The viscous and hot red magma can melt everything, making it intimidating.
Zhou Yang gritted his teeth and lightly touched the magma with one finger. He was immediately hit by a heart-breaking pain, which frightened him and quickly pulled his hand back.
Even with his heart as hard as iron, he couldn't help but feel a drumbeat in his heart.
Ordinary cultivators are trained to the point where they are invulnerable to sword damage, and even when they see magma, they have to retreat as far away as possible.
But Zhou Yang is not an ordinary cultivator. He has experienced life and death disasters many times. As long as he still has breath, he will continue on the path of cultivating the Tao, and it will be the same here.
After only hesitating for a moment, he resolutely reached out his hand and quickly used the Earth Fire Body Tempering Technique to mobilize all his spiritual power and inject it into his arm.
His fingers seemed to be burned, and the pain shook his whole body, as if he had been cut off by a sharp blade. However, he did not withdraw his fingers.
Hold on, you must hold on!
Those who want to achieve great things must have a strong heart and a strong will. Only persistence can lead to success.
At this time, all the skin on Zhou Yang's fingers was burned away by the hot magma, leaving a bloody mess. If the burning continued, only the bones would be left. As a last resort, he withdrew his fingers, took the healing elixir internally, and applied the medicine externally.
But the practice did not stop. He changed hands and tried again until all ten fingers were burned.
Three days later, the burned fingers improved slightly, and after just a short rest, Zhou Yang started practicing again.
It's just that he is not practicing the Earth Fire Body Tempering Technique, but improving his cultivation, because he feels that he has faint signs of a breakthrough.
"The Fire Spirit Pill really has miraculous effects. There are signs of breakthrough in such a short period of time. Isn't it too fast?" The cultivation speed was too fast, so he hesitated.
"No, this is not just the effect of the Fire Spirit Pill, it should also be related to the Body Tempering Secret Technique."
It took him forty-five days to practice the secret technique to a major level. His physical strength increased immeasurably, and his spiritual consciousness also strengthened a lot. Coupled with the effect of the Fire Spirit Pill, these three aspects go hand in hand. It would be strange if his cultivation level does not increase dramatically.
In that case, let it be.
After thinking about this, Zhou Yang temporarily put aside the Earth Fire Body Tempering Technique and began to concentrate on advancing.
The whole process went extremely smoothly, and three days later he broke through to the second level of the spiritual platform in one fell swoop. At such a speed, if the world knew about it, they would be scared out of their wits.
After the breakthrough, Zhou Yang didn't waste any more time and continued to practice the Earth Fire Body Tempering Technique.
Improve your cultivation and nourish your physical body. After reaching the second level of the Lingtai, he felt that his physical strength had increased again. Therefore, after entering the magma again, the degree of burning of the skin was slightly reduced.
Half a month later, his hands were finally able to slowly swim in the magma.
After one month, his arms, two months later, half his body, and three months later, his whole body could be immersed in magma, and he was completely adapted to the suffocating feeling of thick magma. Not only that, his eyes can also be opened in the lava!
Depressingly, his hair did not withstand the test and was burned by the magma.
Four months later, he was able to hold on for half an hour in the magma. At this time, the muscles all over his body began to turn from red to purple, becoming harder than stone.
Five months later, he was able to swim in magma for two hours, his eyes could move freely, and he could see things as real.
Six months later, he was able to walk through the magma without any problems. Even if he stayed there for three days and three nights, he could not get any damage at all.
This marks the second major achievement!
This speed is six months ahead of Yang Zhao! The first two floors took a total of seven and a half months.
By now, Zhou Yang has used up all the Fire Spirit Pills. Seven and a half months of hard training and continuous swallowing of Fire Spirit Pills have also made his cultivation improve by leaps and bounds, and he is not far from the third level of the Lingtai.
As long as you accumulate enough Yuan Power in the Kaiyuan Realm, you can successfully advance to the next level. The Lingtai is different from the Kaiyuan realm. It requires spiritual power and spiritual consciousness to advance together. Only when both aspects reach the critical point can one break through to the next level. This is much more difficult than the Kaiyuan realm.
For ordinary Lingtai cultivators, it takes as little as one or two years and as many as three or four years to break through a level. Those with poor qualifications take longer. And just a few months after he broke through the second level of Lingtai, he was about to hit the bottleneck again. This speed was too terrifying.
This is all the result of the Fire Spirit Pill and the Secret Body Refining Technique. As long as there is the Fire Spirit Pill and the Earth Fire Body Tempering Technique, it won't take long for him to reach the third level of the Spirit Platform.
What surprised Zhou Yang even more was the changes in his body.
When he achieved the first level of Earth Fire Tempering Technique, his skin was white and rosy, with a hint of red lingering all over his body. By the second critical period, his skin had turned from red to purple, and it lasted for a long time.
But now, the skin all over his body has returned to normal, no different from usual, but much stronger.
But once the body tempering secret technique is activated, the muscles become as hard as gold and iron, and the skin quickly turns red. A faint red light will emit during movements, as if the body will produce light, like the Buddha's light shining all over the body, and like a divine wheel surrounding the body. And when the eyes open and close, the light shines out, which contrasts with the brilliance of the body, which is very strange.
Zhou Yang was full of heroic spirit and stood on the giant black rock. As his spiritual power was running, his arms suddenly collided, and a clanking sound was made, like gold and iron clashing, like weapons blocking each other.
He stepped on the black rock, and with a little force, the rock shook, and cracks appeared faintly on the black rock!
Zhou Yang smiled, but just nodded slightly.
After a moment, he jumped off the black rock, drew out his long sword without hesitation, and slashed directly at his left arm.
With a bang, the long sword actually broke into a gap!
Looking at his arms again, there was not even the slightest trace left. The second level of the Earth Fire Body Tempering Technique was really amazing!
Zhou Yang did not dare to try again, because he only had this one weapon left. If the sword was destroyed, he could only fight with bare hands.
At this time, he did not have a magical weapon on his body, so he could not test it. However, he was confident that even if a low-grade magic weapon hit him, it would be difficult to hurt him.
He was so happy that he actually had the idea of continuing to practice.
The first two levels took seven and a half months, half the time than Yang Zhao. If you practice the third level, you will probably be able to complete it in four or five years.
However, when he calms down and thinks about it carefully, I am afraid it will be difficult to reach the third level because his level is too low, and the second level is already the limit.
Senior Yang Zhao is at least in the Tianyuan realm and can only cultivate to the third level. He is a young cultivator who has not yet reached the middle stage of Lingtai. He is afraid that he will be seriously injured or die if he does not reach that point, unless he also enters the Tianyuan realm.
Zhou Yang gave up the idea of continuing to practice, then jumped off the giant rock, shook his arms, and completed the entire set of Kongxuan Palm Techniques in one breath. The power of the palm was strong, and the wind of the palm was like a knife, throwing up a large amount of ground fire, and the few birds were frightened and fled everywhere.
At this time, this set of Kong Xuan Palms was many times more powerful than before.
"Comfortable, comfortable!" Zhou Yang retracted his palms and closed his eyes to appreciate the beauty of the physical body.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and began to think about how to leave this place.
According to the records left by Yang Zhao, as long as you reach the second level of cultivation, you can find a way out.
"After the second level is completed, you can go straight into the magma layer. Could it be that the exit is deep in the magma?" With this thought in his mind, Zhou Yang did not waste any more time and dived into the magma again, searching all the way down.
An hour later, he dived more than three hundred feet, but he had never reached such a depth before.
The temperature here is even more terrifying and the feeling of suffocation is even stronger. If he hadn't achieved the second level of Body Refining Secret Technique, he would never have been able to stay for a moment.
After searching for more than half an hour, Zhou Yang's eyes suddenly lit up and he discovered a strange place.
Lava gurgled out there, like a spring from a well, constantly gushing out.
This should be the spring of magma, but it is not an exit. Zhou Yang does not dare to enter without permission. This is where magma emerges from the ground. With that kind of temperature, even the third layer of Dacheng would not dare to enter it rashly.
After leaving the spring, Zhou Yang had to search everywhere again.
After more than an hour passed, he found that the magma was all flowing to one place, so he continued to swim in the direction of the magma flow.
Not long after, a cave entrance actually appeared in front, and a large amount of magma flowed into the cave. The entrance to the cave is fiery red and very small, with only room for one person to sneak in.
Zhou Yang was delighted, the way out should be here. Because he had searched all over the earth's fire and magma, except for the spring, there was only this one cave entrance.
After finding a way out, Zhou Yang was no longer in a hurry. After a moment of hesitation, he left the entrance of the cave and went upstream.
Through the magma layer, he emerged from the underground fire.
He took his clothes and put them in his storage bag. Because the storage bag cannot be destroyed by fire or lava, there is no problem in taking it away.
After cleaning up all this, Zhou Yang suddenly frowned.
Senior Yang Zhao once reminded those who came after him that it was best not to take away the Earth Fire Body Refining Technique, lest it lead to death.
Zhou Yang had already memorized the second level of Dacheng and the third level in his mind. He had also studied the last two levels carefully and was sure that he could not practice it. So he was ready to follow Yang Zhao's instructions and put this technique back to its original place.
However, it was then that he remembered that he was out of wine. Can the stone table still be opened?
As a person, trusting words comes first, no matter what, you have to go back and take a look.
After making the decision, he returned to Yang Zhao's cave naked. After groping for a while, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
He was not a weapon refiner, so he couldn't open the stone table at all. The only way was to destroy it. But if the stone table is destroyed, there will naturally be no place to hide the body refining secret technique.
"Forget it, it's not because I'm being disrespectful, but I'm really out of wine. Please forgive me, Senior Yang!" Zhou Yang had no choice but to go to the ground and thank him with a big gift.
Then he put away the secret technique, returned to the underground fire, dived all the way back to the fiery red hole, and got in without hesitation.
The cave is very deep, winding and winding like a stream.
After swimming for about half an hour, the magma gradually became less and less, and the body changed from swimming to crawling.
After another hour, he suddenly felt that he was slowly moving upward.
At this time, the cave was slightly wider and he could walk with his body bent, only his lower body was still in the magma. Further forward, there is very little magma, only your feet are still in it.
After a while, there were more black rocks in the cave, and red fire rock grass appeared on them. Zhou Yang naturally couldn't let it go. He picked as he walked, and in a short time he had harvested a thousand plants.
Going up further, the magma gradually disappeared and the cave became dark.
He walked up in the dark for about an hour, and then a faint light appeared in front of him. The light looked not far away, but it took half a stick of incense to get there.
Needless to say, this is the exit.
