Chapter 238 The Theory of True Core
The successful refinement of the Wooden Emperor Nail made Qin Ming feel a weight lift from his heart.
It meant that in the near future, he would be able to gain a powerful trump card.
If he encountered a bizarre Demon Fiend like the one on Lin Zixiao again, he would definitely be able to kill it.
Next, Moon Gazing Island returned to tranquility.
After several days of adjustment, Qin Ming recovered his depleted Origin Qi.
During this time, Qin Ming also had Wu Jiang inquire about news everywhere.
He learned that the Beast Tide outside had subsided quite a bit, but he learned from the Devouring Heaven Rat that this situation should be because the Demonic Beasts in the Beast Cry Mountain Range were secretly accumulating strength, preparing to launch an even larger scale attack on Human Clan territory again.
After all, having tasted the nourishing sweetness brought by devouring Human Clan flesh, it was difficult to stop once addicted.
The Spirit Peach Flowers outside the Cave Residence bloomed again, the pink Peach Blossoms lush and verdant, Spirit Qi fragrant.
Qin Ming used several Time-Space Leaf entries to Ripening several Five Elements Primordial Spirit Peach Trees again, planting them separately On the island.
This added a beautiful scenic line to the scenery on the Main Peak.
In the Beehive, the Spirit Bee Swarm buzzed and flew about, working hard, Pollination and collecting honey among the Peach Blossoms.
Qin Ming sat Under the Peach Blossom Tree, leisurely enjoying the Jade Unicorn Wine, holding the Rank 3 Spirit Plant Inheritance Jade Message Slip in his hands, studying it.
On the Stone Table beside him, there was a Jade Box, inside which was a black date-shaped Fruit Pit.
It was the Spirit Seed of the 'Abundant Gloom Ghost Date'.
"Mysterious Fiend Spirit Liquid... capable of growing Spirit Plants that produce Core Forming Spiritual Objects."
"However, Ghostly Creatures or Spirit Body Remains are needed to cast the Planting Evil Incantation on this basis."
"These Ghostly Creatures Remains are not easy to obtain. To grow enough Quantity to condense Mysterious Fiend Spirit Liquid, generally only Yin Fiend Places or Demonic Path Sects have them."
"Where am I going to get so many Ghostly Creatures Remains?"
Qin Ming said to himself, pondering hard, tapping his fingers on the Stone Table.
At this moment.
The Devouring Heaven Rat heard Qin Ming's words, carrying Shennong's Hoe and running over, saying, "Hehe! Master, I know where to get Ghostly Creatures and Spirit Body Remains."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
"If it's true, there will be a great reward."
Qin Ming said with interest upon hearing this.
When the Devouring Heaven Rat heard 'great reward', its Expression immediately became excited, grinning and saying, "That is the original Thousand Leaf Spirit Island."
"Originally, there was a Demon Cave Ruins under that Island, and Spirit Island has undergone several major changes, and whether it was Demonic Beasts or Cultivators, there were countless casualties, and it was also the Base of the old Demon Vine, there must be many Ghostly Creatures Spirit Bodies formed beneath it."
Hearing this, Qin Ming asked doubtfully:
"Wasn't Thousand Leaf Island destroyed by the Core Formation Grandmaster Spell in the last Demon Subjugation Battle of the Three Great Powers?"
"How can there still be Ghostly Creatures?"
The Devouring Heaven Rat said mysteriously, "That's just on the surface. When I was seriously injured and fled to the SpiritHaven Archipelago, I also passed by Thousand Leaf Island."
"But I can sense with my Bloodline Divine Ability that there is still a strong Fiend Qi in a certain deep underground location there, but it is hidden very well."
"According to my judgment, the Demon Cave should have absorbed the Fiend Qi of many dead living beings On the island, and has not completely dissipated."
Qin Ming's face lit up when he heard what the Devouring Heaven Rat said.
Based on its skill in digging holes and sensing Qi, it should be very likely true.
"Although the Demonic Plant On the island has been eliminated by the Core Formation Grandmaster, I wonder if there will still be danger inside?"
"See if this is that kind of Aura."
After Qin Ming finished speaking, he took out the black iron piece that had fallen from the Blood Curse Demonic Vine from the Storage Bag and handed it to the Devouring Heaven Rat.
"This! This! This!"
"Such a powerful Fiend Qi, and it seems to be stained with Demon Blood..."
The Devouring Heaven Rat took the black iron piece, also shocked to the point of being almost speechless.
To be honest, it was increasingly unable to see through its Master. How could such heaven-defying things be in his hands? "Yes, yes, yes!"
"It's very close to the Aura on the iron piece."
"However... since the Demonic Plant has been removed, and the key Demonic Transformation item is also in your hands, Master, there should only be some Low Rank Ghostly Creatures left in that Demon Cave."
"It shouldn't pose too much of a threat to Master."
The Devouring Heaven Rat's thoughts were clear, and it quickly stated its own thoughts.
Qin Ming was relieved to hear this, but with his cautious style, he still did not intend to take risks directly.
After all, that place was once where a Tier 3 Demon Plant was nurtured.
He planned to improve his Strength again before going to explore it.
Qin Ming dismissed the Devouring Heaven Rat and returned to the Cave Residence.
Afterwards, he took out two Jade Bottles, which contained Second Order Perfection Demon Beast Essence Blood that he had purchased before.
One of the bottles was the Stone Ape Great Demon Essence Blood obtained in Trade from Old Monster Jin Rong, and the other bottle was the Giant Mi Cang Ape Great Demon Essence Blood exchanged from the Pale-Faced Middle-Aged Man disguised as Lin Zixiao.
These two types of ape Demonic Beasts are also Outstanding Persons among the Demon Race, only slightly weaker than the Double Pupil Demon Ape.
Moreover, ape Demonic Beasts are mostly of extremely high Spirit Intelligence, not easy to hunt, and extremely powerful, fast and flexible, and can also use weapons like the Human Clan, making their Battle prowess fierce.
Hunting them is quite difficult.
Even Old Monster Jin Rong lost several Fellow Daoists before he managed to get such a bottle of Stone Ape Great Demon Essence Blood.
Qin Ming immediately pried open the bottle cap and swallowed this bottle of Second Order Perfection Stone Ape Great Demon Essence Blood in one gulp.
Boom! Scorching and violent Vital Energy and Blood Energy exploded in his body.
However, Qin Ming had previously refined the Double-Pupil Demon Ape's Essence Blood, and coupled with reaching the Condition required for the Third Transformation of True Qi, his Physical Body had already undergone earth-shattering changes.
Now swallowing the Stone Ape's Essence Blood again, it was not as painful as before, only feeling a surge of Energy scurrying around in his body, and vaguely hearing the Essence Soul of a Stone Ape struggling and roaring in unwillingness.
Qin Ming operated the Myriad Treasures Glass Scripture... no, according to the Devouring Heaven Rat, it should now be called the Heavenly Demon Body Refinement Art.
Suddenly!
When he refined the first strand of Stone Ape Great Demon Essence Blood, the Qi and Blood True Qi around Qin Ming's body rose again.
At the same time.
The Beast Hide in Qin Ming's arms automatically flew out, and a white light suddenly lit up at a certain Position on the map, sinking into Qin Ming's brow.
The Hundred Beasts Visualization Chart seemed to materialize in his Sea of Consciousness.
After entering the Cultivation of the Third Transformation of True Qi, the Hundred Beasts Visualization Chart also seemed to have undergone some changes.
The images Qin Ming could visualize were more persistent, no longer lasting just one or two breaths.
In the darkness, a scene unfolded strangely in Qin Ming's vision.
The first scene was on a vast and desolate land, with war raging, countless Cultivators and Demon Race Fallen, Fresh Blood watering the earth red.
Human Clan Cultivators joined forces and finally cleansed and slaughtered a certain ape Demon Race branch, not even letting go of the smallest young Demons.
The scene changed.
It came before a magnificent Human Clan Immortal City occupying an area of hundreds of thousands of acres, its scale even more than ten times that of Azure Sea Immortal City.
Suddenly, the earth trembled! A figure of a thousand-zhang Mountainous Giant Ape that reached the Sky appeared, with silver-white fur all over its body, and explosive muscles exposed.
Along with the thousand-zhang Mountainous Giant Ape's astonishing momentum, was the anger that touched its reverse scale! "Tiny Human Clan! How dare you destroy my Offspring!"
A roar of rage startled the Cultivators to flee in panic. The thousand-zhang Mountainous Giant Ape strode majestically between the mountains.
With each step.
The power and killing intent on its body became more and more terrifying.
Until several black Lightning bolts exploded around it!
The thousand-zhang Mountainous Giant Ape bent its knees and leaped, its figure rushing towards the Sky.
Its right hand closed its five fingers and turned into a fist, emitting a dead star-like dazzling light.
This fist was too dazzling.
The entire grand Human Clan Immortal City was shrouded in red light.
When the killing intent to destroy everything spread out.
Heaven and Earth paled at this moment!
The thousand-zhang Mountainous Giant Ape held the great sun in its hand and questioned in a voice that shook the universe: Under the wilderness, all are my Offspring, how dare you? In short, there was no more nonsense.
The "Silent Extinction Fist" descended with a bang! One punch blasted out, as if the universe's prehistoric era was constantly being born and dying before one's eyes.
Crossing the distance from the Sky to the ground, this was a heaven-falling strike from the galaxy.
Looking from afar.
The thousand-zhang Mountainous Giant Ape seemed to have merged into that ball of fire.
The scorching meteor streaked across the Horizon.
A terrifying Aura was released with a bang!
Boom! In an instant, nothing that happened in the Immortal City could be seen clearly anymore.
Only white light swallowed everything! The Plaza was shrouded in light, and countless tall buildings turned into powder.
More and more Pavilions were shattered by the aftershocks.
The exaggerated Shock Wave blew away tens of thousands of Cultivators.
After the explosion in the center of the Immortal City, a pillar of fire that shot into the Sky was left, igniting billowing smoke that spread across half of the city.
Black light and Lightning swept across everything, and countless Human Clan Cultivators instantly collapsed and turned into countless fragments wherever they passed.
With just one punch.
The white thousand-zhang Mountainous Giant Ape leveled the entire huge Immortal City to the ground. Immediately afterwards, Qin Ming's mind was suddenly struck by a violent dizziness, his vision gradually blurred, and he withdrew from the Hundred Beasts Visualization.
His whole person was immersed in deep shock.
"What kind of Physical Body Strength is this?"
"It's simply throwing a nuclear bomb on the ground!"
"This level of Strength, I'm afraid it far surpasses the Golden Core Realm..."
"But what does this mean?"
"Why would it make me see this terrifying scene."
"Can the Heavenly Demon Body Refinement Art really reach this level?"
Qin Ming fell into deep thought. Obviously, he could not master such Strength.
But then, a sense of Enlightenment in the darkness poured into his mind.
It was a wisp of fist intent from that heaven-destroying, earth-extinguishing punch just now! At the same time, as he withdrew from the Hundred Beasts Visualization state, Qin Ming also completely refined the Second Order Perfection Stone Ape Great Demon Essence Blood, turning it into a part of his Strength.
While the iron was hot, Qin Ming devoured the other Second Order Perfection Giant Mi Cang Ape Essence Blood and began Cultivation again.
Devouring and refining the second Essence Blood was smoother than before.
As Cultivation progressed, the Hundred Beasts Visualization Chart opened again, and the shocking scene from before reappeared before Qin Ming's eyes.
His Enlightenment of the fist intent deepened again.
And it allowed him to Acceleration refine the second Demon Beast Essence Blood, bringing his Physical Body Strength to an unprecedented height.
"Only the last Demon Beast Essence Blood is needed, and I can refine the Third Transformation of True Qi to Perfection, reaching the legendary True Zenith Body."
"Not only that, but after the Third Transformation is completed, I will also awaken a Physical Body Mystical Power like a Demon Beast." Qin Ming bent his fingers and clenched his fist, anticipation revealed in his eyes.
Ever since he had observed the majestic figure of the Mountainous Giant Ape in the Hundred Beasts Visualization Chart, it would be a lie to say he wasn't envious of such Mystical Power.
Of course, the power was definitely not as strong as that displayed by the Mountainous Giant Ape. Qin Ming would be very satisfied if it could reach one ten-millionth of its power.
And next, once Qin Ming completely completes the Third Transformation of the Foundation Establishment chapter in the Heavenly Demon Body Refinement Art and achieves the True Zenith Body, he will be able to withstand Magic Treasures head-on.
In addition to this, he also had to consider how to obtain Subsequent Cultivation Method, which should involve Body Refinement Technique of the Golden Core Realm.
In the Cave Residence.
Qin Ming opened his eyes, which were as dark as ink, and let out a long breath.
"Only the last Essence Blood is left!"
At this moment, the momentum he exuded alone made the Devouring Heaven Rat outside feel frightened.
"Amazing, amazing."
"Master has completely refined the Demon Race's holy scripture Heavenly Demon Body Refinement Art to the Third Transformation, and is only a thread away from Perfection!"
"If this goes on, Master might really reach the legendary 'Qi and Blood Embracing Core' Realm."
"How many Demon Race Heaven's Chosen have failed to Cultivation this holy scripture, never would have thought that it would be Cultivation by a Human Clan Cultivator."
"Wouldn't that be the biggest joke in the world..."
The Devouring Heaven Rat forgot to work, propping up Shennong's Hoe, staring blankly at the direction of Qin Ming's Cave Residence, muttering to himself.
Qin Ming's Divine Sense moved, naturally hearing everything the Devouring Heaven Rat said, so he summoned it in, and then asked:
"What do you mean by Qi and Blood Embracing Core that you just said?"
The Devouring Heaven Rat sensed the terrifying Aura of a prehistoric beast on Qin Ming's body, and immediately shuddered, then replied with a grin, "Hey hey! Reporting to the respected Master, Qi and Blood Embracing Core is the Realm after completing the Third Transformation of the Heavenly Demon Body Refinement Art."
"It's similar to what you Human Clan Cultivators call Body Core Formation."
"However, it is even stronger than Body Core Formation."
"Qi and Blood Embracing Core will condense a Qi and Blood True Core on the basis of the True Extreme Body, equivalent to the Core Formation Stage of the Human Race, but in recent hundreds of years, even among the several Demon Beast Royal Clans, Great Demons who can condense Qi and Blood True Core have never been born."
"Once the True Core comes out, it is invincible even among Demon Race of the same Realm."
Qin Ming frowned upon hearing this, unexpectedly this gray-haired rat actually had some knowledge in its belly, letting him understand very crucial information for him.
Then he asked doubtfully, "How do you know that the Heavenly Demon Body Refinement Art can be Cultivation to this Realm? And even know about the Qi and Blood True Core so clearly?"
"Didn't you say you didn't know the whereabouts of the Subsequent Cultivation Method of this Cultivation Method?"
"Could it be that you are hiding something?"
As Qin Ming said this, the atmosphere in the air began to solidify.
"Hey, how dare I hide anything!"
"As for the Heavenly Demon Body Refinement Art, it was also passed down from generation to generation by the older generation in the clan, so I also know a thing or two."
"The Demon Scripture is of great importance, I really don't know its whereabouts."
"However, the Blue-Faced Poisonous Jiao is very likely to have a copy."
At the end, the Devouring Heaven Rat did not forget to bring up the Blue-Faced Poisonous Jiao, after all, it was because of it that it had been reduced to this state.
'With Master's Luck like a Child of the Plane, maybe he can really avenge himself and vent his anger!'
The Devouring Heaven Rat's thoughts flew to the Horizon, secretly fantasizing.
