Liu Ming scanned with his Divine Sense. After confirming that he couldn't sense any aura of this giant hippopotamus, he waved one hand, and the shadow of the small mountain formed by the Mountain River Pearl collapsed and turned into a yellow bead that flew back.
At this time, the giant hippopotamus's huge body had already withered. It lay motionless at the bottom of the river. It was already dead.
Liu Ming let out a light sigh and put away the few remaining scales on the beast. He also dug out the two green yellow eyes and put them away.
Although this giant beast was very powerful, it was restrained by the Mountain River Pearl that could also control the water of the Styx River.
Its body was so huge, and its body was filled with so much water of the Styx River. How could it not be easily imprisoned by the Mountain River Pearl!
After Liu Ming collected the giant beast materials, he made a gesture. The black gas around his body rolled and wrapped his body in it. The silver wings on his back flapped again, and he turned into a black shadow that flew straight up.
Although the water of the Styx River was extremely heavy, fortunately, he was a Physique Cultivator. His physical strength was not weak. With the support of the silver wings on his back, he could barely resist the huge force and move forward. It was just that his speed was relatively slow.
However, when he was less than a thousand feet away from the bottom of the Styx River, he suddenly felt a huge suction coming from one side.
Immediately afterward, Liu Ming felt that his whole body suddenly lost control. He couldn't hold on for a moment at all. He could only be forcibly pulled in the direction of the suction along with this invisible force.
He was shocked and looked up. As a result, there was a huge black whirlpool not far in front of him.
In the center of the whirlpool, there was a faint buzzing sound.
This invisible suction came from these whirlpools!
The next moment, Liu Ming only felt that his vision went black. His whole body was spinning, and then he lost consciousness.
After an unknown period of time, Liu Ming finally woke up from his drowsiness. He suddenly found himself in another space that was a few acres in size.
There was not a trace of Styx River water in the space, but the floating yin qi was extremely pure.
When he looked around, he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
In all directions, there were dozens of black vortexes of different sizes, encircling the space he was in into a cylindrical space. Streams of almost liquefied pure Yin Qi were escaping from these vortexes.
When he raised his head in bewilderment, there was a giant whirlpool about a thousand feet in the sky above his head. It was spinning slowly.
After Liu Ming withdrew his gaze, he found that the ground of the space he was in was densely engraved with circles of strange spirit patterns, faintly forming a huge formation.
While he was in the space of this formation, not only could he not feel the bone-chilling coldness of the Netherworld River around him, but he was also not affected by the huge suction force of the whirlpool around him.
Judging from the broken rocks on the ground and the faintly discernible terrain nearby, this strange restriction seemed to be in a huge ravine at the bottom of the Nether River. It was very well hidden.
"Could it be another restriction set by someone?" Liu Ming looked around and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
However, he was not an ordinary cultivator after all. After thinking quickly, he regained his calmness. He simply sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and waited.
One day, two days …
Seven days later, after Liu Ming opened his eyes again, he was finally sure that this space was an abandoned place. There was really no one presiding over it, otherwise, they would have appeared long ago.
If this was the case, this place was so hidden that it was an excellent place to cultivate.
After all, whether it was condensing heavy water, sacrificial refining the Mountain River Pearl, or using the Styx River water to cultivate the Dark Bone Method, it was not something that could be completed in three to five years.
After thinking for a while, Liu Ming chuckled.
He immediately stood up with a shake of his sleeves and began to set up the surroundings.
First, he opened up a simple platform at the bottom of the river, then he set up a few layers of restrictions outside the platform …
After half an hour, Liu Ming released the Bone Scorpion and Demon Flying Skull from the soul-recovering bag.
"What a strong Yin Qi …"
As soon as Scorpion and Fei 'er came out of the soul-recovering bag, they felt the piercing and violent Yin Qi around them, and their bodies trembled.
"This is the land of the Styx River. Not only is the Yin Qi thick, but it is also very violent. However, such an environment should be good for you to temper the Fa Li in your body. Maybe you two can find an opportunity to break through. I plan to cultivate here for a long time. You two can cultivate on your own. "Liu Ming said faintly.
Scorpion and Fei 'er nodded and immediately turned around to reveal their original bodies. In a flash, they ran to the side to cultivate on their own.
Only then did Liu Ming sit cross-legged on a platform that he had just conjured. With a flip of his hand, he took out a light black storage ring from his bosom.
This was the item of the giant man in blue robe!
When Liu Ming left the Dark Abyss Valley, he found it on the corpse.
At that time, he only hurriedly scanned it with his Divine Sense and was greatly surprised by the number of items hidden in it.
Unfortunately, these things were unique to the Nine Nether Realm, and most of them were only useful to the Fiend Race. There were very few that Liu Ming could use.
However, if these things were exchanged for Dark Stones, it would be an astronomical number far beyond his imagination.
Liu Ming re-examined some of the things in the ring. After re-sorting the materials inside, he carefully put it away again.
Next, he calmed his mind and adjusted his breathing. Then, he waved his hand and released a black gas. It turned into a large palm that grabbed the restriction above his head.
With a splash, the black gas hand touched the restriction. A black wave of water came over, and the big hand took the opportunity to scoop up a large mass of Styx River water.
A black water light emitted from Liu Ming's hand and wrapped around the Styx River water. He circulated his Fa Li and used the Thousand Condensation Water Art to continue refining Heavy Water.
More than ten days later, the Styx River water wrapped in the black gas had turned into a bean-sized, pitch-black Heavy Water Bead.
After putting it into the jade box, Liu Ming let out a long breath. His face looked a little blue and black.
At the bottom of the Styx River, the Yin Qi was extremely dense, and the bone-piercing cold air constantly attacked his body.
It was fine for a short time, but after a long time, even Liu Ming felt that it was unbearable.
It had only been more than ten days, but his body was already a little numb.
However, he had already expected this situation, so he did not panic.
The Bone Scorpion and the Demon Flying Skull were curled up not far away. Black gas rose from their bodies and wrapped around them. They had already entered a state of cultivation and did not seem to be affected by the surrounding Yin Qi at all.
Seeing this, Liu Ming stretched his stiff body and then sat down cross-legged. He flipped his hand and took out a black book.
This was the first ten levels of the Dark Bone Method that the Puppet Emperor had given him. After all these years, he had already thoroughly comprehended the incantation.
He immediately followed the incantation of the fifth level of the Dark Bone Method and mobilized the Fa Li in his Spirit Sea and circulated it in his meridians.
The Yin Qi and the cold air of the Styx River that invaded Liu Ming's body were like rivers flowing into the sea, flowing into his bones and meridians.
Time passed bit by bit. After an hour, Liu Ming slowly opened his eyes. The color on his face had already returned to normal.
The fifth level of the Dark Bone Method could only be cultivated with the help of the Styx River's water. He was now at the bottom of the Styx River, and the water of the Styx River was readily available.
Liu Ming originally planned to condense the Heavy Water and refine the twelve Mountain River Pearls before cultivating the Dark Bone Method. After all, this was the bottom of the Styx River. No one could predict when danger would come, so increasing his strength was the most important thing.
However, it seemed that the cultivation of the Dark Bone Method had to be put on the agenda. Otherwise, he would not be able to stay here for a long time.
Although this would slow down the speed of condensing the Heavy Water, there was nothing he could do about it.
In the following time, Liu Ming used the ability to multitask. Half of his mental energy revolved the Thousand Condensation Water Transformation Technique and continuously refined the Heavy Water. The other half of his mental energy cultivated the Dark Bone Method.
Time flew by, and the bottom of the Styx River was as quiet as before. No one had disturbed him.
In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.
On this day, the restriction of the Styx River was filled with a yellow mist. Within the mist, there was also a lot of black water light.
The two mixed together and rolled like the waves of the sea, filling the entire restriction.
Within the yellow mist and black light, a low and cryptic incantation could be faintly heard. Waves of powerful Fa Li were constantly transmitted, and the black restriction also began to fluctuate.
On this day, within the yellow mist, there was a long whistle that soared into the sky. All of the mist and water light rushed towards one direction like a whale sucking in water. Very quickly, they disappeared without a trace.
After the mist dissipated, a figure in a green robe was sitting cross-legged on the ground. Around him, there were twelve earthen yellow pearls floating in the air. They faintly formed a strange array that slowly rotated.
This figure in a green robe was naturally Liu Ming.
In these ten years, he had been continuously refining day and night. Finally, he had refined enough heavy water. Not only had he refined the semi-finished mountain river pearl, but he had also sacrificially refined the remaining eleven mountain river pearls into real magic weapons.
There was a faint earthen yellow mist on the surface of the twelve mountain river pearls. Through the mist, one could faintly see that there was a lifelike landscape of mountains and rivers in each pearl. The mountains were towering, and the rivers flowed endlessly. It was full of spirituality.
If one looked closely, one would find that the river in the original semi-finished mountain river pearl was not as thick and viscous as the other eleven pearls. This was probably because it was not all the water of the Styx River.
However, he currently did not have the ability to separate the ordinary heavy water that had already been integrated into it.
Liu Ming made a sign with both hands and opened his mouth to spit out a yellow light. The twelve mountain river pearls flashed and turned into a yellow light. The light then swept the pearls into his body.
Not far behind Liu Ming, Fei Er and Scorpion hurriedly said respectfully, "Congratulations Master, you have finally refined the mountain river pearl magic weapon!"
The two of them had been constantly cultivating for the past ten years and their Fa Li had improved a lot.
The golden crown mark on Scorpion's forehead was even brighter, like a golden flame. Fei Er's body also looked a bit bigger than before.
