Chapter 604: Refining the Flesh
Heavenly Sword Gate, a remote and secluded cave.
Ye Tianzheng sat upright on the futon, thought for a while, and laughed at himself helplessly.
Seven-grade Jindan, the cultivation realm in the early stage of Yudan.
Even if he came out of that secret realm safely, with his own qualifications and cultivation, he still felt overstretched, and the various encounters in the secret realm made him make many dangerous moves, and it was no wonder that his status in the Heavenly Sword Sect was not as good as that of some ordinary registered disciples.
The Heavenly Sword Sect didn't like to see him very much, and Ye Tian didn't care very much. When I first came to the Heavenly Sword Gate, I obtained the Sword Eye Vision, not to mention for the time being, and then the trip to the secret realm was very fruitful, and the benefits of this implementation were the most important thing.
What's more, although the matter of the secret realm has been understood, Jiang Yukun's death is still between the Heavenly Sword Gate and the Three-Ring Golden Sword Gate, especially the Heavenly Sword Gate has also lost more than 20 Yuan Infant Stage cultivators, and all kinds of turmoil in the sect have not affected Ye Tian, which is already the result of Ning Suxin and her uncle's great efforts.
Take another 10,000 steps back, his seven-grade Jindan qualifications, only the early stage of cultivation, if it weren't for many adventures, this cultivation path would have reached the end of the road long ago, how could it be possible to enter this triple heaven.
No one bothered him, but it was a good thing, and it would help Ye Tian to concentrate on retreat in this cave mansion and practice swords.
Retracting his thoughts, Ye Tian sat cross-legged and began to check his body.
In the final analysis, the aura of this triple heaven is much more abundant than that of the double heaven, even if it is not in the secret realm, concentrating on cultivation is half the result compared to doing things in the double heaven.
Diving into his mind, Ye Tian's divine sense looked inward and examined himself, first exploring the changes in every inch of his body, and then seeking others. After the battle between Tianmen and the Nangong family, especially the battle with Jiang Yukun in the final secret realm, Ye Tian found that his physical body had changed a lot compared to before.
This kind of change is mostly reflected in the meridians of his physical body, compared to before, Ye Tian found that his meridians have become much more open, and the power of the stars in the meridians has formed a silver river, surging roaring and panting through the meridians.
With a slight movement of his divine sense, Ye Tian could immediately clearly feel the power of the stars contained in the silver river in the meridians, which was many times stronger than the power of the stars that had been atomized in the meridians before.
He even had the feeling that just a drop of liquid in the silver river was enough to burst out with great power. Moreover, he found that he could already control the star power of the Silver River, control it for his own use, control it to break out of the meridians, and control it against the enemy.
These changes are the first of their kind.
At that moment, Ye Tian did not hesitate, and immediately controlled the silver river to separate a drop of liquid, which came directly to his fingertips through the meridians. However, when this drop of silver liquid appeared on his fingertips, Ye Tian found through his divine sense that half of the silver river in the meridians had been lost.
Originally, I thought that the silver river contained a large amount of star power, but I never thought that just condensing a drop of star power would consume most of the star power in the meridians.
Ye Tian looked at the drop of silver liquid suspended in his fingertips, and sighed slightly, it seems that the use of the power of the stars is not the way he uses it now, otherwise, the power of the stars will soon be exhausted. Ye Tian controlled this drop of silver liquid through his divine sense, swayed left and right with his mind, jumped up, and nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, he discovered that after entering the Heavenly Gate, it was very likely that the "Nine Turning Star Innate Formula" had undergone some qualitative changes.
It's just that the situation was too complicated at that time, and Ye Tian didn't have a chance to notice the changes in himself at all, so the specific changes in the "Nine Turning Star Innate Formula" and what impact it had on him, Ye Tian still didn't know.
"Go!"
Ye Tian stared at this drop of silver liquid for a moment, and suddenly flicked his fingers, only to see this drop of silver liquid instantly rush towards the stone wall not far away.
With a loud "boom", the stone wall of the cave blessed by the runes suddenly shook violently, and at the same time, Ye Tian, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, could vaguely feel the vibration coming from under his feet, and even he had the illusion that the whole mountain was shaking.
Ye Tian immediately stood up and walked to the stone wall where the silver liquid hit, only to find that there was a hole the size of a finger on the stone wall, and the silver liquid that had just popped out had penetrated deep into the stone wall at this moment, more than a foot deep.
The whole mountain shook violently suddenly, and many Heavenly Sword Sect disciples flew out of the retreat cave, their faces disgraced, their faces full of annoyance, and they complained about who it was.
For a while, the Heavenly Sword Gate complained.
In addition, there are many caves, and there is even cyan smoke coming out, it seems that in these caves, some people are alchemizing, but due to the influence of the mountain vibration, they are not allowed to make mistakes on the way to alchemy, so that the materials being refined in the Dan furnace are also destroyed.
In a thousand years, there had never been such a big movement in the Heavenly Sword Gate.
Especially in the mountains used in the cave mansion built by the Heavenly Sword Sect for disciples, they were all laid out by the patriarch of the Kai Sect himself, and even if the monks of the Transformation Stage struck with all their strength, they might not be able to shake the stone walls on the mountain.
What's more, it is now affecting the entire mountain.
This kind of thing happened in the cave where the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect cultivated, and someone had already reported it to the elder who managed the matter. It's just that because the entire mountain disappeared after just shaking, even if the elders of the sect came to investigate, they couldn't find out the specific reason.
This made those Heavenly Sword Sect disciples who had been complaining before, look at each other one by one, and they had no way to vent their anger. In the end, everyone could only return to their respective caves and continue to cultivate.
At this time, Ye Tian was beside the stone wall of the cave, with a sad face.
Not for anything else, it was precisely because the drop of silver liquid suddenly entered the stone wall, and the stone wall of the cave mansion had runes drawn by the patriarch of the Kai School himself, at that time, after the drop of silver liquid entered the stone wall, a bright light immediately flashed on the stone wall, and a defensive barrier had instantly protected the stone wall in the cave.
At the same time, the stone wall was pierced by the silver liquid, forming a hole the size of a finger, which was gradually recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in a short time, the stone wall of the cave had recovered as before, leaving Ye Tian alone standing beside the stone wall and pacing back and forth anxiously.
How can this be?
Ye Tian looked at the restored stone wall, through induction, the drop of silver liquid that had been submerged in the stone wall had been cut off, obviously, the drop of silver liquid that was incomparably precious and condensed with the power of countless stars could not be retrieved.
Although he was a little regretful, Ye Tian also understood that the power of the stars was not used in this way.
Looking at the river where the power of the stars that had shrunk in half in the meridians gathered, Ye Tian sighed bitterly, wanting to condense the power of the consumed stars again, he didn't know how long it would take.
Figuring out the changes in the power of the stars in the meridians, Ye Tian finally knew that his body had indeed changed after entering the Heavenly Gate, and it was very likely that his physical strength had also changed in the Heavenly Gate.
In order to confirm his guess, Ye Tian took out a high-grade magic weapon, attached spiritual power to it, and directly slashed his arm, but found that the skin that could have been injured with a high-grade magic weapon no longer had any traces.
Obviously, his guess was right, after passing through the Heavenly Gate, both his skin and his meridians have undergone tremendous changes.
As for the specific reason for the occurrence, Ye Tian is not easy to guess.
However, there is one thing, Ye Tian can already be sure that he has completed the second level of cultivation of the Nine Turning Star Innate Technique, and has completed the five transformations of refining skin and quenching bones, and his physical body will be strengthened, beyond the defense level of a high-grade magic weapon.
For this unexpected joy, Ye Tian was also very satisfied, and at the same time, he also felt strong about the "Nine Turning Star Innate Formula" left by the mysterious person, which was only to complete the second layer of skin refining and bone quenching, if it was even the third level of the five viscera stars, wouldn't the physical body become more powerful?
Ye Tian couldn't imagine that when he really completed the Five Organs Naxing, what level of strength would he go, and would the liquid produced by the silver river condensed in the meridians contain even more terrifying power?
Thinking of this, Ye Tian's gaze unconsciously looked at the previous stone wall.
He knew very well that in addition to the seven-grade golden pill that he put on the bright side and made everyone look down on him, thanks to the powerful body of the "Nine Turning Star Innate Technique", he was now barely able to be regarded as a high-level power cultivator. In the Dan period, don't say that at the same stage, even if you are a monk at the peak of Dan, I am afraid that you will not be able to withstand the power of your own punch.
Ye Tian is so confident at the moment, because he is already well aware of the changes in his body.
In addition to the five transformations of the second refinement of the "Nine Turning Guiding Star Innate Formula" were completed after entering the Heavenly Gate, at this time, Ye Tian also found that the exercises behind the "Nine Turning Guiding Star Innate Formula" that were banned by the mysterious person in the sea of knowledge had been lifted.
Among them, regarding the third-level Five Visceral Naxing, it is already possible to continue cultivating, and in this regard, the mysterious person specially pointed out the pros and cons of the Five Visceral Naxing.
As the name suggests, the five internal organs and the stars are to incorporate the power of the stars produced by the stars in the sky into the five internal organs, that is, the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.
The five internal organs accept the stars, and they accept the power of the stars of the five stars.
Because there are many stars in the sky, and the power of the stars contained in each star is different, the first refining vein that Ye Tian cultivated before, and the second refining skin and quenching bones, the power of the stars included in it comes from the power of the stars formed by the stars of the heavens.
At that time, Ye Tian only needed to use the first refinement vein of the "Nine Turns to Introduce Star Innate Technique" and began to continuously expand his meridians, so that the power of the condensed stars in the meridians could reach the point where the stream flowed.
At this point, Ye Tian had already exceeded expectations, and the power of the stars in the meridians had reached the realm of the river flowing.
As for the second level of skin refining and bone quenching, as well as the five transformations of the physical body, all of them are strengthened through the various energies that are filled with heaven and earth, among them, the first to strengthen the physical body is the power of the heavens and stars.
It's just that after Ye Tian cultivated the "Nine Turns to Introduce the Star Innate Technique", the meridians, skin, muscles, and even bones have all been impacted by the power of the stars, so that if you want to increase the strength of your physical body, you can only rely on more violent power, so the mysterious people will leave five transformation methods, the first is to use medicinal baths to strengthen yourself and consolidate your physical foundation, so that you can prepare for the next few violent energy to wash your physical body.
As for the power of the stars absorbed from the heavens and stars, it has a very strong energy, but because of the exercise of "Nine Turns to Introduce the Stars Innate Technique", the power of the stars has become gentler, so that it cannot achieve a real effect on its own refining.
Regarding the changes in the first and second layers of the "Nine Turns of the Star Innate Formula", Ye Tian also found relevant records on the fourth level of exercises left by the mysterious person, among them, the wider the expansion of the first meridians, the more convenient it is for the later use of the power of the stars, and the stronger the power is exerted.
And the five transformations of the second refinement of the skin and quenching the bones are precisely the basic cultivation done for the fourth level of exercises, and only by strengthening the physical body to a certain point can the power of the fourth star fall of the "Nine Turns Guiding Star Innate Formula" be truly brought into play.
Starfall, to be precise, is an attack method of the "Nine Turns Guiding Star Innate Technique".
Ye Tian had been cultivating for so long, and he finally understood that the Nine Turning Star Innate Technique was not just a simple technique of cultivating and refining muscles, bones, skin, and flesh, without any way to attack.
It's just that if you want to control the power of the stars to burst out and attack, you need a strong physique, at least the first refining vein reaches the stream surge, and the second refining skin and quenching bones need to go through five transformations.
Now, Ye Tian had met all the conditions, and even the first refinement vein had surpassed the requirements left by the mysterious man.
Naturally, the mental method above the fourth level of the "Nine Turns of Guiding Stars Innate Formula" was finally lifted in the mind, and the fourth level was the attack method Starfall, which controlled the power of the stars to flow in the meridians in a specific way, gathered in the body, and burst into a blow.
It is recorded in the "Nine Turns to Introduce Stars Innate Formula" that Starfall has been practiced to the fullest, which is enough to tear apart the space and let himself wander between the nine heavens.
Ye Tian didn't know how much he controlled Starfall, and the fourth level also recorded that the power of Starfall had little to do with the mental method, what really affected the power of Starfall was the strength of the physical body and the amount of star power contained in the meridians.
In short, Ye Tian also understood that if Starfall wanted to burst out with powerful power, the first and second layers of the Nine Turning Star Innate Technique could not be completely put down, and when he encountered an opportunity that could expand the meridians and strengthen the physical body, he still had to grasp it in his hands.
Starfall, this is the first attack method of the power of the stars that Ye Tian has mastered.
According to the records in the exercises, Ye Tian controlled the power of the stars to operate in a certain way, converging on his fist, and as a surging power of the stars poured into his right hand, this surging power almost tore Ye Tian's palm.
The surging power of the stars, very domineering, constantly filled Ye Tian's right hand.
A momentum suddenly poured out from Ye Tian's body, and at this time, Ye Tian had already calmed down, clenched his right fist, and punched down at the stone wall in front of him. The power of the silver stars was like a falling meteor in the sky, instantly falling on the stone wall in front of them.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the whole mountain shook again, and this time, even more violently than before!
Not to mention anything else, just in Ye Tian's cave, the stone tables, stone chairs, and stone beds placed in the cave also moved their positions under the violent shaking. At the same time, because of Ye Tian's blow, a hole the size of a watermelon appeared, forcing all the runes on the stone wall to light up.
At the same time, those disciples who had just returned to the cave to cultivate for a short time had to leave the cave again and rushed out in an instant.
"Who dares to go wild here!"
"The old man finally refined a furnace of condensing pills, and now it's all in vain! Damn, no matter who it is, the old man must sue the elders, and let the initiator give the old man an explanation!"
"That's right, sue the law enforcement elders!"
Many disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect could no longer tolerate the lawlessness of people here, and many of them had already directly volleyed into the air and flew towards the main hall of the sect, obviously clamoring to sue the law enforcement elders before, not just talking.
As for Ye Tian, the initiator of the attack, because he had arranged many defensive formations near the entrance of the cave, he didn't know anything about what was happening outside the entrance of the cave, so he continued to cultivate, and he was not distracted at all.
This starfall's attack was able to create a hole the size of a watermelon on the stone wall of this cave, and its power can be seen.
Even if it is in the secret realm, the mysterious short old man is afraid that he does not have such destructive power.
Checking the meridians, Ye Tian realized once again that the power of the stars he had lost was almost only the same as that drop of silver liquid, which showed that this starfall was much stronger than the silver liquid that the power of the stars had gathered.
Frowning slightly, Ye Tian only felt that this Starfall's attack seemed to be too domineering.
Although its power exceeded his own estimates, the damage to himself was also very serious, just the previous punch alone had already caused the meridians of his entire arm to be infinitely expanded and even broken by the power of this starfall.
However, Ye Tian also knew very well that Starfall was extremely powerful, and he could not control the power of Starfall, on the surface, although the damage caused by Starfall was very strong, the damage caused to his arm and meridians could not be recovered overnight.
At the moment, you still need to be familiar with the operation of Starfall, control the transmission of the power of Starfall, and maybe next time, when you use Starfall, you will not hurt your meridians.
Ye Tian looked at the mountain wall that was still slowly healing and shook his head slightly.
I'm still too anxious.
"Nine Turns to Introduce the Star Innate Formula" is a supreme exercise left by a mysterious person, and the first and second records are all methods of forging the body. It wasn't until he completed the first stream surge and the second five transformations that the mysterious man unsealed the fourth gravity method of Starfall in the "Nine Turns of the Star Innate Formula" in the Sea of Knowledge, which already hinted to himself that Starfall should not be tried indiscriminately.
Fortunately, his first refinement cultivation exceeded his expectations, and although Starfall had some damage to himself after using it, it was still acceptable.
After about a few breaths, Ye Tianfang noticed that the holes on the stone wall had returned to their original state, and the runes arranged on the stone wall were all lit up, and the light of the runes became very strong for a while.
Ye Tianshi discovered that the stone wall on the cave was being strengthened, and the runes on the stone wall flickered three times in a row before extinguishing. At this time, Ye Tian noticed that the runes on the stone wall had become much darker, and many places had become blurred as if they had experienced the differentiation of thousands of years of wind and sand.
Ye Tian didn't know what the situation was with this change, but he didn't care about it.
The cave is originally a place to live and cultivate, even if the walls in the cave are hard, what is the use, it is not a place to resist the enemy, just a place to meditate and cultivate.
It's just that Ye Tian didn't know that outside the cave mansion, on the entire mountain, there was an old man with a gloomy face, standing in the air.
In his hands, there are nearly 100 high-grade spirit stones, which are constantly being thrown to the top of the entire mountain, and every time a high-grade spirit stone is thrown, the entire sect mountain has a flickering light, and the mountain itself, which was damaged by turbulence before, gradually returned to its original state after this flickering light.
"The disciples in the Heavenly Sword Sect are really getting more and more ignorant of the rules!"
"Don't let me find out which guy is ignoring the mountain protection array and cultivating indiscriminately, otherwise the old man will definitely pull you out in front of all the elders and compensate for all the spirit stones consumed to repair the mountain!"
"One hundred high-grade spirit stones! It's just that these two shakes will cost and waste a full hundred high-grade spirit stones, do you really think that today's Heavenly Sword Gate is still the same Heavenly Sword Gate as it used to be! These spirit stones are enough for the old man to maintain the entire mountain rune for several years!"
The old man threw out the last high-grade spirit stone, and his face was extremely gloomy. So much so that when he chattered and complained, those disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect who were also full of resentment themselves, on the contrary, no one dared to say more, for fear of touching the old man's moldy head and filling in the trouble.
In the cave, Ye Tian still didn't know everything about the outer gate, all because he studied the power of the stars condensed in the "Nine Turns Guiding Star Innate Technique" and the power of the fourth starfall.
At this moment, Ye Tian was still obsessed with studying all the mental methods of the fourth star fall of the "Nine Turns Guiding Star Innate Formula", and in the end, he even found that there was a special annotation left by a mysterious person.
Starfall, don't break out casually, this move is huge, it is likely to hurt the enemy by one thousand and lose eight hundred.
In addition, Ye Tian also discovered that the mysterious person had also lifted the ban on the three heart methods of the "Nine Turning Star Innate Formula", the fourth star fall, the fifth infusion body, and the sixth star light protection body.
Among them, the fourth star meteor Ye Tian already knew the domineering nature of its attack, and the fifth layer of the body, Ye Tian knew through the records in it, was to attract the power of the stars of the heavens and stars into the body.
Of course, although the fifth and first refining veins sound like absorbing the power of the stars, it is much more difficult to infuse the body.
Refining the veins is just absorbing the power of the stars to exercise the meridians, while the body is filled with a large amount of the power of the stars on the basis of the first refining veins and the second refining of the skin and bones, forcibly integrating a large amount of the power of the stars into the bones and muscles of the whole body, and strengthening itself again.
The infusion is very difficult, it is not just absorbing the power of the stars in the sky.
Simply absorbing the power of the stars in the sky is almost enough to maintain the flow of the river in the refining vein, and if you want to fill the body, you must lay out a large array that pulls the power of the stars, among them, the most important thing is that in addition to the large array, the power of the stars requires a strong divine sense.
At this point, Ye Tian can't reach that point yet, so if he wants to pull the power of the stars to infuse the body, he can't achieve it in the short term.
The fifth layer of the body cannot be cultivated, Ye Tian can also cultivate the third level of the five viscera stars, as long as you choose the five stars, and lock the stars through the "Star Source Returns to the Array" recorded in the exercises, you can separately pull the star power of one star into the body and strengthen the five organs.
As for the sixth layer of starlight protection, the mysterious man only left a brief introduction, the starlight protection body is used to shuttle through the various heavy heavens to resist the spatial cracks in the spatial turbulence, as long as there is enough star power, the defense is far stronger, far beyond imagination.
It's just that the mysterious man deliberately emphasized that if you can't cultivate to the fifth level of the body, don't try the starlight body protection easily, otherwise it will be easy to exhaust the power of the stars in your body, and eventually lead to your physical exhaustion.
If you rashly use the Starlight Protector against the enemy, you will likely find yourself in a place of no return.
Ye Tian would not question the words left by the mysterious man, he was eager to know all the exercises when he first obtained the "Nine Turns Guiding Star Innate Technique", at that time, if it wasn't for Ye Tian's sudden vigilance, it was very likely that his divine consciousness and consciousness would be destroyed by the ban laid by the mysterious person.
Therefore, the mysterious man said that he couldn't easily try the starlight body protector, and Ye Tian didn't plan to try it, but he just memorized the fourth, fifth, and sixth exercises of the "Nine Turns to Introduce Star Innate Technique" by heart, and figured it out many times to completely grasp the location.
Ye Tian was not in a hurry to cultivate the third level of the "Nine Turns to Attract Stars Innate Technique", because there was no sky in the cave, and it was impossible to determine the stars in the sky.
Moreover, he knew very well that the cultivation of the "Nine Turns of the Innate Technique of Guiding Stars" was likely to cause visions of heaven and earth, in this case, it was best to choose an open high mountain, which could be one step closer to the stars in the sky, in this way, not only could the "Star Source Return to a Formation" be better arranged, but also the vision of heaven and earth produced by the cultivation of the "Nine Turns of Guiding Stars Innate Technique" could also be better explained.
Ye Tian's eyes were cold, and he already had a plan in his heart.
