At the seventh rank of the Martial Path, the Martial Spirit would be able to transform Yuan Qi and be as agile as a human. They were called human souls.
The seventh rank focused more on inspiration. Once inspiration struck, one would cross the threshold and enter the room. Only then would one comprehend the wonders of the Vitality Martial Spirit.
At the eighth rank of the Martial Path, the Martial Spirit would be further condensed, and the Yuan Qi would be thick and dense, able to bear all changes. It was called the Earth Soul.
The eighth rank was about settling down and accumulating, constantly tempering and cultivating. After mastering it thoroughly, it would lay a solid foundation for breaking through to the Ninth Level.
Therefore, although the gap between the seventh and eighth ranks was large, there was no intrinsic difference. Only by reaching the ninth level and comprehending the fundamental principles of vital energy could one truly transcend the mortal realm and achieve a leap in the level of life.
Gao Zhengyang's progress in the cultivation of vitality was extremely slow. It wasn't that he didn't work hard, but that his titanium alloy body limited his ability to sense vitality.
Therefore, most of his Yuan Qi breakthroughs relied on external forces.
If he were to rely on his own cultivation, he would need at least thirty to fifty years to open up all of his acupoints, polish his vital qi to the point where it was flawless and complete the accumulation of the eighth level.
The essence of vitality returned by the tenth level demon dragon was too dense. He had comprehended the transformation of the divine dragon's size at will, so he took advantage of the situation to continuously clear his acupoints and rushed to the eighth level.
The harvest this time had saved Gao Zhengyang a few decades of time.
However, in terms of actual combat strength, there was no obvious increase. This was because Gao Zhengyang was too strong previously, and he could use the Blood God Flag to raise his Essence Energy to the eighth rank.
In terms of effects, the Blood God Flag, which could communicate with his Essence Energy sea, was actually stronger than his Tier 8 Essence Energy cultivation.
The true benefit was comprehending the Demon Dragon's Divine Will Transformation and raising the level of the Dragon Emperor Nine Transformations, allowing the Vajra Dragon Emperor martial soul to achieve a balance. His Yuan Qi level had also reached a balance with his physical strength. It also laid a solid foundation for him to enter the Ninth Tier.
Another huge gain was the Demon Dragon's powerful Dragon Soul.
A Tenth Rank Demonic Dragon was a sacred dragon soul. It was a great supplement for the Blood God Flag.
The Blood God Flag was an ancient Divine Artifact, so it was very difficult to categorize it into ranks. Its ability to absorb blood essence and divine soul was even better than the Dragon Emperor's Halberd. It was just that the amount of Blood Essence and Divine Soul it absorbed was too little, so it was unable to unleash its full power.
A tenth level saint soul was originally difficult to be destroyed by external forces. However, the Demon Dragon's Dragon Soul had been corrupted by demonization. It had turned black and turbid, losing its intelligence. Although it still had its strength, it did not have the might of a Saint Soul.
The Blood God Flag Formation was like a meat grinder, constantly being broken down and whittled away at the dragon soul. The shattered dragon souls were filtered by the spell formations and reduced to pure Origin Qi essence for the Blood God Flag to absorb.
In the depths of the Blood God Flag's core formation, the Magnetic Flying Star was constantly releasing Divine Magnetic Light. As the dragon soul essence continued to pour into the Blood God Flag, the Magnetic Flying Star also began to radiate boundless divine light, and the spell formation in the depths of the Blood God Flag was activated.
Gao Zhengyang's martial soul was connected to the Blood God Flag. He was shocked at first, but then he was overjoyed.
After absorbing the powerful dragon soul, the Blood God Flag opened up a deeper layer of the spell formation, and even more profound changes took place.
The first change was that the level of the Essence Qi he controlled had risen to the ninth level. This meant that the Blood God Flag was equivalent to a Type 9 powerhouse and could provide Gao Zhengyang with sufficient energy at any time.
Just this alone was enough for the Blood God Flag to stand above all other rank nine divine artifacts.
The second change was that the Blood God Flag could absorb even more energy. This included flesh, metal, stone, and so on. It could absorb the essence of Essence Qi from them.
This change was very strange, but it was also very practical.
With a thought, Gao Zhengyang unfurled the long Blood God Flag behind him and put away the Demon Dragon's corpse floating in the lava lake.
The Demon Dragon's flesh, bones, and tendons all contained Essence Qi and could be used to forge all kinds of magic tools.
However, Ao Tu had already been corrupted. Its flesh, bones, scales, and skin had long been soaked by the power of the demon. Even if it was forged into a magic tool, it would still be a magic tool of the demonic path. The power of the demon would continuously infect the user and cause a great disaster.
Gao Zhengyang was originally a little worried about what to do with the Demon Dragon's corpse. The Blood God Flag's ability to devour flesh and blood saved him a lot of trouble.
The Demon Dragon's corpse suddenly disappeared, causing Colorless to be extremely disappointed. The scales on a dragon's body were all treasures. He had originally wanted to obtain some benefits from the Demon Dragon's corpse. However, looking at Gao Zhengyang's expression, he didn't even want to leave him any leftovers.
As if sensing Colorless's dissatisfaction, Gao Zhengyang tilted his head and glanced at him. Clear without any emotion in his eyes, let the selfless suddenly shocked.
Such a powerful Demon Dragon had been killed with a single strike. Gao Zhengyang's domineering aura seemed to be able to pierce through heaven and earth with his halberd.
The halberd, the golden armor, and the blood-red cloak — Gao Zhengyang's attack seemed to have been imprinted in Colorless's heart by some strange power. He was sure that he would never forget this scene for the rest of his life.
To be honest, Colorless was really afraid. It wasn't because Gao Zhengyang had something on him. Rather, he had realized that it wouldn't be difficult for Gao Zhengyang to kill him.
No matter what secret technique he used, it would be useless against that earth-shattering attack.
Colorless suddenly became worried. What if Gao Zhengyang turned on him?! Thinking of this, he felt even more afraid. He no longer had the mood to think about the Demon Dragon's corpse.
"Old man, you did well this time."
Gao Zhengyang had gained a lot and was in a good mood. He put down his armor and praised Colorless with a smile.
Colorless secretly heaved a sigh of relief. A smile appeared on his round face that was as white as a full moon.
Gao Zhengyang's praise was also a kind of recognition. At least, it meant that he didn't have any intention of turning on him.
"Oh right, are you good at painting?"
Colorless was a little confused. He didn't know why Gao Zhengyang suddenly asked this. After thinking for a while, he said, "I know a little."
He had lived for more than two hundred years. He couldn't avoid learning the four arts to cultivate his mind and state of mind. The most important thing in learning incantations was to visualize the true body. This was to use his divine sense as a brush to paint. This was similar to painting with a brush in terms of artistic conception.
Therefore, Colorless's painting skills were extremely outstanding. He could be called a master painter. Saying that he knew a little was also a humble excuse.
In front of Gao Zhengyang, Colorless was used to putting on a very low attitude.
"Very good, very good." Gao Zhengyang beamed with joy. "Remember to draw my heroic dragon-slaying posture when you go back. This kind of cool and awesome thing must be shared with others. "
Colorless was stunned. The deep and cold Gao Zhengyang would actually say such superficial things. He really didn't expect this.
The bigger problem was that if the news of Gao Zhengyang slaying a dragon spread, the Dragon Subduing Lower Courtyard's matter would also be exposed. The situation was very bad.
Colorless suddenly thought that Gao Zhengyang was purposely making things difficult for him. He hurriedly advised, "Although Ao Tu has been demonized, he is still a true dragon. The dragon race has always been arrogant. If they know about this, it will be very bad for you. "
In fact, there were no traces of the dragon race in this world. Colorless was afraid that Gao Zhengyang would really do this, so he deliberately exaggerated the danger.
Gao Zhengyang naturally knew what Colorless was thinking. However, there were really many dragons in this world. In the short span of two years, he had encountered three giant dragons. This matter really couldn't be ignored.
"Go back and draw it first. Take it out when the time is right. "
"Yes, yes …" Colorless hurriedly replied.
"En, this is for you. Send all the girls back and do it quickly." Gao Zhengyang raised his hand and threw the living bag to Colorless.
Gao Zhengyang had just checked, and there were indeed thousands of girls in the living bag. These girls were all in a state of coma, but their bodies were fine.
The thousand girls came from different places and different families. To send them back safely, settle them down, and deal with all kinds of trivial matters. This wasn't something that one person could do well.
Only a large force like the True Word Sect, with a sufficient reputation among the people, could handle this matter properly and not leave behind any future troubles.
This was a hard task, but Colorless couldn't wait to do it. Using this opportunity to deal with the matter of kidnapping the girls, the True Word Sect would not only be able to solve this future trouble, but also gain a great reputation.
Colorless almost immediately thought that this matter needed a force to take the blame. Obviously, the leader of the Jiujiang Gang, Jiang Zhenggong, who was in cahoots with Yuan Tong, was the best candidate. Then, he would clean up the Dragon Subduing Courtyard that was involved in this matter.
In the future, he would no longer need to be afraid of Gao Zhengyang's threat.
Colorless, who had lived for more than two hundred years, was also a cunning old fox. He almost instantly thought of a way to solve all the problems with one stone.
"Master, don't worry, this old monk will definitely do it well." Colorless promised loudly.
Gao Zhengyang could also guess what Colorless was thinking. Colorless was definitely not a good person, but he was smart and had enough ability. He believed that he could do this matter well.
"Very well, you go and do your work first. I'll go down and take a look. "Gao Zhengyang waved his hand and sent Colorless away.
Colorless also didn't want to stay any longer. After putting his palms together and bowing, he turned around and left without any reluctance.
Gao Zhengyang smiled. This Colorless was really sensible. He clearly knew that there was a divine tool to lock the Demon Dragon under the magma lake, but he could still suppress his greed and leave so easily.
The one below should be the Soil Fixation Needle, which Gao Zhengyang was determined to get.
The Azure Dragon had said that once the nine divine needles that suppressed the origin of vitality were collected, they would be able to fuse into a true divine tool. Gao Zhengyang was very concerned about this.
The Dragon Emperor Halberd made of two divine needles was already so domineering. Killing a rank ten Demon Dragon was like killing a chicken. If the nine divine needles were to fuse into the Dragon Emperor Halberd, how powerful would it be!
Gao Zhengyang thought that there was a Soil Fixation Needle below, and his heart felt hot again.
Putting down the armor and putting away the Blood God Flag, Gao Zhengyang dived straight into the magma lake.
The hot dark red magma posed no threat to the Dragon Emperor Armor. Gao Zhengyang couldn't even feel a trace of heat inside.
This kind of harsh natural environment was a forbidden zone for most ordinary lifeforms. But for a rank nine powerhouse, it was no different from a hot spring.
After diving more than three thousand feet into the magma lake, Gao Zhengyang easily found the Soil Fixation Needle.
On a huge earthen yellow crystal, a black iron rod was stuck straight on it.
Just as Gao Zhengyang had judged earlier, the earth element energy here was condensed into a substance. That huge earthen yellow crystal was, in fact, an extremely large Earth Elemental Essence Crystal. Its quality was even above rank nine. That iron rod was undoubtedly the Soil Fixation Needle.
The Soil Fixation Needle was almost exactly the same as the Water Fixation Needle and Wind Fixation Needle. It was black and looked like an iron rod.
After the Demon Dragon was killed, the restriction on the Soil Fixation Needle naturally lost its effect. So the Demon Dragon's body was easily kept in the Blood God Flag, leaving only the Soil Fixation Needle.
Earth element energy was the thickest and most stable, and when the energy was condensed to the extreme, it would naturally condense into a crystal. It was also because of this energy characteristic that the rank ten Demon Dragon was firmly locked and unable to break free. That was why it was willing to demonize.
Gao Zhengyang was just about to reach for the Soil Fixation Needle, but he put his hand down right after he raised it. He suddenly thought of a problem.
Ao Tu was a Sage, and his spirit was pure and flawless, without any impurities. Even if he wanted to demonize, a few blood sacrifices would not be able to demonize and contaminate him.
The huge earthen yellow crystal and rich earth element energy covered the surrounding area, pushing the hot and sticky magma outside, forming a pure space of earth element energy.
From the outside, there seemed to be no problem.
Gao Zhengyang looked around from the outside and did not find any problems. Without hesitation, he walked in.
Holding the Soil Fixation Needle, Gao Zhengyang slowly exerted force, pulling the Soil Fixation Needle out inch by inch.
The first time he pulled out the Sea Fixation Needle, Gao Zhengyang used all his strength. It was only after Ao Zhen gave him two drops of True Dragon Heart Blood that he managed to pull out the Sea Fixation Needle.
When he pulled out the Wind Fixation Needle, Gao Zhengyang was much more at ease. At this point, pulling out the Soil Fixation Needle was as easy as flipping his hand.
After the ten-foot-long Soil Fixation Needle was completely pulled out, the huge earthen yellow crystal began to shake violently.
Gao Zhengyang knew that the earth element energy suppressed below was about to surge up. This huge Yuan Qi Crystal would most likely be shattered by the surging Yuan Qi.
This energy crystal was condensed from the essence of energy, and its quality far surpassed that of a ninth-grade energy stone. Its value was immeasurable.
Gao Zhengyang naturally would not waste it. With a thought, he put the huge energy crystal into the Ten Directions Heart Buddha Realm. Including the Soil Fixation Needle, he put it in as well.
Although the Heart Buddha Realm had collapsed many times, with the support of the Ten Directions Clothes, there was a huge space of reality inside. If Gao Zhengyang wanted to, he could even stuff the Demon Dragon's corpse inside.
Such a huge space of reality made it easy to put the energy crystal and the Soil Fixation Needle.
As soon as the Vitality Crystal disappeared, yellow sand-like Earth Elemental Vitality surged out violently.
In the dark red magma lake, it was like a sandstorm. Wherever the yellow sand passed, the magma quickly solidified into a dark yellow crystal.
The pure essence of the earth element energy would instinctively assimilate everything it came into contact with.
Although Gao Zhengyang had the Dragon Emperor Armor to protect his body, he still felt a little uncomfortable. The pure and thick essence of the earth element energy made him feel like he was buried in the sand. The absorbed energy was like sand particles, which were difficult to digest.
However, the heavy nature of the essence of the earth element energy made the eruption of the energy relatively smooth. After the initial wave of energy, 99% of the earth element energy was absorbed by the endless void. It would not have an impact on the Dragon Subduing Lower Courtyard above.
Gao Zhengyang looked around and was about to leave when he suddenly sensed that there was something wrong with the aura in the distance.
In the pure and thick essence of the earth element energy, there was a subtle abnormal aura, like a red kite flying in a sandstorm, small but so different.
