The road is vague

Chapter 321 Man-Eating Siren
Li Mo hadn't expected this either.

After five months of breathing exercises and adjusting his physical and mental state to its optimal level, his spiritual power reacted naturally, like boiling water.

He could only explain this situation by saying that his own foundation was too strong, so that his spiritual power would boil on its own without any external stimulation, thus initiating the advancement process.

Although the incident was sudden, fortunately Li Mo had made preparations in advance.

Thunder rumbled within the sealed chamber, forming a thunder pool.

Although this place is not a famous mountain or scenic spot, but a desolate island in the sea without spiritual veins, it has the double blessing of the Misty Spirit Eye Array and the Composite Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Array. In addition, Li Mo's pure and focused cultivation of body and mind transforms the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth into lightning. The basic conditions for advancement here are comparable to the Qingming Mountain Holy Land.

Li Mo casually lit three soul-nourishing incense sticks.

The three incense sticks emitted an indescribable fragrance that instantly filled the entire secret room. Li Mo's turbulent spiritual power was instantly calmed, and his chaotic and agitated mind became clear.

A slight smile instantly appeared on Li Mo's face. He immediately took out the Ice-Fire Pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

After the elixir entered his abdomen, it continuously generated special ice and fire power, which repeatedly tempered Li Mo's soul. In this process, it made his boiling soul power rapidly become more condensed, which had a miraculous effect on advancing to the Golden Core stage.

Li Mo couldn't help but let out a soft moan.

Although the Ice-Fire Pill is just a relatively inexpensive pill for advancing to the Golden Core stage, given away for free by the Spirit Eye Sect, it is the most practical method among all known methods for assisting in advancing to the Golden Core stage. No matter how precious other methods are, their effectiveness cannot compare to the Ice-Fire Pill.

Under the effects of the Ice-Fire Pill, Li Mo's face alternated between crimson and pale, as if he were in the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire.

He then picked up the jade box in front of him, removed the sealing talisman, and a stream of pure spiritual energy from heaven and earth overflowed out.

He held the high-grade spirit stone in the jade box, refining the Ice-Fire Pill while absorbing spiritual energy with his eyes closed.

that's it.

Seven days passed.

After being repeatedly tempered by the Ice and Fire Pill, Li Mo's spiritual power had become extremely refined. At the same time, his divine sense, under the guidance of the Soul Nourishing Incense, had returned to his body and merged with his internal magic power in his dantian into a liquid sphere the size of an orange.

Next, he must rely on celestial phenomena to further collapse and condense into a golden elixir.

Further on, the Great Dao Golden Elixir.

Taking a step back means parting ways between the mortal and immortal realms.

In Li Mo's eyes, scenes from his cultivation journey gradually emerged. Initially, he was just a wandering doctor at Jimintang in Hua'an Town. Because his hometown was flooded and his childhood sweetheart was killed, he vowed to change everything and seek the Dao through cultivation. Eventually, he found clues about the Lingmu Sect in the Eighteen Mountains.

After entering Qingming Mountain, he began to understand the world through the Enlightenment Hall, made friends in the Advanced Study Hall, got to know each other, worked hard to cultivate, became a disciple of Lu Qi, and three years passed in the blink of an eye. He established his foundation before the graduation assessment, became invincible, and went to Zhongshan Kingdom to participate in the exchange meeting.

Subsequently, he served as the deputy commander of Bai'an County and officially investigated the evil spirits in Hua'an Town that year. Together with Jiang Feiyan, Zhu Wei, Gao Zhengyi and others, he discovered the demon hidden in the Chen family. While protecting Bai'an City with Jiang Feiyan, he also refined the demon into an external avatar and participated in the war in the Southern Barbarian Cangyuan.

After that, he was transferred back to his sect to support the Justice Society's power grab, indirectly saving the Spirit Eye Sect. He then went to the State of Lu to participate in the Longevity and Enlightenment Conference, where he obtained the Stealing Rat and the Divine Herb Doll, brought back the Rainbow Bird, and used them to exchange for the Yin Virtue Pill recipe from the Imperial Princess. He then refined the Ethereal Pill and began cultivating both body and mind.

After the Southern Barbarian Sky Bear King slaughtered Bai'an City, he felt resentful and guilty upon learning the truth. He was willing to do anything to help the old assassin of the Touqi Organization find the Sky Bear King. After hunting the bear in the Sky Bear Mountains and making contributions in the Jianmen Mountain Pass, he finally got his wish, but was betrayed by the assassin. He learned that the reason was that the Touqi Organization and the Luyinsi were competing for leadership.

After being given a new lease on life by the Nirvana Pill by the old man and Xiao Zhi, they escaped to this unknown sea area through the teleportation array under the Cangyuan Stone City. The humans here are like cattle and livestock, rats crossing the street, living in constant fear and having to hide all the time.

"My thoughts are clear and my conscience is clear."

Rumble!
The moment Li Mo opened his eyes, the sky above this unnamed wild island, which had been clear and sunny, suddenly darkened, and a large number of spiritual clouds gathered there, accompanied by lightning and thunder.

At the same time, the originally calm seawater suddenly became turbulent, forming nine whirlpools, like a dragon sucking water, drawing the surging seawater into the air and turning it into a torrential downpour.

It was at this moment that the true demon's clone returned.

He sensed Li Mo's current state almost instantly. He was full of spirit and blood, and was only one step away from forming the core. But this also meant that this was his most vulnerable moment.

The two are inherently one entity.

The true demon clone immediately picked up the Purple Qi Pill obtained from the storage bag of Yao Chun Chun, a true disciple of the Undying Mountain, and used spiritual light to lift it and shoot it into the mouth of the main body. Then, it opened the bottle containing Heavenly Mystic Water and touched it to Li Mo's head.

As for the last bottle containing the chalcedony liquid...

After the true demon clone unplugged the plug, it was about to apply the substance to its main body when it hesitated. It then slowly put the plug back on, placed it in front of its main body, and looked at it.

"With the foundation of cultivating the Seven Apertures Returning to Origin Technique, the Inner Classic of Emperor Xin, and the Secret Scroll of Mountains and Seas, the chances of advancing to the Golden Core stage are far greater than those of other cultivators of the same level. My mental state is already perfect, and with so many auxiliary methods, this bottle of Jade Marrow Liquid is hard-won. I should save it for future advancement to the Nascent Soul stage."

Say it.

The true demon clone picked up the array plate and quickly left the cave, arriving above the small island to survey the strange phenomena in the sky.

The strange phenomena in the heavens and earth here became increasingly intense, and the power of heaven and earth from all directions gradually became turbulent, which made the True Demon Avatar somewhat solemn.

As the saying goes, you reap what you sow.

Just as different types of land produce different kinds of fruit, the same applies to cultivators advancing to the Golden Core stage.

The process of condensing one's divine soul to comprehend the Great Dao is inseparable from the surrounding environment and also has a cause-and-effect relationship. This is the edge area of ​​the Mountain and Sea Realm, where the power of heaven and earth is complex and mottled. This is not a good thing for most people who are advancing, but it seems to be quite useful for Li Mo, who is comprehending the multiverse chaotic thunder Dao.

At this time.

Disturbed by the strange phenomena in the heavens and earth, a group of black fish appeared in the sea. They were seven feet long and numbered over a hundred. Each of them had a large head with long horns, sharp teeth and mouths, and were extremely ferocious. They all leaped up and flew towards the island.

These deep-sea monsters, once they become sentient, will eat people and become alien gods.

The demonic avatar looked over. He saw that these strange fish had no intelligence and were only acting on instinct, wanting to devour the energy of those who were seeking enlightenment here, which would greatly enhance their cultivation.

So he quickly manipulated the array plate for a while and then ignored it.

These strange fish rushed into the island's formation and were immediately trapped inside.

Followed by.

The true demon avatar looked up and saw a strange bird appear in the spiritual clouds.

This strange bird had a wingspan of over two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters), no feathers on its body, and an unusually long beak with four claws. It hovered high in the sky, clearly possessing intelligence and not easily descending.

"To advance in cultivation overseas, one must also face the threat of these man-eating monsters."

Li Mo further realized the difficult situation he was in here, unlike in the Central Plains where he could advance without any worries.

The strange bird, which had been circling for a long time, could no longer resist the temptation.

After letting out a strange cry, it immediately swooped down and plunged into the illusion array. The true demon clone immediately drew its spine greatsword and charged towards it.

The strange bird opened its beak and exhaled a gust of gray, eerie wind.

However, this demonic wind, emanating a brutal aura, was easily swept away by the black-gold bone sword when it faced the True Demon clone's spine greatsword. The next moment, the True Demon clone appeared on the head of this strange bird and summoned a wisp of Asura Demon Fire.

Sensing the terrifying power of the Asura Demon Fire, the strange bird cried out in alarm and split into three, flying off in different directions.

After the demonic fire burned away one of the phantom birds, the true demon clone, with the help of the array, quickly dealt with the other two birds and obtained a purple demon core.

"These man-eating monsters from overseas actually have such abundant demon core spiritual energy?"

The true demon clone, holding the demon core, marveled at the sight.

This strange bird possesses the peak cultivation of the late Foundation Establishment stage. The strength of its demon core's spiritual power is enough to make even a True Demon clone's heart flutter. It is sufficient to be used as a spiritual medicine to enhance the cultivation of the Golden Core stage.

After this brief delay, two more man-eating sea monsters gathered nearby.

One of them had a human body and a fish tail, with gill fins around its head, a bluish-gray body, and held a coral halberd in the seawater. Its purple eyes looked at the island shrouded by the flag array.

The other siren was a seahorse that formed a giant water sphere in the air, enveloped by layers of seawater.

The true demon clone, holding the array plate, did not choose to take the initiative to attack, lest it be lured away from its mountain stronghold.

Compared to hunting down these man-eating sea monsters for their demon cores, protecting one's own body is undoubtedly more important.

These two sea monsters were clearly quite intelligent, realizing there was a trap lying in their way, but they were reluctant to leave. Like the strange bird from before, they were both at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. They could advance further if they devoured the cultivators on the island.

The two sides remained in a silent standoff.

Just as the strange phenomena in the surrounding world intensified and the spiritual fluctuations of the enlightened one became clearer, intersecting with the natural order of the world, the two sea monsters finally couldn't hold back any longer and began to gradually approach the island.

Just then, the true demon clone revealed a cold smile.

Just as he was preparing to use the formation to trap the two sea monsters and then hunt them down for their pills, the two sea monsters, who were only a stone's throw away from the island, suddenly stopped at the same time.

After showing a hint of panic, they quickly submerged into the sea and disappeared.

"kindness?"

As the demonic clone was taken aback, a huge black shadow rapidly approached from the seabed.

A huge whirlpool suddenly formed on the turbulent sea.

Upon seeing this, the true demon avatar finally understood. His expression turned somewhat solemn, and his gray-white eyes looked at the giant conch shell that was gradually rising in the vortex, resembling a small mountain.
Just as the true demon clone thought it was a conch shell, a giant crab suddenly appeared under the shell.

This is actually a hermit crab that has become a spirit!
It brandished its enormous claws and stared at you with indifferent eyes.

"A man-eating sea monster at the Golden Core stage is actually hidden in this sea area."

of course.

For the local humans, they are called Outer Gods, similar in status to the man-eating monsters of the Southern Barbarian Lands, beings that everyone hates. However, humans are not the rulers here, so these man-eating sea monsters have become the so-called Outer Gods, standing on equal footing with the gods who treat humans as livestock.

The true demon clone stood atop the great formation.

This man-eating sea monster put him under unprecedented pressure.

Fortunately at this time.

Dense lightning began to appear in the turbulent spiritual clouds surrounding the sea, constantly converging towards the island, making the entire island seem to be shrouded in a layer of lightning.

A dense static electricity permeated the air, causing the true demon clone's hair and clothes to flutter.

Such extraordinary phenomena occurred during the advancement to the Golden Core stage; once the advancement is successful, it will surely be extraordinary.

But in contrast.

In the eyes of the man-eating sea monster, this is also a rare and highly nourishing substance. Once it is devoured, it will have unlimited potential in the future, and can continuously refine the essence of the sun and moon without worrying about human cultivation.
