155: The Fifth Level of the Soul Guiding Sutra

No wonder there were so many Later Heaven Transformation Realm scorpions.

No wonder he couldn't kill them all.

No wonder no matter which direction he walked, he would be surrounded by these scorpions.

The reason for everything was that he had fallen into an illusion Formation.

Realizing the crux of the problem, Shen Xi thought of a solution.

He approached the Formation Flag closest to him.

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

The number of earthen-yellow scorpions rapidly increased, trying to prevent Shen Xi from getting closer.

However, Shen Xi, relying on One Sword Sweeps the Nine Provinces and the Eternal Undying Body, forcefully endured it.

Of course, he also paid the price of his poisoning deepening.

Finally, Shen Xi arrived in front of the Formation Flag.

He gripped the Qingying Sword tightly, raising his state to its Peak.

With a swing of his sword, the Qingying Sword, with an unstoppable momentum, landed on the Formation Flag.

Instantly, the sky and earth crumbled.

A sound like an supreme deity forging iron echoed between heaven and earth.

The Formation Flag broke, and more than half of the surrounding earthen-yellow scorpions instantly disappeared.

"Sure enough, as long as the Formation Flag is destroyed, the current predicament can be resolved."

Shen Xi's eyes lit up, and he immediately headed towards the next Formation Flag.

With the same operation, the Formation Flag broke again, and the pressure of the encirclement Shen Xi was enduring was significantly relieved once more.

Just like that, one Formation Flag after another shattered, and the earthen-yellow scorpions also disappeared in large numbers.

When only five Formation Flags remained, Shen Xi stopped.

The number of earthen-yellow scorpions had now decreased to a range he could easily handle.

As for the poison problem, Shen Xi also had a general idea in his mind.

Because he had a clear understanding, he knew his limit of endurance, and when his life would be in danger, he was even more clear about it.

Since he confirmed that his life was not in danger, other thoughts emerged in Shen Xi's mind.

This place was an excellent spot for farming Yao Beast lifespan.

The illusion Formation could continuously generate earthen-yellow scorpions, and these scorpions could provide a large amount of Yao Beast lifespan.

Outside, where could Shen Xi find so many Yao Beasts, especially those in the Houtian Huajin Realm?

But here, Shen Xi could easily find them.

Wouldn't it be a disservice to his adventurous attempt not to seize this opportunity to heavily exploit it?

Because of this, Shen Xi did not intend to completely destroy the illusion Formation; instead, he used this opportunity to kill Yao Beasts and obtain Yao Beast lifespan.

The System couldn't help but complain.

It had naturally discovered the existence of the illusion Formation long ago.

However, due to certain reasons, it couldn't directly say it and could only let Shen Xi discover it himself.

Now, it never expected that after Shen Xi discovered it, he would choose to farm Yao Beast lifespan in this manner, forging a Dao that even the System hadn't thought of.

"Less nonsense, just tally the amount of Yao Beast lifespan for me. If there's one day less... there's nothing I can do to you either."

With no life-threatening danger, Shen Xi chatted and laughed with the System.

Unconsciously, two hours had passed.

And Shen Xi had also accumulated an astonishing three hundred thousand Yao Beast lifespan.

Even Shen Xi couldn't help but secretly click his tongue when he saw this number.

This was three hundred thousand!

Before, he wouldn't even dare to imagine it.

"However, it's time to end!"

Shen Xi sighed helplessly.

His body had reached its limit of endurance.

Even with the Eternal Undying Body, so much accumulated poison in his body was already putting his life in danger.

Although Yao Beast lifespan was good, his life was the most important thing.

Shen Xi had no choice but to cut down the last five Formation Flags, completely destroying the illusion Formation.

"Start Martial Arts Cultivation Technique practice, practice the Spirit Guiding Scripture."

Shen Xi immediately began his Martial Arts Cultivation Technique practice.

These three hundred thousand Yao Beast lifespan were dead if kept in hand; only by improving his combat power would they become alive.

"Practice begins!"

"Due to the Spirit Guiding Scripture reaching the Fourth Stage, each year of practice consumes one thousand years of Yao Beast lifespan."

"First year, you are steadily absorbing the spiritual Qi between heaven and earth!"

"Fifth year, you once again condense a drop of spiritual liquid."

"Eighth year, you condense a drop of spiritual liquid!"

"Ninetieth year, the amount of spiritual liquid in your body has reached one hundred ninety-nine drops."

"You are only one last drop away from Breakthrough to the Fifth Stage Realm of the Spirit Guiding Scripture."

"One hundredth year, you finally condensed the two hundredth drop of spiritual liquid, and the Spirit Guiding Scripture entered the Fifth Stage!"

"Your Aptitude has improved, changing from one in a hundred to one in ten thousand!"

"Ding! Since the Spirit Guiding Scripture has broken through to the Fifth Stage, each subsequent year will consume ten thousand years of Yao Beast lifespan. Do you wish to continue?"

Shen Xi immediately chose to end.

Just to raise the Spirit Guiding Scripture from the Fourth Stage to the Fifth Stage, he had spent one hundred thousand years of Yao Beast lifespan; to improve it further, the Yao Beast lifespan he currently had would simply not be enough.

And as the practice ended, a feeling of Aptitude improvement, subtle yet profound, welled up in Shen Xi's heart.

Everything around him had become completely different.

If, for Shen Xi before, flowers were flowers and grass was grass, everything had a fixed appearance.

But now, he felt that flowers were not flowers, and grass was not grass.

These things were all emitting a sense of closeness towards him.

"So this is what it feels like to have high Aptitude? The perception of the entire world becomes completely different."

"Subtly, you become a darling of heaven and earth; any creature, everything, will show you goodwill."

"Even when Cultivating Martial Arts Cultivation Techniques, those Cultivation Techniques also express goodwill, making them easier for you to understand."

Shen Xi said with a sense of emotion.

This feeling was not obvious when his Aptitude was only one in a hundred.

But when it reached one in ten thousand, it became clear as day.

After all, an Aptitude of one in ten thousand was a rare existence even in a city.

Chen Fang, Chu He, and Wu Su's Aptitude were basically all at this level.

Simply put.

Because of the Spirit Guiding Scripture, Shen Xi's Aptitude had finally reached parity with these people.

And if it weren't for the System, his combat power would simply not be able to catch up to these people.

"After Aptitude improves, Realm Cultivation should also become much simpler."

Shen Xi had a faint expectation in his heart.

With his current Aptitude, combined with the System's Martial Arts Cultivation Technique practice, his Realm would definitely experience an explosive surge.

How high of a Realm could so much Yao Beast lifespan push him to?

Shen Xi was somewhat impatient to start trying.

"Start Martial Arts Cultivation Technique practice, Realm improvement!"

Shen Xi suppressed the excitement in his heart, but his voice still trembled slightly, somewhat uncontrollably.

This would be a huge improvement!
