It was a curved spirit vein, and it was scattered all over the place under Thousand River Valley. More accurately speaking, this spirit vein was not complete. It was broken, and it was as if there were nearly a thousand of these spirit veins in the depths of the ground.
Each of them was incredibly weak and inconspicuous, but once there were a thousand of them, the spiritual energy in the world that was formed was enough for Hidden Dragon Sect to take a fancy to Thousand River Valley and turn it into their branch sect.
These crystal veins were known as Shaman Crystals to the Shamans, Berserkers Stones to the Berserkers, and Immortals Spirit Stones to the Immortals. They were the most important reason Su Ming had come to Thousand River Valley this time, besides gathering spirit herbs.
Several days later, when Su Ming opened his eyes in his cave abode, his expression was calm. Not a single hint of difference could be seen on his body, and no one knew just what sort of pain he was enduring at that moment.
However, Su Ming knew that he had to get used to this pain and familiarize himself with it!
He stood up slowly, and with one move, he disappeared from the cave abode. When he reappeared, he was already in the depths of the ground. As he moved about, he saw a layer of crystalline light before him.
It was a spirit vein that was only a hundred something feet long. It was curved so that it looked like a spirit vein with the naked eye, but if anyone scanned it with their divine sense, they would find that it looked like a small dragon in the depths of the ground.
'I hope that Hong Luo's Art will succeed.' A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. At that moment, he had completely recovered the cultivation base he had used to suppress the Bright Yang Stone for the past ten days. Once he recovered, he discovered to his pleasant surprise that his cultivation base had increased slightly. It might not be much, but it had allowed his body to recover to nearly nine-tenths of its original state after he was injured all those years ago!
It might have also been nearly nine-tenths of its original state previously, but right now, he was only a sliver away from reaching a perfect nine-tenths!
'If this Art works, then I will be able to completely recover my cultivation base within a short period of time and reach a peak that I have never reached before. Then, I will be able to try reaching Berserker Soul Realm!
'If I can reach Berserker Soul Realm …' A brilliant light shone in Su Ming's eyes. As he narrowed his eyes, that brilliant light gradually faded away, and he took a step towards the crystal vein before him. His body moved through the ground, but his speed had clearly become much slower. This sort of movement was incredibly taxing on his cultivation base. After a moment, when he arrived beside the crystal vein, a glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He lifted his right hand swiftly, and as he formed a seal, he changed it nine times. Ripples spread out from his body and spread outwards.
As it spread out, Su Ming's body slowly became indistinct. This lasted for about a quarter of an hour before he sat down cross-legged on the crystal vein. As his body became indistinct, a strange change gradually appeared.
"To be more precise, this technique of devouring crystal veins comes from the Ten Transformations Technique of the Nine Transformations Ten Transformations Technique! The Nine Transformations can make any divine ability or Art stronger nine times, reaching its peak!
"And the Ten Transformations Technique is a divine ability that allows a person to change. Hong Luo's power of inheritance is related to the Ten Transformations Technique. The item it transforms into can only be changed after the person fuses with it, and once he chooses it, he cannot change it.
"The Ten Transformations Technique allows me to choose ten different items to fuse with … The first thing I fuse with the Ten Transformations Technique is a crystal vein!" Su Ming's eyes sparkled. As he continued sitting down, his body continued becoming indistinct, and slowly, his legs started changing. Crystals appeared on them, and they continued spreading out. After an hour, his entire body looked as if it had completely turned into crystal.
In fact, at first glance, he looked incredibly similar to the crystal vein. Two hours later, Su Ming disappeared, and in his place was a small section of the crystal vein in the ground!
That extra section had the shape of a human, but it looked as if it was one with the crystal vein, and it could not be distinguished clearly. Even if there was someone beside him, they might not be able to find any clues about it at first glance.
This was the Ten Transformations Art. The person would choose the item he wanted to transform into and fuse with it first. Once he succeeded, he would be able to turn into an item that was exactly the same as the person he chose. Not only would their appearance be similar, even their internal structure would be exactly the same!
Just like at that moment, when Su Ming absorbed the first transformation of the Ten Transformations and chose the crystal vein, he successfully turned into a crystal vein during the few hours he spent absorbing the crystal vein. At the same time he became one with the crystal vein, his absorption from the outside also turned into devouring from the inside of the crystal vein.
The crystal vein was a complete entity, and this complete entity contained all the items within it. As time passed by, three days later, the crystal vein started showing signs of withering away. As it continued withering away, it gradually became dull, and at the same time it lost its spiritual power, the human-shaped crystal vein that had appeared became even brighter.
On the fifth day, the human-shaped crystal vein became indistinct once again, and gradually, it turned into Su Ming once again. He no longer looked as weakened as before, but had instead recovered slightly.
His power had also recovered by a large margin!
'This method can be used! ' A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes, and with a single move, he disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already on another crystal vein that was about a hundred something feet away from where he was. Once he touched it, it turned into a crystal vein and turned into a complete entity.
This time, the absorption did not last for five days, but four days, and the crystal vein was reduced to powder.
Time passed, and Su Ming's absorption cycle continued. The crystal veins shattered as he absorbed them, and a month later, the time Su Ming needed to absorb one crystal vein had been reduced to one day from his initial five days!
And it was still shrinking. If he continued at this speed, then before long, the amount of time he needed to absorb the crystal veins in just a few days would be equivalent to the amount he needed to absorb the crystal veins for an entire month.
The reason why Su Ming's absorption rate was becoming faster was because of his familiarity with the crystal veins and his changes!
This one month of absorption allowed Su Ming to see hope. It filled his face with excitement, because his cultivation base had already recovered to nine-tenths of its original state!
Not only did it surpass the small amount he had previously recovered, it had also increased.
He could clearly sense that as he continued devouring the crystal veins, he was constantly becoming stronger. This sort of feeling was addictive, and it also made the power suppressing the Bright Yang Stone in his body become even stronger.
One day, two days, three days … The crystal veins behind Su Ming shattered, and when another half a month passed, he only needed six hours to absorb one crystal vein!
As his absorption speed increased, the one thousand crystal veins under Thousand River Valley were rapidly disappearing. Gradually, the spiritual aura in Thousand River Valley was also slowly decreasing, and this would definitely attract a lot of people's attention.
Yet strangely, no one came to investigate, causing Su Ming to not be able to execute the series of methods he had prepared previously. This made him puzzled as he continued absorbing the crystal veins.
Yet this was a critical moment for him, and it was not convenient for him to go out and investigate. Besides, as he continued absorbing the crystal veins, his connection with Bao Qiu was also faintly discernible, and he could not know what was going on outside.
To him, no matter what happened outside, it was not as important as recovering his cultivation base. Gradually, he no longer bothered himself with it. Two whole months had passed since he started absorbing the crystal veins. Su Ming sat cross-legged on one of the larger crystal veins, and in less than two hours, that crystal vein shattered. When he opened his eyes, a piercing, brilliant light shone briefly in them.
'Ninety-Seven percent of my cultivation base has recovered! I'm only half a step away from great completion! 'Su Ming did not know just how many crystal veins he had absorbed, but he estimated that he should have absorbed nearly a hundred.
At that moment, he needed an hour to absorb the larger crystal veins, but he only needed a quarter of an hour to absorb the smaller ones like the ones he had absorbed in the beginning.
'Based on this speed, I'll be able to completely recover in another month! In fact, if I can increase the speed of my absorption, then perhaps I won't even need a month! ' Su Ming's heart pounded against his chest. He might have long since surpassed the peak he had reached when he fought against Di Tian, but his body had yet to completely recover. There was a slight obstruction in the circulation of his cultivation base, and now that recovery was in sight, Su Ming could not help but feel slightly agitated.
'Di Tian, the injuries I sustained over the years are all thanks to you … 'Killing intent shone in Su Ming's eyes. When he closed them, he appeared beside another crystal vein and began absorbing the crystal veins.
Three days, five days, seven days, ten days!
When another ten days went by, the number of crystal veins Su Ming had absorbed surpassed all the ones he had absorbed previously. Only a small portion of the one thousand crystal veins remained, and most of them had been absorbed by Su Ming.
The speed at which he absorbed the crystal veins was so fast that he only needed one hundred breaths to crush a small crystal vein.
On the tenth day after the two months passed, the crystal vein under Su Ming shattered and he opened his eyes. A mighty pressure so powerful that it could not be described with words erupted from Su Ming's body with a bang.
His cultivation base continued rising, and as he continued recovering, he eventually reached one hundred percent. All the parts of his body that had been obstructed in the circulation of his circulation previously were now as smooth as an ocean, causing his body to become clear, and he reached perfection!
This was true perfection. All of his flesh and blood had turned into that of a Berserker. Every single inch of his bones had turned into Berserker Bones. His blood also had a faint golden hue. His organs, his entire body … Oh my gosh, at this moment, everything was perfect!
He had a strong feeling that there was only one path before him at that moment, and that was to reach the Berserker Soul Realm!
As Su Ming observed his own body, delight appeared on his face, but it soon turned into uncertainty, and eventually, a look of uncertainty appeared on his face.
He could sense that once he successfully reached the Berserker Soul Realm, then there was a high possibility that he would be able to skip the initial stage, middle stage, and later stage of the Berserker Soul Realm and reach great completion in the Berserker Soul Realm!
Because with his foundation, he already possessed the right to do so!
However, it also meant that the process of reaching the Berserker Soul Realm would be incredibly difficult for him. This difficulty might be a hundred times greater than what a normal person would face.
Fortunately, due to the sturdiness of his foundation and the fact that it was unprecedented, even if he failed to reach the Berserker Soul Realm, his body and soul would not be destroyed like the others, but he could not fail more than three times. If he did, he would still die. This was something Su Ming had naturally come to understand once his cultivation base recovered and his body reached perfection.
'Should I go or not..? 'Su Ming did not have a single shred of confidence in his heart. After a moment of hesitation, a resolute look appeared in his eyes.
