Li Yan was savoring the blow just now.
"As expected, the 'Sacred Soul Transformation' technique automatically broke through to the fifth level after sensing the 'Soul Star'. This also allowed me to successfully reach the late Nascent Soul stage in just a moment..."
Li Yan felt the solidity of the fusion of soul and spirit, and he was already very happy in his heart.
"Holy Soul Transformation" levels one to four correspond to the practice from Qi Condensation to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
Due to the peculiarity of the late Nascent Soul's comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth, this is almost a watershed for any kind of cultivator at this level. Therefore, the fifth level of "Holy Soul Transformation" only corresponds to the late Nascent Soul.
Li Yan only spent one day to practice the first three levels. That was because the "Soul Condensation Technique" he practiced in the early stage had already reached this level.
Li Yan opened up all the acupoints and tendons required for the first four levels of "Holy Soul Transformation" within one day. Some of these places had already been opened up because of Li Yan's practice of other skills.
Some acupoints and small tendon branches are located in remote locations in the body and are easily overlooked, but they are not major acupoints or main tendons, so it is very easy to open them.
The most critical step here is to connect these acupoints through the exercises, so that the soul power flows along different tendons and veins in a certain route. This is the key role of the exercises.
Next, Li Yan's body remained motionless, but the soul power in his body was constantly changing quietly, and he launched several attacks in succession.
Although he didn't use his full strength, the final result made Li Yan burst into laughter.
After Li Yan calmed down, his soul finally returned to its place. He then asked about the "Tiger-Eating Gu" and was sure that it had only taken him thirty-three years to complete his cultivation.
And in his perception, it seemed that almost sixty years had passed.
"Hmm? It only took thirty-three years. Didn't Tang Feng say that practicing this technique is very difficult? It took him only thirty-three years to reach the late Nascent Soul stage. It's not that difficult...
Could it be that this phenomenon occurred because I had already cultivated other soul cultivation techniques to the Nascent Soul stage before switching to this technique, and my own realm was already in the late Nascent Soul stage?"
After Li Yan knew the time, he thought of what the man named Tang Feng said. He felt that the other party would not deceive him alone on such a matter. It was meaningless at all.
This technique is not some secret art, it is just placed there.
I completed it within one day and broke through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul. It was a natural feeling brought about by the "Soul Condensation Technique".
But it took him several decades to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage, and most of his time was spent on condensing the "ghost spirit".
"Regarding some matters about this technique, when you have time, you should ask other people about it, or ask Tang Feng directly about the situation of other people practicing the 'Sacred Soul Transformation' technique, so that you can have a comparison!"
After thinking for a while, Li Yan continued to review his cultivation process over the years and found out some problems in his cultivation, leaving them for further study.
After completing these things, several days had already passed. As the saying goes, there is no time in cultivation.
On this day, Li Yan, who had been sitting in meditation for decades, stood up. After reaching a certain stage in his practice, he would not make much progress even if he continued to practice hard.
As for the rest of his dual cultivation techniques for both his magic and body, whether it was the "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique" or the "Guishui Sutra", Li Yan had not been able to practice them seriously over the years, let alone break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Li Yan was also very troubled by these things. Of course, he was willing to practice the soul cultivation technique, which would greatly enhance his strength.
However, after practicing many techniques, the disadvantages of practicing both the Dharma and the body became apparent, and he did not have enough time. He practiced two Dharma techniques, and both were extreme alternative techniques among Dharma techniques.
But he just couldn't find the time to practice the "Guishui Sutra". In the "Earth Realm", the first thing he had to do was to keep himself alive.
It is impossible to ignore everything and continue to practice other skills. If I do that, I will really become an "evil spirit cultivator".
However, the practice of soul cultivation techniques also played a huge role in his breakthrough to the Spirit Transformation Realm, which was a benefit that could not be obtained through normal practice.
His soul cultivation realm broke through to the late Nascent Soul Realm, and Li Yan had a new understanding of the power of the five elements. Those star powers contained the complex avenues of wood and water.
This allowed Li Yan to make significant improvements in his own Taoism.
For example, the self-healing ability of the Immortal Dark Phoenix's blood essence has been further understood. The Immortal Dark Phoenix itself is an alien species from heaven and earth. They rely on their powerful physical bodies to roam the world.
Li Yan now believes that the Immortal Dark Phoenix itself possesses the top power of the gold and wood laws. The gold law can make the Immortal Dark Phoenix's body like a sword that can split the sky and tear apart all other laws' protection.
The law of wood can give their bodies extremely powerful and infinite vitality. This is a law of life.
The intensity of this vitality exceeds the normal laws of darkness and reincarnation, so it can override them and give people a feeling of almost immortality.
Of course, this is only under normal circumstances. If they really suffer a fatal attack in an instant, the wood element law in their bodies will not have time to be born, and their lives will end because their souls and bodies will be destroyed instantly.
Li Yan thought that the innate magical power of the Immortal Dark Phoenix should only be integrated into the physical body in the early stage, and only after it grows to a certain extent.
For example, when they reach the Mahayana stage, their souls will be deeply integrated into the wood law, that is, the law of life. At that time, it will become almost impossible to kill them.
The power of those stars is mainly composed of water and wood. Li Yanben's spiritual root is mainly water, which makes him feel familiar with his natal "Soul Star".
After that tremendous vitality force was injected into his body, Li Yan felt a layer of barrier appear in front of him.
From that moment on, the blood and essence in his body began to fluctuate in a peculiar rhythm, as if responding to some law of the outside world.
This had never happened before. In the past, Li Yan's essence and blood were activated mostly after he was seriously injured, and his self-healing body would appear passively.
This was the first time that Li Yan sensed that after an unknown membrane appeared, there was a vibrant vitality behind it, but when he tried to break the membrane, he found that the membrane had "disappeared".
This kind of "disappearance" is not a real disappearance, but Li Yan cannot grasp it, touch it, or find its location.
In fact, in his perception, the barrier was still there, but it was a vague and elusive feeling. At this point, Li Yan knew that he could no longer practice hard.
Moreover, he has now entered the late stage of the Nascent Soul. Next, he needs to rest for a while to withdraw his thoughts from cultivation.
It's like exiting an alley or a dead end, and only after you look at everything around you again, you may have new understandings and new feelings.
Although Li Yan would also go into seclusion for a long time, he would never do it in seclusion for a long time. He valued his own feeling of cultivation more.
After Li Yan came out of the training room, he immediately washed up, then went into the lounge and fell directly on the bed. Not long after, he fell into a deep sleep.
He slept for four days before waking up. Li Yan sat up and felt refreshed.
He stretched himself lazily, looked out the window and saw that it was almost noon, then Li Yan got out of bed, pushed the door open, and flew outside...
In the following days, Li Yan, who had not been seen for decades, began to appear in the Zhenhun Palace. In addition to the Dharma Transmission Pavilion, he also went to the Mission Hall to check out the various tasks there.
After looking at the Nascent Soul level tasks, Li Yan felt that the difficulty was above average for him. It was dangerous, but it would not pose a fatal threat to him.
It seems that he will still need to spend a lot of time to complete the five tasks.
After he looked at all the tasks, he planned to take on another task after finishing some other things.
After that, Li Yan's figure appeared frequently in various places in the sect. His purpose at this time was only one, to inquire about the news leading to the outside world.
This was the first thing he needed to deal with after he got his feet on the ground.
The Zhenhun Palace has been established for so many years, and this kind of news is already an ancient thing, so a lot of information will definitely be leaked.
On this day, in the living room of a cave, Li Yan was sitting across the table from a handsome young man.
There are two cups of tea on the table, exuding a faint but lingering fragrance in the mist.
When these aromas enter the body, it feels like every pore from the inside out is opened, making one feel extremely comfortable.
"Fellow Daoist Tang, it's a bit abrupt for me to come and disturb you today! I'm new to the sect, and I don't know many people. I've only met Fellow Daoist Tang."
Li Yan said. "Hehehe... Fellow Daoist Li, why are you so polite? You and I are from the same sect, and we belong to the same hall.
I was able to meet you twice on the first day you entered the sect. Even if we talk about cause and effect, you and I should be as close as possible.
To be honest, I have stopped in front of my fellow Taoist’s door several times over the years, thinking of discussing Taoism and drinking with him.
But after knocking on the door, I got no response, so I had to give up. It seems that fellow Taoist is really devoted to Taoism, and he has been in seclusion for more than 30 years!"
"Oh? Then it is Li who is being rude..."
Next, after having a topic to talk about, the two began to chat with each other.
Tang Feng was also a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. After the two of them had a conversation, they both felt that they had quite a good rapport.
However, Li Yan was already quite proficient in soul cultivation techniques at this time, and he only showed his cultivation level at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
What surprised Tang Feng was that Li Yan seemed to be very knowledgeable. Some of the things he said were things he had never heard of before.
This made him sigh inwardly. He had been trapped in the sect for all these years due to various entanglements. It seemed that the independent cultivators really traveled all over the world and had extensive knowledge, which was really enviable.
Especially when the two discussed some techniques, Tang Feng felt that his horizons were broadened and he felt that Li Yan must have fought with different kinds of cultivators.
Often just one sentence from the other party could make Tang Feng feel suddenly enlightened and his eyes brightened, making him sigh that magic could be used in this way.
How could he know that Li Yan was not like him. Li Yan had fought his way up almost entirely, and the variety of cultivators he met was beyond his imagination.
In addition, Li Yan's way of cultivation is very wild. After being divided into major categories, among all the ways of cultivation, perhaps only the ghost cultivation method is missing, which he has not practiced.
Therefore, once Li Yan discussed the Dao with him, although on the surface he was discussing the Dao of soul cultivation, often for a problem, he would instantly consider how to deal with various types of exercises, how to attack, and so on.
This really benefited Tang Feng a lot, and he felt that he had met Li Yan too late.
He had this feeling that Li Yan also gained a lot from him. With Li Yan's intelligence, how could he do a business that would lose money
Tang Feng is just a Nascent Soul cultivator who specializes in the cultivation of the soul. He has done in-depth research on all kinds of souls, but he has never seen a cultivator of this type.
But Li Yan would definitely only say what he could say after careful consideration. He didn't want to arouse suspicion from others, as that would be a case of excessive joy leading to sorrow.
Tang Feng's experience in soul cultivation is simply incomparable to that of Li Yan, a fledgling in his decades of experience.
Li Yan was able to cultivate to this level so quickly only because of the strong foundation of his soul power. The experiences of other soul cultivators were far behind Tang Feng.
Therefore, during these exchanges, Li Yan also got answers to many questions he encountered in cultivation, and even had a sense of learning by analogy.
At the same time, Li Yan also indirectly learned some information about the monks who practiced "Holy Soul Transformation" from Tang Feng.
Most of the things were similar to what he guessed. Among those cultivators, in addition to the disciples who grew up in Zhenhun Palace, there were also people who had similar experiences as him. Most of these people joined the sect with skills.
They also switched from practicing other techniques to cultivate "Holy Soul Transformation". These people often practiced very quickly in the early stages, but slowed down later on.
In the end, he could not make any progress for decades or even hundreds of years, and had to switch to other techniques again.
But after Li Yan secretly compared it, he found that compared with those people Tang Feng mentioned, it seemed that his later cultivation speed was still much faster than theirs.
Take one of the cultivators, for example, who switched to practicing "Holy Soul Transformation" when he was in the Nascent Soul stage. He switched to practicing it when he was in the middle Nascent Soul stage.
However, it took the other party seventy years to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage, which was more than twice the time he took. Since then, that person has been stuck in the late Nascent Soul stage.
Hundreds of years later, he found that his progress in the late Nascent Soul stage was slower than a snail. If he wanted to advance to the God Transformation stage, at that speed, he might only be able to pass away in the Nascent Soul stage.
Finally, he had to switch to other techniques. More than a hundred years later, he successfully broke through to the Spirit Transformation Realm. This should have been due to his accumulated experience.
Li Yan has just broken through the realm of soul cultivation, so he doesn’t know what will happen to him in the future, but Li Yan doesn’t take it too seriously.
Unless there are special reasons in the future, it is more than 80% likely that Li Yan will not use soul cultivation techniques to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Among the three kinds of skills, the weakest is the soul cultivation one. His main skill is the Guishui Sutra. That skill has always helped him advance smoothly and it will definitely remain his main skill in the future.
After inquiring about such things, he should just write them down so that he can have a clear idea of them. However, he also knew that the affairs of the world could not be changed by his will, and the plan was just a plan.
Li Yan is not an inflexible person. Instead, he is more like a monster that is good at changing color. When change is really necessary, he will choose the flexible path without hesitation.
Just like that, after Li Yan came to Tang Feng's place, the two of them started to interact more frequently.
Li Yan was also among them, and slowly began to inquire about the news leading to the outside world. This was actually his main purpose.
After getting familiar with Tang Feng, the two of them started talking more casually, so Li Yan's inquiries were also carried out in a seemingly casual manner, and Tang Feng would not have any doubts at all.
In fact, among all the cultivators living in the "Earthly Realm", who wouldn't want to go out and see the outside world, or find the entrance and seal it up to prevent those "evil cultivators" from taking advantage of the opportunity
Therefore, among friends, this kind of thing may be mentioned occasionally during conversations on a daily basis, and it is not a big deal.
After some communication, Li Yan was frustrated that he couldn't get any breakthrough from the information he heard from Tang Feng.
The Zhenhun Palace has also been searching for a way out, but there has never been any news that any clues have been found.
Otherwise, the two combined supreme ancestors would not have thought of using their powerful strength to forcibly break the ban after breaking through to the Tribulation Period.
After slowly confirming the news, Li Yan felt depressed, but what else could he do
After some time passed, Li Yan planned to go to the Mission Hall to take on a mission. After completing this mission, he would continue to retreat for a while.
Early in the morning of that day, when Li Yan was about to go out, Tang Feng's clear voice suddenly came from outside.
"Is Fellow Daoist Li here?"
After hearing this, Li Yan paused, smiled, and gently waved his sleeves, and the gate to the courtyard opened.
"Fellow Daoist Tang, please come in!"
As the formation restriction was opened, Tang Feng's tall figure stepped into the courtyard.
As soon as the other party entered the courtyard, he saw Li Yan standing in the courtyard, and Tang Feng immediately smiled.
"Hey, Brother Li, are you going out?"
"Hehe, I plan to go to the Mission Hall to take a look. After all, I haven't completed one of the hundred-year missions yet."
"It's only been more than 30 years, but others only start to get anxious after more than 60 years!"
Tang Feng said casually.
"There is no limit to this. I am not like Fellow Daoist Tang. Remember you said that you still have two tasks of your hundred-year mission to complete. You are like a full man who does not know the hunger of a hungry man.
By the way, since Fellow Daoist Tang is here, let’s not talk about Taoism for now. Why don’t we go to the Mission Hall together and see what happens? If there are suitable multiplayer missions, we can discuss them.”
Li Yan looked at the sun that had just risen in the sky. Tang Feng was free today and came here early in the morning.
"Excellent, excellent! What Fellow Daoist Li mentioned is indeed feasible!
However, we can talk about this later. I came to see you, fellow Taoist, to ask if you are free. How about we go to a place in the sect to have a look?"
