My Augmented Statuses Have Unlimited Duration
Chapter 198: Demonic CultivatorAfter the six Earth Vein Spirit Essences combined, they formed an even stronger buff, Earth Spirit Blessing.
Moreover, as soon as this status appeared, the duration behind it was the symbol "∞" that represented infinity.
That was because the duration of the six Earth Vein Spirit Essences was infinite. Without Jiang Li's approval, they could not escape.
Apart from that, Jiang Li had also obtained an incomplete physique type talent, the Earth Spirit Body (Incomplete).
Although Jiang Li had never personally seen a cultivator with physique-related talent, they were all existences that were well known.
There were rumors that cultivators with special physiques were true geniuses.
For example, the 'Connate Dao Body' that often appeared in the legends cultivated at an astonishing speed. Raising one's cultivation realm was as simple as eating and drinking.
They could learn spell techniques and secret techniques with a single glance. Weapons and movement techniques could also be mastered with one use.
These were geniuses who had never thought of becoming friends with ordinary people.
Countless low-level cultivators dreamed that one day, when they woke up, they would suddenly gain such unparalleled talent. Afterwards, they would overcome and slaughter everything in their path to supremacy.
Unfortunately, the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region was still a little too small. Up until now, there had not been many geniuses of this level, and there was not a single disciple of such talent in this generation.
However, he did not expect that before he met such a genius, he would obtain a physique-type talent himself. Although it was obtained postnatally and was still incomplete, it was still the symbol of a genius.
After having this physique, his strength did not increase, his speed did not increase, and his spiritual qi did not become stronger.
The only change was that there was something extra in his perception.
Now, he could vaguely sense that there was a heavy force slowly flowing everywhere under the surrounding walls and ground.
This was the power of the earth vein?
A moment later, Jiang Li opened his eyes and revealed a satisfied expression.
After obtaining this physique, the pagoda spirit in front of him had already been fully condensed in his eyes. He was no different from a real person.
The joy on his face that he could not suppress seemed to be even happier than Jiang Li himself.
"Kid, do you feel it?"
"Even the Shu Mountain disciples have never obtained this power."
Jiang Li did not know if the other party was telling the truth. It was indeed difficult for Shu Mountain disciples to obtain these six portions of Spirit Essence, but it should not be difficult for those Shu Mountain elders to gather all nine portions.
Was it because they could not obtain such a physique after Foundation Establishment, or was it because the Earth Spirit was unwilling to give them the blessing?
Jiang Li smiled as well, and he cupped his hands in thanks.
"Thank you for your help, Senior Demon Subduing. This junior is extremely grateful."
"However, I feel that this power seems to be incomplete."
Jiang Li mimicked the white-clothed elder and reached out to press on the head-like pagoda monument.
Immediately, he could clearly feel the endless power inside. It was as if the majestic Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak was standing in front of him.
However, while he could clearly sense it, he could not see it, much less touch it. This should be because the Earth Spirit Body was still incomplete and could not unleash its true power.
"However, I'm afraid I can only stop here. The level below is definitely even more dangerous. I'm only at the Qi Refinement realm. I'm really helpless against it."
As Jiang Li spoke, he acted as if he was about to give up, but the Demon Subduing Pagoda Spirit opposite him was displeased.
"Little friend Jiang Li, the path to immortality is a struggle. How can you be afraid and not advance at such a young age? Listen to me. Don't give up too early. I'm still here."
"Although the pagoda level below is dangerous, it's not impossible. Watch my methods."
The white-haired elder slapped the pagoda monument again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA stream of energy that was barely visible to the naked eye sprayed out from within. This energy was light like a thin veil, and it was heavy like magma. Under the control of the Demon Subduing Pagoda Spirit, it enveloped Jiang Li's body evenly.
This thin layer of earth vein power covered Jiang Li's body and did not bring him any new status effects.
In the outside world, this layer of earth vein power was almost useless.
However, when placed in the Demon Subduing Pagoda, which was filled with the earth vein power of the Five Elements Peak, it formed a similar frequency with the energy in the pagoda.
This thin layer of energy veil completely concealed his aura. Of course, this was only concealing his aura and did not have the effect of invisibility.
"Try it over there."
The old pagoda spirit looked a little tired after using this method, but he still revealed a smile. He stroked his beard and let Jiang Li walk out of the safety area of the pagoda monument.
Jiang Li did as he was told and left the area covered by the energy of the pagoda monument. The oppressive and baneful aura in the environment affected his body once more.
However, when the heavy pressure touched the earth vein power in his body, it was inexplicably absorbed by nearly half. Then, in a strange manner, it moved to the ground around him and finally disappeared.
Jiang Li's eyes lit up.
This was a good ability, but it seemed to only be used in the Demon Subduing Pagoda. It had to be compatible with the power of the earth vein in order to be effective.
Jiang Li silently memorized the rough method to use the earth vein power. His face revealed a joyous expression as he thanked the white-haired pagoda spirit again.
The Five Elements Stone Slate on the seventh level was slowly opened. He took a deep breath and jumped down.
However, when he focused his mind and prepared to receive the impact of the baneful aura, he discovered something shocking!
The baneful aura pressure that surged up from the seventh level was not any higher than the sixth, but instead decreased greatly.
With a light step, Jiang Li landed silently.
Although the air environment was still ordinary, there was no longer the strange smell of the various demons.
"What's going on?"
Jiang Li was slightly surprised and looked at the Demon Subduing Pagoda Spirit.
The other party's expression was serious, telling him not to lower his guard.
"Calmness is not equivalent to safety. Little friend, you have to be careful."
"Ignore everything later. Don't believe anything. Just be careful and pass."
"I understand."
Jiang Li did not refute. There was no convenient secret passage on this level. After taking a deep breath, he lightly flew into the cell area.
What he saw made him understand the situation.
This was because there were not demon beasts locked up on this level, but hundreds of human cultivators!
Cultivators were different from demon beasts.
Demon beasts lived in chaotic and dangerous wilderness their entire lives. That place was disorderly and filled with enemies. As long as one was not careful, they might be attacked and die on the spot.
Therefore, the harsh environment created the instinct to be vigilant.
Most demon beasts rarely slept. They constantly emitted their aura and smell, showing all the surrounding creatures that they had occupied the territory.
Once a creature that could pose a threat entered their territory, they would not hesitate to attack and use their claws and fangs to determine the winner.
However, human cultivators who had formed the cultivation system would not be like this. They were more rational and knew how to play dirty. It was often the best effect.
Naturally, they would not be like the demons, crazily releasing their aura at all times to display their status.
Other than exposing themselves, it would not have any positive effects.
Therefore, it was precisely because of this that the pressure in the seventh level was even lower.
Jiang Li glanced at the sign on the prison door.
Wu Tong, titled the Rolling River Python, was a Core Formation realm True Core stage cultivator and the leader of the Red Water Seven Monsters.
Jiang Li knew of such cultivators. They usually resided in a certain area and killed cultivators that came and went in order to obtain benefits. In the past, Jiang Li had personally encountered three similar fellows.
Then, there was the Skin Flayer Wang Zheng, a Core Formation realm True Core stage cultivator…
Dream Slaughter Ghost Maiden, Core Formation realm Golden Core stage cultivator…
On these iron tablets, only the names, cultivation levels, and rough origins of the people imprisoned were written.
As for their crimes, there were too many to count.
It turned out that in this Demon Subduing Pagoda, other than imprisoning the demons, there were also so many high-level demonic cultivators locked up.
None of these demonic cultivators were weak.
Although they were locked up, this did not mean that they were not dangerous. On the contrary, cultivators had more methods and were more cunning.
Even if they were heavily bound, it was very easy for him to fall for their trap.
It was precisely because they were more dangerous than the demons that they were imprisoned in the seventh level.
Presumably, Shu Mountain would not allow their disciples to come here easily. Cultivators at the Qi Refinement realm and even the Foundation Establishment realm were not mentally strong enough. If they came to this sinful place and were swayed by this group of demonic cultivators, it would be troublesome.
He had to leave quickly. If the Shu Mountain Elder discovered that he had arrived on the seventh level, someone would definitely come down to investigate and bring him out.
Before that, he had to gather as much Earth Vein Spirit Essence as possible.
"Hey, kid, let me out and I'll take you in as my disciple. I'll teach you a peerless cultivation method that's enough to dominate the cultivation world!"
At this moment, a voice sounded out from the prison beside him. Jiang Li acted as if he did not hear it. As a disciple of the Scripture Storage Valley, he did not lack cultivation methods the most.
Moreover, dominating the cultivation world did not rely only on cultivation methods. No matter how strong a cultivation method was, it was useless if he could not cultivate it.
"Kid, don't leave yet. I still have a thousand high-grade spirit stones hidden outside. How about it? As long as you pull out the nail on my head, I'll tell you where the spirit stones are."
Jiang Li still ignored him, but that person did not give up.
"Hey kid, aren't you tempted by an Earth-rank artifact?"
Earth-rank artifact? Jiang Li's footsteps finally stopped, and he glanced at the iron token on the door.
Black Blood Green Bat was a Core Formation realm Golden Core stage cultivator and an elder of the Corrupted Blood Cult.
The Corrupted Blood Cult?
A strange expression flashed across Jiang Li's eyes. He knew this sect.
When he was in the Outer Sect Cultivation Hall, this demonic cultivator sect was a classic negative example used in lessons.
The time when it was established was similar to the Scripture Storage Valley. More than 200 years ago, it acted very arrogantly.
Due to their abnormally rapid advancement in demonic arts, more and more cultivators joined them. At that time, they occupied a piece of land in the west and their forces were directly comparable to top sects.
However, in order to cultivate the demonic technique, they needed to suck human blood every day to assist in their cultivation. As their scale grew larger and larger, the scene of corpses everywhere was insufficient to describe it.
Later on, they finally attracted the displeasure of the other cultivators. In the end, they were annihilated under the warship of the Scripture Storage Valley and became a stepping stone for the Scripture Storage Valley to become the Great Mountain Region's top four sects.
Even now, in the Scripture Storage Valley, there was a large number of demonic cultivation methods that were seized from them.
He did not expect that there would be some who escaped and were captured by Shu Mountain until now.
Jiang Li could not help but look at the person inside.
Black Blood Green Bat also raised his head to look at Jiang Li.
His hair, which had not been tidied for 200 years, fell messily, covering his face, making it difficult to see clearly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJiang Li could only see a long pitch-black nail nailed deeply into his forehead.
The pair of eyes hidden under the messy hair looked straight at Jiang Li.
At the beginning, it was fine, but after he saw the word 'Storage' on Jiang Li's chest, his expression shook, and then his dry mouth slowly opened, revealing a mouthful of pitch-black teeth that were sharp like needles.
"Someone from the Scripture Storage Valley? Hehe, how lucky!"
Swoosh!
Black Blood Green Bat did not care about the deal that was proposed earlier. After he noticed that this was a disciple of the Scripture Storage Valley, killing intent that was like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood surged towards Jiang Li.
The smell of blood contained the wails of countless innocent people.
When it arrived before Jiang Li, the earth vein power activated, and it directly ground away a portion of the killing intent before vanishing.
After that, there were three more defenses. The Sword Heart, Dragon Blood, and Golden Core Dao Heart broke through the force and finally, only a light breeze blew on the Nine Nether Wood at the core of his mind.
However, even the lingering killing intent carried by the light wind made Jiang Li's body shake uncontrollably.
Fortunately, he was only at the Golden Core Realm, and the long nail on his forehead greatly limited his strength, so it did not cause any obvious harm to Jiang Li.
However, this also riled up the other prisoners.
The other prisoners in the cell area seemed to have been stimulated as well. They released their auras and killing intent, causing the temperature in this area to plummet.
At this moment, the effect of the earth vein power was revealed.
The thin veil covered his aura, making it difficult for others to sense him. This meant that most of the hundreds of demonic cultivators did not know his exact location. Only a few cultivators who could directly see him before he walked past the cell could attack him accurately.
As such, the pressure on him decreased greatly. Withstanding wave after wave of dense killing intent, Jiang Li's footsteps slowly floated forward, and the scene before his eyes had already started to show slight distortions.
A large amount of negative emotions surged into his consciousness, forming dark clouds in the sky above his mental world. They began to flash with blood-red lightning and rain.
After spending quite a bit of time, he finally passed the cell area. His mental world was already like the ruins after a storm.
These were negative emotions and mental pollution that high-level cultivators used to disgust people. They could easily torture a Qi Refinement realm disciple until he went crazy.
Even Foundation Establishment cultivators would have to spend ten years to slowly recover.
Even Jiang Li would need five seconds to clear this thing from his mind.
Looking at the additional negative status on the interface, Jiang Li was about to delete it.
Suddenly, his Blood Light Sword, Asura Sword Heart, suddenly darted out and swam around his mental world, absorbing the black water stains that scattered on the ground in circles.
These negative emotions seemed to be nutrients that could develop the Asura Sword Heart. In this way, Jiang Li was not in a hurry to eliminate them.
On the seventh level, there was a floating stone ball as the pagoda monument.
As a new Earth Vein Spirit Essence entered, Jiang Li also knew that it was an eyeball.
Jiang Li decisively made the [Earth Vein Spirit Essence (Left Eye)] last indefinitely. This Spirit Essence then fused into the stone person in his Qi Sea.
An eyeball appeared in the stone person's empty eye socket.
Closing his right eye and only using his left eye, Jiang Li happily discovered that he could already vaguely see the earth vein energy.
His Earth Spirit Body was gradually becoming complete.
This time, Jiang Li did not hesitate and directly chose to strike while the iron was hot.
After the old man opened the Five Elements Formation Disk, he directly jumped in.
The number of demonic cultivators on this level decreased drastically. There were only five people here.
However, this level of the Demon Subduing Pagoda was the most dangerous because these five people were all Nascent Soul cultivators on the same level as his master, Elder He!
There was no signboard for introduction on their prison doors. It was unknown how Shu Mountain had captured them.
When Jiang Li passed through the cell on this level, it was simply like holding onto a dilapidated wooden plank against the torrential waves in a storm.
He summoned his Nine Nether clone over and let the Nine Nether clone with a Golden Core cultivation stand in front of him. He held onto the ancient tree and endured the violent storm and impact…
The sword cultivator clone that had been recreated helped Jiang Li's main body move forward with difficulty.
As for the newly created third Parallel Mind, which was still in a blank state, it raised its fearless dedication and silently endured most of the pollution that invaded the Sea of Consciousness.
