Chapter 700: Changes in Tianxing City, Demon Infant's Body Refining Completed (6k)
A few days later.

After the rain, the sky cleared up and the weather became sunny and windy.

Above Xiaogui Peak, there is a misty fog lingering, the air is full of spiritual energy, there are waterfalls flowing across the mountain stream, and all kinds of spiritual birds and beasts shuttle through the mist.

Colorful auspicious clouds emerged, presenting a scene of a fairyland like a paradise.

Two stunning rainbow lights streaked across the sky from far to near and arrived outside the main peak.

The escaping light dissipated, revealing the figures of Su Yuqing and Diao Yunsou.

"Brother Qin is really good at living! When he was in the human world, he occupied a spiritual island to practice by himself."

"Now this Little Turtle Peak is also a place of leisure and pleasure."

Su Yuqing looked up and saw lush green high-level spiritual plants growing all over the mountains and fields, growing vigorously, making her feel relaxed and happy with every breath.

"That's not true. A hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Fellow Daoist Qin has already left the two of us far behind." Diaoyunsou also said with a sigh.

On the way here, he also heard from Su Yuqing about their encounter in the Giant Spirit Tribe, and how he used his omnipotent means to kill a demon cultivator who was comparable to a Void Refiner.

He also saved Su Yuqing's life.

It took Diaoyunsou a long time to recover from the shock.

At this moment, the purple light curtain of the formation in front of the two of them suddenly rippled, and then a familiar figure emerged.

"Long time no see, fellow Taoists! How are you these days?"

Qin Ming opened the formation and came out in person with a smiling face.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, how are you? You are still as charming as ever! Hehehe!"

"Brother Qin, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have improved a lot. I am really jealous!"

Su Yuqing and Diao Yunsou smiled and bowed to greet Qin Ming.

It is not easy for the three old friends from the human world to reunite in the spirit world this time.

Mo Lingwei, Baili Hui, Fairy Lan Bing, and Sky-Devouring Rat also came out and greeted the two of them one by one.

The Sky Devouring Rat transformed into a Taoist boy in a green robe and sighed solemnly, "Thinking back to the past, the human world was so lively. Now, only a few of us have successfully ascended. What a pity!"

"I don't know what's going on with Taoist Master Han Ya, Taoist Fellow Yue Lingyan, and Qi Xiaoyu. There has been no news for such a long time."

“Several of them have already achieved the great perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, and they are estimated to have broken through to the Divine Transformation stage now. However, they have to deal with worldly affairs before they can ascend.” Su Yuqing said.

After everyone exchanged greetings, the scenes on Moon Watching Island suddenly came to their minds.

It wasn't just the Sky-Devouring Rat, they were all sighing with admiration.

Subsequently.

Qin Ming invited Su Yuqing and the other person to the main peak, and asked his spiritual pets, the Sky-Eating Rat and the Little Silver Fox, to prepare spiritual wine and spiritual food.

Several people sat down in a pavilion in the mountains.

They exchanged views on each other's experiences in the spiritual world over the years.

Soon, the Sky-Devouring Rat and the Little Silver Fox brought up the spiritual wine, spiritual fish, and a wide variety of delicacies from the fairy palace.

Su Yuqing and Diao Yunsou also had great appetites and started eating without hesitation.

When Diaoyunsou saw the plump, high-level Soul-crossing Fish on the table, he showed an extremely surprised look on his face:

"Isn't this the spiritual fish that is a specialty of the Yellow Springs Devouring Abyss? It is said that this spiritual fish is extremely hard to find, and it can greatly increase the magic power of a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage. All the big forces have fought tooth and nail for it."

"I heard that the ghosts in the underworld are rampant over there, and even several gods in the Void Refining Stage have died. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Qin has been there?"

"That's right. Qin once stayed there for a while. There was a great chaos in the Abyss, so I traveled all the way here." Qin Ming took a sip of the spirit wine and replied.

While the Sky-Eating Rat was eating voraciously, he said in a proud tone, "I caught these spiritual fish myself. I spent a lot of effort to raise and take care of them. They are really precious."

Su Yuqing and Diao Yunsou also realized it.

Unexpectedly, Qin Ming had already been to dangerous places like the Yellow Springs Abyss, and arrived in Tianxing City safely.

As the Silver-Armored Star Guards of Tianxing City, they had naturally heard a lot about the things happening on the front line of the Yellow Springs Devouring Abyss.

Almost all of those Star Guard teams never returned, and only a small number were able to return safely.

These are all the most difficult tasks.

For example, only a Star Guard team like Yao Tiannan, who has a strong background in Tianxing City, can complete the extremely dangerous mission there.

When it comes to this.

Qin Ming also mentioned this person to the two of them. The captains of the same Star Guard team, Su Yuqing and Diao Yunsou, had also heard of Yao Tiannan's Star Guard team a long time ago.

"Since you all have similar personalities, I will introduce Brother Yao to you someday. If you get to know each other, maybe he will be of help to you in carrying out your mission." Qin Ming also said.

But he had just finished speaking.

Qin Ming noticed that the expressions of Su Yuqing and the other person opposite him seemed a little strange.

So he asked, "What's the matter? But, do you two Taoist friends have any questions?"

Diao Yunsou and Su Yuqing looked at each other, then sighed and said, "Alas! Brother Qin, you don't know something!"

"There may be some major changes in Tianxing City recently! This is not a good time to make friends with others."

As soon as these words came out.

Even Baili Hui who was standing by was shocked: "What?! Is there something like this that I haven't noticed?"

Mo Lingwei also showed a rather puzzled look. Tianxing City was one of the major cities of the human race. Apart from the three holy places, such an important place should be as stable as Mount Tai.

When he saw Qin Ming, he also wanted to ask him questions.

Diaoyun Sou explained, "This incident happened only in the past two days. It's normal that Daoist Baili doesn't know about it."

"The root cause of this incident is that there have been major personnel changes in the upper echelons of Tianxing City. It is said that a Purple Gold Saint Armor Star Guard Commander has been promoted and has been transferred to one of the three holy places by the upper echelons of the human race."

“Therefore, a Purple Gold Saint Armor Star Guard Commander position has been vacated in the elders’ seats of Tianxing City. Now, those Golden Armor Elders in the Void Refining Stage who have the strength to advance to the next level in the Immortal City will definitely compete for this seat.”

"There are even two major factions because of this."

"After all, this matter involves extremely huge interests and power divisions."

“Brother Qin should also know that, for example, the Xiaoguifeng Spiritual Land Cave Residence that you are currently renting is rented from the Tianxing Trading Company, and the person standing behind it is the powerful Elder Lianxu of Tianxing City!”

"Just in the vicinity of Tianxing City, the huge amount of spiritual stone profits that can be generated by leasing and selling spiritual caves every year is an astronomical figure that ordinary cultivators cannot even dream of."

“The cultivation resources required for the Void Refining Stage are incomparably huge, so the elders of Tianxing City will definitely not let go of this opportunity easily.”

“Not to mention, he is a Purple Gold Saint Armor-level commander. In Tianxing City, apart from those powerful people in the Fusion Stage who have not shown up for hundreds or thousands of years, he can be said to hold great power and his words are final.”

When Qin Ming and others heard this, they immediately showed a look of enlightenment.

He couldn't help but say, "So that's how it is. But isn't the commander-in-chief of the Star Guard a position that is directly accepted by the human race's upper echelons? Does the Council of Elders need to vote for it themselves?"

"Qin heard that to hold such a position, one must at least be in the late stage of Refining Void cultivation, right?"

Qin Ming had heard Elder Fengqi mention this matter briefly when he was in the Mujing clan.

"That's right, but the composition of the elders' seats in Tianxing City is quite complex and special. Not only does it bring together the elders of the major forces in Kunlun Domain, but also the Refining Void Lords of other spiritual domains also occupy seats in the Elder Council."

“Therefore, the position of the Purple Gold Holy Armor Grand Commander not only requires extremely strong cultivation strength, but also requires the unanimous approval of the Elders’ Council.” Diao Yunsou said slowly.

"There are two late-stage Refining Void Divine Lords competing for the position of the Grand Commander of the Star Guards this time. One of them is Elder Qian Yuanzi, the leader of the Zhitian Palace, and the other is Jin Ao, the Divine Lord from the Xuantian Sword Sect."

"Yao Tiannan's master, Yu Hanzi, and Elder Lin both belong to the Zhitian Palace faction in charge of the internal affairs of the Immortal City, and Fellow Daoist Su and I happen to work under the Star Guards of Lord Jin Ao. Sigh!"

"If that's the case, then it's really unfortunate! Yao Tiannan and the two of you happen to be on the opposite side. It would not be good if we had any private contact." Qin Ming touched his chin, thought about it, and couldn't help but say.

Diaoyunsou said, "Brother Qin is right. The open and secret struggles among the great figures of the Immortal City are beyond our ability to guess. Even if they are competing for the position of the great commander, those great figures will naturally not personally come out to fight."

"However, the forces they are affiliated with will definitely fight secretly. For example, the surrounding Wanhua Valley, Shenmu Sect, Yunmeng Mountain Wang Family, and even Wutong Mountain Li Family will all stand on their own sides."

Back then, Diao Yunsou and his companions were also domineering and powerful in the human world, and were the top ancestors of the world of immortal cultivation who had reached the pinnacle of spiritual transformation.

But after ascending to the spiritual world, although the path to immortality became more promising, the status level underwent earth-shaking changes.

Now that they are cultivators in the middle and late stages of the Spirit Transformation Realm, they are just subordinates who are controlled by others.

Any disturbance in the upper echelons will affect their own situation.

"Brother Qin is still free and easy! He is the king of the mountain alone, with good friends and spiritual pets by his side, and he doesn't have to get involved in the struggles of these big shots." Su Yuqing drank a cup of Lingxi Jade Liquid and said with some melancholy.

From his tone, it was not difficult for Qin Ming to hear that the great alchemist in front of him was also quite helpless about this matter.

"Let's not talk about these bad things. Anyway, the upper echelons of Tianxing City are in turmoil, and it's not our turn to worry about it. We have finally gathered here, so let's have a good drink today!" Qin Ming saw the looks of the two people opposite him and immediately changed the subject.

"Yes! Drink, drink!"

"Brother Qin has prepared so many precious things to improve my cultivation. I am going to drink and eat to my heart's content. Hahaha!"

"Eh? How come this plate of spiritual fish is eaten up so quickly? Lord Shi Tian, ​​please leave some for us!"

Subsequently.

People on Xiaogui Peak were toasting each other, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was joyful.

After having enough wine and food.

Su Yuqing and Diao Yunsou stood up and said goodbye, planning to return to Tianxing City.

Before leaving, Su Yuqing handed a jade slip to Qin Ming and said, "Brother Qin, I have studied the recipe of Yin Yang Guixu Pill in the past few years. All my experience and tips on how to avoid risks in alchemy are marked in it. With Brother Qin's current attainments in alchemy, it should be no problem for him to refine this pill."

Qin Ming's eyes lit up and he took the jade slip from Su Yuqing's hand. He didn't expect that he had studied the pill formula so thoroughly so quickly.

It is still Master Sultan who has an unparalleled talent in alchemy in the human world.

In accordance with the original agreement, he took out a piece of Taiyi Yin Jade and gave it to the other party, and both parties were very happy.

Su Yuqing was also very surprised. He did not expect that Qin Ming could really get such a rare item from the Mujing clan. Given their relationship, he did not hesitate and gladly accepted it.

Afterwards, the two of them said goodbye to Qin Ming and left.

……the other side.

Located in Tianyuan Valley around Tianxing City.

The aura of the burly Jiuling Yuanzun has now recovered to the early sixth level.

His eyes moved slightly, and he said to Ling Tian Shenjun in the cave: "I heard that there have been some unusual movements at Xiaogui Peak recently. People have visited there one after another. It seems that the boy surnamed Li has returned."

"Should we take advantage of this opportunity to take action? This Saint has repaid the favor you owe me for helping me recover my cultivation, so that you don't have to think about this matter every day."

Ling Tian Divine Lord slowly opened his eyes and said calmly: "There is no rush for this matter. The internal fight among those old guys in Tianxing City will soon begin. By then, all the surrounding powerful families will be unable to escape this dispute."

"Aren't you a worshiper in the Wang family? When the chaos comes, let the Wang family secretly support Elder Jin Ao to take the position. We can find any excuse to attack Xiaogui Peak and no one will say anything."

Jiuling Yuanzun's eyes flickered, and he nodded, "That's a good idea."

Then his figure turned into a ripple and disappeared.

……

……

Time flies by.

A few more months passed.

During this period, after Qin Ming returned to Xiaogui Peak, he first took out the spiritual seedling of the Qingqiongtian Tree and spent some effort to plant it on the main peak.

It just so happened that the underground spiritual spring in his small spiritual realm could also be used to cultivate this sixth-order divine tree.

Afterwards, he consumed several [Ripening] entries and [Time Flies] entries to ripen it to the point of six thousand years.

Not long after he planted the tree, a giant green tree that blocked out the sun and covered the sky quietly grew on the main peak.

In an instant, all the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth was gathered by this tree and injected into the spiritual vein of Xiaogui Peak.

It directly increased the spiritual energy density on the main peak to the level of the lower sixth grade.

Qin felt the spiritual environment which was completely different from the past and smiled with satisfaction. Even the spiritual plants near the cave were nourished by the changes in the spiritual veins and grew more wildly.

As the branches and leaves of many spiritual plants opened and closed to breathe, they greedily absorbed the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

"As time goes by, this Blue Sky Tree will gather spiritual energy. Maybe it will be able to reach the level of the Wood Crystal Clan, right?"

"Now that I have this spiritual vein environment, my cultivation progress will be even smoother. The key is that I can also plant more high-level spiritual plants."

Qin Ming looked at the lush green tree that was more than ten feet tall and couldn't help but sigh.

The Qingqiongtian Tree was born at the sixth level, and also gave birth to a tree spirit, but its intelligence was not that high.

At this moment, it was like a child, running around among the lush branches, and responding to Qin Ming's thoughts with great joy.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sixth-level spiritual vein environment.

Qin Ming took out the few sixth-grade Daobing spirit beans that he had exchanged from Li Changqing, as well as many spiritual objects from heaven and earth needed to cultivate spiritual plants, and planted them at the entrance of the cave in the main peak.

As a sixth-level combat spiritual plant, Qin Ming had to use special spells to inject magic power during the planting process in order to continuously cultivate it.

As for what kind of powerful Taoist spirit beans can be grown in the end, it is closely related to one's personal cultivation and supernatural powers.

However, Qin Ming thought that he was invincible in both magic and body cultivation, so the sixth-level Taoist spirit beans he grew should not be too bad.

After finishing all this, Qin Ming asked the Sky-Eating Rat to take care of the spiritual plants outside, and he returned to the cave to practice.

The following days.

Even though the situation outside was becoming increasingly turbulent, Qin Ming stayed indoors, ignored worldly affairs, and plunged into hard training again.

While digesting and comprehending the giant spirit king's inherited ancestral totem, he also took time to practice the "Xuanming True Water Sutra". He had already condensed a drop of Xuanming heavy water. Once he condensed ten drops, he would be able to completely cultivate the water-based technique to perfection.

After a period of contemplation, Qin Ming had almost digested the giant spirit king's ancestral totem.

He now has two sacred mountains in his hands, which is just right for him to try to practice the magical powers of the giant clan and absorb the power of the mountains.

In the cave.

Qin Ming took out the Spirit King Cauldron, and with a flick of his finger, the Yuanji Divine Mountain that he had taken away from the human world turned into a palm-sized object and flew out, and instantly turned into a size of several feet in front of him.

The Yuanji Divine Mountain radiates green aurora power all over, which can block all the magical powers of the five elements and three wonders, as well as the vital energy of heaven and earth.

Qin Ming displayed the secret technique inherited from the Giant Spirit King, formed a strange seal with his hands, and pointed towards the Yuanji Divine Mountain in front of him.

hum!
In an instant, the ancestral totem on Qin Ming's arm lit up, bursting out with primordial power, turning into streaks of blood, and in an instant sank into the Yuanji Divine Mountain.

Pulled by this force, the Yuanji Divine Mountain involuntarily flew towards Qin Ming's direction.

The entire mountain began to emit colorful light from the green aurora at the beginning, which was extremely magical and fascinating.

The enormous power of the aurora swept away all the five elements of spiritual energy in the cave, isolating it completely.

As the ancestral totem continued to change, a force of Yuanji within the Yuanji Divine Mountain was actually absorbed.

Somehow, a subtle resonance began to arise between him and Qin Ming!
next moment.

Qin Ming's demon infant soul showed excitement in his eyes. He raised his head and looked upwards. He opened his mouth and sucked in the giant spirit king's ancestral totem, and actually swallowed it into his mouth.

The originally dim ancestral pattern emerged between the dark demon infant's eyebrows and lit up completely, with star-shaped light spots appearing inside.

The Yuanji Divine Mountain, sparkling with colorful light, floated three inches above Qin Ming's head.

Then it flashed and disappeared into Qin Ming's body.

In Qin Ming's sea of ​​consciousness, he could only see a ten-thousand-foot-tall sacred mountain, emitting terrifying waves, quietly floating in the air.

It is almost exactly the same as when it first stood in the human world.

He naturally understood that this was an initial success in absorbing the power of the sacred mountain. The demon infant's soul immediately struck while the iron was hot and began to practice "The Demon's True Power Art".

Charge towards the sixth floor!
Along with waves of extremely powerful power of the sacred mountain, he absorbed it and began to continuously strengthen Qin Ming's body.

An extremely domineering new force was born in Qin Ming's body, which represented the divine power of mountains and stars of the giant clan!
Behind Qin Ming, the terrifying shadows of the Vajra Demon, the Ancient Demon Ape, and the Thousand-Handed Demon began to appear alternately.

Five circles of black treasure wheels appeared, and the outline of the sixth circle of treasure wheels also began to condense!
boom!
A dark shadow once again formed behind Qin Ming, and one could vaguely see the outline of a giant spirit god.

Followed by.

The majestic figure of the giant spirit king that towered over the sky and the earth appeared in Qin Ming's mind again.

Countless stars flickered around him, and his every move exuded an aura of destruction.

Next.

Qin Ming's demon baby relied on the inheritance of the giant spirit king's ancestral totem to absorb the power of the sacred mountain in the Yuanji Sacred Mountain, and once again advanced his body refining skills to an unprecedented level.

The Yuanji divine light continued to emerge from the body and gradually formed a layer of liquid-like aurora film on Qin Ming's body surface.

'This is the power of the Aurora, it can break everything! ! '

Even though Qin Ming is always calm, he is very excited at this moment!

Time passes slowly.

Qin Ming's retreat lasted for several months.

This day.

The Sky-Eating Rat was following Qin Ming's instructions and watering the Earth's Spirit Spring in Qingqiongtian on time.

Suddenly!
There was a loud 'boom' in the cave on the main peak, and an incomparably powerful spiritual pressure spread out from it!

So much so that the earth trembled three times.

The Sky-Eating Rat was so frightened that it quickly hid behind the giant tree and secretly glanced in the direction of the cave. Then it patted its chest and said, "It was just a false alarm."

"What kind of skills is the master practicing? Why is there such a big commotion?"

"This spiritual pressure makes me feel like I'm facing an old monster in the Void Refinement Stage. Oh my god."

The overwhelming and overbearing spiritual pressure continued to spread outwards, like layers of surging waves, sweeping across the entire Little Turtle Peak.
Such a drastic change.

Baili Hui, Mo Lingwei, and Fairy Lan Bing were so shocked that they all came out and looked in the direction of Qin Ming's cave.

Everyone's face showed an expression of extreme shock!
Especially Fairy Blue Ice, she has the highest cultivation among everyone, and at this moment, facing the pure momentum surging from Qin Ming's cave.

The whole person is like a small boat in the boundless ocean waves.
"This terrifying aura completely surpasses that of the God Transformation Realm."

"Did Fellow Daoist Qin break through to the Void Refining Stage? No, he did not trigger the aura of heaven and earth, so he is not breaking through to the Void Refining Stage."

"Could it be"

A very scary thought came into her mind.
……

Roar!
An extremely violent force surged around Qin Ming, causing the nearby void to become distorted.

After absorbing the power of the Yuanji Divine Mountain for several months, the ancestral totem on the demon infant's forehead also underwent tremendous changes.

It completely transformed into a giant divine pattern that operated on its own and was constantly being born and destroyed. This was the symbol of the giant's royal authority and the source of its power.

Above the divine pattern, there emanated power fluctuations that caused countless true spirits to tremble.

The sixth circle of black treasure wheel behind him suddenly condensed!

“I didn’t expect that by such a coincidence, I could actually cultivate the ancestral pattern of the giant spirit race and absorb the power of the Yuanji Divine Mountain. I broke through the sixth level of the Demonic True Spirit Art in one fell swoop and reached the perfect state of spiritual transformation and body refinement.”

"At this moment, my physical strength is comparable to that of a sixth-level demon god, or even better."

"And I have also cultivated the power of Yuanji. When I use it, I can block all kinds of magic. I don't think that the magic power of ordinary Lianxu period can break my defense."

"When the time is right in the future, I will refine the essence and blood of the True Spirit Kunpeng and will be able to break through to the sixth level of physical training in one fell swoop. What will that be like?"

“By then, I will be more confident in reaching the Void Refining Stage and surviving the Void Refining Great Heavenly Tribulation.”
