However, as time went by, the influx of earth fire essence suddenly accelerated, and it began to violently collide with the nether earth fire in the fire, turning Zhou Yang's middle dantian into a battlefield where the two types of earth fire clashed.
The spiritual sea in the lower Dantian also began to be restless, and a large amount of mana left the spiritual sea and entered the middle Dantian through the meridians, and also participated in the battle between the two earth fires.
Zhou Yang felt huge pain all over his body, and the meridians everywhere were swelling, but this was much worse than the pain when he broke through Tianyuan. He didn't care, he just felt carefully the various changes brought about by the fusion of earth and fire, and performed magic in the underground palace. The moment of realization when fire is silk.
After all, the Nether Earth Fire is one of the most extreme fires in the world. The essence of the nameless Earth Fire here is absorbed and assimilated by it. It is like taking a tonic elixir. The color becomes darker and the power has naturally increased a lot.
The breakthrough from the early stage to the middle stage was very drastic, and the changes in the meridians and acupuncture points were also very large. Although it was very painful, Zhou Yang was vaguely looking forward to it.
The process was very difficult, but everything fell into place naturally. Coupled with the excellent geographical environment, the breakthrough was smooth.
The celestial phase produced this time was much larger than the third major breakthrough, attracting more heaven and earth energy into the extreme sky. A colorful and huge vortex appeared again, and countless heaven and earth energy and five elements spiritual energy were poured into Zhou Yang's body.
The infusion this time is also different. Before, it was only injected into the body from eight acupoints such as Baihui. But after the Tian acupoints form a primary cycle, the heaven and earth vitality and the five elements spiritual energy can be poured into the body through all the Tian acupoints, and the speed is natural. It's much faster, and the time it takes to convert it into mana is also greatly reduced.
After one day and one night, Zhou Yang successfully advanced to the middle stage of Tianyuan.
The moment the shackles of his body were broken, seventy-five light points suddenly lit up inside his body. These seventy-five light points were forming a dazzling winding pattern!
Unfortunately, the Tianxun trend chart was not completed in the end, with only six points missing. Zhou Yang's expectations seemed to be in vain.
However, this unfinished pattern is still flashing regularly. Every time it flashes, a large amount of the five elements' spiritual energy is sucked into the body, and then the vitality of heaven and earth gurgling in from the extreme sky.
This is the beauty of approaching the Tianxuan intermediate cycle diagram.
But it didn't stop yet. With the infusion of a large amount of heaven and earth energy, the seventy-sixth heaven acupoint was opened, adding another bright spot on the cycle chart, and Zhou Yang's hope rose again.
Then came the seventy-seventh path, the seventy-eighth path, and finally the eighty path.
In other words, through this large-level breakthrough, Zhou Yang once again opened up ten heavenly acupoints, leaving only one short of an intermediate level cycle.
Although hope was once again frustrated and the intermediate cycle of Tiancai did not finally form, it was still a big surprise. You know, Nan Tianlong of the Tianxing Sect is a master of the ninth level of Tianyuan, but he has only opened more than thirty acupoints.
It is unimaginable how many heavenly acupoints Zhou Yang would have opened if he reached the ninth level of Tianyuan.
Among the five elements of spiritual energy here, the fire spiritual energy has the largest content. Zhou Yang, who has a constitution of both gold and fire attributes, will naturally benefit more.
Feeling the surge of the spiritual sea and the restlessness of the black fire, Zhou Yang was extremely proud and happy. The mana and spiritual consciousness have increased several times, and the soul power of the main and secondary souls has also been greatly enhanced.
The biggest benefit doesn't stop there. After reaching the middle stage of Tianyuan, many secret techniques in Zhou Tianyuanjian can be practiced, and mastering more powerful secret techniques is the foundation for improving strength.
In addition, Zhou Yang's physical body has also been further strengthened.
He could clearly feel that the blood essence and blood containing the true energy of his life was increasing greatly. It was estimated that it was one-third more than before. It was a huge gain.
There have been many changes in other aspects, especially the speed of movement, which has been greatly improved after the breakthrough.
However, the top priority is to leave this place as soon as possible. It has been more than three years since he came out. Brothers Dahu and Team 36 will definitely miss him. There were also Tu Yancheng's uncles and Yangtian Pavilion, which made him even more worried.
After taking several decoctions to completely stabilize his realm, Zhou Yang flew away with his sword.
He originally wanted to practice the Body Forging Secret Technique to the fifth level here, but after breaking through and descending into the depths of the magma, he reached the bottom in only a few dozen feet.
With his current cultivation and physique, the magma here is no longer suitable for practicing the body tempering technique, and he needs to find magma with a higher temperature.
Having just broken through the realm at this time, he did not hold anything back and raised the flying sword to its maximum height, which was more than five hundred feet. The flying speed also increased to the maximum, whizzing away all the way.
The speed of flying sword is not only based on cultivation, but also has a lot to do with the quality of the flying sword.
His is an entry-level flying sword given by the sect, which is similar to the ones sold by Wanjianmen in the Anping store, which means it has just reached the level of a magical weapon. Therefore, no matter how hard he uses his magic power, his speed will no longer increase after it reaches a certain level.
After returning, the first thing he had to do was to change to a superior flying sword.
This magma area was very large, and Zhou Yang flew for half an hour before entering the mist again.
He didn't know which direction to fly to get out of the dense fog area, and it was useless to have a map, so he pointed in one direction and traveled for more than an hour, and then his vision broadened.
The fog in front gradually dissipated, and the shape of a large mountain appeared in the field of vision.
After flying for a while, the mountain was already at his feet. Zhou Yang slowly landed and stopped on a huge rock on a mountain peak.
At this time, early autumn has passed, and although the green mountains are still there, they have become desolate. The autumn wind blows, and fallen leaves occasionally touch the body.
In mid-air, Zhou Yang's spiritual consciousness had already taken a rough look. The mountains here stretch for an unknown number of miles. The mountain at his feet has no human habitation for more than a hundred miles, but there are many monsters, and there are many fifth-level elementary and middle-level ones. .
He was sure of everything he discovered, because the current detection range of his spiritual consciousness was no longer the previous seventy or eighty miles, but now as far as one hundred and fifty miles. If it were sound transmission, this distance would be several times greater.
In terms of spiritual consciousness alone, he has far surpassed the late Tianyuan stage, and is almost the same as an ordinary peak Tianyuan cultivator.
With his current level of cultivation, he wouldn't dare to talk about the fifth-level high-level monsters, but he wouldn't pay attention to those below high-level.
After not eating for a long time, Zhou Yang stared at a fifth-level intermediate pangolin leopard. Judging from the aura of this beast, it should be that it has entered the fifth-level intermediate level Rijiu, and its strength is equivalent to that of a master in the late Tianyuan period.
Firstly, it was for food and drink, and secondly, Zhou Yang also wanted to try his current skills. Unfortunately, this pangolin leopard, which was ambushing other monsters, became his target.
It has to be said that leopard monsters are the best hunters in the mountains and forests. From choosing the target to hunting, to approaching the target, to lurking and waiting for the opportunity to strike, and finally hitting the target with the final blow, every link is perfectly connected.
However, when the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows, the pangolin has just pounced on a fifth-level elementary demon wolf and bit the opponent's throat, Zhou Yang, who had already restrained his breath to the extreme, suddenly took action, using the second form of the split light sword technique. The sword was slashed out instantly by Xinsheng, and the two sword energy crossed a distance of eighty feet and went straight to the side of the mountain leopard's head and abdomen.
The pangolin leopard, which was about to pick up the prey, keenly sensed the approaching danger and hurriedly gave up the prey and jumped to the side.
However, it was still a little late. It escaped the fatal blow to its head, but not its abdomen. The sword energy penetrated directly into its body and penetrated from the other side. Blood immediately burst out, and it was tragic. The howling started.
But it was still a fifth-level mid-level monster. Although it was seriously injured, it still turned its head ferociously, its howl turned into a roar, and stared at Zhou Yang who appeared.
Zhou Yang made a few leaps and was already ten feet in front of the Pangolin Leopard. He ducked slightly to avoid the yellow light emitted by the Pangolin Leopard, and then shot two more sword energy towards the opponent.
The pangolin dragged its seriously injured body and tried its best to dodge and jump. Blood then gushes out. Although it avoided the two sword energies, its injuries became even more serious.
Zhou Yang did not change his moves, he still waved his hand and fired out sword energy, forcing the Pangolin Leopard to retreat continuously, blood spilled on the rocks, and his body was shaking a little.
Feeling that it was indeed no match for this human being, the pangolin turned around and ran away, still incredibly fast.
If Zhou Yang had pursued him with his early Tianyuan cultivation before, it would have been really difficult to catch up with this mountain leopard.
However, today is different from the past. Zhou Yang is a dignified cultivator in the middle stage of Tianyuan, already among the masters. Moreover, his true strength is far beyond the ordinary middle stage of Tianyuan, and his movement speed is much faster, with only a few leaps. He was already several feet behind the pangolin leopard.
The monster suddenly turned around, opened its mouth and sprayed out yellow light, and then rushed towards Zhou Yang. It also tried its best!
Zhou Yang calmly let go of the yellow light at first, and then he quickly dodged and barely managed to avoid the pangolin leopard's huge body and sharp claws. Just as the two sides were crossing each other, Zhou Yang used his backhand to hit the pangolin leopard with all his strength. With its injured abdomen, the monster screamed and rolled to the ground, suffering another serious injury.
Zhou Yang's palm used all his strength, with a force of tens of thousands of kilograms. The already injured monster's abdomen couldn't bear it. The place where the palm landed immediately collapsed, and all the internal organs were probably exploded.
The pangolin received this slap firmly and struggled several times but did not get up. Not only was its abdomen but also its mouth spurted out a large amount of blood.
Zhou Yang glanced at it, and two sword energy came out from his hand, slashing directly on the pangolin leopard's head.
At such a close distance and with such sharp Taoist sword energy, the pangolin leopard's head was immediately split into two halves. The demon pill actually rolled out on its own. Its surface flashed green, and a very blurry little leopard shadow escaped. The demon pill quickly floated into the air.
Zhou Yang raised his hand and fired a black fire, turning the beast soul into ashes.
After collecting the demon pill, Zhou Yang ignored the body of the pangolin, but turned back to the demon wolf and put its body into the storage bag first.
Although it is only a fifth-level elementary monster, in line with the principle of not wasting it, every one will be taken away.
He returned to the pangolin carcass again and began to clean it up.
Not long after, a bonfire was lit, and he put two skinned leopard legs on it. After sprinkling condiments on them, the delicious barbecue began.
