Begin the path of immortality from mortals

"Finally advanced to fusion!"

In the main hall of Xuanji Cave Mansion on the top of Tongtian Peak, Lu Tiandu, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes, feeling the immense power of true energy in his body, and murmured, "I am now exactly one thousand and ten years old!"

"The innate Yin and Yang origin is indeed extraordinary!"

Thinking about how he had successfully advanced without taking a pill to break through the bottleneck during his practice, Lu Tian was slightly moved.

This time, before advancing, he also prepared Nine-Hearted Spiritual Ganoderma and other spiritual objects for breaking through barriers in preparation for any emergency. However, due to the innate yin and yang origins in his body, just like his previous breakthroughs, he did not encounter any bottlenecks, and ultimately did not use these things.

“Perhaps as long as I have enough innate yin and yang essence in my body, I won’t have any bottlenecks when I advance to the Mahayana stage!”

Thinking of the difficulty of advancing to the Mahayana stage, Lu Tian seemed to have a little more anticipation.

After all, after hundreds of years of entering the Guanghan Realm and undergoing a body infusion, he must have reached the peak of his fusion state when he came out.

As for the Guanghan Realm's restriction on entry for cultivators in the late Refinement Void stage and above, he didn't take it to heart as he had the world coordinates.

"Sure enough, after advancing to the fusion stage, the sensitivity to the vitality of heaven and earth is far beyond that of the Void Refining Stage!"

Before a cultivator advances to the stage of Divine Transformation, he can only sense and absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth through his spiritual roots or spiritual body. Only when his soul becomes strong enough in the late Nascent Soul stage can he rely on the senses of his soul to mobilize part of the vital energy of heaven and earth to undergo transformation.

The subsequent cultivation process is actually a process in which the cultivator further senses and integrates with the vital energy of heaven and earth.

At this time, without releasing a trace of divine thought, Lu Tiandu could clearly sense the countless forces of heaven and earth's vital energy floating in the void of the hall. It can be seen that after the cultivator advanced to the stage of fusion and completed the transformation, the degree of integration with the vital energy of heaven and earth has become very deep.

The direct benefit of this situation is that the speed at which the combined cultivators absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth is greatly increased.

Then Lu Tiandu made a hand gesture and uttered a simple spell.

The next moment, there was a loud buzzing sound in the void, and spots of white light flashed wildly, and wind blades about a foot long emerged.

These wind blades were extremely thin and translucent. They were suspended in the air, trembling slightly, and filled the entire secret room.

"After the fusion, I can indeed directly manipulate the energy to transform and attack."

Lu Tiandu looked at the Wind Spirit Blade that he casually used and nodded secretly.

The casting of this small spell did not consume any of the true energy in his body.

Usually, before a cultivator advances to the stage of fusion, he needs to consume his inner essence (spiritual power) when casting spells or performing magical powers.

And only after reaching the state of fusion, one can perform spells and supernatural powers without using the true energy in the body, but simply relying on the external energy of heaven and earth.

"However, this ability to manipulate the energy of heaven and earth is only limited in its use in strengthening treasures and magical powers during a battle!"

Lu Tiandu waved his hand to disperse the wind spirit blades, and this thought flashed through his mind.

Not to mention that many women in the harem had advanced to the fusion stage, there were more than twenty fusion cultivators that he had killed.

I have long been aware of the methods used by the fusion monks.

As both are combined cultivators, one can manipulate the vitality of heaven and earth within the coverage of his spiritual consciousness. In fact, the other party can do the same. In a fight, instead of competing for the control of the vitality of heaven and earth, it is better to directly use the true essence in the body to display supernatural powers and drive treasures to defeat the opponent.

"With my current comprehensive combat power, it may not be difficult to kill a cultivator in the late stage of fusion!"

Lu Tiandu sensed the changes in the true energy and soul in his body and smiled slightly.

At this moment, the true energy in his body has increased by about two or three times than before. Before he advanced, the true energy in his body exceeded that of a cultivator in the early stage of fusion by a lot. A rough calculation shows that although he has just advanced to the stage of fusion, the true energy in his body is not inferior to that of a cultivator in the late stage of fusion.

As for the power of spiritual consciousness, before the advancement, his spiritual power was as much as 35,000 miles, and now it has doubled.

A huge spiritual sense swept out, and the space within a radius of 70,000 miles of Tongtian Peak was all within the coverage of his spiritual sense.

"The spiritual power of a cultivator in the early stage of Mahayana is at least 72,000 miles. Although my current spiritual power is still insufficient, it is not far away!"

Lu Tiandu thought of the power that the "Spear of God-Slaying" soul-attacking technique from the True Immortal Realm could exert at this moment, and chuckled.

Now his magic cultivation has advanced to the stage of fusion, and his body cultivation has reached the seventh stage. Combined with the various true spirit-level magical powers he has cultivated and a large number of valuable treasures, he does not think it is difficult to kill a cultivator in the late stage of fusion.

"Next, I need to enhance the power of the Wind and Thunder Prison Suppression Diagram and the three Xuanzhen Swords, but before that, I need to refine the Creation Divine Furnace first!"

Before, the power of both the Wind and Thunder Prison Map and the three Xuanzhen Swords were no weaker than the top-level spiritual treasures. Now that they have advanced to the stage of fusion, Lu Tiandu naturally has to add a lot of original power to the four treasures to make their power no weaker than the Tongtian spiritual treasure.

As for re-refining, there is no need for that. After all, these four treasures of his have basically been re-refined using the best materials at hand.

Thinking of this, Lu Tiandu flashed out of the Xuanji Cave and headed straight for the Creation Furnace halfway up the mountain.

Half a day later, Lu Tiandu, who had refined the stone furnace again, sat cross-legged inside the stone furnace with a burning gaze, seeming to be somewhat surprised.

“I didn’t expect that after advancing to the fusion stage, I could finally use the power of the stone furnace!”

"The biggest gain I got this time was the ability of 'blindness' that the stone furnace gave me. With this ability, I will no longer be afraid of the ancient or modern masters of the Samsara Palace who are secretly observing me!"

Lu Tiandu recalled the invisible pressure that had been brought to him since the last time a trace of Gu Huojin's divine consciousness appeared, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

It can be said that from this moment on, even if he appeared in the spiritual world, with the mysterious influence of the Stone Furnace of Creation, no one else could use divination to calculate his accurate information.

Furthermore, unless he uses his spiritual sense to search the corresponding area inch by inch, it would be difficult to find his trace.

"Before, I thought that in order to conceal my whereabouts, I would need to wait for the innate Yin and Yang origins to condense into the Law Yuan Ling. I didn't expect that the Creation Divine Furnace would solve this dilemma this time."

Lu Tian was somewhat excited to think that some hidden dangers had been resolved so quickly.

This time, in addition to the ability to conceal the secrets of heaven brought by the Furnace of Creation, the ability to devour and refine external objects with the help of the phantom emitted by the Furnace of Creation also increased its power significantly.

Lu Tian felt that it would only take a moment for him to refine an island of a thousand miles in size.

Another newly added function is related to the furnace shadow in the sea of ​​consciousness.

In addition to the furnace shadow's previous functions of protecting the mind, slowly strengthening the soul, and healing the soul, Lu Tiandu can now use this furnace shadow to refine some beings like demons that can corrode the soul of cultivators. "With this ability, after I advance to the Mahayana stage, I can enter the chaotic void to capture demons as food to strengthen the soul!"

After taking a large amount of the Yunshen Pill that Lu Tiandu had refined before to increase his spiritual consciousness, the Yunshen Pill was no longer effective for him after his spiritual consciousness reached 33,000 miles decades ago. This time when he entered the wilderness, he was also thinking about whether he could find a pill similar to the Yunshen Pill among the alien races.

Unexpectedly, the Creation Furnace gave him a surprise.

"Well, when we leave the Stone Bead World later, if there are demons from outside the realm attacking, it's a good opportunity to try this function!"

He had not been harassed by the extraterritorial demons during his previous advancement, and Lu Tiandu was not sure whether there would be more demons attacking him after he appeared in the spirit world with his combined cultivation.

However, since he was temporarily unable to go to the outer void or use special methods to lure the outer demon to come, he remembered that there was a demon soul in the Qilin True Cave in the Demon Gold Mountain Range that he could refine.

In addition, when the ladies in the harem advance to the stage of fusion, he can guard by their side and devour the souls of these foreign demons to strengthen his spirit.

After a little more thought, Lu Tiandu began to strengthen his natal treasure with the help of the many original things in the furnace of creation.

There are currently more than ten kinds of these original things. In addition to the most common five elements, the others are mainly wind, thunder, ice, evil spirit, blood, space and other origins.

Basically, it is the original power gained after refining the flesh and blood of numerous monsters and ancient beasts over hundreds of years.

More than a month later, after integrating the original powers of the five elements, wind, thunder, space, etc. into the four natal treasures, and after testing the power of the four treasures, Lu Tiandu, with a happy look on his face, took the four treasures into his body to nurture them.

The growth path of this kind of natal treasure is slightly different from the refining method of Tongtian Lingbao. Although the upper limit is very large, it needs to be strengthened gradually, unlike Tongtian Lingbao which can be refined in one step.

Therefore, the foundation of the four treasures has greatly increased. Although their power is still slightly different from the real Tongtian Lingbao, as long as they are nurtured for another hundred years, their power will be no less than Tongtian Lingbao.

Although he has advanced to the fusion stage, Lu Tiandu has not yet decided whether to let other people know about his advancement. Therefore, Lu Tiandu uses the Thousand Illusion Pearls and Kunpeng's true blood refined in his body to conceal his cultivation level to the late stage of refining emptiness.

Three Thousand Illusion Pearls were refined that year. Lu Tian carried two with him and left one for the girls in case of emergency.

This item was not used when I disguised myself as a cultivator of the Tianpeng clan. However, I will need this treasure to conceal my cultivation level and travel among the Feiling clans in the future.

And with Lu Tiandu's current cultivation level of the early stage of fusion and his disguised identity made use of the Thousand Illusion Pearls, it is estimated that only a cultivator with the cultivation level of the early stage of Mahayana or above can see through it.

After dealing with all the matters, Lu Tiandu disappeared from the Stone Bead World in a flash.

Just as Lu Tiandu appeared in the cave, a ball of black gas the size of a head suddenly emerged from the void not far from him, as if sensing something unusual.

The black gas hesitated for a moment, then flew around Lu Tiandu, changing into various ghost faces and making strange humming sounds.

Amidst this strange cry, all kinds of messy thoughts suddenly came to Lu Tiandu's mind. Among these thoughts, Lu Tiandu clearly sensed a strong sense of doubt.

"The soul of the outer demon? I wonder what it tastes like?"

Lu Tiandu naturally understood the doubts of this demon. After all, he had just advanced not long ago, and certain auras around him should be extremely clear to the perception of this kind of demon.

This demon must have been very puzzled that Lu Tiandu seemed to have advanced to the fusion stage without experiencing the invasion of his kind. After all, the spirits of these extraterritorial demons specifically targeted the cultivators who were about to advance to the fusion stage.

Lu Tiandu was too lazy to fight back at this moment. As soon as he thought about it, a gray stone furnace phantom suddenly appeared above his head. The next moment, the stone furnace phantom appeared strangely above the black air and fell down.

Following a scream, the black mist was instantly trapped in the shadow of the stone furnace.

Lu Tiandu's ten fingers flew, quickly casting out a series of mysterious spells to refine the demon's soul.

A quarter of an hour later, the phantom of the stone furnace spun around, wrapped in many twinkling light spots, and flashed into Lu Tiandu's sea of ​​consciousness.

After a moment, Lu Tiandu suddenly opened his eyes, looking delighted as if he had just eaten something delicious.

The next moment, Lu Tiandu moved and returned to the stone bead world again.

"I didn't expect that the soul of an extraterritorial demon would actually increase my spiritual power."

Feeling the vast range of spiritual awareness that reached 72,000 miles at this time, Lu Tian looked very surprised.

Not only did the power of his spiritual consciousness increase by two thousand miles, but the speed of refining these light spots, which he called the "origin of the soul," was also extremely fast. These light spots almost quickly merged with his soul, without the slightest bit of abnormality.

Previously, with his powerful spiritual sense, it took him a whole year to completely refine the chaotic spiritual thoughts left by Hongyun in the Tianpeng relic, and it only increased his spiritual power by two thousand miles. He didn't expect that this time, just a fragment of the demon's soul would allow him to increase his spiritual power by two thousand miles in a short period of time.

“I don’t know how much power this demon soul has. If it has one tenth of the power, wouldn’t it mean that refining a demon from another world can increase the power of the soul by 20,000 miles?”

Lu Tiandu seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up instantly.

The extraterritorial demons are invisible but have substance, and are essentially similar to the souls of cultivators that have become powerful enough to take on a physical form.

The extraterritorial demons that appear in the spiritual world have souls that are as powerful as the souls of Mahayana cultivators.

The inner demon tribulation that a cultivator needs to overcome to advance to the stage of fusion is merely the result of the invasion of the soul fragments of the extraterritorial demon.

The strength of this split soul in terms of soul is roughly between the soul strength of a cultivator in the late stage of refining emptiness and the soul strength of a cultivator in the early stage of fusion. If a cultivator in the late stage of refining emptiness fails to survive the tribulation, basically most of his soul will be devoured by these split souls of the devil.

As for the real extraterritorial demons, they will only appear when the cultivators advance to the Mahayana stage or when they pass the great heavenly tribulation after the Mahayana stage.

Whether it was the information about the extraterritorial demons in the original plot that Lu Tiandu knew or some jade slips about the demons that he had read from Ao Xiao before, he knew all this information clearly.

A complete extraterritorial demon is much more difficult to deal with. Once a Mahayana cultivator is in a weak state after going through the thunder tribulation, or his mind is unstable and he is unable to resist the invasion of the demon with all his strength, the result is naturally the collapse of his physical body, the pollution of his soul, and he becomes a member of the demon.

Therefore, when Mahayana cultivators are going through a great heavenly tribulation, in addition to preparing the necessary treasures and magical powers to defend against thunder tribulations, they will actually also prepare some treasures or magical powers to destroy demons.

The most practical way to resist the extraterritorial demons is naturally to have various thunder-attributed treasures or powerful thunder techniques, such as the Golden Thunder Demon-Destroying Thunder made by mixing the leaves of the golden thunder bamboo with many thunder-attributed materials, or the masculine thunder technique of warding off evil spirits.

After Lu Tiandu witnessed the benefits brought by Shiluoluying's refining of the Heavenly Demon's soul, the demons that these Mahayana cultivators tried to avoid suddenly seemed to become delicacies in his mouth.

“I am actually looking forward to capturing a real extraterritorial demon when I advance to the Mahayana stage!”

Lu Tiandu smiled slightly as this thought flashed through his mind.

As for how much soul essence he could gain by refining a real outer demon, we can only wait until he advances to the Mahayana stage. (End of this chapter)
