Chapter 1823 The New Body of Ksitigarbha!
Perhaps it was to further win over Chu Xun and others and the Shushan behind them, or perhaps it was to use Chu Xun and others as an example to inspire other Taoist masters, so the Tang Dynasty also gave Chu Xun and others very generous rewards.
For example, the Tianjing City given to Chu Xun, the crystal mine under its ground is a rare rich mine, and the mineral deposits are extremely rich, far beyond the ordinary third-level crystal mines.
And it is precisely because the mineral deposits under this Tianjing City are so rich that the Biyun boy finally chose this place as the place to cultivate the three corpses of the Shiji Niangniang.
After all, it stands to reason that a third-level resource city like Tianjing City with rich mines will generally only be rewarded by the Tang Dynasty to some huge forces, not to individuals. Facing those big forces with rich mines, Biyun boy naturally dare not act rashly, otherwise if he causes trouble for Shiji Niangniang, he will be dead and unforgivable.
However, the situation in Tianjing City is different!
When Biyun Tongzi found out that the crystal mine under Tianjing City was a rich mine, the owner of Tianjing City, Chu Xun and others, were being chased by the Golden Winged Peng Bird, and the backers behind them were beaten to the mountain gate by the Golden Winged Peng Bird and two other big monsters, causing chaos and loss of dignity in Shushan.
In this case, he didn't think that Chu Xun and others or Shushan had the energy to cause trouble for him, so he did not hesitate to take over Tianjing City and use the rich mineral veins under Tianjing City as a place to nurture the three corpses of Shiji Niangniang.
However, it turned out that Biyun Tongzi's judgment was wrong, and he paid the price of his life for it.
On the other hand, after taking Biyun Tongzi and repelling Shiji Niangniang, Chu Xun and others could finally start using the universal magic cube to digest the power in the underground mines and taste this feast.
It must be said that the universal magic cube is indeed a very powerful and practical magic weapon. Especially in terms of devouring and digesting energy, there are few magic weapons that can compare with it.
Under the powerful devouring ability of the Universal Rubik's Cube, the huge underground mineral deposits under Tianjing City were quickly digested, and the huge power contained in the mineral deposits was all devoured by the Universal Rubik's Cube from those crystal mines, leaving only large areas of "waste mines" that became dull like ordinary crystals because of the loss of spiritual energy.
At the same time, after devouring the huge power in the mineral deposits, the breath emitted by the Universal Rubik's Cube became stronger, and the dark golden light it shone became brighter. In front of everyone, it was like a dark golden sun, giving everyone a huge sense of oppression.
"This harvest is really good!"
Feeling the powerful force in the universal cube, Chu Xun's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam of brilliance, then he took a deep breath and said in a concentrated voice: "I roughly felt that the power extracted from the mine by this universal cube is at least equivalent to my current thousand years of hard practice. In this way, even if these powers are evenly distributed among all of us, it is enough to take our cultivation and strength to a higher level!"
"So much?!"
Hearing Chu Xun's words, everyone present was also surprised, and then surprise appeared in their eyes and faces.
You know, Chu Xun said that it was comparable to his thousand years of hard practice. And with Chu Xun's amazing devouring ability after the system awakened, his thousand years of hard practice was at least equivalent to an ordinary immortal for tens of thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years of hard practice.
Such a huge power, Chu Xun alone naturally cannot fully absorb it in a short time, but even if it is distributed among everyone present, it is enough to bring them considerable benefits.
And more importantly, this is just the first resource city they "digested"!
Once they completely digest the power contained in the remaining ten or so third-level resource cities, their strength will certainly be greatly improved. At that time, even if they encounter enemies of the same level as the Golden Winged Dapeng Bird and Kong Xuan, they may not be without the power to fight.
However, the only question now is whether they have so much time!
After all, converting the power in the crystal ore into the universal magic cube is one thing, but refining and absorbing this power and turning it into one's own cultivation is another thing.
What's more, now they have only "digested" the first city, and there are more than ten cities that need them to deal with, which will take a lot of time.
This means that whether they can complete all this before the Battle of the Gods officially begins is still unknown.
Therefore, after realizing the urgency of time, Chu Xun and others also began to change their action plan.
On the one hand, Chu Xun immediately left the worthless Tianjing City and rushed to the next city to "digest" the resources in that city.
On the other hand, Anger and the others all gathered in Chu Xun's kingdom of God, and began to practice hard by absorbing the power fed back by the universal magic cube, trying to improve their own strength as much as possible.
After all, they don't have much time left, and now they can only race against time and try every possible way to improve themselves.
I hope there is still time!
However, sometimes fate is so wonderful. Perhaps because Chu Xun and others had exhausted their good luck in the previous Yunhuang Mountain, the East China Sea, and when dealing with the three corpses of Shiji Niangniang, their luck was not very good next time.
The next few resource cities they arrived at were also third-level resource cities, and their value was not lower than that of Tianjing City, but the resources contained in them were not crystal ore, but some other natural treasures or exotic flowers and plants.
Although these natural treasures and exotic flowers and plants are more precious than crystal ore in a sense, and some treasures are in short supply and have no market, their value to Chu Xun and others is far from comparable to crystal ore that can be converted into energy as soon as possible.
In desperation, they could only temporarily give up these resources that were difficult to mine and use quickly and rush to the next city.
In the end, after spending about a month and getting rid of several groups of demons and monks who were similar to Biyun Tongzi and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when they were chased by the Golden Winged Peng Bird and Shushan was also messed up by the Golden Winged Peng Bird and had no time to take care of other things, Chu Xun finally dealt with the dozen or so third-level resource cities that belonged to them.
However, what disappointed them was that among these dozen third-level resource cities, even including Tianjing City, only four resource cities contained crystal mines that could be absorbed and devoured by them.
In addition to these four resource cities containing crystal mines, the other ten resource cities are rich in various mineral treasures and exotic flowers and plants, which are of no significance to Chu Xun and others in a short period of time.
In desperation, Chu Xun and others could only stop and then begin to refine the huge power they extracted from the four crystal mines using the universal magic cube.
Although the power of the four crystal mines is far less than their expectations, it is actually quite huge. As long as the power of these four crystal mines can be fully refined, each of them can at least be equivalent to a thousand years of cultivation out of thin air.
Don't underestimate this thousand years of cultivation. For Chu Xun and others with weak foundations, it undoubtedly consolidates their foundation and comprehensively improves their combat effectiveness and sustained combat effectiveness. At least if they fight against strong men like Shiji Niangniang or Golden Winged Dapeng again, they will no longer be as embarrassed and exhausted as before.
While the others were trying their best to absorb the huge energy in the universal magic cube, Chu Xun did the opposite and began to draw out the power in his body to prepare to condense a new Ksitigarbha body.
Because Xingtian's blood essence was too huge, after swallowing Xingtian's blood essence, Chu Xun actually found it difficult to completely refine the power in the blood essence in a short period of time. In addition, this time he swallowed a huge amount of energy from the crystal mines through the universal magic cube. So in order to be able to transform these energies and resources into actual combat power as soon as possible, the best way for Chu Xun was to use these powers to condense a new Ksitigarbha body!
In this way, using Xingtian's blood essence and the huge power from the crystal mines, his second Ksitigarbha body will also take shape quickly. If he is lucky, he can even use this new Ksitigarbha body to condense a new Dharma image.
And with the condensation of this new Ksitigarbha body and the Zuwu Dharma image, his combat power will be further improved, and at the same time, he will be one step closer to condensing the twelve Dharma images and mastering the twelve Dutian Shensha formation!
