Chapter 048: Breakthrough
Just when the outer area of the Demon Beast Forest was in chaos, in a cave near the water body inside, Qing Ming was sitting cross-legged on a protruding stone, surrounded by water, and there were some emerging stones scattered on the water surface.
The stalactites on the top of the head droop in different shapes and sizes, and some nipples have water droplets flowing from the tips of the nipples, dripping to the surface of the water from time to time.
This cave was discovered when he and Han Piao came to this body of water to escape the pursuit of the Wang family. However, Qing Ming didn't go in to investigate at that time, so the environment here was still relatively unfamiliar to him.
At first, he was a little surprised when he saw that it was surrounded by water, but then he found that the flat bottom of the water was just right for his foot, and he thought it was good, so he finally chose this cave.
If anyone comes here, they will find that the aura here is very abundant, filling the entire cave, and some even spread under the water, attracting some aquatic monsters in the nearby water.
And the aura here is caused by Qing Ming, and now he has reached the most critical time to break through. I saw that his face showed a little painful look, and the surrounding aura continued to gather above his head, and he had completed the most important "gathering spirit", that is, gathering the aura in the air. Next, he had to open the white remains of his limbs and draw the aura from the outside into his body.
I saw that the aura above his head formed a whirlpool, constantly rotating, and a part of the aura gradually entered his body through the top of his head, and it would take a certain amount of time to absorb the aura from the outside world. During this period, Qing Ming had to turn the aura that was channeled into his own thing, and compress the aura to complete the breakthrough, this process was difficult, and Qing Ming had to endure the oppression of the aura. If you want to become a strong man, this step must be endured, and the road to a strong man is never simple.
In this way, Qing Ming has been in the cave for seven days, and the aura in the cave has become thinner and thinner, and it must have been absorbed into Qing Ming's body. By the time the eighth morning came, the aura in the cave had completely disappeared, and the look of pain on Qing Ming's face had been replaced by a peaceful expression.
After a while, I saw that he opened his eyes that had been closed for seven days, and the moment he opened his eyes, the aura in his body continued to rise, and finally stopped at the cultivation of a middle-level martial artist.
He clenched his fists, only to hear the crisp sound of bones coming from his fists, and felt the abundant energy fluctuations in his body, and there was an indescribable feeling of comfort in his body.
After a few years, he once again felt the joy of the breakthrough.
I saw him wave a palm in the void, and a stream of air came out of the palm of his hand, attacking the water in front of him, only to see a layer of water ripples on the surface of the water, colliding with the stalactites in the cave, and some unstable stalactites broke and fell into the water together.
"This is the cultivation of a middle-level martial artist!"
Qing Ming couldn't help but sigh, the cultivation of the upper-level martial artist and the lower-level martial artist was not at the same level at all, although they were both martial artists, but the two were like worlds apart.
Qing Ming withdrew his palm, a satisfied look on his face.
When he looked at the Qing Ying Sword on the side, he couldn't help but be surprised, only to see that the light of the sword body was brighter than before, although he didn't understand what was going on, but one thing he was sure of was that the Qing Ying Sword was changing. Qing Ming shook the hilt of the sword, and could feel a warm feeling coming from the sword body, and at this time, the Qing Ming sword seemed to be half alive, and it was no longer as lifeless as before.
"Could this be the mystery of the Blue Immortal Sword that the shepherd boy said!"
Qing Ming couldn't help but hear the words that the shepherd boy had said to him again, and the shepherd boy told him to make good use of the Qing Ying Sword.
I saw him take the Qingying Sword back into the scabbard, and the moment the blade was withdrawn from the scabbard, the light emitted by the blade itself was completely hidden under the scabbard. Qing Ming inadvertently looked at the blue-black scabbard, only to find that there were many cracks on the surface of the original scabbard, as if it had been left over from the erosion of the years, and it was just after extremely serious damage and could not be completely destroyed.
The material of the scabbard is quaint and thick, making you feel like it has been around for a long time.
After Qing Ming put away his sword, he was about to go out, but just as he was about to leave, suddenly, he noticed something strange around him. The bodies of water around him were silent, like stagnant water.
He remembered that the cave was integrated with the flowing water outside, and it stands to reason that there should be traces of flow in this water, but now there is none, so it can only be said that there is something strange underground.
Qing Ming looked at the bamboo row next to him, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, he could use it to try it first. I saw Qing Ming gently swing his palm towards the water near the bamboo raft, and the bamboo raft was pushed forward by the current, and quickly galloped through the entrance of the cave.
Just as it was about to leave the cave, a behemoth suddenly burst out of the water and swallowed the bamboo raft into its stomach. I saw that this demon beast had a horn on its head, and it was full of burrs all over its body, which was daunting.
I saw that it had wings on the left and right sides of its back, and its face was bulging and resembling gills.
"It's dangerous!"
Qing Ming couldn't help but feel the difference in his heart, but fortunately, he was prepared in advance and noticed the strangeness of the surrounding environment, so he first experimented with bamboo rafts. Sure enough, as he expected, there was a demon beast ambush in the water, and if he was careless, he might have become the food in the belly of the demon beast like a bamboo row.
The bamboo raft was destroyed, and Qing Ming didn't know how to escape from the cave. The demon beast under the surface of the water had already seen the green underworld on the surface of the water, and it was not that it didn't want to get close to attack the green underworld, but it was afraid of the cyan blade inserted next to him. In particular, the strange light emitted by its mountain made the monsters in the water shy away.
Qing Ming didn't know this, so the moment he put the Qing Ming Sword back into its scabbard, the demon beasts under the water began to move.
The demon beast hidden under the water is called Flying Shark, with a fierce and cruel temperament, and it will not stop until it reaches its goal.
Now Qing Ming had to think about how he could successfully escape from this cave through the encirclement of the flying shark.
In addition to the vast water, there were several rocks protruding from the water like the one he was standing on, and if he wanted to get out, he had to deal with the flying shark that was blocking his way.
Qing Ming looked at the water surface that was calm again, and his mind did not dare to relax at all, this environment is the most dangerous, because you don't know where the flying shark will sneak up on you.
And what Qing Ming can do is to concentrate his mind and deal with the sudden attack of the flying shark at any time.
Just as he had looked around, a wrinkle suddenly crossed the surface of the water three feet away from him.
In the next second, he saw that huge figure leaping towards him!
