Sea Cultivation: Giant Ships and Heavy Artillery Knock on the Door to All Races

Chapter 138: Sealing the Beast King, Ninth Level Peak

"News has arrived, and this time the words are very intense. It seems that the current situation is quite urgent. Is the Flame Domain Beast King really about to break through to the late third stage?"

"It shouldn't be like that. He's already lucky enough to be able to maintain his rank within the seal. Where does he get the strength to advance?"

The Lin family's history is not even as old as the Beast King's. In addition, the Lin family has not gained any actual benefits from the Blazing Cave, so they choose to continue to respond passively and pretend not to see it.

Block me?
At most, the Lin family will just have to change their winter menu. This will not pose a threat to the Lin family unless the other party offers a high price to invite them.

at the same time,

Several Jindan forces in the western and southwestern regions near the blazing melting caves received messages from the Blazing Immortal City.

Among them, the forces that rely more on the Blazing Molten Cave are responding actively, either by providing money or manpower to reinforce the seal of the Beast King, so that this cash cow can continue to work well.

However, surprisingly, the Yunshang Alliance, which has the largest number of Jindan cultivators and relies more on the special resources of the hot cave, and should have been active, seems to have little interest.

They only paid the minimum share but did not send anyone to help reinforce the seal, which is puzzling.

"Everyone is here! Everyone, please follow the next assignment and reseal the Flame Territory Beast King. Absorb his currently overflowing demonic energy! Ensure he cannot advance to the late third stage!"

"What does the Yunshang Alliance mean? Why didn't they send anyone?"

"I don't know what happened, but the sealing materials have been delivered."

"Ignore them. I just hope this seal can last a few more years. Otherwise, who can withstand such consumption?"

The Flame Domain Beast King is a giant beast, a true behemoth, whose body is sealed in a giant active volcano called the Blazing Molten Cave.

Every time a seal is maintained, a lot of manpower and material resources are consumed. The longer the seal lasts, the lower the amortized cost will be. If the seal time is too short, it may even result in a loss.

"How long has it been since the last seal? Less than a hundred years, right? Could there be some opportunity deep within the earth's core? Otherwise, how could he have worn off the seal so quickly and even reached the brink of advancement?"

"What kind of opportunity could there be? Down below is a world of fire and magma. I suspect your seal wasn't done properly last time. Just make it firm this time and it'll be fine."

The Storm Ocean cultivation world is dominated by the ocean, so naturally water-attributed spiritual creatures are the most common. Water gives birth to wood, so wood-attributed spiritual creatures are the second most common. There are also many wood-attributed spiritual creatures in the busy ocean.

But the three attributes of fire, earth and gold are relatively rare.

The five elements are relatively balanced over a large range, so if there is nothing above, there will be something below. Deep in the center of the Storm Ocean, there are rich spiritual minerals with the three attributes of fire, earth, and gold.

The existence of the Flame Domain Beast King is a bridge of communication between the upper and lower realms.

The Beast King was sealed under a blazing cave. He had to actively absorb the fire power from deep within the earth to survive, but he had to let the sealing formation extract these powers.

A group of Jindan forces, mainly based in Chiyan Xiancheng, rely on this source to obtain the three relatively scarce resources of fire, earth and gold.

"Over! I'll do it myself this time, there's absolutely no problem. This seal will last at least three hundred years."

"Fellow Daoists, please cross-check again. It's not that I don't trust you, but everyone has spent a lot of money, and we need to eliminate any omissions."

"That makes sense! Fellow Taoists, please cross-check!"

The matter is of great importance, and the Jindan cultivators are extremely cautious.

In fact, the output is secondary. The most frightening thing is that the Beast King of the Flame Realm will break the seal and come out.

This beast king is somewhat special. He is not an ordinary flesh and blood creature, but a half-fire elemental creature, which is what everyone often calls a half-fire spirit creature.

The half-elven race has some of the advantages of the elves. They have extremely high cultivation talents, extremely long lifespans, and super strong combat capabilities among the same level, but they are difficult to tame as slaves.

Therefore, once he escapes, the nearby Jindan forces will be his main targets for revenge.

Considering its strength of being at the peak of the middle stage of the third stage and being able to break through to the late stage of the third stage at any time, ordinary Jindan forces are really not enough to look at. Therefore, the closer the forces are to the hot melting cave, the more active they are, and they even selectively forget all the previous unpleasantness with the Chiyan Immortal City.

Complete the seal, renegotiate a new profit quota, and plan to work together to expel the forces that did not contribute either manpower or money to today's incident, and intend to impose some blockades and sanctions on them.

…Autumn goes and winter comes, and another year has passed.

Lin Qianfan, who is about to turn 28, has finally reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining. Now he can no longer advance and has stepped on the threshold of building a foundation at any time.

"It took nearly three years, and the merit was fulfilled."

He entered the ninth level of Qi Refining in the spring when he had just turned twenty-five. It took him a full three years to accumulate to the ninth level.

These three years seem like a long time, but Lin Qianfan did not waste any time.

First of all, the foundation of Qi training has been accumulated sufficiently. Lin Qianfan has filled every capillary meridian in his body with pure spiritual energy, and tempered every strand to the extreme, with the goal of condensing thirty-six drops of liquid.

Perhaps only the sages of the human race who created the "Gengjin Sword Art" could achieve this. After all, there are some differences between the creator of the martial arts and the descendants.

Secondly, Lin Qianfan's spiritual practice has also reached the pinnacle of the Qi Refining Realm. He had even made no progress half a year ago. You must know that this is a third-level spiritual practice method, and its first-level part is enough to cover all the needs of the soul in the Qi Refining Realm.

The second is Lin Qianfan’s body training. That’s right, Lin Qianfan took the time to learn body training.

He had originally planned to wait until he had established his foundation before starting to practice body training, but during the last year or so he had been in the Fengling Secret Realm, he had too much free time every day. He was so bored!
So he simply used the chance to choose a high-level inheritance as a reward from last time to buy a book in the family secret library to practice body-building exercises that can strengthen the body, prolong life, and even help to break through the barriers.

Body training can significantly improve various attributes of the physical body, such as extreme endurance, qi and blood stamina, double resistance, vitality recovery, etc. High attributes mean high survival, and it is easier to survive in extreme situations.

At the same time, body training can also supplement some combat power, but as the realm becomes higher, magic cultivation will become more and more popular. Everyone will often fight at the limit of the range of divine consciousness detection, and there are very few high-level cultivators who can engage in close combat.

Unless a physical cultivator approaches them in advance on purpose, the physical cultivator will be at a great disadvantage. This is one of the reasons why the physical cultivator path is gradually declining.

Therefore, Lin Qianfan chose this martial arts method mainly for its auxiliary ability rather than to improve his own combat effectiveness. The difficulty of practicing it is relatively low and will not take up too much of his mind and resources.

As for the realm, he has now entered the late first stage.

It is not an exaggeration to say that one can break into the late stage of the first level in just one year.

Because Lin Qianfan already had a very deep foundation of Qi and blood, the body refining technique only sorted out the originally abundant but chaotic Qi and blood power, rather than relying solely on new training.

In addition, with Lin Qianfan's current status, he has all kinds of first-level body refining resources, which is a completely saturated supply, so Lin Qianfan's body refining level is growing to the limit every day.

Although there is still some room for improvement in physical training, Lin Qianfan does not intend to wait any longer. He has already built his foundation with "Qi" and can use his current physical foundation to break through the physical barrier.

Is there any foundation-building method in the world that can integrate the three levels of essence, energy and spirit at the same time?

Yes! It existed in ancient times!

Even after building the foundation using this method, one's lifespan will be much longer, and one will be on the path of returning to the ancestral spirit.

But the Lin family doesn't have any related inheritance! There's no such thing as it outside either!

Moreover, since this thing can be lost, it means that it must have great flaws or limitations, and it is not universal, so Lin Qianfan does not dwell on this issue.

In addition to the three core dimensions of spirit, energy and soul, Lin Qianfan's other abilities have also been honed to their current limits.

The three instrument talisman arrays disassembled by the shipwright's skills have all reached the limit of the first level. The connection between the first and second levels has also been fully understood, and even some of the puppet parts that may be used in the future have been learned.

In addition, there are some combat abilities including but not limited to all gold attribute spells, practical spells of other attributes, archery, body skills, advanced breath control, spirit eye skills, etc.

One of the purposes of the family arranging four people to manage the secret realm may be to hope that the four can stay away from the disturbances of the outside world and completely calm down to polish themselves.

"It's time to leave the secret realm."

Lin Qianfan did not intend to build a foundation in the secret space, and even had a premonition that building a foundation here would do harm.

After all, the sky here is too low and not suitable for flying.

The sky is high and birds can fly freely. If the sky is not high, they cannot spread their wings!
