At this time, Shen Tong was completely different from when he first arrived in the spirit world more than a year ago, and as time passed, with the improvement of his understanding, he had obviously integrated into such a strange world. For all kinds of bizarre things, they can already be analyzed and judged with the eyes of spiritual monks, and they are no longer as ignorant and confused as before.

With the disappearance of those demon pills, as the mysterious bead returned the pure energy after devouring and refining to his spiritual sea, the qi sea that had already reached a critical point was faintly about to shatter under the continuous collision of spiritual power. This situation made Shen Tong not surprised, obviously because of his previous experience, he already knew that this was a sign of breaking through the barrier of cultivation, and the bottleneck that had been suppressing his cultivation at the ninth layer of the Qi cultivation period seemed to be able to break through at any time. Under such circumstances, Shen Tong did not dare to relax in the slightest, and while speeding up the speed of the exercises, he controlled the spiritual power in his body to rush towards the four walls of the Qi Sea.

Beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead, and his originally white face was also flushed, although he was just sitting there calmly cross-legged, but from his appearance at the moment, it could be seen that his body was not calm, and under the agitation of his spiritual power, the gelatinous spiritual power in the sea of qi was launching wave after wave of attacks.

In the dark cave here, the sporadic light was also extraordinarily active, like a moth to a fire, constantly rushing towards Shen Tong's body, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

This situation also let Youxuan on the side know that he was at a critical moment at the moment, and as soon as the humanoid black shadow moved, its huge divine consciousness scattered out in all directions, shrouding all parts of the entire vein under the surveillance of its divine consciousness, feeling that the situation in the four places was still calm, it was also slightly relieved, and once again set its eyes on Shen Tong's body.

However, at this time, the wind and clouds in Shen Tong's body suddenly changed, and the previous powerful spiritual power had gradually loosened the barrier with the continuous impact, and even faintly, Shen Tong seemed to hear a crisp sound, obviously touching the threshold of imminent success. But at this moment, the spiritual power of the continuous impact was like a veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he was scarred in the continuous attack, no longer as fierce as before, and no longer as strong and hard as he was at the beginning. Seeing that the impact of spiritual power was getting weaker and weaker, Shen Tong couldn't help but be taken aback, he obviously didn't expect that the spiritual power transformed by the several demon pills would be consumed so quickly when it hit the bottleneck, and in his eagerness, he had nothing to replace, in desperation, he took out several low-level spirit stones in his hand, and frantically absorbed the spiritual power in them, wanting to maintain the previous offensive.

It's just that Shen Tong was greatly disappointed that the spiritual power contained in the spirit stone was not weak, but compared to the surging power in the demon pill before, it was too far away, and it was really impossible to break through the bottleneck barrier through this, and even if he wanted to rely on this to maintain such an offensive, he was becoming more and more powerless.

The so-called one blow, then decline, and three exhaustion, is what is said to be the situation.

This promotion opportunity came so suddenly, it was really beyond his expectations, but Shen Tong was also extremely decisive, and in an instant, he took all the demon pills to devour and absorb, in order to break through the ninth layer in one go, who would have thought that at the moment of imminent success, the spiritual power was exhausted, and the seemingly continuous offensive before was suddenly interrupted, so that it fell short and fell on top of the door.

You Xuanzi also felt this situation, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, this opportunity is really rare, but it fell at the last moment, which is really regrettable. It's just that things like hitting the bottleneck, it is really difficult for others to intervene and help, and it is really powerless, so it can only be helpless.

After a while, Shen Tong opened his eyes, slightly felt the spiritual power in his body, he stood up calmly and moved his body, and then he looked at Youxuan, who was still on the side, and couldn't help but bow his hand and said: "There is a senior to protect the Dharma under the Lao, this opportunity came suddenly, there is really no warning, I am afraid that the seniors are worried." ”5599

Youxuan gave him a strange look and said, "Xiaoyou lost this promotion, why don't you see the slightest depression?"

Shen Tong said calmly: "The seniors laughed, although they couldn't cross the bottleneck of the ninth layer this time, but that layer of barriers has been somewhat loosened under the repeated impacts, in this case, just wait for the right time to cross it in one fell swoop, so why worry? ”

Youxuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Xiaoyou has a unique idea, the old man was still thinking about how to comfort you just now, but now it seems that it is really redundant." ”

Shen Tong said with a smile: "The seniors are very kind, and I have received it in my heart, and I just have nothing to do at this time, so I take the opportunity to consolidate my cultivation in order to prepare for the subsequent impact, so as not to waste such a good opportunity again." ”

Youxuan nodded and said: "Even so, the old man is also going to meditate, seeing that Xiaoyou's cultivation is advancing by leaps and bounds, the old man is really greedy, if he doesn't work hard, I'm afraid he will be caught up by Xiaoyou soon." ”

Shen Tong smiled and shook his head, as a monk in the foundation building period of the Xuan Xuan, where could he easily catch up, especially at the moment, the turmoil everywhere made him walk on thin ice, trembling, and cultivating in such a situation, every bit of mana improvement was extremely difficult. If it weren't for the mysterious beads by his side, he would have been unable to hold on for a long time. Thinking about Li Ping's desperate mood when he was trapped in the sixth layer of the Qi cultivation period back then, he can really understand the situation when he would rather go to the human world than stay here anymore, it is really that kind of despair and loneliness, it is too unbearable.

A few days later, under the reminder of Youxuan, Shen Tong woke up from his cultivation and opened his eyes in shock, although the old ghost of Youxuan stayed in the Ruyi bag, he had been monitoring everywhere with his divine sense in case there was any accident. This situation was an instinctive reaction of the monks in the foundation building period, and the feeling of being in control of their surroundings really made them feel at ease. And this time, Youxuan found out about the return of Shen Dao and Zhang Jichang, and informed Shen Tong in advance, so that he could know.

At this time, it had been a few days since they returned, and that Uncle Zhang had left here with them to disperse and explore the surroundings, and with the flying speed of the Imperial Weapon of the Foundation Building Period monks, it was obvious that they should have come back earlier than them, and after such a long delay, they must have encountered some trouble. And the enemy that can make a cultivator like Uncle Zhang feel tricky, naturally there is only the sand beast in the foundation building period, this situation obviously also makes Shen Tongxin nervous, a little uneasy, the mood that has finally calmed down in the past few days is also a little ups and downs with their return, he can't help but think of the sand beast he encountered thousands of miles away, the sand wolf in packs, the sand turtle that Uncle Shen doesn't want to provoke, no matter which one it is, it is obviously not something he can provoke, this feeling of being restrained everywhere is really terrible。

Just when he was speculating about what danger this Uncle Zhang had encountered, a rather polite voice came from the entrance of the cave, "Senior Brother Li, Uncle Shen and Uncle Zhang are back and invite us to discuss matters." ”

Hearing this voice, Shen Tong knew that the person who came was Qi Hua, who had a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and the politeness in his voice was obviously because he had learned that he had escaped his life from the hands of the sand beast in the foundation building period, so he was in awe. In this regard, Shen Tong is a little indifferent, obviously after the second generation, he can also understand and clarify these world things.

"There is a senior brother of Lao Qi, I will go over here. After Shen Tong answered, he also sighed secretly, and then got up and walked outside, no matter what, the sky is falling from a high top, there are two senior uncles here, there should be no need to worry too much! Besides, there are eleven-layer powerhouses like Senior Brother Zhang among the disciples in the Qi cultivation period, no matter how you calculate it, you shouldn't worry too much, so after thinking about it like this, Shen Tong no longer hesitated, and walked out quickly.
