The Demon Cultivator of the Sword

Chapter 167 Mysterious Soul Body
After seven days, two-thirds of Gu Yuan's magic essence was transformed, and the purity of his true essence was twice that of Tan Tai Mingyue.

On the tenth day, Gu Yuan's transformation of demonic essence was completed, and the purity of his true essence reached three times that of Tan Tai Ming Yue.

If he could also practice the Xuanyin Dafa to the fifteenth level, then perhaps the purity would be able to reach four or five times, which would definitely be a terrifying number.

Even so, at this moment, facing Tan Tai Ming Yue again, he should be able to remain undefeated.

Because the increase in the purity of true essence means the increase in defense. Even though Gu Yuan is only the prototype of a condensed sword soul and cannot provide defense, when the purity of true essence reaches a certain limit, this weakness can be ignored.

"Now I have transformed the true essence in my body into extremely pure magic essence, and completely activated my Xuanyin constitution. In the future, I will definitely be able to practice magic skills faster. It just so happens that this is a place with extremely heavy Yin energy. I can practice Xuanyin Dafa to the fifteenth level in seclusion here. But before that, I need to refine these spiritual energy crystals."

After activating the Xuanyin body, what Gu Yuan cultivated was no longer a simple spiritual body, but an existence more like a demonic body - the Xuanhun body.

If the spirit body is the ordinary sword intent among the sword intent, then the demon body is the attribute sword intent of killing, evil and so on. It is half a level higher than the simple spirit body.

As for the mysterious soul body, it is equivalent to the supreme attribute, and its power is one level higher than that of the spiritual body.

Of course, being powerful means more resource consumption.

Take the magic crystals absorbed by Gu Yuan before. If they were given to those human-demons who mainly practice magic power, they would probably have already developed into demon bodies.

But Gu Yuan had only cultivated half of his mysterious soul body.

For the next month, Gu Yuan continued to absorb spiritual energy from the spiritual energy crystal.

Different from the previous magic crystal.

This time, it also contained the skeleton of a king of the realm of life and death. It was several times more refined and several times more difficult to absorb.

It took Gu Yuan only seven days to absorb more than a hundred spiritual energy crystals from the Spirit Sea Realm, but it took him more than half a month to absorb the seven spiritual energy crystals left behind by the bones of the King of Life and Death Realm.

A month later, a green airflow ignited on Gu Yuan's body. The airflow seemed to have spirituality and shuttled wildly in Gu Yuan's body, muscles, blood, bones, and bone marrow. Under the penetration and vibration of the airflow, Gu Yuan could feel some impurities that hindered his body from moving towards perfection being expelled, shattering his entire body as if it was about to wake up again, full of activity.

"Is this the mysterious soul body?"

When he opened his eyes, Gu Yuan felt sticky all over. After taking off his clothes, he found that his skin was covered with a layer of oil. This oiliness did not do any harm to Gu Yuan's cultivation, but it was an obstacle to his cultivation of the Mysterious Soul Body and was difficult to expel.

There is an underground river in the ancient tomb. The water in the underground river is flowing and the torrent is rapid. Gu Yuan jumped into the underground river and couldn't help but groan and frowned.

"With so many spiritual energy crystals and magic energy crystals, I can only cultivate my mysterious soul body to the first level. If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid it would be more than enough to cultivate it to the second level. However, no one can absorb two kinds of crystals at the same time. Only I can do it."

Clenching his fists, Gu Yuan struck the stone wall opposite him through the air.

puff!
The surface of the stone wall seemed to be crushed into powder, sliding down with a loud noise.

If there was someone with discerning eyes here, he would be able to see that Gu Yuan did not use any true energy, will, or strength at all.

Gu Yuan smiled, "The gate from the Xingji Realm to the Linghai Realm is called the Mortal Gate. Once the spiritual body is completed, it means that half of the Mortal Gate has been passed, making the body, like a treasure, contain a trace of power. Just relying on a trace of power, it can cause destruction. And my Xuanhun body is a higher level existence than the spiritual body, and its power is equivalent to that of a second-level spiritual body. It is not much inferior to an ordinary mid-grade treasure."

As he spoke, Gu Yuan took out a low-grade dagger from the storage spiritual stage that he had obtained from some unlucky soul, and then stabbed it towards his abdomen.

when!
The low-quality dagger broke.

"Its power is pretty good, not inferior to some ordinary mid-grade treasures."

In addition to increasing defense, there is another benefit to cultivating a spiritual body before the Spirit Sea Realm, which is that the total amount of true energy is no longer restricted, and there is room for further improvement. After all, the total amount of true energy in the same realm is unchanged, and the higher the quality of the exercises, the more pure the true energy will be, but the total amount will not change.

Once a spiritual body is cultivated, the total amount of true energy will slowly increase, approaching the limit that the technique can withstand.

The same goes for the mysterious soul body and the demonic essence.

And the effect is more obvious.

After cleaning the stains on his body, Gu Yuan changed into clean clothes, took out a large pile of high-quality spirit stones, and began his formal retreat to break through to the fifteenth level, the highest realm of the Xuanyin Dafa.

A month passed, and Gu Yuan had cultivated to the peak of the fourteenth level of the Xuanyin Dafa, and completed the fifth stage of the flame transformation process. The Xuanyin Demon Fire transformed from the original black to light gold. It should be noted that from the fourteenth level to the fifteenth level of the Xuanyin Dafa, nine flame transformations are required.

Before this, Gu Yuan had only completed four flame transformation processes in the past year and a half. In just one month, he completed it once more, which was enough to show that after activating his Xuanyin body, his training speed was greatly improved.

Two months passed, and Gu Yuan completed the sixth stage of flame transformation, and most of the Xuanyin Demon Fire had been transformed into the Shura Holy Fire.

However, the first six stages are easy to break through, but the last three stages are not so easy.

Four months passed quickly.

hum!
On this day, it was cloudy and rainy in Scorpio Lake, and the entire uninhabited island where the ancient tomb was located began to tremble.

The scorching and sharp breath radiated in all directions with the island as the center, and created a large crack in the dark clouds in the sky. The rain was evaporated, and the sky became clear in an instant.

The next moment, the island was wrapped in illusory golden flames. Countless skulls emerged from the flames. As soon as they appeared, they began to show their fangs and laugh creepily. The laughter was faintly mixed with the chanting of swords, which made people feel uneasy and their blood boil.

"What a terrifying aura, someone is making a breakthrough." A hundred miles away, three figures suddenly stopped and looked towards the uninhabited island where Gu Yuan was.

"Although the Qi is terrifying, the True Essence has not reached the Spiritual Sea Realm. Let's go and take a look."

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
The three of them turned into streams of light and flew away rapidly.

After a while, the three of them arrived several miles away from the island, staring at the golden flames filled with the illusory skull without blinking.

"Haha, this is the most advanced, top-level magic technique, and it seems to be very suitable for swordsmen to practice. If I can snatch it away and practice to the same level, my strength can at least be increased by double." The old man wearing a green cannon and a green sword on his waist had his eyes lit up and laughed.
