How many times does a normal person have to die in the world of cultivation?

Terrifying energy emanated from Jiao Wu's body, and he pressed towards Li Xiaoxiao without leaving any room for him. Li Xiaoxiao felt a blockage in his heart, and automatically activated his crocodile dragon body. Only then did he feel his breathing eased a little.

Just when Li Xiaoxiao thought that the other party would continue to attack, she saw Jiao Wu's hand, which had turned into a beast claw with sharp claws, stabbed into her heart, and the next moment he took out her heart, and blood sprayed all over her face.

The blood in Li Xiaoxiao's body began to boil again, the whites of his eyes turned black uncontrollably, and the black hole in his chest appeared again, swallowing the heart that Jiao Wu handed over.

But one heart seemed not enough to satisfy it, so it sucked in Jiao Wu, who had completely transformed into a mermaid. The process was smooth and silky, and Jiao Wu did not resist at all.

After the absorption was completed, the black hole on the chest closed and disappeared, and Li Xiaoxiao's eyes returned to normal.

But her face began to look ferocious, her mouth stretched to the limit, saliva kept flowing out, and sharper teeth began to grow in the place of the canine teeth.

The teeth stopped growing when they reached the length of the chin. Li Xiaoxiao curled up into a ball, as if he was enduring great pain.

The skin began to grow blue scales that only mermaids have, but soon the scales began to fall off, tearing off a piece of flesh as they fell.

Blood began to flow down the body, dripping into the tiny cracks on the ground, and began to slide back and forth and left and right quickly as if it had life.

In a moment, a formation pattern carved with blood was formed, emitting red light and surrounding Li Xiaoxiao.

I saw her body quickly becoming thinner and she fell to the ground.

Li Xiaoxiao's soul was shrouded in darkness. She tried hard to find an exit, but no matter which direction she moved, it was all pitch black.

"One hundred million lives!!"

"charm!"

"Niu Niu!"

“Can you hear me?”

No one answered.

Just when Li Xiaoxiao gave up struggling, an evil and harsh voice came from the depths of the abyss, "Wake up! Wake up!"

The voice was like a devil's sound piercing his ears, and Li Xiaoxiao felt a sharp pain in his head.

She hugged her head and covered her ears to try to resist the force.

However, the sound grew louder and louder, as if it was about to break through the defenses of her soul.

Suddenly, a faint light appeared in the darkness.

A glimmer of hope ignited in Li Xiaoxiao's heart, and he swam towards the light with difficulty.

As the distance got closer, she discovered that it was actually a red blood sword.

Although it was the first time he saw it, Li Xiaoxiao immediately recognized that this was the true form of the Red Blood Sword!

She couldn't help but reach out and touch it. The moment her hand touched the hilt, a warm current spread throughout her body, and the evil sound in her ears also diminished a lot.

The Red Blood Sword slowly merged into her body, and she felt that she had gained some strength.

At this moment, the darkness around her began to dissipate, and she saw herself in a strange space, surrounded by clouds and mist.

Before she could take a closer look, a vortex suddenly appeared under her feet, pulling her with a strong suction force.

Li Xiaoxiao struggled hard but was still dragged into it.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a formation. Although the old mermaid sitting in front of her had not woken up, his previously shriveled face seemed to have more flesh and was gradually recovering vitality, while her vitality was rapidly draining away.

He wanted to get up and escape from the formation, but found his legs weak and powerless. Li Xiaoxiao could only take out the bronze tripod from his brow bone, control it with his spiritual sense, and slam it hard into one of the points.

The bronze tripod hit the point of the formation, making a loud noise, and the entire formation flashed with dazzling light.

The old mermaid had a look of pain on his face, and he was obviously enduring unspeakable pain.

Dingdong: Gain a shock value of 100.

The formation began to shake, and the vitality that was originally flowing towards the old man began to flow backwards.

The old man who had his eyes closed suddenly opened them. The whites of his eyes were also pitch black, but his pupils were golden.

I saw him forming seals with his hands quickly and muttering something.

Red rays shot out from his fingers, strengthening the formation.

Li Xiaoxin was extremely anxious. She knew that if she couldn't break the formation as soon as possible, she would surely die.

Suddenly, the Red Blood Sword that had merged with her seemed to sense the crisis and emitted hot energy again. Sword energy appeared around her body and enveloped her.

Li Xiaoxiao took back the bronze tripod, concentrated his mind, and guided the energy to rush towards the previous position. This force formed a sharp sword with red light and rushed straight towards the formation point.

With a "click" sound, this time a big hole was torn in the formation.

The moment the formation was broken, Li Xiaoxiao instantly recovered his strength.

The body bounced up and flew out.

As Li Xiaoxiao left the formation, the old man was attacked by the formation, spitting out blood, and his cheek became sunken again.

His body was like a punctured balloon, with life constantly flying out of him.

Li Xiaoxiao took a closer look and accepted everyone who came. He took control of the black hole and began to absorb it wildly.

Mainly anti-customer!

The old man opened his eyes again, and there was resentment in his eyes. Even so, Li Xiaoxiao had drained all his vitality away, and in the end only the shark skin was left on the ground.

This shark skin is a good thing. Li Xiaoxiao raised his hand to take it without hesitation, and a bead fell out of it.

This bead was plain and simple. Li Xiaoxiao sucked it into his hand and immediately sensed the energy inside.

"Could this be the mermaid's tears?" Li Xiaoxiao was overjoyed.

But soon she was no longer happy. She touched her teeth that grew on her chin, took out a mirror and looked at herself, and exclaimed: "Shit!"

If Monkey King saw this, he would definitely beat her to death with a stick. She is simply a monster!

The clothes on her body were also stained with blood. She used the cleaning technique to clean them and looked at the peeling skin. Although the wound had stopped bleeding, it still looked horrifying.

The originally smooth skin now looks as if it had been burned by fire, showing a charred black color, and the surface is covered with ups and downs, uneven marks, like the ruins after a brutal war, which is unbearable to look at.

These distorted textures seem to tell the pain and torture she suffered.

With a helpless sigh, "Charm, I want to exchange for beauty pills."

"Okay host, but your injuries are quite serious. If you want to restore your original beauty, I suggest you buy three." Charm began to sell enthusiastically.

Li Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and asked, "How many charm points are there?"

"Not much, not much, just five."

"Isn't this too much?" After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Can you take this tooth back?"

"Of course." Charm assured confidently.

"Three, then."

Ding Dong: Congratulations to the host for obtaining three beauty pills. After deducting 12 points from the current charm value, there are still three points missing which will be deducted from the luck value.

Current charm value: 0 points, mental charm: 40 (used 2 times), luck value: 57.

Well, the original luck value was 60, and now it has regressed.

Luck value is really important. Seeing how lucky she has been recently, she decided to accumulate more luck value in the future.

Li Xiaoxiao looked at the beauty pill in her hand and threw it into her mouth. The products of the system must be high-quality. The sharp teeth were retracted the next second, and the skin became silky smooth.

Taking out the mirror, Li Xiaoxiao looked at her a few more times, hmm, what a beauty.

She now looks like she is twenty years old, but her temperament is completely different from that of the young girl who had just started out.

Li Xiaoxiao put away the mirror, walked to the seat covered with jewels, and began to observe carefully. In the end, she didn't find anything special, so she collected the jewels and chairs. She could exchange them for a lot of good things. If not, she could just throw them into the Qiankun Realm as decoration.

Li Xiaoxiao shook hands with him. She originally had the strength to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

But I have never found a suitable place to impact my Nascent Soul stage. Now it seems that this underwater world is the best place.

He took out the Juexian insect, placed it on the palm of his hand, covered the surrounding area with spirit stones, and sat on the ground.

It is better to act today than to wait for a day. I will strive to reach the Nascent Soul stage today.

It is not easy to successfully reach the Nascent Soul stage.

This not only requires the practitioner to have profound skills and outstanding talents, but also requires going through countless hardships and obstacles and extremely tempering one's own state of mind.

Li Xiaoxiao feels that she has all these qualities.

First, practitioners must accumulate a huge amount of spiritual power and compress and condense it to extremely high purity.

She can do this because her spiritual sea is several times greater than others.

The process for others is long and arduous, requiring constant absorption of spiritual energy from heaven and earth and refining of spiritual objects, while at the same time using unique mental methods and techniques to guide the spiritual power to circulate through the meridians so that it gradually converges at the dantian.

But she doesn't need to, her body is a bottomless pit, her mental skills are all at the maximum level, this kind of talent is unique.

Secondly, the bottleneck that one faces when reaching the Nascent Soul stage is extremely powerful.

This bottleneck is like an indestructible wall, standing in front of the practitioners, blocking their way forward.

To break through this bottleneck, in addition to having sufficiently powerful spiritual power as support, the more crucial thing is to comprehend a kind of extraordinary Taoism.

This Taoist idea may come from a deep insight into the laws of nature, or it may come from some kind of enlightenment deep in the heart.

Only when a practitioner truly masters this Taoism can he break free from the shackles of the bottleneck and take the crucial step towards the Nascent Soul realm.

Li Xiaoxiao has a clear goal. Her Taoism is not something she has realized, but something that countless predecessors who have traveled through time have realized, and that is - immortality!

Life has both birth and death.

And she only wants life!

I control my own life!

Although these words sound overbearing, this is what she meant!

Follow your heart and desire!

Furthermore, at the critical moment of impacting the Nascent Soul stage, the practitioner's state of mind also plays a crucial role.

If you have distracting thoughts, fear, greed or other negative emotions in your mind, it is very likely that you will fail.

Therefore, practitioners need to focus on cultivating their mind and character in daily life, and maintain a mind that is as calm as water and as firm as a rock.

In this way, when faced with a life-and-death impact, one can respond calmly and exert one's full strength.

In addition, external environmental factors cannot be ignored.

A quiet, peaceful place with rich spiritual energy can help increase the success rate of impacting the Nascent Soul;

On the contrary, if you are in a noisy, chaotic place with thin spiritual energy, the risk of failure will be greatly increased.

Moreover, some precious elixirs, magical weapons and guidance from senior masters can sometimes help practitioners break through difficulties.

In short, the road to the Nascent Soul stage is full of challenges and unknowns, but as long as the practitioner has unswerving faith, hard work and extraordinary coincidences, he or she will be able to overcome this difficulty and step into the coveted Nascent Soul stage.

And Li Xiaoxiao is very confident in herself!

Now that the time, place and people are all right, there is no reason for her to fail.

After getting ready, Li Xiaoxiao began to absorb the energy from the body of the Juexian worm.

When everything was absorbed, the five colors of gold, wood, water, fire and earth emerged from Li Xiaoxiao's body. The five colors blended and collided with each other, and finally entangled together to form a thick stone pillar, penetrating the stone chamber, flying across the sea and straight into the sky.

The moment the beam of light hit the sky, the sky suddenly turned dark. The thick clouds were like a huge lead curtain, pressing down heavily, as if to swallow up the entire world.

The sea breeze started out just blowing gently, but gradually it became wild, with an irresistible force that easily caused the calm sea surface to raise thousand-meter-high waves, as if it could overwhelm the sea in the next moment.

A large ship thousands of kilometers away from here.

The people on the big ship were frightened by the sudden strange phenomenon. When the sea breeze gradually became stronger and the waves began to roll, they activated the ship's protective formation. This formation was extremely costly, so they would not activate it unless it was absolutely necessary.

Without waiting for Zhao Xuan and the others, he immediately drove the boat away, wanting to leave the area as soon as possible.

Someone stared at the celestial phenomenon and muttered to himself, "Why does this look so much like a breakthrough in cultivation?"

"Don't be ridiculous, my dear. Who would try to improve their cultivation on the sea? Are they tired of living? Regardless of success or failure, the monsters on the seabed will surely eat them alive. It must be an ordinary weather change."

"I hope so." If not, the area within a kilometer is estimated to be...

As soon as they finished speaking, bean-sized raindrops began to fall rapidly, hitting the protective shield with dense and rapid knocking sounds. The rain became heavier and heavier, and finally turned into a downpour, as if the sky had cracked, and endless water droplets poured down madly, merging into the sea to form even bigger waves.

Immediately afterwards, thunder rumbled and lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the world covered by clouds.

The thunder grew louder and louder, and countless electric currents gathered together, rolling with the five-colored pillar as the center.

Suddenly, the thunder force tilted down along the five-colored column, without any waste, and all hit Li Xiaoxiao's head.
