"If I can break through to the mid Nascent Soul stage, I won't have to be as fearful of Great Cultivators as before." Lu Xiaotian's eyes flashed and he looked around. There were no signs of other stone demons. After circling around the low and undulating mountain ridge for a period of time, Lu Xiaotian had already grasped some of the patterns of the Yellow Cushion Corals. He knew how to avoid conflict with the Yellow Hibernating Corals. And in this patch of Yellow Hibernating Corals, there were very few stone demons that would come under normal circumstances.
Lu Xiaotian naturally wouldn't let go of a rare opportunity to break through. After looking around, Lu Xiaotian locked onto a Stone Otter Demon's cave in an area with relatively fewer Yellow Hibernating Corals. The Stone Otter Demon was an extremely peculiar demon in the Stone Demon Cave. It moved extremely slowly and its attack power wasn't strong. Its body was as large as a bear and an adult Stone Otter Demon could reach a height of forty to fifty feet. The Stone Otter Demon's body was made of hard rock and its intelligence was extremely low. In the Stone Demon Cave, there were clearly demons that had designs on the Stone Otter Demon.
The cave was quite large and occasionally there would be stone demons that would take refuge in it. However, the strength of the demons that usually seized the Stone Otter Demon's cave wasn't very high. It was a relatively safe place.
Lu Xiaotian's figure flashed and he avoided the trap set by the Yellow Hibernating Corals and entered the Stone Otter Demon's cave.
There were only two adult Stone Otter Demons that were over fifty feet tall in the cave. The cave extended underground and the space inside was even larger. To Lu Xiaotian, it was quite spacious.
Even an adult Stone Otter Demon's strength was only at the early Jin Dan stage. If they really fought against a Jin Dan cultivator, they would most likely be killed. Lu Xiaotian had the intention to avoid them. In addition, there were many Stone Mulberry Trees of different heights growing in the cave. The Stone Mulberry Trees were about half a staff tall and their crowns were about ten feet square. With Lu Xiaotian's intention to avoid them, the two Stone Otter Demons' strength and relatively slow reactions naturally couldn't discover Lu Xiaotian's tracks.
Lu Xiaotian passed by the two Stone Otter Demons and continued deeper into the cave. The space inside was several times larger than the entrance of the lair. A gust of demonic wind suddenly rose. Lu Xiaotian focused his eyes and saw a severely injured demonic stone rat pouncing on him. The Demonic Stone Rat was less than three feet long, but it was extremely fast.
Lu Xiaotian's mouth twitched. He didn't think that there would be other demons who had the same idea as him. Birds of a feather flock together, and so do demons.
Normally, it would take some effort to get rid of a tenth-grade Stone Demon Rat. After all, the defense of the Stone Demons here was much stronger than the demons outside. However, the Rank 10 Demonic Stone Rat was severely injured. It was not difficult to deal with the Demonic Stone Rat while it was recuperating.
Although the space inside the Stone Otter Cave was much larger than the outside, it was only about two hundred feet in radius. In this kind of space, it didn't make much of a difference to Lu Xiaotian whether he used his teleportation technique or not.
Just as the Demonic Stone Rat leaped up, a few streaks of sword Qi slashed at it.
The Demonic Stone Rat was in pain and was about to scream, but Lu Xiaotian had already disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already behind the Demonic Stone Rat. The Demonic Stone Rat's eyes changed from hatred to shock and disbelief. Its body was cut into two halves and fell to the ground.
Lu Xiaotian reached out and grabbed the Demonic Stone Rat's relatively weak Demonic Nascent Soul.
Looking at the abnormally weak Demonic Nascent Soul, Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a little strange. With the Demonic Stone Rat's strength, the Demonic Nascent Soul shouldn't be so weak. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to burst out with such powerful attack power and speed.
Lu Xiaotian looked at the corpse of the Demonic Stone Rat on the ground again. Apart from a few drops of brownish-red blood flowing out of the corpse, the body was turning into ordinary stone at a speed visible to the naked eye. There wasn't much value to it.
"Could it be that this Demonic Nascent Soul is the same as the Demonic Stone Rat's body and will also wither with the passage of time?" Lu Xiaotian looked at the Demonic Stone Rat's Demonic Nascent Soul that was starting to weaken in his palm and such a thought popped up in his mind.
"This Demonic Stone Cave is really a strange place. It's hard to predict with common sense. " Lu Xiaotian shook his head slightly. With a squeak from his palm, the Demonic Stone Rat's Demonic Nascent Soul turned into a thin cloud of smoke and disappeared.
Ignoring the Demonic Stone Rat's corpse that had turned into ordinary stone, Lu Xiaotian set up a few layers of restrictions to prevent the Demonic Stone Rat from rashly breaking in. In addition, these restrictions could also serve as a warning. It wouldn't be like the Demonic Stone Rat that was blocked and only discovered him when he was right in front of it.
After doing all these, Lu Xiaotian sat down cross-legged and held his chin. He thought that Xiang Qingcheng shouldn't have any accidents. Although Xiang Qingcheng was injured, he still had his strength. Now that he was recuperating in seclusion, his hiding place was also very hidden. Xiang Qingcheng himself was proficient in formations and set up a set of Three Elements Ice Palace Formation in his hiding place. Combined with his own strength, ordinary Demonic Stone Rats might not be able to find Xiang Qingcheng. Even if they accidentally found Xiang Qingcheng, they might not be able to do anything to Xiang Qingcheng. He didn't want to think so much. It wasn't easy to feel the signs of breaking through the shackles. How could he so easily stop? Maybe after he broke through and returned, Xiang Qingcheng's injuries would be more or less healed.
Throwing these distracting thoughts to the back of his mind, Lu Xiaotian sat down cross-legged and faced the sky, concealing his spirit and qi.
Not long after, his entire body entered an unprecedented state of emptiness. Within his dantian, the Demonic Nascent Soul that was exactly the same as Lu Xiaotian's body maintained the same posture as his physical body.
Mana flowed around the Demonic Nascent Soul like a trickle. Seven Demon Subduing Towers, Dharma Pearl, Soul Battle Elemental Pearl, Eight Ethereal Flying Swords, Ruyi Armor. The droplet-shaped Elemental Dissolving Blood Pearl. These treasures had accompanied Lu Xiaotian throughout his journey in the Immortal Cultivation World. Each of them emitted their own spiritual light, complementing the flow of mana.
As usual, Lu Xiaotian's main and auxiliary Primordial Spirits drove at the same time. Mana flowed in an orderly manner through his meridians. Between his flesh and blood, the Blood Energy condensed from his Qi and blood nourished Lu Xiaotian's limbs and bones at the same time.
Regardless of whether it was a human or a demon, in the face of unprecedented pressure, they might erupt with a certain amount of potential. It was even possible for them to break through their original realm and increase their strength greatly. But this kind of situation was rare. Unless they were already at the peak of their current realm. It was only possible for them to break through under extraordinary pressure. In Immortal Cultivation, the improvement of one's realm was not something that could be done overnight. For example, when Lu Xiaotian had just passed the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation, even if the pressure was so great that it crushed him into a meat patty, it was impossible for him to break through to the Intermediate Nascent Soul Stage under the stimulation of pressure.
