Infiltrating the world of cultivation

Since receiving the hint from the nine-story pagoda, the dynasty has adopted a cautious approach to the use of technological items.

According to the Nine-Story Ancient Pagoda, this Qiling Star possesses consciousness, meaning that this planet is alive.

That giant hand that crushed the immortal golden man was the embodiment of the will of Qiling Star.

The fact that the nine-story ancient pagoda could hide itself right under the nose of that terrifying being is enough to demonstrate its extraordinary nature.

This desert is vast and boundless, a golden expanse as far as the eye can see.

When traveling in the desert, besides the food crisis, the biggest problem is finding your way around.

Even if one becomes a cultivator, the dynasty cannot guarantee that their path forward will be a straight line.

Looking at the shallow crater on the ground, created by Elder Zhou's large ship, Wang Chao seemed lost in thought.

From the shape of the shallow pit, Wang Chao determined the approximate location from which he had come.

I didn't notice when I came; it was like flying by in a plane, it just flew by. Now that I have to walk back, Wang Chao really understands the feeling.

call out!

Wang Chao used his gravity spell to fly into the air. Based on the principle of seeing further from a higher vantage point, Wang Chao used his gravity spell to its maximum extent.

But as far as the eye can see, everything is a golden yellow; if you were to walk out of there, you wouldn't know how long it would take.

The dynasty embarked on its journey in one direction.

As Wang Chao walked, he took out the jade slip of the Dining Clouds Secret Realm. After all, it was a nine-story ancient pagoda that had planned an opportunity for him. With that great god's vision, how bad could it be?

The jade slip records the life of Ancestor Canxia, ​​a powerful figure from ancient times. His specific cultivation level is not mentioned, but it is not difficult to judge from the text that Ancestor Canxia was an extremely powerful rogue cultivator!

As the dynasty had imagined, the Old Ancestor Canxia possessed a five-elemental spiritual root that appeared only once in ten thousand years, making him a prodigy of that era.

He participated in that war that affected the very life and death of Qiling Star; he was one of the many cultivators who eventually flew from that circular continent.

In the end, the Old Ancestor Canxia escaped with severe injuries. The fact that he was able to escape from the hands of that immortal golden man shows that the Old Ancestor Canxia was indeed very powerful.

The Canxia Ancestor has many lineages, and this Canxia Secret Realm is just one of them. Now, he can barely be considered a disciple in name only.

This jade slip contains a cultivation method called the "Five Elements Treasure Book," which records the cultivation methods from the first to the twelfth stage of Qi Refining.

Wait a minute! Isn't there only nine stages in the Qi Refining stage? Once you surpass the ninth stage of Qi Refining, you become a Foundation Establishment stage expert! So where did the extra three stages come from?

Could it be that the ancient cultivation system was different from the current one?

Wang Chao studied the "Five Elements Treasure Book" and found that it placed great emphasis on the shaping of one's foundation.

This is different from the "Qinghui One Qi Technique". The "Qinghui One Qi Technique" focuses more on sharpness. The Qinghui Sword Sect is famous for its swordsmanship, and its corresponding cultivation methods are mostly about showing off one's sharpness.

The Five Elements Manual is different; it emphasizes the balance of the five elements and the creation of a solid foundation.

Wang Chao glanced at it and immediately realized that the "Five Elements Manual" was more suitable for his situation. The Old Ancestor Canxia had five elemental spiritual roots, and he had no problem practicing this, so he should be able to as well.

The back of this "Five Elements Treasure Book" records 981 basic spells based on the Five Elements.

After seeing these Five Elements spells, Wang Chao was truly shocked. It must have taken immense wisdom to conceive such complex spells. Just by looking at the principles behind many of them, Wang Chao felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

After mastering the Five Elements basic spells, comes the Five Elements Formation. The Five Elements are used to form the formation, and only those with great wisdom can master it.

Finally, there is the Barrier-Breaking Technique, a divine ability said to be able to break through ten thousand formations.

Although these inheritances seem vast, the dynasty felt that they were probably all simplified versions, because if one were in the Qi Refining stage, these spells and formations would definitely be extremely powerful.

As far as the dynasty knows, there is a Foundation Establishment stage above the Qi Refining stage, and a Core Formation stage above the Foundation Establishment stage. The combat power of each stage is incomparable.

Clearly, this may simply be a test that the Old Ancestor Canxia is giving to his many successors.

After all, he couldn't possibly put all his eggs in one basket. What if that basket leaked? Wouldn't all his efforts be in vain, and his legacy would be broken?

Therefore, a powerful figure like the Old Ancestor of the Clouds must have many hidden tricks up his sleeve.

call!

Night fell, darkness descended, a cold wind howled, and dust filled the air.

Unlike the bright sunshine during the day, the desert at night was extremely cold, and even Wang Chao, with his Qi Refining Stage 4 physique, couldn't help but shiver.

bass!

Under the cover of night, a golden dome enveloped the dynasty.

Even a larger Vajra Formation couldn't be set up by the dynasty, but it could be done in a three-square-meter area.

The dynasty used the Vajra Formation to envelop itself, and then, for safety, it also set up a Vajra Formation on the ground.

However, it cannot be ruled out that there are some dangerous species in the desert, so it's best to be cautious. After all, caution is always the best policy.

At this moment, the dynasty seemed to have retreated into its tortoise shell, protecting itself completely.

The dynasty began to study the "Five Elements Treasure Book". This "Five Elements Treasure Book" has conflicts with the "Qinghui One Qi Technique". If one wants to practice the "Five Elements Treasure Book", one must disperse and reorganize the spiritual energy.

In other words, the dynasty needed to be rebuilt, and for a time, the dynasty found itself in a dilemma.

On one hand, there is the "Five Elements Manual," which is more suitable for him and has a remarkable effect on laying a solid foundation. On the other hand, there is the spiritual power he has cultivated for nearly a year. If he were to start cultivating again, would he still be able to reach the fourth stage of Qi Refining?

Previously, the reason why Wang Chao was able to reach the fourth stage of Qi Refining was because of his dual cultivation with Nangong Qingyu. Now, if he were to start cultivating again, what he would face is self-evident.

Without Nangong Qingyu's assistance, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to reach the fourth stage of Qi Refining.

After careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons, Wang Chao finally decided to start cultivating again. Relying on external forces was never a safe option. Although he was very reluctant, Wang Chao also understood the importance of a solid foundation.

A tall building starts from the ground up. No matter what you do, the foundation is the most important thing. This is a characteristic of the Chinese people.

We don't make decisions lightly, and when we do, we use them for five or ten years. We are still learning from the wisdom of our ancestors.

In contrast, people in foreign countries rarely buy books published five years ago because the knowledge and insights from five years ago are no longer sufficient to meet the needs of current social development.

These subtle details reveal the profound heritage of a nation.

Watching the spiritual power within his body gradually disappear, Wang Chao's heart was bleeding. This was something he had cultivated with great difficulty!

Wang Chao went from the fourth stage of Qi Refining to the first stage of Qi Refining.

If it weren't for the traces of residue still remaining in his body, Wang Chao would probably only be considered an ordinary person.

Wang Chao used all his spiritual energy to cleanse his physical body, resulting in a significant improvement in his physical strength. Ordinary innate martial artists would probably be no match for him.

As dawn broke, Wang Chao rose, intending to continue his journey.

Bang!

"Fuck me!"

A large, bluish-purple bump had swelled up on Wang Chao's forehead.

He forgot that he had set up a Vajra Formation outside, and now even the bottom was sealed off. How could he get out?

The wisps of spiritual energy he possessed were simply not enough to dispel the formation.

Wang Chao was a bit confused. What did it mean to be trapped in one's own web? What did it mean to draw a circle around oneself and imprison oneself? He had managed to trap himself.

rustle!

Wang Chao sensed the sand beneath him shifting. Was there a wild beast? Could it be a spirit beast? He had just dissipated his power, and now this had happened?

Could this also be part of the design of the Nine-Story Pagoda? Wang Chao regretted his actions some way. He had acted too impulsively last night. This wasn't a game where there was no chance to wipe and start over.

"From now on, I can't just do whatever comes to mind; I have to think about the consequences carefully," Wang Chao secretly admonished himself.

However, it's too late to say all this now. It's quite obvious that Wang Chao can sense that something has changed underground in the area where he is.

Earth's crust moving? Could it be an earthquake?

Wang Chao realized that something was wrong, because not only his area, but a large surrounding area was shaking.

Moreover, he didn't sense any spiritual energy fluctuations around him, which meant the probability of an earthquake occurring here was extremely high.

An earthquake in the desert—this must be the legendary sand quake.

Gulu gulu!

The Vajra Formation where the dynasty was located was actually pushed and rolled by the flowing sand.

What was originally at his feet had somehow moved to his head, forcing Wang Chao to do a somersault to avoid ending up headfirst and feetfirst.

Gulu gulu!

The Vajra Formation was spinning faster and faster, and Wang Chao didn't want to get dizzy, so he started running.

The rotating Vajra Array is like a three-dimensional treadmill, and the dynasty is running inside it.

This area can be viewed from the sky.

The golden sand sea, like surging waves, was actually rolling and crashing against the yellow sand.

A sphere gleaming with golden light, like a small boat adrift on a vast ocean.

Inside the sphere, a figure was running with its arms swinging, which looked very strange.

The golden sphere is not very obvious; from a distance, it looks like a person surfing in a sea of ​​sand—a frenzied, muscular man.

Without spiritual energy to replenish their energy reserves, the dynasty's stamina was starting to falter.

Gradually, his steps could no longer keep up with the speed of the flowing sand, so he simply stopped running and started circling around the Vajra Formation.

hum!

This feeling was even more thrilling than riding a roller coaster. Wang Chao felt like his intestines were about to get tied in a bow.

Boom!

The dynasty entered the very center of the vortex and was sucked directly into the sand.

The temperature inside was very high. Wang Chao felt as if he were in a sauna. Although his spiritual power had disappeared, his physique was comparable to that of a master of innate cultivation.

Even he felt the temperature was very high, which shows that it was indeed very hot here.

Wang Chao took out a spirit stone and began to circulate the Five Elements Treasure Book, the method for the first stage of Qi Refining.

The wisps of spiritual energy were cool yet gentle, making Wang Chao feel as if he were in a world of both ice and fire.
