Chapter 19: A dilemma
The Tai Shi Realm was the beginning of a qualitative change for Xuan Xiu, and even for Xuan Beasts. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Having the Origin Realm, stepping through the void, and completely getting rid of the shackles of the earth are only superficial characteristics. The real transformation comes from the life grid, and the life of the Xuan Xiu will produce abnormal changes, and there is even a certain chance of achieving some extraordinary physique, and the Xuan Beast will also usher in its greatest opportunity, that is, supernatural powers.
Different from the previous gradual cultivation, the same forging muscles and bones and opening up the muscles and veins is the only way to improve cultivation under the Tai Shi Realm.
Different Xuanxiu codes and different Taoist sects all have unique breakthrough methods, which can be described as dazzling. However, everything is inseparable, and if you want to break through the Taishi Realm, it is essentially to tap the potential of the life, and finally make the lifeline transform.
It is precisely because of this that there is no specific law to be found, which increases the difficulty of breaking through the Taishi.
If it is said that out of 10,000 Xuan cultivators, there will be about 1,000 people who can complete the development of the muscles and veins and successfully promote to Taiyi, then in the end, there may not even be ten people who can successfully break through to the Taishi realm. The Taishi Realm has become an extremely difficult hurdle on the road of Xuanxiu, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a fish leaping over the dragon gate.
Zhanbai's life character is different from the natural formation of ordinary metaphysical cultivation, but is created by the art of painting skin, which can also be said to be artificial. The advantage of this kind of proposition is that the ontology is more familiar with the proposition, and the exploration of its potential will make the thinking clearer and more targeted. There are advantages and disadvantages, and the disadvantage of this kind of personality lies in the difficulty of potential mining.
Generally speaking, if ordinary metaphysical cultivators want to exert a lot of effort to tap the potential of their lifeforms, then Zhanbai needs to put in ten times or even a hundred times the effort and bear greater risks.
Fortunately, Zhan Bai had foreseen all this, and had already made some preparations, that is, to paint the skin again, or rather, to sacrifice the flesh made of the painted skin again.
Thinking of this, the Xuankong Ring on Zhanbai's finger flashed, and in front of him, a sword and a stone suddenly appeared.
The sword body is unsheathed, the whole body is black, and the style is ordinary, but it always exudes an evil aura like hunger and thirst, it is the blood-drinking sword from Feng Kun's secret room.
The stone is strange, it is not gold or jade, it is the jade in the stone that Zhanbai snatched from Ran Qianjun.
Just like the first time you draw the skin, you need a sword to practice again. And now the best quality sword in Zhanbai's hand is undoubtedly this blood-drinking sword.
In the bloody case of Beidaying, this blood-drinking sword showed its horror for the first time in front of Zhanbai. At that time, Zhan Bai was afraid of it, so he just summoned it from the Xuankong Stone, and did not really use it, but Rao was so, without the blessing of the Xuan Force, he easily broke the body protection Xuan Power of the Deputy Commander of the Tai Shi Realm, and at the same time killed him, he even devoured the flesh and blood at all. And with the feeding of this deputy commander, Zhanbai dared to hold it later, although he lost some blood for this, but also unraveled its strange veil, and as a result, Zhanbai was happy and worried.
The joy is that the material of the sword is actually cast in extremely rare black copper.
Compared with all metals, ink copper has a very special ability, that is, its ductility. Generally speaking, it means that the weapons forged by it can change in size at will. Speaking of which, are you a little familiar, such as a certain stick, it can be retracted freely, it can be big to the sky, and it can be a small needle.
Ink copper has such a miraculous effect.
In the memory of Zhanbai's inheritance, when a master of weapons creates an artifact, he will mix some ink and copper powder to achieve the effect of its change. However, it is very rare to use ink copper as the main material to cast weapons, not only because of the violent destruction of heavenly objects, but more importantly, although the ink copper has excellent effect in ductility, it is slightly insufficient in both toughness and conductivity. Of course, the objects of this comparison are some famous genius treasures.
If Zhan Bai looks good, this sword should have three catties and six taels, which is already a huge weight for ink copper. After learning about the material of this sword, Rao is Zhanbai almost jumped to his feet, angrily scolding the person who forged the sword for his stupidity and tyranny.
Of course, although my heart is full of disdain for the swordsmith, if this sword is used to paint the skin for the second time, it can undoubtedly be called the best of the best.
The fly in the ointment, which is also the joy and sorrow, is the blood-sucking characteristic of this sword.
After Zhanbai's research, the reason why this sword is bloodthirsty is not because of the material, and there is no Xuanwen array carved inside, but because it is contaminated with some kind of filth.
Speaking of which, this filth is also very famous, and it is not inferior even to the ink and copper, but it is a pity that it is not beneficial to Zhanbai.
Gluttonous blood, for some reason, this sword seems to have been soaked in gluttonous blood after it was cast.
Gluttony is an ancient beast, and it is rumored to be the son of the ancestral dragon.
The so-called dragon gives birth to nine sons, each of which is different, and one of them is this gluttony.
Gluttonous, sheep-faced human body, tiger teeth and human claws, eyes born under the armpits, cannibalism does not swallow, love flesh and blood, extremely ferocious.
It was the contamination of gluttonous blood that made this sword stained with bloodthirsty properties.
The ink and bronze sword body is undoubtedly excellent for Zhanbai's second painting skin, but if it is contaminated with gluttonous blood, the consequences will be unbearable for Zhanbai, unless he wants to become a vampire who is not a human ghost or a ghost.
Therefore, if you want to paint the skin with this sword, Zhanbai must wash its gluttonous blood.
It's just that this gluttony is an ancient beast, even if it's just blood, how can it be so easy to deal with. If you use the Xuan Power to wash, it will take at least a thousand years to show the Xuan Power that you have now, I am afraid that if you don't eat or drink, you will forget to sleep and eat.
For a thousand years, thinking about it, Zhanbai felt that his scalp was numb, not to mention whether he could live that long, but the boredom in it was enough to make people crazy.
In addition to this method, of course, you can also borrow bassar, and if you use bastilite, in order to save time to the greatest extent, the amount required is also extremely terrifying, unless Zhanbai is willing to use that thing......
In addition to these two methods, it would naturally be best if you could obtain a genius earth treasure with a miraculous purification effect. But the best Taicai Dibao, but also have the effect of purification, not to mention the three continents, even if it is Dingzhou, it is extremely rare, even if it is encountered, its value can be imagined.
It's almost a dead knot that can't be solved.
Zhan Bai sighed and withdrew the Blood-Drinking Sword back to the Xuankong Ring, and at present, he could only take one step at a time.
The gaze was finally fixed on the jade in the stone, which was also full of contradictions for Zhanbai.
The reason why I liked this object at auction at the beginning was more because of the record of the art of painting skin.
The extremely unstable specificity of the jade in the stone is really loved and hated, and the uncontrollability of this will that is difficult to change may create magic, but it is more likely to be a waste product.
The nine-tailed demon queen back then, I don't know where the courage came from, and when she painted the skin for the second time, she brazenly used the jade in the stone, who would have thought that this gamble would really win. Because of the jade in the stone, she has achieved an extremely powerful and rare special physique, and it is precisely with this physique that she has climbed to an extremely high position on the road of Xuan Xiu.
Gambling is human nature, when he saw Shi Zhongyu, he had the experience of the nine-tailed demon queen, so how could Zhanbai not be tempted.
But when he really faced this big gamble, Zhanbai knew how much courage it needed.
If it is used, it may be the same as the Nine-Tailed Demon Queen, and the achievements will be extraordinary, but it is also very likely to return to the ordinary from now on. But if you don't need to...... It's really unwilling.
Faced with the dilemma of the two layers, Zhan Bai can only sigh except sigh.
The Tai Shi Realm is a difficult hurdle for ordinary Xuan Xiu, and for Zhanbai, at present, whether it is difficulty or risk, it is much greater.
"The road is long, and I will go up and down to seek."
The ancient sages are worthy of being called sages, and they have been passed down to future generations, and what they can understand is only the superficial meaning, and how many people can truly appreciate their courage. Then again, if you don't have the courage to be admired, but just boast and empty talk, how can you become a sage?
Zhanbai never thought of becoming a generation of sages, but he had to face such a difficult choice.
