In addition to the above reasons, Li Qiao did not want the two women to escape his control.
During the process of promotion and integration, all external virtual clones and soul marks must be taken back, and the integrity of the soul should be maintained as much as possible. If he successfully advances to merge, it will not be difficult to enslave the two women again, but if the other party succeeds in advancing first, it is hard to say whether he can enslave them again.
No monk is willing to control his life and death in the hands of others. Faced with opportunities that arise, anything may happen. After Li Qiao's successful promotion, it would be much easier for the two of them to have expectations for the next level.
After having an idea in mind, Li Qiao did not blindly start promotion, but began to deduce all the details to ensure that no problems were found before starting.
For example, the choice of promotion location seems to be best in a sect controlled by the family, and there is no need to worry about safety issues.
But in this way, it doesn't matter if he fails. If he succeeds in promotion, the news that he can be promoted to a body without using large spiritual veins will inevitably be noticed by other high-level monks in the family. He was not worried that the news would spread outside the family, but it would inevitably make the senior monks of the family have strange thoughts. However, even if his method was successful, it was not universal.
Li Qiao neither has the intention to reveal his secret thoughts to all the high-level monks in the family, nor does he have the spirit of continuous dedication for the promotion of other monks in the family.
If it succeeds, I don't mind using this method to get a few Fusion Stage monks for the family, and I will pass them on to Li Yueying Lingsha, also because of this consideration.
There is also the issue of spiritual evil reserves. Normally, the more spiritual evils, the better. Li Qiao also thought about getting a few female cultivators to store spiritual evils in their bodies.
But after much thought and many deductions, I gave up the idea.
First of all, after the spirit evil spirit was transferred into the female cultivator's body, it was out of his control. Whether it could come back or not depended entirely on the other person's thoughts. Li Qiao didn't like this kind of uncertainty.
Secondly, the promotion process is dangerous and ever-changing. How can there be time to stop and get a female cultivator to supplement? As for being seriously injured after failing to advance? As long as he didn't die at the time, healing was just a matter of sooner or later.
Finally, judging from various records, the promotion process is not long, and there is a high probability that there will not be insufficient Lingsha.
During the period when Li Qiao was preparing for promotion, he continued to travel around the world of immortality. It seemed that he continued to look for promotion opportunities in the large spiritual veins controlled by major forces as before.
In addition to trying your luck and maybe not taking risks, I also want to see if the 'Dong Xu' state is activated in different places. There will be obvious differences in the amount of dark spiritual power, and whether there are people composed of dark spiritual power in the world of immortality. Spiritual vein area.
But it turns out that Li Qiao thought too much and tried in many places, with almost no difference in the results.
…
At the place where the virtual clones of Li's Void Return monks gathered, Li Qiao alone transmitted the spiritual consciousness of Li Yueying's virtual clone.
Not long after, the bodies of the two people appeared in a valley somewhere in Bazhou, Nanxuan Territory.
"You were promoted here?" Looking at the ordinary environment around her, Li Yueying couldn't believe it. She didn't know how Li Qiao was promoted, but she thought that she needed an ordinary sect spiritual vein.
"It's right here." Bazhou is where the main clan of the Li family is located, because the spiritual veins of the sects in this state have long been destroyed. There are only some cultivating families here. The possibility of encountering cultivators above the gods is very small. Even so, Li Qiao also asked Li Yueying to protect him.
There will basically be no problems if there is a cultivator who has returned to virtual reality and perfected it.
"Why are you asking me to protect you?" This is something Li Yueying can't understand. In her opinion, Ji Qianyan and Li Yingzi should be more worthy of each other's trust.
"Because you are more eager to be promoted. If I can succeed, you will also have a chance to succeed." For Li Qiao, when he was promoted, he canceled the slavery marks of the two women. The three of them were almost the same in terms of whether they were trustworthy. , while Li Yueying has no advantage in longevity, but it is more reassuring.
The main reason is that the two of them have broken through the boundaries of incompatible high-level monks. In that case, they can trust each other, and a protector is nothing. If not, Li Qiao will most likely choose a protector between Ji Qianyan or Li Yingzi.
"I really hope you can succeed, but it's still too risky." At this moment, Li Yueying had little hope for Li Qiao's promotion. She only hoped that the situation would not be too serious after the other party's failure.
After getting some spirit demons from the other party, she found that it was indeed a good thing and could not be obtained from other places. From this point of view alone, she did not want anything to happen to Li Qiao.
"If I fall, give my bones to Ji Qianyan." Li Qiao did not say how to allocate his resources. If he fails, everything will be in vain, and there will be nothing important.
"Don't be so pessimistic." Li Yueying said softly.
"Actually, I think I can succeed. I'm just making preparations in all aspects." When he said this, Li Qiao smiled.
Seeing such a scene, the female cultivator had an inexplicable sentence in her mind: Some monks are willing to die in intertwined fantasies rather than face the hardships in reality.
Because this sentence was not appropriate to speak at this moment, she did not say it.
Seeing the other party's expression, Li Qiao could roughly guess what the other party was thinking, but he didn't explain much.
Most monks make breakthroughs one realm at a time, and it doesn't matter which realm they end up in. Although they are immortal cultivators, because there has not been a single immortal in the entire world of immortal cultivation for millions of years, most of the monks have a deep understanding of the realm. There are basically no high expectations for becoming an immortal, it is more of an effort.
Li Qiao is different. He knows that his ideas are a bit overestimating his capabilities, but he will go all out to overestimate his capabilities. He knows that this is taking a risk, but his goal is not just to achieve the integration period, but to become an immortal!
I generally know what combination, Mahayana, and transcending tribulations are like in the world of immortality. I don’t have much expectations. At most, they are stronger and have more longevity.
He wanted to know what it would be like to become an immortal.
Compared with the endless reverie of ordinary monks about the immortality of immortals, Li Qiao is more of a curiosity.
If immortals are omnipotent, why can't we see immortals come to the world? Although there are some legends in ancient times, there is nothing to prove the existence of immortals.
Is it true that as an immortal, a small action will have a huge impact on the entire world of immortality?
Or was it that after the immortal took action, the creatures would want to kneel down to the immortal when encountering an incident, so in the end the immortal chose to let the creatures in the world of immortality learn to solve problems on their own?
Is it best for true immortals to stay away from the world of immortality? Not to do good, not to do evil, just to pursue the truth?
Li Qiao knew that he was likely to perish at some point, and his ambition to become an immortal would disappear at that time, but he also knew that if he did not fight hard with his limited lifespan, he would have no chance of playing steadily.
No one in the world of immortality who is in the Tribulation Stage is stupid. If he is lucky enough to be promoted to the Tribulation Stage, the only thing that is better than others is to strive for a little more longevity, which may give him a little more chance of becoming an immortal.
In an instant, thousands of thoughts flashed through my mind.
Li Qiao didn't say anything after that, but entered the formation that he had arranged in advance when waiting for Li Yueying.
This is just an ordinary large formation, built to prevent it from being affected by small things that occur in the outside world, and driven by high-grade spiritual stones. The formation has a strong concealment effect. When Li Qiao entered it, the valley quickly returned to calm, making it difficult to detect any abnormalities.
Seeing this situation, Li Yueying did not stay outside openly, but found a place to hide.
After entering the formation, Li Qiao first adjusted his condition to the best, and then began the process of promotion and integration.
Promotion and integration, to put it bluntly, is the deeper integration of the monk's spiritual body and the soul. The most difficult thing is the process in which the soul comprehends the heaven and earth, and then reflects this perception of heaven and earth on itself, transforming the spiritual body into something like the inner heaven and earth.
The range of perception of monks has a limit, and the world is vast. Under normal circumstances, the range that a return to the void can perceive is not even one billionth of the entire world. A monk alone cannot achieve this kind of perception. .
Just like an ant wants to perceive the mountains, rivers and oceans, but it can only see the surroundings of the ant hole. How to perceive it? So we need to borrow external forces.
Monks use spiritual energy to practice throughout their lives, and the entire world of immortality is full of spiritual energy. If they have large spiritual veins, and the mind of the returning monk is combined with the spiritual veins, they can use the spiritual veins to sense the spiritual energy that exists in the world of immortality, and then feel the world.
The scope of using large-scale spiritual energy to achieve enlightenment is also limited. It can only be said to be like an ant standing on a stone, and spiritual energy is only one type in the world, so this kind of enlightenment is a bit illusory and not easy. Normal promotion will not save one out of ten.
The effect of ordinary spiritual veins is too weak, and it cannot even meet the minimum enlightenment requirements. If you use formations to strengthen it, it is like improving the effect of spiritual veins. In theory, the formations and spiritual veins with top-grade spiritual stones are not very effective in nature. Big difference, which is why Li Qiao tried to get promoted in Endless Method back then.
But in the endless sea, it was like day turned into night, completely blocking the perception of this world.
"This?" When Li Qiao turned on the cave state, Li Yueying, who was guarding the road not far away, immediately sensed it. She was surprised. After thinking about it, she guessed what the other party was thinking, and quickly calmed down.
However, Li Qiao, who was surrounded by dark spiritual power, did not wait until his spirit body was corroded by the dark spiritual power before repairing it with Lingsha as before. Instead, he immediately used Lingsha to form some protection on the surface of his body. The first time is to use the dark spiritual power to comprehend. This can reduce the loss of spiritual evil.
Before this, Li Qiao had already tried the blocking effect of Lingsha on the dark spiritual power, so he felt confident and bold to try it now. However, this was the first time that he completely wrapped his body with Lingsha, because it was too draining of Lingsha.
The moment after he started, his senses seemed to have become much more sensitive. Li Qiao understood the world according to the records of the promotion technique, but he changed the medium from spiritual veins to dark spiritual power in the void, because the monks only reached the stage of returning to the void. When I started to use dark spiritual power to practice, it was too difficult to communicate with the dark spiritual power.
As the spirit evil continued to be consumed, there was no progress. Originally, this should be the easiest step, but it directly became a big mountain blocking the way.
During the promotion process, Li Qiao's mentality was very peaceful. He had already thought about it. If the spirit demon was exhausted and he still couldn't communicate with the dark spiritual power, he would stop trying and try again after collecting the spirit demon. He didn't believe that he would continue to communicate. unsuccessful.
As time passed, the spiritual evil spirit was consumed, and Li Qiao finally vaguely connected with the dark spiritual power. However, this connection was fragile and unclear. According to the practice, the spiritual energy was like skin. The feeling in the arms is too far apart.
At this moment, Li Qiao didn't even think that he could be promoted successfully. He felt that there would be no danger, so he planned to give it a simple try and accumulate experience for the next promotion. So in the next moment, he began to spread his insights through dark spiritual power. Begin to understand the world.
In an instant, a hazy world began to appear in Li Qiao's perception. The characteristic of this world is that it is huge, and it continues to extend as the perception spreads, seemingly endless.
Although the normal perception of the world is illusory, it is very clear. Li Qiao's perception seems to be covered with a layer of fog, there is a huge difference, but the quantity makes up for the quality gap.
As the perception of this hazy world arises, the body and soul begin to undergo countless subtle changes in response to this perception, and this process is uncontrollable.
"It's dangerous!" If the perception is insufficient, this reaction will not occur. The emergence of this perception means that the promotion may be successful, but it also means danger.
If the physical changes are harmful, the monk may be wiped out directly or suffer serious injuries that are difficult to heal.
Li Qiao is also more dangerous than other returning cultivators. If the body changes for too long and the spiritual evil is exhausted, he will be gradually corroded by the dark spiritual power and eventually fall.
He had no means of replenishing the spirit evil. Even if he was prepared, he would not be able to replenish it in this current state. He could only leave everything to fate.
Fortunately, it didn't take long, only half an hour, the subtle transformation between the spirit body and the soul was completed. Li Qiao regained control of his body again, and he stopped the 'Dongxu' state for the first time.
The next moment, a momentum surged into the sky, and he felt like his whole body was reborn.
Li Yueying, who stayed nearby, also sensed this situation at the same time.
Is this a successful promotion? As the only witness, she couldn't believe it.
The other party obviously still has close to 2,000 yuan of life, why not just play it safe and steady, there is also a chance of promotion, why take such a risk, this is what she thought the most before. Until now, the other party succeeded, she felt that too many thoughts were in the face of reality. It's pale. The other party succeeded. This is the biggest truth.
Success is not yet certain, and even if it succeeds, there may be hidden dangers! She thought again.
But soon she gave up most of her thoughts. She only had one thought. If the other party succeeded and confirmed that there was no problem, would she also have a chance to succeed in promotion in this way?
Her thoughts at this moment were complicated.
