412: The road to drug abuse officially begins
Two hours passed.
Xie Weilou refined four batches of pills, obtaining twenty-eight Celestial Appearance Pills, each with five pill patterns, making their medicinal effects extremely potent.
"The path of pill-popping officially begins!"
Xie Weilou looked at the pills before him, a wide smile on his face.
With these Celestial Appearance Pills, he felt he might be able to quickly enter the Profound Appearance Realm Late Stage, and even hoped to reach the Profound Phase Realm Peak.
As for whether it was truly feasible, he would only know after putting it into practice.
At present, he wasn't entirely confident about his breakthrough.
After all, he had just broken through, and now he was attempting another breakthrough, which was a bit too rushed.
However, his combat power had long surpassed his cultivation realm, so even continuous breakthroughs would not lead to an unstable realm. Thus, there was no need to worry too much.
Whoosh!
Xie Weilou waved his hand, and several jade talismans flew out, completely sealing the cave dwelling. He sat down cross-legged.
"Seclusion!"
Xie Weilou picked up a Celestial Appearance Pill and consumed it directly.
Boom!
The Celestial Appearance Pill's medicinal effect was terrifying. As soon as it entered his abdomen, it rapidly melted, and a powerful force instantly filled Xie Weilou's entire body, continuously tearing at his meridians and flesh.
"......"
Xie Weilou circulated the Nirvana Sutra, frantically refining this power.
Om!
The Profound Manifestation appeared. Inside the cave dwelling, the Other Shore Flowers spread across the ground, and the Profound Manifestation Human Figure and Profound Manifestation Demonic Shadow emerged.
The Profound Manifestation Human Figure, following Xie Weilou's movements, formed hand seals, continuously devouring the power of the Celestial Appearance Pill. The Demonic Shadow remained motionless but was also devouring the pill's power.
After half an incense stick's time.
The power of one Celestial Appearance Pill was completely devoured. Xie Weilou felt his strength increase slightly, but there was no sign of a breakthrough.
Normally, a single five-pattern Celestial Appearance Pill would be enough for an ordinary Profound Manifestation Realm cultivator to break through, but it didn't apply to him.
His physical body and dantian were extremely powerful, and with two Profound Manifestations currently, the power required was naturally even greater.
One Celestial Appearance Pill simply couldn't satisfy his requirements.
"One isn't enough, then continue..."
Xie Weilou grabbed five Celestial Appearance Pills at once, swallowed them whole, and once again circulated the Nirvana Sutra, frantically refining them.
He was curious whether this time he could make the Profound Manifestation Demonic Shadow condense into a true Demonic Image.
After all, at this moment, the Profound Manifestation Demonic Shadow was just a shadow, like a nascent Profound Manifestation, and not a true "Demonic Image."
ββββββ
Half a month later.
Inside the cave dwelling.
Rumble!
A roar sounded, and terrifying demonic energy permeated Xie Weilou's body.
As he expected, the Profound Manifestation Demonic Shadow had already condensed into a Demonic Image.
This Demonic Image looked exactly like him, the only difference being that this Demonic Image was filled with demonic energy and was extremely fierce.
The Demonic Image seemed to be in a three-dimensional space, still an inverted image, like a reflection, sitting inverted behind the Profound Manifestation Human Figure.
In half a month, all twenty-eight Celestial Appearance Pills were exhausted. Both the Profound Manifestation Human Figure and the Profound Manifestation Demonic Shadow had greatly enhanced.
Xie Weilou's combat power had increased significantly, but his cultivation still hadn't broken through.
"So many Celestial Appearance Pills, and it's still not enough?"
Xie Weilou frowned. He had still thought things too simply.
This time, making the Profound Manifestation Demonic Shadow transform into a Demonic Image consumed too many resources. After twenty-eight Celestial Appearance Pills, not only did he not reach the Profound Phase Realm Peak, he didn't even enter the Profound Appearance Realm Late Stage, which left him somewhat helpless.
To break through, he estimated he would need more Celestial Appearance Pills or other cultivation resources.
However, he could sense that after the Profound Manifestation Demonic Shadow condensed into a Demonic Image, this Demonic Image seemed to have reached its limit. If it were to advance further, it could only undergo Dragon Transformation.
"......"
Xie Weilou stood up, collected some items in the cave dwelling, and then walked out of the cave dwelling. Staying in seclusion all day wouldn't do; he also needed to go out and walk around.
Not long after.
Xie Weilou arrived at Chunqiu Peak.
"Greetings, Fourth Mr.!"
Xie Weilou bowed to Spring Autumn Cicada.
"Mm!"
Spring Autumn Cicada nodded gently.
Xie Weilou sat down beside him, then took out the scroll containing the Demon Refining Art and handed it to Spring Autumn Cicada: "Fourth Mr., what do you think of this cultivation technique?"
Spring Autumn Cicada took the scroll, glanced at it, and softly said: "It can be cultivated!"
"But there's no lower volume, and this demonic fiend energy..."
Xie Weilou's face showed contemplation.
Spring Autumn Cicada smiled faintly: "Your Demon Hand can devour demonic fiend energy!"
Xie Weilou saw that Spring Autumn Cicada knew about the existence of the Demon Hand, and he wasn't too surprised. After all, the person before him was an unfathomably powerful figure; it was normal for him to know anything.
The only exception should be the Heavenly Book. Even the Fourth Mr. hadn't detected the Heavenly Book's existence.
Even under the Heavenly Book's concealment, the Fourth Mr. couldn't see through his true realm. The Heavenly Book remained mysterious.
He clasped his fists and said: "Thank you for the Fourth Mr.'s reminder!"
He knew the Demon Hand could devour evil fiend energy and demonic energy, but he didn't know it could even devour demonic fiend energy.
With Spring Autumn Cicada's guidance, he could indeed go and cultivate this Demon Refining Art.
Celestial Appearance Pills aren't enough; perhaps I can supplement them with demon cores...
Spring Autumn Cicada tugged at his fishing rod: "The Northern Demon Race and Demonic Race are currently invading Northern Border City. Some disciples of the Saint Institute have already gone to resist the Demon Race and Demonic Race, but the situation is not optimistic. The Saint Institute has also sent Elder Si Tu to lead a group of disciples to the Northern Border..."
"The Xia Emperor has ordered you to go to the Northern Border. You can take this opportunity to prepare some demon cores. There's no need to worry about the demonic fiend energy. Even if your Demon Hand cannot devour it, I have a way for you to refine it!"
Xie Weilou clasped his fists and said: "Understood! I'll go to the Northern Border now."
With the Demon Race and Demonic Race invading, he could indeed go and continue to wield his blade in slaughter, further comprehending All Living Beings as One Blade.
"Go!"
Spring Autumn Cicada gently waved his hand.
Xie Weilou turned and left.
ββββββ
Saint Institute.
Above the plaza.
An ancient warship was suspended, carrying over a hundred young disciples of the Saint Institute. Leading them was a middle-aged beautiful woman in the Dragon Transformation Realm Early Stage.
Su Muxue and Xiao Ce were among them. Both of their cultivations had now entered the Dao Repository Realm.
Su Muxue seemed to have joined Shuiyue Peak, while Xiao Ce had joined Purple Gold Peak. Both had Dragon Transformation Realm masters teaching them, so their cultivation speed was naturally not slow.
Xie Weilou walked towards the ancient warship, and everyone's gaze instantly turned to him.
"Xie Weilou!"
When Su Muxue saw Xie Weilou, she paused for a second, her expression somewhat complex, feeling like an ant looking up at a giant dragon.
"......"
Xiao Ce stared at Xie Weilou, a solemn look in his eyes.
The current Xie Weilou was no longer the profligate young master of the past. He was Marquis Zhenxi, and a ruthless individual capable of slaughtering those in the Dragon Transformation Realm.
Xie Weilou clasped his fists towards the middle-aged beautiful woman and said: "May I ask if you are Elder Si Tu?"
The middle-aged beautiful woman smiled lightly: "I am Elder Si Tu Jin of Shuiyue Peak!"
Xie Weilou said: "The Emperor has ordered me to go to the Northern Border. I would like to go with you all, if it's convenient?"
Situ Jin smiled and said: "Come aboard!"
This Xie Weilou, he was a ruthless person who could even slaughter those in the Dragon Transformation Realm; he certainly shouldn't be underestimated. This trip to the Northern Border would surely be of great help.
"......"
Xie Weilou smiled faintly, leaped, and stepped onto the ancient warship.
"Depart!"
Situ Jin waved her hand, and the ancient warship soared into the sky, turning into an afterimage and flying towards the distance...
