While Han Li was adapting to the life of Nascent Soul in Tiannan, Li Su was in retreat to reach a higher realm.
On this day, Miaoyin Island.
In the cave.
Li Su sat cross-legged to absorb the spiritual energy.
Since obtaining the "Celestial Demon Slayer", Li Su has been studying and practicing carefully.
This is a magical art that can be compared with "Taiyi Yin Yang Yuan Magnetic Divine Light".
Coupled with the 'Celestial Demon Emperor's Body' training method recorded in the "Colorful Silver Scroll" that Li Su obtained from Kun Gu, Li Su also realized that this was a good practice method with a coherent inheritance.
Although it has been lost for so many years, it also had a glorious past.
"The upper limit can at least be raised..."
There are many people with names and surnames in the human world, but not many can guarantee that they will ascend all the way.
Not everyone can be like Han Li. After participating in a Qi refining level battle, he can find a Qingyuan Sword Technique and be able to level up after practicing all the way to the spirit world.
Li Su's method of practice has changed several times.
The very first "Blood-Burning Tianyang Kung Fu" is a technique that is both good and evil.
The practice requires spiritual flesh and blood to ignite the fire in the heart.
When you burn your soul, you also burn your body.
Although Li Su stopped practicing this technique at all after becoming the foundation builder.
But at this time, Li Su was still dressed in glazed jade bones and could not be faked.
Huo Ling'er was also amazed by Li Su's Great Sun Glazed Spirit Body.
After practicing again and again, he never thought that he would develop a spiritual body, which made Li Su fascinated by the wonders of the spiritual body.
Later, for many years, Li Su also continued to study the spirit body.
Such as the ice and snow spirit body, the holy sword body, the spirit rhinoceros phoenix body, the nine-day wind spirit body, and various strange and weird spiritual bodies have been recorded and studied by Li Su for a long time.
In the end, Li Su didn't come to any accurate conclusion, but in the end he learned a lot about the mysteries of spiritual bodies.
"I only know its use, but don't know its beauty."
Li Su summarized his behavior.
It's like knowing that after digging out the hole in a tree trunk, it can be used as a canoe to sail on the water, but not knowing that the root of the boat is the principle of buoyancy.
"In addition to the "Blood Burning Tianyang Technique", I have been practicing the "Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas". Based on the explicit patterns on the blood beast skin, I have practiced a total of thirteen animal forms..."
Li Su couldn't help but recall that when he first practiced this technique, he happened to encounter a group of prison-suppressing beasts that were about to degenerate into wild beasts.
This is also the foundation to condense the first animal form.
Relying on the magical method of animal shape and the magical power of ferocious beasts, Li Su was successful in building the foundation.
Later, Li Su felt deeply that her physical quality was too poor and that it was urgent to strengthen her defense, so she practiced the body refining method of Snow Mountain Dharma King and used the body refining secret medicine to achieve the achievement of body refining elixir in advance.
After achieving the golden elixir of physical cultivation, Li Su no longer trembled.
Instead, they went on a killing spree in the country of Yue.
"after……"
Li Su remembered that he was teleported all the way to the Chaos Star Sea.
I found the elixir-forming spiritual object in the Chaotic Star Sea, and after years of seclusion, I finally broke through the golden elixir.
"Along the way, the number of animal forms has continued to increase, and the skills have continued to improve, but the progress of cultivation has been particularly slow..."
Li Su became worried all the way.
Because the Catalog of Ten Thousand Beasts is a method that allows Li Su to defeat many enemies with one force. Naturally, it has such a powerful effect but also has other drawbacks.
That is... slow!
Slow practice of Kung Fu is too painful for all monks.
Especially for human monks, the Nascent Soul is only a thousand years old. If we don't speed up our practice, how can we overcome the confusion in front of us?
"The cultivation speed of monster beasts is extremely slow, almost one-tenth that of humans..."
Li Su secretly compared the training speed of the light plate ferocious beast clone and shook his head secretly.
Even some monsters with noble bloodline need enough time to grow up slowly!
"And for the monks who practice the "Illustration of Ten Thousand Beasts", this is simply disastrous news, right?"
As a monk who practices this technique, Li Su is also deeply disappointed with the slowness of practice.
Originally, Li Su was a monk with three spiritual roots, and his talent could only be considered average.
Although he is much stronger than Junior Brother Han, his strength is really limited.
Taking the example of Yellow Maple Valley as an example, there is only a one-tenth chance of a Three Spiritual Root cultivator becoming a foundation builder.
With the talent of three spiritual roots, Li Su's Qi refining speed is almost as fast as that of alien spiritual roots.
Of course, this is the benefit brought by Li Su's practice of the "Blood-Burning Tianyang Kung"!
However, Li Su also bears the consequences of practicing magic...
Regardless of this for the moment, after Li Su's talent improves and he cultivates the unprecedented 'Great Sun Glaze Spirit Body', Li Su's spiritual root talent is not inferior to any dual spiritual root monks.
Even if you use ordinary skills to practice, the speed is the same as that of a dual spiritual root monk!
All this has to wait until Li Su gets the Heaven-Building Pill and the corresponding root-bone-improving elixir rewarded by the system. After Li Su swallows the two elixirs, his talent is almost the same as the alien spirit root.
"It's a pity that even though I have improved my spiritual talent so much, the ferocious beast clone has hindered my progress in cultivation..."
Li Su recalled his slow pace of practice with a bitter look on his face.
It really looks like a demon cultivator that has transformed into another form!
"But once the lifespan of demon cultivators is transformed, it starts with ten thousand years..."
Li Su couldn't help but sigh.
"In this way, even if the demon cultivator's cultivation speed is ten times slower than that of the human race, he still has enough lifespan to slowly catch up..."
Because he has a clone of a ferocious beast, Li Su has a deep understanding of the practice of ferocious beasts.
After all, the first thing to practice in the Demonic Beast Illustration is to understand the monsters!
"Uh-huh!"
Li Su flicked his sleeves.
The Prison Suppressing Beast clone flew out, followed by the Golden Toad clone, the Blue Sky Snake clone, and the Moon Rabbit clone...
One by one, clones flew out of Li Su's body.
Even the clone that had died a round before had no resentment at this time. Instead, it looked at the main body with an innocent face and asked: "The main body, what happened this time?"
Li Su sighed and said: "I have hit a bottleneck in my practice. This time, I thought that after the battle, there would be a certain chance of reaching another level. Unexpectedly, after the battle, I quickly returned to the cave to retreat for many days, only to find that The last step was always missed..."
After hearing this, many clones also whispered among themselves.
These clones come from the same origin as Li Su, and even their bones, blood, and souls are the same.
But affected by the blood in the beast's body, these clones think differently.
"It seems like, Zheng Zheng, you are worried that your practice is too slow?"
The Blue Sky Snake clone expressed the sorrow in Li Su's heart.
"good."
Li Su nodded without hesitation.
"Ever since I practiced the "Illustration of Ten Thousand Beasts", I have always been good at fighting and fighting, but my shortcomings in practice are too serious..."
Jin Chan pinched his chin and added to himself: "The clones with the blood of ferocious beasts in our bodies can practice at about the same speed as ordinary demon cultivators, and this often requires ten times the time of humans. For you, it is simply Is it unthinkable?”
The Moon Charm Rabbit clone sneered: "The real body, when you fight, you call us to swarm you, but when you practice, you dislike us and hold you back..."
Li Su's face turned red when he heard this.
Because the problem he faced at this time was just like what the Moon Charming Rabbit said.
The evil beast clone slows down the cultivation speed of the orthodox body too much!
"Wait a minute, you and I have read the Illustration of Ten Thousand Beasts, and even explored every inch of it. There should be no secret knowledge left. So how did the Heavenly Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, who practiced the Illustration of Ten Thousand Beasts, overcome the orthodox body? Did you encounter this problem?"
The Corona Horse clone tapped his temple and asked the key core question.
"Yes, the Heavenly Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts descended to earth with the Spirit Clan back then, so his cultivation must have supported his ascension all the way. Does he, a human monk, have so much time to improve his clones?"
The prison-suppressing beast also slapped its thigh and said suddenly: "Is there something else we don't know about?"
Li Su's body and clone were silent after hearing this question.
After a long time, Blue Sky Snake said: "We have been practicing this technique since we were building the foundation. Although we have obtained the complete set of techniques in the Atlas of Ten Thousand Beasts, we have never let ordinary people practice it..."
Moon Charming Rabbit said with a shocked face: "Are you suspecting that we are practicing in the wrong direction?"
Jin Chan also said solemnly: "Zhengtity, when you and I were in the Xutian Palace, we saw the stone pillars in the Xutian Palace, with reliefs of dozens of monsters engraved on them. At that time, you and I judged that these were memorials to the spiritual world. What Heavenly Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts did, he even circled the pillar many times in a ridiculous way, trying to find out if there is any secret?"
Li Su nodded when he heard what the clone said: "Yes, I still remember this during my trip to Xutian Palace..."
"Well!"
Jin Chan nodded.
"Judging from those pillars, the number of animal forms mastered by the Heavenly Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts must be far more than thirteen. The thirteen methods of animal forms that you and I practice may not be the true inheritance of the Heavenly Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, or they may not be the true inheritance of the Heavenly Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts. It is not the complete form of his practice..."
"Yes, do you remember?"
The prison-suppressing beast nodded repeatedly and said to Li Su.
"Han Li's "Qingyuan Sword Technique" was completed after several additions. Moreover, there are many follow-up techniques. Han Li completed them by practicing other secret techniques..."
"You mean our "Illustrated Book of Beasts" is like this?"
Li Su thought about Junior Brother Han Li's Qingyuan Sword Art and said guessingly.
The wind-sniffing dog clone was born the latest. After hearing Han Li's name, he pricked up his ears and blinked. After all, he had given Han Li a head.
"By the way, I remember that when Han Li was in the Nascent Soul stage, he was still unable to break through to become a god, so he practiced the Taiyi Yuanmai Divine Light and used many treasures to become a god..."
"Yes, the two saints also took the risk to practice the Taiyi Yuan Magnetic Divine Light in order to break through the transformation into gods!"
Li Su listened to what the clones said to each other, and they really found a way to break the situation.
"seem……"
Several clones said together.
""Celestial Demon Slayer Immortal Strategy"!"
This skill is a skill that the system once again rewarded Li Su after Han Li obtained the Yuanci Divine Skill.
Since Han Li cultivated Yuanci Divine Light, broke through the late stages of Yuanying, and finally became a god in the human world.
So, does this mean that Li Su's opportunity for breakthrough lies in "Celestial Demon Slayer"?
""Celestial Demon Slaying Immortal Strategy"..."
Many clones also fell silent.
The threshold for practicing this technique is too high, and the demons will be unable to do anything after obtaining it.
On the contrary, the "True Body of the Demon King" given by Kungu allowed the demons to obtain many mysterious magical powers.
After all, what the Demon King's true form focuses on is the path of the unity of all demons...
After some exploration, the demon clones can still practice.
But "Celestial Demon Slayer" is too mysterious!
"Someone must give guidance on this..."
Li Su has come a long way. Starting from practicing the "Ten Thousand Poisons Manual", Li Su spent most of his time studying on his own.
Apart from laying a foundation in the Wild Wolf Gang and Spirit Beast Mountain, other slightly more esoteric things were all self-taught.
"Zhengtai, we need to brainstorm ideas..."
"yes!"
Many clones nodded.
"We also know that you are quite stubborn about your integrity, but in practicing this kind of thing, you need to sum up experience. It is not only the experience of you, me and our predecessors, but also some samples for comparison..."
The Blue Sky Snake made cold and cruel suggestions.
"How about we remain anonymous for a period of time, recruit a few disciples and teach a few exercises, and see if there is any difference between their practice and ours?"
Li Su was actually a little moved when he heard this.
The prison-suppressing beast shook his head and said: "Zhengti, this method is too unethical. You treat your disciples as guinea pigs for experiments. Be careful when someone like Junior Brother Han appears among them. After all, this world is about mortals cultivating immortals!"
When Li Su heard this, he immediately stopped the idea.
"Zhengzheng, I think you can find someone to discuss Tao..."
The Moon Charm Rabbit thought for a while and said: "You have been practicing too independently along the way. From the time when you were refining your Qi, you practiced magic skills. You didn't dare to expose your traces in the Spirit Beast Mountain. Later, the Atlas of Ten Thousand Beasts became too precious. So there is no precedent to refer to.”
"Now that you have become the top of the Chaos Star Sea, why not discuss the Tao with some smart monks?"
"Even a prodigy like Han Li still needs the experience of Luoyun Sect's exchange!"
After listening to the clones' suggestions, Li Su was also a little moved.
Along the way, I have killed gods and Buddhas, and I have never forgotten to search the treasury for books.
Most of the knowledge about spiritual practice is obtained from classics.
There are some more secret cultivation knowledge, which Li Su knows better than most people...
But it is true that I rarely discuss Taoism with others, and rarely reveal the difficulties I encounter in my practice.
"Yes, Zhengtai, you are no longer afraid of challenges from the outside world. How about discussing your future path with others?"
"I see."
Li Su nodded and had an idea in his mind.
He recovered all the clones and sent a letter to summon Yin Yue.
After Li Su learned the details of this woman, his first reaction was to discuss things with her...
Yinyue comes from the spiritual world, is a direct descendant of a wealthy family, and her own cultivation is also extraordinary.
Moreover, in the original work, many of Han Li's problems in cultivation were solved by Yinyue.
From the beginning, Li Su felt reassured about Yinyue.
It was Li Su's heartfelt reassuring attitude that made Yinyue go from being wary of Li Su to having limited trust in her.
Just like the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm, if Yinyue didn't talk about the secret realm's spiritual seeds, Li Su wouldn't be able to tell at all.
After waiting for a while, someone came outside the cave.
Li Su opened the cave formation.
Yinyue, dressed in white, stood outside the cave and asked, "Why did you call me here?"
Li Su held a pot of wine in his hand and swept the courtyard with a wave of his sleeves.
All the fallen leaves on the ground were gently pushed aside, revealing a rough stone table made of bluestone.
"Fellow Taoist, I am stuck in my practice, so I have the audacity to invite you to come and discuss the Tao..."
After hearing this, Yinyue couldn't help but smile: "Haha, after knowing you for so long, I thought you were omnipotent. You have been practicing in a wild way until now. I don't know if it's because you are too lucky, or maybe it's because of your bad luck. Too many opportunities?"
Li Su raised his eyebrows when he heard this and asked, "How do you say this?"
"Hmph!" Yin Yue sat in front of the stone table and gestured to Li Su to pour the wine: "The first time I saw you, I felt that you were very dangerous, like a volcano about to erupt, but the crater of this volcano was blocked by icebergs. Can you understand this feeling?"
Li Su was a little shocked when he heard this and said: "A crater blocked by icebergs?"
"That's right!" Yinyue nodded and said: "Sometimes, you and I already know that the three essentials of practice are essence, energy and spirit, which also correspond to the human body's 'flesh, true essence, and soul'!"
"You use your human body to practice the beast method. Your energy is so terrifying that your physical body is about to explode!"
Li Su immediately woke up like a Hong Zhong Dalu, and the four most common words in practice echoed in his mind: "The three qi are out of balance!"
