I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 142: Reaching the pinnacle, top-grade spiritual veins (four thousand)

On the third day after leaving the Immortal Peak, it was the day that Lan Qingxian agreed to open the Floating Life River and Mountain Map.

A group of elders brought their outstanding disciples to the appointment.

Lai Yang chose to let himself in. His disciple was Lan Qingxian's disciple, so he could get it for free.

Baili Xun dropped a drop of blood on the Floating Life and Rivers Map, successfully opening the entrance to the Floating Life and Rivers Map.

"The Floating Rivers and Mountains Map contains an independent space, which also contains powerful opportunities and martial arts insights. As for how much you can obtain, it depends on your own abilities. It is also quite dangerous, so please be careful. You have one year to cultivate inside. After a year, I will open the exit again and let you out."

"Competition is allowed within the secret realm, but killing fellow disciples is not allowed. Once I discover that anyone dares to harm a fellow disciple in the secret realm, they will be killed!"

A terrifying murderous intent emanated from Lan Qingxian's body, causing everyone to hold their breath and feel nervous.

Soon, Lan Qingxian withdrew his breath again, waved his hand gently and said: "Okay, you can go in."

Everyone rushed to fly towards the Floating Life River and Mountain Picture, and their bodies were completely sucked into it.

After everyone entered, Lan Qingxian temporarily closed the entrance to the Floating Life River and Mountain Map.

"Alright, elders, please go back. I will release you disciples in a year."

"Thank you, Sect Master. I'll take my leave."

……

On the other side, Lai Yang and more than 30 others entered the Floating Life Rivers and Mountains Map.

When they entered the world in the Floating Life Rivers and Mountains Map, they discovered that this space was even larger than they had imagined.

The majestic mountains, the lush forests, the mighty rivers, and the brilliant stars across the sky are breathtakingly beautiful.

On the highest mountain not far from them, there stood countless stone tablets. Each of the stone tablets seemed to emit a special aura, attracting everyone to come.

"Everyone, look at that mountain peak. Could that be the Enlightenment Monument?"

"Haha, I'll go first."

"Hmph, don't try to sneak away."

Seeing this, everyone flew towards the stone tablet not far away.

Li Xiaowen didn't rush to catch up, but looked at Lai Yang and said, "Sir, let's go over and take a look."

Lai Yang nodded, and the four of them flew slowly towards the Wudao Mountain not far away.

After a while, they landed on the top of the mountain and saw that many people were already sitting cross-legged near the stone tablets, entering a state of comprehension and cultivation.

"These stone tablets seem to contain very powerful artistic conception." Chu Xiao murmured as he felt the aura emanating from the stone tablets.

"Alright, let's all go practice. We only have one year, so time is running out."

"Ah."

The four of them followed their respective feelings and came to a stone tablet respectively, and sat down to comprehend the artistic conception and martial arts on the tablet.

Lai Yang's spiritual consciousness entered the interior of the stone tablet, and suddenly a huge amount of information rushed into his mind. It was the inheritance left here by the owner of the stone tablet.

The other party was a powerful man from the Baili family who had entered the seventh realm. Before his life was about to end, he left his life and martial arts insights here, waiting for future generations to observe and comprehend them, and inherit his mantle.

Lai Yang discovered that the stone tablet in front of him not only contained the other party's insights into martial arts, but also contained the strongest technique that the other party had practiced throughout his life.

Although it is not as powerful as the heaven-defying martial arts that Lai Yang has comprehended on his own, it still has many aspects worth learning from, which can be used to improve subsequent martial arts.

Lai Yang meditated quietly and carefully observed the mysterious secrets on the stone tablet. Countless experiences of his ancestors flooded into his mind.

Unconsciously, he watched the life of the owner of the stone tablet from the perspective of an observer, feeling the other party's sorrows and joys, and at the same time he also integrated and mastered the other party's skills.

The whole process, which seemed extremely long, actually took less than half a day.

Lai Yang opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. His spiritual power did not change at all, but his artistic conception seemed to have become more condensed.

The artistic conception is not as obvious as the physical body or spiritual power, it is mysterious.

The sword has its own sword intent, the fist has its own fist intent, the knife has its own knife intent, and anything can be cultivated to develop artistic conception.

Once you comprehend the artistic conception, fighting against opponents of the same realm and higher levels will be as easy as eating and drinking.

How many cultivators spend their entire lives without ever reaching the threshold of artistic conception, and remain mediocre.

Artistic conception is the stepping stone to becoming an immortal. Once you comprehend the artistic conception and then understand the Tao, you will have the possibility of ascending to become an immortal.

Realizing that the insights on the stone tablet are beneficial to one's own breakthrough in artistic conception.

Lai Yang did not hesitate, he stood up and changed the stone tablet to continue his contemplation.

Time passed quietly, and many disciples of the Wenxian Sect broke through their realms through their understanding. Their foundation became more solid and their strength became more powerful.

Among them, the three people who gave people the most obvious changes were naturally Li Xiaowen, Li Xiaonuan and Chu Xiao.

Someone accidentally discovered that Lai Yang was changing the stone tablet every day, while most of the disciples were always immersed in the insights of a stone tablet, trying hard to integrate the insights on the stone tablet into themselves.

What was this elder who came in with them like? It was impossible that he couldn't even comprehend a single stone tablet, right?
However, they don't have the extra time to care about others. The more they can understand about a stone tablet, the more benefits they will get.

After all, they only had one year, and three months had already passed unknowingly, with more than half of the people still standing in front of the first stone tablet.

It’s not that they are bad, but the person who can leave the artistic conception and insights on the stone tablet is not a simple person.

All of them are giants in the continent of Wenxian. How could the inheritance left by such people be so easy to fully comprehend?

As the saying goes, you can't chew too much. Instead of spending time on other stone tablets, it is better to concentrate on one place of cultivation that suits you, which will greatly improve your own strength.

At this moment, Li Xiaowen and Li Xiaonuan had already comprehended the ninth stone tablet, Chu Xiao had comprehended the twelfth stone tablet, and their comprehension speed was getting faster and faster.

As for Lai Yang, the outlier, of the 238 stone tablets at the top of Wudao Mountain, only the last 15 were left that he had yet to comprehend.

It took half a day at first, but as he spent more and more time on comprehension, Lai Yang discovered that most of the artistic conception and exercises had similarities.

As the saying goes, if you understand one thing, you will understand all things. Later, from the time he sat in front of the stone tablet to the time he stood up and walked to the next stone tablet, the whole process did not even take more than three hours.

Most of the time was spent carefully observing the life experience of the owner of the stone tablet, otherwise it would not even take half an hour.

Unconsciously, Lai Yang's sword intent had reached the pinnacle, and his other artistic conceptions were at least at the great perfection level, and he was even only one step away from true enlightenment.

But he didn't dare to attain enlightenment. Lai Yang had a nagging feeling that if he succeeded, he might be forced to ascend. He didn't want to go to the upper realm to confirm his thoughts. His current strength was still very weak. Even if he could attain enlightenment and possess the combat power of an immortal, how much stronger would he be? He would still be defeated if he encountered a true immortal.

True immortals are not enough, what if there are golden immortals?

Stay steady, don’t waste time, absolutely don’t waste time!

Lai Yang took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the urge to gain enlightenment, and continued to comprehend the remaining stone tablets.

After he had thoroughly comprehended all the stone tablets, although Lai Yang's spiritual realm did not make much breakthrough, he was now confident that he could destroy an ordinary cultivator at the peak of the seventh realm with one sword without burning his lifespan.

Countless insights, coupled with the pinnacle of sword intent, and the terrifying boost given by the system plug-in, gave him enough self-confidence.

It is no exaggeration to say that from this moment on, Lai Yang has truly stood at the pinnacle of the Wenxian Continent.

After nearly one hundred and fifty years of hardship, he finally made it through.

As long as you don't ascend, who will have the qualifications to show off in front of him in the future? If you show off, you will be able to fly!
Lai Yang's spiritual consciousness subconsciously fell on Li Xiaowen, Li Xiaonuan, and Chu Xiao respectively. He saw that they were still meditating in front of the stone tablet, and the aura around them became more and more unfathomable.

It had only been three months since they entered the Floating Life River and Mountain Map, and there were still nine months until the exit would open.

Lai Yang thought that he could take advantage of this time to explore the secret opportunities in the Floating Life Rivers and Mountains Map, and perhaps make a breakthrough in his realm of cultivation.

Lai Yang's vast spiritual sense extended for tens of thousands of miles around, and there was no end in sight.

The concentration of spiritual energy between heaven and earth is very high, and there are also powerful monsters lurking nearby. Some disciples are fighting with powerful monsters in order to improve their perception and experience.

There are also disciples who choose to give up the insights on the stone tablet and directly look for opportunities in the secret realm.

Lai Yang had no intention of competing with those disciples. Most of the nearby cultivation resources were of little use to him.

Lai Yang left Wudao Mountain directly and went deep into the secret realm hoping to find better resources for cultivation.

At this moment, Lai Yang no longer had any worries. He released his powerful spiritual sense to search back and forth in the secret realm.

He forcibly took away anything he saw in the vicinity, just like a bandit entering a village.

Fifth-level Xuanyuan Grass? Got it.

Sixth-level Earth Marrow Jade Liquid? Drain it!
A sixth-rank demon beast dares to show its fangs? Destroy it!

Mine, mine, all mine!

Perhaps none of the successive owners of the Floating Life Rivers and Mountains Map had thought that they had clearly set a rule that no one over 150 years old could enter the secret realm.

At the age of one hundred and fifty, he is already a genius. It is extremely extraordinary that he can break through to the Hedao realm. How could he wantonly sweep away the cultivation resources in the secret realm?

Those were opportunities reserved for the younger generations of the clan, but now they have all been taken advantage of by an outsider. This is truly unfilial behavior on the part of the descendants.

I wonder if they would be so angry that they would come back to life if they knew about this in the afterlife.

Just as Lai Yang was happily harvesting the resources in the secret realm, a place suddenly caught Lai Yang's attention.

It is almost the area with the most concentrated spiritual energy in the entire Fu Sheng Jiang Shan Tu, and it is also the most dangerous place, where there are many auras above the sixth level.

Of course, the danger is only for other people, what does it have to do with him?

Lai Yang's figure appeared in the sky. When he got closer, Lai Yang was shocked to find that there was a powerful spiritual vein hidden in this place!

Its quality is probably more than a hundred times stronger than the low-grade spiritual vein buried under Yuanyang Mountain.

This place is probably not the main core to maintain the normal operation of the entire Fu Sheng Jiang Shan Tu.

If Lai Yang's formation ability was not strong enough, ordinary cultivators might not be able to see the clues.

Lai Yang's eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of fiery excitement. He guessed in his heart that the quality of this spiritual vein might have reached the top level. The terrifying energy contained in the spiritual vein was even enough to allow him to directly break through to the realm after the Tribulation Realm.

Since Lai Yang has mixed spiritual roots and all the meridians and acupoints in his body are opened up, the cultivation resources he needs are dozens of times more than those of cultivators at the same level.

The energy contained in a top-grade spiritual vein is enough to cultivate dozens of powerful people in the Tribulation Realm. Even most of the upper-grade immortal forces are unable to possess top-grade spiritual veins.

Who could have imagined that there was a top-grade spiritual vein hidden in the Fu Sheng Jiang Shan Tu? If this news was known by people from other forces, the Fu Sheng Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago.

But then again, since the Fu Sheng Dynasty possesses top-grade spiritual veins, how could it have only three powerful men in the seventh realm?

If this spiritual vein is used well, the Fusheng Dynasty can definitely become one of the top forces in the Wenxian Continent.

Don’t they even know that there is a top-grade spiritual vein hidden in the Floating Life River and Mountain Map?

Little did people know that the "Floating Rivers and Mountains Map" was the retreat left by the founder of the Fu Sheng Dynasty to future generations.

If the Fusheng Dynasty were to be destroyed one day, future generations of the clan would have the hope of making a comeback with the clan treasure.

However, the ancestor of the Baili family died prematurely before he could tell his clansmen about this matter.

As a result, the Floating Life River and Mountain Picture has been passed down to this day, and the people of the Baili family only use it as an extremely important treasure, but they never imagined that there is another mystery in it, and it contains opportunities for great wealth and honor.

If they knew about this, they would not still be a second-rate force in the Wenxian Continent, and would not even be almost destroyed by Kui Zong.

Lai Yang hesitated for a moment, then his eyes suddenly became determined. He thought to himself, "If I strip away the spirit vein, without its constant supply of spiritual energy, I'm afraid this independent space will soon be destroyed. But if you don't work for yourself, you'll be punished by heaven and earth. This opportunity is right in front of me. If I give up, wouldn't that just give it to someone else? Since I've come across it, it's destined to be my opportunity."

Thinking of this, Lai Yang did not hesitate any longer and immediately took action to move the spiritual vein away.

However, just as Lai Yang was about to take action, an extremely dangerous aura suddenly descended, and the terrifying and shocking killing formation suddenly trapped Lai Yang inside.

Lai Yang's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice:

"Fuck, it's not that easy for me to take the spiritual vein. I actually have a backup plan. If someone tries to take the spiritual vein, the protection mechanism will be triggered."

"The murderous aura of this formation is so strong that it can even threaten those at the peak of the Tribulation Realm."

"If it were my old self, it might have caused me some trouble, but now this formation is no longer powerful enough for me."

Lai Yang took out a high-grade spiritual sword with a flip of his hand, and the aura of the pinnacle of sword intent burst out from his body: "Break it for me!"

Lai Yang broke the killing formation with one sword, and then successfully stored the top-grade spiritual vein into the space. A satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Mission accomplished. Now I don't have to worry about resources for cultivation in the Tribulation Realm. Haha."

"With such a big commotion, someone must have noticed it."

"It's better to have less trouble than more. When the wind blows, just pull it out."
