Chapter 175: Obstruction in Refining the Sword

Obstruction in Refining the Sword

The thunder gradually faded, and the tearing pain in the limbs and bones gradually receded. The originally white bones were soon covered with tendons, veins, flesh, and blood, reconnecting the broken meridians. The surging spiritual Qi around immediately poured in, threads and strands cast into the Golden Core, and then turned into spiritual liquid to nourish the skin and repair the scars. Both Both Ruan Ci knew that this small Heavenly Tribulation of Golden Core formation, which seemed to be endless, had finally come to an end, and she could not help but sigh lightly. Looking up, she saw that the scenery around her was shimmering with spiritual light, which was a different vision from when she was Foundation Establishment. Originally, she needed to use her spirit to observe the field of momentum, but at this time, she could see two worlds at all times, and there were many phantoms hidden behind the real scenery, which were various dimensions that she had not mastered for the time being. It was just that for her at this time, even if she could not master them temporarily, she could see the phantoms. I think when she reaches the Nascent Soul stage, perhaps there will be one or two dimensions that can be used and pushed, which is hard to say.

Even with Both Both Ruan Ci's deep accumulation and strong fortune, this small Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation was extremely tricky for her. In a trance, she did not know how many years she had crossed. She only knew that the thunder power just began to pour into her divine sense, boiling her divine sense like boiling water, whipping it like a cruel torture, making Both Both Ruan Ci's divine sense peel off piece by piece, and she could only constantly urge rebirth to deal with the thunder power. You must know that divine sense damage is more tricky than Dharma body damage. Not only is the pain heart-wrenching, but it also increases nausea. Such repeated destruction, even if the intensity is relatively low, Both Both Ruan Ci can barely cope, but it is endless, and she does not know when it will end. This is the most terrible point.

If it weren't for Both Both Ruan Ci realizing the time scale, the thunder of divine sense alone would not be easy to deal with. After all, she dealt with it patiently, and after an unknown amount of time, the thunder of divine sense quietly stopped, and the thunder power wrapped her Dharma body again. This time, the pain of refining the body exceeded her experience of refining the Donghua Sword when she first entered the Dao. At the most dangerous time, the thunder power dissolved all flesh and blood, and even the white bones were only fragments, all relying on the endless jade pool water to constantly nourish and regenerate, slowly dissolving. Such pain was repeated. At first, her magic power was still full, which could be said to be more than enough, but at the very last few times, her heart and blood were exhausted, and there was a feeling of emptiness that the origin could not continue.

If it weren't for the fact that the Dao Foundation had been tempered several times, Both Both Ruan Ci would not have been able to easily cross this level of thunder power refining the body. Fortunately, her heart was calm, and her endowment was indeed rare in the world. Finally, after almost endless torture, she dissolved all the thunder power. The Golden Core on the dew-catching plate turned twelve times, stirring the void and real causality, absorbing the spiritual Qi from all sides, adjusting fortune, and smoothing causality. Even the twelfth-layer Dao Foundation was absorbing some kind of Great Dao law from the void at all times, perfecting itself, and filling some kind of void thing for the twelve-folded crack cavity in the Golden Core.

Both Both Ruan Ci did not know what the Golden Core of others looked like. This Golden Core of hers shone brightly in the inner landscape, as bright as the sun, as if without any flaws, and it was already a complete Golden Core. But upon careful inspection, there seemed to be a natural exquisite cavity in the Golden Core, twelve-folded, which needed to be refined with spiritual Qi to make up for it. It was just that for ordinary Golden Core cultivators, they only needed to condense spiritual Qi. She wanted to complete these twelve cavities, I fear she still needed to ingest many other things. However, this was different from Foundation Establishment. In the Foundation Establishment realm, the condensation of the last three layers could only begin after the ninth layer was complete, but in the Golden Core realm, the cultivation of the twelve layers seemed to be able to be carried out simultaneously. According to her sensing, her Golden Core was complete. If she wanted to advance to Nascent Soul, it seemed that she did not need to cross the barriers that other Golden Core cultivators needed to cross.

Other Golden Core cultivators originally had to cross the barriers after the Golden Core was complete to advance to Nascent Soul. In Both Both Ruan Ci's view, this barrier might also be the embodiment of those dimensions. The reason she could be exempted was because she had to fill the cavities, and the things required would only be more difficult than the barriers. However, this was always just a feeling of hers. Whether it was so, she had to wait until she was complete to say.

However, at this step, the method of thought cultivation was no longer helpful for her to advance to a major realm, and could only help her fill the cracks of spiritual Qi. The emptiness of the last three dimensions could only be filled by Both Both Ruan Ci herself. The countless sword seed true spirits trapped in the Donghua Sword by Xie Xie Yan Huan seemed to be of little use. After all, Both Both Ruan Ci did not like to frequently cross time and space. She had crossed time and space back and forth in this core formation, and she was still a bit dizzy at this time, and currently had no interest in practicing "Yin Jun Yi Huan Dan Ge Zhu" again. If she could distinguish the cultivation level of the true spirits in the sword and release a batch of them, it would not be a bad thing.

Both Both Ruan Ci at this time had abundant divine sense power. This task of absorbing spiritual Qi and refining the Dharma body could not consume all her thoughts. As soon as this thought arose, she mobilized a trace of magic power and fed it back into the Donghua Sword, wanting to try whether her magic power at this time was enough to drive the Donghua Sword. Although it was said to be core formation and drawing the sword, according to common sense, when the core was first formed, I fear that the magic power was still insufficient, and I fear that she still had to wait for the spiritual Qi to be refined into magic power, and after having a little cultivation, she could fill the many spiritual patterns in the Donghua Sword body and stimulate it.

It was also until this time, after forming the Golden Core and breathing spiritual Qi, that she understood more why True Person Wang once said that Foundation Establishment could not be said to be truly entering the Dao. Because in Foundation Establishment, cultivators could only refine the rest of spiritual Qi, which was spiritual energy. Strictly speaking, spiritual energy and spiritual Qi were like water and blood, gas and liquid. Spiritual Qi was the essence of heaven and earth, the thing transformed by the origin of the Great Dao, contained in all things, but it could not be directly absorbed. If Both Both Ruan Ci injected spiritual energy into a mortal's meridians, the mortal's lungs might not be able to bear it and explode and die immediately, but spiritual Qi had no such thing, because mortals could not absorb it at all and could not stay. Except for the little origin spiritual Qi contained at birth, the rest of the spiritual Qi was just blowing through the body and would not have any influence.

And the so-called "loss of origin" and "deep foundation" were also some of what was said about origin spiritual Qi. Like Ruan Qian, and Ruan Rong, they were originally deep in foundation, but he was seriously injured in the earth vein, leaving only one breath of life, which was that the origin spiritual Qi had passed away. This origin loss, if he could step into the Golden Core stage, could be easily made up for. It was just that origin spiritual Qi was also the medium for cultivators to absorb spiritual energy when opening veins and establishing foundations. Origin loss, if there was no special opportunity, it was often difficult to cultivate to the Golden Core stage.

Both Both Ruan Ci had already formed the core, and whether the origin spiritual Qi was more or less was already uncheckable. At this time, in the inner landscape, the jade pool was as wide as the sea, and the vitality in the pool water was vigorous and unparalleled. The steaming spiritual mist before was completely absorbed by the pool water. This spiritual mist was actually the existence close to spiritual Qi. Because the spiritual energy in her body was pure and unparalleled, infinitely close to spiritual Qi, there was spiritual mist overflowing. At this time, all the spiritual energy in her body turned into spiritual Qi, so there was no need to lose it outside.

Now the jade pool was so wide, and the Dao Foundation in the pool also looked majestic and unparalleled. As Both Both Ruan Ci's heart moved, pavilions and towers appeared above the jade pool, and there were wild ferries and horizontal boats, which were also born at will, and one word could decide. The grass by the pool was lush, which was a vast land. Both Both Ruan Ci's heart swept over, at least the size of a county, all grass like a carpet. Her heart moved, and there were giant bamboos like forests, strange flowers like plates. All the scenery she had seen in her life could be reproduced in it, but spiritual energy did not exist, and they were all mundane plants.

At this time, if she intended, she could also take mortals and wild beasts into the inner landscape, but they were all limited to opening veins, and she did not know if the magic power was insufficient. I think after the cultivation progress in the future, there will be some differences.

Both Both Ruan Ci had just entered a major realm, and naturally everything was novel. She also explored for a long time before she distracted herself to the Donghua Sword. She could not help but frown: it was not a fresh thing that the Donghua Sword was difficult to stimulate. She had just distracted herself to inject magic power, although she was not fully focused, but she estimated that it was enough to ring the Wind and Wave Pingsheng small chime. But for the Donghua Sword, it was only less than 30% injected. According to this estimation, if she wanted to stimulate the Donghua Sword, I fear she had to prepare with full concentration for several days to succeed.

A universe-level spiritual treasure, how could it be ordinary? Golden Core first formed, and being able to draw the sword and kill in all directions was just a dream. However, whether she could draw this sword ultimately had differences. Both Both Ruan Ci was not afraid that this sword demanded great magic power, but was strange why there was a faint resistance in the runes, as if her own aura and the Donghua Sword could not merge. Only 30% was injected just now, and she felt resistance. If she wanted to inject more, I fear it would be more difficult. If this continues, whether she could successfully stimulate the Donghua Sword was two things.

"Why are you making a temper with me?"

She could not help but frown and ask, took the Donghua Sword off her hand, shook it lightly, turned it into a long sword, and her slender fingers brushed over the scabbard, stirring up a light hum. "I am dependent on you for life. If I lose you, how can I absorb spiritual Qi? Wouldn't I be suffocated to death? What a close karmic connection between you and me. You child, how can you still be distant from me?"

What Both Both Ruan Ci said was all the truth. She and the Donghua Sword were as if there was me in you and you in me. If she lost the Donghua Sword, she could not live alone, and if the Donghua Sword lost her, there would be no one to refine it. The two had been dependent on each other for hundreds of years. Both Both Ruan Ci had always respected it. This resistance force, in her view, was quite unreasonable. Both Both Ruan Ci was actually somewhat aggrieved and puzzled. If the Donghua Sword could speak, I fear Both Both Ruan Ci would really lose her temper with it.

Unexpectedly, the Donghua Sword also sent a feeling of grievance, as if Both Both Ruan Ci had made it very sad, which made Both Both Ruan Ci very confused—if it was said that it had lost the Donghua Sword's favor, it was not necessarily true. At this time, the sword body was still pouring spiritual Qi into her body, letting her repair her Dharma body. But if it still liked her, how could it not be willing to be stimulated by her?

She tried several other methods, but still to no avail. It happened that the Dharma body had been repaired, no longer as terrifying as a pink skeleton. When she looked in the mirror, she was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, a young girl with a bean-card, so she got up and left the customs, picked a Dharma robe sent by Tianlu at will, moved her momentum, called a maid to give a few instructions, and went to visit True Person Wang.

There is no Jiazi in the mountains, and the years do not know the years. Although cultivators can naturally locate time and space, Both Both Ruan Ci had been in closed-door cultivation this time, and she had traveled back and forth in time and space, so she was a bit unaware of what year it was today. After asking the maid, she knew that hundreds of years had passed. She had been in closed-door cultivation for more than two hundred years. After the Foundation Establishment nine layers were complete, she forged the last three layers of Dao Foundation, crossed the thunder tribulation that seemed to be endless, repaired the Dharma body, tried to stimulate the Donghua Sword, etc. These three things were combined, and it took about more than one hundred years from beginning to end. Now it has been four hundred and fifty years, and leaving South Zhuzhou has already been more than four hundred years.

Looking back at the past at this time, it really felt like a dream, true and false. In Both Both Ruan Ci's feeling, the memory of boarding the Heavenly Boat was still vivid. It turned out that twenty generations of mortals had passed. It was really a day in heaven and a year on earth. She only felt that since she entered the sect, the changes in the Shangqing Sect were only like four or five years of a mortal sect. For example, her second senior brother, until now, had not met, as if he was still in closed-door cultivation.

Three hundred years of closed-door cultivation, I think the cultivation of everyone in the sect had also changed. However, this was after seeing True Person Wang. Both Both Ruan Ci rode the clouds to where True Person Wang's Qi machine was, and could not help but think, "I moved the causality threads at will when I advanced, I don't know if my teacher had any feeling."

She only felt it was fun at the time, but now she was going to visit True Person Wang, but she was somewhat shy, and because her cultivation had advanced greatly, I fear True Person Wang could not sense her thoughts at will like before, which felt quite fresh and exciting. Just as she was about to speed up her escape speed, she saw a long motorcade on the horizon, flying past like ants. For a moment, she was also curious, so she flew over and asked, "What are you busy with? Where are you going?"

Inside and outside the Purple Void Heaven, who didn't know that Both Both Ruan Ci was True Person Wang's most favored little disciple? The executive hurriedly said respectfully, "Returning to Ci Miss, because the Great Master Chu of the Jinping Jade True Heaven has fallen, many dependents who originally lived in the Grotto-Heaven must move out now to avoid being annihilated with the Grotto-Heaven. But this cannot be rushed, and can only wait for the opportunity. Therefore, we have been busy with this matter in recent years."

Both Both Ruan Ci now knew its meaning. This moving out of the Grotto-Heaven was not just about people coming out, but also about weakening and cutting off causality, which was not a matter of a day or two. But although she knew the truth, she did not know that True Person Chu had fallen. Upon hearing this, her heart shook violently. She hurriedly sensed in the field of momentum, and sure enough, True Person Chu's aura was already faint, as if only between the void and the real. Not daring to delay any longer, she hurriedly raised her escape speed to the highest and flew straight to the cliff courtyard where True Person Wang was staying.
