Chapter 75: Jiuhua Cave (VI)

At this place, Yun Shang saw the exit, which was under a paulownia tree.

Compared with other paulownia trees, this one is not very tall and has fewer leaves. Branches branch out from the trunk, forming a bird's nest about three or four meters wide. In the bird's nest, a ball of fire is burning.

"Chi!"

A chirping sound came.

The ball of fire flew down.

This is a fairy bird, with a chicken head, a swallow chin, a snake neck, and a fish tail. Its wings are spread and its body is filled with flames.

The entire body of this fairy bird was also sealed, and its aura seemed to be restricted by some formation.

But a phoenix is ​​a phoenix after all.

He exudes an aura of nobility, power, mystery and dominance.

Boom!

As the phoenix appeared, it spread its wings and a flame appeared, rushing towards Yun Shang.

This flame is not a magical power, but its domineering nature is unimaginable.

"Nanming Lihuo!"

Yun Shang frowned, and her magic power poured into the magical talisman, a layer of Chaos light protecting herself. The Nanming Lihuo descended and touched the Chaos divine light, and a sizzling sound emerged.

The void vibrated.

The Chaos Divine Light was burned away by the flames.

However, after more than ten breaths, the flames dissipated and Yun Shang breathed a sigh of relief.

The phoenix flew back to its nest without saying a word.

Yun Shang was overjoyed. She bowed to the fairy beast Phoenix and walked towards the exit.

After passing the eighth level, Yun Shang finally met other people.

The female cultivator who cultivated the ice-attributed magical power was here, while the others were nowhere to be seen.

"My fellow Taoist, have the others already gone to the next level?"

Yun Shang asked.

The female cultivator had a cold expression. When she heard Yun Shang's words, she frowned slightly and said, "Yes, they all went to the next level, and they barely made it."

"Thank you very much."

Yun Shang thanked her and found the old man again to exchange for the Chaos Immortal Scripture.

This time, I had a full eight days to comprehend the Hunyuan Immortal Sutra.

However, when Yun Shang was comprehending the Hunyuan Immortal Sutra, she offered up the Chaos Lotus. Lotus-like treasures, in addition to their own defense, are also helpful for cultivators in comprehending martial arts and magical powers. Yun Shang offered up the Chaos Lotus, which emitted layers of Chaos light, and her speed in comprehending the Hunyuan Immortal Sutra actually increased a bit.

Even the ninth-grade golden elixir in the Dantian Qi Sea was spewing out Chaos Mysterious Qi.

Part of the Chaos Xuanqi was integrated into the physical body, part into the soul, and part into the Chaos Lotus.

Yun Shang's speed in comprehending the Hunyuan Immortal Sutra actually increased a little.

Eight days passed like this, and Yun Shang completed her comprehension and had a different understanding.

After coming out of retreat, Yun Shang continued to comprehend and deduce what she had learned over the past eight days.

Half a year later.

Yun Shang's soul moved, and the next moment, her body disappeared from the spot.

Yun Shang stood in the void, as if she was standing in the same place, yet seemed different.

After two or three breaths, Yun Shang walked out from the void again.

The female cultivator who was practicing nearby saw this scene and showed surprise in her eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Yun has already comprehended the mystery of the void?"

The female cultivator came over and asked in a cold voice.

Yun Shang shook her head:

"How can it be that simple? To comprehend the mystery of the void, one must at least be a Spiritual Transformation Venerable, whose soul transforms from Yin to Yang. Although we are ninth-grade golden elixirs, the heaven and earth aura of the golden elixir is somewhat special, and we have achieved a little in advance, but we are still far from comprehending the mystery of the void."

"Fellow Daoist Yun, why should you be so modest? A ninth-grade golden elixir has the potential to become an immortal. When you and I condense our Nascent Soul, we will surely be able to comprehend the mystery of the void, and it is not impossible for us to even see through the void."

The female cultivator had a confident look on her face.

Yun Shang smiled silently.

After the Nascent Soul stage is the Spirit Transformation stage, which is the top stage for cultivators in the Shenwu Realm. It will be extremely difficult to cultivate further and one needs to go to other worlds.

It is mentioned in the Hunyuan Immortal Sutra.

Soon after Yun Shang condensed the golden elixir, she was able to comprehend some of the mysteries of the void, and her body could escape into the void.

This is already a method reached the Spiritual Transformation Stage.

Having achieved this, Yun Shang was somewhat happy, but not very complacent.

The ninth-grade golden elixir is mysterious and unpredictable.

The mysterious energy of heaven and earth that the golden elixir absorbs and exhales every day has unpredictable power, which is much higher than the mysterious energy of heaven and earth that the upper and middle third-grade golden elixirs absorb and exhale. Even the seventh-grade and eighth-grade golden elixirs cannot compare to it.

It is estimated that only the seventh-grade and eighth-grade golden elixirs can comprehend the mystery of the void in advance and reach the level of Yun Shang in the Nascent Soul stage.

If now, Yun Shang was attacked by tenth-level and above monster like in Misty Forest before, Yun Shang could escape by herself and travel through the void without any difficulty.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, I wonder if there are any difficulties in guarding the ninth level?"

Yun Shang asked.

The female cultivator's surname was Lin, and Yun Shang didn't know her specific name.

Yun Shang was ready to go to the ninth level, but she was still a little nervous.

The phoenix in the eighth level had its magical powers sealed, but the condensed Nanming Fire almost broke Yun Shang's defensive magical powers, and its power was abnormal.

"The ninth level is a black bear!"

Fellow Daoist Lin looked extremely cautious. "Unless you have great defensive and escaping abilities, you will not be able to defeat your opponent once you enter this stage. This black bear seems to be an ancient species that has mastered the power of physical training. It has thick skin and great strength."

"Body-refining magical power? That's really troublesome."

Yun Shang said in a low voice.

Supernatural powers are also classified according to their functions.

For example, offensive magical powers, defensive magical powers, auxiliary magical powers, escape magical powers, body refining magical powers and so on.

Among the many magical powers, the body-refining magical power is one of the most difficult to practice.

"I am still short of the Ice Soul Frost Chi Divine Light. If Fellow Daoist Hong wants to try the ninth level, please feel free to do so."

After Fellow Daoist Lin finished speaking, she left on her own to practice hard on the side.

Yun Shang was not in a hurry and continued to practice hard.

It has been nearly twenty years since she came here. There are still ten years before the Jiuhua Secret Realm is closed. In the next ten years, Yun Shang will focus on cultivation. It would be best if she can pass the next ninth and tenth levels. If she can't, it won't affect anything.

During this trip, Yun Shang condensed the ninth-grade golden elixir and refined her supernatural powers.

It's already very satisfactory.

As for the rest, they are secondary.

Yun Shang practiced in seclusion.

Changes in the body, soul, magical powers, etc. are secondary. If Yun Shang wants to increase her strength now, she can only improve her skills.

Now she have an experience of immortal in swordsmanship and a trace of his sword intents, she needs to comprehend it and make her sword intents upgrade further.

This process lasted for two years.

Sword intents appeared around Yun Shang, she was constantly comprehending sword intents, before she opened her eyes.

So that's how it is!

Although she comprehend it and the understanding of sword intents become deeper, but she needs to fight with opponent with sword to improve it.

This is definitely a point she lacks.

But now the advantage is her understanding is already up to par, if she has reached the point in battle she can upgrade quickly.

A hint of eagerness flashed through Yun Shang's heart.

...

After that, Yun Shang said goodbye to Ms. Lin and entered the ninth level.

The ninth level is a bamboo forest.

The surrounding area is full of lush green beads, which make tinkling sounds in the breeze, which is quite interesting.

However, Yun Shang continued to move forward. After walking for more than two hours, she arrived at the center of the bamboo forest. In the center of the bamboo forest, a black bear more than three meters tall was lying on the ground, like a small hill.

Snore!

The black bear is snoring.

Yun Shang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when she saw this scene.

The defender of this floor is really stupid.

"Hey, don't sleep."

Yun Shang shouted loudly.

The black bear was still snoring happily, with no intention of waking up.

After hesitating for a moment, Yun Shang stretched out her hand, and her magic power surged out, forming a pair of big hands, which directly grabbed the green bamboos around her and pulled out more than a dozen of them.

"Hmm? This bamboo is so hard."

Yun Shang was a little confused for a moment.

Yun Shang's magic power condensed into a pair of big hands. Although she didn't use her full strength, it was not a problem to easily pull out ordinary spiritual bamboos, even those of the fifth or sixth level. However, this bamboo was very strong.

She raised her eyebrows and raised Hanyue sword, the powerful sword intents surged. Then she slashed the center of the bamboo and half of the bamboo broke.

Holding the bamboo, Yun Shang's giant magical hand scratched it.

Black bears are also bears.

The black bear felt itchy all over after being tickled. He started to flutter her body and soon got up.

"Hey, here comes another little guy."

The black bear's voice was buzzing, and its eyes as big as copper bells stared at Yun Shang.

Yun Shang was being stared at by the black bear, and instantly felt a huge pressure emerging.

The Black Bear was at the Spiritual Transformation Stage, and had condensed the Body Refining Divine Power. Even though her bloodline was not strong, her strength was not weak at all.

Bloodline can only help monsters to better comprehend the great Dao and condense their magical powers.

However, the strength of a monster depends on the monster itself. It is the same as humans. Even if you are not talented, you can still become a strong person.

For example, this black bear is extremely powerful.

The ninth level is a demon beast at the level of god transformation. How do we defeat it?

Yun Shang even had the urge to turn around and leave.

But since the other people in front were able to get through, there should be a way.
