Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Three: Taixu Refinement Technique!
Zhou Yang's opponent is a fifth-level ice demon.
In a narrow ice cave, fighting an opponent like the Ice Demon who focuses on close combat is extremely dangerous.
Even if Zhou Yang himself is physically as powerful as an ordinary fifth-level monster, facing a sneak attack and assassination from an ice monster of the same level, it is not easy at all.
He once saw through the invisibility talent of the fourth-order ice demon through the "Lihuo Golden Eyes" and killed two fourth-order ice demons.
However, the fifth-level ice demon's invisibility talent is too powerful. Even if he uses his "Fire Golden Eyes" magical power with all his strength, he can barely see a faint white shadow. Often, by the time he sees the opponent's whereabouts clearly, the two sides are already close to each other.
It's thirty feet tall.
The distance of thirty feet is reached in an instant for a fifth-level ice demon.
So much so that in the early stages of the fight, Zhou Yang could only take the beating passively, and even if he wanted to fight back, he couldn't even touch a single hair of the fifth-level ice demon who came and went like the wind.
Fortunately, his "Black Turtle Shield" defense was strong enough, and he could always block the fifth-level ice demon's personal attacks in time, preventing the attacks from falling on him, and giving him a chance to counterattack.
At that time, after Zhou Yang withstood the initial stormy attack of the fifth-level ice demon, he immediately used the "Shaking Gong" magical weapon and sounded the gong.
He actually didn't expect the gong sound to have much effect on a physically powerful monster like the fifth-level ice demon. He just wanted to rely on the gong sound to slow down the opponent's offensive. It would be better if he could force the opponent out of the invisible state.
It should be said that his idea was half successful. Under the interference of the gong, the attack speed of the fifth-level ice demon did slow down a bit, but the gong had no curbing effect on its invisibility talent.
However, the mana consumed by ringing the "shaking gong" is not low, and Zhou Yang cannot keep the gong sounding all the time.
So when he saw that this trick didn't work, he immediately changed the trick.
With one move of his hand, he first withdrew the gong weapon, then opened his mouth and sprayed out a golden pagoda.
This golden pagoda magical weapon is the "Qianyang Golden Pagoda", the natal magical weapon that has not been used since Zhou Yang successfully refined it.
At this time, after nearly two years of cultivation, although his natal magic weapon has not yet been successfully promoted to the fifth-level magic weapon, due to the rare refining materials, its aura is already stronger than that of ordinary fifth-level low-grade magic weapons.
After Zhou Yang sacrificed this magic weapon, he raised his hand and pointed, and the pagoda grew to about three feet high and hung above his head. A layer of golden light dropped down to protect him inside.
At this time, the fifth-level ice demon launched a surprise attack again.
I saw a flash of white light, and the ice demon's sharp tiger claws gripped the layer of golden light with a cold light.
But even such a fierce attack did not break the thin layer of golden light.
It wasn't until a tail as sharp as a cone pierced the golden treasure light that it shattered the layer of treasure light, and was then blocked by the "Black Turtle Shield" body that came instantly from within the treasure light.
Such a round of attacks broke Zhou Yang's defense, but the ice demon didn't rush forward at all. As soon as his body moved, he quickly retreated and disappeared from Zhou Yang's sight.
As vicious as a snake, as cunning as a fox, and as patient as a wolf, this is the impression the ice demon gave Zhou Yang.
The ice demon obviously knows very well that as long as it continues to attack, in this ice cave, Zhou Yang, who has extremely yang attribute strength, will sooner or later become weak due to insufficient mana replenishment, but it will not be affected at all.
.
What it has to do is to constantly create pressure on Zhou Yang, forcing Zhou Yang to expend mana to defend against its attacks, but it cannot confront Zhou Yang head-on, lest Zhou Yang seizes the opportunity to counterattack.
Facing such a ruthless and cunning opponent, Zhou Yang was really under a lot of pressure.
But he also has an advantage, that is, he is very patient.
Even though he knew clearly what the ice demon was up to, he was still able to stabilize his mentality, calmly resist the ice demon's attacks again and again, and at the same time think of ways to break the situation.
In fact, he already had a plan in mind on how to break the situation.
But if you want to realize your plan, you have to wait for the right time.
The ice demon wanted to continue to consume his mana and make him weak. He actually wanted to further understand the ice demon's situation through repeated battles.
After a stalemate between one person and one demon for nearly half a day, Zhou Yang finally got an excellent opportunity to take action.
At that moment, when the ice demon pounced again, he judged the situation he had observed before and discovered the opponent's attack route one breath ahead of time.
With the buffer of this breath time and the correct judgment of the route, Zhou Yang immediately used the magic weapon "Qianyang Golden Pagoda" to perform a magic trick. In a short time, the golden pagoda flew dozens of feet in an instant and came to the invisible place. The top of the ice demon's head.
Then the two closed semicircular portals at the bottom of the tower suddenly opened, releasing a powerful suction force that enveloped the ice demon.
If Zhou Yang's "Qianyang Golden Pagoda" has been successfully promoted to the fifth level magical weapon, the ice demon will definitely not be able to resist it and will be sucked into the tower and trapped.
It's a pity that the "Qianyang Golden Pagoda" is now only a fourth-level high-grade magic weapon, and the power of this magic weapon's magical power is much lower.
The ice demon was suddenly attacked, but it just exploded with all its strength and quickly broke away from the pagoda's absorption power.
But even though it broke free from the pagoda's suction power, its body was inevitably sluggish.
It was this opportunity that Zhou Yang was waiting for.
There was a flash of silver light, and a silver long knife suddenly struck the ice demon head-on as it broke free from the power of the pagoda.
After it broke away from the pagoda's suction power, the blade was already within ten feet of it, and it had no chance to dodge.
As a last resort, it could only place one claw across its chest for protection, and the other claw fiercely grabbed the blade of the silver sword.
Frankly speaking, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the Ice Demon's response to this life-and-death situation. Zhou Yang asked himself that if he had changed places, he would not have been able to respond better. After all, the reaction time was too short. It’s short-lived!
However, sometimes the correct response does not mean that it will have the desired effect.
The ice demon made the right response, but he didn't expect that the silver sword would be so sharp.
So much so that the right claw that was grabbing at the blade and the left claw that was lying across its chest were both cut in half.
Then, without waiting for the pain of the broken claw to reach its mind, the blade of the silver long knife had disappeared from its body for more than half a foot. A biting cold air and sharp knife energy burst out from its body, stirring It freezes all the organs, tissues and blood around the wound.
Such injuries were not enough to kill the ice demon.
But the silver sword left in its body, as well as the sword energy in its body, made its most proud invisibility ability lose its effect in front of Zhou Yang.
The ice demon that has lost its invisibility is only as strong as an ordinary fifth-level monster, not to mention that it has suffered heavy injuries that are difficult to recover from.
If Zhou Yang couldn't even deal with such an ice monster, how could he have the dignity to fight for a treasure like the "Holy Infant Fruit"?
Sure enough, less than a quarter of an hour later, the severely wounded ice demon was shot dead by Zhou Yang on the road while fleeing.
After killing the ice demon, as soon as Zhou Yang put his body into the storage ring, a powerful force enveloped him and teleported him to a stone room rich in aura.
"Where is this?"
In the stone room, Zhou Yang, who was suddenly teleported here, opened his eyes and looked around, the gloomy color in his eyes flashing away.
I saw that this stone room was about the same size as a training room in a cave. Apart from a stone bed and a jade slip placed on the stone bed, there was nothing else in it.
Zhou Yang raised his hand, and the jade slip on the stone bed fell into his hands. Then his consciousness scanned the contents, and a look of both joy and worry suddenly appeared in his eyes.
What pleased him was that what was recorded in the jade slip was a secret technique of spiritual consciousness called "Taixu Divine Refining Technique".
This "Taixu Divine Refining Technique" has three levels. As long as you complete the first level, it can directly increase the strength of the monk's spiritual consciousness by 10%. If you can achieve the third level, the intensity of the spiritual consciousness can be increased by 30%.
Zhou Yang had heard of this secret technique that could enhance the intensity of spiritual consciousness before, but had never seen it before.
This is because the beings who master this secret technique are all top sects or Nascent Soul stage monks who are casual cultivators, and these beings will definitely not let ordinary monks outside easily come into contact with this secret technique.
As far as Zhou Yang knew, even within a large sect such as Xuanyang Immortal Sect, only core disciples or Jindan elders were qualified to practice this secret technique.
Now he actually obtained such a secret technique directly in this stone chamber, how could he not be delighted.
However, despite his joy, some other words included in the jade slip made him extremely worried.
According to what the being who left the jade slip said, he must complete the first level of "Taixu Divine Refining Technique" within half a year before he can walk out of this stone room, pass the test, and continue to compete for the "Holy Infant Fruit".
And if he is unable to complete the "Taixu Divine Refining Technique" before the Kunxu Realm is closed, he will even lose the chance to leave the Kunxu Realm and can only spend the rest of his life in this Kunxu Realm.
Some people may have doubts. There are so many treasures in Kunxu Realm and the aura is so rich. Isn’t it good to stay here and practice?
Anyway, as long as you can practice to the Nascent Soul stage and extend your life to three thousand years, are you still afraid that you won't be able to survive the next opening of the Kunxu Realm?
But according to what Zhou Yang learned that day from Lu Xuanji, the great elder of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, in the past, all the monks who had not left the Kunxu Realm before it was closed, either no one could see them again, or they were just like him.
Like the wooden mandrill, he turned into an inhuman monster and completely lost the chance to leave Kunxu Realm!
It can be seen from this that this Kunxu Realm is definitely not a place to stay forever.
"I still have a [Wu Dao Xuan Zhen Zhen Fruit] that I haven't taken yet. If it doesn't work, I can still use the help of this spiritual fruit to cultivate the first level of "Tai Xu Divine Refining Technique"!"
"But what should Fengxian do? Her [Xuanzhen Fruit of Enlightenment] has been used up. If she doesn't master this secret skill within the time limit, wouldn't she have to..."
Zhou Yang's face suddenly turned gloomy when he thought of this, and there was no trace of joy anymore.
