521: Demonic form gives birth to god, middle stage of dragon transformation

Seven days later.

Inside the cave abode.

Xie Weilou opened his eyes. In seven days, he had already mastered the Town Artifact Technique. This secret art indeed still had immense room for growth, and he could continue to deduce and refine it later.

The Town Artifact Technique was extraordinary, capable of suppressing and controlling many supreme treasures in the world.

However, after repeated attempts, Xie Weilou found that the Town Artifact Technique was still unable to control the heaven suppressing stele, nor could it truly allow him to mobilize the power of the heaven suppressing stele.

Perhaps the heaven suppressing stele's grade was too high, and the Town Artifact Technique had not yet reached the level to control it, which further indicated the heaven suppressing stele's extraordinariness.

"Next, I can refine some pills."

Xie Weilou got up.

During this period, he had learned many other skills, but his cultivation was still in the Dragon Transformation Realm (Early-stage). This wouldn't do; he still needed to continue improving.

Compared to other aspects, cultivation was the most important thing.

He needed to refine a batch of Rising Dragon Pills. Then, combined with the demon cores he had obtained, refining both simultaneously should allow him to advance further.

......

Xie Weilou opened his storage ring.

After a careful inventory, he gathered five sets of materials for the Rising Dragon Pill. He summoned the Taixu Spirit Fire and the alchemy furnace and immediately began refining.

Buzz!

Flames enveloped the alchemy furnace, and within the cave abode, powerful energy fluctuations permeated the air...

Two hours later.

Xie Weilou refined five furnaces of Rising Dragon Pills, obtaining a total of thirty-five pills. All were of excellent quality, starting with five pill patterns.

He put the pills into a medicine bottle and pondered, "My alchemy is stuck at the sixth-grade; I'll have to consider improving it further later."

However, the most urgent task was still to improve his cultivation, as cultivation was the most crucial.

After putting away the alchemy furnace.

Xie Weilou sat down cross-legged again. He circulated the Nirvana Sutra, and the Six Profound Aspects appeared simultaneously.

The Dragon Transformation Realm involved the Xuan Manifestation transforming into a dragon, and his situation was different from that of other cultivators.

Currently, his Human Manifestation had already given birth to a Divine Soul. Should he now let the other manifestations give birth to Divine Souls?

"Let's try the Demon Manifestation first!"

Xie Weilou's face showed contemplation. His current situation was too unique, and he could only feel his way forward.

He took out several Dragon Transformation Realm demon cores, swallowed them directly, then activated the Demon Refining Art, frantically refining the power of the demon cores.

Then he took out the Rising Dragon Pills and directly took five of them.

Boom!

Two violent forces immediately erupted within his body, frantically flowing through his meridians, threatening to tear his body apart.

Golden light flickered on his body, and his vital energy surged, causing the cave abode to continuously tremble.

......

Xie Weilou closed his eyes, circulating the Nirvana Sutra to its extreme, frantically devouring these two forces.

Buzz!

At the same time, the Demon Manifestation opened its eyes, and its demonic energy completely erupted, instantly enveloping his Dantian.

The Yin-Yang and Five Elements power of heaven and earth appeared, and the Five Divine Powers gathered above the Demon Manifestation's head, constantly deducing, seeking to advance further.

This process was similar to the situation when the Human Manifestation gave birth to Divine Soul power.

"The situation is similar, so it seems I really need to let the remaining Profound Manifestations give birth to Divine Souls. This gives me experience..."

Seeing this, Xie Weilou felt confident.

He took out another Divine Court demon core and swallowed it whole.

Boom!

The power of the demon core entered his body, transforming into pure spiritual energy, which then flowed through Xie Weilou's body, continuously surging towards the Demon Manifestation.

The Demon Manifestation frantically devoured this power, and the Yin-Yang and Five Elements power above its head constantly deduced.

The Five Divine Powers rapidly strengthened. It only needed to take one more step to evolve from Five Divine Powers into Divine Soul power.

— — — — — —

Cultivation knows no time; a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the cave abode.

Xie Weilou's Six Profound Aspects stood erect. The Demon Manifestation, like the Human Manifestation, had already evolved its Five Divine Powers into Divine Soul power.

A divine charm appeared, making the Demon Manifestation even more agile, like an ancient divine demon, its aura even more terrifying.

It seemed to be Xie Weilou's demonic dharma body; once it emerged, it would surely possess peerless demonic might.

"Huā Lóng Realm (Mid-stage). This time, it was very smooth."

Xie Weilou clenched his fists, sensing the power within him.

After the Demon Manifestation gave birth to a Divine Soul, his cultivation advanced further, successfully entering the Huā Lóng Realm (Mid-stage).

This time, no special circumstances occurred, saving him from a heavenly tribulation, and the process was incredibly smooth.

All thirty-five Rising Dragon Pills, the Dragon Transformation demon cores, and the Divine Court demon cores he had, were all consumed, an astonishing consumption.

Although the consumption was great, his combat power also surged after his cultivation improved.

After the Demon Manifestation gave birth to a Divine Soul this time, Xie Weilou felt a greater affinity with the Demon Hand.

Previously, when using the Demon Hand, his physical body and soul would be affected to some extent.

But now, using the Demon Hand would certainly have no effect, allowing for perfect integration.

After giving birth to the Demon Manifestation, this meant that he could become a true old demon.

He could control the four powers of Human, Demon, Monster, and Ghost, and even transform into the four races, making it difficult for outsiders to distinguish him.

Xie Weilou flicked his sleeve, and the Six Profound Aspects returned to his Dantian. He stood up and left the cave abode.

Outside the cave, a waterfall cascaded down, plunging into the deep pool, emitting roars.

"How many times can a cultivator enter seclusion in this life?"

Xie Weilou flew to the peak of the mountain, looking at the distant scenery, a hint of emotion in his eyes.

Every time a cultivator enters seclusion, it often lasts for a month or three months, and in the blink of an eye, several years have passed.

And this is just for minor seclusion. If it's a major seclusion, it's estimated to start from several years, a decade, or even decades, which is even more despairing.

A cultivator's lifespan is certainly longer than that of ordinary people, but with such high-frequency seclusion, how many times can one enter seclusion?

Unless every time one enters seclusion, one can break through their cultivation and gain a longer lifespan.

Unfortunately, not every cultivator can break through every time they enter seclusion. Many might enter seclusion until death, unable to take even half a step forward.

"The Dragon Transformation Realm is still not enough."

Xie Weilou sighed in his heart.

The life of a mortal is just over a hundred years. The life of a cultivator is a bit longer, but the end is still a dead end. Only by continuously improving and becoming stronger can one resolve the lifespan crisis.

"Forget it! I'm still young, why think about things so far away?"

Xie Weilou shook his head, suppressing the thoughts in his heart.

The path of cultivation should be one of unwavering forward progress. Naturally, one cannot be timid or look back.

Since he has embarked on this path, he must continue to walk it. He should ignore everything else and just charge forward.

Great Xia is just a novice village!

He still needs to keep pushing forward.

"After all matters are resolved, I can consider going north."

Xie Weilou gazed north.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Before that, he still needed to accumulate more.

He still hadn't visited the Three Sages among the Seven Gentlemen of the Saint Academy, so he could go there then.

As for the Grandmaster, he had already learned the Haoran Sword Qi, so there was no need to seek him out, and Meng Xiuyuan had said that he had no affinity with the Confucian path!

"Never mind, no time like the present. I'll go find the Three Sages now."

Xie Weilou didn't hesitate and flew away directly.

He had to seize the time and quickly master various methods...
