Killing God - Chapter 211
Chapter 211 Carved Armor
Haizhou was the largest continent in the southern part of the Primordial Chaos Continent. Its territory was extremely large, and it was also filled with cultivators with spiritual veins. There were many large cities, and it was also the most prosperous in the south. So a few years ago, The Divine Immortal Guild that had imitated the teleportation array saw business opportunities in it. Two more teleportation formations were constructed within the Haizhou Boundary, One was Anqiu City in the northwest of Haizhou, the other was Gaoling City in the northeast of Haizhou. It was in a triangular confrontation with Liuyun City, the largest city in the south of Haizhou. It also made it easier and faster for countless cultivators to travel in the vast Haizhou. Of course, the spirit crystals that the immortals would earn were also soft.
As the name implied, Gaoling City knew that this large city was not far from the famous Gaoling Mountain Range. In fact, the city was located at the foot of the Gaoling Mountain Range. However, Mount Gaoling was a very large mountain range that stretched for tens of thousands of kilometers. It was said that the legendary tomb was quite far away from this city and was somewhere in the depths of the mountain range.
Over the years, because Gaoling Mountain was rich in spiritual materials, attracting many cultivators from far and near, Gaoling City had also become a prosperous city. In recent days, the number of cultivators in Gaoling City seemed to have increased by quite a bit. Occasionally, one could even see some strangely dressed foreign cultivators coming from afar.
When he walked out of the teleportation array, Shen Shi, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, did not attract anyone’s attention. He calmly walked into the crowd. There were countless cultivators like him who looked like they wanted to try their luck here in Gaoling City.
However, although his expression was calm, his thoughts were still in his mind. Although he was a little surprised by why the Hou Clan didn’t use the teleportation array earlier and would rather use the Immortal Ark at great expense, when he came to Gaoling City, he finally understood a bit.
Now that there were many cultivators in Gaoling City, Coupled with the news of the appearance of the tomb, countless rogue cultivators and sect disciples had flocked over. If the Hou Clan really knew some secret information, they might attract others to spy on them. It would be better to use the Immortal Ark from the very beginning to the depths of the mountain range, and the chances of being discovered would be much lower.
However, the idea of finding them and trying to take advantage of them became even more unlikely.
Shaking his head, Shen Shi sighed softly in his heart. He couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful about his trip to Gaoling Mountain. However, since he had already come, he should just take a look. At worst, he would carry him into the mountain to search around. Perhaps he would have some opportunities to find some spirit herbs and other spirit materials.
After subconsciously lowering his goal for this trip, Shen Shi regained his spirits. Looking at the sky and the pedestrians on the streets, it seemed that they were all cultivators, as if they had seen more of them than they had in Floating Cloud City. They couldn’t help but be secretly speechless. They thought that this kind of legend of treasures with a bit of illusion was still the most attractive to cultivators in this world. Even though they knew that their chances were slim, everyone still flocked to it.
Shen Shi strolled around the streets. He thought of finding an inn to stay at first and rest. Unexpectedly, he found several inns in succession. Only then did he discover that all the inns in Gaoling City facing cultivators were already full. There were no rooms at all. The bosses and clerks of each family were all smiling from ear to ear, politely and apologetically sending him out.
Shen Shi was also helpless. However, seeing that a few cultivators with similar experiences would appear from time to time, his mood wasn’t too bad. He laughed bitterly at himself and went outside the city. He found a secluded forest and hid on a big tree, just like what he used to do in the Demon Realm.
The dense leaves covered his figure. As the sky gradually darkened, it was difficult for ordinary people to discover his figure. Except for the occasional black figure on the tree who would mutter a few times, it was the Little Hei Pig’s somewhat grumbling expression.
The surroundings were quiet. Shen Shi sat quietly on the big tree and looked at the night sky through the gaps between the branches and leaves. There were a few stars shining there, as if they were staring into the eyes of the human world.
Shen Shi was about to enter the mountain tomorrow. He touched his Ruyi bag. Through his Spiritual Energy, he could feel the black scrolls of the two Yin Yang Curses lying quietly in a corner of the Ruyi bag. His heart trembled slightly. It could be said that if it weren’t for the Yin Yang Curse, he would never have come to Gaoling Mountain to join the fun. However, it seemed that even if he had come, his chances were still slim.
He remained silent for a long time and pondered for a while. He couldn’t figure out what other path he had to take apart from going out to try his luck in the mountains. What was obvious was that the gathering of cultivators and clouds in the mountain must be accompanied by many unknown risks.
No matter how much he thought about it, it seemed that in the end, it was all his fault for being too low in cultivation.
Shen Shi curled his lips and casually took out a Spirit Crystal. He played with it for a moment, but then he seemed to hesitate. In the end, he shook his head and kept the Spirit Crystal. At this moment, he was not in his own cave on Golden Rainbow Mountain. Even though this tree looked quite safe, if he really wanted to cultivate in peace, it would still be quite risky. Therefore, after considering it, Shen Shi gave up on his daily cultivation lessons.
However, he couldn’t draw spirit into his body, but it was still possible to guide the spirit energy in his body to cultivate the divine passageway technique.
The Little Hei pig was lying in a tree nest not far from him. Its skin was rough and fleshy, and it did not seem to feel the slightest bit at ease. It looked at Shen Shi occasionally and lay there most of the time. Not long after, its breathing started to sound steady and long, as if it was asleep.
Shen Shi took a deep breath and sat down cross-legged. He observed the newly opened Qi Sea Dantian within his body with his divine sense. He saw that the clouds within were vast and silky, but they were almost settled in the lower part of the Qi Sea. In general, they were only about one fifth of the volume of the entire Qi Sea.
This cloud energy was the spiritual energy that Shen Shi had absorbed into his body since he started cultivating. Of course, this was the portion of spiritual energy that he normally absorbed into his body. As for the Spiritual Energy he could obtain after cultivating the Heart Cleansing Curse in the future, it was all gathered in a mysterious acupoint between his eyebrows for some strange and unknown reason.
Shen Shi silently observed his Qi Sea Dantian. He suddenly felt that this place was extremely important to cultivators. It seemed to be somewhat similar to the situation between his eyebrows. It was just that the difference between heaven and earth was great. However, from another angle, it seemed that the degree of condensation of spiritual energy in his Eyebrow Heart Aperture was far greater than the spiritual energy in his Dantian Qi Sea.
Perhaps this was the reason why he was able to cast the Five Elements Technique so quickly when he was in the Qi Refining Realm?
Shen Shi thought silently in his heart. After pondering for a moment, he let out a light breath. His divine sense sank. In a moment, the clouds gathered by the spiritual energy in his qi sea began to slowly flow from a calm state.
The slightest bit of it floated about. It was as if an invisible wind blew across the distant sea, causing fine ripples in the sea of clouds. Layers after layer, it gently floated. In the depths of the clouds, it slowly outlined a rough, blurry, yet faintly shining with a dark golden luster of armor.
Golden Stone Armor.
The direct disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect were one of the seventeen basic cultivation techniques. Their defenses were extremely strong. Legend has it that once they reached the Great Perfection Realm, their entire body would be covered in armor and they would be indestructible. They would be able to withstand a full-force attack from a peak Origin Condensation Realm opponent. However, Shen Shi had never seen the effects of saying this before.
As he concentrated on circulating the Golden Stone Armor Technique and slowly condensed the dark golden gaseous armor in his Qi Sea, a faint light suddenly flashed across his body in the darkness, bringing with it a little golden radiance that was emitted from his fleshly skin.
Shen Shi quietly circulated his cultivation technique and cultivated, As time went by, The dark golden armor clouds in his dantian qi sea, It gradually became clear, and correspondingly, the golden luster outside his body seemed to shine a little. From afar, it seemed as if he was wearing an illusory halo armor. Although the brilliance was extremely fragile, it would scatter in all directions if he lightly touched it.
Within the Qi Sea, The sea of clouds formed from spiritual energy slowly flowed. The Dark Gold Armor was surrounded by a pair of invisible sculpting hands. They were patiently and persistently carving this armor that was still extremely rough. However, this path still looked long and far away. At least at this moment, the only place where one could barely see the clear armor was the one on his chest.
Outside of Shen Shi’s body, the faint golden light floated and sank. It was also on his chest, and that light seemed to be brighter than other places.
In less than an hour, the clouds in the Qi Sea suddenly stopped. Then, it scattered like a tornado. The armor instantly dissipated, turning into clouds that were no different from the surrounding clouds and disappearing.
Shen Shi snorted and his body trembled slightly. Only then did he open his eyes. Almost at the same time, the faint light on his body, especially at his heart, also dissipated.
Cultivating a Dao Art divine ability was never a simple matter. Shen Shi had already made sufficient mental preparations for this. A Dao Art divine ability like the Golden Stone Armor naturally had a life-saving effect. However, if he wanted to successfully cultivate it, he still needed many days of diligent cultivation and refinement.
The legend of ascending to the heavens in a single step probably only appeared when he was searching for the treasures in the tomb of Mount Gaoling. However, Shen Shi smiled bitterly and thought to himself, “Isn’t he also a member of the treasure hunting army at this moment?”
After cultivating, he was still somewhat exhausted. He leaned against the tree trunk and relaxed. Ever since he obtained the Golden Stone Armor Technique, he had never relaxed his cultivation of such a technique. From childhood until now, he had long been accustomed to such a down-to-earth method of relying on his own diligence to obtain harvests step by step.
Today’s cultivation, The armor phantom in the Qi Sea was clearly clearer than it had been a few days ago. Especially on the chest, It was even the first time that a clear piece of armor appeared. This meant that he had begun to make some progress in cultivating this technique. Although he was still far from cultivating Little Chengdu, if he used such a technique in a hurry, at least in this small area of his chest, his skin would be harder than that of an ordinary cultivator.
It’s just a bit stronger, but if we continue cultivating in the future, there should be a day when our entire body will be indestructible, right?
Before Shen Shi fell asleep, he thought in his heart, when he woke up this morning, it was time to head to the mountain range.
