The Devilish Immortal

Chapter 43



Chapter 43 Upgrading of Two Stages

As soon as he entered the realm, the prosperous Primordial Qi made Lyu Liang vigorous! Then he saw the one-eyed Land Spirit grinning below the big tree.

Lyu Liang teleported there and made a bow instantly!

“Oh, oh, what are you doing, don’t be too polite! It has only been ten years. With the thinness of the Primordial Qi in the Mortal Realm, for you to have a cultivation speed like this is not easy! Good, really good!” The Land Spirit seemed to be in a good mood, and his only eye had turned into a crescent.

After exchanging a few words with the Land Spirit, Lyu Liang first went to his residence and settled the Feiling sword and Huanglei Five-dragon sword. Then he flew to the south.

Time was very precious for Lyu Liang. At present, the sky had not turned dark yet, and thus it was not the right time to visit senior Feiwu. Therefore, it was better to start practicing on the Devil Reshaping Technique.

Unconsciously, the sky turned dark. Lyu Liang who had been closing his eyes and practicing, suddenly opened his eyes in surprise.

He didn’t know when it happened but he was in the Cenotaph already. Xuanli Feiwu was smiling and Silence who was expressionless, stood opposite and looked at him.

Black had already run towards Xuanli Feiwu who was sitting on the Soul Cultivation Tree chair on the right. As before, it enjoyed his gentle touch comfortably.

“You came back on time and have already reached the Early-stage of Gold Core. Your body has been refined to the fifth tier. Although it is a bit slower than your cultivation speed, it is good enough!” Xuanli Feiwu showed a praising look.

Lyu Liang simply described his ten years of encounters outside. Then, gritting his teeth, he took out the Emperor Devil Pearl from his arms and made three bows to Xuanli Feiwu respectfully. Subsequently, he said solemnly, “Ancestor senior, my mother’s soul remnant is now inside the Emperor Devil Pearl. I have a selfish request, that is to let this soul remnant get nourishment from the Soul Cultivation Tree chair, so my mother’s soul can be restored at a faster rate.”

Xuanli Feiwu shook his head and laughed, “Dumb kid, your mother is both a Xuanli and my elder brother’s granddaughter. What’s more, I have an empty Soul Cultivation Tree chair which suits her perfectly.”

Although Lyu Liang had already guessed this result, he was greatly relieved. Then tears flowed down his cheeks unconsciously.

“Give me the Emperor Devil Pearl, and I will break it to let your mother’s soul attach directly to the chair,” Upon hearing his words, the Emperor Devil Pearl was respectfully handed over.

Xuanli Feiwu first examined it carefully and then slowly said, “Well, it takes some time to break the Emperor Devil Pearl. You don’t have to worry about it here. The degree of damage to your mother’s soul is even more serious than mine at that time. It would probably take a few decades to condense only the face. It should take a hundred years to raise the soul.”

After hearing those words, Lyu Liang bowed for few more times and left the Cenotaph. Black naturally remained in the arms of Xuanli Feiwu. Anyway, there was no need to stimulate the Shadow-devil Domain in here.

After that, Lu Liang began to focus on practicing his Devil Reshaping Technique. At his third year in the Virtual land, Lyu Liang finally completed his goal to refine his body to the sixth tier.

From the south, Lyu Liang flew directly to the Elixir-refining Room in the north, but did not see the King of Medicine. Only a storage bag was the entrance, and it seemed to be specially prepared for him.

Lyu Liang went up to pick up the storage bag. He bowed three times before he glanced at the bag with his Divine Sense. Then he was overwhelmed with joy. Though the King of Medicine always had a cold look that seemed indifferent to everyone, he had given Lyu Liang great help every time. There were only two small bottles inside, and each consisted of fifty medicinal pills glistening in gold lights. It was the upper-grade Core Condensation Pill used for upgrading cultivation in the Gold Core stage. Besides making another ten kowtows, Lyu Liang could not think of a better way to express his appreciation.

During the closed-door meditation in the Sword Character Immortal Palace, Lyu Liang had already condensed his Gold Core successfully. Now in Lyu Liang’s body, besides the Magic Core, the Five-element Bead and the Sea of Qi had disappeared. There was only one small round ball emitting a multicolored light, it constantly exuded a pure and rich Primordial Qi and was slowly rotating at this moment.

Lyu Liang still remembered that when his Gold Core condensed, in addition to the gradual disappearance of the Sea of Qi, the originally calm Five-element Bead suddenly began to merge with the developing Gold Core! Although it felt very strange, at the time he was on the verge of a breakthrough and had no choice but to ignore it. After the breakthrough was completed, the Gold Core was developed and turned into the strange situation now.

Anyway, there was nothing that Lyu Liang felt uncomfortable with, so he was too lazy to investigate it. His top priority was to improve his strength to the Middle-stage of Gold Core as soon as possible.

Going back to his residence, Lyu Liang did not hesitate to take the Core Condensation Pill, and then he began to practice.

In his fifth year in the Virtual Land, Lyu Liang failed to break the bottleneck to the Middle-stage of Gold Core, and there was only one Bottleneck-breaking Pill left. He was reluctant to use it. Thus, he changed his goal to the Training Tower.

He challenged the Training Tower as a Gold Core stage cultivator. The first level was still the War Wolf, but the aura that he emitted was at least at the Middle-stage of Gold Core.

The War Wolf looked at the stern-looking Lyu Liang, he smirked and laughed just like the last time, “Kid, it’s you again. Come and try it out, you still have some hope.”

As a result, they began to fight back and forth. After about an hour, Lyu Liang relied on the constant Linghuang Sword Essence and won against the wolf! The first level was passed again!

However, before he went up to the second floor, the wolf seemed to be muttering to himself, “This kid is okay, but it is impossible for him to go advance past the second level.”

On the second level, he saw the leopard again! If the previous time the leopard was fast, it was now even faster. Even if Lyu Liang used the third tier of the Kun Peng Skill and the Devil Thunder Wing, he was only faster than the leopard by a bit.

As a last resort, Lyu Liang used the fourth style of Heart Swordsmanship – the Tranquility Sword Essence. Lyu Liang concentrated and used the Qi Storage Pearl that he had already integrated into his Divine Soul but was yet to be used. Lyu Liang had stored the pearl full with Primordial Qi and Devil Qi.

A thick gray Sword Qi rushed into the sky and instantly formed a huge sword fence around the leopard. The circle formed was centered on Lyu Liang with a radius of thirty-three feet and a height of 110 feet.

The leopard, who was relaxed at first, finally frowned. Subsequently, the giant sword began to decompose from the top, turning into strips of needle-shaped silver-colored sword lights and attacked the leopard swiftly from all directions.

When the giant long sword was decomposed to half its original length, the leopard admitted defeat! The second level was passed again!

The third level was still the giant bear who looked innocent, but it was one head taller than before…

Lyu Liang had to admit that his Master was not someone simple. Apart from these puppets with extremely high spiritual intelligence, his use of the space laws was not far from the best.

In this battle, everything around fell into a mess. Lyu Liang spared no effort in using all his tricks. Even so, he was hit by the giant bear’s paws again and again.

Although it couldn’t be called a life and death battle, Lyu Liang’s nerves were still tensed to the extreme. He believed that if the bear hit him in a bad spot, he would not be far from death even if he survived…

The basis for the judgment of the War Wolf was dependent on Lyu Liang using only Primordial Qi. However, the Devil-Primordial Qi stimulated by Lyu Liang was superior to Primordial Qi.

At this moment, Lyu Liang’s aura was strong and stable. His eyes were calm yet filled with killing intent. Gradually, that empty feeling rose again and the Nature-Human Harmonization reappeared!

After two hours, this earth-shattering battle ended in a pyrrhic victory for Lyu Liang.

The reason for this tragedy was that Lyu Liang had used up all the Devil-Primordial Qi he had stored in the Qi Storage Pearl. The Primordial Qi and the Devil Qi he had were exhausted as well.

However, Lyu Liang’s eyes were still filled with excitement. In the previous battle, he had touched the edge of the domain law, and that was even under the condition of using a wooden sword! He had a hunch that once he changed his sword to Feiling, he could inspire the real power of the domain.

As for the fourth floor, Lyu Liang gave up without thinking about it.

Walking out of the Training Tower, Lyu Liang felt that his cultivation which was stagnant before once again showed signs of improving. Lyu Liang was overjoyed, he sat down directly on the ground and closed his eyes, beginning to break through the bottleneck.

Three months later, with a long whistle, lots of Primordial Qi poured into the head of Lyu Liang frantically. After an hour, he opened his eyes and grinned. He had reached the Middle-stage of Gold Core!

In his fifteenth year, in the Virtual Land, Lyu Liang met with a bottleneck once again when he wanted to break through to the Late-stage of Gold Core. Lyu Liang still used his old method and continued to challenge the Training Tower.

On the fourth floor, the giant eagle was waiting there already. Lyu Liang did not hesitate and directly stimulated the Qi Storage Pearl, and then he used Xuanyuan Swordsmanship and Heart Swordsmanship at the same time.

After years of trial and error, Lyu Liang nearly perfected the merging of the two swordsmanships, with one being real and the other unreal. Xuanyuan Swordsmanship was the basis for the realization of the Sword Tao domain. Heart Swordsmanship was the basis for enhancing the power of the domain.

The battle against the giant eagle lasted for an hour. Only half of the Devil-Primordial Qi was used from the Qi Storage Pearl when Lyu Liang won. He evaluated his strength and went to the fifth level.

On the fifth level, the moment Lyu Liang appeared, the big monkey made his move. There was no trace of hesitation. When the monkey’s two claws shot at Lyu Liang, its long tail also slapped towards him with pressure.

Lyu Liang got excited and instantly went into the fight with the monkey. Both parties used all their power, but neither of them could outdo the other.

At this crucial moment, Lyu Liang smiled slyly, and the Ghost Devil Head entered Lyu Liang’s head without any warning. In the blink of an eye, Lyu Liang’s momentum soared and smashed the big monkey that was confused. In less than thirty minutes, the battle ended, and Lyu Liang won.

Looking at the unconvinced expression of the monkey, Lyu Liang scratched his head reluctantly and smiled apologetically.

In fact, Lyu Liang had longed to try it, but he was afraid that this would violate the rules of the Training Tower. After all, doing this would upgrade his stage. However, he had realized that if he did not do it this time, he did not know if he could pass the fifth level or not. Lyu Liang had no choice but to try it. To his surprise, it was not against the rules!

However, Lyu Liang did not intend to use this trick to challenge the Training Tower. After all, there would be no purpose in using this to train. With the experiment done, he now knew the outcome.

Just when Lyu Liang hesitated to see the sixth level, the voice of the Land Spirit came to his mind: The Feiling sword had recuperated and was ready for use. However, the Gold-thunder Five-dragon Sword was an upper-grade immortal standard magic treasure, and it would probably take another few decades for it to recuperate completely.

Lyu Liang was overjoyed when he heard these words! Immediately, he went out of the Training Tower and found the Land Spirit under the big tree. He took over the Feiling sword with shaking hands. Looking at Boy Feiling who emerged, Lyu Liang bowed deeply. Then, with a laugh, he flew back to the Training Tower.

On the sixth level, there was a twenty-two-foot tall human-shaped puppet that was holding a trident. Seeing Lyu Liang, he smiled slightly and emitted an aura belonging to the Late-stage of Gold Core.

Lyu Liang had no fear and he moved, activating the ‘complete state’ of the Feiling sword, and at the same time exerting Xuanyuan Swordsmanship and Heart Swordsmanship.

Sure enough, after having the Feiling sword, there was a qualitative leap in terms of the power of swordsmanship and the degree of completion of the domain!

The battle did not last long and only continued for about thirty minutes. The trident of the puppet was cut off, and its left arm was missing too. Therefore, Lyu Liang won.

Just when Lyu Liang felt guilty for destroying the limbs of the puppet, a white light flashed, and the puppet was restored to its original state.

On the seventh level, there was a teenage-looking puppet with dual swords and was at the Late-stage of Gold Core. What surprised Lyu Liang was that the puppet actually attacked him with Xuanyuan Swordsmanship and was able to use the Dragon-slaying Move that he had not mastered yet! Seeing its swordsmanship aura and power, it was apparent that the puppet had learned something about the domain.

It was a rare opportunity to face an enemy that actually looked like himself. Lyu Liang did not hesitate and made his most powerful move at the same time. After fighting for about an hour, when his Devil-Primordial Qi was exhausted, the teenage-looking puppet was also drained of Sword Qi and collapsed, collapsing on the floor in defeat.

At this moment, Lyu Liang seemed to realize something. He did not even have time to come out of the Training Tower and made his breakthrough directly on the seventh floor. He repeatedly recollected the scenes of the previous battles. The opponent’s fighting methods which were similar to his flashed in his sea of consciousness over and over again.

In his eighteenth year, in the Virtual Land, Lyu Liang who had been meditating for nearly three years, suddenly opened his eyes. At the same time, endless Primordial Qi began to gather at the top of his head…

A month later, with a happy roar, Lyu Liang appeared outside the Training Tower. At this point, his strength at the Late-stage of Gold Core could be seen clearly.

The Land Spirit was standing in front of Lyu Liang before he knew it. He grinned and said, “Good boy, you are so talented that you are nearly catching up with the master! Let’s go to the Rare Treasure Hall, and I will take you to choose magic treasures!”
