"I don't have any news, but I wonder if you have any high-level skills for sale?"
After hearing Wang Cheng's words, the other party unexpectedly said: "A complete set of skills in the Body Tempering Realm costs 100 spirit jades, a complete set of skills in the Qi Gathering Realm costs 1,000 spirit jades, a complete set of skills in the Mind Concentrating Realm costs 10,000 spirit jades, and a complete set of skills in the Out-of-Body Realm costs 1 million spirit jades."
Wang Cheng was surprised to hear that the other party did not continue the introduction:
"What about the skills of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm or the Manifestation of Saint Realm?"
"You are joking, sir. Whether it is the Celestial Realm or the Manifestation Realm, the skills are enough to open up a large sect. How could such skills be leaked? Not to mention our Shadow Hidden Pavilion, even other places would not be able to sell it. Moreover, even if it is sold, its value would probably be extremely shocking."
Wang Cheng nodded slightly when he heard this, and then said:
"In that case, then give me a technique for reaching the Out-of-Body Realm."
However, this time Wang Cheng did not use top-grade spiritual jade, but directly took out millions of low-grade spiritual jade.
I saw countless spiritual jades appearing in the room, almost filling up the entire room.
At this time, the other party waved his hand, and the spiritual jade in the room disappeared instantly.
Wang Cheng couldn't help but smile when he saw this: It seems that the other party also has storage or cave-like treasures here.
Soon a jade slip was taken out by the other party and then delivered to Wang Cheng:
"Sir, this is your technique. It is complete, but we don't know if there are any mistakes or omissions in it. However, someone in our Hidden Shadow Pavilion has practiced it before, but it is too slow to practice, so the person who chose to practice it eventually gave up on it."
Wang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile:
"There is such a technique? Let me see it. It's not uncommon to encounter such a slow-cultivation technique."
You must know that the demons are rampant in the Hunyuan Demon Realm, so practice requires more courage and diligence.
Therefore, that kind of moderate and flat martial arts has no market at all in the Hunyuan Demon Realm. Wang Cheng would be a little curious when he occasionally encountered this kind of martial arts that required slow practice.
Moreover, for Wang Cheng, the greater significance of these skills is for reference. Although his own out-of-body skills are already perfect, Wang Cheng wants to see if he can make another breakthrough.
After getting what he wanted, Wang Cheng didn't continue chatting. Finally, he turned around and walked out of the room. Then the scene in front of him changed, and he had arrived in the outside world.
After taking a look at the Hidden Shadow Pavilion behind him, Wang Cheng couldn't help but shook his head:
"I didn't expect that the Shadow Hidden Pavilion was so cautious. Even when conducting intelligence transactions, they sent out puppets."
Then Wang Cheng thought about purchasing the places mentioned in the intelligence.
"Black Evil Valley, Blood Slaughter Temple, Nine Absolute Mountains?"
There are often raging black evil winds in the Black Evil Valley, which can annihilate all kinds of energy and are quite destructive to formations.
So even though there is at least a medium-level spiritual vein in the Black Evil Valley, no one has gone there to establish a sect first.
Instead, it allows some independent practitioners and some practitioners who have offended their enemies to practice and hide there.
Xuetu Temple is a powerful sect that is no less powerful than Xuefeng Temple, and may even be more powerful. However, it was heard that something went wrong with the cultivation method, and the entire Xuetu Temple turned into a Jedi overnight.
There is also a medium-level spiritual vein there, but no one who has entered has ever come out, so it is also equivalent to being abandoned.
Jiujue Mountain is not as dangerous or desolate as the previous two. Instead, there is a sect’s power there.
It's just that these sects have united to form the Jiu Jue Alliance, and the combined strength of the nine sects is no weaker than that of a medium-sized force like the Xuefeng Temple.
Chapter 639 Opening up a cave
Wang Cheng thought about it and didn’t know the details of the Xuetu Temple, so he gave up going there.
"Let's go to the Black Evil Valley first and see if your rune attainments can make use of the Black Evil Wind there. At the very least, we have to block it. That way, we will have a chance to break through there."
As for Jiujue Mountain, it is the second choice, while Xuetu Temple is only the last destination.
"In that case, let's go to the Black Evil Valley first. As for the Blood Slaughter Temple, it won't be too late to go there after I'm promoted to the Celestial Realm. It's a good opportunity to see what secrets there are. It seems that they also have Celestial Realm skills there."
Black Evil Valley is a famous dangerous place and a desperate place in Luzhou. Most people who come here are here to avoid disaster.
The main force is the independent practitioners or the practitioners who have offended their enemies and are staying outside.
Although the Black Evil Valley is dangerous and it is impossible to establish a sect there, it is a natural harbor for these people because of the existence of the Black Evil Feng.
Of course, those who can stay in the Black Evil Valley must at least reach the state of concentration.
If one has reached the Juqi realm, even the evil spirit in the Black Evil Valley can confuse their minds and cause them to go astray.
Although the Black Evil Valley is called a valley, it is located between mountain peaks. The endless Black Evil Mountains, coupled with the huge cracks that seem to have been formed by a split, create the environment of the Black Evil Valley.
The distance between the market town and the Black Evil Valley is not close. After Wang Cheng left the market town, it took him more than 10 days to reach the outskirts of the Black Evil Valley.
Looking at the mountain ahead that looked like a giant circling dragon, Wang Cheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly:
"This Black Evil Valley doesn't look like it was formed naturally. Instead, it looks like someone created it here with great magical powers."
However, Wang Cheng did not observe outside for too long. After determining the direction, he instantly turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the Black Evil Valley.
As Wang Cheng went deeper, the gradually thickening black evil spirit directly engulfed his figure.
After Wang Cheng entered, he instantly felt that his spiritual thoughts were obstructed by the evil spirit. Even if his spiritual thoughts were left outside for too long, they would be invaded by the released spiritual thoughts. This was more terrifying than the consumption of spiritual thoughts.
After all, as long as there is nothing wrong with the soul, the spiritual power will slowly recover.
However, if the divine consciousness is invaded and the soul is affected, it will be very difficult to recover the soul.
However, his own divine and demonic skills have a good effect in resisting this kind of black evil energy.
The consumption of these black evil spirits on his spiritual power is negligible, and it has no effect even if he uses his spiritual power to explore forward thousands of meters.
If it were an ordinary out-of-body state, it would probably be good enough to be able to explore 10 meters.
As for the state of concentration, let alone exploration, it is already very difficult to resist the invasion of the black evil energy.
Wang Cheng quickly came to the inner area of the Black Evil Valley and found many practitioners along the way.
It’s just that these practitioners are basically like groundhogs, basically they dig holes and go underground.
However, no one dived too deep. In the Black Evil Valley, the surface was often ravaged by black evil winds.
The bottom of the valley is where the black evil energy gathers. The deeper you go underground, the higher the concentration of the black evil energy. Even the celestial realm dare not go deep here. The celestial realm can only go a thousand meters deep into the valley. Wang Cheng went straight to the center of the Black Evil Valley, where the black evil energy has almost condensed into substance.
Entering deep into the inner circle, Wang Cheng walked at least tens of thousands of kilometers and indeed did not encounter a single cultivator.
"It seems that there won't be any problems here. Basically, no one will come to disturb me. If I really enter the center, I'm afraid it will consume a lot of my body and mind, not to mention that I have to dive a little deeper."
Along the way, Wang Shangtong encountered a black evil wind, but it was a bit far away from Wang Cheng at that time, so it did not affect him.
Wherever the Black Evil Wind passed, it swept away everything, even the mud on the ground.
Fortunately, there is not much vegetation here, and even the vegetation is basically bare, so there are no trees being uprooted, but flying sand and rocks are inevitable.
Wang Cheng chose a sunken place and began to dig a passage diagonally downwards.
For monks, digging soil was a very simple task.
However, the soil here in the Black Evil Valley is indeed very solid, and even ordinary weapons cannot destroy it in the slightest.
Most of the soil that could be destroyed here was scraped away by the Black Evil.
Now this place is also 10 points clean. Okay, with the treasure developed by Wang Cheng himself and the blessing of his own strength, the excavation speed is not slow, and Wang Cheng did not think it would be too big, as long as I can accommodate people to walk in.
With the help of a magical cave treasure to transport the soil, it took several hours to dig out a passage that was hundreds of meters long, more than 2 meters high and 1 meter wide.
At this time, Wang Cheng was also hundreds of meters underground, and this place was close to the center of the Black Evil Valley.
The black evil energy below was even more dense, so Wang Cheng only went into a depth of 100 meters and then stopped.
"I just need to dig out a cave here. Going down will consume too much energy and will not be conducive to my own breakthrough. But before breaking through, I must first see if I can find a way to remove the black evil energy in here. Otherwise, absorbing the power of heaven and earth here to break through is simply suicide."
Wang Cheng easily dug out a cave with a diameter of hundreds of meters and a height of half a meter.
"The next step is to isolate or even expel the black evil spirit according to the way of runes. Unfortunately, I cannot use my essence. Otherwise, if I use my own essence, I can easily absorb the black evil spirit completely."
If one's body wants to bear one's own essence, it would probably require at least the realm of gods and demons. After all, the Nine Levels of Gods and Demons is a process of transformation into the innate sacredness.
"Don't rush to explore the isolation method. Let's make a protective array first. If we were on the ground, we naturally wouldn't be able to set up a formation to restrict it. But now in the underground cave, the damage done by the Black Evil Wind to the formation is limited. Let's arrange the cave first."
The first thing Wang Cheng set up was the restrictions on defense and secret functions; the aspect of gathering spirits would have to wait.
Otherwise, the gathered spiritual energy will carry a large amount of black evil energy, and the concentration of the black evil energy underground will reach an alarming level. Wang Cheng does not want to take the risk.
Fortunately, it is not a big problem to build a defensive formation underground. The reason why Wang Cheng knew this is because he encountered a huge space dozens of meters deep underground when he came in.
They are all similar to a gathering point or a place for communication, and this also gave Wang Cheng inspiration that he could build his own cave even in an area close to the center.
Chapter 640: Out-of-body Perfection
More than a month passed, and a light flickered in Wang Cheng's hand. Then runes emerged and finally covered the entire cave.
The evil energy in the cave was quickly drawn away, like oil smoke meeting a range hood.
Looking at the rich energy in the cave, without any trace of evil spirit, Wang Cheng could not help but nod slightly, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes:
"It seems that this is the only way in the short term. I don't know how long it will take to create a method to utilize this black evil energy. However, I can make a breakthrough now, but before the breakthrough, I still need to set up a spirit gathering formation."
Wang Cheng was quite familiar with setting up the Spirit Gathering Array. Moreover, he was familiar with the steps and methods of setting it up, so it didn't take him long to complete it.
"This spirit gathering formation is more than 10 times stronger than the one I set up deep underground. Moreover, with the addition of medium or even superior spirit veins here, the spirit gathering effect is estimated to be much better. Now the black evil spirit that was sucked into the cave will be automatically eliminated. Now I can start to make a breakthrough."
Wang Cheng instantly input a stream of spiritual power into the formation, and then the entire giant spirit formation began to take effect instantly.
As countless energies were gathered together, the black evil energy within them also became extremely dense.
However, with the operation of the purification formation, the evil spirits were driven away again.
The remaining energy of heaven and earth doubled in density within just a few dozen breaths. As time went by, the energy concentration here continued to increase.
Wang Cheng looked at the black evil energy that was driven away and found that it did not go away, but merged into the surrounding soil outside his cave, which greatly increased the concentration of the black evil energy inside.
The increase in the concentration of black evil energy naturally affected the surrounding environment. The frequency of the black evil wind above Wang Cheng's cave was increasing, and its power was also increasing.
Wang Cheng didn't wait any longer. After adjusting his state, he quickly started to practice the breakthrough method of opening up all the orifices with one skill.
Afterwards, the power of heaven and earth around him quickly rushed towards him. At this time, the power of heaven and earth, which was hundreds of times denser than outside, was like a flood released from a dam, and was absorbed by Wang Cheng like a glutton.
And all the power of heaven and earth quickly poured into the 1296 soul acupoints in the royal city.
As the power of heaven and earth in the acupoints increased, the acupoints of the primordial spirit also began to expand faintly.
Afterwards, when the acupoint reaches its peak, it seems as if there are stars in the acupoint, appearing and disappearing.
Looking at the numerous dots, Wang Cheng suddenly had an epiphany. Those were the 129600 acupoints connected to his own Zhoutian acupoints.
