When the sect was still in chaos, Li Qiao sealed the entrance to the cave and started his first promotion attempt.
The first step in promotion is to absorb a large amount of spiritual energy in the cave and convert it into new mana. All the original mana in the body will flow outside the body. This process takes several months. It can also be said that most of the promotion time is Delayed here.
The process for high-level monks to absorb spiritual energy and convert it into mana is slow. Take Li Qiao as an example, the spiritual energy absorbed into the body must first be converted into spiritual power, and then continue to be converted into true essence, imprinted with the mark of the soul, and then washed with Nascent Soul. Refining it into mana, and finally using the exploding soul in the transformation stage to increase the mana.
It can be said that the stronger the strength, the longer the transformation time. If you switch to a great monk in the tribulation stage, the time to replenish the whole body's mana is measured in years.
It's not impossible to directly get the magic power out of the body and try to advance, but if something unexpected happens, the monk who transforms into gods will not be able to exert much strength without the magic power in the body.
In the process of Li Qiao transforming his magic power, Liu Yunrong also gradually took over the entire sect, then rearranged the sect's formations, and then sent monks to familiarize themselves with or clean up the nearby immortal cultivating forces.
In this case, Li Qiao's clone and two monks, Li Yueying and Li Lianxing, retreated some distance to prevent being discovered.
"We have started to convert mana. We are not yet sure whether things will go smoothly. We have to thank you two for spending a little more time here." The clone said to the two of them.
"It's nothing to waste a little time." Li Yueying responded. For a family of immortal cultivators, the promotion of the god-transforming monks to return to the void has always been the most important event.
Even if Li Qiao does not advance successfully this time, it would be good to gain some experience. However, the outcome is not within the control of the three of them, and they are still a little worried amid the anticipation.
"If the other party has any bad thoughts, it is likely that they will do it when the mana conversion is completed and the promotion is most critical, so be sure to pay attention to safety." Li Yueying couldn't help but remind him again.
"I see."
Li Lianxing, who is far from reaching the perfection of becoming a god, is worried but also a little envious. He hopes that Li Qiao can be promoted successfully. If Li Qiao is promoted successfully and his family becomes a sect again, he may have the opportunity to become a monk in the future.
After retreating a certain distance, because Li Qiao had to focus a lot on promotion, the avatar left here ran to the cave to hide. The two god-transformation monks of the family also left illusory avatars in the cave for convenience. communicate.
After Liu Yunrong gradually dealt with the affairs within the sect, he inevitably turned his attention to Li Qiao.
She was very hesitant at this moment, constantly hesitating between letting the other party successfully try for promotion and breaking the agreement.
If she does nothing, it will be a matter of time before Li Qiao is promoted, as fast as one or two years, or as slowly as four or five years. As long as he has spiritual veins, it is only a matter of time before he is promoted and returns to the void.
She wanted to break the contract, mainly because she was worried that Li Qiao would have the problem of occupying the magpie's nest after being successfully promoted. If the other party did not leave and competed with her for spiritual veins, the other party's stealth method would be very difficult to deal with.
But the opponent was not an idiot. It was easy to interrupt the promotion, but it was not easy to kill the opponent directly. After thinking about it, she still chose to let the opponent advance.
In addition to paying the price of the Soul Soul Oath for breaking the contract, she is also worried about Li Qiao's revenge. Today she can plot against other Void-Returning monks like Li Qiao, and in the future Li Qiao can plot against herself with other Void-Returning monks.
Even if the other party can't find a cooperative cultivator to return to the void, as long as he relies on stealth methods to wander around his sect, he will never be able to rest. He thought about it again and again, especially when he thought that he didn't want anything in the other sect, he only wanted it. She compromised on the opportunity for promotion.
As time passed, the mana replacement in Li Qiao's body was completed. Seeing that nothing happened, he started the next step.
Continuously mobilize spiritual power, cooperate with the promotion formation arranged around him, and compress the mana transferred outside the body. This is to allow the mana to enter a state of proximity under huge pressure.
For example, the most common water, after entering a critical state under pressure, is neither a liquid nor a gas, but is in an extremely corrosive critical state between the two.
And there are superfluid properties.
As the pressure continues to increase, the compressed mana gradually changes. This step is not difficult. As long as the pressure is enough, it can be done. Until a certain moment, these compressed mana enters a special state and glows. This step One step is complete.
At this time, looking at Li Qiao from a distance, he saw a bright and strong luminous body in front of him, illuminating the entire cave as if it were dozens of times brighter than daylight. In addition, he could also feel something similar to the best spiritual stone. That kind of volatility.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of fluctuation can be transmitted very far, and it is easy for other monks to detect it. But at this moment, these fluctuations are attracted by the spiritual veins, and they are all heading underground. After carefully feeling it, there is no abnormality in the spiritual veins.
After confirming that there was no problem, Li Qiao's expression became much more serious, and the completely lit up divine transformation diagram was displayed next to him.
Half light, half dark, it seems a bit ethereal in the light generated by mana.
Then put the lit corner of the God Transformation Diagram into the critical state of mana. The magic power will emit a huge light, as if it is burning in the God Transformation Diagram. It can also be understood this way at this moment, using critical state mana to guide the God Transformation Diagram into a critical state as well.
The Soul Transformation Diagram is an extension of the Yuan Shen, a manifestation, and is not equal to the real Yuan Shen. Therefore, there is no pain in this process, but it is not easy to control the entire process.
At a certain moment, the God Transformation Diagram disappeared, and the mana in the critical state was scattered and extinguished. It was unclear where the operation error was that led to the failure of promotion.
When it failed, a kind of wave was also produced, which spread and could not be completely covered by the surrounding formations and mountains. After Liu Yunrong felt this wave, he knew that Li Qiao had failed in his first attempt.
Outside the sect, Li Yueying and Li Yueying also understood this after feeling the weak aftermath of this wave. After seeing that Li Qiao's clone had no special reaction, they understood that this was a normal promotion failure, not something wrong. Affected by accidents.
At this moment, both of them felt that there was great hope for a Void-Returning cultivator in their family. Since the other party did not take action during the first attempt to advance, it was unlikely that he would take action in the future.
Faced with failure, Li Qiao had no special reaction. It would be strange if he could succeed once.
After a brief adjustment to the state, the process of converting mana began again, and the second attempt was started, while thinking about the reasons for the previous failure.
It can be said that the most important thing for promotion and return to void is the transformation of the God Transformation Diagram. If it succeeds, the promotion will be successful. Before, it can be said that it has reached the last step of promotion, and it is also the step most likely to fail.
Because the monks' God Transformation Diagrams are all different, the process of gradually igniting them with critical mana is also different. Once the God Transformation Diagram disappears during the burning process of mana, it means failure.
A few months later, Li Qiao's second attempt failed. This was a process of constantly trying to find his own rules. Five times in a row, he finally completed the process.
After the soul map seemed to be completely burned, the critical mana suddenly disappeared, turning from illusory to clear. If it were not still a little transparent, it could easily be regarded as a real arrival. However, this arrival only lasted a short moment and disappeared forever.
One attempt to advance took less than half a year, and the five attempts took a total of a little more than two years. This year, Li Qiao was 395 years old and successfully advanced to return to the void.
At the beginning of its appearance, the God Transformation Diagram was a kind of nihilistic existence. As the God Transformation is completed, it becomes more intertwined between reality and illusion.
The promotion to return to the void is to let the soul map return to nothingness again. Although they are both nothingness, they are different. One has no support, and the other is like substance.
Although he can't see it, he can feel it clearly, and the returning monk in this state can feel another kind of spiritual power: dark spiritual power.
Where there is yin there is yang, where there is light there is darkness. Dark spiritual power is normally invisible, intangible, and undiscoverable, but at this moment it can be felt everywhere. Anti-Void was once also called Dongxu, because of this The realm of immortal cultivators only perceives the dark spiritual power around their bodies, as if they are in a hole of dark spiritual power, and this hole is non-existent.
This kind of dark spiritual power cannot be used by immortal cultivators, but it can react with the critical state of mana, making it no longer possible.
It emits light while retaining part of its critical state. Use the mana in this state to cast spells. Depending on the spell used, the power will be increased from several times to more than ten times. It can be said that compared with the divine transformation stage, the return is The improvement in the virtual period is huge.
In addition, the disappearing God Transformation Diagram can also allow the monk to form a huge shadow of himself in the air. It has no real power in itself, but it can show that he is at least in the stage of returning to the void.
After being promoted successfully, Li Qiao was not in a hurry to leave, and even tried to practice for a while.
The so-called practice is to open the cave state and let the surroundings be filled with dark spiritual power. When this dark spiritual power appears next to the returning monk, it will gradually corrode the body of the returning monk.
As soon as he started trying, Li Qiao felt this, and this was the process of cultivation in the return to void period. He used the dark spiritual power to refine his body and strengthen his spiritual body again.
It is precisely because of this kind of corrosion that some of the monks who have returned to the void have some damage. It can be said that the more dark spiritual power they are exposed to, the more serious the corrosion and damage of the body will be. The reason why the monks who have returned to the void need to practice spiritual veins is because of the large amount of spiritual energy. Corrosion caused by this dark spiritual power can be repaired.
And this kind of corrosion cannot be ignored. If it is serious to a certain extent, let alone refining the body, the Tao body will be seriously damaged and cannot be repaired.
After Li Qiao was successfully promoted and started training, Liu Yunrong noticed it immediately.
"Fellow Daoist Li, you should leave as agreed." In order to facilitate communication on any matters, the virtual clones of the two people stayed in the same place. At this moment, Liu Yunrong's clone spoke directly.
"Don't worry, I'll just give it a try and I'll leave soon." In fact, Li Qiao really wanted to convert all his magic power, but this would take a lot of time, and the other party wouldn't agree.
It can be said that the current Li Qiao does not have real void-returning combat power. Once the mana is converted, it will be a real void-returning force that can directly threaten the opponent.
This was an agreement made from the beginning. The other party did not break the agreement midway, and Li Qiao did not want to go back on his word. For him, without the other party, he did not know when he would be able to advance to the void.
Liu Yunrong's worry did not last long. After only half an hour, the other party's clone said: "It was a pleasure working with fellow Taoist, Li Qiao is gone."
After saying these words, Li Qiao's virtual clone dissipated directly on the spot and left completely.
After hearing this, Liu Yunrong immediately came to the previous Return to Void Cave. It was empty at the moment. He checked again before confirming that the other party had left.
As for Li Qiao who left, combined with his experience after successfully being promoted, a kind of enlightenment arose in his heart.
In fact, the method of promotion and return to the void without using spiritual veins is not complicated, and monks with the realm of returning to the void can roughly summarize it, but the promotion method without using spiritual veins is very dangerous.
The danger does not come from the promotion itself, but from other monks.
Not to mention that the critical state of mana is like a beacon. If there is no spiritual vein to suppress the fluctuations, the news of advancement will spread far and wide, which can easily attract other monks. Moreover, there is no spiritual vein to provide a large amount of spiritual energy for mana replacement, which will affect the promotion of monks. The influence of strength is very huge, not to mention how many times it takes to try. Nowadays, the world of cultivating immortals is full of monks. It is almost like sending death.
You can find other monks to help protect the promotion, but it can only target ordinary monks and has little effect on teleportation monks. Advanced monks can easily be attacked by sneak attacks.
Moreover, Li Qiao also had a conjecture that if the magic power was not compressed outside the body, but inside the body, he would have greater control over the entire promotion process. Mastering the correct method is likely to succeed in one go, without having to try multiple times.
But everything has a good side and a bad side. If promoted in this way, it will have a greater impact on the strength of the Void Returning Monk. At some point, it is estimated that it will be difficult to deal with the Foundation Establishing Monk.
If you want these, you also understand why the easiest opportunity for promotion has disappeared. It has great advantages and great shortcomings, and you will eventually be eliminated. A monk with spiritual veins would not choose this promotion method, as it would be too easy for someone to sneak attack him.
As for many immortal cultivating families who don’t know? Li Qiao suspected that he knew a lot, but he just didn't say anything. And some forces
This method of promotion is directly eliminated, such as Li's.
There are some things that I don’t know, but I just haven’t reached that level yet. When my strength reaches that level, I can see them clearly at once.
I used to think that a simple way to advance was difficult to find, but in fact it is everywhere. A Void Returning monk can roughly sum it up. In one word, it is not difficult to know it.
Li Qiao just thought about this briefly. After all, he had successfully advanced. Another way of advancement was no longer important to him. As for the other two gods in the family, he did not want to let them try dangerous ways of advancement. .
Successful promotion is a new beginning for the family.
