A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 516 Auspicious Sign
Duan Rong followed a route and crossed the Wanxiang Cave.

When he stumbled and ran to the edge of the Wanxiang Cave, his body couldn't stop shaking like a shiver...

His eyes were ferocious and his face was distorted with extreme pain.

In order to increase the strength of the essence of his soul and spirit, he would extend his running route after each tempering and repair. After the tenth time, he finally crossed the entire Wanxiang Cave for the first time.

Duan Rong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, slowly exhaled, and sat cross-legged at the edge.

At this moment, the entire head of the clear glass body in his sea of consciousness had collapsed, half of the chest had been shattered, and the rest of the body was covered with scars and cracks in many places.

Duan Rong looked at the clear glass body that had rotted into such a state, and a touch of joy surged in his heart.

Because the more rotten the clear glass body is, the better the effect of tempering will be. After repair, the original source of the soul will be improved to a greater extent.

This is his experience gained through repeated tempering.

Duan Rong urged his mind and the power of the Taizang Sutra started to work. At the tree spirit sea of light, a large piece of green light surged towards the sky like a school of fish.

About an incense stick later, the clear glass body returned to normal. The originally transparent and clear surface now seemed to be faintly flashing with brilliant colors.

This kind of faint brilliant light had never been seen before.

This is a auspicious sign!
This means that after being tempered by the countless ghost eye light spots in the Wanxiang Cave for more than ten times, the clear glass body has finally undergone a qualitative improvement.

In the darkness, Duan Rong suddenly opened his eyes and then stood up.

He took a look and saw an area not far from the edge. There were two ghost eye spots in the area, flashing continuously.

Duan Rong took two steps along the edge and suddenly stepped into the area over there.

The moment he stepped into that area, his heart moved. The two ghost eyes in that area opened wide and stared at him, but did not attack him.

Moreover, the moment he stepped into this area, he established a weak spiritual connection with him.

What he expected was correct. After the clear glass body had undergone a qualitative improvement, the area of the two ghost eye light spots no longer attacked him, and instead entered a melting state on him.

Duan Rong's eyes moved, and he stepped into another area next to him. There were also two ghost eye spots in that area, and the same scene happened again.

Duan Rong took a deep breath, stepped across the area, and entered an area with three ghost eye spots.

As soon as he entered that area, three ghost eye spots of light immediately attacked him.

It seems that the only thing left to establish a spiritual connection with the thousands of ghost eyes and light spots in the Wanxiang Cave is this last hurdle.

That is the area with three ghost eye spots.

His spiritual origin is still not strong enough!
Duan Rong then started running again, crossing the entire Wanxiang Cave.

He stopped at the edge, sat cross-legged, and entered the spiritual sea of consciousness.

In the sea of consciousness, only half of the head of the clear glass body was rotten, and the damage was far less serious than the previous times.

"It seems that just crossing the Wanxiang Cave is not enough."

There are two main reasons why the damage was so small. First, the clear glass body has been qualitatively improved and is stronger than before. The second reason is that all the areas of the two ghost eye spots no longer attack him, and the overall attack strength is reduced by nearly half.

The damage is small, so I thought the improvement speed was slow! We must change the route!

Duan Rong stood up from the edge again, his eyes suddenly focused, and he ran into the Wanxiang Cave. He actually started to circle in the huge Wanxiang Cave.

Thousands of ghostly eye spots once again enveloped him, and murderous intent surged in his sea of consciousness...

Duan Rong ran to the edge with a trembling body. He bent over and supported himself there, breathing heavily. The murderous intent in his sea of consciousness receded, but the remaining pain in his soul still made his face twitch.

Duan Rong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, sat cross-legged for a while, and when he saw the scene in his sea of consciousness, he couldn't help but smile.

"That's what it's like! This is exactly the effect we want!"

At this time, within the spiritual sea of consciousness, the clear glass body had been shattered beyond recognition, with half of the body completely rotten, revealing a gray shadow that was still churning inside.

Duan Rong was very happy with this kind of scene. The more serious the injury, the better the tempering effect.

He urged his mind to activate the Taizang Sutra's skills, and dense strands of green light immediately poured into the roiling gray shadow.

The grey shadow greedily absorbed the green light threads. As it rolled, the green light threads were absorbed and refined by it, becoming a part of the origin of its soul.

After the green light threads flowed in, about half an incense stick of time passed, and the cracks on the surface of the clear glass body, which only had half of the body left, began to heal, and the broken parts also intertwined like light threads, surging like new...

Then, slowly, the clear glass body began to be woven out by the light threads bit by bit and reappeared...

After an incense stick and a half, a new clear glass body appeared in Duan Rong's sea of consciousness, shining brightly, as if it was reborn!
The moment the repair was completed, Duan Rong rushed into the Wanxiang Cave again and circled around, attracting thousands of ghost eyes and spots of light that enveloped him again...

After doing this five or six times, Duan Rong opened his eyes again at the edge of darkness. At this time, in his spiritual sea of consciousness, the surface of the clear glass body had already shown colorful fluorescence, flowing faintly.

The entire clear and pure glass body presents an auspicious appearance, thorough and solemn, just like an immortal or Buddha.

The clear glass body in Duan Rong's sea of consciousness has reached this level after repeated tempering. This is obviously of great benefit to Duan Rong, but Duan Rong has no time to think about these things at this moment. He has only one thought in his mind, which is to find a way to survive in this killing situation in the Wanxiang Cave.

The moment the repair was completed, Duan Rong rushed into the Wanxiang Cave again.

The moment he stepped into the Wanxiang Cave, something strange happened!
The three ghost eye spots in that area did not attack, but switched to a fusion state the moment he stepped in, establishing a connection with his soul.

Duan Rong paused! He knew the final moment had come!

He then strolled around in the Wanxiang Cave, like a clumsy dancer in the dark; his dance steps were messy and without any sense of beauty.

But behind him, thousands of lights lit up for him. They were the bright spots of ghost eyes wide open in the darkness.

He quickly walked through the Wanxiang Cave, which was four or five meters square, without missing a single area!
At this time, the countless ghost eyes in the Wanxiang Cave no longer flickered. They all opened their eyes wide and looked at Duan Rong.

The entire sky of Wanxiang Cave was lit up for him, like the low-hanging starry sky in the wilderness on a summer night.

At this moment, Duan Rong was horrified!

Because, the moment he established a spiritual connection with all the ghost eye spots in the Wanxiang Cave, it was like turning on a switch, and he instantly understood the operating principles of the entire Wanxiang Cave.

He even knew the location of the array plates, array flags, and array centers; he saw the entire structure beneath the surface.

Duan Rong's eyes moved, and he walked towards a formation plate at the edge of the Wanxiang Cave. With the help of the spiritual connection with the ghost eye light spots in the entire Wanxiang Cave, he could clearly see that there was a key formation plate at that location.

Duan Rong hit the edge and could not move forward, but the formation was just half a step away.

"Space wall!"

Through the spiritual connection with the ghost eye light spot, Duan Rong already knew clearly what was blocking him from approaching the formation.

He knew it, but he couldn't get around it.

Although he can understand the operating rules of the entire Wanxiang Cave, it does not mean that he can change it.

For example, the array disk half a step away. He knew that it was one of the key array disks that controlled the Wanxiang Cave, but he could not get close to it.

Duan Rong only hesitated for a moment, then turned his gaze and looked at the thousands of ghost eyes in the night sky. The array plate, array pennant and array eye represented the underlying rules of the operation of the Wanxiang Cave, but these things were sealed by the space wall and he could not touch them at all.

Perhaps the only thing he could adjust was the ghostly eye spots on the night sky.

Without disturbing the underlying rules, the operation of the peripheral system also has a lot of gray areas that can be adjusted. Duan Rong believes that this principle applies to any real system.

Since he couldn't touch the underlying rules, he would work hard on these ghost eye spots.

Duan Rong soon discovered that these ghost eye spots could actually be mobilized in different areas. As long as he gave orders to the ghost eye spots in two areas at the same time, he could complete the mobilization between areas.

Duan Rong issued an order to make a single ghost eye light spot in one area enter the area of the three ghost eye light spots next to it.

Duan Rong looked at the Wanxiang Cave, and his eyes flickered as he looked at the area where the four ghost eye spots appeared for the first time due to his manipulation.

If you can have four, you can have five...

Duan Rong studied it for a while and found that these ghost eye light spots, apart from being able to move between different areas, seemed to have no other space to manipulate.

Because he cannot change the ghost eye spots themselves, their existence is determined by the array plates and array flags within the talisman array. The only thing he can do is to move them between different areas.

But just this point, if used well, can be very terrifying!

After Duan Rong confirmed that these ghost eye spots had no other space to manipulate, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked somewhere in the darkness.

He knew that place was the exit of Wanxiang Cave.

Duan Rong walked over slowly and stood at the edge. With a thought, the darkness in front of him suddenly became blurry and then a dim light flashed.

Duan Rong's heart trembled, and the exit of Wanxiang Cave opened.

The exit of the Wanxiang Cave is not a sealed space wall. If it were, it would be impossible to enter or exit. This place is just an illusion.

After Duan Rong established a spiritual connection with the countless ghost eye spots in the entire Wanxiang Cave, he could now control the entire Wanxiang Cave without disturbing the underlying rules of the Wanxiang Cave, and naturally he could freely enter and exit the exit of this talisman formation.

Duan Rong stepped out slowly.

The dim light came from a long-burning lamp in front of the stone wall. In a large stone bowl there was half a bowl of Yuan Beast fat.

Duan Rong looked at the space in front of him, which was about ten feet square.

His eyes moved, and he suddenly wanted to release his spiritual sense to investigate.

Duan Rong's face changed suddenly as his consciousness left his body. His consciousness could not go beyond the ten-foot square area.

This means that he is still in the talisman formation.

Outside the Wanxiang Cave, there is another talisman formation.

Duan Rong sighed, and suddenly turned his head to look at the stone wall on the right.

In front of the stone wall, there stood a shrine. On the incense table in front of the shrine stood an incense burner with a stick of burnt incense in it.

The moment he looked at the shrine, Duan Rong's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

"God Whip!?"

He has suffered a lot from this thing!
Duan Rong walked over slowly and took out the divine whip from the shrine.

This was the first time he stared at the Divine Whip, and Duan Rong couldn't help but look at it carefully.

This thing was about three or four feet long, with twenty-one sections, and each section had four talismans. Duan Rong touched the talismans, some new and some old.

There were many places on the whip that were badly worn, but there were also quite a few places that were brand new and smooth, obviously newly replaced parts.

Duan Rong's eyes flickered, and he became curious. He clutched the magic whip in his hand and said to himself, "Read the weapon spirit!"

In the dim light of the confined space, a data panel flashing with faint fluorescence suddenly appeared in front of Duan Rong's eyes.

Object: Whip (damaged)
Spirit Level: Level 25

Devouring requirements: Host's mental strength level 25 (not met)
Devouring effect: Initial mastery of the soul attack rules (incomplete)

"Spiritual attack...law?!" Duan Rong's eyes were filled with astonishment.

After practicing the Taizang Sutra, he was no longer unfamiliar with soul attacks, but what exactly did the rules of soul attacks mean?

Duan Rong immediately cut off his thoughts. Since he couldn't devour it, there was no point in thinking about it anymore.

Just as he was about to put the whip in his hand back into the shrine, his eyes suddenly froze.

With the help of the dim light, he looked at the bottom of the shrine behind the incense table, where there were many broken and worn old parts.

These old parts were obviously replaced from the Whip.

Duan Rong's eyes moved, and he reached out to grab an old part. It was a section that was replaced from the twenty-one sections of the Divine Whip. The symbol on it was badly worn and blurred.

Duan Rong held the old part in his hand, his eyes flashing deep, and he thought to himself: "Read the spirit of the device!"

Looking at the data panel that suddenly appeared in front of him, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"These old parts can be devoured!"

At this time, it was already a deep night outside. In the valley of Wuliang Cliff, the night wind blew from time to time. The boy on duty at the entrance of the cave shrank his neck. He turned his head to glance at the bright yellow and mottled light coming from the depths of the cave, and then fell asleep again.

Inside the cave, Xiao Qiwu was reading the booklet at the desk by the light of a candle.

It was obtained from Jing Chou and conceived by Ge Rushong, who used the Yin-Yang fish to create the booklet of Yin-Yang Cave.

These days, he plans to study this thing carefully so as to fully understand the method of forming the Yin-Yang Cave.

In Xiao Qiwu's view, Duan Rong's death was a foregone conclusion.

As long as Duan Rong dies, he can get the Yin Fish.

Now that all the Yin-Yang fish are gathered, he will start preparing the Yin-Yang Cave Method. How can he not start working on it early?

This method was quite profound and ingenious. Xiao Qiwu had been practicing it for a whole day and night without realizing it. The candle beside him had already started shedding tears. When the night wind blew, the candle flame swayed, making Xiao Qiwu dizzy.

He looked up angrily, only to find that everything was quiet all around, and it was obviously late at night.

Xiao Qiwu moved his somewhat stiff body.

"We should go check on that kid!"

Xiao Qiwu said this and walked out of the cave.

If Duan Rong was still alive, he would give him three more blows with the divine whip and go see him tomorrow night. If he was dead, he would choose a day to tell Zhu He that he felt there was something wrong with Duan Rong and go in with Zhu He to check it out.
