I became a saint by cultivating demons in a strange world

Chapter 153 Another Breakthrough
Li Xiao looked at the three newly obtained ability fragments,

Thinking about what abilities to use.

After much deliberation, he felt that he should still be given the eyes of the death curse.

He hasn't used this ability for a long time.

After all, this desperate ability, as his strength becomes stronger, can almost crush his peers, so naturally he will not use it easily.

But this is a life-saving trick.

When you encounter a target that is stronger than you but has a short lifespan, it is a sure kill.

Of course, the premise is that the star level of this ability must keep up with his and the target's cultivation.

Otherwise, the lifespan that needs to be consumed will increase geometrically.

So he felt it was necessary to upgrade this ability.

The most important thing is that this instant death curse is very mysterious and involves the rules of life and death.

After Li Xiao understood a hint of the true meaning of Tai Chi, he also had some vague insights into the true meaning of life and death.

He felt that if he wanted to understand the true meaning of Tai Chi, he must not only understand the chaos of darkness and light, but also the profound meaning between life and death.

Only by fully understanding all of these can one become a true Infinite God.

After thinking about it, Li Xiao no longer hesitated and used the three fragments directly on the Eye of the Death Curse.

All of a sudden, various insights appeared,

His ability has reached the three-star level.

After acquiring these abilities, he didn't have much understanding and could just use them instinctively.
It's like a character using skills in a game.

But as his cultivation level increased and he understood the curse of the Six Paths of Gods and Demons, he gained a new understanding of these strange abilities.

Then, he obtained two sources of strangeness, and after refining them, this realization became even deeper.

He gradually began to comprehend and understand the underlying logic and rules of these abilities given by the strange system.

It's like when playing a game, it's not just about knowing which buttons to press to use abilities;

I also gradually began to understand how these abilities are implemented in the game through programming.

Li Xiao doesn’t want to be just a game character, or even a GM.

But people who want to do that programming.

Therefore, he must understand and comprehend the true meaning and rules of these abilities.

Then after his ability was improved, he began to absorb and digest it.

However, under normal conditions, it is very difficult for him to understand these things.

So with a thought, he returned to the world of cultivating immortals.

"There are still ten points left in Daoyun, which should be enough to digest the insights brought about by the improvement of the Eye of Death Curse..."

He understood the method of fusion and refining, and when he refined the third-level top-grade corpse puppet Tu Feng, he almost exhausted the Tao Yun.

Fortunately, there are still ten points left, otherwise I would have to refine the Shadow Earl before I can get Daoyun.

By then, the insidious realization brought about by the improvement of abilities may have long since dissipated.

That's what it is like to understand something. If it's delayed, it will disappear.

It would be difficult to have that mysterious feeling again.

Naturally, Li Xiao did not dare to delay, and immediately called Dao Yun and entered the state of enlightenment.

It’s still that road with no end in sight,

This time, Li Xiao actually hesitated and did not dare to move forward.

Between life and death, there is great terror.

"From the time a person is born, life and death will follow him throughout his life. Death has spiritual support in everything he thinks and desires between heaven and earth. If he dies, it means that this world has become the root, and his mind changes into a great terror..."

he is afraid,

Fear of failure, fear of death.

This is an irrepressible emotion.

Suddenly, Tai Chi appeared, black and white flowed, yin and yang came into being.

"Isn't the purpose of my cultivating immortality to get rid of this great terror? Then why are I still afraid and afraid to move forward?"

"Because you don't know whether the road ahead is open or not. If you go forward, it may be the cliff leading to the abyss..."

"If we go, we may not be able to get through, but if we don't go, we will just be trapped and die..."

"It can be said that there may not be another way..."

At this time, a crossroads actually appeared in front of the road.

Li Xiao stood at the fork in the road, and the two voices started talking again, persuading him which way to take.

"To shut up……"

Li Xiao didn't even look, and firmly set foot on the path he originally wanted to take.

That road was twisting and turning. Although it was difficult to walk, it was the road he chose and he would definitely walk it to the end.

And then,
In reality, the Tai Chi pattern rotates above the head of Li Xiao, who is sitting cross-legged, emitting chaotic light.

He had already comprehended the magical power of the Chaos Curse.
The yin and yang of Tai Chi originally have the meaning of chaos, which is uncertain between black and white.

By analogy, one can naturally better understand the true meaning of Tai Chi, the chaos of yin and yang.

Originally, Li Xia just wanted to understand the rules of death brought about by the upgrade of the Eye of the Death Curse.
But the intersection of life and death, the interplay of yin and yang, also triggers the true meaning of Tai Chi.

Under such circumstances, the Tai Chi pattern that imprisoned the Shadow Earl was actually refined at the same time.

Time flies.

Ten days passed quickly.

Originally, he only had ten points of Tao Yun, and they were all used up in ten days.

But after refining the Tai Chi pattern, the Shadow Earl was also refined accordingly.

So he got another 100 points of Tao Yun before he could continue to realize Taoism.

Another ten days passed,

Tai Chi patterns are thoroughly refined,
And the source of darkness inside was naturally refined.

But Li Xiao did not receive the origin given by heaven.
Maybe he hasn't fully understood the true meaning of darkness, or maybe it's not heavy enough.

After all, last time, he used two sources of weirdness in exchange for a little bit of the source of immortality.

Obviously this Fang Tiandao believed that the origin he had given was much higher than the source of weirdness.

This is why you will be stingy in giving.

At this time, the Tai Chi in Li Xiao's body was flowing, the yin and yang were uncertain, and the six divine and demonic skills were also stimulated.

At the same time, the divine radiance also emitted from the godhead.

At this moment, through the state of enlightenment, he wanted to understand all these true meanings.

But that's easier said than done.

Any one of these true meanings is very profound.

Under normal circumstances, if a monk can understand one, it would be a great thing.

Even if you are a peerless genius, it would be impossible to learn them all without the help of a state of enlightenment.

And it was precisely because Li Xiao was able to enter the state of enlightenment that he dared to be ambitious and walk on the most difficult and dangerous road he chose.

It's very rare to be in this state now.

The Six Paths of Gods and Demons, the True Meaning of Tai Chi, the Godhead, etc. are all running rapidly.

The most rare thing is that the true meaning of these exercises not only does not conflict with each other, but also complements each other.

Naturally, he would not miss this opportunity.

So I simply called out all the remaining materials and weirdness,
Piles of flesh and blood material appeared,
The soul refining furnace was also sacrificed into the air.
A large number of strange things were put into the Soul-eating Banner, and were quickly refined into pure evil spirit.
Those materials were also refined by the Six Paths of Gods and Demons, and turned into Li Xiao's resources.

The spirit gathering array was also fully opened.

A large amount of spiritual energy gathered towards the cave.

Such movement naturally alarmed the senior officials of the Yuan Zhen Sect.

"Is this the great elder who is retreating to make a breakthrough?"

"Didn't the Great Elder just break through to the middle stage of the Golden Core? How long has it been before you break through again?"

The commotion caused by Li Xiao's breakthrough to the middle stage of Jindan was quite big.

At that time, the spiritual energy vortex caused a strange phenomenon directly above the cave.

So almost everyone in the Yuan Zhen Sect knew that he had just broken through to the middle stage of the Golden Core not long ago.

Although it has been almost a year since he broke through to the middle stage of Jindan,
But a year, to a monk, seems like the blink of an eye.

Sometimes after breaking through a realm, it takes more than a year to consolidate it.

And now looking at the direction of the spiritual energy flow, that person is about to break through again.This kind of speed, even if it breaks through the fourth level to the fifth level in the middle stage of Jindan, it is very incredible.

Nangong Jiaqin knew that the master was in a special situation and ordered everyone, "Don't make a fuss. The elder's use of spiritual energy may not necessarily be a breakthrough in cultivation. It may be refining a magic weapon. Please don't spread it everywhere..."

In fact, she thought so too.

To have another breakthrough in just one year is really shocking.

If this spreads out, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

After all, such a fast breakthrough speed means that he must have an incredible opportunity on his hands.

By then, even the Nascent Soul cultivators might be jealous.

It is only reasonable to say that it is refining magic weapons.

Everyone responded quickly and said they would never dare to go out and talk nonsense.

But then everyone did think that the great elder was refining a powerful magic weapon.

Because this high-intensity spirit gathering process actually lasted for three months.

You must know that to break through the realm, apart from the saying that there is a hundred days of foundation building when building the foundation, even if it is a big realm breakthrough, it will never last for such a long time.

The breakthrough process lasts for about a month at most.

Success succeeds, failure fails.

As for the Jindan monks who practice normally, they do not need such high-intensity spirit gathering in the third-level spiritual veins.

Therefore, everyone thought that the great elder was refining some powerful magic weapon, so he would waste his spiritual veins at all costs.

However, during this period, everyone in the Yuan Zhen Sect suffered.

Their spiritual veins and spiritual energy were all drained away, and even their normal cultivation was affected.

But at this time in the cave,
Li Xiao opened his eyes, black and white flowed in his eyes, and his eyes flashed.

In three months, he had just used up all his remaining Daoyun and materials.

And his cultivation level has improved from the middle stage of Jindan to the late stage of Jindan.

This improvement is huge.

In fact, even Li Xiao himself didn't think of it.

After all, he had only been promoted to the middle stage of Jindan for about a year.
Now it is equivalent to three levels in a row, directly breaking through from the fourth level of Jindan to the seventh level of Jindan.

Moreover, there were no obstacles or disasters when breaking through to the late stage of Jindan.

In other words, the fork in the road that appeared at the beginning and the great horror between life and death were his disaster.

And he got through it very smoothly, without any doubts at all.

In fact, in the final analysis, his foundation is too strong, and he has far surpassed Tongji.

There is also the newly acquired godhood and understanding of life and death decisions, which are of great help to him.

"I never imagined that the true meaning of Tai Chi and the understanding of life and death would be of such great help to my cultivation..."

At this time, not only had his cultivation level been promoted to the late Golden Core stage,

He also has a completely new understanding of the true meaning of Yin and Yang in Tai Chi, and the true meaning of life and death.

With a thought in his mind, Li Xiao summoned the godhead.

At this time, the godhead no longer looked like a crystal, but turned into a small Tai Chi pattern.

The yin and yang of Tai Chi flow, emitting mysterious light.

The infinite god he originally envisioned was represented by Tai Chi Yin and Yang, and it was only at this time that it was completely formed.

In other words, at this time, he has found his own path to spiritual cultivation.

Whether you are a god or a monk, you must have your own path.

Otherwise, you will have to follow other people's paths.

But other people's paths may not be suitable for you.

Of course, if you are only pursuing temporary strength, then of course the road traveled by others will be easier.

But if you want to pursue eternity and freedom, you must have your own way.

These things were originally very profound and mysterious,
If things go according to normal circumstances, you have to at least reach the realm of becoming a god or above before you can get in touch with it.

However, Li Xiao had already begun to involve and come into contact with these things in the realm of golden elixir.

If other monks knew about it, their jaws would probably drop.

Of course, there will definitely be monks who will sneer at it.

If you think that you are not even a Nascent Soul yet, and you start to come into contact with things above the Transformation of God, I am afraid it will only make your foundation become less and less solid.

To put it bluntly, it is so ambitious.

But this is definitely not the case for Li Xiao.

His upper limit is high and his foundation is solid, far exceeding that of monks at the same level.

This is because he seems to have only been practicing for a few decades.
But in fact, he has been walking on that mysterious road for hundreds of years.

However, after sensing it, Li Xiao also discovered a problem.

"Sure enough, after returning to the world of cultivating immortals, I can no longer receive the power of faith transmitted from the strange world..."

The world of cultivating immortals does not support the path of belief in gods.
Therefore, if it is a pure spiritual cultivation, not only will it not be able to exert the maximum effect of the godhead here, it will also be faintly suppressed.

This is suppression by rules,

Just like the weird ones he brought into this world, they will also be suppressed in this way.

Both spiritual cultivators and deceitful cultivators are like rootless duckweeds when they come here.

Just like a monk who goes to a strange world, he will also be restricted due to lack of spiritual energy.

Fortunately, Li Xiao's main path was to cultivate immortality, so he was not affected at all.

However, if he wants to continue to improve his godhood, he must either stay in the strange world for a long time, or he must find another way.

Li Xiao thought, "The godhead is also helpful to my cultivation. It allows me to draw parallels and expand my path. However, if the level of the godhead exceeds my cultivation, I am afraid it will overwhelm me, so I still have to get a clone as soon as possible." That’s all…”

Now he is afraid that his godhood will be affected if he improves too quickly, but he also doesn't want to waste the power of faith.

The best way is to create a clone, let it carry the godhead, and become the Infinite God instead of him.

He touched his chin and said, "If it is an ordinary substitute, there is a ready-made one, such as the corpse puppet Tu Feng. However, even if my soul is attached to it, when I return to the world of immortal cultivation, I will completely lose contact with it. There is still no guarantee that he will develop self-awareness and commit acts of betrayal..."

As long as something like a puppet is not under one's control, there is a risk of losing control.

Especially if the godhead is in his body, some inexplicable changes may occur.

After all, the godhead is formed by the power of faith.

If left unchecked, it will cause the puppet to develop godlike consciousness.

It will be difficult for Li Xiao to take it back then.

If this really happens, it can be said that you lose both your wife and your troops.

This situation will basically not occur in the external incarnation.

Even if the clone loses contact with the main body, it will automatically return as long as the consciousness of the main body appears.

This is like a game account, with a safe secret protection and retrieval mechanism, so there is no fear of account hacking.

Even if the account is hacked, as soon as the owner logs in, he can immediately kick other people away and retrieve the account.

Only in this way can Li Xiao safely attach the godhead to it, allowing it to sit in the strange world and receive the power of faith.

However, the secret method of refining the external incarnation is very rare.

I'm afraid even Yuanying Sect like Xuanyue Sect may not have one.

However, Li Xiao speculated that the reason why so few monks were able to become external incarnations was because suitable heavenly materials and earthly treasures were too precious.

It’s not that the secret method is difficult to find.

And Li Xiao just had the right materials.

Split Tentacle: A three-star prop that replaces an arm after use and gains the ability to 'split'.

Split: Three-star ability, use tentacles to split a clone. The clone can have half the strength of the original body, and the upper limit of strength is equal to the star rating.

This split tentacle was obtained from the captain of the Wind Chime, the giant octopus monster.

He has never used this prop. First of all, he doesn't want to replace one of his arms.
Then I want to keep it to refine my external incarnation.

But now that he not only understood the method of fusion and refining, but also had the infinite Tai Chi godhead, he already had an idea on how to refine the incarnation.

This prop also comes in handy.

"But now that all the Dao Yun and materials have been consumed, I have to go first and then come back at a higher level. Otherwise, it may be difficult to refine the external incarnation... There are also some auxiliary heavenly materials and earthly treasures that need to be gone. collect……"

He directly summoned Nangong Jiaqin.

Nangong Jiaqin hurried over and was shocked when she saw Li Xiao.

Because in her eyes, this master is becoming more and more unfathomable.
