In the Supreme Temple, Fang Lin sat cross-legged with an alchemy furnace placed in front of him.
This alchemy furnace is not the nine-treasure glazed cauldron that Fang Lin often uses, but it is also a fine cauldron. If it were placed outside, many alchemists would be interested in it.
But right now, Fang Lin doesn't want to use this alchemy furnace to refine elixirs, but to devour this alchemy furnace to practice the Nine Cauldrons Heavenly Jue.
At this moment, Fang Lin was in the ninth level of spiritual bone, one step away from the spiritual source. This step seemed very close, but in fact it was not.
One step away is as difficult as climbing to the sky for 99% of warriors.
Even for many geniuses, their cultivation progressed very quickly at the beginning, and they reached the spiritual bone realm. However, when they broke through the spiritual source, they encountered a bottleneck and were stuck here for more than ten or even decades.
Transforming inner strength into spiritual source is a very wonderful process. The birth of spiritual source is also accompanied by the further transformation of the physical body.
The biggest characteristic of a spiritual bone strongman is that he is physically strong and has a strong self-healing ability.
As for those with strong spiritual sources, in addition to the gap between their internal strength and their spiritual sources, the gap in their physical bodies is even greater.
For example, it is extremely difficult for people with strong spiritual bones to regenerate severed limbs. Unless they are people with very special physiques, they can barely do it.
But the spiritual source warrior is different. As long as the spiritual source is immortal, he can regenerate his severed limbs by consuming the spiritual source.
As long as you have enough cultivation and abundant spiritual energy, you can recover even if half of your body is cut off, but at most your vitality will be severely damaged.
Of course, this also depends on which half is cut off. If it is chopped off from head to toe and the head is split into two halves, then it will be impossible to die. No matter how much spiritual energy it has, it will not survive.
Injuries like a broken hand or leg are basically nothing to a spiritually powerful person.
Moreover, the lifespan of Lingyuan warriors is generally close to ten thousand years. As long as they are not seriously injured or do anything that reduces their lifespan, there is no big problem in living a stable life of ten thousand years.
But there are very few Lingyuan warriors who have truly lived for ten thousand years.
Some Lingyuan warriors could not even survive five thousand years and died early.
This is a very common thing, and to a certain extent it is also due to people's greed.
Stepping into the spiritual source, one has a long life span, but the longer one lives, the stronger the desire for life becomes.
There are people in this world who put life and death aside and don't care about the length of their lifespan, but the vast majority of people are unable to do this.
Even ordinary people who do not practice cultivation know that the older they get, the more afraid they are of death.
For Lingyuan warriors, they have long lifespans, extraordinary strength, and transcendent status. They enjoy all these and it is impossible to let them go.
Once a person dies, there is nothing.
Therefore, most spiritual masters will pursue a higher realm and want to get more longevity.
But after reaching the spiritual source realm, it is almost impossible to go one step further and step into the ranks of immortals.
In order to live forever, Lingyuan warriors search for treasures from heaven and earth and seize other people's elixirs. They are constantly in conflict with each other and are more dangerous than low-level warriors.
It often happens that a spiritual source warrior kills another spiritual source warrior and seizes the other person's spiritual source.
Because the spiritual source is compatible and can be refined and absorbed, weak spiritual source warriors are often killed by powerful spiritual source warriors, and their spiritual source is sucked away.
Among those who stand at the pinnacle of the spiritual source, which one has not absorbed the spiritual source of others
The competition and survival among Lingyuan warriors vividly embodies the law of the jungle and the strong.
There was too much competition and plunder, so most Lingyuan warriors died early. Only the truly ruthless and powerful with overwhelming opportunities could survive longer and pursue a higher realm.
In Fang Lin's previous life, Lingyuan warriors could be said to be everywhere, but there were very few who could stand out among the many Lingyuan warriors.
Immortality is not so easy to achieve.
At the moment, Fang Lin is still very far away from being an immortal, and has not even entered the spiritual source realm. However, Fang Lin once stood at the top in his previous life, and even if he was not the best in the world, he was definitely a first-rate master.
Fang Lin is very aware of the cruelty of the Lingyuan realm, and now that the war between the Nine Kingdoms and the Seven Seas has broken out, once he steps into the Lingyuan realm, he will most likely be directly involved.
In the realm of Lingyuan, one can already be regarded as a strong man in this era, especially a genius like Fang Lin. If he achieves Lingyuan at such a young age, he will have more prospects than ordinary Lingyuan warriors.
According to Fang Lin's original plan, there was no need to be in such a hurry to enter the spiritual source. He could just delay it and accumulate more.
However, Fang Lin still underestimated the improvement of his strength. In addition, the opponents he faced were getting stronger and stronger, and the realm of the ninth level of spiritual bone was far from satisfying Fang Lin.
Devouring the treasure cauldron and improving one's realm is more efficient than ordinary practice.
The cauldron energy in the cauldron was continuously swallowed and absorbed by Fang Lin. As the cauldron energy entered Fang Lin's body, Fang Lin's realm continued to improve.
The cauldron energy of a precious cauldron is very huge, but Fang Lin's current state is not weak, and the operation of the Jiuding Tongtian Jue is also amazing, and the speed of absorption is very fast.
Three days later, all the energy of this precious tripod was sucked away by Fang Lin.
The treasure tripod became a useless tripod, full of cracks, and it seemed that it would completely shatter if touched.
Fang Lin was not able to break through to the spiritual source realm, but was at the peak of the ninth level of spiritual bone, still half a step away from the spiritual source.
That is equivalent to the realm of Yin Wuyan and Qin Guanyue.
"Do you want to step into the spiritual source in one go?" The old mummy made a voice.
Fang Lin pondered for a moment and said: "I am confident that I can directly step into the spiritual source, but is it appropriate now?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's suitable or not. It all depends on how you feel. Anyway, one step earlier and one step later doesn't make much difference." The old mummy said.
Fang Lin shook his head: "When I step into the spiritual source later, I can accumulate more. By then, with my accumulation, my strength will increase even more. If I step into the spiritual source now, my strength may not reach its peak. "
"Then as you say, let's step into the spiritual source later." The old mummy said.
Fang Lin was a little confused, thought for a long time, and finally stopped practicing.
"Delay it for a while longer. If you really can't step into the spiritual source again, don't rush it." Fang Lin said.
Boom~~
There was a loud noise, and Fang Lin moved and appeared in the main hall, just in time to see the demon puppet smash the black light protecting Qin Guanyue into pieces.
Qin Guanyue's face was pale, and there was a hint of despair in her eyes.
"Hey, Qin, you're going to be doomed now." Fang Lin walked over with a sinister smile on his face.
