Chapter 405: Mid-stage Spiritualization
Tianyuan City, when Ye Changsheng came back from the Tianling Realm, he immediately returned to his cave and began to practice in seclusion.
He has no shortage of elixirs to improve his magic power, and elixirs to break through the bottleneck are also ready. Now he just needs to concentrate on practicing hard.
As for spirit stones, he had spent 70 million on participating in the previous auction, and it cost him 10 million to cultivate 100 mature gold-eating bugs. Of the 300 million spirit stones he brought from the human world, only 220 million were left.
But Ye Changsheng did not live off his savings over the years. He earned 50 million spirit stones by selling elixirs, spiritual medicines, materials and other things at the Savage Auction.
Adding the 20 million spirit stones he had obtained from Zhao Wugui and the others before, he now has 290 million spirit stones in his hands.
In this way, there is no shortage of resources needed for cultivation.
There is still plenty of time, and Ye Changsheng plans to cultivate directly to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation before coming out.
But before that, he did another thing.
That is to fuse the several types of flames he had refined before.
Ye Changsheng first used the Taiyin True Fire to devour the Qianlan Ice Flame, and then used the Sun True Fire to devour the Star Spirit Purple Flame.
Afterwards, let these two kinds of fairy fire devour each other, and finally, merge the flame of the original body obtained by killing the spirit race's Devouring Flame into it.
In this way, all the flames in his body merged together.
"I hope I can cultivate the Essence Fire like Han Li in the original time and space!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself as he watched the flames merge into one ball.
The evolution of this fusion flame will take some time. Once it succeeds, this flame will probably become a being similar to a spirit beast.
In the past, the flame on Ye Changsheng's body was a kind of magical power of his, but after refining the Taiyin True Fire which contained a trace of spiritual intelligence, the evolution of this flame embarked on another path.
There is no doubt that the newly cultivated flame possesses intelligence, and it may even be able to transform after it grows to its extreme in the future.
However, compared to a real spirit beast, this flame is easier for Ye Changsheng to control, and usually remains in his body.
After putting the fire aside, Ye Changsheng went into seclusion to practice.
In this way, time passed day by day, spring came and went, but this cave had not changed at all.
During this period, countless Divine Transformation cultivators in Tianyuan City who had heard of his great name and wanted to visit him and make friends with him ran outside the cave to see him, but did not see any trace of him.
Time flies. There has been no change in Ye Changsheng's cave on Cuilong Mountain. However, in Tianyuan City, the old people are replaced by the new ones.
Tianyuan City controls thousands of Feiling Platforms that are connected to the lower realms. On average, a cultivator in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm ascends there every three to five years.
The arrival of these newcomers not only supplemented the strength of Tianyuan City, but also brought many new legends.
Almost every ascended monk can gain a certain reputation in Tianyuan City.
However, the infusion of fresh blood did not increase the overall number of ascended monks in Tianyuan City much.
Because, while new people are coming in, others are also falling.
Over the years, some of Ye Changsheng's old friends in the human world have been in constant danger and almost died.
Fortunately, almost every one of these divine cultivators in the human world has one or two spiritual treasures, which makes their combat effectiveness much stronger than that of ordinary people.
It is precisely because of the existence of these spiritual treasures that they have been able to survive crisis after crisis and still survive to this day.
Time passed day by day. More than eighty years later, the stone chamber where Ye Changsheng had been sitting for a long time was finally opened. He walked out of it and went to another stone chamber in the cave.
When he opened the door of the stone chamber, there was a sudden "whoosh" from inside, and a ball of silver light rushed towards him.
The ball of silver light was burning fiercely, and it was actually a ball of flame, but the strange thing was that the flame just floated in the air without emitting any temperature.
Faced with the sudden fire, Ye Changsheng was not surprised or panicked at all. Instead, a smile appeared on his face.
With a wave of his hand, the ball of fire rushed to his side, and transformed into a silver firebird, and then a silver pony, flying beside him, full of spirituality.
He stretched out his hand, and the flame fell into his hand. After playing for a while, Ye Changsheng waved his hand, and the flame disappeared into his body.
The Fire of Essence was really cultivated by him.
The aura on Ye Changsheng's body had also reached the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and his strength had increased significantly.
"That Fire Dragon Pill is really useful. I have to pay more attention to the Savage Auction to see if I can find something that can help me break through the bottleneck in the late stage!"
"As for the stuff that can increase mana, it can just be used to prepare the True Toad Liquid. Although this stuff is for cultivators in the late stage of Spiritualization to increase mana, it is just right for me to use in the middle stage!"
"But the hundred years of peaceful training is about to end, and then I have to start carrying out my mission again!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
He walked towards the entrance of the cave, and saw a layer of spiritual light. In it, more than a dozen sound transmission notes of different colors were flying around like headless flies.
Ye Changsheng stretched out his hand, grabbed all the sound transmission notes, and checked them one by one.
Most of these messages came from the incarnation monks on Cuilong Mountain. They were basically polite words, and they wanted to get to know him.
Throwing these sound transmission notes aside, Ye Changsheng looked at the other ones.
There were letters from Xiang Zhili, Hu Laomo and others, inviting him to attend several gatherings.
However, when these sound transmission notes were sent, Ye Changsheng had been in seclusion and did not catch up.
As for his men, Xu Qianyu sent him a note to inform him that the lost manpower in his team had been replenished.
"There is still no movement at the space node monitored by the Xu family? Does it mean that in the past hundred years, no one in the human world has broken through to the God Transformation stage?" Ye Changsheng thought to himself as he looked at the message sent by Xu Qianyu.
Before coming to Tianyuan City, he asked the head of the Xu family to help pay attention to the people who ascended from that space node.
If his women ascended to heaven, Ye Changsheng would definitely be there to receive them.
But now, a hundred years have passed, and there is still no movement over there.
“Before I came up, there was an old man named Bai from the Taiyi Sect in the human world. He is in seclusion, and no one knows whether he is dead or alive. Even if he comes out alive, he is the only one who has achieved the state of incarnation in the human world!”
"He definitely can't come up alone. I originally expected that Han Li would come up with him after he broke through to the God Transformation stage. It seems that Han Li hasn't broken through yet?" Ye Changsheng thought.
Before he came up, he specifically told the people around him not to team up with Han Li to ascend.
He didn't want Han Li's misfortune to affect the people around him.
Moreover, judging from the timing of their breakthroughs, most of the people around him broke through later than Han Li.
Therefore, before Han Li came up, these people probably wouldn't come up.
Ye Changsheng estimated that the fastest woman among the women around him would probably need at least another 100 to 200 years to break through.
The first one to break through may be Ling Yuling or Bai Yaoyi. After all, their qualifications are not bad and they entered the late stage of great cultivators earlier.
Ling Yuling is the most likely candidate. After all, after she received the initiation from the two saints, her cultivation level soared to the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage.
It is very difficult to break through the level of transformation into a god in the human world, much more difficult than in the spirit world, but this level should not be difficult for Ling Yulin.
"I wonder if I can meet any of them after my three hundred years of service in Tianyuan City is over!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
He walked out of the cave and flew towards a building in Tianyuan City, while also releasing some sound transmission notes.
"Let's get together with Senior Brother Xiang and the others!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
He turned into a stream of light and flew towards a teahouse.
This is the place where the Qingming Guards of Tianyuan City often gather. The teahouse offers a kind of precious spiritual tea picked from the wilderness. Drinking it regularly will have great benefits for one's cultivation.
After Ye Changsheng had been sitting in a room in the teahouse for a while, a beam of light flew over from a distance. In the light, the face of an old man with a slightly round face was revealed.
Xiang Zhili is here!
“Boom boom!”
Soon after, there was a knock on the door. Ye Changsheng stood up, walked forward and opened the door of the tea room.
"Senior Brother Xiang, we haven't seen each other for a long time!" Ye Changsheng bowed and said with a smile.
"Junior Brother Ye, you have been in seclusion for a long time and haven't appeared yet! Huh? Junior Brother, you have already broken through to the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm?!"
Xiang Zhili first greeted Ye Changsheng enthusiastically, then noticed the change in his cultivation, and an expression of surprise and shock appeared on his face.
He couldn't help but almost pulled out several strands of his beard.
How long had he advanced to the Divine Realm? How soon did he break through again?
Xiang Zhili found it quite unbelievable. Ye Changsheng was definitely the most talented person he had ever met.
It has only been about a hundred years since he ascended, but he has already made a breakthrough.
At this rate, by the time he is about a thousand years old , he will probably be able to advance to the realm of refining emptiness, right?
Although Xiang Zhili himself achieved a breakthrough in cultivation about a hundred years after ascending, his situation was completely different from Ye Changsheng's.
When he was in the human world, he had already cultivated to the peak of the early stage of the Spirit Transformation. He had been holding back for too long, so he was able to make a breakthrough so quickly.
"Well, junior brother, I have been practicing in seclusion for a period of time, and I made a breakthrough accidentally. It was all luck, haha!" Ye Changsheng laughed twice and said.
Xiang Zhili gave a bitter smile upon hearing this. The idea of luck was too outrageous.
The two sat here for a while, and after a while there was another knock on the door. Xiang Zhili stood up and opened the door. Standing outside was an old man with a horse face.
It was Xiang Zhili’s long-time friend Feng Laoguai.
After entering the tea room, this man greeted Ye Changsheng happily, but immediately, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Ye's cultivation..."
"Haha, Brother Feng, aren't you also in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm?" Ye Changsheng laughed and shook his head.
When Old Monster Feng heard this, he immediately shook his head like a rattle.
"How can this be compared? We have been suppressing them in the human world for so long, but Fellow Daoist Ye..."
Old Monster Feng sighed, sat down with Xiang Zhili, and looked at Ye Changsheng with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
The three of them sipped a pot of spiritual tea on the table and chatted casually, talking about the various things that had happened to the Qingming Guard over the years.
Including various events in Tianyuan City, various legends among the human and demon races, and various wild monsters encountered when going out on missions.
In this regard, Ye Changsheng was not as well-informed as Xiang Zhili and the others.
After all, these two people often communicate with various cultivators, mingle among the group of ascended cultivators, and are well-informed.
“So, among our human race, the one who has the most profound application of the power of the stars is the Tianling Realm?” Ye Changsheng asked slowly, his eyes flashing.
"That should be the case. Tianmiao Linghuang of the Tianling Realm has profound attainments in these fields. Many secret methods and formations about applying the power of stars were passed down from the Linghuang Palace!" Xiang Zhili said.
Ye Changsheng couldn't help but think of the formation that the old man with the goat beard took out when he and Zhao Wugui and the others went on a mission before.
Tiangang Wansuo Formation.
It was a formation that used the power of the stars to trap the enemy.
At that time, I heard from the old man with goat beard that this formation was also obtained from the Tianling Realm.
However, when Ye Changsheng passed through the Tianling Realm this time, he also stayed in some cities, but he did not come into contact with any formations related to the stars.
"It seems I have to go to the main city of Tianling Realm. There should be a formation there that can draw the power of the stars!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
He still needs to think of a way to set up the formation.
Although he himself had mastered a lot of knowledge in the field of formations under the guidance of Xin Ruyin, his knowledge far exceeded that of his peers.
However, these alone were not enough for him to create a large formation that could draw the power of the Big Dipper .
"Tian Miao Ling Huang is truly mysterious and unfathomable. Whether it is formations, talismans, puppets, or refining, she is extremely proficient in these fields. It is really admirable!"
"It is said that she once appeared in an auction in Tianyuan City. Unfortunately, I was on a mission at that time and missed the auction. What a pity!" Xiang Zhili said with a look of regret.
"Haha, with Senior Brother Xiang's talent, after he breaks through the Void Refinement Stage in the future, he can leave Tianyuan City and join the Spirit Emperor Palace. I think the Spirit Emperor will not refuse the joining of an ascended cultivator at the Void Refinement Stage. Wouldn't it be easy to meet the Spirit Emperor then?" Ye Changsheng said with a smile.
"Haha, Junior Brother, you are joking. Breaking through the Void Refining Stage is so difficult. How can you just break through it?"
" Besides, if I really become a Void Refining cultivator, I would not want to leave Tianyuan City. Although it is dangerous to stay here, there are many more opportunities after all!" Xiang Zhili shook his head and said with a smile.
It seems that he has tasted the sweetness from the various resources of Tianyuan City and is unwilling to leave easily!
Ye Changsheng smiled when he heard this, and stopped talking about this topic. Instead, he asked, "By the way, we have been sitting here for so long, why hasn't Fellow Daoist Hu appeared yet?"
