Chapter 8 - Magic pool to open the sea of consciousness

The broken land on the periphery of Xianyun Jedi is covered with huge gullies, and the weathered and seawater erosion of the entire surrounding terrain is even more precipitous, and a slight footstep will cause a collapse.

'Liu Yingyao', who had been flying for a full day, was holding a mid-level spirit stone in her right hand, constantly replenishing her mana.

Because the spiritual power in the Immortal Jedi contains a lot of demon energy, it can only be supplemented by absorbing the spiritual power from the spirit stone.

An hour later, 'Liu Yingyao' woke up from the samadhi, glanced at the mid-level spirit stone whose brilliance was dim and cracked on the surface, and sighed lightly: "This method is very fast, but it is too expensive."

"It's true, poverty and humbleness cannot be moved."

With a slight grip, the spirit stone in his hand, which had exhausted its spiritual power, made a soft glass shattering sound, and turned into countless debris and scattered all over the ground.

'Liu Yingyao' looked at the spar that was obtained from Elder Qi in her hand, and seemed a little puzzled: "Maybe it's because the devil energy here is too thin."

"Let's go deep and try first."

The spar in his hand didn't start to react until it was close to the edge of the inner circle, and wisps of gray-white-black light began to appear around the spar.

Surrounded by gray light, the black part was gradually absorbed by the spar, and a tinge of darkness began to appear in the transparent crystal.

"I started to react here, but the speed is too slow, and I don't have so much time to wait here." She looked at the depths of the Jedi filled with demonic energy, her face full of hesitation: "I heard that there are many people inside. If the monsters alienated by the devilish energy go deep into the interior, it may be a disaster."

"Find a place with plenty of magic energy and put this spar away, and come back in two days to get it back."

After several hesitations, 'Liu Yingyao' finally made up her mind to fly away towards the deep area.

Not long after she left, another ray of light appeared on the outer edge from another direction.

This person is the mysterious bald monk!

"The demonic energy in the outlying areas is always too weak. Even with the help of the fragments of 'Tian Que', I can't break through the foundation building stage,"

"However, the devilish energy in the deep area is too strong..." There seemed to be reminiscence in the eyes looking at the front, and a softness appeared on the already numb face, and then became ruthless: "Fu'er, I will be a brother soon!" I can avenge you."

Afterwards, with flashes of spiritual light all over his body, he suddenly increased his speed and rushed towards the depths of the Immortal Jedi, the direction coincided with the place where 'Liu Yingyao' went!

"Going forward is the limit of what I can bear with this devilish energy."

She looked at the mountains in front of which roared a few times, and then at the spar in her hand, which was slowly gathering magic energy, and she began to be in a dilemma.

at this moment,

"Eh, that's it?"

Liu Yingyao looked around and found an unusual place, when she walked in and took a look,

"There is a hole in the ground here. Judging by the shape... it should be dug out by humans!"

"Just, who could it be?"

"Let's take a look inside!" Liu Yingyao took a deep breath, and then walked towards the cave.

At this moment, she held the strange black sword embryo in her left hand, and held a seal on her head with her right hand like a blue finger twisting a flower.

An aqua-blue mask emerged from the finger to protect it, and slowly moved forward in the cave filled with demonic energy with the faint light emitted by the light curtain.

The crypt is complex and winding, all the way down, and it takes about an hour for this downward feeling to turn forward.

"This burrow has been dug so long, and after so long, there is no end to it. Where does it lead?"

After a while, a space with a radius of four to five feet suddenly appeared in front of him, in which there was only a futon for meditation and nothing else.

In the center of the room, there is an opening about two or three feet wide, in which the thick magic energy is almost tumbling and surging like water, and the entire magic pool does not know how deep it is.

Entering the stone hall, he glanced at the winding stairs on the opposite side of the magic pool, and then at the narrow corridor behind him, muttering to himself: "This passage must have been dug by someone later, but this one Did the magic pool exist earlier or was arranged later?"

"However, the devil energy in this room is gathered in this pool, which is convenient for me."

Just when she was about to take out the spar, there was a sound of footsteps from behind, and when she turned around, she saw a person walking out of the passage.

The person who came was wearing a cloak of radiant animal skin, with a burly body and a shiny head.

The four eyes met, the atmosphere was calm, and I bumped into an unexpected person in an unexpected place.

"It's you!"

"Die!"

'Liu Yingyao' was still in astonishment, but saw the man appearing in front of him with a blurred figure and blinking eyes, raising the power of his palm to condense and go straight to his face.

Caught off guard, it was too late to react, so he could only hold the black sword embryo in his hand in front of his face to resist slightly.

"Boom!"

When palms and swords meet, a muffled sound like thunder spreads from the junction. The thin body of 'Liu Yingyao' was knocked into the magic pool like a kite with broken strings!

"If you fall into this magic pool formed by the condensed magic energy, even Da Luo Jinxian will not be able to save you."

The bald man stared at the pool for a long time without any reaction, then came to a corner of the room and sat down cross-legged, holding a blood cloud surging bead in his hands, muttering words, his face full of seriousness.

While the whole body's mana was running, the blood cloud in the blood-colored bead gradually diffused out to envelop him. After a while, strands of magic energy from the magic pool seemed to be continuously drawn by the blood cloud and gradually gathered on the surface of the blood cloud.

Inside the magic pool, 'Liu Yingyao' was constantly falling, and she felt that the magic energy in the magic pool seemed to have suction, making her unable to stop her body at all.

The depth of the magic pool seemed endless, and the deeper it went down, the stronger the magic energy became.

Suddenly, the magic energy disappeared, and what appeared in front of the eyes was the jet-black water.

"This is, the liquefaction of magic energy!"

She sank into the deep water like a drop of mercury rolling into the thick ink, and the pressure of the devil energy doubled in an instant.

Suddenly feeling the threat of life and death, 'Liu Yingyao' desperately squeezed the little mana left in her body to maintain the aura of body protection.

"Am I really going to die here like this!"

The situation was critical, and when he gritted his teeth cruelly and was about to perform the 'Blood Burning Secret Art' again, suddenly the blackness in front of him disappeared, leaving only a piece of milky white.

The magic energy on the body of 'Liu Yingyao' who fell into it was instantly washed away, and he felt like he had entered a world with only black from a world with only black.

Sitting down at the bottom of the pool, 'Liu Yingyao' felt warmth gradually rising all over her body, and her exhausted mana was rapidly recovering.

"What's going on, why is the mana recovering by itself!"

She got up and looked around, and found that the nearly ten feet wide bottom turned out to be a complete spiritual vein.

"The surface of this spirit vein seems to have been deliberately processed by someone, and it looks very smooth."

"Could it be..." Then he used his mana to look around for a week and then fell back to the ground: "What a great skill,"

"On the surface of the entire spiritual vein, there is a huge magic circle that is slowly rotating. From the function of the magic circle, it should be a magic circle that belongs to the healing category,"

Liu Yingyao looked up at the liquefied demonic energy above, and pondered: "So that's the case, but who made this magic circle, it must have cost a lot of money."

"Now is not the time to think about what the predecessors did, but to think about ways to get out."

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly felt a burst of dryness and heat spreading all over her body, and then bursts of swelling pain and the feeling of being pierced by a knife and needle pricked all over her body's meridians.

"What exactly is going on····"

She felt that her body at this moment was like a balloon that had inflated to the extreme, and it was bound to burst in no time.

'Liu Yingyao' cried out in pain and fell to the ground: "Could it be that this way is going to kill me here."

Anxiously, she noticed that the spiritual power at the bottom did not gather around her, but gathered towards the black sword embryo not far away that was embedded in the ground at an angle.

The black sword embryo exuded white light, sometimes agitated like flames, and sometimes calm like water.

She was ecstatic, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, she staggered and fell several times while walking.

In a short distance of tens of feet, he had already exhausted all his strength, and could only crawl to the side of the sword embryo with difficulty, and put his blood-soaked hand on the sword at the last moment.

Afterwards, the mana accumulated in her body was transferred to the sword embryo through her hands like a levee releasing flood water.

The sudden influx of mana caused the sword embryo to shine brightly and let out bursts of dull sword sounds, while the nearby spiritual power used her body as a bridge to rush towards the black sword embryo.

Every time the spiritual power passed through her body, she felt as if the meridians in her body had been cut by countless sharp knives. Liu Yingyao's eyes were staring straight from the pain, and her silver teeth were almost gnawed into pieces.

And her cultivation base, driven by huge spiritual power, continued to reach the peak of the ninth level of consummation and the tenth level of great perfection in the Qi refining period, and finally directly entered the consummation state of the initial stage of foundation establishment!

The whole process lasted for a full two hours, and as the light from the black sword embryo dissipated, the surrounding spiritual power also stopped gathering.

The liquefied spiritual power at the bottom of the entire spiritual pool was reduced by more than half, and the reduction of the spiritual liquid caused the devilish energy at the top to surge and fall by more than two feet.

"It's true that misfortune depends on blessings, and blessings lie on misfortunes."

After the crisis was over, Liu Yingyao let out a heavy breath, dripping with sweat as if she had just been fished out of the water.

"I have to thank that bald head 'well' for this opportunity."

She looked at the black sword embryo very curiously: "This sword embryo is supposed to be a natural product, but how could it interact with this man-made magic circle?"

On the sword embryo's originally pitch-black body, traces of red lines appeared, like meridians.

'Liu Yingyao' Ru Lan stroked the surface of the sword with her fingers, feeling a sense of intimacy coming from above.

Suddenly his eyes flashed a bright light, and he held the hilt of the sword and lifted the sword embryo lightly, and it was easily held in his hand.

"I didn't expect to be able to move it without mana blessing now." With a wave of his arm, he danced a sword flower very easily: "It feels quite smooth, but, it looks a little ugly."

Liu Yingyao sat down cross-legged, and casually placed the sword embryo on the ground, which caused a slight tremor at the bottom of the pool. The sword embryo was actually embedded in the ground by several inches, which surprised her.

"I'll look into the strangeness here later. It's more important to check my own situation first."

The biggest difference between the Qi refining period and the foundation building period is the opening of the Sea of ​​Consciousness, which can control the spiritual consciousness to leave the body and move within a certain range. It is much more convenient and safer than going there in person.

In terms of accommodating mana, if the Qi refining period is the water flow and mountain streams formed after the rain, then the foundation building period is equivalent to a wide river.

But Liu Yingyao, who was looking inside, found that the magic power in her body was like a river rushing, surging.

"Fortunately, it's just some minor damage."

After checking her injuries, Liu Yingyao let out a long sigh of relief, and then she held her breath and entered her sea of ​​consciousness.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, you can't see the boundary above, and you can't see the border below. Except for the space with a radius of about a hundred feet in the center, the entire periphery is boundless and chaotic.

Just when she was lamenting the emptiness in this sea of ​​consciousness, a sick and weak voice suddenly came.

"Little friend, you are finally here."
