Chapter 371 Two-Star Xuanzun
Twenty-one times!
The foundation of cultivation has broken through from twenty times to twenty-one times.

It may seem like it has only doubled, but it is actually more powerful than raising the cultivation realm by several levels, and the benefits are far greater.

It has been said many times before that the further your cultivation foundation goes, the more difficult it will be to improve.

In the past, Lu Changjing could easily raise his cultivation foundation to three, five, or ten times that of a warrior of the same level with great momentum... But at present, let alone ten, five, or three times... even doubling it would be extremely difficult.

It has been several years since the foundation of cultivation reached twenty times, and it has only doubled. From this, we can see how difficult it is to improve the foundation of cultivation now.

Compared with the past, it is so different and cannot be compared at all.

As for talent and qualifications, they have also increased dramatically, getting closer and closer to the level of a monster, far exceeding the previous times.

Not to mention the realm of cultivation, which has the largest improvement, but the benefits are far less than the cultivation foundation and talent.

Lu Changjing has already gained such benefits, let alone Queen Mother Hua Yanqiu.

In terms of cultivation realm, Queen Mother Hua Yanqiu broke through to the second-order god and demon level in one fell swoop, and possessed a lifespan of more than a thousand years.

His cultivation foundation suddenly increased to six times that of gods and demons of the same level, which is far beyond the reach of ordinary gods and demons, and he can almost dominate those of the same level.

The biggest benefit is naturally the improvement in talent and aptitude. He has leapt to the level of one in a million, which is also a peerless realm. He is in the same realm as Lu Changjing.

Just as Queen Mother Hua Yanqiu helped Lu Changjing so much in the past, Lu Changjing has also taught him so much now, even much more than Queen Mother Hua Yanqiu helped him back then.

This is what the saying "repay a drop of kindness with a spring of water" means.

You can’t blame Lu Changjing for being too fickle, nor can you blame him for even sleeping with Hua Yanqiu. The reason is simple: this is what Hua Yanqiu needs and what she requires.

Lu Changjing did this to repay his gratitude by helping Hua Yanqiu break through to the realm of gods and demons so that he could have a longer life.

As a young man who traveled from the Xia Kingdom in the previous life, Lu Changjing possesses one of the best qualities of the Xia Kingdom, which no one can deny.

thanksgiving!

Or it could be said that he was repaying a favor. If it were another man, I'm afraid he would not repay Queen Mother Hua Yanqiu in this way.

In order to enable her to obtain the greatest benefit, Lu Changjing did not hesitate to successively perform the Dragon and Phoenix Harmony, the Initiation Technique, the Marrow Cleansing Secret Technique... so that Hua Yanqiu could obtain the greatest benefit.

Doing so would damage his cultivation foundation and Xuanhun, but Lu Changjing still did it. If it were any other Xuanzun, who would be able to do the same?

Grateful, affectionate, loyal...so making Hua Yanqiu his new love is definitely not a problem with Lu Changjing himself.

He is just an Immortal Emperor who wants to repay his gratitude.

By the time Empress Dowager Hua Yanqiu left, several days and nights had passed. She left the imperial study with light steps, carrying a full load of harvest.

Both of them gained considerable benefits from it, so it was a win-win situation.

After seeing his mother off with a smile, Lu Changjing began to practice again.

In between practice, he would also do other things, such as improving his formation skills, improving his alchemy skills, reading a lot of books... Comprehending purification skills was naturally one of them.

In order to better comprehend the purification technique, Lu Changjing also imprisoned some blood beasts in Baiyujing and conducted purification experiments on them.

He discovered that with his current entry-level purification technique, even with the help of the purification wood heart, he could only purify a level 20 blood beast at most, turning it into a blood monster for his own use.

If there were more, it wouldn't work, but a level 20 blood monster wouldn't be of much use to him.

He could only wait for the purification technique to continue to improve until it could purify the blood beast that would be helpful to him.

At least he had to reach the minor success level, so Lu Changjing read many classics and conducted thousands of experiments. After all, he had already perfected many combat skills and secret techniques and did not need to spend much time and energy on them.

In this way, he could spend more time on purification. There were so many blood beasts in the sea. If he could purify them into monsters and use them for his own purposes, it would bring him endless help.

These blood beasts are simple-minded and easy to enslave. They can be easily guided through soul-stealing techniques and turned into grateful blood monsters.

Since you have the free time, it’s okay to practice and contemplate occasionally.

Since traveling through time, Lu Changjing has gained many benefits through the soul-picking technique, the Nine Dragon Tribulation technique, the soul-stealing technique... so he attaches great importance to things in this regard.

"Ding……"

At a certain moment, a slight sound was heard in his mind, and the accumulation of many years gathered together again, forming a wave like a flood, sweeping across Lu Changjing's Xuanhun Sea.

A flash of inspiration!
Epiphany arrives!

Lu Changjing was so immersed in it that he had no idea where he was.

The purification technique, which was originally like a heavenly book and had almost no progress, actually began to improve at this moment.

The purifying wood heart on his body naturally merged into his body, assisting in the improvement of the purification technique, and its size gradually became smaller.

This piece of purified wood heart, which came from nowhere and of unknown level, is about to help Lu Changjing reproduce the fortune of the Blood Queen, allowing him to merge with it and thus transform it into a magical power.

However, this is undoubtedly difficult. The Blood Queen possessed the power of purification due to many coincidences, but Lu Changjing wanted to break it by force and follow the Blood Queen's path again.

Even if the purification magic power can be transformed into a purification secret technique that can be practiced, Lu Changjing will not be able to practice it successfully without the assistance of the golden finger.

Now it can only be treated as a secret skill that can be developed and practiced bit by bit. As for turning it into a supernatural power, who knows how long it will take, and Lu Changjing is not sure.

Even so, this secret technique has a terrifying effect in eliminating the chaotic will of the blood beast, far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

All kinds of insights came one after another, all of which were the accumulation of many years, and they blossomed brightly in the sudden enlightenment, allowing Lu Changjing to comprehend deeper things.

Golden Finger, Purification of the Heart, Sudden Enlightenment... With so many advantages, the purification technique finally made progress, and it was getting faster and faster.

Among all the skills, combat techniques, and secret techniques that Lu Changjing has practiced... none of them has been able to reach the level of purification. It is so difficult.

I hope that the follow-up can bring him enough benefits, otherwise all his energy and time over the years will be wasted.

As for whether it could eventually turn into a magical power, Lu Changjing was not sure, even if he had the golden finger in his hand.

With all distracting thoughts gone and his mind clear, Lu Changjing continued to practice, completely unaware of where he was.

This sudden enlightenment lasted for more than an hour, which can be said to be one of the longest sudden enlightenments in recent years.

Years of accumulation and years of distress were all answered, allowing the purification technique to advance by leaps and bounds, breaking through from the entry level to the level of minor success in one fell swoop, and its power increased several times.

Although it is not a supernatural power, it can barely be called a semi-supernatural power. After all, purification techniques have no levels. Once practiced successfully, it can be improved as Lu Changjing's cultivation level improves.

It’s just that the difficulty of improvement is too great, and it has reached a non-enlightenment state, with almost no progress.

But looking at countless practitioners, how many can achieve sudden enlightenment throughout their entire lives?

Even if you can have an epiphany, it is already very good if you can have it once or twice in your life, let alone three or four times, or even more.

Lu Changjing's current situation is rare and no one else has a golden finger like him.

Therefore, the purification technique is most likely only suitable for him to practice, and not suitable for other warriors to practice.

After a little adaptation, Lu Changjing tried it and caught a level 30 blood beast for purification.

Strands of purifying power continuously merged into his soul and spirit, eliminating the chaotic will within it.

Under Lu Changjing's joyful gaze, these chaotic wills were indeed eliminated. In just a cup of tea, the blood beast turned into a blood monster.

While eliminating the chaotic will, Lu Changjing also guided it through the soul-changing technique and used the soul-stealing technique to capture it, thus making it a blood monster under his command.

Even if someone later summons its soul, purifies it, or uses other means to free it from soul-stealing control, it will know that it was Lu Changjing who helped it get rid of its chaotic will, and it will remember this favor.

In this case, the possibility of betrayal is not great. Even Lu Changjing has to admit that compared to the human race, these blood beasts are much more loyal and do not have so many messy crooked thoughts.

And because they are in a state of chaos all year round, they are quite simple, much better than humans, and much easier to control.

Since even a level 30 blood beast can be easily purified, those above level 30 should be able to be purified as well.

Lu Changjing had already imprisoned a level 31 blood whale for this moment, and it was also a form of experiment.

Lu Changjing came to its cage specifically, looked at the blood whale that was more than a thousand meters long, began to guide it with the soul-changing technique, and made a contract with it.

After learning that Lu Changjing could help it get rid of its chaotic will and transform it into a blood monster, but that it would have to work for Lu Changjing for a thousand years before it could be free, the blood whale agreed after a little hesitation.

During these days of imprisonment, it also learned the reasons from Lu Changjing and was well prepared for this.

Although the blood beast is confused most of the time and does a lot of messy things, it is still lucid occasionally. The stronger its cultivation strength, the more lucid it is.

This blood whale, which has reached level 31, is awake for only a few moments every day, and then falls into confusion again, not even knowing what it is doing.

These blood beasts were quite frightened by this situation. Now that there was such an opportunity, the blood whales naturally had no objection.

"Chi chi chi... Dang, dang, dang..."

With the cooperation of the blood whale, Xiao Cheng's purification technique began to produce amazing results, clearing away the chaotic will in his mind, while sorting out his memories and thoughts, allowing him to become normal little by little.

However, after a short while, the blood whale was once again controlled by the chaotic will and was about to fall into riot.

Fortunately, Lu Changjing was already prepared. He directly grasped his soul and made him fall into a coma, so as to continue the purification.

Although it was a little slow, it was still effective. The purification technique at the minor success level could indeed eliminate the chaotic will of blood beasts above level 30.

This means that Lu Changjing can obtain a large number of loyal blood monster slaves through the purification technique. Even if he only uses the soul-stealing technique, the effect is close to the Nine Dragon Tribulation and Soul-Picking Technique.

The Nine Dragon Tribulation and the Soul-Picking Technique combined can only control eighteen slaves. No more than that. The Soul-Snatching Technique is more efficient.

In the future, unless he meets those particularly important people, Lu Changjing will not easily give them the Soul-Picking Quota and Nine Dragons Quota.

Currently, those who are qualified to obtain Soul-Picking Slaves and Nine Dragon Slaves are all Xuanzun, and Lu Changjing’s fifteen places have already been used.

Except for his love Feng Qi, all other Xuanzuns on Chang'an Island were enslaved and controlled by the Soul-Picking Technique and the Nine Dragon Tribulation.

When higher-level slaves are available in the future, the Soul-Picking Slaves and Nine Dragon Slaves may be replaced.

After he had mastered the purification technique and was able to purify blood beasts above level 30, Lu Changjing felt much more at ease.

If any powerful blood beast jumps out of the sea in the future, he can capture and control it, make it his slave, and help him guard Chang'an Island.

This can also be considered as learning from the barbarians in order to defeat them. With these high-level blood beasts guarding the sea, the blood beasts in the sea will be much easier to deal with.

Nowadays, most of the blood beasts in the four seas surrounding Chang'an Island have been frozen on Chang'an Island and have become reserve food for the human race.

But there are some that are more cold-resistant, hiding in the depths of the four seas. No one knows when they will be unable to bear it and leave the depths of the four seas and enter Chang'an Island.

Lu Changjing did not deliberately look for them. After all, the four seas at this moment still have a territory of hundreds of billions of square kilometers, and the sea depth is unknown, stretching down layer by layer.

Under such circumstances, it is not easy to search for the whereabouts of these blood beasts and sea beasts.

The land around Chang'an Island was more than 300 billion square kilometers a hundred years ago, and the surrounding Fengtian Cold Prison was generally more than 300,000 kilometers away from Chang'an Island.

However, with the advancement of Fengtian Cold Prison, it is now only about 100,000 kilometers away from Chang'an Island, and the land of the four seas has also shrunk several times, leaving only a few hundred billion square kilometers.

Now standing on Chang'an Island, with Lu Changjing's eyesight, he can already see the Fengtian Cold Prison that covers the sky and blocks out the sun a hundred thousand miles away.

Lu Changjing also gradually discovered one thing, that is, this world is most likely flat rather than round, because when he looks at things in the distance, there are basically no ups and downs.

Unlike on Earth, if you look at distant things on the sea, you will see natural ups and downs, which is a completely different scene from that on Earth.

At present, the Super Sealing Cold Prison is still advancing towards Chang'an Island, and is about to enter within 100,000 kilometers. More and more small-scale Sealing Cold Prisons are leaving the Super Sealing Cold Prison and entering Chang'an Island.

Fortunately, Lu Changjing has already built more than a hundred Dinghai Xuan Formations, spread across the three states, and cleverly integrated them into the Jiuzhou Xuan Formations. He can mobilize the power of the Dinghai Pearl to stabilize the situation, and the effect is getting better and better.

Therefore, the impact on the three states is not significant. At most, the temperature will be slightly lower, but all kinds of crops can be grown, and only a few places need to replace crops.

As more and more Dinghai Xuan Formations are built, the Dajing Immortal Dynasty will become more and more stable. By then, even if the Super Fengtian Cold Prison lands on Chang'an Island, it will be able to effectively weaken its power and protect this area.

Even so, Lu Changjing asked the human race to prepare more and better underground cities, take various warming measures, and store a large amount of food in preparation for the upcoming disasters.

This is also something that cannot be helped. Even after becoming the Immortal Emperor of Dajing, there are still many things that Lu Changjing cannot do.

Practicing is not as easy as before, and the difficulty is gradually increasing.

The most important issue is the lack of resources and treasures. Chang'an Island has limited Xuan-level resources and treasures. Otherwise, it would not have been able to support fifteen Xuanzuns before.

However, Lu Changjing's consumption far exceeded that of fifteen Xuanzuns and was comparable to the normal consumption of dozens of Xuanzuns.

In other words, the Xuan-level resources and treasures he consumed in a year were equivalent to the annual consumption of dozens of Xuanzuns, and the Xuan-level resources and treasures on Chang'an Island were simply unable to supply them.

This also forced Lu Changjing to reduce the use of various Xuandan and Xuanyao and Xuan-level resources, and he could no longer take Xuandan and Xuanyao as unscrupulously as before.

As for the mysterious treasure, Lu Changjing hadn't seen what it looked like for a long time, let alone taking it.

Under such circumstances, one can imagine how difficult it is to practice.

Even though he had a talent that was close to the level of a demon, and could still achieve enlightenment from time to time, but without sufficient resources and treasures, Lu Changjing's cultivation speed inevitably slowed down.

At present, after practicing for one year, he can only catch up with the Xuanzun of the same level who has practiced for about a hundred years, which is a lot lower than before.

In the past, one year of practice was equivalent to hundreds of years of practice for a warrior of the same level. It is not like now, where the amount is reduced by several times.

The reason why the gap has narrowed is not only because of the problem of resources, but also because the talents and qualifications of those who can cultivate to the realm of Xuanzun have basically reached an astonishing level.

For example, among the fifteen Xuanzuns enslaved by Lu Changjing, half of them have talents at the level of monstrous evildoers, which is one level higher than Lu Changjing, and the others all have talents at the level of peerless evildoers, and none of them is lower than the level of peerless evildoers.

Lu Changjing spent so much time and acquired thousands of points of immortal physique, and with the help of the golden finger, he was able to raise his talent to an unparalleled level.

But these Xuan servants were born with such talents and qualifications. Sometimes Lu Changjing felt helpless when thinking about it.

The difference in talent and aptitude is not big, in fact, the talent and aptitude of these Xuan servants are better than Lu Changjing. The only thing that can widen the gap is the super digestion and foundation consolidation effect brought by the golden finger.

However, Xuan-level resources and treasures are relatively scarce now. Under such circumstances, the gap between Lu Changjing and the Xuanzuns of the same level will naturally narrow further.

In addition, the energy consumed by Lu Changjing's cultivation improvement is more than twenty-one times that of a Xuanzun of the same level, so the speed at which his current cultivation level is improving is not much faster than that of a Xuanzun of the same level.

Even if Lu Changjing's practice in one day can catch up with that of a Xuanzun of the same level in a hundred days, the consumption of the Xuanzun of the same level is only one twenty-first of his. In this case, Lu Changjing's improvement speed is actually only several times that of the other party.

Thinking of this, Lu Changjing felt helpless.

Feeling that he had already reached the perfect level of cultivation, he decided to strive for the two-star level.

Practicing Buddhism is difficult, as difficult as ascending to heaven.

It took several years for Lu Changjing to reach the perfection of one star and be able to impact the two star realm.

Think about it, it only took a few years to break through dozens of small realms and step into the realm of gods and demons in one fell swoop.

But now, it has taken several years to improve to a small level. Just thinking about it makes people sad.
