For a monk at the ninth level of the Golden Core to reach the Nascent Soul Stage, the results will not be achieved within three to five years.
Even those monks who use it faster still need more than ten years to succeed, and even if it takes twenty years to succeed, it is not strange.
This is why Zhou Yang rushed Jiang Fengxian to find a place to prepare a baby when he was on Peach Blossom Island.
Now Jiang Fengxian is in retreat and entering the Nascent Soul stage. While he is protecting the beauty, he also comprehends and practices the magical power of [Golden Photovoltaic Curse].
Basically everyone can practice this [Golden Photovoltaic Curse] magical power, but if you want to achieve something, you have to accumulate it bit by bit through hard work.
In addition, this method of cultivating magical powers is quite strange. It requires the practitioner to bathe in the sun, make dharma seals with his hands, recite the true formula orally, and collect the essence of the sun every day to condense a "golden light to subdue demons."
According to the records of the method of cultivating magical powers deciphered by Zhou Yang, a monk who practices this magical power for the first time needs to continue practicing for a thousand days before he can get started with magical powers. If he wants to practice magical powers to a small level, he will not be able to do so without twenty or thirty years of practice.
It's possible.
But after he practiced, he unexpectedly discovered that it only took him about five hundred days to successfully gain access to supernatural powers.
This unexpected discovery made Zhou Yang puzzled at first, because from the simple practice requirements of this [Golden Photovoltaic Curse], it can be seen that this is definitely the kind of magical power that there is no shortcut to achieve quickly.
However, when he asked his daughter Jiang Yufeng to try to practice this magical power, and after asking about her practice experience, Zhou Yang guessed the reason for his rapid progress.
This reason is said to have something to do with the golden elixir phenomenon "the sun falls into the arms" that was caused when he formed the elixir.
Because of the golden elixir phenomenon of "the sun falling into his arms", his spiritual root qualifications were upgraded to the high-grade spiritual root level, and he was able to practice fire magical powers much more smoothly than ordinary monks.
Over the years, he has practiced various fire magic powers, and it has indeed been smooth sailing, without encountering any particularly difficult obstacles.
[Golden Photovoltaic Magic Curse] It is necessary to collect the essence of the great sun to condense the "golden light of subduing demons". If someone collects the essence of the great sun faster than others, then the speed of practice will naturally be the same.
The Great Sun Essence is not an ordinary spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Under the same cultivation level, the collection speed of each immortal cultivator will be similar and will not be affected by factors such as spiritual root qualifications and techniques.
Zhou Yang was an exception. After much deliberation, he found that apart from the reason for the original golden elixir phenomenon of "the sun falling into his arms", there could be no other reasons.
This discovery made him very happy.
The reason why he was happy was not only because it would save him half the time of practicing magical powers, but more importantly, because he could finally surpass other monks in a certain cultivation talent.
Time passed quickly, and soon sixteen years had passed since Jiang Fengxian went into seclusion and had a baby.
Sixteen years have passed, Zhou Yang has diligently cultivated his magical power every day, and has practiced the [Golden Photovoltaic Curse] to a small level of success, and can truly use this magical power in actual combat.
On this day, Zhou Yang left the cave as usual and went to a hidden place on the island outside to practice the daily [Golden Photovoltaic Curse] magical power.
Now that he has discovered his talent in cultivating this magical power, of course he cannot waste this talent, and cannot slack off just because he has already achieved some success in his magical power.
Perhaps this magical power will become the first magical power that he can cultivate to the level of Dacheng on his own in the future.
However, when he was halfway through the practice, Zhou Yang's expression suddenly changed. He was reciting the true formula orally and making seals with his hands. He suddenly let go of his hands and stood up. His eyes looked towards the direction of the cave in surprise.
"Is it finally going to work?"
His face flashed with joy, and he quickly set off and rushed back to the cave.
As soon as he returned to the cave, his daughter Jiang Yufeng came up to him with a look of surprise on his face.
"Dad, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is moving. Is it mother, is she going to have a baby?"
Jiang Yufeng looked at Zhou Yang excitedly, her eyes full of joy.
"Feng'er, please don't get excited. This is the most critical time. The aura of heaven and earth is changing. The movement will become louder as it goes on. Many monsters will definitely be attracted to it, and even the monster king will be alarmed!"
Zhou Yang looked at his excited daughter and warned in a serious voice: "Next, my father will go outside to guard, so you will stay in this cave and stay there. No matter what happens outside, don't leave the cave even half a step."
!”
When Jiang Yufeng heard what he said, the joy on her face suddenly dimmed. She nodded with firm eyes and said, "My daughter understands. Don't worry, dad. Even if I risk my life, my daughter will never let my mother be disturbed in the slightest!"
The situation is the same as what Zhou Yang said. As time goes by, the changes in the aura of heaven and earth on "Demon Killing Island" quickly spread to the surrounding sea areas.
When the monsters living in the sea discovered that all the spiritual energy was converging towards the "Demon Killing Island", they would instinctively come over to check the situation.
And when the monsters in the sea farther away see the aura rising into the sky above the "Devil Killing Island" to form colorful spiritual clouds, they will also think that some strange treasure has been born here, so they rush over to fight for the treasure.
At first, only some low- and middle-level monsters came here, but after Zhou Yang had the [Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast] kill them, they were frightened.
However, as the movement became louder and louder, some fifth-level monsters thousands of miles away also sensed the changes here, and came all the way to check on the situation.
The fifth-level monsters were all invincible with their wisdom. When they arrived near the "Demon Killing Island", they soon realized that there was not some strange treasure born, but that human race cultivators were here to attack the sixth-level realm.
After discovering this situation, how could these fifth-level monsters watch helplessly?
Immediately, these fifth-level monsters sent the fast monsters to the Demon King's Cave to report the situation to the Demon King who was stationed in "Tianlan Waihai", while they jointly drove a large number of monsters to launch an attack on the island.
Driven by high-level monsters, all kinds of shrimps, crabs, snakes, fish and other monsters landed continuously from various places on the "Demon Killing Island" and rushed towards the central peak, acting as cannon fodder to open the way for testing.
Zhou Yang had already deployed several formations around the cave at this time. As soon as these cannon fodder beasts stepped into the formation area, they would be immediately killed by the attacks formed by the formation.
However, he has limited energy alone and cannot personally preside over so many formations. Without the formations presided over by immortal cultivators, even if he uses the above-grade spiritual stones as energy sources for several formations at any cost, he will not be able to operate hundreds or even thousands of formations.
How long can it last under the attack of monsters?
However, within the past three days, several unattended formations he had set up were all destroyed by monsters, leaving only one [Water Dragon Raging Wave Formation] that he personally presided over still intact.
[Water Dragon Raging Wave Formation] is a fifth-level high-grade killing formation, and it is presided over by Zhou Yang, a ninth-level golden elixir monk. It cannot be shaken by some low- to mid-level monsters.
Those fifth-level monsters who were hiding in the sea and driving monsters to attack the island understood this truth after a few trials and had to stop driving low-level monsters to death.
In fact, they can't stop if they don't stop. Although there are many monsters in the sea, there is a limit.
In a hurry, the only monsters they could control were those in the sea with a radius of thousands of miles. Among them, they also had to eliminate many fish monsters that could not go ashore to fight, or whose combat effectiveness would be greatly weakened after landing.
The total number of monsters that can be driven by them to attack the island is only a few thousand, and now most of these monsters have been killed in the previous offensive.
Low-level monsters are not available, and these fifth-level monsters can only bring some fourth-level monsters to the field.
A total of six fifth-level demonic beasts and more than fifty fourth-level demonic beasts appeared outside the [Water Dragon Raging Wave Formation], and then used various spells to attack the formation.
Venom, lightning, wind blades, water arrows...the attack formed by dozens of high-level monsters is extremely impressive.
The [Water Dragon Raging Wave Formation], which is not focused on defense, was shaking violently under this wave of attack, and it looked like it was failing.
But before the demonic beasts who took action showed joy, twelve golden sword threads suddenly flew out from the formation and instantly pierced the heads of twelve fourth-level demonic beasts.
Twelve kills in one strike!
Zhou Yang's counterattack was equally fierce.
He used the profound swordsmanship of "Flying Swords to Transform into Silk" to kill twelve fourth-level monsters with one blow. He immediately made a sword seal with both hands, and the twelve golden flying swords that showed the original shape of the flying swords formed several swords.
The formation strangled the monsters outside the formation.
At the same time, the [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast] suddenly burst out of the formation. The golden horns above its head flashed with golden light, and a sharp golden light instantly cut off the head of a fifth-level low-grade eel demon.
Zhou Yang and Bi'er's master and servant teamed up to frighten the monsters attacking the island in an instant. Soon some fourth-level monsters were frightened by the twelve golden life-threatening sword lights and fled howling miserably.
onto the battlefield.
And as Zhou Yang subsequently used [Garrison Earth Sacred Mountain] to smash another huge fifth-level mid-level fish monster into meat pie, the remaining fifth-level monsters also became frightened and did not dare to stay there any longer.
On the island, they fled back to the sea.
Zhou Yang did not chase after him, he just stayed in the formation and never left.
He knew very well that these monsters were just appetizers, and the truly powerful monsters had not arrived yet.
He must retain his mana and means to deal with the powerful monsters that will come later.
"Master, the stronger fifth-level monsters in the nearby sea are undoubtedly the [Golden Claw Crab] in the cold water stream, the [Octopod Monster] in the Dark Abyss, and the [Two-Headed Python] in the Black Forest. Each of them is only weaker than me.
Little by little, if we come here all at once, I can only block one of them at most!"
During the formation, Bi'er secretly looked at Zhou Yang who was meditating to recover his mana. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered the information he knew.
It is the owner of the "Demon Killing Island". How could it not know what powerful monsters there are in the nearby waters?
"None of the monsters you mentioned are worth fearing. The one who can really threaten me is the monster king."
Zhou Yang raised his head and glanced at the spiritual pet that had not yet completely returned to his heart. He shook his head slightly, not caring about its worries.
With his current strength, unless he is besieged by dozens of fifth-level monsters, he doesn't have to worry about being unable to defend himself.
But that situation is simply impossible to happen.
Half a day later, a two-headed sea snake with two heads, black and blue, appeared outside the "Demon Killing Island". It was the [Double-Headed Python] that Bi'er said, a powerful fifth-level high-grade monster.
Not long after, the fifth-level high-grade monster [Golden Claw Crab] with two large golden claws, and the giant octopus monster with eight super-long tentacles rushed outside the island.
The arrival of these three fifth-level high-grade monsters gave those fifth-level monsters that had previously fled into the sea great courage and encouragement. They quickly gathered around these three powerful monsters and attacked the island again.
"Those three monsters, you can just pick one to deal with, and leave the rest to me!"
During the formation, Zhou Yang stood up, looked at the group of monsters in the distance with a calm face, and whispered his decision.
Then he took the initiative to rush out of the formation and directly attacked the group of monsters.
Bang!
With a loud noise, the hundred-foot-high [Gutu Sacred Mountain] hit a blue giant shrimp, smashing the fifth-level mid-level monster into pieces on the spot.
Then a dragon roar rose into the sky, and a blue-gold dragon roared into the sky, instantly shattering a light red fifth-level flying fish monster with four wings on its back into a rain of blood that filled the sky.
Zhou Yang, who transformed into a half-dragon and half-human form after using the magical power of [Blue Dragon Transformation], was like an unparalleled killing god who stepped out of the demon world, and soon caused a bloody storm among the demons.
His physical body is stronger than all the monsters here. Even in a head-to-head encounter, no monster can steadily defeat him.
He holds a golden pagoda on his head and is surrounded by golden light, which neutralizes most of the innate magical attacks of the monsters. Even if some attacks can break the golden light and fall on him, they will be blocked by the green-gold dragon scales on his body.
Of course, not all monsters are as unbearable as those two monsters. At least the [Golden Claw Crab] and the [Octopod Monster] are quite extraordinary in strength and can fight with him in a few moves.
[Golden Claw Crab] not only has excellent defense, but also has sharp attacks.
With one pinch of its pincers, it can release a line of golden light that cuts through everything. Its power is no less powerful than the golden light emitted by the horns on the head of the [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast].
The eight tentacles of [Octopus Monster] are multi-functional. They can not only emit strong suction to capture enemies, but also serve as attack weapons like whips. They also have strong regeneration and recovery capabilities and can be used as human shields.
Zhou Yang was indeed a little disgraced by the two monster beasts joining forces at first.
But as he understood the methods of the two monster beasts, he quickly launched a counterattack targeting the weaknesses of the two monster beasts.
When the [Golden Claw Crab] clamped its pincers and activated the golden divine channel to attack him again, he thought, and the golden pagoda suspended above his head blocked in front of him, blocking it with the hard body of the magic weapon.
this attack.
Then Zhou Yang danced his fists, and green-gold dragon shadows flew all over the sky, shattering all the tentacles that the [Octopod Monster] hit and sending them flying away.
The difference is that this time, he didn't give the [Octopod Monster] a chance to recover from the tentacles' injuries, and directly swung his claws to throw out a large ball of golden real fire that fell on those tentacles.
[Qianyang True Fire] Zhiyang Zhiyang, in addition to having a strong restraint effect on the power of demons, it also has a high temperature that melts everything.
These golden real fires fell on the tentacles of the [Ectopus Monster], and the rich aroma of barbecue immediately filled Zhou Yang's mouth and nose, reminding him of one of his favorite barbecue foods in his previous life, "charcoal-grilled squid tentacles."
What a long enough memory!
He sighed in his heart, and with a movement of his body, he soon appeared behind the [Golden Claw Crab]. A pair of green-gold dragon claws suddenly grabbed one of the opponent's crab legs, and used it as a fulcrum to lift it and throw it towards Madness. The [Octopod] dances its tentacles in an attempt to extinguish the golden flames above.
Even after turning into a half-human and half-dragon, Zhou Yang was only over ten feet tall, while the [Golden Claw Crab] stood at least a dozen feet tall.
But just like that, he picked up the [Golden Claw Crab] that was more than ten feet tall and threw it away!
This may seem unbelievable, but it is actually normal.
A strong physical body will of course possess strong power.
Brute force is of little use in fighting immortal cultivators, because the immortal cultivators will not give other people a chance to hit them with their fists.
But in the battle with monsters, brute force is also a very useful force, no weaker than some magical powers.
Although the [Octopod Monster] and the [Golden Claw Crab] are in the same group, this does not mean that its attack will not cause damage to the [Golden Claw Crab].
In fact, because Zhou Yang chose to fight in close quarters, the other monsters did not dare to get involved in the battlefield between him and the [Golden Claw Crab] and [Ectopus Monster]. They only used magic powers to support them from a distance, just for fear of Was accidentally injured by friendly forces.
While the two monster beasts were entangled together, Zhou Yang opened his mouth and sprayed out, and three [Xuantian Fire Thunder Beads] fell on the two monster beasts at the same time.
Boom boom boom!
The flames soared into the sky, and the eight hundred-foot-long tentacles of the [Octopod Monster] were instantly blown into countless fragments and scattered all over the battlefield. This time it should not be able to recover quickly.
The [Golden Claw Crab] was even worse. It was used as a shield for the [Octopod Monster], absorbing a large wave of explosion damage. The hard crab shell cracked with countless cracks in the explosion, except for the two large crab claws. All eight crab legs were blown off and flew away.
The legless crab can still fly, but it can no longer pose any threat to Zhou Yang.
"go!"
Zhou Yang waved his dragon claw, and the golden pagoda suspended above his head flew towards the two monsters.
If his natal magic weapon is used to hit people, its power will not be much weaker than that of the [Garrison Earth Sacred Mountain].
The pagoda fell from the sky. Out of instinct, [Golden Claw Crab] immediately raised two large crab claws to hold the pagoda up.
It also possesses great strength. Even without the support of other crab legs, it still withstood the suppression of the pagoda, and its body only sank slightly.
But at this time, the [Octopod Monster], which had all eight tentacles blown off, suddenly sprayed out a large jet-black ink cloud, covering itself and the nearby [Golden Claw Crab] in it, and then quickly turned into a cloud of black ink. The black light escaped from the battlefield and flew directly to the sea outside the island.
This scene was not only beyond Zhou Yang's expectation, but also made the [Golden Claw Crab] and other monsters panic.
Immediately, several fifth-level monsters that were originally helping out on the outside immediately fled to the sea with all their might.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang's eyes moved slightly, but in the end he did not pursue him, but just looked at the [Golden Claw Crab] that was sold by his companions.
"It depends on how you resist!"
With a chuckle on his face, Zhou Yang waved his dragon claw, and the [Gutu Sacred Mountain] fell from the sky and stacked on top of the golden pagoda.
This time, the [Golden Claw Crab] could not withstand it, and was immediately pushed to the ground, turning into a crab cake.
"My lord is so powerful, this big crab dares to go against me, it's really not a pity to die!"
[Water-avoiding golden-eyed beast] came on the clouds and looked at the [golden-clawed crab] crushed into crab cakes on the ground. A look of fear flashed in its eyes, and then it quickly put on a happy look and complimented Zhou Yang loudly.
Got up.
It turned out that after seeing the [Octopod] and other monsters escape, the [Two-Headed Python] that fought with it also fled directly back to the sea, and of course it would not pursue it.
"As long as you understand this!"
Zhou Yang took a deep look at the spiritual pet that had not completely returned to his heart, waved his hand, took back the two magic weapons, and then put the body of the [Golden Claw Crab] into the storage ring.
He may not look down on the corpses of other fifth-level monsters, but this [Golden Claw Crab] is different. The two crab claws of this monster have absorbed a large amount of five elements of gold and have become a special spirit.
Gold is an excellent material for refining flying swords.
In the two battles to attack the island, several fifth-level monsters were lying dead on the island. The monsters in the sea that had gathered because Jiang Fengxian had given birth to a baby finally understood that with their little strength, they could not interrupt the birth of the human monk.
Therefore, in the next two days, these monster beasts did not launch any attacks, but just waited in the sea outside the island, waiting for the arrival of the monster king who was stationed in "Tianlan Waihai".
In the past two days, Zhou Yang clearly sensed that Jiang Fengxian's aura in the cave was infinitely close to that of the early Nascent Soul monks he had come into contact with, and it reached its peak on the morning of the third day.
"Fengxian should have started to overcome the [Inner Demon Tribulation] now, right?"
Zhou Yang looked up at the rising sun in the sky, a look of worry flashing in his eyes.
[Inner Demon Tribulation] is the most powerful difficulty faced by the cultivators who have become infants. Throughout the ages, countless talented monks with amazing talents have all fallen sadly in front of this level, and their thousand-year cultivation has been lost in one fell swoop.
"The Nascent Soul is easy to become, but the inner demons are difficult to overcome." This is a widely circulated saying, even some monks in the foundation building stage have heard of it.
Zhou Yang knew that Jiang Fengxian had two flaws. One was that she was abandoned by her biological father before she was born, so she had been brooding about this matter since she was a child. She determined to form a Nascent Soul and go to the settlement of the "Tianfeng Clan" in the future.
Find the biological father and seek justice for the biological mother.
The second is that he was imprisoned in the Goddess Palace for decades, and his daughter Jiang Yufeng was treated as a piece of merchandise and sold to the Yulong family, which almost became a lifelong regret.
These two flaws will definitely be exploited by the inner demon in the [Inner Demon Tribulation].
But because these two flaws are not flaws that Jiang Fengxian can make up for before she successfully conceives a baby, they have become a breakthrough that she can take advantage of.
If she can stick to her original intention and see the origin clearly when the inner demon takes advantage of these two flaws, she can turn the crisis into safety and directly survive the [Inner Demon Tribulation].
"Coming!"
Suddenly, Zhou Yang stood up from the ground and looked at the sky above him with an extremely solemn expression.
I saw a flash of blue water in the sky, and a strange man holding a black halberd appeared.
The reason why he is called a weirdo is because although this person looks like a human, his exposed skin is a layer of black cuticle armor, and his head is simply a seahorse head.
Zhou Yang knew that this was the demon king guarding "Tianlan Waihai", the sixth-level low-grade demon king "Black Bone Demon King".
This "Black Bone Demon King" has actually been a sixth-level demon king for less than a thousand years. He can't even transform into a complete human form. His strength is relatively low at the level of a demon king.
The Jiaolong clan placed it here "outside the sea" with the intention of training it. After all, compared to those old demons, a demon king like it who can't even fully transform is still very immature.
