Do not die

Just when Meng Zhou had just broken through the alchemy and built the three-pole cycle of the alchemy level, he had already enjoyed an obvious benefit.

After the Third Level Spring Water Sutra, Meng Zhou successfully comprehended the true skill of the Black Turtle Carrying the Monument and perfectly integrated it into the practice system of the Three Extremes Cycle. There was a significant improvement in the progress of his cultivation.

If the three-pole cycle with only the third-level Spring Water Sutra of the Qi Refining Method is involved, the practice efficiency is "1". Then, with the Black Turtle Bearing Tablet True Skill of the Body Refining Method also integrated into this system, the practice efficiency becomes "1.5" ".

But this time, with the long accumulation of Xuangui's true skill of bearing the stele, and after entering the realm of perfection, the efficiency of practice increased again, from "1.5" to "2".

This is also the reason why the 360 ​​points of practice progress became 480 points this time.

In addition, the "Guardian Monument" that originally existed in the [Talent] column appeared in the [Supernatural Power] column, becoming a small magical power like Five Elements Escape, Wanxiang Method, and Transparent Moon Mirror.

After many verification attempts, Meng Zhou also had a comprehensive understanding of the "Guardian Monument" that became a small magical power, and confirmed that it was a very practical small magical power.

Compared with the "Guardian Monument" that exists as an innate ability, the "Guardian Monument" that has become a minor magical power has greatly improved the depth and breadth of its abilities.

Its basic ability is to provide him with powerful defense, which is all-round.

From the qi and blood, to the magic power, to the soul pool of the sea of ​​consciousness, there is no defect at all.

When this little magical power was unleashed, his entire life seemed to turn into a seamless egg shell with no cracks or cracks.

There is only one way to crack this eggshell, which is to use strong force to break it. If you try to exploit loopholes by looking for flaws, it will be ineffective in the face of this small magical power.

Compared to its defensive capabilities against physical strikes, spell damage, and even spiritual attacks, Meng Zhou valued its defensive and shielding capabilities against curses and other special occult means.

And that's not all this little magical power has to offer.

Depending on the objects used, this little magical power also has different "faces".

Use it on yourself, that is the top defense method.

But if used on other people, this is the top banning method, the trapping method.

If someone is protected by him with the "Guardian Monument", while being protected, the person himself will be like a mosquito condensed in amber, unable to control himself or herself.

There are also disadvantages. If someone can break free of this kind of ban, then the effect of this small magical power on others will be completely disappeared.

Its real effect is, at best, to make the other party freeze temporarily before breaking the ban.

Meng Zhou was already very satisfied with this.

Even if a pill-forming monk can break through this blockade with force, the brief moment of stiffness is enough for him to get the bargaining chip that determines victory or defeat, or even the opponent's life or death.

Meng Zhou suddenly discovered that he only had a small magical power, but when he integrated it into his own ability system, it was like filling in the last piece of the puzzle. His cultivation was still at the sixth level of Dan Formation. Basically, In the world, there is no one worthy of a battle with the core-forming opponent, at least, within the five domains.

As for the third-order great demon, let alone that. Even the third-order peak level demon can only be used as raw materials for me.

…

As the third-level Spring Water Sutra and the Black Turtle Carrying the Monument were successively advanced to perfection, Meng Zhou was pleasantly surprised to find that the end point that originally seemed out of reach was suddenly within easy reach.

As both the "Qi Refining Method" and the "Physical Refining Method" reached perfection, and a steady stream of new insights poured into his heart, Meng Zhou also felt a sense of urgency and pressure in his heart.

In addition to practicing in seclusion, he devoted all his spare time and energy to exploring the "soul refining method".

Time passes quietly in this rhythm.

June.

Cultivation progress +480, six levels of elixir formation 9070/10,000;

July.

The progress of cultivation is +480, and the sixth level of pill formation is 9550/10,000.

During this period, there were no twists and turns, and no one came to disturb Qi Yunfeng.

Time quietly came to the end of July. Meng Zhou paused his enlightenment and entered the quiet room some time earlier. Before officially retreating, he carefully adjusted his physical and mental state.

After that, in a deep state of concentration, Meng Zhou's consciousness once again looked like the way of heaven, overlooking another transformation of the "inner world".

At the end of this retreat, the various forces flowing in the "inner world" finally reached an overflowing state.

The entire "inner world" has been completely filled without any gaps left.

Then, the "inner world" suddenly increased in size, as if the overflowing power had forcibly opened up a wider "inner world".

With this change, the inner world that was originally full of power became empty again.

"Breakthrough." Meng Zhou thought in his heart.

For the alchemy monks, the significance of breaking through from the sixth level of alchemy to the seventh level of alchemy and transforming from a mid-level alchemy monk to a late-level alchemy monk cannot be overstated.

This is the biggest and most difficult level that a monk must break through before he reaches the peak of the pill formation and touches the barrier of Nascent Soul.

And as long as you can successfully break through this level and continue to break through to the eighth or even the ninth level of Dan formation, it will not be too difficult.

Theoretically, even if you use water grinding, as long as you have enough time, even if you crawl forward bit by bit like a snail and a turtle, you can reach the peak of pill formation.

——As long as there is enough time.

Taking this step means standing at the top of the Five Realms Pyramid.

Therefore, if a monk crosses this threshold, I can't be too excited.

But Meng Zhou's mentality was very dull. This was not only related to the special state he was in now, but also because he had already expected this breakthrough.

The entire process and all changes were in order, without any unexpected changes.

He even felt that this breakthrough came too late compared to the past.

Meng Zhou, who had a stable mentality, firmly held the "steering wheel" until the negative energy accumulated in his body reached the limit that he could bear. Then he stopped this retreat and sorted out the results.

[Cultivation progress +450, +10, seventh level of elixir formation 10/10,000]

Because Meng Zhou's practice is basically a three-pole cycle of essence, energy, and spirit. Its biggest feature is that the growth progress of "essence", "qi", and "spirit" are forcibly tied together.

In the past, this kind of "forced binding" had a mixed effect on Meng Zhou.

Without this kind of binding, when the third-level Spring Water Sutra is completed, when the Black Turtle Bearing Monument is completed, and even every previous advancement breakthrough, the changes brought to him will be more obvious.

Although this change will only be reflected in the mana and qi, blood and body alone, breaking the balance of essence, energy and spirit, the effect is that the quality of the mana and the realm of body refining will reach the peak level of the third level in advance.

Now, because of this "forced binding", some achievements that should have flown to the finish line first are being forcibly dragged forward with the large army, moving steadily.

Now, with this breakthrough, all the power contained in the "Inside World" has taken a huge step forward.

What Meng Zhou felt was energy, blood and body far beyond what he had before this retreat, more surging magic power, and the space in the sea of ​​consciousness had quietly become much larger.

The soul pool also becomes wider, deeper, and more real.

The bright moon at the bottom of the pond, the laurel tree in the moon, the palace in the moon... all become clearer.

For Meng Zhou, the changes brought about by his breakthrough in cultivation were all-round.

This time, because it was the breakthrough from the middle stage of pill formation to the late stage of pill formation, this manifestation was even more obvious.

In addition, with this breakthrough, the condensation of Qinglian Sword Marrow has also undergone significant changes.

On the one hand, the quality of Qinglian Sword Marrow has been significantly improved. Whether it is the vitality contained in it or the sharpness of the sword energy, it is far beyond what it used to be, and there is a clear gap.

The Qinglian Sword Marrow was upgraded from the third-level mid-grade to the third-order high-grade.

While the quality has improved, the quantity has decreased a lot.

Instead of being able to condense thirty-six drops per month, it can only condense twenty-four drops in January.

It seems that the number has been reduced a lot, but if you look closely at the vitality contained in every drop of Qinglian Sword Marrow, you can find that the benefits brought by this breakthrough on Qinglian Sword Marrow even exceed the third-level Spring Water Sutra. That time of consummation.

In addition to these gains, Meng Zhou also had some regrets.

Judging from the changes in the progress of cultivation after the breakthrough to the seventh level of alchemy, with this breakthrough, the efficiency of cultivation dropped sharply to one-third of the original level.

Some time ago, because the Qi refining method and the body refining method were completed one after another, the efficiency of practice increased again and again.

After only a few days of prosperity, he had to return to the miserable life of "eating chaffy vegetables". How could Meng Zhou not feel regretful?

"We have to work harder and come up with the soul refining method quickly." Meng Zhou thought in his heart.

The Qi refining method and the body refining method have all reached the level of perfection and there is no way forward.

In order to improve the efficiency of cultivation, the only feasible way that Meng Zhou could think of was to create a soul refining method to completely complete the three-pole circulation system of essence, energy and spirit.

After his cultivation reached the late stage of pill formation, Meng Zhou didn't feel relaxed, but instead felt more urgent.

…

Early morning on the fifth day of September.

Meng Zhou ended this retreat.

——This is also another change brought about after the body training method is completed.

Originally, as the third-level Spring Water Sutra and Black Turtle Bearing Tablet True Skill stabilized in the three-pole cycle, the time consumed in retreat practice at the beginning of each month also became fixed.

The retreat ends on the afternoon of the fifth day of the lunar month, near dusk.

And with the Qi refining method and the body refining method both perfected, the time spent in one retreat has been significantly shortened.

The circulation speed of various powers in the "inner world" has obviously become smoother and smoother.

[Cultivation progress +160, seventh level of elixir formation 170/10,000]

After finishing this retreat, Meng Zhou immediately devoted himself to the exploration and understanding of the soul refining method.

When Meng Zhou was immersed in such a state, scenes of strange and bizarre scenes appeared in the Soul Pond of the Sea of ​​Consciousness.

Sometimes there is a bright moon in the sky, and the stars are like a sea. If you look at it as a whole, all the stars and the bright moon are included in the field of vision, and it looks like a turtle-shaped outline, which seems to be swimming in the sea of ​​stars.

Oh, no, the sea of ​​stars is just a part of its body.

Therefore, it is not swimming in the sea of ​​stars, but swimming outside the sea of ​​stars.

Every tiny movement it makes, in the sea of ​​stars, is a celestial change that is like an epic myth.

"False, big, and empty, it seems to have a clear and concrete vision, but in fact it is only a vision, so far away that you can't touch it."

A cold comment, followed by a soft sigh.

Immediately, the calm soul pool suddenly rippled gently.

As the ripples of the soul pool rippled gently, this huge and breathtaking scene completely disappeared in an instant.

Instead, there was just a small secluded pool in the mountains, quiet and deep.

On the edge of the deep pool, there is a stone tablet without words.

In the deep pool, there is a bright moon hidden, and a vivid little turtle is playing in the deep pool.

The most invincible time seems to have lost its effectiveness here.

Flowers bloom and fall, flowers fall and flowers bloom.

Past, present, Future……

I don't know how many years have passed, but the world outside the deep pool may have been changed by the sharpest carving knife of time.

But here, nothing has changed at all.

The deep pool, the stone tablet, the bright moon, the turtle... they all seemed as alive as yesterday.

Heaven and earth will eventually perish, and everything will have its end.

If there is immortality in the world, there is no need to have too many extravagant and greedy hopes, you only need to have "existence" itself.

“It seems like you want very little, but actually you want everything.”

"This is not greed, this is the most greedy!"

"The most important thing is that there is also no road... Some places may seem to have roads, but it is actually an illusion.

At least, that's the case for me now. "

The cold comment sounded again, followed by another sigh, the soul pool rippled again, and these pictures disappeared.

Soon, a new scene appeared in the soul pool.

In the soul pool, a scene of white clouds emerged.

Soon, the entire soul pool turned into an endless sea of ​​clouds, floating, free, and ethereal. A bright moon loomed, vague and hazy, like an illusion, making the entire sea of ​​clouds look like an illusion.

In the bright moon that occasionally looms, sometimes there are immortals flying into the sky and escaping to the earth, burning rivers and boiling seas, and sometimes there are steel jungles and iron birds soaring.

Immediately, all this disappeared, leaving only an ordinary small mound and a boulder, which pressed a small turtle underneath, making it unable to move. It struggled hard, but it seemed that it could never get out of this predicament.

The next moment, the white clouds regenerate, the boundless sea of ​​clouds reappears, and the bright moon is dim, free, ethereal, and illusory.

Really? Fantasy?

Turtle dream? Meng Zhou Mengye?

Invert the dream.

This vision of the soul pool existed for a slightly longer time than the previous two, but in the end, it disappeared without a trace under a burst of ripples in the soul pool after a sigh.

Since the completion of the Spring Water Sutra in February of the first year of the year, Meng Zhou devoted all his time and energy after retreat to the exploration of new paths.

As the Black Turtle's True Skill of Bearing the Monument also advanced to perfection, this kind of exploration became more "wanton".

In the past few months, visions have appeared frequently in the Soul Pond, and there are all kinds of strange things.

The appearance of every vision is a projection of Meng Zhou's thoughts.
