When Shang Xia speculated at the beginning that cultivating on this mountain peak where the four seasons are the same, under ideal conditions, it was very likely that he would increase his cultivation efficiency to four times the original level, and the whole person fell into an unbelievable euphoria.

Although he himself understood that the conditions required for such an overly perfect idea were too many to achieve, it was almost impossible to achieve, even if he could only maintain three times the cultivation speed, it was enough to shock people to the point that it was difficult to sustain themselves.

You must know that generally speaking, a place that can increase the cultivation efficiency by one or two percent is enough for people to break their heads and grab it, just like the location of the Two Realms War Domain.

A place that can increase the cultivation speed of a martial artist by three or four percent is enough to become the foundation of a party's forces, just like the Tongyou Xuan Realm is to the Tongyou Academy.

And if there is a sect that has a secret realm that can increase the cultivation efficiency of a martial artist by more than fifty percent, and can successfully defend it, then this sect must have the foundation of the holy land, and this secret realm will also be called a blessed land.

And if Shang Xia was really able to increase his cultivation efficiency to three times the original here, it would be unimaginable.

However, when Shang Xia officially began to cultivate on this peak, he found that even three times the cultivation efficiency was almost a luxury for him.

With the help of the ready-made four realms of heaven and earth spirits, which symbolize the four seasons, Shang Xia successfully integrated his own qi into this huge mountain with his huge divine consciousness and the things he had comprehended from the "Heaven and Man Induction Chapter", so that he was able to swallow a huge amount of heaven and earth vitality and as much heaven and earth origin as possible in the process of cultivation.

But even so, Shang Xia could barely maintain his cultivation efficiency of nearly twice as much as before.

Although doubling the cultivation speed was still shocking, it was a bit difficult for Shang Xia, who originally had higher expectations, to accept.

There are many reasons for this disparity, but there are two main reasons for this.

One is that the origin of heaven and earth here is still too thin after all.

It must be known that Shang Xia Sisha is actually a process of combining multiple factors, and in this process, his cultivation speed is ultimately restricted by the biggest shortcoming of his many cultivation factors.

The second is because although Shang Xia can envelop the entire mountain with his own qi, the mountain itself is a thousand times that of Shang Xia himself, and he can connect his own qi to the entire mountain, but he can't specifically control the details of the flow direction of each yuanqi.

This made Shang Xia in the process of cultivation, although he was able to form a massive amount of vitality and exhumation wonders, it would also cause great waste, which would ultimately affect the efficiency of his cultivation.

In fact, this problem is not difficult to solve, that is, just like Yu Xifeng at the beginning, a forbidden array was placed around this mountain peak to prevent the leakage of vitality as much as possible.

Although this kind of "waste" cannot be completely prohibited, it can also avoid the loss of cultivation efficiency to the greatest extent.

Just arranging a formation that can envelop the entire mountain, even the simplest formation, requires a lot of material resources, not to mention whether it is worth it or not, in the current situation, Shang Xia has no way to do it.

As for the third point, Shang Xia was completely helpless.

His practice was extremely destructive to the vegetation on the mountain.

Shang Xia also discovered this after he began to cultivate.

Shang Xia's practice of the "Four Seasons and Four Scenes Reincarnation Gong" is extremely subtle and exquisite

It is possible to recreate the four seasons in some spaces.

But this is against the natural rules of heaven and earth, even if Shang Xia can achieve reincarnation and repetition, but it can't really be endless, and in this process, it will still cause the loss of vitality, until it is difficult to recover.

In the long run, Shang Xia's martial arts cultivation may continue to improve, but this mountain peak may be destroyed and become a dead mountain, and it will be difficult to recover for decades or even hundreds of years.

Although it seems to be extremely cost-effective to exchange the vitality of a mountain peak for the rapid progress of one's own cultivation, after all, with Shang Xia's current strength, he can raze the entire mountain peak to the ground with a single palm.

However, in the dark, Shang Xia had a feeling that it was better to do less of this kind of life-destroying thing.

It is precisely because of this that it has always been difficult for Shang Xia to completely let go of his hands and feet, and use this mountain of vegetation to evolve and reincarnate, smelting the spirit of the four seasons.

However, despite such and such constraints, under twice the usual cultivation efficiency, Shang Xia's refining speed for the four spiritual demons symbolizing the four seasons greatly increased, and his own cultivation and strength naturally rose with the tide.

Suddenly, two months passed, and during this time, Shang Xia spent the rest of his time on the top of this high mountain shrouded in thick clouds and mist, except for patrolling around a radius of dozens of miles every three or five days.

However, in these two months, it was not completely uneventful, and during a certain inspection in the first month, Shang Xia encountered the local masters of the Barbarian Yuzhou Land.

The two sides were walking in the opposite direction at that time, and the speed was extremely fast, and when Shang Xia noticed that someone had intruded into the range of his divine sense, he didn't have time to react, and the distance between the two sides had already stretched to within thirty miles, and that person also sensed Shang Xia's existence at this time.

The visitor immediately staggered and slowed down, while Shang Xia also changed direction slightly, always drawing an arc along the territory he was guarding in the process of flying, indicating his sphere of influence to the other party.

The people who came here were always silent and restrained, and always maintained a buffer distance of twenty or thirty miles from Shang Xia, and finally drew a small half circle along the sphere of influence guarded by Shang Xia, and then found their own direction and left.

From beginning to end, there was no communication between the two, and although the divine consciousness perceived and penetrated each other, they always maintained a minimum of restraint.

However, after the other party left, Shang Xia suddenly realized that this person might have come to deliberately test him.

Although this person is the breath of a native martial artist of the Barbarian Yuzhou Land, who can guarantee that he is not a master of the mysterious third-party foreign forces?

If You Yan's judgment at the beginning was correct, then Su Jinyuan must be a person from a third-party foreign force, then how could a cultivator who was only half a step away from stepping into the realm of the Four Heavens Great Perfection be an unknown among them?

Once it is discovered that this person is dead, the other party will inevitably come back to find out, and almost all the fourth-order masters who are active in the Snow Mountain Range at this time are suspicious.

Fortunately, You Yan teamed up with Shang Xia to kill Su Jinyuan on the same day, and the two sides passed through most of the snow-capped mountain ranges, and the place where the incident occurred was extremely far away from here, and Shang Xia's ability to hide his own qi was not bad, and the other party might not be able to detect any clues.

Moreover, all this is just speculation, and the other party may not really be the person of the third-party foreign power.

But if the speculation really came true, wouldn't it mean that You Yan did not pretend to be the dead Su Jinyuan, or that he failed to pretend and was found out

Portion?

Thinking of this possibility, Shang Xia's heart couldn't help but sink again.

However, with Shang Xia's understanding of You Yan, even if the counterfeit fails, as long as he is not deliberately targeted and killed, then he will definitely be able to get out of the way.

The appearance of this person made Shang Xia really nervous for a few days, but after a few days, it was still calm, and Shang Xia also left this person behind and continued to shift his attention to cultivation.

In the second month, Shang Xia once again encountered two fourth-order masters who had crossed the border, one of whom had been frightened by Shang Xia before he could get close, while the other had made a move against Shang Xia in the air, and finally retreated in defeat.

However, Shang Xia realized from that move that the other party should also be a Cangyu martial artist, but he didn't know where the other party came from, and whether he also peeked into Shang Xia's Cangyu martial arts cultivation.

In addition, in the past two months, Shang Xia has once again received two secret talismans from the Tongyou Residence.

For the first time, in addition to telling the increasingly chaotic situation in the Barbarian Yuzhou Land, he also informed the Shang Xia garrison that it was preparing to expand its sphere of influence, expanding the previous radius of nearly 1,200 li to 1,500 li.

In this way, if all goes well, when the last moment comes, Youzhou may capture a large land island with a radius of about 2,000 miles.

After hearing the news, Shang Xia's gaze couldn't help but look through the thick clouds above the mountain peak he was cultivating to look at the area he was guarding.

The extradition of a large land island, without the assistance of a large secret realm fortress such as the blessed land, would inevitably cause a great burden to the fifth-order ancestors, which should also be the fundamental reason why Ji Wenlong and Kou Chongxue only chose to lay a foundation in the leylines within 1,200 miles of the Barbarian Yuzhou Land after careful calculation.

And now that this scope has been suddenly expanded, there are only two possibilities, one is that Tongyou Academy has an additional fifth-order ancestor to help, and the other is that Tongyou Xuan Realm has been promoted to Tongyou Blessed Land in one fell swoop.

The latter is obviously unlikely, and only the former is the root cause.

But at present, the most likely person in Tongyou Academy to be promoted to the Fifth Heaven is Shang Bo, and according to Shang Xia's previous determination, the area he is guarding now is very likely to be Shang Bo's secret cultivation place.

So the question is, how did Kou Chongxue and Ji Wenlong determine the current state of Shangbo and decide to expand the scope of extradition to Lu Dao?

Even if Shang Bo had another way to contact Yun Jing, Kou Chongxue and the others, Shang Xia thought that it would be impossible for him to hide his perception in this area.

And Shang Xia personally brought the "Linxiao Shengang" to Manyuzhou Lu and handed it over to Yunjing, so Shang Bo must be in Manyuzhou Lu.

Then there is only one possibility, the area he guards is not Shang Bo's hidden cultivation place, and whether it is You Yan before or Shang Xia now, they are just a hidden chess piece thrown by Tongyou Academy.

It's a pawn again......

Shang Xia frowned slightly, if his guess came true, then the true location of Grandpa Shang Bo's cultivation should be known by three people in the entire Tongyou Academy: Kou Chongxue, Ji Wenlong, and Yun Jing!

It's still their first few old guys!

After coming to such an inference, Shang Xia had no intention of cultivating, and in his heart, he suddenly turned out a sword technique that he had comprehended after cultivation, and under the huge clouds that shrouded the top of the Four Seasons Peak, it suddenly snowed all over the sky, sprinkled the enemy like a blade.

The twenty-first style of the "Twenty-four Solar Terms Divine Knife" - heavy snow!
