Cultivation of Immortality: Refining the Innate Spiritual Treasure at the beginning

As the old man explained, Li Yang realized that his previous understanding of the Tower of the Dead was somewhat wrong.

Absorbing the souls of dead creatures is not a tower of the dead, but a spiritual space. The Tower of the Dead is just an entrance and exit to the spiritual space.

This spiritual space is called the spiritual realm. The spiritual space covers almost the entire Divine Abyss Continent.

The space is divided into four layers, corresponding to the spirit-nurturing period, the qi-nurturing period, the qi-sea period, and the foundation-building period.

The cultivators in each layer of space can emit at most the corresponding level of strength. For example, if a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage enters the space of the third-level Qi Sea Stage, he can only display the strength he had before advancing to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

In the first-level spiritual cultivation space, most of the people you have to face are ghosts who have just been sucked into the spiritual realm, and there are also a small number of undead.

The purpose of people like Li Yang entering the space is to kill ghosts. The more you kill, the more generous rewards you get.

After entering the space, they will have an extra token in their hands. After encountering danger, you can leave the space by holding the token in your hand and saying "Exit" silently. Of course, this also means the mission is over.

"There are some other rules in the space, so I won't describe them to you one by one. Just remember that you are here to kill ghosts and undead. You must be careful in there and flee immediately if you encounter danger. If you are killed, your cultivation progress will be reduced. Also, if you encounter other human races, you cannot let down your guard."

"Let's go, it's time for you to enter the spiritual realm!" The old man narrated for more than 10 minutes, and then began to urge Li Yang and the two to enter the spiritual realm to complete the task.

Li Yang approached the Tower of the Undead and touched the Tower of the Undead with his hand like the outer disciples did before.

In an instant, he was sucked into a white space. Then he felt his spirit separate from his body.

When Li Yang regained consciousness, he was already standing in a valley.

At this time, there was nothing in his hand except a token.

Li Yang looked around and found no ghost in his imagination.

Putting the token in his arms, Li Yang walked towards a tree nearby.

He was going to make a handy weapon.

After entering the spiritual realm, ordinary things cannot be used except for clothing that can cover your shame.

Rumor has it that some spiritual items can be brought in. However, those items are extremely precious, and bringing them into the spiritual realm requires a certain price.

Therefore, most people are using the native weapons of the spiritual realm. Of course, as your level increases, you can also use your own spiritual roots as weapons.

Li Yang found a wooden stick as thick as his arm under the tree and held it in his hand as a weapon.

Then, he walked along the path towards the valley, and after just over 200 meters, he discovered a translucent tiger.

The tiger's eyes were dull, its movements were stiff, and it instinctively moved back and forth in the valley. Its hair, which should have been bright and shiny, is now monotonous black and white.

This should be the 'Ghost', the target of this trip's mission.

Li Yang slowly approached with a wooden stick in hand, preparing to make a sneak attack first. However, when he was 5 meters away from the tiger, the tiger suddenly turned around and rushed towards Li Yang.

Fortunately, the tiger was not very fast and he had enough time to react.

Li Yang raised the wooden stick and when the tiger approached, Li Yang smashed it on the head.

Because the tiger moved slowly, its head was hit by the wooden stick without any tricks.

Roar!

The tiger roared and rushed towards Li Yang again, but its movements were slower.

After the last round of confrontation, Li Yang already had a basic understanding of this tiger ghost. His movements were slow and he couldn't touch the corners of his clothes at all. He was slightly defensive, but he could easily break the defense with a wooden stick.

Without the anxiety of seeing an unknown creature for the first time, Li Yang gradually became familiar with the fighting skills of his previous life, retreating to avoid the tiger's bite while attacking the tiger's head.

boom! boom! boom!

Another three sticks were struck on the tiger's head, causing it to howl. When another stick fell, the tiger turned into light and dissipated in the air with a pop.

Where the tiger was just now, there was only a white light group the size of a fingertip.

This is a rune! Unexpectedly, after killing the first ghost, I got a rune! Li Yang was overjoyed when he saw this.

He stretched his right hand into the white light group, and the light gradually poured into his hand. At the end, Li Yang also saw a broken rune slipping into his hand.

Seeing no one around, Li Yang ran under a tree and entered a state of meditation.

In the dantian, in addition to the five white, green, blue, red and yellow flags that were already there, there was now another white light group. The light group approached the metallic spiritual root, then slowly merged into it, and finally disappeared.

This process took less than two minutes. On top of the white flag that was fused with the white light group and represented the metallic spiritual root, there was the incomplete rune he just saw.

It's not safe here. Li Yang didn't practice. He just took a look at the changes in his spiritual roots and withdrew from the visualization.

According to the introduction of the old man in front of the Tower of the Undead, in the first layer of the spiritual space, the rate of obtaining runes by killing ghosts is about 1%, and the probability of obtaining runes that match the attributes of one's own spiritual root is also extremely low.

Li Yang got the rune just by killing a ghost, and he was able to absorb it directly. This is so lucky!

After just absorbing a broken rune, Li Yang didn't feel any change in his spiritual roots.

Picking up the stick, he moved on.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yang has survived in the spiritual realm for 28 days.

During this period, he killed 980 ghosts and obtained 13 broken runes. What makes Li Yang happy is that no matter what kind of rune he encounters, its spiritual roots can absorb it.

Even if he encountered a rune glowing with purple light a few days ago, it was divided and absorbed by his five spiritual roots after being torn apart by Dan Zhongtian. That purple rune was obviously of thunder and lightning attribute, and it did not escape the poisonous hands of the Five Directions Flag.

It seemed that as long as the runes contained within the Five Elements, his spiritual roots could be absorbed. This alone made Li Yang feel that there was something magical about his Five Directions Flag spiritual root.

During this period of time, the ghosts Li Yang encountered were all alone. Even if they were in groups, there would only be five at most together. With his fast speed, he easily eliminated the ghosts in the bull-fighting tactic.

On this day, when Li Yang continued to go deep into the canyon, he saw a group of wolf-shaped ghosts, a total of 12 of them. 8 of them are gathered together, and the remaining 4 are scattered in all directions.

Li Yang carefully approached a scattered wolf-shaped ghost. When the wolf-shaped ghost noticed him and turned around and ran towards Li Yang, he quickly retreated back.

After opening a few meters distance, Li Yang took the wooden stick in his hand and swung it skillfully a few times, and the ghost fell to the ground.

Ouch!

Ouch!

The group of wolf-shaped ghosts not far away all howled and rushed towards Li Yang.

Seeing this situation, Li Yang didn't care about anything else and ran straight to the rear.

Rumble!

At this moment, a roaring sound appeared in the direction Li Yang fled.

Looking up, it turned out that several huge rocks had fallen from the side of the canyon. The boulder was blocking his escape route.

Li Yang looked up and found that on the side of the stone wall more than ten meters high, a young man in gray clothes was working hard to pry the stone and let it roll down.
