Volume 3 Canglan Secret Realm Chapter 252 Convened
When he was practicing, he didn't want to be disturbed, Qi An also laid a small barrier formation outside after arranging the Spirit Gathering Array, and he couldn't see the two figures in the formation from a little distance, so he had to get very close to realize it.
Therefore, except for Meng Yuxi, no one else discovered Qi An's cultivation vision, nor did he provoke the passing monks to stop and watch.
A large amount of pale green wood aura poured into Qi An's body, and he was devoured and refined by the Spirit Devouring Demon Fire, and his Qi refining cultivation was also increasing at an extremely fast speed, heading all the way towards the middle stage of God Refining.
The Soul Devouring Demon Fire has the characteristics of devouring the qi of all spirits, even if Qi An does not cultivate, as long as he is in a place where the aura is rich, his cultivation will grow slowly.
But also because the Soul Devouring Demon Fire is not exposed to the outside world, but is hidden deep in the dantian, it requires him to be guided by his mind, open his acupoints, and unblock the meridians, so as to achieve the fastest cultivation efficiency.
And these only require Qi An to spend a little effort to control his body, and let the devouring nature of the Spirit Devouring Demon Fire be brought into play more thoroughly, which is enough to maintain maximum efficiency, so he can still be distracted when meditating and refining qi.
Although the Soul Devouring Demon Fire can actively and spontaneously swallow the spiritual energy and continue to grow, there seems to be no limit, but Qi An also found that when the Soul Devouring Demon Fire continues to absorb a certain spiritual energy, the growth efficiency is getting lower and lower, similar to the resistance that occurs when a monk swallows pills to cultivate.
In other words, it is not realistic to rely on only one kind of aura to make the Soul Devouring Demon Fire increase and grow, the later it is, the lower the efficiency, and the slower and slower the growth rate, the best way is to find different kinds of aura for it to devour, the more flavors you change, the better the effect.
Therefore, it is not advisable to just stay next to the same spiritual vein and cultivate all the time, and the progress will become slower and slower until it comes to a complete standstill.
And when he first encountered an aura that had never been "tasted", the improvement efficiency of the Spirit Devouring Demon Fire was the fastest and most terrifying, far exceeding the normal cultivation of Qi refining cultivators.
For example, Qi An at this moment is in this state, every moment, the Spirit Devouring Demon Fire is growing, and the Qi refining cultivation is also rising, and in a few days, he will be promoted to the middle stage of God Refining.
This is also because the appetite of the Spirit Devouring Demon Fire is too great, every time it is upgraded, it has to devour a huge amount of heaven and earth aura, if it is changed to a normal Qi refining cultivator, with its efficiency, I am afraid that in less than a day, it will be able to advance from the early stage of God Refining to the middle stage of God Refining.
Qi An, who has already figured out this law, is usually too lazy to meditate and cultivate, but once he encounters enough heterogeneous aura, he will let the Spirit Devouring Demon Fire open up and suck it, which can be said to be not open for half a year, and once it opens, it is enough to eat for many years.
While cultivating and contemplating enlightenment, Qi An also had to repair from time to time, every other hour, he would condense ten drops of essence blood, dripping on the broken seal, the whole process only needed one breath to complete, and it didn't hinder anything.
Seven days and seven nights passed, Qi An's Qi refining cultivation finally broke through from the early stage of God Refining to the middle stage, and his strength improved again, and he should have reached the top level of the peak of God Refining, comparable to other Divine Sword Commanders except for Ram Shou.
It's just that at this time, the growth effect of the wood aura on the island on the spirit devouring demon fire has been greatly reduced, and the amount of devouring has increased, but the amount of transformation has decreased, which is far less than at the beginning.
This is a manifestation of the Soul Eater Demon Fire has become "anorexic".
If Qi An wants to be promoted to the late stage of God Refining, he is afraid that it will be difficult to sit on this island for a year, and the most effective way is to find another kind of heaven and earth aura to supply the Spirit Devouring Demon Fire to devour.
On the eighth day, the general repair with the dual role of calming the body and calming the soul was completed, and all the seven cracks on the surface disappeared, but the missing corner could not be repaired, and the same material needed to be found to reforge and repair.
The casting material of this seal is called the Soul Stone, which is extremely rare, characterized by high density, extremely hard, its own weight is very amazing, and can affect and damage the soul, a small piece is extremely precious, it is a rare item with no price, if you are lucky, you may find a little bit at an auction.
But now, Qi An didn't have any way to make up for the missing corner, but he was already very satisfied, because after repairing the seven rifts, he had successfully recovered into a high-level magic weapon, which was much more powerful than when he used it to deal with the sea shark a few days ago.
Of course, the requirements for the use of high-level have also increased, and the consumption of the two powers of True Yuan and Divine Soul has increased significantly, if it weren't for Qi 'an himself also upgrading one level to reach the middle stage of God Refining, I'm afraid it would still be difficult to drive. Even now, it can only be used two or three times at most, and it is even more difficult than before, so it can only be used as a killer feature.
In the past few days, monks from the outside world have been coming to the island one after another, but none of them can break the seal and go deep into the island, so they can only learn from others to find a place to meditate and practice, and watch the changes.
The two women, Ram Qiyu and Xia Manying, also came a long time ago, and after they saw Qi An, they were both surprised and happy, but they didn't expect Qi An to come faster than them.
Qi An once drove away the sea shark and saved their lives, and led away the two giant pythons alone, so that they could leave safely, even Xia Manying, who was originally hostile to Qi An, also lightened her resentment and was more grateful.
A few days later, Qi Junyi, the eldest disciple of the True Transmission of the Five Holy Sects, initiated a convening order, sending someone to inform and invite all the monks who had come to the island to gather together to discuss countermeasures.
There is no sun and moon in the array, it is difficult to tell the time, Qi An has been on this island for about twelve days, this is of course only his rough estimate, it may not be accurate, but it will definitely not be too far behind.
Before that, he hadn't seen a monk land on the island for several days, and everyone who should have come should have come, and those who shouldn't have come were either dead or stuck somewhere, and there was no need to wait.
After receiving the notice from the Five Holy Sects, all the monks gathered on a certain beach on the island, and the total number of people was less than a hundred, compared to the more than five hundred people when they first entered the secret realm, less than one-sixth.
The monks who can stand here are basically strong, either at the peak of God Refining, or in the late stage of God Refining, and there are a small number of middle stage of God Refining, they are all lucky, as for the early stage of God Refining, there is none.
The number of sand golems is determined by the number of monks, and if there are more people, you will encounter an army of sand golems, and if you are small, you can only meet a sand golem squad.
And the sand golem moves slowly, the threat is not great, even if it is not capable of the enemy, it is not difficult to escape, but the quicksand under the feet is unguardable, and if you don't pay attention, you will stray into the quicksand and be sent into the ancient battlefield.
But the Yellow Sand Formation is also the most confusing, and it is likely that there are still some people who are still circling in the desert today.
And in the ancient battlefield, there were a lot of people who died, except for the Valley of Forgotten Worries, the vast majority of the early stage cultivators of God Refining were almost dead, even if the Divine Sword Guard was immune to the Boiling Blood Demon Sound, but because they were scattered, without the support of the strong, it was difficult to survive in the chaos.
Moreover, not only in the early stage of God Refining, but even in the middle stage of God Refining, a lot of people died, and even a few were hung in the late stage of God Refining, if it weren't for Qi An, they cut down the flag and broke the formation, causing the entire ancient battlefield to collapse, I am afraid that many more people would have died.
And what is more serious is the next vast sea, whether you can land on this island alive is no longer based on strength, but more importantly on luck, if you encounter thousands of swordfish schools, or two powerful black jade demon cockroaches, I am afraid that the vast majority of people will not be able to escape their lives.
For example, the Valley of Forgotten Worries was unlucky, their team originally suffered little damage, but they encountered great trouble in the sea.
What brought disaster to the Valley of Forgotten Worries was an inconspicuous little creature, ordinary, seemingly harmless, but a small jellyfish that were very common in the ocean, and did not alert them.
And this jellyfish's body is completely transparent, and it has a strong ability to be invisible in the seawater, which cannot be detected by the naked eye alone, and can only be captured by the divine sense, and by the time the monks find out that something is wrong, they have been surrounded by a large number of transparent jellyfish.
These jellyfish have deadly poison in their bodies, they can attack with the slender tentacles under their bodies, and the tentacles can also be launched out of the body, which is also invisible, and the speed is fast in the water, and they cannot be prevented, once they are stabbed by the tentacles, the toxin enters the body, and they will soon be poisoned and killed.
The Forgotten Valley team paid a heavy price for their carelessness, suffering heavy casualties under the sudden attack of the jellyfish.
With Yanyun's powerful guardian ability, he couldn't take care of it at all, so he could only watch his fellow disciples being poisoned one after another, and the anger in his heart was beyond measure.
But she didn't have the slightest solution, there were too many of these jellyfish, she couldn't kill them all, and she would only exhaust herself to death in the end.
When they broke through and escaped, they found that except for a few peak God Refining Peaks, the other inner disciples had all died.
Not only the Forgotten Sorrow Valley family, but also many monks were also buried in this vast sea, and they were killed in the late stage of God Refining and even at the peak of God Refining.
For example, the Qinghu Sword Gate, they were attacked by a giant octopus, and although they were finally killed, several elders died, and their vitality was greatly damaged.
Another example is the Five Holy Sects, they also encountered three huge sea crabs, after a hard battle, they killed two in a row, and the last one escaped with serious injuries, but the Five Holy Sects also suffered heavy losses on their side.
As for the monks of other large and small forces, it also depends on their own strength and luck, and they can stand on this island in a good manner, and at least one of the two must account for the same.
In general, in the first few big formations, many weaker God Refining Cultivators were eliminated, and less than one-fifth of them could successfully reach this place, either they had too strong strength, or they had excellent luck to survive three formations in a row, as for the other more than four-fifths, they either died or were trapped, and there was no play.
Among the four major forces, the one with the least number of people is the Valley of Forgetting Worries, with only eight peak god refining remains, the most people are in the Sword King Mansion, and there are more than twenty people, while the Qinghu Sword Sect and the Five Holy Sects have less than twenty people, and as for the remaining small forces and scattered cultivators, all of them add up, and there are only about twenty people.
