The star snail treasure ship is flying in the Gangfeng layer, and the formation is constantly being consumed. The further inside, the greater the shaking of the ship's hull.
Seeing this scene, Xu Dao thought to himself: "It would be great if the eighth meridian in the ship's hull had not been destroyed the last time he escaped."
Although the current star snail treasure ship is still a magic weapon of the Gang Refining level and has undergone many careful maintenance and repairs, it fell into the Gang Wind layer and can still barely resist it. I don't know when it will be unable to hold up.
The hull will be damaged.
But even so, Xu Dao stood in the boat and still watched with cold eyes. At most, he adjusted the speed of the star snail treasure ship flying upward to reduce the wear and tear of the treasure ship by the strong wind.
As for himself, not only did he not expend mana to assist the Star Snail Treasure Ship, he instead sat cross-legged, even closed his eyes and rested.
At present, Xu Dao has not yet reached the height where he wants to collect Gang Qi. He needs to save every bit of mana in his body and must not waste energy easily.
It is precisely because of this consideration that whether it is the dragon that helps the treasure ship ascend to the sky to absorb water, the treasure ship itself, or the earthworm flags used for self-protection... to Xu Dao, they are just foreign objects, originally used to withstand damage for him.
Not worth caring about.
Xu Dao was even mentally prepared for the Star Snail Treasure Ship to be scrapped after this refining.
clank!
While he was concentrating with his eyes closed, the star snail treasure ship continued to rotate upwards, carrying the strong wind, and the strong energy hitting the hull turned into sword-like sounds, shuddering.
The talisman coins piled up like a hill inside the treasure ship also burned quickly and turned into spiritual energy, supporting the treasure ship's continuous upward movement.
A quarter of an hour, five quarters of an hour... two or three hours passed.
As it went deeper and deeper into the strong wind layer, the treasure ship's speed became slower and slower, and it had to stop and stabilize the ship from time to time to avoid being swept away by the increasingly turbulent strong wind around it.
But even so, the treasure ship had moved sideways for who knows how many miles and was lost in the strong wind layer.
Buzz! The hull of the star snail treasure ship trembled violently again.
This time the shaking was more violent than before. Xu Dao, who was resting with his eyes closed, frowned slightly. Before he could open his eyes, another violent impact appeared outside the treasure ship.
With a thud, the treasure ship turned somersaults high in the air, shaking up and down.
Upon noticing such a change, Xu Dao's eyes jumped slightly and he quickly connected his consciousness to the treasure ship.
"Did you encounter a turbulent flow of Gang Qi?"
He opened his eyes and looked around the treasure ship, and sure enough he saw strong waves of Gang Qi swirling around, forming a whirlpool that shimmered with different colors of light. The star snail treasure ship was spinning in this whirlpool, being devastated.
Seeing this, Xu Dao knew that he had to take action, otherwise the treasure ship might be destroyed in vain.
Without any hesitation, he immediately injected his magic power into the hull, tried his best to stabilize the treasure ship, and then controlled the treasure ship to move away from the turbulent flow of Gang Qi.
The treasure ship measuring inch by inch and dozens of feet in size was struggling in the turbulent currents.
Xu Dao somewhat underestimated the difficulty of the fight, so he had to work harder again and use 50% of his magic power.
The spiritual light flickered, the talisman money in the treasure ship burned rapidly, and the true energy in Xu Dao's body was also rapidly consumed, but the treasure ship's speed of breaking free also accelerated.
Finally, the hull of the ship suddenly jumped upwards, jumping out of the turbulent flow of energy like a carp jumping out of the water.
After successfully escaping from the turbulence, Xu Dao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took back his mana, recovering the energy consumed during this period and adjusting his condition.
But before he even closed his eyes, his heart skipped a beat:
"This is!?"
Xu Dao stood up immediately in the treasure ship, released his consciousness outwards, and stared outside the treasure ship tightly.
In the fierce wind layer, there is a huge thing, slowly passing by the star snail treasure ship. Its size exceeds a hundred feet. Compared with it, the star snail treasure ship is just a dwarf.
The whirlpool that just entangled the star snail treasure ship was just a little ripple caused by this giant object passing through the sky above the star snail treasure ship.
But the giant object was not another giant ship of a hundred feet in size, but a body of flesh and blood, with distinct muscles and scales, and a black steamy surface. It fell into the strong wind layer and was beaten endlessly.
Xu Dao stared at the giant object, and he was even more horrified: "Where does this thing come from?"
The huge body of flesh and blood is not a complete corpse, but just a fragment.
There was no head left, only the neck was left, and it was submerged from the chest down, the spine was exposed, and both arms were broken, as if a giant had been tortured and torn apart by five horses.
It was lying on its back like this, with black air steaming and flowing wildly in the strong wind layer, but floating slowly. On its back, there were sharp bone spurs protruding from its body, like knives.
Xu Dao raised his head and could only see the back of the giant object, but could not clearly see its front.
His mind was in great astonishment: "This mutilated corpse is already over a hundred feet tall, and the size of its whole body is probably close to a thousand feet, or even more than a thousand feet. What is the realm of this mutilated corpse, and how powerful it was during its lifetime.
?”
And unlike the thousand-foot phantom cast by Taoist Master Jin Lin and others during the Wu Kingdom War, the corpse did not use magic to enlarge its body. Its entire body was made of flesh and blood, and that's how it was.
big.
Xu Dao suddenly thought of the huge body of Kunjing Zhenren, and his heart skipped a beat: "Is it the corpse of a real ghost and immortal in the Nascent Soul realm?!"
He came back to his senses from the fright, his heart was filled with fire, and he had the idea of letting the Star Snail treasure ship catch up and capture this corpse.
But the next moment, Xu Dao suppressed this idea on his own.
He squinted at the corpse that seemed to be floating slowly, and found that the corpse was being lifted up by the strong wind. In fact, the speed was not slow, but the weight of the corpse was unknown, and the strong wind could not shake it, leaving it in the strong wind layer.
It seemed extremely stable and unmoving.
If Xu Dao wanted to fly over in a treasure ship, he would have to travel ten miles to catch up with him.
This journey was not a big deal for the Star Snail treasure ship originally. It could catch up in a few blinks, but now it is in the strong wind layer, and all kinds of fierce strong winds are gathering around it. The treasure ship can stabilize it.
You have already tried your best not to be blown away, let alone go to capture the corpse.
More importantly, even if he caught up with the corpse, Xu Dao didn't dare to get too close to the corpse. You must know that the turbulence that just forced him to take action was just a wave caused by the corpse inadvertently.
Rejoicing flashed through his heart: "Fortunately, this thing is a corpse. Otherwise, without the other party having to attack me personally, it only needs a slight influence, and the star snail treasure ship may be destroyed, and my great cause of refining power this time will also fail."
.”
In addition, the huge corpse was steaming with black energy, making it not an easy target at first sight.
Xu Dao thought that it was impossible for him to be the only one to have seen such a huge thing. Some of the other Taoist priests who entered the Gangfeng layer to practice martial arts must have also seen it, but they might not have been as close as him.
Taoist priests who have succeeded in refining Gang can barely enter and leave the Gangfeng layer, and there are also Jindan Taoists on the higher level who can come and go freely here.
If the huge corpse was really easy to take away, then it wouldn't be Xu Dao's turn to encounter it by chance.
Even if it is contaminated by something and has no value in refining alchemy or refining weapons, the golden elixir Taoist masters will still be happy to keep it as a collection.
After all, such a huge corpse is extremely suspected to be the body of a human being, and there must be a lot of secrets in it.
Xu Dao sighed several times: "What a pity."
He is not sure about catching up with the opponent now. If he catches up, it may be a disaster rather than a blessing. He should withdraw his thoughts and focus on the present. First, he should capture the appropriate Gang Qi in the Gang Wind layer and complete the Gang practice.
As for what kind of Gang Qi he should choose, Xu Dao already had a rough idea in his mind.
There are nine levels of high heaven, and one level of high heaven and one layer of Gang Qi. The higher the place, the more turbulent the Gang Qi is, and the higher the level. Xu Dao naturally had to choose the ninth level of Gao Tian's Gang Qi.
At this time, Xu Dao recovered from his shock. He glanced at his surroundings, then lowered his head to look down at the sea, and found that he was already at the seventh level of high heaven, and he was already halfway up the climb.
Xu Dao was pleasantly surprised and thought to himself: "It's the seventh level of high heaven. It's deep enough into the Gang Qi layer. We only need to climb two more levels to reach the ninth level of high heaven."
He stood in the star snail treasure ship, looked around, and found no more turbulent waves of energy or huge corpses, then he lowered his head and let the treasure ship continue to fly upward. He himself sat down cross-legged, seizing the time to restore his true energy.
.
But the road to the next two heavens exceeded Xu Dao's expectations. After only climbing to the eighth heaven, the treasure ship was exhausted.
The eighth heaven in the world of mountains and seas is the sky of Qingxiao, in which billowing energy comes and goes, drawing out streaks of cyan light. Xu Dao looked over, his eyes were filled with green light, as if he was falling into the cyan light.
generally.
Just as he was admiring the scenery of Qingxiao, a creaking sound rang in his ears, and there was a peeling sound.
The sound did not just come from one direction, but was loudly heard from all locations on the Star Snail treasure ship, as if the entire treasure ship would collapse and fall apart in the next quarter of an hour.
Such a situation made Xu Dao look gloomy. Through his spiritual consciousness, he clearly sensed that the Star Snail treasure ship itself had reached its limit. As long as he left it alone, in the eighth heaven, within half an hour, the treasure ship would be completely destroyed.
Finished playing.
Hesitation flashed in his eyes, but Xu Dao made a decision immediately: "That's all, put away my treasure ship first, lest the seventh meridian is also damaged and the treasure ship falls directly into a magic weapon in the Ningsha realm."
"Although I am fully confident in condensing Gang Qi this time, there are still dangers in the process of refining Gang Qi. If the treasure ship breaks down in advance, I will not be able to find a place nearby to recover temporarily, so I will have no choice but to end the Gang Qi refining process.
, returned to the sea.”
Swish, brush, brush!
After the thought fell, Xu Dao immediately cast one protective spell after another on himself. He also held the mountain and sea flag in his hand and protected it outside his body.
Xu Dao muttered something in his mouth, then grabbed the Soaring Snake, put it on his head, and stepped out of the Star Snail Treasure Ship.
"You go out with me."
After leaving the treasure ship, he could not stand firm at all. The turbulent Gang Qi flowed past him, and the protective spells on his body were like bubbles, with layers of them blown apart.
Xu Dao quickly activated the mana in his body and continuously cast protective spells to offset the friction with Gang Qi. As his body trembled and his mana was consumed, he instantly understood the difficulty of refining Gang.
Although Gang Qi is not difficult to find, it is in the sky, but Taoist priests in the realm of Ningsha who have not yet harvested Gang Qi, how can they withstand the endless Gang Wind grinding in the Gang Wind layer? They must have the skills to refine Gang Qi or above.
With the protection of Taoist priests, it is possible to successfully harvest Gang Qi.
Xu Dao's star snail treasure ship was the "Taoist" who protected him, but the treasure ship barely reached the eighth level, and the ninth level was even more dangerous, and Ninggang Taoist priests did not dare to set foot there easily.
Xu Dao didn't have time to think too much. After he stood firm, he immediately waved his sleeves, and the star snail treasure ship shrank and was stored in his sleeves. Under the green light, he tapped his feet lightly, his robes fluttered, and he walked to a higher place on his own.
The sky flies away.
There are colorful rays of light flowing around his body, and many magic spells are activating on his body. In addition, his body is flowing elegantly, and his robes are flying wildly. In the eyes of others, he looks like a enlightened man who is becoming an immortal.
Lifting the rosy clouds, Xu Dao leaped tens of feet, faster than when he was riding a star snail treasure ship to protect his body.
He also wielded the Cuttlefish Sword and used the sword energy to wrap around himself, increasing his speed while counteracting the erosion of the thick Gang Qi.
But soon, all the protective spells collapsed with one blow, the sword energy of the cuttlefish sword was suppressed to almost nothing, and the sword itself was suffering from trauma.
Xu Dao continued to climb up, consuming his true energy while frantically absorbing the spiritual energy from the inner world.
Thanks to the fact that he recently spent nearly five years polishing the Qi, his control of the Qi and the quality of the Qi itself have been significantly improved.
But when Xu Dao ascended for who knows how long, only the tooth general scale soldiers and the mountain sea flag were still protecting him. There were thousands of tooth general scale soldiers and a foundation-building tooth general twisting the Qi machine inside, hanging down on his body surface.
, continue to resist the strong energy of Qingxiao.
When the tooth generals, scale soldiers, mountains and sea flags could no longer hold up, the color in Xu Dao's eyes suddenly changed, and his vision changed from green to lavender.
He looked around and found that he had suddenly arrived in a purple sky. He was explaining the vast swarms of Gang Qi up, down, left and right. Every ray of Gang Qi seemed to be much more powerful than Xu Dao had ever seen.
"The ninth level of high heaven, Zixiao!"
Xu Dao was overjoyed, looked around and realized that he had finally reached his destination.
He counted with his fingers and found that just climbing to the ninth level had actually consumed him for nearly a day. Such a speed was much more difficult than Zhuang Bufan's Ningsha. However, the environment he and Zhuang Bufan were in,
The Gangqi collected are all different, so there is nothing to compare.
Arriving at Zixiaotian, Xu Dao's eyes immediately wandered around, looking for Gang Qi.
Each of the Gang Qi in Zixiao Heaven is the best choice. The nine highest kinds of the thirty-six kinds of Gang Qi come from here, but this does not mean that there are only nine kinds of the highest Gang Qi in Zixiao Heaven.
, in fact there are others.
Xu Dao said in Zixiaotian that if you choose any kind of picking and condensation that is suitable for use, there is a possibility that the elixir will become a high-quality elixir.
But it's obvious that he is not going to pick any one at random, and he may not even pick any of the nine types of Tiangang.
