Practice begins with immortality

After returning to his residence, Wang Bai did not rest, but immediately began to count the harvest.

"One million three hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones, two thousand medium-grade spirit stones. Add to that these elixirs and spiritual materials, and it's enough for me to practice for a long time."

After counting his harvest, Wang Bai stored all these valuable resources into the storage space of the jade pendant. However, just as he picked up the mysterious storage ring, the jade pendant suddenly produced a slight fluctuation.

"It looks like it wants to absorb this storage ring. But we'll have to wait a moment. We have more important things to do right now." Wang Bai then suppressed the slight fluctuation. After forcibly suppressing the jade pendant's unusual movements, Wang Bai focused his energy, infusing it with mana, opening the spatial channel and returning to the desolate world.

One day later, in the foggy sea, above a reef.

"Let's decide here!" After saying that, Wang Bai landed on the reef and sat down to meditate. Then, Wang Bai thought and took out the Soul-Splitting Knife from the storage space and summoned the Blood Soul Killing Sword.

When Wang Bai simultaneously drew out the sword and the knife, a powerful suction force suddenly emerged from the two weapons, each attempting to devour the other. However, the Blood Soul Killing Sword clearly had the upper hand. Although the Soul-Splitting Knife was of a higher rank than the Blood Soul Killing Sword, being a magical weapon, they were both forged using the same secret technique.

The amount of essence Wang Bai used to forge the Blood Soul Killing Sword was beyond imagination. Even the creator of this secret technique hadn't anticipated someone using such a vast amount of essence to forge a life-defining weapon. Furthermore, under the influence of the ball of light, Wang Bai's essence seemed to undergo some transformation, much like the crimson-gold droplet of blood he had condensed using the Blood Sacrifice Soul-Raising Technique. It could be said that the Blood Soul Killing Sword far surpassed even the Life-Defeating Soul-Snatching Life-Defining Art.

As the Soul-Splitting Blade gradually turned into a blood-red light spot and gradually merged into the Blood Soul Killing Sword, the Blood Soul Killing Sword fell directly to the ground as if it had eaten its fill. At this time, a layer of mysterious black light enveloped the sword.

"It looks like it's upgrading. After this transformation, I'm afraid it will directly become a magic weapon." After picking up the killing sword, Wang Bai took a look at it, and then put it into his dantian.

Afterwards, Wang Bai took out several jade boxes, each containing a drop of essence and blood half the size of a person.

Afterwards, Wang Bai opened his mouth and swallowed the entire drop of essence and blood, then began to practice his skills to refine it.

This drop of blood looked extremely scarlet, but when it entered Wang Bai's mouth, he did not feel any bloody or strong taste. Instead, a fresh and elegant fragrance came to his nose, as if he was in a tranquil sea of ​​flowers.

As the technique was activated, this drop of blood essence rapidly spread throughout his body, merging into every cell and blood within him. Wang Bai could clearly feel each of his cells begin to divide and then recombine to form a stronger and more advanced microscopic structure. This process was like a storm in the microscopic world, both intense and mysterious.

During this process, that drop of blood essence became a resource that nourished his cells, its power propelling Wang Bai's body towards a higher level of life. Every time a cell divided and recombined, Wang Bai felt an unprecedented surge of power. This feeling of life-transcending transcended all the mundane joys of the world.

Half an hour later, a powerful, ancient aura suddenly emerged from Wang Bai, like an ancient beast emerging from the ground and soaring into the sky. This aura carried an ancient and profound power, as if imbued with the sedimentation of countless ages. Simultaneously, all sentient beings within a 500-mile radius, centered around Wang Bai, sensed this powerful presence. Their intellect struggled to comprehend its meaning, but instinctively, they understood that this place was unsuitable for long, and they fled the area.

The moment this aura appeared, it signaled that Wang Bai had successfully entered the Nascent Soul stage of physical refinement. His body shone with a unique luster, as if cast from colored glass, evoking a sacred aura. His microstructure grew stronger and more robust, capable of carrying even greater power.

At the moment of his breakthrough, his consciousness once again traveled through time and space and arrived at a mysterious place. This place was similar to the one he had experienced when he broke through the Body Refining Golden Core, but it was also different.

Unlike the Cyclops he saw last time, this time Wang Bai saw only one eye, or rather, a dot.
