As Li Yan's cultivation continued to grow in the later period, he no longer needed to be so careful when refining again, so he refined it with half a drop or a whole drop in the later period.
When he refined the first few drops of essence and blood, he did it drop by drop and there was no abnormality. However, when the eighth drop entered his body, unexpected problems arose.
Li Yan suddenly realized at this moment that it might be because he had practiced several of the most powerful martial arts in the world and his cultivation was not weak. After the essence and blood were integrated into himself, it had not yet reached its most full state.
Refining the essence and blood of others is a slow fusion process. Li Yan's practice has been very smooth over the years, which made him gradually feel that refining essence and blood is a very easy thing.
However, there will always be a point in the integration of external forces, and it is impossible to integrate other people's forces indefinitely.
If Li Yan continued to refine it bit by bit using the terrazzo method, as his strength slowly increased, that node would be continuously improved, allowing him to integrate more external forces.
But after refining whole drops at once again and again, a phenomenon that could not be suppressed appeared.
The power in this drop of essence blood could not be integrated into Li Yan's blood in a short period of time. The excess powerful force began to expand in his tendons, veins, and flesh like air.
Li Yan's flesh and blood were actually separated from his bones. This was because the power in his body was too great.
Although the tremendous pain almost broke Li Yan's nerves, the strong endurance he had developed from long-term practice of body refining techniques was demonstrated at this moment.
Li Yan forced himself to suppress the piercing pain and began to practice the Guishui Sutra frantically. However, at this moment, every time that magical power moved forward an inch in his tendons and veins, Li Yan felt a tearing feeling as if it was about to break.
This caused his pain to continue to intensify and increase, impacting his soul again and again.
Li Yan's forehead was covered with sweat, but he still gritted his teeth and practiced his skills bit by bit.
He knew that if he could not refine this drop of essence and blood, his flesh and blood might be washed away from his body at any time, and even his bones might be broken and turned into debris on the ground.
Just as Li Yan's magic power was advancing bit by bit and his teeth were chattering in pain, suddenly, a ball of light burst out from the golden Yuanying figurine in his Dantian.
At the same time, the green line on the right arm, the red line on the right leg, and the yellow line on the left leg began to jump continuously, and the wood, fire, and earth spiritual powers on the Yuanying figure began to flow out continuously.
The next moment, it gathered into Li Yan's circulating magic power. The magic power in Li Yan's Dantian usually exists in the state of Guishui because of the Guishui Sutra.
This will allow him to use more pure and powerful power when casting ordinary water-based spells or the magic of the Guishui Immortal Sect.
Unless he deliberately converts it into magic power of a certain attribute, such as using fire spiritual power to cast a fireball, the fireball spell cast will still be composed of Guishui magic power, but the power of the fire will be much less.
When the wood, fire and earth spiritual powers of the Yuanying figurine exploded and merged into the Guishui magic power, Li Yan's Guishui magic power actually began to convert and divert on its own and merged into the three spiritual powers.
At this moment, it seemed as if Li Yan's Dantian was a huge river with a gap in the river, and the Gui water kept flowing out. And at the gap, there was a golden little man guiding the Gui water.
In an instant, the black spiritual power turned into three torrents of green, red and yellow. The three colors formed a triangular cone in front, rushing out with unstoppable force.
Wherever the green wood spiritual power passes, it will cover the flesh and bones, and then seep into the bones that have already cracked, repairing those cracks.
At the same time, the yellow earth spiritual power formed a layer of protection on the surface of the bones, blocking the powerful impact force coming from the flesh and blood.
Then the flesh and blood that had been peeled off and rose up began to "fall down" again, slowly sticking to the bones and reattaching themselves to them.
The red spiritual power was like the sharpest cone head. With this spiritual power, it no longer advanced inch by inch, but whizzed through the tendons and veins. The power of fences rose in the blood and essence, and holes were drilled in an instant...
At this moment, Li Yan felt a wave of coolness coming from the wounds, and some inexplicable thoughts suddenly emerged in Li Yan's mind.
But he was still subconsciously refining the essence and blood of the "Immortal Dark Phoenix" while circulating his Qi in order to prevent himself from exploding.
It was just a part of his thoughts, but it had already drifted away in a dizziness, feeling the feelings brought by the green wood spiritual power, red fire spiritual power and yellow earth spiritual power.
Gradually, Li Yan gained new insights into the surging spiritual power, instead of the vague understanding he had before about the other four types of spiritual power.
The five elements are conceived and born. The life of heaven and earth is born from wood, has roots because of soil, has spirit because of water, has soul because of fire, and has energy because of metal.
Every time the five elements rotate, it represents the change of seasons, the waxing and waning of the moon, the cycle of heaven and earth, and the transformation of the power of rules...
A roaring sound gradually appeared in Li Yan's head, and the sound became louder and louder, until it filled his entire mind and was deafening.
The pain in his body had disappeared, and his aura was rising steadily. That was the growth brought about by his state of mind...
"boom!"
An unknown amount of time had passed, but suddenly a black water pattern appeared on Li Yan's forehead with his eyes closed. The water pattern was shaped like the seal character "川". The moment it appeared, it rippled like flowing water.
At the same time, a muffled sound erupted from Li Yan's body again, and Li Yan's body shook violently. Then, his aura rose again, all the way up, and continued to climb...
Nine days later, Li Yan, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, the water mark in the middle of his forehead disappeared instantly, but Li Yan knew nothing about it.
But at this moment, a smile appeared in his eyes. He finally broke through to the late Nascent Soul stage. Feeling the unspeakable power in his body, two rays of light burst out of Li Yan's eyes.
“The Five Elements have no fixed pattern. I may have paid too much attention to the techniques I practiced before, thinking that the Guishui Sutra was based on the water spirit root, otherwise it would not be divided into five sects.
But I was wrong. The true meaning of the Five Immortals Gate is to use your strongest spiritual root as the root, and in the endless cycle of the five elements, let the five attributes achieve the most perfect balance, rather than highlighting the strength of a certain attribute.
Simply achieving a balance among the five attributes should only be the beginning. Ultimately, one must be able to transform the five elements smoothly. Moreover, between heaven and earth, no plant or creature can survive by relying on a single attribute.
Even in extreme places like the Black Demon Clan's 'Demon Swallowing Abyss', the demon plants inside can only survive on demonic energy, and also need water, soil, and even fire.
This means that gold, wood, water, fire and earth seem to be in an endless cycle, and only one of each group can appear at a time. But in fact, when there is water, one of the other attributes will also appear, or even all five elements will appear at the same time.
This is the true rule of heaven and earth of the Five Elements. Everything will turn into its opposite when it reaches its extreme. A single attribute will go to the extreme, just like a sharp sword, which is easy to break if it is too rigid.
Senior sister’s three spiritual roots are the most stable of her cultivation attributes. This stability is also a special form of the five elements. I can feel that when these three elements are in a stable state, the power they burst out complements each other... "
Li Yan felt the control of other forces of the Five Elements World, and Li Yan believed that these were still just superficial. Although he now felt that being able to see through these was actually nothing great.
But before the late Nascent Soul stage, even if he knew, he could not understand and use it. Today, he is still the most proficient in water power, and the power of wood, fire, and earth has increased simultaneously, which makes him slowly have a new understanding of the laws of these four attributes, and begin to integrate them. The weakest is the gold power.
Li Yan had this thought in mind. He gently raised his hand and pointed towards the void in front of him. A black drop of water the size of a bean appeared in front of him.
This was exactly the drop of "Nine Ding Gui Water" that he had condensed through hard practice, and then the magic power that was supporting the drop of water was withdrawn.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the cave where Li Yan was in retreat shook violently, and the surrounding formations and restrictions also flashed with light, finally blocking the movement here.
Afterwards, the drop of water smashed the ground in front of Li Yan, creating a deep pit as big as a head. When it penetrated dozens of feet into the ground, Li Yan called it back with magic power.
Looking at the black water drop in his hand, Li Yan used his magic power to loosen his hand again. A layer of yellow light appeared on the surface of the black water drop and it fell to the ground again.
Another loud noise was heard, and this time the cave shook even more violently. Next to the head-sized deep pit in front of Li Yan, a black hole as big as a washbasin appeared.
The drop of water with a yellow glow on its surface disappeared again, sank into the ground for a distance, and was recalled by Li Yan again. The moment the drop of water fell into Li Yan's palm, a strange light flashed in Li Yan's eyes.
Then, the yellow light on the surface of the black water drop in the palm of his hand faded away, and a layer of white appeared, and then Li Yan gently threw it forward.
"go!"
With a light shout, the water droplets fell rapidly again and soon approached the ground, but this time only a light "hiss" sound was heard, and a small hole the size of a bean appeared next to the two pits.
If you don't look carefully, you won't notice the existence of the small hole at all.
The next moment, Li Yan stretched out his hand again, and with a flash of white light, the drop of water flew out from the ground and fell back into Li Yan's palm again.
Li Yan looked at the "Nine Dings of Gui Water" in his palm and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"The same drop of 'Nine Ding Gui Water' shows different powers. I have had this idea before. After trying many times, the fusion of several systems was not ideal.
At the time, I thought this was the magic of the Guishui Immortal Sect, and it could only be activated by the Guishui magic power to exert its true power..."
Li Yan had just used the "Nine Cauldrons of Guishui" three times. The first time was the pure weight of the "Nine Cauldrons of Guishui" itself. When it hit the ground, a deep pit the size of a head appeared;
The second time Li Yan performed it, he used the power of the law that he had just realized, and integrated a stream of earth-related spiritual power into it, and he created a deep pit the size of a washbasin.
Moreover, when Li Yan recalled it, the drop of "Nine Ding Gui Water" was still sinking at a very fast speed.
In Li Yan's consciousness, the speed and sinking force of the water droplets increased by 40%, which almost increased the weight of a drop of "Nine Ding Gui Water" by half.
However, when Li Yan poured earth-type spiritual power into his palm, he did not feel any increase in weight at that time. Instead, there was a change only after it was smashed out. This should be because the two forces were superimposed when the water droplets were running in an extremely dynamic state.
The third time, Li Yan infused it with a golden force, which was the weakest force he had comprehended at present. But even so, after comprehending the fusion of different forces.
This time, the drop of "Nine Ding Gui Water" that was fused with the power of gold fell to the ground with almost no sound.
Its sinking speed was very high in the early stage. When Li Yan tried to recall it the next moment, the drop of water had already entered the ground more than 70 feet. It was incredibly fast and reached that depth almost instantly.
But Li Yan also clearly felt that the speed of the water droplets was rapidly decreasing, and 70% of its power was consumed in just half a breath.
Li Yan guessed that this result was either due to his insufficient understanding of the power of gold, or due to the characteristics of the power of gold, which could not be sustained for too long.
Li Yan had had this thought when he was practicing the "Nine Ding Gui Shui" technique diligently.
However, when he tried to infuse other attributes of magic power into a drop of "Nine Dings Gui Water" after summoning it, that drop of "Nine Dings Gui Water" either dispersed in an instant or became mottled, resulting in uneven distribution of the power inside.
There was a feeling that it would collapse at any time, making it difficult for Li Yan to condense the true power of "Nine Dings of Gui Water", and the force of his attack was greatly reduced.
After many attempts, Li Yan believed that this technique could only be activated using the power of Guishui. This was the orthodox way of performing the technique. The magic of the Guishui Immortal Sect could not be used by other sects.
After trying again today, one drop of "Nine Ding Gui Water" has produced various changes.
After using only Guishui mana to activate it, there is no change in the power compared to the daily sacrifice, but after using a little bit of rule power, adding earth-type spiritual power doubles the weight, making it more suitable for winning by force;
After attaching the gold spiritual power, the attack speed increased significantly, and it was unstoppable, but the stamina was insufficient, and it lacked the endless feeling when the Guishui magic power was activated.
"This is the power of the law. Unfortunately, my 'Soul-pulling and Killing' should be related to the supreme law of life, but this time when I advanced to the next level of comprehension, it has nothing to do with this rule!"
Although Li Yan had advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage, he still felt a little amused and depressed.
Because, this promotion should be related to Gong Chenying's three spiritual roots, but the other party does not have water spiritual roots.
This meant that Li Yan, who originally had water spiritual roots and practiced water-based techniques, was able to break through the shackles by relying on the triple perception of wood, fire, and earth.
Moreover, among these insights, he only understood the integration of the five elements, which is not a fixed level, but he did not have any deeper insights.
The power of a technique like "Pulling Souls and Leading to Killing" is unquestionable. It attacks the souls of living beings, making it hard to defend against. It is very vicious and even against the way of heaven.
Li Yan knew that this should belong to the law of life. As for the law of life, the classics that Li Yan could see recorded that it was related to the attributes of wood and water.
Although there was wood attribute in his perception this time, he did not have further enlightenment in the end, let alone a deep comprehension and improvement of this technique.
If he could comprehend a little bit of the law of life, then Li Yan's "Soul-pulling and Killing" would have an incredible improvement.
It was not like the last time when he dealt with the Grand Elder of "Qionglin Sect", where he relied on chance in the end and failed to pull out the opponent's "human soul!", which led to the second round of hard battle, which almost killed him and Gong Shanhe.
"Why did the records of the Three Talents Spiritual Roots get lost in the end? They are not more numerous than the Holy Spirit Roots, but the benefits of the Holy Spirit Roots and some related techniques have been passed down..."
Li Yan thought to himself that there must be special techniques in this world for cultivating the three spiritual roots. If he could obtain them, it would definitely have a very important impact on Gong Chenying.
