Chapter 402: Footsteps Approaching
Realizing the true value of "Tianchi Star Mud", Meng Zhou has a new understanding of Xingxiu Palace and the outer domains.
He also has new thoughts about the "Xingxiu Tianchi" in front of him.
"Who is the blazing white humanoid flame flow that regularly collects "Tianchi Star Mud"?"
"Who is the one who wants to fish in troubled waters and immediately appeared in the Juye Wasteland after Xingxiu Palace came out again this time, harvesting the huge orange humanoid flame flow?"
"Where did the "Tianchi Star Mud" that tampered with the rules of "Xingxiu Tianchi" come from?
What is the real intention of the tamperer?"
"..."
One thought after another emerged from Meng Zhou's heart uncontrollably.
He even thought of Lian Ziling, Yan Zhuang, "Zheng Bo" and others again.
Meng Zhou also thought of Bai Zhi, Yaya and the White Grandma who had died long ago.
...
Thinking of the end, it was really a mess.
In the end, Meng Zhou forced these complicated thoughts to be suppressed.
He did not stay in this "Xingxiu Tianchi" any longer, and decisively withdrew.
His own "water density" slowly decreased, and he, who was originally floating on the water, sank rapidly.
When the bright light became dim again, the "invisible chains" between the Tai Sui bodies distributed in various parts of Xingxu Sea became clear. Following the guidance of these chains, Meng Zhou successfully escaped from this strange water area and returned to the empty sea east of Lingming Island in Xingxu Sea.
The returning Meng Zhou still maintained the state of being transformed into water.
It was not until he went more than 20,000 miles away that he turned into a human body again and hid in the interlayer between the real world and the real world again.
Through the "Tianchi Star Mud", Meng Zhou glimpsed a more magnificent and unfathomable world.
But for the world that showed the tip of the iceberg in his eyes, he had no curiosity at all, nor did he have the slightest desire to explore.
Now he has only one goal in his eyes and only one thing in his heart.
While waiting for the next best opportunity to "hitch a ride", Meng Zhou put aside all distractions and focused on the practice of "Wanxiangzhu".
Twenty days later, when Meng Zhou transformed into a contracted monster in the form of a turtle again, quietly stayed in the beast bag, and entered the Tianyun Wilderness, he had once again gained 50,000 points of "Wanxiangzhu" experience, allowing this fourth-level skill to accumulate more in the master realm.
[Wanxiangzhu Master 238,000/1.6 million]
...
Because of the gains from the last time he swept the Lihen Sect in the Refining Furnace Wilderness, Meng Zhou had more masterless divine wills in his hands, which allowed him to refine more soul clones.
This time, in order to arrange the "visual anchor point" to various places in the Tianyun Wilderness as soon as possible, Meng Zhou arranged 150 third-level middle-grade Tai Sui bodies out in one breath.
Then, Meng Zhou spent nearly a day to arrange 180 "transparent round mirrors" one by one.
After doing all this, a brand new area in the "Interpretation World" began to light up at a very fast speed.
From nothing to something, from small to large.
Wherever the Tai Sui body passes through, it is the place where the "transparent round mirror" can pass.
Wherever the "transparent round mirror" passes, the corresponding area in the "interpretation world" is lit up.
When the 150 Tai Sui bodies spread the "visual anchor points" across all areas of Tianyun Wilderness, everything in Tianyun Wilderness will be reproduced in the "interpretation world".
This work took forty to fifty days in Hongze Wilderness and Lianluo Wilderness.
This time, Meng Zhou got everything done within half a month.
Half a month later, after Juye Wilderness, Hongze Wilderness, and Lianluo Wilderness, the whole picture of Tianyun Wilderness was also clearly reproduced in the "interpretation world".
During this half-month waiting period, Meng Zhou did not continue to practice the "Wanxiang Pearl", but took out the ice sculptures that he had put into the spirit gourd space before leaving Lianluo Wilderness last time.
These ice sculptures formed by the Lihen Sect's Dan, after "thawing", immediately became precious materials for Meng Zhou to practice "flesh and blood rebirth".
As the materials kept dying, resurrecting, dying again, and resurrecting again... until they could no longer be resurrected, the experience of "flesh and blood rebirth" that had stayed in the Great Perfection Realm for many years began to increase at a terrifying speed.
With sufficient materials, Meng Zhou could resurrect 500 people every day.
In other words, Meng Zhou could gain 25,000 "flesh and blood rebirth" experience points a day.
Half a month later, just as the 150 Tai Sui bodies finished arranging the last "visual anchor point" and returned from all directions of the Tianyun Wilderness, "flesh and blood rebirth" also gained a full 390,000 experience points shortly after the "interpretation world" lit up the entire Tianyun Wilderness.
"Flesh and blood rebirth" also completed the remaining accumulation of the Great Perfection Realm from the "Great Perfection 210,000/600,000" that had been there for a long time, and entered the Master Realm.
[Flesh and blood rebirth master 0/1.2 million]
...
As the skill of "flesh and blood rebirth" was promoted from the Great Perfection Realm to the Master Realm, Meng Zhou had a lot of relevant experience and insights in his mind.
Just as Meng Zhou digested all these gains and turned them into his own resources, the "Spiritual Master" profession also improved significantly, adding 4,000 points of professional progress.
The progress from "Level 4 41,000/100,000" became "Level 4 45,000/100,000"
After that, Meng Zhou spent another half a month waiting for the Tianyun Wilderness in the "Interpretation World" to refresh repeatedly to accumulate more information. Meng Zhou finished processing all the remaining ice sculptures in his hand and gained 370,000 "Flesh and Blood Rebirth" experience again.
[Flesh and Blood Rebirth Master 370,000/1.2 million]
When the last practice was over, Meng Zhou was still reluctant to leave.
"Forty-three ice sculptures provided me with a total of 760,000 experience points. So, if I can clean up all the Dan of the Eight Desolate Lihen Sect in the outer domain, I can really practice "Flesh and Blood Rebirth" to perfection."
If this is true, Meng Zhou believes that even with the most conservative estimate, his "Spiritual Master" attainments are enough to reach the fourth-level upper level.
This will undoubtedly be of great help to him in the future when he uses the "Starry Sky Lake" to break through the barrier and turn the "spear" originally pointed at him into a "shield" to protect himself.
With this in mind, Meng Zhou had already left his shelter and headed for the third-order evil vein he had chosen, preparing to "fine-tune and reshape" it.
At this moment, it was the end of April.
One and a half months later.
Meng Zhou completed all the set work.
During this period, driven by a large amount of high-quality heart essence and blood, the strength of the golden beetle group finally reached the peak level of the third order.
At this point, the individual strength of each golden armor spirit insect has reached the limit that its blood can support.
If it cannot pass the tribulation and break through, there will be no room for further progress.
At this moment, the heart essence and blood accumulated after the ninth level of the Dan formation has only consumed about 20%.
Meng Zhou's plan to cultivate the golden beetle group did not stop at this step.
From a certain perspective, now is the real beginning.
Meng Zhou continued to consume heart essence and blood, but the direction of cultivating the golden beetle group has changed from "qualitative change" to "quantitative change".
No longer aiming to improve the level of individual blood, but to increase the number of individual spirit insects and expand the overall scale of the insect group.
Under such circumstances, the effectiveness of high-quality heart essence and blood was more clearly reflected, and the number of new larvae increased at a rate far exceeding the previous rate.
The growth rate of new larvae was also very terrifying.
In terms of conversion efficiency, almost two thumb-sized heart essence and blood were consumed to obtain a thumb-sized adult with individual strength reaching the peak level of the third order.
…
In the last half month of waiting for his return, Meng Zhou once again devoted his energy to the cultivation of the "Wanxiang Pearl".
When he returned to Xingxiu Sea at the end of June, the "Wanxiang Pearl" gained another 35,000 experience points.
[Wanxiang Pearl Master 273,000/1.6 million]
At the same time, there were 46 more ice sculptures in Meng Zhou's spirit gourd space, all of which were transformed from the Lihen Sect's elixir.
In terms of quantity, there were three more than those harvested in the Refining Furnace Wasteland.
But the quality is inferior to that of the Refining Furnace Wasteland. After Meng Zhou entered the Ancient Cui Wasteland, he spent about a month turning all these ice sculptures into consumables for his "Blood Rebirth". After all of them were consumed, they only provided him with 720,000 experience points in total, which was 40,000 points less than the Refining Furnace Wasteland.
"Blood Rebirth" was therefore stuck in the final stage of the master realm and failed to advance to the grandmaster realm in one go.
[Blood Rebirth Master 1.09 million/1.2 million]
When "Blood Rebirth" completed the accumulation of the master realm and advanced to the grandmaster realm, Meng Zhou had already experienced two more wastelands after the trip to the Ancient Cui Wasteland.
After finishing the trip to the Ancient Cui Wasteland, Meng Zhou went to the Wansong Wasteland again.
On the return trip, under Meng Zhou's "stealing", the Lihen Sect's Jiedan in the Wansong Wasteland also turned into ice sculptures and entered the Linghu space, which was about to become precious resources for his "Blood Rebirth" skill to go further.
However, it was already March of the following year when Meng Zhou gained 790,000 experience points with the help of these ice sculptures, which not only allowed his "rebirth of flesh and blood" to complete the accumulation of the master realm, but also made the skills that had just entered the master realm take a solid step forward.
Because Meng Zhou had waited for nearly a month after returning to Xingxiu Sea from Wansong Wasteland in early December, and only got a suitable opportunity to enter Shiyuan Wasteland at the end of the year.
Shortly after entering Shiyuan Wasteland, Meng Zhou began to practice in seclusion for a month.
[Cultivation progress +720, nine-layer Jindan 8205/10,000]
After Meng Zhou finished his retreat in the first month of the year when he was ninety-six years old, he began to work on a series of arrangements for Shiyuan Wasteland.
It was not until this moment that Meng Zhou found an opportunity to use this batch of "materials" harvested from Wansong Wasteland.
——In Xingxiu Sea, except for the extremely small demand and influence on the outside world, which was almost a pure "craft" to practice the "Wanxiang Pearl", Meng Zhou had stopped all activities.
There is only one goal, to minimize his presence as much as possible.
Therefore, Meng Zhou spent almost all his time in practicing the "Wanxiang Pearl" while waiting for the next "train" in Xingxiu Sea. In addition, after entering other wastelands, he could always squeeze out some time to practice the "Wanxiang Pearl" while practicing "Blood Rebirth" and advancing various actions according to the plan.
It seems that the daily gains are not great, but after accumulating day by day, the gains are still considerable.
At the end of the year when he was ninety-fifth, that is, before Meng Zhou entered the Stone Plains, the "Wanxiangzhu" gained another 240,000 experience points after the inventory at the end of June.
[Wanxiangzhu Master 513,000/1.6 million]
...
Stone Plains.
It took Meng Zhou more than a month to turn all the "materials" obtained from the Wansong Wasteland into "Blood Rebirth" experience.
When this batch of "materials" was processed by Meng Zhou, he also gained a series of progress.
The most significant change, of course, is that "Blood Rebirth" itself has completed the leap from Master to Grandmaster.
[Blood Rebirth Grandmaster 680,000/2.4 million]
With such a significant improvement in the skill of "Blood Rebirth", the "Spiritual Master" that is closely related to it has naturally risen, and gained a full 16,000 points of professional progress.
[Spiritual Master Fourth Level 61,000/100,000]
Only from the paper data, the increase is four times the promotion of "Blood Rebirth" from Great Accomplishment to Grandmaster.
Not to mention, the gains from career progress are not a simple linear relationship. The deeper the career attainments, the more difficult it is to obtain.
Due to this progress, the "spiritual master" profession has reached the threshold of the fourth-level upper grade.
In addition, the size of the golden beetle swarm is also increasing with the continuous consumption of high-quality heart essence and blood.
...
At the end of April this year.
Meng Zhou left the Stone Plains and returned to the Xingxiu Sea.
Twenty days later, Meng Zhou returned to his hometown from the Xingxiu Sea, the Juye Wilderness, that is, the Five Domains.
Here, Meng Zhou does not need to arrange any "visual anchor point" or "transparent round mirror". This is the starting point of his practice, and his understanding of this place is the most profound.
Therefore, Meng Zhou immediately entered the working state after entering.
And the third-level evil vein that he chose to entrust with the "important task" is not elsewhere, but is located in the Wumeng Sea within the jurisdiction of the Qingxuan Domain.
The Lianluo Wasteland, Gucui Wasteland, Wansong Wasteland, and Shiyuan Wasteland that Meng Zhou had basically arranged all had one thing in common, that is, the third-level evil veins that he chose and entrusted with the "important task" were basically located in the center of the wasteland.
If he follows this principle, Meng Zhou should look for a suitable target in the "gap area" between the five domains.
But he chose the "Wumeng Sea" closer to the north.
This is naturally not a casual move, and it contains subtle intentions that only he and Lian Ziling can understand.
Because according to his arrangement, once the Wumeng Sea starts to upgrade in the future, the most core area is near a trench.
In the eyes of others, there is nothing special here.
But Meng Zhou believes that Lian Ziling must remember that this place once had a name, "Qihuangmen's Nest".
This is different from the upgrade rules of all other wastelands, and the core location is so "just right"...
Meng Zhou believes that such a change is enough to lure out Lian Ziling's clone. (End of this chapter)
