My Optimized Immortal Life

After the Divine Sword Taoist finished speaking, Lei Yang's expression remained unchanged. He just looked at him and spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, please return. Your swordsmanship is indeed impressive, but it is impossible for you to defeat me. Unless you send Shangyuan or Tianyuan, this Misty Marsh will belong to my demon clan."

Hearing this, the Taoist Master of the Divine Sword remained silent. He casually put away the sword in his hand, and then appeared on the flying boat of Linxian Pavilion. A voice came from the flying boat.

"retreat."

As soon as these words fell, the dozen or so flying boats suspended in the air slowly turned around and quickly left.

On the Chuanyun Boat, Xu Lingxin looked at Chen Qing and asked.

"My husband, how should Linxian Pavilion deal with Lei Yang in Misty Lake?"

Chen Qing thought for a moment and spoke slowly.

"Even the Divine Sword Daojun couldn't take down the Thunder Yang Demon God this time. The latter's strength is indeed extraordinary. Linxian Pavilion should not send the Daojun to take action again."

"And judging from the attitude of Divine Sword Daojun just now, before the Demon God Temple was repelled, this Misty Marsh should have belonged to the Demon God Temple."

"With one demon god in charge, and the possibility of a second, this Misty Lake is not something that Linxian Pavilion can easily shake. Next, we have to see what happens to the Yin-Yang Sect in the East China Sea."

Xu Lingxin nodded.

"Now that the Demon God Temple has invaded, the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Black Sword Sect will certainly not sit idly by. However, unless the Demon God Temple and the monsters from the Eastern Demon Territory launch a full-scale invasion, these two sects will probably not take action easily. Next, the Linxian Pavilion should organize us, the fourth-tier sects, to build a defense line near the Misty Marsh to guard against Lei Yang."

Chen Qing smiled.

"The defense line will definitely be stationed by top fourth-tier sects like Dian Cang and Yu Xiao. Given the Luoying Sect's strength, such a good opportunity probably won't be ours. However, the alliance is very likely to discuss having each sect send a portion of its cultivators to build a defense line. This could allow the disciples and elders to gain more experience."

Xu Lingxin nodded and said nothing more.

She asked so many questions simply to see whether Chen Qing was ready to leave Luoying Sect. After all, there were many precedents of this kind. However, judging from Chen Qing's attitude, it seemed that he was ready to stay here.

Thinking about it carefully, she couldn't help but smile.

Now she and Chen Qing are both Nascent Soul cultivators. Even in a place like the Central Region, they are still considered top masters. Even if the Eastern Demon Region invades in full force, the two of them have the ability to protect themselves.

Besides...

She has been with Chen Qing for so long that she should have a very good understanding of Chen Qing's practice, but now she is finding it increasingly difficult to understand Chen Qing's practice.

Looking at Xu Lingxin who was no longer talking, Chen Qing smiled and roughly guessed what she was thinking about.

He hadn't used his full strength for a long time, so even killing the two snake monsters just now was not as difficult as it seemed.

Now he is becoming more and more adept at understanding the Dao Patterns of Creation. He has already grasped the key points and is gradually going deeper. His spiritual consciousness has also benefited greatly from this and is undergoing a transformation.

He had a premonition that when he improved his magical power to the late Nascent Soul stage, he would undergo another transformation.

……

In the compartment of the flying boat.

Di Jian sat on the mat with his eyes slightly closed, recalling the sword formation that the Divine Sword Taoist had just performed.

Although he was at the Jindan stage, he had already formed a sword heart through practicing under Chen Qing, which meant that he had initially glimpsed the threshold of the sword path.

Today, after seeing the Taoist Master Shenjian, who had made great achievements in sword practice, he benefited a lot and gained many indescribable insights in his heart.

Now, he is sorting out these insights.

Just now, when the Taoist Master used the sword formation, neither his energy nor his magic power leaked out at all. It was the pinnacle of magic, flawless and without any omissions. This realm is beyond my current level of understanding.

What Di Jian was comprehending now was not how the Divine Sword Taoist performed the sword formation, but the sword energy that was emitted after the sword formation collided with the Leiyang Demon God.

In his eyes, those sword energies were exactly the same as his sword, but when he thought about it carefully, they were different in every way. The confusion among them was so great that he could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought.

After several hours, Di Jian slowly exhaled, opened his eyes, and gave up his contemplation.

My current realm is still too low, at the Jindan level. It is indeed wishful thinking for me to want to comprehend the sword intent of the Huashen level. Although I have some insights now, it is difficult to integrate them. I still have to continue practicing and accumulating foundation before I can turn these insights into my own swordsmanship.

Di Jian reflected secretly, then continued to close his eyes and turned to improve his magic power.

And in another compartment.

Chen Changsheng sat upright on the cushion, with the phantoms of the three souls hanging behind him. A bronze bell the size of a palm hung in front of him, with the phantoms of countless monsters appearing on it.

These are the demon beast souls killed by Chen Changsheng in the beast tide. Due to the large number, even he cannot bear them with his current cultivation level, and can only collect them with the Soul Refining Bell.

And now, he is refining these demon souls.

The Three Souls Evolving Divine Art was a technique he created in his previous life. It specialized in cultivating the soul, and the three souls of heaven, earth, and man had infinite magical uses. When he created this technique, he had lofty intentions and consulted many methods of the Nascent Soul level. But unfortunately, due to physical reasons, he did not cultivate this technique to perfection in his previous life, otherwise he would not have fallen under the thunder tribulation.

But now it is different. His current body has been specially adjusted and is most suitable for practicing this technique. Coupled with his vision and Jindan-level soul, he can cultivate three souls at the foundation-building stage.

With the hand gestures, the three souls behind Chen Changsheng raised their hands together, and the extremely pure soul power surged in them and was injected into the soul refining bell. With the help of the power of the magic weapon, the demon soul stored in it was refined and transformed into the most pure soul origin.

Afterwards, Chen Changsheng opened his mouth and sucked in the soul essence.

He closed his eyes tightly, and the spell in his hand changed again. The three souls behind him also made spells. The three soul origins merged into the three souls behind him, making the shapes of the three souls clearer, but the facial features were still difficult to recognize.

Chen Changsheng continued to refine and absorbed another twenty-nine demon souls. He felt his sea of ​​consciousness slightly swelling and knew that he had reached the limit of the demon souls he could refine at present.

He slowly finished his practice, stored the Soul Refining Bell into his sea of ​​consciousness, and then slowly stood up.

Feel the changes in yourself.

After refining the essence of thirty demon souls, my three souls of heaven, earth and man have made great progress, and I am only a little away from a breakthrough. As a result, my magic power has become a burden.

Well, there are still hundreds of demon souls in the Soul Refining Bell, which are enough for the next practice. There is no need to seek them anymore. The next practice will focus on the cultivation of magic power. If it is improved to the middle stage of foundation building, with the help of magic power nourishment, my three souls will be able to break through in one fell swoop and enter the next realm.

Chen Changsheng was thinking about his next cultivation plan. He had gained a lot in this beast tide, and solved the next soul cultivation in one fell swoop. Now he just needed to accumulate silently, and that would be enough.
