I can gather experience beads

City Guard Headquarters.

In Cao Rui's courtyard.

Cao Rui reached out and took the storage bag from Ye Li.

"Thank the dean for me." Cao Rui accepted the storage bag without hesitation.

It is better not to reject the kindness of a Mahayana monk, but to accept it silently.

Ye Li's beautiful eyes flickered: "Cao Rui, after a few days of rest, we will be ready to set off for Tianwai Tian. Do you want us to set off together?"

Ye Li invited Cao Rui again.

On the side of the Holy Land Academy, among the nine disciples who obtained the quota for combat cultivation, Ye Li reached a team-up agreement with four of them.

We will go to Tianwaitian together in a few days.

This time, Ye Li extended an invitation to Cao Rui and also obtained the consent of the other four members of the team.

Ye Li briefly introduced the situation in the team. Cheng Li, Ye Li's archenemy, finally chose to team up with three other people.

The nine disciples who were awarded the title of combat cultivator were divided into two groups.

Cao Rui listened to Ye Li quietly, closed his eyes slightly, and fell into deep thought.

Thinking back to everything he had experienced at the previous Battle Cultivation Festival, he couldn't help but feel a surge of confidence in his heart.

This battle event was Cao Rui’s first battle after he was promoted to the Refining Void stage and his magical powers were changed.

Cao Rui deeply realized that with his current powerful strength and unique fusion magical powers, his current combat effectiveness has far surpassed other cultivators of the same level.

This huge advantage made him realize that if he went to Tianwai Tian alone, it would be much less troublesome than forming a team.

What's more, the generous rewards he won in this battle and cultivation event, as well as the precious heavenly resources that have not yet been exhausted, can allow him to continue to improve his cultivation level.

Cao Rui secretly estimated that as long as he made full use of these resources, it would be enough to support him to successfully break through the bottleneck of the late stage of refining emptiness.

The correct solution is to consume all these resources and then go to Tianwai Tian.

Although it is a good idea to form a team, it is not suitable for Cao Rui.

Thinking of this, Cao Rui slowly opened his eyes, looked at Ye Li, shook his head gently and said: "I'm sorry, Ye Li. I have no plans to go to Tianwai Tian for the time being. I am only in the middle stage of Refining Void now, so I plan to find a quiet place to practice hard for a while, and after successfully advancing to the late stage of Refining Void, I will consider whether to go to Tianwai Tian."

After saying this, Cao Rui clasped his fists and bowed to Ye Li to express his apology.

To advance from the peak of Refining Void to the Fusion Stage, a massive amount of Heavenly Secrets is required.

This is a secret that may not be accumulated even after hundreds or thousands of years.

This is also the main reason why Ye Li and others who are at the peak of the Void Refinement Stage want to go to the Heaven Beyond Heaven.

This step can only be taken by yourself.

Hearing Cao Rui's words, Ye Li was slightly disappointed. "Okay, I wish you can be promoted to the peak of Refining Void soon. I hope we can meet in Tianwaitian."

After Ye Li finished speaking, he said goodbye and left.

Cao Rui watched Ye Li slowly leave.

Afterwards, Cao Rui probed his consciousness into the storage bag.

Inside the storage bag, there were indeed a large number of secrets of various levels.

In addition, there is also a top-grade spiritual treasure!

This top-grade spiritual treasure is a dark black cloak, and its material cannot be seen.

After Cao Rui refined it, he learned its name - the ethereal cloak.

The function of this top-grade spiritual treasure is to increase the speed of flying in the air.

Under optimal conditions, it can increase the flying speed by about 50%.

With this top-grade spiritual treasure, his flying speed is enough to surpass anyone in the Void Refinement Stage.

In this way, Cao Rui now had three top-grade spiritual treasures: the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword, the Eight-Treasure Linglong Umbrella, and the Ethereal Cloak.

Cao Rui was preparing to continue his retreat and cultivation.

This guy Cheng Li also came to the door.

It was under the instruction of his master Dongfang Yu, and of course influenced by his own admiration for Cao Rui, that he came to invite Cao Rui to join a team to go to Tianwai Tian to train together.

After learning that Cao Rui planned to go into seclusion to improve his cultivation.

Cheng Li had no choice but to leave.

As Ye Li and Cheng Li left the Frost Sky Realm one after another and headed for the Heaven Beyond Heaven.

The most dazzling period of time for this group of Nascent Soul Stage disciples in the Beihai Holy Land has also come to an end.

From now on in Tianwai Tian, ​​whether they can be promoted to the fusion stage depends on their own fate.

There was no movement from Master Zuo Qiu.

So, Cao Rui chose to start a journey of seclusion and cultivation.

Time passed like a white horse, day after day, night after night.

During this retreat, because Cao Rui had abundant Tianji experience beads, the experience points in his experience beads increased at an astonishing speed.

Just like that, fifteen years passed in the blink of an eye.

Cao Rui's experience beads, which were in the middle stage of the Void Refining Stage, had actually reached the maximum value!

That day, Cao Rui clicked on the experience bead without hesitation.

In an instant, the experience points were like a surging purple torrent, rushing madly into his Nascent Soul, his spirit, and every part of his body. The whole process was extremely smooth, without any hindrance.

Finally, driven by this powerful energy, Cao Rui successfully broke through the bottleneck and was promoted from the middle stage of Refining Void to the late stage of Refining Void.

As his realm improved, his magic power increased greatly, almost doubling!

Moreover, the newly added mana becomes more condensed and pure.

This concentration of magical power not only greatly increases Cao Rui's power when using spells such as [Divine Capture] and [Divine Descent], but also greatly extends the duration of these spells.

At the same time, Cao Rui's spiritual awareness also increased significantly, by more than half.

In this way, the power of the spiritual eye's ability to break delusion in the Netherworld Spirit Eye has been greatly enhanced.

If he were to face Ning Xin of Hanyue Palace again at this moment, Cao Rui would only need one move of his spiritual eyes to break her illusion and deal her a heavier blow.

It is not ruled out that Ning Xin might even suffer a serious blow to his soul and die on the spot!

There was still a considerable amount of divine secrets left in Cao Rui, so he chose to practice in seclusion again without hesitation.

Time flies, and five years have passed quietly.

Finally, Cao Rui successfully exhausted all the secrets.

Looking at the experience bead of the Chaos Spiritual Energy at this time, the experience value contained in it has risen to 10% of the late stage of refining emptiness!

According to the current speed of cultivation, if he could have sufficient support from the Heavenly Secret, it would only take Cao Rui fifty years to break through to the peak of the Refining Void realm.

At this moment, all the secrets had been exhausted, and Cao Rui realized that he could no longer work in isolation.

After careful consideration, he resolutely decided to break out.

For him now, it is time to set off to the outer world to plunder the secrets of heaven.

During this period, Cao Rui always kept a close eye on Tianjizi's every move.

From time to time, he kept in touch with Xuanxu, who was far away in Bingniao City in the south of Tianjing, through the communicator in his hand, asking for the latest news about Tianjizi.

However, there is still no news from Tianjizi and he has not returned to Bingniao City yet.

Time passed day by day, and the deadline for Xuanxu to go to the Tianwai Heaven was approaching. If he did not set off soon, once the next daily thunder tribulation of the Lianxu period came, Xuanxu would probably not be able to withstand it with his current cultivation level, and his life might even be in danger.

For cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, breaking through to the Fusion stage as soon as possible is their only goal of cultivation.

As a last resort, Xuanxu explained his difficulties to Cao Rui.

Naturally, Cao Rui would not make things difficult for Xuanxu.

But fortunately, Xuanxu is still a man who keeps his promises.

Even though he had to leave the Frost Sky Realm and go to the Heaven Beyond Heaven, before leaving, he still carefully arranged reliable manpower to let these people continue to keep an eye on Tianjizi's whereabouts on behalf of Cao Rui.

In other words, as long as Tianjizi returns to Bingniao City one day, he will be the first to know that Cao Rui, who is also from Qingqiong Realm, is looking for him.

You know, searching for a person's whereabouts in the vast spiritual world is as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack.

So at this moment, Cao Rui had no choice but to wait patiently for news.

......

This day.

Cao Rui walked out of the training room and went straight to the training ground of his master Zuo Qiu.

Zuo Qiu is in seclusion, and there is a magic circle guarding the training room.

Cao Rui left a sound transmission note into the magic circle and then left.

Not long after.

Cao Rui rushed to Chu Xiyue's training academy.

Chu Xiyue is refining the innate purple energy to increase the strength of her own power of rules.

However, refining the innate purple energy does not require immersive seclusion.

Therefore, Chu Xiyue quickly discovered Cao Rui's arrival, finished refining, and appeared in front of Cao Rui.

"Young Master, are you ready to go to the outer world?"

Chu Xiyue saw through Cao Rui's plan at a glance.

Cao Rui nodded and said, "I came here to say goodbye to you. I left a message for my master, but when he comes out of retreat, please let me know, Sister Xiyue."

In fact, Zuo Qiu’s attitude is already very clear.

He can serve as Zuo Qiu's support, but the journey to the Heaven Beyond Heaven is something Cao Rui must go through.

Only cultivators who can bring back resources from the outer world can survive and practice in the spiritual world.

Chu Xiyue nodded in response: "The outer world is different from the heavenly realm. The space is vast, the forces and personnel are complex, and there are void beasts..."

Chu Xiyue talked to Cao Rui for several hours.

He told Cao Rui everything he knew.

Finally, he told Cao Rui the way to go to Tianwai Tian.

The way to get to Tianwai Tian is simple.

That is to fly upwards all the time.

"Thank you, Sister Xiyue, for taking care of me over the past few decades."

"Then I will go to Tianwaitian." Cao Rui said sincerely.

Chu Xiyue smiled for the first time: "Go, young master. I hope that when we meet again, you will have successfully advanced to the fusion stage like me and mastered the power of rules."

Cao Rui nodded slightly, and without saying anything, he flew up from the training ground.

Under Chu Xiyue's concerned gaze, Cao Rui was seen wearing the ethereal cloak that seemed to blend into the void, and his figure was running away like lightning. His speed was so fast that it was like a meteor across the sky. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared in the air and turned into a small black dot that was almost impossible to capture with the naked eye.

As time went by, the little black dot became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared completely from sight...

However, at this time Cao Rui still did not stop his flight into the sky.

The higher he flew, the clearer the entire picture of the Frost Sky Realm below appeared before Cao Rui's eyes.

Above this vast ice field, the cold wind is howling, snowflakes are flying, and the white scene looks beautiful from the high altitude perspective.

But at the same time, the world above the ice field is not so peaceful.

Here, the air is filled with creepy and terrifying gale.

These strong winds were like roaring beasts, raging with bared fangs and claws, trying to tear into pieces any living creature that dared to approach them.

Fortunately, Cao Rui possessed an extremely strong body, and he continuously circulated the powerful magic power in his body to resist the invasion of the strong wind, which enabled him to remain safe and sound in such a harsh environment.

However, even so, if it were other cultivators with lower cultivation, even if they tried their best to use their magic power to resist the strong wind, they would probably not be able to do so due to the huge consumption.

If one is not a cultivator who has reached the peak of the Refining Void realm, it would be a pipe dream to want to travel to this place beyond the sky by relying on one's own strength.

In this way, Cao Rui flew up non-stop for dozens of days.

Finally, at a certain moment, he felt as if he had touched an unusually soft film.

There is no doubt that this is where the domain membrane of the Frost Sky Realm is located!

You must know that the domain membrane is invisible to the naked eye and cannot be locked by spiritual consciousness. Only by touching it with your own hands can you sense its existence.

It can effectively protect the overall energy within the Frost Sky Realm from being easily lost.

Cao Rui took a deep breath and began to concentrate all his magic power around him. He carefully controlled his magic power to impact the domain membrane.

After a lot of crowding, Cao Rui finally succeeded in penetrating the domain membrane and entered it.

The pressure inside the domain membrane was very high, and Cao Rui's speed of travel became extremely slow.

After traveling through the domain membrane with some difficulty for half a day, Cao Rui suddenly felt that his eyes suddenly darkened.

When he looked carefully, he found that what came into view was an endless dark starry sky.

Countless stars twinkling with faint light are dotted in this vast universe, like dazzling gems inlaid on the black sky.

Most of the feeling of physical restraint disappeared, and Cao Rui knew that he had reached the Heaven Beyond Heaven.

Looking back at this moment, the Frost Sky Realm was like a small square island, standing quietly in the domain membrane.

Viewed from outside the domain membrane, the Frost Sky Realm looked like the world in a crystal ball, shrunk countless times.

And the huge domain membrane is the crystal ball.
