Half a month later. Yuan Ming returned to Mochiyue City, watched for a while, and got the news that the team that captured Pu Zhengqing in Changchun Guan had returned to Dajin, and the Shahao incident was calmed down, so he and Hu Tu and Muyang reopened the Lingxiang shop in Mochiyue City. After he took care of the relevant matters of the store, he returned to the cave house alone. The new store opened, and the business was much colder than in the past, but now Yuan Ming has no shortage of spirit stones and pills, and the store is only opened for a long time, so in terms of operation and publicity, only Hu Tu and the others are allowed to do what they can, and they are not as attentive as in the past. If Sha Hao's inheritance is not unexpected, it should be able to support his cultivation until the late stage of foundation building, and for a period of time in the future, if there is nothing major, he will continue to retreat and cultivate here.

The past experience made him more thirsty for the improvement of strength, whether it is in Southern Xinjiang or in Dajin, only absolute strength can have the absolute right to speak, and the so-called fairness is in the case of equal strength. If he had been trapped in the early stage of foundation building, he might not be low among ordinary monks, but it was not enough to face the strong, and he didn't want to be willing to leave his hometown after killing the Jade Pot Dao Master before. The incense needed in the store will only be sent by thunderstorms after it is ready, and he himself will not leave the cave easily. Yuan Ming pondered about his future plans and took out a black incense stick. A few days ago, he had confirmed that his parents were okay with the possession of black incense, and now he used black incense again, but he wanted to know about the situation of the sunset. Whether it was the news of Sha Hao's death, or the fact that he had accepted the entire inheritance of the Great Elder, Yuan Mingji now liked a lot of words and wanted to confide in Xiying, but it was a pity that the mountains were far away, and his words could not reach Xiying's ears after all.

The black incense on the Heaven Stealing Ding was slowly burning, and in the misty smoke, Yuan Ming's vision gradually changed and switched to Guoguo. Burst! The possession had just been completed, and before Yuan Ming could react, the waves were crashing, and the salty and wet sea water slapped on Guoguo's face, drenching it from head to tail, up and down his body, and not a single hair was dry. Guoguo screamed, as if complaining, but the waves still swept over its body mercilessly, forcing it to keep its eyes open, and could only pitifully claw at the scales of the giant beast beneath it, and stick to its body, which had been reduced by the shrinkage of its hair. Although it closed its eyes, after Yuan Ming settled down, he began to observe the surroundings with the help of the power of divine sense. Not far in front of Guoguo, Sunset stood on the back of the giant beast, covered in pale white light, shielding the water from all the rushing water. Every time a wave crashes on her, Sunset Shadow shouts excitedly, her eyes full of excitement and anticipation. At the feet of her and Guoguo was a giant monster fish several feet long, covered with solid turquoise scales, with a flat back, like a long table, and the shape of a thin fan.

The strange fish leaps and shuttles on the surface of the sea, vigorously rolling up clusters of waves, and its huge body sometimes dives into the water, sometimes jumps out of the sea, but it makes the passengers on its back have a pleasant experience. Yuan Ming saw that there was a blue sea and blue sky all around, and speculated that the sunset shadow had left southern Xinjiang and came to a certain place in the East China Sea, but it was a pity that the Mochizuki Mountain Range was still far away from the East China Sea, and the transmission notes should still not be used. I don't know how long later, the strange fish writhing in the sea seemed to attract the attention of others, and in the sky, a green streamer suddenly flashed, hovering above the head of the strange fish. However, Sunset didn't seem to care about this situation, and directly slapped the trick, causing the strange fish under his feet to stop. "Senior Xiao, the family teacher is already in a hurry, you better hurry up." In front of the strange fish, a female cultivator in a pale green robe stepped on the magic weapon and arched her hand towards the sunset. "Anyway, there's still time, so it's okay for her to wait a little longer." Sunset Shadow waved his hand with an emotionless face.

"Senior Xiao......" The green-shirted nun smiled bitterly, opening her mouth as if she wanted to persuade. Meow" At this time, Guoguo suddenly called out weakly. Sunset Shadow frowned, turned her head to carry the fruit, and said angrily: "Usually I can't walk when I see a fish, but this time I can't stand it when I am so good at lying on the back of the fish?" When you go back, you will not be allowed to eat fish for a month!" Hearing this, Guoguo screamed again, but obviously had no intention of getting out of Sunset's arms. Yuan Ming, who was possessed by it, felt the vague thoughts in its heart, obviously compared to not being able to eat fish, Guoguo still hated water more. Sunset took the fruit in her arms, dispersed the strange fish, and then flew straight into the sky. "Alright, I'm over, you should catch up quickly." After that, she directly flashed her figure, took out a gourd magic weapon and stepped on it, flying towards the east, without the slightest intention of waiting for the green-shirted female cultivator. Seeing this, the green-shirted nun had to hurriedly urge her feet

Descend the magic weapon and follow.

The place where Sunset Shadow was going was not close, and she didn't arrive until Yuan Ming's black incense burned out and the possession ended. However, Yuan Ming was originally to confirm her situation, and now that she is safe and sound, there is nothing to worry about. After Yuan Ming retracted his thoughts, he calmed down, put aside distracting thoughts, and devoted himself to cultivation. Five years have passed in the blink of an eye. In the cave mansion, the spiritual power fluctuations on Yuan Ming's body had already reached the level of the middle stage of foundation building, and there was still some distance from the peak. Relying on the elixir left by Sha Hao, the purple incense he refined, and the spirit gathering array Yuan Ming who was exchanged for spirit stones by chance day and night, he had broken through the mid-stage success more than four years ago, and with the blessing of the continuous supply of elixir, the mana has advanced by leaps and bounds, and is constantly moving towards the peak of the mid-stage foundation building. In addition, under the nourishment of the Divine Soul by stealing the Heavenly Peak Day and accumulating the moon, coupled with the cultivation of the Dark Moon Recipe every night, Yuan Ming's Divine Soul has also been greatly improved, and today, he has finally come to the edge of the fourth layer of the "Dark Moon Technique", and is about to break through.

He didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and deliberately took out another spiritual incense from the storage ring. In the past few years, he had often looked at the Great Elder's cultivation experience and had learned a lot from it. The experience mentioned an elixir that can help break through the bottleneck of soul cultivation, although Yuan Ming is not good at practicing pills, but through analysis and research, he has made a spiritual incense with a similar effect. This incense can stabilize the monk's state of mind, dispel distracting thoughts at the same time, and can also slightly enhance the strength of the divine soul, which can not only assist in the breakthrough of soul cultivation, but also has great benefits for the cultivation of ordinary monks. Yuan Ming named this incense "Soul Nourishing Incense", and it can also be put on the shelves of the spiritual incense shop in the future, but there is no rush now. He lit the soul-nourishing incense, and as the smoke entered his nose, he suddenly felt a cool feeling in his mind, all trivial things were left behind, and the nervous mood facing the breakthrough gradually calmed down. Immediately afterward, Yuan Ming began to silently operate the Dark Moon Technique, and the soul power in the sea of knowledge surged up little by little, and soon washed Yuan Ming's sea of knowledge like a stormy wave, and at the same time, it rushed towards the soul phantom in the center of the sea of knowledge. With the entry of soul power, Yuan Ming's soul was gradually filled, and soon reached the upper limit, but the soul power in the sea of knowledge was still surging, and there was no intention of stopping. Soon, Yuan Ming's divine soul swelled, and his appearance was unnaturally distorted.

Yuan Ming sensed that outside of his divine soul, there seemed to be some kind of indescribable and unclear restraint, hindering its further growth. But this is not a matter of external harm, but a natural constraint of every monk. The Great Elder mentioned this in his experience, and he called it the Divine Soul Willow Lock, which was the key to the true difference between Soul Cultivation and ordinary monks, and from breaking through this Willow Lock, the cultivation of Soul Cultivation would also gradually distance itself from the cultivation of ordinary monks, and finally completely distance itself. In the sea of knowledge, Yuan Ming's soul could no longer see its original appearance, however, the lock that bound him still existed, and no matter how Yuan Ming operated the "Dark Moon Jue", he could not break free. Gradually, the soul power in the sea of consciousness was exhausted, and the surging waves gradually subsided, and a trace of anxiety flashed in Yuan Ming's heart, although it was soon gradually calmed down under the comfort of the soul-nourishing cigarette smoke, it still failed to change the fact that the breakthrough was about to fail.

But at this moment, on Yuan Ming's arm, the seal of stealing the Tianding suddenly lit up, and the familiar heat flow appeared again, surging towards Yuan Ming's sea of knowledge. However, this time, when the warm current arrived in the sea of knowledge, Yuan Ming found that before his Divine Soul Phantom, there was suddenly an additional Heaven Stealing Phantom. Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw the Stealing Heaven Ding Phantom slamming into Yuan Ming's soul. A tingling pain instantly came from Yuan Ming's eyebrows, which made him in a trance, and before he could come back to his senses, he heard a loud noise in the sea, and it was actually the Stealing Heaven Ding Phantom that hit the divine soul again. Under the violent impact, there were more subtle cracks on the Stealing Heaven Ding Phantom and the Divine Soul Phantom. The divine soul was damaged, Yuan Ming was also dizzy because of this, and the "Dark Moon Jue" that was running straight stopped for a moment, but at this moment, the Stealing Heaven Ding Phantom hit the divine soul for the third time, completely knocking both into pieces. Yuan Ming suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and the whole person fainted, although he lost consciousness, he had completed the final step of breaking through the willow lock. The soul power that poured into the Divine Soul before had no external bundle, but it did not collapse because of this, but instead operated independently, sucking in the fragments of the Heaven Stealing Ding and the Divine Soul, and then quickly condensed and deformed, and gradually turned into a human form again. The whole process is as if the clay is crushed and then mixed with mud to shape it, and the newly born Divine Soul Phantom is more condensed than before, although the distance is over

Full molding is still a long way off, but there are already hints of solidification.

In the cave, I don't know how long it took, Yuan Ming sat up with his head in his hands, and as soon as he remembered the experience just now, he immediately looked anxiously at the sea of knowledge, wanting to check the current situation. When he saw a slightly condensed pale yellow phantom in the center of the sea of knowledge, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. He immediately released the soul crow, and sure enough. The number of soul crows he could control was two more, and the range of his long-distance travel had also increased, reaching a distance of forty miles. In addition, his soul crow has also awakened a new ability called "Raven Cry", which can emit a divine soul sound wave to attack enemies.
