Two Worlds: Demonic Cultivator with His Zombie Materials-Chapter 256 - 143: Three Years of Silent Meditation, Dragon Roar and Tiger Howl (Part 3)

Zheng Yi was advancing to a higher level with the help of the Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Array, while the Ten Thousand Swords Gourd and the Ghost Nurturing Gourd were gradually transforming into the Qiankun Yin Yang Qi Gourd under the tempering of Yin Yang Qi.

Time flowed quietly amidst these silent changes.

...

In the blink of an eye, three years passed.

The entire underground space had only Zheng Yi left. Although it hadn't been exposed to the elements, a thick layer of dust covered the entire area as day after day went by.

Aside from Zheng Yi, no other life forms had set foot here; not a mosquito, fly, or ant.

This was because, at the convergence of yin and yang, the Earth Vein generated Yin Yang Qi that evolved here, and coupled with Zheng Yi's magical power fluctuations, any creature, even the smallest life form, instinctively stayed away.

Moreover, the entire military base was heavily guarded by the Soul Hall, so not even a mosquito could fly in.

For a full three years, Zheng Yi remained motionless, as if he had lost consciousness. His face was gaunt, his clothes mixed with the thick dust, as if coated with a layer of mud, resembling the clay statues of divinities in temples, silent, sitting upright in the Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Array.

If it weren't for the faint breathing and heartbeat, anyone seeing him might think he was dead.

This retreat for cultivation was arguably Zheng Yi's longest in years.

From an aerial perspective, the flames on Zheng Yi's body had reached a bottleneck. The black and white Qi ignited demon fire, turning into a color of chaos, a change not found in the "Black Evil Technique".

Meanwhile, the spiritual light on Zheng Yi's body grew even stronger, with the glow of acupoints inside forming an extremely complex picture.

Counting them carefully, he had opened a total of fifty-two acupoints.

Sitting cross-legged within the Yin Yang Qi, a giant red blood lotus formed beneath him, with petals blooming and the lotus supporting his body, resembling the blood-colored statues of gods in temples, possessing a mysterious and dignified aura.

Behind him, Yin Yang Qi rose and twisted, forming a white tiger and a black dragon, two completely different dharma bodies intertwining like a giant Yin Yang Fish, exuding a natural daoist presence, as if formed by Tai Chi.

This marked the breakthrough in his body refining realm to another level, with Qi and blood surging, fifty-two acupoints opened in his flesh, his body refining degree not inferior to a High Tier of Foundation Establishment Body Refining Cultivator.

This was a significant leap in his physical form. Although not enough to subdue dragons or tigers, compared to ordinary Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators, it was by no means insignificant.

It's important to know that the "Formless Innate Qi Gathering and Scattering Divine Light" technique Zheng Yi cultivated is an exotic sect body refining skill that combines the Talisman and Seal Dao with the method of opening flesh acupoints, building a total of seventy-two acupoints within the body to reach a state of perfection.

This time, Zheng Yi sat in meditation here for three years, using the refining of Yin Yang Qi to open fifty-two acupoints within his body.

Each physical acupoint was infused with Blood Lotus Seeds, using them as seeds and filled with immense Qi Blood Power, establishing a foundation far more stable than the bearded man's before, becoming truly high-tier in body refining.

At the same time, a gigantic Yin Yang Tai Chi Sphere surrounded Zheng Yi, perfectly forming, distinctly separated, with a sense of smoothness.

Whether it's the white dragon spewed by the Ten Thousand Swords Gourd, or the black tiger from the Ghost Nurturing Gourd, their sizes swelled, reaching several times their original size, each over twenty meters long.

Clearly, these two gourds, nurtured by Earth Vein Yin Yang Qi, gradually developed spirituality, shaping into gods within the law, approaching the level of the Qiankun Yin Yang Qi Gourd.

This allowed Zheng Yi's cultivation to advance further, breaking through the bottleneck in one fell swoop, reaching the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

More importantly, Zheng Yi's Divine Soul had skyrocketed, with a strong power of Divine Soul radiating through the area where he was in retreat, like an invisible storm of lightning, constantly raging.

For ordinary people, just stepping into this field, or even approaching slightly, would destabilize their soul, causing their heart spirit to tremble. If struck by the power of the Divine Soul, they might vanish instantly, their bodies perishing along with their dao.

His Divine Soul foundation increased to nearly three hundred eighty zhang. This level was approaching the threshold of a Purple Mansion Cultivator's four hundred zhang Divine Soul fluctuations, even comparable to some innate deficient Purple Mansion Cultivators.

Zheng Yi felt that perhaps with another opportunity, or a burst of foundation, he could break through, his Divine Soul power stepping into the intensity of a Purple Mansion Soul ahead of his own strength.

This time, by leveraging the Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Acupoint, utilizing the life and death array formed by Earth Vein Yin Yang Qi, Zheng Yi's foundation was comprehensively strengthened, with revolutionary changes in his magical treasures, cultivation realm, divine soul strength, and physical strength, akin to a baptism, a transformation as if washing the marrow and changing the muscles.

And this considerable surge was accompanied by a significant increase in his strength.

The augmentation was so great that even Zheng Yi was astonished and trembling with shock.

"Truly, these Yin Yang Acupoints nurtured by heaven and earth are invaluable, but it is difficult to replicate this naturally formed Earth Vein Qi, the work of nature, cultivated over countless years, a fortuitous chance not achievable by human means."

"Otherwise, if I could experience this again, meditate for another three years, I might do nothing and leap to the Realm of Perfection or even directly advance to the Purple Mansion Stage..."

Zheng Yi felt a tinge of reluctance and hesitated to open his eyes. At this moment, he slowly exhaled a breath, and the white airflow swirled around him like a nimble flood dragon.

Feeling the transformation of strength within his body, a golden light shone deep in his pupils, like two divine swords piercing the void, emitting brilliant golden light.

The two sword marks in his pupils remained consolidated, seemingly piercing the air like lightning, leaving two deep marks that would not heal for a long time.

Without a doubt, he underwent an earth-shattering change, with a seemingly unbelievable growth in abilities. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

The main reason was the lifebound treasure Qiankun Yin Yang Qi Gourd he crafted, perfectly matched with the Heaven and Earth Acupoints Yin Yang Acupoints, yielding immense benefits.
