Li Yuanba returned to Shiwanda Mountain from the sphere of influence of Zhengdao. During this period, he continued to use random changes in routes to ensure that his route would not be predicted.
But his worries were obviously in vain. He had been waiting for him to return to Senluo Sect's Wanjian Peak, but he did not encounter another interception from Qianye Temple.
As for the actions that Senluo Sect wanted to target him, they could not find out his whereabouts. After learning that he had left the sect, they had been searching for his whereabouts, but it was not until he returned to the sect that he could be found. Know his exact location.
When he arrived at the sect, he hid in Wanjian Peak.
Even the monks in the sect didn't even have a chance to see Li Yuanba, let alone his cultivation.
This was something he deliberately concealed. Once he became a golden elixir monk, he would no longer have to fear anything.
Not long after returning to the sect, he learned about the Arhat of Wisdom and Arhat of Wisdom.
The Arhat of Wisdom was killed, and a sage from Chiba Temple came forward to bring back the Arhat of Wisdom. It was rumored in the sect that Chiba Temple paid a heavy price to the Senluo Sect for this.
No wonder Qianye Temple didn't have the energy to track down Li Yuanba. The wise Arhat couldn't rest in peace when he was chased by many demon cultivators in Shiwan Mountain.
By the time the Wisdom Arhat was rescued, Li Yuanba had returned to Senluo Sect.
"It will be even more troublesome in the future!" Li Yuanba murmured to himself as he gently touched a ring on his right hand with the fingers of his left hand.
This ring is the space ring belonging to Zhixin Arhat. The origin of this space ring cannot be revealed among the righteous forces, but within the sphere of influence of the Senluo Sect, its origin is clear, so there is nothing to worry about.
The reason why he said this was because Qianye Temple definitely knew that he cut off the arm of Zhixin Arhat and took away the space ring.
In other words, Chibaji knew that he had the jade-foot relics of the Shenzu Tong lineage and the heart-shaped relics of his Shintong lineage.
Even if it has nothing to do with his reincarnation, these two magical inheritance relics alone will prevent Qianye Temple from letting him go.
Of course, there is absolutely no problem for him to stay in the Senluo Sect, but as long as he leaves the sect, Chiba Temple will continue to track and arrest him.
Being an enemy of a large sect like Qianye Temple, even if he is a true disciple of Senluo Sect, he is already hostile to Qianye Temple and feels great pressure.
Sect hostility and personal enmity are two different things, especially since he was only a foundation-building monk, which left him with little power to protect himself in front of Qianye Temple.
However, the pressure also gave him motivation. This time he fought two Arhats and successfully cut off the arm of one Arhat. Although the fighting method was extremely strange, it still made his sword power powerful again.
Faced with the suppression of the two Arhats, Sword Intent was finally released, which is extremely important for the growth of Sword Intent.
What he practiced was the 'Sword Intention Chongxiao Technique'. When the sword intention grew, his cultivation was left with the accumulation of spiritual power.
One month after returning to the sect, he successfully reached the peak of foundation building after taking nearly a dozen top-level elixirs.
That night, the round moon hung in the sky, illuminating Wanjian Peak as if it were covered with a layer of white snow.
The nearly four-meter-tall corpse was facing the moon, swallowing the cold energy triggered by the moon. The whole body of the corpse was pitch black, with silver light flashing on its skin from time to time.
This is a sign that the corpse-refining state has reached the peak of the iron corpse. It is not surprising that the iron corpse appears in Senluo Sect, but this iron corpse has a gold hoop on its head, which looks particularly weird.
This was Li Yuanba's corpse-refining state. During the day, he took a top-level spiritual pill, which completely filled the spiritual lake in his body without any gaps.
The 'Sword Intention Chongxiao Technique' he practiced is one of the top techniques in the world of immortal cultivation. In addition, due to the effect of the sword intention, the spiritual power in the sword cultivator's body is far more pure than other monks, so when he fills in the After filling the spiritual lake, there is almost no need to compress the spiritual power in the body to reach the ultimate peak of foundation building.
As long as he has some insights at this time, he can break through the foundation building stage and advance to the golden elixir stage.
Of course, there will never be one person in thousands of years who can truly be promoted to the Golden Core stage so smoothly.
The vast majority of peak-level foundation-building monks have gone through constant training to elevate their bodies and spirits to the extreme, forming a special state with the spiritual lake in their bodies, which is the Half-Step Golden Pill.
In fact, the half-step golden elixir is not a necessary step in the process of becoming an elixir, but a helpless compromise. If you can directly achieve the elixir, who would be willing to waste decades of time.
Becoming a half-step golden elixir is a kind of comfort obtained after decades of wasted time.
The half-step golden elixir is only half a step away from the golden elixir stage, but the difficulty of this half step, if there is no corresponding opportunity and the inability to realize the last step, may be the end of cultivation.
Li Yuanba also had thoughts about becoming a pill. This body's talent was excellent, but the talent of who could become a peak foundation-building monk would be inferior.
He estimated that he would most likely stay at the peak stage of foundation building for a long time, and eventually achieve a half-step golden elixir first, and then consider completing the elixir.
He estimated that the time it would take for him to become a pill is three years. This is a goal that he can only achieve if he has a sufficient supply of top-grade spiritual pills and the support of top-grade techniques such as the 'Sword Intent Climb to the Sky Technique'.
At night, he transformed into the corpse-refining state and practiced as usual. The practice of the corpse-refining state came from the instinct of corpse-refining, absorbing the cold energy between heaven and earth for his own use.
The spiritual lake in his body disappeared when he was in the state of corpse refining. When he faced the round moon, due to the effect of his cultivation during the day, the yin and yang in his body could not reach balance in the state of corpse refining.
The corpse-refining body actively attracts the yin-cold energy between heaven and earth into the body to replenish the imbalance between yin and yang caused by the lack of balance.
Outside Wanjian Peak, Elder Yue stood in the air. Due to the mountain-protecting formation, he could not sense the situation inside the formation.
For Wan Jianfeng, he is bound to win.
He knows more secrets than other Jindan elders in the sect. He knows that Elder Jian has a great chance of being in seclusion to attack the Nascent Soul realm.
He knew even more about the agreement between Elder Jian and Patriarch Lu. Regardless of Elder Jian's failure to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, even if Elder Jian succeeded in being promoted to a Nascent Soul monk, he would not stay in Senluo Sect.
If Elder Jian breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, Wan Jianfeng will lose its effect on Elder Jian.
In other words, the competitor for the ownership of Wanjianfeng that he needs to deal with is Elder Jian's disciple Li Yuanba.
Now Elder Jian is in seclusion, and Patriarch Lu is also in seclusion. As long as he doesn't hurt Li Yuanba's life, even if he robs Wanjianfeng, it is just a conflict within the sect. The ancestor above him is enough to protect him.
Refining Wan Jianfeng into a magic weapon is enough for him to replace Elder Jian and become the strongest monk in the Golden Core Stage. In his opinion, it is also a good thing for the sect.
In the comparison of benefits and losses, Elder Yue made a choice.
Of course, it was impossible for him to attack Li Yuanba within the sect, but many previous arrangements had failed.
After hearing that Li Yuanba had returned to the sect, he came to Wanjianfeng in person, wanting to meet with Li Yuanba and try to get Li Yuanba to voluntarily give up Wanjianfeng through an exchange of interests.
Elder Yue cast a spell, but received no response.
He let go of his spiritual thoughts and found that Wan Jianfeng's formation was fully activated, which showed that Li Yuanba was very vigilant about his own safety.
"Hey, how come there is Yinhan energy flowing in?" His spiritual mind sensed the changes in Yinhan energy, and he couldn't help but said to himself in surprise.
As far as he knew, Elder Sword's disciple Li Yuanba was a pure swordsman with extremely high talent.
Elder Sword seeks disciples based on their own talents. Although over the years, Senluo Sect has also accepted many disciples with sword cultivation talents, but these disciples have learned more or less because they were born in the Demon Sect's sphere of influence. The magic cultivation technique did not win the favor of Elder Jian.
It wasn't until the appearance of Li Yuanba, who had mastered the sword intention in the early stage of foundation building, and whose main skill was pure sword cultivation, that he was chosen as a disciple by Elder Jian.
"Is Li Yuanba practicing magic?" Elder Yue thought maliciously.
He thought again that maybe it was really possible. When Li Yuanba was traveling, he was attacked many times. Especially the last time, he asked the Jindan cultivator Niu Ziru to take action. For some reason Niu Ziru failed to succeed and disappeared instead. .
I believe that Li Yuanba may have chosen the magic technique because he sensed the danger and the sword cultivation technique was too slow.
Demonic cultivation skills advance very quickly. If the talent is good enough and the resources are sufficient, the skills of the other Buddhist and Taoist sects will advance much faster.
In addition, the power of the magic cultivation technique is also extremely strong, especially the weirdness and unpredictability of it, making it difficult for the enemy to guard against it.
Therefore, even some righteous monks, after obtaining the demonic cultivation techniques, cannot stand the temptation and take the initiative to practice the demonic cultivation techniques to improve their combat power.
When encountering danger and unable to cope with their own combat power, demonic cultivation techniques are the helpless choice of many monks.
Elder Yue thought of this, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
"In that case, I will help you once!" He muttered to himself.
He took out the jade disk of his identity, and then used his authority to control the sect's formation, mobilizing a large amount of cold energy towards Wanjian Peak.
Senluo Sect is a demon sect, and many of its monks practice demonic arts. Most of the demonic arts require the assistance of yin-cold energy, so the sect has a formation specifically designed to provide yin-cold energy.
This formation converts the spiritual power spitted out from the spiritual veins into cold energy, and then guides it through special channels to caves everywhere that need cold energy.
Elder Yue wanted to speed up the progress of Li Yuanba's practice of magic skills, but he knew that the cold energy of the magic skills conflicted with the sword intention of the sword cultivator. Once Li Yuanba succeeded in the magic skills, his identity as the true successor of the sword cultivator would be in doubt. .
He mobilized a large amount of cold energy that he could mobilize, and poured it into Wanjian Peak.
Anyway, this behavior is not considered an attack, but can be said to be a sign of love and care for the younger generation.
Li Yuanba did not expect that such a situation would occur. When the corpse refining state was fully absorbing the cold energy, a large amount of cold energy suddenly came over.
The cultivation of the corpse-refining state itself is an instinctive absorption behavior and is not under his control.
That is to say, he is a Tai Chi Taoist. The human state and the corpse-refining state will independently maintain a balance by absorbing energy. Otherwise, without the corpse-refining cultivation method, it is impossible for the corpse-refining state to have such a cultivation effect.
He realized that something was wrong, but it was already a step too late. A large amount of cold energy was absorbed into the corpse refining body.
The corpse-refining body, which was almost four meters high, expanded again. This was because there was too much cold energy. If his corpse-refining body hadn't been strong enough, it might have exploded right now. .
His red eyes were filled with horror. He wanted to return to his human state, but was unable to do so due to the cold energy in his body.
What's even more frightening is that there is a constant flow of cold energy outside, and his corpse-refining body is still absorbing the cold energy.
He wanted to intervene in the changes in the body, but the corpse-refining body was completely different from the human body, and human cultivation techniques were of no use to the corpse-refining body.
He now regrets why he didn't think of finding a corpse refining technique.
In the past two years, he did find that there were corpse-refining techniques in the Senluo Sect, but those techniques were not of high grade and the effect was not good. They were all simple techniques that the demon cultivators had learned during the sacrifice and corpse-refining process.
Anyway, the speed at which he absorbed cold energy during the corpse-refining state met his requirements, so he did not go to the corpse-refining state to practice the technique.
The cold energy was rushing around in his body, and his body in the corpse-refining state was extremely strong, allowing him to endure the collision of energy in his body.
Li Yuanba's heart was filled with explosive thoughts that were rapidly expanding. He had the idea of desperately charging for a fight.
He soon realized that this was due to the accumulation of too much cold energy, which was affecting his mind.
He quickly calmed down and let his mind relax to reduce the influence from the cold energy.
He only hopes that the influx of cold energy from outside will end soon. It will be daytime in a while, and the cold energy between heaven and earth will be greatly reduced. By then, he may be able to survive this crisis.
When his mind was empty, his body was hit by cold energy again and again, and his corpse-refining body had reached the peak of the iron corpse, and the surface of his body flashed with silver light.
Li Yuanba's unintentional move forced the corpse-refining body to deal with the accident instinctively.
After the cold energy in his body washed away countless times, every bone, every muscle, and every inch of skin in the corpse-refining body turned into silver, and its defense was greatly enhanced.
When the strength of the corpse-refining body reaches a certain level, the cold energy in the body gathers towards his heart.
Above his heart, the yin-cold energy collided crazily. The previous collision was not over yet, and more yin-cold energy gathered from the whole body collided.
This kind of collision would cause the corpse-refining body to completely collapse if its strength were even slightly weaker.
Maybe it was a breath, or the time of a stick of incense, or an hour. When Li Yuanba's mind was empty, he had no concept of time. He only felt a black hole-like substance appearing above his heart.
