Because it is close to the blue ocean.
Shortly after the fleet set off, in order to prevent the demon cultivators from attacking again, they finally no longer grudged the spiritual stones and activated the shield. As a result, the frequency of sea monster attacks on ships has been greatly reduced.
In the following days, the fleet remained under martial law.
The boundless sea is the territory of sea beasts, and it is full of dangers for the monks, especially now that something happened to the Demon Saint, no one knows what they will encounter next.
As the sky gets clearer, the color of the sea water also turns green.
These two points showed that the fleet was not far from the blue sea.
The rest of the journey went extremely smoothly.
Except for a few attacks by low-level sea beasts, there was no ambush from demon cultivators.
…
Less than half a month later.
The fleet arrived at Qingbi Haiyuan smoothly.
It was only here that Lu Zhong realized that there was such a magnificent scenery in the world of immortality. A ship sailing in it was like gliding in a piece of pure jade.
If you look carefully, you will find that the strange color of the sea water here is caused by a type of algae.
They gather in large numbers to form a wonderful scene in front of you.
Arriving at this iconic abyss, the fleet no longer has to go further into the Infinite Sea.
Next, we only need to go more than ten thousand miles south to bypass Wuding Sea. The second half of the journey is all about sailing in shallow waters, where there are not many powerful sea beasts, so sailing will become increasingly safer.
That night, Lu Zhong was sitting cross-legged in the quiet room.
The spiritual energy lingers around the body, and the green smoke of a jade plant curls up.
As he continued to exercise his power, the Ningbi Pill he had just taken was quickly refined, turned into pure spiritual energy, and was incorporated into his meridians, and then transported by Zhou Tian and transformed into mana.
In the process, the spiritual root plays a key role.
When you reach the Nascent Soul stage, you benefit from the powerful Yuanshen.
Lu Zhong finally saw clearly what kind of existence spiritual roots were. As described in the classics, it is a thing that is very similar to a tree root, rooted in the limbs and bones of the human body, somewhere between substance and insubstantial, and its function is similar to that of a tree root.
Monks need spiritual roots to transform the absorbed spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
"It is true that the roots are to the big tree..." Lu Zhong thought silently.
Compared with the previous life, the reason why this world is able to cultivate immortality is probably because many people have "spiritual roots" in their bodies, so they can use the power of heaven and earth to themselves and develop a glorious civilization of immortality.
But with his past life experience, he always felt that spiritual roots... seemed like foreign objects.
After all, people in previous lives did not have "organs" like spiritual roots.
"Is it my delusion? Or..."
Lu Zhong didn't think much about it.
Although he is currently at the Nascent Soul stage, he is at best a minor cultivation who has not even reached the top of his realm. Not to mention that above the lower realm, there is also the middle realm and the upper realm.
If you want to know the answer, you probably have to become an immortal.
Immediately, Lu Zhong restrained his mind to prevent his random thoughts during the cultivation process from being taken advantage of by the devil.
After refining a Ningbi Pill, he poured out another one and swallowed it.
In the process, the cultivation level increased little by little.
The increase is almost invisible, but in the eyes of Yuanying monks, this is really normal. After all, he is a monk who has built foundations and formed pills for hundreds of years. After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, if you want to see obvious progress in cultivation, you must at least change the time span to a hundred years.
Like Lu Zhong, who has been taking pills and practicing for a hundred years, his improvement in cultivation is quite impressive.
If you continue to practice like this, it shouldn't be difficult to successfully reach the bottleneck of your cultivation. Whether he can break through the bottleneck and advance his cultivation to the middle stage of Nascent Soul depends on personal opportunities.
Unknowingly, the number of exercises has reached the upper limit.
Seeing this, Lu Zhong had no choice but to stop practicing.
He took a long breath and slowly exited the cultivation state. Slowly opening his eyes, a flash of shock suddenly flashed in his eyes, but he realized something was wrong.
I saw that the quiet room that was originally brightly lit had become extremely dim at this moment.
There were wisps of white mist floating in the air.
And just outside the quiet room, there were twisted figures, standing in a circle with their teeth and claws open, whispering in private, and discussing how to take down Lu Zhong.
"Huh?" Lu Zhong looked surprised.
There was a flash of light between his eyebrows, and he realized that what he saw in front of him had not changed.
I still wasn't sure in my heart that what I was seeing at this moment was the real scene. So with the help of the scene retrieval in the gray fog space, I was alert to the unknown existences outside while checking the scene retrieval information. So that he could know what was happening outside when he was meditating and practicing.
The results will come out soon.
Just half an hour ago, without anyone noticing.
The fleet sailed into a barrier.
Those twisted figures were not Lu Zhong's hallucination, nor were they transformed by the monks on the ship, who were all asleep at the moment. The reason for the appearance of these unknown beings, based on his speculation based on the information he knew, should be that he did not fall into a deep sleep like others.
There was no time to think about why he didn't fall asleep.
At this time, Lu Zhong discovered that the twisted figures outside the quiet room had already discussed the outcome.
I saw their figures skyrocketing, and their already twisted figures changed drastically, becoming even more ferocious and terrifying. Then there were bursts of sinister laughter, and they all broke in through the doors and windows.
In an instant, unspeakable noise filled Lu Zhong's ears.
Only then did he see their true face clearly. Even though these things were twisted, they looked like a big spider. However, every part of the body, including the arms holding weapons, and the ones responsible for supporting the huge The feet of the body are all spliced together from limbs.
"Body grafting religion?" A term came to Lu Zhong's mind.
I saw myself connecting the monsters in front of me with the long-destroyed limb grafting cult.
He felt ridiculous from the bottom of his heart.
Not to mention how many thousands of miles separate the Southern Barbarians from each other. Even if the limb-sect cult really resurrects, with the strength they showed in the past, it doesn't seem like they have the ability to create these monsters.
After all, each of them is no less powerful than a pill-forming monk.
The original Jiedan Sect could be easily wiped out by just the Jiedan Sect.
Think no more.
Lu Zhong took out the Qingding Sword and slashed out sword rays.
As early as in the previous retracement, he had determined that these monsters, although they looked strange in appearance and their origins could not be ascertained for the time being, were all things that could be killed.
"Since you can be killed, what's there to be afraid of?"
After a while, the nine spliced monsters that rushed into the quiet room were all killed by Lu Zhong's sword.
Then he rushed straight to Shui Ni's room.
Sure enough, she was not attacked by monsters while she was sleeping.
Seeing this, Lu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly came to the bed and saw Shui Ni's eyelids trembling as he kept struggling to wake up. And every time at this time, the mist floating in the air would become conscious, surging towards her body.
When the mist poured in more, Shui Ni's resistance stopped.
