When Long Yu heard Yu Shuiyun's words, he immediately reacted.
Every demonic beast would have an inner core, and this inner core was the same as a Martial Cultivator's dantian. It was a place where they stored the energy they cultivated.
However, the nature of demonic beast cultivation was different from that of Martial Cultivators.
Martial Cultivators transformed the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into Xuan Qi and stored it in their dantian and meridians. Other Martial Cultivators were unable to absorb the Xuan Qi from Martial Cultivators because they would reject it.
However, the energy cultivated by demonic beasts was known as "Demonic Qi". Demonic Qi could be absorbed by Martial Cultivators!
Therefore, Martial Cultivators usually did not differentiate between Demonic Qi and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. As long as they obtained the inner core of a demonic beast, they could absorb the Demonic Qi within to raise their martial realm.
Of course, as the demonic beast died, the Demonic Qi within its inner core would gradually dissipate. The longer it died, the more Demonic Qi would dissipate.
In this way, the only way to absorb more Demonic Qi was to take out the inner core of a demonic beast when it was just killed.
When Long Yu heard Yu Shuiyun's words, he immediately endured the churning of his internal organs and walked to the collapsed mutated Ouroboros.
This huge black creature's body had been pierced through by Long Yu's spear, almost splitting it into two. From this, one could see how terrifying the Nine Nether Dragon Spear's spiritual martial technique, the Reverse Scale Touch was!
"The inner core is at its abdomen. Luckily, it was nearly destroyed by the spear …"
Long Yu rejoiced in his heart as he hurriedly extended his hand into the broken part of the mutated Ouroboros.
Not long after, a warm mutated Ouroboros inner core was taken out by Long Yu. It was emitting a strange energy. Other than Demonic Qi, it actually contained Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi that had not been absorbed!
"This mutated Ouroboros must have eaten a strange grass to be able to condense its True Spirit."
Yu Shuiyun's words came from behind Long Yu as her footsteps gradually approached, "The strange grass's Spiritual Qi has not been completely absorbed by it. Now, you're lucky. With the True Spirit Realm's mutated Ouroboros inner core and the strange grass's Spiritual Qi, you should be able to smoothly advance! "
"Elder Yu, do you know what the true spirit of that snake is?"
Long Yu pondered for a moment before asking.
"I don't know either. I've never seen such a strange herb before. But you don't have to worry. Since the herb has already been swallowed by the Mutant Ouroboros, it shouldn't cause any harm to you."
Yu Shuiyun said.
"Yes."
Long Yu nodded and did not say anything else to Yu Shuiyun. He held the inner core and ran to a nearby thicket. He found a secluded and safe spot and sat down cross-legged.
He crushed the Inner Core with his teeth, then circulated the profound energy in his body and sucked all the Demonic Qi and Spiritual Qi contained in the Inner Core into his mouth.
At the same time, the Nine Nether Dragon Seal was activated and began to store the demonic energy and spiritual energy that he could not directly absorb. In addition to the high-grade pills stored in the Nine Nether Dragon Seal, it was just right for him to break through to the ninth level of the Martial Dao!
"Strange, why do I still feel the power of the grass …"
Long Yu frowned as he absorbed the demonic energy and spiritual energy.
He felt that the strange power of the Mutant Ouroboros's True Spirit seemed to be transmitted from the inner core into his body!
That strange power gave people the feeling that it was like a swamp. Once released, it would make people feel as if they had fallen into a swamp. Even moving would feel difficult.
This was similar to the effect of the Law of Suppression, but it was different. If he could use it, it might be able to play a unique role in special situations.
"Let's ignore him for now. Right now, the most important thing is to step into the ninth level of the Martial Dao!"
Long Yu put down his thoughts and began to circulate the profound energy in his body, preparing to break through the next checkpoint of the Heavenly Meridian.
The Heavenly Meridian of the human body was connected to heaven and earth. It was an important existence that allowed one to feel the laws of heaven and earth. There were a total of four checkpoints in the Heavenly Meridian.
When one broke through the first checkpoint of the Heavenly Meridian, they could step into the seventh level of the Martial Dao. They could release their profound energy and initially sense the existence of the laws of heaven and earth.
As a martial cultivator broke through more checkpoints of the Heavenly Meridian, the connection with the laws of heaven and earth would become stronger and stronger.
The seventh level of the Martial Dao allowed the Heavenly Meridian to have a point of connection with heaven and earth. The eighth level of the Martial Dao allowed the Heavenly Meridian to have a line of connection with heaven and earth.
If one broke through the third checkpoint and stepped into the ninth level of the Martial Dao, they would be able to connect the Heavenly Meridian with heaven and earth. At that point, they would be at the peak of the Martial Dao, the ninth level!
As long as they broke through the last checkpoint of the Heavenly Meridian, they would be able to connect the Heavenly Meridian with heaven and earth. By then, they would be able to condense a True Spirit and borrow more of the laws of heaven and earth to reach the True Spirit Realm!
Long Yu began to absorb the inner core to cultivate while Yu Shuiyun stood guard by the side and rested.
Although the poisoned elder had just woken up, he immediately realized the situation he was in. It was clear that he was experienced in fighting!
At that moment, he was wearing a black robe and resting with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, he felt some movement not far away, causing him to open his eyes.
"So it's two old acquaintances!"
Yu Shuiyun's eyes flickered, but she didn't act rashly.
Although she didn't know the reason, when the inner core was in Long Yu's hands, not even a trace of Demonic Qi or Spiritual Qi was emitted.
At that moment, hiding in the thicket was extremely hidden and it was almost impossible to attract the attention of others.
As for Yu Shuiyun himself, all his meridians and dantian were poisoned and his Profound Qi was sealed, so it was even more impossible for others to notice him!
At that moment, the two of them were a distance away from the water. The corpse of the mutated Coiled Serpent was lying by the water's edge, not taken care of.
Not long after, two figures with powerful auras descended beside the corpse of the mutated Coiled Serpent at the same time.
One of them had a dark face, a sturdy and short figure, like a black charcoal. It was Elder Wu Jianxin of the Zhentian Clan!
The other person was wearing a black robe and hat. From his appearance, it could be seen that he was quite tall, but it was impossible to tell who he was.
However, Yu Shuiyun could clearly tell his identity from his aura!
"Wu Jianxin is actually colluding with Wu Li!"
Yu Shuiyun sensed the aura of the two and quietly observed from the side, secretly starting to use her methods …
"Brother Wu, how is it going? Have you found any traces of Old Yu?"
"We haven't found them yet, but they have nowhere to run. Right now, the entire Zhentian Clan is looking for them."
"That's good. In the depths of the Soaring Serpent Abyss, the Three Scented Herbs have almost all been collected by our Broken Blade Sect. According to the time, Old Yu definitely won't be able to see the sun on the seventh day!"
"However, this giant Coiled Serpent in front of us …"
Wu Jianxin seemed to be a little puzzled as he looked at the corpse of the giant Coiled Serpent.
"This Coiled Serpent seems to have been killed by a sharp weapon. This means that our Broken Blade Sect has a True Spirit Realm disciple in the Soaring Serpent Abyss. He has already collected the Sweet Currant Flower and is on his way back. This Coiled Serpent should be killed by him. "
The black-robed Elder Wu Li of the Broken Blade Sect said in a relaxed manner, "Alright, I won't be leaving for the next few days. I want to personally witness Old Yu's death, hahaha …"
Of course, the two of them didn't think that Long Yu and Yu Shuiyun, who was poisoned and couldn't use her cultivation, could kill this giant Coiled Serpent!
Therefore, they didn't even have a trace of doubt in their minds.
After talking for a while, the two of them left, allowing Yu Shuiyun to let out a sigh of relief.
"Luckily, Long Yu's martial realm is too low, so no one would suspect him. Otherwise, if they found him, he really wouldn't be able to escape. But now …"
Yu Shuiyun's eyes flashed.
He clenched his right hand, and within it, there was a True Spiritual Imprint that recorded the conversation between Wu Jianxin and Wu Li.
As long as he returned to the sect, Wu Jianxin's shady business would be exposed!
The True Spiritual Imprint was a small technique that Martial Cultivators in the True Spirit Realm could use. It used the power of the True Spirit to capture the scene in front of them and imprint it, including images, sounds, etc.
At that time, as long as he crushed the True Spiritual Imprint, he would be able to reproduce the scene for everyone to see!
Just now, the conversation between Wu Jianxin and Wu Li had been imprinted by Yu Shuiyun.
At this time, Long Yu had reached a crucial moment in absorbing the Coiled Serpent's inner core.
"Vein of the Heavens, the third checkpoint, break!"
The Nine Underworld Dragon Seal contained a dense amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, which was like a raging wave, crashed against the third checkpoint of the Vein of the Heavens, finally causing it to shake.
Once!
Twice!
Thrice!
The dense amount of Spiritual Qi and Demonic Qi continued to crash against each other, turning into Profound Qi and becoming a part of Long Yu's strength.
"Break!"
Finally, Long Yu let out a roar in his heart, and the blockage in the Vein of the Heavens was finally broken!
As the third checkpoint of the Vein of the Heavens was broken, he instantly felt his connection with Heaven and Earth strengthen once again, to the point that there was only one last barrier left.
If he broke through this barrier, he would be able to condense a True Spirit and step into the True Spirit Realm. However, the amount of Spiritual Qi stored in the Nine Underworld Dragon Seal was not enough.
The total amount of Spiritual Qi needed to condense a True Spirit was even more than the total amount of Spiritual Qi needed to advance from the first stage to the ninth stage of the Martial Dao. Furthermore, other than Spiritual Qi, talent and perception were more important.
If one's talent and perception were insufficient, then even if they spent their entire lives, they would not be able to condense a True Spirit. For example, the Tan family's ancestor who had died under Long Yu's fist.
"I've finally reached the ninth stage of the Martial Dao. The Coiled Serpent's inner core and the remaining Spiritual Qi of the grass are indeed extraordinary. Added together, it is equivalent to the effect of ten high-grade medicinal pills!"
As Long Yu opened his eyes, a look of confidence could be seen in his eyes.
As he stepped into the ninth stage of the Martial Dao, his basic strength had increased to the strength of nearly three hundred horses.
If he used Spear Shadows or Reverse Scale Touch, he would be able to release the strength of more than two thousand horses with a single spear strike!
If he didn't have the confidence to challenge an expert in the first stage of the True Spirit Realm before, then he finally had a certain level of confidence.
