This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 402 The Fifth Implant (Long Chapter)

"What is your purpose in entering Tianshui's Tomb?"

Li Fei asked Ye Zhao.

He didn't think Xintian would be so kind-hearted and deliberately create the current situation just to help Xu Jing and Lu Wenzhen kill people.

"Killing you is one of the purposes. The main purpose is to obtain the soul core of the eighth-grade Tianshui Canghun beast."

Ye Zhao did not hesitate and directly stated his purpose.

There is no oath or spell involved in these contents, so he can say whatever he wants.

"What is a soul core?"

"The soul core is the most important thing of the Tianshui Canghun Beast. It contains fragments of the Dao."

"Fragments of the Dao."

Li Fei had heard Shi Caiming mention this before.

Shi Caiming once told him that every kind of supernatural power can be regarded as a part of the Great Dao, an incomplete Dao principle, or a fragment of the Dao principle.

Martial arts masters constantly condense different magical powers and combine them together, which is equivalent to piecing together the fragments of the Tao. The ultimate goal is to piece together a complete Tao.

The realm of martial arts is the prototype of the great way composed of several fragments of the Dao, and it is only one step away from becoming a Dao.

Because the top three grades of strange beasts all possess magical powers, they all have fragments of the Tao in their bodies.

Body tissues containing Dao fragments can also be considered as an implant.
Theoretically, as long as one obtains an implant containing fragments of the Dao, it would be relatively easy to condense supernatural powers.

But in fact, the implants that martial arts masters incorporate are only middle-third-grade implants.

The reason for this is related to the way of practice in this world.

The origin of martial arts comes from implants. Human beings are weak and do not have any special supernatural abilities. They can only embark on the path of supernatural powers by absorbing the body tissues of exotic animals, that is, implants.

However, the human body, which has not undergone any enhancement, cannot withstand too powerful implants, so we can only start with the lower three grades of exotic beasts.

Although the warrior's physique has become stronger, in order to build a foundation of Taoism, the five implants must be balanced. The first implant uses the lower three grades, and the next four implants can only use the lower three grades.

After building the foundation and becoming a martial arts master, if one wants to condense new magical powers, one also needs to incorporate implants. However, because one's own foundation is composed of five lower-level implants, if one directly incorporates an upper-level implant, the balance in the body will be broken.

Therefore, martial arts masters can only incorporate middle-third-grade implants, step by step, and condense new magical powers through multiple middle-third-grade implants.

After becoming a grandmaster from a martial arts master, a martial artist will completely lose the need for implants.

Because the realm of martial arts is already the prototype of the Tao, martial artists have already found their own "Tao" and do not need to add other forces. Whether they can eventually "achieve the Tao" depends on themselves.

From initially seeking outside to finally seeking inside, this is the way of practice in this world.

Historians have repeatedly expressed their admiration that the predecessors who practiced Buddhism thousands of years ago were truly far-sighted.

Fortunately, the path of practice that was created ultimately looks inward rather than following inertia, and also requires the incorporation of the top three implants.

Because the number of lower three and middle three grade exotic beasts is the largest, they have a certain possibility of breeding.

But the number of top three grade exotic beasts is too small, and it is impossible to breed them!
In this age when even middle-level third-grade exotic beasts are extremely rare, upper-level third-grade exotic beasts are even rarer.

If the cultivation of Grand Masters and Martial Saints requires the incorporation of top three implants, then there would probably be only a few Grand Masters and Martial Saints in the world today.

It is even possible that there are no more top-level strong men now.

The practice of the art of magic is similar to this. If you want to control the weapon with the human, you must do it step by step:

First, use the lower three grade implants in the body to control the lower three grade implants in the magic weapon.

Once one's own false thoughts become real, transformed into true power, and true spirit is refined, then one can continue to strengthen the magic weapon and incorporate it into the middle third grade implant.

But the special thing about the art of magic is that as long as the realm is raised, there is no need to start from the most basic level when refining magic tools.

For example, if a real person wants to refine a new magical weapon, as long as he has good enough materials, he does not have to use the lower three-grade implants as he did at the beginning, but can directly use the middle three-grade implants.

Top-level masters can even directly use third-grade implants to refine weapons!
Grandmasters and Martial Saints have no need for third-grade implants because they cannot replace their own bodies.

But True Men and True Lords can replace their magical instruments.

Although the top three implants can also be used to refine magic weapons or magic clothes, in terms of cost-effectiveness, refining top-level magic tools is definitely the best choice.

So when Li Fei learned that Xintianhui was planning to obtain the soul core of the eighth-grade Tianshui Canghun beast containing fragments of the Dao, he immediately thought that Xintianhui might have a top-level real person!
"A top-level real person in your organization wants to use the soul core of the eighth-grade Tianshui Canghun beast to refine a magical weapon?"

Li Fei asked.

Ye Zhao didn't say anything when he heard this, nor did he nod or shake his head.

"Is there no way to tell you this?"

Li Fei understood.

Ye Zhao nodded.

"The soul core of the eighth-grade Tianshui Canghun beast is in that cave?"

Li Fei asked, pointing at the cave in the distance.

Ye Zhao: "Yes. This soul core is the key to maintaining this dead zone. Once it is taken away, this dead zone will completely collapse. According to the original plan, after we take away the soul core, the Tianshui Tomb will collapse, and we will evacuate along the underground river."

"No wonder you dare to come in."

Although Li Fei did not see how Youming and others came in, he thought that this incident must have alarmed the people outside, after all, none of the subsequent people came in.

In this situation, even if the people outside were fools, they would know to mobilize heavy troops and experts to surround the entire area, wait for Youming and others to come out and fall into the trap.

Therefore, in the plan of Youming and others, there was no option of returning along the original route.

They wanted to destroy the entire Tianshui Tomb and then withdraw from the underground river.

If Li Fei, the imperial court, Hongchen Pavilion and Tianyi Tower hadn't been here this time, they wouldn't have to think about sending people into this dead zone to take treasures in the future.

"How did you get in? Why can a martial arts master come in?"

Li Fei continued to ask.

"Youming has a short blade made of Tianshui soul bones and soul core fragments. This can be used to cut open the cracks and help us find the burial place of the eighth-grade Tianshui Canghun beast."

"That short blade is made from Tianshui soul bone?"

Li Fei's mind moved, and a stream of water energy wrapped around Youming's two bodies and came towards this side.

Then he took the emerald short blade from Youming.

"What level of Tianshui soul bone is it?"

Li Fei asked.

Ye Zhao: "Seventh rank."

A smile appeared on Li Fei's face.

He got what he wanted.

He definitely couldn't directly incorporate the seventh-grade Tianshui soul bone, as this would cause an imbalance in other implants in his body.

However, Shi Caiming only asked him to take back the Tianshui soul bone, and did not limit the grade. It seems that there must be some way to lower the grade of the Tianshui soul bone so that it can be taken in by Li Fei.

"What dangers are there in that cave?"

Li Fei put away the short blade and pointed at the cave and asked.

"That is the burial place of the eighth-grade Tianshui Canghun Beast. There is the soul shadow of the eighth-grade Tianshui Canghun Beast in it. It has supernatural powers and is very likely to be able to control the other soul shadows, including the soul shadow of the seventh-grade Tianshui Canghun Beast!"

Ye Zhao said, “The reason why we let Youming in this time is because only a martial arts master can take away the soul core.”

Li Fei nodded, weighed his current combat power, and finally decided to give up entering the cave.

After a battle, although he killed Youming, he also consumed a lot of energy.

The blood souls in the Ten Thousand Blood Pearls are recovering, and currently there are only 67 blood souls.

There are 257 blood souls left in the blood spring.

The total number of blood souls added up to just over 300, which really made Li Fei feel insecure.

He definitely cannot defeat a soul shadow with magical powers now, not to mention that this soul shadow can summon other soul shadows with magical powers.

"I've gained a lot, there's no need to continue wasting time."

Li Fei prepared to pack up and leave.

This time, he not only obtained the Tianshui soul bone he wanted, but his Ten Thousand Blood Pearls also upgraded to a higher level.

After a tough battle with Youming, the fourth implant [Qinggu] also stimulated core-level extraordinary abilities!

Li Fei's mind moved, and all the wounds on his body that were cut by the mist of the [Tengyun] magical power disappeared.

Generally speaking, among the extraordinary abilities contained in a martial arts foundation, at least one is of a healing nature, and is usually activated by water or wood implants.

[Hunyuan Tianjin] is no exception. The fourth implant, the wood-attributed [Qinggu], stimulates a core-level supernatural power, which is a healing supernatural power - Qingshen.

The core-level supernatural powers of the healing category all have their own characteristics. Some can regenerate severed limbs, some can store energy in advance, and some can even prolong life.

The characteristic of 'Qingshen' is that it can not only heal physical damage, but also mental damage.

If the spiritual level is severely damaged, it can be cured by "Qing Shen".

There are very few drugs or methods in this world that can treat mental trauma, so the "Green God" that Li Fei stimulated can be regarded as a very rare supernatural ability.

Moreover, another feature of 'Qingshen' is that Li Fei can use it not only for himself but also for others. Therefore, Li Fei can become a spiritual doctor with the help of 'Qingshen'.

However, for Li Fei, with Ten Thousand Blood Pearls to heal his injuries, he doesn't need to heal himself very often.

Even though he was strangled by 'Dark Yun Tianze' before, he only suffered some superficial injuries.

It seems that he has activated the 'Green God', which can only be used to heal teammates in the future.

However, after Li Fei activated the 'Green God', the first thing he thought of was not treatment, but attack!

The upper limit of [Blood Rage] depends on the upper limit of his body's tolerance. After using [Blood Rage] and then using Vajra Seal·Dragon Elephant, the power exceeds the upper limit of his body's tolerance, and it will cause damage to the body each time, but Ten Thousand Blood Pearls can transfer this damage.

But if the damage was caused directly by [Blood Rage], the Ten Thousand Blood Pearls could not be transferred. When Li Fei and Gu Yuefeng had an open duel, the last blow he made to break the opponent's realm, the power of [Blood Rage] exceeded the upper limit of his body's endurance, causing him to be seriously injured!

Now that he has 'Qingshen', Li Fei doesn't have to worry so much about getting hurt.

He can use [Blood Rage] to launch an attack beyond his limit, and then use 'Green God' to heal and recover.

In this way, the upper limit of strength is raised again!
In addition to these gains, there is also the sword left by Youming, which is a level six exotic weapon.

The most valuable thing is the black boat left behind by Zhu San.

This is a flying magic weapon, which is extremely difficult to refine and very rare.

Now, this flying magic weapon is Li Fei's trophy.

He placed the bodies of Youming and Zhu San on the black boat, intending to take these things out with him.

Even if the two people are dead, their bodies can serve as clues and evidence.

Li Fei searched out a domain-breaking talisman from Zhu San's body. Together with the one in Ye Zhao's hand, it was enough for the two of them to leave.

Although the emerald green short blade can also cut cracks in the death zone, it requires supernatural power to activate it, which Li Fei cannot use.

As for the two domain-breaking talismans he brought in, they had been destroyed in the 'Dark Cloud Sky Lake' before.

So Li Fei could only use the Xin Tian Hui's domain-breaking talisman to leave, which made him feel a little regretful.

Only a grandmaster can create the Domain Breaking Talisman. Based on the two Domain Breaking Talismans of the Xin Tian Hui, maybe we can follow the clues and find a grandmaster of the Xin Tian Hui!

Of course, it is also possible that this grandmaster is Xu Jing, which is what Li Fei would like to see most.

Unfortunately, Li Fei can only use these two domain-breaking talismans now.

Of course, he could also choose to kill Ye Zhao and take away an extra corpse and a domain-breaking talisman.

But compared to inanimate objects, Li Fei felt that a living person was more useful.

He held two domain-breaking talismans in his hands and injected powerful energy into them at the same time.

A few seconds later, two dazzling lights enveloped Li Fei and Ye Zhao.

The light turned into a beam of light, breaking through the water surface and reaching the top of Tianshui's Tomb.

The water rippled, and the Tianshui Tomb began to shake again, and the surrounding water energy and extreme coldness also became turbulent.

After a few seconds, the shaking of Tianshui Tomb became more and more violent.

Li Fei frowned, instinctively feeling that something was wrong.

He turned to look at Ye Zhao, his eyes filled with murderous intent:
"Is there something wrong with this Domain Breaking Talisman?!"

Ye Zhao was startled and shook his head quickly, "Impossible! This domain-breaking talisman was given to Zhu San and me to prevent us from getting separated from You Ming, so that we can get out on our own. Zhu San has a flying magic weapon, so even if a dragnet is laid out outside, we at least have a chance to escape."

Li Fei carefully observed Ye Zhao's expression and judged that the other party should not be lying.

Ye Zhao is so young but already has combat power comparable to the top three in the Fengyun rankings. It must have taken a lot of effort for Xintian to train him and they will not give up easily.

So the night photo theory is also logical.

"What went wrong?"

Li Fei felt the waters around him becoming increasingly turbulent, and he began to feel a little uneasy.

Suddenly, several huge shadows appeared in the distance.

It's the soul shadow!
And judging from their size and the aura they emit, these soul shadows should all be generated by the seventh-grade Tianshui Canghun Beast!

Li Fei's face was solemn and he clenched the Ghost Slashing Sword in his hand.

With the recovery of [Blood Breath], the blood souls in the Ten Thousand Blood Pearls recovered to 229, plus the 257 in the Blood Spring, a total of 486 blood souls.

With only these 486 blood souls, he really didn't have the confidence to deal with several soul shadows with magical powers.

boom--

There was another violent earthquake underwater.

Li Fei turned his head and looked at the cave where the eighth-grade Tianshui Canghun Beast was buried. He saw red liquid like magma gushing out of the cave!

The temperature of the originally extremely cold waters suddenly increased a lot.

"Woo——"

A low, vast roar that seemed to contain the vicissitudes of thousands of years suddenly resounded throughout the Tianshui Tomb.

The sound did not travel through the water, but instead rang directly in the minds of Li Fei and Ye Zhao.

This is an ancient meaning that human beings cannot bear. It carries the accumulation of thousands of years, like a vast river of time washing away the human soul!
After hearing this voice, the first thing you will feel is how insignificant you are, like an ant in the sky, or a mayfly in the ocean!

Ye Zhao immediately lost his mind and his eyes became dazed.

Li Fei had a "sense of danger" and had visualized the image of Ding'e Vajra in his mind in advance. In addition, his mental power was one level stronger than Ye Zhao's, so his mind was not lost. However, he was also overwhelmed by the vast and ancient meaning and found it difficult to think about anything else.

This is not a kind of harm to the mind, but a kind of control, or submission!

At the same time, the short blade in Li Fei's arms began to glow without any power being injected into it.

The emerald green light enveloped Li Fei.

Soon, a Tianshui beast only a dozen meters long swam out of the cave.

This Tianshui beast is different from the other soul shadows. It looks very real and has the breath of life!
It immediately turned its gaze towards Li Fei who was enveloped in emerald green light.

With a hint of sadness in its eyes, the Tianshui beast let out another long roar.

The soul shadows of the seventh-grade Tianshui Canghun beasts that rushed over here surrounded the Tianshui beast in the middle, then lowered their heads in a gesture of submission.

This Tianshui beast is the king of this tribe, the creator of this dead zone, and the soul shadow of the eighth-grade Tianshui Canghun beast!
It looked around and saw that the entire dead zone was collapsing!

In fact, this dead zone has been maintained until now and has reached its limit.

In recent decades, a crack has appeared every few years, which is a sign that the dead zone is about to collapse.

If everything goes as usual, this dead zone will completely collapse in about ten years.

But Li Fei fought with You Ming and others and first destroyed all the Tianshui beast souls below the seventh rank. Then a martial arts domain appeared and consumed the death domain.

These actions are accelerating the collapse of the dead zone.

Now Li Fei activates the Domain Breaking Talisman, which forcibly opens a crack from the inside of the Dead Zone, and will also cause damage to the Dead Zone.

The two domain-breaking talismans became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The Tianshui Tomb can no longer hold on!

The soul shadow of the eighth-grade Tianshui Canghun beast was forced to wake up from its slumber.

It let out another long howl, and the soul shadows of several seventh-grade Tianshui Canghun beasts around it swam towards it, and then merged into its body, as if they had become one with it.

After doing all this, this powerful soul shadow swam towards Li Fei, who was standing on the black boat with blue light all over his body.

It crashed directly into Li Fei's chest and merged into the emerald green short blade.

At this moment, Li Fei had just come back to his senses from the ancient feeling. Before he could react, he felt a heat in his chest, and then a stream of extremely cold water rushed into his body.

Li Fei subconsciously covered his chest and exerted his strength to try to get rid of the cold current.

However, the Hunyuan Vajra Force was completely frozen as soon as it came into contact with the cold current, and then the cold current flowed through Li Fei's limbs and bones at an extremely fast speed.

Eventually, all these cold currents converge towards the Dantian.

Li Fei was shocked to find that this cold current was merging into his own Taoist foundation!
The three implants, [Steel Armor], [Phantom Foot] and [Flame Core], have all completed the "unification" and are intertwined at the Dantian.

The remaining [Green Bone] has not yet completed the 'reunification', and there are still many branches throughout Li Fei's body. The main body is also intertwined with the other three implants in the Dantian.

This is Li Fei’s foundation of Taoism.

Now, this external cold current is forcibly integrating into the four intertwined implants!

This is a very dangerous thing for any warrior, but Li Fei has no way to stop it.

His strength would be frozen as soon as it touched the cold current, and his mental power would not be able to take effect on it. When the cold current was integrated into his Taoist foundation, he would have even less ability to do anything with it.

Soon, all four implants suffered damage.

Under normal circumstances, Li Fei’s foundation should have collapsed instantly, and he would have become a useless person, or even dead.

But fortunately, he had Ten Thousand Blood Pearls, which transferred the damage sustained by the implant. The remaining 1% of damage could be easily healed by activating the newly activated 'Green God'.

But the blood soul in the Ten Thousand Blood Pearls is decreasing rapidly!
After the blood souls of Ten Thousand Blood Pearls were reduced to only 10, Li Fei used the blood souls in the blood spring.

There are still 257 blood souls left in the blood spring. If these blood souls are used up and his Taoist foundation is still suffering serious damage, Li Fei will definitely die today!

Li Fei tried to sense the changes in his dantian as calmly as possible, and tried his best to think of a way to break the impasse.

He discovered that this cold current was actually trying to integrate into his own Taoist foundation and build a balanced system with the other four implants.

From this perspective, this cold current can be considered a water-attribute implant, and it seems to be very compatible with the other four implants and can together form the foundation of the Tao.

"Could this cold current be the Tianshui Soul Bone?"

Li Fei had such a guess.

Only this can explain why a strange implant entering one's own foundation would fit in with the other four implants.

Because the Tianshui soul bone is the fifth implant that Li Fei needs, it is a part of the real [Hunyuan Tianjin]!
But the problem now is that Li Fei has not yet "reunited" the [Green Bone], so it cannot be integrated into the fifth implant.

And the most serious problem is that the 'Tianshui Soul Bone' integrated into Li Fei's body is obviously of much higher grade, and there is no way to achieve a balance with the other four implants of the lower three grades!
This causes the other four implants to continue to suffer damage and could collapse at any time.

"There must be a way, calm down!"

Li Fei tried hard not to look at how many blood souls were left in the blood fountain. He tried hard to think of a solution:
"Physical strength is useless, and mental strength is useless. Controlling four implants to suppress the cold current? No, the power gap is too big. External force is needed, external force. That's right!"

Li Fei immediately transformed part of his mental power into virtual thoughts, and then injected it all into the Ru Meng Ling.

For other warriors, there is no external force to borrow at this time.

But Li Fei is a master of both magic and martial arts, and he also has some magic to use!
When Li Fei injected his virtual thoughts into the Ru Meng Ling, the entire Tianshui Tomb had already begun to collapse, and there were only 128 blood souls left in his blood spring.
PS: This chapter is two chapters in one. I will probably publish this kind of big chapter in the future. The word count is between 6000~8000. I will try my best to get closer to 8000+~
