"In the world of immortal cultivation, there are indeed many heroes."
Ye Linyuan couldn't help but sigh that there has never been a shortage of top talents in the world.
In his previous life, Ye Linyuan cultivated quasi-great supernatural powers in the Jindan realm, but it was not an isolated case.
The saints of the major Nascent Soul sects, the top Jindan geniuses, and some geniuses who have realized quasi-great magical powers, basically all of these people have the potential to reach the middle Nascent Soul stage.
The reason why Ye Linyuan was better than them in his previous life and was hailed as the greatest genius in Nanling Chixiazhou in a thousand years was firstly because his frontal combat power was superior.
But the most crucial thing is that his background is not as good as others, and he also created his own quasi-great magical power, the Wanhua Sword Technique.
In his previous life, Ye Linyuan was just a direct descendant of the Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan. In terms of inheritance, heritage, resources, and background, he was far inferior to the direct descendants of those top Jindan sects and Yuanying clans.
Without sufficient inheritance, it was difficult for him to even obtain superior skills, and he could only rely on his own understanding and decisiveness in killing to embark on the path of cultivation.
With such conditions and background, he created the Wanhua Sword Art, which is known as the best killing skill among those at the same level and has astonishing upper limit and potential. It can be seen how amazing Ye Linyuan's talent was in his previous life.
In the previous life, there was even a Nascent Soul ancestor who believed that if Ye Linyuan was born in a major Nascent Soul sect and received better inheritance and cultivation since childhood, he would very likely have the potential to reach the late Nascent Soul stage.
If this is the case, he would probably not only be the number one person in Nanling Chixiazhou in the past thousand years, but would also be qualified to compete for the title of the number one genius in ten thousand years.
It is also because of this that Ye Linyuan has a very high opinion of Meng Nanfeng.
This person has come this far from being a menial disciple, which shows that his initial qualifications were probably not very high, and he was probably just three or four spiritual roots.
With such ordinary qualifications, he practiced the extremely difficult and superior martial art "Blowing Dreams in the West Island" and cultivated all the way to such an incredible realm now. It can be seen that Meng Nanfeng is an extraordinary person with extraordinary talent and Taoism.
With his talent and potential, this person is probably qualified to compete for the first genius of the human race in Canglinghai in the past thousand years, at least enough to be listed in the top ten.
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, the world of immortal cultivation in Cangling Sea is relatively closed, most of the sea areas are uninhabited, not as vast and prosperous as Chixiazhou in Nanling.
According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, normally in a thousand years here, there would be less than ten top-level golden elixirs that could cultivate quasi-great supernatural powers, and the more likely possibility is only seven or eight.
The five domains are divided into two races: humans and demons. There are only one or two geniuses of this level in almost every domain.
It was different in the Nanling Chixiazhou in the previous life. In the huge Nanling Chixiazhou, the Nascent Soul force was at least several times that of here, and there were more than twenty Jindan geniuses who cultivated quasi-great supernatural powers every thousand years.
"I don't know how far Meng Nanfeng will go in the end."
Ye Linyuan's mind was in turmoil, and then he withdrew all thoughts.
Meng Nanfeng was not a fellow practitioner with him, and he did not practice the same method with the people around him, so the two of them were not enemies at least for now. Since they were not enemies, there was no need to bother with too much calculation.
"Next, practice is more important."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, and then focused his attention on practicing and cultivating the spiritual field.
"..."
In the following years, Ye Linyuan practiced in seclusion and no longer came out to get involved in the struggles between various forces. He focused on practicing and cultivating spiritual medicines, preparing for a breakthrough to the late Golden Core stage in the future.
Time flies by so quickly, and many years have passed in the blink of an eye.
And during the years when he was practicing in seclusion, the war between the entire Five Elements Sea and even the eastern region of the Cangling Sea and the six dragon palaces finally broke out.
After years of spying, the six dragon palaces roughly figured out the approximate strength of the deep-sea monsters in the Eastern Region and launched a war against the deep-sea monsters in this area.
The eight major sects of the Eastern Region Alliance sensed something was wrong. In order to avoid being in a predicament, they had no choice but to fight against the six dragon palaces.
In a short time, the smoke of war spread throughout the entire Eastern Region, and many Jindan forces also participated in this war.
And there was also a hint of chaos in the Five Elements Sea. The Five Elements Taoist Sect suffered such a huge loss, they would definitely not let it go easily.
Therefore, he summoned several top Jindan sects such as the Renshui Sect, and sent a group of Taoist soldiers and monks out of seclusion to support the deep-sea monster clan closest to the Five Elements Sea - the Canghai Xuancrocodile Monster King clan.
The Canghai Black Crocodile clan is a descendant of the top true spirits and the strongest deep-sea demon clan in the surrounding area. This lineage has two Nascent Soul Demon Kings.
The Renshui Taoist Sect joined forces with the Canghai Xuancroboid Clan, and a great battle broke out with the Heiyuan Dragon Palace in their Taoist temple, Cangyuyuan.
The battle was not going well at first, but halfway through, two more deep-sea demon kings came to support and used the power of the mountain protection formation to block the attack of the Black Abyss Dragon Palace.
Obviously, facing the six extremely powerful Dragon Palaces, many Demon Kings and sects in the Eastern Region are very wary. They temporarily put aside their grudges and unite to fight against the Black Abyss Dragon Palace.
After this battle, the war situation temporarily fell into a stalemate.
Although the Black Abyss Dragon Palace failed to capture the Cang Crocodile Abyss, it also captured several small fourth-level spirit veins of the pseudo-demon king, and temporarily gained a foothold in the Seven Domain Alliance.
According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, the Five Elements Sea might not have the initiative in this battle.
The Black Abyss Dragon Palace, which is in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, has high-end combat power that exceeds that of several major forces. If there is no powerful being of the same level to fight against it, then the Black Abyss Dragon Palace can choose to gradually encroach on this sea area.
Apart from the war among several Nascent Soul forces, the Seven Domain Alliance is relatively peaceful. After all, there lives a sleeping true spirit of heaven and earth in the Seven Domain Alliance.
As long as the Black Abyss Dragon Palace is not stupid, it will not offend this sleeping true spirit of heaven and earth again.
The Five Elements Taoist Sect is also very wary of the True Spirit of Heaven and Earth, and will probably not allow it to revive easily.
This allowed the Ye family's immortal clan members to gradually become more focused in their practice, and several years passed without them noticing.
"It's done."
On this day, Ye Linyuan once again used the spiritual plant spell to take care of the spiritual field, and then a slight ripple appeared in his eyes.
But in the huge spiritual field, an old tree surrounded by the power of thunder took root in the spiritual field.
This tree is filled with the power of thunder and is shaped like a thunder dragon. It exudes the hot breath of thunder and has an extremely strong dragon power.
"This Thunder Dragon Wood has finally matured."
Ye Linyuan spoke slowly, with a smile in his eyes.
This piece of Thunder Dragon wood is a third-grade top-quality spiritual wood. It is one of the precious spiritual woods that Ye Linyuan obtained from the Zixi Dragon Palace. It is also an exclusive specialty of the Thunder Dragon clan.
This kind of thunder dragon wood is suitable for refining high-quality magic weapons with thunder attributes, and it can often emit tremendous power.
Ye Linyuan planned to refine it into a set of Tiangang Thunder Tribulation Array to assist Han Chi and others in breaking through the King's Blood.
"But before assisting them, maybe you can let me try it first to see if I can use it to break through the bottleneck of my physical body."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart. His physical cultivation had stagnated at the middle stage of the Golden Core for more than twenty years. He had never been able to completely break through the bottleneck and step into the realm of the Great Accomplishment Combat Body.
Cultivating the physical body requires a special consumption of resources, and breaking through the bottleneck of the great combat body is extremely difficult, and often requires the consumption of rare treasures such as the Millennium Red Fruit.
Although it is not impossible to break through without treasures, it often takes a decade or two of hard work before reaching a bottleneck, and there is a high possibility that the final breakthrough will fail.
Obviously, whether it is the path of body refining or the path of cultivating magic power, the late stage of Jindan is a big bottleneck.
"Hopefully it will work out."
Ye Linyuan pondered for a moment, then cut down the Thunder Dragon Wood. In the end, he obtained a total of thirty-six pieces of third-grade top-quality spiritual wood, in addition to a large piece of Thunder Dragon Wood.
According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, this large piece of Thunder Dragon Wood should be able to be used to refine a top-grade magic weapon of exquisite quality. Unfortunately, the Ye family does not have a cultivator with thunder spiritual roots.
Ye Linyuan planned to keep it and wait until the barter conference was held again in a few years to see if he could exchange it for some rare treasures.
Getting back to the topic, after gathering the thirty-six pieces of lightning-struck wood, Ye Linyuan immediately began to refine the thunder magic weapon.
This time, Ye Linyuan did not choose the fire method of refining, but still chose the unconventional water method of refining.
Everything in the world can be used to achieve enlightenment; the forces of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and even wind, ice, and thunder all have their own unique magic of refining.
Fire refining is the most common method, water refining contains vitality, and wood refining requires transforming spiritual materials into a spiritual seed. It is an extremely rare high-level refining method and is particularly time-consuming and labor-intensive.
The most unfathomable method of refining weapons is to hide the embryo of the weapon in the earth veins and mountains, and use the formation and earth veins to gather the essence of the mountains, rivers, sun and moon, and naturally nurture it into a peerless magic weapon. In addition, the wind, ice, thunder and other methods all have the effect of refining weapons and elixirs.
For example, thunder magic is to replace spiritual fire with heavenly thunder, and absorb the extremely domineering power of thunder to forge and hammer magical instruments. The magic weapons forged in the end often have great effects.
If Ye Linyuan wanted to refine a set of domineering magic weapons to protect himself, then refining the weapon with fire or thunder methods would actually be the best choice.
The magic weapon refined by fire method and the combination of thunder and fire must have great power.
If it is a weapon refined with thunder, and the magic weapon is carved with the essence of heavenly thunder, after thousands of hammering and tempering, it will eventually become a set of rare and exquisite magic weapons.
Water-based weapon refining is too gentle, and the final weapon is often less powerful, but its advantage is that it has extremely high growth potential.
The most important thing is that Ye Linyuan is going to refine a set of special magic weapons this time, the main purpose of which is to strengthen the body and temper the blood, rather than to kill powerful enemies.
The Thunder Dragon Wood itself is a thunder spirit material that contains vitality. If the spirituality in it is thoroughly activated by using water-based refining techniques, it can contain a hint of vitality and possess a special sense of rebirth after a catastrophe.
This kind of magic weapon is most suitable for tempering the royal blood, and is the best special magic weapon for strengthening the body and tempering the blood.
Ye Linyuan kept thinking in his mind, and then used the water from the endless ocean to refine this set of Thunder Dragon Wood. With the carving of the Tao essence, the Thunder Dragon Wood began to undergo continuous transformation.
In the end, this set of Thunder Dragon wood was refined into a set of top-grade magic weapons, with a total of thirty-six wooden stakes shaped like Thunder Dragons.
"This magic weapon is called the Thunder Dragon Pile, and this formation is called the Heavenly Gang Thunder Dragon Formation."
Ye Linyuan whispered, revealing a look of satisfaction.
He tried to activate it and found that this formation could not only emit tremendous thunder, but also manifest thirty-six thunder dragons comparable to the third level of golden elixir that struck in all directions.
If the thirty-six thunder dragons were to unite as one, they might have the potential to severely damage the golden elixir.
An ordinary golden elixir master would be in danger of dying once he was trapped by this set of thunder dragons.
This is still a weapon refined using water method, which results in the relatively weak power of this treasure. If this set of magic weapons were refined using fire method, the power of these thunder dragons would be comparable to that of the fourth level of golden elixir.
If they were forged using thunder magic, the power unleashed by these thunder dragons might be comparable to that of a top-level mid-stage Jindan. By then, even the False Infant Ancestor might be severely injured or even killed.
Of course, if it was forged using thunder magic, with Ye Linyuan’s current cultivation and magic power, he would probably not be able to unleash its true power.
On the contrary, after being forged with water magic, this set of Tiangang Thunder Dragon Array became a magic weapon with three attributes of water, wood and thunder. Ye Linyuan can also activate this magic weapon to fight against the enemy and exert almost all of its power.
"The magic weapon has been refined. It's time to find an opportunity to see if I can break through."
Ye Linyuan collected the thirty-six thunder dragon stakes with satisfaction, and then took them back to the Yueyuan Sea.
Then he used the spirit veins to set up the formation, and after thinking for a while, he said to Shui Hanqing: "Go and summon Han Chi and other demon kings."
"Ah."
Shui Hanqing nodded. This was the first time that Ye Linyuan tried to use the thunder tribulation formation to strengthen his body. It was just a good opportunity for Han Chi and the others to broaden their horizons and make some preparations for the future transformation of the royal blood.
Not long after, Ye Linyuan successfully completed the formation and took a day or two to adjust his breath. Han Chi, Fighting Golden Ape, Fushan Ao and Cangyue Bei had all arrived.
Even Ye Xuqiu's spirit beast, the Red Flame Spirit Phoenix that had just broken through to the Golden Core stage not long ago, was now standing at the foot of the mountain with curiosity, but his eyes revealed an extremely solemn look.
This Scarlet Flame Spirit Phoenix has only been practicing for a hundred years, and its cultivation has just reached the second level of the Golden Core. However, its bloodline has recovered very quickly, and is now close to its peak level.
According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, this Scarlet Flame Spirit Phoenix was most likely originally a true spirit of heaven and earth, but its bloodline was damaged for some reason in ancient times.
Although the potential has declined now, with sufficient resources, the recovery speed in the early stage will definitely be faster than Han Chi and others.
Of course, these are all things that happened later. Now that they had arrived, Ye Linyuan did not delay any longer.
But when he activated the formation, he immediately drew the power of thunder to temper his body. In an instant, an illusory thunder dragon flew across the sky and slammed into Ye Linyuan's body.
"boom--"
As thunder exploded, Ye Linyuan felt a tingling sensation in his body, followed by a hot electric current flowing through his body.
Unconsciously, the large amount of Blood and Flesh Pills he had taken, which caused his body's qi and blood to rapidly condense, and many impurities were completely turned into ashes by the power of thunder.
"To cultivate the body, it is not enough to rely on precious medicine to nourish the body. It also needs to be tempered by lightning and fire."
"Only by enduring the ultimate power of thunder and fire can one completely surpass the limit and cultivate a perfect combat body of the quasi-fourth level."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and at this moment he had some vague understanding in his mind.
If he relied on the Millennium Red Fruit, he might be able to cultivate a great combat body, but this was just going off the mark.
Without experiencing lightning strikes and fire trials, no matter how many elixirs and precious medicines you have, your foundation will probably be weak and it will be difficult to complete the final transformation. You will ultimately not be able to cultivate a perfect fighting body.
The same is true for Han Chi and his companions' path to true spirits. Perhaps they can rely on precious medicines to cultivate royal blood, but if they cannot experience the tribulation of their true spirits, they probably won't be able to transform into the legendary true spirits of heaven and earth.
"In that case, let's do it again."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, feeling that this amount of thunder power was not enough.
So he continued to activate the formation, and one after another illusory thunder dragons suddenly broke through the air, and thirty-six thunder dragons came down continuously.
With such thunder power, Ye Linyuan felt that his blood and physique had undergone tremendous changes, which were about 30% higher than before he was tempered by thunder.
"The power of thunder is not enough."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart that after reaching this point, relying solely on the third-level Golden Core Phantom Thunder Dragon would no longer be able to bring him much improvement.
So he continued to activate the formation, fusing all kinds of thunder dragons, and working together with twelve thunder dragons comparable to those in the middle stage of the Golden Core to forge his body.
After forging like this for seven days in a row, Ye Linyuan finally felt that his body had been condensed to its limit.
With a loud bang, Ye Linyuan finally broke through the bottleneck and his physical cultivation reached the late Golden Core realm.
"Breakthrough."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly, but was not in a hurry to condense the third physical magical power. Instead, he continued to activate the formation to strengthen his body.
This time, Ye Linyuan mobilized most of the power of the formation, condensing four thunder dragons comparable to the late Jindan stage to continuously bombard his body.
Under the bombardment of such a powerful thunder dragon, Ye Linyuan's body was like a piece of peerless fairy gold, which was constantly forged and tempered by the power of heavenly thunder, gradually turning into a flawless treasure.
One after another, new treasure patterns were born and evolved under the forging of thunder.
Finally, after reaching the limit, Ye Linyuan pushed the power of the formation to its limit. A dragon comparable to the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir kept bombarding down, and each attack brought great damage to Ye Linyuan.
His body began to crack, and cracks slowly appeared, but they quickly recovered under the repair of the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong.
Such lightning strikes lasted for nine days and nine nights. When the thunder power of the Golden Elixir Great Perfection could no longer bring any tempering effect, Ye Linyuan slowly exhaled a breath.
"Combat Body Completed."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly, his eyes constantly sensing the various treasure patterns in his body, and he couldn't help but smile.
This time, after experiencing the thunder body forging, he not only cultivated a great combat body, but also used the power of thunder to forge seventy-two new treasure patterns.
But the most crucial thing is that after Ye Linyuan's body was forged with thunder, his body had developed extremely high resistance to thunder.
According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, it would be difficult for ordinary Jindan-level thunder cultivators to cause much damage to him in the future.
Even with the thunder magic at the Jindan Great Perfection level, he can be immune to at least 50% of the damage.
You know, Thunder Magic itself is famous for its offensiveness. Ye Linyuan has such a high resistance to thunder, so he will definitely have a great advantage when facing Thunder Magic practitioners in the future. (End of this chapter)
