I am cultivating immortality in the chaotic world.

Chapter 140 The New Year is approaching and the Nian beast is coming.

The next day.

When the sunlight shone on Chen Lu through the window, he woke up drowsily from his bed in the inn. He had slept so comfortably. It had been a long time since he had such a good sleep without thinking about anything.

Adding the ten Golden Core Tianjiao Cultivation Pills that arrived in his account at midnight last night, he now had forty Golden Core Tianjiao Cultivation Pills.

After a quick wash, the energetic Chen Lu took Fei Long and others to eat a bowl of hot beef soup, and then returned to the inn to start today's practice.

take!

Practice!

The sea of ​​resentful spirits below Feizhou still brought him many benefits. The biggest benefit was that he had now accumulated a total of forty Golden Core Tianjiao cultivation pills, which could raise his cultivation to a higher level.

Five hours later, ten Golden Core Tianjiao Cultivation Pills had been swallowed.

The medicinal properties gradually dissolved.

He finally broke through the cultivation limit of the fourth level of the Golden Core Stage and reached the fifth level of the Golden Core Stage. After breaking through to the fifth level of the Golden Core Stage, one Golden Core Tianjiao Cultivation Pill could only increase the cultivation progress by 2%, a decrease of 1%.
-
"Cultivation": Fifth level of the Golden Core Stage (14.3%).
-
The familiar panel wrapped in clouds and mist appeared above Dantian again.

"My cultivation has greatly increased, and I have officially entered the fifth level of the Golden Core Stage."

"Please choose from the three random entries below in ten breaths."

1:

「Entry name」: All things are one.

「Entry Level」: Blue.

[Term Effect]: You can compress all spells released at the same time into a small ball.

2:

"Entry name": Holding an umbrella over the world.

"Entry Level": Yellow.

[Effect of the term]: When you open the umbrella, you will not be able to be locked by spiritual consciousness, except for those whose cultivation is one major realm higher than yours.

3:

[Entry name]: Ten Thousand Golden Pills.

"Entry Level": Yellow.

[Effect of the term]: When you die, your golden elixir will transform into a thousand phantom golden elixirs, shooting off in different directions.
-
"."

Chen Lu looked at the three entries and thought without saying anything. The three entries for this breakthrough in cultivation were all very good and he really wanted them.

I won’t talk about “Wan Qian Jin Dan”, it’s a purely life-saving item.

At least when facing a strong enemy, his golden elixir has a great chance of escaping, thus giving him a chance to make a comeback.

He also somewhat wanted the term "All things are one".

It is a means of attack.

It is suitable for sneak attacks or facing some arrogant enemies. Although it seems to be an inconspicuous small ball, the power contained in it is the explosion damage of hundreds of thousands of thunder dragons, and it is completely point-to-point damage.

In the past, when he attacked an enemy, hundreds of thousands of thunder dragons would directly bombard him.

But it is area damage after all.

There aren't many Thunder Dragons that can actually hit the enemy, and most of the damage is caused by the chain aura explosion effect caused by the countless Thunder Dragon explosions. With this entry, you can ensure that all the damage will be dealt to the enemy's face.

As for the last entry, which is "Holding the Umbrella over the World", it is also quite suitable for him. A defensive entry can prevent him from being locked by spiritual consciousness. It is extremely effective when facing some sword cultivators and magic cultivators who mainly rely on spiritual consciousness lock to carry out the next attack.

After thinking for a few breaths.

At the last moment, he chose the term "All Things Are One".

Currently, he feels that "All Things Become One" has a higher priority than "Holding the Umbrella over the World". After all, he is basically invincible now with his Golden Core cultivation, and he will definitely take the initiative, so no one can threaten him for the time being.

However, the combination of all methods can greatly enhance his one-on-one ability.

continue--

Chen Lu took a deep breath, consolidated his cultivation a little, and then continued to take the Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill without delay.

Another three hours passed.

The cultivation has arrived.
-
"Cultivation": Fifth level of the Golden Core Stage (34.4%).
-
As his cultivation level improved, the medicinal properties decreased and the absorption speed also became faster. It used to take five hours to absorb all the medicinal properties, but now three hours is enough.

Continuing, three hours passed and another ten Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills were consumed.
-
"Cultivation": Fifth level of the Golden Core Stage (54.3%).
-
At this time, it was already past midnight, and he had not yet swallowed the remaining 10 Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills, but another 10 Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills arrived. Continue!

"call"

Its daybreak.

Chen Lu, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, let out a long breath and looked inward at the cultivation progress panel above his dantian.
-
"Cultivation": Fifth level of the Golden Core Stage (94.3%).
-
When the money arrives at midnight tonight, I will be able to break through to the sixth level of the Golden Core Stage. According to this progress, there will be basically no problem in breaking through to the peak of the Golden Core Stage within a year. Then the next step is to prepare for achieving the Nascent Soul Stage.

He tilted his head to look at the sun outside the window and listened to the vendors' cries coming from below.

The snow had melted by now.

Moreover, because all the resentful spirits under Feizhou were cleared away, the temperature in Feizhou has warmed up a lot. For this reason, even the price of the evil wood has dropped a bit. After all, the evil wood is no longer used.

at this time--

A vague and vicissitudes of life voice appeared in the ears of everyone in the Great Xia Kingdom.
-
"Decree of Heaven": As the year draws to a close, we celebrate the new life and welcome the new year with thousands of miles to go.

There are three stages in the New Year, corresponding to the three heads of the Nian beast.

If you injure the Nian beast, you will receive blessings from heaven. Depending on the severity of the injuries, the amount of blessings you receive will vary.

The one who causes more than 50% damage and the one who deals the final blow will receive a special blessing from heaven.

The first Nian beast will descend on Pingzhou, the westernmost part of the Great Xia Kingdom, in two hours.
-
"go!"

As soon as the Heavenly Edict sounded, Chen Lu took the scholar all the way to Pingzhou, the westernmost part of the Great Xia Kingdom, without any hesitation. Anyone who missed such a great opportunity would be a fool.

This is the Nian beast from the Heavenly Decree. The reward after killing it will definitely be huge.

"Pingzhou" is located in the westernmost part of the Great Xia Kingdom.

And have conflicts with hundreds of countries.

Half an hour later.

Chen Lu and his group had already arrived in Pingzhou. They didn't know where the Nian beast would land in Pingzhou, so they simply stayed on the highest mountain in Pingzhou. This way, no matter where it landed, they could rush there as soon as possible.

"The seventh level of foundation building?"

Chen Yu looked at the floating aura coming from the scholar.

"Ah."

The scholar smiled and nodded: "Re-cultivation plus the Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill does improve the speed very quickly. Feilong has also reached the fourth level of foundation building. Everyone's improvement speed is quite fast, but Brother Shu's cultivation speed is even faster."

"The speed of improving the cultivation level of the Golden Core is much slower than that of the Foundation Establishment. Brother Shu, you just broke through the Golden Core a few days ago, and now you are already at the fifth level of the Golden Core. I guess you are not far from the sixth level of the Golden Core."

"lucky."

Chen Lu smiled and didn't say anything nonsense. It was indeed a fluke. The "Prodigy Ranking" directly gave him 10 Golden Dan Tiandao Cultivation Pills every day, which he could not use up.

Chen Lu did not waste the remaining hour and a half.

Instead, he sat cross-legged on the ground, practicing his mental skills to consolidate his cultivation level.

When an hour and a half was about to pass.

"call!"

Chen Lu let out a long breath, and then the spiritual energy in his body suddenly surged out. Thick dark clouds suddenly appeared above his head again, and the howling wind and rain came again as expected, but this time there was no thunder dragon appearing.

He looked down at his palm, and saw a small thunder ball about the size of a golden elixir.

Looks extremely inconspicuous.

When he scanned it with his spiritual sense, he couldn't feel how much power it contained. It felt ordinary. He could only vaguely see a number of miniature thunder dragons circling in the thunder ball.

This is the little gadget he created by relying on the "Unity of All Things".

“It looks much more low-key.”

Chen Lu chuckled, and then his spiritual awareness spread out instantly. His cultivation had now reached the fifth level of the Golden Core, and the range of his spiritual awareness had already reached one hundred and seventy miles. With the bonus of the term "complementing each other", the maximum range of his spiritual awareness could reach two hundred and thirty miles.

The range of this spiritual awareness is already much farther than that of many powerful people who have reached the peak of the Golden Core realm.

At this time, many cultivators have arrived in Pingzhou.

There are also many Jindan cultivators among them. After all, for Jindan cultivators, this is also a great opportunity.

But when they felt Chen Lu's spiritual sense sweeping over them, no Jindan cultivator expressed dissatisfaction through their spiritual sense.

In principle, it would be a provocation for a Jindan cultivator to release his spiritual sense so rudely, and they could just start a war over it and still be right, but the problem was that the principle was not in their hands.

Being right doesn't mean you can win.

However, these Jindan cultivators did not retreat. Even if they did not become enemies with Chen Chu, it would not affect their chances of getting their own opportunities. Could Chen Chu still be killed by the Nian Beast in seconds?

Aren't they rewarded for stealing a bit of damage randomly? If they can land the final blow, that's even better.

Chen Lu didn't care what other people were thinking. He just focused his spiritual sense and waited for the Nian beast to appear.

finally--

"Roar!!!"

Along with a roar, a ferocious beast that looked like a tiger or a dragon suddenly jumped down from the dark clouds in the sky with a roar. It carried and exuded an extremely terrifying aura, and it was obviously a first-level Jindan cultivator!

It just happened to appear within the range of his spiritual awareness.

As for the Foundation Establishment cultivators below who originally came here to try their luck, they did not hesitate at all and scattered in all directions with fear on their faces. If it was a Nian Beast with Foundation Establishment cultivation, they could still try their luck, but there was no way for those with Golden Core cultivation.

Running away is the only thing they can do!
"call out!"

Almost at the moment when the Nian beast appeared, Chen Lu, who was on a mountain dozens of miles away, locked onto the Nian beast with his spiritual sense. The thunder ball in his palm turned into a purple-blue gilded light, crossing dozens of miles at an extremely fast speed, and appeared above the head of the Nian beast almost instantly!
"boom!!!"

Before the Nian Beast landed on the ground, a thunder ball shot from the sky and went straight into the body of the Nian Beast. Immediately afterwards, hundreds of thousands of thunder dragons exploded directly in the body of the Nian Beast!

The huge explosion, mixed with the rumbling thunder, almost made the whole world tremble.

The powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy blew many Jindan cultivators who were about to approach away dozens of feet.

When those hundreds of thousands of thunder dragons dispersed.

There was no trace of the Nian beast left, not even a speck of flesh and blood. It disappeared completely without a trace.

"Good."

Chen Lu, who was sitting cross-legged on the mountain peak, chuckled and said nothing. This "All Things in One" entry is very useful, especially since it compresses all damage to one point, which greatly increases the damage caused to a single creature.

He even felt.

If a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage did not activate his protective spiritual energy or use any protective magic weapon, and allowed this lightning ball to shoot into his body, he would be doomed. Of course, this was just his inner guess, after all, he had never seen the fighting methods of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The difference between each major realm is not just the level of cultivation and the richness of spiritual energy.

What's more different is the fighting style.

For example, a cultivator like him in the Jindan stage can lock onto the enemy with his spiritual sense and take his life from dozens of miles away. This method cannot be achieved by a cultivator of the foundation-building stage, no matter how strong he is. A cultivator of the foundation-building stage simply cannot release his spiritual sense to lock onto the enemy.

Spiritual consciousness attack and spiritual consciousness lock are the unique fighting methods of Jindan cultivators.
He had never come into contact with the Nascent Soul stage, so he couldn't even imagine what the fighting methods of the Nascent Soul stage were. He only knew that the Nascent Soul stage would definitely crush the Golden Core stage.

A panel wrapped in clouds slowly emerged above Chen Lu's dantian.
-
"You caused 100% damage to the Nian Beast in the first stage, and obtained a 'Superior Heavenly Dao Retrospective Talisman'."

"You dealt the final blow to the Nian Beast in the first stage, and obtained a 'Superior Heavenly Dao Retrieval Talisman'."
-
"Two top-grade Heavenly Dao Backtracking Talismans?"

There was a hint of joy in Chen Lu's eyes. This was a good treasure. Just when he broke through the fifth level of the Golden Core, there was an entry called "Holding an Umbrella over the World", and he really wanted it.

There was no hesitation at that moment.

He immediately activated a high-grade Heavenly Dao Backtracking Talisman and selected again the entry "Holding the Umbrella over the World" which he had discarded.

This is one of his few defensive items.

With this entry, when he opens the umbrella, unless one's cultivation level is much higher than his, it is impossible to lock onto him with spiritual sense, and the safety level is greatly improved.

Each realm can use up to two Heavenly Dao Back-Tracing Talismans, and the top-grade Heavenly Dao Back-Tracing Talisman corresponds to the Golden Core realm.

He only used one.

Keep the remaining one for later use.

However, he did not have time to check his reward, as the Nian beast in the second level soon jumped down from the black cloud to the ground with a roar again.

"Roar!"

This time it’s a ferocious beast that’s half clam and half turtle!

It seemed that he was good at defense. He covered himself with his tortoise shell the first moment he landed on the ground. Chen Lu took a deep breath and immediately jumped into the air. His body began to teleport continuously to absorb spiritual energy. His previous wave of spiritual energy was used up.

Let’s restore our spiritual energy first.

After a hundred breaths.

The spiritual energy in his body had already recovered halfway, and he didn't wait for it to be fully recovered. Just as he was about to pinch out another thunder ball and shoot it over, his spiritual sense swept over and saw that many cultivators were lying in a pool of blood around the Nian beast.

The remaining monks surrounding the Nian beast also kept retreating, looking at each other, and no one took action.

"Ok?"

Chen Lu's consciousness swept across the scene not far away, and his brows raised in doubt. Then he no longer stayed on the mountain peak, but turned into streams of light with the scholar and others and shot towards the direction of the "Nian Beast".
In a few breaths, several people landed beside the Nian beast.

The scene scanned by the spiritual consciousness is completely different from the scene seen by the naked eye. When you actually stand in front of this half-clam, half-turtle Nian beast, you can feel how shocking it is. The Nian beast in front of you is nearly ten feet tall!

It can be said that there is a huge monster lying on the ground. Adding to its extremely large and heavy body, the kind that the ground will shake three times just by dodging its feet. It turns out that he has the cultivation level of the third level of Golden Core!
The monks lying in a pool of blood around them could not even breathe and were already dead.

This Nian beast that looked like half clam and half turtle did not take the initiative to attack. It just lay on the ground, motionless, as if it was letting you do whatever you want.

Chen Yu's appearance immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.

In fact, when the sky was filled with dark clouds and violent storms, and hundreds of thousands of thunder dragons exploded in the body of the first-level Nian beast, everyone knew that Chen Lu was coming. After all, Chen Lu was the only one in the entire Daxia who had this kind of attack method.

I just haven't seen anyone.

Only saw it at this time.

At the same time, many people spoke loudly and simultaneously.

"Senior, no matter what means you use to attack this Nian beast, it will bounce back. That's how those Taoist friends lying in a pool of blood lost their lives."

"Yes, yes. Moreover, even spiritual attacks are useless. Just now, a Jindan senior tried a spiritual attack, and now he is sitting cross-legged on the ground over there to heal his wounds."

"Senior, you have done me a great favor. My father's injury was saved only because of your auspicious sign from heaven."

A mix of sounds.

There were even many voices of gratitude, thanking Chen Lu for the auspicious sign from heaven that helped many people recover from their injuries in terms of consciousness, Taoism foundation, and body. Those hundreds of billions of merits did not come out of thin air.

Merit is not easy to obtain.

Like Chen Lu, who killed so many evil spirits in the underground of Feizhou, but did not gain any merit.

"Ah."

Chen Lu nodded lightly, narrowed his eyes slightly and did not speak. He just casually threw out a dozen lightning-inducing spells. When those dozen lightning-inducing spells touched the turtle shell, they immediately bounced back towards him at a faster speed.

The speed is so fast that there is no room for dodging.

All of them fell heavily on the umbrella of Chen Lu's Tianji Umbrella.

Chen Lu glanced at the umbrella surface and found no trace of damage. It was indeed a mid-grade golden elixir spiritual treasure. It was very solid. As his cultivation level improved, the grade of this natal spiritual treasure that had been nurtured in his dantian also increased from a lower-grade golden elixir to a mid-grade golden elixir.

A growth-type spiritual treasure whose quality can be improved as the master's cultivation level improves.

"That person is Chen Yu, who has been very popular in Daxia recently?"

in the crowd.

Several people with exotic looks stood together, looking in the direction of Chen Yu with curiosity in their eyes: "They say seeing is believing, but it doesn't seem to have anything particularly outstanding. It's hard to associate it with the fifth-grade Tiandao top-level golden elixir and the wide range of auspicious clouds falling from the sky."

"But I remember that he just achieved a breakthrough to the Golden Core not long ago, didn't he?"

"But now the spiritual energy fluctuations in his body are obviously that of the fifth level of the Golden Core."

"do not know."

One of the men shook his head and said jokingly, "But you can go ahead and give it a try. Don't you claim that no man can resist your charm? This Chen Yu is the most powerful and outstanding genius in Da Xia. If you can get close to him, maybe he can support you to become the queen of your country. It's not impossible."

"Makes sense."

The female cultivator standing beside him in a long skirt stared at Chen Yu's back without disguising her gaze. She rolled up a strand of hair and put it to her mouth, saying seductively, "Maybe he likes someone like me who has an exotic flavor."

"Keep going, I'll stand further away and support you silently."

Chen Lu looked at the second level Nian beast in front of him. It was indeed a bit tricky. Not only was its shell extremely hard, completely protecting the Nian beast, but it could also rebound all damage.

But it's only slightly tricky.

After all, all you have to do is avoid the shell and attack the Nian beast inside the shell.

"Boom!!!"

Along with deafening thunder, a small thunder ball gradually appeared in Chen Lu's hand, containing hundreds of thousands of real and imaginary thunder dragons. His spiritual sense controlled the small thunder ball and it immediately shot towards the ground.

It sank into the ground instantly.

Immediately afterwards, it shot out from under the half-clam, half-turtle Nian beast, emitting a dazzling purple-blue light, which directly blasted the gigantic Nian beast into the sky.

Then, accompanied by a huge explosion, a rain of blood fell to the ground.

Some of the monks who were still standing there with shocked faces were caught off guard and were drenched in the blood rain, causing their bodies to be covered with the stench of blood. However, Chen Lu and others had already left the place.

A little tricky, but that's it.

When he used his spiritual sense to control the lightning ball to drill out of the ground and attack the belly of the half-clam, half-turtle Nian beast, he could clearly feel that its belly was also extremely hard and could not be broken by ordinary people. It just did not have any means of counterattack like a shell.
-
"You dealt 100% damage to the Nian Beast in the second stage, and obtained a 'Heavenly Way Escape Talisman'."

"You dealt the final blow to the Nian Beast in the second stage, and obtained the 'Heavenly Path Spiritual Ring'."
-
"Ok?"

Chen Lu looked at the two panels that appeared above his dantian and raised his brows slightly. The "Heavenly Way Escape Talisman" among them was a good thing for escape. Once activated, one could escape thousands of miles away instantly.

And it can ignore all spatial restrictions, formations, etc.

He was actually a little curious about whether this thing could break through the confinement of Daxia, but after thinking about it, he gave up and did not do this experiment. When he went to Xuantian Continent in the future, this would be a good way to save his life.

As for the 'Heavenly Ring'.
"This is a good thing."

A hint of joy flashed in Chen Lu's eyes as he looked at the ring in his hand, which looked quite simple but contained a trace of the power of heaven and earth. It was a magical treasure from heaven, the kind that could not be created by a weapon cultivator.

This ring is also very powerful.

It comes with a storage ring space, which is many times larger than the best storage rings.

From now on, he will no longer need to carry so many storage rings on his fingers. This Tiandao Ring is more than enough.

This one is enough.

In addition, this Heavenly Dao Ring can also increase the power of his spiritual attack to a certain extent. Under the spiritual attack spell of "Heart Piercing", the power of his spiritual attack will be even higher.

In addition, his sea of ​​​​consciousness is larger than that of ordinary people, and his spiritual consciousness attacks are more powerful than those of ordinary people.

With various blessings, his "Heart-piercing Thorn" will become a trump card of ultimate move.

the most important is
After obtaining this "Heavenly Dao Ring", a piece of information emerged in his mind. After collecting eight pieces of Heavenly Dao magical treasures from different parts, he can put together the Heavenly Dao magical treasure set and possess powerful effects.

All the spiritual treasures of the Heavenly Dao are growing spiritual treasures, so his Heavenly Dao ring is naturally also a growing spiritual treasure.

After collecting the three heavenly magical treasures.

You can obtain the first Heavenly Dao set effect: "The power of releasing the Lightning Summoning Technique will be enhanced."

Simple and crude.

Chen Lu was quite satisfied with the effect, but he didn't understand why he seemed to be in conflict with the Lightning Attracting Technique. He already had many entries and methods to enhance the power of the Lightning Attracting Technique.

perhaps
This is because his most powerful spell at the moment is the Lightning Attracting Technique, and thus all spell enhancements will automatically be directed towards the Lightning Attracting Technique.

If he has other stronger spells, then the spell class enhancement will be directed to other spells?
That does make sense.

Before the third Nian beast arrived, Chen Lu flew into the air to restore his spiritual energy to full, and then landed on the ground and stood with Fei Long and others, ready to welcome the arrival of the third Nian beast.

do not know either.

Can this third Nian beast reward itself with another heavenly magical treasure?

In this way, he will have three Heavenly Dao spiritual treasures and can obtain the effect of the first Heavenly Dao suit on the spot.

"Roar!!"

Just after Chen Lu recovered his spiritual energy, he didn't have to wait long before a ferocious beast that was half wolf and half tiger fell from the air to the ground. It was three meters high. Although it was not as big as the second Nian beast, it was still a huge monster compared to ordinary monsters.

At least it was bigger than the little wolf following at his feet.

This little thing is quite belligerent.

He wanted to rush forward several times. If he hadn't stopped the little wolf, the little wolf would have rushed forward on its own.

Yes, with Little Wolf's fifth-level Jindan cultivation, he might not be afraid of these Nian beasts. But he has never seen Little Wolf take action. When he has the chance, he also wants to see what means such a small thing as Little Wolf uses to attack.

But he didn't think much about it at this moment!
The moment the third ferocious beast appeared, his spiritual sense locked onto it, and then the lightning ball in his hand turned into a stream of purple-blue light and shot towards it. He now liked to use the term "All Things Unite as One" more and more when fighting against a single target.

It is indeed quite useful.

not bad.

At the same time as he made his move, the surrounding monks also used their strongest methods, obviously wanting to have a taste of the soup as well. Everyone came here from far away not just to watch the show, they definitely wanted to have a taste of the soup as well.

Chen Lu glanced at it and didn't care. After all, his Lightning Attracting Technique was instantaneous. Before these people's attacks arrived, his Lightning Attracting Technique had already arrived.

This Nian beast has the cultivation level of the sixth level of the Golden Core.

His cultivation is quite terrifying.

If Chen Lu had not been here, many people at the scene would have already fled, especially those foundation-building cultivators, who at this time used their strongest means to attack the Nian beast by taking advantage of the power of the other beast.

If it's just them alone.

Even if they were given a hundred guts, they would not dare to attack the Nian Beast at the sixth level of the Golden Core with their foundation-building cultivation. There was even no need to run away. If they just slit its throat, they might die more easily.

At least there is no risk of being chewed alive, and there will be no pain.

(End of this chapter)
