#390 - Plan to start crossing the sea
As he comprehended this technique, a peculiar energy flowed from within his body.
As the creator of this technique, he naturally gave it a name.
Instantly, seven flying swords rapidly rotated around him, and upon activation, that power erupted like a bright light appearing in the darkness.
Li Chengfeng laughed incessantly because of this, not only thoroughly comprehending his own technique and creating the Nine Yuan Nirvana Art, but also unexpectedly perfecting another spell— "Blood Sea Waves Rise to the Nether Moon, Seven Swords Reaping Souls Break Ten Thousand Miles."
Blood Radiance Art!
Li Chengfeng performed the hand seals, and the magical power within his body surged. Instantly, an illusion of a rolling sea of blood appeared in front of him, followed by a bright moon suddenly rising from the blood sea. Immediately afterward, seven flying swords pierced through the void, pointing towards ten thousand miles away, and wherever the bright moon illuminated, it was enveloped by the sword light.
The artistic conception of this spell was dreamlike and illusory, and its power was so great that it could instantly kill a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Great Perfection realm.
It integrated illusion techniques and attacks into one, and although Li Chengfeng was only in the initial stages of formation, it already showed extraordinary potential. Of course, the 'ten thousand miles' here was just an exaggeration; its coverage area was the range of Li Chengfeng's divine sense. Beyond the range of his divine sense, it lost its power.
Naturally, as Li Chengfeng's strength grew stronger and his divine sense range became wider, its power would also become greater. This was a growth-type spell, rich in Dao rhythm.
He nodded with satisfaction. Calculating the time, four years had already passed, and there was still one year left before the Xuan Guang Continent trip. He was not in a hurry; on the contrary, his enemies were anxious.
Therefore, he continued to cultivate, stabilize his realm, and took out countless natural treasures from his storage ring to begin deducing the Nine Yuan Pill's recipe.
He deeply knew that ordinary pills were difficult to help him improve, and only pills that conformed to his own techniques could be effective.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and the recipe for the Nine Yuan Pill was finally successfully deduced by him.
Under Li Chengfeng's spell control, the pill furnace opened, and a rich medicinal fragrance permeated the air.
His divine sense transformed into a giant hand, gently taking out the pills from the furnace. There were a total of nine pills, each one crystal clear, emitting nine-colored light, and exquisitely beautiful.
He immediately took one pill and then began to cultivate according to the Nine Yuan Nirvana Technique.
At this moment, the nine rotating vortexes within his dantian instantly absorbed the nine pills and quickly began to transform them.
He was experienced, and after the process, he found that his magical power had slightly increased.
Therefore, he once again took out precious pills. Unlike ordinary people who only took one pill at a time, he needed to take nine pills simultaneously, corresponding to the nine vortexes in his dantian.
This was precisely the unique aspect of his self-created technique, which could rapidly refine pills and absorb medicinal power. He would even first use the method of drawing firewood from under the cauldron to extract two-tenths of the medicinal effects from the pills, further accelerating the cultivation process.
The two complemented each other, making Li Chengfeng's cultivation speed quite considerable.
However, on the path of cultivation, resources were particularly crucial, especially the various medicinal materials and auxiliary magical treasures needed to refine pills. These were precisely what he urgently needed.
Unfortunately, ordinary sects could hardly afford his massive resource consumption, forcing him to venture out on his own to earn what he needed.
Currently, the Demon race was wreaking havoc in the Xuan Guang Continent, and the political situation had also become an opportunity for him to improve his strength.
The nine pills he refined could be completely refined in just one hour. According to this calculation, he could complete multiple cultivation cycles within a day, provided that the pills were sufficient.
But this was obviously a challenge. The cost of each pill was as high as ten middle-grade spirit stones, which accumulated to a staggering expense.
However, Li Chengfeng was not worried about this. He had a large number of resources in his hands, enough to help him reach the Great Perfection of the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and even had hope of breaking through to the Golden Core stage.
However, before advancing, he also needed to refine three flying swords and natal magic weapons that matched his techniques. This was an inevitable path on the road to the unity of all laws, and there was no avoiding it.
Therefore, he must gradually collect the top-grade materials needed to refine these magic weapons.
Only when all conditions were met could he successfully advance to the Golden Core stage. His path seemed smooth, but in reality, it was full of thorns and difficult to replicate.
Perhaps only the outstanding disciples of super sects would have the opportunity to embark on this extraordinary path.
Although the path of advancement was difficult and dangerous, the advantages it brought were also obvious.
In the same realm, Li Chengfeng was hard to beat, and even when facing opponents who were superior, he still had the opportunity to kill them with his sword.
This favor allowed him to resolutely embark on this path, coupled with his extraordinary wisdom and skill in using the subtle contradictions between various forces, making him even more powerful.
Now, Li Chengfeng had mastered his first spell and sword technique, which was a rare achievement. Then, he turned his attention to the path of formations, regarding it as the key to breaking through to the Golden Core stage.
Once this idea was generated, it grew wildly like weeds and was difficult to suppress, and at the same time, the magical power within his body surged along with it.
At this moment, he deeply realized the importance of a flash of inspiration.
He quickly formulated a pill formula and handed it over to the substitute puppet alchemist, while also preparing the required resources and entrusting him to refine the pills.
As for himself, he devoted himself to the study of the Nine Profound Dragon Formation, determined to learn from the basics, learn from others' strengths, and strive for mastery.
In addition, he was also committed to finding three treasures that fit his own techniques in order to forge his natal sword, which was an important part of breaking through to the Golden Core stage.
Filled with enthusiasm and firm belief, Li Chengfeng did not rush to leave seclusion, but chose to retreat and cultivate, deeply comprehending the essence of formations.
During the cultivation process, he was meticulous and calculated, and even the cheapest talisman paper and broken talismans could be turned into treasure and reused after special treatment in the blood pool, greatly saving resources.
At the same time, he absorbed the essence of Ye Bitong's formations and learned to draw more small formations in a limited space. These small formations intertwined with each other and eventually converged into a powerful formation.
He deeply knew that in addition to a deep understanding of the formation itself, the skill of drawing talismans was also essential.
Therefore, he began to look for a top-grade magic treasure-level talisman brush, whether buying it or refining it himself, it had been put on his agenda.
With the gradual integration of techniques, spells, flying swords, and formations, Li Chengfeng's confidence increased greatly. He believed that as long as the three could be perfectly unified, he would have a 90% chance of breaking through to the Golden Core stage.
Li Chengfeng was full of expectations for the advancement stage. Although he had not learned other people's techniques, he had a more firm belief than ordinary people and a solid foundation.
In the blink of an eye, five years had passed, and they had arrived at the edge of the Xuan Guang Continent. Further ahead was the Demon territory, where war was raging.
On this side bordering the Nine Regions Continent, neighboring sects had already deployed defenses to prevent Demon incursions.
The Demon race was also unwilling to cause other continents to intervene, so this barren sea area had long been uninhabited.
Li Chengfeng dared to step into this place because of the Life Realm space he possessed.
He did not choose the conventional land route to avoid exposing his whereabouts, but chose to cross the sea, which was safer.
There were islands in the sea for rest, and even if there were none, the resources in his Life Realm space were enough to support him.
It would take at least ten years to cross this sea area to reach the Xuan Guang Continent.
This sea area was called the Sea of Discord, and it was also a place of contention, where many forces were forced into battle.
However, it was not the largest sea. Beyond the Xuan Guang Continent was the even more vast North Sea.
The North Sea, this vast and boundless sea, was known as the most mysterious sea area. Even late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators would need a hundred years to cross it.
The North Sea contained countless secret realms and was full of dangers. It was also the habitat of many sects, known as the Human Realm North Sea.
Li Chengfeng planned to spend ten years crossing the sea, and this journey would not only provide him with ample time to kill monsters and hone himself, but also prepare him for the battles in the Xuan Guang Continent.
At the same time, he could also find resources in the sea area to accelerate his cultivation, and perhaps by the time he arrived at the Xuan Guang Continent, he would already be a peak late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. Li Chengfeng was full of expectations for this.
