There is naturally a reason why there are words about "The Way of Transforming Dragons" in the Dragon Palace built by the Shezhao tribe.
The purpose is to allow the people in the Shezhao to let their own Gu insects take the path of transforming into dragons when raising them.
In this way, even the lowest level of Gu can have the possibility of progressing step by step and growing together with the monks of Shezhao, so that they can live up to the title of Gu.
It should be noted that Shezhao monks are good at using Gu insects, and their cultivation is closely related to Gu insects. If the Gu insects are strong, the monks will be strong, and if the Gu insects are weak, the monks will be weak.
At the same time, their relationship with the Gu worms in their hands is not like the relationship between other monks and Yin beasts.
For other monks, even if their Yin beasts are killed in battle, their souls and cultivation will not be damaged too much, but they can be replaced relatively easily. But the monks of Shezhao are different. Once their natal Gu insects are killed, they themselves may also
If you die, even if you don't die, you will be severely injured and your Taoist career will collapse.
This relationship is like a natal magic weapon for sword cultivators.
However, the Shezhao tribe did not practice swordsmanship, but a side sect, which may be called "Gu Dao".
Xu Dao pinched Nan Ke's ant king. He looked at the ant king's white and fat body, and thought to himself: "It's not a pure heresy. If the monks were ordered to raise gu worms by transforming into dragons, then it would be more than just a heresy.
Raising insects..."
"As the old centipede said before when he was refining the Immortal Ascension Fruit, once the Golden Centipede is promoted to the foundation-building realm and transforms into a monster, he can also be promoted to a Taoist priest in the foundation-building realm."
Xu Dao's eyes brightened slightly and he secretly exclaimed: "It is rumored that there was a Huanlong clan before Xian Qin. If this Shezhao tribe really followed the words on the iron wall and raised their natal Gu insects into dragons, they might be called 'Huanlongs'."
Raising voodoos and cultivating insects is just a heretical practice, and so far no one has achieved enlightenment. Even if there are people who rely on voodoos to practice to the realm of Yuanying and become real ghosts and immortals, Xu Dao has never heard of it.
But dragon transformation is different. Not to mention that there are real dragons in the world. They are entrenched in rivers, lakes and seas, and dragon palaces are spread all over the world. It is obviously a broad road.
If the words on the iron wall are true and there really is such a thing as an ancestral dragon, then this is still a road that leads to the sky.
It's just a pity that according to Xu Dao's various experiences in Sheshan, although many monks in the Shezhao tribe raised poisonous insects, and many Shezhao Taoist disciples had their own poisonous insects, they obviously did not let them go away.
The monks who were on the path to Hualong all tried to find out the weirdness and used their evil spirits to refine the Gu and fell into the lower realms.
Thinking of this, Xu Dao had to sigh:
"The ancestors of Shezhao worked so hard, worked so hard, and made countless calculations for the sake of future generations, but unexpectedly, the later generations were too prodigal and did not recognize the hard work of their ancestors and just entered the side door."
He sighed with emotion, but his eyes narrowed slightly. Since he knew that the ancestors of Shezhao worked so hard, he naturally couldn't let the efforts of the ancestors of Shezhao go to waste!
Xu Dao chuckled and whispered: "Then I will accept it happily."
On the iron wall, in addition to explaining the principle of monsters transforming into dragons, it was also mentioned how the monks of Shezhao should properly raise their natal Gu insects.
Among them, what Xu Dao is most concerned about and surprised by is the principle of foundation building.
In Shezhao's orthodox practice method, at the stage of foundation building, Shezhao monks use the poisonous insects they raise as spiritual roots, rather than simply taking the bodies of monsters.
First of all, a Taoist needs to raise his own natal Gu to a level comparable to that of a foundation-building Taoist priest. At the same time, he must also cultivate to the level of a later Taoist disciple. Then he can collect spiritual roots from the body of the Gu and integrate the Gu into the physical body.
.
This method not only solves the problem of difficult to find spiritual roots, but also because the Gu insect and the Taoist get along day and night. When the Taoist's body is implanted with the blood of the Gu insect dragon, the probability of rejection is reduced, thereby increasing the success rate of foundation building.
The only drawback may be that it is extremely difficult for Shezhao monks who are still in the realm of Taoist disciples to raise their natal Gu insects to the realm of monsters.
But even for this, the ancestors of Shezhao had already prepared for it.
The Dragon Transformation and Blood Exchange Formation is prepared for this!
This formation can not only improve the spiritual level of the entire Sheshan Mountain, but also slowly integrate the essence from the mirage into all the living creatures on the Sheshan Mountain.
This allows the Shezhao people to have the blood of mirage dragons in their bodies, making it easier for them to raise Gu insects and integrate them. At the same time, when they raise Gu animals in the mountains, the Gu animals can more easily embark on the path of transforming into dragons because they absorb the spiritual energy of the dragon's veins.
Inducing Jackie Chan.
What's more important is that the Dragon Transformation and Blood Exchange Formation will not lose its effect after the mirage is refined.
The Shezhao monks only need to fill a large number of monsters into the dragon palace, and the entire formation can plunder the life and dragon blood from the monsters for them, and help their natal Gu insects transform into dragon species.
It does not necessarily have to swallow the flesh and blood of the foundation-building monster or the golden elixir fairy. The quantity can make up for the quality. Of course, the better the quality of the flesh and blood, the better.
Xu Dao is in the Iron Tower of Dragon Palace, and his location is at the core of the formation, which is the secret room where monster essence and dragon blood accumulate.
As long as he activates the formation, the vitality of all the living creatures in the entire Dragon Palace will be absorbed into the secret room, nourishing the Gu insects and Taoists in the secret room.
Such a secret room has a unique name in the iron wall text - blood pool. The process of planting dragon blood spiritual roots in the secret room was also called "bathing in dragon blood" by the ancestors of Shezhao.
Xu Daoduan is currently sitting in the "blood pool". He has understood the process of transforming into a dragon and knows the secret of the dragon-transforming blood-exchanging formation.
In his hand, he also holds a Nanke ant king that is almost his own gu insect.
Because the Nanke wormfly is one of the original inherited gu insects in the Shezhao tribe, it is rare and rare. Its possibility of transforming into a dragon is far higher than other kinds of gu insects!
Even the specific method of planting spiritual roots that was not mentioned in Iron Wall, Xu Dao had obtained it early and tested it several times.
Xu Dao now only needs to activate the formation to plunder the vitality, and then he can transform the Nanke wormfly in his hand into a dragon seed, and then he can use the secret technique of exchanging blood, extract the bloodline spiritual root from the wormfly, and plant the spiritual root in his body!
And in the current Dragon Palace, although there are not a huge number of monsters, dragon sons and grandsons, there are a whole body of dragons. If the life force can be squeezed out, it may be enough for him to build the foundation more than a dozen times.
At this moment.
Xu Dao has everything ready, Dongfeng has nothing to lose, all he needs to do is start the forum!
Holding the Ant King, he quickly sorted out what he was about to do in his mind, and his mind couldn't help but shake.
"Building the foundation, building the foundation, we are finally going to take this step."
For a moment, Xu Dao was flooded with thoughts, which forced him to quickly clear his mind and suppress all the distracting thoughts rising in his heart.
After taking a few deep breaths, he returned to a calm state of mind again. He could hardly think of anything, only the spark of wisdom flashed in his eyes.
Xu Dao held the Ant King in his arms and immediately closed his eyes slightly. The thick energy, blood and spiritual light above his head rose up and filled the entire secret room.
His thoughts invaded the panoramic view of the Dragon Palace and began to mobilize the huge Dragon Palace formation - the Dragon Transformation and Blood Exchange Formation.
Just when Xu Dao stepped into the iron tower and activated the formation.
The mirage was wandering in the Dragon Palace, and it kept devouring blood, crushing the over 100,000 living people in the Dragon Palace into bone fragments.
Human heads were planted on its body one after another, from head to tail. Even its four legs and claws attached to the abdomen had dead human faces on them, which was really terrifying.
The six Taoist priests from Shezhao and the Taoist priest Linghu followed behind the mirage to pick up the leaks.
Every time there was a lucky person who escaped from the mirage's mouth due to various coincidences, the seven Taoist priests would immediately lie down above the opponent, lower their long hooks, and fish the opponent up.
They succeeded every time without missing a beat. Even if there were living people underneath who noticed something was wrong, the magic ropes transformed by the Taoist priests could capture the living people like tentacles, and then pull them out of the formation.
With the cooperation of the two, there was not a single living person in the huge Dragon Palace except Xu Dao and Su Jiu and Old Centipede in his bag.
Through the panoramic view of the Dragon Palace, Xu Dao glimpsed this scene. He felt incomprehensible for a moment, but he also breathed a sigh of relief secretly.
Once the formation is activated, regardless of whether it is friend or foe, all living creatures in the Dragon Palace will be drained of life by the dragon-transforming and blood-exchanging formation, and their essence will be gathered into the iron tower.
Since all 100,000 living people have been killed by the mirage, after activating the formation, he does not need to bear the karma of killing. Instead, he can avenge the 100,000 people without damaging his Taoism.
The only thing that worries Xu Dao is whether the power of the Dragon Palace Formation is really as described in Iron Wall, which can even refine monsters in the foundation-building realm alive.
"Moreover, this array has been set up for thousands of years and is dilapidated. The mirage is not a monster, but a corpse of a monster that has been raised by Taoist priests for hundreds of years and swallowed countless blood!" He thought secretly in his heart.
But at the moment, Xu Dao has no other option but to activate the formation and look forward to its effect.
He comforted himself in his mind: "Even if I can't interrupt the transformation process of the mirage dragon, as long as I can absorb more essence, it will be enough for me to build the foundation, that's all!"
With a certain thought in his mind, Xu Dao's magic power immediately surged into the iron tower crazily.
boom!
The entire Dragon Palace suddenly shook, and even the lake water weighing countless kilograms that was pressing down on the Dragon Palace began to shake, like an earth dragon turning over.
Seven Taoist priests were lying outside the dragon palace formation. They were picking their teeth and grinding their claws, obviously having a good meal. They were chatting happily.
At this time, they suddenly noticed something unexpected, and the seven Taoist priests all showed surprise in their eyes:
"Is the formation about to collapse so quickly?"
Realizing this, the eyes of the six Shezhao Taoist priests all showed surprise. At the same time, their figures shook and they faintly divided into several camps, showing fear towards each other.
But before they could make a sound again, a majestic spiritual energy immediately rose in the center of the Dragon Palace. Its light was scarlet, making the entire underground dark lake glow red.
In addition, pillars of spiritual energy were also raised around the Dragon Palace, supporting the formation, and suddenly restrained the evil spirit spreading in the palace.
The six Shezhao Taoist priests who were originally surprised were all dumbfounded. They looked at each other, and some people couldn't help but ask:
"Which of you is doing anything down there?"
A Taoist priest with sharp eyes immediately shouted: "Bah! What are you still doing in such a daze? Why don't you quickly fish out the corpse of the dragon from underneath?"
It turned out that after a total of more than a dozen spiritual energy pillars were erected in the Dragon Palace, the corpse energy mirage was swimming among them. The corpse energy and essence on its body were like opening a floodgate and draining water, flowing away crazily.
"Moo!" The dragon corpse twisted and rolled crazily. Its belly, which had been silent all this time, also moved, making a sound like a bull's roar.
Almost in the blink of an eye, many new wounds, large and small, appeared on the mirage's body. And it was visible to the naked eye that its momentum began to become depressed.
The human heads that grew on its body withered away in an instant, just like shriveled apples hanging on its body.
And in the Dragon Palace Iron Tower.
Xu Dao looked at the mirage essence sweeping in, his eyes filled with joy. He repeatedly activated the Nanke wormfly in his hand, and even began to prepare to refine the mirage essence himself.
But when the next moment, the vitality of the mirage was really gathered into the secret room, he hurriedly restrained his movements, his eyes jumped with fear.
It turns out that not only the essence of the mirage was ingested, but the thick corpse energy on its body was also gathered in the iron tower.
When this situation occurred, Xu Dao quickly cast several body protection spells to protect his body, lest it be corroded by the corpse energy.
Fortunately, the Nanke wormfly has strong adaptability, and it has been through the Black Mountains for a while, and its tolerance to corpse energy is extremely high, and it can even swallow corpse energy to make a living.
So Xu Dao could only temporarily give up on refining the mirage essence, and instead concentrate on the wormfly ant king in his hand, driving it to swallow the rolling mirage essence.
Hiss!
The secret room was ablaze with red, and Xu Dao and the Ant King seemed to be soaked in blood. The secret room of the Iron Tower was worthy of the title of "blood pool."
This is not the first time that the ant king has cultivated demonic energy. It swayed its head, and the two horn-like tentacles on top swayed. The thick essence was pulled and poured into its body continuously, almost as much as How many.
But the mirage is huge, and its energy seems to be endless. Even if the worm king can devour it, it can't keep up with the speed of the formation extraction.
When Xu Dao saw this scene, he naturally couldn't tolerate waste. Since he couldn't eat it himself, he let other crickets come to eat it too.
Buzz buzz! He also released a large number of Nanke wormflies from the wormfly flags.
Hundreds of thousands of Qi-refining level earthworms appeared, filling every corner of the iron tower, densely packed.
So many mouths swallowed up the essence of the mirage, faintly urging the formation, making the formation's ability to absorb the essence of the mirage increase a lot.
When the food gas turned into a dragon, the Ant King and the ants under his command all turned red, as red as jade, and their demonic aura continued to rise.
The essence of the mirage turned into mist, and even condensed into dewdrops, hanging on the body surface of each mirage like blood.
Xu Dao looked at the scene in front of him, and the four words on the iron wall echoed in his mind:
