, when dust swirls around, the magic arrays within are affected, and the smelting of spirit ore cannot be carried out because of the dust. In such an environment, some sophisticated high-revolution artifacts cannot be forged.

These dust particles are ubiquitous and are manifestations of the Dao of Earth. They cannot be simply blocked by physical means. As long as one is enveloped by the Sumeru Dust and Sand Realm, no matter how one tries to block them or where one hides, dust will continue to appear around one's body.

Furthermore, this artifact can also obscure the secrets of heaven to a certain extent. When the secrets of heaven are obscured, even if Lu Li completes the second step of condensing the core, he will not be able to trigger the tribulation of lightning and complete the third step.

It is said that in ancient times, there was a mid-level sect that was punished for offending an upstream sect. The upstream sect's method of punishment was very special. It was not simply a matter of suppressing the sect with force, but rather it activated a seventh-level Sumeru Dust and Sand Realm to envelop the entire sect.

For the next three thousand years, the sect was covered in sand and dust, which greatly affected the forging of puppets. Not only did the level of puppetry in the sect stagnate, but cultivators also found it difficult to break through.

These three thousand years have been like being imprisoned; all living beings within the sect have become prisoners.

Three thousand years later, the Sumeru Dust and Sand Realm was dissolved, and the sect's foundation was severely damaged, ultimately forcing it to retreat to a lower level.

Making everyone witness the fading of past glory and implicating future generations to continue suffering punishment is far more cruel than killing a group of sect leaders and slaughtering a large number of sect disciples.

At this moment, Lu Li was attempting to condense his core when he suddenly discovered that some dust had appeared within his body. The balance of the three forces he had painstakingly maintained was instantly shattered by the appearance of this dust.

The uranium from the void surged wildly within his body, and a burning sensation rose from his lower abdomen, as if it might explode at any moment!

"not good!"

Lu Li quickly activated the Qi-Harmony Cauldron, using his Qi to absorb the uranium from the Guixu region near his lower abdomen, then re-gathered and separated it, thus stabilizing the situation within his body.

"It was forced to stop..."

Lu Li sighed helplessly.

Dust was everywhere, and with each breath, he felt his airways begin to block. He quickly activated the Qi-Gathering Cauldron to expel the dust from his body.

Lu Li stood up again and met up with Mu Qingque. After seeing the images outside, he roughly understood the current situation.

“That old thing probably can’t get in yet, but at this distance, he can already use his puppet to interfere with the situation within the Boundless Realm.”

What are your plans next?

Lu Li pondered for a moment, his eyes flashing, as if he had made up his mind.

"Right now, the only way out is to take a risk and break free from this situation."

"I am coming too!"

Lu Li sized up Mu Qingque, and seeing her resolute gaze, he took a deep breath. He really wanted Mu Qingque to join his scheme. As the saying goes, one should not accept a reward without merit. He had originally been thinking about what he could offer in exchange for getting her to help him.

He didn't have any extra uranium pills to give the other party. The only thing he could offer, and that the other party also wanted, was the inheritance in the ink box.

As expected, before he could even speak, Mu Qingque had already expressed her opinion.

"Are you sure? This is dangerous."

"No problem, don't worry about it, leave it to me!"

"Sigh, I guess I owe you a favor."
