Chapter 86: Great Rise in Cultivation, Sect Changes
In the cave sky.
In a place filled with the aura of death, Cao Xiu and the incarnation of the golden corpse sat opposite each other.
Since Cao Xiu condensed the Tao of Death in his body, he is no longer afraid of the erosion of the aura of death. Even if he leaves the hilltop and is in a cave filled with death aura, he can move freely.
In fact, after he refined the Golden Corpse Sacrifice into an external incarnation, he was able to bring the Golden Corpse into the restricted area by covering it with his own aura.
However, in the vast cave world, only this small hilltop still had life. He didn't want the death energy from the incarnation of the golden corpse to contaminate this place, so he chose to go out on his own and practice with the help of the golden corpse.
At this time, there was a pill that was completely black and filled with a strong aura of death suspended in front of the golden corpse. It was the corpse pill that the golden corpse had condensed from the essence of its body after practicing for many years!
But now, wisps of black energy were rising from the Corpse Pill, which was inhaled by Cao Xiu.
This is the purest power within the golden body.
Although the most powerful thing about the Golden Corpse is its body, the power contained in this Corpse Pill is still so powerful that Cao Xiu was frightened.
If he hadn't taken advantage of the golden corpse's injury and suppressed it with the bronze corpse ring, how could such a powerful being be reduced to the point of being sacrificed and transformed into an incarnation by him.
But now, this incarnation is indeed consuming its own original death energy and achieving Cao Xiu!
As strands of black energy were inhaled into Cao Xiu's body, they were transformed over and over again through the meridians and acupoints throughout his body, and finally integrated into his death path.
Therefore, Cao Xiu's Death Tao Seed is rapidly becoming larger and stronger.
In just about three months, it gradually changed from the size of a peanut and an illusory appearance to the size of a pigeon egg, black as ink, and as solid as a pearl!
But unlike the Pure Yang Tao Type, the Death Tao Type is as silent as a dead thing on the surface, but it is full of weirdness. If you stare at it for a long time, you can feel that there are countless ghosts and evil spirits hidden inside, and all kinds of terrifying scenes are evolving.
Such visions indicate that the Death Tao Seed is no longer weaker than the Pure Yang Tao Seed.
This is the benefit of having a powerful incarnation to assist you in your practice!
However, as his strength increased, Cao Xiu gradually began to control the growth of the death path.
Otherwise, if the yin and yang are out of balance and the death energy is stronger than the pure yang force, his body may be filled with death energy, which is detrimental to his practice.
Therefore, he had to ensure that his pure Yang Qi could keep up with the growth rate of the Death Tao Seed.
Fortunately, although there is no pure yang clone, there is the red lotus holy fire to help, so the pure yang Tao seed cultivation speed is not too slow!
Under the special method of "Six Extremes of Holy Demon Art", the two powers complemented each other, just like the sun and the moon, taking turns, washing his body over and over again.
Even if the tempering of the death energy will cause some damage to his body, it will soon be repaired after the pure Yang energy passes, and it will even become stronger than before.
So Cao Xiu's physical body is getting stronger at an extremely fast speed.
If he could only be compared to the monks who were in the early stage of losing their mortal body, now he is no weaker than the monks who have completely lost their mortal body and are refining their Tao body.
After each tempering session, Cao Xiu spent the rest of his time trying to figure out the "Nine Layers of Heavenly Law" that he had learned from his sect!
This is the cultivation method he puts on the surface. Although it is not as valued as the "Six Extremes Holy Demon Technique", with the assistance of various elixirs and spiritual fruits, the Da Luo Qi in his body is no longer weaker than that of ordinary outer sects.
Disciple.
Although the supporting magical powers of "Nine Layers of Heaven" cannot be formed due to insufficient realm, the simplified version of the spell of Heaven and Earth Net can be tried to be cast.
So Cao Xiu began to concentrate on condensing the true essence threads while practicing.
From being as thick as a finger at first, to being as thin as a hairspring!
Of course, just condensing the threads is not enough. In order to quickly cast this spell, he also needs to engrave spell runes in his body, and then extend each thread to interweave it into a dragnet!
At the beginning, he struggled to cast it, and it took him a long time to form a large net.
But with practice again and again, the casting speed has become faster and faster, and the snare can take shape in at most two breaths.
Although it is a simplified version of the dragnet, due to the characteristics of this spell, it can still play a huge role in combat. When paired with the tyrannical combat power of the "Six Extremes of Holy Demon Art", it is simply perfect.
"Bang bang bang!"
That day, as soon as Cao Xiu woke up from practicing, he heard someone knocking on the door outside.
He stood up and left the cave, stretched out his hand to open the door, and glared at Shen Xu outside the door angrily: "You guys, are you trying to break my door?"
"How can I? Didn't I come here to see my senior brother?"
Shen Xu entered the room with a playful smile, and just asked: "What's going on with you? You stopped playing in seclusion and practicing, just didn't do tasks, why didn't you even go and listen to the elders' sermons?
How can we work behind closed doors like this? One person is working hard alone without fear of making mistakes!"
Cao Xiu saw the sullen look on his face and immediately understood: "What, what do you mean by what you said?"
"Ha ha!"
Hearing this, Shen Xu opened the folding fan and waved it twice: "You are just not talented, but you have been promoted to the mortal world a month ago!
Among the disciples who started in the same group as us, apart from those guys with profound backgrounds, I was the first to advance to the realm of mortal transformation!"
When he spoke, he raised his chin slightly, looking very proud!
"Well, not bad!"
Cao Xiu nodded lightly in approval.
"What do you mean it's not bad?"
When Shen Xu heard this, he immediately became unhappy: "Senior brother, do you know that my current level of cultivation in the outer sect is..."
Shen Xu was about to show off when his eyes suddenly widened!
Because he suddenly discovered that Cao Xiu's aura was much stronger than his own.
"Senior brother, have you already begun to condense the Dharmakaya?"
"What's so strange about this?"
Cao Xiu pretended to be indifferent and responded.
Although he refining his body when he left, he is different from ordinary monks in the Mortal Realm, but the tempering of his body will only be stronger than that of ordinary monks!
"Right!"
Shen Xu nodded.
After all, Cao Xiu originally benefited more from the Lin family than he did, so it is not unacceptable to practice faster than himself.
"cough!"
He coughed lightly and said: "Senior brother, actually the main reason I came here this time is to tell you that in a while it will be time for the outer sect competition.
Although we just started this year, it stands to reason that we are not as good as those old disciples, and it is difficult to get the qualifications to join the inner sect.
However, I heard that because the situation in the cultivation world has changed in the past hundred years, the inner sect is also making adjustments. It no longer simply selects disciples based on the rankings of the outer sect competitions, and may make changes.
So I want to remind senior brother to make preparations early. If possible, you might be able to enter the inner gate in advance!"
