Just now, it didn't even hear clearly what Li Yan said, "When we settle down in the future...", let alone understand the meaning of the words.
The little purple dragon elephant naturally didn't know that they were now in a different world, and that Li Yan had the same wandering life as it did.
Just when Li Yan felt something was wrong and wanted to take back the skull, the little purple dragon elephant suddenly stretched out its long trunk to block the skull that was quickly floating towards Li Yan.
Seeing this, Li Yan did not take it back forcibly, but frowned. It is said that cultivators will become ruthless, and that is a common phenomenon.
Although he himself has not done that now, it is okay to express such sentimental feelings when seeing something occasionally. A cultivator must be able to control his emotions.
Even if he didn't say this directly, the little purple dragon elephant would understand as long as he gave a hint in the past.
Otherwise, if you continue to sink, inner demons will slowly grow in your heart, and then no one will be able to save you, and your path to becoming an immortal will be ruined.
Seeing that Li Yan had retracted his hand and was looking at him quietly, the little purple dragon elephant quickly suppressed the emotions in his heart and took a long breath.
"Master, I can forge a physical body!"
Then its eyes looked again at the crystal skull gently blocked by its long nose.
Li Yan originally thought that the little purple dragon elephant had not gotten over his emotions and wanted to keep the fragment of the skull, but he was surprised by what it said.
He was totally unprepared, and even with his shrewdness, he couldn't help but blurt out what he said.
"You...what did you just say?"
"Master, I can forge a physical body now. Use it!"
The little purple dragon elephant took a deep breath and gently touched the crystal skull with its long trunk again.
But every time it touched, the purple lines on the crystal skull would begin to flicker, as if a heat wave was about to burst out again.
"With this... a few broken skulls, you can do it?"
Li Yan was sure that he had not heard wrong, but he was still a little confused and wanted to confirm it again.
He had long thought about how to help the little purple dragon elephant forge a physical body, and had read many classics for this purpose. In the end, he obtained three answers.
One way, of course, is to possess another body. Find another Purple Dragon Elephant and then possess its body.
The second kind is a strange fruit in the world, called "The Heaven-Stealing Reincarnation Fruit". Eating one can regenerate severed limbs and rebuild the body.
The third type is said to be that when one's cultivation reaches the Mahayana stage, one will also have supernatural powers that can change the world and can rebuild a person's body with just a wisp of soul.
For these three situations, for ordinary cultivators, as long as their souls are still there, they will basically choose the first method, and can only choose the first method.
Although it is not easy, if one's soul is strong or has the help of others, it is still very simple to take over another's body.
But for the little Purple Divine Dragon Elephant, this was undoubtedly as difficult as ascending to heaven. No one knew where the Purple Divine Dragon Elephant clan was in this world, at least no one Li Yan knew knew it.
Finding another Purple Divine Dragon Elephant would only depend on chance, and it would have to be a being whose soul was not as powerful as the little Purple Divine Dragon Elephant.
That is even more difficult. Even if it exists, such a weak Purple Dragon Elephant would definitely be a strictly guarded object in the Purple Dragon Elephant clan given the rarity of this clan.
If he wanted to hunt it down and take it away, Li Yan didn't know what level of cultivation he had to reach. Just thinking about it, Li Yan felt that the hope was extremely slim.
If there is still a glimmer of hope in possessing another's body, the latter two methods almost destroy all hopes of the cultivators.
As for the "Heaven-stealing Reincarnation Fruit", Li Yan checked many jade slips and classics, and only knew that this treasure might exist in the fairy world and the true fairy world. The reason why it is possible is because it is just a legend.
The classics couldn't even describe clearly what the "Heaven-Stealing Reincarnation Fruit" looked like. To Li Yan, this seemed like a deception.
Maybe it was just a kind of spiritual sustenance for beauty from some helpless monks after all their hopes were shattered. Even the "Heaven-Stealing Reincarnation Fruit" was fabricated out of thin air. Anyway, he was half-believing and half-doubting it.
As for the third possibility, Li Yan believes that the Mahayana stage is already the highest known realm in the cultivation of immortals. That person is already a true immortal, able to turn stones into gold and create space.
Although we cannot replace the old with the new, we should be able to bring the dead back to life.
But all those who practice Taoism know that practice is divided into Qi refining, foundation building, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, spirit transformation, refining emptiness, fusion, transcending tribulation, and Mahayana.
Li Yan has only reached the foundation stage in his cultivation. The distance between him and Mahayana is not a huge distance. It is simply the difference between heaven and earth.
Not to mention whether he can cultivate to the Mahayana stage, even if Li Yan can really cultivate to the Mahayana stage, whether the little purple dragon elephant can wait is another matter.
From this, Li Yan thought of his real master, Dong Fuyi. He had already cultivated to the fusion stage two million years ago. He didn't know what realm he had reached now. Maybe he had already reached the Mahayana stage.
But this is just a thought, and it can be regarded as a kind of hope.
The more you practice, the harder it becomes to break through. Even after a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand years, you may not be able to break through to a small realm.
Besides, where is Dong Fuyi now? Is she still alive? Li Yan knows nothing about it. The other party only used a wisp of consciousness to lead him into the gate of the fairyland, and then lost all contact.
This separation may mean that we will never have the chance to meet again.
With so many reasons, Li Yan knew how difficult it would be to rebuild the body of the Little Purple Divine Dragon Elephant.
But he would not give up. He just anticipated in his heart that this matter might take a long time, so long that he could not even imagine it.
But now the little purple dragon elephant suddenly told him that he could forge a physical body. This made Li Yan feel unbelievable. The most important thing was that all this happened so suddenly and easily. It was almost impossible. Li Yan just walked somewhere once. It was illusory, unreal, and fake...
For a moment, even with Li Yan's calmness, he felt that everything was too ridiculous.
"Yes, with this broken skull, I can create a body!
The Purple God Dragon Elephant clan inherited the legacy of the Fire God. Although they did not have the talent of rebirth by a drop of blood, they also had a bloodline inheritance similar to the Phoenix clan's rebirth from the fire.
However, the required conditions are more stringent. First of all, the body and bones that carry the soul do not have to be complete, but they must be at least two major realms higher.
Only in this way can the object carrying the load fully bear the power of burning the soul and refining fire.
Secondly, the more complete the object that the soul relies on is, the more difficult it will be to succeed, because it is not about rebuilding the body, but about taking over another body.
If the original soul of the carrier has long disappeared, it cannot even be considered as possession of another's body.
In addition, the more incomplete the carrier is, the more difficult it will be to succeed. This is because there are too few carriers to rely on, and the power that can be absorbed by burning the soul and refining the fire is less.
These are the two extremes. If there are too many or too few things to carry, there will be an impact!"
Having said that, the little purple dragon elephant looked at the skull carefully. The skull was half the size of Li Yan's body.
Logically speaking, it is already very large, but compared to a Purple Dragon Elephant, it is only a very small part of the body, even one that is still in the growth stage.
After hearing this, Li Yan finally came to his senses and thought about it.
"You didn't seem to have mentioned that your clan has this method to forge the body."
"Master, you never asked me before. I originally believed that as long as there were people of the same race within tens of thousands of miles, I would be able to sense them. This has nothing to do with spiritual awareness, it's just blood induction.
Therefore, with the master's current spiritual perception strength, he will not discover it earlier than me. Therefore, I want to tell the master only when I sense something.
But I never thought that I would sleep for so long, this time it was God's blessing."
The little purple dragon elephant turned around and looked at Li Yan again, his eyes full of gratitude.
In fact, there is another reason why it did not tell the method of rebuilding the body.
The Purple Dragon Elephant clan is an ancient ferocious beast. The reason why they are called ferocious beasts, in addition to their own ferocity, is often the meaning of being the overlord of a region, which also creates their arrogant and proud character.
This is also the reason why the Little Purple Divine Dragon Elephant calls the Snow Mosquito Clan "hooligans". Regardless of whether there is a noble blood inheritance in the Snow Mosquito King's bloodline, it is a mixture of multiple bloodlines.
In his opinion, there is no greater insult to a "person" than this.
Therefore, even though the little purple dragon elephant was subdued by Li Yan, the pride and self-esteem in its blood still existed.
Although it has a blood relationship with Li Yan and must obey Li Yan in many things, it wants to use its own talent to forge its own body one day.
This is very important to it, as it achieves this without any external help and is its pride.
Of course, if Li Yan asked this question, it would also tell him the answer.
But Li Yan believed that as a formation spirit, the little purple dragon elephant, especially since it had been sealed inside the formation since birth, certainly had limited knowledge about cultivating immortals, and everything depended on instinct and talent.
Therefore, this matter eventually became a problem that troubled Li Yan.
"this… "
Li Yan opened his mouth and found that it was true. It was as if he had never really discussed with the little purple dragon elephant about the matter of forging its physical body. Everything was planned by himself.
"According to what you just said, the body we need to rely on cannot be too big, nor can it be too incomplete. Then this skull is just the right size?"
"I don't know, maybe it's too small, but its level is definitely enough to carry my Soul Refining Fire..."
"Burning Soul Refining Fire, are you going to melt this skull?"
Li Yan frowned and said that he had just heard this word, but had no time to ask. He was very curious about the innate magical power of the little purple dragon elephant.
“No, in fact, this is what I mean by the really harsh conditions for forging a physical body.
To be precise, I placed my soul and body in this skull, "using the soul as the oil, the spirit as the core, and the skull as the seat", refining my own soul and spirit, and integrating them into this skull, making it a shell.
This is the main reason why the object of the carrier must be two realms higher than the soul-refining realm. If it is too fragile, it will melt and I will die immediately. It is actually just a shell that protects and nurtures my soul. "
"Use the soul as oil, the spirit as the core, and the skull as the seat! You want to ignite your own soul. This... I don't quite understand your method. I just want to ask you, what is the success rate and how long will it take?"
"I... I don't know how long it will take, let alone the chances of success.
But when the innate skill of 'Burning Soul Refining Fire' came to my mind, I was very scared, as if I might die immediately the moment I used it."
The little purple dragon elephant hesitated for a moment, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
Li Yan fell silent. Just by hearing the name of this innate skill, he could tell the pain involved.
There is an extremely cruel punishment among cultivators, which is also the main reason why cultivators are most reluctant to be captured, and that is - "extracting the soul and refining the spirit."
That kind of pain is extreme pain that comes from the depths of the soul. It is hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands times more miserable than the pain in the physical body. It is unimaginable.
The monks in the situation can only scream miserably and beg the other party to kill them immediately. How cruel it is that a person would rather die than endure the pain.
