Chapter 618: The Innate Immortal Qi is Invulnerable to All Methods
Yu Lie sat cross-legged in the depths of the sea of blood. When the steps in his mind became completely clear, he opened his eyes and glanced at the other people who were sitting cross-legged and practicing nearby.
He raised his hand and left a sound transmission note at the spot, informing everyone that he had something to do and would be leaving temporarily, then he flew away from the area.
The inheritance of the ancient witches is a matter of great importance. Yu Lie doesn't know whether this clan still has any enemies in the current mountain and sea world, or if the news gets out, will it attract the attention of immortals and cause them to want to capture him and cultivate his bloodline.
Therefore, when he stepped into the ancient witch's path, he chose an uninhabited place and acted cautiously, so as not to be exposed for some reason later and arouse suspicion from Heishuizi and others.
Half a day later.
Under the guidance of the treasure-hunting bamboo rat, Yu Lie came to an area covered with rubble. He hid in it, took out a strand of ancient witch's blood that had been almost refined, and placed it in front of him.
When this blood came out, although it was only a strand and its purity was not perfect, it immediately caused a strange phenomenon in the sea of blood.
The rubble around them vibrated, producing a sound like wind and thunder.
Yu Lie held this strand of blood in his hand, and an irrepressible desire for greed and a complex feeling of awe arose in his body. Through this strand of blood, he could vaguely generate a certain degree of interactive sensing with this sea of blood.
"It is rumored that the ancient witch clan is the predecessor of the human race. There is even a saying that our human race is the gradual degeneration of the witch clan. In fact, in ancient times, the human body today was also revered as the body of the Great Dao. The reason for this is the power of the ancient witches.
However, now, the reason why the Shanhai Realm reveres the human body has become because of the strength of the human race’s immortal path.”
As thoughts flashed through Yu Lie's mind, he mobilized his spiritual sense and focused it on the wisp of ancient witch's blood.
Soon, the feeling in his heart just now was not false. Using this strand of ancient witch's blood as a bridge for casting spells, he successfully connected to the nearby sea of blood.
A hazy blood mist spread out in all directions with him as the center, covering an area of dozens of miles. It was able to block spiritual consciousness and obscure spells, making it difficult for people to peek into this area.
If anything enters the blood mist, not only will it be turned upside down and difficult to tell the direction, it will also attract Yu Lie's attention and make him alert.
This was exactly the purpose for Yu Lie to take out this strand of blood in advance. With the blood of the ancient witch as a blessing, he could arrange more effective protective measures than ordinary formations.
In addition to the hazy blood mist, a number of earthworm maggots suddenly flew out from his purple palace, circling around, and following Yu Lie's orders, spreading out to the periphery to act as guards.
Yu Lie, who inherited the ancient witch's legacy and condensed his divine power, naturally found a way to control the earthworm maggots.
After finishing all the tasks, he sat cross-legged in the blood mist silently, concentrating on the Spirit Transformation Pool, mixing and purifying the blood of the ancient witch.
Soon, the result that made him extremely surprised and proud appeared.
The status of the Purple Mansion Spirit Transformation Pool was exactly as he expected. Not only was it able to extract the blood of the ancient witch from the flesh and blood of immortal infants and earthworms, the concentration had reached a level that was usable in the inherited memory. This level was not the limit of the Spirit Transformation Pool.
Yu Lie looked dazed: "Is it possible to go one step further?!"
He was pleasantly surprised, and immediately made a decision to place the ancient witch ancestor's blood, which had already been purified to the standard, in the Spirit Transformation Pool for further purification.
Slowly, the blood of the ancient witch ancestor was further purified, and the innate energy contained in it became more and more rich. When a portion of the ancient witch ancestor's blood seemed to be purified to the extreme, the bloodline information inside it was completely eliminated, leaving only the pure innate immortal energy.
At this time, Yu Lie just paused the purification.
He took out that wisp of innate immortal energy, and his eyes became dazed again:
“It turns out that spiritual energy is not the final destination of all things in the world after being purified to the extreme in the Spiritual Transformation Pond, but this innate immortal energy is!
In other words, the innate immortal energy is the next stage of spiritual energy."
There are five grades of spiritual stones in the world: inferior, low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade. The spiritual energy is also divided accordingly. In the mountain and sea world, only immortals are qualified to use the top-grade spiritual stones.
Yu Lie originally thought that immortals of all levels used top-grade spirit stones. There was no longer any division in quality, only in quantity.
But now, inspired by the Spirit Transformation Pond, he realized that among the immortals, only the lower-level immortals would only use spirit stones. For the higher-level true immortals, earthly immortals, celestial immortals, etc., the use of top-grade spirit stones is becoming less and less for them, and they have to use the innate immortal energy to practice.
Yu Lie pondered, combined with his limited knowledge, and said secretly:
"If an immortal wants to be immortal, he must take the elixir of immortality. It is said that the medicinal properties of the elixir of immortality are actually the innate immortal energy.
Perhaps this energy is far more important to immortals than spiritual energy. It is no longer just able to increase and maintain the immortals' cultivation, but has become like rice for mortals. If you don't eat it for a meal, you will be hungry. If you don't eat it for a long time, you will directly 'starve to death'!"
If ordinary Taoists knew that Yu Lie was comparing rice with the innate immortal energy, they would probably feel that he was lowering the value of this energy.
But in the eyes of truly knowledgeable people and immortals, this analogy, although simple, hits the nail on the head.
Because that's the truth.
Below the level of immortals, although spiritual energy is important to Taoists, without it, they will not face the threat of death. Without external force, they will slowly degenerate into mortals and then die at the end of their lifespan.
As for the immortals who have broken the limit on their lifespan, especially those whose lifespan is over ten thousand years, their immortal bodies, consciousness, and magic powers all require the immortal energy to maintain. Once the supply is cut off, they will "starve to death."
Among them, those immortals who have practiced both sex and life or have become immortals through the Yin spirit, when they are starving to death, can choose to voluntarily shed their immortal bodies, return to the ranks of mortal creatures, eat rice and noodles, and live by breathing in spiritual energy. This is called reincarnation and starting over again.
As for those who rely solely on their physical bodies to become immortals, there is no turning back. Once the physical body collapses, their consciousness will completely dissipate, and they will suffer the five decays of immortality and die of old age between heaven and earth.
Therefore, the immortals, especially the wandering immortals, are already free and at ease compared to the Taoists who have not yet become immortals. They can travel around the void without any constraints.
But among the immortals, their real situation is lonely and miserable. They have no place to take root and are scattered like ghosts. After ten thousand years, they will die of old age and their immortal bodies will fall into depravity.
Only by absorbing and exhaling the innate immortal energy can immortals remain forever young, immortal, continue to practice, and even have the possibility of truly escaping the cycle of life and death.
This is also the reason why immortals such as Blood Maggot are willing to be commanded by the Emperor of Daoting, and the upcoming battle to become immortals is an extremely important opportunity for Zizhuzi and others.
What they are trying to do are all the immortal energy, as well as the elixir of immortality and the fairy garden that can continuously produce the immortal energy!
Yu Lie was thinking about these things. Although he could not get confirmation from the immortal at the moment, he was sure, both logically and intuitively, that what he thought was correct.
This immediately dispelled his fascination with the immortals in the legends, and he no longer thought that they were like the stars in the sky or the sun and the moon in the water, which were out of reach.
"It turns out that immortals still have to make a living."
Yu Lie sighed softly, feeling quite sad.
But immediately, he stared at the ray of innate immortal energy in front of him, and ecstasy appeared in his eyes.
The immortals could only cultivate the elixir of immortality in the immortal garden to slowly give birth to the immortal energy, or plunder the immortal energy from other people and objects. But after Yu Lie became an immortal, he had another choice.
That is to pick up the bodies or materials whose immortal energy has been squeezed out, but whose status belongs to immortal creatures, and squeeze out the immortal energy from them again!
Realizing this, Yu Lie murmured in his heart:
"Wine cup, wine cup, calling you the Spiritual Transformation Pool really underestimates you. Perhaps I should call you the Immortal Transformation Pool or the Divine Transformation Pool..."
The innate immortal energy has different names in the heavens and all realms. For example, the ancient immortals called this energy "immortal energy", and many immortal gods from foreign lands called it "divine energy" and so on.
For a moment, Yu Lie was extremely excited.
The bronze wine cup can not only help him achieve enlightenment and become an immortal, but also help him to continue to make progress courageously and diligently on his future immortal path without being restricted by resources.
After he became an immortal, his peers were still calculating carefully for a breath of immortal energy, some even selling themselves into slavery. However, he, Yu Lie, could go against his innate nature through the Spirit Transformation Pool and obtain an endless supply of immortal energy.
This made Yu Lie exclaim again:
"It's fate, it's fate!"
He secretly thought that when he became an immortal, he would let the Hualing Pond feast on immortal food, and then he would change its name and call it "Creation Immortal Pond".
After a long time.
Yu Lie tried many more times and purified a few strands of innate immortal energy, confirming that the upper limit of the Spirit Transformation Pool was unpredictable.
He couldn't help but taste these strands of innate immortal energy.
The result was that Yu Lie's incomplete cultivation of the Dao was achieved in one year by consuming a strand of it, and the Qi he obtained was purer than what he had painstakingly cultivated, and in turn, it also refined the rest of the Qi in his body.
He ate a little more, and his cultivation level soared to two hundred and fifty years.
In other words, if he had enough immortal energy and divine power, Yu Lie could accumulate three hundred years of cultivation in one day, enter the next transformation, and be on the verge of forming a pill.
This almost made him unable to hold back, and he wanted to put aside the ancient witch inheritance temporarily and eat his fill first.
Fortunately, he was determined enough to resist the impulse.
"First, I will inherit the body of the ancient witch, and then I will have a feast."
Yu Lie warned himself in his heart, forcing his attention away from the immortal energy, and took out all the ancient witch blood that had been purified to the extreme from the Spirit Transformation Pool and stopped preparing it.
Next, he took out silver needles and inserted them into 108 acupuncture points on his body.
This move was not to introduce the blood of the ancient witch ancestor into his body like he did when he refined the marrow and established the roots, but to use a secret method to activate the blood and qi in his body so that his body could withstand the subsequent inheritance process.
At the same time, Yu Lie's body slowly grew scales, sharp claws, a snake body, carp whiskers... and turned into a dragon more than twenty feet long.
If someone else was here and saw his demonic body, they might even think he was a real dragon, just a young real dragon that had just been born. It had the appearance of a dragon, but had not yet grown up.
The true form is revealed and the demon body unfolds.
Yu Lie has completely released the potential of his physical body and has made preparations for various restrictions to prevent himself from going crazy and lost like Li Gen did last time.
Strands of the ancient witch ancestor's blood also flew out from the purple mansion and turned into strands of silk threads, which gathered together and formed into blood balls the size of a baby's head.
Compared to Yu Lie's huge monster body, the ancient witch ancestor's blood is pitifully small, not even as big as the scales on his body.
This is not what Yu Lie has left, but the mountain-sized heart essence and blood, the flesh and blood of the immortal infant, and the ancient witch essence and blood extracted from their bodies, plus four or five Dancheng-level earthworms, is really only this little.
The next moment, Yu Lie used his true energy to lift the blood of the ancient witch ancestor and smeared it on his own demon body.
The method to inherit the ancient witch's ancestral blood is extremely simple. You only need to smear it all over your body, and then the ancestral blood will automatically transform and inherit the body. If you can survive it, you will succeed. If you can't, you will die by self-immolation.
In the ancient witch inheritance that Yu Lie obtained, there were actually more records of various resources that could be used to refine the body of the ancient witch. They were spread across the Three Thousand Worlds and numbered as many as one million, which greatly broadened his horizons.
After that, if he wanted to continue to strengthen the body of the ancient witch, he would take the essence and blood of all creatures in the world and all kinds of rare spiritual fluids, and smear them all over his body. He would then be able to transform his physical body and move straight towards the immortal body of the ancient witch.
Compared with the sophisticated "Four-Nine Profound Art", this process is so simple that it is almost crude, and has a very ancient style.
However, the principle of its practice is very similar to the theory of "taking medicine to maintain health" in today's Taoism.
After the rest of the lines have been painted.
Although the ancestral blood was only a thin layer and difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, he immediately felt as if he had fallen into the heart of the earth, and his whole body was burning with unbearable heat.
He quickly started to practice the only auxiliary method inherited from the ancient witches, a breathing method.
Gusts of wind and thunder immediately appeared around him, assisting him in refining his ancestral blood.
Breathe in! Breathe in!
Just when Yu Lie thought that, relying on the dragon body he had tempered and the various secret techniques he had mastered, such as the transformation of the earthworm maggot and the immortal evil spirit power, it would be a very easy matter for him to inherit the ancient witch's way.
As a result, not long after, severe pain began to rise throughout its body. Its scales, claws, whiskers, tail and other parts were all corroded and rotted. The pain was much more severe than the previous transformation and was unbearable.
Especially when Yu Lie circulated his true energy and wanted to cast a secret spell on himself to delay the erosion of his ancestral blood, he was horrified to find that no spell worked on him!
Even the Death Flame was suppressed by the thin layer of ancestral blood on its body and turned into a phantom, unable to enter or exit, and without any sound at all.
This made Yu Lie's heart skip a beat, and he immediately thought of a major characteristic of the ancient witch's body, which was "invulnerable to all kinds of attacks."
