When Yuanfeng's bloodline further merged with Shen Lang's physical body and soul, Yuanfeng's soul seemed to evolve from its infancy and completely merged with Shen Lang, no longer distinguishable from each other.
This seems to be a good thing, but at the cost, Shen Lang cannot let Yuan Feng's soul out of his body like before.
According to past experience, when Shen Lang's own Yuanfeng bloodline reaches a certain level, he can even transform into Yuanfeng's posture and master the powerful magical powers given by Yuanfeng's bloodline.
It's a pity that Shen Lang's own bloodline power is not that strong yet, and if he wants to transform into Yuanfeng's posture, he has extremely strict requirements on physical strength.
Although Shen Lang cultivated an immortal golden body, it was not enough just to have an immortal golden body.
Unless one can practice the Nine-turn Taoist Sutra to the fifth level of Dzogchen and reach the state of "eternal golden body", one cannot transform into the Yuan Phoenix form.
Shen Lang failed to meet both of his demands, and was now in an awkward position.
Fortunately, he had almost reached the end of the second floor of the Demon Suppression Tower, and it probably wouldn't take long to cross the last floor on foot.
Compared to the improvement in cultivation and soul, the shortcoming of being unable to let Yuanfeng's spirit out of the body is nothing.
Rather than saying it is a flaw, letting the power of blood transform into a soul to leave the body is quite dangerous in itself. It is a major weakness of Shen Lang. This improvement in the power of blood can be regarded as repairing this weakness and flaw.
After stabilizing his cultivation for a while, Shen Lang stood up and took a breath, feeling very good.
"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Shen for your great improvement in cultivation!"
Duan Lei stepped forward quickly, faced Shen Lang and clasped his fists in congratulations, with a look of shock on his face.
As a monk at the peak of the late Daluo period, Duan Lei could detect with his naked eye that the aura fluctuations released by Shen Lang were significantly stronger, which was a sign of a huge increase in cultivation.
"Haha, it's just a small improvement. Fellow Taoist Duan is so complimentary!" Shen Lang shook his head and laughed.
Duan Lei felt ashamed, this was not a small improvement.
It may take millions or even tens of millions of years for a monk to reach Daluo Jinxian to improve even a little bit of cultivation. The method of improving cultivation like Shen Lang's is simply unparalleled!
Duan Lei also thought that Shen Lang had been covering up his cultivation level. It turned out that it was not a cover-up. He was indeed only at the middle stage of Daluo, but his strength was far beyond that of a monk at the same level.
Shen Lang was able to kill Nangong Yao with his cultivation level in the middle stage of Da Luo. His strength is truly unimaginable.
Now, due to the advancement of bloodline power, his cultivation level has been raised to the peak of the middle stage of Daluo, which shows Shen Lang's great potential. Duan Lei is grateful for his previous choice of team.
Shen Lang explained that he could not summon Yuan Feng's soul, and then said in a deep voice: "Without further delay, let's continue."
"good."
Duan Lei nodded in response.
The two walked through the valley and headed towards the end of the second level.
The passage leading to the first floor of the Demon Suppression Tower is located in front of a cliff outside the valley.
Below the cliff is a bottomless abyss with billowing black air, giving people a terrifying and eerie feeling.
"Is this abyss the exit from the second level?"
Shen Lang frowned, released his Shura Holy Eyes and glanced into the abyss.
The abyss is filled with thick black mist, and the black mist is mixed with the extremely rich aura of death and reincarnation. If an ordinary Immortal Luo Tian is placed in this black mist, I am afraid that his body will be entangled in the aura of death and rot in an instant.
die.
The death energy in this abyss is even stronger than the death energy in the hell abyss!
Even a Daluo Jinxian with extremely high cultivation level such as Duan Lei may not be immune to the influence of this death aura.
Back then, Shen Lang entered the abyss of hell with his soul body, so he was not affected by the death energy.
But the physical body is different. Once the physical body is eroded by such a strong death energy, even Duan Lei will experience an almost irreversible decline in lifespan.
"Duan has seen some descriptions of the deepest part of the Demon Suppressing Tower in the Shushan Sect's classics. According to the book, the deepest part of the Demon Suppressing Tower is indeed the place where death energy gathers."
Duan Lei said solemnly.
"That being the case, then this eighth level of the abyss is the entrance to the first level." Shen Lang fixed his gaze on the abyss below and said with a solemn expression.
"That should be the case!" Duan Lei nodded slightly.
Shen Lang said in a deep voice: "Shen has the power of Shen Nong to protect his body. The death energy in this abyss cannot hurt me, but I don't know if there are any powerful evil things in the abyss."
"In case a powerful evil thing appears, Shen will not be completely sure to protect Fellow Daoist Duan. How about Fellow Daoist Duan just wait for Shen's return on the edge of the cliff?"
Duan Lei felt ashamed and said: "Duan has dragged down Fellow Daoist Shen a lot along the way. He really has no shame in following Fellow Daoist Shen anymore. However, according to the notes left by the ancestors of Shu Mountain, there may be Deng Yin on the first floor of the Demon Suppression Tower. The hidden mechanism set up back then exists, and Duan's 'Purple Qiong Sword' is needed as a key to open the mechanism."
"Because of this, Duan has no choice but to follow Fellow Daoist Shen to the first floor... But fellow Daoist Shen, don't worry, Duan already knew about the deathly energy permeating the first floor of the Demon Suppression Tower, and was actually prepared for it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Lei took out a treasure box and opened it.
"Bah!"
There are two exquisite and small white spiritual fruits in the treasure box, which release extremely powerful white light and contain indescribable vitality. They are like the light of purification, which seems to be able to wash away all the filth in the world.
"This is the Xuanyang Fruit. The fruit is rich in extremely large vitality and yang energy. After being eaten, it can resist the energy of reincarnation, death and even most of the curses!"
Duan Lei took out the spiritual fruit from the treasure box and explained in a leisurely manner.
Shen Lang raised his eyebrows. He had heard of the name Xuanyang Fruit. This fruit is rich in vitality and yang energy, which is no less than that of some heaven and earth spiritual seeds. It can indeed be used to resist the energy of reincarnation, death and powerful curses. force.
"Since Fellow Daoist Duan has already prepared, it would be a good thing to act together. You and I will just have someone to take care of us."
Shen Lang was embarrassed to attack Duan Lei and said politely.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shen, for agreeing."
Duan Lei clasped his fists, and then said: "Duan only needs to swallow one Xuanyang fruit, and leave the remaining one to Fellow Daoist Shen. Although Fellow Daoist Shen has the power of Shen Nong to protect his body, but To be on the safe side, it’s better to swallow a Xuanyang Fruit.”
Having said that, Duan Lei wanted to hand Shen Lang a Xuanyang Fruit in the treasure box.
Shen Lang waved his hand and refused: "Shen is confident, so there is no need for Fellow Daoist Duan to waste a Xuanyang Fruit in vain."
"Although this Xuanyang Fruit has amazing energy, its effectiveness is estimated to only last for a few hours. We don't know what is going on on the first floor of the Demon Suppression Tower for the time being. Fellow Daoist Duan can keep the remaining fruit for himself in case of emergency. Use it according to the situation." Shen Lang added.
"good."
Duan Lei responded and then swallowed a Xuanyang Fruit.
A huge vitality energy exploded in his belly. Soon, Duan Lei's skin and flesh were filled with brilliant white light energy, and the Xuanyang Fruit began to take effect.
