Chapter 403 Immortal True Meaning
Compared to the four Yuanying Zhenjuns standing in the open, including Lian Ziling's real body, this unknown to everyone, who has been hiding in Lian Ziling's cave since returning from the Juye Wilderness, and never goes out again, is more difficult for Meng Zhou.
He can easily "fish" the four Yuanying Zhenjuns away from the Xingxiu Sea at a specific time, but the same method will not have any effect on Lian Ziling's clone.
Continuing to make some "new articles" on the "Qihuang Sect" event, which has been completely settled, is the easiest and most effective way Meng Zhou can think of.
If Meng Zhou was still skeptical about the effectiveness of this method, then after knowing the true effect of "Tianchi Star Mud", Meng Zhou was 100% sure!
...
At the end of June, Meng Zhou left the Juye Wilderness.
In addition to completing all the layouts for the Juye Wilderness, the two fourth-level skills "Wanxiang Pearl" and "Blood and Flesh Rebirth" have also made different degrees of progress in their respective realms.
The most noteworthy thing is that when Meng Zhou left the Juye Wilderness, he left behind 8,000 golden armored spirit insects whose individual strength had reached the third-level limit.
This terrifying swarm of insects, which was powerful and large in number, enough to turn the entire Juye Wilderness into a no-man's land, was not left by Meng Zhou in the Wumeng Sea.
Instead, it was quietly sleeping in a beast bag, and this beast bag was hidden in an inconspicuous corner of a third-level evil vein in the jurisdiction of the Jinding Domain.
And in this small beast bag, there is another force lurking that can easily turn the Juye Wilderness into ruins -
Thirty-six clones of the Fanlu Star Lotus!
Fanlu Star Lotus, a third-level top-grade spirit lotus.
The clones of the Fanlu Star Lotus also have strength comparable to the peak of the Jindan stage, but what Meng Zhou values most is its mobilization of "star power".
As for how to use the Fanlu Star Lotus, Meng Zhou had a clear direction in his mind many years ago.
At that time, Meng Zhou was still practicing in Qiyun Peak, and had not yet started his "wandering" practice.
At that time, because the time was too short and his attainments in all aspects were far from being as profound and mature as they are now, Meng Zhou only completed the theoretical foundation for the use of the Fanlu Star Lotus. The specific practice was only to make nine Fanlu Star Lotus clones form a formation at the same time.
The nine Fanlu Star Lotus clones formed a formation, using the third-level top-grade spiritual body to guide, condense, and contain the fourth-level star power, breaking through the grade limit.
In terms of power quality alone, it is not inferior to the Zhenjun cultivator who has just entered the Nascent Soul and whose cultivation is still in the early stage of the Nascent Soul.
This was also the first method that Meng Zhou thought of at the time that could be replicated on a large scale and could face the Nascent Soul Zhenjun head-on.
It was precisely because of this method that Meng Zhou dared to deal with Lian Ziling face to face and even entered the Xingxiu Sea.
After years of continuous accumulation, as well as the all-round progress and improvement of the ways of spiritual masters, knot masters, and even the art of elixir, talismans, and arrays, even if Meng Zhou did not devote too much time and energy to this, but only used it as a pastime in his spare time, Meng Zhou could already do it. At the same time, he could form a formation with 108 clones of the Dew Star Lotus. The terrifying deterrence it could form would far exceed the formation formed by nine clones of the Dew Star Lotus.
But Meng Zhou only left 36 clones of the Dew Star Lotus in the Juye Wasteland in the end.
It was not that he did not want to arrange more.
The reason why he was so "wronged" was also very simple - the amount of the masterless divine will was limited.
Even in every wasteland, when he "took advantage of the situation" and packed the Lihen Sect's elixir into his own spirit gourd space, Meng Zhou would also have a considerable amount of masterless divine will.
But if these masterless divine wills were refined into soul clones that could match the third-level top-grade spiritual lotus clones, the number would be very limited.
Counting the inventory in hand, as well as those without master wills that have not yet fallen into his hands and are now "kept" by a group of Lihen Sect's Jindan, arranging thirty-six avatars of the luxuriant star lotus in each wasteland is the limit of what he can do.
This limitation is determined by the limited resources in reality.
Although Meng Zhou felt a little helpless, after a little depression, he still accepted it calmly.
…
In the second half of this year, Meng Zhou first took advantage of a suitable opportunity to briefly enter and exit the Tianyun Wasteland again, completing the work that was not completed last time. When leaving the Tianyun Wasteland again, Meng Zhou once again left behind eight thousand golden armored spirit insects whose individual strength had reached the third-level limit.
Along with them, there were thirty-six avatars of the luxuriant star lotus.
…
After that, Meng Zhou went to the Lingyue Wasteland again.
While incorporating the entire Lingyue Wasteland into the "Interpretation World" and completing all the work that should be done on the selected third-level evil veins, Meng Zhou also left eight thousand golden armored spirit insects and thirty-six avatars of the luxuriant star lotus here.
…
Since then, Meng Zhou has traveled all over the eight wastelands of the outer domain.
In addition to the Lihen Sect's Dan in the Juye Wasteland, which had long been a stepping stone for Meng Zhou, the situation in the Hongze Wasteland was special. In order to avoid unnecessary twists and turns, Meng Zhou did not deal with the Lihen Sect's Dan there for the time being. The Lihen Sect's Dan in the other six wastelands all became the food for the rapid progress of "Blood Rebirth".
Starting from the Refining Furnace Wasteland, he successively gained 760,000, 720,000, and 790,000 experience points in the three wastelands, allowing "Blood Rebirth" to complete the leap from great success to the master level.
The cultivation "materials" harvested from the remaining three wastelands successively brought Meng Zhou 730,000, 690,000, and 300,000 experience points.
The reason why the experience points provided by the last wasteland showed a cliff-like downward trend was not because the number of Lihen Sect's Dan-forming in this wasteland had sharply decreased, but because after Meng Zhou gained 300,000 experience points from this batch of "materials", "Blood Rebirth" had already completed all the accumulation of the Grandmaster Realm.
With the continuous perception and experience pouring into Meng Zhou's heart like a flood, "Blood Rebirth", the first fourth-level skill that Meng Zhou had mastered, finally took the last step and entered the realm of perfection.
And with the perfection of "Blood Rebirth", Meng Zhou naturally stopped practicing this skill.
The remaining "materials" that could have provided him with more than 400,000 "Blood Rebirth" experience points were also frozen in the spirit gourd space by Meng Zhou, left for the future, in case of emergency.
Meng Zhou's thoughts had already drifted elsewhere after "Rebirth of Flesh and Blood" reached perfection.
With the perfection of "Rebirth of Flesh and Blood", the most direct change was that the "Spiritual Master" profession, which had already reached the threshold of the fourth-level upper grade, finally took the last step before the door.
An extremely solid step!
The progress of the fourth-level spiritual master +29,000, directly from "61,000/100,000" to "90,000/100,000".
This step directly made Meng Zhou's professional attainments in the "Spiritual Master" complete a leap that other cultivators had difficulty in countless steps to complete.
At the same time, the substantial progress of the "Spiritual Master" profession, the extraordinary improvement in the vision level and the height of the pattern, also affected the "Knot Master" profession, and increased the professional progress of 4,000 points.
From [Knot Master Fourth Level 48,000/100,000] to [Knot Master Fourth Level 52,000/100,000]
Although this progress is not as exaggerated as that of the "Spirit Master", it was originally a sideline of the "aftermath".
With this series of amazing progress, Meng Zhou's original doubts about how to transform and use the "Xingxiu Tianchi" disappeared completely like ice melting.
The moment he thought about it, an extremely clear idea appeared in Meng Zhou's mind.
Since then, although Meng Zhou's cultivation has not yet reached the end of the Jindan stage, the road to the Yuanying stage has been opened up under her step-by-step preparation.
——Meng Zhou has 200% confidence in breaking through the Yuanying stage.
"If you can't succeed even if you do this step, then there are few cultivators in this world who are qualified to achieve the Yuanying stage since there have been cultivators.
The four Yuanyings in Xingxiu Palace now, one by one, will fail when they take the first step!"
Meng Zhou thought that this was all the benefits brought to him by the perfection of the fourth-level skill "Rebirth of Flesh and Blood".
Meng Zhou was also very satisfied with this harvest.
But in fact, this is not all the harvest this time!
When Meng Zhou completely digested the new experience and insights gained from the perfection of "Rebirth of Flesh and Blood", he completely incorporated the great progress of the "Spiritual Master" profession into his own cognition and control.
The perfect true form of the fourth-level skill "Rebirth of Flesh and Blood" quietly emerged in the Soul Pond of the Sea of Consciousness, and then quietly melted into it, as if it had never appeared.
In the Soul Pond of the Sea of Consciousness, the green spiritual lotus that existed in the center of the Soul Pond and had never moved suddenly swayed gently.
Then, on the green spiritual lotus, the green lotus seed that usually had no other movement except for the regular light fluctuations that illuminated the Soul Pond disappeared.
It became a real and extremely real green lotus seed.
Meng Zhou even had a feeling that if he wanted, he could even call this green lotus seed out from the Soul Pond of the Sea of Consciousness and make it appear in the palm of his hand in the real world.
Of course, he couldn't do such a stupid thing to satisfy this shallow curiosity.
This is the true meaning of immortality!
And at the moment when the true meaning of immortality was completely completed, Meng Zhou also understood its value.
——This is equivalent to a law of the great way!
With it, as long as he can successfully break through and form a Yuanying, then, without any practice or secret technique, his Yuanying will be innately close to a law.
He can mobilize and drive the power of this law within his power and become the darling of the law of the great way.
This is comparable to the treatment of a fourth-level true spirit.
And what is even more terrifying is that the blue lotus seed in Meng Zhou’s hand is called "vitality and destiny".
This is simply the real Tang Monk meat!
If this matter is accidentally leaked, what kind of terrible waves will it cause?
Meng Zhou didn’t dare to think about it.
A "Tianchi Star Mud" that has no direct relationship with him has already disturbed this world so much!
...
Time is moving forward slowly and firmly.
Unknowingly, time has come to the new year.
In this year, Meng Zhou is ninety-seven years old.
With the end of the retreat in the first month of the year, Meng Zhou once again steadily gained 720 points of cultivation progress, and he was one step closer to the peak of the ninth level of Jindan.
[Ninth level of Jindan 8925/10,000]
In June of this year, Meng Zhou completed all the preparations for the Eight Wastelands in the Outer Realm as originally planned.
Meng Zhou not only included all the eight wastelands in the outer domain into the inspection network formed by the "Deductive World" and "Transparent Round Mirror", but also selected a third-level evil vein in each of the eight wastelands and upgraded it with exaggerated margins.
Just waiting for the hundreds of "Wanxiang Pearls" buried in advance to "explode" at a scheduled time.
Not only that, Meng Zhou also left 8,000 golden armored spirit insects with individual strength reaching the third-level limit in each wasteland.
Eight wastelands, that is 64,000, which Meng Zhou used up all his heart and blood in exchange.
In addition, Meng Zhou also arranged 36 clones of the Fanlu Star Lotus in each wasteland.
Just to cultivate these Fanlu Star Lotuses, Meng Zhou used up all the third-level upper-grade Qinglian Sword Marrow he had accumulated.
——It takes 60 drops of the third-level upper-grade Qinglian Sword Marrow to cultivate a Fanlu Star Lotus. The 36 Fanlu Star Lotus clones required in a wasteland require 2,160 drops of Qinglian Sword Marrow.
Even if the original Fanlu Xinglian clones in Meng Zhou's hand were deducted, in order to complete the remaining Fanlu Xinglian clones, Meng Zhou's accumulated Qinglian Sword Essence of more than 15,000 points was almost completely consumed.
This time, the reason why Meng Zhou was so "unwise" to throw all the Qinglian Sword Essence accumulated for so many years on "Fanlu Xinglian" was because it was the only way to control the fourth-level power with a third-level body that could be replicated on a large scale.
At this stage, for Meng Zhou, everything else is unimportant.
Using the chips in his hand, sending himself to the fourth-level Yuanying level as steadily and safely as possible is the only problem he needs to consider.
In order to achieve this goal, Meng Zhou did it without reservation.
From his preparations that took several years, it can also be seen that Meng Zhou really did it.
At this moment, just when Meng Zhou had completed all the planned work, the "Wanxiangzhu" had accumulated 610,000 experience points on the original basis after a year and a half of accumulation.
[Master of the Universal Pearl 1.123 million/1.6 million]
Meng Zhou estimated in his mind that since there were no other matters to tie him up, he could put all his time and energy into the cultivation of the Universal Pearl.
Even if he could only gain 2,500 experience points every day, he would complete the accumulation of the master level and advance to the Grandmaster level in half a year at most.
And with this leap, based on the experience of the "Spiritual Master", the "Knot Master" is likely to take the opportunity to enter the fourth-level upper level.
Thinking of this, Meng Zhou was about to start the cultivation of the "Universal Pearl".
But just as he was about to act, a question suddenly appeared in Meng Zhou's mind.
"Have I really reached the limit of what I can do at the moment?" Meng Zhou asked himself. (End of this chapter)
