The Demon Cultivator of the Sword

Chapter 166: Xuanyin Constitution, Demonic Essence More Powerful Than True Essence

"It's time to leave."

Looking up, Gu Yuan's gaze passed through the city and fell on the extremely distant waters.

In these three days, he had completely consolidated his cultivation to the late stage of the Star Realm, and restored the nine Shura Holy Fires in his Dantian.

Now you can go look for the location recorded on the photo bead.

The next day!

Gu Yuan left Nanhe Island alone without notifying anyone.

In the boundless waters, Gu Yuan was suspended in the air with a map spread out in his hands.

"The location of this red dot has never appeared in the waters recorded on Nanhe Island. Let's go to other islands to check."

Putting away the map, Gu Yuan flew to the nearest island.

Seven days later.

"arrive!"

Following the same method, Gu Yuan went to the island to buy a map and used it as a reference with the map of the photo bead.

The third island!
The fourth island!
The tenth island

The 300th island.

"Still no, this damn place is really hard to find."

Three hundred and twenty-third island.

The 400th island.

The 500th island.

"Oops, I was wrong. It turns out that this red dot is in the Black Horn area!"

Finally, Gu Yuan found the location recorded on the red dot on Holy Demon Island, the largest island in Scorpio Lake.

What made him laugh and cry was that this location was in the Black Horn Region, and this region had two fifth-grade sects, the Divine Whip Sect and the Blood Robe Sect, which were the sects where Cui Yinghao and Tang Jie were respectively.

The Scorpio Lake where this domain is located is full of uninhabited islands, which caused Gu Yuan to miss it and fly millions of miles in vain.

Gu Yuan then recalled that in the original novel, Cui Yinghao seemed to have searched for an ancient tomb, and found enough spiritual energy crystals in it to build a spiritual body.

Perhaps it is the location recorded on this plant.

"It's true that one wrong step leads to another. Well, it's not a bad thing to travel to so many places at once."

The search for the ancient tomb over the past six months has had a great impact on Gu Yuan. Strictly speaking, it has had a greater impact than accepting the test of Scorpio King's will.

State of mind, what is state of mind?

In fact, it is a person’s inner world, in short, the heart.

Is Gu Yuan really that obsessed with the ancient tomb?

Actually, that’s not entirely true.

There may be a factor of using this to temper one's state of mind.

Outward strength is not real strength. Inner strength is the strength that comes from within.

The nearly six-month boring journey had raised Gu Yuan's state of mind to an extremely terrifying level.

On average, he had to search for seven or eight possible locations of red dots a day. Each time he searched, his soul power had to locate them hundreds or thousands of times. In six months, that would be tens of millions of times. Any Star Realm expert would have given up long ago.

Even if he had more perseverance, his mental strength was not enough. This was not the most uncomfortable thing. The uncomfortable thing was that Gu Yuan did not know when he would be able to find the ancient tomb.

Maybe a few months, maybe a few years.

Everything is unknown, and who can stand up again and defeat themselves after repeated disappointments and lack of confidence? Gu Yuan's experience in nearly six months included all the setbacks that an ordinary person would experience in several lifetimes.

Of course, the rewards of defeating yourself again and again are fruitful, far more than you imagined.

The strength of his state of mind made Gu Yuan's will even more indestructible and unshakable, and every bit of his will was exceptionally pure.

This caused the prototype of the sword spirit, which was originally only partially shining, to be completely enveloped by the scarlet light.

"Once the light appears, the will is almost immortal. I see."

A scarlet light quietly burst out from Gu Yuan's pupils, captivating everyone.

With the exact location.

It is undoubtedly much easier to find.

Two months later, Gu Yuan finally found the ancient tomb deep underground on an uninhabited island in the Black Horn region.

This is an underground ancient tomb that is hundreds of miles wide. Inside the tomb, there are countless corpses and gullies everywhere, both those of demons and humans.

"It looks like this should be the ancient tomb that Cui Yinghao found in the original novel. There are so many corpses buried there. It's a pity that it has been visited by a king in the realm of life and death."

Gu Yuan looked at the damaged sarcophagus in the center. Before he came in, no one had ever opened the ancient tomb.

And being able to enter without going through the gate of the passage, only the king of the Life and Death Realm can do it.

"Fortunately, the corpse of the King of Life and Death Realm was not taken away. With these corpses, it should be enough to train a spiritual body."

After more than half a year of cultivation using top-grade spirit stones, Gu Yuan's cultivation has reached the peak of the late Star Realm. Next, he only needs to cultivate his spiritual body, condense the evil sword soul, accumulate true essence, and then he can enter the Spirit Sea Realm.

As for the Dark Sword Soul and the Immortal Sword Soul, he would need to enter the Spirit Sea Realm. With his current soul strength, he was unable to accommodate more than two sword souls at the same time.

However, since I know that I have the Xuanyin constitution, it would be better to stimulate it as soon as possible.

After all, when you enter the Spiritual Sea Realm, the stronger you are, the stronger the thunder tribulation you will experience.

When a warrior enters the Spirit Sea Realm, he increases the strength of his soul through the tempering of thunder tribulations.

The stronger the thunder tribulation you experience, the better.

An hour later, Gu Yuan had collected all the psychic energy crystals and magic energy crystals contained in the corpses.

They come in different sizes, some are as big as longan and some are as small as soybeans.

Only the seven spiritual energy crystals left on the bones of the King of Life and Death Realm after his death were relatively large, as big as eggs.

"Let's start by refining the magic crystal. This is what was left behind by the demon spirit sea realm after its death. It should be able to meet the conditions for activating the Xuanyin body."

Looking at the two piles of hundreds of psychic crystals and magic crystals in front of him, Gu Yuan grabbed a handful, held them in his palm, put his hands together, and tried his best to absorb the energy from the magic crystals.

As the black energy entered his body, Gu Yuan couldn't help but groan. It was such a wonderful feeling, as if his body had been dry for a long time. It was desperately absorbing the black energy without having to control it at all.

After absorbing a dozen magic crystals in one handful, Gu Yuan began to absorb the second handful...

Half a day passed, and nearly two hundred magic crystals were all absorbed. Minor changes also took place on Gu Yuan's body. A faint red halo permeated his body, vibrating at a speed invisible to the naked eye. His entire flesh and blood body seemed to be made of diamonds, because how could the human body withstand such extremely pure true essence? The purity of this true essence surpassed all the Star Realm powerhouses he had ever seen, even Tan Tai Mingyue, who had practiced the technique to the fifteenth level, was slightly inferior to it.

"Is this the magic energy unique to the Xuanyin body?"

Without any hesitation, Gu Yuan tried his best to practice his skills, guiding this magic energy to assimilate his original true energy. He even ignored the spiritual energy crystal beside him for the time being.

Three days passed, and one third of Gu Yuan's demonic essence had been transformed, but the purity of his true essence was no less than that of some attribute spirits who had cultivated the top-level earth-level techniques to the fifteenth level.
