"All phenomena are like dreams and bubbles..."
Ling Xiao seemed to have thought of a Buddhist scripture and muttered to himself.
The stone tripod in front of me looks very ordinary, as if it is within reach, but it also seems to be far away and becomes empty when reached.
This is not a formation, nor is it the power of space. Ling Xiao did not sense any fluctuations in time and space. This is just the power of the mind. A powerful person has hidden the stone house and stone tripod.
Unless one can comprehend the methods of that powerful being, perhaps one will be able to break through the mental power in front of him and touch the stone tripod.
Buzz!
Mysterious waves spread out, extending from the stone house and stone tripod, enveloping Ling Xiao entirely.
Ling Xiao could feel that within that mysterious wave, there lay extremely profound principles of alchemy, which gave him many insights.
"Ling Xiao, could it be that the origin of the Heart Pill is hidden in this stone house and stone tripod?"
Zhao Ritian asked with some curiosity.
"It's possible! But it's been sealed by the power of the powerful. We can only rely on ourselves to comprehend it!"
Ling Xiao said slowly.
"Is it sealed? Hey, how about we see if we can break it open by force?"
Zhao Ritian said eagerly.
"Don't act rashly! This seventh floor is probably under the surveillance of the saints of Danfu Mountain. If you dare to come out, you will be driven out before we get the origin of the Heart Pill! Let me try first!"
Ling Xiao stopped Zhao Ritian.
He knew what Zhao Ritian was thinking. This guy must want to rely on the supreme imperial weapon, the Yan Emperor Ding, to forcibly break the seal of the stone house and my stone tripod.
"Oh well!"
Zhao Ritian nodded.
Ling Xiao sat cross-legged in front of the stone tripod.
The stone tripod looks very ancient, with mottled walls, exuding the vicissitudes of time. Originally, there should have been runes or pictures engraved on the walls, but now they have become extremely blurred.
Ling Xiao sat cross-legged in front of the stone tripod. His heart was calm, without any joy or sorrow. The mind realm emerged around him, with powerful mental strength spreading as he carefully touched the stone tripod.
Ling Xiao's practice of the Taixu Heart Talisman Sutra has reached the peak of the fifth level. He is only one step away from reaching the realm of manifestation of sainthood. However, this one step makes his mind still extremely illusory, invisible and intangible. Others cannot perceive it at all. Only he can see it. It is a world filled with chaos, looming around him.
When Ling Xiao's powerful mental strength touched the stone tripod, the stone tripod trembled slightly.
Ling Xiao couldn't touch the stone tripod with his hands, but he could with his mental power.
In order to verify what Ling Xiao was thinking, he began to mobilize the power of the Hunyuan Heart Pill Sutra, slowly injecting his tremendous mental strength into the stone tripod.
Without any obstruction or even a trace of sluggishness, Ling Xiao's mental strength was directly integrated into the stone tripod.
"It really is of the same origin as the Hunyuan Heart Pill Sutra!"
Ling Xiao suddenly understood and no longer had any hesitation. At this moment, all the vast mental power in his heart rushed into the stone tripod.
Buzz!
The stone tripod vibrated slightly and actually made a sound of metal. As Ling Xiao poured his mental strength into the stone tripod, the vibrations of the stone tripod became more and more violent, and a trace of mysterious light shot out from the stone tripod.
Snap!
A crisp sound was heard, and the mottled stone skin on the outer wall of the stone tripod began to fall off, and a bright light shot out from it.
Mysterious patterns emerged, outlining strange runes, and mysterious patterns appeared on the wall of the tripod. The light emanating from the stone tripod became more and more intense and dazzling.
Finally, the stone tripod shook violently, and the gray-brown mottled stone skin fell off completely. In an instant, billions of dazzling golden lights burst out, and wisps of golden flames burned fiercely.
Ling Xiao could feel that the stone tripod was not a real stone tripod, but an entity condensed by his tremendous mental power. When Ling Xiao's mental power was poured into the stone tripod, the stone tripod emitted an extremely familiar wave.
"Perhaps, I can completely devour the stone tripod!"
Ling Xiao's mind moved, and the stone tripod was transformed by the majestic mental power, which was of the same origin as the Hunyuan Heart Pill Sutra. Ling Xiao didn't even need to refine it at all, and it could be directly integrated into his mind realm.
Refining this stone tripod might allow his mental strength to break through to the realm of sainthood more quickly.
However, the only thing he needs to worry about now is Danfu Mountain. Ling Xiao is sure that there must be a saint here watching his every move. If he refines the stone tripod, Danfu Mountain will definitely discover it.
"I can't care about so much! This is a great opportunity. If I don't take it, I will be blamed! At most, I will leave some of my energy behind!"
Ling Xiao's heart moved and he made a decision instantly.
Boom!
In Ling Xiao's eyes, golden flames suddenly burst out from the stone tripod, and then an incomparably vast and pure mental power surged out from the stone tripod, all flying towards Ling Xiao's mind realm.
…
Just when Ling Xiao was refining the stone cauldron, in a mysterious space on the seventh floor, an old man in a black robe had a gleam in his eyes. A hazy light appeared in front of his eyes, and the scene that appeared was Ling Xiao sitting cross-legged in front of the stone cauldron.
"This Zhao Ritian actually cultivated his mental power? To be able to shake the stone tripod, he must have inherited the Hunyuan Heart Pill Sutra, otherwise he would have no way to activate the mental power in the stone tripod! Could it be that the person who inherited the Hunyuan Pill Saint's legacy is really him?"
The old man in black robe showed a hint of shock in his eyes, and then became extremely excited.
"This Zhao Ritian must have a big secret. If you hadn't come to the seventh floor, I might not be able to do anything to you! It's a pity that you didn't take the road to heaven, and you broke into hell. In this case, then hand over all the secrets on you!"
A murderous look flashed in the eyes of the old man in black robe, and a black ancient stone appeared in his palm.
Boom!
The majestic divine power in the black-robed old man was poured into the black stone. The black stone burst into brilliant light and runes rose up. In an instant, powerful void fluctuations spread out and spread silently.
Ling Xiao, who was devouring the power in the stone tripod, suddenly felt a sense of crisis. Then, a blazing light burst out all around him, and runes rose up, gathering into an extremely terrifying holy formation that enveloped him.
"who?!"
Ling Xiao opened his eyes and stood up directly, his eyes full of vigilance.
Ninety percent of the tremendous mental strength in the stone tripod has been devoured by him. Ling Xiao's spiritual perception is extremely powerful. He was able to trap him with a powerful holy formation without making any sound. This can only mean that he is from Danfu Mountain!
Could it be that the saint of Danfu Mountain discovered that he was absorbing the holy power in the stone tripod, so he took action
Just as Ling Xiao was guessing in his heart, a light flashed in the void, and an incomparably vast holy power enveloped the void. An old man in a black robe appeared in the void, with a monstrous and unfathomable aura!
