From dual spiritual roots to a sword master with all attributes

In the void, Emperor Teng silently watched the person being tied up gradually, but did not take any other action.

It’s not that he is unwilling to take action, but that he can’t take action anymore.

From the outside world's perspective, Emperor Teng has indeed broken through to the Spiritual Transformation stage and entered the next realm.

But only Emperor Teng himself knew that his breakthrough was actually incomplete.

It should be noted that above the Spirit Transformation Stage, the sixth realm of cultivators is called the Void Refining Stage.

To break through to this realm, one must first reach a certain quality of spiritual energy, and a sixth-order spiritual vein is essential.

Although the Taichang Realm does not have a sixth-order spiritual vein, when the demon world was at war tens of thousands of years ago, many powerful beings incarnated into the lower world to help in the battle, and among them was a great master of alchemy.

He is someone who can refine sixth-grade elixirs, so fifth-grade elixirs are naturally easy for him.

It was also because he had a good harvest in the Taichang Realm that he left behind an opportunity, which was a furnace of already refined fifth-grade top-level elixir.

However, the elixir has not been produced yet, but has been nurtured in the furnace.

And this opportunity finally fell into the hands of Emperor Teng.

He was quite far-sighted, realizing that after tens of thousands of years of nurturing, the elixir was on the verge of being promoted to the sixth level. It had only been unable to do so due to the suppression of the Taichang Realm.

Afterwards, Emperor Teng brought it out of the Taichang Realm, and with the help of the qualitatively transformed spiritual energy in this sixth-level elixir, he broke through the bottleneck.

However, after he advanced to the Lianxu stage, the power of the elixir was completely exhausted and was not enough to bring about a complete qualitative change in his magic power.

The amount of magical power he could use to practice the void was also pitifully small.

Of course, the advanced level of Lianxu requires more than just spiritual energy, it is also related to the great way of heaven and earth.

To be more precise, it is related to the path of heaven and earth that Fang Xiao has touched.

Of course, with Fang Xiao's current level, he can only borrow some of his strength.

In order to break through the realm of Lianxu, one must use one's own Dharma to accommodate the Dao of Heaven and Earth that is consistent with one's attributes.

However, the laws of heaven and earth in a certain realm cannot be taken away even by cultivators from the spiritual world, let alone the lower realm like the Taichang Realm.

However, there are countless talented people in the world, and there is always someone who can find a solution to the problem, so there is another way.

That is to open up the cave.

When a cultivator reaches the Spirit Transformation Stage, he can open up a cave heaven, and the Dao orbits running in the cave heaven are all copied from the great universe. In other words, the Dao orbits of the cave heaven are projections of the Dao orbits of the great universe.

Moreover, the cave heaven that is opened up is more in line with the attributes of the cultivator himself, and its internal trajectory is naturally close to this attribute.

The cultivator can then advance to the stage of practicing emptiness by refining the Dao within the cave and integrating it into his own Dharma image.

The name Lianxu also comes from this. It means both refining the cave heaven and refining the illusory path.

As for the difficulty and conditions of refining the Dao track, we will not discuss it for now, and only talk about what happens after the refining is successful.

Without the support of the track, this cave will fall apart on its own.

If a cultivator wants to continue to move forward on the path of practicing emptiness, he must constantly open up caves, refine the Tao, destroy caves, and repeat this process.

To gradually condense the truth by projecting the illusory path is to cultivate the truth by using the false.

But in the final analysis, the cave heaven is still a part of the great universe, and such behavior is equivalent to constantly reducing the size of the universe.

The inevitable result was that the heaven and earth would backfire and bring down heavenly punishment, or thunder tribulation.

If a cultivator wants to break through to a higher level, he must find ways to repay the heaven and earth after passing through the thunder tribulation.

Otherwise, the Lianxu period will be the end of the path.

As for repaying the heaven and earth, the easiest way is to plunder from outside.

By plundering other worlds, you can give back to your own world.

This is also the reason why many upper realms do not reject and are even keen on realm wars, because it is related to the path above Lianxu.

Let’s go back to Emperor Teng. Even though he advanced to the Lianxu realm by refining the Dongtian Dao track within the Taichang realm, in terms of affiliation, he still has to repay the spiritual world.

Even if the Taichang Realm was taken away by the Demon Realm, the debt came first and the ownership change came later, which would not lead to the transfer of creditor's rights.

Therefore, he did not care about the final fate of the Taichang Realm.

The only thing that Emperor Teng cared about was how he, a cultivator in the Lianxu period who was incomplete due to lack of spiritual energy, could go to the spiritual world.

The solution he came up with was very simple. If there was no sixth-level spiritual vein, then he would create one.

As long as there are enough fifth-level top-level spiritual veins, with his cultivation level in the Void Refinement Stage, it is not difficult at all to gather them and upgrade them to the sixth level.

And if the divine boat that patrols the sky and searches the earth can be successfully refined and leave the Taichang Realm, then great things will be settled.

By then, with him in charge of Shenzhou, he can naturally lead the royal court's cultivators to the spiritual world easily.

Emperor Teng himself can also become a complete Lianxu monk by relying on the sixth-level spiritual veins.

Also because of the spiritual energy, Emperor Teng stayed in seclusion in the void for a long time, refining spiritual energy bit by bit and accumulating magic power.

This is why Fang Xiao plotted against King Qian and others, and why he did not take any action even when King Qian was lost in the depths of the void.

He had been preparing for this moment for so long, so how could he use that little bit of magic power on other people and things?

But now his methods were bound by the chains of rules, and he could not make any progress. He even began to show signs of regression, and seemed to be completely passive.

But Emperor Teng still stood calmly in the void, as if he had already anticipated this situation.

At this moment Fang Xiao was still standing there. Suddenly, the Zhongyuan Dao under his feet shook violently, and then an extremely strong feeling of lifting came out.

Fang Xiao woke up instantly and seemed to understand the current situation.

Even though Emperor Teng is a Lianxu being, the chances of him capturing Zhongyuan Dao and taking it away from the Taichang Realm would not be very high due to the obstruction of countless chains of rules.

But if there is another person in the Lianxu stage to cooperate, although it is not a 100% certainty, there is a great chance of success.

Although this other Lianxu does not exist, there is a way to replace him.

That is the Eight Directions Spiritual Sky Patrolling Array and the Twenty-Four Flying Stars Earth-Searching Array.

Now, the thirty-two gods have returned to their respective positions, and each center of the formation has its master.

Although it was only supported by a fifth-order spiritual vein, with the coordination of the double sixth-order formation, it still burst out with the power of the sixth order.

At this moment, not only is this sixth-order power lifting up the entire Zhongyuan Dao, but the Taichang Realm is also repelling this power outwards.

This is equivalent to the Taichang Realm itself rejecting the Zhongyuan Dao, and Emperor Teng is borrowing this power.

The giant palm that covered the sky clearly did not descend at all, and was even retreating, but from Fang Xiao's perspective, its distance to Zhongyuan Dao was getting closer and closer.

Fang Xiao also wanted to leave at this moment, but he had no large formation to protect him. Even if he could move, he could not escape quickly under the huge pressure of Lianxu.

“I don’t know whether Zhongyuan Dao can be taken out of Taichang Realm by this giant palm.

But if I can't leave before it falls, I'm afraid I'll be turned into pulp first."

Fang Xiao had no choice but to take out the talisman.
