Chapter 5 After four months, breaking through the third realm, and greatly improving strength
The underground world is vast and boundless, with varied landforms. It is not at all simpler than the world above ground.
In a continuous mountain range, Hua Tiandu stepped into the valley and following the sound of rushing water, he found a waterfall flowing down from a high cliff.
He took off his clothes, revealing his blood-stained body, and jumped down into the deep pool formed by the waterfall.
Since entering the underground world, in addition to daily activities, Hua Tian would take the initiative to attack and fight with those demons and monsters.
Thanks to the help of the Moon-Changing Luck Method, it only took him one month to condense the blood and flesh throughout his body, breaking through the realm and being promoted to the sixth level of the physical realm - Breath.
Of course, his wanton slaughter of aliens also caused him to offend many underground races.
Fortunately, this area is still on the outskirts of the underground world, and most of the alien races encountered are at a similar level to Hua Tiandu, so even if he is outnumbered, he can barely cope with it.
In the clear pool of water, a human figure was tumbling, and a blood-red color spread in the water. Then, due to being diluted by the water, it quickly disappeared.
After cleaning himself, Hua Tiandu climbed up onto a solid rock below the waterfall, using his back to withstand the impact of the waterfall's water flow in order to exercise his body.
Amid the splashing water, one could vaguely see scars of varying lengths on his body, which showed how many injuries he had suffered during these days.
After a while, Hua Tiandu felt that his body had reached its limit, so he walked out of the rushing water curtain.
He swam across the pool, came to the shore, and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.
As his mind was always paying attention to the changes inside his body, he gradually entered a state of oblivion of both himself and the world.
At this moment, Hua Tiandu seemed to see the organs in his body shrinking, condensing, and becoming solid and strong.
"puff!"
Suddenly, he felt his internal organs tremble, and a mass of matter surged out of his stomach and lungs, along his airway and esophagus into his mouth, and was spat out by him.
It turned out to be two sticky lumps of impurities with smelly blood.
After spitting out the sticky substance, Hua Tian felt his whole body was unblocked and refreshed.
"Is this the seventh level of the physical body - the inner strength realm?"
"It is recorded in the Taoist books that people at this level will constantly secrete nectar from their mouths. There will be no impurities in their internal organs, and their physical fitness will be further improved."
Beside him, the ancient furnace of the Great Wilderness appeared, and the Fire Spirit walked out of the furnace, holding a new set of clothes in his hands.
"Tiandu, this is a Taoist robe that I made by collecting several kinds of treasures from this land. Please put it on."
Hearing this, Hua Tiandu stood up, put on a proper Taoist robe, and instantly felt refreshed.
"This set of Taoist robes is a spiritual weapon. I have carved a large formation on it. It has many wonderful uses, such as fire warding, water avoidance, and poison removal. It can also fly for a short period of time. You will experience it more in the future."
In the world of immortality, the grades of magic weapons are divided into magic weapons, spiritual weapons, treasure weapons, Taoist weapons, and immortal weapons from low to high.
Magical instruments are the lowest-level objects, which contain the magical power of monks with supernatural powers. Their functions are often relatively simple, such as fire talismans, water purification talismans, and gale talismans.
Spiritual weapons are of a higher level, containing magic arrays carved by cultivators at the fifth level of magical powers - the Heavenly Man Realm. Not only do they possess extraordinary spirituality, they also contain some kind of magical power, with enormous destructive power.
As for treasures, they are more difficult to create, so they are even rarer. This kind of magic weapon has a wide range of functions, including self-defense, killing enemies, refining equipment, and refining pills.
As for Taoist weapons, they only exist in legends. Most people have never even heard of them, let alone understand them.
In the entire Xuanhuang world, only the largest sect, Taiyi Sect, owns the immortal weapon, which is called the Eternal Divine Furnace.
It is precisely with the help of this immortal furnace that the Taiyi Sect can dominate the world and become the leader in the immortal way.
The Fire Spirit is the spirit of the top-grade Taoist artifact, the Great Wilderness Ancient Furnace, and is equivalent to a master in the Secret Realm of Longevity.
This underground world is extremely rich in resources. He only needs to pick up materials from anywhere to easily forge a spiritual weapon.
In the valley, beside the waterfall, Huo Ling looked at the elegant and handsome Hua Tiandu, smiled with satisfaction, and took out a spiritual weapon-level sword. "Your realm has greatly increased. Next, we will enter the deep area of the underground world for training."
"The enemy there is even stronger. You can discard your magic sword and use this spiritual sword instead."
Looking at the extremely thoughtful Fire Spirit, Hua Tian bowed and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, Teacher."
This weapon spirit not only taught him, but also protected him and gave him a spiritual weapon. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call him a teacher.
Looking at the fire spirit with a smile on his face, Hua Tiandu stretched out his hands and respectfully took the spirit sword.
Since he had not yet reached the realm of supernatural powers, he used the primitive method of blood sacrifice to initially refine the spirit sword.
Then, he put the magic sword on his back, looking like a Quanzhen Taoist.
-
Another two months passed in a flash.
In the deeper area of the underground world, at the top of a steep mountain, Hua Tiandu was covered in blood.
The blood on his robe included both his own blood and the blood of other species.
The blade of the spiritual sword he held was also stained with blood of various colors, which were left by those low-level monsters and earth demons.
This blood is the proof that he fought all the way from the foot of the mountain to the top.
Behind him was a long road stained with blood of all kinds, with dozens of corpses lying on both sides of the road.
Among them, there are monsters such as the two-headed blood tiger, shadow leopard, and netherworld bear, as well as ugly low-level demons and a very conspicuous five-tailed marten.
At this moment, Hua Tiandu, who had completed many killings, stood alone on the top of the mountain.
He closed his eyes, listened to the "thumping" of his heartbeat, and paid attention to his body that was rapidly transforming.
In the Dantian area, the ball of Heavenly Lord’s blood released traces of mysterious power, which flowed throughout his body and was transforming his entire body.
Inside his Taoist robe, Hua Tiandu's entire body began to shed skin. All his old scars and wounds fell off, and were replaced by a layer of smooth and flexible skin.
"After many bloody battles, I finally broke through to the eighth level of the physical realm - Divine Bravery!"
In this bloody battle, he was besieged by those low-level monsters and demons. It was precisely because of the pressure brought by these monsters and demons that his potential was stimulated one by one, which enabled him to break through the realm.
During this period, he made many enemies because of his massacres of foreign races.
This war started with an encounter.
At the beginning, Hua Tiandu only encountered a few small monsters at the foot of the mountain. He didn’t think much about it at the time and just killed them all. It was a convenient thing anyway.
Unexpectedly, he was caught by a powerful five-tailed marten nearby.
Because the strength of both sides was similar, Hua Tian was entangled by the other side and was unable to escape for a while.
Afterwards, the nearby goblins and demons received the message from the five-tailed marten and began to gather here, which doubled his pressure.
Unable to fight head-on, Hua Tiandu switched to guerrilla mode, fighting while retreating to the mountains.
During the chase and escape battle, although he killed many of the opponent's little monsters, he was also seriously injured more than once.
Once, due to a long period of fighting, his physical strength was greatly reduced, and he lost his grip and his neck was cut by the sharp claws of a five-tailed marten, and he almost died.
Fortunately, at the critical moment of life and death, the essence and blood of the Immortal Pan Wu exerted great power, not only curing his injuries and saving his life, but also allowing him to restore his physical strength, allowing him to escape from danger in time.
Later, with the support of the Heavenly Monarch's blood essence, Hua Tiandu began to use delaying and attrition tactics against those alien races.
Relying on his extraordinary intelligence and strength, he slaughtered a large number of aliens through sneak attacks and head-on combat, greatly reducing the enemy's strength.
In the final battle on the mountain top, Hua Tiandu slaughtered all the aliens, won the final victory, and also broke through the realm, which can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
