Volume 7: The Strongest Four Realms Chapter 17: Flawless Taoist Foundation?
After waiting for a while and seeing that there was no movement, Lu Qingshan finally chose to move closer to investigate.
In his heart, he silently felt the changes in vitality hidden beneath the earth.
As he was about to approach that place of vitality, a strong sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart.
clang clang clang!
The first thing Lu Qingshan did was to use the Five Elements Sword Armor.
Five layers of sword curtains of different colors immediately surrounded his body, protecting him.
Hiss! Hiss!
Two thick green vines suddenly stretched out from that vibrant place, like the tentacles of an octopus, extremely fast, turning into a residual shadow, and pierced towards Lu Qingshan, as if to pierce him directly.
Bang!
Although the green vines' attack was swift, Lu Qingshan's Five Elements Sword Armor's defensive power was amazing.
Faced with the layers of protection of the Five Elements Sword Armor, not only did Green Vine's attack fail , but the sharp sword energy of the sword armor also scraped off a layer of sawdust.
But that’s not all.
Just taking a beating without fighting back is a physical cultivation, not a sword cultivation.
The sword cultivator said, if you hit me, I will kill you.
Lu Qingshan did the same.
Amid the howling thunder, another sound of thunder was heard, blending in with the rest, without any sense of disobedience.
The sword makes a thunderous sound.
The dragon bird flew out of the body at a speed many times faster than the two green vines.
Hiss!
One sword not only produces thunder, but also fire.
Flames bloomed above the dragon bird, and it easily cut the two vines into two pieces.
"How could this green vine have such a long-lasting vitality?"
Lu Qingshan's heart moved.
Because he discovered that the green vine that he had cut into two pieces was still able to move and crawl in the lightning after falling to the ground.
The two sections of vines connected to the ground were shrinking rapidly.
It is true that we must remove the roots when we cut the grass.
Lu Qingshan's eyes were cold, and the flames on the dragon bird rose again. Like a phantom, it chopped off the green vines again and again. When it was completely submerged in the ground, it was chopped into dozens of pieces and burned to ashes.
However, in the end, a section of the two green vines each hid underground.
Soon, the vitality disappeared completely.
"He's fast, can launch sneak attacks, is extremely difficult to kill, and knows how to escape." Lu Qingshan's heart moved.
Although they were just two green vines, these characteristics made him feel that these green vines were intelligent... or in other words, who was controlling them?
Feeling that the life force on the ground where the green vines had previously grown had completely disappeared, Lu Qingshan's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
This place is becoming more and more unusual.
Even after he put away his sword armor, the thunder attack on his body did not disappear.
Either advance or retreat, you can't just stand there and waste your spiritual energy and do nothing.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Qingshan finally chose to move forward.
…
It is not suitable to fly in a place where thunder appears.
Flying in the air, because of its aura, it is easy to become a human lightning rod.
Lu Qingshan chose to speed up, slightly pressed his body, and rushed forward, but he freed his mind and paid attention to the changes in vitality in the earth.
As he was flying quickly, suddenly, a green vine appeared from the ground in front of him.
This green vine was several times thicker than the two he had encountered previously.
A huge impact force came roaring.
As the green vine was waved, it even created a whistling wind, blowing Lu Qingshan's hair backwards.
The strong wind is as sharp as a knife.
Lu Qingshan was always alert, and Xu had already predicted the attack of the vine several breaths in advance with the help of his vitality.
So, almost at the same time, the moment the vines appeared, the dragon bird also roared out from his body.
A sword pierced through the green vine.
The green vine suddenly broke into two pieces.
After this sword, the vines that had spread out in a show of force rapidly shrank at a speed twice as fast as when they attacked Lu Qingshan, and disappeared back into the ground.
"He's not good at hitting people, but he's good at running away." A cold light flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes. He took another pill to restore his spiritual power and continued to move forward.
…
In the darkness, a pair of green eyes suddenly opened.
Around this pair of green eyes, there are countless green vines wriggling.
Sizzle!
At this moment, three extremely short vines were shaking, as if they were complaining.
If Lu Qingshan were here, he would definitely recognize that these three vines were chopped by him into their current unfortunate state.
"Why is someone here so early?" A gloomy voice sounded in the darkness, as if talking to himself, "It's still a human... No, the human bloodline is too weak and doesn't have much of a future. I don't think highly of it. I'd better drive him away quickly to avoid him ruining my plans. After the Thunder Fruit matures, the bloodlines of the big monsters attracted will be barely good enough... Although it's far inferior to my own bloodline, it's unlikely that I can get a better one now..."
…
Lu Qingshan was very careful and alert along the way, and he moved very quickly in the Leigong Pool.
At this moment, even if the thunder around did not suddenly burst out, its power had already increased two or three times compared to before.
"We should be approaching the core area soon." Lu Qingshan made a judgment.
At this point, he had already used all the lightning-proof magic weapons he bought in Giant Bear City.
Four or five defensive magic weapons, like a tortoise shell, isolate the thunder from outside.
This place was too strange. Lu Qingshan was afraid that something unexpected would happen next time he came here, so he increased his speed a little, preparing to break into the core area in one go to see whether the expected thunder fruit really existed.
"Not good!" Lu Qingshan's face suddenly changed, and he retreated quickly without hesitation.
——He felt a huge and almost terrifying vitality suddenly appearing from the land in front of him.
boom!
An extremely terrifying howling sound was heard.
A green vine as thick as a giant python grew out and stretched across the sky.
As Lu Qingshan retreated violently, the dragon bird had already crossed the sky.
This time, he didn't hold back at all.
With the help of the immortal true meaning, he evolved the killing sword intent, making the killing sword intent in the unity state more powerful. It was attached to the dragon bird and directly bombarded the huge vine.
The two clashed.
The ending was completely different from before.
Under the influence of the immortal true meaning, the power of Lu Qingshan's flying sword was qualitatively improved, and it directly chopped the thick vine into powder.
Dust floats in the air.
"Looking for death." Lu Qingshan just snorted coldly.
In order to save spiritual energy, he had not used the sword intent when he used the flying sword, which allowed the three vines to be cut off and escape.
He didn't expect that this green vine would dare to attack him again.
This time, he burst out with all his strength. Even though the vine was much stronger than before, he still chopped it into powder.
…
"Um?"
A light "hmm" sounded in the darkness.
He originally wanted to drive away the human who had rashly intruded into this place, but he didn't expect to suffer such a severe blow instead.
He could feel that the power of this move had undergone a qualitative change compared to the previous moves.
After thinking for a while, the man who controlled the green vine released his perception and felt it carefully. After a moment, he murmured, "No, it's just a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul. When did a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul become so strong... Could it be that the human race has undergone some unexpected changes during this period of time, and its strength has greatly increased? Impossible, it shouldn't be like this. A few years ago, a Nascent Soul cultivator broke into this place, but he was very ordinary. I didn't even make a move, and he escaped in disgrace. From this point of view, it should be that this Nascent Soul cultivator is just more skilled..."
However, he did not think much about it. "It seems that I have to use more tricks... Otherwise, if he really breaks in here, it will be bad..."
…
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
In the Leigong Pond, after killing the green vine, Lu Qingshan hadn't even had time to catch his breath when three more green vines suddenly appeared out of nowhere and swung towards him.
Moreover, when the three green vines were waved, they actually triggered the power of thunder in the surrounding areas.
The thunder pool seemed to be boiling, with arcs of lightning making crackling sounds and falling into chaos.
The thunder danced like an electric snake, biting towards him.
Lu Qingshan let out a low shout and waved his right hand, and the dragon bird and peach blossom flew out together.
It was the thunder tide caused by the green vines. As long as we kill those three green vines, perhaps the thunder tide can be calmed down.
Sizzle!
Faced with the two flying swords that were extremely fast and produced thunderous sounds, those lightning arcs actually condensed into a thunder ball and blasted towards the two flying swords.
Boom boom boom——
The two flying swords collided with the thunder ball, and with the sound of the explosion so loud that it even drowned out the sound of thunder, the thunder ball collapsed and exploded, and the thunder inside it overflowed and wandered in the surrounding space.
However, after the thunder, the place where Lu Qingshan had originally been was now empty.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
Looking again, Lu Qingshan had crossed the thunder and appeared in front of the three green vines without him noticing.
He performed the invisible sword escape, merging his body with the sword, and under the cover of the dragon bird and peach blossom, he passed through the Forgotten River and instantly crossed the thunder riot area and approached the green vine.
"die!"
Lu Qingshan held the Wangchuan in his hand and slashed three times in succession. A strong sword energy burst out from the sword and rolled towards the three green vines.
Even if ordinary sword styles can cut through the green vine, it is impossible to kill it.
However, Lu Qingshan's sword was accompanied by countless sword energies, which completely crushed the green vine in an instant.
The green vine instantly broke into countless pieces and fell to the ground. With lightning snakes roaming all over the ground, it turned into ashes and scattered.
When all three green vines were dealt with, the sudden thunder wave also suddenly subsided.
"It is true." Lu Qingshan murmured.
Once the green vine is destroyed, the thunder wave will subside!
call!
The whistling sound came again and the thunder wave moved again.
"Come again!" Lu Qingshan's face changed.
This time, there were ten green vines as thick as giant pythons. They shot out like long snakes from the ground covered by lightning. They intertwined with each other in mid-air and shot out violently, trying to pass through Lu Qingshan.
Even though he was confident, Lu Qingshan still felt quite embarrassed at this moment.
Although the ten green vines looked scary, they still couldn't do anything to him.
The problem was, there were three green vines just now, but after he cut them down, they suddenly became ten.
If he cuts down all ten green vines, will there be twenty or thirty vines?
A sense of crisis arose in his heart, but Lu Qingshan's hands did not pause at all. Dragon Bird and Peach Blossom turned into surging sword light and rolled out with the power of flying swords.
He himself held the Wangchuan River and rushed out quickly, killing the green vine closest to him.
The sword energy was running through the three-foot-long sword, and the flying sword was whistling with a thunderous sound.
While fighting with the green vines, Lu Qingshan tried to move deeper into the Leigong Pond in an attempt to get rid of the green vines.
But the green vines are not fixed. When Lu Qingshan moves, they will disappear on the ground and then grow out from the ground very close to Lu Qingshan.
Therefore, he had to get rid of these green vines before he could move forward, otherwise these green vines would follow him and grind him to death.
In this case, Lu Qingshan no longer cared about the consumption of spiritual energy. With an idea in his mind, the sword intent came out.
hiss!
The sword light seemed to cut through the void, and as it swung and changed, one could even faintly see a pitch-black crack.
That was because the sword light was too bright and dazzling, creating a visual illusion.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The three natal swords each displayed their magical powers, and Lu Qingshan used both his outer and inner swords.
But in just four breaths, the ten green vines were cut down to only four.
Subconsciously, Lu Qingshan looked at the experience consumption.
Then the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing an expression of great pain.
From beginning to end, the time he used Wangchuan did not exceed ten breaths.
But in just such a short period of no more than ten breaths, he had already consumed 30,000 experience points.
He is indeed a big money swallower.
laugh!
Lu Qingshan swung out another sword and cut off the last green vine in front of him. Then he quickly put away the Wangchuan River, and the experience value that was decreasing like flowing water stopped changing.
etc!
The next moment, Lu Qingshan suddenly realized a problem.
——He had already killed more than a dozen green vines.
But he didn't receive any experience points.
Didn't kill those green vines?
Impossible, he saw with his own eyes the green vines turned into powder.
...Then there is only one possibility left.
Those green vines are just part of a living creature!
Just like a centipede has thousands of legs, if he cuts off ten of them, he naturally won’t gain any experience.
You have to kill it to gain experience.
The green vine, which was so terrifying, was actually just a part of a certain existence?! How terrifying would the green vine's true form be?
Lu Qingshan felt a chill in his heart.
"Thirty percent of my spiritual power has been consumed." He felt his own condition.
The consumption of spiritual energy is almost reaching his bottom line.
"If any more green vines grow, I won't be able to move forward." He made a secret decision.
According to his expectation, the most reasonable ratio of the spiritual power reserved for the forward journey and the return journey would be 60% to 40%.
If he didn't reserve more spiritual energy for the return trip , he would be killed in the Thunder God's Pond if he encountered any accidents.
only……
Lu Qingshan surrounded him.
After he dealt with the ten green vines, the green vines that had been appearing one after another and constantly blocking his progress no longer appeared.
"Have they all been resolved?" Lu Qingshan was a little uncertain.
…
…
“So strong, it’s actually so strong. According to the human race’s cultivation system, my ten green vines are equivalent to ten cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage… and under the hands of this sword cultivator, they couldn’t even last ten breaths? He is clearly only in the early Nascent Soul stage…”
"How can a human race with such weak bloodline have such fighting power?"
"That doesn't make sense. That doesn't make sense."
In the darkness, gloomy whispers continued to be heard.
"Unless... unless his foundation is the legendary flawless foundation..." Suddenly, the gloomy murmur thought of something, "Only this possibility can explain why he possesses such an exaggerated combat power!"
The human race is born with weak blood and is born as a powerless baby.
The demon race, on the other hand, is gifted with extraordinary talents and powerful bloodlines. The best among them, such as the true dragons, already possess the power to overturn rivers and seas as soon as they are born.
The contrast is very clear, this is the difference in bloodline.
In terms of bloodline alone, the human race should be the bottom of the pile in front of the demon race, and will never be able to turn things around.
However, the fact is, the human race, with this weakest bloodline, unexpectedly became the masters of this world, and the powerful ones even possessed the power to destroy the world.
What it relies on is acquired practice.
The foundation of the human race's path of cultivation is the Tao foundation.
The more powerful the practice, the more refined the spiritual power, the more perfect the foundation of the Tao will be, the brighter the future of the cultivator will be, and the stronger the combat power will be.
The most advanced and superior foundation of Taoism is the flawless foundation, which means without any flaws.
A cultivator who can cultivate this kind of Taoist foundation will have no rivals among his peers.
The Taoist foundation that humans cultivate after birth corresponds exactly to the innate bloodline of the demon race.
Man can conquer nature.
This is the human race.
“Although the bloodline is a little weak, the flawless foundation of the human race is more precious and rare than those powerful demon bloodlines, and in terms of growth and prospects, it is even stronger… However, if you want to maintain this flawless foundation to a high level, it is extremely difficult…” The voice in the darkness was silent for a while, and gradually turned into an uncontrollable fanaticism, “This is my last chance. I have to choose the best. It’s him, it’s him, a better choice than the demon bloodline…”
"Hurry up and put away your tricks, lest you scare him away."
The owner of the voice had already made up his mind. With a thought, nearly a hundred green vines that had been lurking underground, ready to move, retreated silently.
