Sleeping for a second increases my blood energy. I become the strongest sky-swallowing snake

“I'm not crazy, I just feel… a bit weak.” Xu Chengxian sighed, “I can't even beat a half-crippled Great Demon, and I fought so miserably.”

“……”

“……”

“Also, I feel like my cultivation is too slow.”

“……”

“……”

“Weak? Too slow?” Lingxiao was speechless, “How many years have you been cultivating?”

At most, it's only been two years!

From an ordinary Watersnake to an eighth-rank demon beast, not to mention fighting a Great Demon.

Weak?

Slow?

“Do you know how long it takes for a beast with ordinary bloodline to cultivate into a demon beast?” Ling Yunzi said, “At least ten years of effort!”

Ten years is also the stage when the beast's blood is vigorous.

Becoming a low-rank demon beast means embarking on the path of cultivation.

Not only must they be able to survive, but they must also live well to have this opportunity. In the Northern Wilderness Mountains, countless wild beasts die every day.

“After becoming a demon beast, they must advance to a high rank within twenty years to have a chance to reach the ninth rank.”

In other words, everything must go smoothly, and it will take twenty to thirty years.

Of course, the bloodline inheritance among the demon race determines the potential and speed of cultivation, and beasts may also encounter various opportunities.

It is not impossible for those who are blessed with luck to encounter adventures.

But it is absolutely impossible for them to advance to the eighth rank in two years.

And according to this ugly snake, it's too slow!

“Old ghost, are you dreaming?”

Lingxiao wanted to slap him to wake him up.

“Saying you're weak, where does that put me and Daojun's little brother!”

“...But Wushan was pinched to death by General Yu.” Xu Chengxian couldn't help but think of General Yu pinching Wushan to death.

The more he thought about it, the stronger he felt General Yu was.

Then, he couldn't help but feel that he was too weak.

He used to be human, and now he is a snake, so he has both.

This stimulation made even the salted fish who was lying flat want to turn over and struggle a bit.

Of course, this kind of struggle may not last long.

Sleeping to increase blood is the way he can confidently persist.

Therefore, Xu Chengxian didn't even think about cultivating. He was thinking about whether there was a quick way to improve his strength, such as swallowing a middle-grade spirit stone.

“Can I really not swallow it?” He said unwillingly, “My combat power is weaker than Wushan. General Yu used one palm to pinch him to death, and three fingers would probably be enough to pinch me to death.”

“I really want my cultivation speed to be faster.”

On the surface, he was talking to Lingxiao and the others, but in reality, he was asking the system.

The system was silent and did not respond.

No response means it's not possible.

Lingxiao and Ling Yunzi were also silent in response to his words.

However, unlike the system, their silence seemed to carry some deafening curses.

Xu Chengxian wisely shielded his inner voice immediately.

As long as this old man can't hear it, you can't scold me!

But he forgot that these two could still speak.

“Old ghost, are you deliberately making me unhappy, aren't you?” Lingxiao frowned with her arms crossed, “Or, let's have a fight?”

Xu Chengxian glanced at her, thinking, you can't beat me anyway.

But his injuries haven't healed yet.

He didn't want to worry Xiaocui, and he didn't want to completely anger the Empress, so he didn't say it out loud.

“Even if Wushan's strength was severely damaged, he was still a genuine Great Demon. His physical strength and combat power are there.” No matter how powerful Lingxiao was, it was difficult to see anything from his snake face. She continued, “You are an eighth-rank demon beast, it's only natural that you are weaker than him, isn't it?”

The path of cultivation becomes more and more difficult.

However, the demon beasts who advance to high ranks will soon understand that the advancement before the eighth rank is far from comparable to what comes after.

And this feeling will always accompany them.

If they have the opportunity to continue walking down this path.

The barriers will always exist, and they will become increasingly difficult to overcome.

The eighth rank to the ninth rank is the first barrier.

The ninth rank to human transformation is the second barrier.

Successfully crossing these two barriers within ten years and transforming into a demon can be considered outstanding among the demon race.

Moreover, there is a 90% chance that they will be turned into ashes under the thunder tribulation.

“Human cultivation is also the same.” Ling Yunzi said.

Generally, ninth-rank cultivators accumulate demon power to transform, which takes more than ten years.

And if one can cultivate from a Great Demon to a Demon General realm within fifty years, they can be called a genius among the demon race.

“The difference in the difficulty of these two can be imagined.”

General Yu cultivated into a Demon General in just sixty years, which shows that his talent is indeed extraordinary.

They have also clearly understood Wushan's details in the past few days.

“The two-headed poisonous python has been cultivating for eighty years, and his cultivation strength is in the late stage of the Great Demon realm.” Lingxiao paused here.

What she wanted to say was that Wushan had good talent. He dared to have the idea of escaping to the Southern Continent, which also showed that he had confidence in his own strength.

What's more, he had to cross the Endless Sea.

Even if he was crippled, Xu Chengxian was able to survive in front of him, and even gained a lot of advantages in the back-and-forth battle.

This is already very strong.

Therefore, this is just a case of there is always someone stronger, so there is no need to be self-pitying here.

However, the words came to her lips, but her eyes narrowed, and she said: “General Yu is probably in the middle to late stages of the Demon General realm now.”

That's why he was able to kill Wushan so easily.

“It seems that he intends to reach the Demon Commander realm within a hundred years.”

It is because he has this goal that he needs the help of the strong to obtain more opportunities.

“Sure enough, he has some luck.”

General Yu doesn't know their details.

What's more, whether they can successfully advance to the ninth rank is unknown to outsiders.

“You won't let General Yu down, will you?” Lingxiao asked with a smile.

“Within three years, I will definitely transform!” Ling Yunzi said.

He firmly believes in this.

“I'm not sure.” Xu Chengxian said.

“Not sure? Then how long will it take you to advance to the ninth rank?”

“Alas, I guess it will take more than nine months.” Xu Chengxian replied dejectedly.

He spent tens of millions of blood to advance his talent, so the pace of advancing to the ninth rank had to be delayed.

With Wushan's body to refine, it will probably take more than nine months.

To sleep until the ninth rank.

Lingxiao: “……”

Ling Yunzi: “……”

The snake and the human turned around and left.

Each returned to their own cave.

More than nine months?

Xu Chengxian can say it accurately, which means that he will definitely be able to reach the ninth rank during this period!

Otherwise, if he didn't have this certainty, when expressing it, even if he didn't deliberately blur it, he would only use terms such as within a year, or within one or two years, just like Lingxiao said when she would break through the Great Demon realm.

Neither of them were sure that they could advance to the ninth rank within nine months.

Since that's the case, why waste words with this guy here?

Superfluous!

Hurry back to cultivation!
