Both of them had their own thoughts, and they were connected to each other.
After bidding farewell to the Village Chief and Villager with much difficulty, Du Guangchi and Yao Lian did not return the way they came. Instead, they headed deeper into the forest in a different direction.
As Du Guangchi walked, he took out a triangular blue metallic plate. He occasionally looked at the faint light on it.
"According to the aura of the stolen item, it should be here."
Yao Lian nodded. "Although the Thousand-li Light Chasing Disc that Master gave me can't track everything within a thousand miles, it can still track something within a hundred miles. This island isn't big. It shouldn't be a problem to track the target. "
"However, we must be careful of heretic cultivators on this island. It's said that there are many heretic cultivators and Devil Path cultivators from the central plains in the overseas cultivation world. Our Vital Energy Sect is a large sect, and we've made many enemies. It'll be troublesome if we run into our old enemies," Du Guangchi said with a straight face.
"Yes," Yao Lian agreed.
The two of them took out two light gray cloaks from their bundles and put them on. They covered most of their bodies, including their faces.
Then, they walked along the forest toward the center of the island.
The island was lush and green. Coconut trees and red maple trees with triangular leaves were everywhere. Green, red, and yellow leaves were mixed together. Everywhere they looked was beautiful and enchanting.
There was an inverted L-shaped cliff. The two of them were like ants as they walked along the side of the cliff. They used their short swords to carve out climbing spots, and leaped lightly up the cliff.
Then, they stood at the edge of the cliff and looked down.
Dark clouds covered the sky, and thunder rumbled. In the blink of an eye, it was going to rain.
Du Guangchi faced the strong wind and carefully examined the Thousand-li Light Chasing Disc in his hand. After he found the right direction, he looked in that direction.
As expected, he could faintly see a huge nest made of branches, leaves, and white stones in the forest.
The nest was circular, and more than ten meters in diameter. There were many large leaves that resembled banana leaves on top of it. They overlapped and formed a natural umbrella to block the wind and rain outside.
Looking from afar, Du Guangchi saw a huge black bear lying on its stomach, sleeping lazily in a large den.
The black bear was sleeping soundly. It was more than three meters long and two meters wide. It was extremely strong. Its head rested on its arms, and its body rose and fell with its breathing.
"That's it, the Black Mountain Spirit that the rabbit demon mentioned before it died. Come to think of it, a mere little rabbit demon clan, their demonic power is so weak that they can't even defeat mortals, but they actually have the guts to rush over to absorb the Vital Essence of the young and strong men in the village. Now that I look at it, they really have a backer, "Du Guangchi said with certainty.
"Then Big Brother Du, what should we do?" Yao Lian used to be someone with her own ideas, but now that she was standing behind Du Guangchi, she became a little woman who only knew how to rely on him.
"Let's go straight there. This demon can't even transform. I reckon it's at the Foundation Establishment stage at most. Foundation Establishment demons also depend on their grade," Du Guangchi said confidently. Without waiting for Yao Lian's reply, he confidently turned around and walked down the cliff.
However, he did not know that Black Bear was actually one of the generals under the White Bear Demon, Iron Hammer. He was in charge of guarding the third island, but because he had been ordered to stay where he was, he did not take the initiative to attack.
As for the rabbit demon clan, he had never heard of any rabbits on the island. There was something fishy about the rabbit demon. He was also investigating the matter.
…
Wood Martial Abode.
Lu Sheng sat upright in a seclusion cave in the deepest part of the abode. Before him was a large piece of paper with the word 'Silence' written in black and white.
Wisps of dark blue mist slowly hovered around his body, and the entire cave was filled with an extremely cold and chilling air.
A thin layer of frost formed on the ground and the walls.
After a long while, he suddenly exhaled. A silver ball floated up and down behind him. It was supported by the dark blue mist as it hovered in midair.
'My body has basically adjusted and adapted. Some of the minute parts that the original Triad Brilliant Nether Collection couldn't strengthen have been tempered have been fully nourished now. It's about time to start deriving the next step. '
Lu Sheng muttered in his heart. Deep Blue's light blue frame suddenly popped out and hovered before him.
He looked directly at the second frame.
"Unknown cultivation method, Early-stage Foundation Building. (Spiritual Power Nature, Yin Chill Strengthening Level Two, Spiritual Volume Strengthening Level Three.)"
'If this was the original Taoist Mu Yun's Foundation Building Spiritual Power, I'm afraid it'll be good enough if it's merely Yin Chill Strengthening Level One.' Lu Sheng made some calculations in his heart. He was quite satisfied.
'The next step is the sixth level of Foundation Building. This can be considered a gradual process. According to the thought process in the collection, I'm constantly modifying my body so that it's more compatible with the Pure Qi I control. I'll increase my resistance against Yin Chill Energy. In the later stages, I might even be able to improve my body's quality. This is actually to lay a solid and perfect foundation for my future Core Formation. It's equivalent to forging a cauldron before refining pills. If the cauldron isn't good enough, I won't be able to refine any good pills when I'm refining pills. '
Lu Sheng understood. The purpose of the Triad Brilliant Nether Collection was to wildly increase his body's resistance against Yin Chill Energy and his affinity with water attributes. Only then would his body be able to contain the extremely powerful Yin Chill Water during Core Formation.
His goal was to surpass Mu Yun. Naturally, the requirement for this level would be higher as well.
"Increase resistance. Many of the things I've learned can be used in this area. Coincidentally, Mental Energy can simulate various elemental powers. It can completely satisfy any harsh requirements for increasing my body's resistance. 'Lu Sheng calmed himself down and pressed the modify button with his consciousness.
The entire Deep Blue's interface immediately trembled. Then, it immediately returned to normal.
He looked at the second frame again. Under the unknown cultivation method, there was indeed a derive button behind the cultivation method.
'Let's see how much Mental Energy this Foundation Building tier can consume.' He focused and held his breath. Then, he pressed the derive button forcefully.
"Pcchht!"
A huge amount of Core Qi gushed out of his main body's mouth. This time, he released all of Mu Yun's Core Qi that he had devoured earlier. He allowed it to surge into Lu Sheng's body.
Before the Core Qi could cause any damage to Lu Sheng's meridians, the 99 vortexes in his body were like 99 huge mouths. They pulled at the Core Qi madly. Each of them tore off a piece and devoured it. Nothing was left.
Mu Yun's early-stage Core Formation realm cultivation base was completely digested by Lu Sheng, who was only at the Foundation Building tier. Nothing was left.
When Deep Blue sensed the extreme desire and dissatisfaction of the 99 vortexes in his body, a huge amount of pure Yin Chill Pure Qi formed from Mental Energy surged out seamlessly. It surged into the 99 vortexes like a tidal wave.
His Mental Energy began to deplete rapidly.
One unit, two units, three units …
In the blink of an eye, 10 units were depleted. It only stopped when 25 units were depleted.
At this moment, the area within a few meters of Lu Sheng's body was completely covered in a layer of pure white, crystalline ice. It enveloped his entire body into a huge block of ice that was several meters tall. The cave was extremely cold. The stone walls, tables, chairs, and scrolls on the walls were all slowly dyed with a strange layer of faint blue.
The 99 vortexes finally stopped after devouring an unknown amount of Yin Chill Pure Qi.
Lu Sheng opened his eyes. He looked at Deep Blue's frame. As expected, the display was different.
"Unknown cultivation method, Middle-stage Foundation Building. (Spiritual Power type, Yin Chill strengthened, level five. Spiritual Volume strengthened, level five.)"
'As expected, it's leveled up. It's going well. Continue. " Lu Sheng felt that his body was constantly being pulled and tempered by the ninety-nine vortexes during the derivation process. His strength and resistance were greatly improved.
The Yin Chill Pure Qi vortexes trained his body. At the same time, the Yang Essence would produce a special energy that could heal the body and speed up the healing process.
This was equivalent to him obtaining the results of someone else's decades of Foundation Building in a few short breaths.
Normally, this kind of sudden and shocking improvement would cause great harm to his body. However, because his main body's cultivation was now profound, it was still very easy for him to use his Yang Essence to create some pure healing power for his body, even though he couldn't completely appear in the world.
This way, he could train and destroy while healing. As long as his main body's healing power could keep up with the speed of destruction, Deep Blue could continue to derive and strengthen itself.
After resting for a while, Lu Sheng pressed the derivation button behind the frame again.
"Pcchht!"
In that instant, the 99 vortexes suddenly spun at high speed. Their speed was many times faster than the early stage of Foundation Building.
His Mental Energy transformed into Yin Chill Pure Qi and surged into all the vortexes again. This time, the consumption was even greater. More than 30 units of Mental Energy were used. Deep Blue trembled for more than 10 seconds before it slowly calmed down.
When everything calmed down, Lu Sheng clearly felt that something was wrong with his body.
Every move he made was as if he was carrying a ton of weight. It was slow and difficult.
'My body can't keep up? No, it's because I've absorbed too much Yin Chill Pure Qi. My nerves and blood vessels have all slowed down. Naturally, my reactions have slowed down. ' Lu Sheng was unconcerned. This was also mentioned in the Triad Brilliant Nether Collection. This was a possible phenomenon. Actually, it was not really troublesome. It was merely a special state that many cultivators could not obtain even if they wanted it. This was because this state could allow their bodies to adapt to the Nether Water's sinister poison at the fastest speed possible.
The solution was simple. All he had to do was nurture a bit of pure Yang from extreme Yin in his own Yin Chill vortex.
The reason the Triad Brilliant Nether Collection could only form a first-grade Core was because it wasn't perfect in nurturing pure Yang. Hence, the essence of the Inner Core formed was impure. It was good enough that it could be gathered together.
'The method to condense pure Yang in the Triad Brilliant Nether Collection doesn't work at all. It seems complicated and profound, but in simple terms, it's to use the high pressure generated by the rotation to compress the Yin Chill Pure Qi to its maximum density. Then, I'll use the Nether Water as a primer to change the True Qi in my body and transform it into a higher quality True Essence in a short amount of time. After that, I'll use the True Essence to stimulate the body's vital acupoints in a special and complicated order. This will cause a chain reaction between the body and the spirit. In the process of resisting and adapting to the True Essence, a bit of pure Yang will be produced in the body. '
Lu Sheng began to ponder. He had seen too many martial arts, cultivation methods, and True Essence skills. He had a rough idea of the rules and methods.
'If that's the case, as long as the body is strong enough and the secret method to stimulate the body is good enough, the pure Yang produced in the end will be better. Let's not think too much about it for now. I'll extrapolate to the late stage of the Foundation Building and pass the Core Tribulation first. '
Lu Sheng focused and held his breath again. He pressed the extrapolation button for the third time.
