Chapter 291 Breakthrough
"How dare you be so rude?"
Yan Chixia sensed the murderous intent emanating from Zhang Chu, and immediately shouted angrily at Ning Caichen, then looked at Zhang Chu, who was full of murderous intent, "Daoyou, this kid is ignorant, why bother with him?"
However, he looked at Zhang Chu with some worry.
After hanging around in the martial arts world for so many years, Yan Chixia, who has become a cultivator at the Yuanshen realm, understands this very well.
Just based on what Ning Caichen said just now, if he met someone with a small mind, he would probably be killed here immediately.
The dignity of the strong cannot be violated.
What's more, to a certain extent, Zhang Chu also saved Ning Caichen's life!
What good will happen if a man combines with a female ghost?
In the end, most of them had their yang energy sucked dry by female ghosts and eventually died.
From this point of view, Zhang Chu really saved his life.
Of course, this inference is based on the fact that Yan Chixia did not know what was happening along the original trajectory.
"hehe!"
Zhang Chu sneered and didn't say much.
A mere Ning Caichen was not worth his anger at the moment.
"Fellow,"
Therefore, Zhang Chu clasped his fists towards Yan Chixia and said, "Goodbye!"
Then Zhang Chu directly controlled the Corpse King Banner and soared into the sky. When he was about to reach the horizon, Zhang Chu suddenly had an idea and sent another message to Yan Chixia.
Yan Chixia, who was on the ground, looked at Ning Caichen with a complicated look after hearing Zhang Chu's message.
"You go back now!"
Without waiting for Ning Caichen to speak, Yan Chixia waved his sleeves, and before Ning Caichen could come to his senses, he fell at the foot of the barren mountain.
Looking at the bare and barren mountain in front of him, Ning Caichen was a little scared.
Before, he really had never thought that the two Taoists would have such abilities.
However, in the blink of an eye, he was moved a distance of more than ten miles, which was no longer an ordinary person.
He glanced at the barren mountains and walked towards Guobei County.
No matter how much of a nerd he was, Ning Caichen knew very well in his heart that he was not on the same level as the two Taoists on the mountain.
At this moment, Zhang Chu had already arrived in a wilderness. With a thought, he returned directly to the biochemical world.
Having obtained so many demon pills and a tree demon spirit, why is Zhang Chu still staying in the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio?
Is there anything more important than improving his strength?
After returning to the biochemical world, Zhang Chu went straight towards the direction of the Great Sun Demon Sealing Array.
Looking at the extremely abundant solar power in the Great Sun Demon Sealing Formation, he sat cross-legged directly on the center of the formation, feeling the scorching heat all around him.
Zhang Chu took out a demon pill and swallowed it.
The magic power in the Dantian directly wrapped up the demon pill and began to circulate in the meridians.
With the continuous operation of the Heavenly Corpse Art, Zhang Chu had completely refined the demon pill in more than a month.
However, at this moment, Zhang Chu's body was also contaminated with a lot of demonic energy, and his magic power was also mixed with a lot of demonic power.
There is no way around this. When refining the demon pill, the body will inevitably be invaded by demonic energy, and the magic power will naturally be mixed with a lot of demonic power.
After silently feeling his own magic power, Zhang Chu continued to refine the demon pill.
This time, he obtained eighteen demon pills in the world of Liao Zhai. He refined them all, which was enough to make his cultivation reach the peak of the Golden Core Stage or even break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.
Time passed as Zhang Chu continued to refine the magic pills. When he had refined the tenth one, he suddenly realized that his magic power could not be improved at all no matter how many times he refined the magic pills.
At this moment, the golden elixir in Zhang Chu's dantian has grown from the size of a sesame seed to the size of a fist.
In terms of magic power, he has already reached the peak of the Golden Core Realm at this moment.
Looking at the golden elixir that was no longer pure black, Zhang Chu's mind moved, and the Samadhi True Fire floating under the golden elixir began to burn directly, and it burned at his own golden elixir.
As the Samadhi True Fire continued to burn, wisps of black gas emerged from the golden elixir and emanated from Zhang Chu's pores.
The black smoke was the demonic power mixed in with Zhang Chu's magic power. Under the effect of the Samadhi True Fire, it was directly burned to ashes.
However, after refining ten demon pills, there was indeed too much demon power mixed in his magic power. Therefore, if he wanted to completely purify his magic power with the Samadhi True Fire, it would probably take more than a day or two.
It will take at least half a year.
As Zhang Chu continued to temper his golden elixir with the Samadhi True Fire, it became smaller, but his magic power became more and more refined.
After all, after burning the demonic power mixed in his magic power, his magic power naturally became a lot less, but it was also more condensed.
"It seems that I have to continue refining the demon pill!"
Feeling that his magic power could continue to increase, Zhang Chu did not hesitate at all and directly refined two more demon pills. After that, his magic power could no longer increase.
Then, he continued to use the Samadhi True Fire to refine his own magic power. He repeated this process over and over again. After Zhang Chu had refined fifteen demon pills, his magic power was not only completely pure, but also could not continue to grow.
However, Zhang Chu subconsciously felt the condition of his own body and frowned slightly: after refining fifteen demon pills, the demonic energy that had infected his body was a bit too much.
If you don't look closely, just based on the demonic aura that rises into the sky, he can definitely be called the Demon King.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, the cluster of Samadhi True Fire in his Dantian immediately spread out and began to flow along Zhang Chu's flesh and blood.
Under his extremely exquisite control, he began to burn the evil spirit attached to his flesh and blood.
However, there is still a difference between the body and magic power. Magic power is originally illusory and is something that turns the virtual into the real. When the Samadhi True Fire burns, there will naturally be no so many concerns. Even if some of one's own magic power is burned, it is not a problem.
With the demon pill in hand, replenishing magic power shouldn't be an easy task, right?
The body is a tangible object. If it is accidentally burned and turned into charcoal, it is not difficult to recover.
But it is not easy to recover to the current level of strength.
Therefore, when controlling the Samadhi True Fire to burn the evil spirit in his body, Zhang Chu was extremely careful.
In a blink of an eye, another half a year had passed, and the evil spirit in his body had been completely burned away.
Feeling the extremely pure body and extremely condensed magic power, Zhang Chu had no plans to come out.
Since his magic power has reached the peak of the Golden Core Stage, and his Qi, blood, and spiritual awareness are not weak either, he will try to see if he can break through to the Nascent Soul Stage. After reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, there will naturally be another world.
He sat there cross-legged, silently recalling the method in the Heavenly Corpse Art to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Strands of spiritual consciousness gathered directly towards the golden elixir and penetrated into it.
However, as the spiritual consciousness continued to gather in the golden elixir, Zhang Chu simply lost the ability to sense those spiritual consciousnesses.
When all of Zhang Chu's spiritual consciousness gathered in the golden elixir, Zhang Chu suddenly lost consciousness. Only his subconscious mind was still supporting the operation of Zhang Chu's skills.
The golden elixir's consciousness trembled slightly, and the spiritual energy in the Great Sun Demon Sealing Array was also continuously gathering towards Zhang Chu.
Gradually, Zhang Chu's body became a little dry, and even his energy and blood were swallowed up by the golden elixir.
At this moment, the golden elixir is in dire need of energy supply. Only with sufficient energy supply can the Nascent Soul break out of the golden elixir.
But how could there be so much spiritual energy in the biological world?
Even if all the spiritual energy in the biochemical world was gathered here at Zhang Chu, it might not be enough for Zhang Chu to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
The biochemical world is simply too barren.
Even though there was a spiritual vein that Zhang Chu had penetrated into, compared to the universe in front of him, it was just a drop in the ocean, not even a drop in the ocean.
How could it be possible to provide so much spiritual energy for Zhang Chu to advance to the Nascent Soul stage?
As the golden elixir continued to be absorbed, Zhang Chu's flesh and blood was almost completely dried up.
At this moment, skin and bones is the best adjective.
At this moment, the Yue Shi Mirror in Zhang Chu's sea of consciousness shone brightly, and the three demon pills that were stored in the Yue Shi Mirror space instantly turned into streams of extremely pure energy and injected into Zhang Chu's dantian.
Afterwards, the several Jindan realm cultivators that Zhang Chu had suppressed in the Yue Shi Mirror were also directly killed by the Yue Shi Mirror, and their Jindan were transformed into an extremely pure energy, which was input into Zhang Chu's Jindan.
It can be considered as a small contribution to Zhang Chu's breakthrough into the Jindan stage. However, compared to the energy Zhang Chu needed, it was still too little.
Indeed, Zhang Chu's foundation was too strong. Even the extremely pure energy transformed from three demon pills and several golden pills was still too little compared to the energy required for Zhang Chu to break through.
"Om~"
Along with the vibration of the Yue Shi Mirror, the tree demon's soul suppressed in the Yue Shi Mirror was also shattered at this moment, turning into an extremely pure energy, which was injected into Zhang Chu's golden elixir along the channel between the sea of consciousness and the dantian.
It has to be said that the energy transformed by the soul is not only of high quality, but also of considerable quantity.
As energy continued to be injected, the golden elixir in the dantian also began to vibrate, like a pulse, beating continuously.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
It was like the sound of a huge bell, ringing in the darkness.
Tiny cracks also began to appear on the pitch-black golden elixir, and with the appearance of cracks, the golden elixir's demand for energy became even greater.
Fortunately, the energy provided by the tree demon's soul is sufficient, and it is still continuously being infused into the golden elixir.
"Click! Click! Click!"
As energy continued to be infused, it seemed as if it had received sufficient nourishment, and more and more cracks appeared on the golden elixir.
The Corpse King Banners and dragon veins around the golden elixir also emitted bursts of light, shining continuously, and waves of inexplicable power were directly injected into the golden elixir.
I don’t know how long it took, but a fist-sized golden elixir suddenly broke open, and a fist-sized, baby-like figure appeared in Zhang Chu’s dantian.
"who am I?"
Suddenly, the little man whose face could not be seen clearly spoke in confusion.
"I'm Zhang Chu!"
"I am Zhang Chu, the registered disciple of the Lightning Dharma King Shi Jian!"
"I am an abandoned disciple of Mount Mao!"
"I am a Taoist who lives forever!"
Suddenly, a series of complicated thoughts began to invade the newly born faceless little man.
Soon, the slightly confused little face calmed down, and he said in a deep voice, "I am Zhang Chu, the Taoist of Immortality!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fist-sized baby's face, which was originally unclear, suddenly revealed its appearance. It looked extremely similar to Zhang Chu, one could even say that they were cast in the same mold.
Then, the fist-sized baby went upward along a passage, and soon came to a place with a broken mirror.
It was Zhang Chu’s sea of consciousness.
As the Nascent Soul arrived at the sea of consciousness, Zhang Chu's spiritual consciousness, which had undergone some transformation, also returned to his body, and his consciousness also became clear.
"so close!"
Zhang Chu silently felt the condition of his body and a trace of fear appeared on his face.
After his spiritual consciousness entered the golden elixir, although Zhang Chu lost consciousness, when Zhang Chu's cultivation level broke through and his Nascent Soul rose to the sea of consciousness, the scenes of his breakthrough also appeared in Zhang Chu's mind.
If it weren't for the demon pill and the suppression of the tree demon's soul, even if he didn't die this time, he would have suffered extremely serious injuries.
Furthermore, it was an injury that would take decades to fully recover from.
Failure to break through will inevitably damage the origin. How can it be easy to recover from the damaged origin?
Fortunately, he suppressed a Yuanshen-level being and also suppressed quite a few Jindan-level cultivators. Otherwise, it would be really difficult for him to break through.
Zhang Chu frowned after feeling his body silently: his qi and blood had dried up, his flesh and blood had dried up, and he didn't know how long it would take to recover completely.
As soon as he thought about it, his consciousness had already returned to his Nascent Soul.
At this moment, Zhang Chu's sea of consciousness had also undergone significant changes.
His pitch-black Nascent Soul sat cross-legged on the dragon vein, as if sitting on a small boat. Behind the Nascent Soul's head, there was a mirror floating, which was the Yueshi Mirror that was emitting light. His two small hands, one hand held a cluster of flames, which was the Samadhi True Fire, and the other hand held the Corpse King Banner.
It can really be said that they are armed to the extreme.
The Yue Shi Mirror defends against attacks from the soul, the dragon veins suppress luck, the Samadhi True Fire purifies magic power, and the Yue Shi Mirror is responsible for killing.
The spiritual consciousness residing in the Nascent Soul instantly spread in all directions. Soon, the scene within a thousand miles appeared in Zhang Chu's mind.
Feeling the extremely pure magic power, Zhang Chu's heart moved, and he remembered the situation when he broke through the golden elixir.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, his extremely pure magic power instantly began to operate according to the Heavenly Corpse Technique and covered his entire body in an instant.
