Chapter 459: The breakthrough before the battle - the ninth floor of the foundation
This hunt is different from any previous battle between monks and sea beasts. This is a battle that involves the living space of all monks in the overseas cultivation world.
The only relationship between the two sides is life and death, victory or defeat. Unless the core treasure that caused this wave of sea beasts can be completely destroyed, there is absolutely no reason to retreat. This is a true fight to the death, whether it is sea beasts or monks.
, the only outcome other than victory is death.
In this battle, the foundation-building monks who originally had some status in the world of cultivation have been reduced to the most basic cannon fodder and belong to the first wave of existences.
If you show too much brilliance in the battle, it will easily attract the attention of the third-level sea beasts, and you will deliberately shirk the blame. Once you fall into the eyes of the leader of the Spirit Island Alliance, it is not impossible to rectify the law on the spot. For a monk in the foundation building stage.
It is not easy to grasp the extent of this.
In such large-scale battles, not to mention the foundation-building monks, it is quite common for the golden elixir ancestors who are used to suppress one party to fall, even if the dragon usually disappears.
If it were another type of battle, most of the monks present would definitely not be willing to risk their lives, but unfortunately they had no choice now.
The cruelty of the battle has not yet begun, but the atmosphere on the large spiritual ship has already begun to become serious. All the monks are seizing the last moment to rest, either sorting and polishing spiritual weapons, or sitting cross-legged to adjust their breath.
Of course, danger and opportunity are equal. According to the news from the Spirit Island Alliance, the core of this sea beast tide is on a comprehensive spirit island that covers an area of large.
The so-called comprehensive spiritual island refers to a spiritual island that has a third-order mid-grade or above spiritual vein and a second-order mid-grade or above spiritual vein. Its situation is completely different from that of a normal spiritual island.
Moreover, the spiritual islands that can serve as the core of the sea beast tide are generally newly born spiritual islands. The number and variety of spiritual herbs, spiritual materials and other treasures carried on them can be imagined.
Some of these spiritual herbs may have been lost thousands of years ago, and similar situations are especially common for some genius treasures that break bottlenecks.
A similar comprehensive spiritual island will appear every ten thousand years or so. For example, the location of the headquarters of the Spirit Island Alliance is also where many monks have their chance.
Perhaps it was due to various reasons that many of the foundation-building monks, including Zhao Shoushou, went there without flinching despite knowing the danger.
After all, for most monks in the late stage of foundation building, if there are not enough opportunities, there may be no chance to take a step forward in this life.
"Wealth can be found in danger. As long as this trip goes well, perhaps by the time we return, Zhao will have successfully condensed the golden elixir." Zhao Shoushou, sitting cross-legged in the corner of the spirit ship without attracting attention, murmured to himself.
Then he took out a spiritual elixir from a jade bottle and drank it. It was the very few remaining second-grade top-grade source-gathering elixir presented by Huayu Lingdao.
After realizing the dangers and opportunities of this trip, Zhao Shoushou's only thought was to improve his cultivation as soon as possible. The elixirs he had painstakingly accumulated in his storage bag continued to disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye.
With the assistance of sufficient spiritual elixirs, the effect is naturally extraordinary, and he can feel the improvement in his cultivation almost all the time.
Before setting off, through his continuous efforts, he had reached the peak level of the eighth level of foundation building. He was only one thin bottleneck away from being able to advance to the ninth level of foundation building and became the monk closest to the golden elixir.
What Zhao Shoushou is more concerned about is that each point of improvement in strength can increase his chances of saving his life in the upcoming hunting battle.
Once he encounters some truly strong men in a battle to hunt sea beasts, what he needs is not to defeat them, but to run faster.
This is also the difference between the late stage of foundation building and the early and middle stages. What really matters here is the accumulation of spiritual power. As long as the quantity and quality of the mana in the Dantian meet the requirements, the promotion of cultivation will be a matter of course.
For monks in the late stage of foundation building, the most difficult thing is always the collection of spiritual power. The difficulty can be understood from the fact that Zhao Shoushou tried his best and could still only get a few spiritual pills.
The high-speed sailing of the spirit ship lasted for about a month. As Zhao Shoushou and his party got closer and closer to their destination, the spiritual energy around them became more abundant and rich. The originally dim hull was nourished by the spiritual energy.
Underneath, everything looks crystal clear.
"The destination is about to be reached, and the demonic clouds are visible to the naked eye. Take teams as a unit and wait for the mission to be issued in their respective correction areas." Before he finished speaking, the early Jindan cultivator who had been sitting cross-legged on the bow of the ship started to wander.
Disappeared in front of everyone.
At this time, Zhao Shoushou and others had just woken up from the scene in front of them. The monks present had the lowest cultivation level and were in the early stages of foundation building. They had hunted a lot of sea beasts along the way, and they had also broken into large and small sea beast lairs.
They have also lost their shit when being chased by sea beasts, and each of them can be said to be well-informed.
However, past experience seems to have lost its due role here. In the distance, above a complex spiritual island covering a large area, it should have been a place with abundant spiritual power and beautiful environment. However, at this time, it was under the impact of demonic energy.
It seemed to be in disarray.
A large number of pillars of demonic energy swarmed up, almost completely dispersing the spiritual power in the sky. A large number of demonic auras formed various ferocious shapes of sea beasts in the air, sometimes wandering in the air, sometimes glaring with anger, when the monks arrived.
Sometimes, these sea beasts almost bite people.
Although the monks present had been mentally prepared to a certain extent, they were still somewhat unexpected when faced with such a terrifying situation.
"This trip is more difficult than someone imagined. With such a large-scale evil spirit, there must be a lot of high-level sea beasts in it. I don't know how many monks can survive, but for Zhao,
, but it can be regarded as a rare experience and opportunity." After Zhao Shoushou woke up from it, he looked very ambitious.
"Kacha" seemed to be inspired by the improvement of his state of mind. The little shackles of the monks that originally existed in the Dantian disappeared without a trace at this moment, like an egg with a broken shell, breaking apart bit by bit,
Zhao Shoushou's aura also rapidly improved at this moment.
Although this display of momentum quickly disappeared without a trace, it still inevitably attracted the attention of some interested people, especially those on the ninth floor of the foundation.
As the pinnacle of the foundation stage, the cultivation level closest to the golden elixir, once promoted successfully, in addition to the natural improvement in strength, there will naturally be some special magical powers, the most obvious of which is naturally the strength and sensitivity of spiritual consciousness.
There is a significant improvement, especially the changes in the surrounding breath.
"He actually broke through before the hunting battle started. He is an interesting little guy. We can make friends with him in the future."
"No matter what the reason for the improvement in cultivation is, it can be regarded as an extra strength."
