A strong cultivator was the most important factor in a clan's prosperity. The reason why Lingnan City could exist was because the Li Clan had a Core Formation Stage ancestor. Anyone who wanted to cause trouble in the city had to consider the consequences of angering a Core Formation Stage cultivator.
In addition, this wasn't the real Immortal Cultivation Realm. It was just at the edge of the Immortal Cultivation Realm. Most of the people here were rogue cultivators. Some small clans wouldn't dare to provoke a powerful clan like the Li Clan. But now was different. If news of Li Cang Lan's death were to spread, many clans who wanted to use the Li Clan as a stepping stone would be more than happy to destroy the Li Clan or chase them out of Lingnan City.
Under these circumstances, it was definitely not the time for a clan to wallow in grief. The only way was to raise another Core Formation Stage cultivator in the shortest amount of time possible and seal off the news of Li Cang Lan's death. Only then would they have enough time to recover. Otherwise, they wouldn't be far from their downfall.
Li Zhi Zhi was the current head of the clan because of the Li Clan's weakness. How could he not understand this? Therefore, regarding Li Cang Lan's death, he only told the most trusted elders in the clan. This way, not only could he seal off the news, but he could also use this matter to stimulate the clan's potential. By stimulating these Foundation Establishment stage elders, they would be able to move forward courageously and break through the bottleneck of the Foundation Establishment stage, condense their Golden Core and enter the Core Formation stage. This way, they would be able to overcome this crisis at this critical juncture.
"Yes, Patriarch!!"
The elders all responded with a serious expression. They all grew up in the Li Clan and were the direct bloodline of the Li Clan. They all knew that if the Li Clan fell, they wouldn't have a good ending.
"Everyone, our Li Clan has reached its most critical juncture. The death of our ancestor will be the clan's top secret from today onwards. No one is allowed to mention it in front of outsiders. To outsiders, just say that our ancestor is in closed door cultivation and is preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage. If even a single word about our ancestor's death is leaked out … " Li Zhi Zhi coldly looked around. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he said, "Then our Li Clan will do everything in our power to kill him and destroy his soul."
"Yes, Patriarch!! We won't reveal anything about this. "
The people here were all core members of the Li family. They were all elders and had grown up in the Li family. Their loyalty to the Li family was unquestionable.
When they heard the news of Li Canglan's death, they knew that the Li Family's most difficult time had arrived. Whether they could survive or not would depend on whether a Core Formation cultivator could be born in the next few years before the news of their ancestor's death spread. If they could, the Li Family would still be able to survive despite the huge losses. It was only a matter of time before he regained his strength.
If they couldn't, then the Li family would completely fall from the position of a first-rate family and become a second-rate world, or even a last-rate family. These were all extremely likely things.
"Alright, in the next few years, all of the Li Clan's resources will be given to you without limit. As long as we can produce a single Core Formation cultivator, our Li Clan will continue to exist."
Li Zhi didn't say much. After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and motioned for everyone to leave.
After the others had left, Li Zhi was the only one left in the hall. He sat paralyzed in his seat as he stared blankly at his outstretched right hand. In the palm of his right hand, there were many tiny pieces of jade. These pieces of jade were all broken.
If they were pieced together, a complete soul tablet could be obtained. This broken soul tablet naturally belonged to none other than Li Canglan. Now, these broken jade pieces no longer had the slightest bit of light. They were as dim as stones and their spirituality had long been exhausted.
Even if it was pieced together, it wouldn't have the slightest effect.
Looking at the fragments in his hand, Li Zhi's eyes suddenly burst with a dense hatred that couldn't be dissolved. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
"Southern Barbarian, Southern Barbarian Demon Clan, Demonic Tiger, it's all because of you that my Li Clan suffered such a heavy blow. If my Li Clan recovers one day, we will definitely take revenge. We will definitely take revenge. Even if the losses are great, we will completely raze the Southern Barbarian to the ground," Li Zhi shouted with a ferocious expression.
It was obvious how much hatred he had in his heart. Even if three rivers were poured in, it wouldn't be able to be vented.
Chu Country's Imperial Capital.
Chu Family's Manor.
The Chu Family's Patriarch, who was also the Chu Country's Monarch, Chu Tianxing, was standing opposite a man shrouded in a black fog. Although this man was standing, he could respectfully bow in front of Chu Tianxing to show his respect.
"Black Prison, you're saying that the old fart of the Li Clan, Li Canglan, has already fallen in the Southern Barbarian? I remember that old fart Li Canglan has been in seclusion ever since he reached the Core Formation stage. He wouldn't come out unless something major happened. To think that he would fall in the Southern Barbarian. " Chu Tianxing exuded a dignified aura. Although it was just a normal question, the pressure in his words was naturally revealed.
Black Prison spoke respectfully with an indescribable hoarseness in his voice. This hoarseness was quite strange, making it impossible for others to detect the slightest bit of emotion in his words. It was as if he was a piece of cold iron without any emotions. Hearing this, a chill unconsciously spread from the bottom of one's heart.
"Patriarch, ever since you told us to pay attention to the Southern Barbarian, I personally went there to observe the strength of the Demon Clans in the Southern Barbarian. I wanted to use it in the future. However, before I entered the Southern Barbarian, I unexpectedly saw Li Canglan rush into the Southern Barbarian on his Floating Cloud Boat. He never came out again. "
Black Prison's hoarse voice was very stiff, but he still continued, "At that time, there were continuous thunder in the Southern Barbarian. If I'm not mistaken, there should be a Demon Beast undergoing the Demon Tribulation in the Transformation stage. I didn't dare to approach easily and could only watch from afar. However, I saw that the Demon Beast Kings in the Southern Barbarian really had strength that far surpassed that of a Demon Beast. Even if they fought against a Core Formation cultivator, they would be evenly matched in a short period of time. Now, there is probably a Demon Beast in the Southern Barbarian who has condensed an Inner Core. I sincerely request that the Southern Barbarian be resolved as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will definitely become difficult to deal with in the future. "
When Black Prison said the last sentence, his eyes burst with cold killing intent. There was a ruthless look in his eyes.
"No!!" Unexpectedly, Chu Tianxing shook his head and denied, "Right now, all the resources in the clan are placed in the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm in less than three years. Even if the Southern Barbarian's strength increases greatly, its importance is absolutely not comparable to the operation in three years. In these three years, the entire Chu Clan must put the trip to the secret realm first. Everything else can be temporarily put aside." There was an unquestionable firmness in his voice. It was a tone that absolutely could not be changed.
"Yes!!" When Black Prison heard this, he answered without a trace of hesitation.
Chu Tianxing looked at Black Prison and nodded, "Black Prison, in these three years, seize the time to train the Black Prison Guards. Legend has it that in the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm, there is a supreme treasure called the Ten Thousand Celestial Pagoda. This pagoda contains the secrets of the heavens and earth. As long as you obtain it, you can become one of the most powerful forces in the world. No matter whether it is true or not, this pagoda must be in our hands. Even if we can't obtain it, we must not let others obtain it. "
This rumor had actually been circulating in the Zijin continent for a long time. It was said that this pagoda was the true treasure of the Hidden Territory. If one obtained it, they would be able to break through to a realm that no one could match. Thousands of years ago, there was a small cultivator who was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. By chance, he entered the pagoda. When he came out, his cultivation base had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.
After that, within a thousand years, he broke through several barriers and passed the tribulation to become an immortal.
This matter was widely circulated in the continent and could not be more true. Therefore, as long as the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm opened again, it would stir up a boundless storm and thousands of huge waves. Countless cultivators would rush into the secret realm, hoping that they would be the next lucky person.
Unfortunately, in the years that followed, no one else had such a fortuitous encounter. Even so, the people who rushed to the pagoda were still as numerous as carps crossing the river. There were many of them.
"Yes, the Black Prison Guards have basically been trained. As long as the Master gives the order, even if it is a mountain of swords or a sea of flames, the Black Prison Guards will rush forward without hesitation. Moreover, the Black Prison Absolute Formation has been practiced to the later stages. As long as one is enveloped by the Absolute Formation, even a Nascent Soul Old Monster will die in the formation. "
The murderous intent in Black Prison's eyes was awe-inspiring. The meaning in his words was enough to freeze one's heart and make one completely dumbfounded. To be able to kill a Nascent Soul Old Monster, such a formation must be extremely terrifying.
"Mm, that's good. You may leave."
"Yes!!"
Black Prison answered. The black fog fluctuated and he disappeared silently from the hall. The scene was as if he had never appeared. It was simply terrifying to the extreme.
On the waterfall of the Myriad Demon Valley.
There was a huge reef. On the rock, a huge black tiger stood on it. From his body, traces of black demon qi were constantly emitted from the pores of his body. Outside his body, they condensed and did not disperse, forming a black demon fog that completely covered his entire body.
The demon fog fluttered with the wind, and Di Shitian's figure was faintly discernible in it. It was very strange.
"Huff!!"
A dull sound was heard in front of him along with his breathing. His inhalation and exhalation had a strange rhythm. He raised his head to the sky, facing the moon, and exhaled again and again. In the sky above his head, strands of silver-white light emerged continuously and quickly rushed to Di Shitian's position.
This was the essence of the sun and moon. However, the essence of the sun and moon this time was different from the previous absorption. It was like a small speck of light, but it turned into strands of silver-white light and fell down. Imagine, to condense this light, who knows how many particles were needed to fuse and condense together.
This kind of efficiency was many times faster than in the past.
The silver-white light surged to his side and poured into his body through the open pores.
"The Mystic Moon Refining Technique is indeed worthy of being the secret technique of the Fox Clan. It can actually allow me to absorb the essence of the sun and moon. The speed and the quantity are ten times or even a hundred times faster than before. It's really amazing." Di Shitian absorbed the Mystic Yin Force falling from the moon. He was secretly amazed in his heart. The secret technique of the Fox Clan was really amazing.
It could increase the speed of absorbing the essence of the sun and moon by a hundred times. If it was used in cultivation, it would definitely increase the speed of one's cultivation by ten times or even a hundred times. Others needed a hundred years to transform, but those who practiced the Mystic Moon Refining Technique only needed a year or ten years. The difference was huge.
It could be seen that this technique was very important. It was definitely not a small matter or a small difference.
As he thought about it, his body did not stop. Under the control of his mind, the absorbed Mysterious Yin Energy did not fuse into his meridians. Instead, it went through nine cycles in his body and turned into a mysterious energy. Then, it quickly fused into his flesh and blood.
This merging was very mysterious. It seemed to be connecting with every inch of his muscles. Moreover, the silver-white Mystic Yin Force did not completely merge with his flesh and blood. Instead, it condensed and formed silver-white meridians. It connected to every part of his body.
"The Mystic Moon Refining Technique must first shape the meridians. Condense the meridians, connect the meridians to the whole body, and transform the body! "
This sentence was the opening sentence of the Mystic Moon Refining Technique. It could be said that it ran through the whole text and contained the supreme true meaning of the Mystic Moon Refining Technique. If he did not hear it with his own ears and know the secret, Di Shitian would never believe that there was such a magical secret technique in this world. He could not help but admire the wisdom of the ancient Demon Clan.
"Using the Mystic Yin Force to shape the eight extraordinary meridians in the body and reconstruct the meridians, which are no different from the meridians in the human body. Then, with these meridians, the whole body's flesh and blood can be turned into a human. This kind of secret technique is really shocking. Bai Hu taught me this secret technique so easily. I owe her a big favor. "
Sakra smiled bitterly in his heart. However, when there were too many lice, there was no oxygen. Anyway, in the past, the Soul-Amassing Pill, the Imperial Heavenly Treasure Box, in addition to the debt of saving his life last time, and this time, the mysterious secret technique was given to him. If he really wanted to calculate, the relationship between him and the white fox was simply omnipresent. As for the debt of gratitude, it would be very difficult to calculate clearly.
Although he gave her a promise, a promise was a promise. A favor could not be fully repaid.
The Mystic Moon Refining Technique molded the meridians in the human body in the Demon Clan's body. One could imagine how precious such a secret technique was.
"I owe her a big favor."
Di Shitian muttered to himself. Without saying anything more, he raised his head and looked at the moon. He inhaled and exhaled. Like swallows returning to their nests, the silver-white threads flowed into his body endlessly. After entering his body, they followed the secret technique and molded the meridians one by one.
First, he molded the Twelve Standard Meridians.
On the first day, he molded the Gallbladder Meridian, Liver Meridian, and Lung Meridian!
The next day, the large intestine meridian, stomach meridian, and spleen meridian were formed!
On the third day, the heart meridian, small intestine meridian, and bladder meridian were formed!
… ….
… ….
Every day, new meridians would be formed. At the same time, Di Shitian could faintly feel that his control over the demonic qi was also becoming more proficient in this process. Every day, he would have extraordinary gains. Unknowingly, his understanding of himself also increased.
Time passed day by day.
After sculpting the Twelve Standard Meridians, it was time to sculpt the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
As time passed, numerous silver-white meridians began to spread throughout his body, connecting together. His Qi and blood also began to circulate according to these meridians. The blood and flesh all over his body became abnormally excited, as if some kind of mysterious change was about to occur at any time.
Du Meridian, Ren Meridian, Chong Meridian, Dai Meridian, Yinwei Meridian, Yangwei Meridian, and Yinqiao Meridian.
His meridians were being perfected.
On the ninth day, the last Yang Heel Meridian was successfully formed.
"Boom boom boom!!"
At the moment when all the meridians were successfully molded, the inside of Sakra's body was like the creation of heaven and earth in the chaos. Rumbling sounds were unceasing. All the meridians were connected into one in an instant, forming a complete meridian circulation. It ran through his entire body. His Qi and blood were vibrating violently and rolling continuously.
At this moment, the demonic qi in the Demon Abode naturally rushed out and directly rushed into the newly formed meridians. However, it was extremely difficult for the demonic qi to move through the newly formed meridians. Every step forward seemed to be breaking through the blocked parts of the meridians.
"It's the ninth day. Di Shitian should be at the final step of transforming his body." In the valley, Bai Hu had unknowingly left the cave abode. She did not continue to cultivate in seclusion. Instead, she stared unblinkingly in the direction of the waterfall. A faint smile appeared in her eyes as she said, "However, it's not that easy to truly transform. To form new meridians, you have to break through the meridians again and completely integrate the meridians with your body. Moreover, you have to break through all the meridians in one go. Otherwise, you won't be able to achieve perfection. "
During this process, there must not be any pause. You have to break through all the meridians in one go and finally integrate them with your body and connect them together. When you can circulate your Qi and blood, you have truly cultivated this secret technique to perfection. Otherwise, it will be a failure. You won't be able to truly transform.
Moreover, the process of breaking through the meridians was a rather painful one.
"Go, you have to break through all the barriers and pierce through your body. Demon Refining Cauldron, turn for me!! "
Di Shitian's heart emitted an aura of solitude. His mind drove the Demon Refining Cauldron and it began to spin wildly. Waves of pure demonic qi were constantly spewing out from the cauldron as it spun. At the same time, the cauldron was constantly absorbing large amounts of essence from the countless bodies in the cauldron. Refined into demonic qi and used it as a shield in the cauldron.
Wave after wave of demonic qi surged into the meridians, turning into roaring beasts that rushed towards the barriers in each meridian. In the beginning, it was like a hot knife through butter. Every time it broke through a barrier, the two meridians would be completely connected and perfectly fused together. Of course, when it broke through the meridians, the terrible pain of opening up the meridians also emerged in waves. This caused Di Shitian's body to constantly tremble.
"Breaking through the meridians must be done in one go. I can't back down halfway. Go for me. I don't believe that I can't break through with such a large amount of demonic qi. Ah!! "
The demonic qi flowed endlessly and roared continuously. The barriers in front of it were all broken through in an instant like clay chickens and pottery dogs. One … two … three …
In a few breaths, he broke through two-thirds of the meridians in one go with the help of the massive amount of demonic qi. However, no matter how ferocious the demonic qi was, every time it broke through the meridians, the ferocious demonic qi would be worn down a little. In the process, the demonic qi was also rapidly consumed.
When it reached two-thirds, there was less than one-third left.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!! "
When it began to break through the barriers in front of it again, that barrier was like a dam in front of a reservoir, stubbornly blocking the front. Time and time again, the barrier was on the verge of collapse, but it couldn't be completely broken through. It was blocked outside.
"No, I can't give up. Refining Form and breaking through the meridians, Mystic Moon, help me!!"
Sakra fiercely opened his eyes, and the 108,000 pores on his body instantly emitted a tyrannical devouring power, swallowing the demonic mist outside his body into his body, and quickly transforming it into demonic primordial energy, rushing into his meridians and merging with the previous demonic primordial energy. In an instant, the demonic qi grew stronger and roared as it rushed towards the barrier. With a rumble, his meridians trembled violently.
He broke through, but —
When he tried to break through the next barrier, he felt powerless again.
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
However, at this moment, Di Shitian operated the Mystic Moon Refining Technique to the extreme. His body was like a magnet, madly sucking in the moonlight. The void shook violently. With a swoosh, a silver-white light pillar instantly fell from the moon, covering Di Shitian and the reef beneath him in an instant.
The silver-white light pillar stood between heaven and earth, connecting everything to the heavens.
In the light pillar, countless streaks of Mystic Yin essence poured into Di Shitian's body like a fountain. The Mystic Yin energy rushed into his body and into his meridians, intertwining with the original demonic qi in one fell swoop, violently attacking the remaining meridians.
"Bang, bang, bang!!" “
This time, the massive amount of essence that had descended from the heavens combined with the Demonic Qi was incredibly powerful. His breakthrough was like a hot knife through butter. One by one, the barriers collapsed. In the blink of an eye, all of the meridians in his body had been completely connected, and were now truly connected as one.
"Ah!!" “
And just as it penetrated all the meridians in his body, a surge of turbulent power suddenly emerged from all over his body. In an instant, every inch of his flesh and blood was undergoing an incredible reversal. The pitch-black demonic qi, like smoke, rolled out and rushed into the sky.
"Who is this? To be able to attract such a huge amount of essence from the sun and the moon, who is going to transform? But there is no transformation Demonic Tribulation. What is this … "
In the Hundred Flowers Valley, the girl looked at the Myriad Demon Valley in shock. A towering pillar stood between heaven and earth, and she could clearly feel the enormous Mystic Yin energy contained in it. Even she could not attract such a huge amount of Mystic Yin energy.
