In the end, the essence blood of Bo Yici was completely absorbed by the Sword Spirit, turning into a dried corpse, and the absorbed sword light of the Purple Mansion Immortal's essence blood beca entirely crimson, emitting a blood-red glow, resembling a Demon Sword.
At the sa ti, the Sword Spirit let out a sharp scream, and the sword light suddenly exploded, blasting Bo Yici's dried corpse into ashes from inside out.
Within the depths of the sword light, the figure that had been dormant, Zhao Xiaorou, began to grow larger. Wang Xiaoqiang stared at the continuously enlarging Zhao Xiaorou in the sword light, filled with excitent and anticipation, thinking the Sword Spirit was about to separate.
However, when Zhao Xiaorou's figure grew to a certain extent, it suddenly beca motionless and stopped screaming. At this point, the myriad sword light gathered like a long whale sucking water.
As the sword light gathered, Zhao Xiaorou's figure also shrank, eventually retreating into the sword body along with the sword light, followed by a regretful sigh from inside the sword body.
"What's happening? Zhao Xiaorou, are you deliberately teasing your brother?" Wang Xiaoqiang, deflated like a punctured ball, felt a wave of lancholy and disappointnt. He extended a move and summoned back the Penglai Immortal Sword, then stared at the Sword Spirit inside the Penglai Immortal Sword.
"Brother, I'm sorry, just a little bit more..."
"How many False Purple Mansions, how many Purple Mansion Immortals already... So much high-quality essence blood, yet none were enough to strengthen you to the Separation Phase...???" Wang Xiaoqiang questioned, feeling a wave of regret as he thought that the essence blood of these Purple Mansion Immortals wasn't just for her to absorb so freely. If given to his Patterned Beasts and Puppets, it could greatly enhance their strength.
"I'm sorry, brother. It's all my fault for being lazy usually, always thinking of relying on essence blood supplents and not thinking about diligent cultivation. That's why I can't separate..." Zhao Xiaorou said weakly, her voice filled with regret and self-bla.
In fact, the cultivation of the Sword Spirit is quite similar to that of cultivators. After solidification, the Sword Spirit can cultivate on its own to strengthen itself. Essence blood only serves as a supplentary aid, like how cultivators rely on pills to aid their cultivation. External aids are important, but self-cultivation remains the main focus.
Because Zhao Xiaorou is young, loves laziness, and doesn't cultivate diligently and rigorously, despite absorbing the essence blood of several False Purple Mansions and several Purple Mansions, she still cannot break through to the Separation Phase.
Wang Xiaoqiang stared at Zhao Xiaorou's small figure inside the sword body and her pitiful little face and sighed, "Alright, alright, you're young, and it's understandable to be lazy. But honestly, from now on, you must pay attention to your cultivation, because your growth is directly related to my safety and survival. If today I were battling against not one but two Purple Mansion Immortals, and if you couldn't grow stronger at this ti, I might have been defeated or even killed."
"Brother, Xiaorou realizes her mistake. From today on, Xiaorou will cultivate nonstop..." Zhao Xiaorou promised.
"Brother, rest assured. Those essence blood from the False Purple Mansions and Purple Mansions won't be absorbed for nothing. Once Xiaorou reaches the Separation Phase, her strength will have a qualitative leap, multiple tis stronger than during the Solidification Phase..."
"Uh..." Wang Xiaoqiang paused, then showed expectation and joy, saying, "Xiaorou, don't deceive your brother, otherwise once you separate from the sword body, brother will give you a good spanking..."
"Brother, spanking...? Is it whipping Xiaorou with a whip?" Zhao Xiaorou's pretty face blushed slightly, her watery eyes sowhat flickering.
"It's more powerful than a whip. You'll know by then. Haha..." Wang Xiaoqiang laughed, his smile sowhat mischievous.
Zhao Xiaorou felt her brother was sowhat lewd. Though young, she had complicated experiences and was sowhat knowledgeable about human affairs. Her cleverness roughly guessed Wang Xiaoqiang's mischievous thoughts, her pretty face reddening even more, she glared at Wang Xiaoqiang, "Brother is so naughty."
Saying so, her small body swayed and beca a cloud of mist, settling down inside the sword body.
Wang Xiaoqiang stopped smiling, moved his willpower, and stored the Penglai Immortal Sword into the Suru Ring. His gaze swept around and spotted the Patterned Beast squatting nearby, looking upward at the watchtower, a trace of greed showing in its eyes.
Wang Xiaoqiang knew it longed to devour the pet beast corpse of Bo Yici, so he moved his will and allowed it.
The Patterned Beast, obtaining its master's permission, let out a joyful roar, soared up, and flew to the tower, devouring the tiger-headed snake-bodied pet beast.
This pet beast was a Divine Beast, its at and blood of excellent quality, very powerful. After devouring it, the Patterned Beast's strength also improved.
After a satisfied burp, the Patterned Beast turned into a phantom and returned to Wang Xiaoqiang's body, becoming a tattoo. The master and pet's cultivation strength rises and falls together, closely connected, after attaching itself to Wang Xiaoqiang, his strength increased slightly.
Wang Xiaoqiang's mouth drew a smile, then released half of his Spiritual Spring inside, disguising as a Daluo Golden Immortal Fifth Liquid Realm, before returning to his own main hall, ordering Ding Chunqiu to send people to repair the destroyed watchtower.
No one witnessed Wang Xiaoqiang defeating Bo Yici, and Ding Chunqiu kept the news sealed. Therefore, this matter remained unresolved, and Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation as a Great Luo Golden Immortal of the Eighth Liquid Realm remained secret, known only to himself.
For the next four months, Wang Xiaoqiang continued cultivating in the dium-sized Spirit Gathering Array core, which was also his living quarters in the main hall. But for safety, he released the Patterned Beast to protect him.
The cultivation path becos increasingly difficult as one ascends. Moving from Great Luo Golden Immortal Eighth Liquid Realm to Great Luo Golden Immortal Ninth Liquid Realm is ever more challenging.
Back then, advancing from the Great Luo Golden Immortal Seventh Liquid Realm to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Eighth Liquid Realm took Wang Xiaoqiang three months, and moving from the Eighth to the Ninth Liquid Realm took him four months but he hasn't broken through yet.
It seems he needs another two months.
Wang Xiaoqiang was getting anxious; he ca to the Biluo Realm intending to obtain an Immortal Pill to prolong his elderly parents' lives. Now it's almost three years since he ca to the Biluo Realm, and his parents on Earth are already over sixty.
The saying goes that at sixty, one knows their destiny; this so-called destiny ans old age, reaching the sixtieth year, implying their remaining days are limited. Even if not dead due to illness, they could die at any ti of natural causes.
And to obtain an Immortal Pill, one must achieve the rank of True Immortal of Myriad Phases before being eligible, but he is not even a Purple Mansion Immortal, far from obtaining an Immortal Pill, so ti is of the essence and cannot be wasted.
At this point, Wang Xiaoqiang thought of the Spirit Gathering Array Formation Secret Art.
Back when he was cultivating in the large Spirit Gathering Array core of Biluo Heavenly Emperor, in one day's ti, he advanced by one level, clearly showing that a large Spirit Gathering Array is far superior to a dium-sized one. So if he can now arrange a large Spirit Gathering Array, the speed of cultivation and upgrading would greatly increase. (To be continued.
