Chapter 360 Breakthrough Foundation Building
If Tao Youcheng really breaks through to the foundation-building stage, it will be difficult to deal with him. Qingyang dared not delay any longer and commanded the alcoholic bees to charge at Tao Youcheng desperately.
Tao Youcheng was at the critical moment of the breakthrough and had no time to deal with the alcoholic bees. He could only use the excess true qi in his body to form a true qi shield outside, while he took the time to improve his cultivation. The crazy alcoholic bees kept attacking and soon broke a gap in Tao Youcheng's true qi shield. Several alcoholic bees rushed in and stung Tao Youcheng fiercely.
Perhaps Tao Youcheng's ability to endure pain was too strong, or perhaps the pain in his body had covered up the pain of the alcoholic bees' stings, so Tao Youcheng was not affected too much. He even freed his hands and slapped the bitten part directly, killing several alcoholic bees instead.
As Tao Youcheng's strength increased, the gap between him and the alcoholic bees became larger and larger. In the past, they could still play a restraining role, but now the attacks of the alcoholic bees are not scary for Tao Youcheng. Only the three purple-backed alcoholic bees can cause him some trouble.
In a blink of an eye, Tao Youcheng absorbed the blood demon Gu in the sixth corpse, and his cultivation level increased a lot. Of course, the true qi and Yuanshen riots in his body became more and more powerful, but the bottleneck of the foundation-building period was too strong, and he did not break through.
Tao Youcheng glanced at Guo Kaifeng, Qiu Mingxi, Chen Biwang and others, and a trace of regret appeared on his face. If he could absorb all the cultivation of these people, let alone the foundation-building period, even the middle stage of the foundation-building period would not be a problem. However, these people were not dead yet, and the blood demon Gu could not completely control their bodies, so it could not be used to improve his cultivation for the time being.
Then he turned his gaze to Tao Zhengyou and Tao Yougong. A trace of reluctance first appeared on his face, but soon this expression disappeared, replaced by a trace of cruelty and determination. Yes, the people are dead, what's the use of feeling sorry for them? He waved his hand, and the rattle in the air shook Tao Zhengyou and Tao Yougong's bodies vigorously for a few times. The two bodies actually slowly got up from the ground and walked towards Tao Youcheng.
How could Qingyang watch Tao Youcheng absorb the cultivation of the two bodies and break through to the foundation-building stage in front of him? He could no longer care about the danger, and called back the alcoholic bee swarm to protect his whole body. He circulated his whole body's true energy and once again performed the Three Yuan Sword Art.
As soon as the Three Yuan Sword Art came out, the three magic swords, the Green Bamboo Sword, the Blue Wave Sword, and the Golden Shadow Sword, appeared at the same time, swinging sword shadows in the air, and the three swords combined to attack Tao Youcheng.
Facing the powerful Sanyuan Sword Art, Tao Youcheng did not seem to be afraid. He protected the two corpses behind him and used his body to block the sword formation. His hands were not idle either. One hand used the blood demon Gu to absorb the cultivation of Tao Zhengyou and Tao Yougong, and the other hand directly slapped Qingyang who was controlling the Sanyuan Sword Formation from behind.
There were countless sizzling sounds in his ears, and countless blood marks were cut on Tao Youcheng's body, but the Sanyuan Sword Formation used by Qingyang was also broken. One force can defeat ten skills. Tao Youcheng blocked the attack of the entire Sanyuan Sword Formation with just his body.
One palm broke the Sanyuan Sword Art, and the attack of the other palm had already reached Qingyang. Qingyang was already struggling to use the Sanyuan Sword Art by force, but the Sanyuan Sword Formation was forcibly broken by Tao Youcheng. The recoil force in it shocked Qingyang's blood and blood, and he almost couldn't breathe.
At this moment, Tao Youcheng's other palm attack also came. Qingyang had no time to respond, nor was he able to make any defense. He was hit on the chest by Tao Youcheng. Even if he had temporarily improved to the ninth level of Qi Refining, he was not comparable to Qingyang, a mere third-level Qi Refining cultivator. With a light click, several ribs of Qingyang were broken.
This palm was extremely powerful. Qingyang's body was like a kite with a broken string. He flew backwards several feet away and fell to the ground, unable to move. After a long time, Qingyang raised his head with a strong breath. His body seemed to be falling apart, and it was difficult to get up.
Qingyang couldn't help but show a bitter smile on his face. The attack of the peak of Qi Refining was too powerful. Tao Youcheng was doing two things at the same time. A palm with such power was casually used. If he didn't have the top-grade defensive magic weapon, the Forest Armor, on his body, his whole body might have been broken.
I was still a little careless. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have taken such a risk. It would have been better to let the Iron Arm Monkey or the Alcoholic Queen Bee come out to help, and I wouldn't have encountered such danger.
But Qingyang also knew that although releasing the Iron Arm Monkey or the Alcoholic Queen Bee would save trouble, it would not be of much benefit to him. Not to mention whether people would see his secrets, asking them to help every time he encountered danger would not be good for his cultivation.
Cultivating immortals is not only about strength, but also about heart. If you let others come out to help you when you encounter danger, and you don't have the mind to face difficulties and dare not solve the difficulties, how can your strength be improved? How can your state of mind be trained? How can you go far on the road of cultivating immortals?
So if Qingyang is given another choice, he will still do it. Of course, this is when you can ensure that you are not in danger. If you are at a critical moment of life and death, and you can't even save your own life, asking for help is necessary, such as now.
Tao Youcheng did not pursue the victory, because his breakthrough had reached a critical moment. Tao Zhengyou and Tao Yougong's cultivation had been absorbed by him. At this time, the true energy and Yuanshen in his body were undergoing earth-shaking changes, and he could not make any mistakes. As for Qingyang, he had been slapped into a half-crippled state by his palm, unable to move, and could be dealt with at any time.
The foundation-building stage was once such a distant realm for him, but now it is within reach and he is about to break through. As long as he becomes a foundation-building cultivator, handles these troubles in front of him, obtains blood lotus roots and blood lotus seeds, and solves the troubles of the true energy and Yuanshen in his body, he will be an authentic foundation-building cultivator from now on.
What does it matter if my son and second brother die? After breaking through the foundation, I have a lifespan of 200 years, and it won't take many years to rebuild the Tao family. What if I am wanted? Can the immortal gate turn the entire Jiuzhou continent upside down? If I am really desperate, I can just flee overseas. There are plenty of places to go in the world. Can the immortal gate still chase me out?
Tao Youcheng's aura continued to rise, and soon broke through a limit, reaching another indescribable level. If the aura of a Qi-refining cultivator is like a pool of water, then the aura of a foundation-building cultivator is like a lake, and the gap between the two is like a natural chasm.
